We report neutron scattering measurements of single-crystalline YFeGe in the normal state, which has the same crystal structure as the 122 family of iron pnictide superconductors. YFeGe does not exhibit long-range magnetic order but exhibits strong spin fluctuations. Like the iron pnictides, YFeGe displays anisotropic stripe-type antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations at (
). More interesting, however, is the observation of strong spin fluctuations at the in-plane ferromagnetic wave vector (
). These ferromagnetic spin fluctuations are isotropic in the (
) plane, whose intensity exceeds that of stripe spin fluctuations. Both the ferromagnetic and stripe spin fluctuations remain gapless down to the lowest measured energies. Our results naturally explain the absence of magnetic order in YFeGe and also imply that the ferromagnetic correlations may be a key ingredient for iron-based materials.

リチウムイオン選択性を有する多孔質伝導膜を用い、正極と負極の電極金属を分離することで、性能劣化が小さく、高い充放電効率が得られるこれまでにない概念の溶融塩蓄電池の開発を行った。多孔質伝導膜にセラミックスの窒化チタン焼結体を、正・負極材に、それぞれ鉛及びリチウム鉛を使用した蓄電池を作製し、作動温度410
Cにおける100サイクル試験を行った。初期の100サイクル平均の性能で、充放電効率が90%以上と優れた性能を達成するとともに、その間の充放電効率の低下速度は1サイクル当たり0.0017%が得られた。これは10年経過後も充放電効率の劣化は10%以下と高寿命であることを示している。また、多孔質状金属(ステンレス及びチタン)に窒化チタンをコーティングした多孔質伝導膜を使用した場合においても、同様の充放電効率を示すことを明らかにした。このように本開発で導入した金属を基盤とする多孔質伝導膜は、低電気抵抗が可能な薄膜化かつ工業的スケールアップに向けた大型化が期待できるものである。

) 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.

A scattering maximum (ionomer peak) at high-q range is shown commonly in both dry and wet states, with q being the magnitude of the scattering vector, while it shifts towards low-q region in the wet state due to the swelling of the ionomer domains with water. The swelling effect also results to a second scattering maximum in the middle-q range because of the water-induced microphase separation. The morphology in this q-range was elucidated in terms of Hard-Sphere model with Percus-Yervick interference approximation.

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) produced comb polymers with tetralysine (K4) and SB pendent groups. Dynamic light scattering, zeta potential measurements, and fluorescence-based experiments, together with coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, described the effect of SB groups on the size, shape, surface charge, composition, and DNA binding strength of polyplexes formed using these comb polymers. Experiments and simulations showed that increasing SB composition in the comb polymers decreased polymer-DNA binding strength, while the SB groups distributed throughout the polyplex. This allows polyplexes to maintain a positive surface charge and provide high levels of gene expression in live cells.

被引用回数：15 パーセンタイル：14.76(Chemistry, Physical)We investigated the interplay between morphology and properties of a new graft-type of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) containing 2-methylimidazolium groups by using contrast variation small angle neutron scattering (SANS) technique. These AEMs prepared by radiation-induced grafting of 2-methyl-1-vinylimidazole and styrene into poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) films, possessed both high alkaline durability and high conductivity. The SANS measurement reveals that these membranes are consisted of three phases: crystalline lamellar and crystallite domains originating from the pristine ETFE, which offer good mechanical properties, hydrophobic amorphous domains, which offer a matrix to create conducting regions, and interconnected hydrated domains, which are composed of the entire graft chains and water and play a key role to promote the conductivity.

Incoherent neutron scattering contribution presents a challenge in the structure characterization of many target materials. In this study, we introduce a method of intermediate angle neutron scattering (IANS) to correct the small angle neutron scattering (SANS) data of the water-swollen microbial cellulose (MC) sample, the system of which has significant incoherent contributions from the water solvent, and we describe the effects that the corrections have on the structural analysis. In order to elucidate the structure, the solvent is changed in situ from protonated water to deuterated water to give different scattering contrast, and this water-exchange process has been followed by time-resolved SANS and IANS simultaneously. Our results show that: (1) after incoherent correction, the structure of MC sample is proved to be invariant with solvents; (2) the scattering intensity depends only on the contrast factor, revealing a two-phase system composed of water-resistant crystalline cellulose phase and hydrated phase; (3) The cellulose crystallites have a constant scattering length density of 2.0

cm
, determined by the matching point at which the scattering contrast between the two phases is minimum. This value is consistent with that of 1.910cm estimated from its chemical structure.

SANS was used to elucidate the microscopic structure of the MC sample. The coherent scattering length density of the water penetrating amorphous domains varied with time during the drying process to give a tunable scattering contrast to the water-resistant cellulose crystallites, thus the contrast variation was automatically performed by simply drying.

Density functional theory calculation reveals that electronic reconstruction, and thus conductivity, is still possible at this (110) interface by considering the energetically favourable (110) interface structure, that is, buckled TiO/LaO, in which the polarization discontinuity is still present. The conductivity was further found to be strongly anisotropic along the different crystallographic directions with potential for anisotropic superconductivity and magnetism, leading to possible new physics and applications.

s, incorporated into poly(styrene)--poly(methyl methacylate) (PS-
-PMMA) block copolymer (bcp), alter its order-disorder transition (ODT). The (Pd)s were incorporated into the lamellar template of PS--PMMA by the thermal reduction of palladium acetylacetonate, dissolved uniformly in the bcp in the disordered state. The ODT behavior of the neat bcp and the nanocomposites are investigated by small angle X-ray scattering as a function of temperature. We found the incorporation of a very small amount of (Pd)s significantly increased the ODT temperature by about 8C, which is due to the stronger attractive interactions of (Pd)s with PS block chains than with PMMA block chains, which increases the net effective segregation power between PS and PMMA block chains and hence stabilizes the ordered lamellae.

peak is attributed to the formation of microdomains and the high peak is due to the formation of ionic clusters in the swollen microdomains.

A simultaneous living anionic copolymerization of a concentrated solution of deuterated styrene (S) and nondeuterated isoprene (I) monomers in deuterated benzene as a solvent was studied by a combination of time-resolved measurements of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), size exclusion chromatography (SEC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). The molecular building-up process and its consequence on the bottom-up self-assembling process during the copolymerization reaction were observed on three different length scales on the same batch of the solution, which enabled us to explore simultaneously the time changes in the local structure (living chain ends), the primary structure (propagating chains), and the higher order structure (microdomains). We found that the copolymerization process was divided into two time regions, defined by regions I and II. In region I, the copolymerization of S and I monomers took place, and all I monomers were consumed at the end of region I. In the early stage of region I (region I
), the SANS profiles were almost time-independent and exhibited no scattering maximum, whereas in the late stage of region I (region I
), a scattering maximum appeared at 
m and hardly changed with time, although the maximum intensity 
slightly increased with time. In region II, pure polystyrene (PS) block chains were formed. The polymerization-induced disorder-order transition (ODT) and order-order transition (OOT) were observed.
