Design of a neutron microscope based on Wolter mirrors

April 21, 2021
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, B. Khaykovich, Jeremy C. Cook, David L. Jacobson, Jacob LaManna, Kiranmayee Kilaru, Brian Ramsey, M. V. Gubarev
The predominate geometry for a neutron imaging experiment is that of a pinhole camera. This is primarily due to the difficulty in focusing neutrons due to the weak refractive index, which is also strongly chromatic. Proof of concept experiments

Effects of Cathode Corrosion on Through-Plane Water Transport in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

April 21, 2021
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, Joseph Fairweather, Dusan Spernjak, Adam Weber, David Harvey, Silvia Wessell, David L. Jacobson, Kateryna Artyushkova, Rangachary Mukundan, Rodney Borup
The corrosion of carbon in the electrode supports of proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells leads to electrode collapse, reduced active catalyst area, and increased surface hydrophilicity. While these effects have been linked to performance degradation over

High-resolution neutron depolarization microscopy of the ferromagnetic transitions inNi3Al and HgCr2Se4 under pressure

April 21, 2021
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, Muhammad Abir, B. Khaykovich, C. Pfleiderer, Pau Jorba, Marc Seifert, Michael Schulz
We performed spatially resolved imaging of ferromagnetic transitions in Ni3Al and HgCr2Se4 crystals. These neutron depolarization measurements discovered bulk magnetic inhomogeneities in the ferromagnetic transition temperature with the spatial resolution

Multi-scale analyses of constituent phases in a trip-assisted duplex stainless steel by electron backscatter diffraction, in situ neutron diffraction, and energy selective neutron imaging

April 21, 2021
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, Wanchuck Woo, Jongyul Kim
Micrometer to centimeter scale analyses of the crystalline phase volume fractions in a trip- assisted duplex stainless steel were performed as a function strain using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), in situ neutron diffraction, and energy

Neutron Imaging of Laser Melted SS316 Test Objects with Spatially Resolved Small Angle Neutron Scattering

April 21, 2021
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, Adam J. Brooks, Caroline G. Lowery, Gerald L. Knapp, Bridget E. Cadigan, Shengmin Guo, Leslie G. Butler
A novel neutron far field interferometer is explored for sub-micron porosity detection in laser sintered SS316 test objects. The results shown are images and volumes of the first quantitative neutron dark-field tomography at various autocorrelation lengths

Thermal And Visual Observation Of Water And Acetone Oscillating Heat Pipes

April 21, 2021
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Hongbin Ma, R. A. Winholtz, Corey Wilson, Corey Borgmeyer
Identical oscillating heat pipes (OHP) charged separately with water and acetone were observed thermally and visually at varying condenser temperatures and heat inputs. Neutron radiography allowed visualization of hydrogen rich liquid water and acetone

Thick Sintered Electrode Lithium-Ion Battery Discharge Simulations: Incorporating Lithiation-Dependent Electronic Conductivity and Lithiation Gradient due to Charge Cycle

April 21, 2021
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, Jacob LaManna, David L. Jacobson, Gary Koenig
In efforts to increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, researchers have attempted to both increase the thickness of battery electrodes and increase the relative fractions of active material. One system that has both of these attributes are

Role of low molecular weight polymers on the dynamics of silicon anodes during casting

April 13, 2021
Author(s)
Mary Burdette, Beth Armstrong, Ryan Murphy, Luke Heroux, Mathieu Doucet, Stephen Trask, Alexander Rogers, Gabriel Veith
This work probes the slurry architecture of a high silicon content electrode slurry with and without low molecular weight polymeric dispersants as a function of shear rate to mimic electrode casting conditions for poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and lithium

Robust Biological Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Framework with Post-Functionalized Rhenium(I) Sites for Efficient Heterogeneous Visible Light-Driven CO 2 Reduction

April 12, 2021
Author(s)
Baoqiu Yu, Lianjie Li, Shanshan Liu, Hailong Wang, Heyuan Liu, Chenxiang Lin, Chao Liu, Hui Wu, Wei Zhou, Xiyou Li, Tianyu Wang, Banglin Chen, Jianzhuang Jiang
A robust 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy)-derived biological hydrogenbonded framework (HOF-25) has been realized depending on guanine-quadruplex with the assistance of π-π interaction, which reacts with Re(CO) 5Cl to give a post-functionalized HOF-25-Re. Xray

Intermediate Scattering Functions of a Rigid Body Monoclonal Antibody Protein in Solution Studied by Dissipative Particle Dynamic Simulation

April 8, 2021
Author(s)
Yanqin Zhai, Nicos Martys, William L. George, Joseph E. Curtis, Jannatun Nayem, Y. Z, Yun Liu
In the past decade, there is increased research interest in studying internal motions of flexible proteins in solution using Neutron Spin Echo (NSE) as NSE can simultaneously probe the dynamics at the length and time scale comparable to protein domain

Membrane transporter dimerization driven by differential lipid solvation energetics of dissociated and associated states

April 7, 2021
Author(s)
Rahul Chadda, Nathan Bernhardt, Elizabeth Kelley, Susana Marujo Teixeira, Kacie Griffith, Alejandro Gil-Ley, Tugba Ozturk, Lauren Hughes, Ana Forsythe, Venkatramanan Krishnamani, Jose Faraldo-Gomez, Janice Robertson
Over two-thirds of integral membrane proteins of known structure assemble into oligomers. Yet, the forces that drive the association of these proteins remain to be delineated, as the lipid bilayer is a solvent environment that is both structurally and

Interplay between the Reorientational Dynamics of the B 3 H 8 - Anion and the Structure in KB 3 H 8

February 25, 2021
Author(s)
M. S. Andersson, Jakob Grinderslev, X.-M. Chen, X. Chen, Ulrich Haussermann, Wei Zhou, T. R. Jensen, M. Karlsson, Terrence J. Udovic
The local structure and reorientational dynamics of KB 3H 8 were studied using quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering, Raman spectroscopy, first-principles calculations and differential scanning calorimetry. The results reveal the existence of a

Tailoring electrode-electrolyte-interfaces in lithium-ion batteries using molecularly engineered functional polymers

February 22, 2021
Author(s)
Laisuo Su, Jamie Weaver, Mitchell C. Groenenboom, Nathan Nakamura, Eric Rus, Priyanka Anand, Shikhar Krishn Jha, Joseph Okasinski, Joseph Dura, B Reeja-Jayan
Electrode−electrolyte interfaces (EEIs) affect the rate capability, cycling stability, and thermal safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Designing stable EEIs with fast Li+ transport is crucial for developing advanced LIBs. Here, we study Li+ kinetics at
