Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:20.51(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)The combination of spin-driven thermoelectric (STE) devices based on spin Seebeck effect (SSE), and radioactive isotopes as heat sources, has potential as a next-generation method of power generation in applications such as power supplies for space probes. However, there has been very limited knowledge available indicating the irradiation tolerance of spin thermoelectric devices. Through analysis using a heavy ion-beam accelerator and the hard X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HAXPES) measurements, we show that a prototypical STE device based on YFeO/Pt heterostructures has tolerance to irradiation of high-energy heavy-ion beams. We used 320 MeV gold ion beams modeling cumulative damages due to fission products emitted from the surface of spent nuclear fuels. By varying the dose level, we confirmed that the thermoelectric and magnetic properties of the SSE elements are not affected by the ion-irradiation dose up to ions/cm fluence and that the SSE signal is extinguished around ions/cm, in which the ion tracks almost fully cover the sample surface. In addition, the HAXPES measurements were performed to understand the effects at the interface of YFeO/Pt. The HAXPES measurements suggest that the chemical reaction that diminishes the SSE signals is enhanced with the increase of the irradiation dose. We share the current understandings of the damage analysis in YFeO/Pt for developing better STE devices applicable to harsh environmental usages.

Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:62.39(Computer Science, Hardware & Architecture)Soft error originating from cosmic ray is a serious concern for reliability demanding applications. Device miniaturization and lower voltage operation degrade the immunity of SRAM and flip-flops, and then soft error countermeasures will be demanded in more and more products. This paper characterizes and discusses soft error rates of SRAM and flip-flops in the terrestrial environment with the results of investigation for soft error phenomena by measurements and simulations.

Times Cited Count:20 Percentile:50.54(Biology)Higher plants are generally more tolerant to ionizing radiation than mammals. To explore the radiation tolerance of higher plants, the amount of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) induced by -rays was investigated in tobacco BY-2 cells and compared with that investigated in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells as a reference. The resulting DNA fragments were separated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and stained with SYBR Green I. Initial DSB yield was then quantified from the fraction of DNA fragments shorter than 1.6 Mbp based on the assumption of random distribution of DSBs. The DSB yield in tobacco BY-2 cells (2.0 0.1 DSBs Gbp Gy) was only one-third of that in CHO-K1 cells. Furthermore, the calculated number of DSBs per diploid cell irradiated with -rays of mean lethal dose was five times greater in tobacco BY-2 cells (263.2 13.2) than in CHO-K1 cells. These results suggest that the radiation tolerance of tobacco BY-2 cells appears to be due to not only a lower induction of DNA damage but also a more efficient repair of the induced DNA damage.

Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:23.1(Plant Sciences)The resistance of strains Z (wild type) and SM-ZK (chloroplast-deficient mutant) to ionizing radiation was investigated. The colony forming ability of strain Z was higher than that of strain SM-ZK after -irradiation. For both strains, the resistance of light-grown cells was higher than that of dark-grown cells, suggesting that the light conditions during the culture contribute to the radiation resistance of . The comet assay showed that the ability of rejoining DNA double-strand breaks (dsb) was much higher in the light-grown cells. These results suggest that possesses a light-induced repair system to cope with DNA dsb.

Recently, we reported an electrochemical application of MHCF (M = Fe, Cu or Ni) film for Cs recovery from nitric acid (HNO) solutions. It was found that Cs loading and unloading can be easily controlled by modulating the film potential. In this study, the influence of irradiation with -rays to MHCF films on stability in HNO solutions was investigated.
