被引用回数:0We performed hard X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HAXPES) experiments of bulk single-crystalline InGaZnO (sc-IGZO), which was recently synthesized via the optical floating zone method, in order to reveal the bulk intrinsic electronic structure. We find that oxygen vacancies are preferentially located around In atoms in as-grown crystals, which are filled out by post-annealing in an oxygen atmosphere. The subgap states near the valence-band maximum (VBM) were much weaker than those in the previous study even without oxygen annealing, which suggests that the loss of crystallinity is relevant to the formation of them in addition to the oxygen vacancies.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Transition-metal ions with 5 electronic configuration in a cubic crystal field are prone to have a vanishing dipolar magnetic moment but finite higher-order multipolar moments, and they are expected to exhibit exotic physical properties. Through an investigation using resonant inelastic X-ray spectroscopy (RIXS), Raman spectroscopy, and theoretical ligand-field multiplet and ab initio calculations, we fully characterized the electronic structure of Ba
CaOsO
, particularly, the crystal field symmetry of the 5
electrons in this anomalous material. The low-energy multiplet excitations from RIXS at the oxygen
edge and Raman-active phonons both show no splitting, confirming the absence of Jahn-Teller distortion. These findings are consistent with the ground state with the "hidden order" of magnetic octupoles.

Here, we report the deformation microstructure evolutions in a tensile-deformed CoCr

Ni
alloy, a conventional binary alloy for comparison. These FCC alloys have high/low friction stresses, and share similar other material properties. The Co
Cr
Ni
MEA exhibited higher yield strength and work-hardening ability than in the Co

alloy. Deformation microstructures in the Co
Cr
Ni
alloy were marked by the presence of coarse dislocation cells (DCs) regardless of grain orientation and a few deformation twins (DTs) in grains with the tensile axis (TA) near
1 1 1
. In contrast, the MEA developed three distinct deformation microstructures depending on grain orientations: fine DCs in grains with the TA near
1 0 0
, planar dislocation structure (PDS) in grains with other orientations, and a high density of DTs along with PDS in grains oriented
1 1 1
. These findings demonstrate that FCC HEAs/MEAs with high friction stresses naturally develop unique deformation microstructures which is beneficial for realizing superior mechanical properties compared to conventional materials.

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:43.84(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We investigated decays of K at the ISOLDE Decay Station at CERN in order to understand the mechanism of the
-delayed neutron-emission (
n) process. The experiment quantified neutron and
-ray emission paths for each precursor. We used this information to test the hypothesis, first formulated by Bohr in 1939, that neutrons in the
n process originate from the structureless "compound nucleus". The data are consistent with this postulate for most of the observed decay paths. The agreement, however, is surprising because the compound-nucleus stage should not be achieved in the studied
decay due to insufficient excitation energy and level densities in the neutron emitter. In the
K
n decay, we found a preferential population of the first excited state in
Ca that contradicted Bohr's hypothesis. The latter was interpreted as evidence for direct neutron emission sensitive to the structure of the neutron-unbound state. We propose that the observed nonstatistical neutron emission proceeds through the coupling with nearby doorway states that have large neutron-emission probabilities. The appearance of "compound-nucleus" decay is caused by the aggregated small contributions of multiple doorway states at higher excitation energy.

electrons were examined through the spin-Seebeck effect and neutron scattering measurements. The compound shows a magnetic compensation, where the spin-Seebeck signal reverses above and below

Their temperature dependencies and the direction of the precession motion of magnetic moments, i.e., magnon polarization, defined using polarized neutrons, explain the reversal at

被引用回数:6 パーセンタイル:87.23(Physics, Applied)Electron-doping Mottronics within correlated vanadium dioxide opens up a paradigm to abruptly regulate the Mottronic phase transitions via adjusting the -orbital occupancy and configuration. Nevertheless, the potential impact of high-valence elementary substitution in the hydrogen-associated Mottronic transitions of VO
is yet unclear. Herein, we demonstrate the role of high-valence elementary substitution in regulating the hydrogen-triggered Mottronic transitions of VO
, assisted by quantitative hydrogen analysis using the nuclear reaction analysis. Substituting vanadium with a high-valence transitional metal within doped-VO
largely reduces the hydrogen incorporation compared to the intrinsic VO
under the low temperature hydrogenation process. Therefore, in contrast to hydrogen-induced electron localization of intrinsic VO
upon low-temperature hydrogenation, only the hydrogen-triggered metallic state is observed within the hydrogen-associated phase diagram of W
V
O
, as further probed by the near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The present work reveals the overlooked role associated with the donor substitutions that largely influences the competitive equilibrium between the two rival hydrogen-induced Mottronic transitions within VO
toward either the metallic or the highly insulating phase.

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:20.33(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)NHSCN exhibits successive phase transitions from monoclinic to orthorhombic, and then to tetragonal. The former phase transition is accompanied by an inverse colossal barocaloric effect and a huge negative thermal expansion. This transition is complicated by the possibly coexisting orientational disorder of NH
and SCN
, and the mechanism is still unclear. Here, NH
SCN is investigated using high-resolution neutron powder diffraction, pair distribution function analysis, and Raman scattering. Both the average and local structural analysis indicate that only NH
is orientationally disordered in the orthorhombic phase and SCN
becomes subsequently disordered in the tetragonal phase. Both temperature-induced and pressure-induced hardening behaviors of SCN
related vibrations are observed, which leads to the breakage of hydrogen bonds-linked NH
with SCN
and further facilitates phase transition. Our findings provide a solid standing point of atomic structures and dynamics, on which the scenario of the phase transition and the associated physical properties is established.

被引用回数:10 パーセンタイル:79.13(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The changes in mean-squared charge radii of neutron-deficient gold nuclei have been determined using the in-source, resonance-ionization laser spectroscopy technique, at the ISOLDE facility (CERN). From these new data, nuclear deformations are inferred, revealing a competition between deformed and spherical configurations. The isotopes Au are observed to possess well-deformed ground states and, when moving to lighter masses, a sudden transition to near-spherical shapes is seen in the extremely neutron deficient nuclides,
Au. A case of shape coexistence and shape staggering is identified in
Au which has a ground and isomeric state with different deformations. These new data reveal a pattern in ground-state deformation unique to the gold isotopes, whereby, when moving from the heavy to light masses, a plateau of well-deformed isotopes exists around the neutron midshell, flanked by near-spherical shapes in the heavier and lighter isotopes-a trend hitherto unseen elsewhere in the nuclear chart. The experimental charge radii are compared to those from Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations using the D1M Gogny interaction and configuration mixing between states of different deformation. The calculations are constrained by the known spins, parities, and magnetic moments of the ground states in gold nuclei and show a good agreement with the experimental results.
