原子力発電は、カーボンニュートラルな未来を実現するための重要な低炭素エネルギー源である。沸騰水型原子炉(BWR)では、燃料棒周囲における蒸気と水の環状流が原子炉の安全性にとって極めて重要であるが、その高温高圧条件(285
C、7MPa)により、直接計測が困難である。この問題に対処するため、我々はHFC134a-エタノール系を低温定圧条件(40C、0.7MPa)で用いることで、BWRの液膜流の模擬実験を実施した。高速度カメラと定電流法を用いて、液膜特性、波速度および周波数を分析した。また表面張力と界面せん断応力の影響を調査した。さらに基底液膜厚さについて新たな相関関係を提案した。

被引用回数：0Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) existing in groundwaters near geological disposal site may affect the migration and fate of released radionuclides (e.g., uranium (U)). However, it is still unclear how DIC affects the sorption of U(VI) on mudstone, a potential choice for host rock formation barriers, and the characteristics of U(VI) adsorption species. In view of this, adsorption of U(VI) on mudstone as a function of pH or the DIC level was investigated through batch adsorption experiments, component additivity (CA) modeling, and parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis of cryogenic time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (cryo-TRLFS). The inhibition effect of DIC on adsorption of U(VI) was implied from the batch experimental results. The CA model considering montmorillonite and illite as the main phases responsible for adsorption reflected the variation trend but underestimated the experimental data. Three components were decomposed from the PARAFAC analysis of the cryo-TRLFS data of mudstone and adsorption samples. Based on the spectral shapes, lifetimes, and variation trends, two components were assigned to the intrinsic U(VI) species in the mudstone matrix and the third component to a ternary uranyl-carbonate surface species. The obtained results imply a significant influence of the DIC level on retention and fate of U(VI), which needs to be considered in safety assessment of potential deep geological disposal schemes.

The Hall effect is one of the most fundamental but elusive phenomena in condensed matter physics due to the rich variety of underlying mechanisms. Here we report an exceptionally large Hall effect in a frustrated magnet, GdCu, with high conductivity. The Hall conductivity at the base temperature shows abrupt sign changes under magnetic fields. Our systematic measurements indicate that the unusual Hall effect can be understood in terms of spin-splitting-induced emergence/disappearance of Fermi pockets as well as skew scattering from spin-chiral cluster fluctuations in a field-polarized state. The present study demonstrates a complex interplay among magnetization, spin-dependent electronic structure, and spin fluctuations in producing the giant Hall effect in highly conductive frustrated magnets with a distorted triangular lattice.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)MXenes are a promising class of 2D nanomaterials and are of particular interest for gas barrier application. However, MXene nanosheets naturally bear a negative charge, which prevents assembly with negatively charged polymers, such as polyacrylic acid (PAA), into gas barrier coatings. Here, we present MXene- and PAA-based layer-by-layer (MXene/PAA LbL) multilayers formed by leveraging hydrogen bonding interactions. When assembled in acidic conditions, MXene/PAA LbL films exhibit conformal, pin-hole free, nacre-like structures. The MXene/PAA LbL films yield high blocking capability and low permeability (0.14

Specifically, the reversible deconstruction of these films under basic conditions is experimentally verified. This study shows that hydrogen bonding interactions can be leveraged to form MXene LbL multilayers as gas barriers, electronically conducive coatings, and deconstructable thin films via pH control.

Cultural heritage artifacts often display complex, multi-layered structures. Therefore, an in situ noninvasive method is required for determining the elemental distribution of such materials. We present a nondestructive 3D elemental analysis approach for an Edo-period ceramic crucible using muonic X-ray measurements. The system employs four CdTe semiconductor imaging detectors to acquire 2D elemental distributions at 12 measurement angles, and 3D images were reconstructed based on computed tomography. We adjusted muon energy to penetrate the metallic layer covering the crucible bottom and analyze the interior of the crucible. Silicon(Si) and oxygen(O) signals were successfully identified, and these signals, originating from highly abundant silica (SiO) within the crucible matrix, confirmed the ceramic composition. These findings demonstrated the capability of muonic X-ray imaging in achieving depth-resolved analysis by controlling the observation position of an object. The presented method is broadly valuable for the cultural heritage study.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：96.19(Instruments & Instrumentation)JSNS investigates short-baseline neutrino oscillations using a 24-meter baseline and a 17-tonne Gd-loaded liquid scintillator target. Accurate event-reconstruction algorithms are crucial for analyzing experimental data. The algorithms undergo meticulous validation through calibration with a Cf source. This paper outlines the methodology and evaluates the reconstruction performance, focusing on neutrino interactions up to approximately 50 MeV for sterile neutrino searches. Both Cf and Michel electron events are studied to evaluate reconstruction accuracy. The analysis concludes that the uncertainty of the fiducial volume, with an appropriate correction, is much less than the requirement of JSNS requirement (10%). Furthermore, the energy resolution is measured to be 3.3 0.1% for the Michel electron endpoint and 4.3 0.1% for the n-Gd peak in the central region.

被引用回数：5 パーセンタイル：79.00(Geochemistry & Geophysics)Typical vertical profiles of ion-adsorption type rare earth element deposits (REE-IADs) discovered in the central Japan were studied by various speciation analyses including X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy combined with transmission electron microscope (TEM) and adsorption/desorption experiments. The results revealed that REE speciation, migration and enrichment in the weathered granite is largely controlled by soil pH which control the variable charges of kaolinite as the REE host phase. The distribution coefficient Kd, together with the soil pH, increases as the depth increase, resulting in (i) REE dissolution and migration in upper layers near the surface acidic environment where hydroxyls of kaolinite basal surfaces and edges are deprotonated to a lesser degree and (ii) REE accumulation in relatively high pH environment below the surface where hydroxyls of kaolinite basal surfaces and edges deprotonated to a larger degree to produce variable charges as adsorption sites for REEs. The increase of soil pH above 6 in deeper layers promotes inner-sphere complexation of REEs. The inner-sphere complexation inhibits the ion-exchange extraction of REEs, but the inner-sphere complexes can be still extracted by lowering the pH, which suggests the adsorption of inner- and outer-sphere complexes is reversible. This fact is important both from (i) understanding of vertical profile of REE with variation of pH and (ii) effective recovery of REE from weathered granite at all the depths in the enriched layer.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：61.28(Chemistry, Physical)This study performed batch sorption experiments using Eu and Sm as chemical analogs of trivalent actinides to evaluate their sorption behavior onto illite in the presence of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). The results were analyzed using a thermodynamic sorption model (TSM), which predicted that Eu/Sm forms ternary-surface complexes with carbonate ions. Time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) measurements were performed to gather information on the chemical forms of sorbed Eu on illite. Parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) of the TRLFS data indicated the presence of two Eu chemical species. The pH dependence of the chemical species was consistent with that of the surface species predicted by TSM. The dominant chemical species in the presence of carbonate was inferred to be coordinating carbonate ions based on the fluorescence lifetime, supporting the validity of the TSM.

To minimize the use of organic solvents and achieve a selective adsorption separation of minor actinides (MA(III)) and Ln(III), adsorbents consisting of SiO-P particles impregnated with hexaoctylnitrilotriacetamide (HONTA) were prepared. Batch experiments were performed to evaluate the adsorption properties of the HONTA/SiO-P adsorbent for MA(III) and simulated fission products in HNO
solution. The uniform distribution of Eu(III) on the adsorbent was confirmed via particle induced X-ray emission analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that EuNO was the adsorbed species. This study provides a simplified process for the separation of MA(III) using a HONTA/SiO-P packed column.

Using integrated experimental and theoretical approaches, the goal of this study is to obtain the cementation factor of rocks (both reservoir rock and caprock) and assess the impact of diagenesis processes on the values of the cementation factor. Thirteen samples of geologically diverse rocks (six mudstones, four fossiliferous limestones, two marbles, and one sandstone) were selected to achieve these research objectives. Two approaches, the diffusion of gas tracers and the Bosanquet formula calculation using pore-throat sizes from mercury intrusion porosimetry analyses, were used to derive the cementation factors of these rock samples. These rocks were categorized into two groups based on the correlation between average pore-throat diameter and diffusivity, and an exponential-law relationship between the cementation factor and porosity was determined for these sample groups. In addition, thin-section petrography and field emission-scanning electron microscopy observations were utilized to investigate diagenetic processes, with four diagenetic patterns being established: (1) strong compaction, strong cementation, and weak dissolution-diagenesis pattern; (2) weak compaction, medium cementation, and weak dissolution-diagenesis pattern; (3) weak compaction, medium cementation, and strong dissolution-diagenesis pattern; and (4) fracture-matrix pattern. The results indicated that diagenetic processes and microfractures contribute to the variability in the cementation factors in these rock samples.

The inhibiting effect of DIC on U(VI) sorption was revealed by the macroscopic batch experimental results. An updated 2-site protolysis non-electrostatic surface complexation and cation exchange model considering the formation of two uranyl-carbonate sorption complexes was able to reproduce the experimental results well. Based on the PARAFAC analysis on the cryo-TRLFS spectra, there was clear correspondence in the variation trend of the derived components with the sorption species from the modeling results, validating the formation of ternary uranyl-carbonate sorption species.

The magnetic moment direction of the ferrimagnetic order changes from in the kagome plane to the out-of-plane upon cooling, which is essential for generating the Chern gap, but the underlying mechanism for the spin reorientation remains elusive. Here, we investigate the spin-reorientation transition in TbMnSn using neutron scattering. We provide direct evidence for the spin-reorientation transition and unveil the coexistence of two Tb modes at 200 K. To account for these results, we put forward a model based on SU(N) spin-wave theory, in which there is a temperature evolution of the ground state Tb 
orbitals, driven by the crystalline electric field, single-ion anisotropy, and exchange interactions between Tb and Mn ions. Our findings shed light on the complex magnetism of TbMnSn, despite its relatively simple ground state magnetic structure, and provide insights into the mechanisms for tuning magnetic topological materials.

被引用回数：5 パーセンタイル：67.23(Nuclear Science & Technology)The REPRO-TDE test was performed at a depth of about 400 m in the ONKALO underground research facility in Finland. Synthetic groundwater containing radionuclide tracers (HTO, Cl-36, Na-22, Ba-133, Cs-134) was circulated for about four years in a packed-off interval of the injection borehole. Tracer activities were additionally monitored in two observation boreholes. The test was the subject of a modelling exercise by the SKB GWFTS Task Force. Eleven teams participated in the exercise, using different model concepts and approaches. Predictive model calculations were based on laboratory-based information concerning porosities, diffusion coefficients and sorption partition coefficients. After the experimental results were made available, the teams were able to revise their models to reproduce the observations. General conclusions from these back-analysis calculations include the need for reduced effective diffusion coefficients for Cl-36 compared to those applicable to HTO (anion exclusion), the need to implement weaker sorption for Na-22, compared to results from laboratory batch-sorption experiments, and the observation of large differences between the theoretical initial concentrations for the strongly-sorbing Ba-133 and Cs-134 and the first measured values a few hours after tracer injection. Different teams applied different concepts, concerning mainly the implementation of isotropic vs. anisotropic diffusion, or the possible existence of Borehole Disturbed Zones around the different boreholes. The role of microstructure was also addressed in two of the models.

被引用回数：4 パーセンタイル：67.23(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)This study examined the effects of alloying elements such as Re and Ta on the microstructural evolution of recrystallized W under proton and self-ion irradiations at 800C. Although the number density of voids increased with increasing proton-induced damage level, the void density in W-Re and W-Ta alloys were lower than that of pure W. Herein, the addition of Re and Ta to W suppresses the void formation process. In the proton-irradiated W-3%Re, a lot of dislocation loops were observed at 0.05 dpa which is the stage of nucleation. The evolution process up to 0.2 dpa was characterized by loop growth via the absorption of clusters and point defects. The dislocation loops then coalesce and grow large, and the dislocation lines become tangled at 1 dpa. At 0.05 dpa, the dislocation loops in pure W have already evolved into the tangled dislocations. Solute Re may inhibit the mobility of small dislocation loops and SIA clusters. In W-3%Ta irradiated at 0.05 and 0.2 dpa, the coalescence process of the elongated dislocation loops was observed. Solute Ta may inhibit the mobility of SIA clusters. Although no voids and rafts were observed in self-ion irradiated W-3%Re to 0.2 dpa, not only dislocation loops but also voids and rafts were observed in pure W to 0.2 dpa. The solute Re would suppress the raft formation and then the void formation under self-ion irradiation.
