A Parallel Kinetic Model for Surface and Bulk Charge Storage in ε -MnO 2 Pseudocapacitors

Pseudocapacitive materials such as manganese dioxide (MnO 2 ) are attractive for energy storage applications due to their ability to combine the fast kinetics of capacitors with the higher energy density of battery-type systems. However, the electrochemical behavior of MnO 2 remains difficult to interpret mechanistically, in part because existing models often fail to distinguish between surface-based redox processes and bulk intercalation mechanisms. In this work, we develop a physics-based model that represents MnO 2 pseudocapacitance as a linear combination of two independent, parallel electrochemical processes: (i) the surface or near-surface redox storage and (ii) lithium ion intercalation into the bulk material. These two processes are treated with distinct kinetic and thermodynamic parameters and are assumed to proceed independently. The total measured current is assumed to be the sum of these two partial currents. We validate the model using rate-dependent cyclic voltammetry experiments, demonstrating that it captures key trends and provides physically interpretable parameters reflecting the relative contributions of surface and bulk processes. By enabling a clear separation between these mechanisms, the model offers a useful framework for analyzing pseudocapacitive materials and can guide the rational design of high-performance energy storage electrodes.

Lanthanide binding peptide surfactants at air–aqueous interfaces for interfacial separation of rare earth elements

Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical materials to modern technologies. They are obtained by selective separation from mining feedstocks consisting of mixtures of their trivalent cation. We are developing an all-aqueous, bioinspired, interfacial separation using peptides as amphiphilic molecular extractants. Lanthanide binding tags (LBTs) are amphiphilic peptide sequences based on the EF-hand metal binding loops of calcium-binding proteins which complex selectively REEs. We study LBTs optimized for coordination to Tb 3+ using luminescence spectroscopy, surface tensiometry, X-ray reflectivity, and X-ray fluorescence near total reflection, and find that these LBTs capture Tb 3+ in bulk and adsorb the complex to the interface. Molecular dynamics show that the binding pocket remains intact upon adsorption. We find that, if the net negative charge on the peptide results in a negatively charged complex, excess cations are recruited to the interface by nonselective Coulombic interactions that compromise selective REE capture. If, however, the net negative charge on the peptide is −3, resulting in a neutral complex, a 1:1 surface ratio of cation to peptide is achieved. Surface adsorption of the neutral peptide complexes from an equimolar mixture of Tb 3+ and La 3+ demonstrates a switchable platform dictated by bulk and interfacial effects. The adsorption layer becomes enriched in the favored Tb 3+ when the bulk peptide is saturated, but selective to La 3+ for undersaturation due to a higher surface activity of the La 3+ complex.

Evanescent Mode Photoemission

Photoemission of electrons from solid surfaces into vacuum is routinely used in two configurations: reflection mode, in which light is incident on the emitting surface, and transmission mode, in which light illuminates the photoemissive material from behind. Here, using silicon nitride waveguides integrated beneath a high quantum efficiency cesium antimonide thin film, we demonstrate a new photoemission regime─the evanescent mode photoemission─in which light travels parallel to the surface in the waveguide while evanescently coupling into the thin film to excite and emit photoelectrons. Furthermore, our experiments show that this configuration enables direct visualization of guided optical modes over an unprecedented range (∼100 nm to 1 mm) and allows electron beam shaping at the source with transverse features well below ∼600 nm, establishing evanescent mode photoemission as a new platform for nanoscale optical field mapping and precise generation of electron beams.

Geographic source attribution of honey by strontium isotope analyses: Latvia and India measurements compared to model predictions in a feasibility study

Strontium isotope ratios ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) can be used to determine the geographic origin of agricultural products. Here, in this study, we measured the 87 Sr/ 86 Sr of honey samples from Richland, WA, USA, Latvia, and India, and compared the results to published 87 Sr/ 86 Sr from surrounding areas and values predicted based upon a random forest isoscape model (Bataille et al., 2020). While the 87 Sr/ 86 Sr of the honey samples compared well with previously published data, the model did not accurately predict the 87 Sr/ 86 Sr of the honey samples, demonstrating that further refinement of the model would be beneficial. Because Sr cycling in terrestrial ecosystems is complex, the 87 Sr/ 86 Sr of honey is likely to reflect several sources (e.g., nectar, surface water, dust) and may change over time. In order to accurately predict the 87 Sr/ 86 Sr of honey, models must consider local geology, ecology, and bee behavior. Additional research examining how Sr is incorporated into honey is needed to inform models.

Statistical Analysis of Trans‐Ionospheric Pulse Pairs and Inferences on Their Characteristics

Trans-ionospheric pulse pairs (TIPPs), first observed in 1993, are signatures of in-cloud lightning discharges observed by satellite-based broadband very high frequency (VHF) receivers. It has been definitively shown that TIPPs are the space-based signatures of compact intracloud discharges (CIDs), and that the associated pair of pulses that comprise a TIPP result from the direct VHF pulse from the discharge, followed by a pulse reflected from the Earth's surface. However, the ratio of the peak amplitudes of these two pulses can vary widely, with the second pulse often having considerably higher peak amplitude than the first. This observation has not been satisfactorily explained. Using data collected from geostationary orbit by the Radio Frequency Sensor (RFS) and matched to locations reported by the Global Lightning Dataset (GLD360), we assemble the largest database to date of 76,348 TIPPs with associated location, altitude, and amplitude ratio of the two pulses in the TIPP. We show that the amplitude ratio of TIPPs is strongly correlated to the altitude of the associated discharges and the geometry of the source location with respect to the Earth's surface and the receiver. These observations strongly suggest that the difference in amplitude of the two pulses is driven by a nondipole radiated beam pattern that is dependent on the polarity of the CID, velocity of the current wavefront, and viewing angle.

Formation and optical properties of indium nanoparticle arrays for deep-UV plasmonics

We utilize a combined computational-experimental approach to examine the influence of indium nanoparticle (NP) array distributions on deep-ultraviolet (UV) plasmon resonances. For photon energies < 5.7 eV, analysis of ellipsometric spectra reveals an increase in silicon reflectance induced by indium NP arrays on silicon. For various energies in the range 5.7–7.0 eV, a decrease in reflectance is induced by the NP arrays. Similar trends in reflectance are predicted from finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations using NP size distributions extracted from atomic-force micrographs as input. In addition, in the energy range of 7.4–9.2 eV, the FDTD simulations reveal reflectance minima, characteristic of localized surface plasmon resonances. Here, electron energy-loss spectroscopy collected from individual indium NPs reveals the presence of LSPR at ≈ 8 eV, further supporting the promise of indium NP arrays on silicon for deep-UV plasmonics.

Novel Technology of Non-Contact Real-Time Radiation Damage Sensor for High Power Targets

High-power proton beams planned for forthcoming long-baseline neutrino experiments will subject solid targets to unprecedented radiation damage, threatening reliability and increasing costs. To address this challenge, we are building a real-time, non-contact sensor that tracks damage by measuring broadband laser reflectivity changes from the target surface. A low-power super-continuum Class 3B laser illuminates the sample inside a vacuum test chamber while a high-resolution fiber-coupled spectrometer captures S- and P-polarized light; spectral shifts reveal defect-driven variations in optical constants. My internship goal is to design, build, and commission this prototype by implementing a laser-safety interlock and light shield, integrating remote-operation cameras, and fabricating modular 3-D-printed mounts that enable tool-free swaps without disturbing alignment. The laser, spectrometer, and vacuum chamber have been delivered; interlock hardware, cameras, and mounts are in final assembly, and leak testing of the chamber is underway. Upcoming work will focus on initial calibration of the sensor and executing first beam-irradiation studies.

Surface deformation coupled with self-organized pattern on a liquid anode of 1 atm DC glow discharge

Intricate, self-organized plasma structures observed above the surface of a liquid anode of atmospheric DC glow discharge were found to give rise to coherent, organized surface deformation and mechanical wave formation at the plasma–liquid interface. This new phenomenon indicates that the liquid is closely coupled to the plasma by the anode sheath’s electrohydrodynamic (EHD) force. A scientific question then arises: Do surface perturbations, coupled with the nonuniform surface charge distribution, enhance the electric field and induce self-organization? Using the reflective background-oriented schlieren technique, the liquid surface profile under the plasma pattern was measured for the first time. The results show that surface distortions are driven by the repulsive Coulomb force of nonuniform net-negative surface charge acted by the anode sheath field. The impacts of various operating parameters on the patterns and surface waves were examined, revealing the significance of gas heating and liquid charge relaxation time in the pattern formation mechanism. Time-resolved dynamics of a pulsed DC discharge indicated that the surface deformation only appeared after the establishment of plasma patterns. Statistically, the surface wave under the plasma has high wave numbers (8000–16000 m −1 ) and small amplitudes ($<$ 10 µm), generally found in the capillary wave regime. Yet the motion of surface deformations is in tandem with the plasma pattern and exhibits a nondispersive nature of constant phase velocity (0.1–0.4 m s −1 ), suggesting the dominant role of EHD force over the surface tension in the observed surface wave. These results indicate that the deformed liquid surface is driven by the EHD force of the plasma sheath. Although they share a similar geometry, the deformation and wave dynamics of the liquid surface do not stimulate a plasma pattern. Importantly, the complex EHD coupling in the plasma–liquid system raises awareness and new challenges for plasma control engineering, and the quantitative characteristics of the nondispersive surface wave are informative for advancing relevant theory and modeling.

The correlation between Arctic sea ice, cloud phase and radiation using A-Train satellites

Abstract. Climate warming has a stronger impact on Arctic climate and sea ice cover (SIC) decline than previously thought. Better understanding and characterization of the relationship between sea ice and clouds and the implications for surface radiation is key to improving our confidence in Arctic climate projections. Here we analyze the relationship between sea ice, cloud phase and surface radiation over the Arctic, defined as north of 60° N, using active- and passive-sensor satellite observations from three different datasets. We find that all datasets agree on the climatology of and seasonal variability in total and liquid-bearing (liquid and mixed-phase) cloud covers. Similarly, our results show a robust relationship between decreased SIC and increased liquid-bearing clouds in the lowest levels (below 3 km) for all seasons (strongest in winter) but summer, while increased SIC and ice clouds are positively correlated in two of the three datasets. A refined map correlation analysis indicates that the relationship between SIC and liquid-bearing clouds can change sign over the Bering, Barents and Laptev seas, likely because of intrusions of warm air from low latitudes during winter and spring. Finally, the increase in liquid clouds resulting from decreasing SIC is associated with enhanced radiative cooling at the surface. Our findings indicate that the newly formed liquid clouds reflect more shortwave (SW) radiation back to space compared to the surface, generating a cooling effect of the surface, while their downward longwave (LW) radiation is similar to the upward LW surface emission, which has a negligible radiative impact on the surface. This overall cooling effect should contribute to dampening future Arctic surface warming as SIC continues to decline.

Crystallographic registry in epitaxial V3O5 thin films

Crystallographic orientation plays a central role in determining transport properties in correlated oxides with low-hysteresis metal–insulator transitions. Here, V3O5 thin films were grown on Al2O3 (0001) and their crystallographic registry was evaluated using x-ray diffraction and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. θ–2θ measurements show a single out-of-plane orientation defined by the (202) reflection. Azimuthal φ-scans of the V3O5 (310) reflection exhibit twelve discrete maxima over 360°, indicating a finite set of in-plane orientations imposed by the substrate symmetry. High-resolution TEM and fast Fourier transform analysis confirm crystallographic coherence at the film–substrate interface. The electrical conductivity exhibits a metal–insulator transition at TMIT ≈ 423 K with no measurable thermal hysteresis and a total change of ~1.6 orders of magnitude between 300 and 480 K. These results establish crystallographic registry in epitaxial V3O5 thin films and provide a structurally well-defined system for future studies of orientation-dependent transport.\r\nT

Determining the oxidation stability of SnSe under atmospheric exposure

Abstract Understanding surface stability becomes critical as 2D materials like SnSe are developed for piezoelectric and optical applications. SnSe thin films deposited by molecular beam epitaxy showed no structural changes after a two-year exposure to atmosphere, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and reflectivity show a stable 3.5 nm surface oxide layer, indicating a self-arresting oxidative process. Resistivity measurements show an electrical response dominated by SnSe post-exposure. This work shows that SnSe films can be used in ambient conditions with minimal risk of long-term degradation, which is critical for the development of piezoelectric or photovoltaic devices.

Improved liquid lithium surfaces in the Lithium Tokamak Experiment-β

Advances in vacuum, surface, and lithium conditioning techniques throughout five years of continuous operations in LTX-β have produced mirror-like liquid lithium surfaces and demonstrated the feasibility of high-performance tokamak discharges fully surrounded by liquid metal without significant operational problems. Improvements in conditioning techniques and procedures, including many weeks of baking and accumulation of 70 g of Li, led to reduced residual gasses and clean Li surfaces - all while still maintaining enough operational flexibility for multiple in-vacuum diagnostic upgrades and calibrations. Coatings had a visibly clean appearance, with reflective liquid metal demonstrating good wetting and surface adhesion with films that were now macroscopically thick. Solidified Li showed large crystal grains, while surface science measurements observed reduced impurities in the lithium. Steadily improved plasma performance was achieved with liquid lithium, with discharges able to match solid Li in terms of evolution of I p and n e , including rapid density pumping indicating low recycling. There were indications of moderately increased Li impurity influx, though few significant disturbances by the large liquid surfaces on tokamak operations over hundreds of discharges. Liquid metal plasma facing components are a potential solution to the extreme heat and particle fluxes that could cause unacceptable damage to solid materials, while liquid lithium also has the potential for greatly increased confinement in the low-recycling regime. While many liquid metal approaches are possible, and numerous experiments have been conducted in test stands and small modules in fusion devices, LTX-β is the only tokamak operated while fully surrounded by liquid metal.

Decoupling size and surface effects of intermetallic CuPd nanocrystals for electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia

Nitrate pollution poses a major environmental challenge, but its electrochemical conversion to ammonia offers a sustainable waste-to-value solution. Here, in this study, we synthesized monodisperse, size-tunable B2-phase CuPd intermetallic nanocrystals (6–46 nm) and studied their performance in the electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (eNO 3 RR). By using bromide ions to modulate Pd reduction and applying mild annealing, we achieved phase-pure B2 structures across all sizes. Catalytic testing revealed a volcano-like trend in ammonia yield, peaking at 33 nm nanocubes with a rate of 6.97 mol h −1 g −1 at −0.6 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). This optimum reflects a balance between the increased surface area of smaller particles and the enhanced exposure of active (100) facets in larger ones. Theoretical calculations indicated that the B2-CuPd (100) facet is favorable for nitrate adsorption, thereby supporting the high activity of nanocubes. Our results highlight the critical role of tuning both nanoparticle size and surface structure to maximize eNO 3 RR efficiency.

Investigation of N 2 /O 2 plasma interaction with Pt-catalyst: effect of metastable adsorbates on product hysteresis

The coupling of catalysts and atmospheric-pressure plasma has the potential to improve the efficiency of certain catalytic reactions. Understanding the changes that the catalyst surface undergoes during exposure to plasma is key to improving plasma–catalytic performance. In this work, long term exposure of Pt–Al 2 O 3 powder catalyst to an Ar/N 2 /O 2 non-equilibrium atmospheric-pressure plasma-jet was investigated. Products produced by the interaction were analyzed downstream with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy while surface species were analyzed operandi with diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. During exposure, the catalyst temperature was ramped cyclically between 100 °C and 350 °C to understand how substrate temperature affects the plasma–catalyst interaction. Long-lasting changes were revealed to take place on the catalyst surface during plasma exposure. At low temperatures, Pt–O and Pt–NO accumulate on the surface which react at elevated temperatures to form NO 2 . NO 2 initially appears to spill on to the Al 2 O 3 support as nitrites and nitrates instead of desorbing. Stable surface conditions are only achieved after prolonged plasma exposure, when nitrate sites on the Al 2 O 3 support are filled. By changing the catalyst temperature at various rates, the impact of total plasma species flux to the surface was analyzed. It was found that decreasing the heating rate increased the hysteresis in the pattern of NO 2 formation during thermal cycling. The variation with temperature demonstrates that plasma exposure results in a buildup of surface NO x and oxygen species which react or desorb at high temperatures. The observed changes are discussed from the generic viewpoint that a non-equilibrium plasma interacting with a catalyst at low temperature introduces metastable steady-state surface conditions. Upon heating above a threshold temperature, the introduced surface modifications can change either due to thermal effects, or, for a plasma environment, by additional interaction with the incident plasma species flux. The surface/material changes take place in a highly predictable fashion and after sufficient time above the threshold temperature reach a steady-state condition that is different from the transient behavior that is observed during initial heating. During cooling the plasma-surface interaction exhibits a different behavior than during heating, and this results in hysteresis of diverse observables. The metastability/hysteresis description appears quite generic and analogous to hysteresis behavior seen for different systems. Furthermore, it is expected to be useful for understanding the consequences of plasma–catalyst surface interactions for various systems.

Updating the MCNP neutron guide extension for supermirror absorption, gamma production, and neutron polarization

As supermirror technology has developed, there is a trend towards higher m-values for supermirrors which propagate more neutrons with higher divergence to experimental areas. These supermirrors have thousands of alternating layers of typically nickel and titanium with varying thicknesses deposited on the surface. Neutrons of grazing incidence are reflected from these layers with a probability dependent on the angle of incidence and the wavelength of the neutron. Those neutrons that are not reflected may be captured in the supermirror layers and produce high energy gamma rays that require shielding. The supermirror extension for MCNP has been updated to estimate the capture of neutrons in the supermirror layers of a neutron guide through the banking of photons in a virtual supermirror layer and the reduction of the weight of the neutrons transmitted into the substrate. A new functionality has been added to simulate neutron polarization specifically in the context of a supermirror polarizer for neutron beamlines. In conclusion, the underlying theory, code implementation in MCNP, and examples of gamma production and a V-cavity polarizer will be discussed.

Modifying Specific Ion Effects: Studies of Monovalent Ion Interactions with Amines

Specific ion effects in the interactions of monovalent anions with amine groups-one of the hydrophilic moieties found in proteins-were investigated using octadecylamine monolayers floating at air–aqueous solution interfaces. Here, we find that at solution pH 5.7, larger monovalent anions induce a nonzero pressure starting at higher areas/molecules, i.e., a wider “liquid expanded” region in the monolayer isotherms. Using X-ray fluorescence at near total reflection (XFNTR), an element- and surface-specific technique, ion adsorption to the amines at pH 5.7 is confirmed to be ion-specific and to follow the conventional Hofmeister series. However, at pH 4, this ion specificity is no longer observed. We propose that at the higher pH, the amine headgroups are only partially protonated, and large polarizable ions such as iodine are better able to boost amine protonation. At the lower pH, on the other hand, the monolayer is fully protonated, and electrostatic interactions dominate over ion specificity. These results demonstrate that ion specificity can be modified by changing the experimental conditions.

Multiple origins of extra electron diffractions in fcc metals

Diffuse intensities in the electron diffraction patterns of concentrated face-centered cubic solid solutions have been widely attributed to chemical short-range order, although this connection has been recently questioned. This article explores the many nonordering origins of commonly reported features using a combination of experimental electron microscopy and multislice diffraction simulations, which suggest that diffuse intensities largely represent thermal and static displacement scattering. A number of observations may reflect additional contributions from planar defects, surface terminations incommensurate with bulk periodicity, or weaker dynamical effects.

CHESS 2025: Orthorectified airborne RGB imagery from NEON AOP surveys

This dataset provides Level 1 (L1) and Level 3 (L3) orthorectified Red-Green-Blue (RGB) imagery collected for the 2025 Colorado Headwaters Ecological Spectroscopy Study (CHESS). This high-resolution imagery is a photographic record of red, green, and blue visible light from sunlight reflected off of the Earth’s surface. The data comprise full-color images of the ground surface and are primarily intended to provide context to imaging spectroscopy and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data. The data were acquired over three study domains in the Upper Gunnison river basin: the upper East River watershed (CRBU); Almont Triangle and Taylor Canyon (ALMO); and Upper Taylor River watershed (UPTA) between 2025-06-13 and 2025-07-15. RGB images were acquired using the PhaseOne IXM-RS150F high-resolution digital camera onboard the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) Airborne Observation Platform (AOP). The package data include both an L1 product comprising one camera frame per file and an L3 mosaic aligned to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 13N grid and the World Geodetic System (WGS) 84 projection. Both products are provided in geotif (.tif) format at 0.1 m ground resolution. The bulk of the imagery was collected during the main CHESS field campaign from June 13 to July 15, 2025. Additional images of a portion of the Upper Taylor (UPTA) domain were collected on September 18, 2025, to fill gaps in imagery identified after the main campaign was complete. RGB camera imagery is not radiometrically calibrated, and therefore pixel values should not be exploited for scientific analysis. Pixel values have undergone a manual adjustment to enhance feature identification. The imagery is rigorously geolocated which does allow for reliable geometric information to be retrieved. To generate the orthorectified imagery, the NEON AOP camera captured visible spectrum in red, green, and blue bands. The raw images were then processed using NEON’s camera orthorectification workflow. A boresight calibration flight was made to build a complete camera, distortion, and alignment model. Color balance/white balance and exposure correction were applied to the raw RGB images. The corrected images were orthorectified by ray-tracing image pixels to a lidar-derived digital surface model (DSM) mesh using the refined camera model, outputting orthorectified raster pixels on a regular grid. Flightline-level data were mosaicked by selecting per-pixel contributions from overlapping orthorectified images using line-of-sight (LOS) zenith angle minimization to reduce edge distortions. CHESS Project Description: The Colorado Headwaters Ecological Spectroscopy Study (CHESS) comprised a multi-week airborne remote sensing and field observation campaign in the Upper Gunnison Basin, Colorado, conducted in June and July of 2025. Airborne remote sensing was conducted by the National Ecological Observatory Network Airborne Observation Platform (NEON AOP), concurrent with a field campaign run by the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL), the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Watershed Function Science Focus Area (SFA), and NASA-JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) program. Between June 10 and July 18, 2025, the NEON AOP flight team collected high-resolution aerial imaging spectroscopy and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data over three domains: the Upper East River (CRBU), Almont Triangle (ALMO), and the Upper Taylor Basin (UPTA). In coordination with the flights, a field campaign acquired ground-truth observations, including observations of vegetation composition, foliar traits, forest demography, and subsurface properties in 18 core sampling areas within the domains. Additional surface water observations were taken at over 380 point locations. All CHESS campaign datasets can be found within the CHESS ESS-DIVE data portal: https://data.ess-dive.lbl.gov/portals/chess.
