Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Hydrogen vibration excitations of fluorite-type ZrH and TiH were investigated up to 21 GPa and 4 GPa, respectively, by incoherent inelastic neutron scattering experiments. The first excitation energies increased with pressure, as described by the equations

(AA), respectively. The slopes of these curves are much steep compared to the previously reported trend in various fluorite-type metal hydrides at ambient pressure. The hydrogen wave function spreading showed that the local potential field for a hydrogen atom shrinks more intensively than the tetrahedral site. These behavior is likely caused by the rigid metal ion core and the resulting confinement of the hydrogen atom in the narrower potential field at high pressures.

The neutron instruments suite, installed at the spallation neutron source of the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), is reviewed. MLF has 23 neutron beam ports and 21 instruments are in operation for user programs or are under commissioning. A unique and challenging instrumental suite in MLF has been realized via combination of a high-performance neutron source, optimized for neutron scattering, and unique instruments using cutting-edge technologies. All instruments are/will serve in world-leading investigations in a broad range of fields, from fundamental physics to industrial applications. In this review, overviews, characteristic features, and typical applications of the individual instruments are mentioned.

Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：25.85(Chemistry, Analytical)A technique to utilize radioisotopes of Nb and Ta was developed for chemical studies of element 105, Db, by coupling a gas-jet transport system to the RIKEN gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS). The short-lived Nb and Ta were produced with nuclear reactions using a 
F beam whose energy was the same as that to produce 
Db. Then, they were separated with GARIS and extracted to a chemistry laboratory with the gas-jet transport system. By changing only magnetic field of GARIS and inserting an energy degrader and a shutter for recoil ions, we could deliver the Nb and Ta to a chemistry device for Db without changing other experimental conditions.

Recently, the high-pressure state of metal hydrides has attracted much attention due to the discovery of superhydrides with high-
near room temperature under ultra-high pressure. The vibrational state of hydrogen is important to understand the origin of high and to search for materials with higher . Incoherent Inelastic Neutron Scattering (IINS) is a powerful tool to study the vibrational excitations of hydrogen. Therefore, vibrational excitations of various metal hydrides have been investigated, but a unified understanding is still lacking due to the differences in the lattice size and electronic states. Pressure allows us to investigate the nature of the lattice more rationally because the lattice size can be changed continuously. In the present work, we have developed an apparatus for IINS under high pressure, and succeeded in observing vibrational excitations of hydrogen in ZrH and TiH up to 21 GPa. In this talk, we will introduce the principle of IINS, the experiments, and the results obtained.
