Liquid–Solid Mixtures of Ga Metal Infused with Cu Microparticles and Nanoparticles for Microscale and Nanoscale Patterning of Solid Metals at Room Temperature
This paper demonstrates and characterizes a simple ink for nanopatterning of solid metallic structures under ambient conditions by taking advantage of the low melting point of gallium and its affinity to form intermetallics with other metals. Bare copper micro- and nanoparticles readily mix with liquid gallium near room temperature to form a paste that ultimately amalgamates into a dense solid when mixed at the appropriate concentration ratios. The paste has sufficient shelf life that can be extruded from a nozzle at modest temperatures to form solid three-dimensional (3D) shapes. Additionally, the paste can be molded at room temperature to replicate feature sizes ranging from a few millimeters down to hundreds of nanometers. In situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA) data show gallium and copper readily interdiffuse to form the thermodynamically expected intermetallic phase. We describe the capabilities and limitations of a simple way to pattern solid metals in an additive fashion (syringe-based extrusion) and with high resolution (molding) at or near room temperature. Here, the use of a paste that solidifies provides a novel route for 3D printing of solid metals at ambient temperatures as well as the creation of micro- and nanostructured metallic surfaces that may be useful for optics, non-wetting surfaces, or electronic microcomponents.

{sup 58}Ni({sup 3}He,t){sup 58}Cu*({gamma}) Measurements with GODDESS to Constrain the Astrophysical Rate of {sup 57}Ni(p,{gamma}){sup 58}Cu
The observation of γ rays from the decay of 44Ti in the remnants of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) provides crucial information regarding the nucleosynthesis occurring in these events, as 44Ti production is sensitive to CCSNe conditions. The final abundance of 44Ti is also sensitive to specific nuclear input parameters, one of which is the 57Ni(p,γ) 58Cu reaction rate. A precise rate for 57Ni(p,γ) 58Cu is thus critical if 44Ti production is to be an effective probe into CCSNe. To experimentally constrain the 57Ni(p,γ) 58Cu rate, the structure properties of 58Cu were measured via the 58Ni(3He,t)58Cu*(γ) reaction using GODDESS (GRETINA ORRUBA Dual Detectors for Experimental Structure Studies) at Argonne National Laboratory’s ATLAS facility. Details of the experiment, ongoing analysis, and plans are presented.

Solution chemistry effects on the stress corrosion cracking behavior of alloy 2090 (Al-Li-Cu) and alloy 2024 (Al-Cu-Mg)
The SCC initiation behavior of alloys 2090 and 2024 is examined in various NaCl-based environments. The pre-exposure and bulk/local solution chemistry effects discovered by Holroyd et al. (1986) are investigated, with emphasis on the effect of bulk solution chemistries and atmospheric CO2 on the occluded cell environment and the role of the occluded environment in the crack initiation and early-stage propagation processes. It was found that constant immersion in NaCl does not promote SCC in alloy 2090 or alloy 2024. Upon removal from NaCl, SCC is quickly facilitated, but only in the presence of atmospheric CO2. The need for CO2 is attributed to an increase in carbonate concentrations, eventually allowing passivation of blunted fissures by precipitation of Li2CO3. It is inferred that any effects due to aging are small in magnitude, relative to the effects of subtle changes in the bulk/local solution chemistries.
Comparing the results of an analytical model of the no-vent fill process with no-vent fill test results for a 4.96 cu m (175 cu ft) tank
NASA-Lewis has been investigating a no-vent fill method for refilling cryogenic storage tanks in low gravity. Analytical modeling based on analyzing the heat transfer of a droplet has successfully represented the process in 0.034 and 0.142 sq m commercial dewars using liquid nitrogen and hydrogen. Recently a large tank (4.96 sq m) was tested with hydrogen. This lightweight tank is representative of spacecraft construction. This paper presents efforts to model the large tank test data. The droplet heat transfer model is found to overpredict the tank pressure level when compared to the large tank data. A new model based on equilibrium thermodynamics has been formulated. This new model is compared to the published large scale tank's test results as well as some additional test runs with the same equipment. The results are shown to match the test results within the measurement uncertainty of the test data except for the initial transient wall cooldown where it is conservative (i.e., overpredicts the initial pressure spike found in this time frame).
In-simulator assessment of trade-offs arising from mixture of color cuing and monocular, binoptic, and stereopsis cuing information
The use of monochrome Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) systems is becoming prevalent in today's complex flight mission environment. These HMD systems can provide stereopsis cueing as an almost natural byproduct for binocular helmet systems of an additional image generation source is provided. The addition of color cueing capability is much more difficult. The application of stereopsis cueing to advanced HMD and heads-down flight display concepts has demonstrated gains in pilot situation awareness and improved task performance. To provide stereopsis, binocular HMD systems must trade some of the total field-of-view (FOV) available from their two monocular fields to obtain a partial overlap region. The visual field then provides a mixture of cues, with monocular regions on both peripheries, and, in the overlapped center, a binoptic (the same image to both eyes) or, if lateral disparity is introduced to produce two images, a stereo region. The goal of this research was to assess the trade-offs arising from the mixture of color cueing and monocular, biocular, and stereopsis cueing information in peripheral monitoring displays as encountered in HMD systems. The accompanying effect of stereopsis cueing in the foveal display of tracking information was also assessed.
