A Neodymium Iron Boron (Nd-Fe-B) sintered magnet is the most powerful permanent magnet among the commercially available ones. Because of the low $$T_{c}$$, the coercivity of this magnet rapidly reduces above the room temperature. It is well known that substitution of dysprosium (Dy) for a part of Nd recovers the coercivity at the high temperatures. There are two key parameters to enhance the coercivity of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets without the addition of Dy: grain refinement of microstructure in the magnets, and the microstructural control at the interface between Nd$$_{2}$$Fe$$_{14}$$B and Nd-rich phases surrounding the main phase. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is very powerful tool to investigate such internal structures. We performed SANS measurements of the Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets using unpolarized and polarized neutrons on SANS-J-II installed at JRR-3. The information is essential to the achievement of the high-coercivity Dy-free Nd-Fe-B sintered magnet.

Formation of liquid crystalline phases in colloidal suspensions of K$$_{4}$$Nb$$_{6}$$O$$_{17}$$ nanosheet

Two new experimental evidences were obtained in lyotropic liquid crystalline (LC) phase behavior consisting of a model charged colloidal platelike particle system yielded from layered niobate crystal of K$$_{4}$$Nb$$_{6}$$O$$_{17}$$. Firstly, the effect of mean lateral size ($$overline{D}$$$$_{lat}$$) of the particle was examined at a constant volume fraction of the particle ($$phi$$) where a LC phase coexisted with an isotropic (I) phase. The coexisting LC phase was abruptly transformed from nematic to lamellar (L) as $$overline{D}$$$$_{lat}$$ was decreased. Secondly, the $$phi$$ dependence of the interparticle distance (d) was examined along the I-L transition. In the coexistence region, d showed nearly the same value between those two phases and varied with $$phi$$, being out of the usual lever rule.

A Combined method of small-angle neutron scattering and neutron radiography to visualize water in operating fuel cell over a wide length scale from nano to millimeter

In order to visualize water generated in an operating polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC), a neutron radiography (NR) apparatus, composed of a scintillator, optical mirrors and a CCD camera, was installed at a sample position of the focusing and polarized neutron small-angle scattering (SANS) spectrometer (SANS-J-II) at research reactor JRR-3. By combining SANS and NR, we aim to cover a wide length scale from nanometer to millimeter. The new method succeeded in detecting a spatial distribution of the water generated in individual cell elements; NR detected the water in a gas diffusion layer and a flow-field, whereas SANS quantitatively determines the water content in a membrane electrode assembly (MEA).
