被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：29.05(Materials Science, Ceramics)Ceramic stereolithography (CSL)-additive manufacturing (AM) technology is used to create a functionally graded ceramic (FGC) green body made of silicon carbide (SiC) and graphite. For the SiC/graphite FGC, the mixing parameters of ceramics powders and ultraviolet (UV) curing resin are improved, and correlations of the resultant slurry curing depth with integrated light intensity are discovered. Therefore, the SiC/graphite FGC-produced green body has no flaws, pores, or cracks on its surfaces. According to the association between cure depth and integrated light density for each slurry's composition, several interfacial collapses discovered in a cracked cross-section might be decreased.

軽水炉シビアアクシデント時、ステンレス鋼(SS304)に化学吸着したセシウム量を推定するために、セシウム化学吸着モデルが構築されている。しかし、既存の化学吸着モデルは、実験結果をうまく再現することができていない。そのため、本研究では、化学反応を伴う気液系の物質移動理論(浸透説)や気相固相界面における水酸化セシウム(CsOH)の分解反応に対する質量作用の法則を組合せることで、SS304中のケイ素濃度や気相中の水酸化セシウム濃度の影響を考慮したモデルを構築した。その結果、既存モデルを用いた場合よりも、本研究で得られた修正モデルの方が、実験データをより正確に再現できることが分かった。

High temperature engineering test reactor (HTTR), a prismatic type of the HTGR, has been constructed to establish and upgrade the basic technologies for the HTGRs. Many irradiation regions are reserved in the HTTR to be served as a potential tool for an irradiation test reactor in order to promote innovative basic researches such as materials, fusion reactor technology, and radiation chemistry and so on. This study shows the overview of some possible irradiation applications at the HTTRs including neutron transmutation doping silicon (NTD-Si) and iodine-125 (
I) productions. The HTTR has possibility to produce about 40 tons of doped Si-particles per year for fabrication of spherical silicon solar cell. Besides, the HTTR could also produce about 1.8

-5) to a fluence of ~110
ions/cm
. The irradiated samples were observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Ion tracks were clearly observed as long bright lines. Nanoparticles were found to be desorbed from long and narrow regions along the ion tracks. The surface temperature at the thermal spike produced by the ion impact was evaluated from the observed nanoparticle desorption. The observed temperature distribution is qualitatively explained by a one-dimensional two temperature model (1D-TTM) although there are some discrepancies which may be attributed to the surface effects which are not taken into account in 1D-TTM.

Silicon carbide (SiC) has recently attracted much attention as a potential material for accident tolerant fuel cladding. To investigate the performance of SiC in severe accident conditions, study of steam oxidation at high temperatures is necessary. However, the study focusing on steam oxidation of SiC at temperatures above 1600C is still certainly limited due to lack of test facilities. With the extreme oxidation/corrosion environment in steam at high temperatures, current refractory materials such as alumina and zirconia would not survive during the tests. Application of laser heating technique could be a great solution for this problem. Using laser heating technique, we can localize the heat and focus them on the test sample only. In this study, we developed a laser heating facility to investigate high-temperature oxidation of SiC in steam at temperature range of 1400-1800C for 1-7 h. The oxidation kinetics is then being studied based on the weight gain and observation on cross-sectioned surface of tested sample using field emission scanning electron microscope. Off-gas measurement of hydrogen (H) and carbon monoxide (CO) generated during the test is also being conducted via a sensor gas chromatography. Current results showed that the SiC sample experienced a mass loss process which obeyed paralinear laws. Parabolic oxidation rate constant and linear volatilization rate constant of the process were calculated from the mass change of the samples. The apparent activation energy of the parabolic oxidation process was calculated to be 85 kJ.mol
. The data of the study also indicated that the mass change of SiC under the investigated conditions reached to its steady stage where hydrogen generation became stable. Above 1800C, a unique bubble formation on sample surface was recorded.

Besides the electricity generation and hydrogen production, HTGRs have many advantages for thermal neutron irradiation applications such as stable operation in longterm, large space available for irradiation target, and high thermal neutron economy. This study summarized the feasibility of new irradiation applications at the HTGRs including neutron transmutation doping silicon and I-125 productions. The HTTR located in Japan was used as a reference HTGR in this study. Calculation results show that HTTR could irradiate about 40 tons of doped Si particles per year for fabrication of spherical silicon solar cell. Besides, the HTTR could also produce about 1.8x105 GBq in a year of I-125, comparing to 3.0x103 GBq of total I-125 supplied in Japan in 2016.

被引用回数：7 パーセンタイル：58.07(Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear)The p-type spherical silicon solar cell is a candidate for future solar energy with low fabrication cost, however, its conversion efficiency is only about 10%. The conversion efficiency of a silicon solar cell can be increased by using n-type silicon semiconductor as a substrate. This study proposed a new method of neutron transmutation doping silicon (NTD-Si) for producing the n-type spherical solar cell, in which the Si-particles are irradiated directly instead of the cylinder Si-ingot as in the conventional NTD-Si. By using a screw, an identical resistivity could be achieved for the Si-particles without a complicated procedure as in the NTD with Si-ingot. Also, the reactivity and neutron flux swing could be kept to a minimum because of the continuous irradiation of the Si-particles. A high temperature engineering test reactor (HTTR), which is located in Japan, was used as a reference reactor in this study. Neutronic calculations showed that the HTTR has a capability to produce about 40 ton of 10 
cm resistivity Si-particles for fabrication of the n-type spherical solar cell.

Thermal stability of deep level defects in high purity semi-insulating (HPSI) 4H-Silicon Carbide (SiC) substrates was studied. The samples were annealed from 700 to 1700 C, and Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) were fabricated on the samples. The SBDs were characterized by current-voltage, capacitance-voltage and admittance spectroscopy measurements. The forward current of SBDs increased substantially with the increase of annealing temperature, while the reverse leakage current remained below 10
A. The capacitance of the samples annealed at 1400 and 1500 C was essentially zero at bias voltages between 0 and 10 V, but after 1600 and 1700 C annealing, the capacitance increased and started to respond to the bias voltage. The net hole concentrations in the 1600 and 1700 C annealed substrates were estimated to be 0.5
110
and 1410
/cm, respectively. From admittance spectroscopy, five defect levels were detected. Defect peaks relating to boron acceptors increased although defect peaks with deep levels decreased with increasing annealing temperature. Therefore, it can be concluded that deep levels which act as compensation centers for boron acceptors dissociate by high temperature annealing, and as a results, hole concentration increases.

被引用回数：38 パーセンタイル：82.81(Physics, Applied)Creation and characterisation of single photon emitters near the surface of 4H- and 6H-silicon carbide bulk substrates and 3C-SiC epitaxially grown on silicon substrates were investigated. These single photon emitters can be created and stabilized by thermal annealing in an oxygen atmosphere at temperatures above 550 C. Hydrofluoric acid (HF) treatment is shown to effectively annihilate the emission from defects and to restore an optically clean surface. However, the emission from the defects can be obtained after re-oxidation above 550 C. By measuring using standard confocal microscopy techniques, the excited state lifetimes for the emitters are found to be in the nanosecond regime in all three polytypes, and the emission dipoles are aligned with the lattice.

Ceramic yield, density, volume change and pore size distribution were measured for radiation- and thermally cured (poly carbo silan) PCS powder when they were pyrolyzed in the temperature ranges between 673 and 973 K. Higher ceramic yield was obtained for radiation-cured powder due to smaller amount of evolved gas. Temperature dependence of volume change and the total pore volume show the formation and disappearance of pores in the powders were determined by the volume shrinkage and evolution of decomposed gases. Volume shrinkage narrowed the pore size distribution for radiation-cured powder. For thermally cured powder, the narrowing of size distribution was disturbed by aggregated pores. Smaller amount of evolved gas from radiation-cured powder relative to thermally cured powder prevented the aggregation of pores and provided the narrow size distribution.

Quantum centers in silicon carbide (SiC) have already transcended their former reputation as mere performance-hampering defects. Especially the silicon vacancies, but also other point defects offer a variety of quantum applications, completing and complementing the successful NV centers in diamond. We aim to provide an overview over the research activities on quantum centers in silicon carbide, from fundamental knowledge on the 3/2 spin multiplicity, over microwave emission and single photon sources, to axis-aware magnetic field sensing and temperature sensing. Finally, we discussed creating tailored defects in SiC using different radiation parameters.

In order to develop semiconductor devices with MGy radiation resistivity, we are developing power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors (MOSFETs) based on silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors. The 
-ray irradiation responses of power SiC-MOSFETs were studied under various irradiation temperatures and humidity with various gate-bias conditions. Making comparisons between these responses, the optimum device operating condition and a better device structure were derived and MGy resistivity was achieved. Besides, -ray irradiation tests for a motor-driver circuits consisting of SiC-MOSFETs were carried out, and as a result, their continuous operation up to 2 MGy was confirmed.

Two kinds of Si-O-C(-H) ceramics particles having intrinsic photoluminescence (PL) spectra were prepared from silicone resin microspheres by heat treatment in a hydrogen atmosphere at 800 or 1100C. The obtained particles were painted on a Si substrate using a binder, and ion-beam-luminescence spectra were observed under proton beam irradiation with an acceleration energy in the ranges of 1-3 MeV. Observed spectra had peaks at wavelength of 520-540 nm. These peak wavelengths were larger than those observed under UV light irradiation. The luminescence of H 1100 (sample decarbonized at 1100C) was bright, and that of H 800 (sample decarbonized at 800C) was faint. However, the intensity of luminescence decreased rapidly at an early stage of the beam irradiation. In air, a sharp luminescence band with a peak at 300 nm appeared together with the main emission with a peak in the range of 520-540 nm. The existence of the sharp band at 300 nm was apparent in the H 800 spectra, whereas it appeared as a minor peak in the H 1100 spectra in air.

) in silicon carbide (SiC) is regarded as a promising candidate for a qubit for quantum computing since V-V is thought to have electronic states with sharp optical and spin transitions. However, single spin operation using V-V has not yet been succeeded although it was revealed that V-V shows the characteristics as a single photon source (SPS). In this study, we studied spin properties of V-V created in SiC by 2 MeV-electron irradiation. First, we found V-V in SiC using a confocal microscope (CFM) and measured their optical detected magnet resonance (ODMR) at 20 K. Then, their spin coherence was measured from the standard two-pulse Hahn-echo sequence using ODMR. As a result, the spin coherence time exceeding 1 ms was obtained.

As a result, photo luminescence (PL) with broad emission at wavelength ranges between 600 and 800 nm was observed from 3C-SiC NPs at room temperature. The second order photon auto-correlation measurements revealed that defect with the PL characteristic is SPSs. The intensity and stability of the PL increased when samples were irradiated with electrons and subsequently annealed at 500 C. From PL measurements at low temperature and theoretical analysis using spin-polarized density functional theory, the defect can be identified as carbon-antisite carbon-vacancy pair (CV).
