Magnesium hydride has great potential as a solid hydrogen (H) storage material because of its high H storage capacity of 7.6 wt%. However, its slow hydrogenation and dehydrogenation kinetics and the high temperature of 300 C required for decomposition are major obstacles to small-scale applications such as automobiles. The local electronic structure of interstitial H in MgH is an important fundamental knowledge in solving this problem, which has been studied mainly based on density functional theory (DFT). However, few experimental studies have been performed to assess the results of DFT calculations. We have therefore introduced muon (Mu) as pseudo-H into MgH and investigated the corresponding interstitial H states by analyzing their electronic and dynamical properties in detail. As a result, we observed multiple Mu states similar to those observed in wide-gap oxides, and found that their electronic states can be attributed to relaxed-excited states associated with donor/acceptor levels predicted by the recently proposed ambipolarity model. This provides an indirect support for the DFT calculations on which the model is based via the donor/acceptor levels. An important implication of the muon results for improved hydrogen kinetics is that dehydrogenation, serving as a reduction for hydrides, stabilises the interstitial H state.

被引用回数:5 パーセンタイル:57.28(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Dimensionality is a critical factor in determining the properties of solids and is an apparent built- in character of the crystal structure. However, it can be an emergent and tunable property in geometrically frustrated spin systems. Here, we study the spin dynamics of the tetrahedral cluster antiferromagnet, pharmacosiderite, via muon spin resonance and neutron scattering. We find that the spin correlation exhibits a two-dimensional characteristic despite the isotropic connectivity of tetrahedral clusters made of spin 5/2 Fe ions in the three-dimensional cubic crystal, which we ascribe to two-dimensionalisation by geometrical frustration based on spin wave calculations. Moreover, we suggest that even one-dimensionalisation occurs in the decoupled layers, generating low-energy and one-dimensional excitation modes, causing large spin fluctuation in the classical spin system.

被引用回数:101 パーセンタイル:95.53(Physics, Multidisciplinary)High-temperature (high-) superconductivity appears as a consequence of the carrier-doping of an undoped parent compound exhibiting antiferromagnetic order; thereby, ground-state properties of the parent compound are closely relevant to the superconducting state. On the basis of the concept, a spin-fluctuation has been addressed as an origin of pairing of the superconducting electrons in cuprates. Whereas, there is growing interest in the pairing mechanism such as an unconventional spin-fluctuation or an advanced orbital-fluctuation due to the characteristic multi-orbital system in iron-pnictides. Here, we report the discovery of an antiferromagnetic order as well as a unique structural transition in electron-overdoped LaFeAsOH (), whereby another parent phase was uncovered, albeit heavily doped. The unprecedented two-dome superconducting phases observed in this material can be interpreted as a consequence of the carrier-doping starting from the original at and advanced at parent phases toward the intermediate region. The bipartite parent phases with distinct physical properties in the second magnetic phase provide us with an interesting example to illustrate the intimate interplay among the magnetic interaction, structural change and orbital degree of freedom in iron-pnictides.

被引用回数:12 パーセンタイル:95.24The new Muon Science Facility (MUSE) that is now under construction at J-PARC in the Materials and Life Sciences Facility (MLF) building will comprise four types of muon channels. In the first stage, a conventional superconducting decay muon channel (D-Line) was constructed, which can extract surface (positive) muons with an expected muon yield of /s and decay positive/negative muon up to 120 MeV/c, with an expected muon yield of a few /s at 60 MeV/c for both positive and negative muons. This channel will be used for various kinds of muon experiments like SR, muon catalyzed fusion and nondestruction elements analysis.

被引用回数:15 パーセンタイル:55.1(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Spin correlations in the overdoped region of BiPbSrCuO have been explored with Fe-doped single crystals characterized by neutron scattering, muon-spin-rotation spectroscopy, and magnetic-susceptibility measurements. The incommensurability is unexpectedly large (0.2 r.l.u.), as compared with the overdoped LaSrCuO. However, this large is close to the hole concentration . While our findings in Fe-doped BiPbSrCuO support the commonality of incommensurate spin correlations in high- cuprate superconductors, they also suggest that the magnetic response might be dominated by a distinct mechanism in the overdoped region.
