Times Cited Count：4 Percentile：27(Chemistry, Physical)Using neutron spin-echo spectroscopy, we studied the microscopic structural relaxation of a prototypical network ionic liquid ZnCl at the structure factor primary peak and prepeak. The results show that the relaxation at the primary peak is faster than the prepeak and that the activation energy is 
% higher. A stretched exponential relaxation is observed even at temperatures well-above the melting point 
. Surprisingly, the stretching exponent shows a rapid increase upon cooling, especially at the primary peak, where it changes from a stretched exponential to a simple exponential on approaching the . These results suggest that the appearance of glassy dynamics typical of the supercooled state even in the equilibrium liquid state of ZnCl as well as the difference of activation energy at the two investigated length scales are related to the formation of a network structure on cooling.

Times Cited Count：36 Percentile：90.35(Multidisciplinary Sciences)In high-performance thermoelectric materials, there are two main low thermal conductivity mechanisms: the phonon anharmonic and phonon scattering resulting from the dynamic disorder, which have been successfully revealed by inelastic neutron scattering. Using neutron scattering and ab initio calculations, we report here a mechanism of static local structure distortion combined with phonon-anharmonic-induced ultralow lattice thermal conductivity in -MgAgSb. Since the transverse acoustic phonons are almost fully scattered by the intrinsic distorted rocksalt sublattice in this compound, the heat is mainly transported by the longitudinal acoustic phonons. The ultralow thermal conductivity in -MgAgSb is attributed to its atomic dynamics being altered by the structure distortion, which presents a possible microscopic route to enhance the performance of similar thermoelectric materials.

Research results obtained in JAEA Project Research "Mechanism of the function expression caused by disordered structure" will be focused in this presentation. The purpose of this project is to reveal mechanism of the function expression of functional materials where randomness involved in crystalline structure plays an key role, by applying the method and analyses frequently used in random material physics. We will report the results of liquid bismuth with complex structure which was investigated by time-space correlation function, and low thermal conductivity in layered thermoelectric material and next-generation solar cell which was investigated by neutron inelastic scattering measurements.
