被引用回数：0Interstitial alloying is an effective strategy for enhancing the mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). However, in carbon-containing HEAs, the coexistence of interstitial carbon and carbides complicates the investigation of interstitial carbon's individual effects on strength and ductility. To address this, a carbide-free interstitial strengthened HEA, FeMnCoNiC, was designed by incorporating elements with low carbon affinity, enabling a clear assessment of the role of interstitial carbon. The results demonstrate that interstitial carbon solution simultaneously improves strength, ductility, and work hardening capability. Synchrotron radiation experiments reveal that the interstitial carbon containing alloy sustains higher lattice elastic strain, dislocation density, and stacking fault probability during tensile deformation, with the increased dislocation density being the primary contributor to enhanced work hardening. First principles calculations further elucidate the lattice distortion, chemical inhomogeneity and electronic localization effects induced by interstitial carbon, as well as their potential influence on strength and ductility. This study highlights the importance of carbide-free interstitial carbon-strengthened HEAs for a fundamental understanding of carbon's influence on mechanical properties.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：75.76(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)This study investigated the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect in duplex stainless steel (DSS), focusing on the influence of deformation temperature on the mechanical properties of 24Cr-5Ni-0.18N DSS. The steel showed an excellent balance of tensile strength and uniform elongation below 183 K due to deformation-induced martensitic transformation (DIMT) of the austenite (
) phase. The superior TRIP effect was attributed not only to DIMT and enhanced stress and work hardening at lower temperatures, but also to changes in phase interactions and texture evolution. DIMT suppressed crystal rotation, altered stress partitioning among constituent phases, and weakened the texture of the 
and ' phases. In JIS-SUS329J4L, phase stress, work hardening, and KAM values increased with decreasing temperature, while the texture weakened.

TRIGA燃料棒の臨界リスクの把握とその取扱いの安全対策の検討のため、NSRR燃料棒からなる無限及び有限非均質格子体系の臨界特性を、燃料棒の詳細な計算モデルを用いて再評価した。再評価には、最新バージョンのJENDL-5を含むJENDLライブラリとMVPバージョン3コードが使用された。臨界特性として、無限及び水反射有限体系の中性子増倍率の変化を、格子ピッチと減速材水の密度をパラメータとして詳細に調べた。再評価された臨界特性の結果から、JENDL-5ライブラリを用いて、水反射の六角格子体系の最小臨界燃料棒本数は46.8

The micromechanical behaviors and dislocation evolution in a polycrystalline Ni-Co-based superalloy were systematically investigated by neutron diffraction tensile testing combined with line profile analysis. The results reveal the sequential activation of ' shearing and Orowan looping mechanisms, with interphase load partitioning governed by strain-dependent interactions of dislocation and precipitate. During the initial plastic deformation, the and ' phases undergo co-deformation through dislocation shearing without load transfer, while the Orowan looping facilitates the load transfer from to ' phase at a higher strain level. Furthermore, the low stacking fault energy leads to a rising fraction of screw dislocations by suppressing cross-slip. Crucially, the pinning effect of ' precipitates hinders the rearrangement of these dislocations into low-energy structures, resulting in the formation of high-energy, weakly screened dislocation configurations. These findings provide new evidence for the planar slip dominance in Ni-Co-based superalloys, enabling quantitative assessment of microstructural evolution and micromechanical responses.

. Two-dimensional ferromagnetic honeycomb layers are antifferomagnetically stacked along the 
-axis. The magnetic Bragg peak intensity is enhanced by ultrasound injection up to 300 % on the FeTiO crystal at low temperatures. The large enhancement is attributed to the large spin-lattice coupling of Fe in FeTiO. The enhancement is lost above 35 K, suggesting that the energy splitting of the Fe levels by the spin-orbit coupling is about 35 K. This finding opens a possibility for high efficiency acoustic spin pumping.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Nuclear Science & Technology)A series of simulated experiments were conducted at the FCA to simulate a light water reactor core with a tight lattice cell containing highly enriched MOX fuel with a fissile Pu ratio 
15%. The prediction accuracy of the neutron computation codes and nuclear data libraries in a wide range of neutron spectra was evaluated by constructing three experimental configurations of the FCA-XXII-1 assembly with different void fractions (45%, 65%, and 95%) of the moderator material. In a previous paper, we reported the criticality and reactivity worths measured in these experiments. This paper provides the experimental results for the central reaction rate ratios and fission distributions as follows. The fission rate ratios of 
U and 
Pu relative to 
U were measured at the core centers using three calibrated fission chambers, and the U capture reaction rate ratio relative to U fission was measured using depleted uranium foils. Reaction rate distributions were also obtained by traversing four micro fission chambers of HEU, NU, Pu, and Np through each core region in the radial and axial directions. The experimental analyses were performed using detailed models of the Monte Carlo code MVP3 with JENDL-4.0. Most calculation results agreed well with the experiments, whereas those for the fission rate ratio of Pu to U were underestimated by up to 6% with the softening neutron spectrum.

被引用回数：4 パーセンタイル：4.25(Physics, Condensed Matter)Spin caloritronics, a research field studying on the interconversion between a charge current (J
) and a heat current (J
) mediated by a spin current (J
) and/or magnetization (M), has attracted much attention not only for academic interest but also for practical applications. Newly discovered spin-caloritronic phenomena such as the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) have stimulated the renewed interest in the thermoelectric phenomena of a magnet, which have been known for a long time, e.g. the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). These spin-caloritronic phenomena involving the SSE and the ANE have provided with a new direction for thermoelectric conversion exploiting J and/or M. Importantly, the symmetry of ANE allows the thermoelectric conversion in the transverse configuration between J and J. Although the transverse configuration is totally different from the conventional longitudinal configuration based on the Seebeck effect and has many advantages, we are still facing several issues that need to be solved before developing practical applications. The primal issue is the improvement of conversion efficiency. In the case of ANE-based applications, a material with a large anomalous Nernst coefficient (S
) is the key for solving the issue. This review article introduces the increase of S can be achieved by forming superlattice structures, which has been demonstrated for several kinds of materials combinations. The overall picture of studies on spin caloritronics is first surveyed. Then, we mention the pioneering work on the transverse thermoelectric conversion in superlattice structures, which was performed using Fe-based metallic superlattices, and show the recent studies for the Ni-based metallic superlattices and the ordered alloy-based metallic superlattices.

被引用回数：6 パーセンタイル：34.19(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Over the past century, understanding the nature of shock compression of condensed matter has been a major topic. About 20 years ago, a femtosecond laser emerged as a new shock-driver. Unlike conventional shock waves, a femtosecond laser driven shock wave creates unique microstructures in materials. Therefore, the properties of this shock wave may be different from those of conventional shock waves. However, the lattice behaviour under femtosecond laser-driven shock compression has never been elucidated. Here we report the ultrafast lattice behaviour in iron shocked by direct irradiation of a femtosecond laser pulse, diagnosed using X-ray free electron laser diffraction. We found that the initial compression state caused by the femtosecond laser driven shock wave is the same as that caused by conventional shock waves. We also found, for the first time experimentally, the temporal deviation of peaks of stress and strain waves predicted theoretically. Furthermore, the existence of a plastic wave peak between the stress and strain wave peaks is a new finding that has not been predicted even theoretically. Our findings will open up new avenues for designing novel materials that combine strength and toughness in a trade-off relationship.

Based on the canonical point of view, acoustic phonons are believed to be the principal thermal carriers in heat flow. Here, in this work, optical phonons are elucidated to play a pivotal role in determining the lattice thermal conductivity in thermoelectric material SnS by using the state-of-the-art inelastic neutron scattering technique combined with first-principles calculations. Additionally, in contrast to acoustic phonons, optical phonons are observed to exhibit pronounced softening and broadening with temperature. Our observations not only shed light on the significance of the optical phonons in thermal transport but also provide a vital clue to suppress the propagation of optical phonons to optimize the thermoelectric performance of SnS.

The weak temperature-dependent plateaus of the dynamic spin fluctuations below 0.2 K in zero field together with its longitudinal-field (LF) dependence indicate the presence of dynamic spin fluctuations persisting even at 0.05 K without static magnetic order. We argue that such a behavior for = 0.1 can be attributed to a metallic spin-liquid-like ground state near the quantum critical point in the frustrated Kondo lattice. The LF-SR study suggests that the out of kagome plane spin fluctuations are responsible for the spin-liquid behavior.
