With the increasing importance of light-responsive materials, it is vital to analyze the relationship between function and structural changes induced by light irradiation. Small-angle scattering (SAS) is effective for such structural analysis. However, quantitatively capturing local molecular structure formation and molecular reactions at a scale of less than 1 nm via SAS is difficult. In this study, to analyze the structure of non-equilibrium phenomena in light-responsive materials, a new sample environment has been developed for a time-of-flight small- and wide-angle neutron scattering instrument (TAIKAN), comprising a UV-Vis irradiation system, UV-Vis absorption measurement equipment and photodetector. Simultaneous measurement of small-angle neutron scattering and UV-Vis absorption was achieved. This system was used to demonstrate the in situ observation of UV-Vis irradiation-induced structural change of micelles formed by a light-responsive surfactant sample in an aqueous solution.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:39.42(Physics, Multidisciplinary)To understand the practical effects of pressure-transmitting media (PTM) on neutron diffraction using Paris-Edinburgh presses, diffraction patterns of MgO were collected to approximately 20 GPa using PTMs of Pb, AgCl, 4:1 methano-ethanol (ME) mixture with and without heating, N, and Ar. Hydrostaticity in the sample chamber estimated from the MgO 220 peak width improves in the order of Pb, AgCl, Ar, ME mixture, N, and the heated ME mixture. Unlike previous results using a diamond anvil cell, the unheated ME mixture is superior to Ar even after freezing, probably due to the cup on the anvil face. Considering these results and the sizable coherent scattering of Ne, which would show good hydrostaticity, we conclude that the ME mixture (preferably the heated one) is the best PTM in neutron experiments up to 20 GPa, while Ar can be substituted when a sample is reactive to alcohols.

The Cryogenics and Magnets group in the Sample Environment team is responsible for operation of cryostats and magnets for user's experiments at the MLF in J-PARC. We have introduced a top-loading He cryostat, a bottom-loading He cryostat, a dilution refrigerator insert and a superconducting magnet. The frequency of use of them dramatically becomes higher in these two years, as the beam power and the number of proposal increase. To respond such situation, we have made efforts to enhance performance of these equipment as follows. The He cryostat originally involves an operation software for automatic initial cooling down to the base temperature and automatic re-charge of He. Recently we made an additional program for automatic temperature control with only the sorb heater. Last year, a new outer vacuum chamber of the magnet with an oscillating radial collimator (ORC) was fabricated. The data quality was drastically improved by introducing this ORC so that the magnet can be used even for the inelastic neutron scattering experiments.

Sample environment (SE) team at the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) in J-PARC has worked on development and operation of SE equipment and devices. All the members belong to one sub-team at least, such as Cryogenic and magnet, High temperature, High pressure, Soft matter and special environment including Pulse magnet, Hydrogen environment, Light irradiation and He spin filter. Cryostats, a magnet, furnaces, a VX-6-type Paris-Edinburgh press and a prototype of a Spin-Exchange Optical Pumping (SEOP) based He spin filter for polarized neutron beam experiments are in operation. Furthermore, a prototype of compact power supply for a pulsed magnet system is currently developed. In the J-PARC Research Building, several pieces of equipment for softmatter research such as a rheometer and a gas and vapor adsorption measurement instrument have been prepared.

PLANET is a high-pressure neutron beamline constructed at pulsed-neutron source in Materials and Life Science Facility (MLF) in J-PARC. The six-axis multi-anvil press designed for time of flight (TOF) neutron diffraction experiments enables routine data collection at high pressures and high temperatures up to 10 GPa and 2000 K, respectively. To obtain clean data, the beamline is equipped with the incident slits and receiving collimators that eliminate parasitic scattering from the high-pressure cell. The high performance of the diffractometer for the resolution ( 0.6%) and the accessible d-spacing range (0.2 - 8.4 ) together with low-parasitic scattering characteristics enables precise structure determination of crystals and liquids under high pressure and temperature conditions.

Times Cited Count:12 Percentile:38.54(Chemistry, Physical)In intense laser fields, molecules are decomposed into fragments through a number of competing dissociative ionization pathways. We investigate the dissociative ionization dynamics of ethanol in intense laser fields with photoelectron-photoion coincidence momentum imaging. The channel-specific photoelectron spectra reveal the electronic states prepared just after ionization, depending both on the decomposition pathways and on the temporal profile of laser pulses.

The current status of the fundamental research for the quantum control conducted at Kansai Photon Science Institute are reported. In particular, the experimental studies on vibrational control of diatomic molecules, the nitrogen molecules and the iodine molecules, and the theoretical study on the rotational control of the diatomic molecule, the cesium iodide molecule (CsI), are introduced. For the study of vibrational control of N, the vibration selective excitation with extremely broadband white light pulses is demonstrated by tuning the time interval of a linearly chirped white light pulse pair. For the study of vibrational control of I, the direction control of stimulated impulsive Raman transition is demonstrated by changing the sign of the chirp rate. For the study of rotational control of CsI, the isotope-selective population distribution transfer is demonstrated numerically using frequency comb in the terahertz-wave region.

When molecules are exposed to intense laser fields, dissociative ionization is efficiently induced and several decomposition pathways competes. The present study aims at revealing the correlation between the electronic states just after ionization and the following dissociation process. The photoelectron-photoion coincidence momentum imaging (PEPICO-MI) technique enables us to detect photoelectrons and photoions produced in a single event simultaneously. We applied PEPICO-MI to dissociative ionization of ethanol (CHOH), whose branching ratio varies as a function of the laser pulse duration. When ethanol molecules are irradiated with a short laser pulse, photoelectron images strongly depend on the correlated product ions.
