In the Best-Estimate Plus Uncertainty (BEPU) framework, the use of best-estimate code requires to go through a Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification process (VVUQ). The relevance of the experimental data in relation to the physical phenomena of interest in the VVUQ process is crucial. Adequacy analysis of selected experimental databases addresses this problem. The outcomes of the analysis can be used to select a subset of relevant experimental data, to encourage designing new experiments or to drop some experiments from a database because of their substantial lack of adequacy. The development of a specific transparent and reproducible approach to analyze the relevance of experimental data for VVUQ still remains open and is the topic of this contribution. In this paper, the concept of adequacy initially introduced in the OECD/NEA SAPIUM (Systematic APproach for model Input Uncertainty quantification Methodology) activity is formalized. It is defined through two key properties, called representativeness and completeness, that allows considering the multifactorial dimension of the adequacy problem. A new systematic approach is then proposed to analyze the adequacy of a set of experimental databases. It relies on the introduction of two sets of criteria to characterize representativeness and completeness and on the use of multi-criteria decision analysis method to perform the analysis. Finally, the approach is applied in the framework of the new OECD/NEA ATRIUM activity which includes a set of practical IUQ exercises in thermal-hydraulics to test the SAPIUM guideline in determining input uncertainties and forward propagating them on an application case. It allows evaluating the adequacy of eight experimental databases coming from the Super Moby-dick, Sozzi-Sutherland and Marviken experiments and identifying the most adequate ones.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0(Chemistry, Physical)Ga-exchanged zeolites are promising catalysts for dehydrogenative alkane transformations. Reduced Ga species, such as Ga hydrides and Ga
cations, are possible active sites for alkane dehydrogenation based on in situ spectroscopic studies. However, most of the reported studies were conducted at lower temperatures compared with those encountered in actual operating conditions. In this study, the in situ Ga K-edge XANES analysis of Ga-exchanged MFI zeolite was performed under actual operating temperatures and different atmospheres (H, He, CO, vacuum, and CH
). The absorption edge appeared at similarly lower energy values than that of GaO
in all atmospheres, whereas the main absorption peak intensity differed depending on the presence or absence of a hydride source in the gas phase. Higher intensities were observed under H and CH atmospheres than under CO and vacuum atmospheres.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：72.91(Nuclear Science & Technology)The REPRO-TDE test was performed at a depth of about 400 m in the ONKALO underground research facility in Finland. Synthetic groundwater containing radionuclide tracers (HTO, Cl-36, Na-22, Ba-133, Cs-134) was circulated for about four years in a packed-off interval of the injection borehole. Tracer activities were additionally monitored in two observation boreholes. The test was the subject of a modelling exercise by the SKB GWFTS Task Force. Eleven teams participated in the exercise, using different model concepts and approaches. Predictive model calculations were based on laboratory-based information concerning porosities, diffusion coefficients and sorption partition coefficients. After the experimental results were made available, the teams were able to revise their models to reproduce the observations. General conclusions from these back-analysis calculations include the need for reduced effective diffusion coefficients for Cl-36 compared to those applicable to HTO (anion exclusion), the need to implement weaker sorption for Na-22, compared to results from laboratory batch-sorption experiments, and the observation of large differences between the theoretical initial concentrations for the strongly-sorbing Ba-133 and Cs-134 and the first measured values a few hours after tracer injection. Different teams applied different concepts, concerning mainly the implementation of isotropic vs. anisotropic diffusion, or the possible existence of Borehole Disturbed Zones around the different boreholes. The role of microstructure was also addressed in two of the models.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.01(Chemistry, Physical)Contact angle is an indicator of the wettability between liquid Na and pure metals. This has been evaluated using the atomic interactions obtained from the calculations of the electronic structure of the interface. This study aims to investigate the applicability of the atomic interactions of the interface to the alloys. An interface model between Cu and Na with an alloying element was constructed, and the electronic states of the interface were calculated by the molecular orbital calculation. The bond order, which indicates the strength of the covalent bonding at the interface, and ionicity, which indicates the amount of charge transfer, were obtained as theoretical parameters from the calculation. The contact angles between the Cu or Cu alloys and liquid Na were measured using a droplet of liquid Na at 423 K in a high-purity Ar atmosphere. The contact angles of the Cu alloys were evaluated using these theoretical parameters. As a result, a correlation was obtained between the ratio of the bond order between the substrate metal atoms to the bond order between the Na atom and the substrate metal atoms and the contact angle, which is consistent with previous studies. Furthermore, for the first time, the correlation between the ionicity or difference in the ionicity and contact angle was clarified. The difference in ionicity is the difference between the ionicity of Na atoms and that of the alloying element, indicating the strength of the ionic bonding. It was suggested that Cu and Cu alloys should consider covalent and ionic bonding when evaluating wettability, because Cu has an intermediate electronic state between transition and nontransition metals. Further, it became clear that the evaluation of the contact angle using the atomic interactions at the interface are applicable not only to pure metals but also to alloys.

After the irradiation with laser light, the optically induced creation of antiferromagnetic domains can be observed by imaging the created domain structure utilizing the X-ray magnetic linear dichroism effect. The effect of different laser polarizations on the domain formation can be studied and used to identify a polarization-independent creation of 180

These have been characterized by a combination of techniques including powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry and both scanning and transmission electron microscopy. These confirm the nature of the attached nanoparticles and the microscope images show a good dispersion of nanoparticles with a narrow size range deposit uniformly on the surface of the zeolite particles. The magnetisation is of sufficient strength to allow magnetic separation from solution. Both time and pH dependent Cs uptake experiments show the magnetised systems are still excellent for the rapid uptake of Cs via an ion exchange process with no reduction in property due to the attached nanoparticles.

被引用回数：5 パーセンタイル：80.44(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We experimentally and theoretically demonstrate that nonlinear spin-wave interactions suppress the hybrid magnon-photon quasiparticle or "magnon polariton" in microwave spectra of an yttrium iron garnet film detected by an on-chip split-ring resonator. We observe a strong coupling between the Kittel and microwave cavity modes in terms of an avoided crossing as a function of magnetic fields at low microwave input powers, but a complete closing of the gap at high powers. The experimental results are well explained by a theoretical model including the three-magnon decay of the Kittel magnon into spin waves. The gap closure originates from the saturation of the ferromagnetic resonance above the Suhl instability threshold by a coherent back reaction from the spin waves.

A pyrite system NiS
Se
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 
0.45 followed by the AFM to paramagnetic metal (PMM) transition at 1.0. Among a few other Mott systems which exhibit similar two-step transitions, Ni(S,Se) 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.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：29.84(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Here we report an investigation of the gas-solid reaction between cesium hydroxide (CsOH) and siliceous (calcium silicate) thermal insulation at high temperature, which was postulated as the origin for the formation mechanism of cesium-bearing material emitted from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. A developed reaction furnace consisting of two heating compartments was used to study the reaction at temperatures of 873, 973, and 1073 K. Under the influence of hydrogen-steam atmospheric conditions (H/HO = 0.2), the reaction between cesium hydroxide vapor and solid thermal insulation was confirmed to occur at temperatures of 973 and 1073 K with the formation of dicalcium silicate (CaSiO) and cesium aluminum silicate (CsAlSiO). Water-dissolution analyses of the reaction products have demonstrated their stability, in particular, the CsAlSiO. Constituents similarity of the field-observed cesium-bearing materials near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants with CsAlSiO suggests for the first time that gaseous reaction between CsOH with calcium silicate thermal insulation could be one of the original formation mechanisms of the cesium-bearing materials.

= 0.1 to 0.75). Our SR results reveal the absence of both static long-range magnetic order and spin freezing down to 0.05 K in the = 0.1 sample, which is consistent with neutron scattering results. The weak temperature-dependent plateaus of the dynamic spin fluctuations below 0.2 K in zero field together with its longitudinal-field (LF) dependence indicate the presence of dynamic spin fluctuations persisting even at 0.05 K without static magnetic order. We argue that such a behavior for = 0.1 can be attributed to a metallic spin-liquid-like ground state near the quantum critical point in the frustrated Kondo lattice. The LF-SR study suggests that the out of kagome plane spin fluctuations are responsible for the spin-liquid behavior.

The spectra display well defined spin waves extending up to 120 meV. Above this energy, the spin waves become progressively broadened, reflecting interactions with the Stoner continuum. Using linear spin wave theory, we determine an effective spin Hamiltonian that explains the measured dispersion. This analysis indicates that the Dirac magnon at the K point occurs on the brink of a region where well defined spin waves become unobservable. Our results emphasize the influential role of itinerant carriers on the topological spin excitations of metallic kagome magnets.

This Ising spin becomes unstable at a second threshold power at which a high-frequency telegraph noise emerges. We explain the experimentally observed stochastic switching ("p-bit" characteristics) at room temperature by the Suhl instability of the uniform magnetization precession.
