Projects

Routine SEM analysis of lysed Bacillus spores

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Cindy Bruckner-Lea
Project type
Exploratory Research
The research included in this proposal involves the routine SEM analysis of Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus atrophaeus spores. SEM analysis will allow us to determine the extent of physical…

Microscopic analysis of carbon-based nanomaterials

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Yongsoon Shin
Project type
Exploratory Research
We are synthesizing nanostructured carbon-based materials from different carbohydrate precursors, such as glucose, fructose, and their derivatives. Functional carbon spheres with core-shell…

Volumetric Density of Alpha-recoil Tracks in Uranium Oxide by TEM

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Theva Thevuthasan
Considerable effort has been and is being expended to explore various avenues related to nuclear forensics, whether they are for environmental signatures, remediation, or proliferation detection and…

SEM investigation of Thermal Barrier Coatings and ODS alloys

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Glenn Grant
Project type
Exploratory Research
We are interested in compositional and microstructural information on approximately 10 samples of Zirconia coated steel and a ferritic ODS alloy. We are also interested in high resolution SEM images…

Heavy Ion Damage in Stainless Steel Alloys

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Bruce Arey
Project type
Exploratory Research
We plan to do a series of experiments using Nickel ions, with variations in temperature and damage rate. The first year, we have a matrix of three alloys, two temperatures and four damage rate…

Advanced Techniques for Nuclear Materials Characterization

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Dallas Reilly
PNNL is home to state of the art research capabilities, which are often underutilized on radioactive samples due to non-dispersion requirements and limits on sample quantity that can enter workspaces…

Chemical Characterization of Arrays of TiO2 Nanocolumns

Lead Institution
University of Texas at Austin
Principal Investigator
David Flaherty
Project type
Exploratory Research
We propose to study thin nano-structured films of titanium oxide, and vanadium- and nitrogen-doped titanium oxide which we will deposit by employing reactive ballistic deposition (RBD). Properly…

SEM/EDS of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell seal materials

Lead Institution
US Department of Energy, Washington, DC
Principal Investigator
John Vetrano
Project type
Exploratory Research
The purpose of proposal is to examine the surface topography and composition of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) seal assemblies. These assemblies have been produced and then tested. We want to…

Helium Ion Lithography on Quantum Computing Materials

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Bruce Arey
A SQUID array (SQA) is a single electrical circuit on a chip composed of many individual SQUID loops connected in one- or two-dimensional (series, parallel, or series-parallel) configurations…

Characterization of Functional Nanoscale Materials for Vapor Sensing

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Christopher Aardahl
Project type
Exploratory Research
Materials will be characterized in a variety of configurations including powders, pelletized beds, and thin films. These will generally be coupled to acoustic sensors for characterization as vapor…

Evaluation of multicomponent proous oxide films

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Xiaohong Li
Project type
Exploratory Research
The objective is to understand processing-microstructure relationships in multicomponent oxide films prepared by evaporative deposition of solution precursors
