The effects of radiation-induced grain subdivision and dislocations on the fracture properties of uranium dioxide

Microcantilever bending tests were applied on uranium dioxide samples irradiated by 84 MeV Xe ions. Depending on the initial grain sizes, different levels of grain subdivision and dislocation development were observed near the irradiated surface. These radiation damage features were shown to degrade the fracture properties of both samples. The fundamental aspects of the radiation-microstructure-property relationships were discussed in this paper, taking a holistic consideration of the microcantilever bending data, fractography and microstructures. The separate effects of the irradiation-induced grain subdivision and dislocations on the fracture initiation and propagation of uranium dioxide were discussed. In conclusion, it was observed that radiation-induced dislocations and grain subdivision, without the presence of Xe bubbles co-located with the defects, cause reductions in the Young's modulus, fracture strain, and fracture stress, and a transition to intergranular fracture.

Temperature Effects on Interdiffusion of Al and U-Mo under Irradiation

A high-energy Xe ion irradiation experiment was conducted to investigate the temperature dependence of interdiffusion in bilayer Al-UMo samples under irradiation. The amount of interdiffusion achieved at a fixed dose with the increase of temperature showed a clear transition at 175 degrees C (with an estimated error in the range of ± 10 degrees C) from temperature-independent to temperature-dependent behavior. The activation energy derived from the curve of interdiffusion quantity vs. irradiation temperature is 0.77 ± 0.16 eV. This information has been utilized to understand the temperature effect on the interdiffusion process that occurred at the interfaces of U-Mo particles and the Al matrix in U-Mo/Al dispersion fuels, whose magnitude significantly impacts the fuel's performance. Although this temperature effect was deemed important, it cannot be examined directly using in-pile irradiation data, as fuel temperatures cannot be measured in reactor irradiation and are highly correlated with fission rate and thermal conductivity evolution. To connect the knowledge accumulated from ion irradiation with in-pile irradiation data, simulation of a full-sized U-Mo/Al dispersion fuel plate irradiated in the FUTURE test in the BR2 reactor was performed with the Dispersion Analysis Research Tool (DART), a dispersion fuel performance code. DART is equipped with an interaction or interdiffusion layer (IL) growth correlation formulated to describe the temperature dependence of ion mixing results. The agreement between calculated and measured fuel meat constituent volume fractions and swelling data demonstrated that the temperature effect on in-pile Al-UMo interdiffusion is well captured with the correlation. In this case, the fitted activation energy is 0.70 eV. Considering the uncertainties associated with the ion irradiation data, the activation energy obtained from in-pile data fitting is in accord with that from ion irradiation results.

4D Imaging of ZnO-Coated Nanoporous Al 2 O 3 Aerogels by Chemically Sensitive Ptychographic Tomography: Implications for Designer Catalysts

The 3D chemical structure (4D spectromicroscopy) of nanoporous Al 2 O 3 aerogels coated with ZnO by atomic layer deposition (ALD) was studied by multienergy scanning transmission X-ray microscopy. These materials are representative of a class of designer catalysts in which the nanoporous support is prepared separately from the active catalyst material, which is subsequently introduced by ALD, thereby allowing independent optimization of the morphology, chemistry, and spatial distribution of the support and catalyst. The samples studied were prepared by Ga ion and Xe plasma focused ion beam (FIB) milling as well as drop casting from water suspension. Zn L and Al K edge spectra of six samples with three different ZnO loadings were measured to investigate how loading and different sample preparation methods affect the 3D distribution of the ZnO and Al 2 O 3 . Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) and ptychographic imaging at two energies each at the Zn L 3 and Al K edge were measured. The ptychography data were analyzed by using the SHARP reconstruction code to generate quantitative 2D chemical maps of the Al 2 O 3 and the ZnO. The STXM and ptychography maps were then measured at a sequence of tilt angles, covering up to 160° of rotation. The 3D structure of the ZnO and Al 2 O 3 was derived from the tilt series data by tomographic reconstruction using a compressed sensing algorithm. A twodimensional spatial resolution (half-period) of 6 nm, measured by Fourier ring correlation, and a 3D spatial resolution (half-period) of 9 nm, measured by Fourier shell correlation, were achieved when using the COSMIC beamline at the Advanced Light Source (ALS). The results show that for all of the ZnO loadings studied there is nonuniform coverage of the ZnO on the Al 2 O 3 aerogel framework. In addition, we found that both FIB methods create sample artifacts, although the distortion was less with Xe plasma than Ga ion FIB.

Experimental studies on photoabsorption by endohedral fullerene ions with a focus on Xe@C 60 + confinement resonances

A brief overview on the status of experimental investigations into photoionization and fragmentation of fullerenes and endohedral fullerenes by absorption of a single short-wavelength photon is presented. The focus of this paper is on the endohedral Xe@C 60 + molecular ion in which a xenon atom is centrally encapsulated inside a C$^{+}_{60}$ fullerene cage. Confinement resonances that result from the interference of Xe photoelectron matter waves emerging from the C$^{+}_{60}$ cavity were studied by exposing Xe@C 60 + ions to synchrotron radiation of 60 to 150 eV energy which is the region of the well-known giant atomic Xe 4d excitation resonance. Photoions Xe@C n q+ (with final charge states q = 2,3,4 of the product ions and numbers of carbon atoms left in the cage) were recorded as a function of photon energy and cross sections for the individual reaction channels were determined. In addition to previous work, new final channels (q = 2; n = 60, 58 and q = 4; n = 58, 56) were observed, and thus, about 70% of the oscillator strength expected for the encapsulated Xe atom in the investigated energy range could be recovered. The present results establish the first and, so far, only conclusive experimental observation of confinement resonances in an endohedral fullerene. The data are in remarkable agreement with relativistic R-matrix calculations that accompanied the previous experimental work.

Using Xe Plasma FIB for High-Quality TEM Sample Preparation

Here, a direct comparison between electron transparent transmission electron microscope (TEM) samples prepared with gallium (Ga) and xenon (Xe) focused ion beams (FIBs) is performed to determine if equivalent quality samples can be prepared with both ion species. We prepared samples using Ga FIB and Xe plasma focused ion beam (PFIB) while altering a variety of different deposition and milling parameters. The samples’ final thicknesses were evaluated using STEM-EELS $\textit{t/λ}$ data. Using the Ga FIB sample as a standard, we compared the Xe PFIB samples to the standard and to each other. We show that although the Xe PFIB sample preparation technique is quite different from the Ga FIB technique, it is possible to produce high-quality, large area TEM samples with Xe PFIB. We also describe best practices for a Xe PFIB TEM sample preparation workflow to enable consistent success for any thoughtful FIB operator. For Xe PFIB, we show that a decision must be made between the ultimate sample thickness and the size of the electron transparent region.

Ion Manipulation from Liquid Xe to Vacuum: Ba-Tagging for a nEXO Upgrade and Future 0 νββ Experiments

Neutrinoless double beta decay (0𝜈𝛽𝛽) provides a way to probe physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The upcoming nEXO experiment will search for 0𝜈𝛽𝛽 decay in 136 Xe with a projected half-life sensitivity exceeding 10 28 years at the 90% confidence level using a liquid xenon (LXe) Time Projection Chamber (TPC) filled with 5 tonnes of Xe enriched to ∼90% in the 𝛽𝛽-decaying isotope 136 Xe. In parallel, a potential future upgrade to nEXO is being investigated with the aim to further suppress radioactive backgrounds and to confirm 𝛽𝛽-decay events. This technique, known as Ba-tagging, comprises extracting and identifying the 𝛽𝛽-decay daughter 136 Ba ion. One tagging approach being pursued involves extracting a small volume of LXe in the vicinity of a potential 𝛽𝛽-decay using a capillary tube and facilitating a liquid-to-gas phase transition by heating the capillary exit. The Ba ion is then separated from the accompanying Xe gas using a radio-frequency (RF) carpet and RF funnel, conclusively identifying the ion as 136 Ba via laser-fluorescence spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Simultaneously, an accelerator-driven Ba ion source is being developed to validate and optimize this technique. The motivation for the project, the development of the different aspects, along with the current status and results, are discussed here.

Fracture behavior of irradiation induced nanocrystalline UO 2 studied by in-situ mechanical testing in transmission electron microscopy

Uranium Dioxide (UO 2 ) is widely used as a fuel in current light water reactors (LWRs). Upon accumulation of radiation damage, LWR UO 2 fuel pellets start to develop a different microstructure at the pellet periphery when fuel burnup exceeds 45–50 GWd/tHM. The resulting porous, nanocrystalline microstructure is one of the most prominent microstructural changes occurring in such fuel. Its fracture mechanisms, which causes fuel fine fragmentation, could impact safety limits when the cladding breaches. Direct measurements of these properties are challenging, therefore a surrogate obtained via ion irradiation can be used. In this study, multiple microcantilevers were fabricated by focused ion beam from both fresh UO 2 and UO 2 irradiated with 84 MeV Xe 26+ ions to a peak dose of 1357 displacements per atom (dpa). Further, the irradiation produced a pseudo high burnup structure approximately 2 µm below the surface. In-situ nano-mechanical bending tests were conducted to investigate the fracture behavior and the effect of the surrogate UO 2 high burnup structure on local fracture properties. Fresh UO 2 fuel was observed to fracture in transgranular mode without nucleation or movement of dislocations. However, the Xe-irradiated nanocrystalline microcantilevers fractured along the grain boundaries, with no influence from the pre-existing micro-cracks in the microcantilever. Fracture toughness for this type of surrogate high burnup UO 2 structure is reported for the first time in literature. Both the fracture stress and toughness show degradation for UO 2 as a result of Xe-irradiation.

Distinctive features of fluorescence and waveguides in magnesium aluminate spinel crystals driven by structural discrepancy

Transparent polycrystalline ceramics are of significant importance for a wide range of scientific and industrial applications. Developing a deeper understanding of their thermodynamic behavior is essential for achieving their maximum output performance in technological applications. This study provides a systematic investigation into the thermal excitation-induced fluorescence kinetics and waveguide characteristics of Magnesium Aluminate Spinel (MgAl 2 O 4 ) single crystals, with a focus on the intricate relationship between structure and properties. High-temperature extreme environments through irradiation with swift heavy ions 645.0 MeV Xe and 352.8 MeV Fe ions were created; the atomic deposition energy threshold (E th ) associated with disorder morphologies was assessed between 0.91 and 0.99 eV atom –1 . The track prediction model was developed to support the theoretical prediction of track formation. Electronic energy loss (E ele ) disrupts the balance of the initial structure through the thermal spike effect, leading to the formation of absorption-related F and F + color centers. These defects enhance photoluminescence in the visible spectrum and result in an effective modulation of the intrinsic bandgap. Moreover, as ion beams penetrate into the material, the uneven damage distribution induces the formation of waveguide structures. In conclusion, these findings provide valuable insights into the fabrication of functional devices through irradiation technologies and the structural changes of MgAl 2 O 4 at high temperatures within extreme environments.

Degradation Diagnostics from the Subsurface of Lithium-Ion Battery Electrodes

Despite the long-established rocking-chair theory of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), developing novel characterization methodology with higher spatiotemporal resolution facilitates a better understanding of the solid electrolyte interphase studies to shape the reaction mechanisms. In this work, we develop a Xenon ion plasma focused ion beam (Xe + PFIB)-based characterization technique to probe the cross-sectional interface of both ternary cathode and graphite anode electrodes, with the focus on revealing the chemical composition and distribution underneath the electrode surface by in-depth analysis of secondary ions. Particularly, the lithium fluoride is detected in the pristine cathode prior to contact with the electrolyte, reflecting that the electrode degradation is in the form of the loss of lithium inventory during electrode preparation. This degradation is related to the hydrolysis of the cathode material and the decomposition of the PVDF binder. Here, through the quantitative analysis of the transition-metal degradation products, manganese is found to be the dominant element in the newly formed inactive fluoride deposition on the cathode, while no transition metal signal can be found inside the anode electrode. These insights at high resolution implemented via a PFIB-based characterization technique not only enrich the understanding of the degradation mechanism in the LIBs but also identify and enable a high-sensitivity methodology to obtain the chemical survey at the subsurface, which will help remove the capacity-fade observed in most LIBs.

Ion Generation Using Frozen Xenon Target for Laser Ion Source

A frozen laser target that is in the gaseous phase at room temperature is advantageous for a laser ion source because it can avoid the accumulation of damage from laser irradiation by regeneration of the target surface by additional gas freezing. In this study, the possibility of forming a xenon ion beam with a current sufficient for heavy-ion inertial fusion (HIF) was investigated. The relationship between the frozen target growth and resulting ion current was analyzed to determine the optimal condition of laser irradiation that ensures stable supply of ion beams for a long time. A frozen target of xenon was formed on a mount cooled to 20 K using a Gifford McMahon cryocooler, and plasma was generated using a Nd:YAG laser. Here, the results showed that it is possible to supply a sufficient ion current for application of singly charged ions as a driver for HIF. Additionally, it was indicated that the xenon responsible for forming the plasma existed only at a certain depth from the target surface. The results imply that it is possible to obtain a stable ion supply for a long time by irradiating the target with a laser after the frozen xenon grows to a sufficient thickness.

Unveiling Swift Heavy Ion Track Morphology in Sr-Based High-Entropy Perovskites

The incorporation of multiple cations on a single lattice site in the high-entropy oxides is considered the key driving factor for modifying the known atomic-level response to energetic ion irradiation due to the presence of structural disorder; however, these effects are not well-understood yet. In this work, we present atomic-level insight into irradiation-induced nanoscale phase transformations in a perovskite-structured high-entropy oxide, Sr(Zr 0.2 Sn 0.2 Ti 0.2 Hf 0.2 Nb 0.2 )O 3 (Sr(HE)O 3 ), subjected to 774 MeV swift Xe heavy ions, where damage is dominated by inelastic ion−lattice interactions. While these ions generally are known to create nanoscale disordered channels, “ion tracks”, along the penetration direction in the material, this study shows the formation of discontinuous and partially recrystallized ion tracks in Sr(HE)O 3 . Compared to SrTiO 3 irradiated under identical energy loss conditions, the ion tracks in Sr(HE)O 3 exhibit significantly reduced diameters and a markedly different interfacial structure. Notably, the crystalline−amorphous interface in Sr(HE)O 3 shows minimal lattice distortion, confined to approximately 2−3 monolayers, in contrast to the extended disordered shell commonly observed in SrTiO 3 . Using in situ atomic-resolution electron microscopy, we further demonstrate that the amorphous/disordered regions within Sr(HE)O 3 ion tracks remain highly stable under electron irradiation, whereas tracks in SrTiO 3 readily recrystallize. This enhanced stability is attributed to the dominance of structural and chemical complexity arising from multiple B-site cations, which suppress defect migration and templated recrystallization driven by electronic excitations and local heating. Overall, this study highlights how high-entropy oxide chemistry fundamentally reshapes irradiation damage evolution, offering insights into defect formation and phase stability under extreme conditions.

Plasma Focused Ion Beam Milling of High-Aspect-Ratio Holes in Diamond

Plasma focused ion beam (PFIB) technology has a great potential for applications requiring rapid micro-machining of high-aspect-ratio features. Here, we use 30-keV Ar, Xe, and O 2 ion beams to study PFIB milling of high-aspect-ratio circular holes in polycrystalline diamond. Our results show that Xe and O 2 ion beams have the highest milling efficiency for low-aspect-ratio and high-aspect-ratio hole milling, respectively. Each ion beam species produces holes with its characteristic shape and wall surface morphology. In conclusion, based on these results, we demonstrate a “hybrid” hole milled in a two-step process with Xe and O 2 ion beams with the geometry and wall morphology attractive for the attachment of a fuel fill tube to the inertial confinement fusion capsule.

Thermal transport across nanoscale damage profile in sapphire irradiated by swift heavy ions

In this work, we studied the degradation of thermal conductivity in single crystal sapphire (α-Al 2 O 3 ) irradiated by 167 MeV Xe swift heavy ions (SHIs) over the multiple fluences in the range of 10 12 –10 14 ions/cm 2 . Thermal conductivity was measured primarily in the cross-plane direction using a noncontact ultrafast optical pump-probe technique called picosecond time domain thermoreflectance (TDTR). Multiple samples with variable ion fluences allowed us to probe distinct regions resulting from different regimes of microstructure evolution caused by electronic energy loss. By tuning the penetration depth of the thermal waves using different modulation frequencies, two regions with distinct conductivities were identified and the values of which were found to be consistent with phonon-mediated thermal transport models while the microstructure was confirmed by electron microscopy characterization. These damaged regions were determined to be a several micrometer thick ion track region and several tens of nanometer-thick amorphous layer present only above 5.0 × 10 13 ions/cm 2 . These results demonstrate the applicability of TDTR to resolve thermal transport behavior in SHI irradiated oxides having nonhomogeneous damage profile on a nanometer scale. The presented approach facilitates future studies aiming at resolving the impact of distinct damage resulting from electronic and nuclear stopping regimes under irradiation.

Atomic structure considerations for the low-temperature opacity of Xenon

Here, we have begun a preliminary investigation into the opacity of Xe at low temperatures (<50 eV). The emissivity and opacity of Xe is a crucial factor in determining the utility of Xe in EUV lithography, with numerous industrial applications. To this end, we have been exploring the accuracy of some approximations used in opacity models for the relevant ion stages of Xe (6 times ionized through 20 times ionized). Due to the complexity of Xe atomic structure, one needs to use full configuration-interaction to properly describe the strong mixing in the various n=4 sub-shells that give rise to the Δn=0 and Δn=1 transitions that dominate the opacity spectrum at low temperatures. Since calculations that include full configuration-interaction for large numbers of configurations quickly become computationally prohibitive, we have explored hybrid calculations, in which full configuration-interaction is retained for the most important transitions, while intermediate coupling is employed for all other transitions. After verifying atomic structure properties, local-thermodynamic-equilibrium (LTE) opacities are generated using the ATOMIC code at selected temperatures and densities and compared to various experimental results.

Elliptic flow of charged particles at midrapidity relative to the spectator plane in Pb–Pb and Xe–Xe collisions

Measurements of the elliptic flow coefficient relative to the collision plane defined by the spectator neutrons v 2 {$Ψ_{SP}$} in collisions of Pb ions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon–nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 2.76 TeV and Xe ions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 5.44 TeV are reported. The results are presented for charged particles produced at midrapidity as a function of centrality and transverse momentum for the 5–70% and 0.2–6 GeV/c ranges, respectively. The ratio between v 2 {$Ψ_{SP}$} and the elliptic flow coefficient relative to the participant plane v 2 {4}, estimated using four-particle correlations, deviates by up to 20% from unity depending on centrality. This observation differs strongly from the magnitude of the corresponding eccentricity ratios predicted by the T R ENTo and the elliptic power models of initial state fluctuations that are tuned to describe the participant plane anisotropies. The differences can be interpreted as a decorrelation of the neutron spectator plane and the reaction plane because of fragmentation of the remnants from the colliding nuclei, which points to an incompleteness of current models describing the initial state fluctuations. A significant transverse momentum dependence of the ratio v 2 {$Ψ_{SP}$} /v 2 {4} is observed in all but the most central collisions, which may help to understand whether momentum anisotropies at low and intermediate transverse momentum have a common origin in initial state fluctuations. The ratios of v 2 {$Ψ_{SP}$} and v 2 {4} to the corresponding initial state eccentricities for Xe–Xe and Pb–Pb collisions at similar initial entropy density show a difference of (7.0 ± 0.9)% with an additional variation of +1.8% when including RHIC data in the T R ENTo parameter extraction. These observations provide new experimental constraints for viscous effects in the hydrodynamic modeling of the expanding quark–gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC.

Nanostructures evolution assessment and spectroscopic properties modification induced by electronic energy loss in KTaO 3 crystal

Modifications of micro/nanostructure and photoelectric properties under swift ion irradiation (645 MeV Xe 35+ ) of KTaO 3 crystal with varying electronic energy losses (7.2–31.4 keV/nm) and ion velocities (0.18–5.00 MeV/u) have been studied by combining experimental and calculated approaches. The i-TS calculations combined with molecular dynamics simulations are compared with the experimental observations, revealing the inner track fine structures from individual spherical defects to continuous ion tracks with core–shell morphologies, and a quantitative relationship, including the melting (0.42 eV/atom), damage (0.75 eV/atom), and amorphous (1.71 eV/atom) thresholds, is established to successfully predict the inner disorder/amorphous proportions and track damage morphologies. The surface nanostructures of nanohillocks (isolated or partial overlaps) and nanopits (serious overlaps) directly depend on the combined action of the deposited potential and kinetic energies of incident ions, which induce local melting and sublimation in the near-surface region. Owing to the decreased recombination and the increased separation efficiency between electrons and holes, the higher photogenerated charge carrier mobility enhanced the photocurrent effect, further optimizing the photoconductivity performance in Xe 35+ -irradiated KTaO 3 . Therefore, controlled defect engineering using the ion irradiation technique, as an effective strategy, could design tailored nanostructure systems and regulate photoelectric properties, further promoting the development of novel technological applications.

Lasing efficiency of krypton ions in the (8 – 14)-nm band upon pulsed laser excitation

The emission spectra of krypton plasma in the range of 8 – 14 nm upon excitation of a pulsed gas jet by 1.06-mm Nd : YAG laser radiation with a pulse energy of 0.85 J, pulse duration of 5.2 ns, and repetition rate of 10 Hz are investigated. The krypton emission spectrum is a wide (8 – 14 nm) band, peaking at 10.3 nm, which is formed by a series of much narrower lines. The observed lines are identified, and the fraction of laser pulse energy converted into the (8 – 14)-nm emission band and emitted into half-space (2π sr) is determined. The maximum conversion efficiency is found to be 21 %. The expected throughputs of lithographic systems with sources based on Sn, Xe, and Kr ions for different wavelengths, corresponding to the emission peaks of ions of these materials, are compared.

Electron energy loss spectroscopy study of ceria sinters and nanoparticles irradiated with swift heavy ions

The electronic energy loss spectra of ceria (CeO 2 ) irradiated with swift heavy ions (27 MeV Xe and 946 MeV Au) in the electronic slowing down regime were measured for bulk sintered samples and nanoparticles by using a double Cs-corrected transmission electron microscope. The low-loss region as well as the core-loss region, including the oxygen K-edge and cerium M 4, 5 white lines, were recorded. No strong lattice disorder was found in the low-loss peaks for both types of samples showing the same bulk oxygen plasmon loss peak at about 15 eV. However, there is a clear evidence of cerium reduction to the trivalent oxidation state after irradiation for the sintered samples as shown by the K-edge shape of oxygen and decrease of the Ce M 4 /M 5 intensity ratio. A similar change of the M 4 /M 5 intensity ratio was observed for the irradiated nanoparticles with respect to the virgin sample owing to the high energy input inside the nanograin. The effect of radiation damage on electron energy loss spectroscopy data is analyzed for both types of samples and irradiation conditions.
