Durability of Polymers in the Space Environment

Spacecraft in low Earth orbit (LEO) are subjected to harsh environmental conditions, including radiation (cosmic rays, ultraviolet, x-ray, and charged particle radiation), micrometeoroids and orbital debris, temperature extremes, thermal cycling, and atomic oxygen (AO). These environmental exposures can result in erosion, embrittlement and optical property degradation, threatening spacecraft performance and durability. While all of these environmental exposures can cause degradation to spacecraft components, AO is a particularly serious structural, thermal, and optical threat, to exterior oxidizable spacecraft materials, such as polymers. To further our understanding of AO erosion and radiation embrittlement of spacecraft materials, NASA Glenn Research Center has developed and flown a series of experiments as part of the Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE) missions on the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS). In continuing these studies, three new Glenn experiments have accepted for flight on the new ISS MISSE-Flight Facility (MISSE-FF). The Polymers and Composites Experiment (PCE) is being flown as part of the MISSE-9 inaugural mission of MISSE-FF. The Polymers and Composites Experiment-2 (PCE-2) and Polymers and Composites-3 Experiment (PCE-3) are being flown as part of the MISSE-10 and MISSE-12 missions, respectively. This presentation provides an overview of the Glenn's three MISSE-FF flight experiments including the objectives and initial spaceflight results.

Stabilized Synthesis of 2D Verbeekite: Monoclinic PdSe 2 Crystals with High Mobility and In-Plane Optical and Electrical Anisotropy

PdSe 2 has a layered structure with an unusual, puckered Cairo pentagonal tiling. Its atomic bond configuration features planar 4-fold-coordinated Pd atoms and intralayer Se–Se bonds that enable polymorphic phases with distinct electronic and quantum properties, especially when atomically thin. PdSe 2 is conventionally orthorhombic, and direct synthesis of its metastable polymorphic phases is still a challenge. Here, we report an ambient-pressure chemical vapor deposition approach to synthesize metastable monoclinic PdSe 2 . Monoclinic PdSe 2 is shown to be synthesized selectively under Se-deficient conditions that induce Se vacancies. These defects are shown by first-principles density functional theory calculations to reduce the free energy of the metastable monoclinic phase, thereby stabilizing it during synthesis. Further, the structure and composition of the monoclinic PdSe 2 crystals are identified and characterized by scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging, convergent beam electron diffraction, and electron energy loss spectroscopy. Polarized Raman spectroscopy of the monoclinic PdSe 2 flakes reveals their strong in-plane optical anisotropy. Electrical transport measurements show that the monoclinic PdSe 2 exhibits n-type charge carrier conduction with electron mobilities up to ~298 cm 2 V –1 s –1 and a strong in-plane electron mobility anisotropy of ~1.9. The defect-mediated growth pathway identified in this work is promising for phase-selective direct synthesis of other 2D transition metal dichalcogenides.

Effect of Solar Exposure on the Atomic Oxygen Erosion of Hubble Space Telescope Aluminized-Teflon Thermal Shields

When exposed to low Earth orbital (LEO) environment, external spacecraft materials degrade due to radiation, thermal cycling, micrometeoroid and debris impacts, and atomic oxygen (AO) interaction. Collisions between AO and spacecraft can result in oxidation of external spacecraft surface materials, which can lead to erosion and severe structural and/or optical property deterioration. It is therefore essential to understand the AO erosion yield (Ey), the volume loss per incident oxygen atom (cu cm/atom), of polymers to assure durability of spacecraft materials. The objective of this study was to determine whether solar radiation exposure can increase the rate of AO erosion of polymers in LEO. The material studied was a section of aluminized-Teflon (DuPont) fluorinated ethylene propylene (Al-FEP) thermal shield exposed to space on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) for 8.25 years. Retrieved samples were sectioned from the circular thermal shield and exposed to ground laboratory thermal energy AO. The results indicate that the average Ey of the solar facing HST Al-FEP was 1.9 10(exp -24)cu cm/atom, while the average Ey of the anti-solar HST Al-FEP was 1.5 10(exp -24)cu cm/atom. The Ey of the pristine samples was 1.6- 1.7 10(exp -24)cu cm/atom. These results indicate that solar exposure affects the post-flight erosion rate of FEP in a plasma asher. Therefore, it likely affects the erosion rate while in LEO.

Atmospheric, Non-Combusting Droplet Sizing and Spray Imaging Results From a Non-Proprietary Aero Gas Turbine Engine Pressure Swirl Atomizer using Shadowgraphy and Planar Laser Scatter

Members from industry and federal agencies of the United States have developed a collaborating group focused on improving the understanding of the atomization processes common to gas turbine engines. The group is aimed on providing high quality data using x-ray diagnostics in the internal geometry and the near-field dense spray as well as optical diagnostics in the visible spectrum, downstream of the nozzle. This paper reports results from one of the two non-proprietary injectors designs from the group: the primary-secondary injector. In particular, we characterize the spray from only the primary, pressure-swirl atomizing circuit using water through the nozzle. We observed Sauter mean diameter decreased with increased water pressure drop across the nozzle. SMD was also collected at three axial distances and showed decreased size with distance from the nozzle. Planar laser sheet droplet scattering provided qualitative assessment of the spray. Higher water pressure drops provided better atomization than lower pressure drops. The addition of swirling air flow through the injector alleviates and improves the atomization quality, particularly at the lower water pressure drops.

Turbulent mixing layers in the interstellar medium of galaxies

We propose that turbulent mixing layers are common in the interstellar medium (ISM). Injection of kinetic energy into the ISM by supernovae and stellar winds, in combination with density and temperature inhomogeneities, results in shear flows. Such flows will become turbulent due to the high Reynolds number (low viscosity) of the ISM plasma. These turbulent boundary layers will be particularly interesting where the shear flow occurs at boundaries of hot (approximately 10(exp 6) K) and cold or warm (10(exp 2) - 10(exp 4) K) gas. Mixing will occur in such layers producing intermediate-temperature gas at T is approximately equal to 10(exp 5.0) - 10(exp 5.5) that radiates strongly in the optical, ultraviolet, and EUV. We have modeled these layers under the assumptions of rapid mixing down to the atomic level and steady flow. By including the effects of non-equilibrium ionization and self-photoionization of the gas as it cools after mixing, we predict the intensities of numerous optical, infrared, and ultraviolet emission lines, as well as absorption column densities of C 4, N 5, Si 4, and O 6.

Atomic Clock Based on Opto-Electronic Oscillator

A proposed highly accurate clock or oscillator would be based on the concept of an opto-electronic oscillator (OEO) stabilized to an atomic transition. Opto-electronic oscillators, which have been described in a number of prior NASA Tech Briefs articles, generate signals at frequencies in the gigahertz range characterized by high spectral purity but not by longterm stability or accuracy. On the other hand, the signals generated by previously developed atomic clocks are characterized by long-term stability and accuracy but not by spectral purity. The proposed atomic clock would provide high spectral purity plus long-term stability and accuracy a combination of characteristics needed to realize advanced developments in communications and navigation. In addition, it should be possible to miniaturize the proposed atomic clock. When a laser beam is modulated by a microwave signal and applied to a photodetector, the electrical output of the photodetector includes a component at the microwave frequency. In atomic clocks of a type known as Raman clocks or coherent-population-trapping (CPT) clocks, microwave outputs are obtained from laser beams modulated, in each case, to create two sidebands that differ in frequency by the amount of a hyperfine transition in the ground state of atoms of an element in vapor form in a cell. The combination of these sidebands produces a transparency in the population of a higher electronic level that can be reached from either of the two ground-state hyperfine levels by absorption of a photon. The beam is transmitted through the vapor to a photodetector. The components of light scattered or transmitted by the atoms in the two hyperfine levels mix in the photodetector and thereby give rise to a signal at the hyperfine- transition frequency. The proposed atomic clock would include an OEO and a rubidium- or cesium- vapor cell operating in the CPT/Raman regime (see figure). In the OEO portion of this atomic clock, as in a typical prior OEO, a laser beam would pass through an electro-optical modulator, the modulated beam would be fed into a fiber-optic delay line, and the delayed beam would be fed to a photodetector. The electrical output of the photodetector would be detected, amplified, filtered, and fed back to the microwave input port of the modulator. The laser would be chosen to have the same wavelength as that of the pertinent ground-state/higher-state transition of the atoms in the vapor. The modulator/ filter combination would be designed to operate at the microwave frequency of the hyperfine transition. Part of the laser beam would be tapped from the fiberoptic loop of the OEO and introduced into the vapor cell. After passing through the cell, this portion of the beam would be detected differentially with a tapped portion of the fiber-optically-delayed beam. The electrical output of the photodetector would be amplified and filtered in a loop that would control a DC bias applied to the modulator. In this manner, the long-term stability and accuracy of the atomic transition would be transferred to the OEO.

MISSE-Flight Facility Polymers and Composites Experiment 1-4 (PCE 1-4)

Spacecraft in low Earth orbit (LEO) are subjected to harsh environmental conditions, including radiation (cosmic rays, ultraviolet (UV), x-ray and charged particle radiation), micrometeoroids and orbital debris, temperature extremes, thermal cycling, and atomic oxygen (AO). These environmental exposures can result in erosion, embrittlement and optical property degradation of susceptible materials threatening spacecraft performance and durability. To increase our understanding of effects such as AO erosion and radiation induced embrittlement of spacecraft materials, NASA Glenn Research Center has developed a series of experiments that are flown as part of the Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE) missions on the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS). These experiments have provided critical space environmental durability data such as AO erosion data of polymers and composites, and radiation induced mechanical property degradation of spacecraft insulation materials, after long term space exposure. In continuing these studies, four Glenn experiments have been flown on ISS’s MISSE-Flight Facility (MISSE-FF). These experiments are the Polymers and Composites Experiment-1 (PCE-1) flown as part of the inaugural MISSE-9 mission, the PCE-2 flown as part of the MISSE-10 mission, the PCE-3 being flown as part of the MISSE-12 mission, and the PCE-4 being flown as part of the MISSE-13 mission. This paper provides an overview of space environmental effects on spacecraft materials and Glenn’s PCE 1-4 MISSE-FF experiments.

Ion-Assisted Nanoscale Material Engineering in Atomic Layers

Achieving deterministic control over the properties of low-dimensional materials with nanoscale precision is a long-sought goal. Mastering this capability has a transformative effect on the design of multifunctional electrical and optical devices. Here, we present an ion-assisted synthetic technique that enables precise control over the material composition and energy landscape of two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals. Our method transforms binary transition-metal dichalcogenides, like MoSe2, into ternary MoS2αSe2(1-α) alloys with systematically adjustable compositions, α. By piecewise assembly of the lateral, compositionally modulated MoS2αSe2(1-α) segments within 2D atomic layers, we present a synthetic pathway toward the realization of multicompositional designer materials. Our technique enables the fabrication of advanced 2D structures with arbitrary boundaries, dimensions as small as 30 nm, and fully customizable energy landscapes. Our optical characterizations further showcase the potential for implementing tailored optoelectronics in these engineered 2D crystals.

Initial Results of the MISSE-Flight Facility Polymers and Composites Experiment 1-4 (PCE 1-4)

These experiments have provided critical space environmental durability data such as AO erosion data of polymers and composites, and radiation induced mechanical property degradation of spacecraft insulation materials, after long term space exposure. In continuing these studies, four Glenn experiments with 365 flight samples have been flown on ISS’s external MISSE-Flight Facility (MISSE-FF). These experiments are the Polymers and Composites Experiment-1 (PCE-1) flown as part of the inaugural MISSE-9 mission, the PCE-2 flown as part of the MISSE-10 mission, the PCE-3 flown as part of the MISSE-12 and MISSE-15 missions, and the PCE-4 flown as part of the MISSE-13 mission. The primary objective of the PCE 1-4 experiments is to determine the AO and radiation durability of spacecraft polymers and composites. In addition, each experiment has a wide variety of spacecraft materials and hence they each have numerous additional sample objectives. Each of the PCE 1-4 is designed to examine the consequences of AO interactions including AO erosion yield (Ey) and optical and thermal property characterization. Several polymers were flown in both ram and zenith flight orientations to determine the effect of varying solar to AO ratios on Ey. Common spacecraft materials including Teflon FEP, white Tedlar and Upilex-S were included on multiple MISSE missions so erosion dependence on environment exposure can be determined. The PCE-1 includes epoxy composite samples with varying ZnO levels to determine the effect of inorganic filler level on AO durability. And, a variety of samples were flown to characterize AO scattering and AO undercutting processes. All four PCE experiments include samples to provide better insight into radiation durability of polymers and composites. The MISSE-9 PCE-1 includes Teflon FEP tensile samples flown in the wake and zenith direction so variations in radiation exposure from the different flight directions can provide insight into radiation induced embrittlement of Teflon FEP. Teflon FEP tensile samples were also flown in the wake direction as part of the MISSE-13 PCE-4. In addition, shape memory alloys, shape memory composites, melanin based composites, stressed and unstressed gossamer sun shield materials, coated and uncoated docking seal samples, and new solar cell cover slides were flown for space radiation durability and/or shielding assessment. This paper provides an overview of Glenn’s PCE 1-4 MISSE-FF experiments and provides initial post-flight observations and results.

(abstract) Optical Scattering and Surface Microroughness of Ion Beam Deposited Au and Pt Thin Films

Thin films of gold and platinum have been deposited onto superpolished fused silica substrates using thermal evaporation, ion assisted deposition (IAD), and ion assisted sputtering. The influence of ion beam flux, thin film material, and deposition rate on the films microroughness have been investigated. Short range surface microroughness of the films has been examined using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Long range surface microroughness has been characterized using an angle resolved optical scatterometer. Results indicate that ion beam deposited coatings have improved microstructure over thermally evaporated films.

Prospects for sub-nanometer scale imaging of optical phenomena using electron microscopy

Imaging of optical phenomena at the sub-nanometer scale can offer fundamental insights into the electronic or vibrational states in atomic-scale defects, molecules, and nanoparticles, which are important in quantum information, heterogeneous catalysis, optoelectronics, and structural biology. Several techniques have surpassed the traditional Abbe diffraction limit and attained spatial resolutions down to a few nanometers, but sub-nanometer scale optics has remained elusive. Here, we propose an approach that combines spectrally specific photoabsorption with sub-nanometer scale resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of photoexcited electrons. We first estimate the signal level and conditions required for imaging nanoscale optical phenomena in core-shell quantum dots (QDs) like CdS/CdTe. Furthermore, we show the possibility of imaging photoexcited states of atomic-scale defects in a monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) using ab initio and high resolution (HR)TEM simulations. The ability to directly visualize photoexcited states at the sub-nanometer scale opens opportunities to study properties of individual quantum dots and atomic defects.

Space Environmental Exposure of the MISSE 9-15 Polymers and Composites Experiment 1-4 (PCE 1-4)

This paper provides details on the space environment exposure of Glenn’s PCE 1-4 flight samples. Passive samples were flown in each flight orientation for post-flight AO fluence determination and on-orbit contamination analyses. Solar exposure estimates were computed by Aegis Aerospace, Inc. The environment exposure details include the total space vacuum duration, time on the MISSE-FF, the direct space exposure duration, the AO fluence and the computed mission Equivalent Sun Hours (ESH) solar exposure. Typical on-orbit temperatures are also provided along with a summary of analyses of PCE 1-4 contamination witness samples. Knowledge of the space environmental exposure of the PCE 1-4 flight samples is crucial for flight data interpretation.

Vapor-Cell-Based Atomic Electrometry for Detection Frequencies below 1 kHz

Rydberg-assisted atomic electrometry using alkali-metal atoms contained inside a vacuum environment for detecting external electric fields at frequencies below a few kilohertz has been quite challenging due to the low-frequency electric-field-screening effect that is caused by the alkali-metal atoms adsorbed on the inner surface of the container. In this work, we report a very slow electric-field-screening phenomenon with a timescale up to the order of seconds on a rubidium-vapor cell that is made of monocrystalline sapphire. Furthermore, using this sapphire rubidium-vapor cell with an optically induced, internal bias electric field, we demonstrate vapor-cell-based, low-frequency atomic electrometry that responds to the electric field strength linearly. Limited by the given experimental conditions, this demonstrated atomic electrometer uses an active volume of 11 mm 3 and delivers a spectral noise floor of around 0.34 mV/m √Hz and a 3-dB low cutoff frequency of around 770 Hz inside the vapor cell. This work investigates a regime of vapor-cell-basedatomic electrometry that was seldom studied before, which may enable more applications that use atomicelectric-field-sensing technology.

Charge state-dependent symmetry breaking of atomic defects in transition metal dichalcogenides

Abstract The functionality of atomic quantum emitters is intrinsically linked to their host lattice coordination. Structural distortions that spontaneously break the lattice symmetry strongly impact their optical emission properties and spin-photon interface. Here we report on the direct imaging of charge state-dependent symmetry breaking of two prototypical atomic quantum emitters in mono- and bilayer MoS 2 by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM). By changing the built-in substrate chemical potential, different charge states of sulfur vacancies (Vac S ) and substitutional rhenium dopants (Re Mo ) can be stabilized. $${\mathrm{Vac}}_{{{{{{{{\rm{S}}}}}}}}}^{-1}$$ Vac S − 1 as well as $${{\mathrm{Re}}}_{{{{{{{{\rm{Mo}}}}}}}}}^{0}$$ Re Mo 0 and $${\mathrm{Re}}_{{\rm{Mo}}}^{-1}$$ Re Mo − 1 exhibit local lattice distortions and symmetry-broken defect orbitals attributed to a Jahn-Teller effect (JTE) and pseudo-JTE, respectively. By mapping the electronic and geometric structure of single point defects, we disentangle the effects of spatial averaging, charge multistability, configurational dynamics, and external perturbations that often mask the presence of local symmetry breaking.

Effects of atomic oxygen and ultraviolet radiation on candidate elastomeric materials for long duration missions. Test series no.1

Research was conducted at MSFC on the behavior of elastomeric materials after exposure to simulated space environment. Silicone S383 and Viton V747 samples were exposed to thermal vacuum, ultraviolet radiation, and atomic oxygen and then evaluated for changes in material properties. Characterization of the elastomeric materials included weight, hardness, optical inspection under normal and black light, spectrofluorescence, solar absorptance and emittance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and permeability. These results indicate a degree of sensitivity to exposure and provided some evidence of UV and atomic oxygen synergism.

Utilizing Single-Crystalline Transformations for Precise Atom Placement in Multicomponent Cluster-Based Coordination Networks

The assembly of cluster or superatom building-blocks into extended solids has revolutionized materials design, enabling the synthesis of modular semiconductors with well-defined structures and tunable electronic, magnetic or optical properties. This strategy has recently advanced the synthesis of complex metal oxides with multifunctional or emergent behaviors, but precise atom placement of multiple elements with similar chemistries or preferred coordination environments remains a significant challenge. Here, in this study, we present a strategy for synthesizing polyoxometalate (POM)-based coordination networks with up to three different cations in precisely defined positions. Our approach leverages a single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation in which the spatial placement of cations is governed by their availability at distinct stages of crystallization and transformation. Specifically, [ZP 5 W 30 O 110 ] (15-n)- (Z = Na + , K + , Ca 2+ , Ag + , Bi 3+ , Y 3+ , any Ln 3+ , Th 4+ ) is coordinatively assembled with various bridging metal cations (Y 3+ , any Ln 3+ , Th 4+ ). By using the encapsulated cation (Z) to "label" the POM, we track the phase-transformation and confirm the retention of single crystallinity. The integrated use of POM labeling and SCSC transformation enables rational control over cation distribution and establishes a versatile strategy for constructing multicomponent materials with high compositional and spatial precision.

Density Functional Tight Binding Insights into Plasmonic Silver–Platinum Nanoparticles and Alloys for Enhanced Photocatalysis

Developing accurate and efficient Slater-Koster (SK) tight-binding parameter sets is essential for quantum plasmonic studies of alloyed metal nanoparticles, as conventional time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations are computationally prohibitive for larger clusters. In this work, we develop and validate density functional tight binding (DFTB) parameter sets for both ground state (GS-SK) and excited state (ES-SK) calculations to study the structural, electronic, and optical properties of silver (Ag), platinum (Pt), and Ag–Pt nanoalloys. Our investigation of the ground state properties demonstrates that the GS-SK parameters enable DFTB to closely reproduce the electronic structures of platinum clusters with diverse sizes and geometries – showing qualitative agreement with DFT for density of states (DOS) profiles and energy levels. The ES-SK parameters accurately describe excited-state properties compared to TD-DFT reference calculations, including the broad, featureless absorption profiles of Pt that are dominated by interband transitions. Using the ES-SK parameters within a real-time TD-DFTB framework, we compute size-dependent optical absorption spectra of Ag, Pt and Ag-Pt nanocubes containing up to 1099 atoms (size ∼4.18 nm). A detailed study of Ag–Pt and Pt-Ag core–shell nanoparticles shows quenching of the Ag plasmon resonance even at monolayer coverage for Ag-Pt, but not for Pt-Ag. We also show how to define submonolayer Ag-core Pt-shell cubic structures that have similar optical properties to those generated experimentally for much larger particles, which offers potential for describing plasmon-enhanced photocatalysis. Collectively, the GS-SK and ES-SK parameter sets provide an accurate, computationally efficient approach for modeling the complex optical and electronic behavior of noble–transition metal nanostructures and their alloys.
