Nuclear Reaction Analysis of Biotite Minerals

Lead Institution
University of Texas at El Paso
Principal Investigator
Chintalapalle Ramana
Project type
Exploratory Research
Understanding the chemical processes, crystal chemistry, and elemental composition evolution in minerals is highly important in geochemical, environmental, and geophysical sciences. Biotite, K(Fe2+…

The unoccupied electronic structure of surface adsorbates

Lead Institution
University of Pittsburgh
Principal Investigator
Hrvoje Petek
Project type
Exploratory Research
I. Solvated electron at surfaces and interfaces Our study based on 2PP and DFT of H2O/CH3OH on TiO2 rutile (110) surface shows that the interfacial solvated electron is very important…

Probing the Electronic Structure of Metal Clusters

Lead Institution
Brown University
Principal Investigator
Lai-Sheng Wang
Project type
Exploratory Research
Photoelectron spectroscopy is used to probe the electronic structure of size-selected atomic clusters produced using laser vaporization. In this proposal, we will focus on our studies on small boron…

Snow Pack Predictions for Next 50 Years in the Pacific Northwest

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Michael Perkins
Project type
Exploratory Research
Based on predictions from researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, I intend to build an animation that will depict snow pack level changes in the Pacific Northwest. This animation will…

Determination of cause of bloating in Ti pellets

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Nathan Canfield
Project type
Exploratory Research
Bloating of samples has been seen to happen under certain processing and sintering conditions. This bloating has been attributed to Ar gas trapped in the Ti powder. There is a need to determine if…
