Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:9.69(Nuclear Science & Technology)We found out that there was a questionable iron DPA value just above 20 MeV neutron energy in neutronics analyses of A-FNS using FENDL-3.1d. Our detailed investigation on the iron data in FENDL-3.1d figured out that residual nucleus production yield data of Fe just above 20 MeV had a problem, which caused a sharp spike just above 20 MeV in the DPA cross section of Fe. Thus we modified the yield data of Fe and verified that the questionable DPA value disappeared using the modified data. We also examined DPA cross sections of other nuclei in FENDL-3.1d. It was found out that DPA cross sections of more than 70% of nuclei in FENDL-3.1d have similar problems as that of Fe.

We found out that the calculated neutron spectra with TENDL-2017 unnaturally increased near 30 MeV. We figured out that incorrect secondary neutron spectrum data in Fe, Fe and Fe at 30 MeV caused the increase of the neutron flux. Similar problems occurred in a lot of nuclei of TENDL-2017, TENDL-2015 and FENDL-3.1d from TENDL-2010 and TENDL-2011.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:52.33(Physics, Nuclear)Measurements of electrons from the decay of open-heavy-flavor mesons have shown that the yields are suppressed in Au+Au collisions compared to expectations from binary-scaled collisions. Here we extend these studies to two particle correlations where one particle is an electron from the decay of a heavy flavor meson and the other is a charged hadron from either the decay of the heavy meson or from jet fragmentation. These measurements provide more detailed information about the interaction between heavy quarks and the quark-gluon matter. We find the away-side-jet shape and yield to be modified in Au+Au collisions compared to collisions.

Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:84.82(Physics, Applied)To reveal the relationship between mechanical properties and microscopic structure of Zr-based amorphous metals, we performed positron annihilation measurements on specimens with different Zr contents. Although the positron lifetimes were nearly the same for all the specimens, the Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation spectra were significantly different for the specimens at and above the eutectic point. This indicates that both the structure and composition of free volumes depend on the Zr-content.

Measurement of fuel ion density ratio, /, is required for burning control on ITER. The measured / ratio must be fed back in real time. A neutron measurement system to measure / should be operable at high counting rate. It is estimated that the number of emitted DT neutrons is 200 times higher than that of DD neutrons under the condition of ITER standard operation. A neutron measurement system was developed using a DT/DD generator, where DT neutrons are dominant and DD neutrons are contaminated slightly in the neutron beam. The measurement instrument was a TOF spectrometer. Signals originating from each neutron must be distinguished in order to measure the fuel ratio. We developed a circuit system with discrimination windows to distinguish each signal pulse, and DT and DD neutrons were measured separately and simultaneously with this system. The experimental result indicates a possibility that this system is suitable for measurement of fuel ion density ratio on ITER.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:21.05(Chemistry, Physical)The room temperature adsorbed state of oxygen molecules on Si(110)-162 surface and the structural change after a mild annealing has been investigated by synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy. As a result, despite the very small dosage of oxygen, Si and Si components already appear in addition to Si. This is likely to be caused by a selective adsorption of O molecules into the vicinity of already oxidized sites. After annealing, we found that binding energy of Si and Si increase and approach to their corresponding peak positions of a thermally-grown oxide, and this increase indicates relaxation of the Si-O bond length and Si-O-Si bond angle of metastable oxygen atoms.

The growth process of thermal oxides on Si(110) surface and the development of their interfacial bonding structures have been investigated by using real-time synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy. As a result, it was clarified that the Si component in the Si 2p core-level spectra is always much higher than that of Si for 0-1 mono-layer (ML) oxides on Si(110) surface. Observations on the time-evolution of the O 1s core-level spectrum indicates that the autocatalytic-reaction model proposed for the Si(001) oxidation can be also applicable to the Si(110) oxidation.

This surface is also to be used in the next-generation three-dimensional devices. We conducted scanning-tunneling-microscopy (STM) observation on the initial oxidation of Si(110)-162 surface. The present result suggests less occurrence of etching under the oxidation condition. There is a possibility to form an abrupt oxide/Si interface on the Si(110) surface.

Times Cited Count:12 Percentile:44.00(Physics, Applied)Initial oxidation of Si(110) surface has been investigated by using real-time X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The time evolution of the O 1s spectrum shows occurrence of rapid oxidation just after the introduction of the oxygen molecules, which is evidenced by the considerable peak intensity corresponding to oxygen exposure of as low as 1.5L (1L=1.3310 Pa s). This initial oxide is dominated by a state with a relatively low binding energy, which is gradually replaced by a state with a relatively high binding energy with the increase of the oxygen exposure, resulting in the low-KE shift of the O 1s peak. Comparison with previously reported O 1s spectra from dry-oxidized Si(111) surface suggests oxidation at or around the adatoms of Si(110)-162 clean surface as a likely oxidation state for this low-binding-energy peak.

From its high hole mobility, as well as its inevitable usage as an active layer in multi-gated FETs, Si(110) surface is expected to play a crucial role in the next generation CMOS devices. We have investigated the initial oxidation of Si(110) surface by using SR-XPS and STM. Reflecting its atomistic structure of the 162 reconstruction, initial oxidation of Si(110) surface shows a unique behavior which is not observed on other surfaces like (111) and (001).

Initial thermal oxidation of Si(110) surface has been investigated by using real-time X-ray photoemission spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation. The Si(110) initial oxidation is characterized by presence of a rapid oxidation just after the introduction of gaseous oxygen molecules. Peak separation of the O1s photoemission spectra suggests the presence of at least two distinct oxidation sites on the surface, which may reflect the complicated surface structure of the Si(110)-162 reconstruction.

By using real-time photoemission spectroscopy, kinetics of initial oxidation of Si(110)-162 surface has been investigated and is compared with that of Si(100) surface. Dry oxidation of Si(110) shows rapid initial oxidation just after introduction of the oxygen, which is associated with an O1s state with a weaker binding energy. As the oxidation proceeds, another O1s state with a stronger binding energy develops. The rapid initial oxidation is related to oxidation at or around the Si(111)-like Si adatoms, which are reportedly present in the 162 reconstruction of the Si(110) surface.

Ultra-thin oxide film formation processes at Si(110) surface have been studied via real-time photoemission spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation. Oxygen uptake curves were measured using integrated intensity of O1s photoemission peak. Information on oxidation schemes was obtained on the basis of the temperature dependence of the oxygen uptake curves. At oxygen pressure of 1.010 Pa, Langmuir type uptake curve was observed at 870 K whereas a sigmoidal curve was observed at 920 K. We concluded from analogies of Si(001) oxidation that randum adsorption took place at 870 K and two-demensional oxide island formation occured at 920 K.

In nuclear designs of a new fusion neutron source A-FNS, we found out that neutron production cross sections and secondary neutron spectra were different among three files of many nuclei in the TENDL-2017 deuterium injection file. This problem will cause wrong results in nuclear analyses with the TENDL-2017 deuterium injection file.
