Orbital Debris Shape Effect Investigations for Mitigating Risk

NASA’s Orbital Debris Program Office (ODPO) and Hypervelocity Impact Technology (HVIT) team have coordinated to better understand the risks to upper stages and spacecraft from non-spherical orbital debris. It is well understood that fragmentation (collision or explosion) events in orbit produce fragments of various materials, sizes, and shapes. To further characterize these parameters, the ODPO is developing the next-generation Orbital Debris Engineering Model (ORDEM) version 4.0 to include orbital debris shape distributions. Ground-based assets, such as radar and optical sensors, can provide size estimates and some insight into material based on radar return or optical filter photometry/spectroscopy, respectively. Characterizing an object’s shape requires more laboratory analyses to infer how shape affects these measurements. More importantly, in addition to size and material/density, the shape of fragments in orbit will alter the ballistic limit equations used in orbital debris risk assessments with NASA’s Bumper Code. The ODPO plans to release ORDEM 4.0 in the coming years. Performing ground-based laboratory impact tests on high-fidelity spacecraft mockups provides the means to directly measure size, mass, material/density, and shape of fragments, all key parameters needed to characterize real-world break up events. The DebriSat test, the results of which are provided, showcases the details of this type of experiment. The goal of this collaborative research between the ODPO and the HVIT team is to include a shape parameter in the environmental and breakup models used to assess risk for various space structures. This paper examines ground-based laboratory impact tests and the associated fragment shape categories. Provided these defined shapes, the approach is simplified by assuming a right circular cylinder (RCC) approximation with varying length-to-diameter ratios. Highlights of impact tests conducted by the HVIT team using non-spherical projectiles based on the RCC approximation are presented. Hydrocode simulations have also been performed to expand on the complexity of variations with non-spherical projectiles. Lastly, ray-tracing simulations of various RCCs of known material are provided to support the ongoing research on optical reflectance distributions with known shapes and to highlight how this may modify the current optical size estimation model. The status and plan forward are outlined for NASA's orbital debris shape effect investigation using a multidisciplinary approach by the ODPO and the HVIT team.

Integrated Modeling Tools for Thermal Analysis and Applications

Integrated modeling of spacecraft systems is a rapidly evolving area in which multidisciplinary models are developed to design and analyze spacecraft configurations. These models are especially important in the early design stages where rapid trades between subsystems can substantially impact design decisions. Integrated modeling is one of the cornerstones of two of NASA's planned missions in the Origins Program -- the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) and the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM). Common modeling tools for control design and opto-mechanical analysis have recently emerged and are becoming increasingly widely used. A discipline that has been somewhat less integrated, but is nevertheless of critical concern for high precision optical instruments, is thermal analysis and design. A major factor contributing to this mild estrangement is that the modeling philosophies and objectives for structural and thermal systems typically do not coincide. Consequently the tools that are used in these discplines suffer a degree of incompatibility, each having developed along their own evolutionary path. Although standard thermal tools have worked relatively well in the past. integration with other disciplines requires revisiting modeling assumptions and solution methods. Over the past several years we have been developing a MATLAB based integrated modeling tool called IMOS (Integrated Modeling of Optical Systems) which integrates many aspects of structural, optical, control and dynamical analysis disciplines. Recent efforts have included developing a thermal modeling and analysis capability, which is the subject of this article. Currently, the IMOS thermal suite contains steady state and transient heat equation solvers, and the ability to set up the linear conduction network from an IMOS finite element model. The IMOS code generates linear conduction elements associated with plates and beams/rods of the thermal network directly from the finite element structural model. Conductances for temperature varying materials are accommodated. This capability both streamlines the process of developing the thermal model from the finite element model, and also makes the structural and thermal models compatible in the sense that each structural node is associated with a thermal node. This is particularly useful when the purpose of the analysis is to predict structural deformations due to thermal loads. The steady state solver uses a restricted step size Newton method, and the transient solver is an adaptive step size implicit method applicable to general differential algebraic systems. Temperature dependent conductances and capacitances are accommodated by the solvers. In addition to discussing the modeling and solution methods. applications where the thermal modeling is "in the loop" with sensitivity analysis, optimization and optical performance drawn from our experiences with the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM), and the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) are presented.

Accessibility and Mechanical Stability of Nanoporous Zinc Oxide and Aluminum Oxide Coatings Synthesized via Infiltration of Polymer Templates

The conformal nanoporous inorganic coatings with accessible pores that are stable under applied thermal and mechanical stresses represent an important class of materials used in the design of sensors, optical coatings, and biomedical systems. Here, we synthesize porous AlO x and ZnO coatings by the sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) of two types of polymers that enable the design of porous conformal coatings—polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIM) and block co-polymer (BCP) templates. Using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), we show that alumina precursors infiltrate both polymer templates four times more efficiently than zinc oxide precursors. Using the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique, we provide a comprehensive study on the room temperature accessibility to water and ethanol of pores in block copolymers (BCPs) and porous polymer templates using polystyrene-block-poly-4-vinyl pyridine (PS75-b-P4VP25) and polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1), polymer templates modified by swelling, and porous inorganic coatings such as AlO x and ZnO synthesized by SIS using such templates. Importantly, we demonstrate that no structural damage occurs in inorganic nanoporous AlO x and ZnO coatings synthesized via infiltration of the polymer templates during the water freezing/melting cycling tests, suggesting excellent mechanical stability of the coatings, even though the hardness of the inorganic nanoporous coating is affected by the polymer and precursor selections. We show that the hardness of the coatings is further improved by their annealing at 900 °C for 1 h, though for all the cases except ZnO obtained using the BCP template, this annealing has a negligible effect on the porosity of the material, as is confirmed by the consistency in the optical characteristics. These findings unravel new potential for the materials being used across various environment and temperature conditions.

Post-Test Analysis of the Deep Space One Spare Flight Thruster Ion Optics

The Deep Space 1 (DSl) spare flight thruster (FT2) was operated for 30,352 hours during the extended life test (ELT). The test was performed to validate the service life of the thruster, study known and identify unknown life limiting modes. Several of the known life limiting modes involve the ion optics system. These include loss of structural integrity for either the screen grid or accelerator grid due to sputter erosion from energetic ions striking the grid, sputter erosion enlargement of the accelerator grid apertures to the point where the accelerator grid power supply can no longer prevent electron backstreaming, unclearable shorting between the grids causes by flakes of sputtered material, and rouge hole formation due to flakes of material defocusing the ion beam. Grid gap decrease, which increases the probability of electron backstreaming and of arcing between the grids, was identified as an additional life limiting mechanism after the test. A combination of accelerator grid aperture enlargement and grid gap decrease resulted in the inability to prevent electron backstreaming at full power at 26,000 hours of the ELT. Through pits had eroded through the accelerator grid webbing and grooves had penetrated through 45% of the grid thickness in the center of the grid. The upstream surface of the screen grid eroded in a chamfered pattern around the holes in the central portion of the grid. Sputter deposited material, from the accelerator grid, adhered to the downstream surface of the screen grid and did not spall to form flakes. Although a small amount of sputter deposited material protruded into the screen grid apertures, no rouge holes were found after the ELT.

Sensitive Thermochromic Behavior of InSeI, a Highly Anisotropic and Tubular 1D van der Waals Crystal

Thermochromism, the change in color of a material with temperature, is the fundamental basis of optical thermometry. A longstanding challenge in realizing sensitive optical thermometers for widespread use is identifying materials with pronounced thermometric optical performance in the visible range. Herein, it is demonstrated that single crystals of indium selenium iodide (InSeI), a 1D van der Waals (vdW) solid consisting of weakly bound helical chains, exhibit considerable visible range thermochromism. A strong temperature-dependent optical band edge absorption shift ranging from 450 to 530 nm (2.8 to 2.3 eV) over a 380 K temperature range with an experimental (dE g /dT) max value extracted to be 1.26 × 10 −3 eV K −1 is shown. This value lies appreciably above most dense conventional semiconductors in the visible range and is comparable to soft lattice solids. The authors further seek to understand the origin of this unusually sensitive thermochromic behavior and find that it arises from strong electron–phonon interactions and anharmonic phonons that significantly broaden band edges and lower the E g with increasing temperature. The identification of structural signatures resulting in sensitive thermochromism in 1D vdW crystals opens avenues in discovering low-dimensional solids with strong temperature-dependent optical responses across broad spectral windows, dimensionalities, and size regimes.

Crystal Structure of an Anisotropic Pyrope Garnet That Contains Two Cubic Phases

The crystal structure of two different samples of pyrope garnet, ideally Mg 3 Al 2 Si 3 O 12 , from South Africa was refined using the Rietveld method, space group Ia3¯d, and monochromatic synchrotron high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction (HRPXRD) data. Sample 1 from Wesselton Mine is a single cubic phase and is optically isotropic. Electron-probe microanalysis (EPMA) provided an average composition {Mg 2.30 Fe 2+ 0.26 Ca 0.42 Mn 2+ 0.02 } Σ3 [Al 1.53 Fe 3+ 0.06 Cr 3+ 0.40 Ti 4+ 0.01 Fe 2+ 0.01 ] Σ2 Si 3 O 12 , which contains a significant amount of Cr cations. The unit-cell parameter (Å) and bond distances (Å) are a = 11.56197(1) Å, average = 2.2985, Al-O = 1.9101(4), and Si-O = 1.6343(3) Å. Sample 2 from De Beers Diamond Mine has an average composition {Mg 2.33 Fe 2+ 0.33 Ca 0.33 Mn 2+ 0.01 } Σ3 [Al 1.73 Fe 3+ 0.12 Cr 3+ 0.06 Ti 4+ 0.05 Fe 2+ 0.05 ] Σ2 Si 3 O 12 and is a fine-scale intergrowth of two cubic phases. The weight percentage, unit-cell parameter (Å), and bond distances (Å) for phase 2a are 62.2(1)%, a = 11.56185(1) Å, average = 2.3006, Al-O = 1.9080(4), Si-O = 1.6334(4) Å. The corresponding values for phase 2b are 37.8(1)%, a = 11.53896(1) Å, average = 2.2954, Al-O = 1.9020(6), Si-O = 1.6334(6) Å. The two cubic phases in sample 2 cause the crystal to be optically anisotropic because of strain induce birefringence. The unit-cell parameter and bond distances for sample 1 are similar to those in phase 2a.

The effect of rare-earth substitution on the Debye temperature of inorganic phosphors

In the quest to predict photoluminescent efficiency in rare-earth substituted inorganic phosphors, research has shown that materials consisting of ordered, rigid crystal structures tend to possess the highest photoluminescent quantum yields. A compound's Debye temperature (Θ D ), which can be calculated using ab initio calculations, is an ideal proxy for quantitatively comparing structural rigidity among different inorganic compounds, allowing potentially efficient phosphors to be selected from large crystal structure databases. However, the high computational cost of these calculations limits estimating Θ D for unsubstituted host crystal structures only. It is assumed that the low substitution concentration of the rare-earth luminescent center does not significantly influence a material's Debye temperature. This work evaluates the validity of this approximation by examining the effect of luminescent center substitution on a host structure's Θ D . Two well-known phosphors, (Y 1– x Ce x ) 3 Al 5 O 12 ( x = 0 – 0.05) and Ba 1-δ Eu δ MgAl 10 O 17 (δ = 0 – 0.15), were synthesized with varying rare-earth concentrations, while Θ D was computationally estimated and then determined by ultrasonic pulse-echo speed-of-sound and low-temperature heat capacity measurements. Overall, the ensuing results provide key implications for using Θ D as a proxy for structural rigidity in substituted inorganic compounds.

Synthesis of LiNiO 2 at Moderate Oxygen Pressure and Long-Term Cyclability in Lithium-Ion Full Cells

The widespread adoption of electric vehicles necessitates higher-energy-density and longer-life cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. LiNiO 2 offers a higher energy density at a lower cost than other high-Ni-content cathodes containing additional transition-metal ions. However, detrimental phase transformations and impedance growth, resulting from structural defects formed during synthesis, lead to poor cyclability and limit the practical viability of LiNiO 2 . Herein, we demonstrate a considerably improved cycle life for LiNiO 2 by synthesizing it under a pressurized oxygen environment. The capacity retention in pouch-type full cells with a graphite anode after 1000 cycles is increased from 59 to 76% by applying a mere 1.7 atm of oxygen pressure during the synthesis of LiNiO 2 . With iodometric titration and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy analysis, we provide clear evidence that oxygen pressure during synthesis reduces the occurrence of lattice oxygen vacancies and increases the content of Ni 3+ in LiNiO 2 , improving its structural integrity and cyclability. Post-mortem analysis of the cycled cathodes provides insights into the sources of degradation occurring during long-term cycling. Here, this work demonstrates a practically viable, synthetic approach combined with doping and coating to achieve improved performance with high-Ni layered oxide materials. Furthermore, this work represents the first report of extended cycling of LiNiO 2 in pouch full cells with graphite anode and will, therefore, serves as an important benchmark for future research on LiNiO 2 .

Dusty Environment Classification and Testing: Dust Mitigation Slide Cleaning Material Study

During the Apollo missions many mechanisms, equipment, and surfaces were contaminated by lunar dust and often negatively affected. The methods used to clear these devices of dust proved ineffective, which led to premature failure in some cases. Systems being designed for upcoming missions to the Moon will need to address the performance degradation risk of dust contamination. Surfaces at risk include thermal control surfaces, solar cells, camera and sensor optics, seals, metal joints and tools, and space suit assemblies. To improve state of the art dust mitigation approaches, the dust mitigation team at NASA Glenn Re-search Center (GRC) explored the effects imposed on substrates during cleaning activities in the presence of lunar dust. The Uniform Dust Deposition System (UDDS) was used to conduct a study of various cleaning techniques on different substrates. Test substrates and cleaning media were selected to represent a wide range of structural and functional materials. Substrates included orthofabric, thermal radiator coating, aluminum, quartz glass, silicone rubber, aluminized Mylar, and FEP. Cleaning materials included cloth wipes, tapes, a brush, and a pliable cleaner concept. Cleaning material / substrate pairs were rated on cleaning efficiency, substrate damage, cleaning material longevity, and ease of use. The best performing cleaning method varied based on application.

Wurtzite materials in alloys of rock salt compounds

Materials with crystal structures containing tetrahedral motifs are preferable for optoelectronic applications because they often have direct band gaps and low electron effective masses. However, crystal structures of manganese chalcogenides typically contain octahedral motifs, such as in rocksalt (RS) MnS and MnSe materials. Here we experimentally show that MnS 1-x Se x alloys with tetrahedrally-bonded wurtzite (WZ) structure can form between MnSe and MnS parent compounds with octahedral RS structures, at S-rich compositions (x<0.4) and low synthesis temperatures (~300°C). The calculated mixing enthalpies of MnS1-xSex alloys in RS and WZ structures cannot explain this experimental observation, so we hypothesize that WZ stabilization may be related to smaller structure density and lower surface energy compared to RS. The resulting WZ MnS 1-x Se x alloys have 3.0-3.2 eV optical absorption onset and lower electrical conductivity (<0.0001 S/cm) compared to the parent RS compounds. These experimental measurement result are consistent with computationally predicted band gaps and effective masses.

Co-templating of polyoxoniobates and silicate/germanate trimer-rings in crystals and inorganic gels

Polyoxometalate (POM) supramolecular gels are a growing family of materials, both for understanding fundamental self-assembly and fabricating flexible monolithic materials that retain the function of metal oxides. Here, we exploited the pH-dependent speciation of polyoxoniobates (PONbs), targeting the formation of PONb-containing supramolecular gels that contain other low molecular weight components (silicate, germanate, phosphate, and carbonate). The introduction of gaseous CO 2 into aqueous hexaniobate solutions resulted in the formation of both new crystalline phases and highly transparent gels. The crystalline phases, formulated Cs 24 [Nb 7 O 22 (NbO(CO 3 ) 2 ) 9 (Si 3 O 9 )]·19.6H 2 O and Cs 21 Na 3 [Nb 7 O 22 (NbO(CO 3 ) 2 ) 9 (Ge 3 O 9 )]·33.6H 2 O are templated by a rare planar [X 3 O 9 ] 6− (X = Si, Ge) ring. Crystalline phases were not obtained with phosphate; instead, the gels contain a mixture of phosphate-centred PONbs and network-forming phosphate. POM speciation within the gels, physical properties, and assembly mechanisms were benchmarked by solution and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopies, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and thermogravimetry-mass spectroscopy. Optical analysis and dielectric behavior of the gels confirmed that they are highly transparent ionic and electronic conductors. The alkali and hydroxide concentration controls the formation of crystalline materials or supramolecular gels while maintaining the same network building blocks, providing a rare opportunity to describe the molecular-level structure of inorganic amorphous materials.

Defect suppression in wet-treated etched-and-regrown nonpolar m-plane GaN vertical Schottky diodes: A deep-level optical spectroscopy analysis

In this work, steady-state photocapacitance (SSPC) was conducted on nonpolar m-plane GaN n-type Schottky diodes to evaluate the defects induced by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) dry etching in etched-and-regrown unipolar structures. An ~10× increase in the near-midgap Ec – 1.9 eV level compared to an as-grown material was observed. Defect levels associated with regrowth without an etch were also investigated. The defects in the regrown structure (without an etch) are highly spatially localized to the regrowth interface. Subsequently, by depth profiling an etched-and-regrown sample, we show that the intensities of the defect-related SSPC features associated with dry etching depend strongly on the depth away from the regrowth interface, which is also reported previously. A photoelectrochemical etching (PEC) method and a wet AZ400K treatment are also introduced to reduce the etch-induced deep levels. A significant reduction in the density of deep levels is observed in the sample that was treated with PEC etching after dry etching and prior to regrowth. An ~2× reduction in the density of Ec – 1.9 eV level compared to a reference etched-and-regrown structure was observed upon the application of PEC etching treatment prior to the regrowth. The PEC etching method is promising for reducing defects in selective-area doping for vertical power switching structures with complex geometries.

Prevalence of pretransition disordering in the rutile-to- CaCl 2 phase transition of GeO 2

WE report the ability to tailor a material's electronic properties using density driven disordering has emerged as a powerful route to materials design. The observation of anomalous structural and electronic behavior in the rutile to CaCl 2 phase transition in SnO 2 led to the prediction that such behavior is inherent to all oxides experiencing such a phase transition sequence [Smith et al., J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 10, 5351 (2019)]. Here, the ultrawide band gap semiconductor GeO 2 is confirmed to exhibit anomalous behavior during the rutile to CaCl 2 phase transition. A phase pure rutile GeO 2 sample synthesized under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions is probed using synchrotron diffraction and x-ray and optical spectroscopy under high pressure conditions. Density functional theory calculations show that the enthalpic barrier to displacing an oxygen along the B 1g librational mode decreases with pressure leading up to the rutile to CaCl 2 phase transition. The band structure of the distorted state shows that such oxygen displacements form small polarons.

Widely spaced planes of magnetic dimers in the Ba 6 Y 2 Rh 2 Ti 2 O 17-δ hexagonal perovskite

In this work, we report the synthesis and initial characterization of Ba 6 Y 2 Rh 2 Ti 2 O 17-δ , a previously unreported material, to the best of our knowledge, with a hexagonal symmetry structure. Face-sharing RhO 6 octahedra form triangular planes of Rh 2 O 9 dimers that are widely separated in the perpendicular direction. The material displays a small effective magnetic moment, due to the Rh ions present, and a negative Curie-Weiss temperature. The charge transport and optical band gaps are very similar, near 0.16 eV. A large upturn in the heat capacity at temperatures below 1 K, suppressed by applied magnetic fields larger than μ 0 H = 2T, is observed. A large T-linear term in the specific heat (γ = 166 mJ/mol f.u-K 2 ) is seen, although the material is insulating at low temperatures. These results suggest the possibility of a spin liquid ground state in this material.

Selected advances in small-angle scattering and applications they serve in manufacturing, energy and climate change

Innovations in small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) at major X-ray and neutron facilities offer new characterization tools for researching materials phenomena relevant to advanced applications. For SAXS, the new generation of diffraction-limited storage rings, incorporating multi-bend achromat concepts, dramatically decrease electron beam emittance and significantly increase X-ray brilliance over previous third-generation sources. This results in intense X-ray incident beams that are more compact in the horizontal plane, allowing significantly improved spatial resolution, better time resolution, and a new era for coherent-beam SAXS methods such as X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. Elsewhere, X-ray free-electron laser sources provide extremely bright, fully coherent, X-ray pulses of <100 fs and can support SAXS studies of material processes where entire SAXS data sets are collected in a single pulse train. Meanwhile, SANS at both steady-state reactor and pulsed spallation neutron sources has significantly evolved. Developments in neutron optics and multiple detector carriages now enable data collection in a few minutes for materials characterization over nanometre-to-micrometre scale ranges, opening up real-time studies of multi-scale materials phenomena. SANS at pulsed neutron sources is becoming more integrated with neutron diffraction methods for simultaneous structure characterization of complex materials. In this paper, selected developments are highlighted and some recent state-of-the-art studies discussed, relevant to hard matter applications in advanced manufacturing, energy and climate change.

Mass loss from cool stars, facts, fads, and fallacies

The accumulation of observational material (ultraviolet spectroscopic measures, quantitative optical spectroscopy, and X-ray photometry) and its use in discerning the presence and character of mass loss across the cool half of the H-R diagram and establishing constraints on theoretical models are discussed. Analogies with closed and open solar magnetic structures are found. Two determinants of atmospheric wind structure, temperature and gravity, may suffice in a most superficial way to define the wind and atmospheric structure in a star, however it is apparent that there is still a missing parameter which may stem from magnetic activity and its particular configuration. Theories that appear successful in reproducing observed line profiles, wind temperatures, and terminal velocities incorporate Alfven wave heating and momentum deposition. Successive observations of an active binary (lambda and G8III-IV) and a supergiant star, alpha Aqr (G2 Ib) revealed that magnetic activity and perhaps mass loss occur on restricted regions of a stellar surface and that long-term structures are present in the wind. These phenomena are present in the solar atmosphere and wind and may be considered a general characteristic of stellar winds.
