Radioactive cesium released by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in March 2011 remains in the forest environment and is being transported to the ocean via residential areas by runoff into river systems. Most of the Cs in river water exists as suspended forms, being strongly fixed by micaceous clay minerals. If this fraction can change its form into dissolved forms, this results in additional input of bioavailable
Cs. In this study, in-situ sampling of
Cs at multiple rivers in Fukushima Prefecture was conducted using the DGT (diffusive gradient in thin film) devices to investigate the dynamics of radioactive cesium in river environments. At almost all sampling points, the DGT
Cs concentrations exceeded dissolved
Cs concentrations, revealing the existence of a flux from the suspended to the dissolved forms. This additional input was found to have higher
Cs/
Cs ratios, compared those of Cs in the dissolved form. This study demonstrates that the bioavailability of
Cs can be underestimated by assessing only the dissolved form due to
Cs flux from the suspended particles likely caused by their dissolution.

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:56.40(Polymer Science)Adding silane coupling agents to rubber/silica particles systems improves their mechanical properties and the dispersion of the particles. The improvement is believed to be attributed to the enhanced adsorption of rubber molecules on the surface of silica particles by the silane coupling agent. However, the enhancement of the adsorption by silane coupling agent has not been clarified quantitatively yet. In this study, we have investigated the difference in (i) the adsorption of rubber on silica surfaces and (ii) the aggregation of silica particles in rubber/silica particle systems with and without silane coupling agents by using contrast variation neutron scattering (CV-SANS). The CVSANS results quantitatively clarified the adsorption layer's thickness and the degree of aggregation for both systems. In the case of the system without silane coupling agents, the adsorption layers do not exist around the particles, and the particles tend to aggregate. On the other hand, the adsorption layers of about 5.3 nm are formed on the surface of the particles in the system with silane coupling agents, and the addition of silane coupling agents suppressed the aggregation.

We have proposed a Hubbard model which exhibits itinerant ferromagnetism by extending the model of Nagaoka ferromagnetism. In the present work, we confirm that the idea of the realization of itinerant ferromagnetism works in two- and three-dimensional lattices as well as a one-dimensional lattice which we studied previously. We also investigate the temperature dependence of the magnetic ordering and present a magnetic phase diagram in the space of the temperature and the chemical potential. In the obtained phase diagram, we find a V-shape structure for the magnetic ordering near a quantum phase transition. Besides, we find an additional peak exhibiting a dome structure. Temperature dependences of related spin correlation functions are studied in detail.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We study finite-temperature properties of a Hubbard model including sites of a particle bath which was proposed as a microscopic model to show itinerant ferromagnetism at finite electron density. We use direct numerical methods, such as exact diagonalization and random vector methods. The temperature dependence of quantities is surveyed in the full range of the temperature. We find that the specific heat has several peaks, which correspond to ordering processes in different energy scales. In particular, magnetic correlations develop at very low temperature. The system exhibits an itinerant ferromagnetic state or an antiferromagnetic state of the Mott insulator depending on the chemical potential of the particle bath and the Coulomb interaction. From a microscopic viewpoint, the competition between these two types of magnetic states causes a peculiar ordering process of local spin correlations. Some local ferromagnetic correlations are found to be robust, which indicates that the ferromagnetic correlation originates from the motion of itinerant electrons in a short-range cluster.

By exploiting density-matrix renormalization group methods, we study magnetic and transport properties of a frustrated quantum spin chain with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor exchange interactions in an applied magnetic field. In high magnetic fields, there appear a series of spin multipole liquid ground states such as quadrupole, octupole, and hexadecapole, which are two-, three-, and four-magnon bound states, respectively. Since the low-energy excitation is governed by multi-magnon bound states, we envisage that bound magnon clusters would carry spin current. We will report detailed analyses of multipole excitation spectra and current correlation functions, and discuss how the magnon clusters contribute to the transport.

, far below the saturation field. These observations were reproduced by numerical calculations using the density-matrix renormalization group methods, including the staggered magnetic fields induced by a uniform external magnetic field and the interchain magnetic exchange interaction. We found that the directional dependence of the lowest mode originates mainly from the remarkable angular dependence of the induced magnetic field. The interchain interaction is also quantitatively important for reproducing the experimental results. The directional dependence of the lowest mode is demonstrated by the particle-hole excitation of spinons using the Jordan-Wigner transformation.

Regarding magnetic excitations, we find gapless longitudinal and gapped transverse spin excitation spectra, in accordance with quasi-long-range longitudinal and short-range transverse spin correlations, respectively, while we observe gapless quadrupole excitations, signaling quasi-long-range quadrupole correlations. In the present work, we investigate spin and thermal transport properties by exploiting numerical methods, such as exact diagonalization and density-matrix renormalization group. We will discuss the effects of bound magnon propagation in spin and thermal transport, based on detailed analyses of current-current correlation functions in the spin nematic ground state, and temperature and field dependencies of the spin Drude weight and the thermal Drude weight.

, the ground state in high magnetic fields is a quadrupole state, the so-called spin nematic state. To understand the properties of the spin nematic state from the viewpoint of excitation dynamics, we have studied dynamical spin structure factors by density-matrix renormalization group methods. In the spin nematic regime, we find gapless longitudinal and gapped transverse spin excitation spectra, in accordance with quasi-long-ranged longitudinal and short-ranged transverse spin correlations, respectively. These features can be examined by inelastic neutron scattering experiments. However, they are indirect evidence for the spin nematic state. Here, we proceed to analyze dynamical quadrupole structure factors to clarify excitation dynamics in the quadrupole channel. We observe gapless excitations at
