A1 - Engin, E. T1 - International Comparison Euramet.QM-K111 – Propane in Nitrogen N2 - This key comparison aims to assess the core capabilities of the participants in gas analysis. Such competences include, among others, the capabilities to prepare Primary Standard gas Mixtures (PSMs), perform the necessary purity analysis on the materials used in the gas mixture preparation, the verification of the composition of newly prepared PSMs against existing ones, and the capability of calibrating the composition of a gas mixture. According to the Strategy for Key Comparisons of the Gas Analysis Working Group, this key comparison is classified as an RMO track A key comparison. The artefacts were binary mixtures of propane in nitrogen at a nominal amount-of-substance fraction level of 1000 μmol/mol. The values and uncertainties from the gravimetric gas mixture preparation were used as key comparison reference values (KCRVs). Each transfer standard had its own KCRV. The results are generally good. All results are within ± 1 % of the KCRV.

Dazu wird die Gasturbine mit einer Wasserreibbremse gekoppelt, mit der eine definierte Last erzeugt werden kann. Ursprünglich war die Wasserreibbremse für eine bestimmte Leistung, die den früheren Leistungen der Gasturbine entsprach, ausgelegt worden. Die erste Prüfung fand im Jahr 1975 statt. Da neuere Gasturbinen wesentlich höhere Leistungen erbringen und die vorhandene Wasserreibbremse weiterhin eingesetzt werden sollte, musste eine Nachqualifizierung vorgenommen werden. Das Ziel war die Absicherung auf eine mögliche Sprödbruchgefahr. Zunächst wurde eine Studie zur Prüfbarkeit erstellt. An speziellen Testkörpern wurden im Ultraschallabor der BAM Vorversuche zur Machbarkeit, zur Empfindlichkeitsein-stellung und zur Vorbereitung der Prüfung durchgeführt. Dazu wurden spezielle Gruppenstrahlerprüfköpfe gefertigt und ein an die komplizierte Geometrie der Bremsscheiben angepasster Manipulator gebaut. Ferner wurde, um die Prüfzeiten zu reduzieren, die Software zur Datenerfassung und zur Auswertung angepasst. Im Werk Berlin der Siemens AG wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit der Siemens AG Erlangen eine Ultraschallprüfung mit der Gruppenstahlertechnik der Wasserreibbremse durchgeführt. Überprüft wurde das gesamte Volumen auf axial, radial und tangential beanspruchte Fehler in den Bereichen der Welle und der Bremsscheibe.Die Überprüfung ergab keine relevanten Fehler, so dass die Wasserreibbremse weiterhin eingesetzt werden kann.

T1 - Fe-ZSM-5 Catalysts for the Selective Reduction of NO by Isobutane - The Problem of the Active Sites N2 - Relations between the structure of Fe–ZSM-5 catalysts prepared by interaction of FeCl3 with H–ZSM-5 and their catalytic behavior in the SCR of NO by isobutane were investigated by combining results of catalytic studies (1000 ppm NO, 1000 ppm isobutane, and 2% O2 in He, 30,000 h-1) and of physicochemical characterization (XRD, EXAFS, Mössbauer spectroscopy, TPR, IR, XPS). By variation of the preparation conditions (method of FeCl3 introduction—chemical vapor deposition or solid-state ion exchange, washing intensity, calcination regime) and of the matrix (H–ZSM-5 with normal and high defect density), Fe–ZSM-5 materials with strongly varying properties (aggregation degree of the Fe phase, acidity) were obtained. Significant discrepancies between conclusions derived from EXAFS, TPR, and Mössbauer spectroscopy were ascribed to a preference of Mössbauer spectroscopy for the detection of aggregated phases and a high defectivity of Fe oxide clusters formed upon calcination. The critical step for the preparation of a highly disperse Fe phase is extensive washing after Fe introduction. The catalytic behavior of overexchanged Fe–ZSM-5 materials prepared by interaction of FeCl3 with H–ZSM-5 of normal defect density was not influenced by aggregation of a significant part of the Fe phase. The comparison of their catalytic properties with those of a Fe2O3/H–ZSM-5 mechanical mixture and of catalysts prepared by aqueous ion exchange or by CVD of FeCl3 into H–ZSM-5 of high defect density implies that the particular activity of overexchanged Fe–ZSM-5 arises from minority sites. In these, the Fe ions are probably isolated. Other Fe sites of low nuclearity appear to add to the activity. The poor SCR performance (at a given ability for isobutane activation) of Fe–ZSM-5 prepared with a defective ZSM-5 matrix may indicate that the Fe sites which provi de the particular activity of overexchanged Fe–ZSM-5 require the cooperation of acidic sites.

T1 - Accurate stopping power determination of 15N ions for hydrogen depth profiling by a combination of ion beams and synchrotron radiation N2 - Hydrogen analysis is of particular importance in thin film technology and it is often necessary to obtain a depth profile. The method with the best depth resolution is NRA using the 6385 keV resonance of the 1H(15N,αγ)12C nuclear reaction. The correct quantification of the depth and concentration scales in the measured hydrogen profiles relies on accurate stopping power values. We present a method to deduce these values from a combination of two techniques: NRA and X-ray reflectometry (XRR). This method is applied to the determination of the stopping power of ~6.4 MeV 15N ions in H-containing amorphous Si-layers (a-Si:H). Density-independent stopping powers at different H concentrations are determined by combining the results from NRA and XRR with an overall uncertainty of 3.3%, showing good agreement with SRIM values. This work shows exemplary the methodology for future evaluation of stopping powers for quality assurance in NRA.

A1 - Riesemeier, Heinrich T1 - Fingerprinting ancient gold by measuring Pt with spatially resolved high energy Sy-XRF N2 - Trace elements of ancient gold such as Pt, give fundamental information on the circulation of the metal in the past. In the case of objects from the cultural heritage, the determination of trace elements requires non-destructive point analysis in general. These conditions and the need of good detection limits restrain the number of applicable analytical techniques. After the development of a PIXE set-up with a selective Cu or Zn filter of 75 µm and of a PIXE-XRF set-up using a primary target of As, we tested the possibilities of spatially resolved Sy-XRF to determine Pt in gold alloys. With a Zn filter, PIXE showed a detection limit of 1000 ppm in gold while PIXE-XRF lowers this detection limit down to 80 ppm. This last value being constrained by the resonant Raman effect produced on gold. In order to improve the detection limit of Pt keeping the non-destructiveness and access to point analysis, we developed an analytical protocol for XRF with synchrotron radiation at BESSY II, using the BAMline set-up. The L-lines of Pt were excited by a beam of energy above and below 11.564 keV and measured using a Si(Li) detector with a 50 µm Cu filter. A µ-beam of 100–250 µm2 was used according to the size of the sample. The determination of the Pt content in the samples was carried out by Monte-Carlo simulation and subtraction of Au and Pt spectra obtained on pure standards. The limit of detection for Pt of 20 ppm was determined by using certified standards. The detection limits of a small set of other characteristic elements of gold were also measured using an incident energy of 33 keV.

T1 - Local structure and site substitution in amorphous and quasicrystalline Zr-Ti-Ni-(Cu) alloys N2 - Local structures of amorphous and quasicrystalline phases in Zr–Ti–Ni and Zr–Ti–Ni–Cu alloys have been studied by means of x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The amorphous phases show a high degree of icosahedral short-range order. In all investigated systems local order around Cu and Ni atoms was found to be nearly identical pointing to site substitution of Ni by Cu as the reason for an improved glass forming ability when Ni is partly substituted by Cu. The results strengthen an icosahedral cluster based approach for the structure of metallic glasses and indicate the importance of the medium-range order on glass formation.

T1 - Visualization of the water distribution in perforated gas diffusion layers by means of synchrotron X-ray radiography N2 - Perforated gas diffusion layers (GDLs) of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) were investigated by means of in-situ synchrotron X-ray radiography during operation. We found a strong influence of perforations on the water distribution and transport in the investigated Toray TGP-H-090 GDL. The water occurs mainly around the perforations, while the holes themselves show varying water distributions. Some remain dry, while most of them fill up with liquid water after a certain period or might serve as drainage volume for effective water transport.

T1 - Non-sexual abdominal appendages in adult insects challenge a 300 million year old bauplan N2 - Despite their enormous diversity, the bauplan of adult winged insects (pterygotes) is remarkably conservative since the Lower Devonian: a five-segmented head, a three-segmented thorax with three pairs of walking legs and an eleven-segmented abdomen without any non-sexual appendages 1 and 2. The only known exceptions are the abdominal appendages of adult male sepsid flies on the fourth segment; however, these are also used as copulatory organs and are supposedly maintained through sexual selection [3]. Here, we report a rod-like paired appendage from the third and fourth abdominal segments in adults of the Southeast-Asian Hemiptera taxon Bennini (Figure 1A,B; Supplemental information). These are fully musculated, innervated, and movable and bear highly organized sensory and secretory units. The appendages, termed LASSO (lateral abdominal sensory and secretory organs), are consistent in topology and structure in all species studied and not sexually dimorphic. The existence of these non-sexual abdominal appendages reveals the potential of the 300 million year old conserved bauplan of insects.

T1 - Sintering and piezoelectric properties of K0.5Na0.5NbO3 glass microspheres N2 - Laser-fused K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) powder of 75% transparent fraction has been sintered by pressureless sintering, spark plasma sintering (SPS), and hot isostatic pressing (HIP). The laser-fused KNN has a fictive temperature of 503 °C and an onset crystallization temperature of around 529 °C. The results have shown that sintering of the laser-fused KNN powder utilizing the viscous flow of the transparent microspheres (amorphous content)–at the kinetic window (26 °C)–is possible. The highest yield relative density is around 83% at a sintering temperature of 525 °C and at a sintering pressure of 280 MPa. Limited density has been reached because of formation of crystalline surface layers around the amorphous areas. The samples hipped at 525 °C have low piezoelectric coefficient d33 of 5 pC/N because of the residual porosity that led to early dielectric breakdown during the polarization. The sintering behavior, the resulting microstructure as well as the measured properties will be discussed.
