被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.08(Multidisciplinary Sciences)鋼の特性を決める上で重要な鋼中のC量は、鋼の生産技術に大きく左右される。このため、ミュオンを使って鋼のC含有量を非破壊で測定する新しい方法を提案する。この方法は、生産中の鋼の品質管理だけでなく、貴重な鋼製考古学的遺物の分析にも使えるかもしれない。負の電荷を持つミュオンは原子系を形成し、最終的には核に吸収されるか電子に崩壊する。ミュオンの寿命は、Fe原子かC原子に捕らわれるかによってかなり違い、ミュオン停止位置での元素含有量をミュオン寿命測定で特定できる。C/Feのミュオン捕獲確率とCの元素含有量の関係は直線的で、ミュオン寿命測定で鋼のC含有量を定量的に決められる。さらに、ミュオンの入射エネルギーを調整して、0.5mm厚の3種類の鋼板からなる積層サンプルの各層でミュオンを停止させ、0.20-1.03wt%の範囲でC含有量を深さ選択的に、サンプルを壊さずに決定することに成功した。

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0(Instruments & Instrumentation)For the purpose of future visualization of the flow field in superfluid helium-4, clusters of the triplet state excimer He are generated along the micro-scale recoil tracks of the neutron-absorption reaction n + He 
T + p. This reaction is induced by neutron irradiation of the He fraction contained in natural isotopic abundance liquid helium with neutron beams either from the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex, Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (J-PARC)/Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility or from the Kyoto University Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science. These He clusters are expected to be ideal tracers of the normal-fluid component in superfluid helium with several advantageous properties. Evidence of the excimer generation is inferred by detection of laser induced fluorescence emitted from the He clusters excited by a purpose-built short pulse gain-switched titanium:sapphire (Ti:sa) laser operating at a wavelength of 905 nm. The setup and performance characteristics of the laser system including the Ti:sa and two continuous wave re-pumping lasers are described. Detection at the fluorescence wavelength of 640 nm is performed by using optical bandpass filtered photomultiplier tubes (PMT). Electrical noise in the PMT acquisition traces could successfully be suppressed by post-processing with a simple algorithm. Despite other laser-related backgrounds, the excimer was clearly identified by its fluorescence decay characteristics. Production of the excimer was found to be proportional to the neutron flux, adjusted via insertion of different collimators into the neutron beam. These observations suggest that the apparatus we constructed does function in the expected manner and, therefore, has the potential for groundbreaking turbulence research with superfluid helium.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：4.65(Physics, Applied)For flow visualization study of quantum turbulence in superfluid He, He excimers are unique tracers which follow only normal-fluid component flow above 1 K. To generate detectable small He clouds (clusters) required for full-space velocity field measurements, we have adopted a new method based on neutron absorption reaction of He impurities in He and conducted proof-of-principle experiments. Generation of the He excimers was detected by laser-induced fluorescence using photomultiplier tubes. The fluorescence was observed to increase proportionally to the neutron flux, suggesting that a sufficient amount of He excimers were generated by neutrons. We also estimated the number of He excimers possibly generated by 
-rays and found that the relevant contribution was less than 40%. Thus, the majority of the He excimers was confirmed to be generated via n-He absorption reactions.

被引用回数：12 パーセンタイル：79.53(Chemistry, Analytical)Per-atom muon capture ratios are precisely determined from characteristic muonic X-ray measurements of three nitrogen oxide samples (NO, NO, and NO) at pressures below 100 kPa. A higher density of covalent electrons at the N atoms relative to the O atoms is required if we explain the experimental results using the proposed muon capture models. From molecular orbit calculations, we found that the electron distributions of only the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO) are dominant at the N atoms, and the electrons in the HOMO significantly contribute to the muon capture phenomena in the nitrogen oxide molecules.

被引用回数：18 パーセンタイル：74.14(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Using an intense negative muon source, we have studied the internal magnetic fields in a powder sample of magnesium hydride. By extracting the signal from the negative muon captured on Mg nuclei, we found that the negative muon spin rotation and relaxation spectra clearly showed a Kubo-Toyabe type relaxation, which indicates a random magnetic field at the Mg site. The field distribution width obtained is very consistent with the predicted value at the Mg site estimated by dipole field calculations, supporting our claim to have observed the nuclear magnetic fields of hydrogens in magnesium hydride.

As a result, the cross-sectional distribution of Nd in the adsorbent was successfully observed, and it was first revealed that Nd remained in the region corresponding to internal cavities of the adsorbent even after an elution process. This fact implies that the internal structure of the adsorbent must be modified for the improvement of the recovery rate of MA.

We report on negative muon beam imaging at J-PARC MUSE using a newly-developed online muon beam profile monitor. A beam spot of a 3.8-MeV pulsed negative muon beam was clearly visualized in a few minutes. Decay electron background was significantly reduced owing to high-speed gating capability of a gated image intensifier installed in the muon beam profile monitor. A 3D map of negative muon intensity distribution was obtained at around the beam exit in the D2 experimental area, using a movable feature of this instrument.

Many elemental analysis methods have been developed, but three-dimensional nondestructive elemental analysis of bulk materials has remained elusive. Recently, we developed a nondestructive depth-profiling elemental analysis method after a decade of research. This new method utilizes a new type of probe; a negative muon particle and high-energy muonic X-rays emitted after the muon stops in a material. We performed elemental depth profiling on an old Japanese gold coin (Tempo-Koban) using a low-momentum negative muon beam and successfully determined that the Au concentration in the coin gradually decreased with depth over a micrometer length scale.

This technique is a promising method for micromachining of commodity plastics such as acrylic resin. In this paper, we introduce fabrication of microscopic devices made of a relatively thick (75 m) acrylic sheet. An optimization of the fluence of 3 MeV proton beam to induce the chain scission in the sheet was performed at Takasaki Advanced Radiation Research Institute, JAEA. A software program that converts image pixels into coordinates data has been developed, and a fine jigsaw puzzle was fabricated on the sheet. The piece size of jigsaw puzzle is 50 50 m. For practical use, A line and space test-chart for spatial resolution measurement on neutron radiography was also successfully created.

In this study, a PMMA-based MZ waveguide was fabricated utilizing PBW to develop a thermo-optic switch. A 10-m-thick PMMA film was firstly spin-coated onto the 15 m SiO film as the under cladding. Cores of a MZ waveguide with 8 m width were secondary drawn at the dose of 100 nC/mm in the PMMA film using PBW with H
beam of the size of 1.1 m and beam current of 50 pA at 1.7 MeV. The MZ waveguide was drawn by symmetrically coupling two Y junctions and its branching angle was set to 2
to reduce optical branching loss. Finally a 10-m-thick PMMA film was deposited again on the sample as an upper cladding by spin-coating. The mode-field diameter of near field patterns with about 10 m width was observed at 
= 1.55 m on the basis of a fundamental mode without no higher-order modes which required to develop our objective MZ type thermo-optic switch for optical-fiber telecommunication. The result of the observation showed that the PMMA-based single-mode MZ waveguide for = 1.55 m was successfully fabricated using PBW. As the next step to develop the optical switch, we will form a Ti thin-film heater and A
electrodes on the MZ waveguide using photolithography and wet-etching processes.

被引用回数：5 パーセンタイル：89.73(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)We develop a thermo-optic switch of the Mach-Zehnder type polymer waveguide using proton beam writing (PBW). In this study, we succeeded in near field pattern Mach-Zehnder type single mode polymer waveguides at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The samples for the waveguides were composed with a 15--thick under-cladding layer of SiO deposited on a Si substrate using radio-frequency sputtering and a 10-m-thick PMMA film spin-coated onto the SiO layer as a core layer. We wrote Mach-Zehnder type waveguides having a width of 8 m on the PMMA layer by PBW with a beam size of 1 m and a beam current of 50 pA. After this writing, the 10-m-thick-PMMA layer was deposited again as an upper-cladding layer by spin-coating. In the observation of these waveguides, the light of laser of 1550-nm wavelength was injected into one side of the waveguide through a single-mode fiber. From the observation of the light emitted from the opposite side of the waveguides, near field patterns was observed using a vidicon camera with an optical microscope. The observation result demonstrated that the light traveled by single mode in the Mach-Zehnder type polymer waveguide. In the conference, we will report the development of the Mach-Zehnder type polymer waveguide in detail. In addition, the thermo-optic switch at the wavelength of 1550 nm by the Mach-Zehnder type polymer waveguide will also be briefly reported.

In this investigation, we observed that the cross-linking reaction in PFO occurred without a cross-linking agent using PBW. Furthermore, not only the surface morphology but also structure and shape on PFO films were changed from nano-meter to micro-meter size by controlling the fluence of proton beam irradiation on the basis of the investigation. Consequently, the structure of the arabic numbers was successful fabricated as three-dimensional PFO structures with the aspect ratio of 12 at the fluence of 3.5 10
