Quantifying Multidimensional Transport Effects on Permeability Inference in FLiBe Systems Using a Validation-Informed Modeling Framework
Huihua Yang, Abhishek Saraswat, Weiyue Zhou +6
Permeability of hydrogen isotopes in molten salts is commonly inferred from permeation experiments using simplified one-dimensional interpretations, which may not capture the coupl…
Permeation behaviour of hydrogen isotopes in molten FLiBe (2LiF-BeF2): Identifying sources of uncertainty and associated measurement challenges
Abhishek Saraswat, Weiyue Zhou, Nayoung Kim +7
This paper presents results from systematic investigations conducted in the HYPERION facility to quantify permeabilities of hydrogen isotopes in FLiBe over a temperature range of 7…
Accounting for the length-scale dependence of thermal diffusivity in 3C-SiC measured with transient thermal gratings
Keshav Vasudeva, Samuel Huberman, Angus P. C. Wylie +7
Pump-probe optical methods like transient grating spectroscopy (TGS) enable rapid, nondestructive thermoelastic property measurements. But, in phonon-dominated ceramics, they can u…
BABY 1L: First Tritium Breeding Campaign Results
Rémi Delaporte-Mathurin, Nikola Goles, Collin Dunn +8
Achieving tritium self-sufficiency is a critical challenge for future fusion power plants. The BABY 1L experiment, part of the LIBRA project at MIT, aims to benchmark tritium breed…
Tuning chiral anomaly signature in a Dirac semimetal via fast-ion implantation
Manasi Mandal, Eunbi Rha, Abhijatmedhi Chotrattanapituk +13
CdAs is a prototypical Dirac semimetal that hosts a chiral anomaly and thereby functions as a platform to test high-energy physics hypotheses and to realize energy efficien…
