Abstract It is known that once flash has been triggered with furnace heating, specimens can be held in the state of constant flash, or Stage III, outside at ambient temperature. The maintained by current flowing through specimen. We show this in‐flash further preserved when specimen immersed into liquid nitrogen. Furthermore, we nature material existing III quenched turning off power to while it still immersion. Normally, during cool, revert their original turned off. However,...
Abstract Recent results from molecular dynamics simulations have shown that significant concentrations of Frenkel pairs can be introduced by the proliferation phonons lying at edge Brillouin zone and when above Debye temperature. Following work Granato (2014 Eur. Phys. J. B 87 18) we extend those calculations to influence Frenkels on elastic modulus. Significant softening is predicted which confirmed in situ measurements modulus during flash. been proposed play a central role flash phenomena.
Sodium metal-based batteries have been identified as an exciting new solution to the challenge of Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) applications. Enlighten Innovations, Inc. (EII) has developed a novel, low-cost Metal – Polysulfide Flow Battery (SPFB) enabled by its proprietary NaSICON (Sodium Super Ionic Conductor) ceramic solid-state separator. EII's SPFB truly decouples energy and power, unlike other batteries. operates at intermediate temperatures (below 125° C) enabling use materials...
Once triggered by the application of electric field and furnace heating, a polycrystal can be held in constant state flash with switched off. The specimen temperature now controlled current flowing through it. We report on measurement elastic modulus 3 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia such flash. Significant softening is measured. decline steepens temperature. In contrast nominal tends to stabilize at higher temperatures. mechanical damping increases under experiments were done activating...
We report in-situ measurements of the elastic modulus dense polycrystalline zirconia held in a constant state flash, i.e. during Stage III flash experiments. The modulus, measured with and without is lowered by 10 - 35 %, temperature range 1100-1400 oC. specimen temperature, pyrometer, was consistent estimate from black body radiation model. These echo recent publications on role phonons onset namely Debye as lower bound for formation Frenkel pairs molecular dynamics calculations...
