Phase diagram of infinite layer praseodymium nickelate Pr 1– x Sr x NiO 2 thin films

In this paper, we report the phase diagram of infinite layer Pr 1-x Sr x NiO 2 thin films synthesized via topotactic reduction from the perovskite precursor phase using CaH 2 . Based on the electrical transport properties, we find a doping-dependent superconducting dome extending between x = 0.12 and 0.28, with a maximum superconducting transition temperature T c of 14 K at x = 0.18, bounded by weakly insulating behavior on both sides. In contrast to the narrower dome observed in Nd 1–x Sr x NiO 2 , a local T c suppression near x = 0.2 was not observed for the Pr 1-x Sr x NiO 2 system. Normal state Hall effect measurements indicate mixed carrier contributions of both electrons and holes, and show a sign change in the Hall coefficient as functions of temperature and x, quite similar to that in Nd 1-x Sr x NiO 2 . Also similar is the observation of a minimum in the normal state resistivity associated with the superconducting compositions. These findings indicate an infinite layer nickelate phase diagram that is relatively insensitive to the rare-earth element, but suggest that disorder arising from the variations of the ionic radii on the rare-earth site affects the superconducting dome.

Essential role of magnetic frustration in the phase diagrams of doped cobaltites

Doped perovskite cobaltites (e.g., La 1–x Sr x CoO 3 ) have been extensively studied for their spin-state physics, electronic inhomogeneity, and insulator-metal transitions. Ferromagnetically interacting spin-state polarons emerge at low x in the phase diagram of these compounds, eventually yielding long-range ferromagnetism. The onset of long-range ferromagnetism (x≈0.18) is substantially delayed relative to polaron percolation (x≈0.05), however, generating a troubling inconsistency. Here, in this study, Monte Carlo simulations of a disordered classical spin model are used to establish that previously ignored magnetic frustration is responsible for this effect, enabling faithful reproduction of the magnetic phase diagram.

Hall effect in LaCrGe 3 at pressures up to 24 kbar and a 𝐻−𝑇 phase diagram of the pressure-induced magnetic phase

LaCrGe 3 is a metallic, itinerant ferromagnet with 𝑇 𝐶 ≈ 86K and an easy magnetic direction along its hexagonal 𝑐 axis. Here we present studies of the 𝐻 ∥ 𝑐 Hall effect in LaCrGe 3 at ambient pressure and under pressures up to 24 kbar. At ambient pressure the anomalous Hall conductivity in the ferromagnetic state reaches a large value of ∼520 Ω − 1 cm −1 . The overall data are consistent with the behavior expected for a ferromagnet with magnetic field applied along its easy axis. Measurements under pressure yield an 𝐻 = 0, 𝑃−𝑇 phase diagram consistent with earlier publications with 𝑇 𝐶 being suppressed with pressure and nonferromagnetic phases appearing for 𝑃 >15 kbar. The data suggest that the observed 𝑇 𝐶 suppression is due to the pressure-dependent exchange interactions rather than suppression of the size of the magnetic moment. Field-dependent Hall resistivity in the higher-pressure, nonferromagnetic state is consistent with the net moment being zero for 𝐻=0. In a finite field there is a sharp anomaly comparable to the one associated with a spin-flip metamagnetic transition. The 𝐻−𝑇 phase diagrams corresponding to a pressure-induced magnetic phase are constructed for several pressures. In conclusion, the Hall data suggest the possibility of the pressure-induced nonferromagnetic phase being a combination of multiple small regions of antiferromagnetic phases with different wave vectors.

Deep Learning-enhanced Block-Diagram Modeling of Solar Power Systems

Data-driven models of power system inverter-based resources are desired to run simulations faster than with detailed electromagnetic transient models, to hide proprietary design details, to support control system design applications, and to aggregate the effects of distributed energy resources. This paper applies a customized Hammerstein Wiener framework to train block diagram models from thousands of electromagnetic transient simulations or experimental test records. The block diagram models integrate with larger grid simulations as voltagecontrolled current sources or current-controlled voltage sources for several simulators. Guidelines for block architecture and training are presented. Three-phase balanced, three-phase unbalanced, and single-phase examples all achieve an acceptable root mean square error of no more than 0.05 per-unit.

Exploring the QCD phase diagram through correlations and fluctuations

The exploration of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram is a central goal of relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments. This review focuses on the role of fluctuations and correlations as sensitive probes of the phase structure. We discuss theoretical advancements and experimental methodologies employed to map the QCD phase diagram, highlighting constraints derived from both lattice QCD calculations and existing experimental data. Key observables such as cumulants and factorial cumulants of conserved charges (e.g., net-proton, net-charge) are explored as promising signatures of phase transitions and the QCD critical point. We discuss how these quantities are measured experimentally and compared with theoretical predictions, addressing challenges and best practices for meaningful comparisons. Special attention is given to predictions and current experimental results at high baryon density, including recent findings from the STAR collaboration at RHIC. Finally, we identify open issues and future directions for fluctuation and correlation studies at lower collision energies, relevant for future measurements, for example by the CBM experiment.

Event-modeled Risk Assessment Using Linked Diagrams

Event Modeling Risk Assessment using Linked Diagrams (EMRALD) is a software tool developed at INL for researching the capabilities of dynamic PRA (Probabilistic Risk Assessment). In order to promote the effective use of dynamic PRA by the general community, EMRALD focuses on the following key aspects: Simplifying the modeling process by providing a structure that corresponds to traditional PRA modeling methods Providing a user interface (UI) that makes it easy for the user to model and visualize complex interactions Allowing the user to couple with other analysis applications such as physics based simulations. This includes one-way communication for most applications and two-way loose coupling for customizable applications Providing the sequence and timing of events that lead to the specified outcomes when calculating results Traditional aspects of components with basic events, fault trees, and event trees are all captured in a dynamic framework of state diagrams, which are displayed.

Ab Initio Phase Diagram of Tungsten

The phase diagram of tungsten (W) to a pressure (P) of 2500 GPa is investigated using a comprehensive ab initio approach that includes (i) the calculation of the zero temperature (T) free energies (enthalpies) of different solid structures, (ii) the quantum molecular dynamics simulation of the melting curves of different solid structures, (iii) the derivation of the analytic form for the solid-solid phase transition boundary, and (iv) the simulations of the solidification of liquid W into the final solid states on both sides of the solid-solid phase transition boundary, in order to confirm the corresponding analytic form. There are two solid structures confirmed to be present on the phase diagram of W, the ambient body-centered cubic (bcc) and the high-pressure double hexagonal close-packed (dhcp). At T = 0, the bcc-dhcp transition occurs at 1060 GPa, and the transition boundary has a positive slope dT/dP : the bcc-dhcp-liquid triple point is at (P, T) = (1675 GPa, 23680 K).

Bump Morphology of the CMAGIC Diagram

Abstract We apply the color–magnitude intercept calibration method (CMAGIC) to the Nearby Supernova Factory SNe Ia spectrophotometric data set. The currently existing CMAGIC parameters are the slope and intercept of a straight line fit to the linear region in the color–magnitude diagram, which occurs over a span of approximately 30 days after maximum brightness. We define a new parameter, ω XY , the size of the “bump” feature near maximum brightness for arbitrary filters X and Y . We find a significant correlation between the slope of the linear region, β XY , in the CMAGIC diagram and ω XY . These results may be used to our advantage, as they are less affected by extinction than parameters defined as a function of time. Additionally, ω XY is computed independently of templates. We find that current empirical templates are successful at reproducing the features described in this work, particularly SALT3, which correctly exhibits the negative correlation between slope and “bump” size seen in our data. In 1D simulations, we show that the correlation between the size of the “bump” feature and β XY can be understood as a result of chemical mixing due to large-scale Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities.

Exploring the QCD Phase Diagram

Exploring the QCD phase diagram through relativistic heavy-ion collisions is a primary goal of modern nuclear physics. This contribution focuses on fluctuations and correlations of conserved charges — specifically net-baryon and net-charge cumulants — as sensitive probes of the phase structure and the QCD critical point. We discuss recent theoretical and experimental advancements, highlighting constraints from lattice QCD and new results from the RHIC Beam Energy Scan program. Key challenges in theory-to-experiment comparisons at high baryon density are discussed, alongside the systematic requirements for meaningful physical interpretation. Finally, we identify open issues and outline the discovery potential of future low-energy experiments, such as CBM, in resolving the high-density regime of the phase diagram.

Reliability computation from reliability block diagrams

A method and a computer program are presented to calculate probability of system success from an arbitrary reliability block diagram. The class of reliability block diagrams that can be handled include any active/standby combination of redundancy, and the computations include the effects of dormancy and switching in any standby redundancy. The mechanics of the program are based on an extension of the probability tree method of computing system probabilities.

REDUCE 2: A computer program for the symbolic reduction of large block diagrams

REDUCE 2 is reported as a FORMAC program which symbolically calculates the transfer function(s) of any linear-block-diagram output variable to any or all input variables. The program requires as input a set of algebraic expressions representing the block diagram, the desired transfer function(s), and a string of variables indicating the desired order of reduction. The solution is presented in the compact form of a set of nested functions (super G's). The program can handle systems as large as 600 equations and is intended as a tool for the analysis of complex control and dynamic systems. A companion FORTRAN program, EVAL 2, which numerically evaluates the solution set to obtain amplitude ratio and phase angle as functions of frequency is also presented.

Wave refraction diagrams for the Baltimore Canyon region of the mid-Atlantic continental shelf computed by using three bottom topography approximation techniques

The Langley Research Center and Virginia Institute of Marine Science wave refraction computer model was applied to the Baltimore Canyon region of the mid-Atlantic continental shelf. Wave refraction diagrams for a wide range of normally expected wave periods and directions were computed by using three bottom topography approximation techniques: quadratic least squares, cubic least squares, and constrained bicubic interpolation. Mathematical or physical interpretation of certain features appearing in the computed diagrams is discussed.
