Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:31.64(Physics, Applied)To clarify the existence of cation vacancies in Ce-doped GdAlGaO (Ce:GAGG) scintillators, we performed gamma-ray-induced positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (GiPALS). GiPAL spectra of GAGG and Ce:GAGG comprised two exponential decay components, which were assigned to positron annihilation at bulk and defect states. By an analogy with Ce:YAlO, the defect-related component was attributed to Al/Ga-O divacancy complexes. This component was weaker for Ce, Mg:GAGG, which correlated with the suppression of shallow electron traps responsible for phosphorescence. Oxygen vacancies were charge compensators for Al/Ga vacancies. The lifetime of the defect-related component was significantly changed by Mg co-doping. This was understood by considering aggregates of Mg ions at Al/Ga sites with oxygen vacancies, which resulted in the formation of vacancy clusters.

Times Cited Count:34 Percentile:79.73(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Electronic states of single-component molecular metals M(tmdt) (M=Ni,Au) are studied theoretically. We construct an effective three-band Hubbard model for each material by numerical fitting to first-principles band calculations, while referring to molecular orbital calculations for the isolated molecules. The model consists of two kinds of base orbital for each molecule with hybridization between them, i.e., a -character orbital for each of the two tmdt ligands, and, a pd-orbital for M=Ni or a pd-orbital for M=Au centered on the metal site; this indicates that these materials can be considered as novel multiband -d systems. We find that both orbitals contribute to realize the metallic character in Ni(tmdt). The origin of the antiferromagnetic transition observed in Au(tmdt) is also discussed based on this model.

In these instruments, the motional Stark effect (MSE) polarimeter, charge exchanged recombination spectroscopy (CXRS), heavy-ion beam probe (HIBP), time of flight (TOF) neutral particle analyzer, etc. have contributed to make clear the improved mechanism of confinement such as H-mode and High Recycling Steady (HRS) H-mode, and to search the operational region of these modes.The infrared TV camera system and lost ion probe have played a very important role to investigate the heat load onto the walls due to ripple loss particles and escaping ions from core plasma, respectively.

This report is a summary of the design works, which was discussed in the design workshop held in 2000 for the demonstration (DEMO) blanket aimed to strengthen the commercial competitiveness and technical feasibility simultaneously. The DEMO blanket must supply the feasibility and experience of the total design of the power plant and the materials. This conceptual design study was performed to determine the updated strategy and goal of the R&D of the DEMO blanket which applies the supercritical water cooling proposed in A-SSTR, taking into account the recent progress of the plasma research and reactor engineering technology.

We investigate the electronic states of single component molecular conductors Ni(tmdt) and Au(tmdt). Starting from the intramolecular bonding/antibonding molecular orbitals which contributes to the levels near the Fermi energy, we contstruct an effective tight-binding model by decomposing them into orbitals of two (tmdt) and that of the metal. We discuss possible spin/charge ordered states within mean-field approximation and compare our results with the magnetic order found in Au(tmdt).

For general positron sources, radioisotopes such as Na are often used. However, there is a problem that positrons cannot probe the deep region of metal materials with a thickness of 1 mm or more. Gamma-ray induced positron annihilation lifetime measurement (GiPALS) is a method for generating positrons in bulk samples with a thickness of several centimeters and samples placed in vessels such as high temperature and/or pressure furnaces. The annihilation lifetime of positrons is about 200 ps for metal materials, so it is important to use gamma rays with a shorter pulse width for GiPALS in order to accurately measure the positron lifetime. We have succeeded in the proof-of-principle experiment for GiPALS of ultra-short pulse gamma rays with a pulse width of 2 ps, which was originally developed using 90 collision laser Compton scattering at UVSOR.
