Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:29.83(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)We have investigated the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of BaSrFeO (x0.2), a series of cubic perovskites showing a field-induced transition from helical antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism. The maximum magnetic entropy change (-S) at 50 kOe varies from 5.8 J kgK (x=0) to 4.9 J kgK (x=0.2), while the refrigerant capacity remains almost the same at 165 J kg. Interestingly, the temperature of -S decreases from 116 K to 77 K with increasing x, providing this series of rare-earth-free oxides with potential as a magnetic refrigerant for the liquefaction of nitrogen and natural gas.

The high-performance computer system Helios which is located at The Computational Simulation Centre (CSC) in The International Fusion Energy Research Centre (IFERC) started its operation in January 2012 under the Broader Approach (BA) agreement between Japan and the EU. The Helios system has been used for magnetised fusion related simulation studies in the EU and Japan and has kept high average usage rate. As a result, the Helios system has contributed to many research products in a wide range of research areas from core plasma physics to reactor material and reactor engineering. This project review gives a short catalogue of domestic simulation research projects. First, we outline the IFERC-CSC project. After that, shown are objectives of the research projects, numerical schemes used in simulation codes, obtained results and necessary computations in future.

Times Cited Count:14 Percentile:58(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Conditions without the increases in the thermal and particle transport with ECH have been experimentally investigated in positive magnetic shear (PS), weak magnetic shear (WS) and reversed magnetic shear (RS) plasmas with internal transport barriers (ITBs) on JT-60U. The ion heat diffusivity around an internal transport barrier in the ion temperature (-ITB) remains constant with ECH when a large negative toroidal rotation shear is formed before the ECH. The condition does not depend on the electron to ion temperature ratio (/) and ECH power. The electron heat diffusivity around a -ITB stays constant with ECH when the magnetic shear is negative around the Te-ITB region. Effective particle transport remains constant or reduces during ECH under the condition of negative magnetic shear.

Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:94.66We investigated the electronic structure of BaFeO by using HAXPES and XAS measurements and first principle studies. The experimental and theoretical results indicated that BaFeO is a negative charge transfer compound. We concluded that the on-site Coulomb energy and the strong hybridization between Fe-3d and O-2p orbitals play a very important role of emergence of negative charge transfer. And we found the new structure in the Fe-2p XPS spectrum and concluded this structure is originated from non-local screening.

Times Cited Count:58 Percentile:89.01(Physics, Applied)Negative thermal expansion (NTE) of BiNiFeO is investigated by dilatometric curves, synchrotron X-ray diffraction, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. All samples (x=0.05-0.15) shows large NTE with the coefficient of linear thermal expansion which induced by charge transfer between Bi and Ni in the controlled temperature range near room temperature. Compared with BiLnNiO (Ln: rare-earth elements), the thermal hysteresis that causes a problem for practical application is suppressed because random distribution of Fe in the Ni site changes the first order transition to second order-like transition.

Extension of the kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model is presented to include toroidal rotation shear effect for the first time. The sheared rotation is introduced through generalization of the guiding center Lagrangian, yielding two additional terms in a quadratic form of mode-particle resonance. Additionally, another new term is introduced by using the equilibrium distribution function with rotation effect. These three terms are overlooked in conventional models. The new model is applied to stability analysis of resistive wall modes (RWMs) successfully. Numerical results show that the rotation shear reduces RWM growth rates further, which is consistent with experimental results.

Times Cited Count:19 Percentile:61.88(Physics, Applied)We have investigated the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of a perovskite oxide, BaFeO, that shows ferromagnetism by the aid of a small external field of about 0.3 T below the Curie temperature T = 111 K. The magnetization is found to change almost reversibly in both field and temperature cycles. Hence, magnetic and thermal hysteretic losses are negligibly low during refrigeration, a property that is suitable for application. The reversible MCE is likely to arise from the absence of an orbital magnetic moment of Fe ions which are essentially in the FeL state (L: ligand hole). The magnetic entropy change and refrigerant capacity near the T are about 5.8 J kg K and about 172 J kg, respectively, both of which are comparable to those of ferromagnetic perovskite manganites. As BaFeO contains no rare metals and is stable against corrosion, the material can be regarded as a candidate refrigerant material.

Structure analyses based on powder neutron diffraction, synchrotron powder diffraction, and Fe Mssbauer spectroscopy measurements demonstrate that the new oxyfluoride perovskite has no anion deficiencies and adopts the tetragonal structure (space group 4/) with lattice constants = 3.87264(6) and = 21.3465(6) at room temperature. The fluoride ions preferentially occupy the terminal apical anion sites with oxide ions in a disordered manner, which results in square pyramidal coordination around iron.

Times Cited Count:34 Percentile:79.64(Physics, Multidisciplinary)X-ray anomalous diffraction, together with a band structure calculation, was employed to obtain a quantitative comprehension of the charge-ordering state in a single-crystalline CaFeO thin film. The experimental results show a characteristic energy dispersion of the near inhibited reflection at 150, implying Fe atoms split into two distinct states. The energy dispersion is in good agreement with the calculated spectrum based on LDA+U scheme. The calculation reveals an electronic configuration of the Fe 3d orbital follows a localization in the oxygen orbital surrounds one of the distinct Fe atoms.

Topotactic reaction of the n = 2 Ruddlesden-Popper phase SrFeO with the Teflon polymer yields a highly fluorinated phase SrFeOO (x 0.44). The crystal/magnetic structures and anion composition are determined by a combination of neutron diffraction and Fe Mssbauer spectroscopy experiments. Fluoride anions selectively occupy the terminal apical anion sites, leading to the square pyramidal coordination around the Fe metal center. The oxyfluoride material adopts a simple antiferromagnetic ordered structure with k = (1/2 1/2 0) below 390 K.

BaFeO is known to contain the rare valence state of iron, 4+. Although this system has been reported to be an antiferromagnet prepared in the conventional high pressure and high temperature method, the samples synthesized under low temperature oxidization was found to be ferromagnetic. BaFeO shows a Curie temperature of 100 K; however, more details of magnetic properties have not been reported. In this study we report the magnetocaloric effect and the electronic structure of BaFeO.

We have investigated the magnetocaloric effect of BaFeO and related materials. The substitutions at Ba and Fe sites was found to lead to a suppression of ground-state antiferromagnetic ordering. Hence, hysteretic losses are suppressed by the substitution, a property which is favorable to practical application. From EXAFS measurements using synchrotron radiation, BaFeO involves a local structural distortion around Fe, whereas such behavior is suppressed by the substitutions. This may be related to the suppression of antiferromagnetic state, whose details will be presented at the conference.

We give an invited talk on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of new ferromagnetic oxide BaFeO. This oxide has a cubic structure and shows the Curie temperature of 110 K due to the ordering of Fe spins. The MCE measurements showed the large change of magnetic entropy of 5.8JkgK at around the Curie temperature. This is the largest value among the materials without rare earth elements. No thermal and field hysteresis was found, a property which is suitable for application, owing to small energy losses. This is attributed to the actual state of Fe ion of Fe, having no orbital magnetic moment. We will briefly discuss the properties of Fe-site-substituted materials.
