Spin-Polarized Yu-Shiba-Rusinov States in an Iron-Based Superconductor

Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) bound states appear when a magnetic atom interacts with a superconductor. In this study, we report on spin-resolved spectroscopic studies of YSR states related with Fe atoms deposited on the surface of the topological superconductor FeTe 0.55 Se 0.45 using a spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscope. We clearly identify the spin signature of pairs of YSR bound states at finite energies within the superconducting gap having opposite spin polarization as theoretically predicted. In addition, we also observe zero-energy bound states for some of the adsorbed Fe atoms. In this case, a spin signature is found to be absent indicating the absence of Majorana bound states associated with Fe adatoms on FeTe 0.55 Se 0.45 .

Large anomalous Nernst effect and nodal plane in an iron-based kagome ferromagnet

Anomalous Nernst effect (ANE), converting a heat flow to transverse electric voltage, originates from the Berry phase of electronic wave function near the Fermi energy E F . Thus, the ANE provides a sensitive probe to detect a topological state that produces large Berry curvature. In addition, a magnet that exhibits a large ANE using low-cost and safe elements will be useful to develop a novel energy harvesting technology. Here, we report our observation of a high ANE exceeding 3 microvolts per kelvin above room temperature in the kagome ferromagnet Fe 3 Sn with the Curie temperature of 760 kelvin. Our theoretical analysis clarifies that a “nodal plane” produces a flat hexagonal frame with strongly enhanced Berry curvature, resulting in the large ANE. Our discovery of the large ANE in Fe 3 Sn opens the path for the previously unexplored functionality of flat degenerate electronic states and for developing flexible film thermopile and heat current sensors.

Production of Precursor Materials for the Development of Iron-Based Superconductor (IBS) Wire

The objective of the activities under this Annex is to address the extrinsic Jc limitations uncovered in pioneering work. In order to engineer the defects pinning landscape charged particle irradiations experiments on bulk samples, different doping and chemical additions will be performed at different National facilities (Test Beam Facility at Fermilab; Linac Isotope Producer at Brookhaven National Laboratory; Integrated Biology Laboratory at University of Wisconsin-Madison; Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State University). The samples will be produced at ENEA by different techniques. Magnetization and advanced microscopy measures will be performed at Fermilab. After irradiation, depending on the level of radioactivity, the samples will be tested at Fermilab or where it is possible to measure radioactive materials as University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Production of Precursor Materials for the Development of Iron-Based Superconductor (IBS) Wire

The goal of this agreement will be devoted to the understanding of the radiation-induced defects landscape produced on irradiated bulk samples and of the intrinsic properties of the stoichometric phases with special regards to the difference interaction with multiple chemical additions and doping elements. Samples will be produced by ENEA Frascati per Fermilab specifications and then shipped to Fermilab for the characterization testing and the execution of irradiation experiments.

Fast Neutron Irradiation Embrittlement-ductilitization of an Iron-based Amorphous Alloy using In Situ Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction

Amorphous Fe-based nanostructured alloy coatings thermally sprayed on bcc steel substrate, were subjected to neutron irradiation doses up to 2 × 10 19 n/cm 2 . It is shown that the interplay between embrittlement and recovery of ductility is governed by amorphous to crystallization transition and phase decomposition in which temperature and irradiation dose have reciprocal effects. Microscopic (X-ray diffraction) observations on the behavior of the amorphous Fe-based alloy are correlated with relevant macroscopically observed mechanical behavior. It is shown that amorphous Fe-based alloy coatings maintain and even enhance their amorphous structure with irradiation, exhibit radiation-induced restoration of thermally-induced embrittlement and finally exhibit resistance to ductility loss up to the fluence of 2 × 10 18 n/cm 2 and good thermal stability up to 350 °C. The latter is deduced from X-ray diffraction experiments of in-situ tensile strain application on the irradiated coating.

Vacuum thermal-mechanical fatigue testing of two iron base high temperature alloys

Ultrahigh vacuum elevated temperature low cycle fatigue and thermal fatigue tests of 304 stainless steel and A-286 alloy have shown significant effects of frequency and combined temperature-strain cycling on fatigue life. At constant temperature, the cyclic life of both alloys was lower at lower frequencies. Combined temperature-strain cycling reduced fatigue life with respect to isothermal life at the maximum temperature of the thermal cycle. Life reductions with in-phase thermal cycling (tension at high temperature, compression at low temperature) were attributed to grain boundary cavitation caused by unreversed tensile grain boundary sliding. The proposed mechanism for out-of-phase cavity generation involved accumulation of unreversed compressive grain boundary displacements which could not be geometrically accomodated by intragranular deformation in the low-ductility A-286 alloy.

Tantalum modified ferritic iron base alloys

Strong ferritic alloys of the Fe-CR-Al type containing 0.4% to 2% tantalum were developed. These alloys have improved fabricability without sacrificing high temperature strength and oxidation resistance in the 800 C (1475 F) to 1040 C (1900 F) range.

Creep-rupture behavior of 6 candidate stirling engine iron-base superalloys in high pressure hydrogen. Volume 1: Air creep-rupture behavior

Four wrought alloys (A-286, IN 800H, N-155, and 19-9DL) and two cast alloys (CRM-6D and XF-818) were tested to determine their creep-rupture behavior. The wrought alloys were used in the form of sheets of 0.89 mm (0.035 in.) average thickness. The cast alloy specimens were investment cast and machined to 6.35 mm (0.250 in.) gage diameter. All specimens were tested to rupture in air at different times up to 3000 h over the temperature range of 650 C to 925 C (1200 F to 1700 F). Rupture life, minimum creep rate, and time to 1% creep strain were statistically analyzed as a function of stress at different temperatures. Temperature-compensated analysis was also performed to obtain the activation energies for rupture life, time to 1% creep strain, and the minimum creep rate. Microstructural and fracture analyses were also performed. Based on statistical analyses, estimates were made for stress levels at different temperatures to obtain 3500 h rupture life and time to 1% creep strain. Test results are to be compared with similar data being obtained for these alloys under 15 MPa (2175 psi) hydrogen.

Advanced thermal barrier system bond coatings for use on nickel-, cobalt- and iron-base alloy substrates

New and improved Ni-, Co-, and Fe-base bond coatings have been identified for the ZrO2-Y2O3 thermal barrier coatings to be used on Ni-, Co-, and Fe-base alloy substrates. These bond coatings were evaluated in a cyclic furnace between 1120 and 1175 C. It was found that MCrAlYb (where M = Ni, Co, or Fe) bond coating thermal barrier systems have significantly longer lives than MCrAlY bond coating thermal barrier systems. The longest life was obtained with the FeCrAlYb thermal barrier system followed by NiCrAlYb and CoCrAlYb thermal barrier systems in that order.

Effect of 15 MPa hydrogen on creep-rupture properties of iron-base superalloys

Six wrought alloys (A-286, Incoloy 800H, N-155, 19-9DL, 12RN72, and CG-27) and four cast alloys (XF-813, CRM-6D, HS-31, and SA-F11), candidate materials for use in Stirling engines, were evaluated with reference to creep-rupture characteristics in 15-MPa H2 at 705 and 925 C. An analysis of the test results indicates that hydrogen has no effect on the rupture life and the minimum creep rate of the alloys investigated. Rupture ductility in hydrogen is lower than in air, but the mode of fracture is not significantly affected.
