Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0(Multidisciplinary Sciences)In condensed matter physics, pressure is frequently used to modify the stability of both electronic states and atomic arrangements. Under isotropic pressure, the intermetallic compound MnP has recently attracted attention for the interplay between pressure-induced superconductivity and complicated magnetic order in the vicinity. By contrast, we use uniaxial stress, a directional type of pressure, to investigate the effect on the magnetism and crystal structure of this compound. An irreversible magnetisation response induced by uniaxial stress is discovered in MnP at uniaxial stress as low as 0.04 GPa. Neutron diffraction experiments reveal that uniaxial stress forms crystal domains that satisfy pseudo-rotational symmetry unique to the MnP-type structure. The structure of the coexisting domains accounts for the stress-induced magnetism. We term this first discovered phenomenon atomic reconstruction (AR) induced by uniaxial stress. Furthermore, our calculation results provide guidelines on the search for AR candidates. AR allows crystal domain engineering to control anisotropic properties of materials, including dielectricity, elasticity, electrical conduction, magnetism and superconductivity. A wide-ranging exploration of potential AR candidates would ensure that crystal domain engineering yields unconventional methods to design functional multi-domain materials for a wide variety of purposes.

The great amount of water used for cooling the stricken power reactors at Fukushima Dai-ichi has resulted in accumulation of "remaining water". As the remaining water is subsequently contaminated by FPs, etc., it is necessary to decontaminate it in order to reduce the volume of liquid radioactive waste and to reuse it again for cooling the reactors. Various techniques are being applied to remove FP, etc. and to make stable waste forms. One of the methods using the iron phosphate glass as a medium is being developed to stabilize the strontium-bearing sludge whose main component is BaSO. From the results hitherto, the iron phosphate glass is regarded as a potential medium for the target sludge.

The great amount of water used for cooling the stricken reactors at Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant following the earthquake and tsunami of 11 March 2011 had resulted in accumulation of "remaining water" in some buildings. From public announcements, it seems likely the decontamination process of La Hague reprocessing plant would be employed as one of the treatment processes for the remaining water contaminated by FPs such as Cs, Sr, etc.. Based on literature study, Cs would precipitate with ferrocyanide compound as well as Sr with BaSO by applying the above-mentioned process. In this study, BaSO as the simulated sludge was loaded into the iron phosphate glass (IPG) medium under different melting temperature. Based on the results, the performance of IPG containing BaO (decomposed from BaSO) improved with increase loading of BaO up to 48 mol% at lower melting temperature.
