This study aimed to visualise the distribution of chloride in the corroded crevice of stainless steel and to evaluate the chloride content quantitatively. Crevice corrosion tests were carried out using Cl
, a radioactive isotope of chloride, as a tracer in NaCl test solutions. After crevice corrosion tests, stainless steel specimens were placed on an imaging plate. The imaging plate was sensitised by
-ray emitted by
Cl
adhering to the crevice. As a result, the chloride distribution in the corroded area inside the crevice was visualised. A calibration curve for the amount of
Cl
was obtained from the relationship between the time of photosensitivity to
-ray emitted by
Cl
and the luminance of the imaging plate. The chloride content in the corroded crevice was quantitatively evaluated based on the calibration curve. These visualisation and quantitative evaluation methods were also applied to tests in which specimens were left in pure water after crevice corrosion tests, and the behaviour of chloride in crevice corrosion was discussed.

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:57.35(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Injecting high-energy heavy ions in the electronic stopping regime into solids can create cylindrical damage zones called latent ion tracks. Although these tracks form in many materials, none have ever been observed in diamond, even when irradiated with high-energy GeV uranium ions. Here we report the first observation of ion track formation in diamond irradiated with 2-9 MeV C fullerene ions. Depending on the ion energy, the mean track length (diameter) changed from 17 (3.2) nm to 52 (7.1) nm. High resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR-STEM) indicated the amorphization in the tracks, in which
-bonding signal from graphite was detected by the electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS).

Since both techniques are used to study the dynamics of proteins and hydrated water, it is important to review the advantages and disadvantages of both techniques and the relevant literature. To the best of our knowledge, there is no review of both methods, and we believe that this review is of high value.

During the first year of the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, a total of about 45,000 employees of Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) left their original workplaces to engage in telephone counseling, assistance of temporary return, and environmental monitoring. In particular, the staff who worked on the telephone counseling service, which directly contacted the residents, suffered from the stress associated with emotional labor. Systematic mental health care to the staff who engaged in these tasks was provided them in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories of the JAEA. This paper considers this activity as a concrete example of "support for supporters" and discusses the mental health of the staff who provide support to the residents in a nuclear disaster.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We have studied the microscopic magnetic properties, the nature of the 130 K phase transition, and the ground state in the recently synthesized compound CeRh
Ga by use of
Ga nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR). The NQR spectra clearly show an unusual phase transition at
K, yielding a splitting of the high-temperature single NQR line into two well-resolved NQR lines, providing evidence for two crystallographically inequivalent Ga sites. The NQR frequencies are in good agreement with fully relativistic calculations of the band structure. Our NQR results indicate the absence of magnetic or charge order down to 0.3 K. The temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate
shows three distinct regimes, with onset temperatures at
and 2 K. The temperature-independent
, observed between
and 2 K, crosses over to a Korringa process,
, below
2 K, which evidences a rare two-ion Kondo scenario: The system evolves into a dense Kondo coherent state below 2.0 and 0.8 K probed by the two different Ga sites.

Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:69.49(Chemistry, Physical)The hydrogen absorption and diffusion mechanisms on cube-shaped Pd nanoparticles (NPs) which are important hydrogen-storage materials were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and DFT calculations. In the surface region, hydrogen absorption showed almost similar behavior regardless of the NPs size. It was found that the octahedral sites are more favorable than the tetrahedral sites for hydrogen occupation. We also clarified that the hydrogen atoms absorbing on the smaller-sized Pd NPs diffuse to the subsurface more actively because of the weakened Pd-H bond by the surface disordering, which plays an important role in hydrogen adsorption at a low H pressure.

Water is an indispensable solvent for living things. 60% of our body is composed of water, the lack of which causes lots of fatal problems. It has also been known that protein function is performed only when it accompanies water molecules around the surface, i.e. hydration water molecules. Therefore, it is essential to understand how water and biological component interact with each other in the view point of structure and dynamics. Freezing is a fundamental and simple phenomenon of water, and thus can be used as a probe for the purpose. Furthermore, preservation of cells and proteins under low temperature is crucial for numerous applications, which in turn triggers a myriad of undesirable consequences because of the freezing.

The nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS) of Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) was a typical one of the disastrous damages that induced evacuation of the residents around the NPS, which was triggered by the hugest earthquake and associated tsunami. This paper summarized early responses of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), especially of its Nuclear Emergency Assistance and Training Center (NEAT) to the off-site emergencies associated with the TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi NPS. The paper addressed activities of emergency preparedness of the NEAT before 2011 in relevant to the TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi NPS, the situation of the NEAT on March 11, 2011, and its early responses to the related off-site emergencies including those caused by the accident at the TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi NPS. The paper also discussed issues associated with complex disasters.
