Adsorption behavior of the group-5 elements, Nb and Ta, on cation-exchange resin was studied in mixed solution of HF and HNO as a model experiment of their heavier homologue, element 105 (dubnium, Db). Chemical reactions of these elements in the cation exchange rapidly reached the equilibrium. It was found that distribution coefficients of Nb and Ta decrease with increasing the fluoride ion concentration in the studied range of 10 - 10 M. Clear difference between Nb and Ta was observed in the variations of the distribution coefficients against the fluoride ion concentration. This would originate from their different chemical species of fluoride complexes. We propose the cation-exchange experiment of Db based on the present experimental results to understand its fluoride complex formation.

The extraction behavior of rutherfordium (Rf) into trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) from 2.0 - 7.0 M HCl solution was studied together with that of the homologues Zr and Hf. The extracted yields of Rf, Zr, and Hf increased with an increase of HCl concentration, and the sequence of their extraction was Zr Hf Rf. It is suggested that the stability of the RfCl2(TOPO) complex is lower than that of the corresponding species of the homologues.

Times Cited Count:15 Percentile:48.93(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)We report on the characteristic anion-exchange behavior of the superheavy element dubnium (Db) with atomic number Z = 105 in HF/HNO solution at the fluoride ion concentration [F] = 0.003 M. The result clearly demonstrates that the fluoro complex formation of Db is significantly different from that of the group-5 homologue Ta in the 6th period of the periodic table while the behavior of Db is similar to that of the lighter homologue Nb in the 5th period.

Times Cited Count:12 Percentile:62.36(Chemistry, Analytical)Anion-exchange behavior of the group-5 elements Nb and Ta, and their pseudo homologue Pa in HF and HF/HNO solutions was investigated by a batch method to find suitable conditions for the anion-exchange experiment of element 105 (Dubnium, Db). We determined distribution coefficients of those elements on the anion-exchange resin as a function of the F and NO concentrations. Clearly different anion-exchange behavior was observed among these elements. Based on the results, we discuss the fluoro-complex formation of each element and suggest experimental conditions for the study of fluoride complexation of Db.

Times Cited Count:28 Percentile:83.47(Physics, Nuclear)We have measured deexcitation rays for the first time in the neutron-rich nuclei of Pu and Pu produced by the (O, O) and the (O, O) reactions, respectively. The ground-state band of Pu was established up to 12 states. The systematics of the moments of inertia of Pu isotopes suggests that the deformed subshell closure disappears in these isotopes. The measurements of deexcitation rays in Pu shows a small energy spacing between neutron orbitals at , which explans the disappearance of the subshell closure.

We investigated anion-exchange behavior of Nb, Ta and Pa in HF/HNO media to find suitable experimental conditions for the study of the Db fluoride complex formation. We measured Kd values of Nb, Ta and Pa on strong basic anion exchangers in the wide range of the fluoride ion concentration, 110210M, in order to in detail investigate anionic fluoride complex formation of those elements. We have used tracer concentrations of isotopes of Nb, Ta and Pa in the experiments. Variation of the Kd values as a function of [NO] was also studied. As a result, we observed an apparent difference in the adsorption behavior of the homologues. Based on these results together with the measurement of the equilibrium time, we propose rapid online experimental condition for the study of Db fluoride.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:56.38(Physics, Nuclear)We have measured deexcitation rays in the neutron-rich nuclei of U, Pu and Cm. These nuclei were produced by the (O, O) two-neutron transfer reactions with a 200, 162 and 162 MeV O beams and a U, Pu and Cm targets, respectively, using the tandem accelerator at Tokai, Japan. The rays in residual nuclei were measured by taking coincidence with scattering particles using Si - detectors. We have identified rays in U, Pu and Cm by selecting the kinetic energies of O particles which correspond to the excitation energies in these nuclei below their neutron separation energies. The ground-state bands of U, Pu and Cm were established up to 12 states and the octupole band of U was established up to 9 state. Because the deformations of these nuclei are well developed, the moments of inertia reflect the pairing gap, which is expected to be smaller, resulting in a larger moment of inertia, at the deformed shell closure. We have found that the moment of inertia of the ground-state band of Cm is considerably larger than that of Cm. This fact supports the existence of the deformed subshell closure at in Cm isotopes. On the other hand, the moment of inertia of Pu was found to be smaller than that of Pu, which suggests that the deformed subshell closure at weakens or disappears in Pu isotopes. These results are consistent with the prediction by a cranking model calculation.

Deexcitation rays in Th and U were identified by selecting the kinetic energies of Ne using Si - detectors. The excitation energies of the first 2 states in U and Pu isotopes have local minima at , suggesting the possibility that nuclei with have a spherical shell closure of . Calculation using the Koura-Yamada single-particle potential gives an energy gap of 1.8 MeV at for U.
