As a promising environment-friendly alternative to current vapor-compression refrigeration, solid-state refrigeration based on the barocaloric effect has been attracting world wide attention. Generally, both phases in which a barocaloric effect occurs are present at ambient pressure. Here, instead, we demonstrate that KPF exhibits a colossal barocaloric effect due to the creation of a high-pressure rhombohedral phase. The phase diagram is constructed based on pressure-dependent calorimetric, Raman scattering, and neutron diffraction measurements. The present study is expected to provide an alternative routine to colossal barocaloric effects through the creation of a high-pressure phase.

A new type of ytterbium doped phosphate laser glass has been produced and studied about physical and optical properties such as thermo-mechanical properties, nonlinear properties, crystalline phase, micro defects and spectroscopic properties. In the glass forming process, newly developed OH removing technology was adopted. From the reduction of OH concentration in the glass, upper state fluorescence lifetime reached 2.2 ms. Additionally, the glass shows remarkable athermal property of 0.4210E/K, which is around one-tenth of QX/Yb glass.

High manganese austenitic steels as a cryogenic structural material are widely applied in the pressurized storage infrastructures for storing and transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied hydrogen (LH). Considering that cryogenic impact toughness is important in predicting the service performance of high manganese austenitic steel, it is critical for analyzing residual strain and plastic deformation evolution in impacted fractures and for deeply understanding the deformation and fracture mechanisms. Here, the strain and plastic deformation evolution of impacted fractures in high manganese steel (24Mn-4Cr-0.4C-0.3Cu) were comparably investigated by neutron Bragg-edge transmission (BET) imaging and electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD) at various cryogenic temperatures. The BET results show that the residual strain 111 is negative and 200 is positive in the region with large plastic deformation near the fracture. However, 111 and 200 in the region far away from the fracture show similar distribution in the V-notched impact sample at the same temperature. With the decrease of impact temperature, the high broadening area of Bragg-edge width near the fracture gradually decreased, revealing that the local plastic strain during cryogenic impact deformation in the corresponding area decreased, which is primarily consistent in the change trend of impact toughness value obtained at various temperatures. EBSD results show evident difference in the local distribution density of 111 and 200-oriented grains in the region near the fracture after cryogenic impacting. It is suggested that the steel texture is a primary reason for clarifying the different distribution features of 111 and 200 in the region near the cryogenic impact fracture.

We are studying the depth dependence of the density of the defects induced by the electrical discharge machining (EDM) in SUS316L, using the electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). EPMA results show a large change in the composition over the first 10 m. This layer can be assumed to correspond to the recast layer. PALS and XRD results suggest a defect layer with a thickness of around 50 m. This depth can be assumed to correspond to the heat affected zone where dislocations and vacancy clusters exists. For PALS (and other methods) analysis, it is recommended to remove the topmost 100 m of the samples by chemical polishing after EDM.
