Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.05(Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear)Transparent and brown LaO-MoO binary glasses were prepared in bulk form using a levitation technique. The glass-forming range was limited, with the primary composition being approximately 25 mol% LaO. This glass exhibited a clear crystallization at 546 
C, while determining its glass transition temperature was difficult. Notably, despite its amorphous nature, the glass possessed a density and packing density comparable to those of crystalline LaMoO
. X-ray absorption fine structure and Raman scattering analyses revealed that the glass structure closely resembles LaMoO due to the presence of isolated MoO units, whereas disordered atomic arrangement around La atoms was confirmed. The glass demonstrated transparency ranging from 378 to 5500 nm, and the refractive index at 1.0 
m was estimated to be 2.0. The optical bandgap energy was 3.46 eV, which was slightly smaller than that of LaMoO. Additionally, the glass displayed a transparent region ranging from 6.5 to 8.0 m. This occurrence results from the decreased diversity of MoO
units and connectivity of Mo-O-Mo, which resulted in the reduced overlap of multiphonon absorption. This glass formation, with its departure from conventional glass-forming rules, resulted in distinctive glasses with crystal-like atomic arrangements.

Exploring novel caloric materials is challenging but critically important in developing future technologies. Here we discovered that the quadruple perovskite structure ferrimagnet BiCuCrO shows a large multicaloric effect at the first-order charge transition occurred around 190 K. Large latent heat and the corresponding isothermal entropy changes 28.2 J K
kg can be fully utilized by applying both magnetic fields (magnetocaloric effect) and pressure (barocaloric effect). Adiabatic temperature changes reach 3.9 K for the 50 kOe magnetic field and 4.8 K for the 4.9 kbar pressure, and thus highly efficient thermal controls are achieved by multiple ways.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：72.57(Crystallography)Interface defects of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductors (MOSFETs) fabricated on Carbone (C) face 4H-SiC were investigated by Electrically Detected Magnet Resistance (EDMR). Gate oxide of the MOSFETs was formed by either wet-oxidation and H annealing or dry-oxidation. The values of channel mobility for MOSFETS with wet gate oxide and dry gate oxide are less than 1 and 90 cm
/Vs, respectively. By EDMR measurement under low temperature (less than 20 K), EDMR signals related to C were detected. The peak height of the signals increased with increasing 
-ray doses, and the channel mobility decreased. From this result, it is assumed that hydrogen atoms passivating C dangling bonds are released by -rays and the channel mobility decreases with increasing the C related defects.

Times Cited Count：21 Percentile：50.49(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)NADH-Cytochrome reductase (b5R), a flavoprotein consisting of NADH and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) binding domains, catalyzes electron transfer from the two-electron carrier NADH to the one-electron carrier cytochrome (Cb5). The crystal structures of both the fully reduced form and the oxidized form of porcine liver b5R were determined. In the reduced b5R structure determined at 1.68
resolution, the relative configuration of the two domains was slightly shifted in comparison with that of the oxidized form. This shift resulted in an increase in the solvent-accessible surface area of FAD and created a new hydrogen-bonding interaction between the N5 atom of the isoalloxazine ring of FAD and the hydroxyl oxygen atom of Thr66, which is considered to be a key residue in the release of a proton from the N5 atom. The isoalloxazine ring of FAD in the reduced form is flat as in the oxidized form and stacked together with the nicotinamide ring of NAD
. Determination of the oxidized b5R structure, including the hydrogen atoms, determined at 0.78 resolution revealed the details of a hydrogen-bonding network from the N5 atom of FAD to His49 via Thr66. Both of the reduced and oxidized b5R structures explain how backflow in this catalytic cycle is prevented and the transfer of electrons to one-electron acceptors such as Cb5 is accelerated. Furthermore, crystallographic analysis by the cryo-trapping method suggests that re-oxidation follows a two-step mechanism. These results provide structural insights into the catalytic cycle of b5R.

Times Cited Count：27 Percentile：87.4(Instruments & Instrumentation)We have studied the magnetic properties of pure CeO irradiated with swift heavy ions. Experiment a results showed that the ferromagnetism was induced even at room temperature by 200 MeV Xe ion irradiation. The value of saturation magnetization, Ms, systematically changes as a function of ion-fluence. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra show that the lattice constant of CeO increases with increasing ion-fluence. This result and our previous XPS result show that the ion-irradiation produced oxygen vacancies. The present study implies that the ferromagnetic behavior of the ion-irradiated CeO is attributed to the magnetic moments of localized 4f electrons on Ce
atoms, which are related to oxygen vacancies.

Times Cited Count：7 Percentile：95.04(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Metal-Oxide (SiO)-Semiconductor (MOS) structures fabricated on Silicon Carbide (SiC) were studied using Electrically Detected Magnetic Resonance technique (EDMR). The residual Carbons are expected to be near the interface between SiC and SiC-SiOSiO, which is different from Si-SiO interface. By the EDMR measurements at 50K, a defect center related to C dangling bonds which is called P
center and also a center related to C dangling bonds terminated by hydrogens or nitrogens (Ns) which is called P were observed. In addition, a center related to N donor which is called Nh exist near the interface from N-treatment samples. This suggests that carrier concentration increases near the interface due to the introduction of donors, and as a result, the channel conductance increases.

We have successfully manufactured all superconducting cables for CS and EF coils of JT-60SA. The low temperature performance of superconducting wires satisfied the specifications under sufficiently low deviations and high production yields. Ni-plated strands of EF cables having the larger sliding friction between strands than that of Cr-plated strands of CS cable caused difficulties on the cabling without any defects. Consequently, the newly developed cabling techniques with the original inspection apparatus significantly enhanced the manufacturability and were effective for guarantee of the quality.

We have also tried EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) measurement using X-ray near U L-edge. The results show that XRD technique detects damage at relatively low fluence of 10
ions/m and higher, while the irradiation-induced change of EXAFS spectra is not observed even at highest fluence of 10
ions/m. The damage detection may be critically influenced by the depth profile of X-ray penetration.

The lattice constant decreases with increasing GdO-doping and the local structure near the Gd atoms is more disordered with increasing amounts of GdO-dopant. The irradiation induces an expansion of the lattice and disordering of the atomic arrangement around Gd atoms. The effect of high-energy ion irradiation becomes more pronounced with increasing amounts of GdO-dopant.

Times Cited Count：10 Percentile：60.68(Instruments & Instrumentation)Effects of thermal annealing on ion-irradiation induced ferromagnetism of FeRh bulk alloy and the related structural change were investigated by means of superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), respectively. Depending on the annealing temperature from 100 to 500 C, the magnetization induced by 10 MeV iodine ion irradiation and the lattice structure of the alloy were remarkably changed. After 500 C annealing, the magnetization and the lattice ordering of the alloy become similar to the states before the irradiation. The experimental result indicates that the thermal relaxation of irradiation-induced atomic disordering dominates the magnetic state of ion-irradiated FeRh alloy.

The GTHTR300 aiming at electric generation with its thermal efficiency of 46 % is a safe and economically competitive HTGR in 2010s. A helium gas turbine system connected with the reactor is designed based on existing technologies developed for fossil gas turbine systems. However, there are some uncertainties in performance of a helium gas compressor, electric magnetic bearings and control system. In order to confirm these technical uncertainties, a 1/3 scale model of the compressor and 1/3 scale magnetic bearings will be manufactured and tested in the simulated condition of the GTHTR300. This paper describes R&D plans focusing on the 1/3 scale compressor model test as well as unique design features of the GTHTR300.
