Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:72.98(Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear)In recent years gas-phase chemical studies assisted by physical pre-separation allowed for the productions and investigations of fragile single molecular species of superheavy elements. The latest highlight is the formation of very volatile hexacarbonyl compound of element 106, Sg(CO). Following this success, second-generation experiments were performed to measure the first bond dissociation energy between the central metal atom and the surrounding ligand. The method using a tubular decomposition reactor was developed and successfully applied to short-lived Mo(CO), W(CO), and Sg(CO).

Times Cited Count:31 Percentile:95.03(Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear)Conditions of the production and decomposition of hexacarbonyl complexes of short-lived Mo and W isotopes were investigated to study thermal stability of the heaviest group 6 hexacarbonyl complex Sg(CO). A tubular flow reactor was tested to decompose the hexacarbonyl complexes and to extract the first bond dissociation energies. A silver was found to be the most appropriate reaction surface to study the decomposition of the group 6 hexacarbonyl. It was found that the surface temperature at which the decomposition occurred was correlated to the first bond dissociation energy of Mo(CO) and W(CO), indicating that the first bond dissociation energy of Sg(CO) could be determined with this technique.

Times Cited Count:15 Percentile:77.56(Chemistry, Analytical)Rapid In situ synthesis of metal carbonyl complexes has been demonstrated using short-lived isotopes produced in nuclear fission and fusion reactions. The short-lived isotopes with high recoil energy directly react with carbon-monoxides and form carbonyl complexes. Only highly volatile complexes were fast transported in a gas stream to counting and chemistry devices. Short-lived Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, W, Re, Os, and Ir were found to form volatile carbonyl complexes, while no volataile complex of Hf and Ta were detected. This technique has been applied to a chemical investigation of the superheavy element Sg (atomic number 106), and will be applicable to various fields of nuclear science with short-lived transition metal isotopes.

Times Cited Count:63 Percentile:83.28(Multidisciplinary Sciences)A new superheavy element complex, a seaborgium carbonyl, has been successfully synthesized, and its adsorption property has been studied using a cryo-thermochromatography and -detection apparatus COMPACT. Nuclear reaction products of short-lived Sg preseparated with a gas-filled recoil ion separator GARIS at RIKEN were directly injected into a gas cell filled with He/CO mixture gas, and chemical reaction products of volatile carbonyl complexes were trasported to COMPACT. The Sg carbonyl complex detected with COMPACT was found to be very volatile with adsorption enthalpy of 50 kJ/mol, from which we have concluded that this complex should be a Sg hexacarbonyl Sg(CO). This is the first synthesis of organometallic compounds of transactinide elements for which only simple inorganic comounds have been synthesized so far.

rays following the decay of Rf have been observed for the first time by means of - coincidence spectroscopy. Rf was produced via the Cf(C,4n)Rf reaction at the JAEA tandem accelerator. Two lines were observed at 97.3 and 146.7 keV in coincidence with the 8770 keV transition of Rf. The energy differences and intensities of these transitions, which are very similar to those in the decay of No with the same neutron number N = 155, allow us to assign the 3/2[622] configuration to the 146.7 keV level in No as well as to the ground state of Rf. This result indicates that the order of neutron orbitals should be inverted between Fm and No in isotones.

Alpha-decay spectroscopy of odd-mass Rf and Lr isotopes was performed to establish proton and neutron single-particle orbitals. rays following the decay of Rf were observed for the first time through the - coincidence measurement, and the neutron configuration of the ground state of Rf was assigned. It was found that the ground-state configuration of Rf is different from those of the lighter N = 155 isotones Fm and Cf. For the Lr isotopes, the proton configurations of the ground and isomeric states in Lr and the ground states of Lr and Lr were definitely identified through the high-resolution fine structure spectroscopy. Theoretical calculations based on the macroscopic-microscopic model revealed that the change of the ground-state configuration in the N = 155 isotones is strongly associated with the rapidly decreasing hexadecapole deformation with increasing atomic number.

We have developed high-resolution fine-structure spectroscopy for studying nuclear structure of short-lived heavy actinide nuclei. It has been demonstrated that spin-parities and single-particle configurations of the ground state of a parent nucleus as well as excited states in a daughter nucleus can be determined only through the measured singles spectrum. To achieve a good energy resolution of 11 keV, conditions to make a thin source have been optimized. Using this technique, we have identified proton single-particle configurations of Lr, Lr, Lr, and Lr for the first time.

A specific phenomenon was found in fission-fragment mass distributions for nuclides around A=258 by spontaneous fission measurements. Fm256 splits into light and heavy fragments, like uranium isotopes, making two peaks in their mass distribution, whereas a sharp single peak was found in that of Fm258 which has only two more neutrons. In order to study such a specific phenomenon more widely, we performed an experiment of the multinucleon transfer fission in the O18+Es254 reaction at JAEA Tokai tandem accelerator facility.
