Abstract The local structure of Ta(V) in high-temperature fluoride- and chloride-bearing acidic solutions was investigated using in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). All XAS spectra were collected from two solutions, designated A and B, at beamline ID-20-C at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory. Spectra were collected from solution A at 350 and 400 °C and from solution B at 25, 360, and 400 °C after the solutions were sealed in a hydrothermal diamond anvil cell. Solution A was prepared by dissolving Ta2O5 powder in 5% HF solution; solution B consisted of TaCl5 dissolved in 2% HF. The dominant tantalum species in solution A at elevated temperatures was TaF83–. In contrast, TaCl6–, which was the dominant complex in solution B at room temperature, disappeared as hydroxide complexes with an average ligand number between 5 and 7 became the dominant species at 350 and 400 °C. The XAS results confirm the previously recognized effect of fluoride activity on Ta speciation in hydrothermal fluids and suggest that both fluoride and hydroxide complexes play an important role in the transport of Ta in acidic fluoride-bearing solutions involved in the formation of mineralized mica-rich replacement units in granitic pegmatites.

ABSTRACTWe describe the multi-anvil, large-volume, high-pressure facility that is being constructed at the GeoSoilEnviroCARS (Sector 13) at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory. Various multi-anvil, high-pressure apparatus will be used to cover pressure and temperature conditions up to 40 GPa and 3000 °C, respectively, with milimeter to centimeter sized samples. This national facility is open to all users, providing excellent opportunities for high pressure, high temperature experiments.

Sound velocity and equation of state of liquids provide important constraints on the generation, presence, and transport of silicate and metallic melts in the Earth’s interior. Unlike their solid counterparts, these properties of liquids pose great technical challenges to high-pressure measurements and are poorly constrained. Here we present the technical developments that have been made at the GSECARS beamline 13-ID-D of the Advanced Photon Source for the past several years for determination of sound velocity of liquids using the ultrasonic techniques in a 1000-ton Kawai-type multianvil apparatus. Temperature of the sound velocity measurements has been extended to ~2400 K at 4 GPa and ~2000 K at 8 GPa to enable studies of liquids with very high melting temperatures, such as the silicate liquids.

AbstractThe time-temperature-transformation (TTT) curve for the δ → α′ isothermal martensitic transformation in a Pu-1.9 at. % Ga alloy exhibits an anomalous double-C curve. Recent work suggests that an ambient temperature conditioning treatment enables the lower-C curve. However, the mechanisms responsible for the double-C are still not fully understood. When the δ → α′ transformation is induced by pressure, an intermediate γ′ phase is observed in some alloys. It has been suggested that transformation at upper-C temperatures may proceed via this intermediate phase, while lower-C transformation progresses directly from δ to α′. To investigate the possibility of thermally induced transformation via the intermediate γ′ phase, in situ x-ray diffraction at the Advanced Photon Source was performed. Using transmission x-ray diffraction, the δ → α′ transformation was observed as a function of time and temperature in samples as thin as 30 μm. The intermediate γ′ phase was not observed at -120°C (upper-C curve) or -155 °C (lower-C curve). Results indicate that the bulk of the α′ phase forms relatively rapidly at -120 and -155 °C.

In the last decade, the potential of the pair distribution function (PDF) method as a versatile tool for materials characterization has expanded enormously, driven by accelerated data acquisition (from hours to sub-second) and the advent of dedicated PDF instruments, such as 11-ID-B at the Advanced Photon Source. New time-resolved, in-situ/operando, parametric, and combined experimental capabilities coupled with innovative model-independent approaches to data analysis are being developed to harness the growing potential of this methodology. For example, while the complex multicomponent architecture of batteries and their coupled electronic, chemical and structural transformations complicate investigations of functionality, through the development of new insitu PDF measurement capabilities and analytical approaches, we have been able to gain insight into the structure and reactivity of these electrochemical energy storage systems.[1] This presentation will describe recent studies of electrode reactions during cycling and the atomic structure of electrolytes.[2]

High speed imaging, including the ultrafast synchrotron X-ray imaging facility at the beamline 32-ID-B of the Advanced Photon Source (APS), was used to study in-situ (1) the dynamics of ultrasonic bubbles inside a water suspension with an acoustic field of varied pressure; and (2) the interaction of a pulsing bubble at a primary dendrite arm tip inside a succinonitrile-1wt% camphor organic transparent alloy. A simple finite element based model was developed to simulate the stress distribution inside the dendrite due to the pulsing of the ultrasonic bubble, providing more evidence for understanding quantitatively the ultrasonic wave induced dendrite fragmentation phenomenon.

The new TPS 44A beamline at the Taiwan Photon Source, located at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center, is presented. This beamline is equipped with a new quick-scanning monochromator (Q-Mono), which can provide both conventional step-by-step scans (s-scans) and on-the-fly scans (q-scans) for X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) spectroscopy experiments, including X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectral measurements. Ti and Te K-edge XAFS spectra were used to demonstrate the capability of collecting spectra at the limits of the working energy range. The Ni and Cu K-edge XAFS spectra for a Cu-doped Pt/Ni nanocomposite were acquired to test the performance of the newly commissioned beamline. Pt L 3- and Ru K-edge quick-scanning XAFS (QXAFS) spectra for standard Pt and Ru foils, respectively, revealed the stability of the q-scan technique. The results also demonstrated the beamline's ability to collect XAFS spectra on a sub-second timescale. Furthermore, a Zn(s)|Zn2+ (aq)|Cu(s) system was tested to indicate that the states of the Zn electrode could be observed in real time for charging and discharging conditions using an in situ/operando setup combined with QXAFS measurements.
