被引用回数：0Metakaolin-based geopolymers (MKGPs) are ceramic-like materials used for nuclear waste stabilization. Therefore, understanding the sorption of ions on MKGPs is crucial where the cation exchange is considered as the main mechanism, yet the studies based on pH are limited. Thus, this study evaluates the effect of pH on the sorption mechanism of Eu(III) onto Na- and K-MKGPs. Here, time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) combined with parallel factor analysis, TRLFS in mixed D
O/HO matrices, and extended X-ray absorption fine structure analysis. Eu(III) predominantly forms surface complexes with both MKGPs in the pH range of 4 
11 at the open air environment, where three distinct surface species were identified at different pH values. The Eu(III) sorption mechanisms of both MKGPs are similar, involving ternary edge-sharing bidentate or monodentate inner-sphere surface complexation of Eu(III) with MKGP and silicate ions released from the MKGP up to pH 8, followed by the precipitation of europium tri-hydroxide within the pores of MKGP. The insights gained from this study will enhance the knowledge on MKGP for pollutant immobilization, thereby mitigating the spread of contaminants in the environment and expanding the potential application areas.

被引用回数：0An ultrafine-grained 304 austenitic stainless steel exhibited pronounced serrated Luders deformation at 20 K, with stress and temperature oscillations reaching 200 MPa and 20 K. 
neutron diffraction and digital image correlation revealed discontinuous Luders band propagation and burst martensite formation. During deformation, austenite phase stress remained lower than at upper yielding, indicating elastic behavior. Notably, martensite phase stress stayed lower than austenite until fracture, likely due to stress relaxation from burst martensitic transformation at 20 K. The low martensite stress delayed brittle fracture until austenite plastically yielded during uniform deformation.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Incorporating solute hydrogen into Fe-Cr-Ni-based austenitic stainless steels enhances both strength and ductility, providing a promising solution to hydrogen embrittlement by causing solid-solution strengthening and assisting deformation twinning. However, its impacts on the relevant lattice defects evolution (
, dislocations, stacking faults, and twins) during deformation remains unclear. This study compared the tensile deformation behavior in an Fe-24Cr-19Ni (mass%) austenitic steel with 7600 atom ppm hydrogen-charged (H-charged) and without hydrogen-charged (non-charged) using neutron diffraction. Hydrogen effects on the lattice expansion, solid-solution strengthening, stacking fault probability, stacking fault energy, dislocation density, and strain/stress for twin evolution were quantitatively evaluated to link them with the macroscale mechanical properties. The H-charged sample showed improvements in yield stress, flow stress, and uniform elongation, consistent with earlier findings. However, solute hydrogen exhibited minimal influences on the evolution of dislocation and stacking fault. This fact contradicts the previous reports on hydrogen-enhanced dislocation and stacking fault evolutions, the latter of which can be responsible for the enhancement of twinning. The strain for twin evolution was smaller in the H-charged sample compared to the non-charged one. Nevertheless, when evaluated as the onset stress for twin evolution, there was minimal change between the two samples. These findings suggest that the increase in flow stress due to the solid-solution strengthening by hydrogen is a root cause of accelerated deformation twinning at a smaller strain, leading to an enhanced work-hardening rate and improved uniform elongation.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：0.00(Physics, Applied)Femtosecond laser-driven shock waves exhibit characteristic features that form distinctive microstructures not formed by plate impacts or nanosecond laser-driven shock waves. A key to understanding this phenomenon is understanding the lattice behavior inside the shock front, which is the boundary between the ambient and shock compression states. However, direct measurements of the lattice spacing inside a femtosecond laser-driven shock front have not yet been performed. Here, we report 
measurements of lattice spacing using X-ray free electron laser diffraction with a pulse width of 
10 fs during the shock rise in single-crystal copper irradiated directly in air with a femtosecond laser pulse on the order of 10
W/cm
at a pulse width of 101 fs. The lattice spacing of the femtosecond laser-irradiated single-crystal Cu (002) plane starts to compress 6.3 ps after femtosecond-laser irradiation. It takes 15.7 ps for the plane to reach peak compression, at which point the compressive elastic-strain is 24.3%. Therefore, the shock front was found to form at an elastic compressive strain rate of 1.55
10
/s in this shock-driving situation. It is suggested that the initiation of plasticity under such ultrafast deformation at the most elastic compression is based on both dislocation multiplication and dislocation generation mechanisms.

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.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：79.59(Nuclear Science & Technology)Widely present in Japan's deep subterranean formations, pre-Neogene sedimentary rocks offer an option for high-level radioactive waste (HLW) deep geological disposal due to their favorable properties. However, their barrier properties necessitate further investigation. This research examines the characteristics of pre-Neogene sedimentary rocks, focusing on two rock types: the melange type with a distinct block-in-matrix structure and the sandstone-dominant coherent type. Their ability and mechanism to sorb Cs and Eu are assessed, and the differences between the two types are compared. The influence of inorganic carbon in groundwater and the role of clay minerals, such as illite, in the sorption of these metal ions, are highlighted. This investigation lays the groundwork for future studies on migration behaviors of radionuclides, essential for ensuring the long-term safety of HLW geological disposal.

Hydrogen embrittlement has long been an obstacle to the development of safe infrastructure. However, in contrast to hydrogen's embrittling effect, recent research has revealed that the addition of hydrogen improves both the strength and uniform elongation of AISI Type 310S austenitic stainless steel. A detailed understanding of how hydrogen affects the deformation mechanism of this steel could pave the way for the development of more advanced materials with superior properties. In the present study, neutron diffraction experiments were conducted on Type 310S steel with and without hydrogen-charged to investigate the effect of hydrogen on the deformation mechanism. In addition to the effect of solid-solution strengthening by hydrogen, the q-value, a parameter representing the proportion of edge and screw dislocations in the accumulated dislocations, was quantitatively evaluated using CMWP analysis on neutron diffraction patterns. The comparison of q-values between the hydrogen-charged and non-charged samples reveals that hydrogen has minimal effect on dislocation character in Type 310S steel.

被引用回数：12 パーセンタイル：87.44(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Using a hybrid method of in situ neutron diffraction and digital image correlation, we found that ultrafine-grained 304 stainless steel exhibits Luders deformation after yielding, in which the deformation behavior changes from a cooperation mechanism involving dislocation slip and martensitic transformation to one primarily governed by martensitic transformation, as the temperature decreases from 295 K to 77 K. Such martensitic transformation-governed Luders deformation delays the activation of plastic deformation in both the austenite parent and martensite product, resulting in delayed strain hardening. This preserves the strain-hardening capability for the later stage of deformation, thereby maintaining a remarkable elongation of 29% while achieving a high tensile strength of 1.87 GPa at 77 K.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：51.28(Chemistry, Physical)This study performed batch sorption experiments using Eu and Sm as chemical analogs of trivalent actinides to evaluate their sorption behavior onto illite in the presence of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). The results were analyzed using a thermodynamic sorption model (TSM), which predicted that Eu/Sm forms ternary-surface complexes with carbonate ions. Time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) measurements were performed to gather information on the chemical forms of sorbed Eu on illite. Parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) of the TRLFS data indicated the presence of two Eu chemical species. The pH dependence of the chemical species was consistent with that of the surface species predicted by TSM. The dominant chemical species in the presence of carbonate was inferred to be coordinating carbonate ions based on the fluorescence lifetime, supporting the validity of the TSM.

Radioactive cesium released by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in March 2011 remains in the forest environment and is being transported to the ocean via residential areas by runoff into river systems. Most of the 
Cs in river water exists as suspended forms, being strongly fixed by micaceous clay minerals. If this fraction can change its form into dissolved forms, this results in additional input of bioavailable Cs. In this study, in-situ sampling of Cs at multiple rivers in Fukushima Prefecture was conducted using the DGT (diffusive gradient in thin film) devices to investigate the dynamics of radioactive cesium in river environments. At almost all sampling points, the DGT Cs concentrations exceeded dissolved Cs concentrations, revealing the existence of a flux from the suspended to the dissolved forms. This additional input was found to have higher Cs/ 
Cs ratios, compared those of Cs in the dissolved form. This study demonstrates that the bioavailability of Cs can be underestimated by assessing only the dissolved form due to Cs flux from the suspended particles likely caused by their dissolution.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Dissipative structures often appear as an unstable counterpart of ordered structures owing to fluctuations that do not form a homogeneous phase. Even a multiphase mixture may simultaneously undergo one chemical reaction near equilibrium and another one that is far from equilibrium. Here, we observed in real-time crystal seed formation and simultaneous nanocrystal aggregation proceeding from tetravalent cerium complexes to ceria nanoparticles in an acidic aqueous solution and investigated the resultant hierarchical nanoarchitecture. The formed particles exhibited two very different size ranges. The hierarchically assembled structures in solutions were ceria colloids, viz. primary core clusters of crystalline ceria and secondary clusters assembled through surface ions. Such self-assembly is widespread in multi-component complex fluids, paradoxically moderating hierarchical reactions. Stability and instability are not only critical but also complementary for co-optimization around the nearby free energy landscape prior to bifurcation.

Atomic-resolution image of radioactive Cs atoms are obtained when viewing along the [111] zone axis, a view supported by image simulations using the multi-slice method. The occurrence of pollucite indicates that locally enriched Cs reacted with siliceous substances during meltdowns, presumably through hydrothermal reactions. In case of predominant occurrence of pollucite in debris, incorporation in pollucite structure retards leaching of radioactive Cs. Still, the atomic-resolution imaging of radioactive Cs is an important advance for better understanding the fate of radioactive Cs inside and outside of damaged reactors during severe accidents like Fukushima Daiichi.
