We investigate the intrinsic spin Nernst effect (SNE), a transverse spin current induced by temperature gradients, in topological Dirac semimetals (TDSMs) and magnetic Weyl semimetals (MWSMs) with Ising spin-orbit coupling. The intrinsic SNE is described by the spin Berry curvature, which reflects the geometric nature of TDSMs and MWSMs. We clarified that the intrinsic SNE becomes significant when the Fermi energy is near, but slightly deviates from, the energy of the point nodes. In this situation, Bloch electrons with strong spin Berry curvature contribute to the SNE while avoiding carrier compensation between electrons and holes. We found that in TDSMs with small Fermi surfaces, the spin Nernst angle, which measures the efficiency of the SNE, is larger than that observed in heavy metals. This suggests that TDSMs with small Fermi surfaces can achieve efficient heat-to-spin current conversion. In MWSMs, variation in the magnitude of the exchange coupling with magnetic moments significantly changes the SNE, affecting both the direction and magnitude of the spin Nernst current. This implies that ferromagnetic transitions can be used to reverse the spin Nernst current. These results provide the fundamentals for future topological spin caloritronics.

被引用回数:0In spontaneous fission (SF) it is found that the mass-asymmetric fission of well-known actinides suddenly changes to the symmetric fission when nucleus has a mass number larger than 257. We have measured for the first time fission-fragment mass and total-kinetic-energy (TKE) distributions of the excited compound nucleus
Md, populated in the reaction
He+
Es, using the rare isotope
Es with a short half-life,
=276 days. The fission of
Md can be interpreted as involving 3 fission modes: an mass-asymmetric mode and two modes of mass-asymmetric fissions, the latter two are manifested by different TKE values. Predominantly symmetric fission was obtained at the excitation energy of 15.0 MeV. By increasing the energy to 18.0 MeV, the asymmetric fission mode dominates. Both such a strong change of fission modes within a small increase of excitation energy and the enhancement of asymmetric split are new phenomena in fission.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:0.00(Geosciences, Multidisciplinary)The Middle Miocene was a period of tectonic transition in the southwest Japan arc. The cessation of backarc spreading at 15 Ma has been thought to have caused a pronounced change in the overall stress state from tension to compression in the arc-perpendicular direction. However, the spatial variation in stress throughout the arc, especially in the forearc, which reflects the characteristics of plate subduction, has yet to be delineated. This study investigates the stress field of the forearc region and its temporal change by applying a stress tensor inversion technique to outcrop-scale dilatant fractures. We measured the attitudes of clastic dikes and mineral veins in the Lower-Middle Miocene Tanabe Group, the paleo-forearc basin deposits in the southwestern Kii Peninsula. Results of paleostress analyses show that the Tanabe Group was influenced by (i) stress with an E-W minimum compressional axis before 15 Ma and (ii) stress with a NW-SE maximum horizontal compressional axis after 15 Ma. In contrast to conventional interpretations, we find that the former stress differed from arc-perpendicular tension in the backarc region before 16 Ma. The latter stress differed from trench-parallel tension on the southernmost Kii Peninsula. Such spatial non-uniformity of the forearc stress can be explained by the occurrence of a dynamic backstop, such as a landward area of the out-of-sequence thrust, beneath the Tanabe Group.

High temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is expected to use nuclear heat to wide range of industrial applications such as hydrogen production, which is capable of high temperature heat supply with inherent safe characteristics. JAEA started a High Temperature engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) heat application test project to develop coupling technologies between HTGR and a hydrogen production plant necessary to achieve large-scale, carbon-free hydrogen production. One of the key technologies is a safety evaluation method which can simulate an impact of explosion hazards induced in the hydrogen production plant on reactor facility because HTGR hydrogen production system contains large amount of combustible gases such as hydrogen. A computational fluid dynamics code FLACS has been sufficiently validated for dispersion and explosion of combustible gases such as hydrogen and methane worldwide, however, only few attempts have been made for validation of analysis in closed area with small space. A leak of combustible gases to the piping in HTGR hydrogen production system may occur in case of abnormal condition in hydrogen production plant and therefore an explosion in the piping must be considered. This paper describes the validation of FLACS by analyzing explosion experiments in straight piping and complex piping aiming to establish a safety evaluation method for analyzing explosions of combustible gases in piping.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear)This study investigates the dissolution behaviour of zirconium-cerium oxide solid solution ((Zr,Ce)O/(Ce,Zr)O
), which contains a redox-active metal of Ce (Ce(III/IV)) and is of particular importance in nuclear industry. The solid phases of the solid-solution were comprehensively characterised by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) with the Rietveld analysis and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) with factor analysis, indicating that the solid-solution is primarily composed of tetragonal-(Zr,Ce)O
and cubic-(Ce,Zr)O
. Water immersion of the solid-solution leads to the dissolution of the solid phase at the solid-liquid interface. The addition of a reductant to the system reduces Ce(IV) in the solid-solution to -(III) at the surface, promoting the dissolution of Ce from the solid-solution phase. The release of Ce from the solid-solution also enriches the Zr content in the remaining solid-solution phase at the surface to be more insoluble.

To overcome the issues and practical limitations associated with the stripper foil used for the charge-exchange injection (CEI) of H beam for high-intensity proton accelerators, we are studying a foil-less H
CEI by using only lasers at J-PARC RCS. To establish our principle, we are preparing for a POP (proof-of-principle) demonstration of 400 MeV H
stripping to proton by using lasers. We will use both IR and UV lasers in the process of H
stripping to protons. A prototype YAG laser system has been developed through experimental studies of 3 MeV H
neutralization. We have also developed a multi-reflection laser cavity system to sufficiently reduce the seed laser energy. We have succeeded for 32 reflections to gain on the laser energy up to 16 to obtain a neutralization fraction of 25%. To realize a perfect benefit of the cavity, we also recently developed higher efficient vacuum windows by which we can achieve the laser energy gain to almost 32, proportional to the number of reflections. As a result, the average power of the seed laser can be reduced to 1/32, which is more useful for the UV laser. The laser setup at the 400 MeV beam line is in progress to start POP experimental studies in 2024.

JAEA initiated the HTTR heat application test project coupling a hydrogen production facility to the HTTR (high temperature engineering test reactor). The project aims to establish "coupling technologies" between HTGR and hydrogen production achieving large-scale, stable and economically competitive carbon-free hydrogen production using the HTGR heat. Important considerations towards establishment of coupling technologies are development of system technologies for HTGR hydrogen production systems and components required for coupling between two facilities. This paper explains a system concept of the HTTR heat application system which can maintain safe and stable operation of the HTTR against temperature transients induced by abnormal events in a hydrogen production plant with the results of operational scheme as well as heat and mass balance of the system. Development plans for hot gas duct, high temperature isolation valves and helium gas circulators are also presented.

We are studying the laser manipulations of H ion beam for single or double neutralization for multi-dimensional applications to utilized in accelerator processes such as stripping, pulse chopping, collimation, extraction, and beam diagnostics for the present and future high-intensity proton accelerators. At J-PARC, a POP (Proof-of-Principle) demonstration 400 MeV H
stripping by using only lasers is under preparation. A prototype YAG laser system and a laser cavity system to reduce the laser power has been developed and tested for 3 MeV H
neutralization. This allows us established a new generation laser cavity system by recycling/reusing of the seed laser pulse to maximize the interaction efficiency by minimizing pulse energy of the seeder, which can be beneficial for both J-PARC and Fermilab. In addition, we are also developing non-destructive beam diagnostic systems single neutralization at lower H
energy, which will be implemented to 400 MeV and can also be easily applicable to Fermilab present Linac including future PIP-II Linac. The 400 MeV H
stripping and POP experimental study is expected to start in 2023.

被引用回数:5 パーセンタイル:51.73(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Multiple proton transfer (PT) controllable by external stimuli plays a crucial role in fundamental chemistry, biological activity, and material science. However, in crystalline systems, controlling multiple PT, which results in a distinct protonation state, remains challenging. In this study, we developed a novel tridentate ligand and iron(II) complex with a short hydrogen bond (HB) that exhibits a PT-coupled spin transition (PCST). Single-crystal X-ray and neutron diffraction measurements revealed that the positions of the two protons in the complex can be controlled by temperature and photoirradiation based on the thermal- and photoinduced PCST. The obtained results suggest that designing molecules that form short HBs is a promising approach for developing multiple PT systems in crystals.

JAEA initiated an HTTR heat application test plan to develop for coupling technology between HTGR and hydrogen production facility. The principal objective of this test plan is to establish the high safety coupling technology for coupling a hydrogen production facility to HTGR through the demonstration of a hydrogen production by the proven technology of methane steam reforming method utilizing the HTTR as a high temperature heat source. The other objective is to develop for coupling equipment such as a high temperature isolation valve, a helium gas circulator and a high temperature insulation pipe. This paper describes the overview of an HTTR heat application test plan such as a draft test schedule and test targets for the demonstration of a hydrogen production. This paper also presents basic specifications of an HTTR heat application test facility such as the HTTR modification strategy, overall system configuration and heat and mass balance at rated test operation for the demonstration of a hydrogen production. Furthermore, the operation plan during the normal start-up and shut-down processes is proposed.
