Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：64.66(Astronomy & Astrophysics)Gamma decays were observed in 
Ca and 
Ca following quasi-free one-proton knockout reactions from 
Sc. For Ca, a 
ray transition was measured to be 1456(12) keV, while for Ca an indication for a transition was observed at 1115(34) keV. Both transitions were tentatively assigned as the 
decays. A shell-model calculation in a wide model space with a marginally modified effective nucleon-nucleon interaction depicts excellent agreement with experiment for 
level energies, two-neutron separation energies, and reaction cross sections, corroborating the formation of a new nuclear shell above the N = 34 shell. Its constituents, the 
and 
orbitals, are almost degenerate. This degeneracy precludes the possibility for a doubly magic Ca and potentially drives the dripline of Ca isotopes to 
Ca or even beyond.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：83.53(Astronomy & Astrophysics)Detailed -ray spectroscopy of the exotic neon isotope Ne has been performed using the one-neutron removal reaction from Ne. Based on an analysis of parallel momentum distributions, a level scheme with spin-parity assignments has been constructed for Ne and the negative-parity states are identified for the first time. The measured partial cross sections and momentum distributions reveal a significant intruder p-wave strength providing evidence of the breakdown of the N = 20 and N = 28 shell gaps. Only a weak, possible f-wave strength was observed to bound final states. Large-scale shell-model calculations with different effective interactions do not reproduce the large p-wave and small f-wave strength observed experimentally, indicating an ongoing challenge for a complete theoretical description of the transition into the island of inversion along the Ne isotopic chain.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：16.03(Chemistry, Physical)The effect of a core-to-valence resonant photoexcitation in an atom on photoemission from the neighboring atoms has been experimentally investigated. For SiO
fine powder mixed with boron nitride matrix, it was found that the intensity of the O 
photoelectrons was reduced around the Si 
resonant photoexcitation. On the other hand, the intensity of the B or N photoelectrons from the matrix material did not change regardless of the photon energy. Similar phenomenon was also observed for Si
N
powder mixed with cellulose as a matrix material. The results demonstrated that photoemission from the nearest-neighbor atoms that are directly bound to silicon is perturbated by the core-to-valence resonant photoexcitation in silicon. Using the phenomenon, it is expected that species of the nearest neighbor atom can be identified by a resonant core-level excitation in a target atom.

Large quantities of volatile radionuclides were released into the atmosphere following the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS) accident in March 2011. To evaluate their effect on aquatic organisms and radiocesium behavior in the environment, the monitoring of radioactive cesium in the waterbed soil is important. We developed a dedicated radiation survey device that can both directly measure and collect some sediment samples. A comprehensive test was conducted using this device, which was installed in an unmanned surface vehicle at Fukushima offshore contaminated by radiocesium that resulted from the FDNPS accident. Consequently, the effectiveness of this device was confirmed because the measurement results of the sediment-core sample and in-situ radiation survey results show a good correlation. A successful application of this device in the time of post-nuclear facility accident is expected.

Comparing the results to our shell-model calculations, two bound and six unbound states were established. The low cross sections populating the two bound states of Ar could be interpreted as a clear signature for the presence of significant sub-shell closures at neutron numbers 32 and 34 in argon isotopes.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：33.7(Instruments & Instrumentation)Multi-atom resonance (MAR) effect following the core-level resonant photoexcitation has been investigated for simple binary compounds such as CaCl, KCl and SrCl. For solid CaCl, it was found that the intensity of Cl K
X-rays was reduced when the energy of the incident X-rays was tuned at the resonance energy of the neighboring Ca K-edge, but such intensity reduction was not observed for aqueous solution of CaCl. Similar results were also obtained for the KCl and SrCl. From these results, it was clarified that for these binary compounds, the multi-atom resonance does occur only in an atom that is directly bound to the excited atom.

Surface ionization for cesium chloride and Cs-adsorbed soil has been investigated. For cesium chloride, neutral cesium was desorbed around 645C which is close to the melting point of cesium. While Cs
ion was desorbed from 400C. The ratio of desorbed ions and neutrals (Cs/Cs
) has a maximum around 410 C. Temperature dependence of Cs/Cs was analyzed using Saha-Langmuir equation, As a result, it was found that the temperature maximum is due to the changes of the surface work function induced by the phase transition of CsCl.

The performance of organic devices largely depends on molecular orientation in organic films. Whereas micro-orientation control of organic molecules is an indispensable technology for integration of organic devices, the method has not been established. We attempted to control micro-orientation of polydimethylsilane (PDMS) thin films by deposition of PDMS on graphite substrates modified by hetero atom doping using ion beam. Polarization dependence measurements of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and molecular orbital calculations clarified that PDMS films have lying, standing, and random orientations on the non irradiated, N-irradiated, and Ar-irradiated graphite surfaces, respectively. Furthermore, photoemission microscopy observation clarified that a PDMS film showed micro-patterns on a graphite surface with a microstructure on the order of 
m by separating N-irradiated and non irradiated areas. These results demonstrate our method is promising for micro-orientation of organic molecules.

When a solid is heated in vacuum, a part of the surface layer desorbs as ions, which is known as "surface ionization". In this report, we present the results for surface ionization of bulk cesium chloride (CsCl). When the positive potential was applied to the sample, we found that the Cs ions were desorbed at around 410 C, which is lower than the melting point of CsCl (645 C). The low desorption temperature was explained by the changes in the work function of the CsCl surface. As an application, we also investigated the desorption of Cs ions from Cs-adsorbed soil. When Cs-adsorbed soil was heated at 460 C for 2 hours, about 13% of Cs was desorbed as Cs ions. The results suggest that the surface ionization would possibly be applied to the desorption of Cs from contaminated soil.

Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：5.85(Chemistry, Physical)NEXAFS spectroscopy is applied to study orientation structures of polydimethylsilane (PDMS) films deposited on heteroatom-doped graphite substrates prepared by ion beam doping. The Si 
-edge NEXAFS spectra of PDMS show opposite trends of polarization dependence for non irradiated and N-irradiated substrates, and show no polarization dependence for an Ar-irradiated substrate. Based on a theoretical interpretation of the NEXAFS spectra via first-principles calculations, we clarify that PDMS films have lying, standing, and random orientations on the non irradiated, N-irradiated, and Ar-irradiated substrates, respectively. Furthermore, photoemission electron microscopy indicates that the orientation of a PDMS film can be controlled with microstructures on the order of m by separating irradiated and non irradiated areas on the graphite surface. These results suggest that surface modification of graphite using ion beam doping is useful for micro-orientation control of organic thin films.
