PI: Spatiotemporal Evolution of High-Density Surface Plasmas Produced by Prompt X-rays

Defense Thread Reduction Agency 

2018-04-22

A high-altitude nuclear burst can radiate 70 to 80 percent of its released energy as X-rays. A major effect of prompt cold X-rays to a few microns of satellite surface materials is surface vaporization, ionization, and generation of high-density blow-off plasma. Solar cells are more susceptible to prompt X-rays, since the large surface area is exposed to radiation and cannot be substantially shielded. Implications of X-ray irradiation of solar cells are potentially quite serious. The surface plasmas can couple the solar cells to each other and to dielectric structures causing them to be destroyed. The objective of the proposed research is to explore the physics mechanisms of prompt cold X-ray absorption by metallic and dielectric materials, formation and expansion phases of produced warm dense plasma (WDP), and its physical and electrical properties. We propose to study the fundamental physics of the formation and spatiotemporal evolution of WDPs using the Monte Carlo (MC) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) methods coupled with the Hartree-Fock-Slater (HFS) - Collisional-Radiative Steady-State (CRSS) model. This basic research covering the science of the creation, time evolution, and physical properties of WDPs generated in the cold X-ray radiation environment will improve our understanding of ways to design more survivable solar arrays for satellites.

PI: Predictive Simulations Of Thermodynamic And Optical Properties Of Warm Dense Matter

Defense Thread Reduction Agency 

2011-07-18

The regime of warm dense matter (WDM) corresponds to the phase diagram with densities ranging from 0.1 to 10-fold solid density and temperatures from 1 to 100 eV where the thermal, Coulomb and Fermi energies are nearly equal. Regimes of WDM include nuclear bursts, laser-plasma and particle beam-target interaction experiments. As WDM represents a complex regime at the interface of the condensed matter physics and plasma physics, the conventional theories developed for these fields are inadequate to predict the thermodynamic properties. The physics models that are based on reliable information directly derived from the WDM state, but not extrapolated from condensed matter or plasma systems, are required for high-fidelity predictions of thermodynamic and optical properties. A self-consistent quantum-mechanical (QM) treatment has to be implemented. The new development of advanced simulation tools is based on truly ab initio electronic structure methods beyond mean-field theories, able to predict reliably thermodynamic and optical properties of WDM. The equation of state and transport properties are determined on the atomistic scale, since the coupled, multi-physics behavior of the WDM regime is described from QM perspective. The proposed activities can significantly improve the understanding of material properties of WDM such as equations of state, electrical conductivity, optical properties under extreme conditions.

Co-PI: Modeling of SNM Fission Signatures and Cosmic-ray Induced Neutron Backgrounds

DOE/NNSA 

2010-06-15

Nuclear materials yield very unique fission signatures, namely prompt and delayed neutrons and γ-rays. The challenge is to discriminate these time-coincident (correlated) neutrons and γ-rays emitted from shielded Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) and those originating from non-correlated or differently-correlated environmental sources. Neutron bursts or flashes can be produced at ground level by penetrating components of cosmic radiation, which produce peaks in neutron multiplicity distributions. These neutrons are also time-correlated. A neutron detector analyzing the “gross-counting” or evaluating the distribution in time has no means of distinguishing the neutrons generated by cosmic rays and those emitted by an SNM source, thus causing false alarms. Therefore, the ability of SNM detectors to use many parameters such as the number, energy, angle and arrival time of neutrons and γ-rays offers important improvements to identify the presence of SNM. The main objective of the research is to predict the time-correlated signatures and joint distributions of the energy, angle, number and arrival time of neutrons and γ-rays from spontaneous and induced fission of shielded SNM and those originated from cosmic rays. The MONSOL computer code is upgraded and adapted to perform Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of the transport of prompt and delayed neutrons and γ-rays. Both cosmic and SNM induced neutron and γ-ray energy and angular spectra, multiplicity distributions and arrival times are calculated, compared, analyzed and collected. The joint number distributions of neutrons and γ-rays and their correlation per spontaneous or induced fission event are evaluated in the MC simulations. The outcomes of the project are joint probability distribution functions and the statistical errors of the SNM signatures. The results allow a better understanding of the correlations of the energy, angle, number and arrival time of neutrons and γ-rays produced from the fission of SNM.

Key Investigator: Integrated Prediction and Benchmarking of Material Damage and Lifetime Analysis during Major Plasma Instabilities in Fusion Devices

DOE 

2008-04-01

Damage to plasma facing components (PFCs) and structural materials during normal and abnormal operations due to plasma interaction and loss of confinement in tokamak devices remains one of the most serious concerns for safe, successful, and reliable reactor operation. Extrapolation of heat loads and particle fluxes on PFCs during normal and abnormal operations to ITER parameters indicates serious consequences of lifetime and contamination issues. A significant erosion mechanism and plasma contamination issues are predicted from macroscopic melt splashes and losses due various forces acting on metallic divertor plates and wall materials. Understanding physical mechanisms of melt layer and vaporization losses during plasma instabilities is critical for successful development of fusion reactors and for developing effective mitigation methods. A critical issue for normal operation is sputtering of plasma facing surfaces by plasma ions and neutrals. There are three concerns, erosion of PFCs, tritium codeposition in growing redeposited surface layers and further contamination of the core plasma from sputtered (and related processes) material. Composite/mixed materials as PFCs in ITER-like devices add significant complexity to understanding the effects of core plasma particles impact on PFC surfaces, erosion lifetime, core plasma contamination, fuel particle recycling, and surface material protective properties. This is a very important area and not much attention has been made in understanding the integrated effects and the interplay of all physical processes involved. An integrated model is developed and enhanced to study all erosion phenomena and plasma contamination in full 3D divertor configurations and nearby components.

Key Investigator: Modeling of Ion Pores

NIH/NIGMS 

2004-09-30

This proposal describes theoretical approaches for relating structural features of ion channel proteins and of their phospholipid environment to channel behavior and function, stressing problems central to excitable cell physiology and controlled water transport. The calculations are designed to clarify issues in permeation and gating. A new approach to determining reaction pathways in proteins, ones involving large energy barriers, is outlined. It is based on available crystallographic data and used to determine permeation pathways in systems, like CIC chloride channels, where the paths cannot be established by structural inspection. It is used to identify the cooperative, low frequency, high amplitude vibrational modes that control gating. It is applied to CIC chloride channels to establish the mechanism that couples conductance with the fast gate and to search for the structural factors that control the slow gate. It is applied to aquaporins to better characterize the mechanism of proton rejection, and to elucidate the physical basis for high water turnover and for water/alditol selectivity. It is applied to potassium channels to clarify how coupling between the cations and the selectivity filter leads to C-type inactivation and influences normal activation, to reconcile contradictions between structural and electrophysiological studies of the voltage sensor and to elucidate the mechanism of voltage gating. Channel-membrane interaction influences gating, most clearly for mechanically gated assemblies. A new, efficient way to treat membrane-mediated influences between a channel's transmembrane segments is outlined. It will be validated on alamethecin and used to better characterize gating of the MscL channel.

Investigator: Electrostatic Modeling of Ion Pores

NIH/NIGMS 

2000-10-12

This proposal describes theoretical ways to relate structural features of ion channel proteins and of their phospholipid environment to channel behavior, stressing problems central to excitable cell physiology. Model calculations clarifying issues in permeation and selectivity are described. An important approach to simulation, constructing force fields reliable in channel environments, is described. A new way to treat lipid influences on channels is outlined. Calculations of free energy profiles, based on an exact, computationally efficient way to treat a limited number of molecular features of the ion(s), water and protein charges that surround and form the aqueous pore, are proposed and used to understand and interpret major structural features of the selectivity domain of potassium channels: Why is it multiply occupied? Why does it reject small alkali cations? Why the bridge water is loosely coordinated? The method is applied to crystalline gramicidin conformers to determine why some favor anion occupancy. As more channel structural data (on nicotinic and voltage gated cation families) become available, their selectivity and permeation characteristics will be investigated. Ways to meld these exact techniques with standard simulation methods are described. An application that may disentangle the enthalpic from the entropic influences on the permeation kinetics of the model potassium channel is presented. A new way to construct water-water and ion-water force fields is outlined. This approach, by accurately treating short-range structural forces and intermediate range electrostatics, is designed to yield force fields reliable over a wide range of thermodynamic phase space. Water and hydrated species in channels and in bulk water are very different structurally. Reliable simulational methods must account for thee differences. The new force fields, being valid over extended p-V-T domains, answer this need. Channel formation is greatly influenced by interaction with the membrane. The crucial interactions correlate surface displacements in membrane regions about a bilayer width apart. At such short separations elastic behavior becomes cooperative. A new electroelastic theory of membranes is outlined and used to study peptide insertion energetics.

Investigator: Mathematical Simulation of Natural and Human Activity Accidents and Their Influence on Environmental Conditions and Ecology

INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER (ISTC) 

1996-04-01

The goal of this research project awarded by the International Science and Technology Center (ISTC) to the group of Russian research institutions was to convert the activities of Russian nuclear weapon scientists to civil purposes and to promote solution of scientific and technological problems in ecology and environment protection. Large-scale accidents caused by the impact of large space bodies, eruption of volcanoes, unpremeditated explosions of ammunition depots, accidents at oil depots, oil- and gas-pipelines, atomic power stations despite the difference in the dynamics of their development, have a lot of common features with a nuclear detonation. All of them to a certain degree represent a combination of such physical processes as an intensive gas dynamic flow of compressible and incompressible substances, molecular and radiative heat exchange, elastic behavior and destruction of the condensed phase of substance, fusion, evaporation and condensation, ejection of large quantities of substance and heat into the atmosphere, complex chemical reactions between initial products. The consequences of such events frequently have significant influence on the ecological conditions and environment. Existing methods of simulation as well as those being developed allow to predict the dynamics of complex processes and their consequences at various time, spatial and energy scales. Therefore, it is difficult to overestimate the relevance of such a computational approach. In this relation the goal of this research project consists in the development of an integrated approach to the solution of a broad range of problems of large-scale energetic catastrophes using methods of mathematical simulation. This requires improvement and development of new physical-mathematical models of various phenomena, accompanying large explosive and impact type energetic catastrophes, improvement and development of new physical-mathematical models of material properties at high density of energy, development of numerical algorithms and their implementation, and creation of software for execution of a numerical experiment.
