Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：45.99(Nuclear Science & Technology)Liquid droplet entrainment by a high-speed gas jet is a key phenomenon for evaluation of sodium-water reaction. In this study, a visualization experiment for liquid droplet entrainment by an air jet in a water pool by using frame-straddling method was carried for development of an entrainment model in a sodium-water reaction analysis code. This experiment successfully provided clear images that captured generation and movement of droplets. Droplet diameter and moving speed were obtained at different locations and gas jet velocities from image processing. The measured data contributes phenomena elucidation and model development.

Under the framework of Broader Approach (BA) agreement between Japan and Euratom, IFMIF/EVEDA project was launched in 2007 to validate the key technologies to realize IFMIF. The most crucial technology to realize IFMIF is two set of linear accelerator each producing 125mA/CW deuterium ion beams up to 40MeV. The prototype accelerator, whose target is 125mA/CW deuterium ion beam acceleration up to 9MeV, is being developed in International Fusion Research Energy Center (IFERC) in Rokkasho, Japan. The injector developed in CEA Saclay was delivered in Rokkasho in 2014, and is under commissioning. Up to now, 100keV/120mA/CW hydrogen ion beams and 100keV/90mA/CW duty deuterium ion beams are successfully produced with a low beam emittance of 0.21 
.mm.mrad (rms, normalized). Delivery of RFQ components will start in 2015, followed by the installation of RF power supplies in 2015.

Times Cited Count：60 Percentile：95.24(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), presently in its Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities (EVEDA) phase under the frame of the Broader Approach Agreement between Europe and Japan, has accomplished in summer 2013, on schedule, its EDA phase with the release of the engineering design report of the IFMIF plant, which is here described. Many improvements of the design from former phases are implemented, particularly a reduction of beam losses and operational costs thanks to the superconducting accelerator concept. In the Test Cell design, the separation of the irradiation modules from the shielding block gaining irradiation flexibility and enhancement of the remote handling equipment reliability and cost reduction. The released IFMIF Intermediate Engineering Design Report, which could be complemented if required concurrently with the outcome of the on-going EVA carried out since the entry into force of IFMIF/EVEDA in June 2007, will allow the decision making on its construction and/or serve as the basis for the definition of the next step, aligned with the evolving needs of our fusion community.

Times Cited Count：45 Percentile：72.63(Multidisciplinary Sciences)The development of organic semiconducting nanowires that act as charge carrier transport pathways in flexible and lightweight nano-electronics is a major scientific challenge. We report on the fabrication of fullerene nanowires that is universally applicable to its derivatives (pristine C
, methanofullerenes of C
and C
, and indene C bis-adduct). Nanowires with radii of 8
11 nm were formed via a chain polymerization reaction induced by a high-energy ion beam. Fabrication of a poly(3-hexylthiophene): [6,6]-phenyl C butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic cell including PCBM nanowires with precisely-controlled length and density demonstrates how application of this methodology can improve the power conversion efficiency of these inverted cells.

Times Cited Count：24 Percentile：72.16(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We have succeeded in growing a high-quality single crystal of UCuSi with the tetragonal structure by the Sn-flux method and measured the electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization and specific heat. UCuSi is found to order antiferromagnetically below 
= 106 K, and follows a successive ferromagnetic ordering at 
= 100 K. The magnetic properties are highly anisotropic, reflecting the crystal structure. An easy-axis of magnetization is found to be the [001] direction (
-axis) both in the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic phases, while the [100] direction (
-axis) corresponds to the hard-axis in magnetization. The magnetization curve in the antiferromagnetic phase indicates a clear metamagnetic transition at a low field of about 1 kOe and changes smoothly into a ferromagnetic magnetization curve below = 100 K. The saturation moment is determined as 1.75
/U at 2 K. The electronic specific heat coefficient is also determined as 20 mJ/K
mol.

A fusion relevant neutron source is strongly desired for blanket functional tests and material tests toward DEMO. The International Fusion Material Test Facility (IFMIF) is one of the most promising candidates of the fusion relevant neutron source. Here, a plan is presented for a new neuron source using an IFMIF/EVEDA prototype accelerator with 125 mA and 9 MeV D
beam and a lithium test loop for the IFMIF target facility. Expected performances of three options (9 MeV and upgrading to 26 or 40 MeV) are discussed. The option of 40 MeV is desirable, however, the option of 26 MeV is acceptable for blanket functional tests and material tests.

The IFMIF/EVEDA activity has successfully demonstrated a stable lithium flow in the EVEDA Lithium Test Loop and produced preliminary scientific results for the Injector, one of the most challenging parts of the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc). Discussions by the BASC are taking place on the possibility of an extension to fully test the reliability of the LIPAc over a sufficiently long time. Recently there have been assessments in the EU and JA which have concluded that there is a need to have access around 2025 to a facility producing a fusion-like neutron spectrum with a minimum flux about half that of IFMIF- this has been given the name DONES in EU and A-FNS in JA. In this presentation, current status and achievements of the IFMIF/EVEDA was presented as well as the Ideas of the neutron source for the post-BA activities from EU and Japan.

The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) aims to provide an accelerator-based, D-Li neutron source to produce high energy neutrons at sufficient intensity and irradiation volume for DEMO reactor materials qualification. The IFMIF/EVEDA project, which is part of the Broader Approach (BA) agreement between Japan and EU, has the mission to work on the engineering design of IFMIF and to validate the main technological challenges. The prototype accelerator being developed in the IFMIF-EVEDA project consists of an injector, a RFQ accelerator, and a part of superconducting Linac. The design of the cryoplant for SRF-linac has been already completed and it will be started to install to the facility from coming September after the licensing. This article describes the cryoplant for the IFMIF/EVEDA prototype accelerator facility.
