| Abstract Scope |
The word "imaging" in materials science usually connotes forms of optical or electron microscopy. However, the indirect inference of microstructure via multimodal techniques, in effect imaging microstructure via material property measurement, holds promise to augment both our understanding of how materials evolve during environmental exposure and to greatly boost the speed of this knowledge acquisition. In this talk, I will highlight and tie together studies showing how careful mapping of microstructure to multiple properties via inference allows us to "see" how they evolve during heating, irradiation, corrosion, and combinations thereof. New effects to be shown include (1) watching precipitate growth via thermal transport linked to both grain size and precipitate effects on phononic heat conduction, and (2) watching defect populations evolve as we pulse ion beams on and off and measure thermoelastic properties. These show us how we can see microstructural evolution with more than just our eyes and electrons. |
