Electronic Tuning in URu2Si2 Through Ru to Pt Chemical Substitution

Studies that control the unit cell volume and electronic composition have been useful in revealing what factors lead to hidden order and superconductivity in the strongly correlated electron system URu 2 Si 2 . For example, isoelectronic tuning that increases the hybridization between the f and conduction electron states (i.e., applied pressure and Ru → Fe/Os chemical substitution) 1) converts hidden order into antiferromagnetism and 2) destroys the superconductivity. The impact of nonisoelectronic chemical substitution has been less clear, but several unifying trends have recently emerged for chemical substitution vectors that qualitatively add electrons (e.g., Ru → Rh/Ir and Si → P). This includes 1) the rapid destruction of hidden order and superconductivity, 2) composition regions where the underlying Kondo lattice is preserved but does not harbor an ordered state, and 3) the emergence of complex magnetism at large substitutions. In order to assess the limits of this perspective, we have investigated the series U(Ru 1− x Pt x ) 2 Si 2 for x ≲ 0.19, where the Ru and Pt d -shells differ substantially from each other. Magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity, and heat capacity measurements unexpectedly reveal a phase diagram with notable similarities to those of other electron doping series. This result reinforces the viewpoint that there is a quasi-universal affect that results from electron doping in this material, and we anticipate that an understanding of these trends will be useful to isolate what factors are foundational for hidden order and superconductivity.

Synthesis and Physical Properties of NbMnP Single Crystals

Single crystalline NbMnP was grown by the high-temperature solution growth technique and characterized by room temperature X-ray diffraction, temperature- and field-dependent magnetization, temperature-dependent resistivity, and heat capacity measurements. NbMnP is isostructural to TiNiSi with the space group of Pnma. Physical characterizations suggest that NbMnP is metallic and goes through an anti-ferromagnet transition at around 230 K with a weak magnetic anisotropy. A small ferromagnetic component is found to be perpendicular to [010].

Boundary-Layer-Transition Measurements in Full-Scale Flight

Chemical sublimation has been employed for boundary-layer-flow visualization on the wings of a supersonic fighter airplane in level flight at speeds near a Mach number of 2.0. The tests have shown that laminar flow can be obtained over extensive areas of the wing with practical wing-surface conditions. In addition to the flow visualization tests, a method of continuously monitoring the conditions of the boundary layer has been applied to flight testing, using heated temperature resistance gages installed in a Fiberglas "glove" installation on one wing. Tests were conducted at speeds from a Mach number of 1.2 to a Mach number of 2.0, at altitudes from 35,000 feet to 56,000 feet. Data obtained at all angles of attack, from near 0 deg to near 10 deg, have shown that the maximum transition Reynolds number on the upper surface of the wing varies from about 2.5 x 10(exp 6) at a Mach number of 1.2 to about 4 x 10(exp 6) at a Mach number of 2.0. On the lower surface, the maximum transition Reynolds number varies from about 2 x 10(exp 6) at a Mach number of 1.2 to about 8 x 10(exp 6) at a Mach number of 2.0.

Feasibility study for the development of low temperature curing adhesives

The feasibility of a new approach for the development of stable, easily handled, room temperature (293 K - 311 K) curing adhesives was studied and demonstrated. The work concentrated on a family of unsaturated amide/ester resins. Twelve candidate resins were synthesized and tested for completeness of cure at room temperature, adhesion to aluminum and titanium, shear strength, moisture resistance and heat stability. The three most promising candidate resins were selected and recommended for further development.

Transparent materials processing system

A zero gravity processing furnace system was designed that will allow acquisition of photographic or other visual information while the sample is being processed. A low temperature (30 to 400 C) test model with a flat specimen heated by quartz-halide lamps was constructed. A high temperature (400 to 1000 C) test model heated by resistance heaters, utilizing a cylindrical specimen and optics, was also built. Each of the test models is discussed in detail. Recommendations are given.

Low density bismaleimide-carbon microballoon composites

A process is described for constructing for a composite laminate structure which exhibits a high resistance to heat and flame provides safer interior structures for aircraft and submarine compartments. Composite laminate structures are prepared by the bismaleimide resin preimpregnation of a fiberglass cloth to form a face sheet which is bonded with a bismaleimide hot melt adhesive to a porous core structure selected from the group consisting of polyamide paper and bismaleimide-glass fabric which is filled with carbon microballoons. The carbon microballoons are prepared by pyrolyzing phenolic micro-balloons in the presence of nitrogen. A slurry of the carbon microballoons is prepared to fill the porous core structure. The porous core structure and face sheet are bonded to provide panel structures exhibiting increased mechanical capacities and lower oxygen limit values and smoke density values.

Design package for instrumentation of the Decade 80 house in Tucson, Arizona

A design package covering instrumentation and system design for the Decade 80 House in Tucson, Arizona is presented. The solar house is instrumented for the purpose of gathering data to determine the solar heating and cooling system performance. The use of copper in the construction of the house is a first choice construction material because it conducts heat and resists corrosion better than other materials and therefore provides a more efficient and economical system. Equipment and site specifications are reported, along with floor plans showing the location of the site instrumentation hardware.

Improved Fire-Resistant Resins for Laminates

Fire-resistant resins for fabricating laminates with inorganic fibers, especially graphite fibers, are formed from bisimides containing main-chain phosphorus and olefinic end groups. Bisimides are thermally polymerized to form resins and laminates virtually imcombustible in pure oxygen at 300 degrees C. New resins are suitable for many applications requiring good adhesion and excellent resistance to heat, fire, solvents and chemicals.
