Dynamic transformation from alpha (HCP) to beta (BCC) phase in a zirconium alloy was revealed by the use of in-situ neutron diffraction during hot compression. The dynamic transformation was unexpectedly detected during isothermal compression at temperatures of 900$$^{circ}$$C and 950$$^{circ}$$C (alpha + beta two-phase region) and strain rates of 0.01 s$$^{-1}$$ and 0.001 s$$^{-1}$$, even though equilibrium two-phase states were achieved prior to the hot compression. Dynamic transformation was accompanied by diffusion of Sn from beta to alpha phase, which resulted in changes of lattice parameters and a characteristic microstructure of alpha grains. The details of dynamic transformation are discussed using the evolution of lattice constants.

The decay of the 13/2$$^+$$ isomeric state in $$^{183}$$Hg was observed for the first time following the $$alpha$$ decay of the 13/2$$^+$$ isomer in $$^{187}$$Pb produced in the $$^{142}$$Nd$$(^{50}$$Cr$$, 2p3n)$$ reaction. Using $$alpha$$-$$gamma$$ delayed coincidence measurements, the half-life of this isomer was measured to be 290(30) $$mu$$s. This isomer is proposed to deexcite by an unobserved low-energy $$M$$2 transition to the known 9/2$$^-$$ member of a strongly prolate-deformed 7/2$$^-$$[514] band, followed by a 105-keV $$M$$1 transition to the bandhead. A lower limit of B($$M$$2)$$geq$$0.018 W.u. was deduced for the unobserved transition. The presumed retardation is proposed to be due to the notable shape change between the initial, nearly spherical, and the final, strongly deformed, states. A similar scenario is also considered for the 13/2$$^+$$ isomer in $$^{181}$$Hg, suggesting both are cases of shape isomers. The B($$M$$2) systematics of neutron transitions across the nuclear chart is discussed.

Two-step Mott transition in Ni(S,Se)$$_2$$; $$mu$$SR studies and charge-spin percolation model

A pyrite system NiS$$_{2-x}$$Se$$_x$$ exhibits a bandwidth controlled Mott transition via (S,Se) substitutions in a two-step process: the antiferromagnetic insulator (AFI) to antiferromagnetic metal (AFM) transition at $$xsim$$0.45 followed by the AFM to paramagnetic metal (PMM) transition at $$xsim$$1.0. Among a few other Mott systems which exhibit similar two-step transitions, Ni(S,Se)$$_2$$ is of particular interest because a large intermediate AFM region in the phase diagram would provide unique opportunities to study the interplay between the spin and charge order. By comparing and combining our muon spin relaxation studies and previous neutron scattering studies, here we propose a picture where the spin order is maintained by the percolation of "nonmetallic" localized and dangling Ni moments surrounded by S, while the charge transition from AFI to AFM is caused by the percolation of the conducting paths generated by the Ni-Se-Ni bonds.

Prompt and delayed $$gamma$$-ray spectroscopy of the neutron-deficient, semi-magic isotope $$^{187}$$Pb has been performed at the Argonne Gas-Filled Analyzer. A new 5.15(15)-$$mu$$s isomeric state at only 308 keV above the spherical 3/2$$^{-}$$ ground state is identified and classified as a shape isomer. A strongly-coupled band is observed on top of the isomer, which is nearly identical to the one built on the prolate 7/2$$^{-}$$[514] Nilsson state in the isotone $$^{185}$$Hg. Based on this similarity and on the result of the potential-energy surface calculations, the new isomer in $$^{187}$$Pb is proposed to originate from the same configuration. The retarded character of the 308-keV transition can be well explained by the significant difference between the prolate parent and spherical daughter configurations, leading to the shape isomerism. The combined results of the present work and the previous $$alpha$$-decay and laser spectroscopy studies present evidence for triple shape coexistence at low energy in the negative-parity configurations of $$^{187}$$Pb, which is well reproduced by the potential-energy surface calculations.

Load redistribution in eutectic high entropy alloy AlCoCrFeNi$$_{2.1}$$ during high temperature deformation

Jaladurgam, N. R.*; Lozinko, A.*; Guo, S.*; Harjo, S.; Colliander, M. H.*

Materialia, 22, p.101392_1 - 101392_4, 2022/05

The load redistribution between and within phases in eutectic high entropy alloy AlCoCrFeNi$$_{2.1}$$ was measured using in-situ neutron diffraction during tensile deformation at 973 K. The load partitioning between phases is reversed compared to lower temperatures, with L1$$_{2}$$ becoming the stronger phase. The evolution of the orientation-specific stresses and strains in the L1$$_{2}$$ phase suggests that cube slip dominates the response. The low strength, internal load transfer and ideally plastic response of the B2 phase indicate a change in deformation mechanism compared to lower temperatures.

The long-lived $$^{60}$$Fe (with a half-life of 2.62 Myr) is a crucial diagnostic of active nucleosynthesis in the Milky Way galaxy and in supernovae near the solar system. The neutron-capture reaction $$^{59}$$Fe(n,$$gamma$$)$$^{60}$$Fe on $$^{59}$$Fe (half-life=44.5 days) is the key reaction for the production of $$^{60}$$Fe in massive stars. This reaction cross section has been previously constrained by the Coulomb dissociation experiment, which offered partial constraint on the E1 $$gamma$$-ray strength function but a negligible constraint on the M1 and E2 components. In this work, for the first time, we use the surrogate ratio method to experimentally determine the $$^{59}$$Fe(n,$$gamma$$)$$^{60}$$Fe cross sections in which all the components are included. We derived a Maxwellian-averaged cross section of 27.5$$pm$$3.5 mb at $$kT$$ = 30 keV and 13.4$$pm$$1.7 mb at $$kT$$ = 90 keV, roughly 10%-20% higher than previous estimates. We analyzed the impact of our new reaction rates in nucleosynthesis models of massive stars and found that uncertainties in the production of $$^{60}$$Fe from the $$^{59}$$Fe(n,$$gamma$$)$$^{60}$$Fe rate are at most 25$$%$$. We conclude that stellar physics uncertainties now play a major role in the accurate evaluation of the stellar production of $$^{60}$$Fe.

本研究では、土壌中のSrを無添加でスクリーニングする方法の開発を目的として、模擬土壌(粘土鉱物のバーミキュライト,モンモリロナイト,カオリナイト)及び実際の土壌(照沼)に熱水浸出を行い、有機酸を生成した。安定ストロンチウム(SrCl$$_{2}$$)を土壌に吸着させ、10種類の有機酸を用いて、水熱条件下(120$$sim$$200$$^{circ}$$C)での模擬土壌からのSrの溶出量を0.3Mまで評価した。ストロンチウムを吸着したバーミキュライト(Sr-V)については、0.1Mのクエン酸が150$$^{circ}$$C、1時間の処理でSrの溶出に有効であることがわかった。これらの結果をもとに、照沼土壌の有機物からの有機酸の生成について検討した。照沼土壌の水熱処理では、200$$^{circ}$$C、0.5hの反応時間で最大量の有機酸が生成された。照沼土壌からのSrの溶出の可能性を確認するために、ストロンチウムを吸着した照沼土壌(Sr-S)を調べた。Sr-Sでは、200$$^{circ}$$Cで0.5hの反応時間で水熱処理を行うと、室温でSrの40%が溶出し、土壌中のSrのスクリーニングに無添加の方法が使えることがわかった。無添加の水熱浸出法は、化学分析の第一段階で固体を焼成する必要がないため、土壌中の金属の日常的なモニタリングや緊急時の対応にも応用できる。

原子力施設周辺では、環境試料中の放射化学分析(環境モニタリング)が行われる。環境試料中の$$alpha$$, $$beta$$核種の前処理は、従来、酸を用いて有機物を分解し、$$^{90}$$Sr, U, Pu等の対象核種を抽出する方法で行われている。そこで、酸の代わりに超臨界水を用いた環境に優しい新しい前処理法を開発した。本研究では、茨城県の土壌(黒ボク土)を用いて水熱前処理を行い、放射性Sr及びUの前処理を行った。その結果、Sr及びUの回収率はそれぞれ70%及び40%であった。また得られた回収率は、水の密度との相関関係にあることが分かった。開発した方法により、放射化学分析の前処理法における環境負荷を低減することができる。

In the safety analysis of sodium-cooled fast reactors, numerical simulations of various thermal-hydraulic phenomena with multicomponent and multiphase flows in core disruptive accidents (CDAs) are regarded as particularly difficult. In the material relocation phase of CDAs, core debris settle down on a core support structure and/or an in-vessel retention device and form a debris bed. The bed's shape is crucial for the subsequent relocation of the molten core and heat removal capability as well as re-criticality. In this study, a hybrid numerical simulation method, coupling the multi-fluid model of the three-dimensional fast reactor safety analysis code SIMMER-IV with the discrete element method (DEM), was applied to analyze the sedimentation and bed formation behaviors of core debris. Three-dimensional simulations were performed and compared with results obtained in a series of particle sedimentation experiments. The present simulation predicts the sedimentation behavior of mixed particles with different properties as well as homogeneous particles. The simulation results on bed shapes and particle distribution in the bed agree well with experimental measurements. They demonstrate the practicality of the present hybrid method to solid particle sedimentation and bed formation behaviors of mixed as well as homogeneous particles.

To elucidate retention mechanism of cement waste form for radioactive iodine, this paper investigated interaction mechanism between iodine and ettringite, which is a component mineral of cement and has anion exchange ability. We revealed that ettringite has a high capacity for accommodating IO$$_{3}$$$$^{-}$$ via anion substitution for SO$$_{4}$$$$^{2-}$$. The combined iodine K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectra and first-principles calculations using density functional theory suggested that IO$$_{3}$$$$^{-}$$ was stabilized in ettringite by hydrogen bonding and electrostatic forces. The bonding charge density analysis of the substituted IO$$_{3}$$$$^{-}$$ into the ettringite structure revealed the interaction between intercalated IO$$_{3}$$$$^{-}$$ with the structural water molecules. These results provided valuable insight into the long-term stabilization of anionic iodine species and their migration in cementitious nuclear waste repository or alkaline environments.

For the purpose of future visualization of the flow field in superfluid helium-4, clusters of the triplet state excimer $$^{4}$$He$$_{2}$$$$^{ast}$$ are generated along the micro-scale recoil tracks of the neutron-absorption reaction n + $$^{3}$$He $$rightarrow$$ $$^{3}$$T + p. This reaction is induced by neutron irradiation of the $$^{3}$$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 $$^{4}$$He$$_{2}$$$$^{ast}$$ 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 $$^{4}$$He$$_{2}$$$$^{ast}$$ 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.

The prompt fission $$gamma$$-ray energy spectrum for cold-neutron induced fission of $$^{235}$$U was measured in the energy range $$E_{rm gamma}$$ = 0.8 - 20,MeV, by gaining a factor of about 10$$^{5}$$ in statistics compared to the measurements performed so far. The spectrum exhibits local bump structures at $$E_{rm gamma}approx$$4,MeV and $$approx$$6,MeV, and also a broad one at $$approx$$15,MeV. In order to understand the origins of these bumps, the $$gamma$$-ray spectra were calculated using a statistical Hauser-Feshbach model, taking into account the de-excitation of all the possible primary fission fragments. It is shown that the bump at $$approx$$4,MeV is created by the transitions between the discrete levels in the fragments around $$^{132}$$Sn, and the bump at $$approx$$6,MeV mostly comes from the complementary light fragments. It is also indicated that a limited number of nuclides, which have high-spin states at low excitation energies, can contribute to the bump structure around $$E_{rm gamma}approx$$15,MeV, induced by the transition feeding into the low-lying high-spin states.

For flow visualization study of quantum turbulence in superfluid $$^{4}$$He, $$^{4}$$He$$_2^{*}$$ excimers are unique tracers which follow only normal-fluid component flow above 1 K. To generate detectable small $$^{4}$$He$$_2^{*}$$ clouds (clusters) required for full-space velocity field measurements, we have adopted a new method based on neutron absorption reaction of $$^{3}$$He impurities in $$^{4}$$He and conducted proof-of-principle experiments. Generation of the $$^{4}$$He$$_2^{*}$$ 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 $$^{4}$$He$$_2^{*}$$ excimers were generated by neutrons. We also estimated the number of $$^{4}$$He$$_2^{*}$$ excimers possibly generated by $$gamma$$-rays and found that the relevant contribution was less than 40%. Thus, the majority of the $$^{4}$$He$$_2^{*}$$ excimers was confirmed to be generated via n-$$^{3}$$He absorption reactions.

燃料デブリベッドの自己平坦化挙動は、ナトリウム冷却高速炉(SFR)での炉心崩壊事故(CDA)の安全評価における主要現象の1つである。SIMMERコードはSFRのCDA解析のために開発され、安全評価のみならずCDA時の主要な伝熱流動現象の数値解析に適切に適用されてきた。しかしながら、SIMMERの流体モデルは、個々の粒子特性のみならず、粒子間の強い相互作用を表現することは困難である。この問題を解決するため、SIMMERの多流体モデルと粒子に対する個別要素法(DEM)とを結合させた新しい手法を開発し、多相流における流体と粒子との相互作用および粒子挙動を適切に評価することを試みてきた。本研究では、DEMと結合したSIMMERコードの多流体モデルを検証するため、円筒状の粒子ベッドにガスを吹き込んだ自己平坦化試験シリーズの数値シミュレーションを行った。さらに検証を進める必要があるが、シミュレーション結果と試験結果とは適切に一致し、デブリベッドの自己平坦化を評価する手法としての潜在的な可能性を示した。DEMと結合したSIMMERコードは、SFRで粒子ベッドに関する安全評価のための次世代の計算手法として期待される。

The $$^{95}$$Zr($$n, gamma$$)$$^{96}$$Zr reaction cross section is crucial in the modelling of $$s$$-process nucleosynthesis in asymptotic giant branch stars because it controls the operation of the branching point at the unstable $$^{95}$$Zr and the subsequent production of $$^{96}$$Zr. We have carried out the measurement of the $$^{90}$$Zr($$^{18}$$O,$$^{16}$$O) and $$^{94}$$Zr($$^{18}$$O,$$^{16}$$O) reactions and obtained the $$gamma$$-decay probability ratio of $$^{92}$$Zr$$^{*}$$ and $$^{96}$$Zr$$^{*}$$ to determine the $$^{95}$$Zr($$n, gamma$$)$$^{96}$$Zr reaction cross sections with the surrogate ratio method. We tested our deduced maxwellian-averaged cross section in stellar models with masses between 2 and 6 $$M_{odot}$$ and metallicities 0.014 and 0.03. The largest changes - up 80 % variations in $$^{96}$$Zr - are seen in the models of 3-4 $$M_{odot}$$, where the $$^{22}$$Ne neutron source is mildly activated. The new rate can still provide a match to data from meteoritic stardust silicon carbide grains, provided the maximum mass of the parent stars is below 4 $$M_{odot}$$, for a metallicity of 0.03.

核分裂に伴い放出される即発$$gamma$$線スペクトルの測定は高励起状態にある中性子過剰な核分裂片の脱励起過程を理解する上で重要であると同時に、革新的原子炉の設計といった応用分野においても重要である。これまで$$^{252}$$Cfの自発核分裂においては、核分裂片の巨大共鳴振動が励起されていることを示唆する、8MeVから20MeVにおいて膨らみを持つ高エネルギー$$gamma$$線が観測されていることが知られている。巨大共鳴振動励起の起源を理解するためには$$^{252}$$Cfの自発核分裂以外で即発$$gamma$$線スペクトルを測定する必要があるが、中性子誘起核分裂においては最近の測定においても9MeV程度までしか観測されていない。我々は$$^{235}$$U(n,f)においても20MeVまでの即発$$gamma$$線スペクトルの観測を目的とした測定を仏国ラウエ・ランジュバン研究所にある高中性子束炉の大強度冷中性子ビームを用いて行った。発表では測定で得られた結果について報告する。

Numerical simulations of various thermal-hydraulic phenomena with multiphase and multicomponent flows in postulated core disruptive accidents (CDAs) are regarded as particular difficulties in the safety analysis of liquid-metal cooled reactors. In a material relocation phase of CDAs, core debris may settle on the core-support structure and/or in the lower inlet plenum of the reactor vessel and then form the debris bed. In particular, the shape of debris bed is crucial for the relocation of molten core and heat-removal capability of the debris bed as well as re-criticality. In the present study, a hybrid numerical simulation method, which couples the multi-fluid model of the 3D fast reactor safety analysis code SIMMER-IV with the discrete element method (DEM), was applied to analyze sedimentation and bed formation behaviors of core debris. In the present study, 3D simulations were performed for a series of particle sedimentation experiments with gravity driven discharge of solid particles into a quiescent cylindrical water pool. The present simulation predicts the sedimentation behavior of mixed particles with different density or particle size as well as homogeneous particles. The simulation results on bed shapes and particle distribution in the bed agree well with the experimental ones. They demonstrate the fundamental applicability of the present hybrid method to solid-particle sedimentation and bed formation simulations.

We use neutron diffraction and muon spin relaxation to study the effect of in-plane uniaxial pressure on the antiferromagnetic (AF) orthorhombic phase in BaFe$$_{2-x}$$T$$_{x}$$As$$_{2}$$ and its Co- and Ni-substituted members near optimal superconductivity. In the low-temperature AF ordered state, uniaxial pressure necessary to detwin the orthorhombic crystals also increases the magnetic ordered moment, reaching an 11% increase under 40 MPa for BaFe$$_{1.9}$$Co$$_{0.1}$$As$$_2$$, and a 15% increase for BaFe$$_{1.915}$$Ni$$_{0.085}$$As$$_2$$. We also observe an increase of the AF ordering temperature ($$T_N$$) of about 0.25 K/MPa in all compounds, consistent with density functional theory calculations that reveal better Fermi surface nesting for itinerant electrons under uniaxial pressure. The doping dependence of the magnetic ordered moment is captured by combining dynamical mean field theory with density functional theory, suggesting that the pressure-induced moment increase near optimal superconductivity is closely related to quantum fluctuations and the nearby electronic nematic phase.
