We report μSR on the 2D rare earth based parent magnets (Mo 2/3RE 1/3) 2AlC with RE = Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho and Er, and neutron diffraction on the series with RE ≠ Gd (a neutron absorber). By crossing information between the two techniques, we determine the

Sintered powder oxidation variation as a function of build height for titanium alloy produced by electron beam powder-bed fusion

November 26, 2021
Author(s)
Nicholas Derimow, Alejandro Romero, Aldo Rubio, Cesar Terrazas, Francisco Medina, Ryan Wicker, Nik Hrabe
It is well-established that titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) powder oxidizes during electron beam powder-bed fusion (PBF-EB) due to the high background temperatures resulting from layer preheating and sintering of the powder bed before melting. However, it is

Imaging of Magnetic Excitations in Nanostructures with Microwave Near-Field Microscopy

Author(s)
Samuel Berweger, Robert Tyrrell-Ead, Houchen Chang, Mingzhong Wu, Hong Tang, Hans Nembach, Karl Stupic, Stephen E. Russek, Thomas Mitchell (Mitch) Wallis, Pavel Kabos
We present images of spin-wave excitations in a patterned yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin film obtained by use of near-field microwave microscopy, which can achieve spatial resolution as high as 50 nm. Visualization of magnetic excitations is an enticing

Uncertainty Prediction for Machine Learning Models of Material Properties

November 23, 2021
Author(s)
Francesca Tavazza, Brian DeCost, Kamal Choudhary
Uncertainty quantification in artificial intelligence (AI)-based predictions of material properties is of immense importance for the success and reliability of AI applications in materials science. While confidence intervals are commonly reported for

Activation of Mechanophores in a Thermoset Matrix by Instrumented Scratch

November 17, 2021
Author(s)
Chelsea S. Davis, Jeremiah Woodcock, Ryan Beams, Mitchell Rencheck, Muzhou Wang, Stephan J. Stranick, Aaron M. Forster, Jeffrey Gilman
Scratches in polymer coatings and barrier layers negatively impact optical properties (haze, light transmission, etc.), initiate routes of degradation or corrosion (moisture permeability), and nucleate delamination of the coating. Detecting scratches in

Chiral Spin Bobbers in Exchange-Coupled Hard-Soft Magnetic Bilayers

Vishu Gupta, Kamal Choudhary, Francesca Tavazza, Carelyn E. Campbell, Wei-Keng Liao, Alok Choudhary, Ankit Agrawal
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) has been increasingly used in materials science to build property prediction models and accelerate materials discovery. The availability of large materials databases for some properties like formation

Evaluation of a Modified Void Descriptor Function to Uniquely Characterize Pore Networks and Predict Fracture Location in Additively Manufactured Metals

November 15, 2021
Author(s)
Dillon Watring, Jake Benzing, Orion Kafka, Li-Anne Liew, Newell Moser, John Erickson, Nik Hrabe, Ashley Spear
Variations in additive manufacturing (AM) processing parameters can lead to variations in porosity, making it challenging to predict pore- or void-sensitive mechanical response in AM metals. A recently developed pore metric, the void descriptor function
