Laboratory Evaluation Of A Novel Self-Healable Polymer Gel For Co2 Leakage Remediation During Co2 Storage And Co2 Flooding, Tao Song, Zhanmiao Zhai, Junchen Liu, Yugandhara Eriyagama, Mohamed Ahdaya, Adel Alotibi, Ze Wang, Thomas P. Schuman, Baojun Bai

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

For CO2 storage in subsurface reservoirs, one of the most crucial requirements is the ability to remediate the leakage caused by the natural fractures or newly generated fractures due to the increasing pore pressure associated with CO2 injection. For CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), high conductivity features such as fractures and void space conduits can severely restrict the CO2 sweep efficiency. Polymer gels have been developed to plug the leakage and improve the sweep efficiency. This work evaluated a CO2 resistant branched self-healable preformed particle gel (CO2-BRPPG) for CO2 plugging purpose. This …


Random Strain Induced Correlations In Materials With Intertwined Nematic And Magnetic Orders, W. Joe Meese, Thomas Vojta, Rafael M. Fernandes Sep 2022

Random Strain Induced Correlations In Materials With Intertwined Nematic And Magnetic Orders, W. Joe Meese, Thomas Vojta, Rafael M. Fernandes

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Electronic nematicity is rarely observed as an isolated instability of a correlated electron system. Instead, in iron pnictides and in certain cuprates and heavy-fermion materials, nematicity is intertwined with an underlying spin-stripe or charge-stripe state. As a result, random strain, ubiquitous in any real crystal, creates both random-field disorder for the nematic degrees of freedom and random-bond disorder for the spin or charge ones. Here, we put forward an Ashkin-Teller model with random Baxter fields to capture the dual role of random strain in nematic systems for which nematicity is a composite order arising from a stripe state. Using Monte …

The recent breakthrough in wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has empowered wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs) by facilitating stable and continuous energy supply to sensors through mobile chargers (MCs). A plethora of studies have been carried out over the last decade in this regard. However, no comprehensive survey exists to compile the state-of-the-art literature and provide insight into future research directions. To fill this gap, we put forward a detailed survey on mobile charging techniques (MCTs) in WRSNs. In particular, we first describe the network model, various WPT techniques with empirical models, system design issues and performance metrics concerning the …


Numerical Analysis Of A Second Order Ensemble Method For Evolutionary Magnetohydrodynamics Equations At Small Magnetic Reynolds Number, John Carter, Nan Jiang Sep 2022

Numerical Analysis Of A Second Order Ensemble Method For Evolutionary Magnetohydrodynamics Equations At Small Magnetic Reynolds Number, John Carter, Nan Jiang

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We study a second order ensemble method for fast computation of an ensemble of magnetohydrodynamics flows at small magnetic Reynolds number. Computing an ensemble of flow equations with different input parameters is a common procedure for uncertainty quantification in many engineering applications, for which the computational cost can be prohibitively expensive for nonlinear complex systems. We propose an ensemble algorithm that requires only solving one linear system with multiple right-hands instead of solving multiple different linear systems, which significantly reduces the computational cost and simulation time. Comprehensive stability and error analyses are presented proving conditional stability and second order in …

Many gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been observed from radio wavelengths, and a few at very high energies (VHEs, >100 GeV). The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) gamma-ray observatory is well suited to study transient phenomena at VHEs owing to its large field of view and duty cycle. These features allow for searches of VHE emission and can probe different model assumptions of duration and spectra. In this paper, we use data collected by HAWC between 2014 December and 2020 May to search for emission in the energy range from 80 to 800 GeV coming from a sample of 47 short GRBs …

A Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin Time-Domain Method With Robin Transmission Condition For Transient Thermal Analysis Of 3-D Integrated Circuits, Xuan Zhang, Ping Li, Xiao Chun Li, Li (Lijun) Jun Jiang, Jun Fa Mao

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this article, a discontinuous Galerkin time-domain (DGTD) method hybridized with Robin transmission condition (RTC-DGTD) is proposed for the transient thermal analysis of 3-D integrated circuits (ICs). As a kind of domain decomposition method (DDM), the DGTD method employs a term named numerical flux for the information exchange of solutions between neighboring subdomains. The numerical flux is a function of both temperature T and heat flux q, and thus for the heat equation, apart from T, the variable q has to be solved as well. To reach this, the traditional DGTD method decomposes the second-order partial-differential thermal equation into two …

In this letter, the quasi-Helmholtz projectors are applied to address numerical cancellation of augmented electric field integral equation (A-EFIE). The projectors rescale the term overline {bf V} cdot i{k}_0{bf j} and right-hand side to guarantee that the solution is stable at very low frequency. The improved system is full rank without removing the singularity caused by charge neutrality. Compared to the EFIE with quasi-Helmholtz projectors, this letter presents a better convergence performance and takes less computational cost. The numerical results show that the solution of both scattering problems and circuit problems can ensure the accuracy in the low-frequency regime.

Be Smart, Save I/O: A Probabilistic Approach To Avoid Uncorrectable Errors In Storage Systems, Md Arifuzzaman, Masudul Bhuiyan, Mehmet Gumus, Engin Arslan

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Silent data corruption poses a significant risk to the integrity of data in storage systems. Although error correction codes (ECC) can recover the majority of such errors, a nonnegligible portion of them escape ECC, referred as uncorrectable errors (UEs). Despite being rare in nature, increasing scale of storage systems and fast-growing I/O rates decreased the mean time between UEs from months to hours. Yet, unlike disk failures, UEs are hard to predict with high precision, making it difficult to adopt proactive measures. In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic approach to deploy UE mitigation strategies that can capture significant portion …

Polyphenols and representative small phenolic acids and molecules derived from larger constituents are dietary antioxidants from fruits, vegetables and largely other plant-based sources that have ability to scavenge free radicals. What is often neglected in polyphenol metabolism is bioavailability and the role of the gut microbiota (GMB), which has an essential role in health and disease and participates in co-metabolism with the host. The composition of the gut microbiota is in constant flux and is modified by multiple intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including antibiotics. Dietary or other factors are key modulators of the host gut milieu. In this review, we …

The role of disorder and particularly of the interfacial region between crystalline and amorphous phases of indium oxide in the formation of hydrogen defects with covalent (In-OH) or ionic (In-H-In) bonding are investigated using ab initio molecular dynamics and hybrid density-functional approaches. The results reveal that disorder stabilizes In-H-In defects even in the stoichiometric amorphous oxide and also promotes the formation of deep electron traps adjacent to In-OH defects. Furthermore, below-room-temperature fluctuations help switch interfacial In-H-In into In-OH, creating a new deep state in the process. This H-defect transformation limits not only the number of free carriers but also the …

We study the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity for currents directed along all crystallographic axes of the spin-triplet superconductor UTe2. We focus particularly on an accurate determination of the resistivity along the c axis (ρc) by using a generalized Montgomery technique that allows extraction of crystallographic resistivity components from a single sample. In contrast to expectations from the observed highly anisotropic band structure, our measurement of the absolute values of resistivities in all current directions reveals a surprisingly nearly isotropic transport behavior at temperatures above Kondo coherence, with ρc∼ρb∼2ρa, that evolves to reveal qualitatively distinct behaviors on cooling. The temperature …

One of the most promising avenues in 2D materials research is the synthesis of antiferromagnets employing 2D van der Waals (vdW) magnets. However, it has proven challenging, due in part to the complicated fabrication process and undesired adsorbates as well as the significantly deteriorated ferromagnetism at atomic layers. Here, the engineering of the antiferromagnetic (AFM) interlayer exchange coupling between atomically thin yet ferromagnetic CrTe2 layers in an ultra-high vacuum-free 2D magnetic crystal, Cr5Te8 is reported. By self-introducing interstitial Cr atoms in the vdW gaps, the emergent AFM ordering and the resultant giant magnetoresistance effect are induced. A large negative magnetoresistance …

Channel equalization is the efficient method for recovering distorted signal and correspondingly reducing bit error rate (BER). Different type of equalizations, like feed forward equalization (FFE) and decision feedback equalization (DFE) are canceling channel effect and recovering channel response. Separate optimization of tap coefficients for FFE and DFE does not give optimal result. In this case FFE and DFE tap coefficients are found separately and they are not collaborating. Therefore, the final equalization result is not global optimal. In the present paper new analytical method for finding best tap coefficients for FFE and DFE joint equalization is introduced.

Using Coherence And Interference To Study The Few Body Dynamics In Simple Atomic Collisions Systems, Sujan Bastola

Doctoral Dissertations

"Atomic Collision experiments are best suited to sensitively test the few-body dynamics of simple systems. The few-body dynamics, in turn, can be sensitively affected by interference effects. However, an important requirement to observe interference effects in atomic scattering experiments is that the incoming projectile beam must be coherent. The coherence properties of the incoming projectile can be controlled by the geometry of the collimating slit placed before the target. We performed a kinematically complete experiment where a 75 keV proton beam is crossed with a molecular hydrogen beam to study the dissociative capture process. The motivation for this project was …
