High-pressure responses of the O-DF hydrogen bonds in deuterated magnesium hydroxyfluoride were investigated using neutron powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The Rietveld analysis at ambient conditions revealed a chemical formula of Mg(OD)F and hydroxyl group/fluorine disorder (OD/F disorder) in the crystal structure, which gave rise to two hydrogen-bonding configurations. The Rietveld analysis showed the hydrogen-bonding geometries remains up to 9.8 GPa, indicating no pressure-induced strengthening of hydrogen bonds. The Raman spectra at ambient conditions showed three hydroxyl stretching bands at 2613, 2694, and 2718 cm. The high frequencies of the O-D stretching modes indicated that the hydroxyls should be involved in weak or none hydrogen-bonding interactions. Up to 20.2 GPa, the mode initially centered at 2694 cm displayed a pressure-induced blue shift, revealing no strengthening of hydrogen bonds under compression. We discuss the existence of hydrogen bonds and the causes of the blue-shifting hydroxyls at ambient and at high pressures.

Positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) measurements by use of a positron source of Na were performed for polycrystalline ITER-grade tungsten samples exposed to low-energy deuterium plasma. The energy of deuterium plasma was low and then it was expected that it would affect just near-surface region. However, we obtained the longer mean positron annihilation lifetime in the tungsten samples exposed to the low-energy deuterium plasma than the virgin tungsten samples. Moreover, almost same longer values were obtained even on the other (no exposed) side of the samples, although the thickness of the samples were about 2 mm. Although, there has been no report of observation of defect formation by existence of hydrogen or deuterium in tungsten, the results indicated that deuterium existence in tungsten can be one of reasons of defects formation.

Since J-PARC started operation for user programs with high-intensity pulsed neutron beams, many material and life science studies have been carried out at J-PARC. Since partial or complete deuteration of organic compounds for contrast variation in the scattering length densities of materials is one of the most effective techniques in the application of neutron scattering analysis, deuterated materials have led to significant progress in our understanding of the structure of novel organic materials. Aiming at accelerating development of deuteration activities in our country, an international workshop "Deuterated Materials Enhancing Neutron Science for Structure Function Applications" was held as a J-PARC Workshop at Ibaraki Quantum Beam Research Center from 19th October to 20th October in 2017. In this workshop, the chemical/biological deuteration activities and recent scientific results of deuterated materials enhancing neutron study in Japan and other countries were discussed by domestic/foreign deuteration and neutron scientists. This is a report of the workshop summarized by organizers.

Times Cited Count:21 Percentile:57.15(Chemistry, Physical)Vibrationally excited HOD in the fourth overtone state of the OD-stretching mode (5) has been photodissociated by ultraviolet photolysis at ca. 243.1 nm. Branching ratio between the OH- and OD-bond dissociation channels has been determined by detecting the H and D atoms. The OD-bond dissociation is the dominant channel, with the yield of H atom generated by the photolysis being below the detection limit.

In a tributary watershed of the Kuji River of Japan, the hydrological components of runoff associated with a rain storm event were investigated using isotope tracers of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) in precipitations and stream water. The runoff was separated into either "old water" (pre-existing in the ground before the storm) and "new water"(from the storm precipitation). It was found that the discharge of several hazardous trace elements (Sb, Cu, Cr) was largely (24-54%) attributable to that of the new water in spite of its small contribution to the total water discharge. These investigations suggest that the new water may play an important role in the migration of atmospherically derived, hazardous trace elements to streams during rain storms.

The energetic neutral particles have been successfully measured with a natural diamond detector in the neutron and ray radiation circumstance of the JT-60U deuterium discharges. The diamond detector was covered with polyethylene and lead in order to reduce the neutron and ray background. The shield has shown expected shielding capability. A rapid increase in neutral particles has been observed at the onset of the Toroidal Alfven Eigenmode (TAE) excited by the negative-ion-based neutral beam injection. The energy range of increased neutral particles has agreed well with that predicted from the resonant interaction between the energetic ions and the TAE.

Times Cited Count:19 Percentile:29.71(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)Regulation of skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction is associated with the thin filament-based proteins, troponin C (TnC), TnI, TnT, tropomyosin, and actin. Knowledge of structures of these proteins is indispensable for elucidating the molecular mechanism of this Ca-sensitive regulation. Here the structure of TnC within the thin filaments was investigated with neutron scattering, combined with selective deuteration and the contrast matching technique. Deuterated TnC was prepared, reconstituted into the native thin filaments, and neutron scattering patterns of these reconstituted thin filaments containing deuterated TnC were measured under the condition where non-deuterated components were rendered 'invisible' to neutrons. The obtained scattering curves arising only from deuterated TnC were analyzed by model calculations using the Monte Carlo method. The results showed that upon binding of Ca, radius of gyration of TnC changed from 23 AA to 24 AA , and the radial position of TnC within the thin filament changed from 53 AA to 49 AA .
