Nanometer-thick crystalline ice plates in rapidly-frozen glucose solution observed by spin-contrast-variation small-angle neutron scattering

Spin-contrast-variation (SCV) small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) enabled us to determine structure of nano-ice crystals that were generated in rapidly frozen sugar solution. In the frozen glucose solution, we found that the nano-ice crystals formed a planar structure with a radius larger than several tens of nanometers and a thickness of 2-3 nm, which was close to the critical nucleation size of ice crystals in supercooled water. This result suggests that the glucose molecules were preferentially bound to a specific face of nano-ice crystals, and then blocked the crystal growth perpendicular to that face.

The structure of nano-ice crystals in rapidly frozen glucose solution was elucidated by using spin-contrast-variation small-angle neutron scattering, which distinguishes the nano-ice crystal signal from the frozen amorphous solution signal by the polarization-dependent neutron scattering. The analysis revealed that the nano-ice crystals form a planar structure with a diameter exceeding tens of nanometers and a thickness of 1 nm, which is close to the critical nucleation size. This result suggests that the glucose molecules are preferentially bound to a specific face of nano-ice crystals, and then block the crystal growth perpendicular to that face.

Spin-contrast-variation neutron reflectivity obtains multiple reflectivity curves from a single sample and a single beam source. We used the strong point of the technique to reveal that, although methylated-perhydropolysilazane-derived silica layer has a higher porosity near the interface with acrylic urethane resin, the resin did not permeate the pore network.

We developed a spin-contrast-variation neutron powder diffractometry technique that extracts the structure factor of hydrogen atoms, namely, the contribution of hydrogen atoms to a crystal structure factor. Crystals of L-glutamic acid were dispersed in a dpolystyrene matrix containing 4-methacryloyloxy-2,2,6,6,-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO methacrylate) to polarize their proton spins dynamically. The intensities of the diffraction peaks of the sample changed according to the proton polarization, and the structure factor of the hydrogen atoms was extracted from the proton-polarization dependent intensities. This technique is expected to enable analyses of the structures of hydrogen-containing materials that are difficult to determine with conventional powder diffractometry.

We developed a technique of spin-contrast-variation neutron reflectometry (SCV-NR). Polarized-neutron reflectivity curves of film samples vary as a function of their proton-polarization P. The P-dependent reflectivity curves of a polystyrene film was precisely reproduced using a common set of structure parameters and the P-dependent neutron scattering length. The reflectivity curve of poly (styrene-block-isoprene) (PSPI) presented a shoulder attributed to holes with the depth corresponding to one period of periodic lamellae on the free surface only at a specific P. In this way, structural information about specific surfaces or interfaces can be obtained by controlling the P.

A nano-diamond is an attractive neutron reflection material below cold neutron energy. The total neutron cross section of a nano-diamond was derived from a neutron transmission measurement over the neutron energy range of 0.2 meV to 100 meV because total neutron cross section data were not available. The total cross section of a nano-diamond with particle size of approximately 5 nm increased with a decrease in neutron energy to 0.2 meV. It was approximately two orders of magnitude larger than that of graphite at 0.2 meV. The contribution of inelastic scattering to the total cross section was to be shown negligible small at neutron energies of 1.2, 1.5, 1.9, 2.6, and 5.9 meV in the inelastic neutron scattering measurement. Moreover, small-angle neutron scattering measurements of the nano-diamond showed a large scattering cross section in the forward direction for low neutron energies.

We have performed neutron powder diffraction experiments at JRR-3 using polycrystalline Ho$$_5$$Pd$$_2$$. The magnetic peaks with a propagation vector k = (0.18, 0.18, 0.18) are gradually developing below about 100 K. The peak width is significantly broader than an experimental resolution even temperature is 5 K. These results indicate that Ho$$_5$$Pd$$_2$$ is a short-range ordered antiferromagnet with a long wave length.

Antiferromagnetic Ho$$_5$$Pd$$_2$$($$T_{rm N} = 28$$K) with cubic structure accompanies very large magneto-calorimetric eefect (MCE) at 34K. We showed that this compound remains short range order with incommensurate modulation $$k=$$[0.18,0.18,0.18] developing at low temperatures. The short range correlation increases below 70K in Tb$$_5$$Pd$$_2$$($$T_g = 70$$K).

In recent years, due to advances in precision measurement technology in pulsed magnetic fields, a novel magnetic state was discovered in a strong magnetic field. We constructed a measurement environment that can comprehensively explore the reciprocal lattice space under magnetic fields up to 14 Tesla by combining the long-pulse magnetic field generated by the supercapacitor and pulsed neutrons at J-PARC. This equipment can generate a magnetic field that is sufficiently longer than the time width (about 10 milliseconds) of the multi-wavelength neutron pulse passing through the sample. This method was used to investigate the magnetic phase transition in the frustrated magnet CuFeO$$_{2}$$.

We developed a technique of spin-contrast-variation neutron reflectometry (SCV-NR). Polarized-neutron reflectivity curves of a styrene homopolymer film vary as a function of their proton-polarization, P$$_H$$, coherently with what expected when the films are homogeneously polarized. This result ensures that the SCV-NR curves are not deformed by inhomogeneous P$$_H$$ in the film, but determine the structures of surfaces and interfaces properly. Conventional unpolarized neutron reflectivity UNR and negatively-polarized SCV-NR curves of poly(styrene-block-isoprene) (PSPI) films are reproduced by the model that the film has a flat free surface, but positively-polarized SCV-NR curves are not. We found from the global fit that the holes with the depth corresponding to one period of periodic lamellae are produced on the free surface of the PSPI films, whose reflection is hidden by strong one from the PSPI-Si interface in the UNR and negatively-polarized SCV-NR curves.
