[Three-dimensional position-sensitive germanium detectors]. Annual report for EMSP Project Number 65015 (open access)

[Three-dimensional position-sensitive germanium detectors]. Annual report for EMSP Project Number 65015

This study focuses on the radioactive materials characterization needs of DOE's decontamination and decommissioning effort. Gamma-ray imaging and spectroscopy together form a potentially powerful tool for the passive, non-destructive and non-intrusive identification and spatial mapping of contaminated structures. Germanium position-sensitive gamma-ray detectors offer the advantage of excellent energy resolution required for clear isotopic identification combined with potentially high spatial resolution. The authors propose a program of research to develop three-dimensional position-sensitive germanium detectors with the ultimate goal of improving image resolution without cameras. With the addition of depth-of-interaction sensing to conventional two-dimensional position-sensitive detectors, they will be able to greatly reduce the image degradation effects caused by Compton scattering and parallax, thereby increasing the resolving power of the detectors. The technology developed will form the basis for the design and fabrication of future high-performance gamma-ray imaging cameras.

Bench scale testing of micronized magnetite beneficiation. Quarterly technical progress report 4, October--December, 1993 (open access)

Bench scale testing of micronized magnetite beneficiation. Quarterly technical progress report 4, October--December, 1993

This project is aimed at development of a process that, by using ultra fine magnetite suspension, would expand the application of heavy media separation technology to processing fine, {minus}28 mesh coals. These coal fines, produced during coal mining and crushing, are separated in the conventional coal preparation plant and generally impounded in a tailings pond. Development of an economic process for processing these fines into marketable product will expand the utilization of coal for power production in an environmentally acceptable and economically viable way. This process has been successfully researched at PETC but has not been studied on a continuous bench-scale unit, which is a necessary step towards commercial development of this promising technology. The goal of the program is to investigate the technology in a continuous circuit at a reasonable scale to provide a design basis for larger plants and a commercial feasibility data.

Measurements of the total ion flux from vacuum arc cathodespots (open access)

Measurements of the total ion flux from vacuum arc cathodespots

The ion flux from vacuum arc cathode spots was measured in two vacuum arc systems. The first was a vacuum arc ion source which was modified allowing us to collect ions from arc plasma streaming through an anode mesh. The second discharge system essentially consisted of a cathode placed near the center of a spherically shaped mesh anode. In both systems, the ion current streaming through the mesh was measured by a biased collector. The mesh anodes had geometric transmittances of 60 percent and 72 percent, respectively, which were taken into account as correction factors. The ion current from different cathode materials was measured for 50-500 A of arc current. The ion current normalized by the arc current was found to depend on the cathode material, with values in the range from 5 percent to 19 percent. The normalized ion current is generally greater for elements of low cohesive energy. The ion erosion rates were determined from values of ion current and ion charge states, which were previously measured in the same ion source. The absolute ion erosion rates range from 16-173 mu g/C.

Direct Injection Compressed Ignition Diesel Automotive Technology Education GATE Program (open access)

Direct Injection Compressed Ignition Diesel Automotive Technology Education GATE Program

The underlying goal of this project was to provide multi-disciplinary engineering training for graduate students in the area of internal combustion engines, specifically in direct injection compression ignition engines. The program was designed to educate highly qualified engineers and scientists that will seek to overcome technological barriers preventing the development and production of cost-effective high-efficiency vehicles for the US. market. Further, these highly qualified engineers and scientists will foster an educational process to train a future workforce of automotive engineering professionals who are knowledgeable about and have experience in developing and commercializing critical advanced automotive technologies. Eight objectives were defined to accomplish this goal: (1) Develop an interdisciplinary internal combustion engine curriculum emphasizing direct injected combustion ignited diesel engines. (2) Encourage and promote interdisciplinary interaction of the faculty. (3) Offer a Ph.D. degree in internal combustion engines based upon an interdisciplinary curriculum. (4) Promote strong interaction with industry, develop a sense of responsibility with industry and pursue a self sustaining program. (5) Establish collaborative arrangements and network universities active in internal combustion engine study. (6) Further Enhance a First Class educational facility. (7) Establish ''off-campus'' M.S. and Ph.D. engine programs of study at various industrial sites. (8) Extend and Enhance …

Frictional behavior of diamondlike carbon films in vacuum and under varying water vapor pressure. (open access)

Frictional behavior of diamondlike carbon films in vacuum and under varying water vapor pressure.

In this study, we investigated the frictional behavior of both hydrogenated and hydrogen-free diamondlike carbon (DLC) films in high vacuum (10{sup -6} Pa) at room temperature. Water was also introduced into the vacuum chamber to elucidate its effects on DLC film tribology. The hydrogen-free DLC (also referred to as tetrahedral amorphous carbon, or ta-C) was produced by an arc-PVD process, and the highly hydrogenated DLC was produced by plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition. Tribological measurements of these films were made with a pin-on-disc machine with coated steel balls and coated steel discs in matched pairs under a 1 N load. The ball/disk pairs were rotated at sliding speeds in the range of 0.025-0.075 m/s. In vacuum, the steady-state friction coefficient of ta-C was of the order of 0.6 and the wear was severe, whereas for the highly hydrogenated film, friction was below 0.01, and in an optical microscope no wear could be detected. Adding water vapor to the sliding ta-C system in a vacuum chamber caused friction to decrease monotonically from 0.6 to {approx}0.05. In contrast, adding water vapor to the sliding DLC system caused the friction to increase linearly with pressure from 0.01 to 0.07. The results illustrate the importance of …

Synthesis and Study of Unconventional f-Electron Metals (open access)

Synthesis and Study of Unconventional f-Electron Metals

Research efforts described in this progress report concentrated on the synthesis and exploration of f-electron based materials exhibiting novel properties at low temperatures and on the development of a new experimental technique for low temperatures and high magnetic fields. Specific problems studied included non-Fermi liquid behavior and experimental verifications of novel theories concerned with strong electron correlations. The discovery of non-Fermi liquid behavior has been one of the major physics discoveries of the last decade that undermined the most established theory of condensed matter. Our work has helped with the clarification of the origin of non-Fermi liquid behavior. The experimental technique we have developed allows for simultaneous measurements of electronic specific heat and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time T1 at very low temperatures (down to 60 mK) and very high fields (to 30 T). This project provided its participants with the training in strategic ally sensitive area of the synthesis and characterization of materials.
