This project will explore the effects that MeV irradaion has on candidate compositional analogues of surface non-ice materials s of the the Galilean satellites Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede. The…

TEM and SEM identification and characterization of aluminosilicate precipitates from high pH solutions containing Al in contact with quartz

Lead Institution

Brigham Young University

Principal Investigator

Barry Bickmore

Project type

Exploratory Research

We are performing batch kinetics experiments where we place quartz sand in contact with high pH, high ionic strength solutions with varying amounts of Al (90 C). So far we have found that when the…

Thickness measurement of ion irradiated specimens thinned for transmission electron microscopy

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Taira Okita

Project type

Exploratory Research

Specimens of Fe-16Ni-15Cr were bombarded earlier with nickel ions to produce swelling. These specimens are not radioactive. The specimens will be thinned from the front surface to a depth of about…

Lead Institution

University of Washington

Principal Investigator

Fumio Ohuchi

Project type

Exploratory Research

The aim of this proposed work is to probe the inter-defect distribution (IDD) model that relates the phonon correlation length to the ion dose received by a material such as silicon. Previous…

18-Oxygen uptake measurements on Ceramic samples

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Kevin Kerstetter

Project type

Exploratory Research

The objective of this project is to measure the 18-oxygen uptake on several ceramic samples (La-Sr-Cr-Fe-O). The uptake of the 18-oxygen will be measured using the nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) at…

Thermal Analysis of Photopolymerized Polyacrylate thin films

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Linda Sapochak

Project type

Exploratory Research

Many times photopolymerization of a formulation mixture does not go all the way to completion. Smaller oligomeric components added to the formulation to aid in mechanical, adhesive and/or thermal…

Determination of residual free radical species in photopolymerized polyacrylate thin films and composite layers by ESR.

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Linda Sapochak

Project type

Exploratory Research

The presence of free radical species in coatings used in the electronics packaging industry may be detrimental to the operation of a device. The extent, if any of free radical species in…
