We conducted measurements of the first ionization potential (IP
) of the heavy actinide elements, lawrencium (Lr, 
), nobelium (No, 
), mendelevium (Md, 
) and fermium (Fm, 
) by using a novel method based on a surface ionization process. The IP measurements have been performed using the ISOL (Isotope Separator On-Line) system equipped with a surface ion-source with short-lived heavy actinide isotopes, 
Lr (
= 27s), 
No ( = 24.5s), 
Md ( = 4.27 min), and 
Fm ( = 2.6 min). Our experimental results clearly showed that the IP of Lr is distinctly low among actinide elements. Moreover, No has the highest IP among them due to its full-filled 5f and 7s orbitals; the IP value increased with an atomic number up to No and decreased dramatically at Lr, indicating the similar trend with that of heavy lanthanide elements. Therefore, we concluded Lr would be the last member of the actinide series.

A positron, an anti-particle of an electron, annihilates with an electron and emits energy that is proportional to mass energy as annihilation 
-rays. Positron annihilation methods are applied by detecting these -rays. The information of annihilation time, energy of -rays, and direction of -rays emission has been used for materials science. Here, positron annihilation lifetime, doppler broadening of annihilation -rays and positron annihilation age-momentum correlation are mainly explained by use of research examples for metals and polymers, etc.

We successfully confirmed that lawrencium (Lr, element 103) is the last member of actinide series by a measurement of its first ionization potential. Obtained experimental result suggested that the outermost electronic orbital of Lr atom would have p-orbital similar to elements of group-13. Our result triggered again the discussion of the position of Lr and lutetium, the lanthanide homologue of Lr, on the Periodic Table.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：1.67(Electrochemistry)The electrochemical properties of curium in a LiCl-KCl eutectic melt were studied in the temperature range of 718-823 K. A small electrochemical cell used in this study was designed for the electrochemical measurement with a small amount (1-20 mg) of the highly radioactive minor actinides contained in molten salts achieved in a hot cell. Our data of apparent standard potentials of a Cm
/Cm couple are reasonably in agreement with Osipenko's data (2011) and are lower than Martinot's data (1975). The validity of our data and the reported apparent standard potentials were discussed.

Times Cited Count：7 Percentile：17.86(Electrochemistry)The molten state of simulated high-level waste glass and the behavior of ruthenium element in the melt were investigated by using synchrotron radiation based X-ray imaging technique. Melting, generating and moving of bubbles, condensation and sedimentation of ruthenium element were observed dynamically in continuous 12-bit gray-scale images from the CCD camera. X-ray intensity was obtained easily by digitizing gray-scale values in the image. The existence of ruthenium element is emphasized as a black color in the CCD image at X-ray energy higher than the Ru K-absorption edge. Position sensitive imaging X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurement was also performed to clarify the chemical state of ruthenium element in the melt.

In situ X-ray diffraction measurements clarified the drastic structural changes of the LiTiOfilm upon soaking in the electrolyte and during the first intercalation and deintercalation processes. The surfaceregion of LiTiO had a different structure from the bulk during electrochemical cycling and could cause the nanosizedLiTiO electrodes to have high capacities and poor stabilities.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：13.68(Electrochemistry)Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes with conical and cylindrical nanopores were prepared in a controlled manner by the ion-track technique, which involved heavy ion beam irradiation and the subsequent alkaline etching. Etching behavior mainly depended on energy deposition of ion beams, and thus its depth distribution, estimated by theoretical simulation, was successfully applied to control the shapes and diameters of the etched pores. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrolytic conductometry then gave an insight into critical experimental parameters. Interestingly, applying a higher voltage to the conductometry cell promoted track etching up to breakthrough probably because electrophoretic migration of dissolved products occurred out of each pore.

In this study, the results of thermodynamic calculations for the phosphate conversion reactions were examined by the basic experiments. The chlorides of rare earth elements (REE) turned out to be converted into phosphates easily. Furthermore, as the additive for the phosphate conversion reaction, high temperature behavior of lithium phosphate was evaluated to elucidate the thermodynamic property.

as the oxide ion scavenger in order to avoid the formation of such oxychlorides as MO
, the effect of oxide ion concentration was well controlled on the distribution coefficients of Am and Ce. The separation factor between Am and Ce was then obtained to be about 100. By comparing the present value with the other experimental and the predicted ones, it was confirmed that the Ga system was more selective than the Bi and Cd system.

It was found that Mn-O plane in (LaSr)MnO has a strong, isotropic covalent bond that enables conduction of electrons. The (Co, Fe)-O2 plane with a covalent bond and a low concentration of oxygen vacancies in (BaSr)(CoFe)O can also conduct electrons. On the other hand, the (Ba, Sr)-O1 plane in (BaSr)(CoFe)O, which has a high concentration of oxygen vacancies, large isotropic displacement parameter, and a strong ionic bond, is responsible for the diffusion of oxygen ions.

The Simulation code for Pyrochemical Reprocessing (SPR) is based on calculations of chemical equilibrium and electrochemical reactions. The code also includes the calculations of the current-potential distribution between the electrodes. Some calculations were made to simulate the experimental results on the electro-codeposition process of UO
and PuO. The phenomena of the redox reactions between Pu and Pu ions and those between Fe and Fe
ions were theoretically analyzed; these redox reactions cause the low current efficiency in the electro-codeposition process. The calculated current-potential distribution around the cathode corresponds to the observed distribution of the oxide deposited on the cathode.

We found that the membranes possessed one-dimensional straight proton conducting pathways parallel to the ion-beam incident axis. Such restricted structures probably led to less water uptake and lower methanol permeability compared to a commercially-available Nafion membrane.
