Times Cited Count:124 Percentile:95.49(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Magnetoresistivity measurements with fine tuning of the field direction on high quality single crystals of the ferromagnetic superconductor UCoGe show anomalous anisotropy of the upper critical field . for -axis () in the orthorhombic crystal structure is strongly enhanced with decreasing temperature with an S-shape and reaches nearly 20 T at 0 K. The temperature dependence of shows upward curvature with a low temperature value exceeding 30 T, while at 0K is very small (0.6 T).Contrary to conventional ferromagnets, the decrease of the Curie temperature with increasing field for -axis marked by an enhancement of the effective mass of the conduction electrons appears to be the origin of the S-shaped curve. These results indicate that the field-induced ferromagnetic instability or magnetic quantum criticality reinforces superconductivity.

Times Cited Count:14 Percentile:69.01(Nuclear Science & Technology)The SIMMER-III code is a two-dimensional, multi-velocity-field, multi-phase, multi-component, Eulerian, fluid-dynamics code coupled with a fuel-pin model and a space- and energy-dependent neutron transport kinetics model. Since SIMMER-III is expected to become a standard tool for fast reactor safety analysis with likely application to licensing calculations, the code must be demonstrated to be sufficiently robust and reliable. For this purpose, a systematic assessment program of the code has been conducted in cooperation with European partners. The development of SIMMER-IV has been performed to be a direct extension of SIMMER-III to three dimensions. Recently, the parallelization of SIMMER-IV has been made to allow applications to reactor calculation within available computational resource. A three-dimensional calculation with SIMMER-IV is presented to indicate more realistic accident scenario.

Times Cited Count:31 Percentile:33.53(Physics, Condensed Matter)This topical review presents results from neutron inelastic scattering experiments on single crystals of UPdAl. We present a detailed and complete characterization of the wave vector- and energy-dependent magnetization dynamics in UPdAl as measured by neutron inelastic scattering primarily in the form of extensive surveys in energy-momentum space under a wide range of experimental conditions, and put our observations in context with data that has been published previously by two independent groups. This study yields unique insight into the low-temperature ground state, which exhibits a microscopic coexistence of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity, makingUPdAl one of the most accessible heavy-fermion superconductors that can be fully characterized by neutron spectroscopy.
