We are developing a neutron polarizer with polarized He gas, referred to as a He spin filter, based on the Spin Exchange Optical Pumping (SEOP) for polarized neutron scattering experiments at Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). A He gas-filling station was constructed at J-PARC, and several He cells with long spin relaxation times have been fabricated using the gas-filling station. A laboratory has been prepared in the MLF beam hall for polarizing He cells, and compact pumping systems with laser powers of 30 W and 110 W, which can be installed onto a neutron beamline, have been developed. A He polarization of 85% was achieved at a neutron beamline by using the pumping system with the 110 W laser. Recently, the first user experiment utilizing the He spin filter was conducted, and there have been several more since then. The development and utilization of He spin filters at MLF of J-PARC are reported.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：100(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)In situ neutron diffraction measurements during compressive and tensile tests of an as-cast MgZnY alloy consisting of 
phase (Mg) as the matrix and a long period stacking ordered phase (LPSO) of 25 vol%, were performed to understand deformation behavior of each phase and to monitor the occurrence of kinking during deformation. The LPSO grains yielded possibly via kinking during compressive deformation above the applied true stress of about 137 MPa. The stress partitioning among Mg grains was observed larger in the compressive deformation than in the tensile deformation, that might be due to the large load sharing of Mg grains as a result of the yielding of LPSO grains during compressive deformation.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：100(Chemistry, Physical)Waste heat is a potentially exploitable energy source but remains a problem awaiting a solution. To explore solutions for automobile applications, we investigate pyroelectric power generation from the temperature variation of exhaust gas using a novel electro-thermodynamic cycle. Niobium-doped lead zirconate titanate stannate (PNZST) ceramics were applied as pyroelectric materials, and their structural characteristics were investigated. In the driving cycle assessments (JC-08) using real exhaust gas, the maximum power generated was identified as 143.9 mW cm
(777.3 J L
per 1 cycle) over a temperature range of 150-220 
C and an electric field of 13 kV cm-1. The net mean generating power of the total driving cycle was 40.8 mW cm, which is the most enhanced result in our power generating systems to date and 314 times greater than our first report. Materials with sharp transition behaviors with the temperature and electric field are worthy of study with regard to pyroelectric energy harvesting materials, and their corresponding crystal and domain structures were investigated to optimize performance.

He, 
Li, photon and electron transport, 
B(n,)Li reactions, and energy deposition by particles within CB-KID. Slight blurring in simulated CB-KID images originated He and Li ions spreading out in random directions from the B conversion layer in the detector prior to causing signals in the 
and 
superconducting Nb nanowire meander lines. 478 keV prompt gamma rays emitted by Li nuclei from neutron-B reactions had negligible contribution to the simulated CB-KID images. Simulated neutron images of B dot arrays indicate that sub 10 
m resolution imaging should be feasible with the current CB-KID design. The effect of the geometrical structure of CB-KID on the intrinsic detection efficiency was calculated from the simulations. An analytical equation was then developed to approximate this contribution to the detection efficiency. Detection efficiencies calculated in this study are upper bounds for the reality as the effects of detector temperature, the bias current, signal processing and dead-time losses were not taken into account. The modelling strategies employed in this study could be used to evaluate modifications to the CB-KID design prior to actual fabrication and testing, conveying a time and cost saving.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：100(Physics, Condensed Matter)Our previous neutron diffraction measurements investigated strain accumulation mechanism(s) in rock materials under uniaxial compression. This technique, when applied to metallic materials, is suffered by surface effects, gauge volume size effects, and/or incident beam divergence that induce pseudo-strain. Knowledge of the pseudo-strain is therefore necessary for precise evaluation of strain value in a stressed rock material. This work investigated the effects of gauge volume and incident neutron beam divergence on pseudo-strain in rock materials via neutron diffraction experiments performed on three types of sandstone. Spurious peak shifts appeared depending on the gauge volume or incident neutron beam divergence. These peak shifts were inferred to be derived from the difference between a neutron-weighted center of gravity position and a geometric center of the gauge volume position. However, changing the gauge volume height did not cause shift in the peak position.

By adopting the developed technique, the behaviors of the crystal lattice and domains of the piezoelectric material in a multilayer-type piezoelectric actuator driven by a cyclic electric field were evaluated. The variation in diffraction intensity during the application of a cyclic electric field was obtained successfully, and the hysteresis-like behaviors of both the lattice strain and the 90 domain switching were revealed.

被引用回数：10 パーセンタイル：7.99(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Neutron diffraction texture measurements provide bulk textures with excellent grain statistics even for large grained materials, together with the crystallographic parameters and microstructure information such as phase fractions, coherent crystallite size, root mean square microstrain, macroscopic/intergranular stress/strain. The procedure for high stereographic resolution texture and residual stress evaluation was established at the TAKUMI engineering materials diffractometer. The pole figure evaluation of a limestone standard sample with a trigonal crystal structure suggested that the obtained precision for texture measurement is comparable with the oversea well-established neutron beam lines utilized for texture measurements. A high strength martensite-austenite multilayered steel was employed for further verification of the reliability of simultaneous Rietveld analysis of multiphase textures and macro stress tensors. By using a geometric mean micro-mechanical model, the macro stress tensor analysis with a plane stress assumption showed a RD-TD in-plane compressive stress (about -330 MPa) in martensite layers and a RD-TD in-plane tensile stress (about 320 MPa) in austenite layers. The phase stress partitioning was ascribed to the additive effect of volume expansion during martensite transformation and the linear contraction misfit during water quenching.

被引用回数：11 パーセンタイル：26.87(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary) neutron diffraction during tensile deformation of lath martensite steel containing 0.22 mass% of carbon, is performed using TAKUMI of J-PARC. The diffraction peaks at plastically deformed states exhibit asymmetries as the reflection of redistributions of the stress and dislocation densities/arrangements in lath-packets where the dislocation glides are favorable (soft packet) and unfavorable (hard packet). The dislocation density is as high as 10
m
at the as-quenched state, and then during tensile straining, the load and the dislocation density become different between the two lath-packets. The dislocation character and arrangement vary also in the hard packet, but hardly change in the soft packet. The hard packet plays an important role in the high work hardening in martensite, which could be understood by taking into account not only the increase of the dislocation density but also the change in dislocation arrangement.

Sn strands of CIC conductor using neutron diffraction辺見 努*; Harjo, S.; 梶谷 秀樹*; 諏訪 友音*; 齊藤 徹*; 相澤 一也; 長村 光造*; 小泉 徳潔*

The superconducting property of NbSn strands is very sensitive to strain. The transverse electromagnetic loading has been considered as a major origin of the degradation of NbSn cable-in-conduit conductors (CICCs) due to the local bending. Since the bending pitch is around 5 mm due to contacting of strands compacted by the electromagnetic transverse loading, there is a possibility of a large bending strain with small deflection of strands. The bending strain of the strands cannot be evaluated from only the small deflection obtained visually. Measuring bending strain of NbSn strand in CICCs is important for evaluating the conductor performance. Neutrons, which have a large penetration depth, are a powerful tool to evaluate the internal strain of NbSn in the CICC. This paper shows that the bending strain in NbSn strands of CICCs can be determined by the neutron diffraction profile nondestructively and quantitatively.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：39.19The microstructure of the metallic material is widely investigated in order to understand mechanical properties of the material by line profile analysis for X-ray and neutron diffraction data. Neutron diffraction has an advantage for obtaining averaged information of the microstructure inside the bulky material owing to its high transmittance. Further, the variation of the microstructure in the material during mechanical process is able to be observed by in-situ measurements. The Convolutional Multiple Whole Profile (CMWP) fitting method is a state of the art technique for line profile analysis. The dislocation characteristics are evaluated from the shape of the peak profile including the tail by this technique. In this study, the dislocation characteristics in martensitic steels during tensile deformation were studied by in-situ neutron diffraction measurement using the Engineering Materials Diffractometer TAKUMI at J-PARC through line profile analysis using the CMWP fitting method.

被引用回数：3 パーセンタイル：12.79In situ neutron diffraction during tensile deformation of an as-quenched lath martensitic 22SiMn2TiB steel, was performed using a high resolution and high intensity time-offlight neutron diffractometer. The characterizations of dislocations were analyzed using the classical Williamson-Hall (cWH) and modified Williamson-Hall (mWH) plots on the breadth method, and the convolutional multiple whole profile (CMWP) fitting method. As results, the dislocation density as high as 10 m in the as-quenched martensitic steel was determined. The dislocation density was found to decrease qualitatively with plastic deformation by the cWH and mWH plots, but hardly to change by the CMWP method. The scanning transmission electron microscopy observation supported the results of the latter method. In the CMWP method, the parameter 
that represents the arrangement of dislocations was found to decrease rapidly where a very high work hardening was observed.

4SEASONS (
) is one of the three chopper spectrometers operating in MLF at J-PARC, and covers thermal neutron region (
- 
meV) with relaxed resolution and high flux. The repetition rate multiplication by the Fermi chopper on this short length (18 m between the source and the sample) spectrometer enables wide-band multiple-incident-energy (multi-
) measurements, which proved to be useful in observing hierarchical structures in excitations over a large energy scale. On the other hand, the upgrading work of the spectrometer has been continued since the first inelastic scattering experiment in 2009. For examples, we took several measures to suppress background, installed new detectors recently, and are developing a new Fermi chopper now. In the presentation, we show examples of scientific outputs from the spectrometer which benefit from the multi- measurements, and recent or planned upgrades of the instrument.

鉄鋼材料に代表される金属材料の力学的特性を理解するためには、弾性ひずみだけでなく、転位の密度や配列状態など微細構造を評価することが重要である。これらの情報はX線や中性子回折パターンに表れるBraggピークの形状を詳しく解析することで得ることができる。透過能の高い中性子を用いることでバルク状態の材料内部の微細構造に関する情報を得ることができるが、これまで中性子(特にパルス中性子)はあまり適用されてこなかった。我々はJ-PARC物質生命科学実験施設BL19に設置された工学材料回折装置 匠を用いてマルテンサイト鋼の引張り試験その場中性子回折測定を行い、CMWP法と呼ばれる解析法を用いてこの材料の微細構造を調べた。その結果、巨視的なひずみの増加に伴う転位密度の増加は比較的小さく、転位配列の顕著な規則化が観測された。

Measurements of thermal strains in the superconducting constituent (NbSn phase) in NbSn strand were performed using BL19 Takumi of MLF, J-PARC. Lattice parameters of NbSn phase change continuously with increasing temperature. To avoid the thermal expansion effect, lattice parameters of the filaments (extracted from the strand) measured at the same temperatures were used to estimate the thermal strains in NbSn phase. As results, thermal strains for axial direction below 50 K are kept roughly constant at large compressive values, while the values are much lower (the difference is 
0.13%) than that measured at room temperature.

Heの中性子吸収断面積が強いスピン選択性を有することを利用した偏極Heフィルターは、ビーム調整が不要なため、ビームラインに設置すれば直ぐに使える簡便な中性子スピンフィルター(NSF)として利用できる。そのようなNSF実現のためには、NSFのHe偏極度
を定常的にモニタするための核磁気共鳴(NMR)システムの開発が不可欠である。我々は断熱高速通過型(AFP)とパルス型NMRの特徴が相補的であることに着目して2つのシステムを併用した汎用性の高いNMRシステムを開発した。更に、J-PARCの中性子実験装置(BL10)での中性子透過率測定から得られたで校正しながら、温度、パルスNMRの振動磁場の大きさや印可時間などの測定条件を変えて、AFPとパルスNMRの信号間の相関を測定した。例えば、パルスNMR測定に起因する減偏極率を0.1%以下になるまでパルスNMRの検出感度を小さくしても、2つのNMR信号間の線形性は確認できた。これらの結果から、我々は開発したNMRシステムがHe偏極度モニタとして十分機能することを確認した。
