Cavity evolution and void swelling in dual ion irradiated tempered martensitic steels

Microstructural evolutions in two variants of the F82H 8 wt%Cr tempered martensitic steel under dual (He + plus Fe 3+ ) ion irradiations at 500 °C have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy. Emphasis is on understanding the combined effects of displacements per atom (dpa) and the helium/dpa ratio (He/dpa) on cavity evolution and void swelling (f v ). The dual ion database includes 231 alloy-dpa-He/dpa conditions for irradiations up to ~ 82 dpa and 3700 appm helium. Here, we hypothesize that the large “scatter” observed in the f v data is primarily due to local microstructural variations, especially those that shield regions at shallower depths from the effects of injected interstitial atoms, which would otherwise reduce f v . More generally, our hypothesis is that the highest f v data, at a specified dpa and He/dpa, provides the most appropriate estimate of swelling for fusion neutron irradiation conditions. The dose dependence of f v can be described by an incubation dpa i , marking the onset of significant void growth, and a post-incubation swelling rate, f v ’ = Δf v /Δdpa. Both dpa i and f v ’ decrease with increasing He/dpa. The f v ’ data are quantitatively consistent with a simple model for defect partitioning between evolving bubble, void, and dislocation sinks strengths and biases. Most notably, the model correctly predicts both the incubation dpa i , and the subsequent f v ’, in spite of the fact that they reflect somewhat different physics. Our analysis also suggests that defect recombination is modest at 500 °C. Along with other considerations, this supports the hypothesis that, even at high dpa rates, dual ion irradiations can be used to reasonably emulate void nucleation and growth for a range of fusion-relevant neutron irradiation service conditions. A companion paper incorporates the results of this study in a reduced-order, data-driven void swelling model.

Selective patterning of out-of-plane piezoelectricity in MoTe 2 via focused ion beam

Two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have a strain-sensitive nature and can only exhibit in-plane piezoelectricity, owing to their in-plane inversion symmetry breaking, which limits their practical applications for vertical stimulations. Here, we demonstrated the capability of focused ion beams to create out-of-plane piezoelectricity on multi-layered MoTe 2 . We utilized a focused helium ion beam to selectively pattern the out-of-plane piezoelectricity via defect engineering in a layered MoTe 2 flake. The generated out-of-plane piezoelectricity in the desired area was quantitatively examined using atomic force microscopy, and ion beam irradiation-induced defect formation that gave rise to inversion symmetry breaking was confirmed. These results indicated that the out-of-plane piezoelectricity can be selectively patterned through a focused helium ion beam, and it is expected that this approach can also be applied to other classes of TMDs and can expand the application fields of TMD-based devices.

Two-photon double photoionization of atomic Mg by ultrashort pulses: Variation of angular distributions with pulse length

We investigate the two-photon double ionization of atomic magnesium induced by ultrashort pulses. Though the initial and final state symmetries are comparable to the same process in helium, in stark contrast the range of photon energies for which nonsequential ionization is the only open pathway is narrow (less than 1 eV) in magnesium. Thus several sequential ionization pathways feature heavily in these processes. Nonetheless, it is found that for pulse durations between 0.25 and 2.0 fentoseconds, the joint angular dependence of the ejected electrons can depend sensitively on pulse length, varying between the strictly back-to-back ejection characteristic of nonsequential ionization to other distributions. The significance of excited-state correlating configurations in representing the initial state of magnesium is discussed in the light of their consequences for the resulting angular distributions at photon energies where sequential ionization can access intermediate states that lie nearby in energy, particularly for longer pulses.

Unraveling the Early-Stage Ordering of Krypton Solid Bubbles in Molybdenum: A Multimodal Study

Self-organization of defects such as fission gas bubbles in materials can lead to high inventory capacity for fission gas storage and help mitigate swelling caused by fission gases in nuclear fuel materials under radiation in nuclear reactors. Here, we report the physical mechanism of self-organization of krypton (Kr) gas bubbles in molybdenum (Mo) under ion implantation. The ion fluence and temperature-dependent formation of Kr solid bubble superlattice (SBS) in Mo were investigated by using both synchrotron-based small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Early stage self-organization of gas bubbles is observed at a fluence of 2.5 × 10 16 ions/cm 2 at temperatures of 300–400 °C. The bubble lattice constant increases with increasing implantation temperature from 300 to 400 °C. Both experiments and atomic kinetic Monte Carlo modeling indicate that the Kr solid bubbles are weakly ordered in comparison to previously studied helium (He) gas bubble superlattice (GBS) while the lattice constant are relatively smaller for Kr SBS compared to that of He GBS. The irradiation conditions suggest that spinodal decomposition, which is a form of phase separation, probably precedes gas bubble ordering in Mo. Altogether, our work sheds light on the formation mechanism of noble gas superlattice toward the development of radiation-tolerant materials which are important for the design of advanced nuclear reactors.

Two-electron interference in two-photon attosecond double ionization of neon

The pump-probe experiments enabled by x-ray free-electron lasers (XFEL) will allow us to directly observe correlated electronic motion with attosecond time resolution by detecting photoelectron pairs in coincidence. In helium, the transition between the nonsequential and sequential regime in two-photon double ionization (TPDI) is well explained by a virtual-sequential model. Much less is known, however, about the TPDI process in more complex atoms. Recently, we extended the virtual-sequential model to arbitrary light pulses [Chattopadhyay Phys. Rev. A 108, 013114 (2023)]. This extension employs multichannel scattering states for the single ionization of both the neutral and the ionized target, which we initially applied to helium. In the present study, we show that our extended virtual-sequential model reproduces the qualitative features of the angularly integrated observables with available experimental results for neon, a considerably more complex target. We observe an intriguing feature of inverted two-particle interference in the joint-energy distribution of Ne compared to He. Finally, this phenomenon, attributable to the presence of a final doubly ionized state with triplet symmetry coupled to the two photoelectrons, should be observable with current experimental technologies.

The impact of helium on plasma-driven hydrogen permeation and implications for direct internal recycling in the fusion fuel cycle

Abstract Metal foil pumps (MFPs) are the leading technology for direct internal recycling (DIR) of hydrogen isotopes from the plasma exhaust in future fusion plants. MFPs rely on the concept of superpermeation, where superthermal H atoms directly absorb into the metal foil, rapidly diffuse, and desorb downstream. To date, studies of superpermeation have predominantly employed either pure hydrogen or in some cases trace levels of impurities. The plasma exhaust is expected to contain just ∼1% helium, but in DIR the source gas would be enriched in helium as hydrogen isotopes are extracted. In this work, we explore the impact of helium on hydrogen superpermeation at low temperature (75 °C–200 °C) using Pd-based foils. To first order, the flux scaled linearly with the hydrogen mole fraction. Stable permeation was observed until the helium fraction reached ∼80%, where the flux began to decline slowly with time. In addition, short term (1–5 min) exposure to pure helium plasma significantly attenuated subsequent hydrogen plasma permeation, and the degree was more dramatic at elevated temperature. This attenuation was correlated with He retention in the foils, which was detected by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry at low levels (<0.1 at. %) and limited to the near surface (<10 nm). Similar trends were observed among all alloys (Pd, PdAg, PdCu), and the foils were restored to full performance with an Ar + sputter clean. The potential for helium plasma exposure to impact MFP performance under these conditions has not been previously reported, and these findings have significant implications to the design and implementation of practical DIR systems.

Molecular-Dynamics Analysis of the Mechanical Behavior of Plasma-Facing Tungsten

We report a systematic computational analysis of the mechanical behavior of plasma-facing component (PFC) tungsten focusing on the impact of void and helium (He) bubble defects on the mechanical response beyond the elastic regime. Specifically, we explore the effects of porosity and He atomic fraction on the mechanical properties and structural response of PFC tungsten, at varying temperature and bubble size. We find that the Young modulus of defective tungsten undergoes substantial softening that follows an exponential scaling relation as a function of matrix porosity and He atomic content. Beyond the elastic regime, our high strain rate simulations reveal that the presence of nanoscale spherical defects (empty voids and He bubbles) reduces the yield strength of tungsten in a monotonically decreasing fashion, obeying an exponential scaling relation as a function of tungsten matrix porosity and He concentration. Our detailed analysis of the structural response of PFC tungsten near the yield point reveals that yielding is initiated by emission of dislocation loops from bubble/matrix interfaces, mainly 1/2<111> shear loops, followed by gliding and growth of these loops and reactions to form <100> dislocations. Furthermore, dislocation gliding on the <111>{211} twin systems nucleates 1/6<111> twin regions in the tungsten matrix. These dynamical processes reduce the stress in the matrix substantially. Subsequent dislocation interactions and depletion of the twin phases via nucleation and propagation of detwinning partials lead the tungsten matrix to a next deformation stage characterized by stress increase during applied straining. Furthermore, our structural analysis reveals that the depletion of twin boundaries (areal defects) is strongly impacted by the density of He bubbles at higher porosities. After the initial stress relief upon yielding, increase in the dislocation density in conjunction with decrease in the areal defect density facilitates the initiation of dislocation-driven deformation mechanisms in the PFC crystal.

Signatures and detection prospects for sub-GeV dark matter with superfluid helium

We explore the possibility of using superfluid helium for direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter (DM). We discuss the relevant phenomenology resulting from the scattering of an incident dark matter particle on a Helium nucleus. Rather than directly exciting quasi-particles, DM in this mass range will interact with a single He atom, triggering an atomic cascade which eventually also includes emission and thermalization of quasi-particles. We present in detail the analytical framework needed for modeling these processes and determining the resulting flux of quasi-particles. We propose a novel method for detecting this flux with modern force-sensitive devices, such as nanoelectro-mechanical system (NEMS) oscillators, and derive the sensitivity projections for a generic sub-GeV DM detection experiment using such sensors.

Origin of the multiphoton-regime harmonic-generation plateau structure

A physical interpretation is provided for the formation of the multiphoton-regime plateau feature in the spectra of nonlinear and correlated process of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) of two-active-electron atoms interacting with an intense linearly polarized laser field. While in the strong-field tunneling regime the plateau feature is well known to be due to rescattering effects of the freed electron, its counterpart in the multiphoton regime is due to atomic resonance effects involving both singly excited states and doubly excited states. Here, we propose a strategy to uncover which kind of these states are responsible for this phenomenon. By studying the sensitivity of HHG to the initial state in helium, in this work we show that this multiphoton-regime plateau structure mostly originates from singly excited states.

Multi-crystal native-SAD phasing at 5 keV with a helium environment

De novo structure determination from single-wavelength anomalous diffraction using native sulfur or phosphorus in biomolecules (native-SAD) is an appealing method to mitigate the labor-intensive production of heavy-atom derivatives and selenomethionyl substitutions. The native-SAD method is particularly attractive for membrane proteins, which are difficult to produce and often recalcitrant to grow into decent-sized crystals. Native-SAD uses lower-energy X-rays to enhance anomalous signals from sulfur or phosphorus. However, at lower energies, the scattering and absorption of air contribute to the background noise, reduce the signals and are thus adverse to native-SAD phasing. We have previously demonstrated native-SAD phasing at an energy of 5 keV in air at the NSLS-II FMX beamline. Here, the use of a helium path developed to reduce both the noise from background scattering and the air absorption of the diffracted X-ray beam are described. The helium path was used for collection of anomalous diffraction data at 5 keV for two proteins: thaumatin and the membrane protein TehA. Although anomalous signals from each individual crystal are very weak, robust anomalous signals are obtained from data assembled from micrometre-sized crystals. The thaumatin structure was determined from 15 microcrystals and the TehA structure from 18 microcrystals. These results demonstrate the usefulness of a helium environment in support of native-SAD phasing at 5 keV.

Comparison of atomized mass and crater volume in laser ablation

The extent and dynamics of laser ablation are typically studied using crater imaging or by invoking the relationship between atomic emission and the mass removed. The former is a static view of a dynamic process and requires the accumulation of multiple shots in one location. The latter is complex and not absolute without calibration of the optical system with a standard of spectral radiance. We measure the mass of the atomized plume by laser atomic-absorption spectroscopy at 2 µs without external mass calibration; mass uncertainty in laser-ablation atomic absorption spectroscopy (LA-AAS) results from uncertainties in line area fitting, tabulated oscillator strengths, and partition functions as well as a <10% underrepresentation of the mass due to treating the plasma as a single thermodynamic equilibrium. The LA-AAS-measured mass pertains to the atoms in the probed charge states and does not include condensed or molecular species. The ablation efficiency at 300 mbar of helium varies significantly between the two focusing conditions used. A comparison of crater-derived masses and LA-AAS masses suggests that more defocused ablation may result in significant redeposition of material in the crater, distorting the conclusions from drilling studies and crater imaging. More focused ablation conditions result in crater-derived masses that exceed those measured with LA-AAS and suggest melt expulsion or phase explosion.

Helium Bubble Growth and Retention Characteristics in Aging Palladium Tritide

The helium-related characteristics of aged palladium tritide, including tritium loss, the formation of He bubbles from tritium decay-induced He atoms, and He thermal desorption behavior are computed using a continuum model of bubble evolution that incorporates the log-normal bubble spacing distribution deduced from 3 He nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. This spacing distribution produces significant differences between mean (expectation) values of the bubble size and pressure and the average (median) values of these aging characteristics obtained by a previous calculation. The new calculations find much of the He is retained in a large quantity of smaller bubbles with higher bubble pressures, improving the overall stability of the bubbles and extending the age of He retention. By contrast, the integrated tritide material characteristics of swelling and tritium pressure are found relatively insensitive to details of the bubble spacing distribution. Inter-bubble fracture is predicted to begin with small, closely-spaced bubbles and progress to include larger bubbles near the onset of rapid He release. The critical concentration for this onset increases almost linearly with material tensile strength and decreases with shear modulus. Release of He from the aging solid is modeled as a growing network of fractured inter-bubble ligaments. For small particle or small grain material, the physical size of the fracture cluster, relative to the material dimensions, becomes important. In contrast with normal aging, inter-bubble fracture occurring during thermal desorption appears to begin with large, widely-spaced bubbles, indicating elevated temperature techniques may be of limited use for evaluating development of the bubble fracture network.

Proceedings for the Workshop on Applied Nuclear Data Activities 2024

The Workshop for Applied Nuclear Data Activities (WANDA) is designed to increase communication among nuclear data (ND) users in multidisciplinary federal programs, ND producers, ND funders, and other ND experts. It also presents an opportunity to cross-pollinate ideas as well as introduce ND gaps identified by federal programs to ND experts and ND capabilities to the various federal ND users. WANDA 2024 included five technical sessions, three of which focused on Fusion Energy Sciences (FES)—FES Fusion Neutronics, FES Tritium Production, and FES Material Damage—and two stand-alone sessions—Isotopes and Targetry for Nuclear Data and Uncertainty Quantification. The FES sessions successfully brought new voices to the WANDA discussions, expanding the application space in which nuclear data are critical. FES programs need accurate nuclear data with realistic uncertainty quantification to properly estimate, for example, shielding, activation, tritium production, helium production, structural material integrity, and superconducting magnet operation. This includes a variety of projectile (neutrons, photons, charged particles) and target atoms. One of the action items common to all the FES sessions was a need to perform sensitivity studies to identify the prioritization of nuclear data needs. The Isotopes and Targetry session highlighted the many capabilities available to produce high-quality targets for nuclear data measurements, including 3D printing with spherical powders, combustion synthesis coupled with spin coating & electrospraying, inkjet printing, and isotopic doping. These new methods open doors for more accurate measurement, but it was also stressed that sample characterization following any method of fabrication is of the highest importance to accurately interpret nuclear data measurement results that used that sample. The Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) session was broken into two categories: nuclear data uncertainty quantification and the use of that uncertainty quantification. Thematic to the UQ session was the loss of information when going from nuclear data measurement, to evaluation, to evaluated file, and finally to neutron transport calculations. Current evaluated ND libraries typically only contain covariances, which assume that the probability distributions are Gaussian. Beyond being a simplified assumption for many evaluations, this can lead to negative values on many observables when attempting to sample the covariance. The covariance format, however, is very efficient in that a simple set of linear equations can transform uncertainty from parameters or cross sections to the application of interest. Focused collaboration is needed between nuclear data evaluators and nuclear data users to ensure that needs are being met.

No ball milling needed: Alternative ODS steel manufacturing with gas atomization reaction synthesis (GARS) and friction-based processing

Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are promising structural materials for future fusion reactors. The high-density (~10 23 /m 3 ) of highly stable Y-(Ti)-O nano-oxides provide high sink strength for radiation resistance and high-temperature (> 650 °C) creep strength. Concomitantly, helium management is enabled by trapping high density (~10 23 /m 3 ) of small (< 3 nm) helium bubbles in the vicinity of nano-oxides. However, conventional route of making ODS steels involves prolonged ball milling, canning, degassing, and laborious thermo-mechanical processing (TMP). Such route, especially the batch-by-batch ball milling step, faces persistent challenge with scalability and high costs. Gas atomization reaction synthesis (GARS) method has demonstrated the potential of making precursor ODS steel powders without ball milling, but the nano-oxide density was around 10 21 /m 3 in the final consolidated form by conventional TMP. Taking advantage of GARS precursor powder, we use friction-based processing, including friction consolidation and extrusion, to manufacture ODS steel with further improved nano-oxide characteristics. Here, preliminary results showed that Y/Ti/O species were intimately mixed and rapidly reacted to form nano-oxides with a number density of ~10 22 /m 3 .

Materials Genomics Search for Possible Helium‐Absorbing Nano‐Phases in Fusion Structural Materials

Abstract Civilian fusion demands structural materials that can withstand the harsh environments imposed inside fusion plasma reactors. The structural materials often transmute under 14.1 MeV fast neutrons, producing helium (He), which embrittles the grain boundary (GB) network. Here, it is shown that neutron‐friendly and mechanically strong nano‐phases with atomic‐scale free volume can have low He‐embedding energy and >10 at.% He‐absorbing capacity, and can be especially advantageous for soaking up He on top of resisting radiation damage and creep, provided they have thermodynamic compatibility with the matrix phase, satisfactory equilibrium wetting angle, as well as a high enough melting point. The preliminary experimental demonstration proves that is a good ab initio predictor of He shielding potency in nano‐heterophase materials, and thus, is used as a key feature for computational screening. In this context, a list of viable compounds expected to be good He‐absorbing nano‐phases is presented, taking into account , the neutron absorption and activation cross‐sections, the elastic moduli, melting temperature, the thermodynamic compatibility, and the equilbrium wetting angle of the nano‐phases with the Fe matrix as an example.

Fuel-cladding chemical interaction of a prototype annular U-10Zr fuel with Fe-12Cr ferritic/martensitic HT-9 cladding

As an alternative fuel form, the annular metallic fuel design eliminates the liquid sodium bond between the fuel and the cladding, providing back-end fuel cycle and other benefits. The fuel-cladding chemical interaction (FCCI) of annular fuel also presents new features. In this work, state-of-the-art electron microscopy and spectroscopy techniques were used to study the FCCI of a prototype annular U-10wt%Zr (U-10Zr) fuel with ferritic/martensitic HT-9 cladding irradiated to 3.3% fission per initial heavy atom. Compared with sodium-bonded solid fuels, negligible amounts of lanthanides were found in the FCCI layer in the investigated helium-bonded annular fuel. Instead, most lanthanides were retained in the newly formed UZr 2 phase in the fuel center region. The interdiffusion of iron and uranium resulted in tetragonal ( U ,Zr) 6 Fe phase (space group I4/mcm) and cubic ( U ,Zr)( Fe ,Cr) 2 phase (space group Fd 3 ¯ m). The ( U ,Zr)( Fe ,Cr) 2 phase contains a high density of voids and intergranular uranium monocarbides of NaCl-type crystal structure (space group Fm 3 ¯ m). At the interdiffusion zone and inner cladding interface, a porous lamellar structure composed of alternating Cr-rich layers and U-rich layers was observed. Next to the lamellar region, the unexpected phase transformation from body-centered cubic ferrite (α-Fe) to tetragonal binary Fe-Cr σ phase (space group P4 2 /mnm) occurred, and tetragonal Fe-Cr-U-Si phase (space group I4/mmm) was identified. Due to the diffusion of carbon into the interdiffusion zone, carbon depletion inside the HT-9 led to the disappearance of the martensite lath structure, and intergranular U-rich carbides formed as a result of the diffusion of uranium into the cladding. These detailed new findings reveal the unique features of the FCCI behavior of annular U-Zr fuels, which could be a promising alternative fuel form for high burnup fast reactor applications.

Non-dilute helium-related defect interactions in the near-surface region of plasma-exposed tungsten

We report a systematic energetic analysis of helium-related defect interactions that mediate helium (He) segregation on surfaces of plasma-exposed tungsten at different levels of He ion implantation. We focus on high He fluences that increase the He content in the plasma-exposed material well beyond the dilute limit of He concentration and employ atomic configurations generated by large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of He-implanted tungsten. We perform systematic molecular statics computations of cluster– defect interaction energetics in the highly defect-rich near-surface region of plasma-exposed tungsten for small mobile helium clusters as a function of the cluster distance from the surface. In this region, mobile clusters are also subjected to the stress fields generated by defects such as helium bubbles and other clusters, which govern cluster–defect interactions in addition to the cluster–surface interaction. Based on systematic investigation of individual cluster–defect interactions, we develop a mathematical framework to describe the interaction energy landscapes consisting of elastic interaction potential perturbations to finite-width square-well potentials, where the potential well accounts for cluster trapping by the defect at close range and subsequent coalescence and the perturbation potential is parameterized according to elastic inclusion theory. Superposition of all the relevant interaction potentials provides a comprehensive description of the interaction energy landscape that would be experienced by a small mobile cluster along its migration path toward the plasma-exposed surface at high He fluence. Such descriptions are particularly important for developing atomistically-informed, hierarchical multi-scale models of helium cluster dynamics in plasma-facing materials.

Rotating quantum turbulence in the unitary Fermi gas

Quantized vortices carry the angular momentum in rotating superfluids, and are key to the phenomenon of quantum turbulence. Advances in ultracold-atom technology enable quantum turbulence to be studied in regimes with both experimental and theoretical control, unlike the original contexts of superfluid helium experiments. While much work has been performed with bosonic systems, detailed studies of fermionic quantum turbulence are nascent, despite wide applicability to other contexts such as rotating neutron stars. In this paper, we present a large-scale study of quantum turbulence in rotating fermionic superfluids using an accurate time-dependent density functional theory called the superfluid local density approximation. We identify two different modes of turbulent decay in the dynamical equilibration of a rotating fermionic superfluid, and contrast these results with a computationally simpler description provided by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which we find can qualitatively reproduce these decay mechanisms if dissipation is explicitly included. These results demonstrate that dissipation mechanisms intrinsic to fermionic superfluids play a key role in differentiating fermionic from bosonic turbulence, which manifests by enhanced damping of Kelvin waves.
