We extend the previously published model that distinguishes between the diffusive motion of diamagnetic muons and the dynamics of ions around the muon in matter, and propose a generalized model for 
(Mu
s, bound states of a muon and an unpaired electron) observed in non-metallic host materials. The new model distinguishes among the independent motion of unpaired electron associated with Mu, the self-diffusive motion of Mu as single atomic entity, and that of the ions surrounding Mu, where the muon spin relaxation is induced by dynamical fluctuations of the hyperfine (HF) field exerted from the unpaired electron (e.g., due to spin/charge exchange reaction) and/or that of the nuclear hyperfine (NHF) interactions between the unpaired electron and the surrounding ions. We have applied this model to the muonated radicals (Mus in a polaron state) in conducting polymers, and examined the validity of the interpretations claimed in the earlier literature that the spin relaxation is induced by quasi-one dimensional jump motion of the unpaired electron. The result suggests that experimental support for such a claim is still inadequate and needs to be reexamined, including the possibility of other origins for the fluctuations. It is expected that our model will prove a useful guide for 
SR studies of various local dynamics involving paramagnetic muon states.

We study the magnetic properties of the metallic kagome system (FeCo)Sn by a combination of muon spin relaxation (SR), magnetic susceptibility, and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements in single crystal specimens with Co concentrations 
= 0, 0.11, 0.8. In the undoped antiferromagnetic compound FeSn, we find possible signatures for a previously unidentified phase that sets in at 
~K, well beneath the Neel temperature 
~K as indicated by a peak in the relaxation rate 1/
observed in zero field (ZF) and longitudinal field (LF) SR measurements, with a corresponding anomaly in the ac and dc susceptibility, and an increase in the static width 1/
in ZF-SR measurements. No signatures of spatial symmetry breaking are found in STM down to 7~K. Related to the location and motion of muons in FeSn, we confirmed a previous report that about 40% of the implanted muons reside at a field-cancelling high symmetry site at 
~K, while an onset of thermal hopping changes the site occupancy at higher temperatures. In Fe
Co
Sn, where disorder eliminated the field-cancellation effect, all the implanted muons exhibit precession and/or relaxation in the ordered state. In Fe
Co
Sn, we find canonical spin glass behavior with freezing temperature 
~K; the ZF and LF-SR time spectra exhibit results similar to those observed in dilute alloy spin glasses CuMn and AuFe, with a critical behavior of 
at 
and 
as 
. The absence of spin dynamics at low temperatures makes a clear contrast to the spin dynamics observed by SR in many geometrically frustrated spin systems on insulating kagome, pyrochlore, and triangular lattices. The spin glass behavior of CoSn doped with dilute Fe moments is shown to originate primarily from the randomness of doped Fe moments rather than due to geometrical frustration of the underlying lattice.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Chiral superconductivity exhibits the formation of novel electron pairs that breaks the time-reversal symmetry and has been actively studied in various quantum materials in recent years. However, despite its potential to provide definitive information, effects of disorder in the crystal structure on the chiral superconductivity has not yet been clarified, and therefore the investigation using a solid-solution system is desirable. We report muon-spin-relaxation (SR) results of layered pnictide BaPtAsSb with a honeycomb network composed of Pt and (As, Sb). We observed an increase of the zero-field SR rate in the superconducting (SC) state at the Sb end of

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：0.00(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Twistronics, a novel engineering approach involving the alignment of van der Waals (vdW) integrated two-dimensional materials at specific angles, has recently attracted significant attention. Novel nontrivial phenomena have been demonstrated in twisted vdW junctions (the so-called magic angle), such as unconventional superconductivity, topological phases, and magnetism. However, there have been only few reports on integrated vdW layers with large twist angles 
, such as twisted interfacial Josephson junctions using high-temperature superconductors. Herein, vdW homojunctions of the thin-magnetic flakes, Fe
GeTe
(FGT), with large ranging from 0 to 90 deg, without inserting any tunnel barriers are assembled. Nevertheless, these vdW homojunctions exhibit tunnel-magnetoresistance (TMR) like behavior (pseudo-TMR (PTMR) effect) with the ratios highly sensitive to the values, revealing that the vdW gap at the junction interface between the twisted FGT layers behaves like a tunnel barrier and the serves a control parameter for PTMR by drastically varying magnitudes of the lattice-mismatch and the subsequent appearance of antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin alignment. First-principles calculations considering vacuum gaps indicate strong dependence of TMR on the driven by the sixfold screw rotational symmetry of bulk FGT. The present homojunctions hold promise as a platform for novel AFM spin-dependent phenomena and spintronic applications.

. The isomer shifts obtained demonstrate that the Sm valence states in these compounds are intermediate. Since the difference of the isomer shifts in 22.502 keV Sm Mssbauer effect between Sm
and Sm
state is comparable to the 2nd order Doppler shift, consideration of the 2nd order Doppler shift is required to precisely discuss Sm valence state through the shifts of the Mssbauer spectra. In addition, the plots of the isomer shifts obtained by the Mssbauer spectroscopy against the Sm valence states estimated from Sm L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy exhibit a linear correlation except for that in SmOs
Sb. This implies that the origin of the intermediate valence state in SmOsSb differs from that in SmAl ( = Ti, V and Cr).

Sm SR-based Mssbauer and muon spin relaxation (SR) spectroscopies have been applied to SmRuGe. The temperature dependence of the Sm SR-based Mssbauer spectra in the paramagnetic state implies the presence of dynamical nuclear Zeeman and/or quadrupole interactions. The time differential SR spectra also exhibit a marked temperature dependence in the paramagnetic state, indicating the presence of magnetic fluctuation in SmRuGe at least. These results in the present work infer that the dynamical hyperfine interactions observed using the mutually complementary spectroscopic methods are connected with the mechanism of the heavy fermion behavior in SmRuGe.

We report on muon spin relaxation (SR) measurements in a mixed perovskite compound, (LaAlO)
(SrAlTaO) with (LSAT), which is widely used as a single-crystalline substrate for thin film deposition. In zero applied field (ZF), muon depolarization due to the distribution of nuclear dipole fields was observed in the temperature range from 4 K to 270 K. Interestingly, SR time spectra in ZF maintained a Gaussian-like feature over the entire range, while the depolarization rate exhibited a monotonic decrease with increasing temperature. This behavior may be attributed to the thermally activated diffusion of muons between a few adjacent sites within a confined space of the angstrom scale, where the motionally averaged local field that each muon experiences can remain non-zero and result in maintaining the Gaussian-like line shape. The spatial distribution of electrostatic potential at lattice interstices evaluated via density functional theory calculations suggests that such a restriction of muon diffusion paths can be caused by the random distribution of cations with different nominal valences in the mixed perovskite lattice.

More importantly, we clearly delineate the region in the phase diagram where type-I and type-II superconductivities coexist.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：35.94(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)Atom-vacancy-defects present in various materials yield numerous interesting physical phenomena, even obstructing high performance in some cases. On the other hand, their valuable applications to novel devices, such as nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond for quantum bits, have gathered significant attention. In particular, these tendencies become more substantial in two-dimensional (2D) (atomically) thin van der Waals layers. However, correlations with various kinds of atom defects are still under exploration. Herein, we find the stochastic behaviors of large hysteresis loops with strong photoresponse in the static electrical properties in few-atom layer semiconductors, molybdenum disulfide (MoS). The temperature dependence and transmission electron microscopy reveal that they arise from pairs of two neighboring in-plane S-vacancy defects, which predominantly present only around the interface at the MoS flake/substrate, with activation energies similar to 0.35 eV. The low-frequency (
) (LF) noise measurements clarify a high f shift in the two 1/ 2-dependent regimes, implying stochastic behaviors of electric charges through the S-vacancy pairs with high-speed charge(spin) transitions across low kinetic energy barriers between narrow discrete states. The shallow energy sates are formed from the highly uniform S-vacancy pairs interacting with Mo atoms, which act like quantum dots. The observed stochastic operation holds promise for various application, particularly for probabilistic neuromorphic computation in artificial intelligence.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：40.97(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)The growth of two-dimensional van der Waals magnetic materials presents attractive opportunities for exploring new physical phenomena and valuable applications. Among these materials, FeGeTe (FGT) exhibits a variety of remarkable properties and has garnered significant attention. Herein, we have for the first time created a nanomesh structure-a honeycomb-like array of hexagonal nanopores-with the zigzag pore-edge atomic structure on thin FGT flakes with and without oxidation of the pore edges. It is revealed that the magnitude of ferromagnetism (FM) significantly increases in both samples compared with bulk flakes without nanomeshes. Critical temperature annealing results in the formation of zigzag pore edges and interpore zigzag-edge nanoribbons. We unveil that the non-oxide (O) termination of the Fe dangling bonds on these zigzag edges enhances FM behavior, while O-termination suppresses this FM by introducing antiferromagnetic behavior through edge O-Fe coupling. FGT nanomeshes hold promise for the creation of strong FM and their effective application in magnetic and spintronic systems.

This paper describes a measuring unit to realize the synchronous collection of air dose rate and measurement position for efficient dosimetry survey and data logging in a working space. The developed prototype comprises a three-dimensional light detection and ranging-based mapping part and a dosimetry part, which are integrated into a single measurement unit through an embedded computer that installs a ROS (Robot Operating System) framework. The unit can function as a standalone system with embedded batteries. Since it is portable, on-line data gathering in the workspace can be realized, thereby maintaining consistency between the air dose rate and the measurement position. In this paper, we describe the prototype system configuration and the experimental results obtained in the mockup test space and nuclear facility to discuss its performance.

This method is based on the lifetime measurement of muons in a material and performed by measuring muon-decay electrons and identifying elements using the atomic number based on muon lifetimes. Muon irradiation on pure iron and two steel samples with known carbon contents was conducted to prepare a calibration curve for the quantitative analysis. We also performed a muon lifetime measurement for a Japanese sword and successfully determined its carbon content as 0.51 wt% using the calibration curve, without sample destruction.
