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, 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 75.2
C 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.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：50.03(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Recent progress in high-power pulsed neutron sources has stimulated the development of the Bragg dip and Bragg edge analysis methods using a two-dimensional neutron detector with high temporal resolution to resolve the neutron energy by the time-of-flight method. 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.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：27.27(Multidisciplinary Sciences)The role of spin-orbit interaction has been recently reconsidered in high- cuprates, stimulated by the recent experimental observations of spin-polarized electronic states. However, due to the complexity of the spin texture reported, the origin of the spin polarization in high- cuprates remains unclear. Here, we present the spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data on the facing momentum points that are symmetric with respect to the 
point, to ensure the intrinsic spin nature related to the initial state. We consistently found the very weak spin polarization only along the nodal direction, with no indication of spin-splitting of the band. Our findings thus call for a revision of the simple application of the spin-orbit interaction, which has been treated within the standard framework of the Rashba interaction in high- cuprates.

被引用回数：10 パーセンタイル：63.76(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Hybridization of Bogoliubov quasiparticles (BQPs) between the CuO layers in the triple-layer cuprate high-temperature superconductor BiSrCaCuO is studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). In the superconducting state, an anti-crossing gap opens between the outer- and inner-BQP bands, which we attribute primarily to interlayer single-particle hopping with possible contributions from interlayer Cooper pairing. We find that the 
-wave superconducting gap of both BQP bands smoothly develops with momentum without abrupt jump in contrast to a previous ARPES study. Hybridization between the BQPs also gradually increases in going from the off-nodal to the anti-nodal region, which is explained by the momentum-dependence of the interlayer single-particle hopping. As possible mechanisms for the enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature, the hybridization between the BQPs, as well as the combination of phonon modes of the triple CuO layers and spin fluctuations are discussed.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：14.53(Instruments & Instrumentation)We found that the sizes of the Gd islands determined from the transmission image correlated strongly with those determined from the SEM image. We demonstrated the CB-KID could be used to identify (1) tiny voids in a thermally sprayed continuous GdO film in and (2) various mosaic morphologies and different eutectic microstructures in Wood's metal samples. The fact that the CB-KID system could be used to identify features of samples with a wide distribution of sizes and thicknesses is promising for real application of the device for imaging samples of interest to material scientists. Operating the CB-KID at higher temperatures appreciably improved the efficiency for simultaneously identifying the X and Y positions of hotspots. We also compared the detection efficiency with the PHITS simulations. We now plan to improve the detection efficiency by increasing the thickness of the B neutron conversion layer

被引用回数：4 パーセンタイル：26.17(Physics, Applied)We demonstrated that a four-readout superconducting neutron imaging system shows good spatial heterogeneity and linearity using the delay-line method. 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.

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.

Our CB-KID is a meander line made of a 40-nm-thick Nb thin film with 1-m line width, which is covered with a 150-nm-thick B conversion layer. The detector works at a temperature below 4 K. The evaluated detection efficiency of the CB-KID in this experiment is 0.23% at the neutron energy of 25.4 meV. The time-dependent flux spectra of pulsed neutrons thus obtained are in good agreement with the results obtained by the Monte Carlo simulations.

配管への乱流励振力を評価するため、レイノルズ応力モデルを用いてCFDシミュレーションを実施した。CFDシミュレーションで計算された乱流エネルギーは、JSFRのホットレグ配管を模擬した1/3スケール水試験で得られた圧力変動分布と比較された。その結果、解析で得られた壁面近傍の乱流エネルギー分布と試験で得られた圧力変動分布がよく一致することが示された。また、試験で得られた圧力変動の大きさは、解析結果の乱流エネルギーにある係数を乗じることにより概算できた。振動解析では、圧力変動PSDは計測された正規化PSDに係数を乗じることにより導き出された。本研究により、乱流励振力の相関長と上記の手順で導き出されたPSDに基づいた振動解析手法を提案した。振動応答の解析結果は流力振動試験結果とよく一致することが示されたことから、本研究では開発された評価手法が妥当であると言える。
