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…

Detecting the Onset and Progression of Spinodal Decomposition using Transient Grating Spectroscopy
Maxwell Rae, Merrill Chiang, Mahmudul Islam +9
Spinodal decomposition can degrade corrosion resistance and embrittle materials. The ability to quickly, conclusively, and non-destructively detect the onset of spinodal decomposit…

A facility for thermo-mechanical characterization of fusion magnet materials during cryogenic ion irradiation
Akarsh Aurora, Alexis R Devitre, Angus PC Wylie +2
Commercial fusion power plants demand magnet materials that retain structural integrity and thermal conductivity while operating under the bombardment of energetic neutrons at cryo…
