Magnetoelastic Effects in Doubly Clamped Electroplated $\mathrm{Co_{77}Fe_{23}}$ Microbeam Resonators

Magnetostrictive $\mathrm{Co_{77}Fe_{23}}$ films are fully suspended to produce free-standing, clamped-clamped, microbeam resonators. A negative or positive shift in the resonant frequency is observed for magnetic fields applied parallel or perpendicular to the length of the beam, respectively, confirming the magnetoelastic nature of the shift. Notably, the resonance shifts linearly with higher-bias fields oriented perpendicular to the beam’s length. Domain imaging elucidates the distinction in the reversal processes along the easy and hard axes. Finally, these results suggest that through modification of the magnetic anisotropy, the frequency shift and angular dependence can be tuned, producing highly magnetic-field-sensitive resonators.

Manufacturability Advancement of Low-Temperature Titanium Electroplating Methods

Three tasks were proposed for this work. All three were completed. The tasks were as follows: Task 1: A larger plating system will be purchased for process scale-up. TiF 3 will be tested as the metal precursor in an effort to reduce water sensitivity of the process. Task 2: Ti on steel samples will be created at PNNL and shipped to Atlas Technologies. Atlas Technologies will diffusion bond the samples to aluminum and test the bond strength. The results will be reported to PNNL. Task 3: Investigation into DOE mission relevant Ti and Zr alloys and demonstration on larger scale work pieces.

Electroplated "cold patch" for critical parts

Cracks in metal parts are filled by electrodeposition in plating tank that conforms to part to be repaired. Principle is applicable to repair of cracks in components of chemical reactors and other critical structures.
