Continuous concentration and constant volume washing of tetraphenylborate slurries (open access)

Continuous concentration and constant volume washing of tetraphenylborate slurries

SRTC has completed filtration testing of tetraphenylborate (TPB) slurries with and without sludge. These tests were slightly different from previous SRS tests in that they used continuous mode concentration and constant volume washing evolutions. The extent of TPB recovery during washing was measured. The resulting washed precipitate slurry, with sludge, was stored at ambient temperature and under a nitrogen-inerted atmosphere to study TPB stability. Samples of both unwashed and washed slurries were submitted for rheology measurements.

The effect of temperature and radiation on the cesium adsorption ability of IONSIV/256 IE-910 and IONSIV/256 IE-911 (open access)

The effect of temperature and radiation on the cesium adsorption ability of IONSIV/256 IE-910 and IONSIV/256 IE-911

This study examined the ion exchange capacity of crystalline silicotitanate in a simulated waste solution. The focus areas included the effect of temperature and radiation on cesium sorption capacity. The cesium is expected to be removed from high-level radioactive wastes using these ion exchange materials.

Filamentation and Fundamental-Mode Operation in InGaN Quantum Well Lasers (open access)

Filamentation and Fundamental-Mode Operation in InGaN Quantum Well Lasers

Filamentation, and consequently output beam quality in InGaN quantum-well lasers are found to be strong functions of quantum-well width because of the interplay of quantum-confined Stark effect and many-body interactions. For an In{sub 0.2}Ga{sub 0.8}N/GaN gain medium the antiguiding factor in a thick 4nm quantum well is considerably smaller than that for a narrow 2nm one. As a result, lasers with the thicker quantum well maintain fundamental-mode operation with wider stripe widths and at significantly higher excitation levels.

Fuel Fracture (Crumbling) Safety Impact (OCRWM)

The safety impact of experimentally observed N Reactor fuel sample fracture and fragmentation is evaluated using an average reaction rate enhancement derived from data from thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) experiments on fuel samples. The enhanced reaction rates attributed to fragmentation were within the existing safety basis.

The Growth of InAsSb/InAs/InPSb/InAs Mid-Infrared Emitters by Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (open access)

The Growth of InAsSb/InAs/InPSb/InAs Mid-Infrared Emitters by Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition

We report on the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of strained layer superlattices (SLSs) of InAsSb/InAs/InPSb/InAs as well as mid-infrared optically pumped lasers grown using a high speed rotating disk react,or (RDR). The devices contain AIAsSb cladding layers and strained, type I, InAsSb/InAs/InPSb/InAs strained layer superlattice (SLS) active regions. By changing the layer thickness and composition of the SLS, we have prepared structures with low temperature (<20K) photoluminescence wavelengths ranging from 3.4 to 4.8 pm. The optical properties of the InAsSb/InPSb superlattices revealed an anomalous low energy transition that can be assigned to an antimony-rich, interfacial layer in the superlattice. This low energy transition can be eliminated by introducing a 1.0 nm InAs layer between the InAsSb and InPSb layers in the superlattice. An InAsSb/InAs/lnPSbflnAs SLS laser was grown on an InAs substrate with AlAs{sub 0.16}Sb{sub 0.84} cladding layers. A lasing threshold and spectrally narrowed laser emission were seen from 80 through 250 K, the maximum temperature where lasing occurred. The temperature dependence of the SLS laser threshold is described by a characteristic temperature, T{sub 0} = 39 K, from 80 to 200 K.

Growth of InSb on GaAs Substrates Using InAlSb Buffers for Magnetic Field Sensor Applications (open access)

Growth of InSb on GaAs Substrates Using InAlSb Buffers for Magnetic Field Sensor Applications

We report the growth of InSb on GaAs using InAlSb buffers of high interest for magnetic field sensors. We have grown samples by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition consisting of {approx}0.55{micro}m thick InSb layers with resistive InAlSb buffers on GaAs substrates with measured electron mobilities of {approx}40,000 cm{sup 2}/V.s. We have investigated the In{sub 1-x}Al{sub x}Sb buffers for compositions x {le} 0.22 and have found that the best results are obtained near x = 0.12 due to the tradeoff of buffer layer bandgap and lattice mismatch.

The importance of vehicle costs, fuel prices, and fuel efficiency to HEV market success. (open access)

The importance of vehicle costs, fuel prices, and fuel efficiency to HEV market success.

Toyota's introduction of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) named ''Prius'' in Japan and Honda's proposed introduction of an HEV in the United States have generated considerable interest in the long-term viability of such fuel-efficient vehicles. A performance and cost projection model developed entirely at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) is used here to estimate costs. ANL staff developed fuel economy estimates by extending conventional vehicle (CV) modeling done primarily under the National Cooperative Highway Research Program. Together, these estimates are employed to analyze dollar costs vs. benefits of two of many possible HEV technologies. We project incremental costs and fuel savings for a Prius-type low-performance hybrid (14.3 seconds zero to 60 mph acceleration, 260 time) and a higher-performance ''mild'' hybrid vehicle, or MHV (11 seconds 260 time). Each HEV is compared to a U.S. Toyota Corolla with automatic transmission (11 seconds 260 time). The base incremental retail price range, projected a decade hence, is $3,200-$3,750, before considering battery replacement cost. Historical data are analyzed to evaluate the effect of fuel price on consumer preferences for vehicle fuel economy, performance, and size. The relationship between fuel price, the level of change in fuel price, and consumer attitude toward higher fuel efficiency is …

An innovative accelerator-driven inertial electrostatic confinement device using converging ion beams

Fundamental physics issues facing development of fusion power on a small-scale are assessed with emphasis on the idea of Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC). The authors propose a new concept of accelerator-driven IEC fusion, termed Converging Beam Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (CB-IEC). CB-IEC offers a number of innovative features that make it an attractive pathway toward resolving fundamental physics issues and assessing the ultimate viability of the IEC concept for power generation.
