Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：16.32(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.

Times Cited Count：9 Percentile：51.11(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：84.21(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.

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：43.16(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.

We have investigated that initial oxidation processes of Si(110) surfaces at room temperature and thermal stability of the oxide layer via synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy (SR-PES) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We found in the SR-PES experiments that metastable oxygen-condensed local structures were formed in the early stage of Si(110) oxidation at room temperature. After thermal annealing of 15 min at 573 K, highly-oxidized components of Si2p spectrum, Si and Si, were enhanced whereas Si was decreased. This is due to structural relaxation of the strained metastable oxidation structures on the surface and following change to stable highly-oxidized structures. Furthermore, the structural change from the metastable structure in the surface oxidized at room temperature to the stable cluster structure was directly observed via STM.

Ultra-thin oxide layer formation processes at Si(110) surface has been studied by using real-time photoemission spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation. Distribution of Si suboxides in the one mono layer oxide has been analyzed quantitatively and Si-O bonding configurations have been considered. Analyses for Si2p photoemission spectra, which were observed in the one mono layer oxide formed at 873 K and O pressure of 1.010
Pa on the Si(110) surface, resulted in avandance of an Si
suboxide component whereas an Si
component was dominant in the oxidation of Si(001) surface. The Si(110) surface consists of dense A bonds, which combine Si atoms in the same layer, and dilute B bonds, which combine Si atoms in the neibouring layers. Remaning of a part of the A bonds, which is easy to be distorted, as non-oxidized parts causes the dominant Si component formation.
