However, the corresponding standard data analysis at non-zero wave numbers has been criticized as to be inconclusive because the scattering intensity is polluted by the unavoidable scattering from the bulk. Here we overcome this ambiguity by proposing a physically consistent model of the bulk contribution which is based on a minimal set of assumptions of experimental relevance. To this end, we derive an explicit integral expression for the background scattering, which can be determined numerically from the static structure factors of the coexisting bulk phases as independent input. Concerning the interpretation of GIXRD data inferred from computer simulations, we account also for the finite sizes of the bulk phases, which are unavoidable in simulations. The corresponding leading-order correction beyond the dominant contribution to the scattered intensity is revealed by asymptotic analysis, which is characterized by the competition between the linear system size and the X-ray penetration depth in the case of simulations. Specifically, we have calculated the expected GIXRD intensity for scattering at the planar liquid--vapor interface of Lennard-Jones fluids with truncated pair interactions via extensive, high-precision simulations. The reported data cover interfacial and bulk properties of fluid states along the whole liquid--vapor coexistence line. A sensitivity analysis demonstrates the robustness of our findings concerning the detailed definition of the mean interface position. We conclude that previous claims of an enhanced surface tension at mesoscopic scales are amenable to unambiguous tests via scattering experiments.

However, due to the potential presence of several structurally similar polymorphs, the unequivocal identification of their ground state crystal structures required the application of more elaborate neutron diffraction experiments. One particular complication arose from the later identified Cu–Zn disorder, present in virtually all thin film samples. Subsequently, it has been shown experimentally that this unavoidable Cu–Zn disorder leads to a band gap lowering in the respective samples. Additional theoretical investigations, mostly based on Monte-Carlo methods, tried to understand the atomistic origin of this disorder induced band gap lowering. Here, we present theoretical results from first-principles calculations based on density functional theory for the disorder induced band gap lowering in kesterite Cu2ZnSnSe4 and Ag2ZnSnSe4, where the Cu–Zn and Ag–Zn disorder is modelled via a supercell approach and special quasirandom structures. Results of subsequent analyses of structural, electronic, and optical properties are discussed with respect to available experimental results, and will provide additional insight and knowledge towards the atomistic origin of the observed disorder induced band gap lowering in kesterite type materials.

We investigate the ability of a simultaneous fitting of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko’s non-gravitational forces, torques, and total water-outgassing rate, as observed by Rosetta, to constrain complex thermophysical models of cometary material. Methods. We extend the previous work of fitting geographically defined surface outgassing models to the Rosetta observations by testing the effects of a more detailed geomorphological mapping, the resolution of the shape-model used, self-heating by neighbouring facets on the shape-model, thermal inertia in the outgassing solution, and the variation in the momentum coupling between the gas and the nucleus. We also directly compare the non-gravitational acceleration curves available in the literature. Results. We correct an error in the calculation of pole-orientation in the previous paper. We find that, under the assumptions of the model, non-gravitational forces and torques are driven by water sublimation from the nucleus, thermal inertia and self-heating have only minor effects, spatially uniform activity cannot explain 67P’s non-gravitational dynamics, spatially uniform momentum transfer cannot explain 67P’s non-gravitational dynamics, and different terrain types have different instantaneous responses to insolation. Conclusions. Consolidated terrain facing south on 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko has a high outgassing flux, a steep response to insolation, and a large gas momentum transfer coefficient. Instead, that facing north behaves differently, producing little to no water outgassing, and with a lower momentum transfer efficiency. Dusty terrain also has a lower outgassing rate and momentum transfer efficiency, and either depletes its volatile component or is buried in fall-back as the comet approaches the Sun. Momentum transfer appears correlated with insolation, likely due to an increased enhancement in the gas temperature as the dust it flows through is heated.

We will present the results of an International Space Science Institute project to investigate the phenomenon through the effects of the outgassing activity on the orbit and spin-state of comet 67P/Churymov-Gerasimenko, e.g. its non-gravitational dynamics. This International Team gathered experts in orbital dynamics and trajectory reconstruction together with thermophysical modellers and comet observationalists, in order to compare the available extractions of 67P’s non-gravitational acceleration (NGA) from its trajectory. The team then fitted a combination of the NGA, the non-gravitational torque (NGT), and the total water-outgassing rate with a thermophysical activity model. The results of this model will be presented. In particular, it was found that: non-gravitational forces and torques are driven by water sublimation from the nucleus; thermal inertia and self-heating have only minor effects; spatially uniform activity cannot explain 67P's non-gravitational dynamics; spatially uniform momentum transfer cannot explain 67P's non-gravitational dynamics; and different terrain types have different instantaneous responses to insolation. The implications of these findings for the modelling of cometary material and the variety of surface types seen on 67P will be discussed.

In this context, we study the surface adsorption profiles of a symmetric binary liquid confined to a slit pore by means of molecular dynamics simulations; the latter naturally entails that mass and concentration are locally conserved. Near a bulk consolute point, where the liquid exhibits a demixing transition with the local concentration as the order parameter, we determine the order parameter profiles and characterise the relevant critical scaling behaviour, in the regime of strong surface attraction, for a range of pore widths and temperatures. The obtained order parameter profiles decay monotonically near the surfaces, also in the presence of a pronounced layering in the number density. Overall, our results agree qualitatively with recent theoretical predictions from a mesoscopic field-theoretical approach for the canonical ensemble.

One theory states that components of the first biotic molecules may not have formed on Earth. Rather, they may have initially formed in the interstellar medium (ISM) and been transported to Earth, as supported by recorded instances of organic molecules detected in space. The ISM, with its low temperatures and specific collision processes, allows for molecular stability and the formation of biotic precursors that would otherwise be unlikely in Earth's prebiotic conditions. Understanding how these molecules formed in the ISM may be the key to determining how life began. The goal of this research is to develop a new model for solving astrobiophysical problems by studying the formation mechanisms of biomolecules found in the ISM. Although such pathways have been studied individually, there has not yet been a comprehensive method to understand all the formation reactions that can occur in ISM. Several quantum chemical and numerical methods are available for finding transition states (TS) and energy barriers (E) of chemical reactions but are time-consuming and can hardly be applied to systems with more than a few atoms. Our main interest is to develop a a machine learning approach to approximate TS, and E, requiring as input only estimates of geometry and energies of reactants and products. Using a complete dataset 300 reaction features are computed, and an estimate of E is obtained by fitting a Kernel Ridge Regression (KRR) model with Laplacian kernel, and a fully connected Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to estimate reaction energy barriers.

Relatively few (∼250) molecules have been confirmed in the ISM, and detecting additional species is crucial for expanding our knowledge of astrochemical processes. We present a strategy for predicting possible prebiotic molecules in the ISM that combines machine learning and high-accuracy quantum chemistry calculations. Using a reaction dataset of over 153,000 possible combinations of known interstellar molecules, we applied a machine learning model to estimate reaction energy barriers and identify those with low or zero barriers that are most likely to occur in the ISM. From this screening process, 24 molecules were identified, five of which have already been observed in interstellar space. For the remaining 19 molecules, we conducted density functional theory (DFT) and coupled cluster theory calculations to determine the most stable conformers, spectroscopic parameters, and predict their detectability through spectroscopy. We present data to guide future observational searches for new interstellar species, contributing to the ongoing exploration of complex organic molecules in space and their potential role in prebiotic chemistry.

We used remote sensing measurements of thermal emission and a thermophysical model to determine the microphysical properties of the lunar regolith. We expand upon previous investigations by developing a microphysical thermal model, which more directly simulates regolith properties, such as grain size and volume filling factor. The modeled temperatures are matched with surface temperatures measured by the Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment on board the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The maria and highlands are investigated separately and characterized in the model by a difference in albedo and grain density. We find similar regolith temperatures for both terrains, which can be well described by similar volume filling factor profiles and mean grain sizes obtained from returned Apollo samples. We also investigate a significantly lower thermal conductivity for highlands, which formally also gives a very good solution, but in a parameter range that is well outside the Apollo data. We then study the latitudinal dependence of regolith properties up to ±80° latitude. When assuming constant regolith properties, we find that a variation of the solar incidence-dependent albedo can reduce the initially observed latitudinal gradient between model and Diviner measurements significantly. A better match between measurements and model can be achieved by a variation in intrinsic regolith properties with a decrease in bulk density with increasing latitude. We find that a variation in grain size alone cannot explain the Diviner measurements at higher latitudes. Y1 - 2024 U6 - https://doi.org/10.1029/2023JE008152 VL - 129 IS - 3 ER -
