-Mn-type family alloys Mn have three-dimensional antiferromagnetic (AFM) corner-shared triangular network. The antiferromagnet MnRhSi shows magnetic short-range order (SRO) over a wide temperature range of approximately 500 K above the Nel temperature = 190 K. MnCoSi has the smallest lattice parameter and the lowest in the family compounds. The quantum critical point (QCP) from AFM to the quantum paramagnetic state is expected near a cubic lattice parameter of 6.15 of MnCoSi is only 140 K, quantum critical behavior is observed in MnCoSi as the enhancement of the electronic specific heat coefficient . We study how the magnetic SRO appears in MnCoSi by using neutron scattering, SR, and physical property measurements. The experimental results show that the neutron scattering intensity of the magnetic SRO does not change much regardless of the suppressed magnetic moment in the long-range magnetic ordered state compared to those of MnRhSi. The initial asymmetry drop ratio of SR above becomes small, and the magnetic SRO temperature is suppressed to 240 K. The results suggest that the MnCoSi is close to the QCP in the Mn system.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)In structural biology, peptide bonds, fundamental linkages between hundreds of amino acids, of which a protein molecule is composed, have been commonly treated as a plane structure just as Linus Pauling et al. proposed. In this paper, a site-specific peptide bond relaxation mechanism by deuterons whose localization has been suggested by neutron crystallography is proposed. A comprehensive study using X-ray and neutron diffraction and N chemical shifts of individual amide nitrogen atoms within the same peptide bond strongly suggests the relaxation of the electronic resonance structure because of site-specific modulation by protons/deuterons localized on the electron orbital of the carbonyl oxygen.

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction study revealed that NdSn ( = Rh and Ir) undergo structural phase transitions characterized by the wave vector =(1/2,1/2,0). Neutron diffraction study revealed antiferromagnetic ordering below = 1.65 and 1.42 K for NdRhSn and NdIrSn, respectively, which is similar to that previously reported for NdCoSn. These compounds show a magnetic susceptibility saturation behavior below approximately 3 K. The results indicate emergence of anomalous electronic correlation in NdSn ( = Co, Rh, and Ir) above .

JENDL-5 aimed to meet a variety of needs not only from nuclear reactors but also from other applications such as accelerators. Most of the JENDL special purpose files published so far were integrated into JENDL-5 with revisions. JENDL-5 consists of 11 sublibraries: (1) Neutron, (2) Thermal scattering law, (3) Fission product yield, (4) Decay data, (5) Proton, (6) Deuteron, (7) Alpha-particle, (8) Photonuclear, (9) Photo-atomic, (10) Electro-atomic, and (11) Atomic relaxation. The neutron reaction data for a large number of nuclei in JENDL-4.0 were updated ranging from light to heavy ones, including major and minor actinides which affect nuclear reactor calculations. In addition, the number of nuclei of neutron reaction data stored in JENDL-5 was largely increased; the neutron data covered not only all of naturally existing nuclei but also their neighbor ones with half-lives longer than 1 day. JENDL-5 included the originally evaluated data of thermal scattering law and fission product yield for the first time. Light charged-particle and photon induced reaction data were also included for the first time as the JENDL general purpose file.

体内にアクチニドなどの放射性物質が取り込まれると、生体内配位子がアクチニドと化合物を生成し、体内滞留の原因となりうる。本研究では、アクチニドを体外に排出させるためのキレート剤の結合性評価を行うため、キレート剤と結合した元素の局所構造をX線吸収分光法によって解析し結合力を評価した。プルトニウム模擬元素としてジルコニウム(Zr),キレート剤として、EHBP(1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonate)およびDTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetate)を用いた。ZrはEHBPと八面体構造の錯体を形成するとともに、Zr-EHBP錯体はZr-DTPA錯体より強い結合を有することが分かった。これらの知見は、放射性元素による内部被ばく線量評価や、放射性元素を体外に取り除くための適切な除染方法の提案につながる。

The thicker tubular frame was confirmed through experimentation as stably generating 4.5 GPa. Its feasibility for neutron diffraction was assessed at the Laue-TOF diffractometer at the BL18 (SENJU) beamline in the MLF J-PARC using time-resolved two-dimensional detectors covering wide solid angles. In addition to ambient-pressure measurements of NHCl, diffraction patterns of a high-pressure phase of ice were also collected in-situ. The obtained intensities are of refinable quality sufficient for structure analysis.

In spite of the difference of the local structure around the Sm sites, the observed Mssbauer spectra consist of a single line at 300 K. On the other hand, Sm L-edge X-ray absorption spectra consist of two components, suggesting Sm and Sm states. Difference of the number of the spectral components between the Mssbauer spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy is caused by the difference of the time window in the scattering process of these measurements. Correlation between the isomer shifts in the Mssbauer spectroscopy and average Sm valence states estimated from the X-ray absorption spectroscopy exhibits a linear correlation.

被引用回数:7 パーセンタイル:40.96(Multidisciplinary Sciences)FeSi is a nonmagnetic narrow-gap insulator, exhibiting peculiar charge and spin dynamics beyond a simple band structure picture. Those unusual features have been attracting renewed attention from topological aspects. Although the surface conduction was demonstrated according to size-dependent resistivity in bulk crystals, its topological characteristics and consequent electromagnetic responses remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate an inherent surface ferromagnetic-metal state of FeSi thin films and its strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) properties through multiple characterizations of two-dimensional conductance, magnetization, and spintronic functionality. Terminated covalent bonding orbitals constitute the polar surface state with momentum-dependent spin textures due to Rashba-type spin splitting, as corroborated by unidirectional magnetoresistance measurements and first-principles calculations. As a consequence of the spin-momentum locking, nonequilibrium spin accumulation causes magnetization switching. These surface properties are closely related to the Zak phase of the bulk band topology. Our findings propose another route to explore noble metal-free materials for SOC-based spin manipulation.

被引用回数:4 パーセンタイル:29.65(Chemistry, Physical)The catalyst layer (CL) in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) plays a critical role in the performance of a PEFC. In this study, we investigate the water dynamics in the CL using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and small-angle neutron scattering. The temperature dependence of the mean square displacement u shows that the freezing of water does not occur at a melting temperature in the Nafion thin film of the CL, suggesting that the water is confined in a smaller region than 15 . The QENS measurements established three kinds of water in the CL: immobile water tightly connected to a sulfonic group, water in a fast mode assigned to free diffusion restricted in a sphere, and water in a slow mode described by a jump diffusion model. Assuming that these three modes were independent, the number of water molecules in each mode was estimated. On discussing the structure and dynamics elucidated in the study, we finally conclude that the coupled model of the fast and slow modes is plausible for describing the diffusion of water confined in the thin Nafion film of the CL.

At 30 K below a charge-density-wave (CDW) transition, superlattice peaks emerge near nuclear Bragg peaks described by an ordering vector = (0 0 ). In contrast, magnetic peaks appear at with = 0.09 below = 15.4 K, and moves to with = 0.19 below =12.2 K, whereas no distinct change in the magnetic Bragg peak was detected at and . The structural modification with is characterized by an absence of the superlattice peak in (0 0 ). Considering an absence of splitting in magnetic peaks along , the structural transition is mainly ascribed to a displacement of Al ions within the tetragonal -plane. Complex incommensurate magnetic transitions are in stark contrast to a simple collinear commensurate structure in isovalent EuGa. This could stem from incompatible electronic structures with the CDW transition between two compounds.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.01(Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear)The synthesis of sandwich-shaped multinuclear silver complexes with planar penta- and tetranuclear wheel-shaped silver units and a central anion is reported, along with complete spectroscopic and structural characterization. An NMR mechanistic study reveals that silver complexes were formed in the following order: 2Ag 3Ag 5Ag 4Ag. The central hydroxides in 4Ag and 5Ag exhibit exotic physical properties due to the confined environment inside the complex. The size of these silver wheels can be tuned by changing the central anion or extracting/adding one silver atom. This study provides the facile way to synthesize discrete wheel-shaped multinuclear silver complexes and provides valuable insights into the dynamics of the self-assembly process.

These results are in contrast to the previous works on related materials that showed magnetic order around 10 K as well as theoretical predictions and suggests the intricacy of the magnetic properties of two-dimensional van der Waals magnets.

被引用回数:6 パーセンタイル:41.49(Multidisciplinary Sciences)The Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP) accident released substantial amounts of radionuclides into the environment. We collected 4,957 deciduous teeth, from children living in Fukushima and reference prefectures. Radioactivity was detected in most of the teeth examined and was attributed to the presence of natural radionuclides, including K and daughter nuclides in U and Th series. Additionally, artificial radionuclides, Sr and Cs, were detected in the teeth obtained from children from Fukushima and the reference prefectures. However, these radionuclides were not believed to have originated from the FNPP accident. Because the teeth examined in the present study were formed before the FNPP accident occurred, the aforementioned findings may serve as important control data for future studies regarding the radioactivity of teeth formed after the FNPP accident.

To properly decommission the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, the contamination levels and mechanisms for the concrete structures must be assessed. In this review, we outline the results of this study and present the objectives of a future study called "Quantitative Evaluation of Contamination in Reinforced Concrete Members of Fukushima Daiichi NPP Buildings Considering the Actual Environment Histories for Legitimate Treatments", which will run from October 2020 to March 2023. The experimental results from the first project indicate that concrete carbonation, Ca leaching, and drying conditions affected the adsorption of Cs and Sr and their penetration depths. Additionally, the studies showed that -nuclides precipitated on the surface of the samples because of the high pH of concrete. A reaction transfer model was developed to further assess the adsorption characteristics of Cs and Sr in carbonated cement paste and concrete aggregates. The model used real concrete characteristics from the FDNPP materials and historical boundary conditions at the site, including radionuclide concentrations and penetration profiles within the turbine pit wall. The water suction by dried concrete was evaluated with the consideration of the structure change of cement hydrates by X-ray CR and H-NMR relaxometry. In the new project, the studies will also include concrete cracks for more realistic contamination estimations.

The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility shows an anomaly at 564 K, suggesting the onset of antiferromagnetic order of Fe moments. Electric polarization appears in a magnetic field below TN due to the spin-direction-dependent metal-ligand hybridization. The direction of the electric polarization can be controlled in three-dimensional space by changing the direction of an external magnetic field. This compound also shows an antiferromagnetic-to-weak-ferromagnetic transition accompanied by a structural phase transition at 140 K.
