Betavoltaic power sources (BVPSs) can serve as power generators of such order. BVPSs consist of a combination of betavoltaic cells (BVCs) based on long-lived radioisotopes of beta radiation and semiconductor converters (SCs). One of the key tasks for increasing the power of BVCs is the selection of SCs that can efficiently convert the energy of beta particles into electricity. Currently, semiconductor structures with a developed surface and a high band gap are considered to be perspective SCs. In present work, arrays of titanium dioxide nanopores (TiO₂ NPs) synthesized by common electrochemical anodization were chosen as a SCs. These SCs were part of BVCs based on nickel-63 with an activity of ~10 Ci/g. TiO₂ NPs with an amorphous structure in the composition of BVC demonstrated low electrical parameters. To increase them, we modified TiO₂ NPs by the hydrothermal method in a solution of Sr(OH)₂ with a concentration of 0.05 mol/L at various times. These experiments were carried out in order to convert TiO₂ (anatase) into structure-like SrTiO₃. We found that the electrical parameters of the SCs increased with the duration of the modification time. The best result was obtained in the case of modification for 3 h—the BVC generated a short circuit current of 2.9 nA and open circuit voltage of 0.8 V and had a maximum power of 0.8 nW at 0.45—0.5 V. The obtained electrical parameters in combination with the miniature dimensions of the BVCs open up the potential possibility of creating a BVPS with an increased power density.</p>","PeriodicalId":586,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Materials: Applied Research","volume":"15 5","pages":"1230 - 1239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142411033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The roving feature high tensile and impact strength and low density. The carbon fiber composite consists of carbon-fiber (CF) roving. It is additionally reinforced using D800 and SK75 roving with UHMWPE fibers. CF and UHMWPE roving are mixed in different ratios to make unidirectional hybrid (three-component) samples in two types of epoxy matrices (HT-2 and L285). In addition to hybrids, two-component samples are made using individual CF, D800, and SK75 roving. The amount of roving in the volume of hybrid samples is changed with a 25% increment to obtain CF and UHMWPE roving ratios of 0.25/0.75, 0.50/0.50 and 0.75/0.25. The required quantity of roving having the above ratios is calculated using the CF and UHMWPE roving constants. The impact strength, density and bending strength are estimated. The density of the samples is determined by calculation accounting for the roving constants. The results of the strength tests in hybrids are compared with CFC strength indicators. When the amount of UHMWPE roving increases, the bending strength and the density of hybrids decreases at different rates if compared to CF. The impact strength sharply increases under the same conditions followed by a sharp decline. The density of hybrids decreases by about 8% with each incremental step, and the rate of bending strength decline is approximately twice the rate of the density decrease.

Two deuterium irradiation modes have been implemented: a relatively soft mode with a power density of <i>q</i> ~ 10⁷–10⁸ W/cm² and a hard mode with <i>q ~</i> 10⁹–10¹⁰ W/cm² with a pulse length of τ = 100 ns and number <i>N</i> = 4 of pulse discharges in both cases. It has been shown that the effect of the helium ion and helium plasma flows at the PF Vikhr facility with irradiation parameters of <i>q</i> ~ 10⁷–10⁸ W/cm², τ = 100 ns, and <i>N</i> = 15 on the inner surface of a steel pipe sample depends on the mode of its preirradiation with deuterium ion and deuterium plasma flows. In the relatively soft mode of pre-exposure to deuterium ion and deuterium plasma flows with a power density of <i>q ~</i> 10⁷–10⁸ W/cm², the subsequent pulsed irradiation with helium causes slight changes in the damageability of the surface layer: smoothing of the wavelike surface relief, an increase in pore formation in the surface layer, appearance of microcracks in it, and formation of spherical particles consisting of basic and impurity elements of the steel composition. The presence of niobium deposited from the anode of the PF facility has also been observed. The impact of the helium ions and helium plasma flows on the inner surface of a steel pipe sample after its preirradiation with deuterium ion and deuterium plasma flows in the hard mode at <i>q ~</i> 10⁹–10¹⁰ W/cm² increases the damageability of the surface layer. Implantation of helium into the material facilitates an increase in the number and size of open cavities (tens of microns) emerging in the surface layer at the stage of preirradiation of the pipe with deuterium, formation of numerous small (up to ~5 μm) bubbles and pores in it, and emergence of spherical particles of different phases on the irradiated surface. An increase in the damageability of the surface layer in the investigated steel sample after its subsequent pulsed irradiation with helium is accompanied by a significant increase in the intensity of erosion of the material as compared with the situation implemented in the softer mode of pre-irradiation of the sample. The enhanced erosion leads to a noticeable decrease in the content of niobium deposited onto the irradiated surface.</p>","PeriodicalId":586,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Materials: Applied Research","volume":"15 5","pages":"1265 - 1273"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142411021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ratio of intensities of diffraction maxima illustrates the absence of a predominant growth (texture) orientation in the coating obtained through electric spark deposition. Scanning electron microscopy data prove that the surface coating layer contains melted areas, pores, spherical and oval inclusions, irregularly shaped particles, cracks, rounded pits, etc. The main reason behind melted areas deals with high temperatures developing between electrodes during an electric spark discharge. The appearance of surface fractures can be primarily associated with developing high thermal stresses and mechanical contacts between electrodes. Spherical/oval particles can develop due to interaction of liquid droplets with the cathode substrate surface. Irregularly shaped particles appear as a result of explosive emission from the edges of the erosion crater of the anode material.</p>","PeriodicalId":586,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Materials: Applied Research","volume":"15 5","pages":"1444 - 1448"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142411023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been established that, with an increase in the number of heating/cooling cycles and the temperature of corrosion tests, the nickel alloy damage increases. As a result of corrosion tests when supplying an aqueous solution of synthetic sea salt and at temperature of 750°C, it was established that formation takes place of micrograined layers of magnesium oxides, which are products of thermohydrolysis of MgCl₂, on the surface sample of the nickel alloy. When the test temperature increases to 850°C, the process of thermohydrolysis of sea salt components is accompanied by the formation of oxide deposits with an abnormally high cobalt content.
