    Deformation behavior of metallic glass composites reinforced with shape memory nanowires studied via molecular dynamics simulations
    (Melville, NY : American Inst. of Physics, 2015) Şopu, D.; Stoica, M.; Eckert, J.
    Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the deformation behavior and mechanism of Cu64Zr36 composite structures reinforced with B2 CuZr nanowires are strongly influenced by the martensitic phase transformation and distribution of these crystalline precipitates. When nanowires are distributed in the glassy matrix along the deformation direction, a two-steps stress-induced martensitic phase transformation is observed. Since the martensitic transformation is driven by the elastic energy release, the strain localization behavior in the glassy matrix is strongly affected. Therefore, the composite materials reinforced with a crystalline phase, which shows stress-induced martensitic transformation, represent a route for controlling the properties of glassy materials.

    Preparation, analysis, and application of coated glass targets for the Wendelstein 7-X laser blow-off system
    (Melville, NY : American Inst. of Physics, 2020) Wegner, Th.; Geiger, B.; Foest, R.; Jansen van Vuuren, A.; Winters, V. R.; Biedermann, C.; Burhenn, R.; Buttenschön, B.; Cseh, G.; Joda, I.; Kocsis, G.; Kunkel, F.; Quade, A.; Schäfer, J.; Schmitz, O.; Szepesi, T.
    Coated glass targets are a key component of the Wendelstein 7-X laser blow-off system that is used for impurity transport studies. The preparation and analysis of these glass targets as well as their performance is examined in this paper. The glass targets have a high laser damage threshold and are coated via physical vapor deposition with μm thick films. In addition, nm-thin layers of Ti are used as an interface layer for improved ablation efficiency and reduced coating stress. Hence, the metallic or ceramic coating has a lateral homogeneity within 2% and contaminants less than 5%, being optimal for laser ablation processing. With this method, a short (few ms) and well defined pulse of impurities with about 1017 particles can be injected close to the last closed flux surface of Wendelstein 7-X. In particular, a significant amount of atoms with a velocity of about 1 km/s enters the plasma within 1 ms. The atoms are followed by a negligible concentration of slower clusters and macro-particles. This qualifies the use of the targets and applied laser settings for impurity transport studies with the laser blow-off system in Wendelstein 7-X. © 2020 Author(s).
