This complementary approach allows for accessing both essential components of Al alloys, namely vacancies and alloying elements. It is found, that during natural ageing the chemical environment of vacancies is formed both of Cu and Mg atoms and that the rearrangement of vacancy surroundings persists the hardness increase of Al-Cu-Mg alloys. During natural ageing two different regimes of vacancy environment are detected and interpreted in terms of cluster growth and vacancy capture. Features of the near edge structure of the X-ray absorption are interpreted using theoretical calculations obtained by the FEFF8.4 code. Thus the agglomeration of Cu and Mg, which is accompanied by lattice distortions around Cu atoms, can be probed. A minimal size of Cu-Mg co-clusters is proposed for later stages of natural ageing.

By use of magnetic contrast agents in MRI one can even gain insight into some metabolic functions of a host. Conclusion on the metabolism, however, can only be drawn if (a) the metabolic function of interest locally affects the concentration of the contrast agent, and (b) the contrast agent leads to a clearly observable change in MRI signal within the region of interest. We present a contrast mechanism which aims to distinguish between magnetic contrast agents which are conjugated to cells or macromolecules and those which are not, independent on their spatial distribution. which is expected to picture the mobility of labeled macromolecules. The mobility might be changed, e.g., by the viscosity of the MNPs surroundings or by the macromolecules reactions to cells or other objects. which instantaneously can be switched on and off and thus provide specific information by immediate comparison between pictures taken with this contrast and those taken without it. The high specificity to chemical reactions of the here proposed contrast mechanism might become basis of a new method for functional imaging. \emph{Method} The spin-lattice relaxation time T1 of a sample volume decreases if magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) which are connected to mesoscopic objects are subjected to an ultrasonic wave at MRI Larmor frequency. This effect can be interpreted as a change in relaxivity of the MNPs under the influence of resonant ultrasound (US). MNPs subjected to an ultrasonic wave are accelerated periodically with US frequency, which now is assumed to match the Larmor frequency. It is well known that the induced translational movement of the MNPs does not lead to a pronounced change in the MRI relaxation times. If a MNP is connected to a organic macromolecule, however, the compound bends and to tilts periodically in the ultrasonic wave because its center of mass differs from its center of geometry (Fig. to right). Consequently these MNPs act as radio frequency near field antennas, inducing additional relaxation to nuclei in the vicinity of the MNPs. \emph{Results} We measured the proton spin-lattice relaxation time of a colloidal solution of MNPs ({\O} = 50 nm) connected to a macromolecule (chicken IgG) by means of an inversion recovery sequence (TI = 550 ms, TR = 20,000 ms) and analyzed the spectral composition of the 90\(^{\circ}\) FID (cf. Fig. to left). The abscissa denotes the frequency match between Larmor frequencies and US frequency (fUS = 18.32 MHz). When US was applied during the recovery process we could observe a change in signal amplitudes for spectral components matching the US frequency (upper curves). This we interpreted as a gain in relaxivity of the MNP-macromolecule compounds (lower curves). No changes in the FIDs' spectral amplitudes under the influence of resonant US were observed for a comparable solution of standard MNPs. We observed a gain in relaxivity of more than 15 \% at US intensities of P = 10-3 W/cm². \emph{Conclusion} Experiments for observing this contrast in a low field MRI device are underway. Due to the possibility to distinguish between bound an unbound MNPs independent on their spatial distribution and due to the improved contrast reliability by immediate comparison with not-contrast-enhanced pictures we expect this contrast method to fundamentally improve functional MRI.}, tags = {nmr}, misc = {Konferenz}, booktitle = {Joint Annual Meeting ISMRM and ESMRMB, Stockholm - Sweden}, author = {Hoehl, C. and Elmiladi, N. and Jahanbakhsh, F. and Repp, F. and Wolf, P. and Maier, K.} } @Conference { menismrm10, title = {Detecting breast phantom lesions with acoustic radiation force in MR images: experiment and finite-element simulations}, year = {2010}, month = {5}, abstract = {\emph{Introduction} Acoustic radiation contrast (ARC) in MR phase images is a recently developed method to image and quantify non-invasively the viscoelastic properties in vivo [1,2]. It is well known that tissue elastic properties may be altered by tumors. Young's modulus of breast tumors may differ from surrounding tissues by a factor of 90-fold. The ARC-MR images may be helpful in the distinction of benign from malignant masses. To test the applicability and feasibility of ARC-MR, a commercially available breast phantom was investigated and finite-element simulations were performed. Combining measurements and finite-element simulations yields the elastic and acoustic parameters of the phantom. \emph{Methods and Materials} Ultrasound (US) waves with a center frequency of 2.5 MHz were coupled into the breast phantom with the focal plane inside it. The acoustic radiation force leads to a displacement of the material inside its path in beam propagation direction. The displacement can be calculated from the phase shift in the phase images according to [2]. It was measured using a modified spin-echo sequence with monopolar gradients added for displacement encoding (sequence parameters: TE/TR: 60/400 ms, monopolar gradient length and amplitude: 20 ms and 20 mT/m, voxel: 1.7x1.7x3 mm3). The 20 ms US pulse was irradiated simultaneously with the second gradient pulse using external triggering. Intensities of 35 W/cm2 were used and provided by a home-built MR-compatible piezoelectric transducer. The transducer had a diameter of 5 cm and a focal length of 22 cm. The phase images were acquired at a 1.5 T Magnetom Avanto scanner (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen (Germany)) with a 4 channel breast coil (NORAS MRI products GmbH, H{\"o}chberg (Germany)). The breast elastography phantom (CIRS, Norfolk, Virginia (USA)) accurately mimics the ultrasonic characteristics of tissues found in an average human breast. The lesions are three times stiffer than the background so they can be detected on elastograms [4]. A lesion of 0.9 cm diameter was investigated. For the finite-element simulations (Marc Mentat, MSC Software Corporation, Santa Ana, CA (USA)) the parameters were adjusted to fit the measurements: US beam diameter: 0.4 cm, US pulse length: 20 ms, US intensity: 35 W/cm2; geometry: cylinder with diameter: 4 cm, length: 6,4 cm; material parameters: elastic moduli: 10 kPa for the breast tissue [5] and 30 kPa for the lesion, Poisson's ratio: 0.495, density: 1 g/cm3, absorption coefficient: 0.345 cm-1. \emph{Results} Figure 1 a) \& b) show a T2-weighted amplitude image and a phase image of the breast phantom in sagittal plane without US; direction of displacement detection: A}, tags = {mrt}, misc = {Konferenz}, booktitle = {ISMRM 18th Scientific Meeting \& Exhibition, Stockholm}, author = {Mende, J. and Radicke, M. and Kofahl, A.-L. and Schindler, J. and Ulucay, D. and Finsterbusch, J. and Weber, B. and Maier, K.} } @Mastersthesis { jahanbakhsh, title = {Magnetische Nanopartikel in Gewebe - MRT-Kontrast durch resonaten Ultraschall}, year = {2010}, month = {4}, tags = {nmr}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Bonn}, type = {Diplomarbeit}, author = {Jahanbakhsh, F.} } @Mastersthesis { ulucay, title = {3D Darstellung von Verschiebungsfeldern - Schallstrahlungskraft in der {MRT}}, year = {2010}, month = {3}, tags = {mrt}, url = {https://agmaier.hiskp.uni-bonn.de/fileadmin/publications/2010_Diplom_Ulucay.pdf}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Bonn}, type = {Diplomarbeit}, author = {Ulucay, D.} } @Mastersthesis { wolf, title = {Resonanter Ultraschall in der Magnetresonanztomographie}, year = {2010}, month = {3}, tags = {nmr}, url = {https://agmaier.hiskp.uni-bonn.de/fileadmin/publications/2010_Diplom_Wolf.pdf}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Bonn}, type = {Diplomarbeit}, author = {Wolf, P.

In this work the changes in the defect concentration were determined during tension tests on the aluminium alloys AA2024, AA6013 and AA6082. The results show that these changes depend on the configuration and the heat treatment of the alloys. Moreover, alternating load fatigue tests were performed on AA6082. The defect distribution was measured laterally resolved employing the BPM in several early stages of fatigue. Using those results the number of cycles to fatigue failure was extrapolated. The trueness of the prediction was tested by further fatiguing the sample until failure occurs. (C) 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH \& Co.

By use of magnetic contrast agents in MRI one can even gain insight into some of the tissue's metabolic functions. Conclusions on the metabolism, however, can only be drawn if (a) the metabolic function in question locally affects the concentration of the contrast agent, and if (b) the contrast agent leads to a clearly observable change of the MRI signal within the region under consideration. First observations of a contrast mechanism which addresses these limitation have been presented during last ISMRM conference, and a more complete presentation and discussion has been submitted to Phys. Rev. Let. recently. Questions remained open, however, whether the technical requirements for the contrast mechanism may become compatible with in vivo measurements in a standard MRI device. Current research promises to solve the technical difficulties and first observations of the contrast in a low field MRI device are underway. \emph{Method} Contrast agents based on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) affect the transverse relaxation times of nuclei of the solvent (e. g. protons) in their vicinity due to their magnetic stray field. MNP also affect the longitudinal relaxation time T1 if the thermal motion of the MNPs happens to lead to local field fluctuations at nuclei Larmor frequency. It was shown, that ultrasound at Larmor frequency increased the influence of specially prepared MNPs on T1 considerably if ultrasound (US) matches Larmor frequency. These experiments were carried out using an NMR spectrometer where shielding of the receiving coils can be realized easily. In an MRI device, however, US radiation at MRI Larmor frequency would lead to disturbance of the MRI device. \emph{Results} Picture1 presents the pressure evolution over time at a given position in a US wave (fUS = 2.5 MHz) in a water sample (measurement with hydrophone with bandwith of 60 MHz). Deviations from the sinusoidal wave-form originate from the strong nonlinear behavior of the water sample. Exploiting frequency doubling effects in tissue not only avoids electromagnetic cross-coupling between the US device and the MRI device, but also provides us with the higher penetration depth of the fundamental wave. \emph{Conclusion} The contrast mechanism allows to distinguish between bound and unbound MNPs independent on their spatial distribution. The strong nonlinearities of tissue exposed to an ultrasonic wave promise this contrast mechanism to become compatible with standard MRI devices.

Similar magnetic nanoparticles are already used as contrast agents. It is interesting to control their effect by additional parameters, which can be switched on and off externally, and depend on the properties of the surrounding tissue. In performing proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, US is applied to an aqueous sample containing magnetic nanoparticles coated with antibodies from one side only. Therefore, while the asymmetric magnetic nanoparticles in the sample are subjected to an US wave, a torque is initiated along the vibrational motion and will cause the particles to tilt periodically. The asymmetric magnetic nanoparticles will act as an US driven radio frequency antenna, leading to an increase in the spectral density function at the US frequency. If the US frequency matches the Larmor frequency, protons in the near field region of the particle are stimulated to lose energy, and the T1 of the aqueous solution decreases. A significant increase of the longitudinal proton relaxation rate is experimentally observed when using a colloidal aqueous solution of asymmetric magnetic nanoparticles.}, tags = {nmr}, misc = {Konferenz}, booktitle = {DPG Fr{\"u}hjahrstagung des Fachverbandes Strahlen- und Medizinphysik, M{\"u}nchen}, author = {Elmiladi, N. and H{\"o}hl, C. and Maier, K.} } @Conference { radpg09, title = {Schallabsorption und viskoelastische Parameter als Kontrast in der MRT}, year = {2009}, month = {3}, abstract = {Mittels eines Ultraschallpulses wird in einer Probe eine statische Auslenkung w{\"a}hrend dieser Pulsdauer erzeugt.

MRI has been further advanced by the development of contrast agents such as Gadolinium compounds that enable more specific and clearer images and enlargement of detectable organs and systems. Magnetic nanometer-sized, colloidal particles (nanoparticles) are well known and extensively used in MRI as contrast agent, too. Due to their influence on the relaxation processes, they offer a possibility to label organic macro molecules. It is interesting to control their effect on MRI by additional parameters, which may be switched on and off externally or may depend on the properties of the surrounding tissue. We develop such a new contrast method with nanoparticles, by applying ultrasound (US) while performing proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. \emph{Method} The basic process involved in the relaxation in MRI is coupling between the magnetic moments of the spin and photons with the corresponding larmor frequency - which can lead to stimulated emission or absorbtion. This results in an energy transfer out of the spin system to the lattice (longitudinal relaxation process) or transfer within the spin system (transversal relaxation process). To gain higher sensitivity with a contrast agent in MRI, the contrast agent has to have a greater effect on the relaxation times. Especially prepared nanoparticles work as a radio frequency transmitter. For this, we are using two completely different kinds of nanoparticles: a) Superparamagnetic of Iron Oxide (SPIO) To increase the spectral density of photons with a special frequency, SPIO should work as an antenna. The SPIOs are prepared such that the center of geometry differs from the center of mass. This is done by sedimentation of the SPIOs, so that we can add macromolecules from one side only. Due to the particle velocity in the US-wave, SPIOs are accelerated and due to their asymmetric shape they tilt periodically. This produces additional photons with US-frequency. b) Piezoelectric Nanoparticles Piezoelectric particles have the ability to generate an electric potential in response to applied mechanical stress. In combination with the periodic pressure variation in an US-wave, these particles function as a transmitter (displacement current). To achieve this, a powder consisting of 100nm sized particles is prepared into a colloid in water by coating with PAA. The HF-fields emitted by nanoparticles are not coherent and therefore unable to rotate the net-magnetization. \emph{Results} Influence of the US on NMR measurements for the SPIO was examined. Early measurements showed a change of the relaxation times T1 and T2* in water when using piezoelectric particles. Furthermore, measurements on SPIO indicates the influence of the US at the resonance frequency. The figure to the right compares the amplitude of the FID after a 90\(^{\circ}\) puls in an inversion recovery sequence with and without US. These measurements were taken before getting the SPIO in the final shape. Sedimentation process of the SPIO have been achieved by applying a combination of centrifugal force and magnetic force. Conclusion Using nanoparticles as local antenna in combination with US promises new contrast methods which image properties of the tissue. Even without any special preparation of the nanoparticles, an effect of the US on the MRI-Signal has been seen.}, tags = {nmr}, misc = {Konferenz}, booktitle = {ISMRM Sixteenth Scientific Meeting and Exhibition, Toronto - Canada}, author = {Hoehl, C. and Elmiladi, N. and Mende, J. and Maier, K.} } @Conference { oehismrm08, title = {Visualization of viscoelastic properties by combining US pulses and MRI}, year = {2008}, month = {5}, abstract = {\emph{Purpose} Ultrasound (US) and MRI are two highly sophisticated non-destructive methods which make it possible to visualize the inner parts of the body. Contrasts between tissues in the MRI measurement are based on the physical parameters T1, T2, T2*, and the proton density, which can be modified by the application of contrast agents. The corresponding parameter in the US measurement is the sound impedance. The aim of our studies is it to combine the two methods and introduce US as a tool to generate contrasts in an MRI picture between tissues and liquids with differing viscoelastic properties. Therefore an US setup that does not affect the imaging of the MR scanner has been developed. The US emitter had to be shielded electromagnetically in order to avoid crosstalk within the MRI coils. \emph{Method } In order to apply US to a sample during an MRI measurement, some kind of synchronisation between the MRI sequence and the application of the US pulses has to be achieved. A simple antenna makes it possible to visualize the rf-pulses of the sequence on an oscilloscope. These signals can be used to trigger the US emitter and place the US pulses at any desired time in the MRI sequence. Once coupled into the sample, a damping of the US wave along the path of propagation occurs which corresponds to a decrease of the acoustic radiation pressure along the direction of propagation. This pressure gradient leads to a force on each volume element along the path of the US beam. In a liquid, this results in a movement of the molecules along the US path in the direction of propagation of the US. This movement dies away when the US-pulse is over and reestablishes with the next pulse. When a piece of tissue is placed in the US path, the decrease of the acoustic radiation pressure leads to a quasi-statical displacement of the irradiated parts of the tissue in the direction of the propagating sound wave for the duration of the US pulse. This displacement depends on the viscoelastic properties and the of the tissue and the amplitude and absorption of the US. When the pulse stops, the restoring forces in the tissue make it return to its original position. A diffusion sensitive sequence, which is sensitive to movements in the direction of propagation, is able to visualize the sound path in a liquid (fig. 1) and the displacement of the tissue. All measurements were performed with the standard eight channel head coil on an 1.5T SIEMENS AVANTO scanner at the research center LIFE \& BRAIN in Bonn, Germany. During a diffusion-weighted EPI sequence (EPI2D_DIFF_RO), US was irradiated into several liquids (water, glycerine, ethanol) for 30ms at a frequency of 9.41MHz with a maximum excess pressure of about 1 Bar. The US pulse was applied after the first of the two 180\(^{\circ}\) pulses which guaranteed an overlap with the diffusion gradient. For the measurements on tissue, an US lens with a resonance frequency of 4.77MHz was constructed and a simple GRE sequence (Te=12.1ms, Tr=123ms) was used. \emph{Results} Figure 1 shows a setup, where the US beam was deflected by a sheet of glass in a water sample. Only if the direction of the diffusion gradients is aligned with the direction of the sound propagation, the US beam is visible in the MR image as a region with lower signal. Figure 1: Deflection of the US beam at a sheet of glass. At the top of the pictures a rod made of acrylic glass is visible which serves as a wave guide for the US. The US transducer itself is not visible in the picture. The container has a height of 8cm. (Parameters: Te=155ms, Tr=5700ms; US: Duration=30ms, Voltage=-6dBm). The measurements on different liquids show a difference in the US effect depending on the properties of the liquid. In water the diminishment of the signal is visible as a straight path, whereas in glycerine a much shorter but wider region is affected by the US. This is due to much higher damping of the US wave in Glycerine. The acoustic radiation pressure is therefore stronger, but only existent in a very short region. This region is wider than in water because of higher friction between the glycerine molecules which corresponds to a higher momentum transfer. In a piece of pork neck the US effect also becomes visible as a black spot. Only in this region, the piece of pork neck was displaced during the US pulse. The strength of this displacement depends on the viscoelastic properties of the tissue. Figure 2: US beam in a 47\% glycerine (viscosity=6mPas) mixture and in water (viscosity=1mPas) at different US amplitudes. An amplitude of -6dBm corresponds to an excess pressure in water of about 1 Pa. (Parameters: Te=106ms, Tr=3500ms, US: Duration=30ms). Conclusion The combination of US pulses and MRI creates contrasts concerning the viscoelastic properties of liquids and tissue.

However, the corresponding energy region in the spectrum is overlaid by a huge background caused by the annihilation radiation itself and the Compton spectrum of other gamma lines having an energy above 511 keV. Usually these backgrounds are reduced by measuring both annihilation quanta in coincidence. By mathematically analyzing the background contributions, we open another possibility to obtain the high-momentum region employing one single germanium detector. A necessary precondition is employing either background-free positron beams or a low-background positron source, e.g. Ge-68, instead of the widely used positron emitter Na-22. The Ge-68-source emits positrons with an endpoint energy of about 1.9 MeV, where as the contribution of gamma quanta having higher energies than the annihilation radiation at 511 keV is negligible low. When analyzing spectra from metals and semiconductors according to the described background subtraction, the same information contained in the momentum range up to 35 x 10(3)m(0)c or beyond can be extracted, as if the spectra were measured employing a coincidence setup with two Ge-detectors.

A new method estimating the remaining useful life of fatigued components by employing the S-parameter as a precursor for failure will be introduced.

It turns out that by freezing the decomposition kinetics during measurements we can detect vacancy–solute atom pairs. The formation of larger solute clusters with structural vacancies is seen by an increase of the mean positron lifetime in the course of storage at room temperature (RT). Earlier findings concerning aging at RT were unable to discover this effect. The detected changes are interpreted in terms of cluster formation. Thus we show that positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) is one of the very few methods to access early stages of decomposition in metallic alloys.

To construct a reliable W{\"o}hler diagram, it is necessary to perform alternating load fatigue experiments on a huge number of equivalent samples for up to 108 or 109 load cycles. The lifetime under a specific applied load is then deduced from this diagram using statistical techniques. Physically, the reason for fatigue and finally fracture is the accumulation of lattice defects like dislocations, vacancies and vacancy clusters, which are produced even when the load is significantly below the material’s yield strength. The progress of fatigue can be observed from its earliest stages – after only a few load cycles – up to the final state of fracture by employing positrons as extremely sensitive lattice defect probes. In situ experiments can be performed to study test samples or real construction parts under realistic conditions. In steels a critical defect density is reached just before fatigue failure occurs. The point of failure can therefore be extrapolated from the early stages of fatigue by monitoring the defect density. Spatially resolved experiments performed on a simple carbon steel and employing the Bonn Positron Microprobe indicate significant variations in defect densities over the region under stress even after just a few load cycles. These inhomogenieties grow from a typical starting size of less than a millimeter to encompass the entire volume after further fatigue. With more experimental experience and a better theoretical understanding of this process, this new prediction method should lead to much simpler and more reliable predictions of the lifetimes of metallic materials in the near future.}, tags = {material}, url = {http://www.springer.com/physics/complexity/book/978-3-540-28610-3}, editor = {S.

The aim of the project was an imaging of the defect distribution in the shear zones and the forward deformation zone as well as the analysis of the influence of the cutting parameters on the damaging depth in the surface near layer. An empiric dependency between the S-Parameter and the hardening could be determined by analysing tensile tests.

For a variety of high purity metals the resulting momentum distributions have exactly the same shapes up to 35 x 10(-3) m(0)c, as those obtained with coincidence Doppler broadening of the annihilation radiation using a two-detector system. This data analysis applies to any positron source without high energy gammas or a slow positron beam system with just a single Ge-detector and enables the possibility of analysing the chemical surrounding at the positron trapping site without any additional hardware. In particular, in combination with a slow positron microbeam, it allows a spatially resolved measurement of the electron's momentum distribution.

This instrument provides laterally resolved positron annihilation measurements, which are sensitive to lattice defects like vacancies and dislocations. These commercial alloys have undergone a solution heat treatment and quenching prior to fatigue testing. Subsequently, they have been aged at room temperature and 190degreesC for AA2024 and AA6013, respectively. We performed the fatigue crack generation both in air and under the influence of a chemically aggressive environment (artificial seawater). Due to the corrosive environment hydrogen is probably produced at the fresh fractured surface in the vicinity of the crack tip. We discuss the possible implications of in-diffused hydrogen on the produced lattice defects, especially when there is a delayed migration of vacancies in the lattice, due to a reduced mobility.

The results coincide with the expected damage profiles. Because of the small beam diameter-the great advantage of the positron microprobe-only very small areas (about 20 to 30 mu m in diameter) have to be damaged. Therefore, the irradiation times required to produce samples for investigations of radiation defects caused by electrons are reduced enormously. This means that much higher defect concentrations can be produced in an acceptable time and the positron measurements can cover a wider range of defect concentrations. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
