The Computational Modeling of Alloys:From ab initio and thermodynamics to heterogeneous precipitation.

Description: In this lecture we presented a methodology to obtain free energies from empirical potentials and applied it to the study of the phase diagram of FeCr. Subsequently, we used Metropolis Monte Carlo to analyze homogeneous and heterogeneous precipitation of the Cr rich solid solution {alpha}{prime}. These examples are part of our work in the area of steels for nuclear applications and can be found in several publications of our group cited as References.

Four Papers by the Supernova Cosmology Project

Description: Our search for high-redshift Type Ia supernovae discovered, in its first years, a sample of seven supernovae. Using a 'batch' search strategy, almost all were discovered before maximum light and were observed over the peak of their light curves. The spectra and light curves indicate that almost all were Type Ia supernovae at redshifts z = 0.35 - 0.5. These high-redshift supernovae can provide a distance indicator and 'standard clock' to study the cosmological parameters q{sub 0}, {Lambda}, {Ome… more

Strategic forces: Future requirements and options

Description: In the wake of the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the apparent ending of the Cold War, there have been renewed calls for radical cuts in US strategic forces to levels far below the 10,000 or so warheads allowed each side under the current START proposal. Since it now appears that NATO for the first time will have the capability to defeat a Soviet conventional attack without the necessity of threatening to resort to nuclear weapons, this should pave the way for the rethinking of US strategy and… more

HANFORD REGULATORY EXPERIENCE REGULATION AT HANFORD A CASE STUDY

Description: Hanford has played a pivotal role in the United States' defense for more than 60 years, beginning with the Manhattan Project in the 1940s. During its history, the Hanford Site has had nine reactors producing plutonium for the United States' nuclear weapons program. All the reactors were located next to the Columbia River and all had associated low-level radioactive and hazardous waste releases. Site cleanup, which formally began in 1989 with the signing of the Hanford Federal Facility Agreement… more

Experimental determination of drag coefficients in low-density polyurethane foam

Description: We describe several experiments performed at the LLNL Site 300 firing range and on the LLNL 1/3 scale gun to investigate the deceleration of small projectiles (l {approx} 3-5 [mm]) in low-density foam ({rho} {approx} 0.08-0.32 [g/cm{sup 3}]). The experiments at the firing range researched a passive velocity diagnostic based on Faraday's law of induction, while experiments on the 1/3 scale gun investigated the effects of varying projectile surface area, projectile shape, and foam density on the … more

Options for the handling and storage of nuclear vessel spent fuel.

Description: There are many options for the handling and storage of spent nuclear fuel from naval vessels. This paper summarizes the options that are available and explores the issues that are involved. In many cases choices have been made, not on the basis of which is the best engineering solution or the most cost-effective, but based on the political realities involved. For example, currently it seems that the most prevalent solution for spent fuel interim storage is in dual-purpose (transport-storage) ca… more

Low-Lying Dirac Eigenmodes, Topological Charge Fluctuations and the Instanton Liquid Model

Description: The local structure of low-lying eigenmodes of the overlap Dirac operator is studied. It is found that these modes cannot be described as linear combinations of 't Hooft ''would-be'' zeromodes associated with instanton excitations that underly the Instanton Liquid Model. This implies that the instanton liquid scenario for spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in QCD is not accurate. More generally, our data suggests that the vacuum fluctuations of topological charge are not effectively dominated… more

Novel structural phenomena at the maximum T{sub c} in 123 and HgBa{sub 2}CuO{sub 4+{delta}} superconductors : evidence for a structural response that competes with superconductivity.

Description: Structural distortions that compete with superconductivity have been investigated in two systems where oxygen content can be used to vary the doping continuously from the under doped state, through the maximum T{sub c} into the over doped state. In the 123 system, (La{sub 1{minus}x}Ca{sub x})(Ba{sub 1.75{minus}x}La{sub 0.25+x})Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7+{delta}}, the buckling of the CuO{sub 2} planes goes through a maximum at the maximum T{sub c}. In HgBa{sub 2}CuO{sub 4+{delta}}, where buckling of the C… more

Ion-Beam-Induced Defects and Defect Interactions in Perovskite-Structure Titanates

Description: Ion-beam irradiation of perovskite structures results in the production and accumulation of defects. Below a critical temperature, irradiation also leads to a crystalline-to-amorphous transformation. The critical temperature for amorphization under 800 keV Kr{sup +} ion irradiation is 425,440 and 550 K for SrTiO{sub 3}, CaTiO{sub 3} and BaTiO{sub 3}, respectively. The results of ion-channeling studies on SrTiO{sub 3} irradiated with 1.0 MeV Au{sup 2+} ions suggest that the crystalline-to-amorph… more

Radiation Transport in Type IA Supernovae

Description: It has been said more than once that the critical link between explosion models and observations is the ability to accurately simulate cooling and radiation transport in the expanding ejecta of Type Ia supernovae. It is perhaps frustrating to some of the theorists who study explosion mechanisms, and to some of the observers too, that more definitive conclusions have not been reached about the agreement, or lack thereof, between various Type Ia supernova models and the data. Although claims of s… more
