Anomalous Fermi-Surface Dependent Pairing in a Self-Doped High-T(c) Superconductor (open access)

Anomalous Fermi-Surface Dependent Pairing in a Self-Doped High-T(c) Superconductor

We report the discovery of a self-doped multilayer high T{sub c} superconductor Ba{sub 2}Ca{sub 3}Cu{sub 4}O{sub 8}F{sub 2} (F0234) which contains distinctly different superconducting gap magnitudes along its two Fermi-surface sheets. While formal valence counting would imply this material to be an undoped insulator, it is a self-doped superconductor with a T{sub c} of 60 K, possessing simultaneously both electron- and hole-doped Fermi-surface sheets. Intriguingly, the Fermi-surface sheet characterized by the much larger gap is the electron-doped one, which has a shape disfavoring two electronic features considered to be important for the pairing mechanism: the van Hove singularity and the antiferromagnetic ({pi}/{alpha}, {pi}/{alpha}) scattering.

CO2 Sequestration and Recycle by Photosynthesis (open access)

CO2 Sequestration and Recycle by Photosynthesis

Hydrocarbon oxygenate synthesis from photocatalytic reactions of CO{sub 2} and H{sub 2}O over various catalysts is a very attractive process. However, the formation rate of the hydrocarbons and oxygenates is significantly lower than conventional catalysis. One possible reason for the low rate of product formation is the presence of oxidation sites which reoxidize the products back to CO{sub 2} and H{sub 2}O. For further improvement of catalytic activity for the reduction process, it is essential to understand the oxidation reaction process. We have studied photocatalytic oxidation of methylene blue and found the oxidation rate is significantly higher than the reduction rate.

CO2 Sequestration and Recycle by Photosynthesis (open access)

CO2 Sequestration and Recycle by Photosynthesis

Hydrocarbon synthesis from photocatalytic reactions of CO{sub 2} and H{sub 2}O over various catalysts has been studied by UV-visible light. The quantum efficiencies suggest that Pd/TiO{sub 2} sol gel exhibits the highest activity for hydrocarbon synthesis from photocatalytic reactions. The in situ IR could successfully monitor the adsorbed hydrocarbon species. The UV-visible, IR spectroscopy and XRD techniques were used to characterize the catalysts to obtain the information of properties of the process and catalyst before/after reaction. The UV-visible spectroscopy provides the information about the surface band gap energy of each catalyst. In situ UV-visible studies reveals that TiO{sub 2}-supported catalysts require the higher energy (i.e. shorter wavelength) to pass through the water-thin film deposited on the surface to activate the photocatalytic reaction. XRD data show there is changes in the crystal structure of TiO{sub 2} sol gel from photon energy during photo reaction. The information from this study can lead to a better understanding of the nature of the catalysts and photoreaction processes, which might provide the information to develop better catalysts and reaction process for the hydrocarbon synthesis from photocatalytic reactions of CO{sub 2} and H{sub 2}O.

Dynamic simulation tools for the analysis and optimization of novel collection, filtration and sample preparation systems (open access)

Dynamic simulation tools for the analysis and optimization of novel collection, filtration and sample preparation systems

The focus of research effort described here is to develop novel simulation tools to address design and optimization needs in the general class of problems that involve species and fluid (liquid and gas phases) transport through sieving media. This was primarily motivated by the heightened attention on Chem/Bio early detection systems, which among other needs, have a need for high efficiency filtration, collection and sample preparation systems. Hence, the said goal was to develop the computational analysis tools necessary to optimize these critical operations. This new capability is designed to characterize system efficiencies based on the details of the microstructure and environmental effects. To accomplish this, new lattice Boltzmann simulation capabilities where developed to include detailed microstructure descriptions, the relevant surface forces that mediate species capture and release, and temperature effects for both liquid and gas phase systems. While developing the capability, actual demonstration and model systems (and subsystems) of national and programmatic interest were targeted to demonstrate the capability. As a result, where possible, experimental verification of the computational capability was performed either directly using Digital Particle Image Velocimetry or published results.

Compositing and Characterization of Samples from Hanford Tank 241-AY-102/ C-106 (open access)

Compositing and Characterization of Samples from Hanford Tank 241-AY-102/ C-106

As part of the program to provide waste characterization and pretreatment data to support the Waste Treatment Plant WTP mission to treat Hanford tank waste, an approximate 3.8L sample of waste from Hanford Tank 241-AY-102/C-106 was received at the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC). The waste sample was characterized to provide feed for pretreatment testing. The characterization data provides a basis for rational development of pretreatment processes, determination of reagent requirements, and development of physical design parameters for the pretreatment plant.

USDOE - Final report 2000/2001 [Global Environmental Multiscale (GEM) global variable resolution model] (open access)

USDOE - Final report 2000/2001 [Global Environmental Multiscale (GEM) global variable resolution model]

The global variable resolution (Global Environmental Multiscale--GEM) model was developed into a very efficient parallel forecast model. It is being evaluated for climate simulations. Various aspects of the nested grid methodology for regional climate change studies were investigated with the Canadian Regional Climate Model. The parallel performance of the GEM model is now such that a high-resolution (1/2 degree) climate simulation is now possible on Environment Canada supercomputers. This high-resolution climate simulation will serve to compare the nested grid approach to the variable grid one in controlled numerical experiments. Benchmarking of the parallel Stretched-Grid GEOS has been initiated on Environment Canada supercomputers. Two workshops on regional climate modeling were held.

GLASS FABRICATION AND PRODUCT CONSISTENCY TESTING OF LANTHANIDE BOROSILICATE GLASS FOR PLUTONIUM DISPOSITION (open access)

GLASS FABRICATION AND PRODUCT CONSISTENCY TESTING OF LANTHANIDE BOROSILICATE GLASS FOR PLUTONIUM DISPOSITION

The Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (DOE/EM) plans to conduct the Plutonium Disposition Project at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in Aiken, SC, to disposition excess weapons-usable plutonium. A plutonium glass waste form is a leading candidate for immobilization of the plutonium for subsequent disposition in a geologic repository. The objectives of this present task were to fabricate plutonium-loaded lanthanide borosilicate (LaBS) Frit B glass and perform testing to provide near-term data that will increase confidence that LaBS glass product is suitable for disposal in the proposed Federal Repository. Specifically, testing was conducted in an effort to provide data to Yucca Mountain Project (YMP) personnel for use in performance assessment calculations. Plutonium containing LaBS glass with the Frit B composition with a 9.5 wt% PuO{sub 2} loading was prepared for testing. Glass was prepared to support glass durability testing via the ASTM Product Consistency Testing (PCT) at Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL). The glass was characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) prior to performance testing. This characterization revealed some crystalline PuO{sub 2} inclusions with disk-like morphology present in the as fabricated, quench-cooled glass. A series of PCTs was conducted …

Oral History Interview with Joseph Dague, February 12, 2005 (open access)

Oral History Interview with Joseph Dague, February 12, 2005

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Joseph Dague. Dague joined the Army Air Forces Cadet Program in May of 1943. He trained on PT-17s, PT-13s, AT-10s, AT-6s and B-25s. He graduated from flying school in 1944 and transferred to the 434th Troop Carrier Command and went to George Field, Illinois. They were trained in pulling gliders and dropping paratroopers and supplies. He pulled Waco gliders and provides some detail of this experience. Dague worked on aircraft and at a railroad shop, filling box cars, though he never shipped out. He was discharged in 1946 as a second lieutenant. Upon being discharged he opted to sign up for active reserves, which he served in for 20 years. He served also in the Vietnam War and provides some details of those experiences.

Signatures of Spherical Compactifications at the LHC (open access)

Signatures of Spherical Compactifications at the LHC

TeV-scale extra dimensions may play an important role in electroweak or supersymmetry breaking. We examine the phenomenology of such dimensions, compactified on a sphere S{sup n}, n {ge} 2, and show that they possess distinct features and signatures. For example, unlike flat toroidal manifolds, spheres do not trivially allow fermion massless modes. Acceptable phenomenology then generically leads to ''non-universal'' extra dimensions with ''pole-localized'' 4-d fermions; the bosonic fields can be in the bulk. Due to spherical symmetry, some Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes of bulk gauge fields are either stable or extremely long-lived, depending on the graviton KK spectrum. Using precision electroweak data, we constrain the lightest gauge field KK modes to lie above {approx_equal} 4 TeV. We show that some of these KK resonances are within the reach of the LHC in several different production channels. The models we study can be uniquely identified by their collider signatures.

Endoscopic subsurface imaging in tissues (open access)

Endoscopic subsurface imaging in tissues

The objective of this work is to develop endoscopic subsurface optical imaging technology that will be able to image different tissue components located underneath the surface of the tissue at an imaging depth of up to 1 centimeter. This effort is based on the utilization of existing technology and components developed for medical endoscopes with the incorporation of the appropriate modifications to implement the spectral and polarization difference imaging technique. This subsurface imaging technique employs polarization and spectral light discrimination in combination with image processing to remove a large portion of the image information from the outer layers of the tissue which leads to enhancement of the contrast and image quality of subsurface tissue structures.

First Stabilization and Disposal of Radioactive Zinc Bromide at the SRS (open access)

First Stabilization and Disposal of Radioactive Zinc Bromide at the SRS

Facilities Disposition Projects (FDP) personnel at Savannah River Site (SRS) implement the Inactive Facility Risk Management Program to drive down risk and costs in SRS inactive facilities. The program includes cost-effective techniques to identify and dispose of hazardous chemicals and radioactive waste from inactive facilities, thereby ensuring adequate protection of the public, workers and the environment. In June 1998, FDP conducted an assessment of the inactive C-Reactor Facility to assure that chemical and radiological hazards had been identified and were being safely managed. The walkdown identified the need to mitigate a significant hazard associated with storing approximately 13,400 gallons of liquid radioactive Zinc Bromide in three aging railcar tankers outside of the facility. No preventive maintenance was being performed on the rusting tankers and a leak could send radioactive Zinc Bromide into an outfall and offsite to the Savannah River. In 2001, DOE-Savannah River (DOE- SR) funded the FDP to eliminate the identified hazard by disposing of the radioactive Zinc Bromide solution and the three contaminated railcar tankers. This paper describes the innovative, cost-effective approaches and technology used to perform the first stabilization and disposal of radioactive Zinc Bromide at SRS.
