被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.02(Instruments & Instrumentation)Spent PUREX solvent, which mainly consists of tributyl phosphate (TBP) and normal dodecane, is generated by solvent extraction of Plutonium and Uranium in the spent nuclear fuel reprocessing. One of the treatment options for storage of the spent solvent is adsorption of the liquid into vermiculite. The organic liquid is considered to be trapped between layers of the vermiculite. Our previous experiments on the adsorption of spent solvent into the vermiculite have shown that some parts of loaded solvent gradually leaked out from the vermiculite. In order to investigate the adsorption mechanism and capacity, elution behavior of the loaded solvent into organic diluents were evaluated. A part of the loaded solvent was easily leaked into the diluent, while some solvent remained inside the particle even after the leaching test. In this study, the adsorption capacity of the vermiculite was evaluated through amount of remaining solvent after washing with diluents. The amount of the remaining solvent was analyzed by Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) on P contained in TBP. Peak intensity of P-K line depended on the washing condition, and the behavior of the amount of change in adsorbed P atom qualitatively agreed with the results of the leaching test.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.01(Chemistry, Analytical)Radioactive aqueous and organic liquid wastes contaminated by U are generated by solvent extraction of nuclear fuel materials in experiments of reprocessing technologies. Although incineration and denitrification/conversion processes are promising for treating such liquid waste, the installation of large equipment is essential. To give appropriate treatment procedures for radioactive liquid waste generated in nuclear facilities, STRAD (Systematic Treatments of RAdioactive liquid wastes for Decommissioning) project was started by Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) with several organizations. We are focusing on baker's yeasts for their excellent metal ions adsorption characteristics, easy handling and low prices. In order to optimize adsorption performance and operation procedures as the liquid waste treatment technology, adsorption performance of U has to be precisely investigated. In this study, adsorption performance of U and anion from nitric acid solution was investigated by batch-wise adsorption experiments.

A new type of electron-boson coupling between the mobile electrons and quadrupole CEF-excitations of the 4f orbitals was found. The coupling is exceedingly strong and exhibits anomalous step-like enhancement during the devil's staircase transition, unveiling a new type of quasiparticle, named multipole polaron.

被引用回数:6 パーセンタイル:50.41(Physics, Multidisciplinary)To elucidate the spin dynamics of LaSrCuO, which couples with the charge degree of freedom, the spin excitations spanning the characteristic energy ( 35-40 meV) are investigated for underdoped = 0.10 and optimally doped (OP) = 0.16 through inelastic neutron scattering measurements. Analysis based on a two-component picture of high-quality data clarified the possible coexistence of upright standing incommensurate (IC) excitations with gapless commensurate (C) excitations in the energy-momentum space. The IC component weakens the intensity toward with increasing energy transfer (), whereas the C component strengthens at high- regions. The analysis results imply that the superposition of two components with a particular intensity balance forms an hourglass-shaped excitation in appearance. Furthermore, the temperature dependence of the intensity of each component exhibits different behaviors; the IC component disappears near the pseudo-gap temperature () upon warming, whereas the C component is robust against temperature. These results suggest the itinerant electron spin nature and the localized magnetism of the parent LaCuO in IC and C excitations, respectively, similar to the spin excitations in the OP YBaCuO and HgBaCuO with higher superconducting-transition temperatures.

In order to achieve stable operation of J-PARC accelerator, we studied the conductance of a slit used for a gas sheet monitor. The flow rate of a rarefied gas through a long rectangular channel with a very small height (H) to width (W) ratio was experimentally investigated using N and Ar for the wide range of the Knudsen number Kn, which is defined as a ratio of H to the mean free path. Here the dimensions of the channel are as follows: H=0.1 mm, W=50 mm, and the length L=100 mm. The conductance, which is proportional to the dimensionless flow rate, decreases from the value in free-molecular regime and reaches the Knudsen minimum at Kn 1.2, as the inlet gas pressure increases. Then, assuming fully developed gas flow, the reduced flow rate G has been estimated as a function of the local rarefaction parameter using the experimental data.

We studied the temperature dependence of spin excitation in the underdoped LaSrCuO in a wide energy range. At low temperature, a clear magnetic signal emerging from incommensurate (IC) (0.50.09, 0.5) positions was observed. The low-energy (10 meV) IC signal was confirmed at 200K, while the IC signal gradually merges upon warming and turns into a single commensurate peak centered at (0.5, 0.5) at 300 K. The overall spectral shape above 60 meV measured at 5 K and 350 K was almost the same, meaning the weak thermal effect on the high-energy dispersion relation. This weak change in the high-energy dispersion is consistent with the localized spin picture, whereas the robust IC structure against the temperature would be difficult to explain within a simple stripe model.

被引用回数:19 パーセンタイル:44.94(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)Proteins recognize a specific DNA sequence not only through direct contact (direct readout) with base pairs but also through sequence-dependent conformation and/or flexibility of DNA (indirect readout). However, it is difficult to assess the contribution of indirect readout to the sequence specificity. What is needed is a straightforward method for quantifying its contributions to specificity. Using Bayesian statistics, we derived the probability of a particular sequence for a given DNA structure from the trajectories of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of DNAs containing all possible tetramer sequences. Then, we quantified the specificity of indirect readout based on the information entropy associated with the probability. We tested this method with known structures of protein-DNA complexes. This method enabled us to correctly predict those regions where experiments suggested the involvement of indirect readout. The results also indicated new regions where the indirect readout mechanism makes major contributions to the recognition. The present method can be used to estimate the contribution of indirect readout without approximations to the distributions in the conformational ensembles of DNA, and would serve as a powerful tool to study the mechanism of protein-DNA recognition.

The construction of a new polarized neutron reflectometer is now in progress at the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). MLF has the world's brightest pulsed neutron and muon sources (JSNS and MUSE). The user program of MLF has been already started in 2008, and now nine neutron and two muon spectrometers are in operation. Installation of the new reflectometer was expected to be completed in March 2011. However, the construction was interrupted by the massive earthquake hitting northeast Japan, including Tokai-mura where J-PARC is located. We expect to restart the user program of the new polarized neutron reflectometer at the beginning of next year (2012).

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:65.52(Physics, Applied)In spin-exchange optical pumping, there is unknown excess relaxation, called the X-factor, that limits attainable He polarization. It is known that the X-factor depends on the glass containers. Hence, it is expected that there are cell-to-cell variations in microscopic structure among the cells and that these variations affect the attainable He polarization. However, microscopic structure of the glasses for He neutron spin filters has not been clarified yet. In this paper, we have performed precise X-ray diffraction measurements for the glasses at SPring-8 using synchrotron radiation. The structural differences are observed between several types of glasses, and also, between the GE180 glass pieces with different thermal treatment. Based on the results, the structural influence on the performance of He neutron spin filters is discussed.

Polarized He neutron spin filters have attracted much attention because of their available wide energy range for polarizing neutrons and their large solid-angle. To use He neutron spin filters for the experiments, it is necessary to produce glass cells with good quality. For this purpose, we made research on the glass cells from several aspects. Firstly, we investigated on the microscopic structure for several glasses by means of X-ray diffraction measurement and tried to find a good measure of evaluating the quality of the cells in terms of their structure. Secondly, we investigated on the glass window, which the laser beam passes through for optical pumping. Thirdly, the cells should be optimized for the polarized neutron scattering experiments and the background from the cells needs to be evaluated. The scattered intensity from the cell in small-angle neutron scattering will also be presented.

From these measurements, a structural difference was observed among GE180 glasses with different thermal treatments.

Polarized He neutron spin filters are promising neutron polarizers in polarized neutron scattering experiments at facilities with two-dimensional detectors and pulsed neutron source. Although they are now operational at several institutions, it is still desired to be developed. Among required factors for the development, the study on the glasses in the filters is one of the important issues. In this paper, we report our recent investigation on the glass cells such as X-ray diffraction measurements and the measurements of the degree of circular polarization of the transmitted laser light through the glass window in the filter.
