The field of view (FOV) of the microscopy system, however, is usually limited by the detector size. For example, a typical CCD camera used for data acquisition is of size 2048 by 2048. In many cases this CCD camera is not large enough to provide complete information required for accurate reconstruction, and the local tomography problem hereby arises. On the other hand, the huge dataset generated by tomographic microscopy asks for a highly efficient solution with no a priori information necessary. A new padding scheme is therefore proposed for the local tomography issue. It first pads the projection data using the boundary value inside the FOV, which is specified by the detector size, followed by a zero-value padding to 1.5 times the FOV length. The boundary-value padding removes the energy deposition and cupping artifact in reconstruction results from local tomography, while the zero-value padding reduces the drift of the intensity values caused by fully boundary padding. The combination of two padding schemes keeps advantages of fully zero-value padding and fully boundary-value padding, while avoiding their disadvantages. Quantitative analysis using synthetic data shows that the proposed method outperforms fully zero-value padding and fully boundary-value padding in terms of accuracy and ease for post processing. Experimental results for real data are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A comparison of the local electronic structure around the Ce site with that around the Fe site indicates that the Fe substitutes for the Ce. The oxygen K-edge spectra that originated from the hybridization between cerium 4f and oxygen 2p states are sensitive to the oxidation state and depend strongly on the concentration of Fe doping. The Ce M-4,M-5-edges and the Fe L-2,L-3-edges reveal the variations of the charge states of Ce and Fe upon doping, respectively. The band gap is further obtained from the combined absorption-emission spectrum and decreased upon Fe doping, implying Fe doping introduces vacancies. The oxygen vacancies are induced by Fe doping and the spectrum reveals the charge transfer between Fe and Ce. Fe3+ doping has two major effects on the formation of ferromagnetism in CeO2 nanoparticles. The first, at an Fe content of below 5%, is that the formation of Fe3+-Vo-Ce3+ introduces oxygen deficiencies favoring ferromagnetism. The other, at an Fe content of over 5%, is the formation of Fe3+-Vo-Fe3+, which favors antiferromagnetism, reducing the Ms. The defect structures Fe3+-Vo-Ce3+ and Fe3+-Vo-Fe3+ are crucial to the magnetism in these NPs and the change in Ms can be described as the effect of competitive interactions of magnetic polarons and paired ions.

Here, structural changes of iron oxide (FeOx) nanostructures supported on Pt in a gaseous environment were examined by scanning tunneling microscopy, ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy using both model systems and real catalysts. O-Fe (FeO) bilayer nanostructures can be stabilized on Pt surfaces in reductive environments such as vacuum conditions and H-2-rich reaction gas, which are highly active for low temperature CO oxidation. In contrast, exposure to H-2-free oxidative gases produces a less active O-Fe-O (FeO2) trilayer structure. Reversible transformation between the FeO bilayer and FeO2 trilayer structures can be achieved under alternating reduction and oxidation conditions, leading to oscillation in the catalytic oxidation performance.

The 1D-WO3 nanorods were prepared by the decomposition of the tetrabutylammonium decatungstate precursor in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) as a binding agent. The porous BiVO4 layers were spray deposited using a surfactant assisted metal-organic decomposition method. The Co-Pi oxygen evolution catalyst was deposited onto the BiVO4/1D-WO3/FTO heterojunction electrode using a photoassisted electrodeposition method. The Co-Pi catalyst modified heterojunction electrodes exhibited a sustained enhancement in the photocurrent compared to the unmodified BiVO4/1D-WO3/FTO heterojunction electrodes. The improved photoelectrochemical properties profited from the enhanced charge carrier separation achieved through the integration of highly porous BiVO4 layers on top of 1D-WO3 nanorods and from the superior kinetics due to the presence of the Co-Pi oxygen evolution catalyst on top of BiVO4/1D-WO3/FTO heterojunction electrodes.

LAM assumes separate mathematical systems as structures at each space time point. Extension of gauge theories to include freedom of choice of scaling for number structures, and other structures based on numbers, results in a space time dependent scaling factor based on a scalar boson field. Scaling has no effect on comparison of experimental results with one another or with theory computations. With LAM all theory expressions are elements of mathematics at some reference point. Changing the reference point introduces (external) scaling. Theory expressions with integrals or derivatives over space or time include scaling factors (internal scaling) that cannot be removed by reference point change. Line elements and path lengths, as integrals over space and/or time, show the effect of scaling on geometry. In one example, the scaling factor goes to 0 as the time goes to 0, the big bang time. All path lengths, and values of physical quantities, are crushed to 0 as t goes to 0. Other examples have spherically symmetric scaling factors about some point, x. In one type, a black scaling hole, the scaling factor goes to infinity as the distance, d, between any point y and x goes to 0. For scaling white holes, the scaling factor goes to 0 as d goes to 0. For black scaling holes, path lengths from a reference point, z, to y become infinite as y approaches x. For white holes, path lengths approach a value much less than the unscaled distance from z to x. C1 Argonne Natl Lab, Div Phys, Argonne, IL 60439 USA.

While IRG technology is in its infancy, the use of generator-derived radioisotopes is expected to have broad potential impact on industrial radiotracer investigations. The optimal combination of suitable IRGs and appropriate radiotracer agents will form the basis of such industrial radiotracer investigations. Development of IRGs customized for specific applications is currently under development and the utility of such systems is expected to pave the way for a variety of industry related applications in the areas of residence time distribution (RTD) study, flow rate measurement, leak detection, etc. In this review, we discuss the principles of radionuclide generators, assess major parent/daughter pairs of interest for IRG, and identify the expected utility of potentially useful IRGs. Availability of the parent radionuclides required for IRG fabrication is an important criterion and hence their production is also reviewed. This overview outlines a critical assessment of recent developments, the contemporary status, and key challenges and apertures to the near future. Increase in the knowledge and use of IRGs utilizing available resources will encourage expanded use of these systems for expected future industrial radiotracer studies. C1 [Dash, Ashutosh; Pillai, M.

Recent advances in the sequence control of traditional copolymers, such as polyethylenes and polystyrenes, have led to well controlled primary structures ranging from periodic to more precise sequences. As a result, this unprecedented control in the chemical structure of the polymer has necessitated a reexamination of the role of monomer sequence on polymer properties, such as crystallization and self-assembly. In this review, we summarize the developments in establishing a relationship between a polymer's sequence and its properties, and we focus on one sequence-specific polymer system in particular: N-substituted glycines, or polypeptoids. Polypeptoid self-assembly has demonstrated remarkably tunable, hierarchical structures, and through this lens, we look to the future "designability" of sequence-specific polymers in general.

TI Discovering crystals using shape matching and machine learning SO SOFT MATTER LA English DT Article ID BINARY NANOPARTICLE SUPERLATTICES; PARTICLES; ORDER; CRYSTALLIZATION; STATISTICS; HISTOGRAMS; NUCLEATION; DISTANCE; LATTICE; DESIGN AB As the rate at which data can be amassed through computational simulation or experimental techniques accelerates, the pace of discovery becomes limited by the rate at which data can be analyzed. In this paper, a method is introduced by which new types of crystalline structures can be automatically identified from large data sets of coordinates. By deploying a hierarchy of pattern analysis techniques using shape matching and machine learning algorithms, local structures are extracted, classified, and then used to partition a data set into groups of common crystals. This method requires no a priori knowledge of what might be present in the data set. The method is applied to two data sets that contain both simple and complex crystals, including quasicrystals. We show how phase diagrams can be automatically generated and identify a crystal phase missed in prior analyses. By integrating shape matching and machine learning techniques to analyze rapidly produced databases, the discovery of new crystal structures and materials can be accelerated. This method is especially applicable to soft matter systems, where particle interactions can be exquisitely tuned and designed to drive the self-assembly of mesoscale materials with exotic structures.

The bacterium thrives as an endosymbiont of pyrrhocorid bugs, i.e. the red fire bug Pyrrhocoris apterus L. The rationale for sequencing the genome of strain PW2(T) is its endosymbiotic life style which is rare among members of Actinobacteria. Here we describe the features of this symbiont, together with the complete genome sequence and its annotation. This is the first complete genome sequence of a member of the genus Coriobacterium and the sixth member of the order Coriobacteriales for which complete genome sequences are now available. The 2,115,681 bp long single replicon genome with its 1,804 protein-coding and 54 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.

TI Genome analysis of Desulfotomaculum kuznetsovii strain 17(T) reveals a physiological similarity with Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum strain SIT SO STANDARDS IN GENOMIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE Thermophilic spore-forming anaerobes; sulfate reduction; autotrophic; methylotrophic; Peptococcaceae; Clostridiales ID SULFATE-REDUCING BACTERIA; CLOSTRIDIUM-THERMOACETICUM; CARBON-MONOXIDE; GEN. NOV.; SEQUENCE; PREDICTION; BIOSYNTHESIS; OXIDATION; METHANOL; ENZYMES AB Desulfotomaculum kuznetsovii is a moderately thermophilic member of the polyphyletic spore-forming genus Desulfotomaculum in the family Peptococcaceae. This species is of interest because it originates from deep subsurface thermal mineral water at a depth of about 3,000 m. D. kuznetsovii is a rather versatile bacterium as it can grow with a large variety of organic substrates, including short-chain and long-chain fatty acids, which are degraded completely to carbon dioxide coupled to the reduction of sulfate. It can grow methylotrophically with methanol and sulfate and autotrophically with H-2 + CO2 and sulfate. For growth it does not require any vitamins. Here, we describe the features of D. kuznetsovii together with the genome sequence and annotation. The chromosome has 3,601,386 bp organized in one contig. A total of 3,567 candidate protein-encoding genes and 58 RNA genes were identified. Genes of the acetyl-CoA pathway, possibly involved in heterotrophic growth with acetate and methanol, and in CO2 fixation during autotrophic growth are present. Genomic comparison revealed that D. kuznetsovii shows a high similarity with Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum. Genes involved in propionate metabolism of these two strains show a strong similarity. However, main differences are found in genes involved in the electron acceptor metabolism. C1 [Visser, Michael; Worm, Petra; Plugge, Caroline M.; Stams, Alfons J.

The type strain, H1(T), was isolated in 1990 from cyanobacterial mat samples collected at a freshwater hot spring in Oregon, USA, and is of interest because it enhances the degradation of cellulose when grown in co-culture with Clostridium thermocellum. Here we provide a taxonomic re-evaluation for S. caldaria based on phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA sequences and whole genomes, and propose the reclassification of S. caldaria and two other Spirochaeta species as members of the emended genus Treponema. Whereas genera such as Borrelia and Sphaerochaeta possess well-distinguished genomic features related to their divergent lifestyles, the physiological and functional genomic characteristics of Spirochaeta and Treponema appear to be intermixed and are of little taxonomic value. The 3,239,340 bp long genome of strain H1(T) with its 2,869 protein-coding and 59 RNA genes is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.

TI Metagenomes of tropical soil-derived anaerobic switchgrass-adapted consortia with and without iron SO STANDARDS IN GENOMIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE Anaerobic decomposition; switchgrass; Panicum virgatum; tropical forest soil; feedstock-adapted consortia; bacteria; archaea; metagenomics ID MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES; GENOME SEQUENCE; REDUCTION; DATABASE; MICROORGANISMS; IDENTIFICATION; ENVIRONMENTS; RECOGNITION; STRATEGIES; PATTERNS AB Tropical forest soils decompose litter rapidly with frequent episodes of anoxia, making it likely that bacteria using alternate terminal electron acceptors (TEAs) such as iron play a large role in supporting decomposition under these conditions. The prevalence of many types of metabolism in litter deconstruction makes these soils useful templates for improving biofuel production. To investigate how iron availability affects decomposition, we cultivated feedstock-adapted consortia (FACs) derived from iron-rich tropical forest soils accustomed to experiencing frequent episodes of anaerobic conditions and frequently fluctuating redox. One consortium was propagated under fermenting conditions, with switchgrass as the sole carbon source in minimal media (SG only FACs), and the other consortium was treated the same way but received poorly crystalline iron as an additional terminal electron acceptor (SG + Fe FACs). We sequenced the metagenomes of both consortia to a depth of about 150 Mb each, resulting in a coverage of 26x for the more diverse SG + Fe FACs, and 81 x for the relatively less diverse SG only FACs. Both consortia were able to quickly grow on switchgrass, and the iron-amended consortium exhibited significantly higher microbial diversity than the unamended consortium. We found evidence of higher stress in the unamended FACs and increased sugar transport and utilization in the iron-amended FACs. This work provides metagenomic evidence that supplementation of alternative TEAs may improve feedstock deconstruction in biofuel production.

Comparison of the T. thermophilus JL-18 chromosome with those from other strains of T. thermophilus revealed a high degree of synteny, whereas the megaplasmids from the same strains were highly plastic. The T. oshimai JL-2 chromosome and megaplasmids shared little or no synteny with other sequenced Thermus strains. Phylogenomic analyses using a concatenated set of conserved proteins confirmed the phylogenetic and taxonomic assignments based on 16S rRNA phylogenetics. Both chromosomes encode a complete glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and pentose phosphate pathway plus glucosidases, glycosidases, proteases, and peptidases, highlighting highly versatile heterotrophic capabilities. Megaplasmids of both strains contained a gene cluster encoding enzymes predicted to catalyze the sequential reduction of nitrate to nitrous oxide; however, the nitrous oxide reductase required for the terminal step in denitrification was absent, consistent with their incomplete denitrification phenotypes. A sox gene cluster was identified in both chromosomes, suggesting a mode of chemolithotrophy. In addition, nrf and psr gene clusters in T. oshmai JL-2 suggest respiratory nitrite ammonification and polysulfide reduction as possible modes of anaerobic respiration.

This is often problematic because decoherence and noise may spoil the desired final state, or because some applications require many repetitions. "Shortcuts to adiabaticity" are alternative fast processes which reproduce the same final populations, or even the same final state, as the adiabatic process in a finite, shorter time. Since adiabatic processes are ubiquitous, the shortcuts span a broad range of applications in atomic, molecular, and optical physics, such as fast transport of ions or neutral atoms, internal population control, and state preparation (for nuclear magnetic resonance or quantum information), cold atom expansions and other manipulations, cooling cycles, wavepacket splitting, and many-body state engineering or correlations microscopy. Shortcuts are also relevant to clarify fundamental questions such as a precise quantification of the third principle of thermodynamics and quantum speed limits. We review different theoretical techniques proposed to engineer the shortcuts, the experimental results, and the prospects.

Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) offer the possibility to scale up to many qubit systems by enabling the manipulation of light to collect signal or deliver a tailored spatial trapping pattern. DOEs have an advantage over refractive micro-optics since they do not have measurable surface sag, making significantly larger numerical apertures (NA) accessible with a smaller optical component. The smaller physical size of a DOE allows the micro-lenses to be placed in vacuum with the atoms, reducing aberration effects that would otherwise be introduced by the cell walls of the vacuum chamber. The larger collection angle accessible with DOEs enable faster quantum computation speeds. We have designed a set of DOEs for collecting the 852 nm fluorescence from the D2 transition in trapped cesium atoms, and compare these DOEs to several commercially available refractive micro-lenses. The largest DOE is able to collect over 20% of the atom's radiating sphere whereas the refractive micro-optic is able to collect just 8% of the atom's radiating sphere. C1 [Young, A. L.; Kemme, S.

TI Climate response due to carbonaceous aerosols and aerosol-induced SST effects in NCAR community atmospheric model CAM3.5 SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID CIRCULATION; MONSOON; SATELLITE; IMPACTS; CLOUDS; CYCLE AB This study used the Community Atmospheric Model 3.5 (CAM3.5) to investigate the effects of carbonaceous aerosols on climate. The simulations include control runs with 3 times the mass of carbonaceous aerosols as compared to the model's default carbonaceous aerosol mass, as well as no-carbon runs in which carbonaceous aerosols were removed. The slab ocean model (SOM) and the fixed sea surface temperature (SST) were used to examine effects of ocean boundary conditions. Throughout this study, climate response induced by aerosol forcing was mainly analyzed in the following three terms: (1) aerosol radiative effects under fixed SST, (2) effects of aerosol-induced SST feedbacks, and (3) total effects including effects of aerosol forcing and SST feedbacks. The change of SST induced by aerosols has large impacts on distribution of climate response; the magnitudes in response patterns such as temperature, precipitation, zonal winds, mean meridional circulation, radiative fluxes, and cloud coverage are different between the SOM and fixed SST runs. Moreover, different spatial responses between the SOM and fixed SST runs can also be seen in some local areas. This implies the importance of SST feedbacks on simulated climate response. The aerosol dimming effects cause a cooling predicted at low layers near the surface in most carbonaceous aerosol source regions. The temperature response shows a warming (cooling) predicted in the north (south) high latitudes, suggesting that aerosol forcing can cause climate change in regions far away from its origins. Our simulation results show that direct and semidirect radiative forcing due to carbonaceous aerosols decreases rainfall in the tropics. This implies that carbonaceous aerosols have possibly strong influence on weakening of the tropical circulation. Most changes in precipitation are negatively correlated with changes of radiative fluxes at the top of model. The changes in radiative fluxes at top of model are physically consistent with the response patterns in cloud fields. On global average, low-level cloud coverage increases, and mid-and high-level cloud coverage decreases in response to changes in radiative energy induced by aerosol forcing. An approximated moisture budget equation was analyzed in order to understand physical mechanism of precipitation changes induced by carbonaceous aerosols. Our results show that changes in tropical precipitation are mainly dominated are mainly dominated by the dynamic effect (i.e., vertical moisture transport carried by the perturbed flow).

TI Seasonal changes in Fe species and soluble Fe concentration in the atmosphere in the Northwest Pacific region based on the analysis of aerosols collected in Tsukuba, Japan SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID IRON SOLUBILITY; CHEMICAL-CHARACTERIZATION; ANTHROPOGENIC SOURCES; STABILITY-CONSTANTS; FINE PARTICLES; MINERAL DUST; SPECIATION; TRANSPORT; OCEAN; SPECTROSCOPY AB Atmospheric iron (Fe) can be a significant source of nutrition for phytoplankton inhabiting remote oceans, which in turn has a large influence on the Earth's climate. The bioavailability of Fe in aerosols depends mainly on the fraction of soluble Fe (=[Fe-Sol]/[Fe-Total], where [FeSol] and [FeTotal] are the atmospheric concentrations of soluble and total Fe, respectively). However, the numerous factors affecting the soluble Fe fraction have not been fully understood. In this study, the Fe species, chemical composition, and soluble Fe concentrations in aerosols collected in Tsukuba, Japan were investigated over a year (nine samples from December 2002 to October 2003) to identify the factors affecting the amount of soluble Fe supplied into the ocean. The soluble Fe concentration in aerosols is correlated with those of sulfate and oxalate originated from anthropogenic sources, suggesting that soluble Fe is mainly derived from anthropogenic sources. Moreover, the soluble Fe concentration is also correlated with the enrichment factors of vanadium and nickel emitted by fossil fuel combustion. These results suggest that the degree of Fe dissolution is influenced by the magnitude of anthropogenic activity, such as fossil fuel combustion. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy was performed in order to identify the Fe species in aerosols. Fitting of XAFS spectra coupled with micro X-ray fluorescence analysis (mu-XRF) showed the main Fe species in aerosols in Tsukuba to be illite, ferrihydrite, hornblende, and Fe(III) sulfate. Moreover, the soluble Fe fraction in each sample measured by leaching experiments is closely correlated with the Fe(III) sulfate fraction determined by the XAFS spectrum fitting, suggesting that Fe(III) sulfate is the main soluble Fe in the ocean. Another possible factor that can control the amount of soluble Fe supplied into the ocean is the total Fe(III) concentration in the atmosphere, which was high in spring due to the high mineral dust concentrations during spring in East Asia. However, this factor does not contribute to the amount of soluble Fe to a larger degree than the effect of Fe speciation, or more strictly speaking the presence of Fe(III) sulfate. Therefore, based on these results, the most significant factor influencing the amount of soluble Fe in the North Pacific region is the concentration of anthropogenic Fe species such as Fe(III) sulfate that can be emitted from megacities in Eastern Asia.

OBJECTIVE: We explored whether PTMs on proteins secreted by the breast could be detected in plasma and potentially used for the early detection of breast cancer. METHODS: We used a custom ELISA microarray platform to measure 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), glutathione (GSH), nitrotyrosine and halotyrosine adducts in 27 secreted proteins, for a total of 108 candidate biomarkers. Two independent sets of human plasma samples were measured, for a total of 160 samples. The results were analyzed for consistent cancer-associated changes across the two sample sets. Plasma samples for both cases and benign controls were collected at the time of tissue diagnosis after referral from a positive screen (such as mammography). The results from both studies were evaluated using ANOVA and t-tests or receiver operator curves (ROC). RESULTS: Levels of GSH-modified ceruloplasmin and HNE-modified PDGF were significantly altered in plasma samples from cancer patients relative to benign controls. Healthy controls, which were only included in the first set of samples, were similar to the benign controls for both of these markers. A combination of three glutathionylated proteins produced the best area under the ROC curve, with a value of 76%. CONCLUSIONS: Specific PTMs in individual proteins may be useful for distinguishing between women with breast cancer and those with benign breast disease. These oxidative changes in plasma proteins may reflect redox changes in breast cancer. Additional studies on oxidative modifications in individual proteins are warranted.

Transformations among canonical micellar forms of polymer assemblies-spherical micelles, wormlike micelles, and vesicles (polymersomes)-have been demonstrated with a number of synthetic systems. This review discusses recent progress in the development and understanding of these systems with a focus on open questions about kinetics of shape change, effects of block copolymer architecture on the rate and nature of the transformation, and potential applications.

This complex was immobilized via the displacement of NO3- into solution, and characterization by spectroscopic (DRIFTS and DRUV-vis) and magnetic data indicates that the intact dication is electrostatically bound to the silica surface. Loadings of up to 4.1% by weight of [Mn-2(mu-O)(2)Cl(mu-O2CCH3)(H2O)(bpy)(2)](2+) were achieved. TEM images of the grafted material revealed retention of the mesoporous structure of SBA15, and no clusters of manganese greater than ca. 10 nm were observed. The SBA15-supported dimanganese complex functions as a catalyst for the oxidation of H2O with (NH4)(2)Ce(NO3)(6) as stoichiometric oxidant. In contrast, homogenous aqueous solutions of 1 do not evolve oxygen upon treatment with (NH4)(2)Ce(NO3)(6). Labeling studies with (H2O)-O-18 confirm that the oxygen formed in this catalysis is derived from water. Monitoring the O-2 evolution allowed determination of an initial rate for the catalysis (TOFi = 1.1 x 10(-3) s(-1)). These studies also reveal a first order dependence on manganese surface concentration, and a zero order rate dependence for (NH4)Ce(NO3)(6). Spectroscopic investigations were employed to investigate the difference in activities between dissolved and supported dimanganese complexes. C1 [Rumberger, Evan M.

While at times useful for angle tuning of the response, this sensitivity can also be a major detriment as angular changes of tenths of a degree can shift the wavelength response in a narrow bandwidth device by an amount greater than the width of the resonance peak. We identify geometries where the resonance is more angularly stable, demonstrating high reflectivity at the design wavelength for several degrees in both azimuth and inclination angular directions with virtually no change in lineshape of the response. The investigation of GMRFs in both classical and conical mounts through simulation using rigorous coupled wave analysis reveals that there are preferred mounts for greater angular tolerance. We simulate a grating at telecom wavelengths using a design that we have previously fabricated. The identical grating placed in different mounts can exhibit angular tolerances that differ by well over an order of magnitude (60x). The most commonly used classical mount has a much more sensitive angular tolerance than does the conical mount. The lineshape of the resonant response shows only negligible changes across the angular band. The angular band for the sample grating is simulated to be several degrees in the conical mount as opposed to a tenth of a degree in the classical mount. We could thus expand the application space for narrow-band GMRFs into areas where angular tolerance cannot be controlled to the degree that we have believed required in the past.

Three components are required for a commercially viable geothermal system: heat, fluid, and permeability. Current commercial electricity production using geothermal energy occurs where the three main components exist naturally. These are called hydrothermal systems. In the US, there is an estimated 30 GW of base load electrical power potential for hydrothermal sites. Next generation geothermal systems, named Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), have an estimated potential of 4500 GW. EGSs lack in-situ fluid, permeability or both. As such, the heat exchange system must be developed or "engineered" within the rock. The envisioned method for producing permeability in the EGS reservoir is hydraulic fracturing, which is rarely practiced in the geothermal industry, and not well understood for the rocks typically present in geothermal reservoirs. High costs associated with trial and error learning in the field have led to an effort to characterize fluid flow and fracturing mechanisms in the laboratory to better understand how to design and manage EGS reservoirs. Neutron radiography has been investigated for potential use in this characterization. An environmental chamber has been developed that is suitable for reproduction of EGS pressures and temperatures and has been tested for both flow and precipitations studies with success for air/liquid interface imaging and 3D reconstruction of precipitation within the core.

We consider the problem of arranging such a large set of images into a visually coherent layout, one that places similar images next to each other. Image similarity is determined using a bag-of-features model, and the layout is constructed from a hierarchical clustering of the image set by mapping an in-order traversal of the hierarchy tree into a space-filling curve. This layout method provides strong locality guarantees so we are able to quantitatively evaluate performance using standard image retrieval benchmarks. Performance of the bag-of-features method is best when the vocabulary is learned on the image set being clustered. Because learning a large, discriminative vocabulary is a computationally demanding task, we present a novel method for efficiently adapting a generic visual vocabulary to a particular dataset. We evaluate our clustering and vocabulary adaptation methods on a variety of image datasets and show that adapting a generic vocabulary to a particular set of images improves performance on both hierarchical clustering and image retrieval tasks.

However, the accuracy of iris recognition systems depends on the quality of data capture and is negatively affected by several factors such as angle, occlusion, and dilation. In this paper, we present a segmentation algorithm for off-angle iris images that uses edge detection, edge elimination, edge classification, and ellipse fitting techniques. In our approach, we first detect all candidate edges in the iris image by using the canny edge detector; this collection contains edges from the iris and pupil boundaries as well as eyelash, eyelids, iris texture etc. Edge orientation is used to eliminate the edges that cannot be part of the iris or pupil. Then, we classify the remaining edge points into two sets as pupil edges and iris edges. Finally, we randomly generate subsets of iris and pupil edge points, fit ellipses for each subset, select ellipses with similar parameters, and average to form the resultant ellipses. Based on the results from real experiments, the proposed method shows effectiveness in segmentation for off-angle iris images.

DOFMS is a velocity-based MS technique in which ions of a range of mass-to-charge (m/z) values are detected simultaneously along the length of a spatially selective detector. As a relative of time-of-flight (TOF) MS, DOFMS leverages benefits from both TOFMS and spatially dispersive MS. The simultaneous detection of groups of m/z values improves dynamic range by spreading ion signal across many detector elements and reduces correlated noise by signal ratioing. To ascertain the performance characteristics of the ICP-DOFMS instrument, we have employed a microchannel-plate/phosphor detection assembly with a scientific CCD to capture images of the phosphor plate. With this simple (and commercially available) detection scheme, elemental detection limits from 2-30 ng L-1 and a linear dynamic range of 5 orders of magnitude (10-10(6) ng L-1) have been demonstrated. Additionally, a competitive isotope-ratio precision of 0.1% RSD has been achieved with only a 6 s signal integration period. In addition to first figures of merit, this paper outlines technical considerations for the design of the ICP-DOFMS.

A miniature gas pressurized extraction chromatography (GPEC) system with a column containing Eichrom Sr Resin (TM) was used for separating the elements so isobaric isotopes could be measured by mass spectrometry. Zirconium was rinsed through the column with 3 M HNO3/trace HF and strontium was eluted with 1% acetic acid. Two mass spectrometric techniques, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS), were used for measuring isotope ratios. Data were obtained with Sr-90 from a blood-irradiator source. Results from the TIMS measurements gave a decay time of 45.16 +/- 0.26 years, and those from the ICP-MS gave 45.24 +/- 0.20 years (uncertainties are expanded uncertainty, k = 2). Quadrupole ICP-MS is preferable to TIMS in this application if the ICP-MS data are suitably corrected for non-linearity and mass discrimination. C1 [Steeb, J. L.; Graczyk, D. G.; Tsai, Y.; Mertz, C.

TI Predicting Behavior in Unstructured Bargaining with a Probability Distribution SO JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID NONCONVEX PROBLEMS; EXTENSION; ALTERNATIVES; FINITE AB In experimental tests of human behavior in unstructured bargaining games, typically many joint utility outcomes are found to occur, not just one. This suggests we predict the outcome of such a game as a probability distribution. This is in contrast to what is conventionally done (e.g, in the Nash bargaining solution), which is predict a single outcome. We show how to translate Nash's bargaining axioms to provide a distribution over outcomes rather than a single outcome. We then prove that a subset of those axioms forces the distribution over utility outcomes to be a power-law distribution. Unlike Nash's original result, our result holds even if the feasible set is finite. When the feasible set is convex and comprehensive, the mode of the power law distribution is the Harsanyi bargaining solution, and if we require symmetry it is the Nash bargaining solution. However, in general these modes of the joint utility distribution are not the experimentalist's Bayes-optimal predictions for the joint utility. Nor are the bargains corresponding to the modes of those joint utility distributions the modes of the distribution over bargains in general, since more than one bargain may result in the same joint utility. After introducing distributional bargaining solution concepts, we show how an external regulator can use them to optimally design an unstructured bargaining scenario. Throughout we demonstrate our analysis in computational experiments involving flight rerouting negotiations in the National Airspace System. We emphasize that while our results are formulated for unstructured bargaining, they can also be used to make predictions for noncooperative games where the modeler knows the utility functions of the players over possible outcomes of the game, but does not know the move spaces the players use to determine those outcomes.

We present results of an intercomparison experiment for plan-view marine ice-sheet models. Verification is effected by comparison with approximate analytical solutions for flux across the grounding line using simplified geometrical configurations (no lateral variations, no buttressing effects from lateral drag). Perturbation experiments specifying spatial variation in basal sliding parameters permitted the evolution of curved grounding lines, generating buttressing effects. The experiments showed regions of compression and extensional flow across the grounding line, thereby invalidating the boundary layer theory. Steady-state grounding-line positions were found to be dependent on the level of physical model approximation. Resolving grounding lines requires inclusion of membrane stresses, a sufficiently small grid size (<500 m), or subgrid interpolation of the grounding line. The latter still requires nominal grid sizes of <5 km. For larger grid spacings, appropriate parameterizations for ice flux may be imposed at the grounding line, but the short-time transient behaviour is then incorrect and different from models that do not incorporate grounding-line parameterizations. The numerical error associated with predicting grounding-line motion can be reduced significantly below the errors associated with parameter ignorance and uncertainties in future scenarios.

Tuning these properties may hold the key to the utilization of complex hydrides in practical applications for hydrogen storage. Using carefully synthesized, highly-ordered, nanoporous carbons (NPCs), we have previously shown quantitative differences in the kinetics and reaction pathways of LiBH4 when incorporated into the frameworks. In this paper, we probe the anion mobility of LiBH4 confined in NPC frameworks by a combination of solid state NMR and quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and present some new insights into the nanoconfinement effect. NMR and QENS spectra of LiBH4 confined in a 4 nm pore NPC suggest that the BH4- anions nearer the LiBH4-carbon pore interface exhibit much more rapid translational and reorientational motions compared to those in the LiBH4 interior. Moreover, an overly broadened BH4- torsional vibration band reveals a disorder-induced array of BH4- rotational potentials. XRD results are consistent with a lack of LiBH4 long-range order in the pores. Consistent with differential scanning calorimetry measurements, neither NMR nor QENS detects a clear solid-solid phase transition as observed in the bulk, indicating that borohydride-framework interactions and/or nanosize effects have large roles in confined LiBH4.

Micelles formed from amphiphilic polystyrene-block-sulfonated poly(1,3-cyclohexadiene) (PS-b-sPCHD) serve as templates to direct the formation of novel triangular prisms of CuCl2 single crystals. We demonstrate that the edge lengths of these triangular prisms can be easily tailored at room temperature from the nanoscale to the mesoscale by simply adjusting the ratio of charged micelles to protons in the solution. This approach can be extended to the preparation of different ordered crystal structures with a precision hard to achieve via other approaches.

This report demonstrates a novel strategy exploring bifunctional nanoparticles for spectroscopic detection and magnetic intervention of DNA assembly, disassembly, and enzyme cutting processes in a solution phase. In contrast to existing single-function based approaches, this strategy exploits magnetic MnZn ferrite nanoparticles decorated with gold or silver on the surface to retain adequate magnetization while producing sufficient plasmonic resonance features to impart surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) functions. The decoration of MnZn ferrite nanoparticles with Au or Ag (MZF/Au or MZF/Ag) was achieved by thermally activated deposition of Au or Ag atoms/nanoparticles on MZF nanoparticles. Upon interparticle double-stranded DNA linkage of the MZF/Au (or MZF/Ag) nanoparticles with gold nanoparticles labeled with a Raman reporter, the resulting interparticle "hot spots" are shown to enable real time SERS monitoring of the DNA assembly, disassembly, or enzyme cutting processes, where the magnetic component provides an effective means for intervention of the biomolecular processes in the solution. The unique bifunctional combination of the SERS "hot spots" and the magnetic separation capability serves as the first example of bifunctional nanoprobes for biomolecular recognition and intervention.

More recently, efficient solution-processed OLEDs with small molecule hosts and small molecule guests were also reported. However, small molecule hosts of polymer guests in solution-processed fluorescent OLEDs have not been investigated. In this work guest: host systems consisting of the small molecule 4,4'-bis(9-carbazolyl)-biphenyl (CBP) as host to polymer guests such as novel benzobisoxazole (BBO)-containing copolymers and well-known poly(2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethyl-hexyloxy)1,4-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) are compared to those with poly(N-vinyl carbazole) (PVK) host, which previously yielded highly efficient phosphorescent OLEDs. In the case of MEH-PPV, guest: host OLEDs are also compared to those with a neat MEH-PPV emitting layer. It is found that replacing the polymer host PVK with the small molecule host CBP improves efficiencies by up to 100%. A blue emissive BBO-polymer: CBP device reaches a luminous efficiency (eta(L,max)) of 3.4 cd A(-1) (external quantum efficiency eta(ext) = 2.4%), while the PVK-based device exhibits eta(L,max) 1.7 cd A(-1) (eta(ext) = 1.2%). A green emissive BBO:CBP OLED exhibits eta(L,max) = 5.7 cd A(-1) (eta(ext) = 2.1%), while that in the PVK host is 3.1 cd A(-1) (eta(ext) = 1.1%). For MEH-PPV: CBP these values are 3.7 cd A(-1) (eta(ext) = 1.4%), compared to 2.9 cd A(-1) (eta(ext) = 1.0%) for MEH-PPV:PVK and 0.7 cd A(-1) (eta(ext) = 0.4%) for the neat MEH-PPV device. Possible origins of the improvement are discussed, including increased charge mobility, smoother film morphology, and the potential effect of multiple non-coiling host small molecules (in contrast to the likely coiled PVK) surrounding a polymer guest.

Piezoresponse and ferroelectric properties were clearly observed in the PTO nanoislands by band excitation piezoresponse force microscopy. In particular, PTO nanoislands were fully switchable even with a volume as small as 79 nm(3). Accordingly, it is expected that the volume of the switchable ferroelectric nanoislands can be further decreased. The obtained results show that an areal density of over 10 Tb in(-2) for the ferroelectric memory devices would be possible.

A shell or capsid, which is composed of a few thousand protein subunits, surrounds a series of sequentially acting enzymes and controls the diffusion of substrates and products into and out of the lumen. The carboxysome and the propanediol utilization microcompartment represent two well-studied systems among seven or more distinct types that can be delineated presently. Recent structural studies have highlighted a number of sophisticated mechanisms that underlie the function of bacterial microcompartment shell proteins. This review updates our understanding of bacterial microcompartment shells, how they are assembled, and how they carry out their functions in molecular transport and enzyme organization.

Despite the interest in and study of DOEs, the application of DOEs has been limited to narrow spectral bands. This is due to DOEs depths, which are optimized for optical path differences of only a single wavelength, consequently leading to rapid decline in efficiency as the working wavelength shifts away from the design wavelength. Various broadband DOE design methodologies have recently been developed that improve spectral diffraction efficiency and expand the working bandwidth of diffractive elements. Two such extended bandwidth diffractive designs have been modeled and fabricated. The diffraction efficiency test result for one broadband DOE design is presented.

The reflection spectra of the periodic multilayer mirrors are measured using synchrotron radiation and laser plasma-generated radiation. The experimental spectra are theoretically interpreted with the inclusion of transition layers and substrate roughness. The density of antimony layers is supposedly rho(Sb) = 6.0 g cm(-3), and the thickness of transition layers (if any) in the Sb/B4C multilayer structures does not exceed 10 angstrom. A peak reflectivity of 19% is attained at a wavelength of 85 angstrom. An aperiodic mirror optimised for maximum uniform reflectivity in the 100 - 120 angstrom range is tested employing the laser plasma radiation source. C1 [Vishnyakov, E. A.; Luginin, M.

A central composite experimental design (CCD) was used to optimize the bio-oil and syngas yields. The effects of temperature and inverse weight hourly space velocity (WHSV)(-1) on the bio-oil composition were determined. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis results showed that the bio-oil contained aromatic hydrocarbons. The aromatic hydrocarbons were enriched and became the most abundant compounds accounting for about 15-92.6% in upgraded bio-oils, depending on the catalytic pyrolysis conditions. The aromatic hydrocarbons were mainly composed of benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene, and their derivatives. When the effect of the reaction temperature on the bio-oil chemical compositions was analysed with a fixed (WHSV)(-1) (0.048 h), we found that the aromatic hydrocarbons increased from 0.72% in raw bio-oil (no catalyst added) to around 92.6% when the catalysis temperature was 500 degrees C, clearly demonstrating that a high temperature with the ZSM-5 Zeolite catalyst favoured the production of aromatic hydrocarbons. At a lower temperature fixed at 375 degrees C, the aromatic hydrocarbon content was increased from 0.72% to 78.1% with a (WHSV)(-1) increase from 0 to 0.075.

A strong photo-induced modulation of the optical reflectivity is observed on the sub-picosecond timescale, indicating the transient filling and recovery of the pseudogap in the mid-infrared charge transport. A variational Kramers-Kronig analysis of equilibrium reflectivity data is extended to time-resolved experiments, allowing us to extract the optical conductivity despite a comparatively limited frequency range of tunable femtosecond parametric sources. The fast dynamics of the spectral weight transfer supports an electronic origin of the mid-infrared pseudogap in nickelates. C1 [Coslovich, G.; Huber, B.; Zhu, Y.; Schoenlein, R. W.; Kaindl, R.

TI Year-round retrievals of trace gases in the Arctic using the Extended-range Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID TOTAL OZONE MEASUREMENTS; GROUND-BASED FTIR; INFRARED MEASUREMENTS; EMISSION-SPECTROSCOPY; COLUMN MEASUREMENTS; CARBON-MONOXIDE; WATER-VAPOR; EUREKA; VALIDATION; CANADA AB The Extended-range Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (E-AERI) was installed at the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL) at Eureka, Nunavut, Canada in October 2008. Spectra from the E-AERI provide information about the radiative balance and budgets of trace gases in the Canadian high Arctic. Measurements are taken every 7 min year-round, including polar night when the solar-viewing spectrometers at PEARL are not operated. This allows E-AERI measurements to fill the gap in the PEARL dataset during the four months of polar night. Measurements were taken year-round in 2008-2009 at the PEARL Ridge Lab, which is 610 m a.s.l. (above sea-level), and from 2011 onwards at the Zero-Altitude PEARL Auxiliary Lab (0PAL), which is at sea level 15 km from the Ridge Lab. Total columns of O-3, CO, CH4, and N2O have been retrieved using a modified version of the SFIT2 retrieval algorithm adapted for emission spectra. This provides the first ground-based nighttime measurements of these species at Eureka. Changes in the total columns driven by photochemistry and dynamics are observed. Analyses of E-AERI retrievals indicate accurate spectral fits (root-mean-square residuals consistent with noise) and a 10-15% uncertainty in the total column, depending on the trace gas. O-3 comparisons between the E-AERI and a Bruker IFS 125HR Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, three Brewer spectrophotometers, two UV-visible ground-based spectrometers, and a System D'Analyse par Observations Zenithales (SAOZ) at PEARL are made from 2008-2009 and for 2011. 125HR CO, CH4, and N2O columns are also compared with the E-AERI measurements. Mean relative differences between the E-AERI and the other spectrometers are 1-10% (14% is for the un-smoothed profiles), which are less than the E-AERI's total column uncertainties. The E-AERI O-3 and CO measurements are well correlated with the other spectrometers (r > 0.92 with the 125HR). The 24 h diurnal cycle and 365-day seasonal cycle of CO are observed and their amplitudes are quantified by the E-AERI (6-12 and 46 %, respectively). The seasonal variability of H2O has an impact on the retrievals, leading to larger uncertainties in the summer months. Despite increased water vapour at the lower-altitude site 0PAL, measurements at 0PAL are consistent with measurements at PEARL.

Transpiration (E-T) was significantly related to post-pulse delta(R) enrichment because the leaf water delta O-18 value showed strong enrichment with increasing vapor pressure deficit that occurs following rain. Post-pulse delta(R) enrichment was correlated with both E-T and the ratio of E-T to soil evaporation (E-T/E-S). In contrast, the soil water delta O-18 value was relatively stable and delta(R) enrichment was not correlated with E-S. Model simulations captured the large post-pulse delta(R) enrichments only when the offset between xylem and leaf water delta O-18 value was modeled explicitly and when a gross flux model for CO2 retro-diffusion was included. Drought impacts delta(R) through the balance between evaporative demand, which enriches delta(R), and low soil moisture availability, which attenuates delta(R) enrichment through reduced E-T. The net result, observed throughout all four years of our study, was a negative correlation of post-precipitation delta(R) enrichment with increasing drought. C1 [Shim, J. H.; Powers, H.

To determine how specific organelles contribute to light scattering, wide angle side scattering was imaged simultaneously with fluorescence from specific organelles for thousands of cells using flow cytometry. Images were obtained with different depth of field conditions and analyzed with different assumptions. Both sets of data demonstrated that mitochondria and lysosomes, contribute similarly to side scatter. The nucleus contributes as much or more light scatter than either the mitochondria or the lysosomes.

Measured intensities in rotational spectra determine species-isomer-vibrational populations, provided that the rotational populations can be thermalized. The formation and detection of S-0 vinylidene is discussed in the limits of low and high initial rotational excitation. CPmmW spectra of 193 nm photolysis of vinyl cyanide (acrylonitrile) contain J = 0-1 transitions in more than 20 vibrational levels of HCN and HNC, but no transitions in vinylidene or highly excited local-bender vibrational levels of acetylene. Reasons for the non-observation of the vinylidene co-product of HCN are discussed. C1 [Prozument, Kirill; Shaver, Rachel Glyn; Park, G.

The vertical detachment energies (VDEs) of these systems were found to be 4.05 eV and 4.11 eV for iodide-thymine (I-center dot T) and iodide-uracil (I-center dot U) clusters, respectively. An ultraviolet pump pulse was used to promote intracluster charge transfer from iodide to the nucleobase. Subsequent electron detachment using an infrared probe pulse monitored the dynamics of the resulting transient negative ion. Photoelectron spectra reveal two primary features: a near-zero electron kinetic energy signal attributed to autodetachment and a transient feature representing photodetachment from the excited anion state. The transient state exhibits biexponential decay in both thymine and uracil complexes with short and long decay time constants ranging from 150-600 fs and 1-50 ps, respectively, depending on the excitation energy. However, both time constants are systematically shorter for I-center dot T. Vibrational autodetachment and iodine loss are identified as the primary decay mechanisms of the transient negative ions of thymine and uracil.

The former (CF) n has been widely prepared and commercially utilized as electrodes in primary lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Porous electrodes, i.e. templated mesoporous carbons, can greatly improve first Coulombic efficiencies. For achieving the highest discharge potentials and rate capabilities, the extent of fluorination reactions and the retention of a conductive carbon backbone are required. Hence, the choice of the starting carbon nanomaterial and of the fluorination conditions is detrimental to the design of future energy storage and conversion devices, namely LIBs and pseudosupercapacitors.

These developments provide new insights into local structures in nanoporous carbon and their effect on gas adsorption and uptake characteristics. Experiments and theory show that appropriately tuned pores can strongly enhance local adsorption, and that pore sizes can be used to tune adsorption characteristics. In the case of H-2 adsorbed on nanostructured carbon, quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering probes demonstrate novel quantum effects in the motion of adsorbed molecules. C1 [Morris, J.

In this paper, we synthesize SPANI/S composites with different S content in a nanorod configuration. FTIR, Raman, XPS, XRD, SEM and elemental analysis methods are used to characterize the molecular structure of the materials. We provide clear evidence that a portion of S was grafted on PANI during heating and connected the PANI chains with disulfide bonds to form a crosslinked network and the rest of S was encapsulated within it. Polysulfides and elementary S nanoparticles are physically trapped inside the polymer network and are not chemically bound to the polymer.

At longer wavelengths of light (e.g. 193 and 248 nm), the photons are directly involved in the photochemistry occurring during photolysis. EUV light (13.5 um, 92 eV), however, first creates a photoelectron, and this electron, or its subsequent daughter electrons create most of the chemical changes that occur during exposure. Despite the importance of these electrons, the details surrounding the chemical events leading to acid production remain poorly understood. Previously reported experimental results using high PAG-loaded resists have demonstrated that up to five or six photoacids can be generated per incident photon. Until recently, only electron recombination events were thought to play a role in acid generation, requiring that at least as many secondary electrons are produced to yield a given number of acid molecules. However, the initial results we have obtained using a Monte Carlo-based modeling program, LESiS, demonstrate that only two to three secondary electrons are made per absorbed EUV photon. A more comprehensive understanding of EUV-induced acid generation is therefore needed for the development of higher performance resists.

TI Past and future ozone trends in California's South Coast Air Basin: Reconciliation of ambient measurements with past and projected emission inventories SO JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article ID WEEKDAY; QUALITY; TUNNEL; NOX AB This paper updates the historic trends (1980-2010) in ambient ozone and ozone precursor concentrations in the South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB) and examines the evolution of the ozone-precursor relationship in the Basin. Whereas reductions in NOx (oxide of nitrogen) emissions have decreased nitrate and PM2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter 2.5 m) concentrations in the Basin during the past decade, ozone levels have increased at the central basin locations since about 2005 following a reversal in the decline of volatile organic compound (VOC)/NOx ratios during the previous two decades. A chemical box model was used to simulate the effects of changes in precursor concentrations on ozone formation using day-of-week-specific initial precursor concentrations that were derived from measurements and projected to 2020 based on expected emission reductions from 2005 (-10% VOC and-50% NOx). Results show that peak ozone formation rates in 2020 will increase on weekdays by a factor of 3 relative to 2005 and will be comparable to 1995 weekday and 2005 Sunday rates. Ozone production will become precursor limited on Sundays in 2020, but with higher initial rates than 2005. Although a greater NOx reduction scenario in 2020 of-75% will result in even higher initial ozone formation rates, precursor limitation is reached quickly, leading to a further shift westward in the location of peak ozone levels. However, ozone levels will likely be lower in downwind areas where transport is more important than local production of ozone. The ambient versus emission inventory reconciliation indicates a factor of 2 underestimation of VOC emissions in 2009 relative to NOx. Other analyses suggest that there is an overall increase in VOC emissions on hot days that is not fully accounted for by emission inventory estimates. Air quality models using emission inventories that underestimate VOC emissions relative to NOx may lead to inaccurate forecasting of the consequence of emission reductions. Implications: The rate and efficiency of ozone formation and accumulation in the SoCAB is more rapid than would be indicated by air quality model simulations based on the current inventory. Projected reductions in NOx emissions without concurrent reductions in VOC emissions will likely cause ozone to increase during the next decade within central regions of the SoCAB compared with a flat or slightly declining trend in far downwind locations. Air quality statistics that are commonly used to track progress toward attainment, such as basin-wide ozone design value and standard exceedances mask these varying trends within the Basin.

We demonstrate a new concept for a heat switch that is based on micro-scale electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flows in thin layers of dielectric fluids. In this device, convective flow of the fluid is controlled by applying an electric field across the fluid layer. This creates a heat switch that can be cycled between a "closed" state with efficient convective heat transport and an "open" state with less efficient conductive heat transport. Substantial switching of the thermal transport coefficient was achieved in 500 mu m thick layers of commercial hydrofluoroethers and bias voltages of typically 390 V. The efficacy of the heat switch varied by almost four orders of magnitude for different biasing schemes. The highest efficacy was achieved by biasing a patterned strip electrode and using a planar ground electrode. A preliminary experiment found a thermal conductivity contrast of 4.7 +/- 1.1 for the switch in the closed vs. open state. We also characterize the electrocaloric response of commercial multilayer ceramic chip capacitors and show that they can serve as serve as a useful surrogate material for first-generation electrocaloric refrigerators until higher performing multilayer structures of ferroelectric polymers are available.

Here, we used otolith microstructure and chemistry to examine the factors potentially linked to selective mortality of juvenile fall-run Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha from California's Central Valley during early ocean residence. Back-calculated size and growth rates of the population were compared across 3 sample periods: as juveniles exited the San Francisco Bay estuary (estuary-exit), after their first month at sea (summer-ocean) and 5 mo after ocean entry (fall-ocean). We compared mortality dynamics during years of exceptional recruitment (addition of individuals to harvestable population; 2000 and 2001) to a year of poor recruitment (2005). Otoliths from 2005 were also analyzed for sulfur isotopes to discern hatchery from naturally spawned stock. Significant size and growth-rate selective mortality were detected during the first month at sea in the low recruitment year of 2005, but not in 2000 and 2001. Individuals that were larger and growing faster during freshwater and estuarine rearing were more likely to survive to summer and fall in the low recruitment year. There was a slight, but insignificant, increase in the proportion of hatchery to naturally spawned individuals from estuary-exit to fall-ocean, suggesting that fish from neither origin were overwhelmingly favored. Our results suggest that Central Valley Chinook salmon can be subject to significant size and growth-rate selective mortality resulting in low adult abundance, and this mortality appears independent of origin.

Recent work has shown that the hierarchical structure of bone plays an important role in determining its mechanical properties and resistance to fracture. The current study represents one of the first attempts to characterize the 3D structure and composition of cortical bone in OI at the micron-scale. A total of 26 pediatric bone fragments from 18 individuals were collected during autopsy (N-c=5) or routing orthopaedic procedures (N-OI=13) and imaged by microtomography with a synchrotron light source (SR mu CT) for several microstructural parameters including cortical porosity (Ca.V/TV), canal surface to tissue volume (Ca.S/TV), canal diameter (Ca.Dm), canal separation (Ca.Sp), canal connectivity density (Ca.ConnD), and volumetric tissue mineral density (TMD). Results indicated significant differences in all imaging parameters between pediatric controls and OI tissue, with OI bone showing drastically increased cortical porosity, canal diameter, and connectivity. Preliminary mechanical testing revealed a possible link between cortical porosity and strength. Together these results suggest that the pore network in OI contributes greatly to its reduced mechanical properties.

Although most individuals deviate slightly from perfect symmetry, humans are essentially considered bilaterally symmetrical. Consequently, increased fluctuating asymmetry of paired structures could be an indicator of disease. There are several published studies linking bilateral breast size asymmetry with increased breast cancer risk. These studies were based on radiologists' manual measurements of breast size from mammographic images. We aim to develop a computerized technique to assess fluctuating breast volume asymmetry in screening mammograms and investigate whether it correlates with the presence of breast cancer. Using a large database of screening mammograms with known ground truth we applied automated breast region segmentation and automated breast size measurements in CC and MLO views using three well established methods. All three methods confirmed that indeed patients with breast cancer have statistically significantly higher fluctuating asymmetry of their breast volumes. However, statistically significant difference between patients with cancer and benign lesions was observed only for the MLO views. The study suggests that automated assessment of global bilateral asymmetry could serve as a breast cancer risk biomarker for women undergoing mammographic screening. Such biomarker could be used to alert radiologists or computer-assisted detection (CAD) systems to exercise increased vigilance if higher than normal cancer risk is suspected.

Researchers in this field are constantly pushing the boundary of this universe by identifying new compositions and in a few "lucky" cases, solving their structures. Such solved structures, even if there are only few, provide important hints for predicting the many identified compositions that are yet to be crystallized or structure determined. Structure prediction is the most pressing issue for a computational chemist in this field. The success of the density functional theory method in gauging the energetic ordering of isomers for thiolated gold clusters has been truly remarkable, but to predict the most stable structure for a given composition remains a great challenge. In this feature article from a computational chemist's point of view, the author shows how one understands and predicts structures for thiolated gold nanoclusters based on his old and new results. To further entertain the reader, the author also offers several "imaginative" structures, claims, and challenges for this field. C1 Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Div Chem Sci, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 USA.

To substantiate our recent discovery we investigate a wide range of noble-transition metal nanoparticles and confirm that they expand and contract radially when treated in oxidizing (O-2) and reducing (H-2) atmospheres, respectively. The results are confirmed by supplementary XAFS experiments. Using computer simulations guided by the experimental diffraction data we quantify the effect in terms of both relative lattice strain and absolute atomic displacements. In particular, we show that the effect leads to a small percent of extra surface strain corresponding to several tenths of Angstrom displacements of the atoms at the outmost layer of the particles. The effect then gradually decays to zero within 4 atomic layers inside the particles. We also show that, reminiscent of a breathing type structural transformation, the effect is reproducible and reversible. We argue that because of its significance and widespread occurrence the effect should be taken into account in nanoparticle research.

This discovered synthesis procedure eliminates the use of any polymer capping agents and enables a catalytically clean Pt surface. It is determined that the presence of H+ ions is crucial for initializing the galvanic replacement reaction. The electrocatalytic performances of the Pt NCs were tested for both oxygen reduction and methanol oxidation reactions, which showed higher electrochemical activity and greater long-term durability as compared with commercial Pt materials.

The advantage of this dual approach is that the strengths of one modality can balance the weaknesses of the other. However, success of this technique requires developing imaging probes suitable for both. Here, we report on the development of a nanoparticle labeling procedure via covalent bonding with carbon-11 PET isotope. Carbon-11 in the form of [C-11] methyl iodide was used as a methylation agent to react with carboxylic acid (-COOH) and amine (-NH2) functional groups of ligands bound to the nanoparticles (NPs). The surface coating ligands present on superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (SPIO NPs) were radiolabeled to achieve dual-modality PET/MR imaging capabilities. The proof-of-concept dual-modality PET/MR imaging using the radiolabeled SPIO NPs was demonstrated in an in vivo experiment.

Thereby the unoccupied states of alpha-Fe2O3 are examined. In the lowest energy region these are found to be strongly-hybridized Fe 3d (a(1g)) orbitals and O2- ligand 2p orbitals, oriented along the c-axis. For [110]-oriented alpha-Fe2O3 nanocrystals the observed direction of strong hybridization is parallel to the substrate surface (perpendicular to the direction of electron conduction and light propagation in operating electrodes). The Fe L-3-edge line shape and aspects of polarization dependence can be reproduced by crystal field atomic multiplet calculations of 2p-to-3d transitions for Fe3+ in the D-3d point group symmetry of metal ions in the corundum structure. Both the O K-edge and Fe L-3-edge spectra possess features that may be related to the high density of surface atoms in this nanoscale system. They are associated with partial coordination and therefore reduced symmetry compared to that for Fe3+ in bulk crystals.

Woods TI CO2 capture properties of lithium silicates with different ratios of Li2O/SiO2: an ab initio thermodynamic and experimental approach SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID HIGH-TEMPERATURE; CARBON-DIOXIDE; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; ALPHA-QUARTZ; STRUCTURAL-PROPERTIES; ELECTRONIC-PROPERTIES; MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS; REACTION-MECHANISM; KINETIC-ANALYSIS; PARTICLE-SIZE AB The lithium silicates have attracted scientific interest due to their potential use as high-temperature sorbents for CO2 capture. The electronic properties and thermodynamic stabilities of lithium silicates with different Li2O/SiO2 ratios (Li2O, Li8SiO6, Li4SiO4, Li6Si2O7, Li2SiO3, Li2Si2O5, Li2Si3O7, and alpha-SiO2) have been investigated by combining first-principles density functional theory with lattice phonon dynamics. All these lithium silicates examined are insulators with band-gaps larger than 4.5 eV. By decreasing the Li2O/SiO2 ratio, the first valence bandwidth of the corresponding lithium silicate increases. Additionally, by decreasing the Li2O/SiO2 ratio, the vibrational frequencies of the corresponding lithium silicates shift to higher frequencies. Based on the calculated energetic information, their CO2 absorption capabilities were extensively analyzed through thermodynamic investigations on these absorption reactions. We found that by increasing the Li2O/SiO2 ratio when going from Li2Si3O7 to Li8SiO6, the corresponding lithium silicates have higher CO2 capture capacity, higher turnover temperatures and heats of reaction, and require higher energy inputs for regeneration. Based on our experimentally measured isotherms of the CO2 chemisorption by lithium silicates, we found that the CO2 capture reactions are two-stage processes: (1) a superficial reaction to form the external shell composed of Li2CO3 and a metal oxide or lithium silicate secondary phase and (2) lithium diffusion from bulk to the surface with a simultaneous diffusion of CO2 into the shell to continue the CO2 chemisorption process. The second stage is the rate determining step for the capture process. By changing the mixing ratio of Li2O and SiO2, we can obtain different lithium silicate solids which exhibit different thermodynamic behaviors. Based on our results, three mixing scenarios are discussed to provide general guidelines for designing new CO2 sorbents to fit practical needs.

The Gibbs free energy is first decomposed into the sum of two components: the Gibbs free energy of transfer of molecular HCl from the vapor to the aqueous liquid phase and the standard-state Gibbs free energy of acid dissociation of HCl in aqueous solution. The former quantity is calculated using Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulations using either Kohn-Sham density functional theory or a molecular mechanics force field to determine the system's potential energy. The latter Gibbs free energy contribution is computed using a continuum solvation model utilizing either experimental reference data or micro-solvated clusters. The predicted combined solvation and dissociation Gibbs free energies agree very well with available experimental data.

Hydrogen atoms, normally invisible in most X-ray crystal structures, become visible with neutrons. Using X-rays allows one to see structure, while neutrons allow one to reveal the chemistry inherent in these macromolecular structures. A number of surprising and sometimes controversial results have emerged; because it is difficult to see or predict hydrogen atoms in X-ray structures, when they are seen by neutrons they can be in unexpected locations with important chemical and biological consequences. Here we describe examples of chemistry seen with neutrons for the first time in biological macromolecules over the past few years.

TI Surface potentials of (001), (012), (113) hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) crystal faces in aqueous solution SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL WATER OXIDATION; ZERO CHARGE; SOLUTION INTERFACE; ELECTRON-AFFINITY; PROTON ADSORPTION; PH; POINTS; OXIDE; UPDATE; MODEL AB Hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) is an important candidate electrode for energy system technologies such as photoelectrochemical water splitting. Conversion efficiency issues with this material are presently being addressed through nanostructuring, doping, and surface modification. However, key electrochemical properties of hematite/electrolyte interfaces remain poorly understood at a fundamental level, in particular those of crystallographically well-defined hematite faces likely present as interfacial components at the grain scale. We report a combined measurement and theory study that isolates and evaluates the equilibrium surface potentials of three nearly defect-free single crystal faces of hematite, titrated from pH 3 to 11.25. We link measured surface potentials with atomic-scale surface topology, namely the ratio and distributions of surface protonation-deprotonation site types expected from the bulk structure. The data reveal face-specific points of zero potential (PZP) relatable to points of zero net charge (PZC) that lie within a small pH window (8.35-8.85). Over the entire pH range the surface potentials show strong non-Nernstian charging at pH extremes separated by a wide central plateau in agreement with surface complexation modeling predictions, but with important face-specific distinctions. We introduce a new surface complexation model based on fitting the entire data set that depends primarily only on the proton affinities of two site types and the two associated electrical double layer capacitances. The data and model show that magnitudes of surface potential biases at the pH extremes are on the order of 100 mV, similar to the activation energy for electron hopping mobility. An energy band diagram for hematite crystallites with specific face expression and pH effects is proposed that could provide a baseline for understanding water splitting performance enhancement effects from nanostructuring, and guide morphology targets and pH for systematic improvements in efficiency.

The mononuclear Ru(II) polypyridyl complex (1) [Ru(NPM)(H2O)(pic)(2)](2+) (NPM = 4-tert-butyl-2,6-di-(1',8'-naphthyrid-2'-yl)-pyridine, pic = 4-picoline) has been examined as a catalyst for visible-light-driven water oxidation in a three-component homogeneous system containing [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) as a photosensitizer, persulfate as a sacrificial electron acceptor and catalyst 1. In contrast to the well-established water oxidation mechanism via the nucleophilic attack of a water molecule on the high-energy [Ru-V=O](3+) species, a lower-energy "direct pathway" for O-O bond formation via a [Ru-V=O](2+) intermediate was proposed for the first time for the catalyst 1 (Polyansky et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2011, 133, 14649). In this report we successfully demonstrate that this unique proton-coupled low-energy pathway actually takes place with the use of a mild oxidant such as the photogenerated [Ru(bpy)(3)](3+) (1.26 V vs. NHE) to drive water oxidation. The overall quantum yield of 9%, TOF of 0.12 s(-1) and TON of 103 (limited solely by a drop in pH) were found for photochemical water oxidation with 1 using [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) as a photosensitizer and [S2O8](2-) as a sacrificial electron acceptor. These values render catalyst 1 as one of the most active mononuclear ruthenium-based catalysts for light-driven water oxidation in a homogeneous system. The utilization of a pH-dependent pathway for water oxidation is a new and promising direction as a low-energy pathway. Furthermore, the detailed analysis of individual photochemical steps leading to O-2 evolution provides benchmarks for future mechanistic studies of photo-induced water oxidation catalysis.

Compared to the NiO-CdS nanowire mesh IO electrode, the hole diffusion coefficient of the CdS-sensitized Ni-NiO core-shell nanowire mesh IO photocathode was one order of magnitude larger, indicating that the Ni core facilitated hole transfer in nanostructured p-type electrodes.

The mechanical properties, including the ultimate stresses, ultimate strains, and high order elastic constants of silicene are predicted, as well as the structure evolutions. Both g-Si and b-Si can sustain large strains (eta >= 0.15) for armchair, zigzag, and biaxial deformation. The third, fourth, and fifth order elastic constants are indispensable for accurate modeling of the mechanical properties under strains larger than 0.03, 0.06, and 0.08 respectively. The second order elastic constants, including in-plane stiffness, are predicted to monotonically increase with pressure while the Poisson ratio monotonically decreases with increasing pressure. Our results on the positive ultimate strengths and strains, second order elastic constants, and the in-plane Young's modulus indicate that both g-Si and b-Si are mechanically stable.

Rock samples of four different particle shapes are established in this study based on clumped particle model, and a sphericity index is used to quantify particle shape. Model parameters for simulation in PFC are obtained by triaxial compression test of quartz sandstone, and simulation of triaxial compression test is then conducted on four rock samples with different particle shapes. It is seen from the results that stress thresholds of rock samples such as crack initiation stress, crack damage stress, and peak stress decrease with the increasing of the sphericity index. The increase of sphericity leads to a drop of elastic modulus and a rise in Poisson ratio, while the decreasing sphericity usually results in the increase of cohesion and internal friction angle. Based on volume change of rock samples during simulation of triaxial compression test, variation of dilation angle with plastic strain is also studied.

Frequency modulation (FM) to amplitude modulation (AM) conversion in the infrared (IR) output, frequency conversion, and final optics affected the accumulation of B-integral in that beamline. Modeling of this FM-to-AM conversion using the code Miro [Morice, O., "Miro: Complete modeling and software for pulse amplification and propagation in high-power laser systems," Opt. Eng. 42(6), 1530-1541 (2003).] was used as input to set the beamline performance limits for picket (short) pulses with multi-FM SSD applied. This article first describes that modeling. The 1-D SSD analytical model of Chuang [Chuang, Y.-H., "Amplification of broad-bandwidth phase-modulated laser counterpropagating light waves in homogeneous plasma," Ph.D. thesis, University of Rochester (September 1991).] is first extended to the case of multiple modulators and then used to benchmark Miro simulations. Comparison is also made to an alternative analytic model developed by Hocquet et al. [Hocquet, S., Penninckx, D., Bordenave, E., Gouedard, C. and Jaouen, Y., "FM-to-AM conversion in high-power lasers," Appl. Opt. 47(18), 3338-3349 (2008).] With the confidence engendered by this benchmarking, Miro results for multi-FM SSD applied on OMEGA EP are then presented. The relevant output section(s) of the OMEGA EP Laser System are described. The additional B-integral in OMEGA EP IR components upstream of the frequency converters due to AM is modeled. The importance of locating the image of the SSD dispersion grating at the frequency converters is demonstrated. Finally, since frequency conversion is not performed in OMEGA EP's target chamber, the additional AM due to propagation to the target chamber's vacuum window is modeled. C1 [Kelly, J.

Two classes of gas stopping have been developed over the last 40+ years, broadly classified as He Jet and Ion guide. A primary difference between these two techniques is the physical separation of the stopping cell and the ionization cell in the He Jet technique. In this paper we point out two applications of current interest where this physical separation is crucial: 1) ionization (ion beam intensity) is independent of primary beam intensity and 2) multiuser capability for accelerator facilities.

First we present plausible arguments for the notion that the observed resonance structures at the lowest measured energies arise from the relatively large spacing and narrow width of Mg-24 compound levels at the corresponding excitation energy region. We thus point out that the Incoming Wave Boundary Condition is inappropriate for calculating the fusion cross section under these situations. Secondly, we report on a particle-gamma coincidence technique that has been used for the first time to measure the fusion cross section in the system C-12 + C-12 at low beam energies. Based on these results, it should be possible to measure this important fusion cross section down to the 10 pb level within a reasonable length of time. C1 [Jiang, C.

To explore the role of transfer couplings, fusion excitation functions have been measured using neutron-rich radioactive Sn-132 beams incident on Ca-40 and Ni-58 targets. The sub-barrier fusion enhancement for Sn-132+Ca-40 is larger than that for Sn-132+Ni-58 although the neutron transfer Q-values are similar for the two reactions. The fusion excitation function for Ti-46+Sn-124 has been measured in an attempt to resolve the differences observed in Sn-132+Ca-40 and Sn-132+Ni-58.

The greatly upgraded detector, called sPHENIX, consists of a superconducting solenoid and electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters with a fiducial acceptance of Delta phi = 2 pi and |eta| < 1 around an existing silicon tracking detector, the VTX. It will have excellent capabilities for measuring an important set of jet observables. These measurements, in conjunction with similar measurements at the LHC, will provide information about energy loss, transport coefficients, and the fundamental constituents of the sQGP in the domain of strongest coupling, near T-c.

In addition, heavy flavor quarkonia production is thought to be uniquely sensitive to the deconfined medium of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) through color screening. Heavy quark production has been studied by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC via measurements of single leptons from semi-leptonic decays, in both the electron channel at mid-rapidity and in the muon channel at forward rapidity. Large suppression and azimuthal anisotropy of single electrons have been observed in Au+Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. These results suggest a large energy loss and strong flow of the heavy quarks in the hot, dense matter. The PHENIX experiment has also measured J/psi, production in p+p, d+Au, Cu+Cu, and Au+Au collisions at energies up to root s(NN) = 200 GeV. In central Au+Au at 200 GeV, more suppression is observed at forward rapidity than at central rapidity. This can be interpreted either as a sign of quark recombination, or as a hint of additional cold nuclear matter effects. Selected PHENIX results on open heavy flavor and heavy quarkonia production in p+p, d+Au, Cu+Cu, and Au+Au collisions are presented. The status of the recent PHENIX upgrade of the central Silicon Vertex Tracker (VTX) and its performance are elucidated.

To perform such an experiment at the limits of the present instrumentation, several developments were needed. The most important of these developments was of an intense isotopically enriched Ti-50 beam using the MIVOC method. The experimental set-up and subsequent analysis allowed the (256)Rf ground-state band to be revealed. The rotational properties of the band are discussed and compared with neighboring transfermium nuclei through the study of their moments of inertia. These data suggest that there is no evidence of a significant deformed shell gap at Z = 104. C1 [Rubert, J.; Dorvaux, O.; Gall, B. J.

Since their large masses are not easily affected by the strong interaction with QCD medium they may carry information from the system at early stage. The interaction between heavy quarks and the medium is sensitive to the medium dynamics; therefore heavy quarks are suggested as an ideal probe to quantify the properties of the strongly interacting QCD matter. The STAR Collaboration should complete the Heavy Flavor Tracker (HFT) and the Muon Telescope Detector (MTD) upgrades by 2014. These detectors will greatly enhance the STAR physics capability to measure heavy quark collectivity and correlations using topologically reconstructed charmed hadrons and heavy quark decay electron-muon correlations. In addition, measurements of the quarkonium muon decay channels will enable us to separate Upsilon 1S from 2S and 3S states in p + p and A+A collisions. Selected STAR results on open charm and quarkonia production in p + p and Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV are presented. An overview of the upgrades, their expected performance and current status is presented. C1 [Videbaek, Flemming; STAR Collaboration] Brookhaven Natl Lab, Upton, NY 11973 USA.

As a consequence, there is a collective longitudinal momentum transfer to the scatterers along the jet direction, each scatterer carrying a substantial fraction of the incident jet longitudinal momentum. The manifestation of the Bose-Einstein interference may have been observed in angular correlations of hadrons associated with a high-p(T) trigger in high-energy collisions at RHIC and LHC.

Biofuels and their combustion are compared with combustion features of conventional petroleum-based fuels. Two main classes of biofuels are described, those consisting of small, primarily alcohol, fuels ( particularly ethanol, n-butanol, and iso-pentanol) that are used primarily to replace or supplement gasoline and those derived from fatty acids and used primarily to replace or supplement conventional diesel fuels.

Here I review several interrelated areas of recent work on aqueous systems that aim to explore and explain this richness by revealing molecular arrangements, their thermodynamic origins, and the timescales on which they change. Vibrational spectroscopy of OH stretching features prominently in these discussions, with an emphasis on efforts to establish connections between spectroscopic signals and statistics of intermolecular structure. For bulk solutions, the results of these efforts largely verify and enrich existing physical pictures of hydrogen-bond network connectivity, dynamics, and response. For water at interfaces, such pictures are still emerging. As an important example I discuss the solvation of small ions at the air-water interface, whose surface propensities challenge a basic understanding of how aqueous fluctuations accommodate solutes in heterogeneous environments.

In addition to surveying results from simulation studies, we discuss challenges to the refinement and experimental validation of the methodology for simulating ion adsorption to the air-water interface and recent advances in elucidating the driving forces for adsorption. We also review the recent development of a dielectric continuum theory capable of reproducing simulation and experimental data on ion behavior at aqueous interfaces.

The EFP method has been interfaced with most currently used ab initio single-reference and multireference quantum mechanics (QM) methods, ranging from Hartree-Fock and coupled cluster theory to multireference perturbation theory. The most recent innovations in the EFP model have been to make the computationally expensive charge transfer term much more efficient and to interface the general EFP dispersion and exchange repulsion interactions with QM methods. Following a summary of the method and its implementation in generally available computer programs, these most recent new developments are discussed.

TI Low temperature stabilization of cubic (Li7-xAlx/3) La3Zr2O12: role of aluminum during formation SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID GARNET-TYPE LI7LA3ZR2O12; SOLID-ELECTROLYTE; TETRAGONAL LI7LA3ZR2O12; AL; STATE; CONDUCTIVITY; BATTERIES; CERAMICS AB The lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide garnet, Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZ), has received significant attention in recent years due to its high room temperature lithium ion conductivity and its stability against lithium metal. Together these features make it a promising electrolyte candidate for a high energy all solid-state battery. Previous studies have shown that incorporation of aluminum cations during the synthesis stabilizes the higher conductivity cubic phase of LLZ; however the incorporation process and its effect on the phase transition are still unclear. In the present study, we have combined powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Al-27 and Li-7 MAS NMR and high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) to determine the disposition of Al cations during the formation of low temperature cubic LLZ. At temperatures as low as 700 degrees C, the aluminum is incorporated into amorphous or nanocrystalline grain boundary phases. Above 700 degrees C, the Al cations are associated with a poorly crystalline anti-fluorite phase Li5AlO4, composed of molecular [AlO4](5-) anions. This phase then reacts with tetragonal LLZ to form cubic LLZ over a 25 hour period at 850 degrees C. Although the reaction appears complete by powder X-ray diffraction, Al-27 NMR spectra showed overlapping resonances suggesting multiple Al environments due to uneven substitution of the 24d Li(1) site. This was confirmed by high-resolution XRD and was consistent with a series of closely related cubic LLZ phases with slightly different Al concentrations, indicating the slower Al(III) diffusion within the lattice has not reached equilibrium in the time allotted. The disorder over the two crystallographic tetrahedral sites by lithium and aluminum cations at this temperature contributes to the observed lattice enlargement associated with the low temperature cubic phase.

The PdAu nanoparticles are loaded on a carbon support, and their electrocatalytic activities are tested for methanol oxidation in alkaline media. The bimetallic PdAu nanoparticles show superior electrocatalytic activities for methanol oxidation compared with the pure Pd nanoparticles prepared by the same method. The most active Pd30Au70 nanoparticles, with significantly low Pd content, even show remarkably higher activities than the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Various characterization techniques such as TEM, XPS and UV-vis are applied to study the nature of the catalysts. It is concluded that the increased activity is dependant on the unique Pd-rich shell and Au-rich core structure of such bimetallic PdAu particles as well as the nature of the Pd species on the catalyst surface.

The samples were implanted with 250 keV Ne ions at fluences between 1.11 x 10(16) and 2.25 x 10(16) ions per cm(2) at room temperature and then characterized using scanning transmission electron microscopy and high voltage TEM. We observed that this material has a large number of Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) faults, related to the non-stoichiometry of the material, in a random and sometimes complicated arrangement. These faults have a significant impact on the radiation damage evolution of the material. In particular, the faults amorphize more quickly than the surrounding SrTiO3 matrix. We examined the interaction of point defects with the RP faults using atomistic modeling and determined that both the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of defects are significantly influenced by the presence of the faults, providing insight into the experimental observations. We conclude that planar defects such as RP faults can have a significant impact on the radiation damage evolution of SrTiO3 and might be one avenue for controlling radiation tolerance in complex materials.

TI Lanthanides: new metallic cathode materials for organic photovoltaic cells SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID POLYMER SOLAR-CELLS; CONVERSION EFFICIENCY; LAYER; INTERFACE; ENERGY; TRANSMISSION; DEPOSITION; SCATTERING; BLOCKING; ANODE AB Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are compliant with inexpensive, scalable, and environmentally benign manufacturing technologies. While substantial attention has been focused on optimization of active layer chemistry, morphology, and processing, far less research has been directed to understanding charge transport at the interfaces between the electrodes and the active layer. Electrical properties of these interfaces not only impact efficiency, but also play a central role in stability of organic solar cells. Low work function metals are the most widely used materials for the electron transport layer with Ca being the most common material. In bulk heterojunction OPV devices, low work function metals are believed to mirror the role they play in OLEDs, where such metals are used to control carrier selectivity, transport, extraction, and blocking, as well as interface band bending. Despite their advantages, low work function materials are generally prone to reactions with water, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide from air leading to rapid device degradation. Here we discuss the search for a new metallic cathode interlayer material that increases device stability and still provides device efficiency similar to that achieved with a Ca interlayer.

Here we report the first Raman spectroscopic evidence of C2O52- as an active species involved in the CO2-transport process of MOCC membranes exposed to a CO2 atmosphere. The two new broad peaks centered at 1317 cm(-1) and 1582 cm(-1) are identified as the characteristic frequencies of the C2O52- species. The measured characteristic Raman frequencies of C2O52- are in excellent agreement with the DFT-model consisting of six overlapping individual theoretical bands calculated from Li2C2O5 and Na2C2O5.

TI Scenario-based water resources planning for utilities in the Lake Victoria region SO PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY OF THE EARTH LA English DT Article DE Lake Victoria; Utilities; Climate change; Water resources; Planning; WEAP ID DECISION-SUPPORT-SYSTEM; SACRAMENTO VALLEY; MANAGEMENT; IMPACTS; BASIN AB Urban areas in the Lake Victoria (LV) region are experiencing the highest growth rates in Africa. As efforts to meet increasing demand accelerate, integrated water resources management (IWRM) tools provide opportunities for utilities and other stakeholders to develop a planning framework comprehensive enough to include short term (e.g. landuse change), as well as longer term (e.g. climate change) scenarios. This paper presents IWRM models built using the Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) decision support system, for three towns in the LV region - Bukoba (Tanzania), Masaka (Uganda), and Kisii (Kenya). Each model was calibrated under current system performance based on site visits, utility reporting and interviews. Projected water supply, demand, revenues and costs were then evaluated against a combination of climate, demographic and infrastructure scenarios up to 2050. Our results show that water supply in all three towns is currently infrastructure limited; achieving existing design capacity could meet most projected demand until 2020s in Masaka beyond which new supply and conservation strategies would be needed. In Bukoba, reducing leakages would provide little performance improvement in the short-term, but doubling capacity would meet all demands until 2050. In Kisii, major infrastructure investment is urgently needed. In Masaka, streamflow simulations show that wetland sources could satisfy all demand until 2050, but at the cost of almost no water downstream of the intake. These models demonstrate the value of IWRM tools for developing water management plans that integrate hydroclimatology-driven supply to demand projections on a single platform. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

We summarize research performed on C-O-H fluids at nanoscale interfaces in materials of interest to the earth and material sciences (e.g., silica, alumina, zeolites, clays, rocks, etc.), emphasizing those techniques that assess microstructural modification and/or dynamical behaviour such as gravimetric analysis, small-angle (SANS) neutron scattering, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations will be described that provide atomistic characterization of interfacial and confined fluid behaviour as well as aid in the interpretation of the neutron scattering results.

Synthetic brine (0.7 m NaCl) saturated with CO2 with or without CH4 reacted with the powdered materials for 30 to 60 days at 100 bars pressure and 50 - 150 degrees C. The reactivity of the material was monitored by release of elements from the rock to solution over time. A subset of experiments were carried out in which an acidic heavy metals solution was injected into a Weyburn experiment in order to simulate the release of metals to solution through injection of CO2-saturated brines. The results show that the heavy metals do not stay in solution and rapidly decrease in concentration to pre-injection levels after a few days' time. (C) 2012 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Al and Mg concentrations of deep fluids are sensitive to precipitation-dissolution processes, affecting reservoir temperatures estimated with multicomponent geothermometry. The concentrations of major elements such as Na, K, and SiO2 are less sensitive to reequilibration, and thus geothermometers based on these elements are often reliable, but fail when dilution or mixing with saline waters occurs. For these cases, multicomponent geothermometry coupled with optimization provides a more reliable approach to reconstruct the fluid composition at depth and estimate reservoir temperatures.

Significantly enhanced retardation of Sr transport was observed in the column contacted with STWL due to Sr sorption and co-precipitation with neo-formed nitrate-cancrinite. However, the column results also suggest that neo-formed secondary precipitates could behave like native mobile colloids that can enhance Sr transport. Initially immobilized Sr within secondary precipitates could remobilize given a change in the porewater background conditions. The mobility of the neo-formed Sr-bearing precipitates increased with increased solution flow rate. In the field, porewater contents and flow rates can be changed by snowmelt (or storm water) events or artificial infiltration. The increased porewater flow rate caused by these events could affect the mobility of Sr-90-containing secondary precipitates, which can be a potential source for facilitated Sr transport in Hanford Site subsurface environments.

Model concentrations read out at the surface were processed by multicomponent geothermometry to compare inferred reservoir temperatures with true reservoir temperatures of the model. Varying reactive fracture surface areas revealed that re-equilibration does not occur if the effective fracture surface area is 1-3 orders of magnitude lower than the corresponding geometric surface area. Moreover, it could be shown that a full re-equilibration is hindered if the fluid velocity within a fracture is on the order of 1 m/day. It was concluded that such upflow rates and relatively low reactive fracture surface areas are likely occurring at a wide series of geothermal fields, confirming that geothermometers can be used as powerful geochemical exploration tools.

The fabricated protein fibre powders were characterised by scanning electron microscope, particle size distribution and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). The PALS results indicated that the average free volume size in protein fibres increased on their wet mechanical milling with a decrease in the corresponding intensities leading to a resultant decrease in their fractional free volumes.

At a nearby location, a micro grid demonstration which incorporates a 240kW natural gas-powered generator, a 80kW fuel cell, a 50kW PV generator, a lead-acid battery storage system, and hot and cold thermal storage is installed. With the current configuration, the storage system associated with the 500kW PV is able to smooth PV output, to shift the peak generation to the time of peak consumption and also to firm the PV resource as a fixed amount of power. The problem is how the system would be managed in presence of several distributed resources with different ramp rates and capacities and different operation costs, which would reduce the stress placed on the battery. In this paper, the results of the different studies on the system model are discussed. A complete feeder model in GridLAB-D is used to demonstrate several control algorithms. In one scenario, all other available generations are planned to compensate the PV generation ramp rate based on their individual capacity. Each agent will compensate the ramp rate of the total generation of the higher priority agents based on its own capacity. In another scenario, individual agents try to compensate the deficit in power generation scheduled for the whole system. Every particular agent is responsible for compensating the difference between the scheduled and the total generation of the higher priority agents.

The impact of the latest changes, which have resulted in most electrical measurements being done digitally, is explored. It is argued that the process of measurement can be considered equivalent to one of data compression. The smart grid will certainly result in many more signals being made available, and therefore a great deal of data compression will be taking place. Measurements will be made in parts of the power system presently unmonitored, as well as parts that are already well covered by instrumentation. The smart grid engineer must decide what it means to have "useful" information. Unless care is taken, the signal processing may furnish information that is not useful, and may not even make sense. The paper concludes by examining the possibilities of data compression from multiple separate signals. C1 Pacific NW Natl Lab, Richland, WA 99352 USA.

The technique has found wide application as part of the more general topic of system engineering. In this paper, we consider the applicability of TRLs to systems being readied for the smart grid. We find that there are many useful parallels, and much to be gained by this application. However, TRLs were designed for a developer who was also a user. That is not usually the case for smart grid developments. We consider the matter from the point of view of the company responsible for implementation, typically a utility, and we find that there is a need for connecting the many standards in the industry. That connection is explored, and some new considerations are introduced. C1 [Kirkham, Harold; Marinovici, Cristina] Pacific NW Natl Lab, Richland, WA 99352 USA.

In modern integrated systems, there are four potential modes of attack available to an adversary: physical only attack, cyber only attack, physical-enabled cyber attack, cyber-enabled physical attack. Blended attacks involve an adversary working in one domain to reduce system effectiveness in another domain. This enables the attacker to penetrate further into the overall layered defenses. Existing vulnerability assessment (VA) processes and software tools which predict facility vulnerabilities typically evaluate the physical and cyber domains separately. Vulnerabilities which result from the integration of cyber-physical control systems are not well characterized and are often overlooked by existing assessment approaches. In this paper, we modified modification of the timely detection methodology, used for decades in physical security VAs, to include cyber components. The Physical and Cyber Risk Analysis Tool (PACRAT) prototype illustrates an integrated vulnerability assessment that includes cyber-physical interdependencies. Information about facility layout, network topology, and emplaced safeguards is used to evaluate how well suited a facility is to detect, delay, and respond to attacks, to identify the pathways most vulnerable to attack, and to evaluate how often safeguards are compromised for a given threat or adversary type. We have tested the PACRAT prototype on critical infrastructure facilities and the results are promising. Future work includes extending the model to prescribe the recommended security improvements via an automated cost-benefit analysis.

However, the increased scale of the grid and the new types of information it will transmit introduce security risks that cannot be addressed by traditional, centralized security techniques. We propose a scalable approach inspired by the complex-adaptive control systems of social insects, such as ants and bees. These systems emerge from inter-agent communication and the collective application of simple rules. The Digital Ants framework is a bio-inspired framework that uses lightweight, mobile agents. The agents communicate using digital pheromones which enable the agents to alert each other of possible cyber security issues. All communication and coordination is both localized and decentralized thereby allowing the framework to scale across the large numbers of devices that will exist in the Smart Grid. Furthermore, being lightweight makes the agents suitable for implementation on devices with limited computational resources. This paper will provide a brief overview of the Digital Ants framework and then present results from testbed-based demonstrations that show how Digital Ants can identify a cyber security attack scenario against smart meter deployments.

GP IEEE TI Minimization of Impact from Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment to the Electric Grid Using a Dynamically Controlled Battery Bank for Peak Load Shaving SO 2013 IEEE PES INNOVATIVE SMART GRID TECHNOLOGIES (ISGT) LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT Conference of the IEEE PES on Innovative Smart Grid Technologies (ISGT) CY FEB 24-27, 2013 CL Washington, DC SP IEEE PES DE Battery Management Systems; Control System; Scheduling Algorithm; Electric Vehicles; Power System Control AB This research presents a comparison of two control systems for peak load shaving using local solar power generation (i.e., photovoltaic array) and local energy storage (i.e., battery bank). The purpose is to minimize load demand of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) on the electric grid. Static and dynamic control systems are compared to decrease demand from EVSE. Static control of the battery bank is based on charging and discharging to the electric grid at fixed times. Dynamic control, with 15-minute resolution, forecasts EVSE load based on data analysis of collected data. In the proposed dynamic control system, the sigmoid function is used to shave peak loads while limiting scenarios that can quickly drain the battery bank. These control systems are applied to Oak Ridge National Laboratory's (ORNL) solar-assisted electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. This installation is composed of three independently grid-tied sub-systems: (1) 25 EVSE; (2) a 47 kW photovoltaic (PV) array; and (3) a 60 kWh battery bank. The dynamic control system achieved the greatest peak load shaving, up to 34% on a cloudy day and 38% on a sunny day. The static control system was not ideal; peak load shaving was 14.6% on a cloudy day and 12.7% on a sunny day. Simulations based on ORNL data show solar-assisted EV charging stations combined with the proposed dynamic battery control system can negate up to 89% of EVSE load demand on sunny days.

Elasticity values are derived from an augmented Constant Elasticity of Substitution model. Using the calculated elasticity values, the tool can further project changes in electricity loads as a function of electricity prices and temperatures as specified by utilities; conversely, the tool is capable of calculating the pricing structure necessary to achieve utility-defined objectives for peak load reduction and revenue, under a given set of temperatures. Data from the California Statewide Pricing Pilot study was used for tool development and testing. Tool testing was conducted by comparing the loads and shift in loads, calculated from the tool versus observed from the pilot study, resulting in close agreements. Furthermore, use of this tool under three likely scenarios of interest to utilities is presented. C1 [Ton, Dan] US DOE, Washington, DC 20585 USA.

First, thermal models of a/c units and the control logic of the central controller are presented. The objective is to control the aggregated consumption of the thermostatically controlled appliances (TCAs) to follow a desired load profile for providing LBSs. The simulations are carried out in a MATLAB/Simulink environment. A total of 1000 a/c units in their cooling modes are modeled to provide a realistic +/- 1 MW load balancing signal for 24 hours for baseline settings. The impacts of lockout times, ambient temperatures, heat gains, and two-way communication delays on the demand-side management (DSM) performance are modeled. The cost of communication between the TCAs and the central controller, customer comfort, device life cycles, and control errors are used as metrics to evaluate the DSM performance. The results demonstrate that the DSM controller precisely controls the aggregated heating, ventilating, and air conditioning load shapes while maintaining load diversity. The controllable and the measurable load services that the controller provides can be used for many other demand response applications, such as peak shaving, load shifting, and arbitrage.

The special properties of these impurity centers allow robust, room-temperature operation of solid-state qubits and have enabled several remarkable demonstrations in quantum information processing and precision nanoscale sensing. This article reviews the recent advances in magnetic and optical manipulation of the NV center's quantum spin and their importance for prospective applications. We discuss how quantum control of individual centers can be harnessed for the protection of NV-center spin coherence, for multiqubit quantum operations in the presence of decoherence, and for high-fidelity initialization and readout. We also discuss the progress in resonant optical control, which has led to interfaces between spin and photonic qubits and may lead to spin networks based on diamond photonics. Many of these recently developed diamond-based technologies constitute critical components for the future leap toward practical multiqubit devices. C1 [Dobrovitski, V.

However, there are numerous possible variations on the component ions of an IL, only a small fraction of which has actually been synthesized so far. In order to screen for the best solvents it is necessary to adopt a theoretical approach that can quickly compute the CO2 solubility with reasonable quantitative accuracy. Here we report a theoretical prescription that involves computing the chemical potential of CO2 in the solvent phase with a density-functional-theory-based implicit solvation code (COSMO-RS) and computing the gas fugacity with a cubic equation of state. The approach yields excellent agreement with a large volume of experimental data on CO2 solubility in diverse classes of ILs over a wide range of temperatures and pressures. The resulting quantitative trends can be used to discover solvents with much higher CO2 uptake per kg of solvent than has been experimentally achieved so far.

Understanding the behavior of CO2 is important regarding possible applications for treating CO2 in current environmental problems along with the consideration as a renewable energy source. Concerning the ability as a reducible support of TiO2 surface, a fundamental understanding of the interaction between CO2 and TiO2 surface will help extending the possible applications. In the current study, CO2 interaction and dynamic behavior on the TiO2 surface is characterized including the effect of the oxygen vacancy (O-v) defect. Also the coverage dependence of CO2 behavior is investigated since more contribution of the intermolecular interaction among CO2 molecules can be expected as the coverage increasing.

In these catalysts the transformation between H-2 and protons proceeds via an interplay between proton, hydride and electron transfer steps, and involves the interaction of a dihydrogen molecule with both a Ni(II) center and pendent amine bases incorporated in six-membered rings, which function as proton relays. These catalytic platforms are well designed in that when protons are correctly positioned (endo) toward the metal center, catalysis proceeds at very high rates. We show here that the proton removal from the molecular catalysts (for H-2 oxidation) and proton delivery to the molecular catalysts (for H-2 production) are often the rate-determining steps. Furthermore, the presence of multiple protonation sites gives rise to reaction intermediates with protons incorrectly positioned (exo relative to the metal center). These isomers are kinetically easily accessible and are detrimental to catalysis because the isomerization processes necessary to convert them to the catalytically competent endo isomers are slow. In this chapter we give an overview of the major findings of our computational investigation of proton relays for H-2 chemistry and provide guidelines for the design of catalysts with enhanced activity.

Recent expansion of Li-ion batteries into automotive applications has resulted in intense scientific interest. In Li-ion batteries the multitude of reactions occurring under harsh conditions along with difficulties in characterization have made calculations and simulations an important part of this research. Application of atomic level methods has expanded the knowledge concerning the basic chemistry of the Li-ion battery, especially as applied to electrolytes and their relationship to the solid electrolyte interphase (SET), a key component of many Li-ion batteries. In this chapter we review methods for atomic-level computations and simulations of Li-ion battery electrolytes with a focus on the chemistry of the organic solvents of the electrolyte. Each section includes a short overview of computational methodology and some applications, followed by a highlight of recent work. The first section describes how quantum chemical methods can be used to interrogate problems in Li-ion batteries. The highlighted work in this section is a study of the reactions of organic solvent on model systems to form an oligomeric SEI layer. In the next section the use of classical and ab initio molecular dynamics to simulate reactions in the SEI layer is reviewed and two studies are highlighted. The final method is the use of data from ab initio calculations to screen electrolytes for improved reactivity. The chapter closes with a section on the future outlook of atomic-level modeling of Li-ion electrolytes. C1 [Ferguson, Glen; Curtiss, Larry A.] Argonne Natl Lab, Div Mat Sci, Argonne, IL 60439 USA.

TI Impact of a future H-2-based road transportation sector on the composition and chemistry of the atmosphere - Part 1: Tropospheric composition and air quality SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID CMAQ MODELING SYSTEM; HYDROGEN ECONOMY; MOLECULAR-HYDROGEN; CARBON-MONOXIDE; VERSION 4.5; H-2; EMISSIONS; CLIMATE; OZONE; SOIL AB Vehicles burning fossil fuel emit a number of substances that change the composition and chemistry of the atmosphere, and contribute to global air and water pollution and climate change. For example, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted as byproducts of fossil fuel combustion are key precursors to ground-level ozone and aerosol formation. In addition, on-road vehicles are major CO2 emitters. In order to tackle these problems, molecular hydrogen (H-2) has been proposed as an energy carrier to substitute for fossil fuels in the future. However, before implementing any such strategy it is crucial to evaluate its potential impacts on air quality and climate. Here, we evaluate the impact of a future (2050) H-2-based road transportation sector on tropospheric chemistry and air quality for several possible growth and technology adoption scenarios. The growth scenarios are based on the high and low emissions Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Emissions Scenarios, A1FI and B1, respectively. The technological adoption scenarios include H-2 fuel cell and H-2 internal combustion engine options. The impacts are evaluated with the Community Atmospheric Model Chemistry global chemistry transport model (CAM-Chem). Higher resolution simulations focusing on the contiguous United States are also carried out with the Community Multiscale Air Quality Modeling System (CMAQ) regional chemistry transport model. For all scenarios future air quality improves with the adoption of a H-2-based road transportation sector; however, the magnitude and type of improvement depend on the scenario. Model results show that the adoption of H-2 fuel cells would decrease tropospheric burdens of ozone (7%), CO (14%), NOx (16%), soot (17%), sulfate aerosol (4%), and ammonium nitrate aerosol (12%) in the A1FI scenario, and would decrease those of ozone (5%), CO (4%), NOx (11%), soot (7%), sulfate aerosol (4%), and ammonium nitrate aerosol (9%) in the B1 scenario. The adoption of H-2 internal combustion engines would decrease tropospheric burdens of ozone (1%), CO (18%), soot (17%), and sulfate aerosol (3%) in the A1FI scenario, and would decrease those of ozone (1%), CO (7%), soot (7%), and sulfate aerosol (3%) in the B1 scenario. In the future, people residing in the contiguous United States could expect to experience significantly fewer days of elevated levels of pollution if a H-2 fuel cell road transportation sector were to be adopted. Health benefits of transitioning to a H-2 economy for citizens in developing nations, like China and India, will be much more dramatic, particularly in megacities with severe, intensifying air-quality problems.

TI Impact of a future H-2-based road transportation sector on the composition and chemistry of the atmosphere - Part 2: Stratospheric ozone SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID HYDROGEN ECONOMY; NITROGEN-OXIDES; MODEL; TROPOSPHERE; METHANE; CLIMATE; O-3 AB The prospective future adoption of molecular hydrogen (H-2) to power the road transportation sector could greatly improve tropospheric air quality but also raises the question of whether the adoption would have adverse effects on the stratospheric ozone. The possibility of undesirable impacts must be fully evaluated to guide future policy decisions. Here we evaluate the possible impact of a future (2050) H-2-based road transportation sector on stratospheric composition and chemistry, especially on the stratospheric ozone, with the MOZART (Model for OZone And Related chemical Tracers) model. Since future growth is highly uncertain, we evaluate the impact of two world evolution scenarios, one based on an IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) high-emitting scenario (A1FI) and the other on an IPCC low-emitting scenario (B1), as well as two technological options: H-2 fuel cells and H-2 internal combustion engines. We assume a H-2 leakage rate of 2.5% and a complete market penetration of H-2 vehicles in 2050. The model simulations show that a H-2-based road transportation sector would reduce stratospheric ozone concentrations as a result of perturbed catalytic ozone destruction cycles. The magnitude of the impact depends on which growth scenario evolves and which H-2 technology option is applied. For the evolution growth scenario, stratospheric ozone decreases more in the H-2 fuel cell scenarios than in the H-2 internal combustion engine scenarios because of the NOx emissions in the latter case. If the same technological option is applied, the impact is larger in the A1FI emission scenario. The largest impact, a 0.54% decrease in annual average global mean stratospheric column ozone, is found with a H-2 fuel cell type road transportation sector in the A1FI scenario; whereas the smallest impact, a 0.04% increase in stratospheric ozone, is found with applications of H-2 internal combustion engine vehicles in the B1 scenario. The impacts of the other two scenarios fall between the above two boundary scenarios. However, the magnitude of these changes is much smaller than the increases in 2050 stratospheric ozone projected, as stratospheric ozone is expected to recover due to the limits in ozone depleting substance emissions imposed in the Montreal Protocol.

TI Impact of aging mechanism on model simulated carbonaceous aerosols SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID GENERAL-CIRCULATION MODEL; ORGANIC AEROSOL; BLACK CARBON; ELEMENTAL CARBON; TRANSPORT; UNCERTAINTIES; DEPOSITION; PARTICLES; CHEMISTRY; EMISSIONS AB Carbonaceous aerosols including organic carbon and black carbon have significant implications for both climate and air quality. In the current global climate or chemical transport models, a fixed hydrophobic-to-hydrophilic conversion lifetime for carbonaceous aerosol (tau) is generally assumed, which is usually around one day. We have implemented a new detailed aging scheme for carbonaceous aerosols in a chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) to account for both the chemical oxidation and the physical condensation-coagulation effects, where tau is affected by local atmospheric environment including atmospheric concentrations of water vapor, ozone, hydroxyl radical and sulfuric acid. The updated tau exhibits large spatial and temporal variations with the global average (up to 11 km altitude) calculated to be 2.6 days. The chemical aging effects are found to be strongest over the tropical regions driven by the low ozone concentrations and high humidity there. The tau resulted from chemical aging generally decreases with altitude due to increases in ozone concentration and decreases in humidity. The condensation-coagulation effects are found to be most important for the high-latitude areas, in particular the polar regions, where the tau values are calculated to be up to 15 days. When both the chemical aging and condensation-coagulation effects are considered, the total atmospheric burdens and global average lifetimes of BC, black carbon, (OC, organic carbon) are calculated to increase by 9% (3 %) compared to the control simulation, with considerable enhancements of BC and OC concentrations in the Southern Hemisphere. Model evaluations against data from multiple datasets show that the updated aging scheme improves model simulations of carbonaceous aerosols for some regions, especially for the remote areas in the Northern Hemisphere. The improvement helps explain the persistent low model bias for carbonaceous aerosols in the Northern Hemisphere reported in literature. Further model sensitivity simulations focusing on the continental outflow of carbonaceous aerosols demonstrate that previous studies using the old aging scheme could have significantly underestimated the intercontinental transport of carbonaceous aerosols.

TI Growth of atmospheric nano-particles by heterogeneous nucleation of organic vapor SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID AEROSOL FORMATION; BOREAL FOREST; INITIAL STEPS; SULFURIC-ACID; NUCLEI; RATES; CONDENSATION; EVENTS; CRITERION; POLLUTION AB Atmospheric aerosols play critical roles in air quality, public health, and visibility. In addition, they strongly influence climate by scattering solar radiation and by changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. One major but still poorly understood source of atmospheric aerosols is new particle formation, which consists of the formation of thermodynamically stable clusters from trace gas molecules (homogeneous nucleation) followed by growth of these clusters to a detectable size (similar to 3 nm). Because freshly nucleated clusters are most susceptible to loss due to high rate of coagulation with pre-existing aerosol population, the initial growth rate strongly influences the rate of new particle formation and ambient aerosol population. Whereas many field observations and modeling studies indicate that organics enhance the initial growth of the clusters and therefore new particle formation, thermodynamic considerations would suggest that the strong increase of equilibrium vapor concentration due to cluster surface curvature (Kelvin effect) may prevent ambient organics from condensing on these small clusters. Here, the contribution of organics to the initial cluster growth is described as heterogeneous nucleation of organic molecules onto these clusters. We find that the strong gradient in cluster population with respect to its size leads to positive cluster number flux. This positive flux drives the growth of clusters substantially smaller than the Kelvin diameter, conventionally considered the minimum particle size that can be grown through condensation. The conventional approach neglects the contribution from the cluster concentration gradient, and underestimates the cluster survival probabilities by a factor of up to 60 if early growth of clusters is due to both condensation of sulfuric acid and heterogeneous nucleation of organic vapors.

The material possesses a 3-D framework with a 1-D sinusoidal chain and shows high selectivity for CO2 over N-2. The selectivity is attributed to CO2 interacting with two phenyl rings of a V-shaped linker as estimated by the in situ XRD-DSC study.

TI Electrochemical Redox Catalysis for Electrochemical Dehydrogenation of Liquid Hydrogen Carrier Fuels for Energy Storage and Conversion SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID FERROCENE DERIVATIVES; OXIDATION; REDUCTION; HALIDES; LOHC AB The application of redox catalysis to the electrochemical dehydrogenation of organic molecules is of interest for a hybrid flow battery/fuel cell system for energy storage. The process of redox catalysis has been known and well studied theoretically and experimentally for several decades. Studies of redox catalysis can be instrumental in determining mechanistic aspects of electrochemical reactions and in measuring basic thermodynamic and kinetic parameters. Redox catalysis has the ability to reduce the overpotential of the dehydrogenation reaction used in such a system as well as to alter the course of the reaction to achieve higher efficiencies. The mechanism of catalysis can involve an ECE-type reaction or a CEE-type reaction. In either case the acid-base chemistry of the medium is critical. Preliminary results of catalytic current measurements as a function of redox catalyst, base concentration, and base strength are described along with possible reaction mechanisms.

TI Enzyme-Modified Buckypaper for Bioelectrocatalysis SO JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID DIRECT ELECTRON-TRANSFER; GLUCOSE-DEHYDROGENASE; CARBON ELECTRODES; CELL; BIOSENSORS AB Direct bioelectrocatalysis was demonstrated-with pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH) tethered to a range of carbon nanotube (CNT) materials, as evidenced by the generation of anodic current in the presence of glucose. Physical and electrochemical characterization of CNT paper (buckypaper) reveals marked differences attributed to changes in CNT dimensions, including conductivity, packing density, and electrochemically accessible surface area. By using single-walled CNTs as the electrode material, higher current densities per geometric area and lower electron transfer resistances were achieved. In comparison, electrodes made of oxidized CNTs enhanced in the physical adsorption of PQQ, but displayed voltage drops associated with activation losses. In addition, electrode longevity tests revealed that electrochemical activity was retained for two days but decreased by 50% on the third day. PQQ-GDH enzymatic electrodes show potential application as biological fuel cell anodes and will oxidize a range of mono- and disaccharide substrates. (C) 2013 The Electrochemical Society.

Lack of a dependable positioning system can result in disruptions in the situational awareness between the local responders in the field and the emergency command and control centers. Indoor localization and navigation poses many challenges for search and rescue teams (i.e. firefighters) such as inability to determine their exact location and communicate with the incident commander outside the building. Although RF navigation and tracking systems have many advantages over other technologies, the harsh indoor RF environment demands new ways of developing and using RF sensor and communication systems. A new approach, proposed recently [1-4], employs passive RFID for geo-location and tracking of a first responder. However, because conventional passive RFID tags have limited communications ranges, a very large number of these tags will be required to fully cover a large multi-storied building without any dead spots. Another technical challenge for conventional RF communications is the transmission of data from the mobile RFID platform (the tag reader) to the outside command and control node, as the buildings walls impose challenges such as attenuation and multipath. In this paper, we introduce a mobile platform architecture that makes optimal use of long-range passive tags, and takes advantage of the frequency diversity of Ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems for a reliable, robust and yet low-cost infrastructure C1 [Nekoogar, Faranak; Dowla, Farid] Lawrence Livermore Natl Lab, Livermore, CA 94550 USA.

Native SiO2, amine (-NH2) and carboxy (-COO-) modified NP were examined following incubation in mammalian growth media containing fetal bovine serum (FBS) for 1, 4, 24 and 48 hours. The protein corona transition from its early dynamic state to the later more stable corona was evaluated using mass spectrometry. The NP diameter was 22.4 +/- 2.2 nm measured by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). Changes in hydrodynamic diameter and agglomeration kinetics were studied using dynamic light scattering (DLS). The initial surface chemistry of the NP played an important role in the development and final composition of the protein corona, impacting agglomeration kinetics and NP toxicity. Particle toxicity, indicated by changes in membrane integrity and mitochondrial activity, was measured by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and tetrazolium reduction (MTT), respectively, in mouse alveolar macrophages (RAW264.7) and mouse lung epithelial cells (C10). SiO2-COO- NP had a slower agglomeration rate, formed smaller aggregates, and exhibited lower cytotoxicity compared to SiO2 and SiO2-NH2. Composition of the protein corona for each of the three NP was unique, indicating a strong dependence of corona development on NP surface chemistry. This work underscores the need to understand all aspects of NP toxicity, particularly the influence of agglomeration on effective dose and particle size. Furthermore, the interplay between materials and local biological environment is emphasized and highlights the need to conduct toxicity profiling under physiologically relevant conditions that provide an appropriate estimation of material modifications that occur during exposure in natural environments.

The morphology of these 3-D conducting oxide nanoarchitectures can be directed towards either mono-dispersed hollow nanobead matrix or mono-dispersed sponge-like nanoporous matrix by controlling the surface charge of the templating polystyrene (PS) nanobeads, the steric hindrance and hydrolysis rates of the precursors, pH of the solvents etc. during the evaporative co-assembly of the PS beads. These 3-D nanostructured conducting oxide matrices possess high surface area (over 100 m(2) g(-1)) and accessible interconnected pores extending in all three spatial dimensions. By optimizing the temperature profile during calcination, we can obtain large area (of a few cm(2)) and crack-free nanoarchitectured films with thickness over 60 mu m. As such, the sheet resistance of these nanoarchitectured films on FTO glass can reach below 20 Omega per square. The nanoarchitectured FTO electrodes were used as anodes in Li-ion batteries, and they showed an enhanced cycling performance and stability over pure SnO2.

In situ UV-Raman spectroscopy was used to unambiguously detect isothermal graphene growth at high temperatures, measure the growth kinetics with similar to 1 s temporal resolution, and estimate the fractional precipitation upon cooldown. Optical reflectivity and videography provided much faster temporal resolution. Both the growth kinetics and the fractional isothermal precipitation were found to be governed by the C2H2 partial pressure in the CVD pulse for a given film thickness and temperature, with up to similar to 94% of graphene growth occurring isothermally within 1 second at 800 degrees C at high partial pressures. At lower partial pressures, isothermal graphene growth is shown to continue 10 seconds after the gas pulse. These flux-dependent growth kinetics are described in the context of a dissolution/precipitation model, where carbon rapidly dissolves into the Ni film and later precipitates driven by gradients in the chemical potential. The combination of pulsed-CVD and real-time optical diagnostics opens new opportunities to understand and control the fast, sub-second growth of graphene on various substrates at high temperatures.

TI Surface mediated assembly of small, metastable gold nanoclusters SO NANOSCALE LA English DT Article ID CO OXIDATION; CLUSTERS; SIZE; MONODISPERSE; IDENTIFICATION; NANOPARTICLES; TEMPERATURE; REACTIVITY; DEPOSITION; CATALYSTS AB The unique properties of metallic nanoclusters are attractive for numerous commercial and industrial applications but are generally less stable than nanocrystals. Thus, developing methodologies for stabilizing nanoclusters and retaining their enhanced functionality is of great interest. We report the assembly of PPh3-protected Au-9 clusters from a heterogeneous mixture into films consisting of sub 3 nm nanocluster assemblies. The depositing nanoclusters are metastable in solution, but the resulting nanocluster assemblies are stabilized indefinitely in air or fresh solvent. The films exhibit distinct structure from Au nanoparticles observed by X-ray diffraction, and film dissolution data support the preservation of small nanoclusters. UV-Vis spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron microscopy are used to elucidate information regarding the nanocluster formation and assembly mechanism. Preferential deposition of nanocluster assemblies can be achieved on multiple substrates, including polymer, Cr, Si, SiO2, SiNx, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Unlike other vapor phase coating processes, nanocluster assembly on the MIL-68(In) MOF crystal is capable of preferentially coating the external surface and stabilizing the crystal structure in hydrothermal conditions, which should enhance their storage, separation and delivery capabilities.

In addition, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, injury results in over 31 million emergency department visits annually. Minimizing the resuscitation period in major abdominal injuries increases survival rates by correcting impaired tissue oxygen delivery. Optimization of resuscitation requires a monitoring method to determine sufficient tissue oxygenation. Oxygenation can be assessed by determining the adequacy of tissue perfusion. In this work, we present the design of a wireless perfusion and oxygenation sensor based on photoplethysmography. Through optical modeling, the benefit of using the visible wavelengths 470, 525 and 590nm (around the 525nm hemoglobin isobestic point) for intestinal perfusion monitoring is compared to the typical near infrared (NIR) wavelengths (805nm isobestic point) used in such sensors. Specifically, NIR wavelengths penetrate through the thin intestinal wall (similar to 4mm) leading to high background signals. However, these visible wavelengths have two times shorter penetration depth that the NIR wavelengths. Monte-Carlo simulations show that the transmittance of the three selected wavelengths is lower by 5 orders of magnitude depending on the perfusion state. Due to the high absorbance of hemoglobin in the visible range, the perfusion signal carried by diffusely reflected light is also enhanced by an order of magnitude while oxygenation signal levels are maintained. In addition, short source-detector separations proved to be beneficial for limiting the probing depth to the thickness of the intestinal wall.

The development of cryogenic permanent magnet undulators has started and the first devices, employing period lengths around 18mm, have been installed in 3rd generation storage rings. Ambitious magnet designs permit even smaller period lengths which improve their performance further.

Useful harmonics extend into the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV). Based on FEL model calculations validated using this facility, we have designed both an oscillator-based VUV-FEL that would produce 6 x 10(12) coherent (0.5% BW) 100 eV photons per pulse at multi-MHz repetition rates in the fundamental, and a dual FEL configuration that would allow simultaneous lasing lasing at THz and UV wavelengths. The VUV-FEL would utilize a novel high gain, low Q cavity, while the THz source would be an FEL oscillator with a short wiggler providing diffraction limited pulses with pulse energy exceeding 50 microJoules. The THz source would use the exhaust beam from a UV FEL. Such multiphoton capabilities would provide unique opportunities for out of equilibrium dynamical studies at time-scales down to 50 fs. The fully coherent nature of all these sources results in peak and average brightness values that are many orders of magnitude higher than storage rings. C1 [Benson, S. V.; Douglas, D.

Using a dedicated synchrotron radiation calculation code, it is possible to calculate the single electron emission, as well as the thick electron beam emission. Two methods will be introduced. The first simulates synchrotron radiation using the spatial electron distribution for the positions of the rays and the thick electron beam spectral-angular distribution in the far field for their directions and their energies. The second method derives the variation of the single electron spectral-angular distribution with respect to the electron direction and the electron energy, and simulates the rays emitted by each electron. A preprocessor for SHADOW has been developed to read the intensity distribution from an HDF5 file generated by SRW. The final rays have been used to simulate future beamlines and have been cross checked with the wavefront propagation method.

If such a scheme is applied after a perfect monochromator and without any focusing/transport optics in the optical path, the interpretation of the measured interference pattern is relatively straightforward and can be done in terms of the basic parameters of the source [2]. However, if the interference scheme is used after some focusing optics, e. g. close to the X-ray beam waist, the visibility of fringes can be significantly affected by the new shape of the focused beam phase-space. At the same time, optical element imperfections still have a negative impact on the transverse coherence. In such situations, which are frequently encountered in experiments at beamlines, the quantitative interpretation of a measured interference pattern is not straightforward. Here we show that this can nevertheless be done by using partially-coherent synchrotron radiation wavefront propagation simulations. The results obtained from measurements, performed at the 32-ID undulator beamline of the Advanced Photon Source, and wavefront propagation based simulations show, in particular, that new generation 1D Beryllium Compound Refractive Lenses [3, 4] do not reduce the X-ray transverse coherence in any significant manner.

This enables close matching between the gaps and the vertical "envelope" of electron beam motion in a storage ring straight section (carefully satisfying the associated vertical "stay clear" constraint) and, at the same time, precise tuning of all the segments to the same fundamental photon energy. Placing together undulator segments with different periods may introduce small kicks to electron trajectories at the segment junctions, which can be easily compensated, without introducing any significant radiation phase error, by active correction magnets or by special design of terminating magnets in the segments. Thanks to this, the entire multi-segment structure can operate as one long undulator. On the other hand, since the vertical gaps in segments located close to straight section center can be smaller than at extremities, such structure can offer better magnetic performance, compared to the case of a standard undulator with constant gap (and period) over its length. We present magnetic field, radiation flux and brightness calculation results for such segmented adaptive-gap in-vacuum undulators if used in low-beta straight sections of NSLS-II, and demonstrate their gain in spectral performance, especially in hard X-ray range, over standard room-temperature and even cryo-cooled in-vacuum undulators.

It created demand on beam time that is often left unfulfilled. Here we report experimental measurements of ultra-thin silicon single-crystal membranes for potentially beam-sharing the LCLS beam. The samples included the (111), (220), and (400) orientations with thicknesses ranging from 5 to 20 m. Both high-resolution rocking curves and topographic data were first obtained using synchrotron X-rays, demonstrating near ideal diffraction qualities. Subsequent tests using the full LCLS beam revealed lattice distortions from beam-induced membrane vibrations, which were shown to be effectively reduced by ambient air and smaller membrane dimensions. High diffraction quality thin-diamonds in the (111) orientation are also being pursued as a parallel effort. Both approaches are paving a way for a practical beam-sharing implementation at LCLS in the near future. C1 [Feng, Y.; Zhu, D.; Lemke, H.; Chollet, M.; Fritz, D. M.; Robert, A.; Hastings, J.

Due to the unique bunch pattern used for normal APS operations and its ultimate capabilities, the APS has chosen superconducting technology for its future hard x-ray undulator sources. In the last several years, the APS in collaboration with the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics has being developing the technology for planar, small-period superconducting undulators (SCUs). These developments include the design and construction of several prototypes and the construction of the necessary mechanical, vacuum, and cryogenic infrastructure at the APS site. Several prototypes of the SCU magnetic structure have been built and tested. The first SCU is assembled and will be installed in the APS storage ring at the end of 2012. Expected SCU performance in terms of x-ray brightness should noticeably exceed that of existing APS undulators. Immediately after commissioning, the SCU will be used at APS Sector 6 as the radiation source for high-energy x-ray studies.

A key aspect of the beamline design is configuration flexibility, providing as wide as possible range of photon energy, beam size, and divergence, including the optimum trading of SR flux to a required degree of coherence. For this application we propose to use the chromatic properties of compound refractive lens (for hard x-ray) or zone plate (for soft x-ray) to provide band-pass energy filtering and variable spatial coherence. Using such a scheme, it is possible to efficiently vary the transverse coherence from 10 mu m to 10 mm at similar to 1% monochromaticity. The flux extracted permits real-time phase imaging and at-wavelength metrology, even at the bending magnet beamline. C1 [Kaznatcheev, K.; Chubar, O.; Keister, J.

An X-ray beam shutter is an example of such components. Typically made of GlidCop, it is used, as needed, to block the X-ray beam from entering the experimental area. Analyses show that the planned 50% increase in storage ring beam current (and thus beam heat load) at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) will result in plastic strain in the shutter limiting its operational life. In order to develop a predictive model to estimate the number of cycles to failure, cooled GlidCop samples were thermally cycled 10,000 times under the high heat load of an X-ray beam from two inline APS undulators. Samples are examined for cracks, and crack size information is extracted for use in the model. In this paper, following some introductory remarks, we report on the characterization of the micron-size fatigue cracks in a sample GlidCop using high-energy X-ray absorption and phase-contrast tomography. It is shown that the current set up at beamline 1-ID at the APS is capable of nondestructive reconstruction of internal structure of the fatigued part with a resolution of 3 mu m, which may further be improved to about 1 mu m.

The monochromator consists of two separated Si crystals with diffraction surfaces oriented along (111), diffracting vertically to produce a fixed 35 mm beam offset. Rocking curves were measured for the beam footprint on the first crystal lying both above and away from cooling channels. The beam was produced by two collinear APS undulators type A, each 2.4 m long with 3.3 cm period. Most of the data were obtained for a monochromator set to Bragg diffract at 8 keV for the Si (111) reflection. Through the use of aluminium filters between two sequential ion chambers, we also measured the Si (333) reflection diffracting at 24 keV. We measured the FWHM of rocking curves with either one or both undulators tuned so that the energy of the 1st harmonic matched the Si (111) Bragg energy.

The sample was imaged at 400 nm wavelength with a fully coherent laser source and at 0.41 nm wavelength in partially coherent illumination. The comparison of the two experiments, completed with theoretical simulations, will highlight the influence of the degree of spatial coherence in the reconstruction process.

Two identical APPLE-II undulators will be operated in two different modes: canted and phased. In the canted mode, one beam will be directed to the coherence branch and the other to the fast polarization switching branch. In the phased mode, the two undulators will be operated as a single device to deliver the highest coherence flux to the coherence branch. The monochromator for the coherence branch is a focusing variable line spacing plane grating monochromator designed to deliver a moderate resolving power (2000 to 3000). The horizontal focusing onto the exit slit will be performed with a cylindrical bendable mirror located downstream of the monochromator and having similar demagnification as the monochromator.

The main goals are the search for the QCD critical point and to find signatures for a phase transition between the hadron gas and the QGP phase. For this purpose several observables like higher moments of net-proton distributions, RCP of charged hadrons or the elliptic flow v(2) are studied. Further new observations and results like the centrality dependence of chemical freeze-out parameters (T-ch and mu B) or di-electron spectra in comparison with model calculations are discussed.

The undulator beamline delivers maximum coherent flux to two experiment programs. One is for soft x-ray coherent scattering and correlation studies, the other is for soft x-ray diffractive imaging using ptychographic reconstruction techniques. The energy resolution is sufficient for NEXAFS spectroscopy with full polarization control, from below the carbon edge to 2500eV. New instrumentation is planned for wavelength limited 2D imaging and 3D imaging at spatial resolution better than 10nm and for coherent scattering studies with a variety of sample environments including strong magnetic fields and cryogenic temperatures. High speed CCD detectors will make optimum use of the available flux on dedicated data transmission networks.

However, it is not possible to meet requirements in sub-nanometer positioning resolution, high tilting stiffness, and microradian-level straightness of trajectory repeatability with a simple rolling element guiding system. To meet those requirements and still allow for large travel range, we have designed a novel precision flexural linear stage. It is capable of sub-nanometer positioning resolution and 12-mm travel range for synchrotron radiation instrumentation applications. The design and preliminary test results for a prototype stage system are discussed in this paper. C1 [Shu, D.; Kearney, S.; Preissner, C.] Argonne Natl Lab, Adv Photon Source, Argonne, IL 60439 USA.

To meet these important scientific needs, a prototype of a novel ultrahigh-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering spectrometer system has been designed and constructed at undulator-based beamline 30-ID at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory. This prototype is designed to meet challenging mechanical and optical specifications for performing so-called CDFDW angular-dispersive x-ray crystal optics, which include a central ultra-thin CFW crystal and a pair of dispersing elements. The abbreviation CDFDW stands for: C - collimating crystal, D - dispersing-element crystal (two D-crystals are used in each CDFDW), F - anomalous transmission filter, and W - wavelength-selector crystal [1]. The mechanical design of the ultrahigh-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering spectrometer, as well as the preliminary test results of its precision positioning performance are presented in this paper.

The novel monochromator is ultrahigh-vacuum compatible to meet the LCLS linear accelerator vacuum environmental requirement. A special graphite holder was designed for strain-free mount of the 110-mu m thin synthetic diamond crystal plate provided by Technological Institute for Super-hard and Novel Carbon Materials of Russia (TISNCM). An in-vacuum multi-axis precision positioning mechanism is designed to manipulate the thin-film diamond holder with resolutions and stabilities required by the hard x-ray self-seeding physics. Optical encoders, limit switches, and hardware stops are established in the mechanism to ensure system reliability and to meet the accelerator personal and equipment safety interlock requirements. Molybdenum shields are installed in the monochromator to protect the encoders and associated electronics from radiation damage. Mechanical specifications, designs, and preliminary test results of the diamond monochromator are presented in this paper.

The modeling software operates directly on the server and can be accessed remotely either from web browsers or from user software. In the later case the server can be deployed as a software library or a data fitting engine. As the server recently surpassed the milestones of 15 years online and 1.5 million calculations, it accumulated a number of technical solutions that are discussed in this paper. The developed approaches to detecting physical model limits and user calculations failures, solutions to spam and firewall problems, ways to involve the community in replenishing databases and methods to teach users automated access to the server programs may be helpful for X-ray researchers interested in using the server or sharing their own software online.

However, realization of the MBG concept requires nano-scale precision in fabrication of a saw-tooth substrate with atomically smooth facets, and reproduction of the blazed groove profile in the course of conformal growth of a multilayer coating. We report on recent progress achieved in the development, fabrication, and characterization of ultra-dense MBGs for EUV and soft x-rays. As a result of thorough optimization of all steps of the fabrication process, an absolute diffraction efficiency as high as 44% and 12.7% was achieved for a 5250 l/mm grating in the EUV and soft x-ray regions respectively. This work now shows a direct route to achieving high diffraction efficiency in high order at wavelengths throughout the soft x-ray energy range with revolutionary applications in synchrotron science.

For ex situ tuning of the benders for optimal beam-line performance, we use a revised version of the method of characteristic functions recently developed at the ALS optical metrology laboratory. At-wavelength optimal tuning of bendable optics consists of a series of wavefront-sensing tests with increasing accuracy and sensitivity, including modified scanning-slit Hartmann tests. The methods have been experimentally validated at ALS test beamline 5.3.1 and the micro-diffraction beamline 12.3.2 in applications to optimally set bendable Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors designed for sub-micron focusing.

We briefly review the nature of the bending and analyze a generalized solution of the bending equation for a side-profiled elliptically bent mirror substrate. A scaling rule is derived to understand a range of reliable tunability of the bendable optics for different applications (e.g., different focal distances and grazing incidence angles). Original design approaches are developed for assembly of bendable mirrors with minimal spurious stress and misalignment and for final precision compensation of the residual stress, substrate twist, and roll-off misalignment of the mirrors. Procedures used for optimal shaping and alignment of bendable optics at the ALS optical metrology laboratory are also briefly reviewed. C1 [Yashchuk, V. V.; Church, M.; Artemiev, N.

The aim of the present work is to make a comparative study of the different methods of speciation using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. For this purpose, mixtures have been prepared by mixing CuCl2 and CuCl in different proportions. The X-ray absorption spectra have been recorded at the copper K-edge in the mixtures and the two chlorides separately. The different characteristic features of the XANES spectra of the two chlorides, useful for speciation, have been identified. Firstly, Principal component analysis (PCA) and target transformation (TT) methods have been used to check the number and identity of components in the mixtures. After the identification of the components, the percentages of the species in the mixtures have been quantitatively determined by linear combination fitting (LCF) of XANES, derivative XANES, and EXAFS (k(3)chi and k(2)chi) spectra. The other methods of speciation which have been employed are normalized difference absorption edge spectra analysis (NDAES), methods based on derivative XANES spectra of species and the method based on the relative position of the absorption edge. Results obtained from these methods have been compared and their relative merits discussed. It is probably for the first time that such a study has been done.

For these applications the material must be doped to produce the desired magnetic properties, and it is essential to determine the fate of the dopants in order to optimize the materials and understand the magnetic measurements. This paper summarizes some recent XAFS studies of a series of In2O3 films doped with V, Cr, Co, and Fe. XAFS is shown to be a powerful tool to characterize these materials, providing valence information, and detecting both substitutional doping as well as second phase formation. V and Cr are found to take up well ordered substitutional sites with no evidence for second phase formation. For Co the substitutional sites were much more disordered than for V or Cr. Fe doped samples also displayed a range of results with well-ordered substitutional sites in some samples, while others showed extensive second phase formation including magnetite and Fe metal.

LARCH is written using Python and its packages for scientific programming, which gives significant improvements over IFEFFIT in the ability to handle multi-dimensional and large data sets, write complex analysis scripts, visualize data, add new functionality, and customize existing capabilities. Like the earlier version, LARCH can run from an interactive command line or in batch-mode, but LARCH can also be run as a server and accessed from clients using standard inter-process communication techniques available in a variety of computer languages. LARCH is freely available under an open source license.

S. Army uses BA5590 Lithium Sulfur Dioxide primary batteries for portable electronic systems. There remains a need, however, for technology that can rapidly assess these batteries and estimate their remaining state of health after being used without degrading them to determine if there is remaining useful life for additional missions. This allows the full range of charge to be consumed before the battery is recycled or disposed. Impedance spectroscopy measurements have been shown to be a useful diagnostic tool, but standard methods cannot be applied to the BA5590 batteries because of the up-front electronics. The BA5590 module is diode-coupled and a charge-neutral excitation signal would be half-wave rectified and completely corrupt the results. However, a rapid impedance spectrum measurement technique has been developed that can be used for the BA5590s based on the addition of a small discharge bias load superimposed on the sinusoidal excitation signal. The feasibility of this approach was initially simulated and then successfully applied to cell strings on four fresh BA5590 modules. The results clearly showed consistent and repeatable impedance spectra with no significant impact on the SOC as a result of the measurement. Details of this measurement technique and discussion of the preliminary results are presented. C1 [Christophersen, Jon P.] Idaho Natl Lab, POB 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415 USA.

Devices show little response to 10 keV x-rays up to 10 Mrad(Si). Co-60 gamma rays and 4.5 MeV protons did not change the resistances significantly at levels up to 2.5 Mrad(Si) and 5 Mrad(Si) respectively. 105 MeV and 480 MeV protons cause switching of the memristors from high to low resistance states in some cases, but do not exhibit a consistent degradation. 800 keV silicon ions are observed to cause resistance degradation, with an inverse dependence of resistance on oxygen vacancy density. Variation between different devices appears to be a key factor in determining the electrical response resulting from irradiation. The proposed degradation mechanism likely involves the creation of oxygen vacancies, but a better fundamental understanding of switching is needed before a definitive understanding of radiation degradation can be achieved.

To help design next-generation materials for aerospace systems, understanding the physics of material structures at the atomic scale is achieved through molecular dynamics simulations run on tens to hundreds of millions of atoms. Similarly, to understand the formation of the cosmos, galaxy formation simulations are run using tens to hundreds of millions of particles. From the atomically small to the astronomically large, these simulations produce immense amounts of data. While these simulations have been shown to produce excellent results matching real-world observations, the daunting Big Data that they produce can be difficult to work with. Numerical analysis is useful for processing this large quantity of data, but visual analysis is also important in the search for identifying interesting results and formulating new hypotheses to explore. Though many level-of-detail techniques exist for structured and geometric data, allowing scalable interactive visualization, unstructured particle data is not suitable for these techniques. Therefore, we have developed a new technique for scalable visualization of massive particle datasets. The technique is different from previous level-of-detail techniques which create progressive approximations of the data itself. Instead, the technique creates a volumetric representation of the data first and then creates a hierarchy of progressive approximations of the volumetric representation. An adaptive volume rendering technique is also presented that progressively refines the volume hierarchy depending on the view of the data and the time available to load data. The technique provides a scalable framework, allowing various levels of detail to be loaded while maintaining interactivity. This paper describes the rendering techniques used to produce the 3D volume hierarchy as well as the adaptive volume renderer used for interactive visualization. Three case studies are discussed as examples of interactive visualization. Two are from a molecular dynamics simulation, one containing approximately 22 million particles per time-step over 100 time-steps and one containing a range of particles containing a total of 230 million particles over 9 time steps. The third example is a single time step containing 128 million particle from a cosmology simulation. C1 [Kimball, Jason] Univ Calif San Diego, Dept Comp Sci & Engn, La Jolla, CA 92093 USA.

Traditional magnetic hard drives, NAND flash, DRAM, and higher level caches (L2 and up) will be replaced with a single high performance memory device. The Storage Class Memory paradigm will require high speed (< 100 ns read/write), excellent endurance (> 1012), nonvolatility (retention > 10 years), and low switching energies (< 10 pJ per switch). The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) has recently evaluated several potential candidates SCM technologies, including Resistive (or Redox) RAM, Spin Torque Transfer RAM (STT-MRAM), and phase change memory (PCM). All of these devices show potential well beyond that of current flash technologies and research efforts are underway to improve the endurance, write speeds, and scalabilities to be on-par with DRAM. This progress has interesting implications for space electronics: each of these emerging device technologies show excellent resistance to the types of radiation typically found in space applications. Commercially developed, high density storage class memory-based systems may include a memory that is physically radiation hard, and suitable for space applications without major shielding efforts. This paper reviews the Storage Class Memory concept, emerging memory devices, and possible applicability to radiation hardened electronics for space. C1 Sandia Natl Labs, Albuquerque, NM 87185 USA.

The algorithm employs the method of front tracking for the propagation of material interfaces and the embedded interface method for solving elliptic-parabolic problems associated with approximations of incompressible fluids and low magnetic Reynolds numbers. The use of embedded interface method supports arbitrary discontinuities of density and other physics properties across interfaces and significantly improves methods that smear interface discontinuities across several grid cells. The numerical algorithm has been implemented as an MHD extension of FronTier, a parallel front tracking hydrodynamic code, verified using asymptotic solutions and validated through the comparison with experiments on liquid metal jets. The FronTier-MHD code has been used for simulations of liquid mercury targets for the proposed muon collider/neutrino factory, ablation of pellets in tokamaks, and processes in hybrid magnetoinertial fusion.

While several fast direct solvers exist for the basic 1-level Toeplitz matrices, in the multilevel case an iterative solver provides the most general and practical solution. This paper proposes several parallelization techniques that enable an efficient implementation of the conjugate gradient algorithm for solving multilevel Toeplitz systems on distributed-memory machines. The two major differences between this implementation and that for a general sparse linear solver are (1) a communication-efficient approach to handle data expansion and truncation and data transpose simultaneously; (2) the interleaving of matrix-vector multiplications and vector inner product calculations to reduce synchronization cost and latency. Similar ideas can be applied to the implementation of other iterative methods for Toeplitz systems that are not necessarily symmetric positive definite. Scaling results are shown to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed techniques. C1 [Chen, Jie] Argonne Natl Lab, Div Math & Comp Sci, Argonne, IL 60517 USA. [Li, Tom L.

Often this analysis cannot be done in situ because it requires calculating time-series statistics from state sampled over the entire length of the run or analyzing the relationship between similar time series from previous simulations or observations. Many of the tools used for this postprocessing are not themselves high-performance applications, but the new Parallel Gridded Analysis Library (ParGAL) provides high-performance data-parallel versions of several common analysis algorithms for data from a structured or unstructured grid simulation. The library builds on several scalable systems, including the Mesh Oriented DataBase (MOAB), a library for representing mesh data that supports structured, unstructured finite element, and polyhedral grids; the Parallel-NetCDF (PNetCDF) library; and Intrepid, an extensible library for computing operators (such as gradient, curl, and divergence) acting on discretized fields. We have used ParGAL to implement a parallel version of the NCAR Command Language (NCL) a scripting language widely used in the climate community for analysis and visualization. The data-parallel algorithms in ParGAL/ParNCL are both higher performing and more flexible than their serial counterparts.

As the size and complexity of this data increases, the task of data analysis becomes more challenging. Determining complex relationships among variables requires new algorithm development. Addressing the challenge of handling large data necessitates that algorithm implementations target high performance computing platforms. In this work we present a technique that allows a user to study the interactions among multiple variables in the same spatial extents as the underlying data. The technique is implemented in an existing parallel analysis and visualization framework in order that it be applicable to the largest datasets. The foundation of our approach is to classify data points via inclusion in, or distance to, multivariate representations of relationships among a subset of the variables of a dataset. We abstract the space in which inclusion is calculated and through various space transformations we alleviate the necessity to consider variables' scales and distributions when making comparisons. We apply this approach to the problem of highlighting variations in climate model ensembles. C1 [Sisneros, Robert; Semeraro, B.

This growth in complexity is creating a widening gap between the data being produced and the ability to analyze the datasets. Parallel computing tools are necessary to analyze, compare, and interpret the simulation data. The Parallel Climate Analysis Toolkit (ParCAT) provides basic tools to efficiently use parallel computing techniques to make analysis of these datasets manageable. The toolkit provides the ability to compute spatio-temporal means, differences between runs or differences between averages of runs, and histograms of the values in a data set. ParCAT is implemented as a command-line utility written in C. This allows for easy integration in other tools and allows for use in scripts. This also makes it possible to run ParCAT on many platforms from laptops to supercomputers. ParCAT outputs NetCDF files so it is compatible with existing utilities such as Panoply and UV-CDAT. This paper describes ParCAT and presents results from some example runs on the Titan system at ORNL. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Our goal is to find ways that PCA can be used with this massive data set to automate the process of detecting forest disturbance and attributing it to particular agents. We briefly describe the parallel computational approaches we used to make PCA feasible, and present some examples in which we have used it to visualize the seasonal vegetation phenology for the CONUS and to detect areas where anomalous NDVI traces suggest potential threats to forest health.

Specialized ribonucleases and RNA-binding proteins govern the production and action of small regulatory RNAs. After initial processing in the nucleus by Drosha, precursor microRNAs (pre-miRNAs) are transported to the cytoplasm, where Dicer cleavage generates mature microRNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs). These double-stranded products assemble with Argonaute proteins such that one strand is preferentially selected and used to guide sequence-specific silencing of complementary target mRNAs by endonucleolytic cleavage or translational repression. Molecular structures of Dicer and Argonaute proteins, and of RNA-bound complexes, have offered exciting insights into the mechanisms operating at the heart of RNA-silencing pathways.

The later analyses have made it possible to develop powerful tools for structure prediction and optimization in the absence of experimental data. In recent years, a synergy between these computational methods for crystallographic structure determination and structure prediction and optimization has begun to be exploited. We review some of the advances in the algorithms used for crystallographic structure determination in the Phenix and Crystallography & NMR System software packages and describe how methods from ab initio structure prediction and refinement in Rosetta have been applied to challenging crystallographic problems. The prospects for future improvement of these methods are discussed. C1 [Adams, Paul D.] Univ Calif Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley Natl Lab, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA.

Here, we present a coherent synthesis of SAXS theory and experiment with a focus on analytical tools for accurate, objective, and high-throughput investigations. Perceived SAXS limitations are considered in light of its origins, and we present current methods that extend SAXS data analysis to the super-resolution regime. In particular, we discuss hybrid structural methods, illustrating the role of SAXS in structure refinement with NMR and ensemble refinement with single-molecule FRET. High-throughput genomics and proteomics are far outpacing macromolecular structure determinations, creating information gaps between the plethora of newly identified genes, known structures, and the structure-function relationship in the underlying biological networks. SAXS can bridge these information gaps by providing a reliable, high-throughput structural characterization of macromolecular complexes under physiological conditions.

TI Ground-based remote sensing of thin clouds in the Arctic SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID MIXED-PHASE CLOUDS; LIQUID WATER; PART I; RADIATION PROPERTIES; OPTICAL-CONSTANTS; BEAUFORT SEA; ICE-CLOUD; SURFACE; SHEBA; STRATUS AB This paper describes a method for using interferometer measurements of downwelling thermal radiation to retrieve the properties of single-layer clouds. Cloud phase is determined from ratios of thermal emission in three "micro-windows" at 862.5 cm(-1), 935.8 cm(-1), and 988.4cm(-1) where absorption by water vapour is particularly small. Cloud microphysical and optical properties are retrieved from thermal emission in the first two of these micro-windows, constrained by the transmission through clouds of primarily stratospheric ozone emission at 1040 cm(-1). Assuming a cloud does not approximate a blackbody, the estimated 95 % confidence retrieval errors in effective radius r(e), visible optical depth tau, number concentration N, and water path WP are, respectively, 10%, 20%, 38 % (55 % for ice crystals), and 16%. Applied to data from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement programme (ARM) North Slope of Alaska Adjacent Arctic Ocean (NSA-AAO) site near Barrow, Alaska, retrievals show general agreement with both ground-based microwave radiometer measurements of liquid water path and a method that uses combined shortwave and microwave measurements to retrieve r(e), tau and N. Compared to other retrieval methods, advantages of this technique include its ability to characterise thin clouds year round, that water vapour is not a primary source of retrieval error, and that the retrievals of microphysical properties are only weakly sensitive to retrieved cloud phase. The primary limitation is the inapplicability to thicker clouds that radiate as blackbodies and that it relies on a fairly comprehensive suite of ground based measurements. C1 [Garrett, T.

TI A 4-D climatology (1979-2009) of the monthly tropospheric aerosol optical depth distribution over the Mediterranean region from a comparative evaluation and blending of remote sensing and model products SO ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article ID GLOBAL 3-DIMENSIONAL MODEL; SAHARAN DUST; ATMOSPHERIC CORRECTION; CARBONACEOUS AEROSOLS; AERONET OBSERVATIONS; SYSTEM MODEL; OCEAN; SATELLITE; SIMULATIONS; SEAWIFS AB Since the 1980s several spaceborne sensors have been used to retrieve the aerosol optical depth (AOD) over the Mediterranean region. In parallel, AOD climatologies coming from different numerical model simulations are now also available, permitting to distinguish the contribution of several aerosol types to the total AOD. In this work, we perform a comparative analysis of this unique multiyear database in terms of total AOD and of its apportionment by the five main aerosol types (soil dust, sea-salt, sulfate, black and organic carbon). We use 9 different satellite-derived monthly AOD products: NOAA/AVHRR, SeaWiFS (2 products), TERRA/MISR, TERRA/MODIS, AQUA/MODIS, ENVISAT/MERIS, PARASOL/POLDER and MSG/SEVIRI, as well as 3 more historical datasets: NIMBUS7/CZCS, TOMS (onboard NIMBUS7 and Earth- Probe) and METEOSAT/MVIRI. Monthly model datasets include the aerosol climatology from Tegen et al. (1997), the climate-chemistry models LMDz-OR-INCA and RegCM-4, the multi-model mean coming from the ACCMIP exercise, and the reanalyses GEMS and MACC. Ground-based Level-2 AERONET AOD observations from 47 stations around the basin are used here to evaluate the model and satellite data. The sensor MODIS (on AQUA and TERRA) has the best average AOD scores over this region, showing a relevant spatio-temporal variability and highlighting high dust loads over Northern Africa and the sea (spring and summer), and sulfate aerosols over continental Europe (summer). The comparison also shows limitations of certain datasets (especially MERIS and SeaWiFS standard products). Models reproduce the main patterns of the AOD variability over the basin. The MACC reanalysis is the closest to AERONET data, but appears to underestimate dust over Northern Africa, where RegCM-4 is found closer to MODIS thanks to its interactive scheme for dust emissions. The vertical dimension is also investigated using the CALIOP instrument. This study confirms differences of vertical distribution between dust aerosols showing a large vertical spread, and other continental and marine aerosols which are confined in the boundary layer. From this compilation, we propose a 4-D blended product from model and satellite data, consisting in monthly time series of 3-D aerosol distribution at a 50 km horizontal resolution over the Euro-Mediterranean marine and continental region for the 2003-2009 period. The product is based on the total AOD from AQUA/MODIS, apportioned into sulfates, black and organic carbon from the MACC reanalysis, and into dust and sea-salt aerosols from RegCM-4 simulations, which are distributed vertically based on CALIOP climatology. We extend the 2003-2009 reconstruction to the past up to 1979 using the 2003-2009 average and applying the decreasing trend in sulfate aerosols from LMDz-OR-INCA, whose AOD trends over Europe and the Mediterranean are median among the ACCMIP models. Finally optical properties of the different aerosol types in this region are proposed from Mie calculations so that this reconstruction can be included in regional climate models for aerosol radiative forcing and aerosol-climate studies.

TI Role of Met(58) in the regulation of electron/proton transfer in trihaem cytochrome PpcA from Geobacter sulfurreducens SO BIOSCIENCE REPORTS LA English DT Article DE electron transfer; Geobacter; multihaem cytochrome; NMR site-directed mutagenesis ID C-TYPE CYTOCHROME; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; THERMODYNAMIC CHARACTERIZATION; SUBSURFACE ENVIRONMENTS; DESULFOVIBRIO-VULGARIS; RESIDUE F-15; C(7); FAMILY; REDUCTION; FE(III) AB The bacterium Gs (Geobacter sulfurreducens) is capable of oxidizing a large variety of compounds relaying electrons out of the cytoplasm and across the membranes in a process designated as extracellular electron transfer. The trihaem cytochrome PpcA is highly abundant in Gs and is most probably the reservoir of electrons destined for the outer surface. In addition to its role in electron transfer pathways, we have previously shown that this protein could perform e(-)/H+ energy transduction. This mechanism is achieved by selecting the specific redox states that the protein can access during the redox cycle and might be related to the formation of proton electrochemical potential gradient across the periplasmic membrane. The regulatory role of haem III in the functional mechanism of PpcA was probed by replacing Met(58), a residue that controls the solvent accessibility of haem III, with serine, aspartic acid, asparagine or lysine. The data obtained from the mutants showed that the preferred e(-)/H+ transfer pathway observed for PpcA is strongly dependent on the reduction potential of haem III. It is striking to note that one residue can fine tune the redox states that can be accessed by the trihaem cytochrome enough to alter the functional pathways.

Adsorbates are mobile under 1 Torr of C2H4 and C2H4-H-2 mixtures, but adding 3 mTorr of CO quenches the mobility. Ethylene-related adsorbates can also weaken Pt-Pt bonds and thus facilitate displacements in the hexagonal layer.

Ammonia borane (AB) has emerged as a leading candidate due to its light weight and multiple protic (N-H) and hydridic (B-H) hydrogens. As a consequence, much work has been directed towards fine tuning the release of H-2 from AB, in addition to its regeneration from the dehydrogenated "spent fuel" materials. This review summarizes the development of these regeneration methodologies. C1 [Summerscales, Owen T.; Gordon, John C.] Los Alamos Natl Lab, Div Chem, MS J582, Los Alamos, NM 87545 USA.

TI Stability and Conductivity of In3+-Doped SnP2O7 with Varying Phosphorous to Metal Ratios SO ECS ELECTROCHEMISTRY LETTERS LA English DT Article ID PROTONIC CONDUCTORS AB In-doped tin pyrophosphate materials were synthesized with varying metal to phosphate ratios to assess the influence of an excess amorphous polyphosphate phase on conductivity. Total conductivity at 250 degrees C increased with phosphorus to metal (P:M) ratio, with the 2.81 P:M ratio material exhibiting maximum conductivity of 10(-2) and 10(-1) Scm(-1) in dry and humidified N-2. XRD measurements revealed no systematic change in lattice parameter with increasing P:M. These results combined with supporting spectroscopy, suggest that a grain-boundary polyphosphate phase is required to achieve high conductivity in the low-intermediate temperature range. The materials were relatively stable and provided steady conductivities at 250 degrees C. (c) 2013 The Electrochemical Society.

TI Current Status and Emerging Trends in Wide Bandgap (WBG) Semiconductor Power Switching Devices SO ECS JOURNAL OF SOLID STATE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID CARBIDE SINGLE-CRYSTALS; P-N-JUNCTION; SILICON-CARBIDE; MATERIAL DEFECTS; BIPOLAR-DEVICES; LARGE-AREA; GROWTH; DIODES; BULK; GAN AB The current state-of-the-art of wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor material technology is reviewed for the manufacturing of high-performance and reliable power electronics switching devices. In particular, silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) material and device technologies are evaluated when compared to conventional silicon power switching devices. For commercial applications above 400 volts, SiC stands out as a viable near-term commercial opportunity especially for single-chip current ratings in excess of 20 amps. For voltage ratings below 900 volts and smaller currents (below 20 amps), lateral GaN power transistors that utilize two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) are promising candidates. At the time of this writing, field-reliability of WBG power devices is yet to be demonstrated in power converter applications. The exact role of high-density of material defects in both SiC and GaN semiconductors, primarily in the drift-region of the device, is not known from manufacturing and reliability considerations. This fundamental understanding is critical in order for WBG power devices to rapidly penetrate the vast commercial and strategic markets. (C) 2013 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.

TI Implantation and Activation of Phosphorus in Amorphous and Crystalline Germanium Layers SO ECS JOURNAL OF SOLID STATE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ION-IMPLANTATION; DIFFUSION; JUNCTIONS; REGROWTH; GE AB We have investigated phosphorus implantation and activation in amorphous and crystalline Ge layers, deposited on Si substrates. The structure of the Ge layer has only limited influence on the dopant profile and diffusion after annealing. Surprisingly, crystalline Ge layers show better electrical results after implantation and dopant activation. For the amorphous layer, the solid phase epitaxy process is influenced in the neighborhood of P, leading to point defects, which inhibit electrical activation. This result implies that when a crystalline Ge layer is amorphized during implantation of high doses, the dopant activation can be significantly reduced. Reduced temperature ramping improves activation of P in amorphous Ge layers. (C) 2013 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved. C1 [Lieten, R.

Continuous microreactor-assisted solution deposition (MASD) was used to produce nanocrystalline cadmium sulfide (CdS) films on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrates with excellent uniformity. We report a novel liquid coating technique using a ceramic rod to efficiently and uniformly apply reactive solution to large substrates (152 mm x 152 mm). This technique represents an inexpensive approach to utilize the MASD on the substrate for uniform growth of CdS films. Nano-crystalline CdS films have been produced from liquid phase at similar to 90 degrees C, with average thicknesses of 70 nm to 230 nm and with a 5 to 12% thickness variation. The CdS films produced were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-Ray diffraction to demonstrate their suitability to thin-film solar technology.

However, as progressively more restrictions are placed on sampling for insects, researchers are increasingly obliged to use archival specimens collected for purposes other than genetic analyses. In this study we assessed the suitability, for population genetic studies, of popular, low-cost methods for preservation and storage of bumblebee specimens. Specimens of Bombus terrestris L. were held under six storage regimes for up to two years. DNA was extracted from the samples using three extraction protocols and the quality of the DNA was examined using PCR amplification of a mitochondrial and a nuclear gene. All extraction and storage methods provided sufficient DNA for successful PCR amplification. However, samples preserved in acetone or at freezing temperatures yielded the highest DNA concentrations. DNA yields from pinned specimens at room temperature declined over time, particularly when using standard extraction techniques. DNA concentrations were significantly lower from specimens preserved in 70% ethanol compared to all other extraction techniques and declined linearly over the two years of storage. These results indicate that two of the most popular insect storage methods (pinning and storage in ethanol) should be avoided for the long-term preservation of genetic material for future studies. We suggest that optimal insect preservation methods should be incorporated into research protocols in order to best capitalise on limited collection opportunities.

TI Exploring surface science and restructuring in reactive atmospheres of colloidally prepared bimetallic CuNi and CuCo nanoparticles on SiO2 in situ using ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy SO FARADAY DISCUSSIONS LA English DT Article ID CORE-SHELL NANOPARTICLES; OXIDE FUEL-CELLS; SEGREGATION; OXIDATION; CATALYSTS; ALLOYS; NANOCATALYSTS; CHEMISTRY; EVOLUTION; METHANE AB Bimetallic nanoparticles (similar to 11 nm diameter) of CuNi and CuCo were prepared by a new synthetic route and the 1 : 1 atomic ratio of their constituent elements confirmed using STEM-EDS at a single particle level. These nanoparticles, supported on the native oxide layer of a silicon wafer, were studied in situ in a series of reactive gas atmospheres (H-2 -> CO or CO/H-2 -> O-2 -> H-2) using ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS). Despite the deliberate similarity of nickel and cobalt with respect to copper, their restructuring behaviour is different. CuNi nanoparticles were found to surface segregate nickel in H-2, but copper in O-2 reversibly, while CuCo nanoparticles were found to surface segregate copper irreversibly when exposed to O-2, such that the surface remains copper rich when re-exposed to H-2. Both systems also restructure in opposition to the behaviour predicted by the surface free energies and enthalpies of oxide formation of the elements from which they are comprised - factors that are seen to control restructuring and surface segregation in many similar systems.

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) reveals well-defined Pd nanocrystals consisting of (111) top facets with {111} and {100} side facets. The Pd nanocrystals go down to about 10 nm in width and 1.3 nm in height. Top facets can be imaged with atomic resolution, indicating the absence of TiOx encapsulation. The model catalyst was probed by exposure to CO and O-2. By varying the CO exposure, different CO overlayers were formed on the (111) top facets, with coverages ranging from 0.33 to 0.75 of a monolayer. Near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) measurements at 300 K reveal that at around 0.5 ML coverage, CO is oriented with the molecular axis more or less normal to TiO2(110). Dosing small amounts of O-2 separately on a Pd/TiO2(110) surface led to an overlayer of p(2 x 2)-O formed on the (111) top facet of the Pd nanocrystals at 190 K.

A multi-model comparison is essential to evaluate the key uncertainties in the mechanisms and parameters leading to methane emissions. Ten modelling groups joined WETCHIMP to run eight global and two regional models with a common experimental protocol using the same climate and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) forcing datasets. We reported the main conclusions from the intercomparison effort in a companion paper (Melton et al., 2013). Here we provide technical details for the six experiments, which included an equilibrium, a transient, and an optimized run plus three sensitivity experiments (temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric CO2 concentration). The diversity of approaches used by the models is summarized through a series of conceptual figures, and is used to evaluate the wide range of wetland extent and CH4 fluxes predicted by the models in the equilibrium run. We discuss relationships among the various approaches and patterns in consistencies of these model predictions. Within this group of models, there are three broad classes of methods used to estimate wetland extent: prescribed based on wetland distribution maps, prognostic relationships between hydrological states based on satellite observations, and explicit hydrological mass balances. A larger variety of approaches was used to estimate the net CH4 fluxes from wetland systems. Even though modelling of wetland extent and CH4 emissions has progressed significantly over recent decades, large uncertainties still exist when estimating CH4 emissions: there is little consensus on model structure or complexity due to knowledge gaps, different aims of the models, and the range of temporal and spatial resolutions of the models.

TI The ICON-1.2 hydrostatic atmospheric dynamical core on triangular grids - Part 1: Formulation and performance of the baseline version SO GEOSCIENTIFIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT LA English DT Article ID SHALLOW-WATER EQUATIONS; BAROTROPIC VORTICITY EQUATION; SEMI-LAGRANGIAN ADVECTION; AQUA-PLANET SIMULATIONS; FINITE-VOLUME; NUMERICAL-INTEGRATION; GENERAL-CIRCULATION; TRANSPORT SCHEMES; STANDARD TEST; MODEL AB As part of a broader effort to develop next-generation models for numerical weather prediction and climate applications, a hydrostatic atmospheric dynamical core is developed as an intermediate step to evaluate a finite-difference discretization of the primitive equations on spherical icosahedral grids. Based on the need for mass-conserving discretizations for multi-resolution modelling as well as scalability and efficiency on massively parallel computing architectures, the dynamical core is built on triangular C-grids using relatively small discretization stencils. This paper presents the formulation and performance of the baseline version of the new dynamical core, focusing on properties of the numerical solutions in the setting of globally uniform resolution. Theoretical analysis reveals that the discrete divergence operator defined on a single triangular cell using the Gauss theorem is only first-order accurate, and introduces grid-scale noise to the discrete model. The noise can be suppressed by fourth-order hyper-diffusion of the horizontal wind field using a time-step and grid-size-dependent diffusion coefficient, at the expense of stronger damping than in the reference spectral model. A series of idealized tests of different complexity are performed. In the deterministic baroclinic wave test, solutions from the new dynamical core show the expected sensitivity to horizontal resolution, and converge to the reference solution at R2B6 (35 km grid spacing). In a dry climate test, the dynamical core correctly reproduces key features of the meridional heat and momentum transport by baroclinic eddies. In the aqua-planet simulations at 140 km resolution, the new model is able to reproduce the same equatorial wave propagation characteristics as in the reference spectral model, including the sensitivity of such characteristics to the meridional sea surface temperature profile. These results suggest that the triangular-C discretization provides a reasonable basis for further development. The main issues that need to be addressed are the grid-scale noise from the divergence operator which requires strong damping, and a phase error of the baroclinic wave at medium and low resolutions.

TI Sensitivity of remote aerosol distributions to representation of cloud-aerosol interactions in a global climate model SO GEOSCIENTIFIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT LA English DT Article ID COMMUNITY ATMOSPHERE MODEL; BLACK CARBON; SEASONAL CYCLE; AIR-POLLUTION; PNNL-MMF; AEROCOM; EMISSIONS; IMPACTS; GASES; SNOW AB Many global aerosol and climate models, including the widely used Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM5), have large biases in predicting aerosols in remote regions such as the upper troposphere and high latitudes. In this study, we conduct CAM5 sensitivity simulations to understand the role of key processes associated with aerosol transformation and wet removal affecting the vertical and horizontal long-range transport of aerosols to the remote regions. Improvements are made to processes that are currently not well represented in CAM5, which are guided by surface and aircraft measurements together with results from a multi-scale aerosol-climate model that explicitly represents convection and aerosol-cloud interactions at cloud-resolving scales. We pay particular attention to black carbon (BC) due to its importance in the Earth system and the availability of measurements. We introduce into CAM5 a new unified scheme for convective transport and aerosol wet removal with explicit aerosol activation above convective cloud base. This new implementation reduces the excessive BC aloft to better simulate observed BC profiles that show decreasing mixing ratios in the mid- to upper-troposphere. After implementing this new unified convective scheme, we examine wet removal of submicron aerosols that occurs primarily through cloud processes. The wet removal depends strongly on the subgrid-scale liquid cloud fraction and the rate of conversion of liquid water to precipitation. These processes lead to very strong wet removal of BC and other aerosols over mid- to high latitudes during winter months. With our improvements, the Arctic BC burden has a 10-fold (5-fold) increase in the winter (summer) months, resulting in a much-better simulation of the BC seasonal cycle as well. Arctic sulphate and other aerosol species also increase but to a lesser extent. An explicit treatment of BC aging with slower aging assumptions produces an additional 30-fold (5-fold) increase in the Arctic winter (summer) BC burden. This BC aging treatment, however, has minimal effect on other underpredicted species. Interestingly, our modifications to CAM5 that aim at improving prediction of high-latitude and upper-tropospheric aerosols also produce much-better aerosol optical depth (AOD) over various other regions globally when compared to multi-year AERONET retrievals. The improved aerosol distributions have impacts on other aspects of CAM5, improving the simulation of global mean liquid water path and cloud forcing. C1 [Wang, H.; Easter, R. C.; Rasch, P.

TI Numerical issues associated with compensating and competing processes in climate models: an example from ECHAM-HAM SO GEOSCIENTIFIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT LA English DT Article ID COMMUNITY ATMOSPHERE MODEL; NONLINEAR VERTICAL DIFFUSION; CLOUD MICROPHYSICS SCHEME; SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS; SULFURIC-ACID; SINGLE-COLUMN; AEROSOL; SENSITIVITY; IMPLEMENTATION; REPRESENTATION AB The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the need for appropriate numerical techniques to represent process interactions in climate models. In two versions of the ECHAM-HAM model, different time integration methods are used to solve the sulfuric acid (H2SO4) gas evolution equation, which lead to substantially different results in the H2SO4 gas concentration and the aerosol nucleation rate. Using convergence tests and sensitivity simulations performed with various time stepping schemes, it is confirmed that numerical errors in the second model version are significantly smaller than those in version one. The use of sequential operator splitting in combination with a long time step is identified as the main reason for the large systematic biases in the old model. The remaining errors of nucleation rate in version two, related to the competition between condensation and nucleation, have a clear impact on the simulated concentration of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the lower troposphere. These errors can be significantly reduced by employing solvers that handle production, condensation and nucleation at the same time. Lessons learned in this work underline the need for more caution when treating multi-timescale problems involving compensating and competing processes, a common occurrence in current climate models.

This review addresses first the microalgae cultivation with an overview of the productivity and growth of microalgae, the recovery of lipids from the microalgae, and chemical compositions of microalgae biomass and microalgal oil. Second, three basic approaches are discussed to downstream processing for the production of green gasoline and diesel hydrocarbons from microalgae oil, including cracking with zeolite, hydrotreating with supported sulfided catalysts and hydrodeoxygenation with non-sulfide metal catalysts. For the triglyceride derived bio-fuels, only "drop-in" gasoline and diesel range components are discussed in this review.

TI High throughput method for Sr extraction from variable matrix waters and Sr-87/Sr-86 isotope analysis by MC-ICP-MS SO JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL ATOMIC SPECTROMETRY LA English DT Article ID UTILIZATION BY-PRODUCTS; ACID-MINE DRAINAGE; STRONTIUM-ISOTOPE; CHROMATOGRAPHIC RESIN; PRECISE DETERMINATION; MASS-SPECTROMETRY; COAL-MINE; SEPARATION; RATIOS; USA AB Natural isotope tracers, such as strontium (Sr), can facilitate the tracking of brine migration caused by CO2 injection in carbon storage sites and assist in identifying the origin of formation waters associated with oil and gas exploration. However, it might be necessary to analyze tens of samples with complex chemical compositions over a short period to identify subsurface reactions and respond to unexpected fluid movement in the host formation. These conditions require streamlined Sr separation chemistry for samples ranging from pristine groundwaters to those containing high total dissolved solids, followed by rapid measurement of isotope ratios with high analytical precision. Here we describe a method useful for the separation of Sr from energy related geofluids and the rapid measurements of Sr isotopic ratios by MC-ICP-MS. Existing vacuum-assisted Sr separation procedures were modified by using inexpensive disposable parts that also eliminate cross contamination. These improvements will allow an operator to independently prepare samples for Sr isotope analysis using fast, low cost separation procedures and commercially available components. We optimized the elution chemistry by adjusting acid normality and elution rates to provide better separation of Sr from problematic matrices (e. g. Rb, Ca, Ba, K) associated with oilfield brines and formation waters. The separation procedure is designed for high sample throughputs that are ready for immediate Sr isotope measurements by MC-ICP-MS. Precise Sr isotope results can be achieved by MC-ICP-MS with a throughput of 4 to 5 samples per hour. Fluids from a range of geologic environments analyzed by this method yielded results within the analytical uncertainty of Sr-87/Sr-86 ratios previously determined by standard column separation and TIMS. This method provides a fast and effective way to use isolate Sr in a variety of geologic fluids for isotopic analysis by MC-ICP-MS. C1 [Wall, Andrew J.; Hakala, J.

CA ATLAS Tile Calorimeter Community TI The optical instrumentation of the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter SO JOURNAL OF INSTRUMENTATION LA English DT Article DE Calorimeters; Calorimeter methods; Scintillators, scintillation and light emission processes (solid, gas and liquid scintillators) ID HADRON CALORIMETER AB The Tile Calorimeter, covering the central region of the ATLAS experiment up to pseudorapidities of +/-1.7, is a sampling device built with scintillating tiles that alternate with iron plates. The light is collected in wave-length shifting (WLS) fibers and is read out with photomultipliers. In the characteristic geometry of this calorimeter the tiles lie in planes perpendicular to the beams, resulting in a very simple and modular mechanical and optical layout. This paper focuses on the procedures applied in the optical instrumentation of the calorimeter, which involved the assembly of about 460,000 scintillator tiles and 550,000 WLS fibers. The outcome is a hadronic calorimeter that meets the ATLAS performance requirements, as shown in this paper.

TI Radiopurity control in the NEXT-100 double beta decay experiment: procedures and initial measurements SO JOURNAL OF INSTRUMENTATION LA English DT Article DE Radiation calculations; Time projection Chambers (TPC); Gamma detectors (scintillators, CZT, HPG, HgI etc) ID LOW RADIOACTIVITY LEVELS; SEARCH; SPECTROMETRY; SELECTION; GERDA; MASS AB The "Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon Time-Projection Chamber" (NEXT) is intended to investigate the neutrinoless double beta decay of Xe-136, which requires a severe suppression of potential backgrounds. An extensive screening and material selection process is underway for NEXT since the control of the radiopurity levels of the materials to be used in the experimental set-up is a must for rare event searches. First measurements based on Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry and gamma-ray spectroscopy using ultra-low background germanium detectors at the Laboratorio Subterraneo de Canfranc (Spain) are described here. Activity results for natural radioactive chains and other common radionuclides are summarized, being the values obtained for some materials like copper and stainless steel very competitive. The implications of these results for the NEXT experiment are also discussed. C1 [Alvarez, V.; Carcel, S.; Cervera, A.; Diaz, J.; Ferrario, P.; Gil, A.; Gomez-Cadenas, J.

TI High-performance electronics for time-of-flight PET systems SO JOURNAL OF INSTRUMENTATION LA English DT Article DE Analogue electronic circuits; Gamma camera, SPECT, PET PET/CT, coronary CT angiography (CTA); Front-end electronics for detector readout ID RESOLUTION AB We have designed and built a high-performance readout electronics system for time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF PET) cameras. The electronics architecture is based on the electronics for a commercial whole-body PET camera (Siemens/CPS Cardinal electronics), modified to improve the timing performance. The fundamental contributions in the electronics that can limit the timing resolution include the constant fraction discriminator (CFD), which converts the analog electrical signal from the photo-detector to a digital signal whose leading edge is time-correlated with the input signal, and the time-to-digital converter (TDC), which provides a time stamp for the CFD output. Coincident events are identified by digitally comparing the values of the time stamps. In the Cardinal electronics, the front-end processing electronics are performed by an Analog subsection board, which has two application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), each servicing a PET block detector module. The ASIC has a built-in CFD and TDC. We found that a significant degradation in the timing resolution comes from the ASIC's CFD and TDC. Therefore, we have designed and built an improved Analog subsection board that replaces the ASIC's CFD and TDC with a high-performance CFD (made with discrete components) and TDC (using the CERN high-performance TDC ASIC). The improved Analog subsection board is used in a custom single-ring LSO-based TOF PET camera. The electronics system achieves a timing resolution of 60 ps FWHM. Prototype TOF detector modules are read out with the electronics system and give coincidence timing resolutions of 259 ps FWHM and 156 ps FWHM for detector modules coupled to LSO and LaBr3 crystals respectively.

TI Photodegradation mechanisms of tetraphenyl butadiene coatings for liquid argon detectors SO JOURNAL OF INSTRUMENTATION LA English DT Article DE Noble-liquid detectors (scintillation, ionization two-phase); Scintillators, scintillation and light emission processes (solid, gas and liquid scintillators); Photon detectors for UV, visible and IR photons (gas) (gas-photocathodes, solid-photocathodes) AB We report on studies of degradation mechanisms of tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB) coatings of the type used in neutrino and dark matter liquid argon experiments. Using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry we have detected the ultraviolet-blocking impurity benzophenone. We monitored the drop in performance and increase of benzophenone concentration in TPB plates with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, and demonstrate the correlation between these two variables. Based on the presence and initially exponential increase in the concentration of benzophenone observed, we propose that TPB degradation is a free radical-mediated photooxidation reaction, which is subsequently confirmed by displaying delayed degradation using a free radical inhibitor. Finally we show that the performance of wavelength-shifting coatings of the type envisioned for the LBNE experiment can be improved by 10-20%, with significantly delayed UV degradation, by using a 20% admixture of 4-tert-Butylcatechol.

We clearly see that by moving only two nodes from the current 130 nm CMOS to 65 nm, substantial processing power could be embedded in the front-end system. We have designed and fabricated a prototype pixel readout chip to explore 65 nm CMOS as a potential integrated circuit technology for future particle physics applications. Not only the reported functional test results are very encouraging, but we also found that the process is fundamentally tolerant to radiation doses higher than 600 Mrad.

The input current is converted into the transition times of the oscillations, which are digitized with a Wave Union TDC in FPGA and the variation of the transition times reflects the variation of the input current. Preliminary tests show that input charges <25 fC can be measured at > 50M samples/s without a preamplifier. C1 Fermilab Natl Accelerator Lab, Batavia, IL 60510 USA.

The many advantages of these circuits have been described such as higher speed due to shorter trace lenghts, the ability to reduce cross talk by placing analog and digital circuits on different levels, higher circuit density without the going to smaller feature sizes, lower interconnect capacitance leading to lower power, reduced chip size, and different processing for the various layers to optimize performance. There are some added advantages specifically for MAPS (Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors) in High Energy Physics: four side buttable pixel arrays, 100% diode fill factor, the ability to move PMOS transistors out of the diode sensing layer, and a increase in channel density. Fermilab began investigating 3D circuits in 2006. Many different bonding processes have been described for fabricating 3D circuits [1]. Fermilab has used three different processes to fabricate several circuits for specific applications in High Energy Physics and X-ray imaging. This paper covers some of the early 3D work at Fermilab and then moves to more recent activities. The major processes we have used are discussed and some of the problems encountered are described. An overview of pertinent 3D circuit designs is presented along with test results thus far.

However, both GaP (indirect gap) and GaP:N (direct gap) have poor optical absorption properties across their fundamental band gap. To enhance optical absorption as well as the photocurrent, we have examined by density functional theory the favorability of oxygen and hydrogen impurities in conjunction with N doping in bulk GaP. It has been found here that O-related defects are more favorable, whereas H with N substitution is not very favorable. These O-N related defects create a global effect in the GaP lattice by both volume and band gap reduction. Enhancement of optical absorption was also found due to these types of complex doping.

While most of the reported work for Li-S batteries is focused on the cathode design, we demonstrate in this work that the anode consumption accelerated by corrosive polysulfide solution also critically determines the Li-S cell performance. To validate this hypothesis, ionic liquid (IL) N-methyl-N-butylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (Py14TFSI) has been employed to modify the properties of the SEI layer formed on the Li metal surface in Li-S batteries. It is found that the IL-enhanced passivation film on the lithium anode surface exhibits very different morphology and chemical composition, effectively protecting lithium metal from continuous attack by soluble polysulfides. Therefore, both the cell impedance and the irreversible consumption of polysulfides on lithium metal are reduced. As a result, the Coulombic efficiency and the cycling stability of Li-S batteries have been greatly improved. After 120 cycles, the Li-S battery cycled in the electrolyte containing 75% IL demonstrates a high capacity retention of 94.3% at 0.1 C rate. These results reveal one of the main failure mechanisms in Li-S batteries and shine the light on new approaches to improve the reversible capacity and cyclability of Li-S batteries. This work provides important clues for the understanding and thus the improvement of Li-S battery systems through a different point of view.

The underlying drivers determining the complicated structure-composition-property phase diagrams are the relative positions and orbital overlaps between the metal cations and the oxygen anions. Here we report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the structure and bonding in a series of lanthanum chromium oxides prepared by molecular beam epitaxy. Of particular interest is the charge state and local coordination of the Cr. We have stabilized LaCrO3, LaCrO4 and La2CrO6 films by controlling the three elemental fluxes during deposition, and have carried out X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoemission, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, as well as first-principles calculations, to determine structure, charge state, chemical bonding, and electronic structure. Significant changes in bonding character and orbital interaction are revealed with decreasing ligand symmetry from octahedral to tetrahedral Cr coordination. Both LaCrO4 and La2CrO6 with tetrahedrally coordinated Cr show strong pre-edge features in the Cr K-edge near-edge structure whereas LaCrO3 with octahedrally coordinated Cr exhibits very weak pre-edge features. The origin of these pre-edge features is discussed based on various selection rules and ligand symmetry. We also demonstrate an increase in cation-anion orbital hybridization and a decrease in long-range ligand coupling induced by this symmetry reduction. These in turn result in dramatic modifications of the macroscopic optical and magnetic properties. C1 [Qiao, L.; Exarhos, G. J.; Droubay, T. C.; Chambers, S.

However, electron microscopy shows that under hydrothermal conditions, some nanorods grown by oriented attachment of small anatase particles on {101} surfaces are curved and dislocation free. Molecular dynamics simulations show that the lattice energy of a curved anatase rod is actually lower than that of a linear rod due to more attractive long-range interatomic Coulombic interactions among atoms in the curved rod. The thermodynamic driving force stemming from lattice energy could be harnessed to produce asymmetric morphologies unexpected from classical Ostwald ripening with unusual shapes and properties.

Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWNT)/CdSe Quantum Dot (QD) heterostructures serve as an important example for an active component of solar cells. The attachment mechanism of CdSe QDs and MWNTs is known to affect the charge transfer between them and consequently to alter the efficiency of solar cell devices. In this study, we present a novel method that enables the exchange of some of the organic capping agents on the QDs with carboxyl functionalized MWNTs upon ultrasonication. This produces a ligand-free covalent attachment of the QDs to the MWNTs. EXAFS characterization reveals direct bond formation between the CdSe QDs and the MWNTs. The amount of oleic acid exchanged is quantified by temperature-programmed decomposition; the results indicate that roughly half of the oleic acid is removed from the QDs upon functionalized MWNT addition. Additionally, we characterize the optical and structural properties of the QD-MWNT heterostructures and investigate how these properties are affected by the attachment. The steady state photoluminescence response of QDs is completely quenched. The lifetime of the PL of the QDs measured with time resolved photoluminescence shows a significant decrease after they are covalently bonded to functionalized MWNTs, suggesting a fast charge transfer between QDs and MWNTs. Our theoretical calculations are consistent with and support these experimental findings and provide microscopic models for the QD binding mechanisms.

Temperature-calibrated Raman spectra of ZnO phonons show that intensity-dependent plasmonic excitation can controllably heat Au-ZnO from 30 to similar to 600 degrees C and simultaneously tune the CH4 : CO product ratio. The laser induced heating and resulting CH4 : CO product distribution agrees well with predictions from thermodynamic models and temperature-programmed reaction experiments indicating that the reaction is a thermally driven process resulting from the plasmonic heating of the Au-ZnO. The apparent quantum yield for CO2 conversion under continuous wave (cw) 532 nm laser illumination is 0.030%. The Au-ZnO catalysts are robust and remain active after repeated laser exposure and cycling. The light intensity required to initiate CO2 reduction is low (similar to 2.5 x 10(5) W m(-2)) and achievable with solar concentrators. Our results illustrate the viability of plasmonic heating approaches for CO2 utilization and other practical thermal catalytic applications.

Both the magnitude and mechanism of this effect, however, remain poorly constrained. We have used Raman thermometry measurements of freely evaporating micro-droplets to determine evaporation coefficients for several concentrations of acetic acid, which is ubiquitous in atmospheric aerosol and has been shown to adsorb strongly to the air-water interface. We find no suppression of the evaporation kinetics over the concentration range studied (1-5 M). The evaporation coefficient determined for 2 M acetic acid is 0.53 +/- 0.12, indistinguishable from that of pure water (0.62 +/- 0.09).

Monolithic mesoporous carbon electrodes of similar to 10 nm pore size were synthesized based on a soft-template method. The electrodes were used with an aqueous solution of gadolinium nitrate in an electrochemical flow-through cell designed for neutron imaging studies. Sequences of neutron images were obtained under various conditions of applied potential between the electrodes. The images revealed information on the direction and magnitude of ion transport within the electrodes. From the time-dependent concentration profiles inside the electrodes, the average value of the effective diffusion coefficient for gadolinium ions was estimated to be 2.09 +/- 0.17 x 10(-11) m(2) s(-1) at 0 V and 1.42 +/- 0.06 x 10(-10) m(2) s(-1) at 1.2 V. The values of the effective diffusion coefficient obtained from neutron imaging experiments can be used to evaluate model predictions of the ion transport rate in capacitive deionization and electrochemical energy-storage devices.

TI In situ/operando studies for the production of hydrogen through the water-gas shift on metal oxide catalysts SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID X-RAY-ABSORPTION; TIME-RESOLVED CHARACTERIZATION; LOW-TEMPERATURE; HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS; SITU CHARACTERIZATION; PARTICLE-SIZE; ACTIVE-SITE; CUO-CEO2 CATALYSTS; RAMAN-SPECTROSCOPY; REACTION-MECHANISM AB In this perspective article, we show how a series of in situ techniques {X-ray diffraction (XRD), pair-distribution-function analysis (PDF), X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM), infrared spectroscopy (IR), ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS)} can be combined to perform detailed studies of the structural, electronic and chemical properties of metal oxide catalysts used for the production of hydrogen through the water-gas shift reaction (WGS, CO + H2O -> H-2 + CO2). Under reaction conditions most WGS catalysts undergo chemical transformations that drastically modify their composition with respect to that obtained during the synthesis process. Experiments of time-resolved in situ XRD, XAFS, and PDF indicate that the active phase of catalysts which combine Cu, Au or Pt with oxides such as ZnO, CeO2, TiO2, CeOx/TiO2 and Fe2O3 essentially involves nanoparticles of the reduced noble metals. The oxide support undergoes partial reduction and is not a simple spectator, facilitating the dissociation of water and in some cases modifying the chemical properties of the supported metal. Therefore, to optimize the performance of these catalysts one must take into consideration the properties of the metal and oxide phases. IR and AP-XPS have been used to study the reaction mechanism for the WGS on metal oxide catalysts. Data of IR spectroscopy indicate that formate species are not necessarily involved in the main reaction path for the water-gas shift on Cu-, Au- and Pt-based catalysts. Thus, a pure redox mechanism or associative mechanisms that involve either carbonate-like (CO3, HCO3) or carboxyl (HOCO) species should be considered. In the last two decades, there have been tremendous advances in our ability to study catalytic materials under reaction conditions and we are moving towards the major goal of fully understanding how the active sites for the production of hydrogen through the WGS actually work.

The saturation coverage on surface Ti rows is determined to be 0.43 monolayer (ML), slightly less than one ethylene glycol per two Ti sites. Most of the adsorbed ethylene glycol (similar to 80%) undergoes further reactions to yield other products. Two major channels are observed, dehydration yielding ethylene and water and dehydrogenation yielding acetaldehyde and hydrogen. Hydrogen formation is rather surprising as it has not been observed previously on TiO2(110) from simple organic molecules. The coverage dependent yields of ethylene and acetaldehyde correlate well with those of water and hydrogen, respectively. Dehydration dominates at lower ethylene glycol coverages (<0.2 ML) and plateaus as the coverage is increased to saturation. Dehydrogenation is observed primarily at higher ethylene glycol coverages (>0.2 ML). Our results suggest that the observed dehydration and dehydrogenation reactions proceed via different surface intermediates.

However, this does not occur on the close-packed surface of clean Cu(111). In this study, we show that the deprotonation of formic acid on atomically flat Cu(111) surfaces can be induced by pre-adsorbing polymeric formic acid clusters at low temperatures, and then annealing the system to break the acidic O-H bond of HCOOH adsorbed on the edges of the polymeric clusters. The thermal activation of HCOOH to bidentate formate was studied using a combination of infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. Extended 1D formate structures self-assemble due to a templating effect introduced by the formation of long alpha-polymeric formic acid chains commensurate with the substrate.

Comparison to available experimental data indicates that this functional is particularly well suited to study these materials. The calculations reveal that beta-Mo2C has a stronger metallic character than the other two polymorphs, both beta-Mo2C and d-MoC have a large ionic contribution, and delta- and alpha-MoC exhibit the strongest covalent character. Among the various surfaces explored, the calculations reveal the high stability of the delta-MoC(001) nonpolar surface, Mo- and C-terminated (001) polar surfaces of alpha-MoC, and the nonpolar (011) surface of beta-Mo2C. A substantially low work function of only 3.4 eV is predicted for beta-Mo2C(011), suggesting that this system is particularly well suited for (electro) catalytic processes where surface -> adsorbate electron transfer is essential. The overall implications for heterogeneously catalysed reactions by these molybdenum carbide nanoparticles are also discussed.

Thermodynamic properties are predicted for NIPAM using adaptive bias force-molecular dynamics and various popular force-fields (AMBER, OPLS-AA, CHARMM and GROMOS) at four different temperatures: below the LCST (275 K and 300 K) and above the LCST (310 K and 330 K). The effect of changes in the thermodynamic properties of the monomer NIPAM at various temperatures below and above LCST on the kinetics of conformational transition of thermo-sensitive polymers is discussed. Our findings provide encouraging prospects for understanding the LCST transition in the hydrogel poly-N-isopropylacrylamide which shows temperature-dependent conformational changes in part due to the complex interplay of hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions.

While analytical results and rigorous bounds on effective conductivity in mono-sized particle dispersions are well established in the literature, the methods used to arrive at these results often fail when the average size of particle clusters becomes large (i.e., near the percolation transition where particle contact networks dominate the bulk conductivity). Our aim is to develop general, efficient numerical methods that would allow us to explore this behavior and compare to a recent microstructural description of conduction in this regime. To this end, we present a finite element analysis approach to modeling heat transfer in granular media with the goal of predicting effective bulk thermal conductivities of particle-based heterogeneous composites. Our approach is verified against theoretical predictions for random isotropic dispersions of mono-disperse particles at various volume fractions up to close packing. Finally, we present results for the probability distribution of the effective conductivity in particle dispersions generated by Brownian dynamics, and suggest how this might be useful in developing stochastic models of effective properties based on the dynamical process involved in creating heterogeneous dispersions.

One aspect of that effort is the conversion of research reactors to monolithic fuel plates of low-enriched uranium. The manufacturing process includes hot isostatic press bonding of an aluminum cladding to the fuel foil. The Laser Shockwave Technique (LST) is here evaluated for characterizing the interface strength of fuel plates using depleted Uranium/Mo foils. LST is a non-contact method that uses lasers for the generation and detection of large amplitude acoustic waves and is therefore well adapted to the quality assurance of this process. Preliminary results show a clear signature of well-bonded and debonded interfaces and the method is able to classify/rank the bond strength of fuel plates prepared under different HIP conditions.

It provides a complete interrogation and therefore a potentially complete quantification of the thermal properties of a test material. Two distinct applications have been pursued in the development of data/imaging processing methods: one for material property measurement and the other for flaw or discontinuity detection. For property measurement, theoretical models for one-and multi-layer materials are used to determine thickness-averaged material properties. For flaw detection, various image-processing methods are developed to enhance and extract the thermal contrast induced by subsurface flaw/discontinuities. This study examines the evolution of these methods and compares the differences of flaw-detection methods for detection and characterization of delamination flaws.

Consequently, more stringent guidelines have been issued for the aging management of dry storage facilities that necessitate monitoring of the conditions of DCSSs. Continuous health monitoring of DCSSs based on temperature variations is one viable method for assessing the integrity of the system. In the present work, a novel ultrasonic temperature probe (UTP) is being tested for long-term online temperature monitoring of DCSSs. Its performance was evaluated and compared with type N thermocouple (NTC) and resistance temperature detector (RTD) using a small-scale dry storage canister mockup. Our preliminary results demonstrate that the UTP system developed at Argonne is able to achieve better than 0.8 degrees C accuracy, tested at temperatures of up to 400 degrees C. The temperature resolution is limited only by the sampling rate of the current system. The flexibility of the probe allows conforming to complex geometries thus making the sensor particularly suited to measurement scenarios where access is limited.

Already, GUW techniques are receiving consideration for inspecting buried piping at nuclear power plants and future applications may include several Class 1 and 2 components. To accept the results of a nondestructive examination of safety critical components, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires that the examinations be performed using qualified equipment, personnel, and procedures. As the use of GUW techniques becomes more frequent, qualification may be required. Performance demonstration has been the approach to qualifying conventional NDE methods in the nuclear power industry. This paper highlights potential issues and research needs associated with facilitating GUW qualification for the nuclear power industry. Parametric studies of essential inspection parameters are necessary to understand their influence on inspection performance. The large volume sampling capability introduces several challenges for qualifying GUW techniques including the quantification of performance, potential interference caused by the presence of multiple flaws in the inspection region, and the practicality of manufacturing several large qualification specimens. Computer simulation may have a significant role in reducing the experimental burden associated with qualifying GUW techniques for nuclear power plant examinations. C1 [Meyer, R.

It was observed that Barkhausen noise emission and reversible component of magnetization, computed from the FORC data, decreased with increasing measured mechanical hardness. The results are discussed in terms of the use of magnetic signatures for use in nondestructive interrogation of radiation damage and other microstructural changes in ferritic/martensitic alloys. FORC analysis is shown to be particularly useful for detailed characterization of defect density and pinning, which can be correlated to bulk nondestructive evaluation field measurements such as Barkhausen noise emission.

Coatings on 316L are made of spherules size ranged from 100 nm to 1 mu m while those observed on PP-PE are smaller in the 50-600 nm range. Cell viability is much higher in samples with novel auto-catalytic layer of Ca-P than in the uncoated ones. Furthermore, our results show that the Ca-P coating produced by an auto-catalytic route act as promoter for osteoblasts proliferation.

Threshold estimation dates to the 1920s with the Shewhart control chart; however, because possible new roles for PM are being evaluated in nuclear safeguards, it is timely to consider modern model selection options in the context of threshold estimation. One of the possible new PM roles involves PM residuals, where a residual is defined as residual = data - prediction. This paper reviews alarm threshold estimation, introduces model selection options, and considers a range of assumptions regarding the data-generating mechanism for PM residuals. Two PM examples from nuclear safeguards are included to motivate the need for alarm threshold estimation. The first example involves mixtures of probability distributions that arise in solution monitoring, which is a common type of PM. The second example involves periodic partial cleanout of in-process inventory, leading to challenging structure in the time series of PM residuals.

It is assumed that an active set method is used to handle the nonlinearity of the inequality constraint, which results in auxiliary linear problems. For solving such linear problems we study two domain decomposition methods called the finite element tearing and interconnecting (FETI-FETI) and hybrid methods in this paper. Bodies are decomposed into several subdomains in both methods. The FETI-FETI method combines the one-level FETI and the dual-primal FETI (FETI-DP) methods. We present a proof that this combined method has a condition number that depends linearly on the number of subdomains across each body and polylogarithmically on the number of elements across each subdomain. Our numerical results, and those of others, suggest that this is the best possible bound. The hybrid method combines the one-level FETI and the balanced domain decomposition by constraints (BDDC) methods; we prove that the condition number of this method has two polylogarithmic factors depending on the number of elements across each subdomain and across each body. We present numerical results confirming this theoretical finding. C1 Argonne Natl Lab, Div Math & Comp Sci, Argonne, IL 60439 USA.

This model is strongly coupled, highly nonlinear, and characterized by physical mechanisms that span a wide range of interacting time scales. Solutions of this system can include very fast component time scales to slowly varying dynamical time scales that are long relative to the normal modes of the model equations. Fully implicit time stepping is attractive for simulating this type of wide-ranging physical phenomena. However, it is essential that one has effective preconditioning strategies so that the overall fully implicit methodology is both efficient and scalable. In this paper, we propose and explore the performance of several candidate block preconditioners for this system. One of these preconditioners is based on an operator-split approximation. This method reduces the 3 x 3 system (momentum, continuity, and magnetics) into two 2 x 2 operators: a Navier-Stokes operator (momentum and continuity) and a magnetics-velocity operator (momentum and magnetics) which takes into account the critical Lorentz force coupling. Using previously developed preconditioners for Navier-Stokes, and an initial Schur-complement approximation for the magnetics-velocity system, we show that the split preconditioner is scalable and competitive with other preconditioners, including a fully coupled algebraic multigrid method.

To that end, we compare an Arakawa finite difference technique with some recent high-resolution upwind methods that are designed to minimize nonmonotonic overshoots while preserving the accuracy of solutions at smooth extrema. Versions of these algorithms are able to rigorously preserve positivity when that is physically relevant (such as for the advection of particle density or temperature). We explain in detail the use of these methods for the nonlinear Poisson bracket, an operator applicable to neutral fluid, gyrofluid, gyrokinetic, and general Hamiltonian simulations. For one-dimensional passive advection, the high-resolution upwind techniques maintain monotonicity and approach minimal levels of phase error and dissipation, especially at long wavelengths. In a two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes vortex merging problem we find that extrema-preserving methods can resolve details at lower resolution than the Arakawa technique, are less dissipative than traditional finite volume methods while still minimizing overshoots and ensuring positivity, and model nonlinear cascade behavior fairly well without additional subgrid damping.

Large-scale coherent states are manifested by formation of dynamic vortex arrays within the colloidal monolayer. Emergence of the dynamic coherence and self-organized patterns in this non-equilibrium colloidal system is attributed to a spontaneous symmetry breaking due to subtle interplay between magnetic, steric, and hydrodynamic forces acting on individual colloidal particles. Collective response of the magnetic colloidal monolayer induces in-plane rectified hydrodynamic surface flows which in turn entrains the particles, resulting in a variety of coherent states.

Whitelam, Stephen TI Do hierarchical structures assemble best via hierarchical pathways? SO SOFT MATTER LA English DT Article ID PROTEIN CRYSTAL; GERM-FORMATION; S-LAYER; KINETICS; GROWTH; RULE; NUCLEATION; PHASE; TIME AB Hierarchically structured natural materials possess functionalities unattainable to the same components organized or mixed in simpler ways. For instance, the bones and teeth of mammals are far stronger and more durable than the mineral phases from which they are derived because their constituents are organized hierarchically from the molecular scale to the macroscale. Making similarly functional synthetic hierarchical materials will require an understanding of how to promote the self-assembly of structure on multiple length scales, without falling foul of numerous possible kinetic traps. Here we use computer simulation to study the self-assembly of a simple hierarchical structure, a square crystal lattice whose repeat unit is a tetramer. Although the target material is organized hierarchically, it self-assembles most reliably when its dynamic assembly pathway consists of the sequential addition of monomers to a single structure. Hierarchical dynamic pathways via dimer and tetramer intermediates are also viable modes of assembly, but result in general in lower yield: these intermediates have a stronger tendency than monomers to associate in ways not compatible with the target structure. In addition, assembly via tetramers results in a kinetic trap whereby material is sequestered in trimers that cannot combine to form the target crystal. We use analytic theory to relate dynamical pathways to the presence of equilibrium phases close in free energy to the target structure, and to identify the thermodynamic principles underpinning optimum self-assembly in this model: (1) make the free energy gap between the target phase and the most stable fluid phase of order kBT, and (2) ensure that no other dense phases (liquids or close-packed solids of monomers or oligomers) or fluids of incomplete building blocks fall within this gap.

Peaks correspond to those valence excited states and reveal electronic Frank-Condon overlaps between canonical valence orbitals and relaxed orbitals in the presence of the core hole. The coupling between excited states with valence- and core-holes is further explored using a coherent, wave-vector matched photon echo technique, where it is possible to eliminate stimulated emission and excited-state absorption by taking the waiting time to be longer the lifetime of the core hole (similar to 7.1 fs for nitrogen).

Here, we describe the first measurements of ultrafast carrier dynamics and diffusion in single heterostructured Si nanowires, obtained using ultrafast optical microscopy. By isolating individual nanowires, we avoid complications resulting from the broad size and alignment distribution in nanowire ensembles, allowing us to directly probe ultrafast carrier dynamics in these quasi-one-dimensional systems. Spatially-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy demonstrates the influence of surface-mediated mechanisms on carrier dynamics in a single NW, while polarization-resolved femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy reveals a clear anisotropy in carrier lifetimes measured parallel and perpendicular to the NW axis, due to density-dependent Auger recombination. Furthermore, separating the pump and probe spots along the NW axis enabled us to track space and time dependent carrier diffusion in radial and axial NW heterostructures. These results enable us to reveal the influence of radial and axial interfaces on carrier dynamics and charge transport in these quasi-one-dimensional nanosystems, which can then be used to tailor carrier relaxation in a single nanowire heterostructure for a given application.

Using degenerate femtosecond optical pump-probe spectroscopy, we find that the observed dynamics are qualitatively similar in both samples. After photoexcitation, electrons relax to the conduction band minimum through electron-phonon coupling, with subsequent carrier relaxation proceeding via various recombination pathways that extend to a nanosecond timescale. Subtle differences observed in our measurements indicate that BFO films have a higher band gap than single crystals. Overall, our results demonstrate that carrier relaxation in BFO is analogous to that in bulk semiconductors. C1 [Sheu, Y. M.; Trugman, S. A.; Xiong, J.; Park, Y. -S.; Jia, Q. X.; Taylor, A.

In order to reduce friction and wear, lubricants are usually applied to components. The lubricants are normally formulated with functional additives such as anti-wear, friction modifier, anti-oxidant, etc. These additives react with the ferrous materials surface to form tribochemical surface films. A variety of hard thin-film coatings are increasingly being used in tribological components. These coatings can enhance the friction and wear behavior of the components. The impacts of thin film coatings on surface reactions by lubricant additives, and hence their effectiveness in reducing friction and wear is currently unclear. In this study, we evaluated the friction and wear behavior of several commercially available thin-film ceramic coatings when lubricated with unformulated and fully formulated synthetic oils. In tests with unformulated lubricant, friction coefficient behavior is similar to the uncoated steel. While in tests with fully formulated lubricants, a variety of behaviors were observed for different coatings. These behaviors are explained in terms of the differences in tribochemical film formation and properties on the coatings surfaces. C1 [Lorenzo-Martin, C.; Ajayi, O.

The data define linear Arrhenius arrays that yield an average apparent activation energy of 417.4 +/- 4.3 kJ/mol and average frequency factor of 43.2 +/- 0.6 ln(s(-1)), which correspond to a closure temperature of 385 +/- 2 degrees C (for a 10 degrees C/Ma cooling rate). These results indicate that calcite quantitatively retains trapped atmospheric and in situ produced cosmogenic argon at Earth surface and upper crustal temperatures over geologic time. Furthermore, these are the first reported data on argon diffusion in a rhombohedral or carbonate mineral, an important constraint on models of noble gas diffusion kinetics in crystalline materials. 0 2012 Elsevier GmbH.

The magnetic field fluctuations of theses waves are approximately perpendicular to the gradient of magnetic field magnitude which is similar to the field-line resonance characteristics predicted by numerical simulations in two-ion plasmas. In this paper, we perform a wave simulation in a three-ion plasma to consider the effect of multiple heavy ions at Mercury. Because recently observed wave frequencies are near the He+, He2+ and H+, we adopt multi-ion plasmas that contain H+, He2+, and He+. The simulation results show that several resonant waves between the ion gyrofrequencies can occur at the same location and also show the modulation of amplitude in time histories. Therefore, the simulation results suggest that it could be possible to observe two or three different resonant frequencies at certain locations in Mercury's magnetosphere.

A semi-condensed gas-phase isoprene chemical mechanism (ISO-UNC) was coupled with different aerosol-phase modelling frameworks to simulate SOA formation, including: (1) the Odum two-product approach, (2) the 1-D volatility basis-set (VBS) approach and (3) a new condensed kinetic model based upon the gas-particle partitioning theory and reactive uptake processes. The first two approaches are based upon empirical parameterisations from previous studies. The kinetic model uses a gas-phase mechanism to explicitly predict the major intermediate precursors, namely the isoprene-derived epoxides, and hence simulate SOA formation. In general, they all tend to significantly over predict SOA formation when semivolatile concentrations are higher because more semivolatiles are forced to produce SOA in the models to maintain gas-particle equilibrium; yet the data indicate otherwise. Consequently, modified dynamic parameterised models, assuming non-equilibrium partitioning, were incorporated and could improve the model performance. In addition, the condensed kinetic model was expanded by including an uptake limitation representation so that reactive uptake processes slow down or even stop; this assumes reactive uptake reactions saturate seed aerosols. The results from this study suggest that isoprene SOA formation by reactive uptake of gas-phase precursors is likely limited by certain particle-phase features, and at high gas-phase epoxide levels, gas-particle equilibrium is not obtained. The real cause of the limitation needs further investigation; however, the modified kinetic model in this study could tentatively be incorporated in large-scale SOA models given its predictive ability.

Fluorinated graphene exhibited high capacity retentions of 75-81% of theoretical capacity at moderate rates as cathode materials for primary lithium batteries. Specifically, CF0.47 maintained a capacity of 356 mAh g (1) at a 5 C rate, superior to that of traditional fluorinated graphite. The discharged graphene fluorides also provide an electrochemical tool to probe the chemical bonding on the parent graphene substrate.

However, direct synthesis of OMCs with high nitrogen content remains a significant challenge due to the limited availability of nitrogen precursors capable of co-polymerizing with phenolic resins without deterioration of the order of mesostructural arrangement and significant diminishment of nitrogen content during carbonization. In this work, we demonstrate pyrolysis of the soft-templated polymeric composites in ammonia as a direct, facile way towards nitrogen-enriched OMCs (N-OMCs). This approach does not require any nitrogen-containing carbon precursors or post-treatment, but takes advantage of the preferential reaction and/ or replacement of oxygen with nitrogen species, generated by decomposition of ammonia at elevated temperatures, in oxygen-rich polymers during pyrolysis. It combines carbonization, nitrogen functionalization, and activation into one simple process, generating N-OMCs with a uniform pore size, large surface area (up to 1400 m(2) g(-1)), and high nitrogen content (up to 9.3 at%). More importantly, the ordering of the meso-structure is well-maintained as long as the heating temperature does not exceed 800 degrees C, above which (e. g., 850 degrees C) a slight structural degradation is observed. When being used as electrode materials for symmetric electric double layer capacitors, N-OMCs demonstrate enhanced capacitance (6.8 mu F cm(-2) vs. 3.2 mu F cm(-2)) and reduced ion diffusion resistance compared to the non-NH3-treated sample.

TI Intrinsic thermodynamic and kinetic properties of Sb electrodes for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries: experiment and theory SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID AUGMENTED-WAVE METHOD; HIGH-CAPACITY; LITHIUM; STORAGE; SODIUM; MOSSBAUER; SYSTEMS; ANODE AB A detailed comparative study between the electrochemical lithiation and sodiation of pure antimony (Sb), relating changes in structural, thermodynamic, kinetic and electrochemical properties has been carried out. For this purpose, a wide range of measurements using electrochemical (galvanostatic cycling, GITT, PITT), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods as well as density functional theory (DFT) based investigations have been undertaken. Assessment of the thermodynamics reveals that the reaction proceeds identically during the first and second cycles for Li whereas it differs between the first and subsequent cycles for Na as the reaction with Na proceeds through a different pathway associated with the formation of amorphous NaxSb phases. For the first time we rationalize the amorphization of NaxSb phases by the long ranged strain propagation due to Na-vacancy compared to Li-3-Sb. At full discharge, our XRD results show for the first time that a minor fraction of hexagonal Li3Sb forms concomitantly with cubic Li3Sb. The XRD results confirm that Sb crystallizes into hexagonal Na3Sb at full sodiation. The kinetics of the reaction is assessed by rate performance tests which highlight that both Li and Na can diffuse rapidly throughout micron thick films at room temperature. However, it is found that the (de) insertion of Li provides lower overpotentials and larger storage capacities compared to Na. The difference in rate performance is complemented by diffusion coefficient determinations near the 0 V region where both materials are crystallized into M3Sb (M Li, Na). Interestingly, calculations show that the energy barrier for near-neighbor vacancy migration, predominant in these close-packed phases, is about twice for Na than for Li. Our analysis tries to relate the lower intrinsic diffusivity of Na compared to Li with the long-range strain propagation induced by the former, thereby leading to an intrinsic origin of differences in rates, mechanical properties and amorphization. Finally, the surface chemistry of Sb electrodes cycled in NaClO4 dissolved in pure PC with(out) the addition of 5 wt% EC or FEC shows presence of ethers and NaF for the EC- and FEC-based electrolytes, respectively, and SEI films rich in Na-based carbonates.

A cross-linkable insulator and a soluble small molecule semiconductor are developed which are both printable and highly robust. Using plastic with pre-patterned indium tin oxide gate contacts as required for display applications, two different layers are sequentially spray-printed: the semiconductor 6,13-bis(trisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene (TIPS-PEN), and the insulator poly-4-vinylphenol (PVP). OFETs printed in ambient air with a bottom-gate/top-contact geometry are shown to achieve on/off ratios of >10(4) and mobilities up to 0.35 cm(2) V-1 s(-1). These rival the characteristics of the best solution-processable small molecule FETs fabricated by other processing methods such as drop casting and ink-jet printing.

We describe such tunable filters based on the micro-flow of liquid crystals. The filter operation is based on the wavelength-dependent liquid crystal birefringence that can be tuned by modifying the flow velocity field in the microchannel. The latter is possible both temporally and spatially by varying the inlet pressure and the channel geometry, respectively. We explored the use of these optofluidic filters for on-chip absorption spectroscopy in poly(dimethylsiloxane) microfluidic systems; by integrating the distance-dependent color filter with a dye-filled micro-channel, the absorption spectrum of a dye could be measured. Liquid crystal microflows substantially simplify the optofluidic integration, actuation and tuning of color filters for lab-on-a-chip spectroscopic applications. C1 [Cuennet, J.

To accomplish this, robust SERS substrates were generated by depositing a protective alumina coating on top of silver nanowires (NWs) via atomic layer deposition (ALD). In situ studies of catalytic systems were conducted by analyzing the effects of heating a solid acid on the alumina surface in various environments at temperatures up to 400 degrees C. Interestingly, the distance-dependent decay of the SERS effect allowed us to probe with enhanced detail the interfacial region. Further, we monitored adsorbate interface interactions between the adsorption-desorption of pyridine on the acidic sites of a solid acid.

The catalytic activity (turnover frequency) and ethanol selectivity of Rh/OMC for synthesis gas conversion to ethanol are enhanced greatly when triply promoted with Mn, Li, and Fe oxides. Compared with traditional mesoporous silica having similar pore size, OMC as the support of promoted Rh catalyst increases the ethanol selectivity along with suppressing the formation of undesired hydrocarbons, although its overall activity is lowered to some extent.

The scientific challenge is to achieve a detailed mechanistic understanding of the structural or chemical sites of the carbon that are catalytically active especially because of the very heterogeneous nature of carbon surfaces. This problem is complicated by the fact that there are limited tools to characterize the surface chemical and structural properties of carbon materials. This review highlights recent efforts from our group in utilizing well-defined synthetic nanostructure carbons in which surface properties can be controlled and systematically varied in order to identify their function for oxidative dehydrogenation reactions. Manipulation of exposed edge sites and oxygen functionalities are some of the aspects studied for controlling activity and selectivity on carbon catalysis.

The resulting nanocomposites were able to perform a sequence of oxidation and aldol coupling reactions, which transformed short chain alcohols into longer chain molecules. The process takes place at low temperatures, but requires additional enzyme (catalase) to prevent inactivation of the catalyst.

TI The Orange Carotenoid Protein: a blue-green light photoactive protein SO PHOTOCHEMICAL & PHOTOBIOLOGICAL SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID SYNECHOCYSTIS PCC 6803; PHOTOSYSTEM-II; ENERGY-DISSIPATION; PHYCOBILISOME FLUORESCENCE; PHOTOPROTECTIVE MECHANISM; MOLECULAR SWITCH; SP PCC-6803; CYANOBACTERIUM; COMPLEX; OCP AB This review focuses on the Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) which is the first photoactive protein identified containing a carotenoid as the photoresponsive chromophore. This protein is essential for the triggering of a photoprotective mechanism in cyanobacteria which decreases the excess absorbed energy arriving at the photosynthetic reaction centers by increasing thermal dissipation at the level of the phycobilisomes, the cyanobacterial antenna. Blue-green light causes structural changes within the carotenoid and the protein, converting the orange inactive form into a red active form. The activated red form interacts with the phycobilisome and induces the decrease of phycobilisome fluorescence emission and of the energy arriving to the photosynthetic reaction centers. The OCP is the light sensor, the signal propagator and the energy quencher. A second protein, the Fluorescence Recovery Protein (FRP), is needed to detach the red OCP from the phycobilisome and its reversion to the inactive orange form. In the last decade, in vivo and in vitro mechanistic studies combined with structural and genomic data resulted in both the discovery and a detailed picture of the function of the OCP and OCP-mediated photoprotection. Recent structural and functional results are emphasized and important previous results will be reviewed. Similarities to other blue-light responsive proteins will be discussed.

For solder alloys used in microelectronics, cryogenic temperatures can prove problematic. At low temperatures Sn-based solders undergo a ductile to brittle transition that leads to brittle cracks, which can result in catastrophic failure of electronic components, assemblies and spacecraft payloads. As industrial processes begin to move away from Pb-Sn solder, it is even more critical to characterize the behavior of alternative Sn-based solders. Here we report on initial investigations using a modified Charpy test apparatus to characterize the ductile to brittle transformation temperature of nine different solder systems. C1 [Shapiro, A.

Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS) is a valuable tool to investigate the elemental composition and chemical specificity of surfaces and adsorbates on the molecular scale at pressures of up to 130 mbar. In this review we summarize the historical development of APXPS since its introduction over forty years ago, discuss different approaches to minimize scattering of electrons by gas molecules, and give a comprehensive overview about the experimental systems (vapor/solid interfaces) that have been studied so far. We also present several examples for the application of APXPS to environmental science, heterogeneous catalysis, and electrochemistry. C1 [Starr, D.

[Rh(cod) Cl] 2 and Cp'H were firstly converted to [Cp'Rh(cod)] complexes, which were then treated with Br-2 to give the rhodium(III) dibromides [Cp'RhBr2](2). The novel complexes [Cp'Rh(bpy) Br](ClO4) were obtained readily by the reaction of 2,2'-bipyridine with [Cp'RhBr2](2). These rhodium complexes [Cp'Rh(bpy) Br](ClO4) were fully characterized and utilized in the hydrogenation of cyclohexanone and acetophenone with generally high yields, but they did not exhibit the same reactivity trends for the two substrate ketones. The different activity of these complexes for the different substrates may be due to the influence of the substituents on the Cp' rings.

They help build a coherent picture of the behaviour of bottomonium in the plasma, consistent which the current LHC results.

The model is designed to reproduce the anomaly, in particular the flatness of (e - 3p)/T-2 above similar to 1.2T(c) observed by lattice simulations with up to six colors. Furthermore, it predicts the existence of an adjoint Higgs phase where the masses of diagonal and off-diagonal gluons split and that the phase transition of SU(N) with three or more colors, and for exceptional groups with a trivial center such as G(2), is generically of first order. For G(2) gauge group, a small value of the Polyakov loop at T-c(-) can be obtained with a non-perturbative potential summed over the roots of SU(7) rather than G(2), which implements the principle of maximal eigenvalue repulsion.

This finding appears to contradict the expected dominance of photon production from a quark-gluon plasma at an early stage of a heavy-ion collision. A possible explanation of the strong azimuthal anisotropy of the photons, given recently, is based on the presence of a large magnetic field in the early phase of a collision. In this talk, we consider a novel photon production mechanism stemming from the conformal anomaly of QCDxQED and the existence of strong (electro)magnetic fields in heavy ion collisions. Using the hydrodynamical description of the bulk modes of QCD plasma, we show that this mechanism leads to the photon production yield that is comparable to the yield from conventional sources. The comparison of the results to the data from the PHENIX collaboration, show that this mechanism might be the most responsible for the observed azimuthal anisotropy of photons.

TI Highly soluble energy relay dyes for dye-sensitized solar cells SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID MESOPOROUS TITANIA FILMS; RUTHENIUM DYES; ORGANIC-DYE; EFFICIENCY; COSENSITIZATION; RECOMBINATION; PERFORMANCE; IMPROVEMENT; STRATEGY; ELECTRON AB High solubility is a requirement for energy relay dyes (ERDs) to absorb a large portion of incident light and significantly improve the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Two benzonitrile-soluble ERDs, BL302 and BL315, were synthesized, characterized, and resulted in a 65% increase in the efficiency of TT1-sensitized DSSCs. The high solubility (180 mM) of these ERDs allows for absorption of over 95% of incident light at their peak wavelength. The overall power conversion efficiency of DSSCs with BL302 and BL315 was found to be limited by their energy transfer efficiency of approximately 70%. Losses due to large pore size, dynamic collisional quenching of the ERD, energy transfer to desorbed sensitizing dyes and static quenching by complex formation were investigated and it was found that a majority of the losses are caused by the formation of statically quenched ERDs in solution.

From preliminary measurements of H+, Ar+1, Ar+6 and Ar+9 ion sputtering of JSC-1A AGGL lunar regolith simulant at solar wind velocities, and TRIM simulations of kinetic sputtering yields, the relative contributions of kinetic and potential sputtering contributions are estimated. An 80-fold enhancement of oxygen sputtering by Ar+ over same-velocity H+, and an additional x2 increase for Ar+9 over same-velocity Ar+ was measured. This enhancement persisted to the maximum fluences investigated (similar to 10(16)/cm(2)). Modeling studies including the enhanced oxygen ejection by potential sputtering due to the minority heavy ion multicharged ion solar wind component, and the kinetic sputtering contribution of all solar wind constituents, as determined from TRIM sputtering simulations, indicate an overall 35% reduction of near-surface oxygen abundance. XPS analyses of simulant samples exposed to singly and multicharged Ar ions show the characteristic signature of reduced (metallic) Fe, consistent with the preferential ejection of oxygen atoms that can occur in potential sputtering of some metal oxides.

Species distribution and conditional stability pM profiles were calculated based on the determined formation constants, showing that both ligands form extremely stable uranyl and thorium complexes in solution. At physiological pH, the formation of 1:1 ligand : uranyl complexes is favored for both ligands, while a 2:1 ligand : thorium complex is predominant with the tetradentate 5-LIO(Me-3,2-HOPO). Comparisons with functionally similar bidentate ligands as well as with the common actinide chelator diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid emphasized the superior affinity for U(VI) and Th(IV) of both experimental compounds over a wide pH range. These analytical results corroborate the in vivo chelation efficacy of 3,4,3-LI(1,2-HOPO) and 5-LIO(Me-3,2-HOPO) and validate their selection for further development as therapeutic actinide decorporation agents.

Carbonate concentration was below 2 x 10(-5) M, measured using the gas chromatography method. In the absence of carbonate, the uranium(VI) solubilities were about 10(-6) M in GWB at pC(H+) >= 7 and about 10(-8)-10(-)7 M in ERDA-6 brine at pC(H+) >= 8. Solubility of uranium(VI) was also measured in NaCl media at the same levels as in ERDA-6 brine. The data established a uranium solubility that was 10-100 times lower than published results from Diaz-Arocas and Grambow [13], and they are in good agreement with modeling results and other literature data [11, 12]. In the absence of carbonate, hydrolysis was the main complexation and precipitation mechanisms for uranium(VI) solubility at high ionic strength and pC(H+) >= 7. However, the effect of borate complexation was noticeable at pC(H+) similar to 8-9. C1 [Lucchini, J. -F.; Borkowski, M.; Richmann, M. K.; Reed, D.

The distribution and size of Au nanoparticles on the surface of WO3 cross-linked nanodomes are controlled by varying the thickness of the initial Au film. The responses of Au-decorated WO3 cross-linked nanodomes to various gases such as NO2, CH3COCH3, C2H5OH, NH3, CO, H-2, and C6H6 are at least 5 times higher than those of bare WO3 cross-linked nanodomes. The response enhancement by Au decoration is dependent on the target gas, which is attributed to an interplay between electronic and chemical sensitizations. In particular, the Au-decorated WO3 cross-linked nanodomes exhibit extremely high sensitivities and selectivities, and ppt-level detection limits to NO2 and C2H5OH at 250 degrees C and 450 degrees C, respectively. These results suggest that Au-decorated WO3 cross-linked nanodomes are very promising for use in breath analysers to diagnose both asthma and lung cancer from exhaled human breath.

TI On-chip laser-induced DNA dehybridization SO ANALYST LA English DT Article ID POLYMERASE-CHAIN-REACTION; MICROARRAY; AMPLIFICATION; SELECTION; SYSTEM AB Detection of pathogens and relevant genetic markers using their nucleic acid signatures is extremely common due to the inherent specificity genomic sequences provide. One approach for assaying a sample simultaneously for many different targets is the DNA microarray, which consists of several million short nucleic acid sequences (probes) bound to an inexpensive transparent substrate. Typically, complex samples hybridize to the microarray and the pattern of fluorescing probes on the microarray's surface identifies the detected targets. In the case of evolving or newly emergent organisms, a hybridization pattern can occur that differs from any previously known sources. When this happens it can be useful to recover the hybridized DNA from the binding locations of interest for sequencing. Here we present the novel utilization of a focused Infrared (IR) laser to heat user-selected spots on the DNA microarray surface, causing only localized dehybridization and recovery of the desired DNA into an elution buffer where it is available for subsequent amplification or sequencing. The introduction of a focused dehybridization method for spots of interest suppresses the amount of background DNA to be analyzed from downstream processes, and should reduce subsequent sequence assembly errors. This technique could also be applied to high-density protein microarrays where the desire to locally heat spots for release of bound molecules is desired. C1 [Wheeler, E.

TI Real time in situ chemical characterization of sub-micron organic aerosols using Direct Analysis in Real Time mass spectrometry (DART-MS): the effect of aerosol size and volatility SO ANALYST LA English DT Article ID LIQUID PHASE-SEPARATION; VAPOR-PRESSURES; ION-SOURCE; PARTICLES; MORPHOLOGY; COMPONENT; SPLAT AB Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART) mass spectrometry is an atmospheric pressure ionization technique suitable for in situ chemical analysis of organic aerosols. Here, mass spectra are obtained by introducing a stream of nanometer-sized aerosols into the ionization region, which is an open space between the ion source and the atmospheric inlet of mass spectrometer. Model single component aerosols are used to show how the aerosol size and volatility influence the measured ion signals at different DART gas temperatures. The results show that for equivalent aerosol mass concentrations, the ion signal scales with particle surface area, with smaller diameter oleic acid aerosols yielding higher ion signals relative to larger diameter aerosols. For the aerosols of the same size, but different vapor pressures, the ion signal is larger for more volatile succinic acid aerosols than less volatile adipic and suberic acid particles. From the measured changes in aerosol size, produced by the DART source, the radial probing depth for these model aerosols range from 1 to 10 nm, the magnitude of which depends upon the physiochemical properties of the aerosols and DART gas temperature. An aerosol evaporation model reveals that the ion signal is correlated with changes in aerosol size and depends upon the total quantity of evaporated aerosol mass, consistent with a mechanism in which gas-phase molecules are first desorbed from the aerosol surface prior to ionization. The results of this work serve as a basis for future investigations of the mass spectra, ionization pathways, and probing depth of the aerosols using DART.

Since then, charge exchange has been observed between solar wind ions and neutrals in the geocorona and in the atmospheres of Mars and Jupiter. Charge exchange with interstellar neutrals within the heliosphere between solar wind ions and neutral hydrogen and helium from the interstellar medium is now acknowledged as contributing a considerable (although currently unknown) fraction of the soft X-ray background. We make a brief survey of the heliospheric, Galactic, and extragalactic systems in which charge exchange has been observed or is predicted to take place. Experiments measuring velocity dependent cross-section and line ratios for Lyman-series lines and He-like triplets are needed to check current theoretical models of charge exchange emission and aid interpretation of observations. We point out a number of systems that are of astrophysical interest that could be the subject of future laboratory investigations, particularly velocity dependent line ratios of the X-ray emission produced by charge exchange between highly ionized common elements (such as O, C, Ne, and Fe) and atomic hydrogen and helium. To begin to address the need for laboratory data we have measured velocity dependent Ly-series line ratios for C6+ ions interacting with H-2, He, and Kr gas targets at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Ion-Atom Merged-Beams Apparatus C1 [Morgan, K.; Defay, X.; Hokin, M.; McCammon, D.; Sauter, P.; Wulf, D.] Univ Wisconsin, Dept Phys, 1150 Univ Ave, Madison, WI 53706 USA.

Controlled studies of this process in electron beam ion traps during the past one and a half decades have produced multiple observations that are difficult to explain with available spectral models. Some of the most recent observations are so puzzling that they bring in doubt the existence of a coherent predictive capability for line formation by charge exchange, making investigations of charge exchange a fertile ground for continued measurements and theoretical development.

For example, accurate knowledge of atomic properties has been crucial for understanding the plasma energy balance and for diagnostic development. With the shift in magnetic fusion research toward high-temperature burning plasmas like those expected to be produced in the ITER tokamak, the atomic physics of tungsten has become important. Tungsten will be a constituent of ITER plasmas because of its use as a plasma-facing material able to withstand high heat loads with lower tritium retention than other possible materials. Already, ITER diagnostics are being developed based on using tungsten radiation. In particular, the ITER Core Imaging X-ray Spectrometer (CIXS), which is designed to measure the core ion temperature and bulk plasma motion, is being based on the x-ray emission of neonlike tungsten ions (W64+). In addition, tungsten emission will at ITER be measured by extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and optical spectrometers to determine its concentration in the plasma and to assess power loss and tungsten sputtering rates. On present-day tokamaks tungsten measurements are therefore being performed in preparation of ITER. Tungsten has very complex spectra and most are still unknown. The WOLFRAM project at Livermore aims to produce data for tungsten in various spectral bands: L-shell x-ray emission for CIXS development, soft x-ray and EUV M-and N-shell tungsten emission for understanding the edge radiation from ITER plasmas as well as from contemporary tokamaks, and O-shell emission for developing spectral diagnostics of the ITER divertor.

The generators use the D-D fusion reaction and are driven by an ion beam supplied by a microwave ion source. Yields of up to 5 x 10(9) n/s have been achieved, which are comparable to those obtained using the more efficient D-T reaction. The microwave-driven plasma uses the electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) to produce a high plasma density for high current and high atomic ion species. These generators have an actively pumped vacuum system that allows operation at reduced pressure in the target chamber, increasing the overall system reliability. Since no radioactive tritium is used, the generators can be easily serviced, and components can be easily replaced, providing essentially an unlimited lifetime. Fast neutron source size can be adjusted by selecting the aperture and target geometries according to customer specifications. Pulsed and continuous operation has been demonstrated. Minimum pulse lengths of 50 mu s have been achieved. Since the generators are easily serviceable, they offer a long lifetime neutron generator for laboratories and commercial systems requiring continuous operation. Several of the generators have been enclosed in radiation shielding/moderator structures designed for customer specifications. These generators have been proven to be useful for prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA), neutron activation analysis (NAA) and fast neutron radiography. Thus these generators make excellent fast, epithermal and thermal neutron sources for laboratories and industrial applications that require neutrons with safe operation, small footprint, low cost and small regulatory burden.

For ion sources with low current density to be viable for these types of imaging methods, large extraction apertures and beam focusing must be used. We present recent work on the optimization of a Penning-type ion source for neutron generator applications. Two multi-cusp magnet configurations have been tested and are shown to increase the extracted ion current density over operation without multi-cusp magnetic fields. The use of multi-cusp magnetic confinement and gold electrode surfaces have resulted in increased ion current density, up to 2.2 mA/cm(2). Passive beam focusing using tapered dielectric capillaries has been explored due to its potential for beam compression without the cost and complexity issues associated with active focusing elements. Initial results from first experiments indicate the possibility of beam compression.

We present progress towards the development of the components for an ultra-compact neutron generator using a pulsed, meso-scale field ionization source, a deuterated (or tritiated) titanium target driven by a negative high voltage lithium tantalate crystal. Neutron production from integrated tests using an ion source with a single, biased tungsten tip and a 3x1 cm, vacuum insulated crystal with a plastic deuterated target are presented. Component testing of the ion source with a single tip produces up to 3 nA of current. Dielectric insulation of the lithium tantalate crystals appears to reduce flashover, which should improve the robustness. The field emission losses from a 3 cm diameter crystal with a plastic target and 6 cm diameter crystal with a metal target are compared. C1 [Ellsworth, J.

A National Electrostatics Corp. (NEC) Torodial Volume Ion Source (TORVIS), the keystone upgrade for the facility, can produce currents of hydrogen ions and helium ions up to similar to 200 mu A and similar to 5 mu A, respectively. Recent upgrades also include RBS analysis packages, end station developments for irradiation of relevant material systems, and the development of an in-house touch screen based graphical user interface for ion beam monitoring. Key research facilitated by these upgrades includes irradiation of nuclear fuels, studies of interfacial phenomena under irradiation, and clustering dynamics of irradiated oxide dispersion strengthened steels. The UW-IBL has also partnered with the Advanced Test Reactor National Scientific User Facility (ATR-NSUF) to provide access to the irradiation facilities housed at the UW-IBL as well as access to post irradiation facilities housed at the UW Characterization Laboratory for Irradiated Materials (CLIM) and other ATR-NSUF partner facilities. Partnering allows for rapid turnaround from proposed research to finalized results through the ATR-NSUF rapid turnaround proposal system. An overview of the UW-IBL including CLIM and relevant research is summarized. C1 [Field, K. G.; Wetteland, C. J.; Cao, G.; Maier, B. R.; Gerczak, T. J.; Kriewaldt, K.; Sridharan, K.; Allen, T.

Design studies show that it can be applied successfully between sections of conventional elliptical superconducting coupled cavity accelerator structures and internally to structures with spoked cavity resonators. The coupling mechanisms can be designed without creating problems with high field regions or multipactoring. The application of resonant coupling to superconducting accelerators eliminates the need for complex cryogenic mechanical tuners and reduces the time needed to bring a superconducting accelerator into operation.

The core is fueled solely with the transuranics (TRU) and long-lived fission products (LFP) from used nuclear fuel. The neutronics and salt composition are optimized to destroy the transuranics by fission and the long-lived fission products by transmutation. The cores are driven by proton beams from a strong-focusing cyclotron stack. One such ADSMS system can destroy the transuranics in the used nuclear fuel produced by a 1GWe conventional reactor. It uniquely provides a method to close the nuclear fuel cycle for green nuclear energy.

The pulse length of laser ion source is easy to control because it is expected to be proportional to plasma drifting distance. However, current density decay is proportional to the cube of the drifting distance, so large current loss will occur under unconfined drift. We investigated the stability and current decay of a Nd:YAG laser generated copper plasma confined by a solenoidal field using a Faraday cup to measure the current waveform. It was found that the plasma was unstable at certain magnetic field strengths, so a baffle was introduced to limit the plasma diameter at injection and improve the stability. Magnetic field, solenoid length, and plasma diameter were varied in order to find the conditions that minimize current decay and maximize stability.

Although it is challenging to experimentally replicate exact conditions in a nuclear reactor that lead to hydrogen uptake in claddings, in this study we have attempted to understand the kinetics of hydrogen uptake by first electrolytically charging Zircaloy-2 (Zr-2) cladding material for various durations (100 to 2,600 s), and subsequently examining hydrogen ingress with elastic recoil detection (ERD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). To understand the influence of irradiation damage defects on hydrogen uptake, an analogous study was performed on ion - irradiated (0.1, 1 and 25 dpa) Zr-2. Analysis of ERD data from the un-irradiated Zr-2 suggests that the growth of the hydride layer is diffusion controlled, and preliminary TEM results support this assertion. In un-irradiated Zr-2, the diffusivity of hydrogen in the hydride phase was found to be approximately 1.1 x 10(-11) cm(2)/s, while the diffusivity in the hydride phase for lightly irradiated (0.1 and 1 dpa) Zr-2 is an order of magnitude lower. Irradiation to 25 dpa results in a hydrogen diffusivity that is comparable to the un-irradiated Zr-2. These results are compared with existing literature on hydrogen transport in Zr - based materials. C1 [Rajasekhara, S.; Doyle, B. L.; Enos, D. G.; Clark, B.

Absolute methods, which are conducted without any assistance from calibration materials, are seldom applied for the difficulty in obtaining photon flux in measurements. This research is an attempt to perform a new absolute approach in PAA - quasi-absolute method - by retrieving photon flux in the sample through Monte Carlo simulation. With simulated photon flux and database of experimental cross sections, it is possible to calculate the concentration of target elements in the sample directly. The QA/QC procedures to solidify the research are discussed in detail. Our results show that the accuracy of the method for certain elements is close to a useful level in practice. Furthermore, the future results from the quasi-absolute method can also serve as a validation technique for experimental data on cross sections. The quasi-absolute method looks promising. C1 [Sun, Z.

Traditionally, these techniques are applied in a quasi-static fashion that usually highlights the steady-state properties of a system rather than the fast dynamics that often define the system function on a molecular level. Novel x-ray spectroscopy techniques enabled by free electron lasers (FELs) and synchrotron based pump-probe schemes provide the opportunity to monitor intramolecular and interfacial charge transfer processes in real-time and with element and chemical specificity. Two complementary time-domain x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques are presented that are applied at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) and the Advanced Light Source (ALS) to study charge transfer processes in N3 dye-sensitized ZnO semiconductor nanocrystals, which are at the heart of emerging light-harvesting technologies.

By bombarding a component with ion beams the radiation component of the space environment can be simulated and single event effects (SEEs) determined. The performance of electronic components used in space flight and high altitude aircraft can then be evaluated. The 88-Inch Cyclotron is coupled to the three electron cyclotron resonance ion sources (ECR, AECR-U, VENUS). These ion sources provide a variety of ion species, ranging from protons to heavy ions such as bismuth, for these tests. In particular the ion sources have been developed to provide "cocktails", a mixture of ions of similar mass-to-charge ratio, which can be simultaneously injected into the cyclotron, but selectively extracted from it. The ions differ in both their linear energy transfer (LET) deposited to the part and in their penetration depth into the tested part. The current heavy ion cocktails available are the 4.5, 10, 16, and 30 MeV per nucleon. To provide the optimum range of LET a variety of ion beams and charge states is required. In order to produce a broad range of heavy ion cocktails, several methods to inject various metals and gases simultaneously have been developed, including sputter probes and ovens. Cocktail beams, first developed in 1985 in Berkeley, continue to evolve along with the capabilities of the accelerator system. The newest ECR source at Berkeley, VENUS, is capable of producing very high charge state heavy ions, delivering heavier ions with increased range and LET. The most recent example is the acceleration of Bi56+ to 9.5 MeV per nucleon. This paper will discuss the progress and gains still underway with the ECR ion sources and how they support radiation space effects testing.

The DIANA collaboration includes nuclear astrophysics groups from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Michigan State University, Western Michigan University, Colorado School of Mines, and the University of North Carolina, and is led by the University of Notre Dame. The scientific goals of the facility are measurements of low energy nuclear cross-sections associated with sun and pre-supernova stars in a laboratory setup at energies that are close to those in stars. Because of the low stellar temperatures associated with these environments, and the high Coulomb barrier, the reaction cross-sections are extremely low. Therefore these measurements are hampered by small signal to background ratios. By going underground the background due to cosmic rays can be reduced by several orders of magnitude. We report on the design status of the DIANA facility with focus on the 3 MV electrostatic accelerator.
