CuI is a well-known superionic conductor in a high temperature solid phase where the mobile cations migrate between interstitial sites in the f.c.c. sublattice formed by iodine ions. Even in the molten state, it shows several features suggesting collective or cooperative ionic motion. MD results show that Cu diffuses much faster than I. The Cu-Cu partial structure factor have a FSDP which indicates a medium-range ordering of Cu ions. Moreover the Cu-Cu partial pair distribution deeply penetrates into the nearest neighboring Cu-I shell. To reveal origin such anomalous behaviors of molten CuI, we performed quaiselastic neutron scattering (QENS) by the disk-chopper spectrometer AMATERAS at MLF, J-PARC. To interpret the total dynamic structure factor obtained from coherent QENS, the mode distribution analysis was applied. It is found that the motion of iodine is a kind of fluctuating within an almost local area while Cu ions diffuse much faster than iodine ions.

Liquid Bi has an asymmetric first peak in the structure factors S(Q). The pair distribution function g(r) exhibits strange distance ratio of 1:2 between the first and the second peaks. Since a HS model with two kinds of radius produces asymmetry of the main peak in S(Q), existence of short-lived covalent bonds was discussed. Contrarily, modulation of the atomic distribution by the Friedel oscillations of shielding electrons around metallic ions was discussed. To examine its bonding nature from viewpoints of dynamic correlation functions, we have measured neutron quasielastic scattering of liquid Bi by using cold disk chopper spectrometer installed at MLF of J-PARC. The van Hove function revealed that the shoulder structure located at a longer side of the first peak in g(r) exhibits a longer relaxation time than the main structures such as the first and second peaks.

At Nuclear Science Research Institute, clearance works for about 4,000 tons of extremely low-level radioactive concrete debris, which were generated from the modification activities of JRR-3 from FY 1985 to FY 1989 and stored in the waste storage facility NL, carried out. First of this clearance works, method for measuring and evaluating radioactivity concentration was approved by Minister of MEXT on July 25, 2008. And then, clearance works were started from FY 2009. Measuring and evaluating radioactivity concentration was achieved by using the approved method, and was confirmed by government. And then, clearance works were completed in FY 2014. The clearance concrete was recycled as a material for restoration works of the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake. This report summarizes the results of measuring and evaluating radioactivity concentration, achievement of confirmation by government, recycling of cleared concrete and cost for clearance works.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：8.94(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We succeeded in realizing the epitaxial growth of a Sr layer on Si(111) with an atomically abrupt heterointerface - in spite of its large lattice mismatch (12%) with Si - by introducing a monoatomic layer of H on Si. In order to identify the buried H, we carried out a combination analysis involving neutron reflectometry and resonant nuclear reaction of 
H(

C analysis. We found different neutron reflectivity profiles resulting from a contrast variation between the H and D atoms at the buried heterointerface. Furthermore, the depth -ray intensity profiles revealed that the H at the heterointerface acts as an effective buffer layer that enables it to manage the highly mismatched epitaxy on Si.

We have been storing about 4000 tons of very low-level radioactive concrete debris as radioactive wastes generated from the modification of JRR-3 between 1985 and 1990. At that time, the clearance system was not a part of our regulatory law. We conducted a preliminary survey of contamination levels, and then established procedures for measuring and evaluating the radioactivity concentration. In 2008, the government authorized our procedures for clearance. Since FY 2009, we have measured the radioactivity concentration of concrete debris, using the government-authorized procedures. By the end of FY 2012, the government had confirmed the correctness of our measurements and evaluation results on about 1900 tons of concrete debris. We processed the concrete debris that was approved by the government for recycling. By the end of FY 2012, we had reused about 600 tons of concrete debris as backfilling material in depressed areas around buildings in the Nuclear Science Research Institute.

Research results obtained in JAEA Project Research "Mechanism of the function expression caused by disordered structure" will be focused in this presentation. The purpose of this project is to reveal mechanism of the function expression of functional materials where randomness involved in crystalline structure plays an key role, by applying the method and analyses frequently used in random material physics. We will report the results of liquid bismuth with complex structure which was investigated by time-space correlation function, and low thermal conductivity in layered thermoelectric material and next-generation solar cell which was investigated by neutron inelastic scattering measurements.

There are many polyvalent liquid metals with complex structure which cannot be reproduced by random packing model. To explain such complexity, coexistence of metallic and covalent bonds, dynamic model of short-lived covalent bonds, and quasi-crystal model where Peierls distortion still remains even in liquid phase have been proposed from structure analyses and theoretical calculations. To obtain concrete picture experimentally for complex structure, it is indispensable to measure dynamic structure with precise statistical accuracy. We performed inelastic neutron scattering of liquid bismuth by using AMATERAS installed at MLF in J-PARC and deduced its time-space correlation function. We got evidence that structure of Peierls distortion remains even in liquid by evaluating difference in relaxation time at specific atomic distances characterized by double layered structure.

We have performed coherent quasielastic neutron scattering experiment for liquid polyvalent metals which has complicated static structure not reproduced by a hard-sphere packing model, by utilizing AMATERAS spectrometer in J-PARC. It has been considered that, for Bi and Sb, a double-layered structure originated from Peierls distortion which is seen in solid crystalline phase remains even in their liquid phases. We have succeeded in detection of such Peierls distortion structure in liquid by difference in structural relaxation time at corresponding charateristic interatomic distances in the deduced time-space correlation function.

We have developed analysis method to reduce the so-call van Hove function, a time-space correlation function, through the regularization method for coherent quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) of liquids. In principle, the van Hove function in r-t space can be obtained by double Fourier transform from dynamic structure factor in Q-E space. Instead of a direct function estimation of the van Hove function through the regularization method which easily involves systematical deviation of the calculated dynamic structure factor from the experimental dynamic structure factor, we used a mediation function between them and estimated it through the regularization method. We will discuss with the properties of the mediation function and the obtained van Hove function and the calculated dynamic structure factor with an example of liquid metals with complex static structure such as Bi and Sb whose QENS were measured by AMATERAS spectrometer in J-PARC.
