被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：46.46(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)The cellular structure plays a key role in determining the mechanical properties of metal additive manufacturing (MAM) components. This study presents in situ neutron diffraction and dislocation density-based modeling for a CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) made via directed energy deposition (DED). A constitutive model based on the Kocks-Mecking-Estrin framework was used to represent the cellular structure. Parametric analysis showed lower dislocation accumulation and annihilation rates in the as-built sample (with cellular structure) than in the heat-treated one. These differences are linked to dislocation forest networks and local stacking fault energy variations. Dislocation density across cell interiors and walls was also compared with deformation-induced dislocation cells.

(at%) ferrous medium-entropy alloy (MEA). A simple thermomechanical process (cold rolling and 90 s annealing) produces ultrafine recrystallized grains, non-recrystallized grains with substructures, and intragranular nanoprecipitates. This structure, with high dislocation density and fine grains, yields a high strength of 
1.60 GPa but can risk premature fracture. To overcome this, Lders deformation, enabled by ultrafine grain boundaries and stress-induced martensitic transformation at pre-existing nucleation sites, is employed. Stable Lders band propagation delays strain hardening and enables large uniform ductility. As a result, a tensile strength of 1.84 GPa and uniform elongation of 20% are achieved, matching the best tensile properties among reported multi-principal element alloys.

被引用回数：7 パーセンタイル：91.77(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Face-centered cubic (FCC) equi-atomic multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) exhibit excellent mechanical properties from cryogenic to room temperatures. At room temperature, deformation is dominated by dislocation slip, while at cryogenic temperatures (CTs), reduced stacking fault energy enhances strain hardening with twinning. This study uses in-situ neutron diffraction to analyze the temperature-dependent deformation behavior of Al
(CoNiV)
, a dual-phase (FCC/BCC) medium-entropy alloy (MEA). At liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT), deformation twinning in the FCC matrix leads to additional strain hardening through the dynamic Hall-Petch effect, giving the appearance of improved strengthening at LNT. In contrast, BCC precipitates show dislocation slip at both 77 K and 298 K, with temperature-dependent lattice friction stress playing a significant role in strengthening. The study enhances understanding of deformation behaviors and provides insights for future alloy design.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：63.35(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We present a novel approach for investigating the spin structure of hadrons based on the two-point function in quantum field theory. In a rotating frame, we derive two independent expressions of the two-point function and identify their equivalence, which allows for a complete decomposition of the total spin of a composite system into the angular momenta of its constituent particles. Applying this approach to the proton, we analyze its spin structure in the massless quark limit. Our results indicate that the quark spin contribution accounts for approximately 27% of the total proton spin at a low-energy scale, significantly deviating from the prediction of the non-relativistic quark model.

被引用回数：8 パーセンタイル：91.77(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Metallic materials can exhibit low-temperature serrated deformation (LTSD) at cryogenic temperatures, potentially causing sudden failures. Understanding LTSD is thus crucial for ensuring material reliability in such environments. LTSD has been explained by two main mechanisms: (i) dislocation-based mechanical instability and (ii) thermomechanical instability, but each has limitations when considered alone. To address this, we propose a new LTSD mechanism, a thermally induced dislocation dynamics model, based on cryogenic experimental evidence. This model accounts for dislocation avalanches and localized heating, leading to hierarchical dislocation networks and transitions in deformation modes. A modified deformation-mechanism map for SS316L is also presented. Our findings highlight the rate-dependent nature of LTSD and negative strain-rate sensitivity, including the first observation of links between small stress fluctuations and large serrations.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Wettability of titanium (Ti) and surface-modified (Oxidized or Fluorinated) Ti with liquid sodium (Na) were investigated via experiments and theoretical calculations. From the experimental results, a sliding angle of Na droplet on oxidized Ti was smaller than that on untreated Ti, indicating the worsening of wettability by oxidation. In contrast, the sliding angle of Na droplet on fluoridated Ti was larger than that on untreated Ti, indicating an improvement in wettability by fluorination. Additionally, the cluster models for the interface between Na droplets and treated or untreated Ti were constructed for theoretical calculations of electronic states at the interface, covalent and ionic bonds at the interface were evaluated from the calculation results. The sliding angles obtained in the wettability tests and the strength of covalent bonding at the interface showed no correlation, but good correlation was observed between the sliding angles and ionic bonding at the interface. Thus, the wettability of surface-modified Ti with liquid Na can be theoretically understood based on the atomic interactions at the interface.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：53.65(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Two dimensional honeycomb ferromagnets host massless Dirac magnons which are a bosonic analogue of Dirac fermions in graphene. The Dirac magnons may become massive and topological when the time-reversal symmetry breaks and an energy gap opens up at the Dirac point, which was experimentally observed in Cr
-based van der Waals magnets. Here, we investigate the spin wave excitations in the 
magnetic oxide FeTiO with Fe
electrons (
). Using inelastic neutron scattering, we observe two magnon bands separated by a 1.2-meV gap at the Dirac points indicating that its Dirac magnons are massive. Using the linear spin-wave and density functional theory calculations, we find that the spin-orbit-coupled antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchanges can best account for the observed Dirac gap opening. The associated Berry curvature and Chern number (
) indicate that FeTiO hosts topological spin excitations via time-reversal symmetry breaking of Dirac magnons.

Neutron interferometry has played a distinctive role in fundamental science and characterization of materials. Moir neutron interferometers are candidate next-generation instruments: they offer microscopy-like magnification of the signal, enabling direct camera recording of interference patterns across the full neutron wavelength spectrum. Here we demonstrate the extension of phase-grating moir interferometry to two-dimensional geometries. Our measurements of phase topologies and gravitationally induced phase shifts are in good agreement with theory.

The iron (Fe) specimens selected as the substrate metal for this study were surface-treated using fluorine gas, and their wettability with liquid sodium (Na) was evaluated using the sliding angle. Additionally, the surface morphology and binding state were analyzed, and the applicability of wettability control with liquid sodium by fluorination was discussed using the analysis results. Fluorination formed a fluoride layer comprising FeF
and FeF
bonds on the iron surface. The composition of the fluoride layer varied, depending on the treatment conditions. The surface of the specimen that contains a lot of FeF bonds had a small sliding angle for the liquid sodium droplet and was harder to wet than the untreated specimen. In contrast, the surface of the specimen that contains a lot of FeF bonds had a large sliding angle for the liquid sodium droplet and was easier to wet than the untreated specimen. These results indicate that fluorination is an effective surface modification technique that can be applied to control the wettability of iron with liquid sodium.

被引用回数：9 パーセンタイル：73.51(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)This study investigates the mechanical properties of a friction-stir-welded (FSW) AA6061-T6 aluminum alloy at ultra-low temperature (ULT) of 20 K. In-situ neutron diffraction and orientation imaging microscopy were employed to compare the tensile deformation behavior of the base metal (BM) and heat-affected zone (HAZ) in the FSW aluminum plate. The results demonstrate that compared to room-temperature (RT), ULT induces a significant improvement in tensile strength and ductility in both the BM and HAZ. The enhanced mechanical properties in BM at ULT result from a more homogeneous deformation than occurs at RT. On the other hand, HAZ at ULT exhibits an even lower yield strength than at RT, but the strain hardening rate (SHR) is the most significant among the alloys, leading to a tensile strength of 346 MPa and the highest ductility of 46.8%. The lowest yield strength corresponds to the lowest-hardness zones in HAZ, caused by dissolved/coarsened precipitates during the FSW process.

Batch experiments were performed to evaluate the adsorption properties of the HONTA/SiO-P adsorbent for MA(III) and simulated fission products in HNOsolution. The uniform distribution of Eu(III) on the adsorbent was confirmed via particle induced X-ray emission analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that EuNO was the adsorbed species. This study provides a simplified process for the separation of MA(III) using a HONTA/SiO-P packed column.

-martensite improved the mechanical performance of CoCrNi alloys, and significant strain-induced martensite transformation of DED-SS316L led to superior strength and strain hardening. A magnitude in stress drop was governed by dislocation density, phase type, and lattice defects, irrespective of processing method. FCC {200} notably was influenced recovery behavior after stress drop, and the contribution of strain energy density by serration on tensile toughness was the greatest for HR-CoCrNi.

The performance of platinum-group metals adsorption and separation on prepared (HONTA + Crea)/SiO-P adsorbent was assessed by batch-adsorption and chromatographic separation studies. (HONTA + Crea)/SiO-P adsorbent showed high adsorption performance of Pd(II) owing to an affinity between Pd(II) and Crea extractant based on the Hard and Soft Acids and Bases theory. The chromatographic experiment showed that Pd(II) was recovered entirely from the feed solution using 0.2 M thiourea in 0.1 M HNO. Possibility of recovery of Zr(IV), Mo(VI), and Re(VII) was also observed using the (HONTA + Crea)/SiO-P adsorbent.

被引用回数：15 パーセンタイル：73.73(Construction & Building Technology)This study explores the influence of the interatomic structure of sodium aluminosilicate hydrate (N-A-S-H) with varying silica contents on the mechanical properties of metakaolin-based geopolymer. Geopolymer pastes comprising Si/Al ratios between 2.0 and 3.0 were synthesized. A larger number of Si-O-Si linkages compared to Si-O-Al linkages and a higher atomic number density were found in the geopolymers with higher silica contents, which enhanced the compressive strength of the geopolymer pastes up to the optimal Si/Al ratio of 2.5. The paste with a Si/Al = 2.5 exhibited a greater portion of Q
(1Al and 2Al) and denser morphology compared to the other geopolymer pastes. Furthermore, in-situ high-energy synchrotron X-ray scattering experiments were conducted to assess the elastic modulus of the aluminosilicate structure at a local atomic scale. The modulus value in real space decreases with increasing silica contents up to Si/Al = 2.5 and increases with the presence of excessive unreacted silica fume. The modulus value in reciprocal space for the axial and lateral directions both presented a positive value at the geopolymer comprising a Si/Al ratio higher than 2.5, indicating that the load-bearing property of N-A-S-H changed at higher Si/Al ratios. Moreover, the smallest difference between the strains along the axial and lateral directions was detected for the geopolymer with Si/Al = 2.5 in both the real and reciprocal space, owing to the most interconnected and flexible nanostructure, which led to the highest mechanical strength.

For the analyses of the reaction products and microstructure, synchrotron X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and high-resolution X-ray computed tomography were utilized. CS cured under carbonation environment pressurized by 0.1 MPa showed excellent mechanical properties owing to the highest degree of reaction and homogeneous generation of CaCO with low-Ca/Si calcium silicate hydrates, resulting in a dense matrix with refined pore structure. CS paste treated under other carbonation conditions underwent deteriorative microstructural phase transitions, including void evolution by decalcification of C-S-H and an inhomogeneous composition of crystalline phases, resulting in inferior properties.

被引用回数：52 パーセンタイル：91.64(Multidisciplinary Sciences)The triangular lattice antiferromagnet (TLAF) has been the standard paradigm of frustrated magnetism for several decades. The most common magnetic ordering in insulating TLAFs is the 120
structure. However, a new triple-
chiral ordering can emerge in metallic TLAFs, representing the short wavelength limit of magnetic skyrmion crystals. We report the metallic TLAF CoTaS as the first example of tetrahedral triple- magnetic ordering with the associated topological Hall effect (non-zero 
). We also present a theoretical framework that describes the emergence of this magnetic ground state, which is further supported by the electronic structure measured by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Additionally, our measurements of the inelastic neutron scattering cross section are consistent with the calculated dynamical structure factor of the tetrahedral triple- state.
