Dynamics of Molecular Associates in Methanol/Water Mixtures

January 26, 2022
Author(s)
Yanqin Zhai, Peng Luo, Jackson Waller, Jeffrey L. Self, Leland Harriger, Y. Z., Antonio Faraone
The dynamics of molecular associates in methanol/water mixtures was investigated using quasielastic neutron scattering. By measuring the signal from four methanol/water samples differing only by their isotopic composition, the relative motion of the water

Predicting the plateau modulus from molecular parameters of conjugated polymers

January 18, 2022
Author(s)
Abigail Fenton, Renxuan Xie, Melissa Aplan, Youngmin Lee, Michael Gill, Ryan Fair, Fabian Kempe, Michael Sommer, Chad R. Snyder, Enrique Gomez, Ralph Colby
The relationship between Kuhn length lk, Kuhn monomer volume v0, and plateau modulus GN0 , initially proposed by Graessley and Edwards for flexible polymers, and extended by Everaers, has a large gap in experimental data between the flexible and stiff

Considerations in applying neutron depth profiling to Li-ion battery research

December 14, 2021
Author(s)
Daniel Lyons, Jamie Weaver, Anne Co
Li distribution within micron-scale battery electrode materials is quantified with neutron depth profiling (NDP). This method allows determination of intra- and inter-electrode parameters such as lithiation efficiency, electrode morphology change and Li

The PROSPECT Experiment

December 14, 2021
Author(s)
Hans Pieter Mumm
The Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment, PROSPECT, is designed to both perform a reactor-model independent search for eV-scale sterile neutrino oscillations at meter-long baselines and to make a precise measurement of the antineutrino

Solution Structures of Bacillus Anthracis Protective Antigen Proteins using Small Angle Neutron Scattering and Protective Antigen 63 Ion Channel Formation Kinetics

December 11, 2021
Author(s)
Ariel Michelman-Ribeiro, Kenneth A. Rubinson, Vitalii Silin, John J. Kasianowicz
We are studying the structures of bacterial toxins that form ion channels and catalyze macromolecule transport across membranes. For example, the crystal structure of the Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin (α-HL) channel in its functional state was

Hydrogen in nonstoichiometric cubic titanium monoxides: X-ray and neutron diffraction, neutron vibrational spectroscopy and NMR studies

December 1, 2021
Author(s)
A. V. Skripov, A. V. Soloninin, A. A. Valeeva, A. I. Gusev, A. A. Rempel, Hui Wu, Terrence J. Udovic
Hydrogen-induced changes in the properties of transition-metal oxides have attracted much recent attention due to numerous applications of these materials including catalysis, H2 production, low-temperature H2 sensing, solar cells, and air purification

In-situ Monitoring of Protein Unfolding/Structural States under Cold High-Pressure Stress

November 26, 2021
Author(s)
Diana Gomes, Susana C. Marujo Teixeira, Juscelino Leao, Vladimir Razinkov, Wei Qi, Miguel Rodrigues, Christopher Roberts
Biopharmaceutical formulations may be compromised by freezing, which has been attributed to protein conformational changes at a low temperature, and adsorption to ice−liquid interfaces. However, direct measurements of unfolding/conformational changes in

EFFECT OF FLUID PROPERTIES ON CONTACT ANGLES IN THE EAGLE FORD SHALE MEASURED WITH SPONTANEOUS IMBIBITION

November 19, 2021
Author(s)
Joanna McFarlane, Victoria H. DiStefano, Philip R. Bingham, Hassina Z. Bilheux, Michael C. Cheshire, Richard E. Hale, Daniel Hussey, David Jacobson, Lindsay M. Kolbus, Jacob LaManna, Edmund Perfect, Mark Rivers, Louis J. Santodonato, Lawrence M. Anovitz
Models of fluid flow are used to improve the efficiency of oil and gas extraction and to estimate the storage and leakage of carbon dioxide in geologic reservoirs. Therefore, a quantitative understanding of key parameters of rock-fluid interactions, such

Iridate Li 8 IrO 6 : An Antiferromagnetic Insulator

November 15, 2021
Author(s)
Callista M. Skaggs, Peter E. Siegfried, Chang-Jong Kang, Craig Brown, Fu Chen, Lu Ma, Steven N. Ehrlich, Yan Xin, Mark Croft, Wenqian Xu, Saul H. Lapidus, Nirmal J. Ghimire, Xiaoyan Tan
A poltcrystalline iridate, Li 8IrO 6, material was prepared via heating Li 2O and IrO 2 starting materials in a sealed quartz tube at 650 °C for 48 hours. The structure was determined from Rietveld refinement of room temperature powder neutron diffraction

Quantifying and Suppressing Proton Intercalation to Enable High-Voltage Zn-Ion Batteries

November 4, 2021
Author(s)
Fei Wang, Lauren E. Blanc, Qin Li, Antonio Faraone, Xiao Ji, Huaiyu H. Chen-Mayer, Rick L. Paul, Joseph Dura, Enyuan Hu, Kang Xu, Linda F. Nazar, Chunsheng Wang
We explore the Zn-ion intercalation mechanisms/interfacial dynamics of VPO 4F and quantify the water dynamics in water-in-salt (WISE) and hybrid aqueous-non aqueous electrolytes (HANEs). We demonstrate that H + intercalation dominates electrochemical
