To reveal the decomposition mechanism with temperature under high-pressure, crystal structure of a hydrogrossular, katoite CaAl(OD) has been studied by in-situ neutron diffraction at 8 GPa. Although unusual expansion behavior was discerned at 200-400C, the unit cell was continuously expanded up to 850C. At 900C, katoite was decomposed, indicating that pressure strongly increases dehydration temperature from 300C to 900C. On release of pressure, the katoite reappear together with corundum and portlandite. At 8 GPa, CaO and AlO polyhedra expand with temperature up to 850C by about 8% and 13%, respectively. On the other hand, tetrahedral interstices are isotopically squeezed by about 10%: due to the expansion of above polyhedra. The neighboring D-D distance remains almost unchanged in this temperature range, while the O-D bond distance shrinks drastically just before decomposition. This finding suggests that the shortening of O-D distance caused by the D-D repulsion destabilizes the O-D bond, which induces the thermal decomposition of katoite.

At the JAERI Tandem accelerator, an acceleration tube replacing plan is proceeding to increase the acceleration voltage toward 20 MV. Lengthy conditioning is generally necessary for a large tube system. We had an idea to clean the tubes with high-pressure water-jet rinsing before installation. We cleaned tubes and tested them at 1 MV and 3 MV. The both results exhibited that the voltages went beyond the rated voltages and discharge activities were much less than the old records. During the test of new tubes at 3 MV, the conditioning proceeded well and an extremely stable condition was fulfilled within 24 hours. In conclusion, the cleaning was found to be a very promising way to improve high-voltage performance of the tubes in a large tube system.

Recent developments and current status of high-pressure neutron diffractometer PLANET in J-PARC

The first domestic high-pressure powder neutron diffractometer PLANET celebrated five years since its operation started. Here, we will introduce the current status and subsequent progress. Expansion of measurable PT region: In the experiments using a 6-axis press, in-situ observation at 14 GPa, 1800 K became possible by increasing the anvil strength by shrink fitting and replacing a graphite with a TiC + AlO heater. In experiments using the Paris Edinburgh Press (PE press), by reducing the anvil top to 2.5 mm in diameter, experiments at 30 GPa are possible. Improvement of measurement data quality: when using a PE press, samples are normally pressurized together with liquid pressure medium to avoid peak broadening. However, above 10 GPa, the medium solidifies and the peaks are broadened. To fix this problem, a system capable of heating the sample up to 100C was designed and now we can obtain sharp diffraction peaks up to 20 GPa. New measurement method: In order to obtain macroscale information of samples under high PT condition, we attempted neutron radiograph. By using a compact neutron camera, we can place a camera close to the sample and obtain high resolution images.

The PLANET is a powder diffraction beamline dedicated to high-pressure experiments constructed at MLF in J-PARC. The most important feature is to enable the in-situ observation of the state of matter at high pressure and high temperature (10 GPa, 2000 K) by neutron diffraction and neutron imaging using a 6-axis multi anvil press (max. load is 500 ton per axis). The PLANET is also equipped with a radial collimator with a gauge length of 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm, which make it possible to obtain a clean diffraction pattern without signals from materials around the sample (heater and pressure medium etc.). Thanks to this character, it is possible to analyze the structure of crystals and liquid / amorphous solids very accurately even under high pressure. By exchanging a 6-axis press with a small press, high-pressure experiments are possible over wide temperature range from 77 K to 2000 K. In this lecture, I will introduce recent achievements obtained at the PLANET.
