Not listed INDIVIDUAL RESEARCHERS AT CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY ARE COOPERATING WITH GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER IN AN EFFORT TO UNDERSTAND THE LIFECYCLE OF REFRACTORY MATERIALS IN ASTROPHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTS. IN THIS EFFORT WE MEASURE THE VAPOR PRESSURES OF REFRACTORY MATERIALS SUCH AS IRON NICKEL COBALT PALLADIUM AND SIO AS A FUNCTION OF TEMPERATURE UP TO TEMPERATURES OF 2000K. WE MEASURE THE INFRARED SPECTRA OF FRESH REFRACTORY CONDENSATES AS WELL AS THE SPECTRA OF ANNEALED AND HYDRATED CONDENSATES AS A FUNCTION OF COMPOSITION TIME AND TEMPERATURE. WE STUDY THE NUCLEATION OF REFRACTORY VAPORS OF VARIOUS COMPOSITIONS AS A FUNCTION OF TEMPERATURE BOTH THEORETICALLY AND IN EXPERIMENTS CARRIED OUT AT GSFC. WE ALSO STUDY THE EFFECT OF CONDENSATE SURFACES USED TO MEDIATE REACTIONS OF CO NITROGEN AND HYDROGEN AT VARIOUS TEMPERATURES TO PRODUCE BOTH SOLID CARBONACEOUS COATINGS ON THE GRAINS AS WELL AS GASEOUS ORGANIC PRODUCTS. THESE EFFORTS INVOLVE THE USE OF THE CONDENSATION FLOW APPARATUS A BELL-JAR-BASED NUCLEATION SYSTEM AS WELL AS A CARBON EVAPORATION SYSTEM TO PRODUCE THE PARTICLES USED IN OUR STUDIES. WE ALSO USE BOTH FTIR AS WELL AS UV-VISIBLE SPECTROPHOTOMETERS TO OBTAIN THE SPECTRA OF MATERIALS. WE EMPLOY A VACUUM ANNEALING FURNACE AS WELL AS A HIGH-PRESSURE REACTION BOMB IN ORDER TO OBTAIN METAMORPHIC PRODUCTS STARTING WITH OUR INITIAL CONDENSATES WHOSE SPECTRAL AS WELL AS PHYSICAL PROPERTIES ARE ALSO STUDIED. WE USE A HIGHLY MODIFIED THERMOCHAN THERMOGRAVIMETRIC APPARATUS TO OBTAIN REFRACTORY VAPOR PRESSURES FROM MATERIALS PLACED INTO KNUDSEN EFFUSIVE CELLS. MANY OF THESE RESULTS ARE MODELED ON PERSONAL COMPUTERS BOTH AT GSFC AND IN THE POSSESSION OF EMPLOYEES OF CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY. $0 6/25/21 Not listed INDIVIDUAL RESEARCHERS AT CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY ARE COOPERATING WITH GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER IN AN EFFORT TO UNDERSTAND THE LIFECYCLE OF REFRACTORY MATERIALS IN ASTROPHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTS.
