Estimation of fatigue strain-life curves for austenitic stainless steels in light water reactor environments.

Description: The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code design fatigue curves for structural materials do not explicitly address the effects of reactor coolant environments on fatigue life. Recent test data indicate a significant decrease in fatigue lives of austenitic stainless steels (SSs) in light water reactor (LWR) environments. Unlike those of carbon and low-alloy steels, environmental effects on fatigue lives of SSs are more pronounced in low-dissolved-oxygen (low-DO) water than in high-DO water, This … more

Nanoscale investigation of polarization retention loss in ferroelectric thin films via scanning force microscopy.

Description: Scanning force microscopy (SFM) was applied to direct nanoscale investigation of the mechanism of retention loss in ferroelectric thin films. Experiments were conducted by performing local polarization reversal within an individual grain with subsequent imaging of a resulting domain structure at various time intervals. A conductive SFM tip was used for domain switching and imaging in the SFM piezoresponse mode.

High-average-power diode-end-pumped intracavity-doubled Nd:YAG laser

Description: A compact diode-pumped ND:YAG laser was frequency-doubled to 0.532 {mu}m with an intracavity KTP or LBO crystal using a `V` cavity configuration. Two acousto-optic Q-switches were employed at repetition rates of 10-30 kHz. Dichroic fold and end mirrors were used to output two beams with up to 140 W of 0.532 {mu}m power using KTP and 116 W using LBO as the frequency doubling crystal. This corresponds to 66% of the maximum output power at 1.064 {mu}m obtained with an optimized output coupler refl… more

Microscopic calculations of {lambda} single-particle energies.

Description: {Lambda} binding energy data for total baryon number A {le} 208 and for {Lambda} angular momenta {ell}{sub {Lambda}} {le} 3 are analyzed in terms of phenomenological (but generally consistent with meson-exchange) {Lambda}N and {Lambda}NN potentials. The Fermi-Hypernetted-Chain technique is used to calculate the expectation values for the {Lambda} binding to nuclear matter. Accurate effective {Lambda}N and {Lambda}NN potentials are obtained which are folded with the core nucleus nucleon densitie… more

Sputter deposited beryllium fuel capsules for NIF

Description: The objective of our effort is to systematically study the properties of films produced under different conditions, with an emphasis on improving surface morphology and microstructure while studying permeability and capsule strength. We have made extensive use of atomic force and electron microscopy to determine the microstructure of the films, along with composition probes (mainly x-ray fluorescence) to quantify the chemical structure. Our studies can be roughly divided into three categories. … more
