    Notes: Abstract We report on measurements of the tunneling conductance structures above the superconducting gap energy using YBa2Cu3O7 polycrystalline junctions. The measured second derivative data are reproducible among the junctions, and the intensities of the common structures at the biases of 37–38, 47–53, 67–77, and 94–95 mV are strong enough to be assigned. These structures are in agreement with those in the neutron phonon density of states in whole energy regions when the energies are measured from the gap edge of 26±1 meV. This correspondence indicates that the electron-phonon interaction contributes to the pairing mechanism of this superconductor.

    Notes: Abstract We present Raman scattering studies ofc-oriented ultrathin-layer superconducting (YBa2Cu3O7) m /(PrBa2Cu3O7) n superlattices. For the superlattice with (m=2,n=1) sequence, Raman spectra reveal a new line in the spectral region around 320 cm−1. It is interpreted as a mode representing a combination of IR optical phonons of the Y-sublayers with an admixture of aB 1g type Raman active vibration in the Pr sublayers. This new line, which is similar to those from the interior of the Brillouin zone of the original lattice, does not exhibit superconductivity-induced self-energy effects, although its counterpart in the pure substance does. No additional line is found in the (m=1,n=2) superlattice in the same region, supporting our interpretation for the (m=2,n=1) sample.

    Notes: Abstract Our technique of reactive thermal co-evaporation has been extended to fabricate large films (up to 4 in.) of YBa2Cu3O7 with high quality. A rotating substrate holder is used to separate the deposition and oxidation processes. This allows free access of the metal vapors. As large substrate wafers we use Al2O3, Si, and GaAs with buffer layers of CeO2, YSZ, and MgO, respectively. On all substrates, the uniformity of thickness and composition was better than 2%. Inductively measuredT c andj c (77 K) were 87.5±0.2 K and 〉1×106 A/cm2, respectively, across the full wafer area. This holds also for GaAs substrates due to a new procedure of capping by Si3N4.

    Temperature dependence of the infrared optical properties of YBa2Cu3O7: A plasmon damping model (1994)

    Notes: Abstract The temperature dependence observed in the mid- and near-infrared optical properties of YBa2Cu3O7 is explained in terms of the Drude model for free charge carriers. In the Drude model, the linear temperature dependence of the dc resistivity arises from the free charge carriers having a temperature-dependent mean free path. This temperature dependence results in the plasmon contribution to the dielectric constant having a damping coefficient which also varies linearly with temperature. We find that the temperature dependence which is observed in the absorption and reflection spectra of YBa2Cu3O7 is consistent with this simple model.

    Notes: Abstract The recent oxygen isotope effect measurement made in the system YBa2-x La x Cu3O7 (0≤x≤0.5) is analyzed using the “two-carrier” model which describes a superconducting system as a mass anisotropic system consisting of charge carriers with two different masses as a result of lattice defects or oxygen deficiency. The extent to which Ba, Cu, and O atoms participate in the phonon-mediated Cooper pairing interaction is elucidated. The relationship between the theoretically deduced mass anisotropic factor andT c agrees closely with the experimental results of Uemuraet al. [28]. Furthermore, the superconducting energy gap toT c ratio is found to be close to 3.5. Excellent agreement is also achieved between the theoretically calculated oxygen isotopic constant and the experimental results of Bornemann and Morris [12].

    Film thickness dependence of critical current density for YBa2Cu3O7 films post-annealed at a low oxygen partial pressure (1993)

    Notes: Abstract The variation of critical current density at 77 K as a function of film thickness was studied for YBa2Cu3O7 films on (100) LaAlO3 substrates. Film thicknesses were in the range 0.2–1.6μm. The films were deposited by co-evaporation and post-annealed under conditions which have previously resulted in high-quality films (750°C and an oxygen partial pressure of 29 Pa). The critical current density at 77 K exceeds 1 MA cm−2 for the thinner films, and decreases with increasing film thickness in excess of about 0.4μm. The decrease is in rough agreement with a switch fromc-axis toa-axis growth at about this critical thickness. A good anticorrelation was found between room temperature resistivity and critical current density at 77 K. The results are compared to those obtained before by post-annealing at 850°C in 1 atm of oxygen.

    Ultrasonic beam propagation through a bimetallic weld—A comparison of predictions of the Gauss-Hermite beam model and finite element method (1993)

    Topics: Electrical Engineering, Measurement and Control Technology , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract In this paper, predictions of two models for the propagation of ultrasonic beams through a two-dimensional, bimetallic weld geometry are compared. The finite element method can predict beam propagation through quite general geometry with high accuracy. This model, however, requires significant computational time. On the other hand, the approximate Gauss-Hermite model offers considerably greater computational speed, but has lower accuracy in certain regions and cannot treat the most general geometries and inhomogeneities in material properties. This paper compares the performances of the two models for the case of the two-dimensional, bimetallic weld consisting of multiple layers, some of which have anisotropic properties. It is found that the results of the two models are in good agreement in the vicinity of the central ray, and that the deviation increases as one moves away from the axis. Also, as the beam propagates through multiple interfaces, the accuracy of the Gauss-Hermite solution decreases.

    Notes: Abstract The paper investigates the transient response of a random medium as predicted by two methods, a perturbation scheme and a causal approach. It is shown by direct computation of a pulse propagation that the perturbation scheme yields an “advanced” response inconsistent with the physical realizability of the medium. The causal model as well as a modified perturbation scheme exhibit a physically reasonable behavior.

    Notes: Abstract A probabilistic neural network is used here to classify flaws in weldments from their ultrasonic scattering signatures. It is shown that such a network is both simple to construct and fast to train. Probabilistic nets are also shown to be able to exhibit the high performance of other neural networks, such as feed forward nets trained via back-propagation, while possessing important advantages of speed, explicitness of their architecture, and physical meaning of their outputs. Probabilistic nets are also demonstrated to have performance equal to common statistical approaches, such as theK-nearest neighbor method, while retaining their unique advantages.

    Analysis of nonlinearly viscoelastic behavior of adhesive bonds (1992)

    Topics: Electrical Engineering, Measurement and Control Technology , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract The purpose of this paper is to provide a theoretical framework to study the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of adhesive layers. The stress-strain behavior of the adhesive material in shear is assumed to have a nonlinear elastic part and a linear viscoelastic part, i.e., σ yx =f(ε yx )+K mεyx. To measuref(ε yx ) andK m by an ultrasonic technique, it is proposed to prestress the adhesive layer in the nonlinear range and to superimpose a small amplitude ultrasonic signal. The reflected field is used to obtain the wave speed and hencedf(ε yx )/dε yx as a function of the pre-stress. The viscoelastic parameter is obtained from the amplitude decay. By repeating this procedure for various values of prestress and using numerical integration, the stress-strain behavior of the adhesive layer can be reconstructed.

    Notes: Abstract The vapor pressures of theβ-diketonates Y(THD), Ba(THD), and Cu(THD), commonly used as precursors for MOVPE of YBa2Cu3O7, and Y(MCP) were measured at different temperatures. A time-resolved static method recording the pressure vs. time at constant temperature was used, permitting us to deduce the vapor pressure even if the materials tend to decompose. The values of the constants of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation log10p(T)/p 0=A-B/T are,A=11.7, 8.7, 8.27, 16.6 andB=4359, 2654, 3602, and 6453 K for Y(THD), Y(MCP), Ba(THD), and Cu(THD), respectively withp 0= 1 Pa and temperatureT in K. The thermal stability of the sources was measured and are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Post-annealing of thin films of YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) has been performed at 29 Pa and 750°C. For films 0.6 μm thick, a critical current density 〉1 MA cm−2 is obtained at 77 K, with a sharp eddy current response at 25 MHz. Microstructural investigation of these films by crosssectional and planar transmission electron microscopy reveals that the YBCO film has thec-axis normal to the plane of the substrate in a continuous sheet of varying thickness, frequently covering the entire thickness of the film. Mutually perpendicular rods with thec-axis in the plane of the LaAlO3 substrate are also seen. The microstructure and critical current density of these films are compared with those of previously reported films post-annealed in atmosphericpressure oxygen.

    Notes: Abstract The post-annealing method of producing thin films of YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) has taken on a new impetus due to the recent work showing that films of the highest quality can be made by using low partial pressures of oxygen during the annealing cycle. Here it is shown that for films produced by using BaF2 as a source material, the post-annealing procedure can be closely controlled by monitoring the F that evolves due to the water vapor reaction with BaF2. The use of an ion-sensitive electrode allowed small F evolution rates (about 1 ng s−1) to be detected above background, sufficient to measure the F evolution rate from even the smallest samples used. The time interval during which F evolves was found to increase with increasing YBCO film area being annealed.

    Elastic wave propagation with kinematic discontinuity along a non-ideal interface between two isotropic elastic half-spaces (1991)

    Notes: Abstract The problem of wave propagation along the interface between two elastic, isotropic, and homogeneous half-spaces is studied when the half-spaces are coupled through a vanishingly thin layer of Voigt material. It is assumed that the separation, 2H, between the half-spaces, and the complex rigidity-modulus, μ, of the layer are both vanishingly small, but the complex quantity μ/2H remains finite. In a series of experiments in which two blocks of elastic materials with or without lubricant/couplant at the interface are subjected to an external load normal to the interface, the variation of the speed and attenuation of interfacial waves, generated and detected by piezoelectric transducers, was measured as a function of external load. Assuming a nonlinear relation between external load and μ/2H, the experimental data is interpreted theoretically, and the best-fit parameters of the nonlinear relation are determined. For the 13 cases of interfaces studied, with or without lubricant/couplant, satisfactory agreement was found between experiment and theory, except in one case. Even in this case, the agreement is satisfactory in the lower range of load. It is hoped that this study will be useful in developing nondestructive methods of testing the bonding conditions at an interface between elastic materials by means of interfacial wave properties.

    Notes: Abstract The probability of detecting crack-like defects using ultrasonic techniques can be severely reduced if the crack is closed by a static background pressure. In this paper, we model the contacting faces of a partially closed crack by an array of circular spot-welds randomly distributed over an infinite plane. We give an exact derivation of the reflection and transmission coefficients for a plane elastic wave at such a boundary in terms of the mean interfacial stresses. The latter are estimated in the limit when the contact radius is much smaller than the wavelength and the contacts are sparsely distributed. This calculation is then related to a distributed spring model of the interface. The latter replaces the real interface by an effective homogeneous linear boundary condition which relates the crack opening displacement to the boundary stresses by effective stiffnesses. These unknown parameters are chosen to ensure that the model condition predicts the exact values of the mean interfacial stresses and the reflection and transmission coefficients in the limit already described. Our results are consistent with and complement those of Baik and Thompson(1) who introduced the distributed spring model in this and a number of other contexts. Our analysis provides a systematic assessment of the range of validity of the model and suggests ways in which the present estimates may be improved.

    Notes: Abstract Submicrometer epitaxial films of YBa2Cu3O7(YBCO) on (100) LaAlO3 were made by coevaporation and furnace annealing. Samples from more than a dozen runs are used in this study. The zero resistance transition temperature (T c) is high (89 or 90 K) if the film composition is phase pure (Ba/Y=2, Cu/Y=3) or if it is enriched in Ba and Cu. For these compositions the critical current density (J c) at 77 K has an average value of 2×105 A cm−2, with a tendency for decreasingJ c with increasing film thickness (0.2 to 0.8μm). Variations inJ c are not correlated with deviations from ideal stoichiometry. Steeper slopes of the resistance-temperature curves above 100 K and lower values of the room-temperature resistivity are associated with high values ofJ c. If the film composition is enriched in Y relative to Ba and Cu,T c decreases by several degrees.

    Notes: Abstract We have performed millimeter-wave frequency (94 GHz) measurements on high-quality YBa2Cu3O7-δ superconducting films on yttrium-stabilized (100) ZrO2 and MgO substrates. The ∼0.2μm thin films fabricated by magnetron sputteringin situ with the YBa2Cu3O7-δ powders as target exhibit superconducting transition temperatures up to 88 K. The critical current density of 6×105 A/cm2 at 77 K and the X-ray diffraction spectrum as well as scanning electron microscope photographs indicate these thin films are fullyc-axis oriented, extremely high in density, and universally homogeneous. Millimeter-wave surface resistances have been measured on a hemisphere open resonator in the temperature range of 20 K toT c and beyond. The surface resistance at 94 GHz and 77 K for these films is found to be about 30 mΩ, nearly 1/4 that for copper, and a drop of two orders in the surface resistance within 4 K is observed, which indicates that these films are good materials for applications in the millimeter-wave range, especially for fabricating microwave devices. We observed such low surface resistance in these thin films due to the near absence of grain and phase boundaries coupled with a high degree of crystalline orientation.

Zero resistance transition temperatures were 89–90 K. Both d.c. (room-temperature resistance and critical-current density) and a.c. parameters (extracted from eddy-current response measurements at 25 MHz) were monitored. The optimum temperature is close to 750°C, which is on the YBCO thermodynamic stability line at this low oxygen partial pressure.

    Notes: Abstract Critical issues are examined in the application of laser generation and detection of ultrasound to the inspection of large area air-frame composites. Among these issues are surface roughness, signal-to-noise ratio, insensitivity to the path length between the part and detector, and wide band vs. narrow-band generation. Demonstrated is the feasibility of transmission C-scans of 150 ply Gr/epoxy panels containing simulated delaminations. Waveforms having a signal-to-noise ratio of greater than 40 dB in 15-mm thick Gr/epoxy were obtained with generating laser powers well below the ablation limit for the graphite epoxy. Detection was shot-noise limited with a detector noise figure of about 5–10 dB.

    Notes: Abstract A comparison of the low magnetic field properties of sintered (990°C) and partially melted samples (1050°C) has been performed. Changes in the microstructure produced by recrystallization from the melt result in a significant increase in flux pinning at 77 K. Low-frequency (10–100 Hz), low-a.c. magnetic field (0.01–9.0 Oe) a.c. susceptibility data show that gross changes in the a.c. loss component accompanies the observed changes in microstructure. The effects of applied d.c. magnetic fields (10–220 Oe) on the a.c. responses of these microstructures have also been probed. Data are analyzed and critically discussed in terms of current models appropriate for granular superconductors and in terms of older models appropriate for metallic alloys and compounds. Particular attention is given to published interpretations of the in-phase or loss component of the a.c. magnetic susceptibility and to the possible roles which minority phases and sample inhomogeneities may play in determining the detailed a.c. responses of these high-T coxides.

    Notes: Abstract Self-consistent linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) method calculations of the band structure, density of states, Fermi surface, Coulomb potential, charge density, core-level shifts, and electron-phonon interaction are presented for Y1Ba2Cu3O7. The calculated Sommerfield parameterγ is 4.35 mJ(mole Cu)−1 K−2, roughly about a factor of 2 smaller than experimentally deduced values of the enhanced valueγ=(1 + λ)γ0, suggesting that the Fermi surface mass enhancement is of the order of unity. The crystal charge density is best represented by overlapping spherical ionic densities when the Cu and O ions are assigned charges of +1.62 and −1.69, respectively, corresponding to about 0.3 holes per oxygen atom. Core-level energies for the inequivalent atoms differ by as much as 0.45 eV for Cu and 0.7 eV for O, amounts which may be detectable by core-level spectroscopies. These results provide important information on the character and magnitude of ionic contributions to bonding in these materials. Within the rigid muffin-tin approximation, calculated McMillan-Hopfield parameters yield estimates for the electron-phonon strength λ that appear to be too small to account for the observedT c. We point out an unusual band of oxygen-derived chain states below, but within 0.1 eV of, the Fermi level.

    Notes: Abstract Ultrasonic wave reflection and transmission by planar crack distributions is considered. General expressions for the reflection and transmission coefficients are derived for incident longitudinal and transverse time harmonic plane waves. For low frequencies, closed-form algebraic expressions are given in terms of the geometrical parameters, the material constants, and the incident wavefield. The results have been extended to statistical distributions, and reflection coefficients for equivalent statistical and deterministic distributions of penny-shaped cracks are compared. It is also shown that the Mode-I stress-intensity factor for a distribution of equal-sized cracks can be directly related to reflection data.

    Notes: Abstract Measurements of supercurrent transport and current density in explosively fabricated superconducting prototypes have been erratic, with current densities measured to be in excess of 103 A/cm2. This erratic behavior appears to be related to the degree of consolidation achieved for Y-Ba-Cu-O powders and, more specifically, to the connectivity or interfacial structure at individual, contacting, superconducting particles. We have used SEM and TEM to characterize and illustrate some of these features in preliminary superconducting prototypes composed of Y-Ba-Cu-O powder channels consolidated and encapsulated in copper and aluminum matrices by explosively generated shock waves. Observations of grain boundaries and interface phase regions cast some light on the prospects for producing good connectivity through optimizing the consolidation process and process parameters as well as the elimination of surface reactions on particles prior to consolidation, or thermal effects during consolidation.

    Notes: Abstract High-quality, single-phase, polycrystalline samples of high-temperature superconducting 123 YBaCu-oxide have been processed by hot pressing of specially prepared charge material at elevated temperatures. The samples are orthorhombic with unit cell dimensionsa = 3.824(1) Å,b = 3.888(1) Å, andc = 11.679(2) Å. They exhibit: (i) densities up to 82% of the theoretical value; (2) a sharp phase transition between the normal and superconducting states at 91.6 K; (3) a reduced dependence on thermal cycling effects and on excitation currents in resistivity measurements; and (4) a reduction in surface deterioration due to water, air, and acid attack. The hot-pressed samples supported current densities at least two orders of magnitude greater than those found in cold-pressed samples measured under similar conditions.

    Notes: Abstract We have described the major features of the Fermi surfaces of the high-Tc cuprates. The description in momentum space and use of Fermiology allows us to analyze the large anisotropy and multiband structure of the new materials. These properties are crucial because of the extremely small values of the coherence length. The Fermi surface can be reconstructed with the use of experimental data. Based on this method, we have evaluated the parameters such as effective mass, Fermi energy, Fermi velocity, and coherence length and estimated them for La1.8Sr0.2CuO4 and Y1Ba2Cu3O7 with the use of heat capacity and Hall effect measurements.

    Notes: Abstract We have investigated the 9- and 10-GHz microwave properties of bulk samples of strontium and barium substituted La2CuO4 and YBa2Cu3O7 and one YBa2Cu3O7 MBE film on SrTiO3. Anomalous microwave absorption is seen especially for poorly compacted bulk ceramic samples. Transitions were generally broadened nearT c and the residual losses were high. The real part of the surface impedance could be fit belowT c to the empirical equation with an added term linear in temperature. The microwave response of the film was masked by paraelectric absorption and acoustic resonances in the substrate.

    Notes: Abstract CANDU pressurized heavy water reactors contain several hundred horizontally-mounted zirconium alloy pressure tubes. Following a pressure tube failure, a pressure tube inspection system called CIGARette was rapidly designed, manufactured and put in operation. Defects called hydride blisters were found to be the cause of the failure, and were detected using a combination of eddy current and ultrasonic scans. A number of improvements were made to CIGARette during the inspection period. The ORCHID computer program models the operation of the delivery system, eddy current and ultrasonic systems by imitating the on-reactor decision-making procedure. ORCHID predicts that during the early stage of development, less than one blistered tube in three would be detected, while less than one in two would be detected in the middle development stage. However, ORCHID predicts that during the late development stage, probability of detection will be over 90%, primarily due to the inclusion of axial ultrasonic scans (a procedural modification). Rotational and axial slip could severely reduce probability of detection. Comparison of CIGARette's inspection data with ORCHID's predictions indicate that the latter are compatible with the actual inspection results, though the numbers are small and data uncertain. It should be emphasized that the CIGARette system has been essentially replaced with the much more reliable CIGAR system.

    Notes: Abstract This paper describes the design and construction of a concrete strength ultrasonic digital meter. The method depends on the transmission and reception of two ultrasonic sinusoidal signals. These two signals are so processed so as to yield a digital output number representative of the speed of propagation through the concrete specimen. This velocity figure can be related to the applications on finding the concrete crush strength, concrete crack depth, as well as the concrete behavior with electrical curing temperature. The electronic system employs Complementary-Oxide Semiconductor logic circuits and hybrid conversion circuits. It consumes such a little power, which makes such a design transportable and hence a battery operated device.

    Ultrasonic characteristics of graphite/epoxy composite material subjected to fatigue and impacts (1986)

    Notes: Abstract Fiber-reinforced composites, because of their superior specific strengths and stiffnesses, are used in many aircraft components. However, in this application these composites are subjected not only to fatigue loading, but to occasionally high velocity impact due to the bird injection, hail, dust, and rain. Thus, it is important to evaluate the residual life and degradation due to combined fatigue and impact loadings. Unidirectional graphite epoxy composites (MA8276-Tiger) which are used in the aerospace industry were impacted by a free falling weight at energy levels of 0.567j, 1.134j, and 1.571j [impact energy toughness (j/cm3); 0.12, 0.24, 0.34], respectively. The subsequent changes/degradation in elastic moduli, strength, toughness, and fatigue properties were measured after different number of impacts. It was found that for all energy levels these properties vary linearly with the number of impacts. Furthermore, attenuation changes is not a good ultrasonic parameter for degradation estimation, since it does not incorporate the micro- and macrocracks beyond the impact point. However, these micro- and macrocracks have significant effect on the mechanical properties. In contrast to the attenuation, the stress wave factor, which indicates the efficiency of wave propagation along the specimen, correlates very well with degradation, and it can be used effectively to measure the residual strength after impact. Ultrasonic characteristic on specimens subjected to combined fatigue and impact were also studied. Based on these experiments, it is concluded that the loss in fatigue residual life due to impact loads may be predicted by measuring the effects of the impact load on attenuation and stress wave factor. It was found that the reduction in fatigue life is proportional to sudden changes in attenuation and stress wave factor. Damage accumulation models based on Coffin-Manson equation, was suggested for impact and combined fatigue and impact. It was found that residual properties and fatigue life can be estimated from these models.

    Notes: Abstract The Kirchhoff approximation is used to show that the time domain impulse response of an isolated flat crack can be given a simple geometrical interpretation in terms of the derivative of a projected length function. For an elliptical crack, this derivative can be obtained explicitly to yield the two edge-diffracted waves which originate from the “flashpoints” of the crack. An explicit coordinate invariant expression is obtained from this elliptical crack solution which relates the time difference, Δt, between the arrival of these edge-diffracted waves and the crack size and orientation. Previously, we have proposed that this expression, together with Δt measurements in different scattering directions, could be used in a regression analysis as the basis for performing a constrained inversion of crack scattering data (i.e., where we attempt to obtain the “best” equivalent flat elliptical crack that fits the scattering measurements). Here we will demonstrate some results of applying the proposed algorithm using “noisy” synthetic data. The sensitivity of the results to both, number of measurements and transducer orientation, will be discussed.

    Notes: Abstract A new method for determining the size of flaws, such as cracks and voids, in structural materials is reported. The method is based on the observation that, for a wide class of flaws, the zeroes in the real and imaginary parts of the scattering amplitude occur at characteristic frequencies which depend on the flaw size. The method of reconstruction using the zeroes is simpler than the inverse Born approximation because the flaw sizes are extracted directly from the characteristic frequencies. The new method employs the same data input as the inverse Born algorithm and has certain common limitations. Following a theoretical treatment, experimental results are presented for a number of different types of flaws.
