The two-step metal oxide water-splitting cycle is one of the most viable approach for Solar Thermochemical Hydrogen (STCH) production. Challenges exist in finding suitable oxides that can satisfy thermodynamics of the STCH redox cycle under viable range of temperatures and partial pressures. Recently, BXM family members, i.e., Ba4NbMn3O12 (BNM), Ba4CeMn3O12 (BCM), Ba4PrMn3O12 (BPM) are discovered to exhibit promising STCH performance. However, the magnetic degrees of freedom of their experimental crystal structures is not characterized, and only hypothetical models exist for their electronic structure. We performed Monte-Carlo sampling for the magnetic spin arrangement of Mn atoms to provide explicit atomic structure models for their ground state 12R polytype and determined the most stable spin configuration for each member after structure relaxation using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We also elucidate the most stable charge configuration (Mn3+/Mn4+ arrangement) for BNM among the existing hypothesis in literature. We investigate these strongly correlated oxides using different levels of theory (DFT+U, Hybrid-DFT) to develop better understanding of their electronic structure. These calculations allowed us to develop a model based on molecular orbital interactions that help explain the observed changes in their experimental x-ray spectroscopy measurements. Thereby, help link differences in electronic structure of BXM family members to their varying water-splitting behavior. These structure models will further facilitate future in-depth defect studies to model STCH redox cycle of these oxides.

A method for fabricating a composite useful in a white light emitting device, includes mixing a phosphor and a filler to form a mixture; sintering the mixture (e.g., using spark plasma sintering) to form a composite; and annealing the composite to reduce oxygen vacancies and improve optical properties of the composite. Also disclosed is a white light emitting device including a laser diode or light emitting diode optically pumping the phosphor in the composite to produce white light. The composite fabricated using the method (and having. e.g., at most 50% phosphor by weight) can (1) reduce an operating temperature of the phosphor by 55 degrees, (2) increase an external quantum efficiency (e.g., by at least 15%) of the white light emitting device, and (3) result in color points and quality of the white light that is equal to or improved, as compared to without the filler.

Jefferson Lab is proposing to add positron beams to the 12 GeV Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). A team of accelerator and nuclear scientists was formed in 2018 to develop the physics case as well as a concept for the generation, production and delivery of Continuous (CW) polarized positron beams to the experimental halls, up to the full 12 GeV. A layout of the proposed concept will be shown. We will report on the ongoing efforts in the positron generation and capture, target design, beam transport and expected properties of the e+ beam on the experimental targets at 12GeV. This project is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics under contract DE-AC05-06OR23177
