Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:50.87(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The temperature and magnetic field dependences of Yb valence were observed in the heavy fermion compoundYbRhSi by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The measurements revealed that the Yb valence decreases with decreasing temperature in the range from 200 to 2 K and increases with increasing magnetic field in the range from 0 to 33 T without showing an abrupt change in the Yb valence. The Yb valence is in the range from 2.92 to 2.96 depending on temperature and magnetic field. With respect to the valence being 2.92 at 0 T and 2.93 at 33 T in 2 K, YbRhSi is a valence fluctuation compound and does not reach the integer trivalent state at high magnetic field. These results endorse the conventional knowledge that the valence of Yb is very close to the integer value of 3+, decreases with decreasing temperature, and becomes closer to 3+ with increasing magnetic field.

Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:56.13(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The valence state of Yb ions in - and -YbAlB has been investigated by X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy at temperatures from 2 to 280 K. It is found that the valence gradually increases with increasing temperature toward 3+ and that the characteristic temperature of the valence fluctuations is about 290 K. We also observe a small increase in the Yb valence ( 0.002) in -YbAlB by a magnetic field of 32 T at 40 K.

Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:57.68(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The X-ray absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra at the Yb L edge were measured in the mixed-valent heavy fermion compound YbAgCu at high magnetic fields and low temperatures. The magnetic-field-temperature (H-T) phase boundary determined by the valence state is in very good agreement with that determined by the magnetization. It is clearly found that the metamagnetism of this compound is due to the field induced valence transition. A distinctive positive peak of the XMCD spectra appears in the vicinity of the white line of the absorption due to Yb state, while no feature is observed in the XMCD spectra corresponding to the Yb state. A small negative XMCD peak was observed at a lower energy and was attributed to the quadrupole trasition from theoretical calcuration, which explains its peculicar magnetic field dependence.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:38.45(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The valence state of Ce in a typical heavy fermion compound CeRuSi has been investigated by synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy at 1.8 K in high magnetic fields of up to 40T. The valence was slightly larger than for the pure trivalent state, as expected in heavy fermion compounds, and it decreased toward the trivalent state as the magnetic field was increased. The field-induced valence reduction indicates that the itinerant character of the 4 electrons in CeRuSi was suppressed by a strong magnetic field. The suppression was gradual and showed a characteristic magnetic field dependence, which reflects the metamagnetism around 8T.

Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:57.68(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The valence change of Yb ion in YbAgCu was measured by means of X-ray absorption spectroscopy under high magnetic fields up to 35T. The valence state of Yb in YbAgCu at 4.8K significantly increases at the metamagnetic transition. The saturation value of at 55T is evaluated as 2.97 using the relation at 35T. This value is in good agreement with for the related compound YbInCu at high temperatures and the Yb valence in the localized high-field phase. We conclude that the metamagnetic transition in YbAgCu arises from the valence transition, as theoretically predicted.

The maintenance evaluation for research reactors has been obligated in Japan from 2004 as for power reactors. JAEA (Japan Atomic Energy Agency) has started to evaluate the maintenance for own research reactors on 2004. In this paper, we report the present status of the maintenance for JRR-3 (Japanese Research Reactor No.3), as well as the linear evaluation methods used. It is found that a series of preventing maintenance task on equipment and building of the reactor is properly performed.
