The investigation employed in-situ neutron diffraction and atomistic simulations for a comprehensive understanding of the process. Dynamic transformations were observed during deformation of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy and pure titanium below the beta transus temperatures. During isothermal holding after unloading, the in-situ neutron diffraction results for Ti-6Al-4V and pure titanium indicated a sluggish reverse transformation from the beta to alpha phase. The mechanism of dynamic transformation was explored through in-situ neutron diffraction and atomistic simulations, which revealed twofold effects of deformation on dynamic transformation. Firstly, deformation led to a significant rise in the Gibbs energy of the alpha phase relative to the beta phase, expanding the beta phase region and diminishing the alpha phase region. Secondly, deformation lowered the energy barriers associated with dynamic transformation, facilitating the activation of dynamic transformation more readily than in the equilibrium state before deformation.

被引用回数：12 パーセンタイル：71.25(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Dynamic transformation from alpha (HCP) to beta (BCC) phase in a zirconium alloy was revealed by the use of in-situ neutron diffraction during hot compression. The dynamic transformation was unexpectedly detected during isothermal compression at temperatures of 900
C and 950C (alpha + beta two-phase region) and strain rates of 0.01 s
and 0.001 s, even though equilibrium two-phase states were achieved prior to the hot compression. Dynamic transformation was accompanied by diffusion of Sn from beta to alpha phase, which resulted in changes of lattice parameters and a characteristic microstructure of alpha grains. The details of dynamic transformation are discussed using the evolution of lattice constants.

被引用回数：22 パーセンタイル：82.99(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Spin and lattice are two fundamental degrees of freedom in a solid, and their fluctuations about the equilibrium values in a magnetic ordered crystalline lattice form quasiparticles termed magnons (spin waves) and phonons (lattice waves), respectively. In most materials with strong spin-lattice coupling (SLC), the interaction of spin and lattice induces energy gaps in the spin wave dispersion at the nominal intersections of magnon and phonon modes. Here we use neutron scattering to show that in the two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals honeycomb lattice ferromagnetic CrGeTe, spin waves propagating within the 2D plane exhibit an anomalous dispersion, damping, and breakdown of quasiparticle conservation, while magnons along the c axis behave as expected for a local moment ferromagnet. These results indicate the presence of dynamical SLC arising from the zero-temperature quantum fluctuations in CrGeTe, suggesting that the observed in-plane spin waves are mixed spin and lattice quasiparticles fundamentally different from pure magnons and phonons.

In the 2012 experimental campaign, deposition and erosion were studied for three samples: mock-up of the outer first wall panels (FWPs) in ITER, castellated tungsten, and molybdenum mirrors. The FWPs with carbon deposition layer were exposed to helium plasmas. The maximum erosion rate of the carbon was valuated to be 8 nm/s. The castellated tungsten with rectangular cells and roof-like shaped cells was exposed to deuterium plasmas to compare amount of deposits on the gap surface. The amount of carbon and boron impurities on the gap surface of the roof-like shaped cells were reduced to less than 30% compared with that of the rectangular cells. The molybdenum mirrors of which protective ducts are installed in front were exposed to deuterium plasmas in order to investigate effects of length of the ducts. It was found that the reflectivity of the mirrors with 60 mm-long protective ducts is kept the initial reflectivity.

Crystallite size is a crucial parameter in characterising the structural properties of materials, and accurate measurement techniques are essential for various applications in engineering materials science. The neutron Bragg edge imaging method offers a non-destructive and penetrating approach to measure crystallite size of each crystalline phase within a bulk material. Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) is a popular technique for determining grain sizes and orientations in crystalline materials. This experiment aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of neutron Bragg edge imaging as a complementary technique to EBSD for grain size characterisation in crystalline materials. We conducted experiments using standard samples with known grain sizes from the EBSD measurements. Two materials were used in the study: pure iron with a ferrite phase and an Fe-24Ni-0.3C alloy with an austenite phase. The time-of-flight neutron transmission imaging experiment was performed at BL22 RADEN in J-PARC MLF. By analysing the obtained Bragg-edge spectra, we were able to obtain information regarding the crystallite size and texture of the samples. To validate the results, a comparison was made using data from both EBSD observations and neutron diffraction measurements from BL19 TAKUMI in J-PARC MLF.

Deformation induced martensitic transformation (DIMT) during plastic deformation of metastable austenitic steels plays an important role in enhancing their strain hardening, leading to an outstanding combination of strength and tensile ductility. In this study, Fe-24Ni-0.3C metastable austenitic steel specimens having mean grain sizes ranging from 1.3 micrometer to 35 micrometers were fabricated by cold rolling and subsequent annealing processes. The effect of the grain size on the strain hardening behavior and DIMT in the material was investigated by tensile test at room temperature with in-situ neutron diffraction. Results obtained by the in-situ neutron diffraction showed that the enhanced strain-hardening rate was caused not only by the increase of the volume fraction of martensite but also by the rapid increase of the internal stress within martensite. When the grain size changed within the coarse grained region (35 micrometers to 4 micrometers) the influence of the grain size on the stress partitioning between austenite and martensite was relatively small, thus the work-hardening behavior was mainly determined by the increasing rate of the volume fraction of martensite. However, when the grain size decreased down to ultrafine grain regime (smaller than 2 micrometers), the internal stress in martensite significantly increased, which resulted in the increasing work-hardening rate. The increasing stress in martensite in the ultrafine grained specimens is explained by the enhanced elastic stress associated with the incompatibility between martensite and austenite phases.

Castellated tungsten samples with different gap width and gap depth are exposed to the scrape-off-layer plasma with the material and plasma evaluation system (MAPES) to investigate effects of castellation configurations on impurity deposition and fuel retention. After the plasma exposure, composition and distribution of the impurity deposited on the inner surface of the gap are investigated. The composition and the distribution of the deposits have a strong dependence of the gap configuration. The amount of the deposits on the inner surface of the inverse trapezoid gap is small compared with that of the rectangular gap with the same top width. For all the samples, the amount of the deposits decreases with the gap width and depth.

In this study, strain hardening behavior of Fe-24Ni-0.3C metastable austenitic steel having deformation induced martensitic transformation (DIMT) during deformation was investigated by tensile test with in-situ neutron diffraction, aiming to clarify the mechanism of the enhanced strain hardening caused by the DIMT. The results suggested that the evolution of phase stress of martensite during the deformation plays an important role in the strain hardening. It was found that during deformation the phase stress of martensite firstly increased rapidly from a low value, and then the rate of increase decreased as it approached 1.8 GPa. A dramatic increase in the stress partitioning between austenite and martensite was generated due to the rapid increase of martensite phase stress, which contributed significantly to the increase in the overall strain hardening rate of the material. The analysis of plastic deformation of austenite and martensite reveals that the rapid increase in stress partitioning occurred during the elasto-plastic deformation stage and arose from the occurrence of the plastic strain misfits.
