Times Cited Count：16 Percentile：70.21(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)The first ionization potential (IP
) yields information on valence electronic structure of an atom. IP values of heavy actinides beyond einsteinium (Es, Z = 99), however, have not been determined experimentally so far due to the difficulty in obtaining these elements on scales of more than one atom at a time. Recently, we successfully measured IP of lawrencium (Lr, Z = 103) using a surface ionization method. The result suggests that Lr has a loosely-bound electron in the outermost orbital. In contrast to Lr, nobelium (No, Z = 102) is expected to have the highest IP among the actinide elements owing to its full-filled 5f and the 7s orbitals. In the present study, we have successfully determined IP values of No as well as fermium (Fm, Z = 100) and mendelevium (Md, Z = 101) using the surface ionization method. The obtained results indicate that the IP value of heavy actinoids would increase monotonically with filling electrons up in the 5f orbital like heavy lanthanoids.

Based on the dependence, the ionization potential of the atom can be determined. We measured ionization efficiencies of fermium, einsteinium, mendelevium, and lawrencium by using a newly developed gas-jet coupled surface ion-source. The ionization potential of the elements have not been determined so far due to their low production rates and/or their short half-lives. Based on a relationship between the ionization efficiency and the ionization potential obtained via measurements of short-lived lanthanide isotopes, the ionization potentials of these actinide elements have been successfully determined.

Times Cited Count：14 Percentile：60.38(Instruments & Instrumentation)We have developed the surface ion-source coupled to the He/CdI gas-jet transport system to measure the ionization potential of Lr atatom-at-a-time conditions. We successfully ionized and mass-separated for the first time Lr ions by applying the present ion-source and the ISOL technique. The ionization efficiencies of Lr were estimated to be approximately 42% and 24% at 2600 K on Re and Ta surfaces, respectively. These values were higher than those of Lu in all of ionization condition. The results indicate that the ionization potential of Lr would be lower than that of Lu, 5.4 eV. Therefore, it is concluded that the surface ion-source is a promising apparatus tomeasure the first ionization potential of Lr. Using the present system, determination of the ionization potential of Lr is being performed.

In order to determine the IP of lawrencium (Lr, Z = 103) by a surface ionization technique, we have developed a thermal ion source coupled to a gas-jet transport system for an Isotope Separator On-Line (ISOL) at the JAEA tandem accelerator facility. We measured ionization efficiencies of the short-lived Lr isotope, Lr (
= 27 s), and the Lu isotope, 
Lu ( = 3.1 min), using the ion source. The mass-separated Lr ions were successfully observed. Ionization efficiencies on the Re surface at 2600 K of Lr and Lu were evaluated to be 42% and 20%, respectively. Those experimental results suggests that the ionization potential of Lr could be lower than that of Lu as expected from theoretical calculation.

In order to determine the first ionization potential of lawrencium (Lr, Z=103), we have developed an appropriate surface-ionization type ion source as a part of the JAEA-ISOL setup, which is coupled to a He/CdI gas-jet transport system. The new ion source is an improved version based on our previously used ion source, which already had a good ionization efficiencies for lanthanide. To achieve higher ionization efficiencies of low volatility elements like Lr, an additional filament was newly installed. We report, here, on the development and performance of our new gas-jet coupled surface-ionization ion source, and on the first successful ionization and mass separation of 27-s Lr produced in the 
Cf + 
B reaction.

In this work, we have determined IP value of No by using the method. In a surface ionization process, an ionization efficiency of an atom depends on its IP. To obtain a relationship between IP and ionization efficiency in present system, we measured ionization efficiencies of various short-lived isotopes. Ionization efficiency of 
No produced in the 
Cm(
C, 4n) reaction was also measured. Measured ionization efficiency of No was 0.8%, which yields IP value of No to be 6.6 eV. This value is in a good agreement with the value which has been evaluated by extrapolation from those of the lighter actinide elements, 6.65 eV.
