Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：0.00(Chemistry, Analytical)In this study, we successfully applied a transition-edge sensor (TES) spectrometer as a detector for microbeam X-ray measurements from a synchrotron X-ray light source to determine uranium (U) distribution at the micro-scale and its chemical species in biotite obtained from the U mine. It is difficult to separate the fluorescent X-ray of the U L
line at 13.615 keV from that of the Rb K line at 13.395 keV in the X-ray fluorescence spectrum with an energy resolution of approximately 220 eV of the conventional silicon drift detector (SDD). Meanwhile, the fluorescent X-rays of U L and Rb K were fully separated by TES with 50 eV energy resolution at the energy of around 13 keV. The successful peak separation by TES led to an accurate mapping analysis of trace U in micro-X-ray fluorescence measurements and a decrease in the signal-to-background ratio in micro-X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy.

For the research and development of the nuclear waste disposal concept suitable to the pyrochemical processing system and its performance evaluation, the iron-phosphate glass is examined as an alternative waste form for high level waste generated from electro-refining process. In order to enhance the waste element content in the glass matrix and improve the durability of the waste form, optimization experiments of the glass composition were carried out and the effect of additional other transition metal oxides was found out in this study.

Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：42.89(Physics, Multidisciplinary)CeRuSi is a paramagnetic heavy fermion compound with the electronic specific heat coefficient 
of 350 mJ/mol K
. When a magnetic field is applied along the [001] direction of its tetragonal ThCrSi structure, it exhibits metamagnetic transition at 7.7 T. On the other hand, when a magnetic field is applied in the (001) plane, metamagnetic transition does not occur. This magnetic anisotropy is maintained to lower Ce concentration samples. By replacing Ce with La, CeRuSi changes to antiferromagnet at 
0.91 and finally to normal paramagnet of LaRuSi. In very low Ce concentration samples, the impurity Kondo effect is observed. The Kondo temperature of the 
= 0.02 sample is about 1 K. We have successfully observed all the dHvA oscillations in the dilute Ce concentration samples with fields in the (001) plane. Moreover, we have observed the variation of the dHvA oscillations with temperature crossing the Kondo temperature.

Irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) is a degradation phenomenon caused by synergy of neutron radiation, aqueous environment and stress on in-core materials, and it is an important issue in accordance with increase of aged light water reactors. Isolating crack initiation stage from crack growth stage is very useful for the evaluation of the IASCC behavior. Hence facility for in-situ observation during slow strain rate test (SSRT) for irradiated material was developed. As performance demonstrations of the facility, tensile test with in-situ observation and SSRT without observation were carried out using unirradiated type 304 stainless steel in 561 K water at 9 MPa. The following were confirmed from the results. (1) Handling, observation and recording of specimen can be operated using manipulators in the hot cell. (2) In-situ observation can be performed in pressurized high temperature water and flat sheet type specimen is suitable for the in-situ observation. (3) Test condition can be kept constantly and data can be obtained automatically for long test period.

The reduction of uranium on biotite was studied to obtain insight into the immobilization of uranium in the environment. The chemical species of uranium in biotite were studied using a superconducting transition edge sensor and an X-ray emission spectrometer to remove interference from rubidium in biotite. As a result, the speciation of uranium in biotite collected from former uranium deposits was possible. The XANES spectra of the biotite indicated that the uranium in the biotite was partially reduced.

Surface structures of iron phosphate glasses (IPG) are investigated in order to know the origin of the high chemical durability using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In this study, several IPG samples in which a part of iron oxide are replaced by other transition metal oxides are prepared and subjected to the chemical durability test. Surface structures are investigated before and after the durability test and the information on the structural changes are obtained.

We have performed the de Haas - van Alphen (dHvA) effect measurements in CeLaRuSi with magnetic fields in the (001) plane. All the oscillations corresponding to those in LaRuSi can be observed in low Ce concentration samples and the evolution of the Fermi surface properties with x is found to depend strongly on the Fermi surface sheet. We will argue that the evolution can be attributed to anisotropic hybridization of the f electron with conduction electrons and resultant delocalization of the f electron.

Biotite is known as a host phase that retains uranium (U) in uranium deposits at Ningyo-Toge and Tono, and it is expected that the distribution of U in biotite will provide insight into the concentration and long-term immobilization of U. However, biotite contains rubidium (Rb), which interferes with X-ray fluorescence analysis, making it difficult to accurately determine the distribution of U-Rb in biotite by measurement using a conventional solid state detector (SSD). In this study, we developed a method to use a transition edge sensor (TES) as a detector in microbeam X-ray fluorescence analysis, which enables us to detect X-ray fluorescence with an energy resolution of about 20 eV and to obtain a Rb K line at 13.373 keV and a U L line at 13.612 keV can be completely separated. Therefore,the developed method enables us to accurately determine the distribution of U-Rb in biotite.
