被引用回数：0We investigated the electronic properties of RuAs ( = La, Ce, Sm, and Yb) using single-crystalline samples grown by the Bi-flux method. These compounds crystallize in the non-centrosymmetric hexagonal LaCoP -type structure, featuring both a chain and triangular arrangement of magnetic ions. From the electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat measurements, we have found that SmRuAs 
As order antiferromagnetically below the N
el temperature of 1.5 and 9.5~K, respectively. Despite the relatively high transition temperature of YbRuAs, its magnetic field-temperature phase diagram reveals that the antiferromagnetic state collapses at a low field of 
~=~1.7~T, accompanied by a non-linear magnetization anomaly. The magnetization curve is similar to that of chiral helical magnets. The small critical field and characteristic magnetization curve in YbRuAs likely originate from magnetic frustration.

Sn nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on high-quality single crystals of URhSn, which reveal NMR line splittings indicative of symmetry breaking in the intermediate phase. The field-direction and site dependences of these splittings are consistent with antiferroquadrupolar ordering characterized by the space group P321 (No.150). This finding confirms the emergence of a novel form of chiral order driven by electronic degrees of freedom, without an underlying chiral crystal structure in URhSn.

In nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of the prototypical heavy-fermion compound CeIrIn in high magnetic fields applied close to the crystallographic

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Polymer Science)Polyrotaxane (PR) exhibits unique mechanical properties due to the ability of its cyclic molecules to move or slide along the axial chain. Thus, to design advanced polymer-based composite materials and organic devices, it is crucial to better understand the aggregation states at the surface and substrate interface in polymer films containing PR. Here, we report the depth profile of PR along the direction normal to the interface when it is mixed with polystyrene (PS). Neutron reflectivity and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that PS and PR segregated at the surface and substrate interface, respectively, and that the extent of segregation depended on the length of PS. The surface enrichment of PS is driven by both energy and entropy, whereas the enrichment of PR at the substrate interface is energy driven.

The performance of structural adhesives is strongly influenced by the interfacial structure between the adhesive and adherend. In this study, we developed a nanometric stable interfacial layer derived from an epoxy resin system containing excess hardener. This layer, formed on solid substrates, exhibited excellent structural stability, even after extensive solvent washing. Neutron reflectometry (NR) was employed to investigate its structure under both dry and humid conditions, revealing a robust and well-defined interface that suppressed moisture accumulation at the adherend interface. FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed an excess of unreacted amino groups in the adsorbed layer, enabling further curing reactions with freshly applied epoxy resin. Re-coating experiments demonstrated that the adsorbed layer remained intact after thermal curing, suggesting strong interfacial compatibility. Notably, the presence of the adsorbed layer led to a significant enhancement in adhesive performance. Lap shear tests showed that the adhesion strength of the epoxy resin nearly doubled when the adsorbed layer was introduced at the interface. This approach does not rely on external coupling agents or primers, but instead utilizes a homologous material system to tailor interfacial properties through molecular-level design. The strategy presented here offers a practical and scalable method for improving adhesion in epoxy systems. By directly engineering the adhesive interface using components intrinsic to the epoxy formulation, this method enables reliable and enhanced bonding performance without altering the bulk material.

This study developed a neutron-beam focusing supermirror for grazing-incidence small-angle neutron scattering (GISANS) measurements. It was fabricated by depositing NiC/Ti supermirror film with ion-beam sputtering on a precise elliptic surface of fused quartz figured using the elastic emission machining technique. Neutron measurements at a pulsed neutron reflectometer BL17 of MLF, J-PARC successfully demonstrated that the focusing supermirror enhances a beam intensity twentyfold compared with an optimally collimated beam, achieving the signal-to-background ratio of the focal spot as high as 500. The mirror can be readily installed and used at BL17.

被引用回数：11 パーセンタイル：94.22(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The discovery of multiple superconducting phases in UTe boosted research on correlated-electron physics. This heavy-fermion paramagnet was rapidly identified as a reference compound to study the interplay between magnetism and unconventional superconductivity with multiple degrees of freedom. The proximity to a ferromagnetic quantum phase transition was initially proposed as a driving force to triplet-pairing superconductivity. However, we find here that long-range incommensurate antiferromagnetic order is established under pressure. The propagation vector k
= (0.07, 0.33, 1) of the antiferromagnetic phase is close to a wavevector where antiferromagnetic fluctuations have previously been observed at ambient pressure. These elements support that UTe is a nearly-antiferromagnet at ambient pressure. Our work appeals for theories modelling the evolution of the magnetic interactions and electronic properties, driving a correlated paramagnetic regime at ambient pressure to a long-range antiferromagnetic order under pressure. A deeper understanding of itinerant-f-electrons magnetism in UTe will be a key for describing its unconventional superconducting phases.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：34.76(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We present the nonreciprocal magnetoresistance (NRMR) and spin texture of the noncentrosymmetric magnetic semiconductor EuIrInGe. Anisotropy measurements of NRMR for different crystalline axes under rotational magnetic fields revealed a two-dimensional Dresselhaus-type spin texture of this material, where the spin polarization is confined to the tetragonal (001) plane. Strong coupling between NRMR and magnetism was suggested by the low-temperature field dependence of NRMR; however, the magnitude of NRMR was more rapidly suppressed by increasing the temperature than that of magnetic susceptibility. This distinct behavior implies extra mechanisms to reduce the NRMR in addition to the reduction of magnetic moment due to the temperature increase.

Sm SR-based Mssbauer and muon spin relaxation (SR) spectroscopies have been applied to SmRuGe. The temperature dependence of the Sm SR-based Mssbauer spectra in the paramagnetic state implies the presence of dynamical nuclear Zeeman and/or quadrupole interactions. The time differential SR spectra also exhibit a marked temperature dependence in the paramagnetic state, indicating the presence of magnetic fluctuation in SmRuGe at least. These results in the present work infer that the dynamical hyperfine interactions observed using the mutually complementary spectroscopic methods are connected with the mechanism of the heavy fermion behavior in SmRuGe.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：12.12(Polymer Science)A better understanding of the dynamic behavior of polymer chains on solid surfaces is indispensable for the design and construction of high-performance polymer composites. We herein visualized the in-plane movement of isolated poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) (PtBMA) single chains on hydrophilic silicon wafers under ambient conditions by atomic force microscopy. Isolated PMMA chains adsorbed to the substrate, whereas PtBMA chains diffused, the degree of which was dependent on the humidity. Neutron reflectivity revealed the formation of a layer of condensed water on the substrate. All-atomistic molecular dynamics simulations implied that the diffusivity difference of the two polymers was based on the submerged depth in which a part of a chain existed. That is, the interaction of a polymer with the surface of the hydrophilic substrate primarily governs its lateral movement, or adsorption behavior, facilitated by the presence of water.

Gel permeation chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy confirmed that the polymerization proceeded in a living manner. The scanning electron microscopy results showed that the monodisperse P(St-PhMI) RAFTPP particles with a diameter of 1.88 micrometer were successfully synthesized. The P(St-PhMI) RAFTPP showed excellent thermal stability with a high glass transition temperature and a 5 percent weight loss temperature. The surface concentration of the RAFT groups was determined to be 0.181 groups/square-nanometer due to fragmentation of the RAFT groups exposed on the particles. The small-angle neutron scattering measurements showed the particle formation mechanism, in which the swollen, growing polymer chains were consumed for particle formation. The introduction of grafted chains by surface-initiated RAFT polymerization demonstrated the possibility of further functionalization of P(St-PhMI) RAFTPP particles by exploiting their living nature.

core-level and X-ray absorption spectra were analyzed based on a single-impurity Anderson model. The number of the state in the ground state was estimated to be 0.8-0.9, which is much larger than the values obtained in the previous studies (i.e., 0-0.4).
