Cesium-Technetium Volatility in the DFLAW Flow-Sheet (VSL-21R4780-1 Rev. 0)

The tests were conducted on the DM10 vitrification system with prototypical off-gas treatment system, which includes an SBS and WESP. This allowed determination of the partitioning and speciation of cesium between the melter and the off-gas system components, including liquid effluents from the SBS and WESP. The tests were conducted using simulated Hanford LAW AP-107, which is the planned first feed to DFLAW, at a nominal feed concentration of 5.6 molar Na over about 200 hours of testing.

Femtosecond Laser-Induced Nano-Joining of Volatile Tellurium Nanotube Memristor

Nanowire/nanotube memristor devices provide great potential for random-access high-density resistance storage. However, fabricating high-quality and stable memristors is still challenging. This paper reports multileveled resistance states of tellurium (Te) nanotube based on the clean-room free femtosecond laser nano-joining method. The temperature for the entire fabrication process was maintained below 190 °C. A femtosecond laser joining technique was used to form nanowire memristor units with enhanced properties. Femtosecond (fs) laser-irradiated silver-tellurium nanotube-silver structures resulted in plasmonic-enhanced optical joining with minimal local thermal effects. This produced a junction between the Te nanotube and the silver film substrate with enhanced electrical contacts. Noticeable changes in memristor behavior were observed after fs laser irradiation. Capacitor-coupled multilevel memristor behavior was observed. Compared to previous metal oxide nanowire-based memristors, the reported Te nanotube memristor system displayed a nearly two-order stronger current response. The research displays that the multileveled resistance state is rewritable with a negative bias.

Size resolved particle volatility for 30, 60, and 90 nm particles collected at the EPCAPE Mount Soledad site from 04/23/2023 to 06/15/2023

VTDMA GF-PDF: Growth factor probability density functions from the Gysel inversion are located here, where probability is out of 200. The instrument measured three different diameters 30 nm, 60nm and 90nm each diameter was selected for an hour. During that hour three different temperatures where scanned (40°C, 80°C, 160°C) in between each temperature a bypass scan was taken at room temperature. Each scan took 10-minutes and scanned growth factors from 0.2-1.2. Calibrations of the instrument with NaCl were performed on 4/26/2023 from 11:20 to 14:20, on 5/16/2023 from 11:40 to 16:00, and on 5/30/2023 from 10:20 to 14:20. Calibrations with (NH4)2SO4 were performed on 5/8/2023 from 11:45 to 14:40, on 5/23/2023 from 11:20 to 3:00, and on 6/14/2023 from 13:00 to 16:00. Time is recorded in seconds since 1/1/1904.

Noble gas incorporation into silicate glasses: implications for planetary volatile storage

Incorporation of small molecules in silicate melts may provide an important mechanism for storing noble gases in the deep Earth, yet the means by which chemically inert noble gases enter and are retained in silica-based materials is not understood. High pressure, room temperature sound velocity measurements on silica and natural basalt glasses in different pressure-transmitting media reveal that neon enters the structure of silicate glasses and enhances their elastic strengths, whereas an ethanol-methanol mixture does not. Combined with literature data, we found the incorporation of small molecules into silica and basalt glasses is controlled by the void size distribution of the glass and size of the molecules. Pressure primarily reduces the size of noble gases, thereby increasing their solubilities in silicate melts and glasses.
