Large scale calculations of the structure and dynamics of dense matter

Description: The physics of matter at high density has been found to be strongly influenced by transient quasi-molecular phenomena, the distribution of electron charge density among several nearby atoms. Calculations performed using the self-consistent field molecular dynamics approximation, a synthesis of techniques derived from quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics, have shown that such effects can result in more than a 30% increase in the diffusion coefficient of helium at 1 g/cc. The effect of finite… more

Where Water is Oxidized to Dioxygen: Structure of the Photosynthetic Mn4Ca Cluster from X-ray Spectroscopy

Description: Light-driven oxidation of water to dioxygen in plants, algae and cyanobacteria iscatalyzed within photosystem II (PS II) by a Mn4Ca cluster. Although the cluster has been studied by many different methods, the structure and the mechanism have remained elusive. X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy and EXAFS studies have been particularly useful in probing the electronic and geometric structure, and the mechanism of the water oxidation reaction. Recent progress, reviewed here, includes pola… more

Numerical Study of Coulomb Scattering Effects on Electron Beamfrom a Nano-Tip

Description: Nano-tips with high acceleration gradient around the emission surface have been proposed to generate high brightness beams. However, due to the small size of the tip, the charge density near the tip is very high even for a small number of electrons. The stochastic Coulomb scattering near the tip can degrade the beam quality and cause extra emittance growth and energy spread. In the paper, we present a numerical study of these effects using a direct relativistic N-body model. We found that emitt… more

Design of an electro-optical sampling experiment at the AWA facility

Description: The free space electro-optical (EO) sampling technique is a powerful tool for analyzing the longitudinal charge density of an ultrashort e-beam. In this paper, we present (1) experimental results for a laser-based mock-up of the EO experiment [1] and (2) a design for a beam-based, single-shot, EO sampling experiment using the e-beam from the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) RF photoinjector. For the mock-up, a tabletop terahertz experiment is conducted in the AWA laser room. The mock-up uses… more

ARPES study of the evolution of band structure and charge density wave properties in RTe3 ( R=Y , La, Ce, Sm, Gd, Tb, and Dy)

Description: We present a detailed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) investigation of the RTe3 family, which sets this system as an ideal"textbook" example for the formation of a nesting driven charge density wave (CDW). This family indeed exhibits the full range of phenomena that can be associated to CDWinstabilities, from the opening of large gaps on the best nested parts of Fermi surface (up to 0.4 eV), to the existence of residual metallic pockets. ARPES is the best suited tech… more

A Vlasov Solver for Longitudinal Dynamics in Beam Delivery Systems for X-Ray FELs

Description: Direct numerical methods for solving the Vlasov equationoffer some advantages over macroparticle simulations, as they do notsuffer from the consequences of the statistical fluctuations inherent inusing a number of macroparticles smaller than thebunch population.Unfortunately these methods are more time-consuming and generallyconsidered impractical in a full 6D phase space. However, in alower-dimension phase space they may become attractive if the beamdynamics is sensitive to the presence of sma… more

Revealing Charge Density Wave Formation in the LaTe2 System byAngle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy

Description: We present the first direct study of charge density wave(CDW) formation in quasi-2D single layer LaTe2 using high-resolutionangle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and low energy electrondiffraction (LEED). CDW formation is driven by Fermi surface (FS)nesting, however characterized by a surprisingly smaller gap (~;50 meV)than seen in the double layer RTe3 compounds, extending over the entireFS. This establishes LaTe2 as the first reported semiconducting 2D CDWsystem where the CDW phas… more

A FOUR-DIMENSIONAL VLASOV SOLVER FOR MICROBUNCHING INSTABILITY INTHE INJECTION SYSTEM FOR X-RAY FELS

Description: The micro-bunching instability (MBI) is seeded by small charge-density fluctuations in the electron bunches, and is successively amplified by the combined effect of space charge and coherent synchrotron radiation, as the beam travels through magnetic compressors. The quantitative understanding of this effect demands for accurate numerical simulations. Here we report on the progress of an upgrading of a 2D Vlasov solver code toward a 4D grid-based Vlasov solver, including also the transversedyna… more

The glasma initial state and JIMWLK factorization

Description: We review recent work on understanding the next to leading order corrections to the classical fields that dominate the initial stages of a heavy ion collision. We have recently shown that the leading ln 1/x divergences of these corrections to gluon multiplicities can be factorized into the JIMWLK evolution of the color charge density distributions.

A 3D Model for Ion Beam Formation and Transport Simulation

Description: In this paper, we present a three-dimensional model forself-consistently modeling ion beam formation from plasma ion sources andtransporting in low energy beam transport systems. A multi-sectionoverlapped computational domain has been used to break the originaltransport system into a number of weakly coupled subsystems. Within eachsubsystem, macro-particle tracking is used to obtain the charge densitydistribution in this subdomain. The three-dimensional Poisson equation issolved within the subd… more

Self Consistent Monte Carlo Method to Study CSR Effects in Bunch Compressors

Description: In this paper we report on the results of a self-consistent calculation of CSR effects on a particle bunch moving through the benchmark Zeuthen bunch compressors. The theoretical framework is based on a 4D Vlasov-Maxwell approach including shielding from the vacuum chamber. We calculate the fields in the lab frame, where time is the independent variable, and evolve the phase space density/points in the beam frame, where arc length, s, along a reference orbit, is the independent variable.

EXTRACTION COMPRESSION AND ACCELERATION OF HIGH LINE CHARGE DENSITY ION BEAMS

Description: High Energy Density Physics (HEDP) applications require high line charge density ion beams. An efficient method to obtain this type of beams is to extract a long pulse, high current beam from a gun at high energy, and let the beam pass through a decelerating field to compress it. The low energy beam-bunch is loaded into a solenoid and matched to a Brillouin flow. The Brillouin equilibrium is independent of the energy if the relationship between the beam size (a), solenoid magnetic field strengt… more

Charge and spin fluctuations in the density functional theory

Description: We introduce a conceptual framework which allow us to treat charge and spin fluctuations about the Local density Approximation (LDA) to the Density Functional Theory (DFT). We illustrate the approach by explicit study of the Disordered Local Moment (DLM) state in Fe above the Curie Temperature {Tc} and the Mott insulating state in MnO. 27 refs., 6 figs.

Neutron scattering study of premartensitic phases of TiNi(Fe)

Description: The premartensitic phases of TiNi(Fe) have been studied by means of neutron diffraction, specific heat, and electron microscopy. Evidence for an incommensurate charge density wave has been found, with a wavevector near, but not at, (h/3, k/3, 0) positions. A lock-in transition occurs at lower temperatures, accompanied by the formation of needle-shaped domains oriented along (110) directions.

Space-charge calculation for bunched beams with 3-D ellipsoidal symmetry

Description: A method for calculating 3-D space-charge forces has been developed that is suitable for bunched beams of either ions or relativistic electrons. The method is based on the analytic relations between charge-density and electric fields for a distribution with 3-D ellipsoidal symmetry in real space. At each step we use a Fourier-series representation for the smooth particle-density function obtained from the distribution of the macroparticles being tracked through the elements of the system.

Josephson oscillations of charge density waves

Description: The formation of charge density waves in solids was originally proposed as a possible mechanism for superconductivity by Froehlich. Although the experimentally discovered materials with charge density waves (CDW)s are found to have finite resistivity as a result of impurity pinning, they nevertheless reveal many interesting features including motion which is analogous to a resistively shunted Josephson junction of superconductors. The noise spectrum of CDW systems is reviewed with particular em… more

Incommensurate structures

Description: A review is given of recent neutron scattering studies of displacive incommensurate structures, and the instabilities that occur within periodic crystalline structures that lead to their formation. The concept of a soft phonon, in some cases associated with an electronic screening anomaly, is useful but not always capable of a completely satisfactory description. An unusual one-dimensional liquid-like phase has been studied in the non-stoichiometric mercury compound, Hg/sub 3-delta/AsF/sub 6/.

Charge state evolution in an ion trap irradiated by VUV synchrotron radiation

Description: The energies of photons obtainable from the VUV ring at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) are ideally suited for high-efficiency ionization of atomic outer-shell electrons. Given the high fluxes of photons available on a wiggler beam line, multiple photoionization in an ion trap can be easily achieved within times short compared to typical ion storage times in the trap. Measurements of the time evolution of ion populations in such a trap can yield ionic photoionization cross sections… more
