Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:42.72(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Since the shape of the negative crystal closely relates to the morphology of the crystal habits, the formation and the growth mechanism is important subject in a field of the physical science. Whereas, the negative crystal formed in a large single crystal mass has been arousing interest as an expensive jewelry because of its mysterious appearance and rarity. However, it is difficult to control the shape of this polyhedral cavity embedded in a solid medium arbitrary. Here we report the recent discovery on the growth process of the negative crystal. We found that precipitated helium forms the negative crystal in UO; the shape changes drastically with the condition of the helium precipitation. The transformation mechanism was discussed in this article. Our investigation implies that the shape of the negative crystal can be arbitrary controlled by controlling the precipitation condition.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:53.3(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The indentation hardness, Vickers hardness, fracture toughness, and Young's modulus of polycrystalline uranium monontride (UN) at sub-microscale and macroscale were evaluated by an indentation test, Vickers hardness test, and the ultrasonic pulse echo method. The Young's modulus and Vickers hardness were in good agreement with the literature values. The fracture toughness of UN was about three times that of UO. In addition, we revealed the indentation size effect on the indentation hardness of UN.

Drainage water, waste rocks, and ocherous precipitates collected from the mine were investigated in terms of their mineralogy and chemistry. The chemistry of the drainage water was analyzed by measuring pH, ORP, and EC on site as well as by ICP-MS and ion chromatography. The results of these investigations indicated that Sb, which is generated by the dissolution of stibnite (SbS) and secondary formed Sb minerals in waste rocks, was attenuated by iron-bearing ocherous precipitates, especially schwertmannite, that form over time in the drainage water. Bulk distribution coefficients (Kd) for this Sb adsorption to the precipitates ranges up to at least 10 L/kg.
