This work presents a detailed instructional demonstration using the Rietveld refinement software MAUD for evaluating the crystallographic texture of single- and dual-phase materials, as applied to High-Pressure-Preferred-Orientation (HIPPO) neutron

Influence of solidification structure on austenite to martensite transformation in additively manufactured hot-work tool steels

August 15, 2021
Author(s)
Chia-Ying Chou, Niklas H. Pettersson, Durga A, Fan Zhang, Christos Oikonomou, Annika Borgenstam, Joakim Odqvist, Greta Lindwall
The microstructure of a hot-work tool steel additively manufactured using laser powder-bed fusion (L-PBF), and its response to post heat treatment, is studied in detail by microstructure characterization and computational thermodynamics and kinetics. The

Electrically Driven Exchange Bias via Solid State Magneto-Ionics

August 4, 2021
Author(s)
Peyton Murray, Christopher Jensen, Alberto Quintana, Junwei Zhang, Xixiang Zhang, Alexander Grutter, Brian Kirby, Kai Liu
Electrically induced ionic motion offers a new way to realize voltage-controlled magnetism, opening the door to a new generation of logic, sensor, and data storage technologies. Here, we demonstrate an effective approach to magneto-ionically and

Adaptive Peak Fitting for Isotope Analysis via Atom Probe Mass Spectrometry

July 30, 2021
Author(s)
Frederick Meisenkothen, Daniel Samarov, Mark McLean, Irina Kalish, Eric B. Steel
Atom probe tomography (APT) is an emergent characterization technique that has begun to see widespread use within the last 15 years. The technique offers the highest spatial resolution of any mass spectrometry technique for solid-state specimens, as well

Integrated superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors on titanium in-diffused lithium niobate waveguides

July 28, 2021
Author(s)
Varun Verma, Richard Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Jan P. Hoepker, Maximilian Protte, Raimund Ricken, Victor Quiring, Christof Eigner, Christine Silberhorn, Tim J. Bartley
We demonstrate the integration of amorphous tungsten silicide superconducting nanowire single- photon detectors on titanium in-diffused lithium niobate waveguides. We show proof-of-principle detection of evanescently-coupled photons of wavelength 1550nm

Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Characterization of SrCl 2 -ENG Composite for Thermochemical Heat Storage

July 28, 2021
Author(s)
Anastasiia Karabanova, Kenneth D. Knudsen, Perizat Berdiyeva, Leide P. Cavalcanti, Yun Liu, Michel van der Pal, Stefano Deledda, Didier Blanchard
This work presents an in-situ nanoscale structural characterization of the composite material SrCl 2-Expanded Natural Graphite (ENG) during ammonia absorption and desorption, using small angle neutron scattering (SANS) together with X-ray powder

Layered Double Perovskites

July 26, 2021
Author(s)
Hayden Evans, Lingling Mao, Ram Seshadri, Anthony K. Cheetham
Successful strategies for the design of crystalline materials with useful function are frequently based on the systematic tuning of chemical composition within a given structural family. Perovskites with the formula ABX 3, perhaps the best-known example of

Promoting Persistent Superionic Conductivity in Sodium Monocarba-closo-dodecaborate NaCB11H12 via Confinement within Nanoporous Silica

July 26, 2021
Author(s)
Mikael Andersson, Vitalie Stavila, Alexander V. Skripov, Mirjana Dimitrievska, Malgorzata T. Psurek, Juscelino Leao, Olga Babanova, Roman Skoryunov, Alexei Soloninin, Maths Karlsson, Terrence J. Udovic
Superionic phases of bulk anhydrous salts based on large cluster-like polyhedral (carba)borate anions are generally stable only well above room temperature, rendering them unsuitable as solid-state electrolytes in energy-storage devices that typically

Atom probe tomography

Author(s)
Ann Chiaramonti Debay, Baptiste Gault, Julie Cairney, Michael P. Moody, Oana Cojocaru-Miredin, Patrick Stender, Renelle Dubosq, Christoph Freysoldt, Surendra Kumar Makineni, Tong Li
Atom probe tomography (APT) provides three-dimensional compositional mapping with sub-nanometre resolution. The sensitivity of APT is in the range of parts per million for all elements, including light elements such as hydrogen, carbon or lithium, enabling

Simulated filament shapes in embedded 3D printing

July 22, 2021
Author(s)
Leanne Friedrich, Jonathan Seppala
Embedded 3D printing, wherein fluid inks are extruded into a bath, has enabled the manufacture of complex, custom structures ranging from cell-laden tissue analogues to soft robotics. This method encompasses two techniques: embedded ink writing (EIW)
