被引用回数：0We study the magnetic properties of the metallic kagome system (FeCo)Sn by a combination of muon spin relaxation (SR), magnetic susceptibility, and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements in single crystal specimens with Co concentrations 
= 0, 0.11, 0.8. In the undoped antiferromagnetic compound FeSn, we find possible signatures for a previously unidentified phase that sets in at 
~K, well beneath the Neel temperature 
~K as indicated by a peak in the relaxation rate 1/
observed in zero field (ZF) and longitudinal field (LF) SR measurements, with a corresponding anomaly in the ac and dc susceptibility, and an increase in the static width 1/
in ZF-SR measurements. No signatures of spatial symmetry breaking are found in STM down to 7~K. Related to the location and motion of muons in FeSn, we confirmed a previous report that about 40% of the implanted muons reside at a field-cancelling high symmetry site at 
~K, while an onset of thermal hopping changes the site occupancy at higher temperatures. In Fe
Co
Sn, where disorder eliminated the field-cancellation effect, all the implanted muons exhibit precession and/or relaxation in the ordered state. In Fe
Co
Sn, we find canonical spin glass behavior with freezing temperature 
~K; the ZF and LF-SR time spectra exhibit results similar to those observed in dilute alloy spin glasses CuMn and AuFe, with a critical behavior of 
at 
and 
as 
. The absence of spin dynamics at low temperatures makes a clear contrast to the spin dynamics observed by SR in many geometrically frustrated spin systems on insulating kagome, pyrochlore, and triangular lattices. The spin glass behavior of CoSn doped with dilute Fe moments is shown to originate primarily from the randomness of doped Fe moments rather than due to geometrical frustration of the underlying lattice.

Samples of stainless steel (SS) - boron carbide (BC) alloys were levitated in the Electrostatic Levitation Furnace onboard the International Space Station (ISS-ELF) to measure the thermophysical properties of their melts. Melting of samples of two different compositions (SS-12.3, and 28 mass% BC) were attempted in the furnace. Even though only one sample (SS-12.3 mass% BC) could be melted, its density was successfully obtained.

To accurately predict the remaining lifetime of surface-strengthened railway axles, a damage tolerance method considering three-dimensional (3D) residual stresses was proposed. By taking the induction-hardened carbon steel S38C axle as an example, two-dimensional (2D) distribution characterization of residual strain and 3D residual stress measurement were performed through comprehensive application of the neutron Bragg-edge transmission imaging and angle-dispersive neutron diffraction experiments. A numerical method was employed to implant the 3D residual stress into the axle model, and the remaining lifetime of the full-scale axle was studied by coupling the measured load spectrum, press-fit loads, and residual stresses. Experimental results shows that, both axial and hoop directions present a compressive residual strain gradient layer of about 3 mm, with a maximum compressive residual strain of up to -4500 
in the surface layer, yet a maximum tensile strain of up to 1000 in the core. The maximum axial and hoop compressive stresses of the axle are about -500 MPa and -303 MPa respectively, while radial stresses overall fluctuate in the zero mean stress range. At depths beyond 4.5 mm from the surface layer, all three components are tensile stresses. The axle surface layer is subjected to compressive residual stresses, and crack propagation does not occur if the crack depth is less than 4.5 mm. Nevertheless, cracks propagate accelerates when the crack depth is greater than 4.5 mm. Different crack propagation depth thresholds lead to a larger calculated remaining lifetime for the residual stress-free condition than for the case where 3D residual stresses are taken into account. However, the axle remaining service mileage of the axle of 227000 Km under the most conservative conditions exceeds 3.5 non-destructive inspection (NDI) cycles, with a large safety margin. The experimental results can provide a scientific reference for the development and optimization of NDI cycles for surface-strengthened railway axles.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Nuclear Science & Technology)Silica glass has been used as a base and host material in vitrified radioactive waste and lithium glass scintillator for neutron detection because of its superb transparency, high heat resistance, and excellent chemical inertness. Therefore, an accurate total cross section of the silica glass is important to evaluate the criticality safety for the vitrified wastes and to understand the neutron response for lithium glass scintillators accurately. In the present study, to provide the accurate total cross section in the thermal and epithermal energy range, the neutron transmission measurements were carried out by a pulsed neutron beam with the time-of-flight method at the Kyoto University Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science - Linear Accelerator. We obtained the neutron total cross section of the silica glass in the energy region from 0.002 eV to 25 eV. The obtained results were compared and discussed with the previous results and the evaluated data.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：0.00(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)Face-centered cubic (fcc) medium-/high-entropy alloys (M/HEAs) typically enhance strength and ductility at cryogenic temperatures via stacking faults, twinning, or martensitic transformation. However, in-situ neutron diffraction on VCoNi MEA at 15 K reveals that strain hardening is driven solely by rapid dislocation accumulation, without these mechanisms. This results in increased yield strength, strain hardening, and fracture strain. The behavior, explained by the Orowan equation, challenges conventional views on cryogenic strengthening in fcc M/HEAs and highlights the role of dislocation-mediated plasticity at low temperatures.

, which exhibits an extremely low value of 
0.18 Wm
K. On the basis of first-principles calculations and inelastic neutron scattering measurements, we find that there are lots of low-lying optical phonon modes at 3.1 meV hosting the avoided-crossing behavior with acoustic phonons. These strongly localized modes are accompanied by weakly bound rattling Ag atoms with thermally induced large amplitudes of vibrations. Using the two-channel model, we demonstrate that coupling of the particle-like phonon modes and the heat-carrying wave-like phonons is essential for understanding the low , which is heavily deviated from the 
temperature dependence of the standard Peierls theory. In addition, our analysis indicates that the soft structural framework with liquid-like motions of the fluctuating Ag atoms is the underlying cause that leads to the suppression of the heat conduction in CsAgTe. These factors synergistically account for the ultralow value. Our results demonstrate that the liquid-like heat transfer could indeed exist in a well-ordered crystal.

PIRTs have been developed and are reported for the 3 sequence event families of SFR severe accidents. For ULOF, there are 13 phenomena ranked with high importance and large uncertainty. Two PIRTs for primary phase of UTOP have been developed based on those of ULOF. Two phenomena with high importance and large uncertainty both in FRN and JPN ranking are highlighted. For USAF PIRT, they are eight phenomena ranked important and uncertain by both sides related to heat transfer coefficient, chunk relocation in the molten pool of the initiating SA and to thermomechanical loading on the hexcan of the initiating SA. These phenomena are recognized to deserve priority study. The event progression regarding FP transport focusing on phenomena of ULOF is investigated. Seven phenomenological phases were identified along with the accident sequences and of their events progression. The summary of the elementary phenomena on this PIRT, and the vote for the table are foreseen in the future study.

Various non-destructive assay techniques are being used to verify different nuclear material. However, one of the difficulties of current NDA is the measurement of highly radioactive materials. Since 2015, the JAEA has been working on the development of various active non-destructive assay techniques to address some of the current challenges in nuclear safeguards. Among the various technologies proposed, the Neutron Resonance Analysis system combines signatures from NRTA, NRCA and the newly proposed NRFNA. The combination of those techniques can provide accurate information on the small fissile content in a sample. Neutrons are generated by a pulsed neutron source and slowed down into the moderator. Neutrons are collimated using lead and borated polyethylene to reach the sample, where various neutron-induced reactions occur. n/g PSD plastic scintillators are used to measure the captured gamma rays and fission neutrons at sample location. GS20 is used to collect the transmitted neutrons downstream of the source-sample beamline. A first measurement campaign was performed using natural uranium sample. The possibility of using NRFNA to identify fissile materials within a sample was clearly demonstrated, but the detectors used were not sufficient to achieve a good n/g PSD. New PSD scintillators were introduced. A first measurement campaign was performed in 2023. The acquired data are currently being analyzed, but preliminary results show distinct fission resonance peaks of increasing intensity with varying thicknesses of the same natural uranium samples. Currently, an assembly of multiple scintillators is being investigated to provide a better signal. The new setup will be tested starting in early 2024. In this paper, we will describe in detail the NRA project development and the latest results from experimental campaign.

被引用回数：10 パーセンタイル：94.16(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We report an in situ neutron diffraction study of 316 L that reveals an extraordinary work-hardening rate (WHR) of 7 GPa at 15 K. Detailed analyses show that the major contribution to the excellent strength and ductility comes from the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect, introduced by the austenite-to-martensite (
-to-
') phase transition. A dramatic increase in the WHR is observed along with the transformation; the WHR declined when the austenite phase is exhausted. During plastic deformation, the volume-fraction weighted phase stress and stress contribution from the '-martensite increase significantly. The neutron diffraction data further suggest that the -to-' phase transformation was mediated by the -martensite, as evidenced by the concurrent decline of the phase with the phase.

被引用回数：11 パーセンタイル：89.71(Physics, Applied)The desire for intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity (
) in thermoelectrics motivates numerous efforts on understanding the microscopic mechanisms of heat transport in solids. Here, based on theoretical calculations, we demonstrate that -MgAgSb hosts low-energy localized phonon bands and avoided crossing of the rattler modes, which coincides with the inelastic neutron scattering result. Using the two-channel lattice dynamical approach, we find, besides the conventional contribution (70% at 300 K) from particlelike phonons propagating, the coherence contribution dominated by the wavelike tunneling of phonons accounts for 30% of total at 300 K. By considering dual contributions, our calculated room-temperature of 0.64 WmK well agrees with the experimental value of 0.63 WmK. More importantly, our computations give a nonstandard 
dependence, perfectly explaining the abnormal temperature-trend of 
in experiment for -MgAgSb. By molecular dynamics simulation, we reveal that the structure simultaneously has soft crystalline sublattices with the metavalent bonding and fluctuating liquid-like sublattices with thermally induced large amplitude vibrations. These diverse forms of chemical bonding arouse mixed part-crystal part-liquid state, scatter strongly heat-carrying phonons, and finally produce extremely low . The fundamental research from this study will accelerate the design of ultralow- materials for energy-conversion applications.

To know how effective the cooling is, it became important to know the geometry of the relocated corium. The present study chooses to focus on the "Wet Cavity" strategy and to build a reliable tool to evaluate the corium coolability in such a case. To achieve this goal, a previously developed formulation built to predict the corium geometry under the "Dry Cavity" strategy was extended to the conditions used in the "Wet Cavity" strategy. This extension includes the effect of solidification and cooling from the water by using a newly developed expression for the dimensionless thickness s, the water subcooling, and the melts super heat. After the validation of the extended formulation was confirmed, potential restrictions and limitations were investigated.

飛騨山脈黒部地域には、世界一若い露出プルトンである黒部川花崗岩体を含め、10-0.8Maの若い深成岩体が複数露出する。深成岩体が一般に地下数km以深で形成されることを考えると、削剥速度は数mm/yrないしそれ以上に達する可能性がある。しかし、これらの若い岩体の貫入やこれに伴う熱水活動等の熱擾乱のため、熱年代法による、冷却史に基づく削剥史の復元は簡単ではない。本研究では、地熱条件に依らない削剥評価のため、主に鮮新世から第四紀の深成岩体の固結年代と固結深度から、黒部地域の削剥史の復元を試みた。固結年代はジルコンU-Pb年代測定法、固結深度はAl-in-Hbl地質圧力計により推定した。計14試料から固結年代と固結深度のペアを得た結果、固結深度は約6-10kmでほぼ均一で、東西及び南北のいずれにも系統的な変化を示さなかった。この結果は、黒部-高瀬川破砕帯の東側の断層ブロックが、東に傾動したと考える従来のモデルとは不調和である。固結深度と固結年代のプロットから復元された削剥史は、約5.5-0.8Maにはほとんど削剥が起こらず、それ以降の時代に平均で約7-14mm/yrの急速な削剥が起こったことを示した。この結果は、ダム堆砂量や宇宙線生成核種法から推定された数十から数千年程度の侵食速度や、約1Ma以降に信濃大町方面で黒部地域からの花崗岩礫の供給が急増したことと矛盾しない。0.8Ma以降の黒部地域の急速な隆起・削剥の原因としては、東西圧縮応力の発現以降、黒部地域の地温が高い領域に沿って変位・変形が局在化した可能性が考えられ、現在、レオロジーと地温構造を考慮した変形シミュレーションによる検証を進めている。
