Flash-x-ray-diffraction patterns (FXD) with an exposure time of 4 ns of NaCl single crystals compressed by plane shock waves are obtained at pressures of about 30 kbar. From the diffraction patterns the compression is determined and compared with Hugoniot data. During shock load the lattice shows an uniaxial compression. While in case of measurements at the free surface an observation time of only a few nanoseconds is available, this experimental set-up allows an observation time of two microseconds.

AbstractAs a result of interest stemming from shock wave studies carried out at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, we have developed a capability to conduct x-ray diffraction studies in submicrosecond time intervals. This involves the use of a low impedance flash x-ray device. While there are many applications to which these techniques can be put, our first experiments deal with samples undergoing shock wave compression. These particular experiments are conducted by synchronizing a 40 to 50 nsec flash x-ray device to a shock front which is produced by the detonation of a high explosive placed in contact with a sample. Diffracted radiation is usually recorded on very sensitive film protected by a blast cassette. Thus far we have subjected lithium fluoride, aluminum, and carbon to pressures in the range of 100 to 300 kbar. Either powder or single crystal samples can be used. The principal difficulties of this experiment are the lack of sufficient intensity and the synchronization of the x-ray pulse to the shock front.

Freeze-etching electron microscopy is currently one of the best methods for studying molecular organization of biological materials. Its application, however, is still limited by our imprecise knowledge about the perturbations of the original organization which may occur during quenching and fracturing of the samples and during the replication of fractured surfaces. Although it is well known that the preservation of the molecular organization of biological materials is critically dependent on the rate of freezing of the samples, little information is presently available concerning the nature and the extent of freezing-rate dependent perturbations of the original organizations. In order to obtain this information, we have developed a method based on the comparison of x-ray diffraction patterns of samples before and after freezing, prior to fracturing and replication.Our experimental set-up is shown in Fig. 1. The sample to be quenched is placed on its holder which is then mounted on a small metal holder (O) fixed on a glass capillary (p), whose position is controlled by a micromanipulator.

AbstractA novel rapid densification technique for fabrication of bulk shape YBa2Cu307–xsuperconductor is presented. The Ceracon process is a one‐step, quasi‐isostatic consolidation route utilizing conventional P/M equipment and set‐up. The Ceracon technology has enabled successful fabrication of bulk, shapes such as discs, cylinders, hollow cylinders and spheres along with significant increases in the density up to 95‐98% of the theorertical. The superconducting volume fraction is preserved due to short hold times at the operating temperatures and avoidance of high processing temperatures. Results based on densities, microstructure, susceptibility measurements, X‐ray diffraction patterns and TGA measurements are discussed.

One of the multiple capabilities of the new Joint Engineering, Environmental and Processing (JEEP) beamline I12 at Diamond Light Source is the set-up for polychromatic high-energy X-ray diffraction for the study of polycrystalline deformation and residual stresses. The results and interpretation of the first experiments carried out on JEEP are reported. Energy dispersive diffraction patterns from titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V were collected using the new 23-cell ‘horseshoe’ detector and interpreted using Pawley refinement to determine the residual elastic strains at the macro- and meso-scale. It provides a clear demonstration of the tensile-compressive hardening asymmetry of the hexagonal close-packed grains oriented with the basal plane perpendicular to the loading direction.
