被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We investigated the magnetic-field direction anisotropy of the unknown ordered phase in the tetragonal compound CeCoSi through bulk physical property measurements. The anisotropy in the field direction, previously identified in X-ray diffraction experiments, where a field-induced phase appears along [100] but not along [110], was confirmed in the bulk properties. Combining these experimental results with Landau theory, we infer that the field-induced phase in the [100] direction emerges under an infinitesimally small magnetic field.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)We proposed a novel superconducting detector called the current-biased kinetic inductance detector (CB-KID) for constructing a neutron transmission imager. We systematically studied the characteristics of the CB-KID to improve spatial resolution down to 10 
m in transmission imaging. By analyzing neutron transmission spectra from 1 meV to 500 keV, we identified copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) as major components in commercial nuts and screws. Additionally, we successfully mapped the distribution of the SmSn
compound using selective energy regions of pulsed neutrons and the CB-KID detector. It can reveal transmission spectra across a wide range of energies, from cold-neutron energies (meV) to higher neutron energies (up to 500 keV).

We optimized the design and operating conditions of our superconducting neutron detector to improve spatial resolution. We obtained the best spatial resolution of 10 m when a Gd Siemens star pattern was mounted at close contact with the detector in the cryostat. We compared the effect of a different sample-detector distance on a spatial resolution when the samples were placed either at cryogenic temperature or at room temperature. We found the appearance of clear Bragg dips by the measurements of natural FeS
single crystals and succeeded in mapping the distribution of differently-oriented crystals by choosing several Bragg dips of the FeS crystals to compose the transmission images.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We investigated the magnetic structure of the antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordered state (
34 K) in tetragonal UPtSi using polarized and unpolarized neutron diffraction. Previous neutron scattering studies reported that this system possesses a simple AFM structure with a propagation vector, Q= 0, and the ordered magnetic moments aligned along the c-axis. By contrast, our latest resonant X-ray scattering (RXS) experiments have revealed that the magnetic structure is modulated by the charge-density-wave (CDW) order, which emerges in one of the two Pt atomic layers in the unit cell below 320 K. The modulation is characterized by a transverse wave in the c-plane, with the propagation vector of the CDW order, q
= (0.42, 0, 0). In this study using neutron scattering, we observed that the superlattice reflections specified by q develop below , in addition to the magnetic reflections with Q= 0, thereby further confirming the presence of modulation in the AFM structure of this system. From detailed analyses, we revealed that the amplitude of the transverse-wave magnetic modulation is 0.72(2)
/U, which is quantitative information that can not be obtained through RXS experiments. This implies that the CDW drives the ordered magnetic moments to be tilted up to 20
in the AFM state. The observations strongly suggest that the magnetism of UPtSi is heavily influenced by the hybridization effects between the 
electrons of U and the 5d electrons of Pt.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Physics, Applied)We built a new cryostat to apply a current-biased kinetic inductance detector (CB-KID) for conducting neutron transmission imaging of room temperature samples under pulsed neutrons. A Wood's metal alloy of melting temperature 75.2C was placed at room temperature to inspect the measurement system at J-PARC. Since one of the four phases of Wood's metal is a fine Cd-rich needle phase (width 25 m and length 5 mm), it is suitable for observing fine mosaic structure selectively by neutron imaging. The spatial resolution of the CB-KID imager was estimated as 10 m by using a Gd Siemens-star pattern. The CB-KID system is useful to conduct transmission imaging for various materials rather easily at room temperature.

A delay-line current-biased kinetic inductance detector (CB-KID) is a two-dimensional superconducting sensor with a high temporal resolution and multi-hit capability. Here, it is demonstrated that a delay-line CB-KID with a 
B neutron conversion layer can be applied to high-spatial-resolution neutron transmission imaging and spectroscopy up to 100 eV. Dip structures are observed in the transmission spectra of YbSn single crystals, induced by Bragg diffraction and nuclear resonance absorption. The orientation mapping of YbSn crystals is successfully drawn based on the analysis of observed Bragg dip positions in the transmission spectra.

Research on the distribution and dynamics of photoassimilates in plants, especially those in fruits, is important for improving food production. Positron emission tomography (PET) and carbon-11 (C) isotope technique are valuable to obtain 3-D images of photoassimilates. For plant experiments, however, it is important to adjust a system to plant's growth environment. General PET devices, even small-animal PET devices, are not suitable for plant studies. This can be solved by using a small OpenPET prototype which is a compact PET device that has an open space in its field of view (FOV). In this work, we upgraded the OpenPET system for the PET study of fruits and successfully realized the 3-D imaging of a photoassimilate labeled with CO in a fruit of a strawberry plant.

We examined the precise pattern of a B-dot-array absorber and found the X-direction pitch (Px) = 250.7 um with a scatter of (Hx)= 5.4 um and the Y-direction pitch (Py)= 249.1 um with a scatter of (Hy)= 3.4 um while the B dot array was fully extended toward the X direction across the detector sensitive area. We consider that this demonstrates detection with good spatial homogeneity and conclude. The transmission-imaging system is suitable for use at pulsed neutron facilities. We also reported a clear transmission image of tiny screws and nuts, and ladybug (insect). We recognize that further efforts to improve the detection efficiency are necessary to make using the detector more practical.

We rebuilt completely a neutron image of a B dot array contain in the stainless-steel mesh. To improve the resolution of neutron images, the characteristics of a superconducting neutron detector have been studied carefully. In this study, we present the dependence of neutron signals in the temperature of detector. We found that when the temperature of a neutron detector is as close as the critical temperature of superconductivity, the intensity of signal increase as a function of temperature. We consider that the ratio of noise and signal is decrease which is very useful to improve the resolution of neutron images.
