Times Cited Count：5 Percentile：33.01(Physics, Applied)To clarify the existence of cation vacancies in Ce-doped GdAlGaO (Ce:GAGG) scintillators, we performed gamma-ray-induced positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (GiPALS). GiPAL spectra of GAGG and Ce:GAGG comprised two exponential decay components, which were assigned to positron annihilation at bulk and defect states. By an analogy with Ce:YAl
O, the defect-related component was attributed to Al/Ga-O divacancy complexes. This component was weaker for Ce, Mg:GAGG, which correlated with the suppression of shallow electron traps responsible for phosphorescence. Oxygen vacancies were charge compensators for Al/Ga vacancies. The lifetime of the defect-related component was significantly changed by Mg co-doping. This was understood by considering aggregates of Mg
ions at Al/Ga sites with oxygen vacancies, which resulted in the formation of vacancy clusters.

Future synchrotron light source using a 5-GeV energy recovery linac (ERL) is under proposal by our Japanese collaboration team, and we are conducting R&D efforts for that. We are developing high-brightness DC photocathode guns, two types of cryomodules for both injector and main superconducting (SC) linacs, and 1.3 GHz high CW-power RF sources. We are also constructing the Compact ERL (cERL) for demonstrating the recirculation of low-emittance, high-current beams using above-mentioned critical technologies.

Future synchrotron light sources based on the energy-recovery linacs (ERLs) are expected to be capable of producing super-brilliant and/or ultra-short pulses of synchrotron radiation. Our Japanese collaboration team is making efforts for realizing an ERL-based hard X-ray source. We report recent progress in our R&D efforts.

Times Cited Count：8 Percentile：38.69(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies have been carried out for CaCuRuO,which has been suggested to show a heavy-fermion-like behavioral though it possess no f electron. A Lorentzian shape of the Cu NQR line with a narrow width implies that no magnetic ordering appears, at least, down to 5 K. The spin-lattice relaxation rate of the Cu nuclei probes a change of the Cu 3 electron nature, resulting in the Fermi liquid state at a low temperature. These facts strongly support that the heavy fermion picture is available in the concerned compound.

Cu NMR measurements have been carried out for CaCuRuO, which shows a heavy-fermion-like behavior although it posseses no f electron moment. The field-sweep spectrum observed can be understood as a powder pattern of a Cu nucleus affected by the quadrupole interaction with no axial symmetry. The quadrupole parameters and the Knight shift of Cu are evaluated.

The phenomenon of higher harmonic radiation from a helical undulator carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) attracts a great deal of attention because this novel property may be used as a new probe for synchrotron radiation science that would be performed in diffraction limited light source facilities. Although a diffraction limited VUV and X-ray sources do not yet exist, the 750 MeV UVSOR-III is already a diffraction limited light source in the UV region. In this ring, a tandem-aligned double-APPLE undulator system is installed. Using this set-up, we observed spiral interference patterns between two different harmonic radiations with a scanning fiber multi-channel spectrometer and a CCD camera placed at the end of BL1U beamline. By these measurements, various interference patterns such as single, double, and triple spirals were observed which concur with the theoretical prediction for every mode in the right or left circular polarization.

For general positron sources, radioisotopes such as 
Na are often used. However, there is a problem that positrons cannot probe the deep region of metal materials with a thickness of 1 mm or more. Gamma-ray induced positron annihilation lifetime measurement (GiPALS) is a method for generating positrons in bulk samples with a thickness of several centimeters and samples placed in vessels such as high temperature and/or pressure furnaces. The annihilation lifetime of positrons is about 200 ps for metal materials, so it is important to use gamma rays with a shorter pulse width for GiPALS in order to accurately measure the positron lifetime. We have succeeded in the proof-of-principle experiment for GiPALS of ultra-short pulse gamma rays with a pulse width of 2 ps, which was originally developed using 90
collision laser Compton scattering at UVSOR.

Positron annihilation spectroscopy is a powerful analytical method that can observe single-atom vacant defects in crystals and microvoids in insulating materials. UVSOR-III installed at the Institute of Molecular Science is promoting the development and user use of Gamma-ray induced positron annihilation spectroscopy (GiPAS) by ultrashort pulse gamma rays. We have succeeded in positron lifetime measurement and lifetime momentum correlation measurement. This time, we succeeded in detecting the process of defect capture in the positron age-momentum correlation measurement of strained steel materials.
