Vanadium Can Sealing

Vanadium can sealing is a materials-engineering method for closing vanadium containers that hold specimens during controlled experiments. The process joins a fitted end cap to the can, commonly by localized welding under a controlled atmosphere, creating a mechanically stable, leak-resistant enclosure while limiting oxidation and sample loss. Because vanadium has relatively low neutron absorption, properly sealed cans are especially useful in neutron diffraction and scattering, where the container must protect the specimen without overwhelming the measurement. Reliable sealing also supports high-temperature or reactive-material studies by maintaining sample integrity and reproducible experimental conditions.

We present the synthesis of the organic-based ferrimagnet vanadium tetracyanoethylene (V[TCNE]x, x~2) via low temperature chemical vapor deposition (CVD). This optimized recipe yields an increase in Curie temperature from 400 K to over 600 K and a dramatic improvement in magnetic resonance properties.

Thin films (100-1000 Å) of vanadium dioxide (VO2) were created by atomic-layer deposition (ALD) on sapphire substrates. Following this, the optical properties were characterized through the metal-insulator transition of VO2. From the measured optical properties, a model was created to describe the tunable refractive index of VO2.

A novel sealing protocol to produce water-tight silicone-based seals for membranes of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chip devices. Intended for labs setting-up chip models and small-scale chip platform development. We demonstrate the protocol using plastic and native tissue membranes. This procedure only requires PDMS, toluene, mold, membrane, and a vacuum chamber.
