Abstract

This is the final report for a three-year, Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The objective of this work was to develop the competency for the synthesis of novel bulk amorphous alloys. The authors researched their synthesis methods and alloy properties, including thermal stability, mechanical, and transport properties. The project also addressed the development of vanadium-spinel alloys for structural applications in hostile environments, the measurement of elastic constants and thermal expansion in single-crystal TiAl from 300 to 750 K, the measurement of elastic constants in gallium nitride, and a study of the shock-induced martensitic transformations in NiTi alloys.

EOS, thermodynamic, and structural-mechanical properties of intermetallic compounds

Technical Report Wills, J; Straub, G; Albers, R

This is the final report of a three-year, Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Several classes of binary intermetallic compounds have important potential application as high temperature structural materials because of their high melting temperature, low density, and high strength, but their use is limited by their poor low temperature ductility and fracture toughness. The goal of this project was to further the development of techniques for performing ab-initio calculations of the electronic, structural, and elastic properties of these materials in an investigation of the relation between structure, composition, and mechanical properties of intermetallics.more »« less

Nonlinearity in structural and electronic materials

Technical Report Bishop, A; Beardmore, K; Ben-Naim, E

This is the final report of a three-year, Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The project strengthens a nonlinear technology base relevant to a variety of problems arising in condensed matter and materials science, and applies this technology to those problems. In this way the controlled synthesis of, and experiments on, novel electronic and structural materials provide an important focus for nonlinear science, while nonlinear techniques help advance the understanding of the scientific principles underlying the control of microstructure and dynamics in complex materials. This research is primarily focused on four topics:more »« less

Bulk and surface electronic structure of actinide, rare earth, and transition metal elements and compounds

Technical Report Wills, J; Eriksson, O

This is the final report for a three-year, Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). This project sought to study of unusual magnetic and structural properties of rare earth, actinide, and transition metals through high-precision electronic structure calculations. Magnetic moment anisotropies in bulk and surface systems were studied, with emphasis on novel surfaces with unusual magnetic properties with possible applicability in magnetic recording. The structural stability, bonding properties, and elastic response of the actinides, as well as transition and rare earth elements and compounds, were also studied. The project sought to understand themore »« less

Characterization of advanced electronic materials

Technical Report Arko, A; Heffner, R; Hundley, M

This is the final report of a three-year, Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Our goal has been to extend the Laboratory`s competency in nuclear and advanced materials by characterizing (measuring and interpreting) physical properties of advanced electronic materials and in this process to bridge the gap between materials synthesis and theoretical understanding. Attention has focused on discovering new physics by understanding the ground states of materials in which electronic correlations dominate their properties. Among several accomplishments, we have discovered and interpreted pressure-induced superconductivity in CeRh{sub 2}Si{sub 2}, boron content in UBe{sub 13-x}B{submore »« less

Minerals of the earth's deep interior

Technical Report Schiferl, D; Zhao, Y; Shankland, T

This is the final report of a three-year, Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The project addresses the major geophysical issue of the nature of the seismic velocity and density discontinuity at 670 km depth (the boundary between upper and lower mantle with temperature about 1,900 K and pressure about 23 GPa). A phase change at this depth would represent a relatively small barrier to mantle convection through the discontinuity, but compositional change would inhibit thermal convection throughout the mantle. To address this problem the authors measured equation of state parameters in mantlemore »« less
