Daniel S. Hussey, Christoph W. Brocker, David L. Jacobson, Thomas R. Gentile, Wangchun Chen, Elias M. Baltic, DV Baxter, J. Doskow, Muhammad D. Arif
The NIST neutron imaging program will build a new imaging instrument in the NCNR guide hall at the end of the neutron guide NG-6, beginning operation in summer of 2014. The NG-6 guide has a spectrum that is strongly peaked at a neutron wavelength of 5 Å

Neutron Interferometric Measurement of the Scattering Length Difference Between the Triplet and Singlet States of N-3 He.

This in-situ study examines the water content in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) using neutron radiography. Various conditions such as different polytetraflouroethylene (PTFE) loadings in the gas diffusion media including the micro-porous layer (MPL

Demonstration of Achromatic Cold-Neutron Microscope Utilizing Axisymmetric Focusing Mirrors.

April 21, 2013
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, D. Liu, M. V. Gubarev, D Ramsey, David L. Jacobson, Muhammad D. Arif, D. E. Moncton, B. Khaykovich
An achromatic cold-neutron microscope with magnification 4 is demonstrated. The image-forming optics is made of nested coaxial mirrors of full figures of revolution, so-called Wolter optics. The spatial resolution, field of view, and depth of focus are

High-resolution neutron radiography of through-plane liquid water distribution in polymer electrolyte membrane and gas diffusion layer

August 14, 2012
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Richard Fu, Ugur Pasaogullari, Takeshi Shiomi, Yuichiro Tabuchi
We re-investigate our previously studied water transport phenomena under nonisothermal conditions by measuring the through-plane liquid water distribution across PEFC components with the state-of-the-art high-resolution neutron radiography. A corrective

Probing the Water Content in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells Using Neutron Radiography

May 8, 2012
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, Jeffrey Mishler, Yun Wang, Rangachary Mukundan, Jacob Spendelow, Rodney Borup
This in-situ study examines the water content in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) using neutron radiography. Various conditions such as different polytetraflouroethylene (PTFE) loadings in the gas diffusion media including the micro-porous layer (MPL

In Situ Neutron Techniques for Studying Lithium Ion Batteries

May 1, 2012
Author(s)
Howard Wang, Robert Gregory Downing, Joseph Dura, Daniel S. Hussey
We review in situ neutron techniques for studying lithium ion batteries. Four neutron measurement techniques, neutron depth profiling (NDP), neutron reflectivity (NR), small angle neutron scattering (SANS), and neutron imaging (NI) are discussed in this

Direct Measurement of Lithium Transport in Graphite Electrodes with Neutrons

April 1, 2012
Author(s)
David Jacobson, Jeffrey J. Gagliardo, Jon P. Owejan, Stephen J. Harris, Howard Wang, Daniel Hussey
Lithium intercalation into graphite electrodes is widely studied, but few direct in-situ diagnostic methods exist. Such diagnostic methods are desired as they will enable researchers to probe the influence of factors such as charge rate, electrode

Neutron Imaging of Lithium Concentration in Battery Pouch Cells

March 23, 2011
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Jason B. Siegel, C. D. Stefan, Xinfan Lin, David Gorsich
This paper shows how neutron radiography can be used for in situ quantification of the lithium concentration across battery electrodes, a critical physical system state. The change in lithium concentration between the charged and discharged states of the

Changing Optical Axis Due To Reactor Operation

January 12, 2011
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Elias M. Baltic
During reactor operation, the neutron flux distribution is modified by the reactor control mechanisms, in the case of the reactor at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, this is determined by the angular position of the Cd shim arms and the

WATER TRANSPORT ACROSS A POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANE UNDER THERMAL GRADIENTS

January 11, 2011
Author(s)
David L. Jacobson, Richard Fu, Takeshi Shiomi, Ugur Pasaogullari, Joshua Preston, Shinichi Miyazaki, Yuichiro Tabuchi, Daniel S. Hussey
A fundamental experimental and numerical study of the water transport across a perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) membrane under a temperature gradient is presented. The water transport phenomenon was experimentally investigated through water flux measurement

Neutron Imaging Studies of Metal-Hydride Storage Beds

December 1, 2010
Author(s)
David Jacobson, Daniel Hussey, Elias Baltic, Terrence J. Udovic, John J. Rush, Robert C. Bowman
Neutron radiography and tomography were used to study the transient and steady-state distributions, respectively, of hydrogen within a prototypical, LaNi4.78Sn0.22-based hydrogen storage bed during and after various absorption and desorption steps. It was

Neutron imaging has been a unique, precise, measurement tool for water transport in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), enabling the direct measurement of the water distribution in standard, commercially viable fuel cell hardware. Thus, in the

Electrically-stimulated gradients in water and counterion concentrations within electroactive polymer actuators

Kevin Coakley, Dominic F. Vecchia, Daniel S. Hussey
In a fuel cell, water is formed as a by-product of the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. As a neutron beam passes through a fuel cell, it can undergo s-wave scattering. For the dry and wet states of a fuel cell, there are spatially varying neutron
