Real-time monitoring of materials in harsh environments is a crucial technique towards reducing innovation time in nuclear systems. The successful measurement of real time, in-situ strain measurements during nuclear reactor operation requires innovative sensing solutions, including novel sensing strategies as well as advanced sensor design, manufacturing, and materials selection. In this paper, we will discuss two primary strategies for in-situ strain measurement strategies: additively manufactured (AM) capacitive strain gauges (CSGs) and digital image correlation (DIC). Current commercial strain gauges have limited applications in reactors due to the harsh operating conditions and non-trivial attachment strategies (i.e., welding, epoxy-adhesive) that can affect both the sensing performance and the underlying substrate under testing. AM CSGs are a viable solution as they have a low profile, low hysteresis, and wireless sensing integration capabilities that will enhance nuclear sensing technologies. In this work, the mechanical and thermal performance of the AM CSGs were tested up to 300 °C using ASTM standardized testing procedures to simulate the temperatures found in existing light water reactors. The AM CSGs had a similar performance across multiple samples which correlates to analytical models. This work leads towards the development of CSGs designed for higher temperatures and additional environmental factors found in Generation-IV reactors. Non-contact sensors, such as DIC, offer a less destructive way to measure deformation of materials when compared to alternative methods of in-situ strain determination, such as weldable strain gauges. However, DIC requires high contrast surfaces, which often relies on the implementation of artificial patterns. Using traditional splatter techniques to fabricate these patterns have limitations, including poor surface adhesion and reproducibility. In this work, AM fabrication techniques were implemented to avoid such limitatio

We report the first direct experimental evidence that the first write pulse (cycle 1) generates more than half of the total traps generated until the complete collapse of the memory window at cycle $10^{4}-10^{5}$, in ferroelectric field effect transistors (FEFETs). This conclusion is reached by tracking the generated traps by a combination of subthreshold slope and charge pumping measurements in a Ferroelectric field-effect transistor and an equivalent standard MOSFET of same effective oxide thickness (EOT). We also find that with continued cycling, traps get generated more toward the bulk of the stack away from the Si/SiO 2 interface. We show that: (1) the first switch effect leads to nearly 50% of the total trap density $\left(\mathrm{N}_{i t}\right)$ near the Si/SiO 2 interface until memory window closure (2) with further bipolar cycling, damage happens both at and away from Si/SiO 2 interface.

Itinerant ferromagnetism is understood in terms of a quasiparticle picture with renormalized many-body effects. While the ferromagnetic ground state is destabilized by thermal and quantum fluctuations leading to exotic states such as unconventional superconductivity, how the quasiparticles evolve across the ferromagnetic transition is a target of intensive debate. Here, we present a type of ferromagnetic transition that is accompanied by a drastic reconstruction of quasiparticle spectrum in a layered ferromagnetic ruthenate, Sr4Ru3O10. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy uncovered that the three-dimensional coherent states below the ferromagnetic transition temperature (TC) turn into two-dimensional incoherent electronic states slightly above TC characterized by the disappearance of trilayer band splitting, ferromagnetic exchange splitting, and long-lived quasiparticles. Our findings suggest that the electronic coherence strongly modifies the fermiology and magnetic order, pointing to an intriguing coupling between quasiparticles and magnetic properties.
