For the understanding of the crystal structural effect on the electrical properties, the local disorder in BaSn $_{0.5}$ In $_{0.5}$ O $_{2.75}$ which is one of the excellent proton conductors for solid oxide fuel cells was estimated by using the Atomic Pair Distribution Function (PDF) analysis method with the neutron diffraction. The local structure is almost the same as the average structure which was estimated by the Rietveld analysis using the cubic crystal structure (space group, ) in the atomic distance range of 6. The PDF profile was fitted better using the tetragonal crystal structure with the space group of 4/ than those with in the range 6. Those results indicate the presence of the local disorder in the lattice. In this work, the relationship between the average and local structures of BaSn $_{0.5}$ In $_{0.5}$ O $_{2.75}$ will be discussed.

The neutron instruments suite, installed at the spallation neutron source of the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), is reviewed. MLF has 23 neutron beam ports and 21 instruments are in operation for user programs or are under commissioning. A unique and challenging instrumental suite in MLF has been realized via combination of a high-performance neutron source, optimized for neutron scattering, and unique instruments using cutting-edge technologies. All instruments are/will serve in world-leading investigations in a broad range of fields, from fundamental physics to industrial applications. In this review, overviews, characteristic features, and typical applications of the individual instruments are mentioned.

Neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction for LaCo $_{1-x}$ Rh $_{x}$ O $_{3}$ have been carried out in order to investigate the structural properties related with the spin state of Co $^{3+}$ ions. We have found that the values of the Co(Rh)-O bond lengths in the Co(Rh)O $_{6}$ octahedron of LaCo $_{0.8}$ Rh $_{0.2}$ O $_{3}$ are nearly identical at 10 K. The lattice volume for the Rh $^{3+}$ substituted samples decreases with the thermal expansion coefficient similar to that of LaCoO $_{3}$ from room temperature, and ceases to decrease around 70 K. These experimental results favor a mixed state consisting of the high-spin state and low-spin state Co $^{3+}$ ions, and suggest that the high-spin state Co $^{3+}$ ions are thermally excited in addition to those pinned by the substituted Rh $^{3+}$ ions.

The neutron scattering length density distributions of Xe deuterohydrate were analyzed by Rietveld and MEM analysis applied to neutron powder diffraction data to clarify the Xe behavior in the temperature range from 10 to 245 K. A spherical positive scattering length density attributed to the Xe atom was observed at the center of the small cage of the hydrate. On the other hand, an ellipsoid shaped scattering length density distribution at the center of the large cage was observed; the major axis of the ellipsoid scattering length density was directed toward the center of a hexagonal facet of the large cage. The distributions of the Xe atom in the both cages were almost the same at any temperature.

We have performed neutron powder diffraction of the superconducting FeSr $_{2}$ YCu $_{2}$ O $_{6+}$ $_{delta}$ and the nonsuperconducting FeSr $_{2}$ Y(Cu $_{0.95}$ Zn $_{0.05}$ ) $_{2}$ O $_{6+}$ $_{delta}$ samples at low temperature and room temperature to investigate the relation between the crystal structure ant the physical properties. Neutron diffraction study indicates that the magnetic order in this compound is not long-range order because we observed no extra reflection due to the magnetic superstructure. We have observed structural anomaly related to Cu in the superconducting sample around 30 K although we could not observe it in the nonsuperconducting sample. There is possibility of the change of the charge distribution around 30 K in the superconducting sample.

Crystal structures of carbon dioxide deuterohydrate were studied by neutron powder diffraction at temperatures from 10 to 200 K. Maps of scattering length density distribution were obtained using a maximum entropy method, which clarified the motion of CO $_{2}$ molecules in the hydrate. In small cages, the carbon atom of the CO $_{2}$ molecule is at the center of the cage, and the oxygen atoms of CO $_{2}$ revolve freely around the carbon atom. In large cages, the carbon atom also is at the center of the cage, but the oxygen atoms tend to revolve around the carbon atom along the plane parallel to the hexagonal facets of the cage.

We measured time-resolved neutron powder diffraction of ices doped with very small amounts of some catalysts using the wide-angle neutron diffractometer (WAND) at the High Flax Isotope Reactor (HFIR) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. We succeeded in making ferroelectric ice, which prepared at high pressures (0.2 and 0.4 GPa), in a 60 to 75 K temperature range over tens hours. Neutron diffraction experiments confirmed the existence of a large ferroelectric structure in the sample. Therefore, thick surface (about 500 Km) of ferroelectric ice may exist on cold icy bodies, such as, Pluto and Kuiper Belt Objects (KBO). It suggests that about 70% of Pluto body is ferroelectric ice. Future telescope or planetary probe will be able to detect the huge ferroelectric-ice mass. In this symposium we report recent results at the HFIR and our future plan using higher intensity neutron beam.

Temperature dependent neutron diffraction studies were done on the spinel oxide system MgCo $_{1-x}$ CrFe $_{2-x}$ O (, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0). Neutron diffraction data recorded in the temperature range 10,,810 K were analyzed in the Rietveld method. Ordered sublattice magnetic moments of the five compositions of the spinel series at various temperatures were deduced from the analysis. A decreasing ordered moment with increasing substitution () was found indicating a gradual weakening of ferrimagnetic order. Huge diffuse signals around the 1,1,1 Bragg diffraction peak were found in the neutron patterns of the composition ,=,1.0 below the Curie temperature manifesting a build-up of short-range magnetic spin clusters. The observed features suggest a canted ferrimagnetic structure in the composition range ,,0.75 and a semi-spin glass like transition at ,=,1.0.

Existence of ferroelectric ice in the universe

Whether ferroelectric ice, named ice XI, exists in a stable low-temperature phase attracts much interest. This question arose as a condensed-matter issue, and became of interest in astronomy (e.g., does ice XI exist on Pluto?) because astronomical observations identified the existence of crystalline ice in our solar system. From neutron diffraction experiments, we found the temperature conditions for the transformation of the largest fraction of ice into ice XI using the lowest level of impurity dopant. The finding of bulk crystal of ordered structure firmly supports that ice XI is stable. This suggests the existence of naturally occurring ice XI at a narrow temperature range (57-66 K) in our solar system.

Deuteron ordering in ice containing impurities; A Neutron diffraction study

Fukazawa, Hiroshi; Hoshikawa, Akinori; Yamauchi, Hiroki; Yamaguchi, Yasuo*; Igawa, Naoki; Ishii, Yoshinobu

We measured neutron diffraction of powdered samples of ice containing impurities (e.g., potassium deuteroxide, sodium deuteroxide) to analyze the formation of ice XI, a deuterium-ordered phase of ice, from ice Ih, a disordered phase. We found that the diffraction profiles changed with time for several days at 62-70 K, which are below the transition temperature $_{rm c}$ = 76 K. From the Rietveld analysis of the diffraction profiles, we determined the change of the structural parameters with the phase transition. The structural analysis provides direct evidence for the existence of deuteron-ordered arrangements in ice containing impurities below $_{rm c}$ . On the basis of the Rietveld analysis, we obtained the mass fraction () of ice XI as functions of time and temperature. We report a structural observation for the nucleation and growth of ice XI under various conditions (such as temperature variations and impurity effects), which leads to understand whether or not f reaches unity at an infinite annealing time.
