Photophysical Interactions in Vapor Synthesized and Mechanically Exfoliated Two-Dimensional Conducting Crystallites for Quantum and Optical Sensing

Description: In the first study, superconducting 2D NbSe₂ was examined towards its prototypical demonstration as a transition-edge sensor, where photoexcitation caused a thermodynamic phase transition in NbSe₂ from the superconducting state to the normal state. The efficacy of the optical absorption was found to depend on the wavelength of the incoming radiation used, which ranged from the ultra-violet (405 nm), visible (660 nm), to the infrared (1060 nm). In the second case involving WSe₂, the UV-ozone tr… more

Processing and Shape-Setting of Shape Memory Alloys for Small Satellite Antennas

Description: In this study, four different NiTi-based shape memory alloys (SMAs) compositions were processed, shape-set, and characterized to evaluate their effectiveness as SMA actuation component for satellite antennas. Three of the compositions were commercially available NiTi wires (90°C Flexinol® actuator NiTi wire and Confluent ADB SE508 NiTi wire), NiTi SM495 plates (ATI Specialty Alloys and Components) and the other composition was in house lab-produced NiTiCu plate. Different shape-setting techniqu… more

Microstructure Evolution and Mechanical Response of Material by Friction Stir Processing and Modeling

Description: In this study, we have investigated the relationship between the process-microstructure to predict and modify the material's properties. Understanding these relationships allows the identification and correction of processing deficiencies when the desired properties are not achieved, depending on the microstructure. Hence, the co-relation between process-microstructure-properties helped reduce the number of experiments, materials & tool costs and saved much time. In the case of high entropy all… more

Processing-Structure-Property Correlation for Additively Manufactured Metastable High Entropy Alloy

Description: In the present study both fusion based - laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), and solid state - additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) additive manufacturing processes were employed for the manufacturing of a metastable high entropy alloy (HEA), Fe40Mn20Co20Cr15Si5 (CS-HEA). A processing window was developed for the LPBF and AFSD processings of CS-HEA. In case of LPBF, formation of solidification related defects such as lack of fusion pores (for energy density ≤ 31.24 J/mm3) and keyhole pores (for… more

A Study on High Pressure-Induced Phase Transformations of a Metastable Complex Concentrated Alloy System with Varying Amounts of Copper

Description: Complex concentrated alloys (CCAs) offer the unique ability to tune composition and microstructure to achieve a wide range of mechanical performance. Recently, the development of metastable CCAs has led to the creation of transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) CCAs. Similar to TRIP steels, TRIP CCAs are more effective at absorbing high strain rate loads when TRIP is activated during the loading process. The objective of our study is to investigate the effect of copper on the critical pressure… more
