“…X-ray data were measured at beamline 13-ID-C (GeoSoilEnviroCARS) at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at the Argonne National Laboratory. 60 A thin-film cell, 61 containing a reacted orthoclase crystal (see Section 2.1) with its cleaved (001) surface exposed, was filled with ∼50 μL of the sample solution and closed with a 7.5 μm Kapton film, holding the crystal in place while maintaining a thin layer (several μm) of the solution on the crystal surface. To minimize any solution evaporation through the Kapton window, and therefore changes in [Y 3+ ] during the measurement, an additional Mylar dome filled with water-saturated He was placed on the sample cell.…”

Interactions of heavy metals with charged mineral surfaces control their mobility in the environment. Here, we investigate the adsorption of Y(III) onto the orthoclase (001) basal plane, the former as a representative of rare earth elements and an analogue of trivalent actinides and the latter as a representative of naturally abundant K-feldspar minerals. We apply in situ highresolution X-ray reflectivity to determine the sorption capacity and molecular distribution of adsorbed Y species as a function of the Y 3+ concentration, [Y 3+ ], at pH 7 and 5. With [Y 3+ ] ≥ 1 mM at pH 7, we observe an inner-sphere (IS) sorption complex at a distance of ∼1.5 Å from the surface and an outer-sphere (OS) complex at 3−4 Å. Based on the adsorption height of the IS complex, a bidentate, binuclear binding mode, in which Y 3+ binds to two terminal oxygens, is proposed. In contrast, mostly OS sorption is observed at pH 5. The observed maximum Y coverage is ∼1.3 Y 3+ /A UC (A UC : area of the unit cell = 111.4 Å 2 ) for all the investigated pH values and Y concentrations, which is in the expected range based on the estimated surface charge of orthoclase (001).

“…A preselected single crystal of γ-B of size 8 µm and a piece of Nd (commercially purchased from Fischer Scientific, 99.9% purity) of size 10 µm were placed next to each other in the center of the hole. Neon served as the pressure transmitting medium and was loaded at 13 IDD at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Lab (ANL) ( Rivers et al, 2008 ; Sutton et al, 2022 ). Alongside the sample, a 3 µm Au piece and a 10 µm ruby ball (DACTools, LLC) were placed near the sample and used as pressure markers.…”

In this study, we report the synthesis of a new cubic neodymium-rhenium metallic alloy NdRe2 through the utilization of high pressure and laser heating in a diamond anvil cell. NdRe2 crystallizes in the Fd3¯m space group with a lattice parameter equal to 7.486 (2) Å and Z = 8 at 24 (1) GPa and 2,200 (100) K. It was studied using high-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the cubic MgCu2 structure type. Its successful synthesis further proves that high-pressure high-temperature conditions can be used to obtain alloys holding a Laves phase structure. Ab initio calculations were done to predict the mechanical properties of the material. We also discuss the usage of extreme conditions to synthesize and study materials present in the nuclear waste.

Access to synchrotron X-ray facilities has become an important aspect for many disciplines in experimental Earth science. This is especially important for studies that rely on probing samples in situ under natural conditions different from the ones found at the surface of the Earth. The non-ambient condition Earth science program at the Advanced Light Source (ALS), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, offers a variety of tools utilizing the infra-red and hard X-ray spectrum that allow Earth scientists to probe Earth and environmental materials at variable conditions of pressure, stress, temperature, atmospheric composition, and humidity. These facilities are important tools for the user community in that they offer not only considerable capacity (non-ambient condition diffraction) but also complementary (IR spectroscopy, microtomography), and in some cases unique (Laue microdiffraction) instruments. The availability of the ALS’ in situ probes to the Earth science community grows especially critical during the ongoing dark time of the Advanced Photon Source in Chicago, which massively reduces available in situ synchrotron user time in North America.
