LiCl-KCl-CeCl3熔盐结构与热力学的分子动力学模拟

采用分子动力学模拟的方法,研究了LiCl-KCl-CeCl₃熔盐中CeCl₃的结构性质和热力学,获得了LiCl-KCl-CeCl₃熔盐中密度与组成、密度与温度的关系数据;径向分布函数g_Ce-Cl(r)的第一个峰位置为0.259nm, Ce³⁺对应的第一个配位数约为6.9;混合熔盐中计算数据与纯熔盐中数据的差异可以解释为混合熔盐中Ce³⁺和Cl^-的相互作用比纯的CeCl₃更强; LiCl-KCl熔盐中Ce³⁺的自扩散活化能为22.5 kJ·mol^-1,从活化能的本质来说, Ce³⁺自扩散所需要克服的能垒要略低于U³⁺(25.8 kJ·mol^-1)。当Ce³⁺的摩尔分数从0.005增加到0.05时,其指前因子从31.9×10^-5 cm²·s^-1减少到21.8×10^-5 cm²·s^-1;随着Ce³⁺摩尔分数从0.005增长到0.05,单位体积内(忽略总体积的变化)Ce³⁺的增加意味着其扩散阻力增加,而自扩散的能力降低,导致了指前因子的减小。     

Microstructure and hardening effect of pure tungsten and ZrO2 strengthened tungsten under carbon ion irradiation at 700℃

Microstructure evolution and hardening effect of pure tungsten and W-1.5%ZrO₂ alloy under carbon ion irradiation are investigated by using transmission electron microscopy and nano-indentation. Carbon ion irradiation is performed at 700 ℃ with irradiation damages ranging from 0.25 dpa to 2.0 dpa. The results show that the irradiation defect clusters are mainly in the form of dislocation loop. The size and density of dislocation loops increase with irradiation damages intensifying. The W-1.5%ZrO₂ alloy has a smaller dislocation loop size than that of pure tungsten. It is proposed that the phase boundaries have the ability to absorb and annihilate defects and the addition of ZrO₂ phase improves the sink strength for irradiation defects. It is confirmed that the W-1.5%ZrO₂ alloy shows a smaller change in hardness than the pure tungsten after being irradiated. From the above results, we conclude that the addition of ZrO₂ into tungsten can significantly reduce the accumulation of irradiated defects and improve the irradiation resistance behaviors of the tungsten materials.     

铪-氘反应动力学研究

金属钛作为高真空环境下的贮氢材料，具有易氢脆和固氦能力差等固有缺陷。金属铪和钛同为VIB族元素，贮氢体积密度相近，但铪的吸氢体胀率（15％）远小于钛的（24%），因而可望在抗氢脆方面较钛有所改善。文中研究铪吸氘反应动力学，获得铪氘反应的速率常数和表观活化能，从而评价铪吸氘的动力学性能。

中子散射技术在化学研究中的应用

中子散射在化学、软物质、基础物理、地球科学、工程等领域应用广泛,在不同领域的科学探索过程中发挥了关键作用.中子具有不带电荷、穿透能力强、对轻元素敏感、能够进行无损检测等特点.一方面,弹性中子散射在氢元素富集的化学材料体系、高分子体系、生物大分子等体系的结构研究中独具优势;另一方面,非弹性中子散射测量的能量、散射矢量范围与这类材料体系的时间、空间尺度吻合,非常适合化学过程的动力学研究.本文将通过结合中国绵阳研究堆(CMRR)中子散射平台上的应用实例,重点介绍国内外利用小角中子散射、中子反射、中子衍射、非弹/准弹性中子散射等代表性技术在化学反应机理研究、溶液中的化学过程、高分子化学、生物化学、材料化学、核化学和放射化学等领域的典型应用及前景.     

Ti-Hf合金的结构和吸氘热力学性质

采用磁悬浮法制备了4种TiHfx,(x=0.13,0.26,0.52,1.03)二元合金。利用X射线衍射技术对纯钛、纯铪和4种成分Ti-Hf二元合金吸氘前后的物相结构、晶胞参数和吸氘特性进行了研究。Ti-Hf合金吸氘前均为六方密堆结构,饱和吸氘后形成较单一的面心四方ε相氘化物。随Hf含量增加,Ti-Hf合金及其ε相氘化物的晶胞参数均呈增大趋势。压强-组成等温线显示,Hf含量增加将导致氘化物室温平衡压升高,Ti-Hf合金热力学性质趋近于H-Hf体系,Hf对Ti-Hf合金氘化物热力学性质起主导作用。Hf掺杂显著降低了Ti吸氘的体膨胀,从而有望缓解由于体胀导致的氢脆现象。     

Fabrication processing effects on the microstructure and morphology of erbium film

The effect of substrate temperature on the microstructure and the morphology of erbium film are systematically investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). All the erbium films are grown by electron-beam vapor deposition (EBVD). A novel preparation method for observing the cross-section morphology of the erbium film is developed. The films deposited at 200°C have (002) preferred orientation, and the films deposited at 450°C have a mixed (100) and (101) texture, due to the different growth mechanisms of surface energy minimization and recrystallization, respectively. The peak positions and the full widths at half maximum (FWHMs) of erbium diffraction lines (100), (002), and (101) shift towards higher angles and decrease with the increasing substrate temperature in a largely uniform manner, respectively. Also, the lattice constants decrease with increasing temperature. The transition in the film stresses can be used to interpret the changes in peak positions, FWHMs, and lattice constants. The stress is compressive for the as-growth films, and is counteracted by the tensile stress formed during the process of temperature cooling to room temperature. The tensile stress mainly originates from the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion of the substrate-film couple.     

Trapping Behavior of He in Ti Revisited by ab initio Calculations

We report a detailed ab initio study of the trapping behavior of interstitial helium atoms （IHAs） in hcp Ti. The tetrahedral interstitial site for one He is confirmed to be the most stable IHA configuration, but the most favorable interstitial site comprises two adjacent octahedral sites for two helium atoms. The octahedral IHA can trap another IHA regardless of the site where it is initially located, whereas the tetrahedral IHA cannot. Hybridization among the different states is responsible for the stable order, which has significant implications for He clustering and bubble nucleation that can affect material performance in future fusion reactors. These results provide the basis for the development of improved atomistic models.     

Zr-4合金压缩形变行为的研究

密排六方结构的Zr呈现弹塑性各向异性,轧制工艺会使材料内部产生晶间应力.准确地评估Zr合金内部的晶间应力分布并明确其微观形变机制,对其服役能力和使用寿命的准确评判具有重要的科学意义和应用价值.利用中子原位衍射技术结合弹塑性自洽(EPSC)模拟分析了Zr-4合金的压缩形变行为,加载方式为沿轧板厚度方向压缩.研究中辅以非原位的背散射电子衍射测试进行织构演化分析及透射电镜(TEM)测试分析缺陷形态.EPSC模拟可以定量地给出不同形变量下的形变机制,并且计算结果可由TEM实验佐证.研究表明:当形变量较小(0.55%)时,柱面{10ˉ10}?11ˉ20?(?a?型)滑移起主导作用;随着塑性形变量的增加,锥面滑移的作用增强,且锥面{10ˉ11}?11ˉ23?(?c+a?型)滑移的作用大于柱面{10ˉ10}?11ˉ20?(?a?型)滑移,少量的锥面{10ˉ11}?11ˉ20?(?a?型)和{10ˉ12}?11ˉ20?(?a?型)滑移也存在.
