• A photon first interacts with the electrons− Electronic and optical properties
• Electronic energy is then converted into heat − Thermal properties
• Thermal expansion (acoustic waves)− Mechanical properties
Motivation• Optical methods are appealing because they can be performed remotely• Optical methods are extremely reproducible • Optical methods have high spatial and temporal resolution

Measurement of Thermal Properties – physics description
Phase profile slope = 1/LD
• We have developed a spatially resolved thermal conductivity probe for – investigating individual microstructure features– investigating thin damage layers caused by irradiation
• This approach excites a harmonic thermal wave by a localized pump beam and measures its profile using a localized probe beam
• By combining frequency and spatial domain scan we can extract thermal conductivity (applicable to constant thermal load)

• Lateral resolution is related to the optical spot size (~1m)
• Depth resolution is related to modulation frequency (1 MHz→100nm)
• Quartz is trigonal and exhibits thermal anisotropy in the plane of the sample
The profile shows conjugate relationship between changes in position and changes in
frequency
Phase contour reveals thermally anisotropic nature of substrate for kilohertz range

• Thermal conductivity of UO2 strongly depends on radius• Electrons/phonons/photons are the energy carriers• Thermal conductivity related to ability to transport kinetic energy• In UO2 phonons are primary heat carrier

Connect microstructure to thermal transport
• Irradiation induced defects that influence thermal conductivity– Fission products– Stoichiometry changes– Dislocation loops– Grains boundaries
• Separate effects studies are important
• High burnup structure at the rim of UO2 fuel pellet exhibits submicron grains with nearly defect free intragrain regions
J. Noirot et al., J. Nucl. Mater. 372, 318 (2008)
• Understand the role of grain boundaries on thermal transport • Two approaches
– Single boundary (Atomistic Simulations)– Many boundaries (Boltzmann Transport Equation)

Grain boundary conductance
• Much lower value than suggested by molecular dynamics modeling in UO2 (0.30 GW/m2K)• For multi-component systems need to include the effect of defect segregation, and stoichiometry
variations near grain boundary

• Original goal: to study transport across Σ29 grain boundary in Si - Silicon has similar optical properties as UO2, the experimental methodology for one material can be
applied to the other- Thermal transport across grain boundaries in silicon has been modeled extensively enabling direct and
immediate comparison of experiment and theory• Interface characterization reveals a 4.5 nm SiO2 layer

• Experimentally measured conductance 0.11 GW/m2K
• Overall good agreement between model and experiment– SW potentials generally overestimate
the conductivity

thermoelastic• Laser ablation can be used to generate larger

Shear

SAW
Pulse or chopped laser beam
Thermoelastic generation (i.e. nondestructive)
• Far field directivity pattern for bulk shear and longitudinal waves is due to mode conversion at the surface. Very little energy travels along the epicentral direction.
• 70% of energy goes into SAW and 30% into bulk waves• Well defined directivity pattern of shear wave can be exploited for locating flaws
