The FeCoNiCrTi high-entropy alloys fabricated by vacuum arc melting method, and the annealed pristine material, are face centered cubic structures with coherent γ' precipitation. Samples were irradiated with 50 keV He ions to a fluence of 2 × 10 ions/cm at 723 K, and an in situ annealing experiment was carried out to monitor the evolution of helium bubbles during heating to 823 and 923 K. The pristine structure of FeCoNiCrTi samples and the evolution of helium bubbles during in situ annealing were both characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The annealing temperature and annealing time affect the process of helium bubbles evolution and formation. Meanwhile, the grain boundaries act as sinks to accumulate helium bubbles. However, the precipitation phase seems have few effects on the helium bubble evolution, which may be due to the coherent interface and same structure of γ' precipitation and matrix.

When drying hands with a high-speed air jet dryer, the jet impingement on hands can quickly atomize the remnant water on the hand skins into droplets and aerosols. Emission of droplets and liquid aerosols, their spatial transport and the possible inhaling exposure to the hand dryer user remain unclear. This investigation measured the jet flows from a downward air jet dryer, by the particle image velocimetry (PIV), the helium bubble trajectory analysis, and an ultrasonic anemometer.

Article Synopsis
  • Landau introduced the concept of rotons to explain superfluid liquid helium, which are quantum particle excitations associated with the disordered arrangement of atoms.
  • The study demonstrates the existence of electronic rotons in a two-dimensional dipole liquid of alkali-metal ions interacting with black phosphorus, showcasing a unique energy minimum in their dispersion.
  • As dipole density decreases, the interactions become more significant, leading to Wigner crystallization, with our findings highlighting the role of strong correlations in the formation of electronic rotons and a pseudogap.

Atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy at liquid helium temperatures for quantum materials.

Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973, USA.

Fundamental quantum phenomena in condensed matter, ranging from correlated electron systems to quantum information processors, manifest their emergent characteristics and behaviors predominantly at low temperatures. This necessitates the use of liquid helium (LHe) cooling for experimental observation. Atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy combined with LHe cooling (cryo-STEM) provides a powerful characterization technique to probe local atomic structural modulations and their coupling with charge, spin and orbital degrees-of-freedom in quantum materials.

Beryllium (Be) has been selected as the solid neutron multiplier material for a tritium breeding blanket module in ITER, which is also the primary option of the Chinese TBM program. But the irradiation swelling of beryllium is severe under high temperature, high irradiation damage and high doses of transmutation-induced helium. Advanced neutron multipliers with high stability at high temperature are desired for the demonstration power plant (DEMO) reactors and the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR).
