In recent years, durable target is required according to increase of the beam power. To solve this problem, a liquid film was formed in vacuum and tested it as a target. An ethanol and a mercury were selected as liquid target materials, and we investigated whether the liquid sheet could be formed stably in a vacuum and how about the vacuum pressure. As a result, it was confirmed that the liquid films were stably formed in both case and the pressures with the films were about the vapor pressure of the materials.

Cesium-135 having long life, 2.3 million y, that is contained in nuclear wastes may cause long-term pollution. Technology of isotopic separation of such long lived nuclide is indispensable not only for its volume reduction but also annihilation by nuclear transmutation. The recovery of atomic Cs from molecular CsI is mandatory. We have investigated fullerene C as a potential absorber for Cs. Angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, AR-XPS has been used to analyze the depth concentration distribution of Cs. Experiments were performed at soft X-ray beamline BL27A at KEK PF facility. We report on the annealing effect after deposition of Cs and the effect of heating substrate during deposition. For Cs/C sample, the intensity ratio of Cs-3d/C-1s increased in double at the high temperature. This suggests that Cs atoms remain in the material at high temperatures. On the other hand, for CsI/C, the intensity ratio does not change much by elevating temperatures.

Surface ionization for cesium chloride and Cs-adsorbed soil has been investigated. For cesium chloride, neutral cesium was desorbed around 645C which is close to the melting point of cesium. While Cs ion was desorbed from 400C. The ratio of desorbed ions and neutrals (Cs/Cs) has a maximum around 410 C. Temperature dependence of Cs/Cs was analyzed using Saha-Langmuir equation, As a result, it was found that the temperature maximum is due to the changes of the surface work function induced by the phase transition of CsCl.

Rare-earth doped ceria exhibits both ionic and electronic conductions, and those ceria with higher ratio of ionic conduction against electronic conduction is used as a solid electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cells. The electron density distributions in crystals are closely related to the electron diffusing pathway which affects the electronic conduction. In this study, we investigated the electron density distribution of doped ceria as a function of the content of NdO-dopant to deduce the ratio of the electronic to ionic conduction. The crystal structure was refined with the space group, -3, which is the same as undoped ceria. Ce and Nd ions randomly occupied the 4 site and O ion the 8 site. The electron conduction pathway was distributed through the 4-8 and 8-8 sites. The relationship between crystal structural change and electron density distribution as a function of the content of NdO dopant will be discussed.

The Si(110) surface has a quite unique one-dimensional (1-D) structure with 162 reconstruction. Since the perfectly straight rows extend over micrometers, the 162 structure can be a superior template for 1-D nanostructures. In this study, we tried to control the clustering of Ge atoms on the Si(110) - 162 substrate. When Ge is deposited at 523 K, clustering of Ge atoms is found. The size of the cluster was 12 nm and many of them were located in a step edges. This trend is previously reported by vicinal Si(111) surface. With increasing temperature, the sizes of Ge clusters became larger. These results indicated that the size and alignment of the Ge cluster can be well controlled on the Si(110) - 162 template surface.
