In fact, their range of application has been recently extended even to metals. The big advantage of X-ray refraction techniques is that they are able to detect nanometric defects, whose size would lie below the resolution of even state-of-the-art synchrotron-based X-ray computed tomography (SXCT). The superiority of synchrotron X-ray refraction radiography and tomography (SXRR and SXRCT) has been shown in the case of light materials, in particular composites. X-ray refraction techniques also yield a quantitifaction of the amount of damage (the so-called relative internal specific surface) and can well be compared with damage models. At the same time, it is impossible for SXRR and SXRCT to image single defects. We show that the combination of refraction- and transmission-based imaging techniques yields an impressive amount of additional information about the type and amount of defects in microstructured materials such as additively manufactured metals or metal matrix composites. We also show that the use of data fusion techniques allows the classification of defects in statistically significant representative volume elements.

The solid-state-reaction is well known for large scale powder synthesis of functional materials. As a high temperature process, the powder synthesis consumes a lot of energy. In different studies, different synthesis conditions were used for the preparation of calcium cobaltite powder. This study showed that a higher energy input (elevated temperatures, longer dwell times, or repeated calcinations) during powder synthesis does not increase but decrease the Seebeck coefficient and the electrical conductivity. The same correlation was determined for the densification. As a higher energy input leads to a larger grain size and therefore to a reduced sinter activity, it can be concluded that the thermoelectric properties are correlated with the sinter activity of the powder. These results can be used to minimize the energy demand for the powder synthesis of Ca₃Co₄ O₉.

This is due to the peculiar microstructure of such materials. In fact, researchers have discovered that conventional methods for the determination of RS in materials do not properly work for AM materials. In this tutorial, the basics of RS analysis will be explained, together with the basics of AM manufacturing techniques. The microstructure of the peculiar materials (AM) dealt with here will be elucidated. Successively, the necessary modifications to the conventional approaches to RS analysis will be explained and case studies will be displayed, for the attendant to touch with hands the peculiarities of the approaches. Finally, a few experimental and theoretical tips will be given on dos and don’ts for a correct determination of RS in AM materials.

Rotating around an axis parallel to the grid lines of the phase grating changes the grating’s shape and thereby the initial distribution of phase shifts. This yields high visibilities for shorter propagation distances than derived from box shapes. Tilting the grating in the scattering plane allows continuous tuning of the grating’s height that corresponds to an ideal phase shift for a particular photon energy. This opens the way for tuning the design energy suitable for the material under investigation. Our study included simulations for monochromatic sources with the sampling procedure.

More specifically, additive manufacturing processes such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) offer the ability to produce dense parts within a single manufacturing step. In fact, the exceptional freedom in design associated with the layer-based nature of the processes is of particular interest for the complex shapes typically required in turbine applications. In certain cases, the overall part performance can be achieved by tailoring the microstructure and the crystallographic texture to the specific application. However, these advantages must be paid at a price: the large local temperature gradients associated with the rapid melting and solidification produce parts that inherently contain large residual stress in the as-manufactured state. In addition, the presence of pores in the final part may further affect the in-service part failure. As among Nickel-based alloys Inconel 718 exhibits excellent weldability, this alloy has been widely studied in open research in the domain of LPBF. However, significant microsegregation of the heavier alloying elements such as Niobium and Molybdenum accompanied by dislocation entanglements may preclude the application of conventional heat treatment schedules. Therefore, different post processing heat treatments are required for laser powder bed fused Inconel 718 as compared to conventional variants of the same alloy. In this study, we investigated two different heat treatment routes for LPBF Inconel 718. In a first routine, the samples were stress relieved and subsequently subjected to hot isostatic pressing (HIP) followed by a solution heat treatment and a two-step age (referred to as FHT). In a second routine, the samples were subjected to a single-step direct age post stress relieving heat treatment (referred to DA). We investigated the consequences of such heat treatment schedules on the microstructure, texture, and mechanical behavior. We show that by applying a DA heat treatment the typical columnar microstructure possessing a crystallographic texture is retained, while an equiaxed untextured microstructure prevails in case of an FHT heat treatment. We further evaluate how these heat treatments affect the mechanical behaviour on the macroscopic and microscopic scale.

T1 - Microstructure characterization of materials using X-ray refraction techniques N2 - X-ray imaging techniques have an enormous potential to understand the microstructure, its evolution, and its link to mechanical, thermal, and transport properties. In this lecture we report the use of a powerful, yet not so wide-spread, set of X-ray techniques based on refraction effects. X-ray refraction allows determining the internal specific surface of materials (surface per unit volume) in a non-destructive fashion, position and orientation sensitive, and with a nanometric detectability. We demonstrate showcases of ceramics and composite materials, where microstructural parameters could be achieved in a way unrivalled even by high-resolution techniques such as electron microscopy or computed tomography. We present in situ analysis of the damage evolution during tensile load and the identification of void formation in parts produced by selective laser melting.

However, to date virtually no fully microstructure-driven quantitative description of the phenomenon is available. This has brought to interesting inconsistencies; the classic description of (secondary) creep rests on the so-called power law, which however: a- has a pre-factor spanning over 10 orders of magnitude; b- has different reported exponents for the same material; c- has no explanation for the values of such exponents. Recently, a novel description (the so-called Solid State Transformation Creep (SSTC) Model) has been proposed to tackle the problem under a different light. The model has two remarkable features: 1- it describes creep as the accumulation of elementary strains due to dislocation motion; 2- it predicates that creep is proceeding by the evolution of a fractal arrangement of dislocations. Such description, however, needs a great deal of corroborating evidence, and indeed, is still incomplete. To date, we have been able to observe and somehow quantify the fractal arrangement of microstructures through Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), observe the accumulation of dislocations at grain boundaries by EBSD-KAM (Electron Back-Scattered Diffraction-Kernel Angular Misorientation) analysis, quantify the kinetic character (solid state transformation) of experimental creep curves, and estimate the sub-grain size of the fractal microstructure through X-ray refraction techniques. All pieces of the mosaic seem to yield a consistent picture: we seem being on the right path to reconstruct the whole elephant by probing single parts of it. What is still missing is the bond between the various scales of investigation.

X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) has brought a profound change in the way that tolerance verifications are performed in industry, by allowing the inner and outer geometries of an object to be measured, without the need for external access or destructive testing. As a results, CT is increasingly used in additive manufacturing applications, where a nominal-actual comparison performed between the digital model (CAD file), used as an input for the 3D printer, and the CT volume from the printed part, can provide invaluable information as to the accuracy of the printing process. However, the nominal-actual comparison process is somewhat different when applied to additively manufactured specimens by comparison to conventionally manufactured specimens.

Powder bed techniques such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) based on layer-by-layer deposition and laser melt enable numerous degrees of freedom for the geometrical design. Developing during the manufacturing process, residual stresses may limit the application of SLM parts by reducing the load bearing capacity as well as induce unwanted distortion depending on the boundary conditions specified in manufacturing. The residual stress distribution in IN718 elongated prisms produced by SLM was studied non-destructively by means of neutron (bulk) and laboratory X-ray (surface) diffraction. The samples with different scanning strategies, i.e. hatching length, were measured in as-built condition (on a build plate) and after removal from the build plate. While surface stress fields seem constant for AB condition, X-ray diffraction shows stress gradients along the hatch direction in the RE condition. The stress profiles correlate with the distortion maps obtained by tactile probe measurements. Neutron diffraction shows bulk stress gradients for all principal components along the main sample directions. We correlate the observed stress patterns with the hatch length, i.e. with its effect on temperature gradients and heat flow. The bulk stress gradients partially disappear after removal from the baseplate. Together with surface scan utilizing a coordinate-measuring machine (CMM), it is possible to link the stress release to the sample distortion. We finally propose an explanation of those stress profiles based on the deposition strategy.

Therefore, often different post-processing treatments are necessary to obtain the desired stress state and properties. For additively manufactured Inconel 718, the recently developed standard ASTM F3301 provides guidance for the heat treatment of powder bed fusion specimens. Although this standard is based on standards developed for wrought Inconel 718, it does not include the direct aging variant. In this study, we characterized the microstructure and tensile behavior of Inconel 718 specimens produced by a laser powder bed fusion process. The specimens were heat-treated according to two different routines after stress relieving: a full heat treatment cycle versus a one-step aging process. Differences in the resulting texture and grain morphology were observed. Although these differences prevail, the ex-situ tensile behavior was broadly similar. Minor differences were observed in yield strength and work hardening rate for the direct aged specimen. In order to understand this behavior, investigations with in-situ tensile testing during synchrotron energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction measurements revealed differences in the load partitioning among different crystal directions. This was attributed to microstructural differences between the heat treatment variants. Further analysis emphasized that the various strengthening mechanisms are present to a different extent depending on the heat-treatment cycle applied. In addition, the elastic anisotropy expressed by the differences in the diffraction elastic constants displayed a dependence on the microstructure. Importantly, a precise knowledge of such constants is indispensable to reliably determine residual stresses in parts.

Wird ein solches Material unter die Curie Temperatur abgekühlt, zerfällt es spontan in nahezu selbstgesättigte magnetische Domänen. Diese Magnetisierung führt gleichzeitig zu einer Verformung der mit ihr gekoppelten Kristallgitter. Ein Effekt der auch reziprok gilt: wird die Gitterverformung durch eine Spannung behindert ändert sich zwangsweise der magnetische Zustand. Man kann annehmen, dass zwischen unterschiedlichen, für sich aber homogen verspannten Werkstoffbereichen, lokale magnetische Streufelder auftreten, weil magneto-mechanische Effekte eine Inkompatibilität der Domänenstruktur induzieren. Bekanntlich bilden sich Spannungsgradienten nach Schweißprozessen durch ungleichmäßigen Wärmeeintrag, thermischer Dehnung, und unterschiedlichen Abkühlraten aus. Unter dieser Prämisse untersuchen wir Wolfram-Inertgas geschweißte Blindnahtproben (250x100x4,8 mm^3) aus einem hypereutektoiden Baustahl. Der Spannungszustand der Proben wurde anhand von Neutronendiffraktometrie (ND) am Instrument E3 am Reaktor BERII (Helmholzzentrum Berlin, HZB) charakterisiert. ND ist ein Referenzverfahren für die quantitative Bestimmung von elastischen Dehnungen in kristallinen Materialien, deren Gitter selbst der Messmaßstab ist. Die Auswertung zeigt hohe Längsspannungen mit lokalen Maxima in Größenordnung von 600 MPa, die von umgebenen Druckspannungszonen kompensiert werden. Zur Detektion der magnetischen Kleinststreufelder verwenden wir speziell designte GMR-Sensorik (GMR - Giant Magneto Resistance), die aufgrund der geringen Größe ihrer aktiven Sensorelemente hohe Ortsauflösung mit Sensitivität vereint. Die Visualisierung der Messergebnisse lässt eine klare magnetische Mikrostruktur der Schweißnähte erkennen, in der die Streufelder lateral in Größenordnung des Erdmagnetfeldes variieren (~50 µT). Wir zeigen durch einen Vergleich beider Messverfahren, dass lokale magnetische Streufeldmaxima in hohem Maße mit den Spannungsgradienten übereinstimmen.

XCT is particularly useful for the investigation of additively manufactured (AM) components, which often have production defects that are inherent to the manufacturing process, such as lack of fusion defects. Understanding the mechanisms of fatigue crack growth throughout the life cycle of such components is crucial and so to address this need, we designed and performed experiments to investigate the fatigue life and fatigue crack growth behavior of Ti-6Al-4V components under very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) testing. The titanium samples were additively manufactured with intentional internal defects to control crack initiation location. XCT of the component was carried out to identify crack initiation sites and characterize the dynamics of crack growth. The findings from this work will benefit industries that rely on the AM of titanium alloys, aiding in the improvement of component design and manufacturing processes.

The influence of SLM process parameters on porosity is well studied for different materials. Nevertheless, the build angle (i.e. the angle between part orientation and build plate) needs to be understood as an additional SLM process parameter, as it has been shown, that the microstructure and hence the mechanical performance of various materials depend on the build angle. The inherent build angle of each strut as a part of a lattice structure is the motivation to investigate the influence of the build angle on the porosity and roughness on round-shaped (1 mm diameter) struts by means of CT. Conventional Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) has the limitation towards small and round shaped samples. The need for Computed Tomography (CT) regarding investigations of SLM parts will increase because no other non-destructive technique allows the assessment of complex geometries with inner laying surfaces. We used CT to assess the pores and the strut surface. Seven struts out of the nickel alloy Inconel 625 with build angles from 30° to 90° were studied. It was found that the number of pores is smaller, and the size of pores is larger for the 90° strut. In case of 30° strut, the number of pores is increased towards down-skin side, additionally, this strut orientation showed to have the largest number of attached powder particles. The elongated pores exist exclusively near the strut surface. While the roughness at the down-skin surface is highly depending of the biud angle, the roughness at the up-skin surface is the same for all struts. The mechanisms of pore and surface roughness formation is not mainly driven by gravity.

This opens the way for tuning the design energy suitable for the material under investigation. Our study included simulations for monochromatic sources with the sampling procedure for rectangular and triangular phase gratings.

A wide variety of ion optics exist to reflect, focus, separate, gate, and filter ions based on physical proper-ties. Notably all rely on electric and magnetic fields to alter the trajectory of ionized atoms and molecules. While these optics are quite efficient at low pressures due to the large mean free path, diffusion and electrostatic repulsion between ions dominate at higher pressures. Conventional ion optics, that use electric or magnetic fields, can guide ions at atmospheric pressure (AP), but require high field strengths to overcome the dominating aerodynamic effects. Here, we describe a remarkable phenomenon whereby low-power acoustic fields are used to move, shape, gate, and separate beams of gaseous ions at atmospheric pressure. We refer to this approach as Acoustic Ion Manipulation (AIM). Gaseous ions at AP are directed towards and separated by the presence of the acoustic field. To better understand the phenomenon, an ion-detector array provided a measure of bulk ion movement, while mass spectrometry (MS) offered chemical-specific information. As one example of an AIM setup, a standing acoustic wave was formed with two ultrasonic speakers and placed between an ionization source and ion detector. Ion beams preferentially travel through regions of stable pressure gradients (i.e. nodes) and deflect from un-stable regions (i.e. antinodes). Shadowgraphy revealed that the ions are sepa-rated from a neutral gas stream. Specific examples of ion focusing, gating, and separation (based on ion size) will be shown. In addition, experimental findings will be used to postulate a theory to develop a better understand of the behav-ior of gas-phase ions in acoustic fields. This discovery could have profound im-pacts in IMS/MS instrumentation as well as materials processing and charac-terization. T2 - 56.

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) can convert waste heat directly into electrical power by utilizing the Seebeck effect. The performance of such a generator is defined by a dimensionless figure of merit ZT of the thermoelectric pairs and the resistance R of the metallic contacts between these pairs. The figure of merit of thermoelectric oxides is considerably smaller compared to semiconductors. Still, thermoelectric oxides like calcium cobaltite (Ca3Co4O9) are attractive for applications at elevated temperatures in air. In contrast to the established π-type architecture of common TEGs, tape casting and multilayer technology may be applied for cost-effective manufacturing of oxide TEGs. Promising demonstrations of multilayer TEGs have been published in the last years. Still, the development of reliable and scalable manufacturing processes and proper material combinations is necessary. The aim of our project is to evaluate the feasibility of low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) technology for a practical manufacturing of oxide multilayer TEGs of Ca3Co4O9 (p-type) and calcium manganate (CaMnO3, n-type). Ca3Co4O9 exhibits an undesired phase decomposition at 926 °C. Because of that, the application of sintering strategies and interconnect concepts well known from LTCC technology is a promising approach. We present results of pressure-assisted sintering of Ca3Co4O9 multilayer at 900 °C and axial pressures of up to 7.5 MPa. Ca3Co4O9 was produced by solid state reaction of CaCO3 and cobalt(II,III)oxide at 900 °C. Green tapes were prepared by a doctor-blade process, manually stacked and laminated by uniaxial thermocompression. Sintering was conducted in a LTCC sintering press between SiC setter plates. The thickness shrinkage was recorded by an in-situ technique. After sintering under 7.5 MPa, the microstructure of the single phase material shows a high density of 95 % and an advantageous alignment of the platelet grains. This results in good electrical conductivity and a comparatively high ZT of 0.018 at room temperature. However, the lowering of CaMnO3 sintering temperature from above 1200 °C to below 920 °C remains a challenge. To select a proper metal paste for interconnections of an oxide TEG, several pastes have been investigated regarding contact resistance of internal and external (soldered) connections in a preliminary study. Commercial pastes containing Ag, Au, Au/Pt, Ag/Pd, and Ag/Pd/Bi were manually applied and post-fired on sintered test bars of Ca3Co4O9 and CaMnO3 at 900 °C for 2 h. All tested pastes formed mechanically stable metallization after firing. For resistance measurement, 4-wire method and a custom-made probe head were used. The contacts on Ca3Co4O9 exhibit significantly (2-sample t-test, α = 5%) higher resistance compared to contacts on CaMnO3. Pure silver paste exhibits the lowest resistance for internal contacts on both materials, lower than 5 mΩ on CaMnO3. Ag/Pd/Bi paste resulted in conspicuously high variance of resistance. EDX analyses clarified an enrichment of Bi in the thermoelectric material near the interface and thereby the formation of an oxide layer with probably high electrical resistance. The thickness of that layer varies with the thickness of metallization. In conclusion, the use of Bi containing pastes is not advisable. Pure Ag paste shows the best results regarding resistance and solderability.

Nevertheless, the residual stresses which develop during the fabrication can limit application of the SLM components by reducing the load bearing capacity and by inducing unwanted distortion, depending on the boundary conditions specified during manufacturing. The present study aims at characterizing the residual stress states in the SLM parts using different diffraction methods. The material used is the nickel based superalloy Inconel 718. Microstructure as well as the surface and bulk residual stresses were characterized. For the residual stress analysis, X-ray, synchrotron and neutron diffraction methods were used. The measurements were performed at BAM, at the EDDI beamline of -BESSY II synchrotron- and the E3 line -BER II neutron reactor- of the Helmholtz-Zentrum für Materialien und Energie (HZB) Berlin. The results reveal significant differences in the residual stress states for the different characterization techniques employed, which indicates a dependence of the residual state on the penetration depth in the sample. For the surface residual stresses, longitudinal and transverse stress components from both X-ray and synchrotron agree well and the obtained values were around the yield strength of the material. Furthermore, synchrotron mapping disclosed gradients along the width and length of the sample for the longitudinal and transverse stress components. On the other hand, lower residual stresses were found in the bulk of the material measured using neutron diffraction. The longitudinal component was tensile and decreased towards the boundary of the sample. In contrast, the normal component was nearly constant and compressive in nature. The transversal component was almost negligible. The results indicate that a stress re-distribution takes place during the deposition of the consecutive layers. Further investigations are planned to study the phenomenon in detail.

Not on my Shift! Excitation- Shifted UV Raman Microspectroscopy N2 - Spectroscopic analysis of samples provides elemental information, which is useful when the sample is homogenous. But many samples are not and consequently the creation of maps detailing the spatial composition of materials is needed. Raman microscopy can be used for this exact purpose but suffers a big drawback. The inherently weak Raman scattering results in long measurement times, especially when maps with many data points are created. This is due to the long exposure times needed when visible light lasers are used. A shift to UV-Lasers significantly increases the Raman intensity, as it scales with the fourth power of the inverse of the laser wavelength. But UV excitation often leads to fluorescence which can obscure the relatively weak Raman signal. Consequently, UV-Raman can only be used with specially prepared samples, for example through photo-bleaching, or with samples producing no fluorescence background in the measurement region. A solution is proposed that uses shifted-excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS) in a confocal microscope to obtain fluorescence-free Raman spectra. This is possible due to the collection of two Raman spectra at different excitation wavelengths. SERDS then allows for the calculation of just the Raman signal from the difference spectrum, which eliminates any fluorescence backgrounds, as they are not excitation wavelength dependent. The presented approach employs a polarized beamsplitter to irradiate the same spot with two lasers of different wavelengths which share the same beam path in the microscope. Consequently, a SERDS UV Raman Microscope is created, which utilizes the speed of UV-Raman without the drawbacks of possible broad fluorescence backgrounds. Here we present the instruments methodology and some first results.

From powering consumer electronics to enabling electric mobility and energy storage, they are a key building block of a sustainable future. Determination of the ratio of the two naturally abundant stable isotopes, 7Li and 6Li, provides access to a wide variety of information, such as studying the aging processes of lithium-ion batteries or elucidating the isotopic fingerprinting of natural or recycled sources of lithium. However, accurately measuring the lithium isotope ratio in complex samples remains challenging, often requiring either extensive sample pretreatment or specialized equipment, thus impeding in-situ and high-throughput demands of global industries. Recognition and determination of the individual lithium isotopes with conventional laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) setups is nearly impossible. While LIBS offers several advantages, such as obviating time- and resource-intensive sample preparation and enabling rapid measurements, the high temperature (~20,000 K) of the plasma, as well as the Stark-broadening caused by the nascent free electrons spectrally broaden the atomic emission lines to such an extent that the isotopic shift of the lithium doublet at 670 nm cannot be resolved. Since, the excited state energy for this transition amounts to only 14,900 cm-1, lithium exhibits a pronounced self-absorption dip in the emission signal. This self-absorption dip is significantly less affected by the broadening effects, therefore, allowing for the resolution of the isotopic shift from its line shape. Spatial heterodyne spectroscopy (SHS) offers the superior resolution capabilities necessary to differentiate the individual isotopic contributions. To address the generally limited sensitivity of SHS, a high-repetition-rate (>10 kHz) laser allows the accumulation of more than 10,000 lasing events per spectral recording for a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio and gain statistical validity. Optical lithium fluoride serves as a model sample to showcase the analytical performance. Additionally, the impact of the laser parameters on the self-absorption will also be discussed.

Calcium cobaltite (p-type) and calcium manganate (n-type) are two of the most promising oxide thermoelectric materials. The development of cost-effective multilayer thermoelectric generators requires the co-firing of these materials and therefore the adjustment of sintering temperatures. Calcium manganate is conventionally sintered between 1200 °C and 1350 °C. Calcium cobaltite exhibits an undesired phase transition at 926 °C but can be sintered to high relative density of 95 % at 900 °C under axial pressure of 7.5 MPa. Hence, co-firing at 900 °C would be favourable. Therefore, strategies for lowering the sintering temperature of calcium manganate have been investigated. Basically, two approaches are common: i) addition of low melting additives like Bi2O3-ZnO-B2O3-SiO2 (BBSZ) glass or Bi2O3, and ii) addition of additives that form low-melting eutectics with the base material, for example CuO. In this study, several low melting additives including BBSZ glass and Bi2O3, as well as CuO were tested regarding their effect on calcium manganate densification. Bi2O3 did not improve the densification, whereas BBSZ glass led to 10 % higher relative density at 1200 °C. An addition of 4 wt% CuO decreases the temperature of maximum sinter rate from above 1200 °C to 1040 °C. By reducing the particle size of the raw materials from 2 μm to 0.7 μm the maximum sinter rate could be further shifted 20 K towards lower temperatures and the sinter begin decreased from 920 °C to 740 °C. It is shown that eutectic phase formation is more effective in lowering sintering temperature and accelerating densification than low-melting additives. T2 - 93.

However, its general adoption is constrained by the reliance on expensive, high-power consumption, gated cameras such as intensified charge-coupled devices (CCDs). These devices, while sensitive, are expensive and possess low frame rates, limiting their efficacy in dynamic or challenging environments. Our study proposes an innovative approach that leverages non-gated spectrometers in conjunction with the framework of correlation spectroscopy to isolate analyte signals responsive to a specific repetition-rate modulation pattern, thereby yielding spectra with zero background. We utilized a diode-pumped solid-state laser, with repetition rates ranging from 10 Hz to 30 kHz, to induce plasma in aqueous solutions containing various alkaline and earth-alkaline metals. With a non-gated single-grating linear CCD spectrometer, we found that the continuum signal plateaued at approximately 7 kHz. In contrast, atomic emissions from the dissolved analytes showed continued increases. Notably, atomic emissions from the solvent (water) were observable only above 8.5 kHz, at a significant high rate of increase. Through computational synthesis of a modulation pattern, we determined an optimized scheme that effectively discriminates continuum and analyte signals; this pattern was optimized with a genetic algorithm. The spectral matrix correlating signal intensity with laser repetition rate and wavelength was used as the input of the model. Meanwhile, the fitness function that extracts the background-free spectra was built in-house and inspired by the Gardner transform, which exploits the power of Fourier transform, allowing for flagging and splitting analyte signal from other undesired features. This approach bypasses the limitations associated with gated cameras, while providing a cost-effective alternative for robust LIBS applications. This advancement is particularly relevant in field, portable and remote applications, aligning with the ongoing demand for accessible, high-performance analytical tools in diverse scientific fields.

Moreover, they very often display a microcrack network, resulting from the strong anisotropy of the microscopic coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). Mechanical, thermal, and filtration properties, they all strongly depend on the morphology of both solid matter and porosity, and on the degree of microcracking (also, the microcrack density), which is in its turn tightened to the grain size. Recent industrial and academic research has enormously progressed in understanding the microstructure-property-performance relationships existing in these complicated materials: - Using 3D computed tomography (CT) at different resolutions, and several X-ray refraction-based techniques, porosity and pore orientation could be quantitatively evaluated (in the example of cordierite). - Neutron and X-ray Diffraction has been instrumental to disclose a) the non-linear character of the stress-strain response, and b) the negative CTE of these materials, and its consequences on the materials properties; - Analytical and numerical models have been elaborated to rationalize these behaviours in terms of microcracking and microstructural features. Here these results will be reviewed, and a outlook at (some of the) outstanding problems will be given.

However, precise measurements, in particular quantification efforts, suffer from fluctuations of the intensity of the detected emission lines due to matrix effects and plasma-flicker noise, as well as significant background noise. In contrast, the early stages of the plasma are dominated by electron-ion recombination and Bremsstrahlung, which lead to sharp and intense x-ray emissions with consistent intensity profiles between laser pulses and suppressed background noise, therefore improving the limit of detection, especially for lighter elements. These emissions are detected in laser-induced XUV spectroscopy (LIXS).[1] Introduction of a femtosecond laser (pulse length ~100 fs) to the LIXS setup fundamentally changes the laser energy absorption and ablation process. The laser pulse energy is absorbed and redistributed by multiphoton absorption and inverse Bremsstrahlung and operates on a time frame faster than the plasma formation. Additionally, the plasma formation itself is accelerated leading to signal generation in the XUV-range before generation of the undesired background emissions. Thus, utilization of a femtosecond laser allows for further suppression of broadband emissions from the plasma allowing for sharper separation of the emission lines and improved limit of detection. This work presents the results of the combination of a LIXS setup with a femtosecond laser and assess the capabilities of this system with a model sample of cathode material from a spent lithium-ion battery.

The most common SHS setup is similar to the Michelson interferometer, both utilizes a beam splitter in the incoming beam path. In case of the SHS the split beams are not aimed towards orthogonal mirrors, but reflective optical gratings, set under a selected angle. These optical gratings diffract the beams, the direction of every wavelength will depend on the grating constant and the angle of the gratings. The wavefronts belonging to different wavelengths are going to cross each other under a unique angle, resulting in a spatial interference, which is recorded by a digital camera. This relatively compact setup provides high resolution and light throughput, which properties were harnessed for tasks requiring good line separation and/or high sensitivity [2]. However, SHS are only applicable on wavelengths for which an adequate transmissive beam splitter is available like the visible range, but not the far UV. To overcome this limitation, different all-reflective designs were introduced [3]. These instruments utilize symmetric optical gratings for the splitting and recombination of the beams. Although these SHS devices solve the main limitations of the traditional ones, they come with their fair share of drawbacks as well, such as more complex arrangement and the requirement for more delicate tuning. The behaviour of the traditional SHS is well documented [4,5], but in regards of the all-reflective ones we have much less available information. In this current study we utilized computational modelling to predict the behaviour of the all-reflective SH spectrometers, with special attention to the effects of the different alignment errors. Later we utilize this knowledge to fine tune an SHS for sensing (LIBS, Raman) in the UV region. Furthermore, we are introducing two new all-reflective SHS setups and compering them to their older counterparts.
