Lattice calculation of short-range contributions to neutrinoless double-beta decay 𝜋 − → 𝜋 + ⁢𝑒⁢𝑒 at physical pion mass

Neutrinoless double-beta (0⁢𝜈⁢𝛽⁢𝛽) decays provide an excellent probe for determining whether neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana fermions. The short-range matrix elements associated with the 𝜋 − → 𝜋 + ⁢𝑒⁢𝑒 process contribute at leading order in the 0⁢𝜈⁢𝛽⁢𝛽 decay channel 𝑛⁢𝑛 → 𝑝⁢𝑝⁢𝑒⁢𝑒 through pion exchange between nucleons. However, current lattice calculations show notable discrepancies in predicting these short-range contributions. To address this issue, we perform a lattice QCD calculation of the 𝜋 − → 𝜋 + ⁢𝑒⁢𝑒 matrix elements using domain wall fermion ensembles at the physical pion mass generated by the RBC/UKQCD Collaboration. To mitigate contamination from around-the-world effects, we develop a new method to reconstruct and subtract them directly from lattice data. We then perform nonperturbative renormalization in the regularization-independent symmetric momentum-subtraction scheme (RI/SMOM), using the (𝛾 𝜇 , 𝛾 𝜇 ) and ($\not{𝑞}$, $\not{𝑞}$) projectors. Compared with previous studies, this work reduces the uncertainties in the matrix elements and provides an independent cross-check that helps to reconcile the discrepancies among previous lattice calculations.

Enhancing Short-Range Weather Forecasts through Temporal Variation Encoding: A Multiperiod Embedding Approach

Machine learning (ML) techniques have emerged as promising approaches to improve regional weather forecast accuracy and reliability through data-driven methods. We propose a novel ML-based weather forecasting model, the Multiperiod Embed Net (MPENet). A key distinguishing feature of MPENet is its explicit utilization of the inherent cyclic nature in weather dynamics, unlike the autoregressive strategies commonly used in other ML weather forecasting approaches. Critical cyclic structures are identified via Fourier analyses of dynamic time series. Cyclicity in the convolutional representation is achieved by transforming one-dimensional time series of meteorological variables into two-dimensional tensors based on identified periods. This approach enables the model to leverage intrinsic weather patterns, enhancing regional forecast performance. To demonstrate the effectiveness of MPENet, we conduct a comparative analysis with Nvidia’s FourCastNet. Both models are trained on High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) data from 2015 to 2022, over a 192 km × 192 km region in Tennessee. The comparisons are performed locally at two specific locations known to have different weather dynamics due to orographic effects: Crossville, on the relatively flat Cumberland Plateau with fewer topographic airflow disruptions, and Oak Ridge, in the ridge-and-valley region, where airflow is heavily influenced by surrounding valleys and mountains. Our results indicate that FourCastNet achieves strong accuracy at very short lead times, while MPENet maintains competitive skill and shows advantages in capturing temporal evolution over longer periods. Cross-correlation analyses of MPENet and FourCastNet predictions with the HRRR data suggest that encoding critical cyclicity into the network architecture leads to improvements in the forecasting skill.

A Universal Augmentation Framework for Long-Range Electrostatics in Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials

Most current machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) rely on short-range approximations, without explicit treatment of long-range electrostatics. To address this, we recently developed the Latent Ewald Summation (LES) method, which infers electrostatic interactions, polarization, and Born effective charges (BECs), just by learning from energy and force training data. Here, in this study, we present LES as a standalone library, compatible with any short-range MLIP, and demonstrate its integration with methods such as MACE, NequIP, Allegro, CACE, CHGNet, and UMA. We benchmark LES-enhanced models on distinct systems, including bulk water, polar dipeptides, and gold dimer adsorption on defective substrates, and show that LES not only captures correct electrostatics but also improves accuracy. Additionally, we scale LES to large and chemically diverse data by training MACELES-OFF on the SPICE set containing molecules and clusters, making a universal MLIP with electrostatics for organic systems, including biomolecules. MACELES-OFF is more accurate than its short-range counterpart (MACE-OFF) trained on the same data set, predicts dipoles and BECs reliably, and has better descriptions of bulk liquids. By enabling efficient long-range electrostatics without directly training on electrical properties, LES paves the way for electrostatic foundation MLIPs.

Multiscale study of helium diffusion in Ni-Cr alloys: Short-range trapping versus long-range channeling

Ni-Cr alloys are widely employed as structural materials in fast nuclear reactors but are vulnerable to high-temperature helium (He) embrittlement (HTHE) under fast neutron irradiation. A comprehensive understanding of He diffusion in Ni-Cr alloys, which governs the kinetics of HTHE, is therefore essential for developing resilient materials and preventing failure. In this work, we reveal the underlying mechanisms of He diffusion in pure Ni and Ni-Cr alloys by integrating density functional theory (DFT) with atomic kinetic Monte Carlo (AKMC) simulations. Our findings uncover a non-monotonic dependence of He diffusivity on Cr concentration, contradicting the monotonic trends predicted by DFT-parameterized theories. At low Cr concentrations, He diffusion is dominated by short-range trapping, characterized by multiple trapping sites and a distinct mechanism within the first nearest neighbor of Cr, differing from that in pure Ni. At high Cr concentrations, these local traps become interconnected, forming long-range fast diffusion channels that enhance He mobility. The competition between localized trapping and extended channeling results in a diffusivity that first decreases, then increases with rising Cr content. These atomic-scale insights offer critical guidance for the design of radiation-tolerant Ni-based alloys. Moreover, the combined DFT-AKMC methodology and the concept of random walker diffusion through interconnected energy basins present a broadly applicable framework for studying transport phenomena in disordered systems.

NNL.Fe.qSNAP-ZBL.2024.1: A Fe Spectral Neighbor Analysis Potential for Radiation Damage Simulations

The NNL.Fe.qSNAP-ZBL.2024.1 machine-learned potential (MLP) has been generated to support the development of an elemental body-centered cubic (BCC) Fe athermal recombination corrected neutron damage model and simulations of primary recoil atom (PRA) cascades in BCC Fe. This MLP is a quadratic spectral neighbor analysis potential (qSNAP) hybridized with the universal Ziegler-Beirsack-Littmark (ZBL) potential at short-range and is named according to Naval Nuclear Laboratory MLP naming conventions (NNL.material-system.MLP-type.year.version). Training set calculations for Fe are presented along with the subsequent MLP fitting procedure. A key criterion of the fitting procedure is that ZBL describes the short-range interaction with minimal impact on the MLP. The MLP is compared to density functional theory (DFT) predicted properties relevant to radiation damage simulation, including threshold displacement energies, for validation. The NNL.Fe.qSNAP-ZBL.2024.1 potential is considered suitable for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of radiation defects up to 800 K and PRA cascades in BCC Fe up to around 10 keV. The potential can additionally be used on a limited basis for recoils of 10–20 keV, within which range the emergence of structures outside the training set in cascade simulations may cause system instabilities.

Nuclear shell structure governs short-range nucleon pairing

Atomic nuclei are intricate quantum systems in which nucleons (protons and neutrons) are held together by the strong nuclear force. At very short distances, nucleons can momentarily form high-momentum pairs—known as short-range-correlated pairs—that shape the high-momentum structure of nuclear matter. Studying how nucleons form short-range-correlated pairs provides a rare experimental window into the short-distance behaviour of the strong interaction. Here, in this study, we use the scattering of high-energy electrons from 40 Ca, 48 Ca and 54 Fe, chosen for their distinct shell structures, to probe the formation of short-range-correlated pairs. Unexpectedly, we find that short-range-correlated pairing depends far more on the specific quantum orbitals occupied by protons and neutrons than on the nuclear mass or neutron–proton imbalance. This dependence is much stronger than that predicted by theoretical models. Our results point to a need for new angular-momentum quantum selection rules governing short-range nucleon pairing and reveal a deep connection between long-range nuclear shell structure and short-range interactions.

Structural coherence model for predicting molten salt thermal conductivity informed by the pair distribution function

To enable thermal behavior prediction and design optimization of molten salt reactors, thermal conductivity of molten salts must be characterized in terms of salt composition and temperature. Current theoretical models fail to provide consistent approximations for all halide mixtures, particularly actinide-bearing melts. This study aims to link the short-range order structure of molten salts to the mean free path of energy carriers through a simple structural coherence model informed by the partial pair distribution function. The proposed method is used to predict the thermal conductivity of 33 alkali and alkaline earth halide salts. Predictions approximate experimental measurements with a mean absolute error of 15.7% for dissociating, complexing, and actinide salts, including unary LiCl, NaCl, and MgCl 2 as well as mixtures LiF–NaF–KF (FLiNaK), LiF–BeF 2 (FLiBe), and NaCl–UCl 3 . The work provides evidence for the validity of energy carrier descriptions of molecular-level heat transfer in molten salts, with implications for improved theories of liquid energy transport in general.

Development and transferability of neural-network models for plasma-surface interactions

Plasma-surface interactions are increasingly critical to modern technologies; yet, accurate molecular dynamics simulations remain limited by the capabilities of interatomic potentials. Deep Potentials (DPs) promise to revolutionize the field by providing a systematic method for producing accurate interatomic potentials. The primary challenge of DP development is selecting a dataset, which efficiently spans the set of atomic environments one expects to encounter in the subsequent molecular dynamics simulations. The computational cost of density functional theory calculations, which are the typical basis for DP development, makes it impossible to directly verify the quality of a given DP. To address this challenge, we explore the development of a deep-learned interatomic potential, “DeepREBO,” trained to reproduce the behavior of the REBO2 empirical potential, enabling direct validation of training methodology and transferability. Using an active learning framework, we begin with a minimal dataset and iteratively expand it to train a Deep Potential-Smooth Edition model that faithfully reproduces REBO2 results for 25 eV hydrogen bombardment of diamond (001), a particularly challenging case. We show that small, carefully curated datasets can outperform large, unguided ones, with effective models requiring fewer than 15 000 snapshots. Subsequent transferability tests demonstrate that while DeepREBO generalizes well to diamond (111) surfaces, performance degrades for amorphous carbon or higher-energy impacts, highlighting the need for use-case-specific training data. We also evaluate methods to improve short-range repulsion. This study outlines best practices for training robust deep potentials and underscores the importance of dataset design for predictive plasma simulations.

Zentropy Theory for Transformative Functionalities of Magnetic and Superconducting Materials

The proposed research developed the zentropy theory through applications to complex magnetic materials and superconductors under the hypothesis that the emergent properties of complex magnetic materials and superconductors can be predicted by statistical mechanics of ergodic microstates with their partition functions computed from DFT-predicted free energies. The key objective is to develop approaches to systematically determine the types and number of microstates and the supercell size in DFT-based calculations through convergency of macroscopic functionalities, with the incorporation of our mixed-space approach accounting for the interactions between periodic supercells. In addition to use scientific intuitions to guide the design of important microstates, the key innovation of the proposed research is to integrate the domain knowledge and the material-property-descriptor database (MPDD) with 4 million microstates, which is supported by our deep neural network machine learning models (SIPFENN: structure-informed prediction of formation energy using neural networks) and integrated with our high throughput DFT Tool Kit (DFTTK). For complex magnetic materials, one of the objectives is to develop approaches to calculate short-range ordering from the statistical distribution of each microstate. For superconductors, the divergency of quasiparticle effective mass at a quantum critical point will be investigated, and the superconducting and non-superconducting microstates will be delineated through analysis of electronic band structure, density of states, charge density, and Fermi surface.

Phase stability in the Hf-N and Zr-N systems

Hf and Zr nitrides are promising compounds for many technologically important areas, including high-temperature structural applications, quantum computing, and solar and optical applications. Here, this article reports on a comprehensive first-principles statistical mechanics study of phase stability in the Hf-N and Zr-N binary systems. A high solubility of nitrogen in the hcp forms of Hf and Zr is predicted. The rocksalt forms of HfN and ZrN can also tolerate a high degree of off-stoichiometry through the introduction of nitrogen and metal vacancies. The Hf-N binary favors a family of stacking faulted parent crystal structures at intermediate nitrogen concentrations that host a unique form of short-range order among nitrogen interstitials and vacancies. These phases can accommodate some degree of configurational entropy and remain ordered to temperatures as high as 1200 K.

Measurement of the azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles in sNN=5.36TeV O16+O16 and Ne20+Ne20 collisions with the ATLAS detector

This paper presents the first measurements of the azimuthal anisotropy coefficients , which quantify the -order Fourier modulation of charged-particle azimuthal distributions, for in and collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2025. The coefficients are measured as a function of transverse momentum ( ), collision centrality, and event multiplicity. They are extracted using two complementary methods: two-particle correlations with a template-fit subtraction of short-range nonflow contributions, and four-particle subevent cumulants, which intrinsically suppress nonflow effects and provide sensitivity to flow fluctuations. The results show a clear hierarchy and a nonmonotonic dependence on , reaching a maximum around , consistent with trends observed in heavy-ion collisions. Detailed comparisons between the two collision systems reveal an enhanced in central collisions, consistent with theory expectations based on the predicted prolate deformation of neon nuclei, in contrast to the slightly tetrahedral structure predicted for oxygen. The four-particle cumulant results highlight strong event-by-event fluctuations and provide the greatest sensitivity to nuclear shape effects. These measurements can place new constraints on the initial geometry and the hydrodynamic response in light-ion collisions, offering valuable input for models of nuclear structure.

Pseudo-equilibrium theory for extrinsic doping control of the topological semimetal Cd 3 As 2

The standard approach for predicting defect equilibria from first principles assumes that the solid-state system is initially in a thermodynamic equilibrium with the external atomic reservoirs. This “growth step” is then often followed by a temperature quench in a “pseudo-equilibrium” in which some or all defect concentrations are frozen in until only the Fermi level E F remains to be equilibrated. However, this protocol does not account for the possibility of site exchanges which can create important defect redistributions as long as short-range defect migration is kinetically permissible. To model this redistribution, we developed an approach to solve for the non-equilibrium chemical potentials as a function of temperature while maintaining the overall defect stoichiometry. We then apply this approach to the Dirac semimetal Cd 3 As 2 to model extrinsic doping with group 1/11 and 14 elements. Undoped Cd 3 As 2 exhibits an undesirable mismatch between E F and the Dirac point. This unintentional electron doping originates from intrinsic defects and is difficult to overcome through adjustment of synthesis conditions alone. Employing our pseudo-equilibrium modeling, we identify extrinsic doping strategies for realizing doping-balanced Cd 3 As 2 at the relatively low temperatures accessible in thin-film growth of this material.

Measuring short-range correlations and quasi-elastic cross sections in A(e,e’) at x > 1 and modest Q 2

We present results from the Jefferson Lab E08-014 experiment, investigating short-range correlations (SRC) through measurements of inclusive quasi-elastic scattering from 2 H, 3 He, 4 He, 12 C, 40 Ca, and 48 Ca. The kinematics were selected to isolate scattering from SRCs, yielding a plateau in the A/ 2 H cross-section ratios due to the universal two-body structure of the 2N-SRCs in light and heavy nuclei. We observe approximate plateaus in the A/ 2 H ratios and provide the first extractions of the A/ 2 H ratio for 40 Ca and 48 Ca. We also examine the A/ 3 He ratio, aiming to identify three-nucleon SRCs (3N-SRCs). Following the approach for isolating 2N-SRCs, searching for 3N-SRC dominance involved measuring the A/ 3 He cross section ratio at modest-to-large Q 2 values and looking for a plateau ratios for x ≳ 2.5. This was not observed in the data, and in fact increasing Q 2 values moved the data further away from the predicted plateau. We show here that, when analyzed in terms of the struck nucleon’s light-cone momentum, the data exhibited the expected trend, progressively approaching the predicted 3N-SRC plateau. These observations suggest that future measurements at higher energies may facilitate a definitive isolation and identification of 3N-SRCs.

High-throughput small-angle X-ray scattering reveals effective structure factor transitions linked to high-concentration antibody viscosity

High-concentration monoclonal antibody (mAb) formulations are often constrained by elevated viscosity, largely driven by protein–protein interactions, which complicates manufacturing and limits subcutaneous delivery. Early viscosity risk assessment is essential during discovery, yet traditional measurements require large sample volumes, and lack high-throughput capability. Here, we develop a high-throughput small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) protocol to detect mAb self-association at dilute concentrations, enabling early predictive insights into high-concentration viscosity. Synchrotron SAXS measurements were conducted for 21 mAbs formulated in a histidine buffer at pH 6.0. An initial subset of 10 mAbs analyzed across 1–150 mg/mL revealed that effective structure factor transitions in the low-q region, indicative of interparticle interactions, consistently emerged below 25 mg/mL. Subsequently, 11 additional mAbs were analyzed at 1–25 mg/mL using automated liquid handling and flow cells to enable high-throughput screening. High-viscosity mAbs exhibited detectable low-q upturns at concentrations ≤10 mg/mL, whereas low-viscosity mAbs showed downturns. A classification criterion based on effective structure factor transitions accurately classified all high- and low-viscosity mAbs at 150 mg/mL, offering a scalable, sample-efficient alternative to conventional methods. These results extend recent findings on the concentration-dependent sensitivity of SAXS to short-range attractions, demonstrating that they can emerge at lower concentrations than previously reported. This study presents the most comprehensive and diverse SAXS dataset for mAbs reported to date within a single formulation, providing a valuable resource for developing and validating coarse-grained models that can more accurately capture intermolecular interactions governing high-concentration solution behavior, thereby enabling rational antibody engineering and improved developability.

Grain Boundary Segregation Suppresses Local Short‐Range Ordering in Nanocrystalline High‐Entropy Alloys

Multi-principal-element alloys like high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have potential applications in many engineering fields due to their unique mechanical/functional properties. While HEAs are generally considered random solid solutions, recent studies revealed that they are prone to short-range-ordering (SRO) due to the complex multi-pair-wise interactions among the constituent elements. Meanwhile, SROs' evolution can sometimes be deleterious, and it is necessary to have control over their evolution. Examining the AlCoCrFe-Zr model alloy, long-range ordering occurs following the expectation of enthalpic predictions. Advanced characterization techniques—transmission electron microscopy, high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction/pair distribution function, and atom probe tomography, reveal that SRO is suppressed in as-milled and GB-decorated NC-(AlCoCrFe)100-xZrx (x = 0–1.5 atomic %). Warren-Cowley coefficient calculations are further used to validate the suppression of SRO. Besides the low segregation enthalpies of Cr, Fe, and Zr, and the high-mixing enthalpy of Cr and Fe, the short diffusion path to GBs due to high-GB density in the NC-HEAs and the higher energy state of the GBs than the matrix promotes GB-segregation that further alters the matrix chemistry and consequently disfavors SRO formation within the matrix. Despite the GB-segregation of Cr, Fe, and Zr, the matrices and GBs remain in a random solid solution.

Substrate-Directed Dimensional and Phase Control of Peptide Assemblies on Two-Dimensional van der Waals Materials

Understanding and controlling biomolecular self-assembly on van der Waals (vdW) materials has the potential to advance hybrid bioelectronic devices by enabling precise tuning of the interface and modulation of the resulting electronic properties of the biomolecule-vdW heterostructure. However, how surface properties of vdW materials direct biomolecule assembly remains poorly understood. To fill this knowledge gap, we investigated the assembly of a peptide known to assemble into two-dimensional (2D) crystalline films on MoS 2 on three representative vdW surfaces: WS 2 , MoS 2 , and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Using in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM), we find that assembly is substrate-dependent, resulting in multilayers on WS 2 , monolayers on MoS 2 , and multiple coexisting phases on HOPG. WS 2 exhibits a higher negative charge, strong long-range electrostatic interactions, and extensive hydration layering that may promote multilayer stacking. In contrast, MoS 2 has stronger short-range interactions with the peptides but much weaker long-range interactions and hydration structure, which may favor monolayer formation. Molecular dynamics simulations predict a corresponding switch from monolayer to multilayer aggregates of the adsorbed monomers, reflected in their relative mobilities. On hydrophobic HOPG, the peptides bind most strongly and remain as monomers with high surface mobility. The peptide dimers comprising the basic unit of the crystals are more compact on HOPG, which has a smaller lattice constant than WS 2 or MoS 2 , suggesting strain contributes to stabilizing multiple phases. Our results provide mechanistic insights into how surface charge and hydration structure, and the lattice structure of the substrates governs peptide assembly on vdW materials, offering a framework to rationally control the 2D peptide-vdW heterostructures.

Neural network potentials with effective charge separation for non-equilibrium dynamics of ionic solids: a ZnO case study

Developing neural network potentials (NNPs) accurate under non-equilibrium dynamics is challenging, as such systems require extensive sampling beyond equilibrium phases. Here we construct high-fidelity NNPs for zinc oxide (ZnO), a polymorphic ionic solid, using density functional theory (DFT) reference data. To efficiently capture transitional configurations, we combine enhanced-sampling molecular dynamics with empirical potentials, data distillation, and pretraining on short-range atomic energies (A-Train), followed by transfer learning with DFT-relabeled datasets. This hierarchical approach improves transferability across polymorphs and stress states. We further introduce effective charge separation, treating long-range Coulombic terms analytically while short-range residual interactions are learned by the NNP. The optimal effective charges fall in the range 0.5–1.0 q e , consistent with dielectric-screened values derived from formal charges but distinct from Bader estimates. Motivated by this observation, we propose a simple data-driven protocol in which effective charges are optimized by comparing DFT reference energies with explicit Coulomb calculations, without additional NNP training. This strategy improves accuracy and transferability in DFT-level predictions of energies, forces, and stress. Together, these results provide a practical charge-selection framework for robust NNP development in ionic solids, enabling reliable simulation of polymorphic phase transformations and non-equilibrium dynamics.

Revealing short- and long-range Li-ion diffusion in Li 2 MnO 3 from finite-temperature dynamical mean field theory

Li 2 MnO 3 is a key component of Li-excess layered cathodes of the form (1 − x), LiMO 2 + x, Li 2 MnO 3 (M = Mn, Ni, Co, …), yet its role in setting Li-ion transport limitations remains under debate. Here, in this study, we combine DFT+U, finite-temperature DFT+DMFT with a continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo impurity solver, and nudged-elastic-band (NEB) calculations to study Li + migration in paramagnetic Li 2 MnO 3 in the presence of a single Li vacancy. Evaluating DMFT total energies along the DFT+U NEB geometries reveals that dynamical correlations strongly renormalize the lowest-barrier processes, reducing the activation energies to E a = 0.18 eV for the shortest-range hop and E a = 0.50 eV for the next-lowest (transport-controlling) step. The 0.18 eV barrier quantitatively reproduces the short-range activation energy from µ+SR, while the 0.50 eV barrier is consistent with the long-range transport scale extracted from ac-impedance measurements. This single-vacancy, paramagnetic DMFT description thus provides a unified interpretation of local and macroscopic probes without invoking clustered vacancy configurations or strong extrinsic disorder, consistent with nearly stoichiometric Li 2 MnO 3 powders. More broadly, our results highlight finite-temperature dynamical correlations as an essential ingredient for predicting ionic migration energetics in correlated oxide electrodes.
