Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:29.86(Physics, Applied)To clarify the existence of cation vacancies in Ce-doped GdAl
Ga
O
(Ce:GAGG) scintillators, we performed gamma-ray-induced positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (GiPALS). GiPAL spectra of GAGG and Ce:GAGG comprised two exponential decay components, which were assigned to positron annihilation at bulk and defect states. By an analogy with Ce:Y
Al
O
, the defect-related component was attributed to Al/Ga-O divacancy complexes. This component was weaker for Ce, Mg:GAGG, which correlated with the suppression of shallow electron traps responsible for phosphorescence. Oxygen vacancies were charge compensators for Al/Ga vacancies. The lifetime of the defect-related component was significantly changed by Mg co-doping. This was understood by considering aggregates of Mg
ions at Al/Ga sites with oxygen vacancies, which resulted in the formation of vacancy clusters.

For general positron sources, radioisotopes such as Na are often used. However, there is a problem that positrons cannot probe the deep region of metal materials with a thickness of 1 mm or more. Gamma-ray induced positron annihilation lifetime measurement (GiPALS) is a method for generating positrons in bulk samples with a thickness of several centimeters and samples placed in vessels such as high temperature and/or pressure furnaces. The annihilation lifetime of positrons is about 200 ps for metal materials, so it is important to use gamma rays with a shorter pulse width for GiPALS in order to accurately measure the positron lifetime. We have succeeded in the proof-of-principle experiment for GiPALS of ultra-short pulse gamma rays with a pulse width of 2 ps, which was originally developed using 90
collision laser Compton scattering at UVSOR.

A nuclide, Bh, is the great-grand-daughter of
113 that is produced in the
Bi +
Zn reaction. The identification was based on a genetic link to the known daughter nucleus
Db by alpha-decays. The main purpose of this work is to provide further confirmation of the production and identification of the isotope
113. As a present result, a state in
Bh, which decays by an alpha emission with the energies ranging from 9.05 to 9.23 MeV, feeds a state in
Db, which decays by alpha emission and by SF with a previously known half-life. The result provided a further confirmation of the production and identification of the isotope of the 113th element,
113, studied by a research group at RIKEN.

Positron annihilation spectroscopy is the only way to investigate the properties of cation vacancies because they are negatively charged. We generated high-energy pulsed gamma rays by the vertical collision of an ultrashort pulse laser and electron beam. In this study, we investigated the vacancy-type defects present in the crystals of GAGG(GdAl
Ga
O
), GAGG: Ce and GAGG: Ce, Mg by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy using the high-energy gamma rays. The lifetime of the defect-related component was significantly changed by Mg co-doping. This was understood by considering aggregates of Mg

This fact corresponds well with the suppression of the phosphorescence component and is an important result showing that the Mg co-doping is effective in suppressing the shallow electron capture center.

We performed the experiment to synthesize an isotope of the element 113 produced by a Bi(
Zn,n)
113 reaction using a gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS) at RIKEN. Two decay chains were observed, and assigned to those originating from an isotope
113. Both chains were connected into the previously known decays of
Bh and
Db via previously unknown decays of
113,
Rg, and
Mt. Although the
Bh was known nuclide, a number of atoms reported so far was limited. In order to study more precise decay property of the
Bh, we performed the direct production of
Bh by the
Cm(
Na,5n)
Bh reaction. In this experiment, the
Bh was clearly identified from the correlation of the nuclide,
Db. The obtained decay properties of
Bh and
Db are consistent with those observed in the
113 chain, which provided further confirmation of the discovery of
113.
