The formation and the chemical characterization of single atoms of dubnium (Db, element 105), in the form of its volatile oxychloride, was investigated using the on-line gas phase chromatography technique, in the temperature range 350 - 600 $$^circ$$C. Under the exact same chemical conditions, comparative studies with the lighter homologs of group-5 in the Periodic Table clearly indicate the volatility sequence being NbOCl$$_3 > $$ TaOCl$$_3 geq$$ DbOCl$$_3$$. From the obtained experimental results, thermochemical data for DbOCl$$_3$$ were derived. The present study delivers reliable experimental information for theoretical calculations on the chemical properties of transactinides.

Initial oxidation processes of ultrathin hafnium film and hafnium disilicide islands on Si(100)-2$$times$$1 surfaces studied using core-level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

We investigated the initial oxidation of ultrathin hafnium (Hf) film on Si(100)-2$$times$$1 using photoelectron spectroscopy. Metallic Hf rapidly oxidized, transforming into hafnium dioxide (HfO$$_{2}$$) and its suboxides. The other HfSi component at the interface was nearly unreactive with O$$_{2}$$ molecules. These facts suggest that the metallic Hf component plays a vital role in the initial oxidation of the ultrathin Hf/Si(100) film. After annealing from 873 K to 973 K, the Hf suboxides in low ionic valences progressed into fully oxidized HfO$$_{2}$$. Once the annealing temperature reached c.a.1073 K, oxygen atoms were entirely removed from the ultrathin HfO$$_{2}$$/Si(100) film containing SiO$$_{2}$$ at the interface. Simultaneously, ultrathin HfO$$_{2}$$ layers changed into islands of Hf disilicide ($$i$$-HfSi$$_{2}$$) on a bare Si(100)-2$$times$$1 surface. The $$i$$-HfSi$$_{2}$$ component showed slight reactivity with O$$_{2}$$ molecules at 298 K. In contrast to the initial oxidation of clean Si(100)-2$$times$$1 surface, the dangling bonds on bare Si(100)-2$$times$$1 surface among $$i$$-HfSi$$_{2}$$ oxidized preferentially.

An isothermal gas-chromatographic (IGC) device has been developed and tested for on-line gas phase studies of volatile oxychlorides of short-lived group-5 transition metals. Radioisotopes of niobium and tantalum, produced in nuclear fusion evaporation reactions, are directly flushed into the IGC setup by an inert gas-jet. Oxychloride compounds are formed by the addition of SOCl$$_2$$ and O$$_2$$. Parameters influencing the formation and transport of NbOCl$$_3$$ and TaOCl$$_3$$ are investigated. For nuclides with half-lives ($$t_{1/2}$$) of about 30 s, an overall efficiency of 7% is obtained, rendering the IGC setup suitable for the chemical exploration of $$^{262}$$Db($$t_{1/2}$$ = 34s).

Formation and thermochemical properties of oxychlorides of niobium (Nb) and tantalum (Ta); Towards the gas-phase investigation of dubnium (Db) oxychloride

The formation of NbOCl$$_3$$ and TaOCl$$_3$$ and their adsorption behavior on quartz surfaces was explored by applying an isothermal gas-chromatographic method. Trace amounts of short-lived Nb and Ta isotopes were used. Adsorption enthalpy values ($$Delta H_{rm ads}$$) at zero surface coverage of -$$Delta H_{rm ads}$$(NbOCl$$_3$$) = 102 $$pm$$ 4 kJ/mol and -$$Delta H_{rm ads}$$(TaOCl$$_3$$) = 128 $$pm$$ 5 kJ/mol were determined by analyzing the chromatographic behavior of the Nb andTa complexes with a Monte-Carlo simulation method based on an adsorption-desorption kinetic model.By applying an empirical correlation, the experimental $$Delta H_{rm ads}$$ values were successively related to the macroscopic standard sublimation enthalpy, $$Delta H^circ _{rm subl}$$, as a measure of the volatility of each substance. The inferred sublimation enthalpies are in agreement with tabulated thermochemical values. Thus, the linear empirical correlation between $$Delta H_{rm ads}$$ and $$Delta H^circ _{rm subl}$$ for metal-oxychlorides was updated with the inclusion of the present data. According to the predicted $$Delta H^circ _{rm subl}$$(DbOCl$$_3$$), a $$Delta H_{rm ads}$$(DbOCl$$_3$$) value of 135 $$pm$$ 2 kJ/mol was extrapolated. The future accomplishment of comparative studies with DbOCl$$_3$$ under the same experimental conditions will provide valuable information on the volatility trend in Group-5 elements, together with an indication on the magnitude of relativistic effects on the electronic structure of dubnium.

In recent years gas-phase chemical studies assisted by physical pre-separation allowed for the productions and investigations of fragile single molecular species of superheavy elements. The latest highlight is the formation of very volatile hexacarbonyl compound of element 106, Sg(CO)$$_{6}$$. Following this success, second-generation experiments were performed to measure the first bond dissociation energy between the central metal atom and the surrounding ligand. The method using a tubular decomposition reactor was developed and successfully applied to short-lived Mo(CO)$$_{6}$$, W(CO)$$_{6}$$, and Sg(CO)$$_{6}$$.

Cs in clay mineral will be easy to desorb as halide. We should investigate the desorption mechanism. The clay mineral is constructed mainly by oxide with Si and Al. Thus, Si substrate and CH$$^{3}$$Cl are selected as the reaction model materials. The final purpose is to reveal the reaction for CH$$^{3}$$Cl molecular beam on Cs/Si substrate by means of XPS with synchrotron radiation (SR-XPS). As the first step, the purpose in this study is to reveal the adsorption reaction for CH$$^{3}$$Cl molecular beam on Si(100)2$$times$$1 by means of SR-XPS. The CH$$^{3}$$Cl will adsorb at CH$$^{3}$$ and/or Cl group on the Si dimer atom, respectively.

Application attempt for Cs adsorbent of the Au nanoparticle fabricated by solution plasma method

Tsukada, Chie; Yoshida, Hikaru; Ogawa, Satoshi*; Yoshigoe, Akitaka; Yagi, Shinya*; Yaita, Tsuyoshi

no journal, , 

We focus on the Au nanoparticle, which is fabricated by solution plasma method, as the adsorbent with high density and high efficiency of Cs$$^{+}$$ in solution. To remove the Cs from the solution, we attempt two methods, which are the Cs adsorption on the Au nanoparticle surface and the interaction between the Cs and the L-cysteine on Au nanoparticle. Judging from the results of SR-XPS for the sample at the latter method, we suggest the interaction between the Cs and the COOH group of L-cysteine on Au nanoparticle.

It is well-known that oxidation is an important chemical reactions in corrosion processes. Cu$$_{3}$$Pd has an attracting material due to its catalytic property and its oxidation is the important subject. In this presentation, initial oxidation processes at the Cu$$_{3}$$Pd(111) surface was studied by using molecular beams. In situ photoemission measurements were conducted using surface chemistry apparatus at BL23SU at SPring-8. Single crystal Cu$$_{3}$$Pd was used after cleaning by means of Ar ion sputtering and annealing. It was found that molecular beams facilitate oxidation compared to that for backfilling condition. Furthermore, diffusion of surface atoms seems to be driven with increasing surface temperature.

Studies on the interaction between ethylene molecule and metal surfaces are the important subject to understand catalyitic reactions such as dehydrogenation. To clarify dissociation adsorption processes of ethylene at metal surfaces, the surface analysis after exposure of ethylene to Cu(111) surface was conducted by using synchrotron radiation XPS. We found the growth of peak intensities and the peak shifted to higher binding energy side when ethylene beams with the kinetic energy of 2 eV were irradiated at the surface temperature of 300 K. The adsorption states and surface temperature dependece of reactions will be discussed.

Oxidation is a main reaction in corrosion processes and its understabding is important to develop anticorrosion materials. In this study, initial oxidation at Cu$$_{3}$$Pt(111) surface was investigated by using surface analysis apparatus at BL23SU of SPring-8. The surface oxidized by 2.3 eV molecular beams was analzyed by synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy. We confirmed that Cu L$$_{3}$$M$$_{4.5}$$M$$_{4.5}$$ AES spectrum and Cu-2p XPS spectrum show the only growth of Cu oxide whereas Pt oxide was not formed from the results of Pt-4f XPS. It was also found that the reactivity of Cu$$_{3}$$Pd(111) surface is lower than that of Cu$$_{3}$$Au(111) surface.

XPS analysis for Cs adsorbed on L-cysteine/Au nanoparticle

Tsukada, Chie*; Yoshida, Hikaru; Ogawa, Satoshi*; Yoshigoe, Akitaka; Yagi, Shinya*; Yaita, Tsuyoshi

no journal, , 

The decontamination of radioactive Cs from the soil and the water has been required in Fukushima. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are attractive candidate for Cs adsorbent. AuNPs fabricated by solution plasma method is not covered by dispersant and is almost clean. It is known that L-cysteine rapidly adsorbs and exists with high density on the AuNPs surface. The electrostatic attractive force may be useful to induce interactions between -COO- of L-cysteine and Cs$$^{+}$$ ion in aqueous solution. This study reveals the adsorption reaction between the Cs and the Cys/AuNP. Cys/AuNP has a peak and CsCl/Cys/AuNP has no peak in Na 1s spectra. Cys/AuNP has no peak and CsCl/Cys/AuNP has a peak for Cs 3$$d_{5/2}$$ spectra. From these results, Na$$^{+}$$ on Cys/AuNP is replaced by Cs$$^{+}$$ after reaction in CsCl aqueous solution. Cys/AuNP and CsCl/Cys/AuNP have a O 1s peak, where the peak position of CsCl/Cys/AuNP is higher than that ofCys/AuNP. This indicates the further polarization of -COO- by replacing Na$$^{+}$$ by Cs$$^{+}$$.

To recovery from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident, the removal of radioactive Cs from the soil and cooling water is important. An absorbent and a removal procedure of Cs are required to have properties of effective separation ability, recyclable and energy saving. Here, we focus on the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) fabricated by solution plasma method. The purpose of this study is to reveal the surface chemical states of the AuNPs fabricated by solution plasma method in CsCl aqueous solution. From the synchrotron light based analysis, it was found that the Cs-Cl-Au bondings form by the repeat of below two steps. (1) Cs and Cl atoms adsorb on AuNPs surface (Cs-Au and Cl-Au bondings). (2) Au atoms bonds around the AuNPs surface.

We developed a new experimental method combining vacuum chromatography and surface ionization, and applied this to investigate adsorption behavior of lawrencium (Lr, Z =103) on a surface of high temperature metallic tantalum. The adsorption behavior of Lr was similar to that of lutetium having low volatility among lanthanide elements. In this work, a Monte Carlo simulation code has been newly developed to study ionization and chromatographic behavior of short-lived atoms. In the presentation, we will report the details of a developed simulation code and calculation results.

Spontaneous fissions of $$^{256}$$Fm, $$^{258}$$Fm, and $$^{259}$$Lr have been measured using an $$^{254}$$Es target at the JAEA Tandem Accelerator Facility. These three nuclei show different fission properties: the asymmetric fission, the high total-kinetic-energy (TKE) symmetric fission, and the low TKE symmetric fission, and the mechanisms of these three fissions should be very different. It is of great interest to elucidate how these differences occur. We have produced $$^{256,258}$$Fm in multinucleon-transfer reactions with a $$^{254}$$Es target and $$^{18}$$O projectiles, and produced $$^{259}$$Lr in the $$^{248}$$Cm($$^{15}$$N,4n) fusion-evaporation reaction. The reaction products were mass-separated with a gas-jet-coupled on-line isotope separator, and were delivered into a rotating wheel alpha- and fission-fragment detection system. By comparing the mass and TKE distributions deduced from the present experimental data, we will discuss the differences in fission mechanism among $$^{256}$$Fm, $$^{258}$$Fm, and $$^{259}$$Lr.
