Extreme Longitudinal Compression of Optimized Beams for MEV Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (Final Technical Report)

We worked out the design of a high repetition rate MeV energy ultrafast electron diffraction instrument based on the existing Cornell photoinjector, which can readily be applied to the presented findings. This example is a blueprint of other similarly arranged UED setups. Using particle tracking simulations in conjunction with multiobjective genetic algorithm optimization, we explored the smallest bunch lengths, emittance, and probe spot sizes achievable. As two limits, we defined stroboscopic conditions (with single electrons per pulse) and operation with 10 5 electrons per bunch which may be suitable for single-shot diffraction images. In the stroboscopic case, the flexibility provided by the many cavity bunching and acceleration allows for longitudinal phase space linearization without a higher harmonic field, providing sub-fs bunch lengths at the sample. Given low emittance photoemission conditions, these small bunch lengths can be maintained with probe transverse sizes at the single micron (1 μm) scale and below. In the case of 10 5 electrons per pulse, we simulated state-of-the-art 5D brightness conditions: rms bunch lengths of 10 fs with 3-nm normalized emittances, while permitting repetition rates as high as 1.3 GHz. We showed that in conjunction with collimating apertures, a novel focusing scheme achieves very high-quality emittance compensation for the central core of the beam composing 40% of particles, for a resulting beam size of 5 μm (rms). Finally, to aid in the design of new SRF-based ultrafast electron diffraction machines, we simulated the trade-off between the number of cavities used and achievable bunch length and emittance. In the longitudinal dimension, we made use of the fact that MeV UED requires much lower energy than the 15-MeV maxi mum energy of Cornell’s CBETA injector, and we may therefore use several of the SRF cavities for bunch length compression. In practice, we used a genetic optimization algorithm to choose the phases and amplitudes of the cavities appropriately for optimal bunching. In the zero space charge case, we found that bunching and acceleration are distributed across the six cavities in a way that produces a linearizing effect. And we showed that the ultimate bunch length can be limited by time-of-flight differences arising from transverse size and transverse momentum spread. The space charge code developed and used for this development is now permanent part of the Bmad accelerator simulation code and has already contributed to other developments, e.g., for the EIC electron cooler design.

Stress and Strain Heterogeneity and Persistence in Uniaxially‐ and Triaxially‐Loaded Sandstone

Two critical questions in brittle rock mechanics are how rocks developed localized strains and to what extent internal stress heterogeneity controls this localization and subsequent macroscopic failure. Definitive answers have not yet been found, but would provide insight into rock fracture mechanics as relevant to hydrocarbon extraction and sequestration. Here, we use synchrotron X‐ray tomography (XRT) and 3D X‐ray diffraction (3DXRD) during uniaxial and triaxial tests on Nugget and Bentheimer sandstones to examine strain and stress localization prior to mechanical failure. 3DXRD was used to measure intra‐granular lattice strains which were used to compute elastic stress tensors of each grain. Digital volume correlation (DVC) was applied to XRT images to determine the strain field in the sample. Both samples featured marked spatial heterogeneity, localization, and temporal persistence of elevated stresses and strains during their mechanical deformation toward failure. Both samples featured a majority of grains with at least one principal stress component that was tensile, a signature of the influence of heterogeneity on stress transmission. Measurements further revealed that compressive stress orientations and statistics evolved in a similar manner to those of inter‐particle forces in loose granular materials, with triaxially‐compressed rock exhibiting enhanced grain stress heterogeneity compared to uniaxially‐compressed rock. Our results complement recent work by others who employed XRT and scanning 3DXRD to study triaxially‐compressed sandstone, but extend those results to uniaxial compression, sandstones of varied porosity, and grain stress measurements throughout the 3D full extent of the samples rather than in a single layer examined with scanning 3DXRD.

Time resolved X-ray diffraction using the FIDDLE diagnostic at NIF: Preliminary assessment of diffraction precision

The Flexible Imaging Diffraction Diagnostic for Laser Experiments (FIDDLE) is a new diagnostic at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) designed to observe in situ solid-solid phase changes at high pressures using time resolved X-ray diffraction. FIDDLE currently incorporates five Icarus Ultrafast X-ray Imager sensors that take 2 ns snapshots and can be tuned to collect X-rays for tens of ns. The platform utilizes the laser power at NIF for both the laser drive and the generation of 10 keV X-rays for ~10 ns using a Ge backlighter foil. We aim to use FIDDLE to observe diffraction at different times during compression to probe the kinetics of phase changes. Pb undergoes two solid-solid phase transitions during ramp compression: from FCC to HCP and HCP to BCC. Results will be reported on some of the first shots using the FIDDLE diagnostic at NIF on ramp compressed Pb to a peak pressure of ~110 GPa and a single undriven CeO2 calibration shot. A discussion of the uncertainties in the observed diffraction is included.

Unsupervised multimodal fusion of in-process sensor data for advanced manufacturing process monitoring

Effective monitoring of manufacturing processes is crucial for maintaining product quality and operational efficiency. Modern manufacturing environments often generate vast amounts of complementary multimodal data, including visual imagery from various perspectives and resolutions, hyperspectral data, and machine health monitoring information such as actuator positions, accelerometer readings, and temperature measurements. However, fusing and interpreting this complex, high-dimensional data presents significant challenges, particularly when labeled datasets are unavailable or impractical to obtain. This paper presents a novel approach to multimodal sensor data fusion in manufacturing processes, inspired by the Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) model. We leverage contrastive learning techniques to correlate different data modalities without the need for labeled data, overcoming limitations of traditional supervised machine learning methods in manufacturing contexts. Our proposed method demonstrates the ability to handle and learn encoders for five distinct modalities: visual imagery, audio signals, laser position (x and y coordinates), and laser power measurements. By compressing these high-dimensional datasets into low-dimensional representational spaces, our approach facilitates downstream tasks such as process control, anomaly detection, and quality assurance. The unsupervised nature of our method makes it broadly applicable across various manufacturing domains, where large volumes of unlabeled sensor data are common. We evaluate the effectiveness of our approach through a series of experiments, demonstrating its potential to enhance process monitoring capabilities in advanced manufacturing systems. This research contributes to the field of smart manufacturing by providing a flexible, scalable framework for multimodal data fusion that can adapt to diverse manufacturing environments and sensor configurations. The proposed method paves the way for more robust, data-driven decision-making in complex manufacturing processes.

Biermann-Battery-Driven Magnetized Collisionless Shock Precursors in Laser-Produced Plasmas

This Letter reports the first complete observation of magnetized collisionless shock precursors formed through the compression of Biermann-battery magnetic fields in laser produced plasmas. At OMEGA, lasers produce a supersonic CH plasma flow which is magnetized with Biermann-battery magnetic fields. The plasma flow collides with an unmagnetized hydrogen gas jet plasma to create a magnetized shock precursor. The situation where the flowing plasma carries the magnetic field is similar to the Venusian bow shock. Imaging 2⁢𝜔 Thomson scattering confirms that the interaction is collisionless and shows density and temperature jumps. Proton radiographs have regions of strong deflections and FLASH magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations show the presence of Biermann fields in the Thomson scattering region. Electrons are accelerated to energies of up to 100 keV in a power-law spectrum. Here, OSIRIS particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, initialized with measured parameters, show the formation of a magnetized shock precursor and corroborate the experimental observables.

Investigation of nonlinear mechanical behavior of two superfine-grained graphites with DIC assisted disc splitting test

Using standardized uniaxial tensile test specimens is not practical due to the limited volumes in irradiation capsules, molten salt degradation facilities, or oxidation apparatus. The ASTM International Standard Test Method for Tensile Strength Estimate by Disc Compression of Manufactured Graphite (ASTM D8289) was developed to provide a convenient way for estimating tensile strength. Unlike the traditional uniaxial tensile test in ASTM C749 (International Standard Test Method for Tensile Stress–Strain of Carbon and Graphite), which uses dog-bone shaped specimens larger than 12.95 mm × 120.65 mm, the ASTM D8289 standard uses smaller discs with diameters of 6–12.7 mm. A digital image correlation (DIC) system, which uses a full-field noncontact surface displacement measurement technique, was applied along with the ASTM D8289 disc splitting test on IG-110 samples and compared with previous measurements from Mersen 2114 samples. Results confirmed that the DIC technique can measure the surface displacement/strain on these small (Ø6 mm × 3 mm) graphite specimens with good repeatability. However, Mersen 2114 and IG-110 samples exhibited strain discrepancies when DIC measurements were compared with analytical and finite element simulation values. The loading history and strain results also indicated different mechanical behaviors between Mersen 2114 and IG-110, particularly the nonlinear behavior of the IG-110 samples. Good agreement was observed by comparing the splitting tensile strengths of two superfine-grained grades with results from other work. The specimen size effect is discussed when comparing the splitting tensile strength with corresponding uniaxial tensile strength of these two graphite grades.

Revealing atomic-scale switching pathways in van der Waals ferroelectrics

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials hold the potential for ultrascaled ferroelectric (FE) devices due to their silicon compatibility and robust polarization down to atomic scale. However, the inherently weak vdW interactions enable facile sliding between layers, introducing complexities beyond those encountered in conventional ferroelectric materials and presenting substantial challenges in uncovering intricate switching pathways. Here, we combine atomic-resolution imaging under in situ electrical biasing conditions with first-principles calculations to unravel the atomic-scale switching mechanisms in SnSe, a vdW group IV monochalcogenide. Our results uncover the coexistence of a consecutive 90° switching pathway and a direct 180° switching pathway from antiferroelectric (AFE) to FE order in this vdW system. Atomic-scale investigations and strain analysis reveal that the switching processes simultaneously induce interlayer sliding and compressive strain, while the lattice remains coherent despite the presence of multidomain structures. These findings elucidate vdW ferroelectric switching dynamics at atomic scale and lay the foundation for the rational design of 2D ferroelectric nanodevices.

ExtremeMETA: High-speed Lightweight Image Segmentation Model by Remodeling Multi-channel Metamaterial Imagers

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have heavily relied on traditional computational units, such as CPUs and GPUs. However, this conventional approach brings significant computational burden, latency issues, and high power consumption, limiting their effectiveness. This has sparked the need for lightweight networks such as ExtremeC3Net. Meanwhile, there have been notable advancements in optical computational units, particularly with metamaterials, offering the exciting prospect of energy-efficient neural networks operating at the speed of light. Yet, the digital design of metamaterial neural networks (MNNs) faces precision, noise, and bandwidth challenges, limiting their application to intuitive tasks and low-resolution images. In this study, we proposed a large kernel lightweight segmentation model, ExtremeMETA. Based on ExtremeC3Net, our proposed model, ExtremeMETA maximized the ability of the first convolution layer by exploring a larger convolution kernel and multiple processing paths. With the large kernel convolution model, we extended the optic neural network application boundary to the segmentation task. To further lighten the computation burden of the digital processing part, a set of model compression methods was applied to improve model efficiency in the inference stage. The experimental results on three publicly available datasets demonstrated that the optimized efficient design improved segmentation performance from 92.45 to 95.97 on mIoU while reducing computational FLOPs from 461.07 MMacs to 166.03 MMacs. The large kernel lightweight model ExtremeMETA showcased the hybrid design’s ability on complex tasks.

Correlating energy density induced residual stress, porosity, and mechanical property variations in directed energy deposition using neutron diffraction and imaging techniques

In a directed energy deposition (DED) process, the energy density deposited into the materials drives the structure and properties. The energy density is influenced by several printing parameters, such as laser power, hatch spacing, scanning speed, etc. In this study, 316L stainless steels samples were fabricated with varying hatch spacing aiming to induce variations in sample microstructure and properties. A combination of techniques including engineering neutron diffraction, neutron computed tomography, and tensile testing, were employed to correlate the structure and macroscopic properties. Porosity was predominantly observed at the bottom of the deposited materials and was effectively reduced by decreased hatch spacing. Correlatively, compressive residual stress was observed at the bottom of the specimens, while internal stress is largely determined by the hatch spacing. The residual stress in general decreases as the hatch spacing decreases. The maximum ultimate tensile strength (UTS) was found to increase from 517.4 to 528.6 MPa with a strain increased from 0.847 to 0.897 as the hatch spacing decreased from 0.45 to 0.42 mm. However, further increase in energy density by reducing the hatch spacing resulted in a significant decrease in UTS (as low as 452 MPa). This work provides new insights from bulk non-destructive techniques into correlating energy density induced residual stress, porosity, and mechanical property variations in directed energy deposition.

OPERATION OF FT4000® SINGLE NOZZLE COMBUSTOR WITH HIGH HYDROGEN

This paper reports initial results from an effort to develop a retrofittable fuel/air injector for the FT4000® aeroderivative gas turbine that enables use of hydrogen as a carbon-free fuel for efficient power generation. The FT4000 engine’s low-NOx combustor was developed by Pratt & Whitney and RTX Technology Research Center with core technology from the Pratt & Whitney PW4000 turbofan aircraft engine. The work reported here advances the technology readiness level of the FT4000 combustor for operation with hydrogen, starting with an experimental assessment of the current production hardware with increasing hydrogen content mixed with natural gas. High-pressure single-sector combustor rig tests have been completed, demonstrating the ability for the dual fuel nozzle to operate an FT4000 combustor on 100% hydrogen with low nitrogen oxide (NOx) missions. Metal temperature measurements and video images of the flame structure from zero to 100% hydrogen highlight opportunities to improve the fuel nozzle robustness for high hydrogen conditions. The current FT4000 production engine operates on either natural gas or No. 2 fuel oil with water injection to achieve high thermal efficiency and low emissions. This engine is fielded by Mitsubishi Power Aero and delivers 70 MW of power with a simple-cycle efficiency of over 41% when operating with wet compression. Results from this study have cleared the current production FT4000 engines with dual fuel nozzles to operate at baseload power on blends of hydrogen mixed with natural gas and water.

High‐speed 4‐dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy using compressive sensing techniques

Abstract Here we show that compressive sensing allows 4‐dimensional (4‐D) STEM data to be obtained and accurately reconstructed with both high‐speed and reduced electron fluence. The methodology needed to achieve these results compared to conventional 4‐D approaches requires only that a random subset of probe locations is acquired from the typical regular scanning grid, which immediately generates both higher speed and the lower fluence experimentally. We also consider downsampling of the detector, showing that oversampling is inherent within convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) patterns and that detector downsampling does not reduce precision but allows faster experimental data acquisition. Analysis of an experimental atomic resolution yttrium silicide dataset shows that it is possible to recover over 25 dB peak signal‐to‐noise ratio in the recovered phase using 0.3% of the total data. Lay abstract : Four‐dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4‐D STEM) is a powerful technique for characterizing complex nanoscale structures. In this method, a convergent beam electron diffraction pattern (CBED) is acquired at each probe location during the scan of the sample. This means that a 2‐dimensional signal is acquired at each 2‐D probe location, equating to a 4‐D dataset. Despite the recent development of fast direct electron detectors, some capable of 100kHz frame rates, the limiting factor for 4‐D STEM is acquisition times in the majority of cases, where cameras will typically operate on the order of 2kHz. This means that a raster scan containing 256^2 probe locations can take on the order of 30s, approximately 100‐1000 times longer than a conventional STEM imaging technique using monolithic radial detectors. As a result, 4‐D STEM acquisitions can be subject to adverse effects such as drift, beam damage, and sample contamination. Recent advances in computational imaging techniques for STEM have allowed for faster acquisition speeds by way of acquiring only a random subset of probe locations from the field of view. By doing this, the acquisition time is significantly reduced, in some cases by a factor of 10‐100 times. The acquired data is then processed to fill‐in or inpaint the missing data, taking advantage of the inherently low‐complex signals which can be linearly combined to recover the information. In this work, similar methods are demonstrated for the acquisition of 4‐D STEM data, where only a random subset of CBED patterns are acquired over the raster scan. We simulate the compressive sensing acquisition method for 4‐D STEM and present our findings for a variety of analysis techniques such as ptychography and differential phase contrast. Our results show that acquisition times can be significantly reduced on the order of 100‐300 times, therefore improving existing frame rates, as well as further reducing the electron fluence beyond just using a faster camera.

Multi-messenger dynamic imaging of laser-driven shocks in water using a plasma wakefield accelerator

Understanding dense matter hydrodynamics is critical for predicting plasma behavior in environments relevant to laser-driven inertial confinement fusion. Traditional diagnostic sources face limitations in brightness, spatiotemporal resolution, and in their ability to detect relevant electromagnetic fields. In this work, we present a dual-probe, multi-messenger laser wakefield accelerator platform combining ultrafast X-rays and relativistic electron beams at 1 Hz, to interrogate a free-flowing water target in vacuum, heated by an intense 200 ps laser pulse. This scheme enables high-repetition-rate tracking the evolution of the interaction using both particle types. Betatron X-rays reveal a cylindrically symmetric shock compression morphology assisted by low-density vapor, resembling foam-layer-assisted fusion targets. The synchronized electron beam detects time-evolving electromagnetic fields, uncovering charge separation and ion species differentiation during plasma expansion – phenomena not captured by photons or hydrodynamic simulations. We show that combining both probes provides complementary insights spanning kinetic to hydrodynamic regimes, highlighting the need for hybrid physics models to accurately predict fusion-relevant plasma behavior.

Quantifying motion blur by imaging shock front propagation with broadband and narrowband X-ray sources

Time-integrated radiography using MeV Bremsstrahlung X-ray sources is the norm for imaging during system-level testing of components and structures under dynamic condition. One source of error in the analysis of the time-integrated radiography data sets stems from motion blur which smears out sharp interfaces to a greater degree with longer exposure times, which become necessary to provide sufficient signal-to-noise with low X-ray penetration of objects of interest. To quantify motion blur, a 1D shock wave through PMMA was investigated experimentally at The Dynamic Compression Sector at The Advanced Photon Source (DCS@APS) with tapered broadband and 25.46 ± 1.06 keV narrowband X-rays. Four cameras with different exposure times were used for each experiment to compare the effect that exposure time has on motion blur. In addition, our methodology to accurately simulate motion blur in terms of transmission and shape is presented and compared to our experimental results and quantified. There is a high level of agreement between the experimental and simulation results across the range of data sets investigated in this study with a percent difference range of 0.29–1.31% for the four shots. The methodology of this work serves as a steppingstone towards a physically validated model that could be used in conjunction with experimental results to deconvolve physical parameters, densities, and interfaces of interest in a way that would not be possible with experimental results alone.

Advancements in Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics (Fundamentals and Applications)

Thermo-fluid science is a foundational discipline for numerous mechanical systems, particularly in energy production and building equipment, where thermal and mechanical energy transfer play critical roles. Advancements in heat transfer and fluid mechanics have significantly enhanced these systems, driving progress in associated market sectors. For instance, evaporator and condenser coils are essential for optimizing vapor compression cycles in building equipment. Heat pumps used for space and water heating constitute a major share of building systems, with microchannel heat exchanger technology at the forefront of these innovations. It is worth mentioning that advancements in heat transfer and fluid mechanics significantly alleviate the challenge of designing energy-efficient building equipment. The development of research techniques has contributed significantly to the advancement of science; for example, in the experimental field, non-intrusive measurement techniques such as Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) are now capable of resolving flow behavior in a 3D format for different length and time scales.

High-pressure phase transition in 3-D printed nanolamellar high-entropy alloy by imaging and simulation insights

Abstract We report on the high-resolution imaging and molecular dynamics simulations of a 3D-printed eutectic high-entropy alloy (EHEA) Ni 40 Co 20 Fe 10 Cr 10 Al 18 W 2 consisting of nanolamellar BCC and FCC phases. The direct lattice imaging of 3D-printed samples shows the Kurdjumov–Sachs (K–S) orientation relation {111} FCC parallel to {110} BCC planes in the dual-phase lamellae. Unlike traditional iron and steels, this alloy shows an irreversible BCC-to-FCC phase transformation under high pressures. The nanolamellar morphology is maintained after pressure cycling to 30 GPa, and nano-diffraction studies show both layers to be in the FCC phase. The chemical compositions of the dual-phase lamellae after pressure recovery remain unchanged, suggesting a diffusion-less BCC–FCC transformation in this EHEA. The lattice imaging of the pressure-recovered sample does not show any specific orientation relation between the two resulting FCC phases, indicating that many grain orientations are produced during the BCC–FCC phase transformation. Molecular dynamics simulations on phase transformation in a nanolamellar BCC/FCC in K–S orientation show that phase transformation from BCC to FCC is completed under high pressures, and the FCC phase is retained on decompression aided by the stable interfaces. Our work elucidates the irreversible phase transformation under static compression, providing an understanding of the orientation relationships in 3-D printed EHEA under high pressures.

Electrical Conductivity and Sound Velocities of Talc Under High Pressure and High Temperature Conditions and Application to the Subducting Cocos Plate

Talc is expected to be an important water carrier in Earth's upper mantle, and understanding its electrical and seismic properties under high pressure and temperature conditions is required to detect possible talc-rich regions in subduction zones imaged using geophysical observations. Here, we conducted acoustic and electrical experiments on natural talc aggregates at relevant pressure-temperature conditions. Compressional wave velocity (V p ) was measured using ultrasonic interferometry in a Paris-Edinburgh press at pressures up to 3.4 GPa and temperatures up to 873 K. Similar Vp values are obtained regardless of the initial crystallographic preferred orientation of the samples, which can be explained by talc grain reorientation during the experiment, with the (001) plane becoming perpendicular to the uniaxial compression axis. Electrical conductivity of the same starting material was determined using impedance spectroscopy in a multi-anvil press up to 6 GPa and 1263 K. Two conductivity jumps are observed, at ∼860–1025 K and ∼940–1080 K, depending on pressure, and interpreted as talc dehydroxylation and decomposition, respectively. Electrical anisotropy is observed at low temperature and decreases with increasing pressure (∼10 at 1.5 GPa and ∼2 at 3.5 GPa). Comparison of acoustic and electrical results with geophysical observations in central Mexico supports the presence of a talc-bearing layer atop the subducted Cocos plate.

Melting temperature of bismuth to 55 GPa using synchrotron X-ray phase contrast imaging

The melting temperature of elemental bismuth under high pressure has been measured to 55 GPa using synchrotron X-ray phase-contrast imaging in the laser-heated diamond anvil cell. Imaging of solid-liquid interface formation, combined with radiometric temperature and X-ray diffraction measurements, reveals a pronounced reduction in melting boundary slope in Bi-V with pressure. The unusually steep initial slope is attributed to low configurational entropy of melting, arising from structural ordering and coordination matching in the cool liquid, while slope reduction is driven by entropy increase correlated with significant liquid structure changes with rising pressure and temperature. Finally, the data rule out kinetic effects on melting in shock compression experiments and demonstrate the need for improved theoretical phase diagrams.

Spectral kernel machines with electrically tunable photodetectors

Spectral machine vision collects spectral and spatial information as three-dimensional hypercubes and digitally processes them, which causes a data bottleneck, limiting power efficiency, frame rate, and spectral-spatial resolution. This work introduces spectral kernel machines (SKMs) to overcome these bottlenecks. SKM directly compresses spectral analysis through the output photocurrent and learns from example objects to identify and classify new samples in a "sniff-and-seek" mode. We experimentally demonstrated SKMs with electrically tunable bipolar black phosphorus-molybdenum disulfide (bP-MoS2) photodiodes in the near- and mid-infrared band and silicon photoconductors in the visible band, performing versatile intelligent tasks from chemometrics to semiconductor metrology. This architecture consumed substantially less power and was more than an order of magnitude faster than existing solutions for hyperspectral image analysis, defining an intelligent imaging and sensing paradigm with intriguing possibilities.
