Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:84.71(Physics, Applied)Electron-positron momentum distribution obtained through the Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation measurement is very useful for identifying defects in materials. For the detailed analysis of Doppler broadening spectrum, precise theoretical calculation is needed. It is pointed out that the pseudo-potential method has a problem in the calculation of electron wavefunction near core region. To avoid this difficulty, some all-electron manner should be employed. We thus calculated the Doppler broadening spectra based on the electronic state calculation by the projector-augmented wave method and compared them with experimental spectra.

To use spin-polarized positrons in the future materials science, we develop a spin-polarized positron beam. The spin-polarization increases with the Q-value of beta-plus emitter. We thus develop a Ge-
Ga positron source. We irradiate high energy protons to the
Ga stable isotope and obtain
Ge-
Ga through the nuclear reaction. We report the optimum condition of proton irradiation and design of the source capsule.

Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:87.31(Physics, Applied)During the operation of polymer electrolyte fuel cell, supplied fuel gases sometimes permeate through the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM), thereby affecting the cell performance. For developing the novel PEM with low gas permeability, it is required to obtain an insight into the micro-pore structures in the PEM, which is related to gas permeation phenomena. In this study, we investigated the miro pore structures in the crosslinked-polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based radiation-grafted PEMs by using positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) spectroscopy. From the obtained PAL spectra, there were found to be the two types of o-Ps in the PEMs. Their lifetimes are 2.0-2.1 ns and 4.3-4.5 ns, which correspond to the pore sizes of 0.28-0.30 nm and 0.44-0.45 nm, respectively. The small-size pores should be in PTFE crystallites and grafted phases, while the larger-size ones are probably in PTFE amorphous regions.

Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:75.12(Physics, Applied)We have developed a positron microbeam based on the commercial scanning electron microscope. The minimum beam diameter 1.9 micron on target was confirmed. Using this, vacancy-type defects in the small area can be detected. This means that the positron microbeam has a great advantage for the measurement under the extreme condition, such as high temperature, high tensile stress, high electric field, high pressure and so on, because it become easier to apply such condition when the sample size was smaller. We have applied the positron microbeam for the sample under tensile stress and high temperature.

The peak intensities of annihilation rays (S parameter) and its annealing behaviors were measured. At as-implanted state, S parameter increased because of the implantation defects. After 300
C annealing, S parameter decreased by the helium bubble. After 900
C annealing, S parameter increased drastically due to the microvoids formed by the desorption of helium atoms. Positron annihilation method can detect the generation and disappearance process of the helium bubble by the ion implantation.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:49.61(Physics, Applied)The Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) provides software infrastructure and framework for building distributed control systems (DCS) to operate beam line devices. The DCS based on EPICS has been adopted by many accelerator facilities in the world, where reliability, maintainability, and scalability of the system have been demonstrated. This system is also used to operate the high energy proton accelerator in the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). We here report on the EPICS-based remote control system developed for operating the decay muon beam line in J-PARC. Major functions of beam line devices, three bending magnets, eighteen quadrupole magnets, and four slits, are accessible via Ethernet from a graphical user interface composed of the Motif Editor and Display Manager (MEDM).

Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:84.71(Physics, Applied)To reveal the relationship between mechanical properties and microscopic structure of Zr-based amorphous metals, we performed positron annihilation measurements on specimens with different Zr contents. Although the positron lifetimes were nearly the same for all the specimens, the Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation spectra were significantly different for the specimens at and above the eutectic point. This indicates that both the structure and composition of free volumes depend on the Zr-content.
