ABSTRACTPreviously we reported a substantial (∼ 50 %) decrease in shear modulus prior to amorphization in Kr irradiated Zr3Al, and proposed that amorphization is triggered when the crystalline lattice becomes unstable against shear stress. In the present work, the relation between amorphization and shear elastic instability has been investigated in two additional compounds (FeTi and NiAl) during room temperature irradiation with 1.7-MeV Kr+. A shear modulus was measured using Brillouin scattering; structural information was obtained in situ in a high voltage electron microscope interfaced to a tandem accelerator.During irradiation of FeTi, chemical disordering and a large (∼40 %) decrease of shear modulus were observed, and an amorphous phase developed subsequently. In contrast, NiAl remained crystalline and chemically ordered during irradiation, and exhibited only a ∼ 10 % decrease in shear modulus. Hence, these two results provide further support that a shear instability triggers irradiation-induced amorphization. The shear instability mechanism may also apply to other solid-state amorphization techniques, e.g. hydrogen charging and mechanical deformation.

Brillouin imaging (BI) for micromechanical characterization of tissues and biomaterials is a fast-developing field of research with a strong potential for medical diagnosis of disease-modified tissues and cells. Although the principles of BI imply its compatibility with in vivo and in situ measurements, the integration of BI with a flexible catheter, capable of reaching the region of interest within the body, is yet to be reported. Here, for the first time, we experimentally investigate integration of the Brillouin spectroscope with standard optical fiber components to achieve a Brillouin endoscope. The performance of single-fiber and dual-fiber endoscopes are demonstrated and analyzed. We show that a major challenge in construction of Brillouin endoscopes is the strong backward Brillouin scattering in the optical fiber and we present a dual-fiber geometry as a possible solution. Measurements of Brillouin spectra in test liquids (water, ethanol and glycerol) are demonstrated using the dual-fiber endoscope and its performance is analyzed numerically with the help of a beam propagation model.

Many ordered intermetallic compounds become amorphous when irradiated at low temperatures with energetic particles. There is still no fundamental understanding of why some compounds but not others are susceptible to amorphization. However, recent studies indicate that a progressive loss of chemical long-range order (LRO) is a necessary, though not a sufficient condition for the crystal-to-glass transformation. To shed further light on the role of chemical disordering, our work has focused on correlating the structural effects of chemical disorder on the shear modulus of a number of LI2, B2, and A-15 type intermetallic compounds under irradiation conditions where some become amorphous and others remain crystalline.The Brillouin scattering technique was used to measure the change in the velocity of sound (Vs) relative to that of the unirradiated state (Vos) in Zr3Al, FeAl, FeTi, NiAl, and Nb3Ir during irradiation at 298 K with 1-MeV Kr+ ions. The corresponding changes in the Bragg-Williams LRO parameter (S/So), and lattice expansion (Δa/ao) were measured by means of electron diffracting during in-situ irradiation with 1-MeV Kr in the ANL high voltage electron microscope.

ABSTRACTThe elastic and anelastic properties of AgNi multilayers prepared by sputtering were investigated during the course of anneal cycles. The respective temperature variations of some of the elastic constants and moduli were followed by Brillouin scattering and dynamical methods based on use of a torsion pendulum and a vibrating-reed system. The last two enabled to investigate the internal damping associated with the presence of two-dimensional defects. It appears that the motion of interfaces and grain boundaries is inhibited by the high defect density. In contrast, substantial effects associated with the motion of the magnetic domain walls were evidenced. Concurrently, internal stresses were studied by in situ deflection measurements. Flow stress values on the order of 1 GPa were observed. Dilatometry experiments showed that a large part of the non-recoverable modifications in the state of stress induced by thermal cycling originates in the densification of the material.
