英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Tungsten nano-oxides of WO3 and H2WO4 have been studied as promising candidates for photocatalytic and chromic materials. To date, WO3 and H2WO4 nanoparticles are generally prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, which requires high temperature environment and pH adjustment. In this paper, we report on fabricating WO3 nanoparticles via photosynthesis by UV irradiation of the solution made from dissolving tungsten in hydrogen peroxide. Similarly, we have succeeded in fabricating H2WO4 nanoparticles by changing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution. Furthermore, an electrochromic device was fabricated by coating the WO3 nanoparticles on an ITO substrate, and the chromic properties are then confirmed.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, A nanosecond pulse laser source head (Nd:YAG laser, Inlite II-20, Continuum) was equipped to a high-voltage electron microscope (HVEM, Hitachi, H-1300) to develop a laser-HVEM system at Hokkaido University. Using the laser-HVEM, new methods for in-situ observation on the formation process of laser-induced lattice point defects at the internal of crystalline solid are achieved; some striking phenomena and potential mechanisms are explored. In the present paper, we review our progresses on in-situ experiments of lattice defects behavior in metal using the laser-HVEM. These progresses are expected to provide insight for a broader application of laser-HVEM in scientific research.

Scientific Reports, 10, 1, Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020年02月03日, ［査読有り］, ［最終著者, 責任著者］
英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We report a water decomposition mode called ‘Aquaionic Splitting (AiS)’ by means of iron corrosion in aqueous solution. In this paper, we investigated the phenomenon by controlling the reaction between iron and water. A pseudo-sacrificial protection method with oil paint was employed to select the anode and cathode formation locations that govern iron corrosion. Then, the AiS reaction was visualized by using BTB solution, whose colour corresponds to pH, to produce colour patterning that corresponds to the aquaion distribution. It has become clear that water can be selectively separated into protons and hydroxide ions by corrosion control treatment. In this vein, the diffusion coefficient of protons was estimated by using the colour patterning of BTB solution that accompanies iron corrosion, and aquaion distribution was then computer simulated by solving the diffusion equation.

NACE - International Corrosion Conference Series, 2020-June, 2020年
研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, Microstructure modification of CoCrFeNiTi-based multi-principal element alloy (MPEA) manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) is conducted to obtain high-strength and corrosion resistant alloys for harsh environments. Mechanical properties are improved by the microstructure control of ' nano-precipitates and -plate precipitates by a set of heat treatment process including solution heat treatment and aging heat treatment. The alloy after aging heat treatment exhibited the tensile strength of 1,548 MPa with the elongation of 23 % and Charpy impact value of 29 J/cm2. The developed SLM products showed the corrosion resistance in H2SO4 and HCl comparable to those of the precipitation-hardened nickel alloys. The relationship between morphologies of precipitates and the alloys' mechanical properties and corrosion behaviors will be discussed.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Recently, metal oxide nanocrystallites have been synthesized through a new pathway, i.e., the submerged photosynthesis of crystallites (SPSC), and flower-like ZnO and CuO nanostructures have been successfully fabricated via this method. In this work, the SPSC process was applied for the fabrication of iron oxide and hydroxide nanoparticles. The experiments were conducted under visible light, ultraviolet light, and gamma-ray irradiation conditions and the morphologies of the obtained nanoparticles were observed and compared with that obtained without illumination. Then, the mechanism of the SPSC process for the fabrication of iron oxide nanoparticles was discussed. The results show that various kinds of morphologies of nanocrystallites were obtained on the Fe plate surface and the main morphologies are different under different conditions. For example, most FeOOH with the morphologies of nanorod and nanofiber exist by visible light irradiation; most faceted crystals of FeOOH and Fe2O3 with the morphologies of nanograular and nanorod exist by ultraviolet irradiation. In the SPSC process, light irradiation generates center dot OH at the crystal tips and promote the crystallization in apical growth of FeOOH.

研究論文（学術雑誌）, © 2018 Elsevier B.V. The effectiveness of applying selective laser melting (SLM) to a CoCrFeNiTi-based high-entropy alloy was compared with that of using electron beam melting (EBM). The higher solidification rate during SLM promoted a fine uniform microstructure with no visible segregation, which led to superior tensile properties (yield strength: 773.0 ± 4.2 MPa, ultimate tensile strength: 1178.0 MPa, elongation: 25.8 ± 0.6%) and a higher pitting potential (0.88 ± 0.03 V versus Ag/AgCl in a 3.5% NaCl solution at 353 K) in comparison to the EBM specimens (743.4 ± 11.6, 932.2 ± 4.8 MPa, 4.0 ± 0.2%, and 0.50 ± 0.04 V versus Ag/AgCl, respectively). The effect of a solution treatment on the tensile properties and pitting-corrosion resistance of the SLM specimens was then examined. The effect of the solution treatment on these properties depended on the cooling method used during the treatment. In particular, the tensile properties and pitting-corrosion resistance improved as a result of water quenching. On the other hand, the properties of the solution-treated specimens depended on the size and volume fraction of very fine-ordered particles, with diameters of tens of nanometers that contained Ni and Ti. The as-built and solution-treated SLM specimens exhibited excellent tensile strength and exceptional pitting-corrosion resistance; they had higher tensile strength and pitting-corrosion resistance than the conventional high-corrosion-resistant alloys.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, A well-designed experimental method has been presented to in-situ visualize the amorphous-to-crystalline phase transformation of two glass formers at the atomic length scale in the supercooled liquid region using a high voltage electron microscopy (HVEM). Analysis of the HVEM high-resolution images, supported by the in situ synchrotron diffraction, further confirms previous observations of distinctively different crystallization pathways in the two Zr-Cu-Al alloys. Moreover, the HVEM results illustrate that isolated distributed nanocrystals with mutual orientation easily grew up from the Zr56Cu36Al8, an average glass former, which follows a classical crystallization pathway; while density population poorly ordered atomic clusters with large misorientation suspended the growth in the Zr46Cu46Al8, a good glass former, which might follow an unusual crystallization pathway. In addition, in-situ synchrotron diffraction measurements confirm that the Zr56Cu36Al8 alloy finally crystallized into an extended structure, in contrast, the final crystalline product of Zr46Cu46Al8 alloy possesses a damped structure. Our study provides a detailed microscopic understanding of the crystallization behaviors in the supercooled liquids, showing that the density population nucleation site with large misorientation and the confined final crystalline structure contribute to the stability of Zr-Cu-Al supercooled liquids.

Photochemistry and the role of light during the submerged photosynthesis of zinc oxide nanorods

Scientific Reports, 8, 1, 177, Nature Publishing Group, 2018年12月01日, ［査読有り］
英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Recently, metal oxide nanocrystallites have been synthesized through a new pathway, i.e., the submerged photosynthesis of crystallites (SPSC), and flower-like ZnO nanostructures have been successfully fabricated via this method. However, the photochemical reactions involved in the SPSC process and especially the role of light are still unclear. In the present work, we discuss the reaction mechanism for SPSC-fabricated ZnO nanostructures in detail and clarify the role of light in SPSC. The results show that both photoinduced reactions and hydrothermal reactions are involved in the SPSC process. The former produces OH radicals, which is the main source of OH - at the ZnO crystal tips, whereas the latter generates ZnO. Although ZnO nanocrystals can be obtained under both UV irradiation and dark conditions with the addition of thermal energy, light promotes ZnO growth and lowers the water pH to neutral, whereas thermal energy promotes ZnO corrosion and increases the water pH under dark conditions. The study concludes that the role of light in the submerged photosynthesis of crystallites process is to enhance ZnO apical growth at relatively lower temperature by preventing the pH of water from increasing, revealing the environmentally benign characteristics of the present process.

Evolution of 3D nanoporosity and morphology in selectively dealloying ternary Au₅₅Cu₂₅Si₂₀ metallic glass ribbon with enhanced alcohol electro-oxidation performance.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Current fabrication methods of nanoporous gold (NPG) mainly rely on dealloying Ag-Au binary crystalline precursors, typically Ag65Au35, with the "dealloying threshold" or "parting limit" above 55 at%. Here we report a simple chemical dealloying process, through selective dissolution of one element from a Au55Cu25Si20 metallic glass ribbon with low 'parting limit', and a novel peculiar three-dimensional 'cone shaped protrusion' nanoporous structure which has never been reported before. In this structure, a metastable gold silicide formed in the initial dealloying stage was decomposed into gold nanoparticles and amorphous SiOx in the later coarsening stage. Our finding provides insights into the underlying relationship between 'parting limit' and atomic level structure of metallic glass. Comprehensive discussions on the porosity evolution stages as well as the correlation between the porous 'cone shaped protrusion' development and potential energy landscape are made in this report. The fabricated 3D NPG also exhibited excellent electro-oxidation catalytic ability attributed to the high density of low-coordinated atomic sites provided by the gold particle inside of 'cone shaped protrusion'.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, In this paper, we show the first production of Cu-based electrode materials including self-assembled barrier layers which can prevent Cu-Si inter-diffusion during sintering and are expected to be applicable to crystalline Si photovoltaics. The characteristics of electrodes produced by mixed Cu-P/Sn pastes at various compositions were evaluated. Electrodes sintered in an atmospheric environment showed electrical resistivity of below 1 × 10−4 Ω・cm. In addition, the formation of compounds such as Cu3Si at the Si surface was prevented with a Sn particle ratio ranging between 20 and 60 wt%. The structural analysis revealed that the electrode included not only a Cu-Sn IMCs network but also a self-assembled Sn-P-O glass phase between the Cu-Sn IMCs network and the Si substrate, capable of forming a barrier layer to prevent Cu-Si inter-diffusion. These results may enable the widespread use of atmospherically sintered Cu-based electrode for the mass production of next-generation crystalline Si solar cells. Subsequently, the manner in which the Sn-P-O glasses were formed was discussed using a thermos-dynamical approach.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, For design the patterned nanostructure array (PNSA) on material surface using a nanosecond pulsed laser, we investigated the influence of phase shift between scattered lights on silicon (Si) substrate using 30-nm-wide gold lines (GLs) spacings. At a spacing of 5,871 nm, ten nanodot (ND) arrays were formed at intervals of 533 nm by nanosecond pulsed laser. The results show that the formation of the PNSA was affected by the resonance of scattered light. We conclude that ND arrays were formed with a spacing of Λ = nλ. And we have designed PNSA comprising two ND arrays on the substrate. The PNSA with dimensions of 1,600 nm × 1,600 nm was prepared using GLs.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Stainless steel has shown potential as a catalytic material in bulk form. However, it only becomes active in an aqueous acidic environment and elevated temperatures. This study aims to produce stainless steel nanoparticles that have high photocatalytic activity in a neutral medium and at room temperature and to elucidate the photocatalytic activity mechanism of the nanoparticles. Spherical, photocatalytic nanoparticles called “nanoballs” were synthesized by the submerged glow-discharge method. Stainless steel SUS316L grade wire was used as the cathode, platinum mesh was used as the anode while the electrolyte was potassium carbonate. The nanoballs were obtained after centrifuging and washing with water. The physical characteristics of the photocatalytic nanoballs were analysed by scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The nanoballs were mixed with methylene blue and irradiated with ultraviolet light for the evaluation of photocatalytic reaction. The photodecomposition samples were determined using UV-vis spectrometry. The by-products of the photodecomposition were evaluated using mass spectrometry. The results show that stainless steel nanoballs have photocatalytic activity when irridiated with ultraviolet light at room temperature. Submerged glow-discharge plasma method can synthesize nanoparticles rapidly using only metal wires as the electrode.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Nanoporous gold (NPG) with bi-continuous ligaments and pores structure has promising potential in functional applications, among which one prominent example is fuel cell electrocatalysts. However, current application of NPG is mostly limited to methanol electro-oxidation (MOR) due to its weak catalytic performance. Here we report a simple chemical dealloying process for generating peculiar three-dimensional (3D) free-standing NPG with ‘parting limit’ as low as 25 % (lower than theoretical ‘paring limit’ 55 %) and high specific surface area (maximum ≈31 m2 g−1) associated with a novel porous ‘cone shaped protrusion’ morphology. This NPG structure possesses the highest specific activity of MOR catalytic performance reported NPG catalysts so far. In addition, taking advantage of this excellent structural feature of the NPG, a nanoporous Pd catalyst (NPG@Pd) thin film was fabricated on the NPG substrate. The NPG@Pd catalyst exhibited greatly enhanced MOR performance (maximum MOR specific activity 2.14 mA cm−2). We attribute the enhancement of MOR activity to the increase of active sites as well as the modification of surface composition and electronic structure due to migration of Au to the Pd thin film layer.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The composite consists of disordered and ordered iron platinum (FePt) alloys was induced by nanosecond pulsed laser (NPL) irradiation. The process was investigated by laser high-voltage electron microscopy (laser-HVEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The structural transformation upon NPL irradiation was monitored by laser-HVEM imaging, with the structure being modified in a short second after the one pulse. XRD analyses revealed expanded and contracted lattice distances before and after NPL irradiation, respectively. According to the XRD and TEM results, the surface of FePt alloys was transformed from fct to fcc structure with structural strain by NPL irradiation.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Noble metal nanoparticles strongly adhered to dielectric matrices have been extensively studied because of their potential applications in plasmonic devices based on tunable localized surface plasmon (LSP) excitation. Compared with conventional synthesis methods, the noble metal nanoparticles formed by ion-beam irradiation draw significant interest in recent years because a single layer dispersion of nanoparticles strongly bonded on the dielectric substrate can be obtained. In this paper, important phenomena related to ion-beam surface nanostructuring including ion-induced reshaping of metal nanoparticles, ion-induced core-satellite structure formation, and ion-induced burrowing of these nanoparticles are discussed, with their individual effects on LSP excitation. Consequently, ion-induced surface nanostructuring of Ag-Au bimetallic films on amorphous silica glass and sapphire with tunable LSP excitation are presented. In addition, theoretical studies of far-field and near-field optical properties of these nanoparticles under ion irradiation are introduced, and the enhanced localized electric field (hot spot) is interpreted. Finally, the futures and challenges of the emerging plasmonic applications based on tunable LSP excitations in bio-sensing and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) are presented.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The in situ observation of Au dot formation and the self-assembly dynamics of Au nanoparticles (NPs) was successfully demonstrated via dewetting of Au thin films on SiO2 glass substrates under nano-second pulsed laser irradiation using a multi-quantum beam high-voltage electron microscope. Moreover, using electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) performed in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), the plasmonic properties of the formed Au/SiO2 nanostructure were analyzed to demonstrate its validity in advanced optical devices. The uniformly distributed Au NPs evolved into a dot alignment through movement and coalescence processes was demonstrated in this in situ observation. We carried out the plasmon-loss images of the plan view and the cross-section of the Au/SiO2 nanostructures were obtained at the plasmon-loss peak energy for investigate the three-dimensional distribution of surface plasmon. Furthermore, discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) calculations were used to simulate the plasmonic properties, such as the surface plasmon resonance and the surface plasmon field distribution, of isolated single Au/SiO2 nanostructures. This STEM-EELS-acquired surface plasmon map of the cross-sectional sample is in excellent agreement with the DDA calculations. This results demonstrated the influence of the contact condition between Au NP and SiO2 glass on the plasmonic properties, and may improve the technology for developing advanced optical devices.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Large amounts of void swelling still limit the application of austenitic stainless steels in nuclear reactors due to radiation-induced lattice point defects. In this study, laser and/or beam irradiation was conducted in a temperature range of 573-773 K to explore the suppression of void swelling. The results show that during sequential laser-electron beam irradiation, the void nucleation is enhanced because of the vacancy clusters and void nuclei formed under pre-laser irradiation, causing greater void swelling than single electron beam irradiation. However, simultaneous laser-electron dual-beam irradiation exhibits an obvious suppression effect on void swelling due to the enhanced recombination between interstitials and vacancies in the temperature range of 573-773 K; especially at 723 K, the swelling under simultaneous dual-beam irradiation is 0.031% which is only 22% of the swelling under electron beam irradiation (0.137%). These results provide new insight into the suppression of void swelling during irradiation. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We report the fabrication of flower-like CuO nanostructured surfaces via submerged photo-synthesis of crystallites (SPSC), which requires only UV illumination in neutral water. In this paper, we discuss the reaction mechanism of the photochemical formation of the SPSC-fabricated CuO nanostructures in detail based on surface microstructural analyses and a radiation-chemical consideration with additional gamma-ray irradiation. Since the SPSC method for surface nanostructural fabrication can work at low temperatures at atmospheric pressure without using harmful substances, it is a potential fabrication method for green nanotechnology applications. In this vein, the antibacterial activity of the nano-flowered CuO surfaces was tested against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli K12) bacteria, and the results demonstrate that the nano-flowered CuO nanostructures act as an effective antimicrobial agent.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, ZnO photocatalysts in water react with environmental water molecules and corrode under illumination. ZnO nanorods in water can also grow because of water splitting induced by UV irradiation. To investigate their morphological behavior caused by crystal growth and corrosion, here we developed a new laser-equipped high-voltage electron microscope and observed crystal ZnO nanorods immersed in ionic liquid. Exposing the specimen holder to a laser with a wavelength of 325 nm, we observed the photo-corrosion in situ at the atomic scale for the first time. This experiment revealed that Zn and O atoms near the interface between the ZnO nanorods and the ionic liquid tended to dissolve into the liquid. The polarity and facet of the nanorods were strongly related to photocorrosion and crystal growth. (C) 2017 Author(s).

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, An anomaly in differential scanning calorimetry has been reported in a number of metallic glass materials in which a broad exothermal peak was observed between the glass and crystallization temperatures. The mystery surrounding this calorimetric anomaly is epitomized by four decades long studies of Pd-Ni-P metallic glasses, arguably the best glass-forming alloys. Here we show, using a suite of in situ experimental techniques, that Pd-Ni-P alloys have a hidden amorphous phase in the supercooled liquid region. The anomalous exothermal peak is the consequence of a polyamorphous phase transition between two supercooled liquids, involving a change in the packing of atomic clusters over medium-range length scales as large as 18 angstrom. With further temperature increase, the alloy reenters the supercooled liquid phase, which forms the room-temperature glass phase on quenching. The outcome of this study raises a possibility to manipulate the structure and hence the stability of metallic glasses through heat treatment.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, When applied in optoelectronic devices, a ZnO semiconductor dominantly absorbs or emits ultraviolet light because of its direct electron transition through a wide energy bandgap. On the contrary, crystal defects and nanostructure morphology are the chief key factors for indirect, interband transitions of ZnO optoelectronic devices in the visible light range. By ultraviolet illumination in ultrapure water, we demonstrate here a conceptually unique approach to tune the shape of ZnO nanorods from tapered to capped end via apical surface morphology control. We show that oxygen vacancy point defects activated by excitonic effects near the tip-edge of a nanorod serve as an optoelectrical hotspot for the light-driven formation and tunability of the optoelectrical properties. A double increase of electron energy absorption on near band edge energy of ZnO was observed near the tip-edge of the tapered nanorod. The optoelectrical hotspot explanation rivals that of conventional electrostatics, impurity control, and alkaline pH control-associated mechanisms. Thus, it highlights a new perspective to understanding light-driven nanorod formation in pure neutral water.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We succeeded in fabricating a Co1.5CrFeNi1.5Ti0.5Mo0.1 high entropy alloy with superior tensile strength and corrosion resistance by a combination of additive manufacturing using selective electron beam melting (SEBM) and solution treatment (ST). The SEEM specimens exhibited superior tensile properties to those of the corresponding casting specimen. Furthermore, the tensile properties and corrosion properties of the SEEM specimens markedly improved by ST. These notable improvements are ascribed to homogeneous precipitation of very fine particulate ordering-phase particles whose diameters are several tens of nanometers with Ni and Ti concentrations. The solution-treated SEBM specimens also exhibited both high strength and high pitting potential, which in combination are superior to the conventional alloys used in severe corrosion environments.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, In this study, we propose a reaction mechanism for atmospherically sintered copper-phosphorus (CueP) alloy electrodes which are expected to replace silver (Ag) electrodes. Structural analysis using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has revealed that not only copper phosphide (Cu3P) but also copper phosphates of Cu2P2O7, Cu-3(PO4)(2) and Cu2PO4 distributed mainly at the P-concentrated region of the metallic part, where Cu3P distributed before sintering. In addition, the ordered superstructures which have a period based on the specific lattice spacing of Cu3P {002} were newly discovered. From structural analysis, we estimated the mechanisms comprised of the decomposition of Cu3P accompanied by a lack of Cu and P, then formation of metastable phases involving structural vacancies, and eventual transition to the copper phosphates. We also discussed another manner of forming the copper phosphates by the thermo-dynamical approach. Our results may provide a way to reduce the electrical resistivity of Cu-P alloy electrodes by controlling the structures including the deoxidized Cu. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The initial stages of the Au-NPs array arrangement were also successfully observed, and long-range quasi-two-dimensional Au-NPs arrangements were found after laser irradiation. Moreover, the effect of Rayleigh instability to form multiple Au-NPs in each line of the network structure after the hole growth in the Au thin film was confirmed. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Luminescent silicon nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention for their potential uses in various applications. Many approaches have been reported to protect the surface of silicon nanoparticles and prevent their easy oxidation. Various air-stable luminescent silicon nanoparticles have been successfully prepared. However, the effect of interactions of the pi-electron system with the silicon surface on the excited state properties of silicon nanoparticles is unclear. In this study, we have successfully prepared silicon nanoparticles protected with three organic compounds (styrene, 1-decene, and 1-vinyl naphthalene) and have examined their photophysical properties. The ligand pi-electron systems on the silicon surface promoted the light harvesting ability for the luminescence through a charge transfer transition between the protective molecules and silicon nanoparticles and also enhanced the radiative rate of the silicon nanoparticles.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, In this study, we evaluate the atmospheric sintering behavior and characteristics of electrodes produced by copper-phosphorus (Cu-P) alloy paste containing various amounts of B2O3-Bi2O3-SiO2 glass frits. We demonstrate the need for a certain extent of glass frits to expand the applicable temperature for use of Cu-P alloy paste shifted to the higher temperature side, where commercial pastes for crystalline silicon (Si) photovoltaics are sintered, although the minimum electrical resistivity of the Cu-P alloy electrode increased by increasing the amount of glass frits. Based on the characteristics of the Cu-P alloy electrode, the need to expand the Cu crystal network and prevent the oxidization of generated Cu has emerged to reduce electrical resistivity. A crystalline BiPO4 was formed in the sintered Cu-P alloy electrode, which suggests a reaction between partially crystallized glass frits and P2O5 generated from Cu-P-O glass derived from the Cu-P alloy that has occurred. Subsequently, the sintering behavior of Cu-P alloy paste, including the glass frits, was discussed based on the results of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Stainless steel nanoparticles or 'nanoballs' have been synthesised using submerged glow-discharge plasma. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the nanoballs are uniformly spherical and size distribution estimation showed that their diameters are below 200nm. The decomposition of methylene blue solution under ultraviolet light with the wavelength of 354nm was observed in the presence of stainless steel nanoballs. A mixture of stainless steel nanoballs and 0.1% methylene blue dye was irradiated with ultraviolet light. The concentration of methylene blue was reduced to baseline level in 72hours. This shows that the stainless steel nanoballs have photocatalytic ability. In stainless steel nanoballs, methylene blue showed two different decomposition pathways; showing fast and slow reactions. Also, methylene blue was oxidised into sulphoxide before reducing into lighter by-products. X-ray diffraction analysis has shown that the nanoballs consist of Fe2O3 and Cr2O3, which are photocatalytically active species.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We report a new production pathway for a variety of metal oxide nanocrystallites via submerged illumination in water: submerged photosynthesis of crystallites (SPSC). Similar to the growth of green plants by photosynthesis, nanocrystallites shaped as nanoflowers and nanorods are hereby shown to grow at the protruded surfaces via illumination in pure, neutral water. The process is photocatalytic, accompanied with hydroxyl radical generation via water splitting; hydrogen gas is generated in some cases, which indicates potential for application in green technologies. Together with the aid of ab initio calculation, it turns out that the nanobumped surface, as well as aqueous ambience and illumination are essential for the SPSC method. Therefore, SPSC is a surfactant-free, low-temperature technique for metal oxide nanocrystallites fabrication.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The influence of a directly adjacent or an anisotropic surrounding medium alters the plasmonic properties of a nanoparticle because it provides a mechanism for symmetry breaking of the scattering. Given the success of ion irradiation induced embedment of rigid metallic nanospheroids into amorphous substrate, it is possible to examine the effect of the silica glass substrate on the plasmonic properties of these embedded nanospheroids. In this work presented here, discrete dipole approximation (DDA) calculations for the Au nanospheroids' optical properties were performed based on 3-dimensional (3D) configuration extracted from planar SEM micrographs and cross-sectional TEM micrographs of the Au nanospheroids partially embedded in the silica glass, and the well-matched simulations with respect to the experimental measurements could demonstrate the dielectric constant at the near surface of silica glass decreased after Ar-ion irradiation.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We investigate the laser wavelength dependence of structural and magnetic transitions on the surface of an iron-aluminum (FeAl) alloy induced by nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation. The formation of self-organized FeAl stripes with a wavelength-dependent period is observed in a local area on the (111)-oriented plane. Focused magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements reveal that the coercivity reaches up to 1.2 kOe with increasing the magnetic field rotation angle, which is estimated from the stripe direction, in FeAl stripes irradiated at 355 nm, and its magnetization reversal can be explained by the domain-wall motion model. On the other hand, the magnetization reversal agrees with the Stoner-Wohlfarth model in FeAl stripes irradiated at 1064 nm. This magnetic transition originates from the B2-to-A2 phase transition in stripe structures and bulk regions. These results indicate that the magnetic transition from the incoherent to coherent mode as well as the structural transformation of stripe patterns can be controlled by the incident laser wavelength.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We investigate magnetic properties of FeAl stripes and dots formed on the surface of Fe₅₂Al₄₈ induced by nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation. According to the in-plane magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) measurements, the magnetization reversal in FeAl stripes can be explained by the domain-wall (DW) motion model, indicating that the magnetization rotates incoherently. In contrast, the in-plane and polar MOKE measurements reveal that the magnetic easy axis of the FeAl dots exists along the out-of-plane direction and the coercive force H_c shows as large as 1 kOe. These results indicate that the nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation can be expected to serve as a useful tool for obtaining magnetic nanostructures and creating high-H_c materials.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We report a technique for formation of two-dimensional (2D) nanodot (ND) patterns on gaillium antimoide (GaSb) using a nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation with 532 nm wavelength. The patterns have formed because of the interference and the self-organization under energy deposition of the laser irradiation, which induced the growth of NDs on the local area. The NDs are grown and shrunken in the pattern by energy depositions. In the laser irradiation with average laser energy density of 35 mJ cm(-2), large and small NDs are formed on GaSb surface. The large NDs have grown average diameter from 160 to 200 nm with increase of laser pulses, and the small NDs have shrunken average diameter from 75 to 30 nm. The critical dot size is required about 107 nm for growth of the NDs in the patterns. Nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation can control the self-organized ND size on GaSb in air as a function of the laser pulses. (c) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We demonstrate the formation of magnetic nanostripes on the surface of Fe52Al48 induced by nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation and investigate their magnetic properties. The magnetic stripe consists of a disordered A2 phase of Fe-Al alloys with Al-oxide along the [110] direction on the (111)-oriented plane. According to the focused magneto-optical Kerr effect measurement, the coercive force of the magnetic stripe obeys the 1/cos theta law, where theta is the field rotation angle estimated from the stripe direction. Also, the jump field can be observed in the magnetic hysteresis loop. These results indicate that the magnetization reversal in the magnetic stripe originates from the domain pinning, showing that the magnetization rotates incoherently. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.

Effects of ion and nanosecond-pulsed laser co-irradiation on the surface nanostructure of Au thin films on SiO2 glass substrates

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Ion irradiation and short-pulsed laser irradiation can be used to form nanostructures on the surfaces of substrates. This work investigates the synergistic effects of ion and nanosecond-pulsed laser co-irradiation on surface nanostructuring of Au thin films deposited under vacuum on SiO2 glass substrates. Gold nanoparticles are randomly formed on the surface of the substrate after nanosecond-pulsed laser irradiation under vacuum at a wavelength of 532 nm with a repetition rate of 10 Hz and laser energy density of 0.124 kJ/m(2). Gold nanoparticles are also randomly formed on the substrate after 100-keV Ar+ ion irradiation at doses of up to 3.8 x 10(15) ions/cm(2), and nearly all of these nanoparticles are fully embedded in the substrate. With increasing ion irradiation dose (number of incident laser pulses), the mean diameter of the Au nanoparticles decreases (increases). However, Au nanoparticles are only formed in a periodic surface arrangement after co-irradiation with 6000 laser pulses and 3.8 x 10(15) ions/cm(2). The periodic distance is similar to 540 nm, which is close to the wavelength of the nanosecond-pulsed laser, and the mean diameter of the Au nanoparticles remains at similar to 20 nm with a relatively narrow distribution. The photoabsorption peaks of the ion-or nanosecond-pulsed laser-irradiated samples clearly correspond to the mean diameter of Au nanoparticles. Conversely, the photoabsorption peaks for the co-irradiated samples do not depend on the mean nanoparticle diameter. This lack of dependence is likely caused by the periodic nanostructure formed on the surface by the synergistic effects of co-irradiation. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.

Spherical Au nanoparticle/SiO2 glass nanocomposites were formed on the surface of the Au thin films deposited on the SiO2 glass substrates after nanosecondpulsed laser irradiation in air with a wavelength of 532 nm at a repetition rate of 2 Hz and a laser energy density of 0.7 kJ/m(2). Au nanoparticles were periodically arranged on the substrates under laser irradiation perpendicular to the direction of the electrical field vector of the laser light, the average diameter of Au nanoparticles was increased from 59.3 to 67.4 nm and the average distance of the laser induced periodical structure was decreased from 1.3 to 1.0 mu m as the number of laser pulses increased from 1000 to 1500. After 2000 pulses irradiation, an additional laser irradiation induced periodical structure was formed in the direction parallel to the electrical field vector of the laser. The average periodicity of this nanostructure perpendicular to the initial nanostructure was 560 nm, which is close to the wavelength of the nanosecond-pulsed laser used in this study. The average diameter of these Au nanoparticles is 41.9 nm which is smaller than that of the Au nanoparticles formed after 1000 pulses irradiation. Au nanoparticles were generally dispersed on the surface while some were embedded in the substrate. After 1500 pulses irradiation, the diameter of the Au nanoparticles on the Au(30 nm)/SiO2(0.8 mm) is relatively larger than that of the Au nanoparticles on the Au(20 nm)/SiO2(0.1 mm). Each of laser irradiated sample showed an own photoabsorption peak clearly in this study. Furthermore, effects of the average diameter of the Au nanoparticles on the photoabsorption peak are discussed. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Effects of Ar-ion induced surface nanostructuring were studied using 100 key Ar-ion irradiation of 30 nm Ag-Au bimetallic films deposited on Al2O3 single crystals, under irradiation fluences ranging from 5.0 x 10(15) cm(-2) to 6.3 x 10(16) cm(-2). Scanning electron microscope was used to study the ion-beam-induced surface nanostructuring. As the irradiation fluence increased, dewetting of the bimetallic films on the Al2O3 substrate was observed, and formation of isolated Ag-Au nanostructures sustained on the substrate were obtained. Next, thermal annealing was performed under high vacuum at 1073 K for 2 h; a layer of photosensitive Ag-Au alloy nanoballs partially embedded in the Al2O3 substrate was obtained when higher fluence irradiation (>3.8 x 10(16) cm(-2)) was used. The microstructures of the nanoballs were investigated using a transmission electron microscope, and the nanoballs were found to be single crystals with a FCC structure. In addition, photoabsorption spectra were measured, and localized surface plasmon resonance peaks were observed. With increase in the irradiation fluence, the size of the Ag-Au nanoballs on the substrate decreased, and a blue-shift of the LSPR peaks was observed. Further control of the LSPR frequency over a wide range was achieved by modifying the chemical components, and a red-shift of the LSPR peaks was observed as the Au concentration increased. In summary, ion irradiation is an effective approach toward surface nanostructuring, and the nanocomposites obtained have potential applications in optical devices. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Remarkable magneto-optical properties of a new isolator material, that is, europium sulfide nanocrystals with gold (EuS-Au nanosystem), has been demonstrated for a future photo-information technology. Attachment of gold particles that exhibit surface plasmon resonance leads to amplification of the magneto-optical properties of the EuS nanocrystals. To construct the EuS-Au nanosystems, cubic EuS and spherical Au nanocrystals have been joined by a variety of organic linkers, that is, 1,2-ethanedithiol (EDT), 1,6-hexanedithiol (HDT), 1,10-decanedithiol (DDT), 1,4-bisethanethionaphthalene (NpEDT), or 1,4-bisdecanethionaphthalene (NpDDT). Formation of these systems was observed by XRD, TEM, and absorption spectra measurements. The magneto-optical properties of the EuS-Au nanosystem have been characterized by using Faraday rotation spectroscopy. The Faraday rotation angle of the EuS-Au nanosystem is dependent on the Au particle size and interparticle distance between EuS and Au nanocrystals. Enhancement of the Faraday rotation of EuS-Au nanosystems was observed. The spin configuration in the excited state of the EuS-Au nanosystem was also investigated using photo-assisted electron paramagnetic resonance.

JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS, 114, 5, 054308-054308-9, AMER INST PHYSICS, 2013年08月
英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Ag-Au bimetallic nanospheroids with tunable localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) were synthesized by 100 keV Ar-ion irradiation of 30 nm Ag-Au bimetallic films deposited on SiO2 glass substrates. A shift of the LSPR peaks toward shorter wavelengths was observed up to an irradiation fluence of 1.0 x 10(17) cm(-2), and then shifted toward the longer wavelength because of the increase of fragment volume under ion irradiation. Further control of LSPR frequency over a wider range was realized by modifying the chemical components. The resulting LSPR frequencies lie between that of the pure components, and an approximate linear shift of the LSPR toward the longer wavelength with the Au concentration was achieved, which is in good agreement with the theoretical calculations based on Gans theory. In addition, the surface morphology and compositions were examined with a scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer, and microstructural characterizations were performed using a transmission electron microscope. The formation of isolated photosensitive Ag-Au nanospheroids with a FCC structure partially embedded in the SiO2 substrate was confirmed, which has a potential application in solid-state devices.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We have studied nanopatterns induced by nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation on (111) plane surfaces of a polycrystalline iron-aluminum alloy and evaluated their magnetic properties. Multiple nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation induces a wavelength-dependent surface transformation of the lattice structure from a B2-type to a supersaturated body centered cubic lattice. The selective formation of surface nanopatterns consisting of holes, stripes, polygonal networks, and dot-like nanoprotrusions can be observed. Furthermore, focused magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements reveal that the magnetic properties of the resultant nanostructured region changes from a paramagnetic to a ferromagnetic phase in accordance with the number of laser pulses.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, A high-voltage electron microscope (HVEM) equipped with a laser head (laser-HVEM) was developed at Hokkaido University and is used to investigate the surface modification of semiconductors and the behaviour of lattice point defects in metals under various irradiations of laser (photon) and/or electron beams. In the present study, the annealing effect of pulsed laser irradiation on a face-centred-cubic metal was experimentally investigated and theoretically calculated. The systematic assessment of dislocation loop evolution under laser-electron sequential irradiation and laser-electron dual-beam irradiation was performed. Our results show that the rapid heating and quenching that occurred during pulsed laser irradiation caused vacancies to be introduced at the surface of the specimen and to diffuse to the interior, which led to the formation and growth of vacancy-type (V-type) dislocation loops. These loops gradually shrank and finally disappeared during the subsequent electron irradiation of the sample. During laser-electron simultaneous dual-beam irradiation, the type of loop formed, interstitial-type (I-type) or V-type loops, is determined by the relative intensities of the laser beam and electron beam, which indicates that the loop type can be controlled by changing the relative intensities of the beams. Accordingly, models of dislocation loop formation during various irradiations were proposed. The newly developed laser-HVEM instrument is expected to be employed in the exploration of mechanisms in material science, as well as in other scientific fields. (c) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The behavior of radiation-induced segregation (RIS) and intergranular corrosion at random grain boundaries and Sigma 3 coincidence site lattice (CSL) boundaries in proton-irradiated 316L stainless steel was examined. The frequency of the CSL boundaries was enhanced up to 86.6% by grain boundary engineering treatment prior to irradiation. Significant nickel enrichment and chromium depletion were induced at the random grain boundary owing to the RIS. At faceted Sigma 3 CSL boundaries, chromium depletion occurred at the asymmetrical boundary facet plane whereas no RIS was observed at the coherent twin boundary. After the electrochemical etching test, an intergranular corrosion groove was found along the random grain boundaries because of the low chromium concentration (similar to 12%) at the boundaries. At the faceted Sigma 3 CSL boundaries, the discontinuous groove along the asymmetric facet plane was completely disrupted by the non-corrosive coherent twin boundary. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 3, 01201, NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013年02月, ［査読有り］
英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Randomly distributed lattice point defects such as supersaturated vacancies (SVs) and Frenkel-pairs (FPs, an interstitial and a vacancy) can be simultaneously introduced into the crystal by energetic beam irradiation in outer space and/or nuclear reactors, but their behavior has not been fully understood. Using a high-voltage electron microscope equipped with a laser (laser-HVEM), we show the striking effects of simultaneous laser-electron (photon-electron) dual-beam irradiation on void formation. Our results reveal that during laser-electron sequential irradiation, pre-laser irradiation enhanced void nucleation and subsequent electron irradiation enhanced void growth. However, the laser-electron dual-beam irradiation was analyzed to depress void swelling remarkably because the recombination of SVs and interstitials was enhanced. The results provide insight into the mechanism underlying the dual-beam radiation-induced depression of void swelling in solids.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Effects of the irradiation dose on surface nanostructuring accompanied with the dewetting process of Au films deposited on SiO2 glass were examined using an atomic force microscope and a scanning electron microscope. In addition, the microstructural evolution and the chemical concentration of Au films were investigated using a transmission electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive spectrometer. As increasing the Ar ion irradiation dose, the lattice expansion of Au nanoscale islands sustained on the SiO2 glass was observed and irradiation-induced lattice defects together with irradiation-induced interface ion mixing were accounted for this lattice expansion. Finally a layer of photosensitive Au nanoballs with highly spherical shape embedded in a SiO2 substrate was obtained after Ar ion irradiation to 10.0 x 10(16)/cm(2) and some of Au nanoballs were found to be single crystals. As the irradiation energy of the Ar ions increased from 100 to 150 keV, the average diameter of the Au nanoballs in the substrate increased and the red shift of the SPR peak was observed. This tendency of the experimental SPR peaks corresponded with that of the theoretically calculated SPR peaks using Mie solution.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The relationship between surface cracking at grain boundaries and the grain boundary nature in helium implanted 316L austenitic stainless steel was investigated by in situ annealing in a high-voltage electron microscope, and by SEM and TEM observations. The nucleation and growth of helium bubbles at a random grain boundary was observed during annealing up to 973 K. After annealing, surface cracking was observed at the random grain boundaries and some coincidence site lattice (CSL) boundaries because of the formation and rupture of the helium bubbles at these grain boundaries. At the faceted CSL boundaries, surface cracking occurred only on one boundary facet plane. This indicates that the twin boundary and pure tilt Sigma 9 CSL boundary show the highest resistance to cracking because of their low boundary energies. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The electric plasma discharge method involves the application of a voltage between a cathode and anode in a conductive electrolytic solution to create a discharge plasma at the cathode. When certain material is used as the cathode, small droplets are emitted with the plasma discharge, and the melted droplets are rapidly cooled in the solution to form nanoscale particles of the material. In this work, nanoparticles of Al, Au, Si, and various alloys of between 100 nm and less than 10 nm in size were produced and characterized. Characterization of Si nanoparticles is especially important because their use in lithium batteries greatly influences battery performance. It was found by high resolution electron microscopy and microstructural surface analysis that oxidation layers of a few nm in thickness were formed on the surface of the Si nanoparticles.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, To evaluate the lifetime of structural materials utilized in a spallation neutron source, corrosion tests in lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) have been done at JAEA. Austenitic steels are preferable as the structural material for ADS. However, previous studies have revealed that austenitic steel SS316 shows severe corrosion-erosion in LBE because of LBE penetration through grain boundaries and separation of grains. So it was considered that GBE (grain-boundary engineered) materials may be effective to improve the corrosion resistance of austenitic steels in LBE. In this study, the results of corrosion tests on austenitic steel SS316L-BM (base metal) and SS316L-GBEM (grain-boundary-engineered material) under flowing LBE conditions will be reported. The corrosion test was performed using the JAEA lead-bismuth material corrosion loop (JLBL-1). The experimental conditions were as follows: The high and low temperature parts of the loop were 450 degrees C and 350 degrees C, respectively. The flow velocity at the test specimens was about 0.7 m/s. The oxygen concentration in LBE was not controlled and was estimated to have been very low. After the 3600 h of operation, macroscopic, SEM, and SIM observations and EDX analysis were carried out. The results showed that the corrosion depth and LBE penetration through the grain boundaries of the 316SS-GBEM were smaller than those of the 316S5-BM. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, This report describes the status review of the JSPS Grant Team to develop advanced materials for the spallation neutron sources and modeling of radiation damage. One of the advanced materials is a toughness enhanced, fine-grained tungsten material (W-TiC) having four-times larger fracture toughness than ordinary tungsten and appreciable RT ductility in the recrystallized state. The other is an intergranular crack (IGC)-resistant austenitic stainless steel which was processed by the grain-boundary engineering (GBE). The experimental results are devoted to corrosion in a lead-bismuth eutectic, arrest of corrosion of weld-decay, radiation damage and creep rupture as well as new technique of GEE using a laser and annealing procedure. New technique seems to be applicable to large or complicated-shaped components. A series of the multi-scale models is built up from nuclear reaction between incident particles and medium nuclei to material property change due to radiation damage. Sample calculation is made on 3 mm-thick nickel bombarded by 3 GeV protons. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Dislocation Loop Formation and Growth under In Situ Laser and/or Electron Irradiation

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 1, 190, DOI:10.1038/srep00190, NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2011年12月
英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Vacancies and interstitial atoms are primary lattice (point) defects that cause observable microstructural changes, such as the formation of dislocation loops and voids in crystalline solids. These defects' diffusion properties determine the phase stability and environmental resistibility of macroscopic materials under ambient conditions. Although in situ methods have been proposed for measuring the diffusion energy of point defects, direct measurement has been limited. In this study, we propose an alternative in situ method to measure the activation energy for vacancy migration under laser irradiation using a pulsed laser beam from a laser-equipped high-voltage electron microscope (laser-HVEM). We made in situ observations that revealed the formation and growth of vacancy dislocation loops in an austenitic stainless steel during laser irradiation. These loops continued to grow when thermal annealing was performed after laser irradiation at the same temperature. We anticipate that laser-HVEM will provide a new method for investigating lattice defects.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, W and SiC joining has an attractive feature for high-temperature energy conversion systems. However, it is unclear and that is necessary to study the microstructure of the reaction phase between W and SIC by using the thermal diffusion bonding method. This work demonstrates the strengthening mechanism of W and SiC joining through a microstructure analysis of the reaction phase by FE-TEM/EDS and the observation of the interface in W and SiC after the crack propagation in HVEM. The reaction phase was amorphous, with a gap from 500 to 600 nm between W and SiC. Fine precipitates with a diameter of several tens nanometer were formed in the reaction phase. The reaction phase and precipitates did not match the chemical composition of the equilibrium compound. It is conceivable that the reaction phase and precipitates exist as a non-equilibrium condition before they reach equilibrium condition. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, A gold/silicon nanocomposite structure (NCS) was formed on a Si(100) surface by nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation. The Au/Si NCS contained both Au nanoparticles (NPs) and Au-Si alloy layers. We report that the use of laser irradiation to form Au NPs comprises two competing processes: a top-down effect involving decomposition into smaller NPs and a bottom-up effect involving self-assembly or self-organization into larger NPs. The formation of the periodic structure involved self-organization, i.e., the bottom-up effect, and was observed in situ using a pulsed-laser-equipped high-voltage electron microscope. The NCS formed by laser irradiation can be controlled by adjusting the laser energy density and the number of laser pulses.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Austenitic stainless steel PNC316 was subjected to grain boundary engineering (GBE). It was found that the grain boundary engineered PNC316 (PNC316-GBEM) had a coincidence site lattice (CSL) fraction of 86% and that the network of random grain boundaries was perfectly divided by the CSL boundaries. The thermal stability and the void swelling behavior of PNC316-GBEM were investigated by means of SEM and TEM analyses. After thermal aging at 973 K for 100 h, structural changes were observed neither in the grain boundary networks of PNC316-GBEM nor in another sample of PNC316-GBEM subjected to 20% additional cold rolling, PNC316-GBEM20%CW. PNC316-GBEM showed a higher void swelling rate than as-received PNC316 (PNC316-AS). However, with additional 20% cold rolling after GBE, the void swelling rate decreased to as low as that of PNC316-AS. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The crystalline structures of zinc oxide (ZnO) formed by the internal oxidation of a Pd-Zn alloy were examined at elevated temperatures. Metastable sphalerite ZnO with a tetrahedral shape preferentially nucleated in the Pd matrix, while plate-like precipitates consisting of a wurtzite ZnO phase preferentially grew at a high temperature. Unique ZnO precipitates with trapezoidal cross-section and consisting of inter-layered sequences with sphalerite ZnO and wurtzite ZnO were also examined at an intermediate temperature. It is inferred that the formation of stacking faults in the sphalerite ZnO is strongly related to the nucleation of the wurtzite-type ZnO sequence.

MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS, 52, 3, 276, 279, JAPAN INST METALS, 2011年03月
英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Faceted Sigma 3 CSL grain boundaries in silicon were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and ab-initio calculation. A {112} Sigma 3 CSL boundary consisted of two segments which differed in atomic structure. The segment near the connected corner to {111} Sigma 3 CSL boundary showed symmetric structure and the other long segment, being distant region from the corner, showed asymmetric structure. In the symmetric segment a 5-fold coordinated atom presented, which produced a deep state in the band gap. A pronounced shoulder, which could be attributed to the defect state above Fermi level, was detected only in Si-L-23 energy-loss near-edge spectra (ELNES) acquired from the symmetric segment of the {112} Sigma 3 CSL boundary near the CSL junction.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, In this paper, we presented an investigation of the phase transformation of MgH2 to Mg, in which a sample of a single-crystal MgH2 nanofiber was prepared by hydriding chemical vapor deposition (HCVD) and observed by in situ (high-resolution) transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that the orientation relationship between MgH2 and Mg during the phase change was: one of the zone axis of MgH2 < 110 > parallel to Mg [0001] zone axis, or one of the plane {110} of MgH2 parallel to the basal plane of Mg (0001). On the basis of the obtained results, we proposed a structural model for the phase change of MgH2 to Mg. Copyright (C) 2010, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, We have been successfully done in situ observation on the sequence of fracture event at the interface of NITE SiC/SiC composite examined by using miniaturized double notched shear specimen for TEM prepared by Focused Ion Beam method. In this study, we used nano-mechanics TEM experimental apparatus to investigate not only microstructure evolution and but also load and displacement curve at once in High Voltage Electron Microscope. Our results summarize as follows. Cracks were initiated at the interface between carbon coating layer on the SiC fiber and SiC matrices, and propagated along the interface. Load drop in the load and displacement curve during in-situ TEM was clearly observed at the crack initiation. The shear strength by using the miniaturized specimen is about ten times higher than that obtained by the standard testing.

Under multiple nanosecond (ns) pulsed laser irradiation shots, atomic clusters were first formed and distributed on the surface in order to grow them epitaxially into protruded dots with diameters of ten nanometers or less. This is followed by their diffusion induced by successive laser shots to cannibalize and merge them into a ripple line with aligned, larger dots. We conclude that the present subwavelength two-dimensionally-ordered nanodot array is formed by self-organization under pulsed laser irradiation. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We report the size control of Ni nanoparticles generated via solution glow discharge and focus on the effect of electrolyte concentration on Ni nanoparticles. In our experiments, voltage was applied to generate a plasma in NaOH electrolytes with concentrations ranging from 1.0 to 0.001 kmol m(-3). The applied voltage strongly depended on the electrolyte concentration, and interestingly, product size decreased with electrolyte concentration; for example, (mean diameter, applied voltage, electrolyte concentration) = (148 nm, 90 V, 0.5 kmol m(-3)), and (70 nm, 590 V, 0.001 kmol m(-3)). These results suggested the possibility of using plasma electrolysis for synthesizing size-controlled nanoparticles by changing only electrolyte concentration.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The in-reactor creep rupture tests of 11Cr-0.5Mo-2W, V. Nb F/M steel were carried out in the temperature range from 823 to 943 K using materials open test assembly in the fast flux test facility and tensile and temperature-transient-to-burst specimens were irradiated in the experimental fast reactor JOYO at temperatures between 693 and 1013 K to fast neutron doses ranging from 11 to 102 dpa. The results of post-irradiation mechanical tests showed that there was no significant degradation in tensile and transient burst strengths even after neutron irradiation below 873 K, but that there was significant degradation in both strengths at neutron irradiation above 903 K. On the other hand, the in-reactor creep rupture times were equal or greater than those of out-reactor creep even after neutron irradiation at all temperatures. This creep rupture behavior was different from that of tensile and transient burst specimens. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Atomic and electronic structures of interfaces in an internally oxidized Pd/ZnO system were Studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). {0001}(ZnO) polar planes tend to be parallel to the interface. A ZnO precipitate was terminated by an oxygen (0001) surface at one end of the precipitate and by a zinc (0001) surface at the other end of the precipitate. A pre-edge peak was detected only in O-K energy-loss near-edge spectra (ELNES) acquired from the oxygen-terminated interface. Ab initio, calculations indicated that the origin of the pre-edge peak could be attributed to the strong chemical bonding and hybridization of Pd-d and O-p orbitals at the oxygen-terminated polar interface.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Phase transformation behaviors of the austenitic 301 stainless steel was studied under Fe+, Ti+ and Ar+ ions implantation at room temperature with 100, 200 and 300 keV up to fluence of 1 x 10(21) ions/m(2) and the microstructures were observed by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The plane and cross-sectional observations of the implanted specimen showed that the induced-phases due to implantation from the gamma matrix phase were identified as alpha' martensite phases with the orientation relationship of (1 (1) over bar0)(alpha) //(11 (1) over bar)gamma and [111](alpha) // [011](gamma) close to the Kurdjumov-Sachs (K-S). The ion implantation induced phases nucleated near the surface region and the depth position of the nucleation changed depending on the ion accelerating energy and ion species. It was also found that the induced marten sites phases nucleate under the influence of the stress distribution, which is introduced due to the concentration of implanted ions, especially due to the stress gradient caused by the corresponding concentration gradient.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The autocorrelation function of the multi-Lorentzian spectra is shown to be in accord with a 1/f- type noise having a multi-relaxation time distribution, r(-alpha), and yields scaling relation forms when 0 < alpha < 2 (alpha not equal 1). The dependences of alpha on temporal autocorrelation functions in the entire range of 0 <= alpha <= 2, the corresponding power spectra of f(-2+alpha) noise and, the time reversal symmetry on the power number alpha are discussed based on the multi-Lorentzian model. The present results should be applicable to fluctuating phenomena, such as flicker noise effects and self-organized critical phenomena.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We have developed a new model for radiation-induced grain boundary migration (RIGM) and radiation-induced segregation (RIS) for austenitic iron-chromium-nickel alloy system. It was assumed that the RIS was induced by diffusional and annihilation processes of excess point defects at the grain boundary, and the RIGM occurred due to rearrangement process of atoms on one of the interfacial planes by annihilation of point defects. The calculated results indicated that the region of RIS was enlarged by the RIGM and asymmetrical concentration profiles were observed around the migrated grain boundary. The present model could explain the RIS behavior with or without grain boundary migration as comparing with our previous experimental results. (C) 2005 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The purpose of this study is to evaluate the synergistic effect of helium and hydrogen on Fe-Cr ferritic model alloys, to provide basic understanding concerning development of fusion reactor components. Single, dual and triple ion-beams consisting of Fe3+, He+ and H+ were used for irradiation, at temperatures 470-600 degreesC and dose to 50 dpa at 1 mum. The dual beam irradiation with He enhanced cavity nucleation extensively to swelling of about 0.4%, whereas the dual beam irradiation with H did not significantly affect the microstructure. In the case of triple ion irradiation, the synergistic effect of He and H was confirmed clearly; relative large void formation and enhanced swelling to almost 5%. The synergistic effect suggests that the role of H is important for void growth and dislocation bias. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, To clarify hydrogen effects on mechanical properties of pure vanadium, two kinds of tensile tests were performed using hydrogen charged miniature specimens at room temperature. One is with hydrogen charging prior to testing, and the other is with hydrogen charging during testing with continuous or intermittent methods. The cathodic hydrogen charging was carried out electrolytically in various concentrations of H2SO4 with different current densities. The hydrogen charged specimens were tested to obtain stress-strain curves. The fractography was performed by SEM, and hydride formation and microstructural change were examined by TEM. Hydrogen-induced softening and hardening in vanadium resulted from hydrogen charging. The variations in mechanical property of specimens depended on the amount of dissolved hydrogen, that was determined by hydrogen diffusion and hydrogen desorption. Dislocation motion also plays a role in the variation of flow stress. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, To understand hydrogen behavior in V and V based alloys, static and dynamic hydrogen chargings were carried out for unirradiated and irradiated V and V-4Cr-4Ti. Hydrogen can be trapped by lattice defects, dislocations, vacancies and voids, which are effective up to 500degreesC. Unexpected softening occurred at low levels of hydrogen, and hardening occurred at high levels. Alloying elements intensified the hardening, which are seen as general phenomena in V and V based alloys. A significant effect was seen for dynamic charging, which was attributed to fast diffusion and interactions with mobile dislocations. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We investigated the dependence of radiation-induced segregation (RIS) in austenitic stainless steels on grain boundary orientation by numerical calculations. A new rate equation model for RIS that incorporates the grain boundary sink strength for point defects was developed. The sink strength was determined as functions of misorientation angle and Sigma values using interaction energies of vacancy near grain boundaries as determined by molecular dynamics (MD) and statics (MS). It was shown that the calculated results can reproduce the experimental data obtained by electron and proton irradiation experiments. The good agreement supports the validity of the present model.

RADIATION EFFECTS AND ION-BEAM PROCESSING OF MATERIALS, 792, 159, 170, MATERIALS RESEARCH SOCIETY, 2004年, ［査読有り］
英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, Spatio-temporal nanostructural fluctuations brought about by transient, metastable atom-cluster formation and the manifold nature of inherent atomic ordering in electron-irradiation-amorphized NiTi were investigated by using a combination of in situ observations inside a high-resolution high-voltage electron microscope (HR-HVEM) and image analyses of molecular-dynamics-simulated atom configurations. Nanometer-sized clusters were found to appear and disappear in the irradiated region. The random formation and annihilation of such nanoclusters are believed to be responsible for nanostructural fluctuations which appear to be related to transitions among manifold inherent structural states, involving multirelaxation processes. Temporal fluctuations in the amorphized structure were manifested through the dose-dependent local amorphization parameter, potential energy, volume, and inherent cluster bonding. The observed fluctuations obey a universal power law. Within the framework of the multi-Lorentzian picture, the resultant power law describes the distribution of multirelaxation times or cluster lifetimes. In addition, a unified relation for the temporal autocorrelation function for such fluctuation phenomena has been determined.

英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, Two kinds of hot-pressed B4C specimens were irradiated with 15MeV He+ from 4.3 x 10(14) to 1.13x 10(16) ion/cm(2) at 400-760 T, and with 100keV He+ from 1.0x10(13) to 2.0x10(17)ion/cm(2) at room temperature. After ion irradiation, the microstructure of specimens was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The ion-irradiation by 15MeV helium ions produced a radiation-enhanced precipitation with Fe-rich composition and the radiation-induced amorphization in the B4C matrix, but the irradiation by 100keV helium did not make amorphization. This result suggests that the inelastic scattering (electron excitation), rather than elastic scattering, plays an important role in amorphization of B4C. The annealing of ion irradiated B4C above 1000 degrees C indicated incineration of precipitated crystals and a formation of a small numbers of helium bubbles.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Chemical and topological disorderings in the NiTi intermetallic compound during electron irradiation were studied using a combination of in situ irradiation inside a high-resolution high-voltage electron microscope and image analyses of molecular-dynamics-simulated atom configurations.

These planar defect clusters contributed to the characteristic diffuse scattering were also observed in selected-area diffraction patterns.

Within the framework of the multi-Lorentzian picture, the resultant power law also describes the multirelaxation time (i.e. cluster lifetime) distribution. In addition, a unified relation for the autocorrelation functions for such fluctuation phenomena is discussed.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Materials responses under non-equilibrium conditions, especially in the state far-from-equilibrium, have been attracting great interest. Although of limited use, there are some tools available for investigating the phenomena, e.g. theoretical approaches such as non-equilibrium thermodynamics or atomistic computer simulation. The present study centers on high-resolution TEM of ordered NiTi specimens subjected to ultra-high-speed plastic deformation at Hiroshima Institute of Technology. Various local nonequilibrium nano-phases were observed to form due to high-speed deformation. Image analysis using high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) simulation and the FFT technique revealed that those meta-stable phases in the Ni-Ti system were R-phases (Ni4Ti3), O-phases (Ni3Ti2) and amorphous phases. The current study also elaborates on the formation and nature of deformation-induced lattice invariant shear bands. Our results suggest that ultra-high-speed deformation is a promising tool to study the material responses in far-from-equilibrium states. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, In order to improve initial activation properties of TiFe alloy, simple ion implantation and ion mixing with the deposition of LaNi5 were carried out at room temperature. The results show that argon-ion mixing caused extensive improvement of initial activation, wherein hydrogenation was easily effected at 373 K and 1 MPa. Those results are related to several irradiation effects; the re-crystallization of amorphous film of LaNi5 and the local segregation of composed elements. Both of these irradiation effects greatly improve the initial hydrogenation process of TiFe alloy.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We have studied nanostructural fluctuations during electron irradiation in the ordered intermetallic compound NiTi by performing irradiation experiments with a high-resolution high-voltage electron microscope (HVEM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. It was observed that atom clusters formed and disappeared repeatedly during irradiation, which results in the structural fluctuation. Comparing the experimental results with the MD simulations, we conclude that such spatio-temporal structural fluctuations under irradiation can be accounted for the evolution of metastable nanoclusters. The present study demonstrates the usefulness of high-resolution HVEM for in situ studies of dynamic, nanoscale fluctuation phenomena.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Characterizations of Mo/Si multilayers for soft X-ray mirrors have been carried out by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray scatterings. The crystallite size of oriented Mo in the direction normal to the (110) plane has been found to be approximately equal to the designed thickness of the Mo layer below 8 nm. However, when the Mo layer thickness becomes greater than 8 nm, the crystallite size deviates from the designed thickness and saturates at about 10 nm. The Si layer thickness is smaller than the expected one, which is calculated from the periodic length and the Mo layer thickness, indicating that the mixed layer at the inter-face is formed in the Si layer. The thickness and density of the mixed layer at the Mo-on-Si inter-face are larger than those at the Si-on-Mo interface. The sum of the thicknesses of the mixed layer is about 1.4 nm, irrespective of the Mo/Si composition. Moreover, the density of the mixed layer at the Mo-on-Si interface becomes larger with the increase of the Mo content.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, In the Mo-Si system, there are three typical intermetallic compounds, In order to get insight into the phase stability under irradiation, interface structure and non-equilibrium phase formation in multilayer materials with several nanometers scale were investigated by means of high-voltage electron microscope. The initial structure was composed of crystalline Mo and amorphous Si layers. and transition layer existed at the interfaces. The thickness of transition layers is thicker at the Mo-on-Si than at the Si-on-Mo interface, While those structures were basically stable after thermal annealing up to 773 K, two types of amorphous layers developed during electron irradiation at room temperature: one is an amorphous-Si layer and the other is a Mo-Si mixing layer. And the radiation-induced amorphization was accompanied by anomalous shrinkage in the thickness of layers. It is suggested that those phenomena are related to non-equilibrium phase formation and biased diffusion process during irradiation.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, In situ tensile straining experiments have been carried out on thin films of the ordered intermetallic compound NiTi (B2 structure) in a high-voltage electron microscope. Real-time observations of stress-induced local amorphization of moving crack tips were followed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy examination of nanocrystalline regions formed near the crack tip and in the region between the amorphous and crystalline regions. We have also independently confirmed the occurrence of local amorphization by ultra-high speed deformation at an atomistic level in bulk samples of the same NiTi sample. A fast Fourier transformation (FFT) image analysis technique was used to determine the root mean square displacement (RMSD) parameter within the nanocrystalline regions. The RMSD parameter increases to a critical fraction of the nearest neighbor distance of 0.12 +/- 0.01 as the amorphous region is approached, and this finding agrees with the generalized Lindemann melting criterion for amorphization proposed by Okamoto and Lam [1,2]. The present study shows that FFT-real-space analysis technique can provide local measurements of the RMSD parameter in an inhomogeneous system.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We have carried out an atomistic study of electron-induced amorphization of an ordered intermetallic compound NiTi by means of in-situ high-resolution high-voltage electron microscopy observations and molecular dynamics simulations. Both theoretical and experimental results show that metastable nanometre-size atomic clusters form and disappear during irradiation, so that a spatiotemporal fluctuation under amorphization is induced. Mean-lifetime measurements of these clusters demonstrate that high-energy particle irradiation provides a useful tool to study dynamic fluctuations of the local atomic structure in the non-equilibrium open systems.

Predicted temperature and dose dependencies of DLFZ formation agreed with the experimental results. The relationship between RIS and DLFZ formation near a grain boundary has been substantially clarified. (C) 2001 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, For the improvement of initial activation properties in TiFe alloy, simple ion-implantation and ion-mixing with the deposition of LaNi5 were carried out at room temperature. As the result, extensive improvement of the initial activation was achieved by Argon ion-mixing, where the hydrogenation took place easily at 373 K and 1 MPa. Those results are related to several irradiation effects; the re-crystallization of amorphous film of LaNi5, the local segregation of composed elements and large amount of lattice defects. All of those factors may affect on the hydrogen dissolution on the surface and the diffusion in sub-surfaces area.

英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, Silicon thin film that was 200 nm in thickness was produced on the silicon oxide (SiO2) by Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD). Heat treatment was given at 1223 K for 4 h under Ar atmosphere. Grain size of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) film was about 230 am in diameter. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) specimen was prepared by supporting poly-Si film by Mo grid. In-situ TEM observation was performed under ion-irradiation with 100similar to300 keV C+, N+ and Ar+ at temperature range from 104 K to 773 K. Ion flux was 3.5+/-0.5x10(17) m(2)s(-1). Poly-Si irradiated at 343 K with 100 keV C+ was amorphization in the neighborhood of grain boundaries (GB). This preferential amorphization was recognized in the other irradiation condition. The amorphous phase was grown by the crystal-amorphous interface (C-A interface) migration. On the other hands, at above preferential amorphization temperature, the C-A interface migration in preferential amorphous phase was enhanced crystallization. The migration rate was depended on the mass and the energy of the incident ion. The obtained results are discussed in relation to damage energy from the incident ion.

英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, We focused on the non-equilibrium phase formation and diffusion in multi-layers in several nanometers scale by using "in-situ" observation of ion irradiation. In the samples deposited on Si substrate, the initial structure is composed of crystalline Mo and amorphous Si layers. The mixing layers with amorphous structure were formed immediately after the ion-irradiation at room temperature. Diffusion-assisted tiny voids (<1 nm) developed at the interface and then line up at the center of the a-Si layer. This is a result of a Kikrendall effect, suggesting an intensive diffusion of Si toward c-Mo at room temperature. These phenomena are discussed from non-equilibrium phase formation and biased diffusion process, which can be induced irradiation.

英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, The irradiation of energetic particles often induces chemical disordering, and subsequent amorphization of a variety of ordered intermetallic compounds. An implicit assumption of current theories of the phenomenon is that a critical degree of chemical disorder is necessary to initiate the crystal-to-amorphous transition and that once formed the amorphous phase grows monotonously with irradiation time. The development of high resolution-high-voltage electron microscopy (HR-HVEM) has made it possible to carry out in situ real-dine studies of radiation-induced structural changes on the atomic-scale. MM X structure) samples were irradiated with 1.25 MeV electrons (dose rate 1.0x10(24) e m(-2)sec(-1)) at 300, 323,373 and 523 K in HR-HVEM (JEM-ARM1300). In situ atomistic observations of electron-induced amorphization show that metastable nanometer-size atomic dusters form and disappear during irradiation. This clustering behavior induces a fluctuation in radiation-induced amorphization process. Molecular dynamics simulations also support to observe this phenomenon.

英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, The hydride formation on the surface of ZrCo and ZrNi under hydrogen exposure was investigated at 423-473 K by means of Hot-Stage Microscope. In the case of ZrCo, hydrides formed with and without ion-implanted area, the ion-mixing of Co and Ni enhanced the growth rate of hydrides by 2-3 times. The activation energy for the growth was 40 kJ/mol for the non-treated sample, and it was 32 kJ/mol for the Co ion-mixing sample. In the case of ZrNi, after implantation was 28-40 kJ/mol and depended on the ion dose. The process of the hydrogenation was different in the nucleation, growth and cracking of both alloys, Those results indicate the ion-implantation drastically activate initial stage of hydrogenation.

英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, We studied nanostructural fluctuations during electron irradiation of the ordered intermetallic compound NiII by means of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and irradiation experiments with a high resolution high-voltage electron microscope (HVEM). It was observed that metastable, nanosized atom clusters formed and disappeared during irradiation. Comparing the experimental results with the MD simulations, we interpret the spatio-temporal fluctuations of the irradiated structure in terms of evolution of these nanoclusters. The present study demonstrates that the dynamic; atomic-scale structural fluctuation phenomenon can be studied in situ using irradiation inside a high resolution HVEM.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We have investigated the orientation dependence of grain boundaries in radiation-induced segregation (RIS) in an austenitic stainless steel under irradiation using a high-voltage electron microscope (HVEM) at the Hokkaido University HVEM facility and a new rate equation model for RIS, which incorporates the grain boundary sink strength for point defects. The [110] tilt grain boundaries were chosen for the present study. It was observed that, after electron irradiation at a dose rate of 2.0 x 10(-3) dpa s(-1) to 10 dpa at temperatures of either 623 or 723 K, RIS was enhanced as the tilt angle increased but was suppressed at coincidence grain boundaries (Sigma9 and Sigma3). The present result indicates that one needs to explicitly consider the grain boundary sink strength as an important factor affecting radiation-induced grain boundary phenomena (RIGBPH). This work can be thought as a study of the radiation-induced grain boundary phenomena associated with grain boundary engineering related to non-equilibrium phenomena. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Issues for developing oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel are anisotropic mechanical properties due to the bamboo-like structure, impurity pick up during the mechanical alloying (MA) process, stability of oxide particles, heat-treatment condition and chemical composition. Several ODS steels were fabricated with a changing gas environment during MA, heat-treatment condition and chemical composition, and were electron-irradiated to 12 dpa at 673-748 K in a high-voltage electron microscope. An ODS martensitic steel (M-Ar) with high dislocation density showed very good swelling resistance. Swelling levels of ODS ferritic steels depended on the gas environment during MA and the recrystallization condition. These indicated that a helium gas environment during MA was more effective to suppress swelling than an argon gas environment and that cold working after recrystallization reduced void formation and swelling. The effect of MA parameters, such as the gas environment, heat-treat condition and cold working on the swelling behavior was evaluated. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The effect of grain boundary misorientation on intergranular Radiation-Induced Segregation (RIS) in an Fe-15Cr-20Ni alloy was studied using a high voltage electron microscope (HVEM) at Hokkaido University HVEM facility and a rate equation model for RIS which incorporated grain boundary sink strength. The < 110 > tilt grain boundaries were chosen for the present study. It was observed that after electron irradiation with 3x10(-3) dpa/s to 3 dpa at both temperatures of 623 K and 723 K, RIS was enhanced as the tilt angle increases but was suppressed at coincidence grain boundaries (Sigma 9 and Sigma 3). The present result indicates that one needs explicitly to consider the grain boundary sink strength for point defects as an important factor affecting radiation induced grain boundary phenomena.

英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, We have investigated radiation-induced segregation (RIS) near a grain boundary in an austenitic stainless steel under electron irradiation taking into account the simultaneous evolution of faulted dislocation loops and network dislocations by a composite model. It has been found that dislocation free zones (DLFZ) formed in the vicinity of the grain boundary by the irradiation, and we carried out direct observation of the DLFZ formation by in-situ irradiation in a high-voltage electron microscope (HVEM). Prediction of temperature and dose dependence of DLFZ formation agreed with experimental results. The inter-relationship between RIS and DLFZ formation near a grain boundary has been substantially clarified. RIS and DLFZ were understood considering point defect and solute flow associated with the excess defect to the grain boundary.

英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, Ion-irradiation induced amorphization and crystallization processes in TiNi shape memory alloys have been investigated. The primary concern is to clarify the relationship between the critical temperature for irradiation-induced amorphization and the thermal crystallization temperature. The critical temperature for irradiation-induced amorphization was 673K, however, the edge of the foil specimen crystallized during the irradiation at a lower temperature. The crystallization temperature of the specimen edge during irradiation decreased with increasing of incident ion energy. Thermal annealing experiments revealed that the thermal crystallization preferentially occurred at the specimen edge and the crystalline-amorphous (C-A) interface; The crystallization temperature of the preferential sites were 573K and 623K, respectively. These preferential nucleation indicate that the nucleation barrier dominates the thermal crystallization temperature; the critical temperature for amorphization is higher than the thermal crystallization temperature with no nucleation barrier.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Radiation-induced segregation (RIS) influences the chemical and mechanical properties of structural materials of fission and fusion reactors. In the present study, we investigated the effect of minor alloying elements on RIS in austenitic stainless steel on the basis of the rate theory at or near grain boundaries. It was assumed that the additional minor elements interacted with vacancies and formed additive-vacancy complexes. The effects of additional element concentration and the binding energy between additives and vacancies on solute segregation at the grain boundary were clarified by the present calculations, and the results were compared with recent electron irradiation experiments using a high-voltage electron microscope (HVEM).

日本語, Most of hydrogen storage alloys show decrepitation during hydriding-dehydriding cycles. The decrepitation assists initial activity and reaction rate. However, it causes lowering of thermal conductivity, difficulties of handling, degradation and others. In this work, the decrepitation process was examined with regard to mechanical properties and microstructure.
Four types of alloys; LaNi₅, TiMn_1.5, TiFe_0.8C_0.1 and ZrNi are used for this work. Compression test, Vickers hardness measurement and high-resolution electron microscopy observation were carried out before and after hydrogenation. Ductile alloys did not show remarkable decrepitation. Brittle alloys showed typical decrepitation, in which the nano crystal grains were observed by use of high-resolution microscopy. These results emphasize that the decrepitation process is different each other’s, depending on the ductility or brittleness of the alloys.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, In order to form the silicide at relatively low temperature, ion-beam-mixing was applied to Mo/Si and Ti/Si systems in a temperature range from room temperature to 473 K. After the irradiation of 1 MeV Si+, the cross-sectional specimens were examined by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis. Crystalline silicide formation was achieved only in Mo/Si system irradiated to high dose at each temperature. The evaluation of interdiffusion coefficient indicated that the diffusion is predominant in the ion-beam-mixing process. The nucleation process of silicide and the phase stability are discussed.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The authors investigated radiation-induced segregation (RIS) at a grain boundary in an Fe-Cr-Ni alloy under irradiation taking account of the evolution of faulted dislocation loops and network dislocations. Electron irradiation with a high voltage electron microscope (1000 kV) at Hokkaido University, Japan, was performed to study radiation-induced solute segregation and point defect flow in a typical austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni alloy. The theoretical analysis was conducted by solving the coupled rate equations for solute and defect concentrations near a grain boundary sink. The experimental solute redistribution profiles predicted by the theory were explained qualitatively. The formation of dislocation free zone (DLFZ) in the vicinity of a grain boundary was also observed during in situ observation under electron irradiation. The temperature dependence of the segregation width and that of DLFZ zone width show similar trends. It is thus suggested that RIS and DLFZ formation should be explained by the defect-flow-induced phenomenon under irradiation. The inter-relationship between RIS and such heterogeneous defect clustering near a grain boundary was also clarified substantially. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.

英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, Clarifying the local amorphization on the grain boundaries, the in-situ observation during ion-irradiation was carried out for poly-crystalline Si film. The critical dose of amorphous formation increased exponentially with increasing temperature, where the local amorphization was developed at middle temperature. The critical dose was affected by the doped impurity and the grain size. The preferential amorphization on and near grain boundaries had two processes; first stage with rapid growth rate and second stage with almost constant growth rate. The importance of stress was demonstrated from the acceleration due to the stress on the first stage of amorphization.

英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, The effect of helium on microstructural development during dual beam irradiation with electrons/He+ ions was examined for Fe-16wt%Cr-14wt%Ni-xwt%P-ywt%Ti (x=0, 0.1, y=0, 0.1) model alloys. Irradiation was carried out using a high voltage electron microscope (1000kv) connecting with 300 keV ion accelerator. The simultaneous ion injection rate was 20 at.ppm He/dpa at 70KeV and irradiation temperatures were 723 X and 773K. In the phosphorus containing alloy, vacancy type dislocation loops were nucleated in the early irradiation stage with electrons beam irradiation, Voids were nucleated from lower dose during electrons/He+ ions dual beam irradiations. In the titanium contained alloy, under electrons/He+ ions dual irradiation, void nucleation was lower comparing to phosphorus containing alloy under electron beam. Furthermore, structural development in alloy containing both titanium and phosphorous was similar to that of alloy with phosphorus and dislocation density was very high. From these results it was clarified that helium strongly influences void nucleation in each alloy as a result of interaction between phosphorus and interstitials.

英語, 研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）, We have investigated the solute segregation and simultaneous evolution of extended defects in an Fe-Cr-Ni alloy during irradiation by computer simulation. It sheds a light on the accomplishment of performing "the combined total calculation" or "the muliscale modeling" which deals with both radiation-induced segregation and various kinds of internal sink evolution. The formation of dislocation-free zone (DLFZ) was predicted in the vicinity of a grain boundary. It indicated that DLFZ formation is controlled by solute diffusional process via point defects diffusion near the grain boundary and the activation energy obtained by the width of DLFZ corresponds to the half of the value of the radiation-enhanced solute diffusivity.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Although the local stress intensification in the immediate vicinity of a crack is known to be the primary driving force for material fracture, the mechanism of crack propagation is not well understood. In the present study in-situ microscopic observations have been carried out on thin films of NiTi intermetallic compounds under tensile loading conditions in a high-voltage electron microscope, followed by high-resolution TEM (HREM) observation. In addition to HREM, observation of the specimen fractured outside HVEM at room temperature was also carried out. Local stress-induced amorphization at moving crack tips has been observed. The HREM observation with a 200 kV FE-TEM revealed nano-crystalline formation in the intermediate region between the amorphous region and the crystalline region.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The effect of temperature variation during electron irradiation by high-voltage electron microscope (HVEM) on radiation-induced segregation (RIS) at a grain boundary in an austenitic stainless steel was investigated by means of a computer simulation. The calculation was carried out by solving the coupled rate equations for solute and defect concentrations which depend on the Kirkendall effect. The evolution of dislocation sink strength during the temperature variation was also investigated. It turned out that the effect of temperature variation on RIS was very weak and, thus, a high spatial resolution or a high sensitivity detector would be necessary to detect the phenomenon. Moreover, a retardation phenomenon in the sink strength during the temperature variation was found.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Fe-Cr-Ni austenitic alloys were irradiated to investigate the dependence of radiation induced grain boundary segregation on the initial composition of alloying elements. Electron irradiations were performed at grain boundary by using HVEM with 00 keV accelerating voltage. The irradiation temperature was 723 K and the dose was up to 7 dpa. Measurements of grain boundary composition were made using 200 keV TEM with EDS analysis device. Typical grain boundary segregation, such as Ni enrichment and Cr depletion, was recognized in all specimens. The amounts of segregation varied with the contents of alloying elements. For constant bulk Cr (15 wt% Cr) concentration and for increasing bull; Ni concentration, from 15 to 40 wt%, the highest amount of Ni segregation was observed in the range of 25 to 30 wt% Ni specimens, and Cr concentration at grain boundaries was of almost the same level. For constant bulk Ni (20 wt% Ni) content and for increasing bulk Cr content, from 15 to 35 wt%, the amount of Cr segregation at grain boundaries increased with greater Cr bulk content and the amount of Ni segregation was almost the same over the range of 15 to 35 wt% Cr. These tendencies of segregation which depend on the alloying composition were consistent with the computer simulation results of the grain boundary segregation.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Radiation-induced segregation (RIS) influences the chemical and mechanical properties of the structural materials of fusion and fission reactors. In this study, such RIS and dislocation sink strength evolution were investigated on the basis of computer simulation for solute segregation at and near a grain boundary. A new continuity equation model for RIS, based on the rate theory which includes the simultaneous evolution of faulted dislocation loops and network dislocations, has been developed. A di-interstitial was assumed to be the nucleus of a dislocation loop in the present work, and we calculated dislocation evolution due to absorption of interstitials and vacancies. The dependencies of irradiation temperature, irradiation rate and dose on the RIS at a grain boundary under electron irradiation in high-voltage electron microscope (HVEM were clarified. We also considered the effect of probe size used in TEM-EDS analysis in order to satisfy the relationship with measured compositional profiles. The present work sheds a light on the accomplishment of performing 'combined calculation' which deals with both RIS and various kinds of internal sink evolution.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, We have investigated the radiation-induced segregation (RIS) near a grain boundary in an Fe-Cr-Ni alloy under electron irradiation taking account of the evolution of faulted dislocation loops and network dislocations. First, we predicted, on the basis of the rate theory, the formation dislocation-free zone (DLFZ) in the vicinity (about 30 nm) of a grain boundary and then carried out direct observation of the DLFZ by in-situ irradiation with high-voltage electron microscopy. The inter-relationship between RIS and heterogeneous defect clustering near a grain boundary has been substantially clarified.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The synergistic effect of helium and the addition of the minor elements phosphorus and titanium on void formation in austenitic stainless steels has been studied using a HVEM connected with an ion accelerator. The specimens used were pure Fe-16Cr-14Ni and the same alloy containing either 0.1% P or 0.1% Ti. The electron-induced damage rate was 2 x 10(-3) dpa/s and the helium injection rate was 20 at.ppm/dpa at 70 keV. Dislocation loops of vacancy type were nucleated in the early stage of the electron-only irradiation in the specimen containing phosphorus, but under dual beam irradiation many voids were nucleated and the dislocation loops grew rapidly. When the specimen with titanium was electron-irradiated, void nucleation tended to be reduced but significant void formation occurred due to dual-beam irradiation. In order to explain the result, the free defect concentration has been calculated using a kinetic model based on binding between interstitial and the minor element.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, A computer simulation and an electron irradiation in a high voltage electron microscope (1000 kV) were used to study radiation-induced solute segregation and point defect flow in typical austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni alloys. The calculation was conducted by solving the coupled rate equations for solute and defect concentrations considering the Kirkendall effect at a moving grain boundary sink. The experimental solute redistribution profiles were explained qualitatively. Redistribution of nickel and chromium solutes near the grain boundaries and simultaneously grain boundary migration occurred during irradiation. The amount of nickel enrichment at a grain boundary was especially remarkable, comparing to the amount of chromium depletion. It is suggested that grain boundary migration may contribute to the flow of under-sized nickel solute toward the boundary. The influence of the probe size on EDS analysis of compositional profiles was investigated, with some experimental data.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Fe-Cr-Ni,Ni-Si and Ni-Al alloys were electron-irradiated using a high voltage electronmicroscopy (1000kV),and in situ observation on structural evolution and microchemical analysis were carried out. When the Fe-Cr-Ni alloy was irradiated, there occurred the nucleation of dislocation loops followed by voids and at the same time grain boundary migration occurred. The compositional analysis after irradiation of an area including the migrated grain boundary indicated nickel enrichment and chromium depletion. Furthermore the grain boundary tended to migrate toward a coarser facing boundary plane. The same grain boundary migration and compositional change at the boundary was recognized in Ni-Si alloy. These results suggested that boundary migration and solutes redistribution are closely related to irradiation-introduced point defects flow, especially interstitial atoms and the direction of the boundary migration depends on the relationship between the two grains.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, An irradiation-induced phenomenon was studied on account of solute segregation and concurrent grain boundary migration in a model Fe-Cr-Ni alloy during electron irradiation with a high voltage electron microscope (1000 kV) and also by computer simulation. The calculation was conducted by solving the coupled rate equations for solute and defect concentrations, which involve the Kirkendall effects at a grain boundary sink, so that the solute redistribution profiles experimentally obtained were quantitatively explained. We also extensively studied the effects of the probe size in the EDS analysis on composition profiles, the Gibbsian segregation in the vicinity of a grain boundary and the discriminant of segregation under irradiation, as well as other important factors that influence the phenomenon.

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, Solute redistribution and microstructural development in the vicinity of grain boundaries in Fe-19Cr-XMn-3Al (X=5,10,15) alloys were studied under electron irradiation to about 10 dpa at 725 K in a high voltage electron microscope in order to simulate the segregation behavior during neutron irradiation. The oversized solute atoms, manganese and aluminum, were depleted at grain boundaries, whereas the concentration of chromium increased even though it is an oversized one. The segregation behavior of aluminum and manganese was related to size effect. However,with increasing manganese concentration the size factor decreased and then the amount of depletion of the solutes decreased with manganese concentration. The enrichment of chromium seemed to be related to chromium-rich precipitate formation at the boundary.

DEFECT-FLOW-INDUCED GRAIN-BOUNDARY MIGRATION WITH SEGREGATION UNDER ELECTRON-IRRADIATION

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, An Fe-Cr-Ni alloy was electron-irradiated using a high voltage electron microscope (1 MV), and in situ observations on the structural evolution and microchemical analysis were carried out. The compositional analysis showed that under irradiation an area near a grain boundary was nickel-enriched and chromium-depleted, and that, simultaneously, grain boundary migration occurred. Moreover, the distance of the grain boundary migration increased almost linearly with the degree of segregation, and the migration occurred predominantly in the direction perpendicular to close-packed crystal planes. Underpinned with computer calculations, it is suggested that when the radiation-induced point defects flow into the grain boundary, boundary migration and solute redistribution occur. Furthermore, the magnitude of the effects depends on the net point defect flow, especially that of interstitial atoms.

EFFECT OF HE ON VOID FORMATION AND RADIATION-INDUCED SEGREGATION IN DUAL-BEAM IRRADIATED FE-CR-NI

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, To investigate the effect of helium on void formation and radiation-induced segregation, dual-beam irradiation with electrons and helium ions has been carried out for an Fe-Cr-Ni alloy by using a 1000 keV HVEM and a 300 keV ion-accelerator. From the measurement of dislocation loop growth, the vacancy migration energy was estimated at different injection rates of helium. The value increased with increasing injection rate of helium, which means strong trapping between vacancies and helium atoms. As a result the mutual recombination of point defects is retarded and the formation of secondary defects can be enhanced. Namely, on increase the densities of voids and dislocations was observed, as compared with the result without helium. With respect to the radiation-induced segregation, depletion of Ni and enrichment of Cr in the irradiated area were detected. The segregation of Ni and Cr was suppressed with increasing helium. From these results the role of helium on radiation-induced segregation is discussed on the basis of vacancy trapping and internal sinks.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AND BAND STRUCTURES OF ELECTRONS AND PHONONS

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The relationship between superconductivity and band structures of electrons and phonons is established on the basis of a generalized Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer model in which the interaction strengths (V11, V12, V22) among and between ''electron'' (1) and ''hole'' (2) Cooper pairs are differentiated. Elemental superconductors must have local hyperboloidal Fermi surfaces called ''necks'' or ''inverted double caps.''

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The angular dependence of the Azbel'-Kaner cyclotron resonance peaks in lead is analyzed. All of the anisotropies in the cyclotron resonance peaks originating from the [110] arms of the Fermi surface in the third band are shown to be characterized by a set of three effective masses with one negative, corresponding to a hyperboloidal shape of the Fermi surface. The splitting of the cyclotron resonance peaks found by Khaikin and Mina [Sov. Phys.-JETP 15, 24 (1962)] is also explained by the set of masses in terms of the approximately 3.2 degree misalignment of the (001) sample surface.

THEORY OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY .3. 2D-CONDUCTION BANDS FOR HIGH-TC - BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION TRANSITION OF THE 3RD ORDER
S FUJITA, S WATANABE
JOURNAL OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY, 5, 3, 219, 237, PLENUM PUBL CORP, 1992年06月, ［査読有り］
英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, A general theory of superconductivity is developed, starting with a BCS Hamiltonian in which the interaction strengths (V11, V22, V12) among and between "electron" (1) and "hole" (2) Cooper pairs arc differentiated, and identifying "electrons" ("holes") with positive (negative) masses as those Bloch electrons moving on the empty (filled) side of the Fermi surface. The supercondensate is shown to be composed of equal numbers of "electron" and "hole" ground (zero-momentum) Cooper pairs with charges +/-2e and different masses. This picture of a neutral supercondensate naturally explains the London rigidity and the meta-stability of the supercurrent ring. It is proposed that for a compound conductor the supercondensate is formed between "electron" and "hole" Fermi energy sheets with the aid of optical phonons having momenta greater than the minimum distance (momentum) between the two sheets. The proposed model can account for the relatively short coherence lengths xi observed for the compound superconductors including intermetallic compound, organic, and cuprous superconductors. In particular, the model can explain why these compounds are type 11 superconductors in contrast with type I elemental superconductors whose condensate is mediated by acoustic phonons. A cuprous superconductor has 2D conduction bands due to its layered perovskite lattice structure. Excited (nonzero momentum) Cooper pairs (bound by the exchange of optical phonons) above T(c) are shown to move like free bosons with the energy-momentum relation epsilon = 1.2v(F)q. They undergo a Bose-Einstein condensation at T(c)= 0.977hv(F)k(B)-1n1/2BAR, where n is the number density of the Cooper pairs. The relatively high value of T(c) (approximately 100 K) arises from the fact that the density n is high: n1/2 approximately xi-1 approximately 10(7) cm-1. The phase transition is of the third order, and the heat capacity has a reversed lambda (lambda)-like peak at T(c).

ON THE ANGULAR-DEPENDENCE OF THE CYCLOTRON-RESONANCE PEAKS IN LEAD

英語, 研究論文（学術雑誌）, The angular dependence of the Azbel'-Kaner cyclotron resonance peaks in lead is analyzed in terms of Shockley's formula. All of the anisotropies in the cyclotron resonance peaks originating from the <110> cylindrical arms of the Fermi surface measured in the four parallel field geometries by O triple-overdot nuki et al. [J. Phys. Chem. Solids 38, 419 (1977)] are shown to be characterized by the set of the effective masses (m1, m2, m3) = (1.18, 0.244, -8.71)m along the crystal directions ([001], [110BAR], [110]) and their equivalents. This means that the cyclotronic motion in the {110} planes is electron-like and its orbits are elliptic in k-space characterized by masses (m1, m2) while the heli-axial motion is hole-like. The physical origins of this unusual behavior are discussed in direct-lattice space.

個体群の生長が時間遅れの制御下にある資源個体群に対する放流効果〔英文〕
渡邊 精一
日本水産学会誌, 54, 2, 183, 186, 日本水産學會, 1988年
英語, The simple logistic model with time lag control is employed to consider the constant rate stocking effects. Stocking increases the equilibrium level of the population. The stability of the equilibrium depends on all parameters employed in the model. The equilibrium becomes unstable and the limit cycle arises under the sufficient level of stocking although the product of the increasing rate and time lag is less than π/2. Stocking produces the increase of the amplitude and the decrease of the period of the population's fluctuation. Careful stocking is desired in controlling natural populations.

We investigated the irradiation-induced grain boundary migration (RIGM) in an austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni alloy during electron irradiation using by atomic-resolution HVEM (AR-HVEM). It was observed that the shape of a grain boundary had changed to facet-like structure from the straight grain boundary due to the boundary movement during the irradiation, and remarkable solute redistribution was induced near the migrated boundary interface. The dynamical behavior of the RIGM was also observed by in-situ irradiation using AR-HVEM., JAPAN INST METALS, 英語, 記事・総説・解説・論説等（国際会議プロシーディングズ）

本研究の目的は、CO2と水を原料とし太陽光エネルギー（可視光）と廃水をエネルギー源として、常温常圧、中性条件下で酢酸（2炭素化合物）を生産可能なバイオ‐光電気化学太陽電池（Bio-PEC)ハイブリッドシステムを構築することである。そのために必要なCuOナノワイヤー表面にZnOナノロッドを付加した3次元ナノ構造を持つZnO/CuO複合体を作成することに成功した。また、その電気化学的特性（水素生成速度や電流密度）は、既往の類似する三次元ナノ構造を有するZnO/CuOの値の約3倍であった。これにより、効率の良いBio-PECシステムの構築の可能性が示された。

本研究課題では，優れた環境耐久性を有するフェライト系耐熱鋼の開発を行うことを目的として，ラスマルテンサイト組織を有する9-12Cr系耐熱鋼の粒界制御を試みた。ラスマルテンサイト鋼における特性劣化の優先的なサイトとなる旧オーステナイト粒界の対応粒界頻度を飛躍的に高めることができた。また，粒界制御熱処理によりサブブロック組織が微細化し，その後の焼戻し処理により，M23C6炭化物が微細に分散することを見出した。このような粒界制御材料に対して，高温クリープ試験，高温水蒸気酸化試験，液体金属腐食試験を行ったところ，いずれの特性も粒界制御により著しく向上することが明らかとなった。

超高サイクル域における軸荷重疲労試験が行われ，放射光μCTイメージングにより材料内部に発生する微小き裂が観察された．内部き裂周囲の環境がき裂進展に及ぼす影響を明らかにするため，da/dNと応力拡大係数範囲の関係が測定され，真空中表面き裂のそれと比較された．その結果，内部き裂は1.0E-10m/cycleの極めて低速で進展するのに対し，表面に到達した後のき裂は1.0E-7m/cycle 程度の高速で進展することがわかった．内部き裂の進展速度は真空中表面き裂の進展速度に一致し，内部き裂周囲の真空に類似した環境が超高サイクル疲労における内部き裂進展過程に大きな影響を与えることが明らかとなった．

液中グロー放電の高時間分解その場解析によるナノ粒子・ナノ表面化機構解明
科学研究費補助金(新学術領域研究(研究領域提案型))
2012年 - 2013年
渡辺 精一
本研究では, 液中陰極グロー放電による弱電離プラズマ中を流れる電流が陰極材料を母材とするナノ粒子を作り出すメカニズムを解明することを最終目的としている。
平成24年度は放電時の電流ノイズを高時間分解で計測でき同時に電極近傍の発光を画像記録できる実験システムを整備した上で, 先ず電流ノイズの高時間分解データを取得し, 電流ノイズの頻度分布解析・パワースペクトル解析を行った。次に電流測定と同時に液中プラズマ画像を得て画像輝度の時間変化に対するスペクトル解析を行った。さらに, 陰極上に残された放電痕の電子顕微鏡像に対し、画像解析, パワースペクトル解析を行った。
その結果，パワースペクトル密度のべき乗数αは電気分解領域ではほぼ0で, 電極表面の液相が気相に変わる遷移域では急激に減少し0から-2へと変化すること, またプラズマ領域では-2に近い値を保持することが判った。則ち, 両極間に印加する電圧の上昇と共に陰極周囲の物質相が液相から気相へ更に弱電離プラズマ相へと変わる過程を電流変動成分のスペクトル解析からべき乗数αを用いて統一的に表現可能なことを明らかにした。画像輝度と電流との同時測定からは，両者のパワースペクトル密度が周波数に対し同じべき乗依存性をもつことがわかった。
また，陰極表面に残された放電痕画像のパワースペクトル解析から放電痕分布が等方的であること,パワースペクトル密度が波数のべき乗(-2乗)分布をもつこと、および放電痕サイズ分布を対数プロットしたグラフから放電痕数がサイズのべき乗(-2乗)分布を持つことを確認した。これらの結果はナノ粒子が産み出される機構が間欠的なアバランシェ放電ないし電流集中に起因するも全体的には時空間にわたる自己相似性を有することを示唆するものであり, 今後より高範囲・高精度な測定による検証が行われる必要がある。

凝固速度1500mm/hで高速一方向凝固したNb-18.1Si-1.5Zr合金を熱処理したところ、所期の金属組織が得られた。Nb相の3Dイメージングより、高温材料として有利な巨大サイズNb結晶粒実現が示唆された。この試料は室温で2%の圧縮塑性変形能を示し、50kgでダイヤモンド圧子を押し込んでも、脆い強化相Nb_5Si_3の破壊は周囲の延性Nb母相が抑制する。高温変形特性を決めるNb相の高温強度を向上させるMo、W添加は、Ta添加と組み合わせると組織制御と高強度化を同時に達成できる。

TiNi系形状記憶合金は優れた形状記憶・超弾性特性を示し,携帯電話のアンテナ等様々な分野で応用されてきた。特に最近は低侵襲性医療技術の発展に伴い,ガイドワイヤー,ステント等の医療デバイスへの応用が急速に拡大している。TiNiはまた,強加工により固相状態で非晶質化またはナノ結晶化することが知られてきた。その原因としては,転位密度の上昇による弾性エネルギーの増加が重要であると指摘されてきた。本研究では冷間圧延(CR),ショットピーニング(SP),高圧ねじり加工(HPT),冷間線引などの強加工による,非晶質化ノナノ結晶化したTiNiについて,TEMによる組織観察の結果に基づき,その非晶質化機構について考察した。
その結果,CR, HPTによる非晶質過程は類似しており,加工前の状態がマルテンサイト相(B19'相)であっても加工によりB2相に逆変態し,さらに加工を加えることにより非晶質相へと変化することが明らかになった。また非晶質化の過程で現れるラメラ構造の詳細について調べ,非晶質層をはさんで同じほぼ方位のB2構造層からできていることが明らかになった。このことはマルテンサイト変態の際に格子不変変形として導入される双晶境界が転位の蓄積場所となり優先的に非晶質化することを示唆する。また比較の為に様々な組成のZr・Cu系合金についてHPT加工による非晶質化について調べたところ,マルテンサイト変態を起こすZr_<50>Cu_<50>合金のみで非晶質化することが明らかになった。これはマルテンサイト組織特有の微細な双晶組織が転位の蓄積を促進し非晶質化を起こすことを示す。
また,非晶質・ナノ結晶TiNi合金の医療デバイスへの応用を視野に,冷間線引で強加工したTiNiについてもその組織と特性を評価した。その結果減面率70%まで線引きしたTiNiで非晶質領域が観察された。また線引き材,線引き加工後低温熱処理した線材について引張り試験により応力歪み曲線を測定したところ,条件によって約2GPaの破断強度と約5%の擬弾性回復ひずみを示すことが明らかになった。

イオンビームを水素吸蔵合金の表面改質に利用した場合、結晶構造の変化、多量の格子欠陥、注入された水素による水素化物の核形成などが期待され、さらには種々の溶質元素をミキシングすることによって、新しい機能を持った合金開発の可能性がある。本研究ではイオン注入やイオンミキシングにより、長寿命化(耐劣化や耐被毒)および活性化の制御などを目指した表面ナノ構造の改質を行うことを目的とした。
(1)ZrCoおよびZrNi:高温顕微鏡によるその場観察(水素圧1atm、反応温度150℃に200℃)を使用し、水素物形成過程の定量化を試みた。(1)ZrCo:ZrCoでは水素イオン注入による水素化物の成長促進の効果が認められなかった。イオンミキシングの効果については、溶質元素をCoにした場合に顕著であり、成長速度は2倍から3倍に増加することができた。水素化物形成に必要な活性化エネルギーは、未処理の場合が40kJ/mol、イオンミキシングの場合が20〜30kJ/mol程度となった。(2)ZrNi:ZrNiは水素イオン注入をしなければ、水素化が起こらない。イオン注入量が1X1016H2+/cm^2の場合、成長速度が大きくまた水素化開始までの潜伏期も大幅に短くなった。
(2)TiFe:TiFeは未処理の場合、反応温度400℃、水素圧10MPaにおいても水素化が起こらない。しかし、水素イオン注入(3.6X1016H2+/cm^2)の場合7MPa、アルゴンイオン注入(5X1015Ar+/cm^2)の場合5MPa程度から水素化が開始する。また、LaNi5を溶質としたイオンミキシングを行うと、1X1015Ar+/cm^2では、水素圧1MPaで水素化が起こることがわかった。以上の結果から、イオン注入およびイオンミキジングによる初期水素化挙動に対する効果は、広範に認められることが明らかとなった。

電子線照射による非平衡下粒界応答反応現象の非対称性に関する研究

渡辺 精一
オーステナイト系ステンレス鋼における照射誘起偏析の速度論による定量化・モデリング照射誘起粒界偏析および促進拡散に関し速度論によるモデル化をおこない、定量化に成功した。照射誘起の粒界応答反応、特に照射誘起による偏析が粒界性質(方位とS値)によってどの様に依存性を調べることができ、傾角粒界の場合には明確な依存性があることを確認した。また、粒界性格を境界条件として取り入れた速度論による定量化にも成功した。照射誘起粒界応答反応の粒界性質依存性の実験的確認と定量化モデリングに成功することができた。これらの研究成果をふまえ今後は、各種合金(オーステナイトステンレス鋼、フェライト鋼、ODSフェライト鋼、および結合形式の異なる化合物系合金)における非平衡粒界応答効果に関して電子線照射その場観察実験を行い原子レベルの欠陥形成初期過程から巨視的現象(本研究では数マイクロメータ程度を対象とする)に至るまでの現象の総合的解明を行う。現在まで行ってきた速度論手法はそのままでは原子レベルの実験解析には不向きであるため、離散型の計算手法を取り込みこれと速度論を結合させ、原子レベルから巨視的レベルまでの空間的・時間的マルチスケーリングモデリングによる総合的定量化支援プログラミングを行なう。原子レベルから巨視的レベルまでの空間的・時間的マルチスケーリングモデリングによる総合的定量化支援プログラミングを行なう。当該研究は従来型の照射効果の研究に対して、原子レベル動的観察、マルチスケーリングによる定量化といった新たな視点からの息吹を注入するものであり、非平衡粒界挙動を利用した材料創製に貢献するところ大であると考えられる。

水素吸蔵合金の水素化特性を改善する新しい試みとして,イオン注入による表層改質を実施した。吸蔵合金にイオン注入を適用した場合,(1)スパッタリングによる表層清浄化,(2)任意元素の非平衡濃度注入,(3)多量の格子欠陥による拡散促進などの効果が期待できる。本研究の目的は,水素化特性に及ぼすイオン注入の影響を調査し,表層ナノ構造との関係を明確にすることである。
今年度は,ZrNiの初期活性化について検討した。試料にイオン注入領域と未注入領域を形成し,試料表面の水素化による変化を観察した。また,表層ナノ構造はTEMにより観察した。イオン注入は,水素,ヘリウム,アルゴンイオンを100keV,室温にて行い,注入量を5X10^<15>〜1X10^<17>ions/cm^2とした。
1.水素イオン注入の影響:注入領域において多数のクラックの発生が見られ,クラックは未注入領域との境界付近で進行が止まった。すなわち,水素イオン注入は合金の初期活性化を明確に促進することが判明した。その原因は,表面近傍において非平衡に濃化した水素が水素化物を形成したため,水素の拡散が促進したものと考えている。2.アルゴンイオン注入の影響二水素イオン注入とは逆に,初期活性を明確に抑制することが判明した。TEM観察から,注入したアルゴンはバブルを形成していない。そのため,表面近傍で高濃度に分散された状態であることが推察される。すなわち,分散したアルゴンが水素の拡散パスを塞いだことが原因であると考えている。3.ヘリウムイオン注入の影響:水素及びアルゴンイオン注入のような明確な影響が現れなかった。しかし,現在の条件より注入量を増加させると,アルゴンと同様な現象が起こると推定できる。
今後は,イオンミキシングを使った合金改質に進展する予定である。

1. 電子線照射によりステンレス鋼中には積層欠陥型転位ループが形成され、照射を継続すると積層欠陥転位ループ内に原子空孔型の積層欠陥四面体が形成された。電子線/Heイオン同時照射では、最初に積層欠陥四面体が形成され、その後この積層欠陥四面体はボイドの核となり、Heがボイド核を安定化されることが判明した。
2. Fe-(15-16)%Cr-16%Mn-0.2%C-0.2%N鋼の室温の降伏強度は400MPaで、伸びは60%以上の優れた機械的性質を示した。この鋼を473-673K、3dpaまで電子線照射すると、最初に転位ループが形成され、その後、473-573Kではボイドは形成されなかったが、673Kではボイドが核形成した。Mn濃度、24.5%のMn鋼を照射すると、473K-673Kの全ての照射温度範囲で高密度でボイドが核生成した。573Kではマトリックス、結晶粒界とも照射下で相が安定であった。照射温度573K以上では素地のオーステナイト相は変化しなかったが、素地中に微細な炭化物の析出が認められ,高温度では照射により析出物が促進されることが明らかになった。
3. W,Vを添加した低放射化Fe-Cr-Mn(W,V)合金を電子線/ヘリウムで二重照射した結果、転位ループやボイド等の2次欠陥が形成され、次第にその密度が増大した。特に、高温照射の場合に、ボイドは転位線上に優先的に形成された。また、この鋼ではCr、Mnの粒界シンクにおける偏析は検出されず,照射誘起偏析が抑制されることが明らかになり、W、V添加効果が偏析抑制に有効であることが示唆された。
4. Fe-Cr-Mn(W,V)合金を527-723Kで10dpaまで電子線照射した結果,(a)ボイドスエリング挙動は溶接熱影響部での耐照射特性は625K照射では優れた特性を示した。さらに高温度で照射すると微細なボイドが核形成し,ボイド抑制効果が顕著でなかった。
5. 同合金をlOdpaまで照射した後の結晶粒界におけるCr、Niの偏析はW,Vの添加しないFe-Cr-Mn合金と比較し、その偏析量は少ないがNiの濃化とCrの枯渇が認められた。
6. Fe-(13-16)Cr-(6.5-24.5)Mn-(0.02-0.2)C-0.2N-(0.3-0.5)Si合金について、熱処理及び電子線照射した結果、次のことが明らかになった。
(a) 低Mn含有のマンガン合金鋼の単一γ相はCr、C、N濃度を制御することによって得られることが明らかにされた。
(b) 本研究で開発された、15-16wt%Cr-15.5wt%Mn-(0.02-0.2)wt%C-0.2wt%N合金は、高強度で高い伸びを示す良好な機械的性質を有することが確認された。
(c) ボイド核形成はCrとCの濃度が増大すると抑制され、Fe-16wtCr-15.5wt%Mn-0.2wt%C-0,2wt%N合金鋼では照射温度473-673Kで完全にボイド核形成が抑制された。

1.MoSi_2/Ti/グラファイト系接合:超高温材料の接合を可能にすると共に表面を改質する目的から、Ti箔を介在させMoSi_2とグラファイトを放電プラズマにより接合実験し、Ti薄膜を接合界面に介在させると界面でのSiC形成を抑制でき、曲げ特性、耐酸性共にの優れた特性の接合ができた。
2.イオン注入過程での界面組織変化・制御:セラミックス(Al_2O_3),半導体Siに室温で種々のイオンを注入し,ステンレス鋼の粒界界面及び表面構造変化を調べた。各材料においてイオン注入過程で二次欠陥が発達した。中でも、Al_2O_3では注入量の増加に伴い、粒界・界面から非晶質化した。
3.Mo/Si異種元素材料の界面制御:Mo/Si_2層物質を用いイオンミキシング実験を行い、2層界面の接合界面変化を観察すると共に、相互拡散過程を検討した。イオン照射過程で導入された点欠陥により、低温度で両元素の拡散が促進され、さらにイオンによる押し込み効果による照射促進拡散が起こりこれを利用し低温接合が可能である。
4.Si/酸化膜界面構造と欠陥組織:Bイオンを酸化膜/Siの2層界面近傍に注入後の瞬間焼鈍した場合の欠陥分布とそれに及ぼす界面効果を検討した。その結果、界面に発生する応力場が欠陥の界面への拡散流入を促進させ、2次欠陥形成が抑制されることが認められ、界面はイオン注入で導入された点欠陥の優先的なシンクサイトであり、界面接合に対し重要な役割を有することが示唆された。
以上、超高温材料の接合には耐熱金属を介在させプラズマ放電法により短時間に接合ができると共にイオン照射法により低温接合が可能である。今後、イオン注入法とプラズマ放電法を併用することにより広範囲の特殊材料の接合が可能である。

核融合炉用低放射化制御材料に関する基礎研究

今年度は過去3年間の結果の考察と追加実験研究を行った。その結果、低放射化材料の開発に際し検討されるべき事項として、以下のようにまとめられた。
1)Fe-Cr-Ni系鋼について、照射下で粒界におけるNiの顕著な偏析とCr濃度の低下を同定し、偏析と同時に粒界移動が起こり、これら現象は照射点欠陥の粒界への流入に支配されることを中性子照射および電子線照射実験から明らかにした。また、高速中性子照射により約50dpaで数%のスエリングが生ずることを観察した。これらのことから、改良型316ステンレス鋼は、国際熱核融合実験炉(ITER)のように短期的には照射量(30dpa程度)が少なく、放射化レベルも低い場合には低スエリングのため核融合炉構造材として使用可能である。
2)各種低放射化オーステナイトFe-Cr-Mn系鋼を200℃で中性子照射後、機械的性質と合金組成の関係を調べ、Fe-10%Cr-(20-25)%Mn-3%AlおよびFe-10%Cr-30%Mn鋼が良好な性質を示し、また、Al添加により照射下における相安定性が向上することを明らかにした。また、Fe-Cr-Mn系改良AMCR合金鋼を高速中性子で420℃、520℃及び600℃で32-36dpaまで照射後、密度測定からスエリングを評価した結果、Fe-12%Cr-11%Mn-0.5%Si-1.4%Wに0.3%Cを添加した鋼が耐スエリング特性に優れているが、相安定性に欠けることを確認し、炭素添加がある程度スエリング抑制および相安定に効果的であることが判明した。以上の結果から、Fe-Cr-Mn系高マンガン鋼の場合は、電磁場、強度等の核融合炉の環境を考慮すると魅力ある材料である。しかし、第一壁材料の様に500℃以上の高温度に曝せれる場合は、相安定性の観点から不適と判断され、核融合、炉のバックアップ材など200℃以下の低温度での構造材料としてのみ利用可能と評価された。
3)低放射化Fe-(9-12)Cr-2W鋼をFFTFで高速中性子照射後の機械的性質に及ぼすB、Y、Al添加の効果を調べ、スエリング非常に低く100dpaでも問題にならない程度であった。MoやMbに代わってWやV元素の添加により降伏強度や抗張力は十分維持できるが、DBTTが照射で上昇することが明らかにされた。従って、オーステナイト系ステンレス鋼に代わる第一壁材料あるいはブランケット構造材として低放射化フェライト鋼が実証炉等中期的には有望であるがDBTTを改善する必要する必要がある。これまでの実験から、機械的性質、耐照射特性を考慮するとFe-(9-12)%Cr-2%W鋼が最適と判断される。ただし、核変換で生成するヘリウムの靭性-脆性遷移温度(DETT)上昇が大きいためそのヘリウム効果の解決が重要であることが指摘された。
4)低放射化材料として将来最も期待されている、バナジウム及びバナジウム合金の照射化の合金組成変化として、核変換(n,r)による組成変化が中性子照射により起こることを見い出し、特にバナジウムではCrおよびTiが生成することをEDS分析からはじめて明らかにした。現在、V-4Cr-4Ti合金が耐照射特性に優れている低放射化合金として有望視されてが、長期間の使用中に核変換でCr新たに生成されるため合金成分が変化し、その結果、材料特性が大きく影響される可能性が有ることが明かになり、今後この核変換元素の効果の更なる研究が必要であることが指摘された。
5)照射現象に関する基礎的知見として、(a)Vと同様に核変換により、WがReさらにOs元素に変化する事が同定され、低放射化フェライト鋼に添加されているWがこの核変換でその性質が大きく影響されること、(b)電子線/Heイオン同時照射実験から、Heは原子空孔と強く相互作用し、空孔型積層欠陥四面体がボイド核生成サイトとなる。また、TiおよびPの微量添加によりスエリング、および粒界偏析が抑制されるが、ボイド数密度は増大すること、さらに(c)ステンレス鋼の粒界は照射中移動と濃度変化が起こり、粒界移動はエピタキシアル的に成長に起因する事を明らかにした。

過剰格子欠陥存在下での粒界近傍の溶質拡散ダイナミクス

渡辺 精一
高速増殖炉、軽水炉などの核分裂型原子炉や、将来実用化が期待される核融合炉における照射損傷は、炉材料の使用にあたり主要な問題点である。特に相安定性に関わる照射誘起偏析現象は、結晶粒界の溶質の偏析を通して照射脆化に結び付き、またボイド表面での偏析、母相での溶質濃度の変化からボイド形成に影響する可能性が指摘されている。現在までいくつかの偏析モデルが提唱されてきたが、実用材料を念頭とした照射研究に応用された例は少ない。本研究では計算コードを開発し、ステンレス鋼の粒界近傍における過剰点欠陥の容質拡散として照射誘起偏析の定量的予測を行なった。具体的には、本研究室所有の超電圧電子顕微鏡による1MeV電子線照射をおこない材料中(Fe-Cr-Ni)の2次欠陥の密度測定、粒界近傍の濃度分布分析、拡散係数等必要な物性値を見積もる。i)拡散方程式による計算照射下での連立した拡散方程式をたて、これを解くことにより各場所での元素の濃度の経時変化を調べる。この時各元素とさらに点欠陥(原子空孔と格子間原子)の濃度も併せて調べる。非線形の連立微分方程式を数値計算により解く。(逆)カ-ケンドール効果を取り入れた連立速度式によりFe-Cr-Ni合金の粒界近傍での照射誘起偏析のモデル計算を行った。本計算結果は超高圧電子顕微鏡(1MeV)を用いたシュミレーション実験より得られた照射量、温度、損傷速度の変化に伴う誘起偏析の変化と、濃度分布を概ね説明している。中性子照射などの高エネルギー粒子による照射でも、照射誘起偏析によりステンレス鋼の粒子近傍(<〜10^<-1>μm)でNiの濃度とCrの枯渇が起こると考えられる。より確実な相関則を得るためには,実験等による各種パラメータの確認が必要であることを明らかにした。
