Spectroscopic Investigations of Molecular Symmetry Breakdown

This project addressed precise measurements of the spectra of molecules to address fundamental questions in chemical physics in the realm of nuclear spin symmetries and their breakdown in molecules, and parity non-conservation caused by the weak nuclear force. Nuclear spin symmetry is intimately connected to parity in symmetrical molecules and plays a central role in the physical and chemical properties of symmetric molecules, their collisional relaxation, and the establishment of thermodynamic equilibrium in an ensemble. Such effects are present in every molecular system or process, but their small size means they are often only directly observable under special conditions. However, their measurement is of fundamental, and often practical importance, and strongly relates to the themes of coherence in light and matter in the recent Basic Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (BESAC) report “Challenges at the Frontiers of Matter and Energy: Transformative Opportunities for Discovery Science”.

Muon-Catalyzed Fusion

Fusion holds great promise as a clean and abundant energy source. However, traditional thermonuclear fusion encounters significant challenges due to the extreme temperatures required to overcome the coulomb barrier for two nuclei to fuse. In contrast, muon-catalyzed fusion presents an alternative approach that can surmount this barrier at significantly lower temperatures. Muons, with properties resembling those of electrons but 200 times heavier, can effectively reduce the atomic orbital radius, enabling central nuclei to overcome the coulomb force through the strong force. By introducing muons into a mixture of deuterium and tritium (two hydrogen isotopes), fusion is facilitated, releasing a 3.5MeV alpha particle and a 14.1MeV neutron. In the majority of cases, the muon is liberated and can initiate further fusions. However, approximately 0.8% of the time, it adheres to the alpha particle and remains bound until it either decays or undergoes reactivation through collisional ionization. To maximize the number of fusions per muon, it is crucial to enhance the cycling rate and reactivation fraction. Theoretical predictions and experimental data both suggest that the sticking rate decreases with increasing density. However, there exists a discrepancy between experimental observations and theoretical estimations regarding the extent of this decrease. To address these disparities, this experiment aims to investigate the cycling rate and sticking fraction under higher temperatures and pressures than previously explored.

Preliminary Evidence of Gas-Phase Water Splitting on Holmium Nitrogen Oxide Clusters

Preliminary Evidence of Gas-Phase Water Splitting on Holmium Nitrogen Oxide Clusters Christopher A. Zarzana1, Makayla R. Baxter , Introduction: Molecular hydrogen is a potential energy carrier that could be used to help implement a clean energy economy if it is generated from splitting of water. Improvements in the efficiencies of water-splitting electrolyzers relies on development of novel materials with enhanced performance. However, research in this area is slowed due to underdeveloped understanding of the mechanisms of device performance due to challenges interrogating the fundamental chemical reactions at play in bulk materials. Studies of the intrinsic reactivity of clusters that are representative of the reactive sites of these materials can increase understanding of the fundamental reaction mechanisms involved in hydrogen production, allowing for more efficient development of new water-splitting materials. Methods: Holmium tetranitrato ([Ho(NO3)4]-) clusters were generated in gas-phase using the electrospray ionization source of a Bruker (Billerica, MA, USA) micrOTOF-Q II quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Spray solutions consisted of aqueous holmium (Ho) nitrate solutions (at nominally 3 mM) diluted to 30 µM in acetonitrile. The holmium (Ho) tetranitrato clusters were isolated using the quadrupole and were subsequently activated and allowed to react with background water in the collision cell. High resolution, high mass accuracy spectra were recorded using the time-of-flight. Mass accuracy was ensured using external calibration with Agilent (Santa Clara, CA, USA) ESI-L Low Concentration tuning mix. Preliminary data: Collisional activation of the holmium tetranitrato complexes ([Ln(NO3)4]-) resulted in an expected series of ions resulting from the loss of ·NO and ·NO2. This included an ion at m/z = 382.885 assigned as [HoO2(NO3)3]- (theoretical m/z=382.884, error=-1.2 ppm), resulting from loss of ·NO, and an ion at m/z=366.890 assigned as [HoO(NO3)3]- (theorical m/z=366.889, error=-1.8 ppm), resulting from loss of ·NO2. Additional ions were detected that would result from more complicated losses from [Ho(NO3)4]-, including ions at m/z=320.898 assigned as [HoO2(NO3)2]- (theoretical m/z=320.896, error=-4.9 ppm), at m/z=304.904 assigned as [HoO(NO3)2]- (theoretical m/z=304.901, error=-8.1 ppm, very low signal), and at m/z=288.908 assigned as [Ho(NO3)2]- (theoretical m/z=288.907, error=-3.4 ppm). This ion series would arise from loss of some combination of ·NO, ·NO2, and ·NO3, although it is not known whether these losses occur sequentially (e.g. loss of ·NO and ·NO3 to yield [HoO2(NO3)2]-) or as a single species (e.g. direct loss of N2O4). These ions were accompanied by a complementary series representing addition of a single water molecule. This included an ion at m/z=338.908 assigned as [HoO2(NO3)2H2O]- (theoretical m/z=338.907, error=-4.1 ppm), an ion at m/z=322.912 assigned as [HoO(NO3)2H2O]- (theoretical m/z=322.912, error=1.2 ppm), and an ion at m/z=306.918 assigned as [Ho(NO3)2H2O]-, (theoretical m/z=306.918, error=-3.7 ppm). An additional hydrated ion was observed at m/z=276.921 assigned as [HoO2(NO3) H2O]- (theoretical m/z=276.919, error=-7.3 ppm), although corresponding dehydrated ion was not observed. An additional ion was observed at m/z=367.898 that has been assigned as [Ho(NO3)3OH]- (theoretical m/z=367.897, error=-2.5 ppm). It is hypothesized that this ion arises from addition of water to [Ho(NO3)3]- followed by elimination of a hydrogen radical. Neither [Ho(NO3)3]- nor [Ho(NO3)3H2O]- were detected, suggesting that, if the hypothesis is correct, addition of water to [Ho(NO3)3]- and its subsequent splitting is rapid. Elimination of HNO3 from [Ho(NO3)4H2O]- could also yield [Ho(NO3)3OH]-; however, no [Ho(NO3)4H2O]- ions were observed. Novelty: Potential evidence of water splitting on gas-phase lanthanide clusters offers a way to study the intrinsic reactivity of hydrogen-generation materials.

Plasma-Coupled Flow Reactor Studies of Low-Temperature Plasma Assisted Kinetics of Methanol Blended with CO2

Ignition technologies based on low-temperature plasmas (LTP) have the potential to operate next generation engines at elevated pressures and increased dilution limits promoting higher efficiencies. From a practical standpoint, research on LTP igniters has shown to enhance combustion and ignition, improve flame stability, and extend the dilution limits of combustion. All of the aforementioned gains are complemented with higher ignition efficiencies. However, the biggest challenge with incorporating this technology into engines is the knowledge gap of how exactly plasma chemistry effects can enhance the basic combustion phenomena. This coupled with the lack of validated kinetic mechanisms for plasma-combustion chemistry is the biggest obstruction to recognize efficient ignition, especially for application relevant fuels and biofuels. In order to comprehensively evaluate the effects of LTP on an oxygenated fuel specific system, this present study examines the kinetics of methanol plasma-assisted pyrolysis and oxidation using a custom-built plasma flow reactor (PFR). Experimental regimes are also further extended to understand the effects of adding CO2 to the mixture and its consequence on reaction kinetics. The PFR is installed with a dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) configuration to induce LTP into the fuel mixture. Non-equilibrium plasmas are generated by high-voltage pulses (nearing 20 KV) administered by a plasma pulser at high-pulse repetition rates (up to 10 kHz). In order to better understand and isolate plasma chemistry and its effect on neutral chemistry, the experiments were carried out by heavily diluting reactive mixtures in nitrogen at near isothermal conditions. This suppresses the effect of exothermic reactions on chemistry allowing stable intermediates and products to be detected and quantified using ex-situ GC/MS diagnostic methods. Experiments were carried out at 0.5 atm pressure and over a wide range of temperatures from 523 K to 1203 K. Experimental results depicted the enhancement in intermediates production as well as overall lower temperatures required for complete fuel consumption in the plasma specific cases as opposed to their pure thermal counterpart. Formation of oxygenated and nitrile compounds specific to plasma assisted pyrolysis cases illustrated the efficacy of LTP to introduce new reaction pathways accelerating fuel decomposition. Increase in reactivity at lower temperatures is sought to be an effect induced by plasma chemistry postulating the acceleration in intermediates production. The onset of thermal ignition in plasma assisted oxidation is seen 200 K earlier than thermal oxidation highlighting efficient fuel conversion to final byproducts. Enhanced collisional processes afforded by LTP is seen to perturb reaction pathways between oxygenated fuel radicals and N-atoms to alter overall chemical reactivity. New insights into kinetics are gained from this study highlighting governing plasma assisted combustion (PAC) pathways for oxygenated fuel reaction chemistry. The results from this study can be used to develop future mechanisms specific to plasma chemistry which can bridge the mechanistic knowledge gap for LTP ignition so that future engines can adopt LTPs in their design for efficient combustion.

Time-domain self-broadened and air-broadened nitrogen S-branch Raman linewidths at 80–200 K recorded in an underexpanded jet

We report pure-rotational N 2 –N 2 , N 2 –air, and O 2 –air S-branch linewidths for temperatures of 80–200 K by measuring the time-dependent decay of rotational Raman coherences in an isentropic free-jet expansion from a sonic nozzle. We recorded pure-rotational hybrid femtosecond/picosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (fs/ps CARS) spectra along the axial centerline of the underexpanded jet, within the barrel shock region upstream of the Mach disk. The dephasing of the pure-rotational Raman coherence was monitored using probe-time-delay scans at different axial positions in the jet, corresponding to varying local temperatures and pressures. The local temperature was obtained by fitting CARS spectra acquired at zero probe time delay, where the impact of collisions was minimal. The measured decay of each available Raman transition was fit to a dephasing constant and corrected for the local pressure, which was obtained from the CARS-measured static temperature and thermodynamic relationships for isentropic expansion from the known stagnation state. Nitrogen self-broadened transitions decayed more rapidly than those broadened in air for all temperatures, corresponding to higher Raman linewidths. In general, the measured S-branch linewidths deviated significantly in absolute and relative magnitudes from those predicted by extrapolating the modified exponential gap model to low temperatures. The temperature dependence of the Raman linewidth for each measured rotational state of nitrogen (J ≤ 10) and oxygen (N ≤ 11) was fit to a temperature-dependent power law over the measurable temperature domain (80–200 K) and extrapolated to both higher rotational states and room temperature. Furthermore, the measured and modeled low-temperature linewidth data provided here will aid low temperature gas-phase pressure measurements with fs/ps CARS.

Energy-resolved mass spectrometry as a tool for identification of lignin depolymerization products

Lignin is the largest source of bio-based aromatic compounds in nature, and its valorization is essential to the sustainability of lignocellulosic biorefining. Characterizing lignin-derived compounds remains challenging due to the heterogeneity of this biopolymer. Tandem mass spectrometry is a promising tool for lignin structural analytics, as fragmentation patterns of model compounds can be extrapolated to identify characteristic moieties in complex samples. This work extends previous resonance excitation type collision-induced dissociation (CID) methods that identified lignin oligomers containing β-Ο-4, β-5, and β-β bonds, to also identify characteristics of 5-5, β-1, and 4-Ο-5 dimers, enabled by quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) CID with energy-resolved mass spectrometry (ERMS). Overall, beam type ERMS offers in-depth structural information and could ultimately contribute to tools for high-throughput lignin dimer identification.

Mass spectrometry structural analysis of intrinsically disordered phosphoproteins

Phosphorylation is a ubiquitous protein modification that is known to play important roles in many biological phenomena including cell signaling, the opening and closing of membrane protein channels, and even triggering of amyloid protein aggregation. Despite the effects phosphorylation has on protein function, the impact phosphorylation has on the structure of proteins is not well understood. Here, to determine how phosphorylation affects the structure of proteins, top-down mass spectrometry (TD-MS) and ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) were performed on various phosphorylated proteins and their dephosphorylated proteoforms. TD-MS with collision- and electron-based fragmentation techniques was utilized to locate phosphorylation sites on the intrinsically disordered amyloid proteins β-casein and α-synuclein. TD-MS also provided evidence that alkaline phosphatase dephosphorylates β-casein from the N-terminus to the C-terminus. Furthermore, IM-MS of common phosphorylated proteins such as β-casein, α-casein, ovalbumin, and phosvitin indicates that phosphorylation promotes compaction of protein structure in denaturing as well as native conditions. Increases in abundance of more compact conformers are also observed when the disease related amyloid protein α-synuclein is phosphorylated at serine 129. We interpret the increased abundance of more compact conformers when proteins are phosphorylated as evidence that salt bridges form between negatively charged phosphates and positively charged residues, which alters protein structure. Salt bridge formation due to phosphorylation could be a mechanism for regulating protein function and be responsible for many of the phenomena observed in nature.

Computing the Paschen curve for argon with speed-limited particle-in-cell simulation

Upon inclusion of collisions, the speed-limited particle-in-cell (SLPIC) simulation method successfully computed the Paschen curve for argon. The 1D3V simulations modeled an electron cascade across an argon-filled capacitor, including electron-neutral ionization, electron-neutral elastic collisions, electron-neutral excitation, and ion-induced secondary electron emission. In electrical breakdown, the timescale difference between ion and electron motion makes traditional PIC methods computationally slow. To decrease this timescale difference and speed up computation, here we used SLPIC, a time-domain algorithm that limits the speed of the fastest electrons in the simulation. The SLPIC algorithm facilitates a straightforward, fully kinetic treatment of dynamics and collisions. SLPIC was as accurate as PIC, but ran up to 200 times faster. SLPIC accurately computed the Paschen curve for argon over three orders of magnitude in pressure.

Benchmarking NIMROD continuum kinetic formulations through the steady-state poloidal flow

In this work, continuum kinetic formulations are employed as a mechanism to include closure physics in an extended magnetohydrodynamics model. Two continuum kinetic approaches have been implemented in the plasma fluid code NIMROD [Sovinec et al., “Nonlinear magnetohydrodynamics with high-order finite elements,” J. Comput. Phys. 195, 355 (2004)] including a Chapman–Enskog-like (CEL) formulation and a more conventional df approach. Ion kinetic closure schemes are employed to describe the neoclassical flow properties in axisymmetric toroidal geometry. In particular, predictions for steady-state values of poloidal flow profiles in tokamak geometry are provided using both the df formulation and two different solution techniques for the CEL approach. These results are benchmarked against analytic theory predictions as well as results from the drift kinetic code DK4D. The continuum kinetic formulations employed here show agreement with both the analytic theory and DK4D results, and offer a novel velocity space representation involving higher-order finite elements in pitch angle.

Argon metastable density and temperature of a 43 GHz microplasma

Argon (1s 5 ) metastable density and translational gas temperature are experimentally measured using laser diode absorption spectroscopy within a 43 GHz microplasma. The plasma is initiated and sustained within a photonic crystal constructed from a rectangular array of alumina rods, each 1 mm in diameter. This configuration generates stable microplasma from 10 to 600 Torr using millimeter wave power from 100 to 1200 mW. The metastable density is in the order of 10 18 m –3 at low pressure. However, Ar(1s 5 ) density decreases to undetectable levels with increasing pressure and wave power. The gas temperature is extracted from the Lorentzian line shape of the absorption profile at 811.53 nm. The gas temperature increases from approximately 400 K at low pressure to 2000 K at 320 Torr (427 mbar, 4.27 × 10 4 Pa). Furthermore, these data are compared with previous results and suggest that the microplasma has a dense core of electrons that depletes the metastable density at high gas pressure and wave power.

Effect of a central barrier potential on asymmetry-induced transport in a coaxial Malmberg–Penning trap

Experiments are presented measuring the radial particle flux produced when a central barrier potential is applied to the central ring of a coaxial Malmberg-Penning trap at the same time as the voltages producing the main asymmetry potential $\phi_1(r)\cos{(kz)}\cos{(l\theta-\omega t)}$. When a negative DC voltage is applied to the entire central ring, the peak flux produced by the main asymmetry is reduced by a factor $e^{(V_{eff}/1.2)}$ where $V_{eff}$ is the effective applied potential in volts. This barrier potential also increases the frequency of this peak flux. When asymmetric $\pm$ voltages are applied to the two azimuthally-divided halves of the central ring, DC voltages increase the radial flux while AC voltages decrease it. It is shown that these asymmetric barrier voltages produce their own transport and that the resulting modification of the plasma may be a factor in changing the observed flux.

Collisionless Larmor coupling and blob formation in a laser-plasma expanding into a magnetized ambient plasma

Collisionless Larmor coupling is a fundamental process in space and astrophysical plasmas that enables momentum transfer between an expanding plasma and a magnetized ambient medium. Here, in this paper, we report on the laboratory experimental study of Larmor coupling leading to the formation of a plasma blob associated with a laser-driven, super-Alfvénic plasma flow on the Large Plasma Device at the University of California, Los Angeles. The high-repetition rate enables systematic spatial and temporal scans of the plasma evolution using Doppler spectroscopy, as well as measurements of the magnetic field, electrostatic field, and self-emission of both debris and ambient ions using filtered imaging. We observe the self-focusing of the laser-produced plasma and the formation of a secondary diamagnetic cavity associated with a blob composed of background ions. Doppler spectroscopy reveals the transverse velocity distribution of the background ions, providing direct evidence of ion energization via Larmor coupling. The systematic spatial and temporal scans enabled by the high-repetition-rate experiment allow for a detailed characterization of the ion dynamics. These experimental observations are supported by numerical simulations that provide more insight into the kinetic-scale physics associated with blob formation as well as the role of the ambient plasma density.

Velocity-space distribution function of fast ions in a sawtoothing plasma

This study explores the influence of sawtooth oscillations on the velocity space distribution of fast ions in tokamak plasma discharges. The relevant Fokker–Planck equation for fast ions is solved analytically. Two distinct effects arising from the temperature drop associated with a sawtooth crash and their impact on the distribution function of fast ions are considered. The first effect involves the modulation of the fusion alpha particle source on the timescale of the sawtooth period, linked to the drop in fusion yield resulting from the sawtooth temperature relaxations. The second effect is tied to the increase of the slowing-down time during the sawtooth ramp, causing particles born later in the sawtooth cycle to experience reduced slowing down compared to those born right after the crash, creating an accumulation-like mechanism at higher energies. In regimes where the sawtooth period is shorter than the fast ion slowing-down time, the combined influence of these effects gives rise to fast ion distribution functions that transiently exhibit positive slopes in velocity space.

The impact of non-local parallel electron transport on plasma-impurity reaction rates in tokamak scrape-off layer plasmas

Abstract Plasma-impurity reaction rates are a crucial part of modelling tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) plasmas. To avoid calculating the full set of rates for the large number of important processes involved, a set of effective rates are typically derived which assume Maxwellian electrons. However, non-local parallel electron transport may result in non-Maxwellian electrons, particularly close to divertor targets. Here, the validity of using Maxwellian-averaged rates in this context is investigated by computing the full set of rate equations for a fixed plasma background from kinetic and fluid SOL simulations. We consider the effect of the electron distribution as well as the impact of the electron transport model on plasma profiles. Results are presented for lithium, beryllium, carbon, nitrogen, neon and argon. It is found that electron distributions with enhanced high-energy tails can result in significant modifications to the ionisation balance and radiative power loss rates from excitation, on the order of 50%–75% for the latter. Fluid electron models with Spitzer-Härm or flux-limited Spitzer-Härm thermal conductivity, combined with Maxwellian electrons for rate calculations, can increase or decrease this error, depending on the impurity species and plasma conditions. Based on these results, we also discuss some approaches to experimentally observing non-local electron transport in SOL plasmas.

Investigations of atomic and molecular processes of NBI-heated discharges in the MAST Upgrade Super-X divertor with implications for reactors

This experimental study presents an in-depth investigation of the performance of the MAST-U Super-X divertor during NBI-heated operation (up to 2.5 MW) focussing on volumetric ion sources and sinks as well as power losses during detachment. The particle balance and power loss analysis revealed the crucial role of Molecular Activated Recombination and Dissociation (MAR and MAD) ion sinks in divertor particle and power balance, which remain pronounced in the change from ohmic to higher power (NBI heated) L-mode conditions. The importance of MAR and MAD remains with double the absorbed NBI heating. MAD results in significant power dissipation (up to ${\sim} 20\%$ of $P_\textrm{SOL}$), mostly in the cold ($T_e \lt 5$ eV) detached region. Theoretical and experimental evidence is found for the potential contribution of $D^-$ to MAR and MAD, which warrants further study. These results suggest that MAR and MAD can be relevant in higher power conditions than the ohmic conditions studied previously. Post-processing reactor-scale simulations suggests that MAR and MAD can play a significant role in divertor physics and synthetic diagnostic signals of reactor-scale devices, which are currently underestimated in exhaust simulations. This raises implications for the accuracy of reactor-scale divertor simulations of particularly tightly baffled (alternative) divertor configurations.

Hydrogen Line Shape Uncertainties in White Dwarf Model Atmospheres

For isolated white dwarf (WD) stars, fits to their observed spectra provide the most precise estimates of their effective temperatures and surface gravities. Even so, recent studies have shown that systematic offsets exist between such spectroscopic parameter determinations and those based on broadband photometry. These large discrepancies (10% in T eff , 0.1 M ⊙ in mass) provide scientific motivation for reconsidering the atomic physics employed in the model atmospheres of these stars. Recent simulation work of ours suggests that the most important remaining uncertainties in simulation-based calculations of line shapes are the treatment of 1) the electric field distribution and 2) the occupation probability (OP) prescription. We review the work that has been done in these areas and outline possible avenues for progress.

Optical Microscopy-Guided Laser Ablation Electrospray Ionization Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry: Ambient Single Cell Metabolomics with Increased Confidence in Molecular Identification

Single cell analysis is a field of increasing interest as new tools are continually being developed to understand intercellular differences within large cell populations. Laser-ablation electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LAESI-MS) is an emerging technique for single cell metabolomics. Over the years, it has been validated that this ionization technique is advantageous for probing the molecular content of individual cells in situ. Here, we report the integration of a microscope into the optical train of the LAESI source to allow for visually informed ambient in situ single cell analysis. Additionally, we have coupled this ‘LAESI microscope’ to a drift-tube ion mobility mass spectrometer to enable separation of isobaric species and allow for the determination of ion collision cross sections in conjunction with accurate mass measurements. This combined information helps provide higher confidence for structural assignment of molecules ablated from single cells. Here, we show that this system enables the analysis of the metabolite content of Allium cepa epidermal cells with high confidence structural identification together with their spatial locations within a tissue.
