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…

Finding Trafficked Radiological Materials via Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering

Brianna N Ryan, Harold Douglas Pinckney D Pinckney, Michael P Short +1

The potential to use neutrinos for nuclear non-proliferation has been heavily debated due to the tension between production abundance and low interaction rate. A newly detected neu…
