Effect of proton irradiation temperature on persistent photoconductivity in zinc oxide metal-semiconductor-metal ultraviolet photodetectors

The electrical and structural characteristics of 50-nm-thick zinc oxide (ZnO) metal-semiconductor-metal ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors subjected to proton irradiation at different temperatures are reported and compared. The devices were irradiated with 200 keV protons to a fluence of 1016 cm−2. Examination of the x-ray diffraction (XRD) rocking curves indicates a preferred (100) orientation prior to irradiation, with decrease in crystal quality afterward. Additionally, peak shifts in XRD and Raman spectra of the control sample relative to well-known theoretical positions are indicative of tensile strain in the as-deposited ZnO films. Shifts toward theoretical unstrained positions are observed in the irradiated films, which indicates partial relaxation. Raman spectra also indicate increase in oxygen vacancies (VO) and zinc interstitial defects (Zni) compared to the control sample. Additionally, transient photocurrent measurements performed on each sample at different temperatures showed up to 2× increase in photocurrent decay time constants for irradiated samples vs the control. This persistent photoconductive behavior is linked to the activation of electron and hole traps near the surface, and to the desorption and reabsorption of O2 molecules on the ZnO surface under the influence of UV light. Using an Arrhenius model, trap activation energies were extracted and, by comparing with known energies from the literature, the dominant defects contributing to persistent photoconductivity for each irradiation condition were identified. The persistence of differences in photocurrent transients between different samples months after irradiation indicates that the defects introduced by the suppression of thermally activated dynamic annealing processes have a long-term deleterious effect on device performance.

Androgynous { 10 1 ¯ 2 } twin in zinc

Under ambient conditions, Zn is a hexagonal metal with a large c / a ratio of 1.856. Plastic deformation is predominantly accommodated by basal 〈 a 〉 slip and compression twins on the { 10 1 ¯ 2 } planes. Increasing hydrostatic pressure drastically reduces the c / a ratio of Zn and, when a critical threshold of c / a = 3 at about 10 GPa is crossed, the { 10 1 ¯ 2 } twins are predicted to change from compressive to tensile in nature. What happens at the transition point, when c / a = 3 , remains unknown. Here, we strain-cycle a textured polycrystalline sample of pure Zn at uniform hydrostatic pressures ranging between 2 and 17 GPa, over which the c / a ratio crosses the c / a = 3 compressive-tensile transition for { 10 1 ¯ 2 } twins. During deformation, the state of the sample is monitored through x-ray diffraction to extract texture and internal strain evolution. By comparing the experimental results with the predictions of an elastoviscoplastic polycrystal simulation, we confirm the androgynous nature of { 10 1 ¯ 2 } twin response at low and high pressures. When c / a = 3 , polycrystalline Zn does not display any evidence of twinning and its plastic behavior is controlled by mostly basal and pyramidal 〈 c + a 〉 slip activity, with a very small contribution of prismatic 〈 a 〉 slip. Evidence for the activity of other { 10 1 ¯ n } twinning modes, which have been suggested for Zn under high pressure, are not observed. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Multiscale Modeling of Cr 2 O 3 -doped UO 2 Creep and Fracture

The pursuit of UO 2 fuel with various dopants (e.g., Cr 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 ) for improved accident tolerance due to larger grain sizes and suspected reductions in fission gas release and creep requires advanced modeling and simulation tools. These tools enable rapid multiscale development and understanding of material behavior in regimes where experimental measurements may be lacking. This work builds upon previous multiscale modeling efforts for fission gas behavior of Cr 2 O 3 -doped UO 2 to begin looking at the effects of dopants on mechanical properties with a particular focus on creep and fracture. The results indicate that dislocation climb is the most dominate creep mechanism at almost all temperatures with sensitivity analyses further providing evidence in support of that claim. Limited experimental data from the Advanced Fuels Campaign (AFC) program in the U. S. Department of Energy on tensile strength of Cr 2 O 3 -doped UO 2 indicates that fracture may be less severe in doped specimens. The results on creep and fracture are preliminary given the large uncertainty associated with the models.

High Temperature Mechanical Behavior of Refractory Alloys with Digital Image Correlation

Gas turbine efficiency is typically limited by the maximum allowable temperature for components at the inlet side and in the hot gas flow. Refractory alloys and SiC/SiC ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) are promising candidates for advancing operating temperatures beyond those of Ni-based alloys (>1200 °C). Refractory alloys are more suitable than SiC/SiC CMCs for dynamic components, due to the latter's low toughness and ductility. However, it is well known that refractory alloys suffer from poor oxidation behavior under service lifetimes and conditions, leading to embrittlement concerns. The ARPA-E ULTIMATE program has set out to combine new alloys with advanced coatings to mitigate oxidation/embrittlement effects, while increasing the mechanical performance benefits of refractory materials. Low oxygen (inert gas) or vacuum systems are needed to assess high temperature mechanical performance of developed alloys. To investigate the environmental sensitivity of candidate alloys and develop high temperature testing capabilities, four argon tensile frames were upgraded as well as a single vacuum system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Digital image correlation was incorporated into the vacuum frame allowing for surface strain determination and refined insight into thermomechanical response. Creep testing was performed at 1300 °C on two alloys, C-103 and MHC in vacuum and high purity argon environments. The Mo-based alloy showed less sensitivity to oxygen, indicating that testing in well-controlled argon environments may be suitable. The C-103 alloy demonstrated a stronger sensitivity to oxygen in the well-controlled argon environment, illustrating the need for the developed vacuum testing capabilities. “Small” 25 mm and “large” 76 mm MHC specimens showed comparable results in terms of strain rate during creep testing and ultimate tensile strength during tensile testing, suggesting the viability of smaller geometries that use less material of advanced developmental alloys.

Hybrid fiber metal composite laminate interlaminar reinforcement through metal interlocks

Aircraft and automobile industries are continually seeking high-performance and lightweight solutions. Fiber-reinforced composites in conjunction with metals are being considered in the form of hybrid materials. There is a continuous need for improvement of interfacial bonding between composite layers and metal constituents. In this study, an innovative hybrid fiber interlocking metal hooks laminate (FIMHL) system was developed in which fiber-reinforced thermoset composite, and metal sheets are mechanically bonded together using out of plane hooks stamped in the metal. Process optimization was performed to gain the full benefit of the through-thickness reinforcement. Microstructural analysis showed improved interaction between the metal hooks and the fiber layers which reduced porosity and resin richness. This was reflected in mechanical properties, as tensile and flexural strength of FIMHL was enhanced by 38.5 and 18.8%, respectively, after process optimization. Furthermore, normalized weight fraction (76.4%) properties of FIMHL also confirmed that the increase in mechanical properties of optimized panel were not only due to increased reinforcement (glass fiber + aluminum) volume fraction but also because of improved metal hooks and fibers interaction. There was no significant effect on lap shear and fracture toughness, as they depend on bend back behavior of the hooks. A bilinear traction-separation model was used to characterize mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness properties, and 4.5% variation was recorded when modeling and experimental values were compared.

Updated Available Drawdowns for Big Hill SPR Caverns - Model Including the Caprock Fault

This report updates the estimated values of the baseline available drawdowns for the caverns at the Big Hill storage facility, and an updated table listing the available drawdowns. An updated finite element numerical analysis model, which included a fault in the caprock layers, was constructed and the daily data of actual wellhead pressures and oil-brine interfaces was used. The number of available drawdowns for each of the Big Hill SPR caverns is estimated using the new model. All caverns are predicted to have five available drawdowns remaining from a geomechanical perspective. BH-101 and 105 have a region of concern at the floor edge and/or sloping floor, where tensile and dilatant stresses are predicted to occur during each workover. The tensile state is predicted to occur because of the geometries of the edge and floor. Therefore, geomechanical examination for two caverns would be recommended after a drawdown leach. The well integrity of each cavern is not investigated in this report. The estimates for the number of baseline available drawdowns are subject to change in the future as the knowledge of physical phenomena at the sites, and the further development of the models of geomechanical behavior at the sites, evolve over time.

Heterogeneous solute segregation suppresses strain localization in nanocrystalline Ag-Ni alloys

Solute segregation to individual grain boundaries is used by design to produce strong and stable nanocrystalline metallic alloys. Grain-boundary segregation, however, is known to cause adverse embrittlement effects from a strain-localization failure mechanism that imposes significant material limitations for structural applications. Here, using atomistic simulations, it is discovered that heterogeneous Ni segregation in nanocrystalline Ni-mixed Ag alloys dramatically shuts down localized shear bands during plastic deformation, while simultaneously increasing the tensile strength. Nanocrystalline Cu-mixed Ag metals are predicted to exhibit standard homogeneous Cu segregation and a tensile strength that saturates above a solute concentration of 8 at.% due to glass-like shear localization induced by grain boundaries. By contrast, it is found that heterogeneous Ni segregation in nanocrystalline Ag-Ni alloys forms solute-rich clusters along interfaces leading to strain delocalization at high strain and continuous strengthening at high solute concentrations up to 15 at.%. As a result, this study reveals the importance of heterogeneous versus homogeneous segregation behaviors on strain localization and points to a fundamentally new strategy to design failure-resistant nanostructured materials through grain boundary segregation engineering.

Temporal and Spatial Evolution of Non-Elastic Strain Accumulation in Stanstead Granite During Brittle Creep

Understanding the long-term behavior of brittle rocks requires fundamental consideration of time-dependent strain evolution and brittle creep processes. Previous studies have evaluated sub-critical crack growth during time-dependent deformation and damage evolution in brittle rocks; however, there is an incomplete knowledge of how damage evolves spatially and temporally within the body of intact rocks, where distributed regions of damage interact and coalesce during creep. This paper presents laboratory research focusing on evaluating brittle creep damage processes in Stanstead granite (SG) using 2-dimensional digital image correlation (2D-DIC). In the laboratory, the prismatic SG specimens were loaded beyond an estimated Crack Damage stress threshold (CD) level and then maintained a constant stress to initiate the creep process. DIC was used to characterize full-field spatiotemporal strain evolution, which was then interpreted in the context of local regions of “damage”, determined according to a strain-based criterion. Here, a method was proposed for identifying “existing” and “new” damage regions over specified intervals during the test, followed by spatial clustering of these regions to assess their spatiotemporal evolution. The clustering analysis results demonstrated the extension of existing damage regions was the main damage process during brittle creep, which is consistent with existing models of sub-critical crack growth. In addition, temporal analysis of tensile and shear strains on a point-by-point basis revealed both new damage formation and the strain concentration within existing damaged regions significantly contribute to overall specimen strain during primary creep. In contrast, during secondary creep, increases in specimen deformation are influenced by the accumulation of strains within already damaged regions.

Analysis of Deformation and Fracture Mechanisms in the Harvested High-Dose Baffle-Former Bolt with Stress-Corrosion Cracks Formed While in Service

This report presents the results of advanced mechanical testing conducted on miniature tensile specimens excised from an irradiated baffle-former bolt, a commercial pressurized water reactor component. The specimens were extracted from the midsection of the bolt shank, where the estimated damage dose reached 23 displacements per atom. The mechanical testing included the following tests: (1) conventional tensile testing at room temperature, augmented by digital image correlation (DIC) to enable noncontact strain measurements, and (2) in situ tensile testing within a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) instrument equipped with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) detectors to evaluate active deformation and fracture mechanisms. Additionally, SEM fractographic analysis revealed alterations in the fracture mechanism from a predominantly ductile fracture in nonirradiated steel to a mixed fracture mode (still dominating ductile and minor cleavage spots) in irradiated specimens derived from the baffle bolts. The findings indicate a complex strain localization behavior for in-service irradiated steel specimens. Beyond conventional necking at the macro scale and defect-free channel formation at the micro scale, DIC results identified the presence of deformation bands approximately 100 μm in width. These bands consist of chains of grains exhibiting elevated local strain levels and may be considered an intermediate or mesoscale level of strain localization. These bands become discernible near the yield stress as localized hot spots, areas of elevated strain, persisting throughout most of the experiment. The formation of mesoscale deformation bands as a strain localization mechanism may exacerbate the defect-free channel formation in irradiated materials, further promoting irradiation-assisted stress corrosion crack initiation.

Effect of Applied Stress on the Selective Oxidation of Alloy 600 Exposed to PWR Primary Water and Rhines Pack Environments

A mechanistic understanding of corrosion and oxidation processes is crucial to ensure long-term resistance to stress corrosion cracking of Ni-base structural alloys in pressurized water reactor (PWR) primary and secondary systems. Aqueous corrosion of Ni-base alloys under PWR primary water conditions was previously compared to gaseous oxidation with comparable oxygen potentials. However, those studies considered only stress-free conditions, which removes a critical parameter for understanding stress corrosion behaviors. A significant knowledge gap exists for the role of applied stresses on selective internal oxidation in gaseous environments. A micro-4-point-bend jig was designed to facilitate stress in a Rhines Pack set-up. Selective oxidation at different stress and strain conditions was investigated in a series of Rhines Pack experiments for Alloy 600. Focused ion beam milling enabled the extraction of site-specific specimens containing selected high-energy grain boundaries from tensile and compressive stress regions. Analytical transmission electron microscopy was employed to analyze the microstructure and chemical composition of the resulting oxides. Protective surface oxide films and selective intergranular oxides were observed at different conditions. The implications of these fundamental differences are discussed relative to intergranular attack and stress corrosion cracking mechanisms in PWR primary water.

Direct ink writing of shear exfoliated two-dimensional nanomaterial- elastomeric multifunctional nanocomposite

Direct ink writing (DIW) of polymer nanocomposites with high loadings of two-dimensional (2D) nanofillers (graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)) is challenging because of potential clogging, use of hazardous solvents, and agglomeration. Here, in this work, a shear exfoliation and sieving method to prepare DIW ink with high loading of nanofillers produced from low-cost bulk layered materials such as graphite and bulk hBN powder for successful DIW printing without the use of any solvents, binders, or plasticizers. The single-step exfoliation technique resulted in a composite with substantial layer reduction along the c-axis, as confirmed by SEM, TEM, XRD, and Raman analysis. Incorporating exfoliated graphene (40 wt%) increased viscosity by ∼6 orders of magnitude due to enhanced particle–matrix interactions, leading to pronounced yield stress behavior and a yield stress of approximately 1598 Pa, which enabled excellent shape retention during extrusion. Using the DIW technique, porous structures such as desalination membranes, self-sensing bone scaffolds, thermal management coating, and serpentine strain sensors were fabricated. When tested in a direct contact membrane distillation setup, the fabricated membrane demonstrated a promising permeate flux of 21.85 Lm −2 h −1 and a salt rejection of 74.3 %. The fabricated serpentine sensor exhibited stable signal variations under cyclic tensile loading, with a working range of 0–200 % strain and a maximum gauge factor of 43,735. A cell culture test using the printed bone scaffold demonstrated promising cell attachment and proliferation. The DIW printed hBN nanocomposite exhibited reversible shape change under heat, demonstrating potential 4D printing capability and efficient thermal management when exposed to high heat or flame.

Molecular models for creep in oriented polyethylene fibers

Highly oriented and crystalline polyetheylene (PE) fibers have a large failure stress under rapid tensile loading but exhibit significant creep at much smaller stresses that limits applications. A possible mechanism is slip of chains due to stress-enhanced, thermally activated nucleation of dislocations at chain ends in crystalline regions. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to parameterize a Frenkel–Kontorova model that provides analytic expressions for the limiting stress and activation energy for dislocation nucleation as a function of stress. Results from four commonly used hydrocarbon potentials are compared to show that the qualitative behavior is robust and estimate quantitative uncertainties. In all cases, the results can be described by an Eyring model with values of the zero-stress activation energy Ea0≈1.5 eV and activation volume V* ≈ 45 Å3 that are consistent with the experimental results for increasingly crystalline materials. The limiting yield stress is ∼8 GPa. These results suggest that activated dislocation nucleation at chain ends is an important mechanism for creep in highly oriented PE fibers.

Revealing Defect-Seeded and Interfacial Generation Mechanisms of Photoinduced Coherent Phonons with 4D Ultrafast Electron Microscopy

Ultrafast photoexcitation of coherent phonons is driven by an impulsive, collective displacement of constituent atoms from their average equilibrium lattice positions [1]. Models describing the generation of coherent acoustic modes typically invoke the creation of an anisotropic strain profile arising from the relatively instantaneous absorption of an ultrafast laser pulse [2]. If the skin depth is shallow relative to the specimen thickness, a steep tensile strain gradient perpendicular to the surface ($\frac{∂ε}{∂z}$) results. Initial relaxation occurs via rapid contraction of the surface layers followed by subsequent coherent oscillations of the lattice and launch of a train of coherent elastic strain waves [i.e., coherent acoustic phonons (CAPs)]. Macroscopically, responses are generally well-described by constitutive relations as gleaned from data gathered using ultrasonic methods or ultrafast spectroscopies. Furthermore, at the atomic to nanoscale level, individual lattice discontinuities and their impact on CAP behaviors can be modeled using multiscale methods [3,4]. Further, average unit-cell level responses on ultrafast timescales can be probed using femtosecond electron and X-ray scattering [5,6].

Inelastic neutron spectra of polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers

We present the vibrational spectra of polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers collected using inelastic neutron scattering. We ascertain the behavior of a broad range of vibrational spectra that are optically silent, and demonstrate a direct connection between these modes and thermomechanical properties of the fibers. We show directionally dependent coupling of hydrogen in the carbon fiber matrix, which is directly linked to mechanical properties. Further, we show hydrogen preferentially couples to the midband of the vibrational spectrum, and that there are higher overall mode populations in the traditional Raman D–G intervalley region, suggesting involvement of these modes in tensile strength reduction and transport properties.

High-rate strength response of tantalum from dynamic hole closure experiments

The science and engineering communities have significant interest in experimental platforms to evaluate and improve models for dynamic material deformation. While well-developed platforms exist, there are still gaps to fill for strain and strain rate conditions accessed during impact and other high-rate loading scenarios. To fill one such gap for strength measurements, a platform was recently developed that accesses high strain rate (≥ 10 5 /s) and large strain (≥ 50%) conditions by measuring the transient closure of a cylindrical hole using in situ x-ray imaging. In the work reported here, further refinement of the platform is performed to reduce the potential effects of porosity and anelasticity on the measurement. This helps us to isolate the strength effects that are the focus of the experiment. The updated experimental configuration employs a two-layer flyer design and elongated target to reduce the magnitude of the tensile excursions associated with rarefaction wave interactions. This allows for a more direct assessment of strength models commonly used for dynamic simulations of metals. Here we apply the new technique to well-characterized tantalum material, allowing for a robust connection to other experimental techniques. Deformation localization can be a concern in large strain experiments, and to help inform future use of the experimental platform, we use simulations with a sub-zone treatment of shear banding to explore potential localization behavior. Here we develop and utilize an experimental configuration with improved isolation of strength effects that can be applied to an expanded range of materials.

Characterization of Mechanical Performance of Composites Fabricated Using Innovative Carbon Fiber Wet Laid Process

Recent innovation in production of optimized nonwoven wet laid (WL) carbon fiber (CF) mats raised the question of optimal translation of the performance and isotropy into composites formed through these dry preforms. This work explores the mechanical behavior of composites produced from WL-CF mats in conjunction with the microstructure predicted through Object Oriented Finite Element Analysis (OOF). The mats used for the composites were prepared in two dispersion regimes using 25.4 mm long CF. The mixing regimes discussed in the author’s previous work, are identified as Method 1 for the traditional processing regime and Method 2 for the innovative regime that provided optimal nonwoven WL-CF mats. Composite panels from Method 2 mats showed a normalized tensile strength increase of 52% over those from Method 1 panels. Reproducibility analysis of composites made from Method 2 mats demonstrated a standard deviation of 2% in fiber weight content, 2% in tensile modulus and 9% in tensile strength, while composites made from Method 1 mats demonstrated a standard deviation of 5% in fiber weight content, 5% in tensile modulus and 17% in tensile strength. Systematic study of the microstructure and its analysis through OOF confirmed the isotropy translation of mats produced through method 2 to the composites. This study validated the hypothesis that optimal nonwoven mats lead to a well-balanced composite with optimal performance and that non-optimal nonwoven mats do not pack into a well-balanced composite.

Irradiation Testing of Additively Manufactured Materials for LWR Applications: Alloy 718 and 316L Stainless Steel

The objective of this NSUF Project is to assess the changes in irradiated additively manufactured (AM) material properties as compared to non-irradiated material. Type 316L stainless steel and Alloy 718 samples were produced using Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM) fabrication. Materials produced from this fabrication method have several potential applications within the nuclear industry as reactor internal repair parts, fuel debris resistant filters, or fuel spacers within existing light water reactors (LWRs). AM materials have been shown to achieve equivalent mechanical behavior in simulated reactor environments as compared to wrought materials, but have significantly more flexibility when it comes to unique design features. The increased component design flexibility makes these AM materials an attractive choice for both current LWR applications as well as for small modular reactor (SMR) designs. Prior to use of these materials in reactor fleet operation, the industry as a whole must evaluate the effects of irradiation on their material properties. Standard 0.4 inch thick Compact Tension specimens and SSJ3 type tensile bars were neutron irradiated at the Advanced Test Reactor to ~1 dpa for the purpose of performing a variety of mechanical tests in a range of simulated environments applicable to LWRs. For the ductile austenitic Type 316L stainless steel, the irradiated data will be used to confirm that the AM process produces materials with properties that are equivalent to wrought materials under testing conditions applicable to LWR operation. Transmission electron microscopy analysis was also performed in order to understand microstructural and microchemical changes induced in each material in response to neutron irradiation. If possible, data collected from these AM 316L samples will be used to remove fluence limits from specifications of ASME code cases for this alloy, which will give vendors much more flexibility in building future components.
