We report the ground-state symmetry of the Ce 4${it f}$ states in the heavy-fermion superconductor CeNi$$_{2}$$Ge$$_{2}$$, yielding anisotropic ${it cf}$ hybridization between the Ce 4${it f}$ states and conducting electrons. By analyzing linear dichroism in soft X-ray absorption and core-level hard X-ray photoemission spectra, the 4${it f}$ symmetry is determined as $$Sigma$$-type $$Gamma$$$$_{7}$$, promoting predominant hybridization with the conducting electrons originating from the Ge site. The band structures probed by soft X-ray angle-resolved photoemission indicates that the Ge 4${it p}$ components contribute to the band renormalization through the anisotropic hybridization effects, suggesting that the control of the electronic structures of Ge orbital gives an impact to achieve the exotic phenomena in CeNi$$_{2}$$Ge$$_{2}$$.

Water absorbed by epoxy resins from a humid atmosphere considerably influences their structure and properties. Examining the effects of absorbed water on epoxy resins at their interfaces with solid substrates is crucial because of their adhesive applications in various fields. The spatial distribution of absorbed water in epoxy resin thin films under high humidity was investigated in this study by neutron reflectometry. Water molecules were found to accumulate at the SiO$$_{2}$$/epoxy resin interface after exposure at a relative humidity of 85% for 8 h. The formation of an ca.1 nm-thick condensed water layer was observed, and the thickness of this layer varied with curing conditions of epoxy systems. Furthermore, the water accumulation at the interface was noted to be affected by high-temperature and high-humidity environments. The formation of the condensed water layer is presumed to be related to the features of the polymer layer near the interface. The construction of the interface layer of epoxy resin would be affected by the interface constraint effect on the cross-linked polymer chain during the curing reaction. This study provides essential information for understanding the factors influencing the accumulation of water at the interface in epoxy resins. In the practical application, the process of improving the construction of epoxy resin near the interface would be a reasonable solution to resist the water accumulation in the interface.

We study the electronic and magnetic states of as-grown and annealed $$M$$Fe$$_2$$O$$_4$$(111)/Al$$_2$$O3(111) ($$M =$$Co, Ni) thin films with various thicknesses grown on Si(111) substrates with the $$gamma$$-Al$$_2$$O$$_3$$(111)buffer layers by using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), to investigate magnetically dead layers in these films. Although the magnetically dead layers in the as-grown samples are formed near the interface with the Al$$_2$$O$$_3$$ buffer layer, we reveal that ferrimagnetic order is partially recovered by postdeposition annealing at 973 K for 48 hours in air. By analyzing the line shapes of the XAS and XMCD spectra, we conclude that, in the dead layers, there are a significant number of vacancies at the $$T_d$$ sites of the spinel structure, which may be the microscopic origin of the degraded ferrimagnetic order in the $$M$$Fe$$_2$$O$$_4$$ thin films.

Microbial decomposition of soil organic matter (OM) is crucial in terrestrial carbon cycles; however, analytical approaches to explain the decomposition process in soil have not been completely successful. Forty air-dried soil samples were applied to water extraction and OM analysis. The C and N contents and natural abundances of $$^{13}$$C and $$^{15}$$N exhibited positive correlations between the bulk soil OM and water-extractable OM (WEOM). However, the C/N ratio in WEOM showed values around 10, a value similar to that for microbial biomass. The $$^{13}$$C and $$^{15}$$N enrichments in WEOM relative to soil OM were negatively and positively correlated, respectively, with the concentrations of organo-mineral complexes and short-range order minerals, which play significant roles in soil OM stabilization in soils. These relationships suggest that the stable isotopic enrichments in WEOM can be a good indicator of the microbial utilization of soil C and N under different substrate availabilities.

Nuclear power plants are critical infrastructures that provide electricity. However, accidents in nuclear power plants can cause considerable consequences such as the release of radioactive materials. Therefore, appropriately managing their risk is necessary. Various nuclear regulatory agencies employ probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) to effectively evaluate risks in nuclear power plants. Dynamic PRA has gained popularity because it allows for more realistic assessment by reducing the assumptions and engineering judgments related to time-dependent failure probability and/or human-action reliability in the conventional PRA methodology. However, removing all assumptions and engineering judgments is difficult; thus, the risk analyst, e.g., the regulator, must understand their effects on the assessment results. This study focuses on "risk dilution," which emerges from the assumptions about uncertainty. Dynamic PRA of a station blackout sequence in a boiling-water reactor was performed using the dynamic PRA tool, namely, Risk Assessment with Plant Interactive Dynamics (RAPID) and the severe-accident code Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis of Loss of Coolant, Emergency Core Cooling, and Severe Core Damage version 2 (THALES2), which altered the correlation parameters among the uncertainties of the events that occurred in sequence. The results demonstrated that the conditional core-damage probability and mean value of the core-damage time varied from 0.27 to 0.47 and from 7.1 to 8.7 h, respectively. When the dynamic PRA results are used for risk-informed decision making, the decision maker should adequately consider the effect of risk dilution.

地層処分場の設計では、ベントナイト中のモンモリロナイトの熱変質による安全機能の低下を防止するため、ベントナイトが使用される緩衝材や埋め戻し材の温度を100度以下に抑えることが一般的な設計要件となっており、これまでの設計検討では、熱伝導解析を用いて緩衝材温度が100度未満となることが確認されてきた。しかし、ベントナイトの状態の不確実性や人工バリア材料間の隙間などの施工上の不確実性などといった緩衝材温度を上昇させる可能性がある要因については考慮できておらず、評価をより現実的にするにはこれら不確実性の影響を考慮する必要がある。そこで本研究では、より現実的かつ100度以上の温度環境も含めた緩衝材の状態評価を行うための解析モデルの開発を開始した。また本研究では、処分場環境の不均一性に起因した緩衝材の状態変遷の不確実性も含めた予測評価を行うことを目指している。本稿では、100度以上の高温域も含めたTHMC連成解析モデルの段階的開発プロセスの概要を紹介するとともに、緩衝材の状態変遷の不確実性を定量化するために実施したTH連成現象を支配するパラメータの調査及びそのパラメータの不確実性を考慮した既存のTH連成解析技術の適用性の確認の試行結果について報告する。

The magnetic properties and the electronic excitations of the new diluted magnetic semiconductor Ba$$_{1-x}$$K$$_x$$(Zn$$_{1-y}$$Mn$$_y$$)$$_2$$As$$_2$$ have been studied by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). The sum rule analysis of the XMCD spectra indicates that the Mn atoms are in the high-spin configurations of $$d^5$$, whereas the presence of competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions between the Mn ions reduces the net spin moment. Based on a comparison of the RIXS line shapes with those of Ga$$_{1-x}$$Mn$$_x$$As, it is concluded that the ground state of Mn in Ba$$_{1-x}$$K$$_x$$(Zn$$_{1-y}$$Mn$$_y$$)$$_2$$As$$_2$$ consists of both the $$3d^5 underline{L}$$ and $$3d^5$$ electron configurations.

The antibiotic ciprofloxacin is recognized as a contaminant of emerging concern because its persistent occurrence in water accelerates the growth of deadly antimicrobial resistance genes. For the first time, the conventional precipitation technique was thermally modified to produce hybrid magnesium hydroxide/magnesium oxide nanorods for efficient and rapid adsorption of CIP from water. The successful synthesis was confirmed by the outcomes of TEM, EDS, XRD, and FTIR analysis. Mg(OH)$$_{2}$$/MgO exhibited an extraordinary capability to adsorb CIP from water regardless of CIP initial concentration under neutral pH and room temperature. FTIR analysis for the spent Mg(OH)$$_{2}$$/MgO revealed that bridging complexation with carboxylic group and electrostatic attraction with the positive amine group are the responsible mechanisms for CIP adsorption by Mg(OH)$$_{2}$$/MgO. Moreover, simulated CIP-contaminated river water was efficiently treated by Mg (OH)$$_{2}$$/MgO which proves the promising performance of Mg(OH)$$_{2}$$/MgO in field scale applications.

高レベル放射性廃棄物の地層処分の安全評価には地層中の長期にわたる地下水流動と核種移行プロセスの把握が求められる。沿岸部地下環境において、地下水流動は海水起源の塩水と陸水起源の淡水の密度差による複雑な相互作用の影響を受ける。加えて、数百万年の長期においては、海進・海退に伴う海水準変動の影響を受ける。本研究では、そのような沿岸域における亀裂性の結晶質岩を対象とした処分場の地下水流動と核種移行を評価するため、塩分濃度と地下水流速などの地下水環境の長期的な変遷を評価するための広域スケールとブロックスケールを組み合わせた評価フレームを構築した。

Hybridization of Bogoliubov quasiparticles (BQPs) between the CuO$$_2$$ layers in the triple-layer cuprate high-temperature superconductor Bi$$_2$$Sr$$_2$$Ca$$_2$$Cu$$_3$$O$$_{10+delta}$$ is studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). In the superconducting state, an anti-crossing gap opens between the outer- and inner-BQP bands, which we attribute primarily to interlayer single-particle hopping with possible contributions from interlayer Cooper pairing. We find that the $$d$$-wave superconducting gap of both BQP bands smoothly develops with momentum without abrupt jump in contrast to a previous ARPES study. Hybridization between the BQPs also gradually increases in going from the off-nodal to the anti-nodal region, which is explained by the momentum-dependence of the interlayer single-particle hopping. As possible mechanisms for the enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature, the hybridization between the BQPs, as well as the combination of phonon modes of the triple CuO$$_2$$ layers and spin fluctuations are discussed.

A fundamental understanding of the interfacial magnetic properties in ferromagnetic heterostructures is essential for utilizing ferromagnetic materials for spintronic device applications. Here, we investigate the interfacial magnetic and electronic structures of epitaxial single-crystalline LaAlO$$_3$$(LAO)/La$$_{0.6}$$Sr$$_{0.4}$$MnO$$_3$$(LSMO)/Nb:SrTiO$$_3$$(Nb:STO) heterostructures with varying LSMO layer thicknesses, in which the magnetic anisotropy strongly changes with the LSMO thickness due to the delicate balance between strains originating from both the Nb:STO and LAO layers, using X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and photoemission spectroscopy. We successfully detect the clear change of the magnetic behavior of the Mn ions concomitant with the thickness-dependent metal-insulator transition. Our results suggest that the double-exchange interaction induces ferromagnetism in the metallic LSMO film under tensile strain caused by the STO substrate, while the superexchange interaction determines the magnetic behavior in the insulating LSMO film under compressive strain originating from the top LAO layer. The change in strain, depending on LSMO layer thickness, is confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscopy. Based on those findings, the formation of a magnetic dead layer near the LAO/LSMO interface is attributed to competition between the superexchange interaction via Mn $$3d_{3z^2-r^2}$$ orbitals under compressive strain and the double-exchange interaction via the $$3d_{x^2-y^2}$$ orbitals. These findings provide key aspects of ferromagnetic oxide heterostructures for the development of spintronic device applications.

2019年4月「はやぶさ2」ミッションは、地球に近い炭素質の小惑星(162173)リュウグウの人工衝撃実験を成功させた。これは露出した地下物質を調査し、放射加熱の潜在的な影響をテストする機会を提供した。はやぶさ2の近赤外線分光器(NIRS3)によるリュウグウの地下物質の観測結果を報告する。発掘された材料の反射スペクトルは、表面で観測されたものと比較して、わずかに強くピークがシフトした水酸基(OH)の吸収を示す。これは、宇宙風化や放射加熱が最上部の表面で微妙なスペクトル変化を引き起こしたことを示している。ただし、このOH吸収の強度と形状は、表面と同様に、地下物質が300$$^{circ}$$Cを超える加熱を経験したことを示している。一方、熱物理モデリングでは、軌道長半径が0.344AUに減少しても、推定される掘削深度1mでは放射加熱によって温度が200$$^{circ}$$Cを超えて上昇しないことが示されている。これは、リュウグウ母天体が放射加熱と衝撃加熱のいずれか、もしくは両方により熱変化が発生したという仮説を裏付けている。

In order to understand the mechanism of the ferromagnetism in Ga$$_{1-x}$$Mn$$_{x}$$As ((Ga,Mn)As), we have investigated the magnetic behavior on a microscopic level through systematic temperature ($$T$$) and magnetic-field ($$H$$) dependent soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) experiments at the Mn $$L_mathrm{2,3}$$ absorption edges. The $$T$$ and $$H$$ dependences of XMCD intensities have been analyzed using a model consisting of the ferromagnetic (FM), paramagnetic, and superparamagnetic (SPM) components. Intriguingly, we have found a common behavior for the ferromagnetic ordering process in (Ga,Mn)As samples with different Mn concentrations and different Curie temperature ($$T_mathrm{C}$$) values. In particular, the SPM component develops well above $$T_mathrm{C}$$, indicating that local FM regions are formed well above $$T_mathrm{C}$$. The present findings indicate that the onset of ferromagnetic ordering is triggered by local electronic states around the substitutional Mn ions. Insight into the most representative ferromagnetic semiconductor, (Ga,Mn)As, will be an important step in understanding the mechanism of ferromagnetic ordering in various ferromagnetic semiconductor families.

(Ga$$_{1-x}$$,Fe$$_x$$)Sb is one of the promising ferromagnetic semiconductors for spintronic device applications because its Curie temperature (Tc) is above 300 K when the Fe concentration $$x$$ is equal to or higher than 0.20. However, the origin of the high Tc in (Ga,Fe)Sb remains to be elucidated. To address this issue, we use resonant photoemission spectroscopy (RPES) and first-principles calculations to investigate the x dependence of the Fe 3$$d$$ states in (Ga$$_{1-x}$$,Fe$$_x$$)Sb ($$x$$ = 0.05, 0.15, and 0.25) thin films. The observed Fe 2$$p$$-3$$d$$ RPES spectra reveal that the Fe-3$$d$$ impurity band (IB) crossing the Fermi level becomes broader with increasing $$x$$, which is qualitatively consistent with the picture of double-exchange interaction. Comparison between the obtained Fe-3$$d$$ partial density of states and the first-principles calculations suggests that the Fe-3$$d$$ IB originates from the minority-spin ($$downarrow$$) $$e$$ states. The results indicate that enhancement of the double-exchange interaction between $$e_{downarrow}$$ electrons with increasing $$x$$ is the origin of the high Tc in (Ga,Fe)Sb.

Electronic structure of the high-$$T_{rm C}$$ ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Fe)Sb; X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and resonance photoemission spectroscopy studies

坂本 祥哉*; Tu, N. T.*; 竹田 幸治; 藤森 伸一; Hai, P. N.*; Anh, L. D.*; 若林 勇希*; 芝田 悟朗*; 堀尾 眞史*; 池田 啓祐*; et al.

Physical Review B, 100(3), p.035204_1 - 035204_8, 2019/07

The electronic structure and the magnetism of the ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Fe)Sb, whose Curie temperature $$T_{rm C}$$ can exceed room temperature, were investigated by means of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), and resonance photoemission spectroscopy (RPES). The line-shape analyses of the XAS and XMCD spectra suggest that the ferromagnetism is of intrinsic origin. The orbital magnetic moments deduced using XMCD sum rules were found to be large, indicating that there is a considerable 3$$d^{6}$$ contribution to the ground state of Fe. From RPES, we observed a strong dispersive Auger peak and nondispersive resonantly enhanced peaks in the valence-band spectra. The latter is a fingerprint of the correlated nature of Fe 3$$d$$ electrons, whereas the former indicates their itinerant nature. It was also found that the Fe 3$$d$$ states have a finite contribution to the density of states at the Fermi energy. These states, presumably consisting of majority-spin $$p$$-$$d$$ hybridized states or minority-spin e states, would be responsible for the ferromagnetic order in this material.
