Diffusion of Hydrophilic to Hydrophobic Forms of Nile Red in Aqueous C 12 EO 10 Gels by Variable Area Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy

In this work, solute diffusion within lyotropic liquid crystal gels prepared from a series of water and decaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C 12 EO 10 ) mixtures was explored by variable area fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Aqueous C 12 EO 10 gels were prepared in concentrations ranging from 55:45 to 70:30 wt% of surfactant and water. Small angle X-ray scattering revealed that these gels comprise hexagonal mesophases of cylindrical micelles. Micelle spacing was found to decrease with increasing C 12 EO 10 concentration. Three different Nile red (NR) dyes were employed as model solutes and were separately doped into the gels at nanomolar levels. These include a hydrophilic form of NR incorporating an anionic sulfonate group (NRSO 3 - ), a hydrophobic form incorporating a fourteen-carbon alkane tail (NRC 14 ), and commercial NR as an intermediate case. FCS data acquired from the gels revealed that NRSO 3 - diffused primarily in 3D. Its diffusion coefficient exhibited a monotonic decrease with increasing gel concentration and micelle packing density, consistent with confinement of its motions as a result of its exclusion from the micelle cores. NRC 14 exhibited the smallest diffusion coefficient, most likely due to its larger size and enhanced interactions with the micelle cores. NR yielded an intermediate diffusion coefficient and the most anomalous behavior of the three dyes, attributable to its facile partitioning between core and corona regions, and greater participation by 1D diffusion. The results of these studies afford an improved understanding of molecular mass transport through soft-matter nanomaterials like those being developed for use in drug delivery and membrane based chemical separations.

Determination of Ce 3+ , Co 2+ , Mn 2+ and Fe 2+ diffusion coefficients in Nafion® membrane

Concentration gradient diffusion coefficients for Ce 3+ , Co 2+ , Mn 2+ and Fe 2+ cations are determined in Nafion®211 membranes over a wide range of environmental conditions. Measurements are made using finite-width cation-rich bands introduced to NR211 via a hot-pressing procedure. A robust method of accurate diffusion coefficient determination of the finite-width deposits is developed using a Fick's second law of diffusion solution for one-dimensional systems. The transition metal dications are found to have nearly identical NR211 diffusion coefficients under water saturated conditions over the 22–80 °C range. The powerful chemical mitigant, Ce 3+ , is about one-half as diffusive as the dications under identical conditions. Derived diffusion coefficients for Ce 3+ and Co 2+ are found to be independent of initial cation concentration over the range of 12.5–70 mol% exchange level. The diffusion behavior of Ce 3+ in 80 °C liquid water and saturated water vapor is identical. The diffusion coefficients of Ce 3+ are shown to have a strong dependence on membrane hydration level varying by a factor of more than 30 over the range of 95 to 40% RH. Finally, the implications of these new diffusion findings are applied to a discussion of potential guidelines for the development of highly durable fuel cell systems, which employ mobile metal cations as lifetime-extending redox stabilizers.

Dynamics of Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions: Challenges for Simulations

This Perspective article focuses on recent simulation work on the dynamics of aqueous electrolytes. It is well-established that full-charge, nonpolarizable models for water and ions generally predict solution dynamics that are too slow in comparison to experiments. Models with reduced (scaled) charges do better for solution diffusivities and viscosities but encounter issues describing other dynamic phenomena such as nucleation rates of crystals from solution. Polarizable models show promise, especially when appropriately parametrized, but may still miss important physical effects such as charge transfer. First-principles calculations are starting to emerge for these properties that are in principle able to capture polarization, charge transfer, and chemical transformations in solution. Finally, while direct ab initio simulations are still too slow for simulations of large systems over long time scales, machine-learning models trained on appropriate first-principles data show significant promise for accurate and transferable modeling of electrolyte solution dynamics.

Iodine Capture by Ag-Loaded Solid Sorbents Followed by Ag Recycling and Iodine Immobilization: An End-to-End Process

Here, this article demonstrates the complete process of I 2(g) capture using Ag-exchanged faujasite (AgX) and Ag-exchanged mordenite (AgZ) zeolite sorbents, the recovery of Ag for recyclability of iodine capture, and the immobilization of iodide (from the elution process) into an iodosodalite waste form, which is chemically and environmentally stable. The gaseous iodine, I 2(g) , was captured in the AgX via chemisorption by Ag and converted to AgI within the aluminosilicate zeolite frameworks. The elution reaction in Na 2 S resulted in the precipitation of Ag 2 S and dissolution of I – and Na + into the aqueous solution, where powdered sorbent showed higher conversion efficiency than the granular form, which is attributed to Na 2 S-solution diffusion limitations in the granules. The Ag 2 S-containing aluminosilicate precipitates were filtered out of the solution, and the filtrate (aqueous solution) was used to synthesize iodosodalite to immobilize iodide. The iodine capture using the recovered Ag 2 S-containing sorbents shows equivalent iodine loadings to the AgX starting material of Q e = 0.355 g/g for powdered material and 0.255 g/g for granular material, demonstrating the potential recycling of Ag for iodine capture as Ag 2 S-based sorbents.

Coarsening in binary solid-liquid mixtures

A theory of Ostwald ripening has been developed for a solid-liquid mixture cosisting of a low volume fraction array of spherical solid particles in a liquid wherein the coarsening process proceeds via the transport of both heat and mass. It is found that the simultaneous transport of heat and mass during ripening does not alter the exponents of the temporal power laws governing the ripening process from their classical values but does alter the amplitudes of these power laws. The growth rate of the cube of the average particle radius, the rate constant, is found to depend both on the alloy solute concentration and the ratio of the thermal to solutal diffusivities. In most metallic systems, a large decrease in the rate constant can be expected with small additions of solute to a pure metal. Possible extensions of this theory to the analogous problem of ripening in isothermal ternary alloys are also discussed.

Growth of crystals from solutions in low gravity (A0139A)

The objective of the low gravity crystal growth experiments is to develop a novel solute diffusion method for growing single crystals. The experiments will utilize specially designed reactors with three or more compartments separated by valves to keep the reactant solutions and solvent separated until the apparatus reaches low gravity. There will be a mechanism for opening the valves automatically to initiate the diffusion and growth processes. The reactant reservoirs will be large enough to take advantage of the time provided by the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) flight. An array of several reactors will be mounted in a 12-in.-deep end center tray located on the Earth-facing end of the LDEF. Several reactors operating simultaneously will allow experimentation with more than one crystal growth system and/or variations of conditions for each. The reactors will be enclosed in a vacuum tight container and will be surrounded by thermal insulation. The temperature (approximately 35 deg C) will be regulated and any departures from the desired temperature will be recorded. Power requirements will be provided by LiSO2 batteries.

Poly/vinyl alcohol/ membranes for reverse osmosis

A description is presented of the results of studies of the water and salt transport properties of PVA membranes, taking into account radiation crosslinked PVA membranes, diffusive salt permeability through PVA membranes, and heat treated PVA membranes. The experimental findings support an occurrence of independent water, and salt permeation processes. It is suggested that the salt permeation is governed by a solution-diffusion transport mechanism. The preparation of thin skinned, asymmetric PVA membranes is also discussed. The employed method has a certain similarity to the classical phase inversion method, which is widely applied in the casting of asymmetric reverse osmosis membranes. Instead of using a gelling bath composed of a nonsolvent for the membrane material and miscible with the solvent from which the membrane is cast, a 'complexing' bath is used, which is a solution of a complexing agent in water.

Graph-theoretical KMC Framework for Calculating Effective Diffusivity in TPBAR Components: Effective Diffusivity of Tritium in α-Zr Grain Boundaries

We report the development of a computer simulation tool based on the Graph-theoretical kinetic Monte Carlo (GT-KMC) approach that can be used to simulate diffusion and derive effective diffusivity of species in complex structures of TPBAR components. The GT-KMC framework was implemented in AKSOME, an on-lattice self-learning kinetic Monte Carlo tool developed at PNNL and was previously used to study solute diffusion in metal alloys. This newly developed tool will be helpful in simulating atom diffusion and extracting their effective diffusivities in grain boundaries and interfaces in various TPBAR components. Once benchmarked, the tool will be used to simulate the diffusion of tritium (hydrogen) along grain boundaries in α-Zr using the activation energy barrier data previously obtained from Density Functional Theory calculations.

Comparison of vapour pressure osmometry, freezing point osmometry and direct membrane osmometry for determining the osmotic pressure of concentrated solutions

Osmometry is the analytical method of measuring osmotic pressure ($π$) and related colligative properties. Accurately measuring $π$ is essential for applications that use osmosis, including drug delivery systems and water filtration methods such as forward osmosis. The three most common forms of directly or indirectly measuring $π$ are vapour pressure osmometry (VPO), freezing point osmometry (FPO), and direct membrane osmometry (DMO). In this report, the performance of VPO, FPO, and DMO are compared for various aqueous solutions, including small molecule and polymer solutes, and potentially more difficult samples such as concentrated, carbonated, or viscous solutions. Furthermore, potential problems with each of the three methods are examined. Good practices can avoid inaccuracies in DMO due to external concentration polarization and solute diffusion through the membrane. Similarly, it is important to be aware of and avoid weaknesses in VPO and FPO in order to obtain reliable results. Even with care, however, the three methods still give different values of $π$ for concentrated aqueous solutions.

A Monte Carlo Thermal Radiative Transfer Solver with Nonlinear Elimination

Here in this paper, we present a new Monte Carlo method for solving the thermal radiative transfer (TRT) equations via the method of nonlinear elimination (NLEM). This method is inspired by the previous application of NLEM to thermal radiation diffusion. Our approach, called diffusion accelerated Implicit Monte Carlo (DAIMC), is a hybrid technique which combines a Monte Carlo method for solving a purely-absorbing transport equation and a diffusion solution that accounts for effective scattering, or absorption–reemission. The method aims to improve the implicitness of the traditional implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) method. We derive DAIMC generally for 3D Cartesian geometries, but in this paper, we present results and analysis in 1D slab geometry. These preliminary results indicate that DAIMC implementations may provide more accurate and robust TRT solutions than IMC in certain test problems.

Directional Solidification of a Binary Alloy into a Cellular Convective Flow: Localized Morphologies

A steady, two dimensional cellular convection modifies the morphological instability of a binary alloy that undergoes directional solidification. When the convection wavelength is far longer than that of the morphological cells, the behavior of the moving front is described by a slow, spatial-temporal dynamics obtained through a multiple-scale analysis. The resulting system has a "parametric-excitation" structure in space, with complex parameters characterizing the interactions between flow, solute diffusion, and rejection. The convection stabilizes two dimensional disturbances oriented with the flow, but destabilizes three dimensional disturbances in general. When the flow is weak, the morphological instability behaves incommensurably to the flow wavelength, but becomes quantized and forced to fit into the flow-box as the flow gets stronger. At large flow magnitudes the instability is localized, confined in narrow envelopes with cells traveling with the flow. In this case the solutions are discrete eigenstates in an unbounded space. Their stability boundary and asymptotics are obtained by the WKB analysis.

Kinetics of Diffusional Droplet Growth in a Liquid/Liquid Two-Phase System

We address the problem of diffusional interactions in a finite sized cluster of spherical particles for volume fractions, V(sub v) in the range 0-0.01. We determined the quasi-static monopole diffusion solution for n particles distributed at random in a continuous matrix. A global mass conservation condition is employed, obviating the need for any external boundary condition. The numerical results provide the instantaneous (snapshot) growth or shrinkage rate of each particle, precluding the need for extensive time-dependent computations. The close connection between these snapshot results and the coarsegrained kinetic constants are discussed. A square-root dependence of the deviations of the rate constants from their zero volume fraction value is found for the higher V(sub v) investigated. This behavior is consistent with predictions from diffusion Debye-Huckel screening theory. By contrast, a cube-root dependence, reported in earlier numerical studies, is found for the lower V(sub v) investigated. The roll-over region of the volume fraction where the two asymptotics merge depends on the number of particles, n, alone. A theoretical estimate for the roll-over point predicts that the corresponding V(sub v) varies as n(sup -2), in good agreement with the numerical results.

Salt and ion transport in a series of crosslinked AMPS/PEGDA hydrogel membranes

Salt permeability and ionic conductivity are critical properties for membranes in water purification and energy applications. Both properties depend on individual ion sorption and diffusion coefficients, which are significantly influenced by polymer chemical and physical parameters such as fixed charge concentration and membrane water content. However, systematic studies connecting polymer structure to ion transport properties are still lacking. In this study, a series of uncharged and charged membranes were synthesized using poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) as a cross-linker and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) as a charged monomer. Membrane fixed charge concentration and water uptake were systematically varied by adjusting AMPS content in the pre-polymerization mixture. Salt sorption and permeability coefficients and ionic conductivity of these membranes were measured as a function of NaCl solution concentration (0.01–1 M). Combining the solution-diffusion model and Nernst-Planck equation, individual ion diffusion coefficients were calculated. Experimental Na + diffusion coefficients for all materials were well described by the Mackie and Meares tortuosity model, highlighting the strong influence of water content on ion diffusivity in both uncharged and charged polymers. Model predictions for Cl – diffusion coefficients agree reasonably well with experimental values, with some deviations occurring in more highly charged membranes. Finally, this discrepancy might result from interactions not captured by the Mackie and Meares model (e.g., fixed charge-ion interactions).

Solute effects upon dislocation motion and recovery in Mg alloys (Final Report)

The objective the research was to develop a firmer understanding of the interactions between substitutional solute atoms and dislocations within Mg alloys. These interactions govern the absolute and relative mobilities of various types of dislocations in Mg (e.g., basal < a>, non-basal < a>, and pyramidal < c+a>). Furthermore, they have an impact on dislocation recovery processes (e.g., cross-glide, climb, rearrangement, and annihilation). Ultimately, solute-dislocation interactions strongly impact a) strain hardening, b) strain rate sensitivity, c) plastic anisotropy of textured polycrystals, d) texture evolution, e) dislocation substructures evolution, and even f) recrystallization behavior. It is broadly known that Mg alloys exhibit poor low temperature formability. Since formability is largely governed by properties (a) – (c) in this list, it is critical to develop a better understanding of solute-dislocation interactions, if one hopes to improve the situation. While the theory of static solute strengthening is well developed, especially for alloys with face centered cubic (FCC) crystal structures, there are outstanding questions related to applications to hexagonal close packed (HCP) crystal structures and dynamic strain aging (DSA) in materials of various structures. DSA has far-reaching implications for metal formability and, in the case of Mg alloys, appears to correlate with the so-called rare-earth (RE) texture which has been shown to benefit formability. The Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect, and associated negative strain rate sensitivity, occur at higher temperatures (>100℃) in Mg alloys as compared with similar Al alloys, even though they have similar melting points and solute diffusivities. Our preliminary research has shown that modern, physics-based models of DSA can be tuned to describe the behavior of Mg alloys if a rather higher activation enthalpy is assumed for cross-core diffusivity. While this partially explains the delay in DSA to higher temperatures, it is also hypothesized that this delay is due in part to the intrinsically more thermally activated (rate sensitive) nature of non-basal < a> dislocation motion which is required for macroscopic flow of Mg alloys, whereas octahedral slip in many FCC metals like aluminum is essentially athermal at room temperature. It was originally proposed to employ a combination of in-situ diffraction-based experimental characterization to validate existing theory. It was envisioned to perform in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to assess individual dislocation behavior and in-situ high-energy X-ray diffraction (HEXRD) techniques which were showing great promise for elucidating collective dislocation behavior, 2 including recovery, especially if the contributions to various forms of diffraction peak broadening (𝜂𝜂,𝜔𝜔,and 2𝜃𝜃) can be effectively integrated. Finally, it was envisioned to perform discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) modeling approaches to aide in the interpretation of both TEM and HEXRD experiments. In the end, mechanical tests were performed on more complex Mg alloys which exhibited evidence of dynamic strain aging, and this led to the establishment of another project. Mechanical test data obtained at McMaster University served as the basis of an assessment of the applicability of Bazinski’s “stress equivalence” theory of solute strengthening to polycrystalline alloys of Mg. Although we did not succeed in applying the approach to Mg alloys, we did develop expertise with the HEXRD approach using a BCC, β-Ti alloy and demonstrated numerous new capabilities that may be applied to any polycrystalline material in collaboration with researchers at CHESS and around the world: (1) assessment of details of the elastoplastic transition (yielding) using a combination of HEXRD and full-field polycrystal plasticity modeling, (2) the first-ever experimental observation of strong stress rotation within the individual grains of a polycrystalline material, and (3) a comprehensive analysis of the grain-level dislocation density evolution based upon diffraction peak broadening along 𝜂𝜂,𝜔𝜔,and 2𝜃𝜃 directions. This final aspect allowed us to confirm that dislocations were gliding on multiple plane types and not restricted to {110} type planes, and it also provided clues as to why some grains were unloading during straining, with surprising implications for our understanding of the effects of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs). Finally, graduate student, Mohammed Shabana, developed a MATLAB code which confirmed the conclusions of Prof. Catalin Picu (Rensallear Polytechnic Institute, RPI) regarding the effect of solute-trapped, forest dislocations on the breaking stress of Lomer lock junctions in FCC metal alloys. He applied the same anisotropic line-tension model to a variety of dislocation junction configurations and found an inconsistency in the widely cited results of Dupuy and Fivel regarding the Hirth Lock, and he outlined an approach to extend these finding to HCP Mg alloys that we are still pursuing with discretionary fundings at UVA.

Precipitation-site competition in duplex stainless steels: Cu clusters vs spinodal decomposition interfaces as nucleation sites during thermal aging

Competing microstructural evolution mechanisms can exist simultaneously when duplex stainless steels are operating for several decades in a high temperature service environment. Such competition between different microstructural evolution pathways can be difficult to ascertain using simple model alloy systems necessitating detailed structural and compositional analysis of phase transformation mechanisms in complex alloys Thus, in this study duplex stainless steels with complex but well understood chemistries were used to investigate the relative importance of different heterogeneous nucleation sites – specifically spinodal decomposition and Cu clustering – on precipitation of Ni-Si-Mn particles during long term thermal aging. Precipitation of Ni-Si-Mn particles in duplex stainless steels and ferritic steels during thermal aging and irradiation is known to have profound effect on mechanical properties. Using duplex stainless steels with custom modified compositions along with atom probe tomography characterization and first-passage kinetic Monte Carlo (FPKMC) simulations it is revealed that while the interface between Cr and Fe formed during spinodal decomposition can be a pathway for diffusion of Ni, Si, Mn, and Cu, it is not a site that encourages precipitation of Ni-Si-Mn rich particles. Instead, the presence of a higher concentration of Cu in these steels leads to formation of small Cu clusters with high energy interfaces that act as nucleation sites for Ni-Si-Mn particles because of its strong interaction particularly with Ni increasing the chemical driving force for precipitation. These results will help inform predictive models for the use of duplex stainless steels and other precipitation-hardened alloys for extended operation at high temperatures.

Extensive nanoprecipitate morphology transformation in a nanostructured ferritic alloy due to extreme thermomechanical processing

Nano-oxide precipitates in a modern nanostructured ferritic alloy were investigated after extreme thermomechanical processing into a thin-walled tube geometry. It was found that the morphology of the precipitates changed from spherical to rod-shaped, with some increasing to aspect ratios of up to 9, despite the precipitate volume fraction (0.3%) and number density (> 10 23 m -3 ) of precipitates remaining unchanged. High-resolution electron microscopy showed that the precipitates likely remained coherent with the Fe-matrix, while atom probe tomography confirmed that the precipitate compositions remained unaffected by the transformation. The morphological change was attributed to the shearable nature of the (Y,Ti,O)-rich precipitates, indicating they should be considered as “soft” obstacles to dislocation motion. The elongation was most pronounced in larger (>5 nm) precipitates, which may be caused by preferential dissolution of the smallest (1–3 nm) precipitates followed by the competition between re-precipitation and solute diffusion to larger precipitates during recovery heat treatments.

Uncovering grain and subgrain microstructure at the scale of additive manufacturing melt tracks with a scalable cellular automaton solidification model

Metal additive manufacturing, characterized by rapid solidification, yields refined grains with a distinctive cellular subgrain microstructure that plays a pivotal role in determining material properties. Due to the significant computational expense demanded to simulate the required physics with submicron spatial resolution, their numerical simulations have been limited to proof-of-concept studies to either 2D or small subregions of a melt pool. In this study, an open-source, scalable, solidification code, muMatScale, based on the cellular automaton method, has been developed to predict the grain and the underlying subgrain microstructure over an entire melt pool. The model incorporates flexible parallelization schemes, utilizing MPI and OpenMP GPU Offloading, in addition to appropriate multi-physics specific to non-equilibrium rapid solidification in AM. The impact of nucleation parameters on grain microstructures was investigated with a focus on grain size variations and morphology transitions. With selected nucleation parameters, the simulation predicted the grain size, subgrain morphology, crystallographic orientation, and microsegregation aligned with experimental measurements. The model demonstrates that epitaxial grain growth is a dominant factor at the melt pool boundary, influencing grain size variation under different grain sizes in the build plate while maintaining consistent primary dendrite arm spacing under identical thermal conditions. Here, the highly efficient numerical model enables large-scale simulations with a spatial resolution of 100 nm or less, unveiling unprecedented insights into thermal and solutal diffusion driven grain growth, and the subgrains with microsegregation within grains in 3D across scales. muMatScale will enable the linking of submicron length-scale microstructure to part-level material behavior by investigating fundamental solidification problems at the intercellular scale in many-track and many-layer builds.

On the thermal coarsening and transformation of nanoscale oxide inclusions in 316L stainless steel manufactured by laser powder bed fusion and its influence on impact toughness

The thermal evolution of nanoscale oxide inclusions in 316L stainless steel (SS) manufactured by laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing (AM) was explored. The size, chemical composition, morphology, and distribution of the oxides were characterized as the function of heat treatment conditions. The study revealed the mechanistic driving force of the rapid oxide coarsening during recrystallization. Ostwald ripening governs oxide coarsening. The active grain boundary-oxide interaction at the early stage of recrystallization accelerated oxide coarsening via enhanced solute diffusion along grain boundaries. Pipe diffusion along dislocation cellular boundaries has a negligible contribution to oxide coarsening. At high temperatures (T> 1065 °C), although lattice diffusion primarily controlled the oxide growth, the contribution from the grain-boundary diffusion was necessary. The transformation from MnSiO 3 to CrMn 2 O 4 took place in the un-recrystallized grains but was not observed when recrystallization started. The interaction of grain boundary and oxides during recrystallization resulted in a high fraction of oxides accumulated at grain boundaries. While oxide coarsening does not significantly alter the toughness value, grain-boundary oxides promote microvoid formation and intergranular fracture under Charpy impact in the recrystallized AM 316L SS.
