Probe Mössbauer Spectroscopy of BiNi{sub 0.96}{sup 57}Fe{sub 0.04}O{sub 3}

This paper presents results of a {sup 57}Fe probe Mössbauer spectroscopy study of the BiNi{sub 0.96}{sup 57}Fe{sub 0.04}O{sub 3} nickelate. The spectra measured above its TN demonstrate that Fe{sup 3+} cations heterovalently substitute for Ni{sup 2+} nickel (←Fe{sup 3+}), being stabilized on four sites of the nickel sublattice in the structure of BiNiO{sub 3}. Calculations in an ionic model with allowance for monopole and dipole contributions to the electric field gradient indicate that the parameters of electric hyperfine interactions between {sup 57}Fe probe atom nuclei reflect the specifics of the local environment of the nickel in the structure of the unsubstituted BiNiO{sub 3} nickelate. Below T{sup N}, Mössbauer spectra transform into a complex Zeeman structure, which is analyzed in terms of first-order perturbation theory with allowance for electric quadrupole interactions as a small perturbation of the Zeeman levels of the {sup 57}Fe hyperfine structure, as well as for specific features of the magnetic ordering of the Ni{sup 2+} cations in the nickelate studied.

Colloidal Superstructures Programmed into Magnetic Janus Particles

By engineering thin magnetic films onto homogeneous colloidal particles, various crystalline lattices are induced from simple magnetic Janus spheres. In situ formation of dicolloids amplifies the diversity of achievable dynamic structures. The competition between shape anisotropy and dipole orientation generates mesoscopic isomerism. Furthermore, this opens design space for anisotropic building blocks for smart colloidal materials.

Permanent magnets for the return loop of the Cornell-Brookhaven energy recovery linac test accelerator

214 neodymium permanent magnets have been manufactured for the return loop of the CBETA multi-turn ERL at Cornell University. There are 5 types of quadrupole and combined-function gradient magnets using a variant of the circular Halbach design. These are made out of NdFeB material and glued into an aluminium housing with water channels for temperature stabilisation. The NdFeB wedges and magnet construction were done by outside companies, while the final “tuning” using inserts containing 64 iron rods per magnet was done at BNL over a period of about 6 months. Average relative field errors of 2.2×10 -4 were achieved on the beam region. The magnet strengths vary by type but are of order 10 T/m for quadrupole component and up to 0.3 T for the dipole. This paper reports on the field quality and timeline achieved in this production process

Zero-field spin resonance in graphene with proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling

In this work we investigate collective spin excitations in graphene with proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of the Rashba and valley-Zeeman types, as it is the case, e.g., for graphene on transition-metal-dichalcogenide substrates. It is shown that, even in the absence of an external magnetic field, such a system supports collective spin modes, which correspond to coupled oscillations of the uniform and valley-staggered magnetizations. These modes can be detected via both zero-field electron spin resonance (ESR) and zero-field electric-dipole spin resonance (EDSR), with EDSR response arising solely due to Rashba SOC. We analyze the effect of electron-electron interaction within the Fermi-liquid kinetic equation and show that the interaction splits both the ESR and EDSR peaks into two. The magnitude of splitting and the relative weights of the resonances can be used to extract the spin-orbit coupling constants and many-body interaction parameters that may not be accessible by other methods.

Lattice Design of the Beam Transfer Line (BTL) from PIP-II LINAC to the Booster at Fermilab

PIP-II beam transfer line (BTL) to transport the beam from PIP-II Linac to the Booster ring at Fermilab. The latest design eliminates rolling the dipoles in the beam line to cross over the Tevatron tunnel. Also re-designed is the lattice in the region of the Booster Injection to meet the request of the civil construction needs and accommodate the constrains of the Booster injection request. A beam line to the beam absorber (BAL) is designed based on the request from the results of Mars simulations and ANASYS calculation of the absorber. Simulations with dipole and quadrupole field errors for the Beam Transport Line (BTL) to the Booster, which provides the specifications for all the magnets and Power supplies, will be presented too.

Radial Shift Lattice Design using BMAD toolkit

The electron-ion collider (EIC) conceptual design [1] requires that the hadron storage ring (HSR) be able to demonstrate radial shifts using a dual rigidity system. The dual rigidity system is a system in which the dipoles in the utility straight sections(USS) of the EIC lattice have a different rigidity than the arc dipoles thus affecting the beam orbit in the lattice arcs. This difference in rigidity allows the orbital offset in the arc magnets to reach approximately 18.7 mm offset, with a circumference lengthening of 73.2 mm.

Impact of Pulsar and Fallback Sources on Multifrequency Kilonova Models

We explore the impact of pulsar electromagnetic dipole and fallback accretion emission on the luminosity of a suite of kilonova models. The pulsar models are varied over pulsar magnetic field strength, pulsar lifetime, ejecta mass, and elemental abundances; the fallback models are varied over fallback accretion rate and ejecta mass. For the abundances, we use Fe and Nd as representatives of the wind and dynamical ejecta, respectively. We simulate radiative transfer in the ejecta in either 1D spherical or 2D cylindrical spatial geometry. For the grid of 1D simulations, the mass fraction of Nd is 0, 10 –4 , or 10 –3 , and the rest is Fe. Our models that fit the bolometric luminosity of AT 2017gfo (the kilonova associated with the first neutron star merger discovered in gravitational waves, GW170817) do not simultaneously fit the B , V , and I time evolution. Here, we find that the trends of the evolution in B and V magnitudes are better matched by the fallback model relative to the pulsar model, implying the time-dependence of the remnant source influences the color evolution. Further exploration of the parameter space and model deficiencies is needed before we can describe AT 2017gfo with a remnant source.

Design and fabrication of a 30 T superconducting solenoid using overpressure processed Bi2212 round wire

High field magnets are needed for frontier accelerator facilities and have many applications beyond high-energy physics. Of particular interest are 30-40T class (LTS/HTS hybrid) solenoids required for the final beam cooling stages of a muon collider facility. The successful design of such magnets using Bi2212 conductor depends critically on the conductor processing, stress management in the coil, and quench protection. These are the challenges addressed in the proposal and the overall objectives of the combined Phase I and Phase II projects. Bi2212 round wire conductor will be evaluated for accelerator use by concentrating on the design of a solenoid magnet that will be the enabling technology for realizing the final stages of muon beam cooling and thus a high luminosity muon collider. A full mechanical characterization of a test coil made from overpressure-processed conductor with engineering current density JE in the range of & gt;600 A/mm2 at 20-30 T will be performed. The data from the test coil will serve as input to a 30+ T magnet that will be designed, built, and tested to demonstrate the suitability of overpressure-processed Bi2212 for solenoids for final muon cooling and 6D cooling channels. Short lengths and coils wound from up to 100 m length conductor will be overpressure processed. Characterization of an overpressure processed Bi2212 round-wire based solenoid will be performed at 4.2 K in a background field of up to 14 T. The characterization will include mechanical, thermal, and quench properties. The data will be used as input to a 30+ T coil design that has suitable stress management and quench protection, to be built and tested in Phase II. Commercial applications and other benefits: The technology developed by this work will benefit high-energy physics applications. The knowledge and expertise gained from this project will enable the development of very high-field solenoids, dipoles, and quadrupoles using Bi2212 cable at low temperature for applications in future particle accelerators. The technology will also extend the range available to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, an important technique used to understand molecular structures of proteins and other materials.

Status and Challenges of the Interaction Region Magnets for HL-LHC

About one hundred magnets of six different types shall be installed in the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) in the years 2026-2028 at CERN. The magnets design, construction and test are based on CERN collaborations with institutes and industrial partners in USA, Spain, Italy, Japan and China. Three types of correctors are based on Nb-Ti technology and feature conductor peak fields in the 2 to 4 T range: for all of them the prototype phase has been successfully completed. The production is well advanced for the superferric correctors, and is starting for the canted cosine theta correctors and for the nested correctors. The separation and recombination Nb-Ti dipoles D1 and D2, with a 4.5-6 T bore field range, are both in the prototype phase after the completion of the short model program. The most challenging magnet, the Nb 3 Sn quadrupole with conductor peak field above 11 T, is in the prototype phase at CERN and halfway through the production phase in the USA. In this paper we will give, for each type of magnet, an overview of the main achievements obtained so far and we will outline the technical points still needing validation from the prototype program.

Excitation of transverse dipole and quadrupole modes in a pure ion plasma in a linear Paul trap to study collective processes in intense beams

Transverse dipole and quadrupole modes have been excited in a one-component cesium ion plasma trapped in the Paul Trap Simulator Experiment (PTSX) in order to characterize their properties and understand the effect of their excitation on equivalent long-distance beam propagation. The PTSX device is a compact laboratory Paul trap that simulates the transverse dynamics of a long, intense charge bunch propagating through an alternating-gradient transport system by putting the physicist in the beam's frame of reference. A pair of arbitrary function generators was used to apply trapping voltage waveform perturbations with a range of frequencies and, by changing which electrodes were driven with the perturbation, with either a dipole or quadrupole spatial structure. The results presented in this paper explore the dependence of the perturbation voltage's effect on the perturbation duration and amplitude. Perturbations were also applied that simulate the effect of random lattice errors that exist in an accelerator with quadrupole magnets that are misaligned or have variance in their field strength. The experimental results quantify the growth in the equivalent transverse beam emittance that occurs due to the applied noise and demonstrate that the random lattice errors interact with the trapped plasma through the plasma's internal collective modes. Coherent periodic perturbations were applied to simulate the effects of magnet errors in circular machines such as storage rings. The trapped one component plasma is strongly affected when the perturbation frequency is commensurate with a plasma mode frequency. The experimental results, which help to understand the physics of quiescent intense beam propagation over large distances, are compared with analytic models.

GLOBAL EXPLICIT PARTICLE-IN-CELL SIMULATIONS OF THE NONSTATIONARY BOW SHOCK AND MAGNETOSPHERE

We carry out two-dimensional global particle-in-cell simulations of the interaction between the solar wind and a dipole field to study the formation of the bow shock and magnetosphere. A self-reforming bow shock ahead of a dipole field is presented by using relatively high temporal-spatial resolutions. We find that (1) the bow shock and the magnetosphere are formed and reach a quasi-stable state after several ion cyclotron periods, and (2) under the B{sub z} southward solar wind condition, the bow shock undergoes a self-reformation for low β{sub i} and high M{sub A}. Simultaneously, a magnetic reconnection in the magnetotail is found. For high β{sub i} and low M{sub A}, the shock becomes quasi-stationary, and the magnetotail reconnection disappears. In addition, (3) the magnetopause deflects the magnetosheath plasmas. The sheath particles injected at the quasi-perpendicular region of the bow shock can be convected downstream of an oblique shock region. A fraction of these sheath particles can leak out from the magnetosheath at the wings of the bow shock. Hence, the downstream situation is more complicated than that for a planar shock produced in local simulations.

Electronic and vibronic properties of a discotic liquid-crystal and its charge transfer complex

Discotic liquid crystalline (DLC) charge transfer (CT) complexes combine visible light absorption and rapid charge transfer characteristics, being favorable properties for photovoltaic (PV) applications. We present a detailed study of the electronic and vibrational properties of the prototypic 1:1 mixture of discotic 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakishexyloxytriphenylene (HAT6) and 2,4,7-trinitro-9-fluorenone (TNF). It is shown that intermolecular charge transfer occurs in the ground state of the complex: a charge delocalization of about 10{sup −2} electron from the HAT6 core to TNF is deduced from both Raman and our previous NMR measurements [L. A. Haverkate, M. Zbiri, M. R. Johnson, B. Deme, H. J. M. de Groot, F. Lefeber, A. Kotlewski, S. J. Picken, F. M. Mulder, and G. J. Kearley, J. Phys. Chem. B 116, 13098 (2012)], implying the presence of permanent dipoles at the donor-acceptor interface. A combined analysis of density functional theory calculations, resonant Raman and UV-VIS absorption measurements indicate that fast relaxation occurs in the UV region due to intramolecular vibronic coupling of HAT6 quinoidal modes with lower lying electronic states. Relatively slower relaxation in the visible region the excited CT-band of the complex is also indicated, which likely involves motions of the TNF nitro groups. The fast quinoidal relaxation process in the hot UV band of HAT6 relates to pseudo-Jahn-Teller interactions in a single benzene unit, suggesting that the underlying vibronic coupling mechanism can be generic for polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Both the presence of ground state CT dipoles and relatively slow relaxation processes in the excited CT band can be relevant concerning the design of DLC based organic PV systems.

THE ACCRETING MILLISECOND X-RAY PULSAR IGR J00291+5934: EVIDENCE FOR A LONG TIMESCALE SPIN EVOLUTION

Accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars like IGR J00291+5934 are important because they can be used to test theories of pulsar formation and evolution. They give also the possibility of constraining gravitational wave emission theories and the equation of state of ultra-dense matter. Particularly crucial to our understanding is the measurement of the long-term spin evolution of the accreting neutron star. An open question is whether these accreting pulsars are spinning up during an outburst and spinning down in quiescence as predicted by the recycling scenario. Until now it has been very difficult to measure torques, due to the presence of fluctuations in the pulse phases that compromise their measurements with standard coherent timing techniques. By applying a new method, I am now able to measure a spin-up during an outburst and a spin-down during quiescence. I ascribe the spin-up ({nu}-dot{sub su}=5.1(3)x10{sup 13}Hz s{sup -1}) to accretion torques and the spin-down ({nu}-dot{sub sd}-3.08(8)Hz s{sup -1}) to magneto-dipole torques, as those observed in radio pulsars. Both values fit in the recycling scenario and I infer the existence of a magnetic field for the pulsar of B {approx_equal} 2 x 10{sup 8} G. No evidence for an enhanced spin-down due to gravitational wave emission is found. The accretion torques are smaller than previously reported, and there is strong evidence for an ordered process that is present in all outbursts that might be connected with a motion of the hot spot on the neutron star surface.

Borehole EM Monitoring at Aquistore: Final Report to the Carbon Capture Project (CCP)

Geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) is a technology whose goal is to prevent atmospheric release of greenhouse gases via injection of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into an underground reservoir for long term storage. GCS is typically part of a program of carbon capture and storage (CCS) that captures CO 2 from point sources such as power plants, transports the CO 2 to a storage site, and operates an injection facility. One recent CCS pilot project is the Aquistore CO 2 sequestration project, near Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada. The Aquistore project is managed by the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC) and will be one of the first integrated CCS projects storing CO 2 in a deep saline aquifer from a coal fired power plant (PTRC, 2011). Aquistore is expected to store 500,000 tons of CO 2 during its lifetime (Ministry of Environment, 2012). Assuring the long-term, safe storage of CO 2 requires the development of effective monitoring strategies. As part of the geophysical monitoring effort at Aquistore, there were initial plans for deployment of borehole electrodes for electrical or electromagnetic measurements to monitor CO 2 within the reservoir. The injected CO 2 displaces saline brine in the reservoir, and because CO 2 has a high resistivity compared to brine, the overall resistivity of the formation increases and can be monitored by measuring electric or magnetic fields. Previous work by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) had indicated that borehole-to-surface electromagnetic monitoring, using an electric dipole source near the bottom of a well penetrating the reservoir, could detect the resistivity change induced by GCS. To assess the potential application of electromagnetic monitoring at Aquistore, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Multi-Phase Technologies collaborated on a two-part study including (1) numerical forward modeling of a time-lapse, controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) monitoring survey, and (2) an initial engineering study of instrumentation and proposed design for a borehole electric dipole source and electrode sensors.

Cosmic-Ray Diffusion Coefficients throughout the Inner Heliosphere from a Global Solar Wind Simulation

We use a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the solar wind to calculate cosmic-ray diffusion coefficients throughout the inner heliosphere (2 R{sub ⊙}−3 au). The simulation resolves large-scale solar wind flow, which is coupled to small-scale fluctuations through a turbulence model. Simulation results specify background solar wind fields and turbulence parameters, which are used to compute diffusion coefficients and study their behavior in the inner heliosphere. The parallel mean free path (mfp) is evaluated using quasi-linear theory, while the perpendicular mfp is determined from nonlinear guiding center theory with the random ballistic interpretation. Several runs examine varying turbulent energy and different solar source dipole tilts. We find that for most of the inner heliosphere, the radial mfp is dominated by diffusion parallel to the mean magnetic field; the parallel mfp remains at least an order of magnitude larger than the perpendicular mfp, except in the heliospheric current sheet, where the perpendicular mfp may be a few times larger than the parallel mfp. In the ecliptic region, the perpendicular mfp may influence the radial mfp at heliocentric distances larger than 1.5 au; our estimations of the parallel mfp in the ecliptic region at 1 au agree well with the Palmer “consensus” range of 0.08–0.3 au. Solar activity increases perpendicular diffusion and reduces parallel diffusion. The parallel mfp mostly varies with rigidity (P) as P{sup .33}, and the perpendicular mfp is weakly dependent on P. The mfps are weakly influenced by the choice of long-wavelength power spectra.

Fractal Dimension Effect on the Magnetization Curves of Exchange-Coupled Clusters of Magnetic Nanoparticles

The effect of the fractal dimension of exchange-coupled clusters of magnetic nanoparticles on their magnetization curves is predicted by scaling estimates. These predictions form the basis for the experimental technique used for determining the fractal dimension of nanoparticle clusters from the magnetization curves. We estimate the reliability of determining the dimension by such methods with the help of micromagnetic simulation. It is shown that the effective dimension of magnetic correlation volumes, which is determined from analysis of the magnetization approaching saturation, is in conformity with the dimension of fractal clusters determined from analysis of their morphology. The dimension estimated from analysis of the coercive field on the particle size in a physically natural situation of the dipole–dipole interaction between nanoparticles provides estimates of the cluster dimension, which strongly differs from estimates obtained from analysis of their morphology.

Study of Quadrupole Fringe Fields in the Interaction Region of the Hadron Storage Ring of the Electron Ion Collider

Fringe fields in quadrupole magnets are usually neglected in studies of beam dynamics at accelerators. However, the extreme optical parameters present in the final focus of a collider such as the Electron–Ion Collider (EIC) may give rise to effects that should not be overlooked. The calculation of quadrupole fringe fields presented in this study follows the procedure outlined in Ref. [1], specialized to the case of a straight reference orbit (i.e., with no dipole field component). A right-handed Cartesian coordinate system is employed, with the $z$-axis aligned with the quadrupole axis and $x$ and $y$ denoting the horizontal and vertical transverse coordinates, respectively. The magnetic quadrupole field gradient, $G = \partial B_y / \partial x$, transitions from its peak value inside the quadrupole—where it is nearly independent of the longitudinal coordinate $z$—to zero at some distance beyond the magnet edge. Consequently, $G$ is treated as a function of $z$. The region over which this variation occurs is defined as the quadrupole fringe field region. The study begins with the development of a description of the magnetic field in the fringe region using a power-series expansion in the transverse coordinates $x$and $y$, consistent with the longitudinally varying gradient. A model for the $z$-dependence of the gradient is then proposed and adjusted to reproduce magnetic field data obtained from three-dimensional field calculations. To evaluate the impact of the fringe fields on beam dynamics, the corresponding vector potential is derived and incorporated into a Hamiltonian formulation of particle motion. The significance of the fringe fields is quantified by calculating the amplitude-dependent tune shift from the Hamiltonian. Using linear beam optics parameters of the Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) of the EIC, the tune shift due to the fringe fields of all quadrupole magnets in the IR-6 interaction region is evaluated. Finally, the resulting tune shifts are compared with those arising from other nonlinear field components present in the HSR.

Quench Detection for High-Temperature Superconductor Conductors Using Acoustic Thermometry

Detecting local heat-dissipating zones in high-temperature superconductor (HTS) magnets is a challenging task due to slow propagation of such zones in HTS conductors. For long conductor lengths, voltage-based methods may not provide a sufficient sensitivity or redundancy, and therefore nonvoltage-based detection alternatives are being sought. One of those is the recently proposed method of Eigen Frequency Thermometry (EFT), which is an active acoustic technique for a fast and nonintrusive detection of 'hot spots,' utilizing temperature dependence of the conductor elastic moduli. In this work, we demonstrate the efficiency of EFT for detecting localized heating in a 1.2-m-long sample of REBCO tape immersed in liquid nitrogen, and benchmark sensitivity of the acoustic detection with respect to voltage, hot spot temperature, and power dissipation in the conductor. Modifying the original technique for differential mode of operation enables a much improved sensitivity, and adds a hot spot localization capability. Furthermore, we adapt this technique to subscale coils wound with REBCO CORC conductor built in the framework of U.S. Magnet Development Program. A successful thermal-based detection of dissipation onset at the critical current for a two-layer canted CORC dipole assembly is discussed.
