SUMMARY:APS : X-ray Spectroscopy Interest Gp
DESCRIPTION:X-ray Spectroscopy Special Interest Group \nSpeaker: Rachel Nickel\, European Synchrotron Research Facility \nTitle: Spectroscopic insights into multiferroic ε-Fe2O3 nanoparticles \nDate: Wednesday July 10\, 2024 \nTime: 11:00AM (Central Time) \nVirtual Link:\nMicrosoft Teams Need help?\nJoin the meeting now\nMeeting ID: 264 983 955 526\nPasscode: 6hJoJh \nAbstract:\nMultiferroic materials are a key element in the drive for technological advances. Materials that exhibit magnetoelectric coupling\, where the magnetic state can be controlled with an electric field and vice versa\, are of particular interest due to their potential role in the field of electronics. However\, fully exploiting such materials and their properties requires deeper knowledge of the underlying magnetic and electronic interactions than we currently possess. \nThe ε-phase of Fe2O3 is intriguing because it is a hard ferrimagnet with strong magnetoelectric coupling at room temperature.[1] As it contains only a single species of cation\, ε-Fe2O3 avoids some of the composition and stoichiometry challenges of similar perovskite oxides such as BiFeO3.[2] However\, such simplicity comes at a cost. Because each of the four structural sites contain only Fe3+ ions\, decoupling their interactions is not straightforward. As a result\, creative approaches are necessary to better understand this unique phase. \nIn this talk I will discuss the advantages of using variety of techniques (soft XAS/XMCD\, EXAFS\, Mössbauer spectroscopy) to examine ε-Fe2O3 and transition metal-doped ε-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. By identifying how the transition metal dopant ions serve to perturb the crystal and electronic structure of the parent phase we gain new insights into the Fe-O-Fe interactions of ε-Fe2O3. These results indicate that dynamic electronic interactions between neighbouring tetrahedral Fe sites play a significant role in this unique material’s most interesting properties.

SUMMARY:Modular Solutions for Obsolete Data Acquisition Hardware
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the APS Scientific Computation Seminar Series. \nModular Solutions for Obsolete Data Acquisition Hardware\nRob Knudson\, DAQ Hardware Group Leader\nNeutron Sciences Directorate\, Oak Ridge National Lab \nHosts:\nMathew Cherukara and Nicholas Schwarz \n1pm CDT on July 15\, 2024 \nAbstract:\nData Acquisition (DAQ) hardware for the neutron beamlines at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at ORNL are rapidly approaching obsolescence. The DAQ and Detector groups have been working on this issue for the last several years. A new modular hardware platform has been developed based on the industry standard FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) specification. A common carrier has been designed with a Xilinx 7-series FPGA and four FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) connectors. The common carrier serves as the base platform for the modular hardware. A suite of FMC daughter boards has been designed including several communication cards and a Read-Out-Controller (ROC) card which serves as the A/D interface to the detectors. The combination of a carrier with custom or commercial FMCs enables the development of drop-in compatible replacements of legacy DAQ electronics while providing a bridge to the future with modern protocols and communication media. Additionally\, an External Instrument Control (EIC) framework within the EPICS control system for ORNL neutron instruments facilitates AI/ML inference deployment at the edge where the edge can be as close to the detectors as the analog-to-digital interface utilizing modular hardware. This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy\, Office of Science\, Scientific User Facilities Division under Contract No. DE-AC05-00OR22725. \nZoom link: https://argonne.zoomgov.com/j/1601444470?pwd=N1phbHZVdCtmcVR5cGh0c1Zhc0orZz09 \nMeeting ID: 160 144 4470\nPasscode: 937918\nOne tap mobile \n+16692545252\,\,1601444470# US (San Jose) \n+16468287666\,\,1601444470# US (New York) \nDial by your location \n\n+1 669 254 5252 US (San Jose)\n+1 646 828 7666 US (New York)\n+1 646 964 1167 US (US Spanish Line)\n+1 669 216 1590 US (San Jose)\n+1 415 449 4000 US (US Spanish Line)\n+1 551 285 1373 US (New Jersey)\n\nMeeting ID: 160 144 4470 \nFind your local number: https://argonne.zoomgov.com/u/af2crdvQy

SUMMARY:ALS: Presentation on AI Systems for Science
DESCRIPTION:Please join the lab-wide presentation: FASST: Building Frontier AI Systems for Science and the Path to Zettascale this Thursday\, July 18\, 2024 at 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM in Building 240\, Room 1416. You can also join via Zoom using the link below. \nSpeaker: Rick Stevens\, CELS Associate Laboratory Director and Argonne Distinguished Fellow \nAbstract: The successful development of transformative applications of AI for science\, medicine\, and energy research will have a profound impact on the world. The rate of development of AI capabilities continues to accelerate\, and the scientific community is becoming increasingly agile in using AI\, leading to significant changes in how science and engineering goals will be pursued in the future. \nFrontier AI (the leading edge of AI systems) enables small teams to conduct increasingly complex investigations\, accelerating tasks such as generating hypotheses\, writing code\, and automating entire scientific campaigns. However\, certain challenges remain resistant to AI acceleration such as human-to-human communication\, large-scale systems integration\, and assessing creative contributions. Taken together\, these developments signify a shift toward more capital-intensive science as productivity gains from AI will drive resource allocations to groups that can effectively leverage AI into scientific outputs. Also\, as AI becomes the major driver of innovation in high-performance computing\, major shifts in the computing marketplace will occur over the next decade as a growing performance gap is established between systems designed for traditional scientific computing versus those optimized for large-scale AI such as Large Language Models (LLMs). \nIn response to these trends while also in recognition of the role of government supported research to shape the future research landscape\, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has created the Frontier AI for Science\, Security\, and Technology (FASST) initiative. FASST is a decadal research and infrastructure development initiative aimed at accelerating the creation and deployment of frontier AIsystems for science\, energy research\, and national security. \nALD Rick Stevens will present a sweeping overview of the FASST initiative\, including a review of the initiative’s goals\, along with how it’ll transform the research of the DOE national laboratories. The talk will touch on the recently established Trillion Parameter Consortium (TPC)\, whose aim is to foster a community-wide effort to accelerate the creation of large-scale generative AI for science\, as well as the AuroraGPT project\, an international collaboration to build a series of multilingual multimodal foundation models for science that are pretrained on deep domain knowledge to enable them to play key roles in future scientific enterprises. \nThis Lab-wide presentation invites all Laboratory staff\, scientists\, and students to attend and engage on a groundbreaking direction of science. \nJoin via Zoom link here: https://argonne.zoomgov.com/j/1610819589?pwd=ce4gIA7SgMHxe9bXH00br1ZLHxej5z.1

SUMMARY:Argonne: NST Colloquium on the Chemistry of Promethium
DESCRIPTION:NST Colloquium \nTitle: Exploring the Unchartered Chemistry of Promethium: Insights into Lanthanide Contraction \nSpeaker:\nAlex Ivanov\nPhysical Chemistry\nOak Ridge National Laboratory \nHost: Saw Wai Hla \nDate: Wednesday\, July 31\, 2024 \nTime: 11:00 am \nIn-Person Location:  Bldg. 440\, A105/A106 \nVirtual Link: https://argonne.zoomgov.com/j/1613912289 \nAbstract: Lanthanide rare-earth metals are integral to modern technologies\, yet the chemistry of promethium (Pm)\, the 61st element\, remains largely unexplored due to its high radioactivity and inaccessibility. Despite its significance\, Pm has been notably absent from experimental studies\, hindering our understanding of the lanthanide contraction—a key concept in the periodic table discussed in general chemistry textbooks. In this talk\, I will present the successful chelation of the 147Pm radionuclide (with a half-life of 2.62 years) in an aqueous solution using a newly synthesized organic diglycolamide ligand. The resulting homoleptic PmIII complex was investigated through synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations\, revealing the coordination structure and bond distance of promethium. These findings enable a comprehensive structural analysis of a complete set of isostructural lanthanide complexes\, capturing the lanthanide contraction in solution solely based on experimental data. Our results demonstrate accelerated bond shortening at the beginning of the lanthanide series\, correlating with separation trends observed in diglycolamides. The characterization of the radioactive PmIII complex in an aqueous environment enhances our understanding of intra-lanthanide behavior and the chemistry and separation of f-block elements. \nSpeaker Bio: Dr. Alex Ivanov is a Research Staff Scientist in the Chemical Sciences Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He received his Ph.D. from Utah State University in 2015. Dr. Ivanov’s research lies broadly in the development and application of neutron/X-ray scattering and spectroscopy techniques and theoretical methods to investigate processes and functional materials for energy-relevant technologies\, including chemical separations\, molecular recognition\, radiotherapy\, nuclear materials\, and sustainability. His recent projects include fundamental investigations of lanthanide and actinide contraction phenomenon in solution and elucidating coordination chemistry of radiopharmaceutical compounds using synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
