Deposition of metallic gallium on re-crystallized ceramic material during focused ion beam milling
We report a new kind of artifact observed in the preparation of a TEM sample of zirconia by FIB, which consists in the deposition of metallic gallium nano-dots on the TEM sample surface. High resolution TEM images showed a microstructure of fine equiaxed grains of ∼ 5 nm, with some of them possessing two particular characteristics: high contrast and well-defined fast Fourier transform. These grains could not be identified as any phase of zirconia but it was possible to identify them as gallium crystals in the zone axis [110]. Based on HRTEM simulations, the possible orientations between zirconia substrate and deposited gallium are discussed in terms of lattice mismatch and oxygen affinity. - Highlights: • We show a new type of artifact induced during preparation of TEM samples by FIB. • Deposition of Ga occurs due to its high affinity for oxygen. • Materials with small grain size (∼ 5 nm) could promote Ga deposition. • Small grain size permits the elastic accommodation of deposited Ga.
Synthesis of apatite phosphates containing Cs{sup +}, Sr{sup 2+} and RE{sup 3+} ions and chemical durability studies
Graphical abstract: New chemically durable hydroxy and fluoro apatite phosphate wasteforms CsLa{sub 0.8}Nd{sub 0.1}Sm{sub 0.1}Sr{sub 3}(PO{sub 4}){sub 3}OH and CsLa{sub 0.7}Nd{sub 0.1}Sm{sub 0.1}Eu{sub 0.1}Sr{sub 3}(PO{sub 4}){sub 3}F are fabricated. Display Omitted Highlights: ► Novel apatite phosphates CsLaSr{sub 3}P{sub 3}(PO{sub 4}){sub 3}OH and CsLaSr{sub 3}(PO{sub 4}){sub 3}F are reported. ► New hydroxyapatite wasteform CsLa{sub 0.8}Nd{sub 0.1}Sm{sub 0.1}Sr{sub 3}P{sub 3}O{sub 12}OH is fabricated. ► Fluoro analogue CsLa{sub 0.7}Nd{sub 0.1}Sm{sub 0.1}Eu{sub 0.1}Sr{sub 3}P{sub 3}O{sub 12}F incorporates ‘Eu{sup 3+}’. ► Negligible leachability of Cs and rare earth ions demonstrated. -- Abstract: Crystallization of Cs, Sr and selected rare earth ions in apatite phosphate structure was investigated. Compounds of the formula CsLaSr{sub 3}(PO{sub 4}){sub 3}OH (CSOH), CsLaSr{sub 3}(PO{sub 4}){sub 3}F (CSF) and the simulated waste forms of the compositions CsLa{sub 0.8}Nd{sub 0.1}Sm{sub 0.1}Sr{sub 3}(PO{sub 4}){sub 3}OH (CNSOH) and CsLa{sub 0.7}Nd{sub 0.1}Sm{sub 0.1}Eu{sub 0.1}Sr{sub 3}(PO{sub 4}){sub 3}F (CNSEF) were synthesized and characterized by powder XRD, TGA and SEM techniques. The leachability behaviour of the single phases was studied for a period of one month by MCC-5 test using powder specimen. The leachability of Cs and other rare earth ions was found to be negligible. The leach rates (LR{sub i}) of Sr and P were observed as follows: CSOH – LR{sub Sr} = 10{sup −3}–10{sup −4} g/m{sup 2}/d, LR{sub P} = 10{sup −4} g/m{sup 2}/d; CSF – LR{sub Sr} = 10{sup −3}–10{sup −5} g/m{sup 2}/d, LR{sub P} = 10{sup −4}–10{sup −5} g/m{sup 2}/d; CNSOH and CNSEF – LR{sub Sr} = 10{sup −3}–10{sup −4} g/m{sup 2}/d, LR{sub P} = 10{sup −4}–10{sup −5} g/m{sup 2}/d.

Effect of Re and Al additions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Nb-18Ti-12W alloy
Microstructure and mechanical properties at 25–1200 °C of new refractory alloys, Nb-18Ti-12W (NTW), Nb-18Ti-12W-5Re (NTW-R) and Nb-18Ti-12W-5Re-1Al (NTW-RA), all compositions are in atomic percent, are reported. The alloys are developed as an alternative to a denser, more expensive and difficult-to-process refractory alloy WC-3009. After production by arc melting and hot isostatic pressing at 1400 °C, 207 MPa for 3 h, the alloys have a BCC crystal structure with the average grain size of ~150–200 μm and contain low volume fraction of (Ti,N)-rich precipitates near grain boundaries. NTW shows excellent malleability at all studied temperatures. Its yield stress at 25 °C, 1000 °C and 1200 °C is 874 MPa, 353 MPa and 202 MPa, respectively. The NTW-R and NTW-RA alloys are stronger at all the studied temperatures; however, they lack in compression ductility at 25 °C. As a result, extensive deformation twinning and formation of intergranular voids precede the fracture of these two alloys at 25 °C.
Re-examining the premise of isobaric collisions and a novel method to measure the chiral magnetic effect
In these proceedings we show that the premise of the isobaric and collisions to search for the chiral magnetic effect (CME) may not hold as originally anticipated due to large uncertainties in the isobaric nuclear structures. We demonstrate this using Woods-Saxon densities and the proton and neutron densities calculated by the density functional theory. Furthermore, a novel method is proposed to gauge background and possible CME contributions in the same system, intrinsically better than the isobaric collisions of two different systems. We illustrate the method with Monte Carlo Glauber and AMPT (A Multi-Phase Transport) simulations.
