μ m) composite and thick (350μ m) all active material battery porous electrodes were prepared for estimating the diffusion coefficient of Li+( in tellurium (Te) during electrochemical lithiation. Galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were applied to quantify the chemical lithium solid-state diffusion coefficient within the Te active material in the electrodes. Multiple methods of GITT and EIS were assessed. For the composite Te electrodes, the was on the order of 10−11cm2s−1from both CV and GITT methods, but 10−9cm2s−1from EIS. For the thick tellurium electrodes, both GITT and EIS resulted in lithium diffusion coefficient estimates in the range of 10−11–10−12cm2s−1. The general trend across all methods that quantified the diffusion coefficient as a function of lithiation of tellurium was that the decreased rapidly when the Te material was initially lithiated. The at the phase transition voltage plateau (∼1.7 V, vs Li/Li+, where both Te and Li2Te were expected) had the lowest while the both before and after the plateau was generally higher. Among all the electrochemical measurements of the modified GITT method with modelling the relaxation region resulted in relatively low scatter in the data, provided values as a function of lithiation, and was well suited to thick electrodes with a flat discharge plateau as was the case herein. -
Abstract Gravitational-wave (GW) detections of binary black hole (BH) mergers have begun to sample the cosmic BH mass distribution. The evolution of single stellar cores predicts a gap in the BH mass distribution due to pair-instability supernovae (PISNe). Determining the upper and lower edges of the BH mass gap can be useful for interpreting GW detections of merging BHs. We use
MESA to evolve single, nonrotating, massive helium cores with a metallicity ofZ = 10−5, until they either collapse to form a BH or explode as a PISN, without leaving a compact remnant. We calculate the boundaries of the lower BH mass gap for S-factors in the range S(300 keV) = (77,203) keV b, corresponding to the ±3σ uncertainty in our high-resolution tabulated12C(α ,γ )16O reaction rate probability distribution function. We extensively test temporal and spatial resolutions for resolving the theoretical peak of the BH mass spectrum across the BH mass gap. We explore the convergence with respect to convective mixing and nuclear burning, finding that significant time resolution is needed to achieve convergence. We also test adopting a minimum diffusion coefficient to help lower-resolution models reach convergence. We establish a new lower edge of the upper mass gap asM lower≃M ⊙from the ±3σ uncertainty in the12C(α ,γ )16O rate. We explore the effect of a larger 3α rate on the lower edge of the upper mass gap, findingM lower≃M ⊙. We compare our results with BHs reported in the Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog. -
Abstract While it is well known that cosmic rays (CRs) can gain energy from turbulence via second-order Fermi acceleration, how this energy transfer affects the turbulent cascade remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that damping and steepening of the compressive turbulent power spectrum are expected once the damping time
becomes comparable to the turbulent cascade time. Magnetohydrodynamic simulations of stirred compressive turbulence in a gas-CR fluid with diffusive CR transport show clear imprints of CR-induced damping, saturating at , where is the turbulent energy input rate. In that case, almost all of the energy in large-scale motions is absorbed by CRs and does not cascade down to grid scale. Through a Hodge–Helmholtz decomposition, we confirm that purely compressive forcing can generate significant solenoidal motions, and we find preferential CR damping of the compressive component in simulations with diffusion and streaming, rendering small-scale turbulence largely solenoidal, with implications for thermal instability and proposed resonant scattering ofE ≳ 300 GeV CRs by fast modes. When CR transport is streaming dominated, CRs also damp large-scale motions, with kinetic energy reduced by up to 1 order of magnitude in realisticE CR∼E gscenarios, but turbulence (with a reduced amplitude) still cascades down to small scales with the same power spectrum. Such large-scale damping implies that turbulent velocities obtained from the observed velocity dispersion may significantly underestimate turbulent forcing rates, i.e., . -
Abstract The genericity of Arnold diffusion in the analytic category is an open problem. In this paper, we study this problem in the following
a priori unstable Hamiltonian system with a time-periodic perturbation where , withn ,d ⩾ 1,V i are Morse potentials, andɛ is a small non-zero parameter. The unperturbed Hamiltonian is not necessarily convex, and the induced inner dynamics does not need to satisfy a twist condition. Using geometric methods we prove that Arnold diffusion occurs for generic analytic perturbationsH 1. Indeed, the set of admissibleH 1isC ω dense andC 3open (a fortiori ,C ω open). Our perturbative technique for the genericity is valid in theC k topology for allk ∈ [3, ∞) ∪ {∞,ω }. -
Abstract We combine our dynamical modeling black-hole mass measurements from the Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2016 sample with measured cross-correlation time lags and line widths to recover individual scale factors,
f , used in traditional reverberation-mapping analyses. We extend our sample by including prior results from Code for AGN Reverberation and Modeling of Emission Lines (caramel ) studies that have utilized our methods. Aiming to improve the precision of black-hole mass estimates, as well as uncover any regularities in the behavior of the broad-line region (BLR), we search for correlations betweenf and other AGN/BLR parameters. We find (i) evidence for a correlation between the virial coefficient and black-hole mass, (ii) marginal evidence for a similar correlation between and black-hole mass, (iii) marginal evidence for an anticorrelation of BLR disk thickness with and , and (iv) marginal evidence for an anticorrelation of inclination angle with , , and . Last, we find marginal evidence for a correlation between line-profile shape, when using the root-mean-square spectrum, , and the virial coefficient, , and investigate how BLR properties might be related to line-profile shape usingcaramel models.
