Abstract

The main objective of these studies was to reveal some general trends of the physical and chemical behavior of the ultra-small amounts of impurities of various nuclear-induced origin and their previous history in irradiated metals that had undergone structural transformations. To tackle the problem, an original methodological approach has been applied based on a complex use of various nuclear-physical methods: (1) emission and absorption nuclear gamma resonance spectroscopy; (2) Mossbauer spectroscopy of secondary electrons ({sup 119}Sn); (3) X-ray structural and phase analysis; and (4) radioisotopic techniques used to study mass-transport processes (gamma-ray self-absorption method, sectioning method, and Langmuir method). To study the transport properties of radioactive impurity atoms {sup 113m}In and {sup 188}Re, the new method was used. An interrelation has been revealed between the electronic and crystallographic state of the hot impurity atoms, as also between their physical and chemical behavior and structural changes occurring in the bulk or in the surface phase of irradiated metals. Also revealed were abnormalities in the diffusion behavior of impurities in the bulk and in the surface phase of irradiated metals, as well as in their physical and chemical behavior at the metal-gas interface during cold rolling and thermally induced reconstructive phase transitionsmore »« less

Anomalous behavior of impurity {sup 113m}In atoms during structural transitions in metallic Sn

Journal Article Alekseev, I; Bondarevskii, S; Eremin, V - Radiochemistry

The physicochemical behavior of {open_quotes}hot{close_quotes} {sup 113m}In impurity atoms during structural transitions in metallic Sn is studied using the shift of secular radioactive equilibrium, secondary-electron Mossbauer spectroscopy, and X-ray phase analysis. The observed anomalies of the impurities, their accelerated migration to regions of low temperature, and emanation into the gas phase at submelting temperatures result from thermally induced reconstructive surface phase transitions.
Defects in glasses

Conference Galeener, F; Griscom, D; Weber, M

The papers in this book cover intrinsic or deliberately induced defects in the form of impurities and dopants (atomic, ionic, molecular. . .), short range order (point defects, wrong bonds, wrong coordination. . .), intermediate range order (rings, rafts, cages. . .) and extended defects (voids, internal and external surfaces. . .). Many of the defects are induced by radiations, ranging in energy from meV to MeV and including infrared, visible, U.V., X-ray, {gamma}-ray, electrons, protons and neutrons. The materials covered include oxide, halide and chalcogenide bulk glasses, xero gels, fibres and amorphous thin films. The full extend of materialsmore »« less
Overview of Modeling and Simulations of Plutonium Aging

Journal Article Schwartz, A; Wolfer, W - Journal of Computer-Aided Materials Design, vol. 14, no. 3, September 30, 2007, pp. 331-335

Computer-aided materials research is now an integral part of science and technology. It becomes particularly valuable when comprehensive experimental investigations and materials testing are too costly, hazardous, or of excessive duration; then, theoretical and computational studies can supplement and enhance the information gained from limited experimental data. Such is the case for improving our fundamental understanding of the properties of aging plutonium in the nuclear weapons stockpile. The question of the effects of plutonium aging on the safety, security, and reliability of the nuclear weapons stockpile emerged after the United States closed its plutonium manufacturing facility in 1989 and decidedmore »« less

Atomic-Scale Surface Studies of Bulk Metallic Glasses. Final Report

Technical Report Schwarz, Udo

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are of both scientific and technological interest because the absence of periodic atomic arrangements provides them with unique physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Their high strength, superior elasticity, and an ability to be easily formed into virtually unlimited shapes with feature sizes from centimeters to Angstroms by blow molding and thermoplastic forming makes them an attractive choice for more and more practical applications and products. Due to their complex internal structure, however, experiments that yield insight into their exact atomic arrangements have been scarce. As a result, glass physics is one of the last remaining unexploredmore »« less

Specificity of Behavior of Impurity Radioactive ''Hot'' Atoms Upon Phase Transitions in Metals

Conference Alekseeve, I; Antropov, A; Maslennikov, D

In a number of metal systems that undergo phase transitions, we have studied the physical and chemical behavior of radioactive microimpurities being formed in several metals. The main objective of these studies was to reveal some general trends of the physical and chemical behavior of the ultra-small amounts of impurites of various nuclear-induced origin and their previous history in irradiated metals that had undergone structural transformations. To tackle the problem, an original methodological approach has been applied based on a complex use of various nuclear-physical methods.
