In-situ Characterization of Nanopowders during compaction using SANS and AC impedance spectroscopy

Rudzik T.J., Gerhardt R.A., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

Sintering is one of the primary methods of fabrication of ceramic materials. Therefore, a detailed understanding of the processing-property relationships for materials undergoing sintering is of great potential value. A new testing method combining small [...]

Neutron Scattering for Biological Research: Progress at the Bio-SANS Beam Line

Qian S., Pingali S.V., Weiss K., Urban V., O'Neill H.M., Langan P., Oak Ridge National Laboratory, US

Structure-function relationships remain a critical theme in understanding many important biological processes regarding energy, disease and other applications. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, home to two of the most powerful neutron sources for research High [...]

The distribution of nano size clusters in deformed FeCu alloy by small angle neutron scattering

Park D.G., Song H., Vertesy G., Kobayashi S., Takahashi S., Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), KR

Fe-Cu alloys are commonly used for a simulation of radiation damage of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) because a neutron irradiation enhances the copper rich precipitates (CRPs) with the sizes of several nanometer which is known [...]

Conformation of pH Responsive Alternating Copolymers and Self-Assembly in Nanoarchitectures

Chan A.S.W., Groves M., Malardier-Jugroot C., Royal Military College of Canada, CA

Our research focuses on the characterization of the association and the properties in aqueous solution of nanostructures composed of amphiphilic alternating copolymers. These copolymers are composed of a pH sensitive hydrophilic group, maleic anhydride alternating [...]
