We describe two orthogonal radiography geometries at the OMEGA EP laser facility, which we refer to as side-on and face-on radiography. This setup can be used to determine quantitative information about the areal densities in solid, particulate, or liquid samples. We show sample images from these two different platforms that use the radiography diagnostic, one of material microjetting by the Richtmeyer-Meshkov instability and one of a deforming tin sample by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, demonstrating the versatile applicability of such measurements in the field of high-energy density physics. The analytical methodology behind the quantitative Rayleigh-Taylor face-on radiography is also demonstrated and can be applied to other types of samples.

Transition metal nitrides have extensive applications, including magnetic storage devices, hardware resistance coatings, and low-temperature fuel cells. This study investigated the structural, electrical, and mechanical properties of thin zirconium nitride (ZrN) films by examining the effects of laser irradiation times. Thin ZrN films were deposited on glass substrates using pulsed DC magnetron sputtering and irradiated with a diode laser for 6 and 10 min.

A laser particle analyzer (Malvern Instruments Analysis) was used to determine that the particle sizes of the raw SSP, SP, and FGD materials were concentrated between 5 and 40 μm, indicating that they were fine-grained minerals. SSP and SP are highly active alkaline substances.

This study investigates the fabrication of phase change material-poly(butylene adipate--terephthalate) (PCM-PBAT) composites through melt blending techniques, focusing on the impact of isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) treatment on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) treatment on aluminum nitride (AlN) particles. Analysis of mechanical properties highlights an enhancement in tensile strength with APTES-treated AlN particles, while dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) reveals an increase in stiffness. Laser flash analysis (LFA) investigation demonstrates a significant increase, up to 325%, in thermal conductivity compared to PCM-PBAT composites without filler.

Diffusion-dominated mix in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is characterized where the majority of the mix occurs in the immediate fuel-shell interface while hydrodynamic-dominated mix pulls shell material from farther away into the central fuel. A thin (150 nm) separated reactants ICF mix platform is highly sensitive to the amount of mix from the first micron of shell-fuel interface. This fine-spatial resolution platform has revealed that material mix in moderate convergence (CR∼12) ICF implosions is dominated by a diffusion mechanism.

Proton radiography is a central diagnostic technique for measuring electromagnetic (EM) fields in high-energy-density, laser-produced plasmas. In this technique, protons traverse the plasma where they accumulate small EM deflections which lead to variations in the proton fluence pattern on a detector. Path-integrated EM fields can then be extracted from the fluence image through an inversion process.
