Solvent-Pore Interactions in the Easgle Ford Shale Formation

February 15, 2019
Author(s)
Victoria H. DiStefano, Joanna McFarlane, Andrew G. Stack, Edmund Perfect, David F. Mildner, Markus Bleuel, Steve J. Chipera, Kenneth C. Littrell, Michael C. Cheshire, Katherine E. Manz, Lawrence M Anovitz
The effect of solvent extraction on pore space was examined on a suite of samples from the Eagle Ford Shale Formation with varying lithologies and maturities. Several solvents were contacted with shales, extracting the compatible organic matter. The

Porous Zero-Mode Waveguides for Picogram-Level DNA Capture

February 13, 2019
Author(s)
Vivek Jadhav, David Hoogerheide, Jonas Korlach, Meni Wanunu
We have recently shown that nanopore zero-mode waveguides are effective tools for capturing picogram levels of long DNA fragments for single-molecule DNA sequencing. Despite these key advantages, manufacturing of large arrays is not practical due to the

Optimization of Reflectometry Experiments using Information Theory

February 1, 2019
Author(s)
Bradley W. Treece, Paul A. Kienzle, David Hoogerheide, Charles Majkrzak, Mathias Loesche, Frank Heinrich
A method based on Bayesian statistics and information theory is developed to analyze the information gain Δ}H of surface-sensitive reflectometry experiments. After presenting the underlying mathematical framework and its implementation, the method is

Ni 2 Mo 3 O 8 : Complex Antiferromagnetic Order on a Honeycomb Lattice

January 18, 2019
Author(s)
Jennifer R. Morey, Allen Scheie, John P. Sheckelton, Craig Brown, Tyrel M. McQueen
Theoretical studies have predicted the existence of topological magnons in honeycomb compounds with zig-zag antiferromagnetic (AFM) order. Here we report this discovery of zig-zag AFM order in the layered and non-centrosymmetric honeycomb nickelate Ni 2Mo

High-Pressure Synthesis of A 2 NiO 2 Ag 2 Se 2 (A=Sr, Ba) with a High-Spin Ni 2+ in Square-Planar Coordination

January 14, 2019
Author(s)
Yuki Matsumoto, Takafumi Yamamoto, Kousuke Nakano, Hiroshi Takatsu, Taito Murakami, Kenta Hongo, Ryo Maezono, Hiraku Ogino, Dongjoon Song, Craig Brown, Tassel Cedric, Hiroshi Kageyama
Square-planar coordinate Ni 2+ ions in oxides are exclusively limited to a low spin state (S = 0) owing to extensive crystal field splitting. Here we report layered oxychalcogenides A 2NiO 2Ag 2Se 2 (A = Sr, Ba) with the S = 1 NiO 2 square lattice. The

Near-Surface Elemental Analysis of Solids by Neutron Depth Profiling

December 31, 2018
Author(s)
Jamie Weaver, Robert Gregory Downing
Neutron Depth Profiling (NDP) is an analytical nuclear technique for the determination of elemental mass as a function of depth into a sample's surface. It is suitable for characterizing a few select elements in most solid materials to depths of

Evaluation of Nanoscale Accessible Pore Structures for Improved Prediction of Gas Production Potential in Chinese Marine Shales

December 20, 2018
Author(s)
Yang Wang, Yong Qin, Rui Zhang, Lilin He, Lawrence M Anovitz, Markus Bleuel, David F. Mildner, Shimin Liu, Yanming Zhu
The lower Cambrian Niutiang and Lower Silurian Longmaxi shales in the Upper Yangtze Platform (UYP) are considered as the most promising strata for shale gas exploration in China. To shed light on the study of evaluation of nanoscale pore structure for

Rana Ashkar, Hassina Z. Bilheux, Heliosa Bordallo, Robert Briber, David J. E. Callaway, Xiaolin Cheng, Xiang-Qiang Chu, Joseph E. Curtis, Mark Dadmun, Paul Fenimore, David Fushman, Frank Gabel, Kushol Gupta, Frederick Herberle, Frank Heinrich, Liang Hong, John Katsaras, Zvi Kelman, Eugenia Kharlampieva, Gerald R. Kneller, Andrey Kovalevsky, Susan T. Krueger, Paul Langan, Raquel Lieberman, Yun Liu, Mathias Losche, Edward Lyman, Yimin NMN Mao, John Marino, Carla Mattos, Flora Meilleur, Peter Moody, Jonathan D. Nickels, William B. O'Dell, Hugh O'Neill, Ursula Perez-Salas, Judith Peters, Loukas Petridis, Alexei P. Sokolov, Robert Sutherland, Norman Wagner, Michael NMN Weinrich, Kevin Weiss, Troy Wymore, Yang Zhang, Jeremy C. Smith
The scattering of neutrons can be used to provide information on the structure and dynamics of biological systems on multiple scales of length and time. Pursuant to an NSF-funded workshop in February 2018, we review recent developments in this field as
