Abstract
Processing defects such as porosity and impurities may be present in nanocrystalline materials produced by inert gas condensation and compaction. New synthesis and compaction devices were designed and built to improve the sample quality. Nanocrystalline Pd and Cu made in these new systems have reduced levels of hydrogen and oxygen impurities and increased density compared with materials made under similar conditions in the old system. It was more difficult to produce and maintain extremely fine grain sizes in the high-purity, high-density nanocrystalline Pd and Cu synthesized in this study.
