Many material systems have known or predicted functional phases that are metastable at standard temperature and pressure. While substantial advances have been made in the high-throughput and combinatorial synthesis of materials with a range of stoichiometries, investigation of thermal processing remains largely the domain of iterative uniform anneals or static gradients. Here we develop X-ray probed laser anneal mapping (XPLAM), a high throughput technique coupling spatially resolved X-ray diffraction with microsecond to millisecond laser gradient anneals to produce temperature–dwell–transformation (TDT) diagrams of the phase as a function of quench time and temperature. In addition to showing regimes where specific metastable phases form preferentially, TDT diagrams provide insight into the submillisecond kinetics of solid–solid phase transitions. This is a unique tool for mapping reaction pathways for metastable phases. As a first demonstration of XPLAM, we study Bi2O3, which has a rich set of polytypes, including the d-phase with an exceptionally high oxygen ion conductivity. We demonstrate the first annealing-driven synthesis of room temperature d-Bi2O3. We expect XPLAM to prove a powerful technique for rapid identification of synthetic routes to metastable phases and to generate the exhaustive data sets required for machine learning-guided exploration of materials processing.
Glass-bonded sodalite composite waste forms have been developed for the immobilization of liquid radioactive wastes resulting from off-gas treatment during aqueous reprocessing of used nuclear fuel, with a particular focus on 129I. The proposed composite waste form is comprised of aluminosilicate ceramic phases containing volatile radionuclides bonded with a glassy matrix. In this work, a suite of ten candidate low-temperature glass binders (ZnO-Bi2O3-based glasses and a Na2O-B2O3-SiO2 glass) were examined. Six glasses were mixed with caustic scrubber waste simulant previously converted into a sodalite-rich material (to provide glass fractions of 10 and 20 wt.%), uniaxially pressed into pellets, and sintered at 350 °C or 550 °C for 8 h in air. Iodine retention after heat treatment was assessed by neutron activation analysis, showing retention of 67-100 % of expected iodine. The aqueous durabilities of the resulting materials were then determined, following the ASTM C1308 standard test, showing iodine releases of 1 to 23 g m-2 after 4 d. The cumulative iodine release for the best performing system (a zinc-bismuth-borate glass binder) was <1 g m-2, and its iodine retention from processing was 67 %. The iodine releases compared favorably with other waste forms. In parallel, this best-performing composition was also consolidated via hot isostatic pressing (HIP) in a stainless-steel canister at 550 °C for 2 h under 100 MPa pressure. The HIPed sample was produced at the ~20 g scale and showed improved densification and minimal reaction with the canister.
Oxygen vacancies are found to play a crucial role in inducing many functional properties at the heterointerfaces in complex oxides. Gaining better control over the properties requires an understanding of the atomic structure of oxygen vacancies at the heterointerfaces. In this paper, we elucidate the effects of the interfacial strain on the oxygen-vacancy ordering in fluorite δ-Bi 2 O 3 and perovskite LaNiO 2.5 using first-principles calculations. By applying biaxial strains, we find that the <110>-<111> oxygen vacancy order in δ-Bi2O3 is broken, resulting in a faster diffusion of oxygen ions. Similarly, the biaxial strain is used to leverage both ordered and disordered arrangements of vacancies in LaNiO 2.5 . Besides the vacancy order, we find that the biaxial strain can also be used to break the cation order in Gd 2 Ti 2 O 7 , where Gd and Ti antisites can be created on the cation sublattice, which leads to enhanced radiation tolerance and higher oxygen diffusivity. Overall, these results indicate that the biaxial strain that is commonly present at heterointerfaces can be used to gain control over both ordered and disordered arrangements of defects, potentially opening new opportunities to functionalize complex oxides.
