Computer simulation of porosity nucleation during implantation of inert gas ions and vapor condensation in a discharge plasma is based on the equations of the kinetic theory of the initial stage of the phase transition - fluctuation nucleation.

ABSTRACTA modification of the conventional inert gas condensation apparatus for making nanostructured powders, wherein as evaporative source is replaced by a chemical source, is described. The new chemical synthetic process, called chemical vapor condensation(CVC), combines rapid thermal decomposition and expansion of a precursor/carrier gas stream in a hot tubular reactor with rapid condensation of the product particle species on a cold substrate under a reduced inert gas pressure of 1-50 mbar. The process has been used to synthesize loosely agglomerated nanoparticles (6 to 10 nm) of n-SiCxNy, starting from hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) as precursor compound. The phase, morphology, and composition of n-SiCxNy powders can be modified by heat treatment. β-SiC particles with grain size less than 10 nm form after annealing at 1300°C in flowing Ar. In a 1:1 NH3/H2 mixture n-SiCxNy powders transform into α-Si3N4 whiskers, with [100] growth direction.

The swelling of irradiated UO2 has been attributed to the migration and agglomeration of fission gas bubbles in a thermal gradient. High temperatures and thermal gradients obtained by electron beam heating simulate reactor behavior and lead to the postulation of swelling mechanisms. Although electron microscopy studies have been reported on UO2, two experimental procedures have limited application of the results: irradiation was achieved either with a stream of inert gas ions without fission or at depletions less than 2 x 1020 fissions/cm3 (∼3/4 at % burnup). This study was not limited either of these conditions and reports on the bubble characteristics observed by transmission and fractographic electron microscopy in high density (96% theoretical) UO2 irradiated between 3.5 and 31.3 x 1020 fissions/cm3 at temperatures below l600°F. Preliminary results from replicas of the as-polished and etched surfaces of these samples were published.

For many years amorphous metallic alloys have been prepared by rapid quenching techniques such as vapor condensation or melt quenching. Recently, solid-state reactions have shown to be an alternative for synthesizing amorphous metallic alloys. While solid-state amorphization by ball milling and high energy particle irradiation have been investigated extensively, the growth of amorphous phase by cold-rolling has been limited. This paper presents a morphological and structural study of amorphization of Cu and Ti foils by rolling.Samples of high purity Cu (99.999%) and Ti (99.99%) foils with a thickness of 0.025 mm were used as starting materials. These thin foils were cut to 5 cm (w) × 10 cm (1), and the surface was cleaned with acetone. A total of twenty alternatively stacked Cu and Ti foils were then rolled. Composite layers following each rolling pass were cleaned with acetone, cut into half and stacked together, and then rolled again.
