Microstructure Changes Observed in the Near-Surface Region of SRF Nb Cavities Cutouts upon Cooling/Heating Cycles Using GI-Synchrotron XRD

We have mapped microstructural changes in the near-surface region of Nb from SRF cavity-cutouts upon thermal cycles in the range from 300 to 30 K using grazing incidence synchrotron X-Ray diffraction (GIXRD). Segregation of secondary phases was observed after the thermal cycle, and their nature has been clarified and discussed in view of previous studies on hydrides formation in SRF bulk Nb cavities. The temperature dependence of the relative population of these formed phases was obtained from GIXRD patterns profile fitting. Both, Nb bulk matrix and the new phases formed after cool-down show specific structural features as thermal contraction/expansion, structural transitions, and Nb lattice variation due to the induced strain by precipitates formation. The information derived from this structural study can explain some phenomena as the dissipation at high accelerating field (i.e. High Field Q Slope, HFQS) in the Nb SRF performance as well as new mechanisms never addressed in previous studies.

Gaseous Iodine Sorbents: A Comparison between Ag-Loaded Aerogel and Xerogel Scaffolds

The general properties of aluminosilicate aerogels and xerogels with silver nanoparticles as sorbents for capturing iodine gas [I2(g)] were investigated. The structures, morphologies, compositions, and pore structures of aerogel and xerogel were compared using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, as well as specific surface area (SSA) and pore size analyses. The as-made aerogels, xerogels, and heat-treated aerogels were impregnated with Ag by aqueous ion exchange using AgNO3 solutions, and PXRD patterns showed the presence of nanocrystalline Ag0 after Ag-impregnation. Iodine loadings of aerogels and xerogels were 0.33–0.41 g g-1. The Ag-impregnated aerogels without heat-treatment showed an 8 mass% higher iodine loading than Ag-impregnated xerogels and 3 mass% higher than heat-treated Ag-impregnated aerogels. All gels after iodine uptake showed the presence of AgI, indicating chemisorption of iodine to silver. The SSA values of the as-made gels were 419–598 m2 g-1 but decreased significantly to 34–120 m2 g-1 after Ag-impregnation and iodine uptake processes. Overall, changes in physical and chemical properties of aerogels and xerogels after iodine uptake were similar, and the difference in iodine loading capacities of the aerogels and xerogels was not significant while the synthesis process of xerogel is more practical because it does not require supercritical drying.

High-temperature stability and thermal expansion behavior of equi-atomic refractory multi-principal element alloys based on MoNbTi system for Gen IV reactor applications

The present study investigates the thermal stability and thermal expansion behavior of seven equi-atomic refractory multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) based on the MoNbTi ternary system composed of low neutron absorption cross section elements. Through an integrated approach utilizing in-situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction (HT-XRD) in conjunction with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dilatometry and ageing heat treatment, the thermal stability of the MPEAs was comprehensively analyzed. In-situ HT-XRD experiment confirmed the stability of the room temperature phases up to 1000 °C with no peaks observed corresponding to additional phases in the HT-XRD patterns at 500, 800 and 1100 °C. DSC thermograms showed the absence of peaks up to 1000 °C, while peaks and valleys corresponding to exothermic and endothermic events were observed above 1000 °C. Coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) derived from second order polynomial fitting of linear thermal expansion data from the dilatometry experiment showed linear increment up to 1000 °C for all the alloys except those containing Zr. The Cr containing alloys exhibited notably higher CTE values, particularly the Al containing alloy exhibited the highest value. Ageing heat treatment at 800 and 1000 °C for 96 h and subsequent microstructural analysis revealed significant precipitation of secondary phases in MoNbTiZr, MoNbTiZrV and MoNbTiCrAl. In conclusion, a substantial increase in hardness was observed in MoNbTiZr and MoNbTiCrAl due to secondary phase precipitation, while the other alloys maintained hardness values comparable to their as-cast and homogenized states.

Effects of Aluminum Plate Initial Residual Stress on Machined-Part Distortion

Dimensional tolerances for high-speed-machined aluminum products continue to tighten due to the demand for automated assembly of complex monolithic parts in aerospace and other industries. Understanding the contribution of inherent residual stress in wrought Al 7050-T7451 plate, common in aircraft manufacture, to distortion of high-aspect-ratio machined parts is critical but remains problematic due to the alloy's low residual stress magnitude over large geometries. Prior investigations into residual stress effects on machined part distortion suffer inadequate characterizations of the wrought material stress field, either because of low fidelity due to “slitting” methods, confounding effects in machined-layer removal methods, or small sample size when using neutron diffraction (ND). In this work, inherent residual stress is measured via ND at 860 locations in a 90.5 mm thick Al 7050-T7451 plate having dimensions 399 mm in the rolling direction and 335 mm in the transverse direction. Unlike prior studies, the ND residual stress is reconstructed using an iterative algorithm to ensure fully compatible, equilibrated 3D field prior to examining its effect on distortion. Further, the findings from simulations and experiments show that inherent residual stress alone could distort a high-aspect-ratio part beyond aerospace industry requirements, that slitting measurements may not sufficiently characterize residual stress for predicted distortion, and that parts machined from different plate thickness locations could exhibit reversed distortion patterns. Thus, research into distortion prediction that considers machining should carefully characterize and reconstruct inherent residual stress so that the coupled machining effects are accurately modeled.

Ultrafast electron diffraction of photoexcited gas-phase cyclobutanone predicted by ab initio multiple cloning simulations

We present the result of our calculations of ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) for cyclobutanone excited into the S2 electronic state, which is based on the non-adiabatic dynamics simulations with the Ab Initio Multiple Cloning (AIMC) method with the electronic structure calculated at the SA(3)-CASSCF(12,12)/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. The key features in the UED pattern were identified, which can be used to distinguish between the reaction pathways observed in the AIMC dynamics, although there is a significant overlap between representative signals due to the structural similarity of the products. The calculated UED pattern can be compared with the experiment.

Supramolecular Support of Cuprophilic Network Bonding in 2-D Copper n -Alkanethiolates

Here, the development of heterogeneous materials, catalysts, and semiconductors is often reliant on precise control of self-assembly and crystal packing. Many new materials are initially synthesized as microcrystalline powders, making them incompatible with typical methods of structure determination, such as single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This resultant lack of structural information has made thorough investigation into the effect of metal substitution on crystal structure in metal-organic chalcogenolates (MOChas) challenging. Here, we use small molecule serial femtosecond crystallography (smSFX) to present the structures of four copper n-alkanethiolates: CuSC4, CuSC5, CuSC6, and CuSC7. Divergent patterns of alkyl chain packing are identified from microcrystalline powders via smSFX. An odd-even effect in crystal packing has been identified and attributed to different orientations of symmetry elements in the even- and odd-numbered chains. This results in minute changes in the azimuthal organization of the even-numbered chains and the network of cuprophilic interactions. Additionally, we present a synthesis of crystalline gold n-alkanethiolates to provide the first comparison between three d 10 coinage metals (Cu, Ag, and Au) and their resultant n-alkanethiolates.

ASb 3 Mn 9 O 19 (A = K or Rb): New Mn-Based 2D Magnetoplumbites with Geometric and Magnetic Frustration

Magnetoplumbites are one of the most broadly studied families of hexagonal ferrites, typically with high magnetic ordering temperatures, making them excellent candidates for permanent magnets. However, magnetic frustration is rarely observed in magnetoplumbites. Herein, the discovery, synthesis, and characterization of the first Mn-based magnetoplumbite, as well as the first magnetoplumbite involving pnictogens (Sb), ASb 3 Mn 9 O 19 (A = K or Rb) are reported. The Mn 3+ ( S = 2) cations, further confirmed by DC magnetic susceptibility and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, construct three geometrically frustrated sublattices, including Kagome, triangular, and puckered honeycomb lattices. Magnetic properties measurements revealed strong antiferromagnetic spin–spin coupling as well as multiple low-temperature magnetic features. Heat capacity data does not show any prominent λ-anomaly, suggesting minimal associated magnetic entropy. Moreover, neutron powder diffraction (NPD) implied the absence of long-range magnetic ordering in KSb 3 Mn 9 O 19 down to 3 K. However, several magnetic peaks are observed in RbSb 3 Mn 9 O 19 at 3 K, corresponding to an incommensurate magnetic structure. Interestingly, strong diffuse scattering is seen in the NPD patterns of both compounds at low angles and is analyzed by reverse Monte Carlo refinements, indicating short-range spin ordering related to frustrated magnetism as well as 2D magnetic correlations in ASb 3 Mn 9 O 19 (A = K or Rb).

Emergence of complex-regular eutectic patterns in Al–Ge: Observations from correlative nano-imaging

Eutectic solidification exemplifies nonequilibrium pattern formation, making it a well-studied moving boundary problem. Yet the mechanisms behind the formation of complex-regular microstructures – particularly in highly anisotropic systems with a significant volume fraction of a faceted phase – remain poorly understood. Our understanding of such systems is made complicated by the nonlinear interface kinetics and unique growth dynamics characteristic of faceted phases. To address these challenges, we investigate a model Al–Ge eutectic system, where the faceted Ge phase constitutes a substantial volume fraction (~0.35) and where the two solid phases arrange into so-called “fishbone” or “feather” complex-regular patterns. Using synchrotron-based x-ray nano-imaging and nanotomography with high spatial resolution (22 nm per pixel), we capture in real-time the evolution of the solid–liquid interfaces and the resulting three-dimensional microstructures in this faceted/non-faceted eutectic system. By integrating these observations with electron backscattered diffraction, we elucidate the crystallographic biases on the solidification process and the mechanisms driving the formation of such complex-regular microstructures. These findings inform a new growth model for irregular eutectics in (near-)symmetrical phase diagrams, offering insight on advanced microstructural design and processing strategies. More broadly, we demonstrate how interfacial curvature is generated in irregular eutectic alloys and how it depends on the volume fraction of the faceted phase.

Subterahertz collective dynamics of polar vortices

The collective dynamics of topological structures are of interest from both fundamental and applied perspectives. For example, studies of dynamical properties of magnetic vortices and skyrmions have not only deepened our understanding of many-body physics but also offered potential applications in data processing and storage. Topological structures constructed from electrical polarization, rather than electron spin, have recently been realized in ferroelectric superlattices, and these are promising for ultrafast electric-field control of topological orders. However, little is known about the dynamics underlying the functionality of such complex extended nanostructures. In this study, using terahertz-field excitation and femtosecond X-ray diffraction measurements, we observe ultrafast collective polarization dynamics that are unique to polar vortices, with orders-of-magnitude higher frequencies and smaller lateral size than those of experimentally realized magnetic vortices. A previously unseen tunable mode, hereafter referred to as a vortexon, emerges in the form of transient arrays of nanoscale circular patterns of atomic displacements, which reverse their vorticity on picosecond timescales. Its frequency is considerably reduced (softened) at a critical strain, indicating a condensation (freezing) of structural dynamics. We use first-principles-based atomistic calculations and phase-field modelling to reveal the microscopic atomic arrangements and corroborate the frequencies of the vortex modes. The discovery of subterahertz collective dynamics in polar vortices opens opportunities for electric-field-driven data processing in topological structures with ultrahigh speed and density.

In-Plane Liftout and Push-to-Pull for In Situ Mechanical Testing of Irradiated Inconel X-750

A streamlined sample preparation method for nanomechanical testing is needed to improve the quality of specimens, reduce the cost, and increase the versatility of specimen fabrication. This work outlines an in-plane liftout focused ion beam (FIB) fabrication procedure to prepare electron-transparent specimens for in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) nanomechanical testing. Ion etching and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) techniques were used to lift out a [110] oriented grain from a neutron-irradiated bulk X-750 alloy. Careful control of voltages and currents ensured precision. Top surface thinning sweeps prevented resurfacing and redeposition while dog-bone geometries were shaped with a 1:4 gauge width-to-milling pattern diameter ratio. Nanotensile testing in the TEM with a picoindenter allowed for the estimation of an ultimate tensile strength of 2.41 GPa, and inspection revealed a high density of bubbles in the X-750 matrix. The proposed fabrication procedure is significant for preparing samples from radioactive materials, studying complex structures that are orientation-dependent, and analyzing desired planar areas.

Optically Induced Picosecond Lattice Compression in the Dielectric Component of a Strongly Coupled Ferroelectric/Dielectric Superlattice

Above-bandgap femtosecond optical excitation of a ferroelectric/dielectric BaTiO 3 /CaTiO 3 superlattice leads to structural responses that are a consequence of the screening of the strong electrostatic coupling between the component layers. Time-resolved X-ray free-electron laser diffraction shows that the structural response to optical excitation includes a net lattice expansion of the superlattice consistent with depolarization-field screening driven by the photoexcited charge carriers. The depolarization-field-screening-driven expansion is separate from a photoacoustic pulse launched from the bottom electrode on which the superlattice is epitaxially grown. The distribution of diffracted intensity of superlattice X-ray reflections indicates that the depolarization-field-screening-induced strain includes a photoinduced expansion in the ferroelectric BaTiO 3 and a contraction in CaTiO 3 . The magnitude of expansion in BaTiO 3 layers is larger than the contraction in CaTiO 3 . The difference in the magnitude of depolarization-field-screening-driven strain in the BaTiO 3 and CaTiO 3 components can arise from the contribution of the oxygen octahedral rotation patterns at the BaTiO 3 /CaTiO 3 interfaces to the polarization of CaTiO 3 . The depolarization-field-screening-driven polarization reduction in the CaTiO 3 layers points to a new direction for the manipulation of polarization in the component layers of a strongly coupled ferroelectric/dielectric superlattice.

Structural Changes in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 Thin Films Modified with He + -Focused Ion Beam for High-Temperature Superconductive Nanoelectronics

Irradiation of high-temperature superconductor YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 (YBCO) with high-energy He + ions is known to cause structural changes in the YBCO film, decreasing the critical temperature T C and finally leading to a superconductor-to-insulator transition. Here, this allows one to pattern narrow insulating regions with a focused ion beam (FIB) and thus fabricate nanoscale Josephson junctions on YBCO films. Moreover, such ion irradiation is known to cause structural changes in the YBCO film. However, details of how these structural changes occur in nanoscale devices produced by FIB remain unknown. Using nanofocus X-ray diffraction, we study the changes in the YBCO crystal lattice and investigate how the nature of these changes depends on the size of the irradiated regions. These data provide an important understanding of how oxide superconductors can be tailored at the nanometer scale for various applications.

Synthesis of magnesiowüstite nanocrystallites embedded in an amorphous silicate matrix via low energy multiple ion implantations

The synthesis process is presented for experimentally simulating modifications in cosmic dust grains using sequential ion implantations or irradiations followed by thermal annealing. Cosmic silicate dust analogues were prepared via implantation of 20–80 keV Fe - , Mg - , and O - ions into commercially available p-type silicon (100)wafers. The as-implanted analogues are amorphous with a Mg/(Fe+Mg) ratio of 0.5 tailored to match theoretical abundances in circumstellar dusts. Before the ion implantations were performed, Monte-Carlo-based ion-solid interaction codes were used to model the dynamic redistribution of the implanted atoms in the silicon substrate. 600 keV helium ion irradiation was performed on one of the samples before thermal annealing. Two samples were thermally annealed at a temperature appropriate for an M-class stellar wind, 1000 K, for 8.3 h in a vacuum chamber with a pressure of 1 x 10 -7 torr. The elemental depth profiles were extracted utilizing Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) in the samples before and after thermal annealing. X-ray diffraction (XRD)analysis was employed for the identification of various phases in crystalline minerals in the annealed analogues. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis was utilized to identify specific crystal structures. RBS analysis shows redistribution of the implanted Fe, Mg, and O after thermal annealing due to incorporation into the crystal structures for each sample type. XRD patterns along with TEM analysis showed nanocrystalline Mg and Fe oxides with possible incorporation of additional silicate minerals.

Spatially correlated incommensurate lattice modulations in an atomically thin high-temperature Bi 2.1 Sr 1.9 CaCu 2.0 O 8+y superconductor

Strong variations in superconducting critical temperatures in different families of the cuprate perovskites, even with similar hole doping in their copper-oxygen planes, suggest the importance of lattice modulation effects. The one-dimensional incommensurate lattice modulation (ILM) of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+y , with the average atomic positions perturbed beyond the unit cell6, offer s an ideal test ground for studying the interplay between superconductivity and the long-range incommensurate lattice fluctuations. Here we report Scanning nano X-ray Diffraction (SnXRD) imaging of incommensurate lattice modulations in Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+y Van der Waals heterostructures of thicknesses down to two-unit cells. Using SnXRD, we probe that the long-range and short-range incommensurate lattice modulations in bulk sample surface with spatial resolution below 100 nm. We find that puddle-like domains of ILM of size uniformly evolving with dimensionality. In the 2-unit cell thin sample, it is observed that the wavevectors of the long- and short-range orders become anticorrelated with emerging spatial patterns having a directional gradient. The emerging patterns, originated by tiny tuning of lattice strain, induce static mesoscopic charge density waves. Finally, our findings thus demonstrate that the strain can be used to tune and control the electromagnetic properties of two-dimensional high-temperature superconductors.

The Surface Chemistry of Methanol on Cu 3 Pd(111): Effects of Metal Alloying and Reaction with Hydrogen

Synchrotron-based ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) was used to study the adsorption and surface chemistry of methanol on a Cu 3 Pd(111) model surface. The composition and morphological properties of the pristine Cu 3 Pd(111) substrate were analyzed using a combination of low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and low-energy ion scattering (LEIS). The results of ion scattering showed segregation of Pd toward the surface, with a Pd/Cu ratio close to 0.5, a larger value than the ratio of 0.33 expected for a Cu 3 Pd bimetallic structure. The surface of the alloy exhibited a good LEED pattern with three-fold long-range periodicities. In STM, clusters of palladium with hexagonal arrays and Pd- Pd distances of 2.7-2.8 Å were detected. Bonding to copper perturbed the electronic properties of the atoms in the Pd clusters, shifting their 4d states toward higher binding energy with respect to the Fermi level. Further, the valence band spectrum of Cu 3 Pd(111) exhibited a line shape that was very different from those displayed by Cu(111) or Pd(111). At low pressures, the adsorption of methanol on Cu 3 Pd(111) at 300 K mainly produced CH 3 O, CO and CH x species. AP-XPS showed that most Pd atoms in the surface of the Cu 3 Pd(111) alloy interacted with the decomposition products of methanol. No significant changes were observed in the core levels of copper upon the adsorption and dissociation of methanol, suggesting that the molecule mainly interacted with Pd sites of the alloy. Reaction with hydrogen led to fast removal of CH x , C and PdC x species from Cu 3 Pd(111) at moderate (< 450 K) temperatures and prevented a CH x → C transformation. If the stability of adsorbed CH 3 O is used as a descriptor for the hydrogenation of CO 2 to methanol, Cu 3 Pd should be a much better catalyst than monometallic palladium. This may be a consequence of electronic and ensemble effects in the alloy that moderate the reactivity of Pd sites.

GaAs Thermophotovoltaic Patterned Dielectric Back Contact Devices with Improved Sub-Bandgap Reflectance

We demonstrate GaAs thermophotovoltaic (TPV) devices with a patterned dielectric back contact (PDBC) architecture, featuring a dielectric spacer between the semiconductor and back metal contact over most of the back surface for high reflectance, and metal point contacts over a smaller area for electrical conduction. In the TPV application, high sub-bandgap reflectance is needed to reflect unused sub-bandgap photons to the thermal emitter to minimize energy losses in this portion of the thermal spectrum. We explore different PDBC fabrication processes with SU-8 and SiO2 dielectric spacer layers to maximize sub-bandgap reflectance while minimizing series resistance to increase TPV conversion efficiency. We successfully demonstrate GaAs SU-8 PDBC TPV devices with 2200 degrees C blackbody-weighted sub-bandgap reflectance of 94.9% and 96.5% with and without a front metal grid, respectively. This is 0.7% and 2.3% (absolute) higher than the mean sub-bandgap reflectance of 94.2% for GaAs baseline TPV devices with 100% Au back contact with front metal grid. Lower sub-bandgap reflectance in TPV devices with front grids indicates the front grid induces light scattering leading to additional parasitic absorption in the TPV device. We also show that for higher contact coverage fractions, the PDBC reflectance cannot in general be treated by a linear interpolation using simple 1D transfer matrix method modeling and should be treated instead as a diffraction grating by solving Maxwell's equations in 3D.

The exit-wave power-cepstrum transform for scanning nanobeam electron diffraction: robust strain mapping at subnanometer resolution and subpicometer precision

Scanning nanobeam electron diffraction (NBED) with fast pixelated detectors is a valuable technique for rapid, spatially resolved mapping of lattice structure over a wide range of length scales. However, intensity variations caused by dynamical diffraction and sample mistilts can hinder the measurement of diffracted disk centers as necessary for quantification. Robust data processing techniques are needed to provide accurate and precise measurements for complex samples and non-ideal conditions. Here we present an approach to address these challenges using a transform, called the exit wave power cepstrum (EWPC), inspired by cepstral analysis in audio signal processing. The EWPC transforms NBED patterns into real-space patterns with sharp peaks corresponding to inter-atomic spacings. We describe a simple analytical model for interpretation of these patterns that cleanly decouples lattice information from the intensity variations in NBED patterns caused by tilt and thickness. With tracking the inter-atomic spacing peaks in EWPC patterns, strain mapping is demonstrated for two practical applications: mapping of ferroelectric domains in epitaxially strained PbTiO 3 films and mapping of strain profiles in arbitrarily oriented core-shell Pt-Co nanoparticle fuel-cell catalysts. The EWPC transform enables lattice structure measurement at sub-pm precision and sub-nm resolution that is robust to small sample mistilts and random orientations.
