被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Multidisciplinary Sciences)The elastocaloric effect, driven by stress-induced martensitic transformations, offers a promising route toward efficient and environmentally friendly solid-state cooling. However, its practical implementation has been hindered by an inherent trade-off: materials exhibiting large isothermal entropy changes typically operate over narrow temperature windows, thereby limiting their overall cooling performance. Here, we demonstrate an elastocaloric response in a Ti-Al-Cr superelastic alloy that overcomes this limitation. Direct measurements reveal a pronounced elastocaloric cooling effect over an ultra-wide temperature range of 305 K, from 97 K to 402 K. This temperature span exceeds that predicted by the Clausius-Clapeyron relationship (235 K), indicating a significant deviation from conventional thermodynamic expectations. At room temperature, a large adiabatic temperature change of ~10 K is directly measured, corresponding to a cooling output of 5.76 Jg
and a material coefficient of performance of 4.6, demonstrating competitive cooling performance at practical operating conditions. In addition, the elastocaloric response is maintained over the entire temperature range despite the expected decrease in entropy change at lower temperatures, indicating that the conventional trade-off between temperature span and cooling strength is effectively mitigated. This exceptional behavior originates from a combination of anomalous temperature dependence of the critical stress for martensitic transformation and high mechanical strength, which together enable fully reversible stress-induced transformations across a broad thermal domain. Our findings reveal a new regime of elastocaloric behavior and establish a guiding principle for overcoming the apparent limitations imposed by Clausius-Clapeyron-based descriptions in caloric materials.

While such excitations have been explored in nonmagnetic systems via optical probes, their direct detection in magnetic materials and coupling to spin excitations remain largely unexplored.

These observations demonstrate the existence of chiral phonons carrying substantial magnetic moments that directly contribute to magnetic scattering, and establish neutron spectroscopy as a powerful, momentum-resolved probe of their magnetic character.

SR) measurements, along with various first-principles calculations. Electrical transport measurements and density functional theory confirm a narrow band gap (
0.707~eV, experimentally;
0.680~eV, theoretically).
SR measurements reveal that static magnetism dominates down to 2~K, with an ordered volume fraction of
89% at this temperature. Two distinct transitions are identified: one around the N
el temperature [
~K] and another corresponding to a phase transition near 30~K, as consistently indicated by our complementary experimental techniques. The absence of dynamic critical behaviors and the lack of a
-type specific heat anomaly are consistent with a first-order-like transition at

30~K broad feature arises from the complex interplay between crystal structure distortion and magnetic coupling, which is potentially directly linked to ferrotoroidicity. As the first study integrating

In the search for unconventional magnetism, exotic quantum states are characterized by a lack of order and a broad spin excitation continuum approaching zero temperature. We study the two-dimensional triangular-lattice effective spin-system CeMgAl
O
, which shows slight disorder but no magnetic ordering down to 100 millikelvin. Spin-wave analysis in the magnetic-field-polarized state determines the spin Hamiltonian featuring a mixed ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor exchange interaction. This places the system near an exactly solvable point of the spin-triangular-lattice XXZ model with extensive ground-state degeneracy. In zero field, neutron spectroscopy reveals a prominent continuum; we show that this arises from an ensemble average of spin-wave spectra across the degenerate ground-state manifold. This demonstrates that the role of weak quenched disorder can be quantitatively constrained: It inhibits unique ground-state selection and stabilizes a local distribution within the degenerate manifold, yielding continuum-like spectra that necessitate a critical reevaluation of the experimental signatures of exotic quantum states.

C) was employed as a functional filler, while cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) acted as both a dispersant and a stabiliser to enhance the neutron shielding properties of metakaolin-based geopolymers. Although the addition of B
C improved processability via a roller-ball effect and had no discernible impact on the geopolymerisation process, its weakly polar, negatively charged surface led to the formation of a loose, weak-shell interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between the filler and the matrix, thereby reducing mechanical strength and chemical stability. In contrast, CTAB self-assembled into an interdigitated monolayer on the B
C surface, reversing its surface charge to positive and promoting its uniform dispersion within the matrix. This work offers a promising approach for engineering high-performance, multifunctional geopolymer composites for nuclear and environmental applications.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:80.48(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We demonstrate that a multi-k incommensurate magnetic state in the Weyl semimetal CeAlGe gives rise to a singular angular magnetoresistance (SAMR), which is an electrical transport signature capable of detecting magnetic field direction with exceptional precision. In contrast, its sister compound CeAlSi is devoid of both multi-k order and SAMR. We reveal that both phenomena appear upon 57% Ge substitution in CeAlSi1-xGex and coincide with electronic structure changes that soften the single-ion in-plane anisotropy and enhance Weyl-mediated magnetic interactions. These results unveil a remarkable connection between band topology, electronic transport, and collective magnetism in Weyl semimetals.

Highly polarized MeV gamma-rays, produced by Laser Compton Scattered (LCS) of a polarized laser with an electron beam, offer a unique probe for basic and applied physics research. As the polarization characteristics of these gamma-rays vary with the position of the beam cross section, it is essential to understand the polarization properties when using polarized gamma-rays. However, detailed measurements of the two-dimensional spatial polarization distribution have not yet been conducted. In the UVSOR synchrotron facility, a polarimeter was developed to measure the spatial polarization distribution of linearly polarized gamma-rays. The polarimeter is based on asymmetry measurements of the Compton scattering cross section. In this conference, we will report on measurement results of the spatial polarization distribution of linearly and circularly polarized LCS gamma-rays. The polarization axis of the polarized gamma-rays was clearly measured to vary with scattering and azimuth angle. In the near future, we plan to use the developed polarimeter to also measure the spatial polarization distribution of gamma-rays generated by an axially symmetric polarized laser.

Highly polarized gamma rays with linear or circular polarization are essential light sources for nuclear and particle physics experiments, astronomical detector evaluations, and relativistic electron beam diagnostics. In this study, we demonstrate gamma-ray generation via Compton scattering with unique polarization states, termed axially symmetric polarization. To investigate this, we developed a polarimeter for Compton gamma-ray sources to measure their two-dimensional polarization distribution. We found two methods to generate gamma rays whose polarization axis follows the azimuthal direction. The first method exploits the inherent azimuthal polarization of gamma rays produced using a circularly polarized laser. In this configuration, the gamma rays along the central axis are circularly polarized, while the linear polarization components in the outer region of the beam cross section are aligned azimuthally. The second method utilizes azimuthal polarization that arises in the outer region of the beam due to the incoherent superposition of multiple linearly polarized gamma rays with varying polarization axes, generated by an axially symmetric polarized laser. Additionally, our calculations indicate the feasibility of generating gamma rays with polarization axes oriented along the radial direction. This radial polarization, observed near the beam axis, results from the incoherent superposition of second harmonic gamma rays produced through nonlinear interactions induced by an intense axially symmetric polarized laser.

The present study demonstrates a complex interplay among magnetization, spin-dependent electronic structure, and spin fluctuations in producing the giant Hall effect in highly conductive frustrated magnets with a distorted triangular lattice.

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.

The stress and plastic strain of retained austenite and volume fraction of retained austenite were remarkably changed during Luders deformation in the medium Mn steel, implying that the medium Mn steel possessed inhomogeneous deformation at the parallel part of the tensile specimen. On the other hand, the distributions of the stress, plastic strain and volume fraction of retained austenite were homogeneous and the homogeneous deformation occurred at the parallel part of the tensile specimen at the plastic deformation regime with work hardening in the medium Mn and TBF steels. The martensitic transformation of retained austenite at uders deformation in the medium Mn steel was possessed owing to the application of high stress and preferential deformation at retained austenite, resulting in a significant increase in the plastic deformation and reduction of stress in the retained austenite. The martensitic transformation of retained austenite at the plastic deformation regime with work hardening was induced by the high dislocation density and newly applied plastic deformation in retained austenite in the medium Mn steel whereas the TBF steel possessed gradual transformation of retained austenite which is applied high tensile stress and moderate plastic deformation.
