The quasi-static superelastic responses and hierarchical martensite transformation from body-centered cubic (BCC) to face-centered cubic (FCC) under dynamic impact in Fe $_{42}$ Mn $_{34}$ Al $_{15}$ Ni $_{7.5}$ Ti $_{1.5}$ alloys were investigated. Polycrystalline and oligocrystalline alloys were produced through solution heat treatment and cyclic heat treatment processes, respectively. The results show the volume fraction of residual martensite for oligocrystalline alloys is lower, which exhibits better superelastic responses compared with polycrystalline alloys. Dynamic impact tests indicate that, despite the weakening of the grain boundary strengthening effect, the ultimate strength of the oligocrystalline alloys closely matches that of the polycrystalline alloys under dynamic impact. The martensite transformation of the FeMnAlNiTi alloy is characterized as hierarchical under dynamic impact, and increasing strain rates and grain sizes can enhance the BCC FCC martensite transformation, resulting in higher martensite phase fractions for oligocrystalline alloys. The increase in ultimate strength is attributed to the dynamic Hall-Petch effect introduced by more martensite phase interfaces under dynamic impact.

TbMn $_{6}$ Sn $_{6}$ is a correlated topological magnet with a Mn-based kagome lattice, in which a Chern gap opens at the Dirac point at low temperatures. The magnetic moment direction of the ferrimagnetic order changes from in the kagome plane to the out-of-plane upon cooling, which is essential for generating the Chern gap, but the underlying mechanism for the spin reorientation remains elusive. Here, we investigate the spin-reorientation transition in TbMn $_{6}$ Sn $_{6}$ using neutron scattering. We provide direct evidence for the spin-reorientation transition and unveil the coexistence of two Tb modes at 200 K. To account for these results, we put forward a model based on SU(N) spin-wave theory, in which there is a temperature evolution of the ground state Tb orbitals, driven by the crystalline electric field, single-ion anisotropy, and exchange interactions between Tb and Mn ions. Our findings shed light on the complex magnetism of TbMn $_{6}$ Sn $_{6}$ , despite its relatively simple ground state magnetic structure, and provide insights into the mechanisms for tuning magnetic topological materials.

Magnon polarons are novel elementary excitations possessing hybrid magnonic and phononic signatures, and are responsible for many exotic spintronic and magnonic phenomena. Despite long-term sustained experimental efforts in chasing for magnon polarons, direct spectroscopic evidence of their existence is hardly observed. Here, we report the direct observation of magnon polarons using neutron spectroscopy on a multiferroic Fe $_{2}$ Mo $_{3}$ O $_{8}$ possessing strong magnon-phonon coupling. Specifically, below the magnetic ordering temperature, a gap opens at the nominal intersection of the original magnon and phonon bands, leading to two separated magnon-polaron bands. Each of the bands undergoes mixing, interconverting and reversing between its magnonic and phononic components. We attribute the formation of magnon polarons to the strong magnon-phonon coupling induced by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Intriguingly, we find that the band-inverted magnon polarons are topologically nontrivial. These results uncover exotic elementary excitations arising from the magnon-phonon coupling, and offer a new route to topological states by considering hybridizations between different types of fundamental excitations.

Coherent coupling in magnon based hybrid system has many potential applications in quantum information processing. Magnons can propagate in magnetically ordered materials without any motion of electrons, offering a unique method to build low-power-consumption devices and information channels free of heat dissipation. In this article, we demonstrate the coherent propagation of hybridized modes between spin waves and Love surface acoustic waves in a multiferroic BiFeO $_{3}$ and ferromagnetic La $_{0.67}$ Sr $_{0.33}$ MnO $_{3}$ based heterostructure. The magneto-elastic coupling enables a giant enhancement of strength of the hybridized mode by a factor of 26 compared to that of the pure spin waves. A short wavelength down to 250 nm is demonstrated for the hybridized mode, which is desirable for nanoscale acousto-magnonic applications. Our combined experimental and theoretical analyses represent an important step towards the coherent control in hybrid magnonics, which may inspire the study of magnon-phonon hybrid systems for coherent information processing and manipulation.

新たに開発した、Al $_{2}$ O $_{3}$ を形成する高Mnオーステナイト酸化物分散強化鋼(ODS)について、飽和酸素濃度下の鉛ビスマス中450 $^{circ}$ Cにて、430時間の浸漬試験を行った。非ODS鋼と比較して、ODS鋼は腐食や表面剥離に対して優れた耐性を有していた。本ODS鋼の高密度に存在する粒界が、金属元素の外方への拡散のチャネルとして機能し、元の表面から内部へ連続したCr $_{2}$ O $_{3}$ スケールを形成し、また、外部(Fe,Mn)酸化物スケールと内部Cr $_{2}$ O $_{3}$ スケールによる酸化防止と共に、Al拡散の促進は、ODS-7Al鋼中で連続的なAlリッチ酸化物スケールの形成をもたらしたため、その優れた耐食性に寄与したと考えられる。

Although considerable progress has been made in the theoretical understanding of the low-dimensional frustrated quantum magnets, experimental realizations of a well-established scaling analysis are still scarce. This is particularly true for the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic triangular lattices. Owing to the small exchange strength, the newly discovered compound Na $_{2}$ BaCo(PO $_{4}$ ) $_{2}$ provides a rare opportunity for clarifying the quantum criticality in an ideal triangular lattice with quantum spin S=1/2. In addition to the establishment of the complete phase diagrams, the spin Hamiltonian with a negligible interplane interaction has been determined through the spin wave dispersion in the polarized state, which is consistent with the observation of a two-dimensional quantum critical point with the Bose-Einstein condensation of diluted free bosons.

The IAEA's model testing programmes (1988-2019) have included a series of Working Groups concerned with modelling radioactive contamination in urban environments. This paper describes the exercises conducted during the MODARIA I (2012-2015) and MODARIA II (2016-2019) programmes. These exercises have included short-range and mid-range atmospheric dispersion exercises based on data from field tests or tracer studies, hypothetical urban dispersion exercises, and an exercise based on data collected after the Fukushima accident. Improvement of model capabilities will lead to improvements in assessing various contamination scenarios (real or hypothetical), and in turn, to improved decision-making and communication with the public following a nuclear or radiological emergency.

5つの最新の線量評価モデルを利用して、福島第一原子力発電所事故により汚染された都市部の住民の線量を評価・比較した。モデル間での評価結果の比較に加え、モデルによる評価結果と実際の測定値との比較も実施した。また、評価方法として、確率論的方法と決定論的方法の双方を採用し、方法の違いによる評価結果の違いについても比較した。確率論的方法による屋内外の作業員の線量分布の予測は、実際の測定値とよく一致した。また、国際放射線防護委員会が提案した概念に基づき、代表的な人の線量を評価するためにモデルを適用したところ、決定論的アプローチで得られた代表的な人の線量は、確率論的アプローチで得られた線量よりも常に高いことが明らかとなった。なお、本研究は、国際原子力機関におけるMODARIA I及びIIを通じて行われたものである。

Neutron spectroscopy evidence on the dual nature of magnetic excitations in a van der Waals metallic ferromagnet Fe $_{2.75}$ GeTe $_{2}$

In the local or itinerant extreme, magnetic excitations can be described by the Heisenberg model which treats electron spins as localized moments, or by the itinerant-electron model where the exchange interaction between electrons leads to unequal numbers of electrons with up and down spins. However, the nature of the magnetic excitations has been elusive when both local moments and itinerant electrons are present in the intermediate range. Using inelastic neutron scattering, we provide direct spectroscopic evidence on the coexistence of and interplay between local moments and itinerant electrons in a van der Waals metallic ferromagnet Fe $_{2.72}$ GeTe $_{2}$ , which can sustain tunable room-temperature ferromagnetism down to the monolayer limit. We find that there exist ferromagnetic spin-wave excitations dispersing from the zone center at low energies resulting from local moments and a columnlike broad continuum at the zone boundary at high energies up to over 100 meV resulting from itinerant electrons. Unlike the two-dimensional crystal structure, the low-energy mode exhibits a three-dimensional nature, and the high-energy mode also has an out-of-plane dependence. Both modes persist well above the Curie temperature of 160 K. Our neutron spectroscopic data reveal that the low-energy spin waves at 100 K are more coherent than those at 4 K, which is evidence of the weakening of the Kondo screening at high temperatures. These results unambiguously demonstrate the coexistence of local moments and itinerant electrons and the Kondo effect between these two components in Fe $_{2.72}$ GeTe $_{2}$ . Such behaviors are generally expected in heavy-fermion systems with heavy electrons but are rarely clearly observed in materials with light electrons. These findings shed light on the understanding of magnetism in transition-metal compounds.

Magnons can transfer information in metals and insulators without Joule heating, and therefore are promising for low-power computation. The on-chip magnonics however suffers from high losses due to limited magnon decay length. In metallic thin films, it is typically on the tens of micrometre length scale. Here, we demonstrate an ultra-long magnon decay length of up to one millimetre in multiferroic/ferromagnetic BiFeO $_{3}$ (BFO)/La $_{0.67}$ Sr $_{0.33}$ MnO $_{3}$ (LSMO) heterostructures at room temperature. This decay length is attributed to a magnon-phonon hybridization and is more than two orders of magnitude longer than that of bare metallic LSMO. The long-distance modes have high group velocities of 2.5 km $^{-1}$ as detected by time-resolved Brillouin light scattering. Numerical simulations suggest that magnetoelastic coupling via the BFO/LSMO interface hybridizes phonons in BFO with magnons in LSMO. Our results provide a solution to the long-standing issue on magnon decay lengths in metallic magnets and advance the bourgeoning field of hybrid magnonics.

Dimerized magnets forming alternating Heisenberg chains exhibit quantum coherence and entanglement and thus can find potential applications in quantum information and computation. However, magnetic systems typically undergo thermal decoherence at finite temperatures. Here, we show inelastic neutron scattering results on an alternating antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic chain compound Na $_{2}$ Cu $_{2}$ TeO $_{6}$ that the excited quasiparticles can counter thermal decoherence and maintain strong correlations at elevated temperatures. At low temperatures, we observe clear dispersive singlet-triplet excitations arising from the dimers formed along the crystalline -axis. The excitation gap is of 18 meV and the bandwidth is about half of the gap. The band top energy has a weak modulation along the [100] direction, indicative of a small interchain coupling. The gap increases while the bandwidth decreases with increasing temperature, leading to a strong reduction in the available phase space for the triplons. As a result, the Lorentzian-type energy broadening becomes highly asymmetric as the temperature is raised. These results are associated with a strongly correlated state resulting from hard-core constraint and quasiparticle interactions. We consider these results to be not only evidence for strong correlations at finite temperatures in Na $_{2}$ Cu $_{2}$ TeO $_{6}$ , but also for the universality of the strongly correlated state in a broad range of quantum magnetic systems.

We predict that surface acoustic waves are generated preferentially in one direction in a heterostructure of a thin magnetic film on a non-magnetic substrate. The non-reciprocity arises from magneto-elastic coupling and magneto-rotation coupling, the former being dominant for YIG/GGG heterostructures. For YIG films thinner than about 100 nm, the surface acoustic wave amplitude is nearly unidirectional at certain angles of the in-plane equilibrium magnetisation. We compute the full magnetic field dependence of the effect for a selected device.

We perform thermodynamic and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements to study the lattice dynamics (phonons) of a cubic collinear antiferromagnet Cu $_{3}$ TeO $_{6}$ which hosts topological spin excitations (magnons). While the specific heat and thermal conductivity results show that the thermal transport is dominated by phonons, the deviation of the thermal conductivity from a pure phononic model indicates that there is a strong coupling between magnons and phonons. In the INS measurements, we find a mode in the excitation spectra at 4.5 K, which exhibits a slight downward dispersion around the Brillouin zone center. This mode disappears above the Nel temperature and thus cannot be a phonon. Furthermore, the dispersion is distinct from that of a magnon. Instead, it can be explained by the magnon-polaron mode, collective excitations resulting from the hybridization between magnons and phonons. We consider the suppression of the thermal conductivity and emergence of the magnon-polaron mode to be evidence for magnon-phonon coupling in Cu $_{3}$ TeO $_{6}$ .

ディラック物質は量子現象と共にキャリアの役割を探索するのに良い系で、磁気ワイル半金属のSr $_{1-x}$ Mn $_{1-y}$ Sb $_{2}$ はワイルフェルミオンとマグノンの関係を研究する良い舞台である。本研究では、Sr $_{1-x}$ Mn $_{1-y}$ Sb $_{2}$ の単結晶の中性子非弾性散乱実験を行い、磁性Mn層の分散は約76meVまで広がり、層間の分散は6meVの狭いバンド幅を持つことを見出した。また、これらの実験結果はハイゼンベルグ・スピンハミルトニアンを用いた線形スピン波理論によって再現可能である。本研究では、ワイルフェルミオンとマグノンが共存しているにもかかわらず、Sr $_{1-x}$ Mn $_{1-y}$ Sb $_{2}$ 中のワイルフェルミオンが磁気ダイナミクスに影響を与えているという明確な証拠は得られなかった。これは、ワイルフェルミオンとマグノンがSb層とMn層に別々に存在し、この擬二次元性による層間結合の弱さに起因するもの考えられる。

For the purpose of future visualization of the flow field in superfluid helium-4, clusters of the triplet state excimer $^{4}$ He $_{2}$ $^{ast}$ are generated along the micro-scale recoil tracks of the neutron-absorption reaction n + $^{3}$ He $^{3}$ T + p. This reaction is induced by neutron irradiation of the $^{3}$ He fraction contained in natural isotopic abundance liquid helium with neutron beams either from the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex, Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (J-PARC)/Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility or from the Kyoto University Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science. These $^{4}$ He $_{2}$ $^{ast}$ clusters are expected to be ideal tracers of the normal-fluid component in superfluid helium with several advantageous properties. Evidence of the excimer generation is inferred by detection of laser induced fluorescence emitted from the $^{4}$ He $_{2}$ $^{ast}$ clusters excited by a purpose-built short pulse gain-switched titanium:sapphire (Ti:sa) laser operating at a wavelength of 905 nm. The setup and performance characteristics of the laser system including the Ti:sa and two continuous wave re-pumping lasers are described. Detection at the fluorescence wavelength of 640 nm is performed by using optical bandpass filtered photomultiplier tubes (PMT). Electrical noise in the PMT acquisition traces could successfully be suppressed by post-processing with a simple algorithm. Despite other laser-related backgrounds, the excimer was clearly identified by its fluorescence decay characteristics. Production of the excimer was found to be proportional to the neutron flux, adjusted via insertion of different collimators into the neutron beam. These observations suggest that the apparatus we constructed does function in the expected manner and, therefore, has the potential for groundbreaking turbulence research with superfluid helium.

Fine structure in the decay of $^{223}$ U was observed in the fusion-evaporation reaction $^{187}$ Re( $^{40}$ Ar,p3n) by using fast digital pulse processing technique. Two -decay branches of $^{223}$ U feeding the ground state and 244 keV excited state of $^{219}$ Th were identified by establishing the decay chain $^{223}$ U $^{219}$ Th $^{215}$ Ra $^{211}$ Rn. The -particle energy for the ground-state to ground-state transition of $^{223}$ U was determined to be 8993(17) keV, 213 keV higher than the previous value, the half-life was updated to be 62 $^{+14}_{-10} mu$ s. Evolution of nuclear structure for =131 even- isotones from Po to U was discussed in the frameworks of nuclear mass and reduced -decay width, a weakening octupole deformation in the ground state of $^{223}$ U relative to its lighter isotones $^{219}$ Ra and $^{211}$ Th was suggested.

For flow visualization study of quantum turbulence in superfluid $^{4}$ He, $^{4}$ He $_2^{*}$ excimers are unique tracers which follow only normal-fluid component flow above 1 K. To generate detectable small $^{4}$ He $_2^{*}$ clouds (clusters) required for full-space velocity field measurements, we have adopted a new method based on neutron absorption reaction of $^{3}$ He impurities in $^{4}$ He and conducted proof-of-principle experiments. Generation of the $^{4}$ He $_2^{*}$ excimers was detected by laser-induced fluorescence using photomultiplier tubes. The fluorescence was observed to increase proportionally to the neutron flux, suggesting that a sufficient amount of $^{4}$ He $_2^{*}$ excimers were generated by neutrons. We also estimated the number of $^{4}$ He $_2^{*}$ excimers possibly generated by -rays and found that the relevant contribution was less than 40%. Thus, the majority of the $^{4}$ He $_2^{*}$ excimers was confirmed to be generated via n- $^{3}$ He absorption reactions.

冷却は現代社会では、世界における25-30%の電力が空調や食料保存に用いられるように、重要である。従来の気化、圧縮で冷却を行う方法は、温暖化などの観点から限界が来ている。有望な代替手段として固体の熱量効果を用いた冷却方法が注目を集めている。しかしながら、この方法は、現在候補に挙げられている物質ではエントロピー変化の小ささや巨大な磁場を必要とするところなどから性能に限界がある。そこで我々は柔粘性結晶における圧力誘起の相転移で冷却が起こる巨大圧力熱量効果を報告する。柔粘性結晶の一つであるネオペンチルグリコールのエントロピー変化は室温近傍において単位キログラム、単位温度あたり、約389ジュールであった。圧力下の中性子散乱実験の結果から、そのような巨大圧力熱量効果は分子配向の非秩序化、巨大な圧縮率、極めて非線形性の強い格子ダイナミクスの組み合わせに由来することが明らかになった。我々の研究により、柔粘性結晶における巨大圧力熱量効果発現の微視的機構が明らかとなり、次世代の固体を使った冷却技術の確立に筋道を付けることができた。
