Summary of Previous Results • Atom probe experimentation • Atomic scale measurement of gas-solid reactions of Al and Oxygen • Compound formation • Study of Interfacial chemistry • -3D interface analysis of gas solid reactions - Iso surface concentrations • -Interfacial chemistry, morphology, etc. • Atomic scale measurement of gas-solid reactions of Si and oxygen • Refinements in Environmental chamber set up for in-situ gas reactions • Collaborations: • Maryland – Sample prepared by Maryland by reacting Si microtips; analysis of samples by ISU • Van Duin group – Use of atom probe results for experimental inputs into ReaxFF simulations
Atom Probe Data for ReaxFF • - Original AP data • Data required for ReaxFF • Modifications • Future Steps • Gas solid reactions of near space environment condition • Surface reactions / orientation dependence of reactions
Chemistry of Gas-Solid Reactions We have analyzed gas-solid reactions of materials and the resulting bonds • Oxidation of Aluminum at 450 C, 2.5 x 10-3Torr for 10 min. The Al-O compounds shown are from an Al2O3 phase. By measuring the compounds, we get a more local chemical measurement – Al2O3 phase comprised of Al2O, Al2O2, AlO and AlO2 clusters.
Interface from Gas-Solid Reactions Measurement of two dimensional interfaces. Bulk Al2O3 phase Bulk Al phase Interface Interface shown from reaction of O and Al. Identify Al2O3 as bulk phase of gas-solid reaction, and perovskite phase at the interface. We have further developed this approach to imaging of 3D interfaces.- Interface shape- Interface uniformity
Iso surface-Al (41%) Iso surface-Al (80%) Al (97%) O (1.93%) Image of changing interfacial isosurfaces with changing interfacial chemistry. Interface is uniform, and the shape of interface does not change significantly with chemistry.
