Kienzle, Youngju Kim, Hubert King, Nikolai Klimov, Jacob LaManna, Fankang Li, Alexander Long, Ryan Murphy, Gergely Nagy, Sarah M. Robinson, Pushkar Sathe, Gregory N. Smith, Anna Sokolova, Sven Vogel, Erik Watkins, Yuxuan Zhang, Daniel Hussey, Kathleen Weigandt
The continued advancement of complex materials often requires a deeper understanding of the structure–function relationship across many length scales, which quickly becomes an arduous task when multiple measurements are required to characterize

Precipitation hardening of laser powder bed fusion Ti-6Al-4V

November 20, 2024
Author(s)
Nicholas Derimow, Jake Benzing, Jacob Garcia, Zachary Levin, Ping Lu, Newell Moser, Chad Beamer, Frank DelRio, Nikolas Hrabe
The laser powder bed fusion (PBF-L) additive manufacturing (AM) community has dedicated significant efforts into process optimization and control for defect-free Ti-6Al-4V. As defects become less of an issue for PBF-L Ti-6Al-4V, the processing-structure

Clarifying the Formation of Equiaxed Grains and Microstructural Refinement in the Additive Manufacturing of Binary Ti-Cu

November 14, 2024
Author(s)
Alec Saville, Adriana Eres-Castellanos, Andrew Kustas, Levi Van Bastian, Donald Susan, Dale Cillessen, Sven Vogel, Natalie Compton, Kester Clarke, Amy Clarke
Controlling microstructural evolution in metallic additive manufacturing (AM) is difficult, especially in producing refined as-built grains instead of coarse, directional grains. Traditional solutions involve adding inoculants to AM feedstocks, but

Neutron Vibrational Spectroscopic Study of the Acetonitrile:Acetylene (1:2) Cocrystal Relevant to Titan, Saturn's Moon

November 13, 2024
Author(s)
Morgan Kramer, Luke Daemen, Yongqiang Cheng, Rafael Balderas-Xicohtencatl, Anibal Ramirez-Cuesta, Craig Brown, Tomce Runcevski
Saturn's moon Titan features a surface composed of various organic solids with pronounced compositional and structural diversity. On top of the icy core, the surface experiences a temperature of ≈93 K and pressure of ≈1.45 atm. Under these conditions, most

Workshop Report on Autonomous Methodologies for Accelerating X-ray Measurements

November 5, 2024
Author(s)
Zachary Trautt, Austin McDannald, Brian DeCost, Howard Joress, A. Gilad Kusne, Francesca Tavazza, Tom Blanton
The National Institute of Standards and Technology and the International Centre for Diffraction Data co-hosted a workshop on 17-18 October 2023 to identify and prioritize the goals, challenges, and opportunities for critical and emerging technology needs

Broadband Characterization of Flexible Conductor-Dielectric Composites

November 4, 2024
Author(s)
Luckshitha Suriyasena Liyanage, Nathan Orloff, Nicholas Jungwirth, Sarah Evans, Christian Long, Angela Stelson, Jacob Pawlik, James Booth
Broadband measurements are important for characterizing a wide range of materials for communications applications at microwave and mm-wave frequencies. Here we report on broadband measurements of the effective permittivity of conductor-dielectric flexible

Prediction of Magnetic Properties in van der Waals Magnets using Graph Neural Networks

November 4, 2024
Author(s)
Kamal Choudhary, Peter Minch, Trevor David Rhone, Romakanta Bhattarai
We study two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials using state-of-the-art machine learning models that use a graph-theory framework. We find that representing materials as graphs allows us to better learn structure-property relationships by leveraging both

Electrical Switching the Perpendicular Neel Order in a Collinear Antiferromagnet

November 1, 2024
Author(s)
Wenqing He, Tianyi Zhang, Yongjian Zhou, Caihua Wan, Hao Wu, Baoshan Cui, Jihao Xia, Ran Zhang, Tengyu Guo, Peng Chen, Mingkun Zhao, Leina Jiang, Alexander Grutter, Purnima P. Balakrishnan, Andrew Caruana, Christy Kinane, Sean Langridge, Guoqiang Yu, Cheng Song, Xiufeng Han
Spintronics is based on the electrical manipulation of magnetic order through current-induced spin torques. In collinear antiferromagnets with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, binary states can be directly encoded in their opposite Néel order. The

Progress in development of characterization capabilities to evaluate candidate materials for direct air capture applications

Marcus Carter, Huong Giang Nguyen, Andrew Allen, Feng Yi, Wei-Chang Yang, Avery Baumann, William S. McGivern, Jeffrey A. Manion, Ivan Kuzmenko, Zois Tsinas, Charlotte Wentz, Malia Wenny, Daniel Siderius, Roger van Zee, Christopher Stafford, Craig Brown
As part of U.S. national efforts to combat the detrimental effect of global climate change, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was recently tasked to support efforts in direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide research and

Two-fluid model for nonlinear flow of wormlike micelle solutions. I: Model

November 1, 2024
Author(s)
Paul Salipante, Michael Cromer, Steven D. Hudson
We develop a rheological model to approximate the nonlinear rheology of wormlike micelles using two constitutive models to represent a structural transition at high shear rates. The model is intended to describe the behavior of semidilute wormlike micellar

Two-fluid model for nonlinear flow of wormlike micelle solutions. II: Experiment

November 1, 2024
Author(s)
Paul Salipante, Michael Cromer, Steven D. Hudson
Applications often expose wormlike micelle solutions to a very wide range of shear and temperature conditions. The two-species model presented in Part I [Salipante et al., J. Rheol. 68 (2024)] describes the nonlinear rheology over a wide range of shear

Microstructure and mechanical properties of laser powder bed fusion Ti-6Al-4V after HIP treatments with varied temperatures and cooling rates
