Times Cited Count：7 Percentile：49.75(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Since the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident, morphological abnormalities of the lepidopteran insects have been reported. However, it is unclear whether the abnormalities were caused directly by radiation because they did not study on absorbed dose and dose-effect relationship. In this study, we conducted an internal exposure experiment on silkworm using CsCl-supplemented artificial diet and estimated the absorbed dose to evaluate the morphological abnormalities in silkworm. The ratio of wing to whole body of pupae was compared between the CsCl-exposured and control groups and no significant differences were observed between the groups. This result suggest that morphological abnormalities in lepidopterans are unlikely due to direct radiation effects from Cs contamination after the FDNPP accident.

Times Cited Count：16 Percentile：56.51(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Semiconductor nanocrystals have unique electrical and optical properties, because of the quantum confinement effect, and the doping of impurities into nanocrystals. In this study, we investigated the photoluminescence (PL) properties of phosphorus- (P) and boron- (B) co-doped Si nanocrystals (Si NCs), which was synthesized using an ion implantation technique. The Si-NC size (average diameter: 3.5, 4.4, 5.2 nm) and the P and B ion doses (0.1-4.5
10
cm
)values were systematically varied. We find that the PL peak energy shifts to lower values with increasing the average diameters of Si NCs and PB ion dose. The results of PL measurements indicate that the PL spectra are due to the band-to-band transition at the reduced Si-NC band gap caused by the formation of impurity and the radiative transitions between defect- and/or impurity-related localized states. It was found that the PL properties can be controlled by varying the Si-NC size as well as the dopant concentration.

matrix and porous Si have been intensively investigated because of their interesting photoluminescence (PL) properties. Si-nc's exhibit strong and visible emission at room temperature. Because of their compatibility with Si-based technology, light-emitting Si-nc's are an attractive candidate for materials used in various optoelectronic device applications. In this study, the PL properties of n- and p-type dopants phosphorus (P) and boron (B) co-doped Si-nc's prepared by the ion implantation were studied. For (P, B) co-doped Si-nc's, the donor-acceptor (D-A)-pair recombination emission was clearly observed on the long-wavelength side of the intrinsic Si-nc emission. The D-A-pair recombination energy is found to be smaller than the band-gap energy of bulk Si and is strongly dependent on the number of P and B impurities doped in a Si-nc's.

The ratio of soft rock occupied in the whole rock mass in Japan is relatively high. Strata control problems occur more frequently in soft rock than in hard rock, since fracture and large deformation are easily induced in soft rock whose strength and stiffness are small in magnitude. A rational method to overcome these problems is to develop such system to measure the rock stresses as well as to evaluate the in-situ strength of the rock mass and to use these data to predict the phenomena occurred during nderground constructions and to reflect them to design of the rock mass structure. However, the technique of measurements which can be used in soft rock has not been developed to this day, due to many problems to overcome. Purpose of the present investigation is to develop a system to measure such components as the rock stress, the width of the fissured one and the creep deformation, by using a single borehole drilled in the soft rock. To confirm the validity of this system, the in-situ measurements were conducted in the soft iatomaceous mudstone in Horonobe district, Hokkaido, Japan. Various findings obtained in this investigation will be reported.
