英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Although the surface conductivity of a hydrogen-terminated diamond (H-diamond) enables production of high-performance field effect transistors (FETs), the total ionizing dose effect is yet to be clarified for H-diamond FETs. We fabricated a RADiation hardened H-terminated Diamond metal-oxide-semiconductor FET (RADDFET) using an oxide gate dielectric deposited at high temperatures. This paper describes its stable operation after 1 MGy irradiation. H-diamond films were prepared using microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition with a p+ layer for reduction of contact resistance. The Al2O3 passivation layer was deposited by atomic layer deposition at 450 degrees C to achieve operation in high-temperature environment; then a RADDFET was fabricated on them using a Ru electrode. Several current-voltage characteristics were compared before irradiation and after certain dose levels up to 1 MGy. Before they were irradiated in air, the dose rate was measured using a cellulose triacetate film dosimeter. Even after an irradiation level of 1 MGy, the off-current at gate bias voltage (V-G) of 3V was more than six orders of magnitude lower than the on-current at V-G of -6V. Variation of the drain current density (J(DS)) in the measurements was less than 2%. The threshold voltage shifted approximately 1.7V with 3 kGy of x ray irradiation, but no marked degradation was confirmed at higher levels. The subthreshold swings were 238, 215, and 264mV/decade, respectively, after irradiation of 100 kGy, 300 kGy, and 1 MGy. These results indicate that the RADDFET was very stable at higher doses after initial stabilization. - High yield uniformity in pseudo-vertical diamond Schottky barrier diodes fabricated on half-inch single-crystal wafers

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), We fabricated diamond pseudo-vertical Schottky barrier diodes using a half-inch semi-insulative diamond (100) wafer. Most diodes exhibited a large rectifying ratio (>10(10)) with undetectable leakage current at a reverse bias of 5V (0.6MV cm(-1)), with only 2% of diodes exhibiting an Ohmic-like leakage current. Surface defects were observed under the Schottky barrier diode, and their impacts on electrical properties were analyzed using a Murphy model and correlation factor analysis. We found that most crystalline defects (surface hillocks) were electrically non-active and that non-epitaxial crystallites and process-related field-plate cracks were the main defects that induced a large leakage current. Schottky barrier diodes without such killer defects showed a high electric field strength of similar to 5MV cm(-1). - Development of a Gd2Si2O7 (GPS) Scintillator-Based Alpha Imaging Detector for Rapid Plutonium Detection in High-Radon Environments

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), We developed a Gd2Si2O7 (GPS) scintillator-based alpha imaging detector and demonstrated its effectiveness by evaluating the actual Pu particle and Rn-222 progeny. The GPS scintillator plate was prepared by a sintering method. The outer dimensions of the GPS scintillator plate were 5 x 5 cm, and the scintillator layer was approximately 50 mu m on a 3-mmthick high-transparency glass. The plate was optically coupled to a position-sensitive photomultiplier tube (Hamamatsu H8500, Hamamatsu, Japan) with silicone grease. The developed imaging detector exhibited good uniformity; Pu particle activities were accurately evaluated at 14 different positions and the difference in activity was within +/- 6%. The radon-222 progeny counts were reduced by 65.3% by applying an energy window. Although the Pu/Rn-222 progeny activity ratio was 1/51, the Pu particle was successfully identified among the Rn-222 progeny within the 5-min measurement time. The imaging detector has an excellent ability for detecting Pu among the Rn-222 progeny. Thus, this detector is useful for alpha contamination monitoring in high-radon-background environments. - Heat and radiation resistances of diamond semiconductor in gamma-ray detection

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), We have developed a gamma-ray detector based on a single-crystal diamond in order to improve the heat and radiation resistances of gamma-ray monitors. We fabricated prototypes with two types of diamond grown by a chemical vapor deposition method. The count rates with temperature and accumulated dose were obtained using a Cs-137 gamma-ray source, then the errors at full scale (%FS) were evaluated using a method to reduce the dark count. The prototype-A worked to 643 K within 2.9%FS and to 3.1 MGy within 4.9%FS; on the other hand, the prototype-B worked to 545 K within 3.4%FS and to 5.0 MGy within 0.47%FS. This study demonstrates that the diamond semiconductor was promising for monitoring with enhanced heat and radiation resistances.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A dust monitor with a silicon surface barrier detector (SSBD) is introduced at a nuclear fuel facility to detect airborne contamination of Pu-238 and (PU)-P-239 released by past accidents. However, an SSBD frequently produces false alarms, especially in a room with high humidity. To develop a highly reliable dust monitor, we developed an alpha-particle spectrometer based on a cerium-doped Gd2Si2O7 (GPS) scintillator plate and a photomultiplier tube (PMT). The GPS scintillator plate is hexagonal and 50 mm in diameter, and the scintillator layer is approximately 40 mu m. An output signal from the PMT is amplified by a preamp and transferred to an MCA. Then, an energy spectrum is displayed in real time. The (241)AM alpha source, Rn progeny collected on the air filter, and a PuO2 particle were measured by our developed spectrometer. The energy resolution for 5.5-MeV alpha particles was similar to 11.9% +/- 0.2% of the FWHM. The efficiency was 92%, and it had a uniform sensitivity. By applying an energy window, the count-rate of the Rn progeny decreased by 77%. The GPS scintillator plate was able to measure the alpha spectrum even though the GPS scintillator got wet. Therefore, the alpha dust monitor using the GPS scintillator plate is ideal for detecting alpha-particle emitters in places lacking temperature and humidity controls, such as the outside of buildings. - Substrate Effects on Charge Carrier Transport Properties of Single-Crystal CVD Diamonds and an 8 mm Square Radiation Energy Spectrometer

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In an effort to enlarge a sensitive area of a diamond radiation energy spectrometer, a self-standing chemical vapor deposition (CVD) single crystal is grown on an 8-mm-square "general grade" CVD single-crystal diamond substrate fabricated by Element Six Ltd. The growth conditions that achieved a mu tau product of 3 x 10(-4) cm(2) V-1 for holes in a CVD single-crystal diamond grown on a high-pressure and high-temperature (HP/HT) type IIa single-crystal diamond substrate elsewhere are adopted. The charge collection efficiency (CCE) of 99.9% for both charge carriers, and 0.39% and 0.5% of energy resolution for holes and electrons are achieved using 5.486 MeV alpha particles. Uniformity of the energy resolution is sufficient for the use of a radiation energy spectrometer. However, mu tau products of (5.0 +/- 0.4) x 10(-5) and (1.8 +/- 0.2) x 10(-5) cm(2) V-1 for holes and electrons are obtained, respectively. These values are approximately one order of magnitude smaller than the mu tau products of the CVD single crystal grown on a HP/HT type IIa diamond substrate using the same growth conditions. - Optimization of thickness of GAGG scintillator for detecting an alpha particle emitter in a field of high beta and gamma background

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), At the site of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FDNPP), there is a large quantity of beta and gamma emitters such as Sr-90 and Cs-137. Moreover, radon (Rn) progeny, which are naturally occurring radionuclides, exist and emit alpha and beta particles. To detect plutonium isotopes ((PU)-P-238, (PU)-P-239, and Pu-240) in a field of high beta and gamma background, an alpha particle detector with low beta- and gamma-ray sensitivity and good energy resolution for an alpha particle is required to distinguish plutonium isotopes from Rn progeny. Previously, we developed an alpha particle imaging detector by combining a 0.1-mm-thick gadolinium aluminum gallium garnet (GAGG) scintillator with a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM). However, this detector was sensitive to environmental gamma and beta rays. In this study, we optimized the thickness of the GAGG scintillator for alpha particle detection in a field of high beta and gamma background. We prepared three GAGG scintillators with thicknesses of 0.05 mm, 0.07 mm, and 0.1 mm. Each of the GAGG scintillators was coupled optically to the SiPM array, which was used as the photodetector. Alpha, beta, and gamma rays were irradiated onto the developed alpha particle detector, and their spectra were obtained. The energy resolution of the 0.05 mm-thick GAGG for 5.5-MeV alpha particles (similar to 11.6% full width at half maximum [FWHM]) was the best among the three GAGG scintillators. All GAGG scintillators used in this study were not sensitive to gamma rays with a dose rate of 1 mSv/h. The beta particle count above the lower level discriminator (LLD) decreased because the scintillator was thinner, and the beta count of the 0.05-nun-thick GAGG was only 1/100 that of the 0.1-mm-thick GAGG. Because the alpha particle detector with the 0.05-mm-thick GAGG scintillator had low beta and gamma ray sensitivity and good energy resolution for alpha particles, it is promising from the viewpoint of detecting plutonium contamination in a field with high beta and gamma background, such as the FDNPP site. - DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW DETECTOR SYSTEM TO EVALUATE POSITION AND ACTIVITY OF PLUTONIUM PARTICLES IN NASAL CAVITIES

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Plutonium dioxide (PuO2) is used to fabricate a mixed oxide fuel for fast breeder reactors. When a glove box containing PuO2 fails, such as by rupture of a glove or a vinyl bag, airborne contamination of plutonium (Pu) can occur. If a worker inhales PuO2 particles, they will be continually irradiating their lung tissue with alpha particles, and this could cause lung cancer. The nasal smear and nose blow methods are useful for checking workers for PuO2 intake in the field. However, neither method can evaluate the quantitative activity of Pu. No alpha-particle detector that can be used for direct measurements in the nasal cavity has been developed. For direct and quantitative measurement, it is required that a shape of the detector should be a fine bar which inserts itself in the nose to measure the accurate activity of Pu. Therefore, we developed a nasal monitor capable of directly measuring the activity of Pu in the nasal cavity to estimate the internal exposure dose of a worker. Prismatic-shaped 2 x 2 acrylic light guides were used to compose a detector block, and a ZnS(Ag) scintillator was adhered to the surface of these light guides. Silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays with 8 x 8 channels were used as a photodetector. Actual PuO2 particles were measured using the nasal monitor. The nasal monitor could be directly inserted in the nasal cavities, and the activity distribution of Pu was obtained by the nasal monitor. The average efficiencies in 4-pi were 11.4 and 11.6% for the left and right nasal cavities, respectively. The influence of gamma and beta rays from Cesium-137 (Cs-137) Strontium-90 (Sr-90) on the detection of the alpha particles of Pu was negligible. The difference in the measured Pu activity between the ZnS(Ag) scintillation counter and the nasal monitor was within 4.0%. Therefore, it was considered that the developed nasal monitor could be used in direct Pu determination to estimate the internal exposure dose of workers. - Diamond semiconductor-based gamma-ray detector for a severe environment

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), We developed a new imaging detector called flexible alpha camera that can identify Pu contamination in narrow spaces at work sites. The thickness of the flexible alpha camera is only similar to 1/5th that of the ZnS(Ag) scintillation detector which is commonly used for detecting Pu contamination, and its efficiency in the 4 pi direction is 42.7% for 5.5-MeV alpha particles. The minimal detectable activity (MDA) is 0.014 Bq measured in 30 min. Four types of PuO2 samples, taken from a duct, bag-in/bag-out port, glovebox glove, and vinyl sheet, were measured by the flexible alpha camera. In a two-dimensional distribution of alpha particles, PuO2 was identified automatically using the "AnalyzeParticle" function in the ImageJ plugin, and its activity was evaluated. When acquisition time increased from 10 min to 30 min, a Pu spot with low activity was identified. To verify the measurement in narrow space, a fume hood to which a PuO2 particle was attached was measured using the flexible alpha camera. Since the flexible alpha camera has the thin-thickness of 12 mm and can obtain two-dimensional distribution and energy spectrum of alpha particles, it is effective for detecting Pu contamination in narrow spaces of equipment.

研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), Diamond has attracted extensive attention for the next generation semiconductor devices, such as high-power, low-loss and high-frequency devices under high temperature conditions. In this paper, a radiation hardness of diamond unipolar devices such as Schottky barrier diode (SBD) and metal-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET) was discussed. No any degradation of ideality factor or specific on-resistance of diamond SBD was observed even after 10 MGy X-ray irradiation. The breakdown voltage was increased after the irradiation since the leakage current increased. The forward current capability and the transconductance of MESFET were almost constant to the X-ray irradiation. - Preparation and scintillation properties of translucent LiCaBO3:Ce polycrystalline plates

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Translucent LiCaBO3:Ce thin plates were prepared by liquid phase sintering using LiBO2 as a sintering aid, and their fluorescent and scintillation properties were investigated to examine the possibility to use as neutron scintillator. Since the initial part of the directionally solidified specimen contained a second phase of Ca3B2O6, LiCaBO3 may melt incongruently, and simple melt growth of LiCaBO3:Ce is consequently difficult. Translucent thin plates 300 mu m in thickness were successfully fabricated from LiCaBO3:Ce sintered compacts. Although strong fluorescence with the peak wavelength of 390 nm was observed in photoluminescence measurement, scintillation light yield and detection efficiency by alpha-particle irradiation were rather poor. The diffuse reflectance spectrum of LiCaBO3:Ce revealed existence of an absorption band other than Ce3+ bands in the ultraviolet region. The band may corresponds to defect levels, which interrupt the energy transfer from the conduction band of the host to the 5d level of Ce3+ resulting in the degradation of the scintillation performance.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), An alpha particle detector was developed for continuous air monitoring of radioactive contamination in working chambers at plutonium handling facilities. A 5-cm-square Gd2Si2O7:Ce (cerium-doped gadolinium pyro-silicate, GPS:Ce) mosaic scintillator plate for alpha particle measurements was fabricated from GPS single-crystal grains of around 550 mu m diameter; the GPS grains were made of a GPS polycrystalline body grown using a top seeded solution method. The scintillator layer thickness was approximately 100 gm. The surface filling rate of the GPS grains was ca. 62%. To suppress the influence of non-uniformity of pulse heights of a photomultiplier tube, a central part of empty set 40 mm of a 76-mm diameter photomultiplier tube was used. In addition, 3 mm thick high-transmission glass was used as a substrate of the scintillator plate. The detector achieved energy resolution of 13% for 5.5 MeV alpha particles, detection efficiency of 61% and a radon progeny nuclide reduction ratio of 64.5%. A new alpha particle detector was developed to achieve a high radon progeny nuclide reduction ratio approaching that of a silicon semiconductor detector, with high resistance to electromagnetic noise and corrosion.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The performance of a diamond detector created from a single-crystal diamond grown by chemical vapor deposition was studied for application in detecting charged particles having energies ranging from 100 keV to 2 MeV. Energy peaks of different low-energy ions were clearly observed. However, we observed that the pulse height for individual incident ions decreases with increasing atomic number of the ions. We estimated the charge collection efficiency of the generated charge carriers by the incident charged particles. The charge collection efficiencies are 97.0 +/- 0.7% for 2 MeV helium-ions (He+). On the other hand, compared with that of He+, silicon-ions (Si+) and gold-ions (Au3+) show low charge collection efficiency: 70.6 +/- 2.2% and 29.5 +/- 4.2% for 2 MeV-Si+ and 2 MeV-Au3+, respectively. We also found that the charge collection efficiency decreases as the generated charge density inside the diamond crystal increases. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

High-quality self-standing chemical vapor deposited diamond samples were produced using lift-off method. Alpha-particle induced charge measurements were taken for three samples. A 13.1 +/- 0.07 eV of the average electron-hole pair creation energy and excellent energy resolution of approximately 0.3% were found for 5.486MeV alpha particles from an Am-241 radioactive source. The best Fano factor for 5.486MeV alpha particles, calculated from experimentally obtained epsilon values and the detector intrinsic energy resolution, was 0.382 +/- 0.007.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), We investigate the performance of a charged-particle detector fabricated using single-crystal diamond grown by chemical vapor deposition. The detector identified four different Am-241 alpha-particle energies (5.389, 5.443, 5.486, and 5.545 MeV) thanks to its superior energy resolution of 0.407 +/- 0.004% for electron drift and 0.418 +/- 0.004% for hole drift (full width at half maximum). The charge-collection efficiency inside the diamond crystal was above 97.0% for both electrons and holes. The diamond detector also exhibited no significant degradation in terms of pulse-height spectra and energy resolution during operation for more than 100 h under electron-drift conditions. In contrast, the pulse-height spectra obtained under hole-drift conditions deteriorated because of the polarization phenomenon.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), For stable semiconductor detector operation under harsh environments, an ideal single-crystal diamond without a charge trapping centre is required. For this study, a self-standing single-crystal CVD diamond was fabricated using a lift-off method. The reduction of charge trapping factors such as structural defects, point defects, and nitrogen impurities, was attempted using 0.2% of low-methane concentration growth and using a full metal seal chamber. A high-quality self-standing diamond with strong free-exciton recombination emission was obtained. Charge collection efficiencies were 100.1% for holes and 99.8% for electrons, provided that epsilon(diamond) = 13.1 eV and epsilon(Si) = 3.62 eV. Energy resolutions were 0.38% for both holes and electrons. We produced a high-performance diamond radiation detector using the productive lift-off method.

It is possible that carrier trapping generated with frequency or the leakage current increased. The detector produced by the diamond in Diamond Detector Ltd. detector, operates normally at 523 K. Electrons can be measured at 573 K. We discussed the characteristics of charge carrier transport in the diamond detector to prepare for future use at higher temperatures. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Translucent Gd2Si2O7:Ce (GPS:Ce) polycrystalline plates were prepared via liquid-phase sintering using SiO2 as a self-flux, and their scintillation performances for alpha-particles were investigated. Dense sintered compacts comprising large grains, some of which were larger than 100 mu m in diameter, were successfully prepared by sintering at 1690 degrees C for 100 h. The best result was obtained with the powder comprising only <40 mu m particles. Any combination of powders of <40 mu m and <15 mu m resulted in inhomogeneous structures with smaller grains of about 50 mu m. A translucent GPS:Ce thin plate was fabricated by grinding the sintered compact that contained excess SiO2 of 8 mol%. Since the plate was composed of large grains, scattering at the grain boundaries was effectively suppressed and many of the grains virtually act as single crystals when the plate thickness was less than 100 mu m. Therefore, the decrease in the plate thickness brought increase in the total transmission, and light yield and energy resolution were consequently improved. When the plate thickness was 50 mu m, light yield was 82% as compared with that of a GPS:Ce single crystal as a reference, and energy resolution attained to 13%. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), The performance of a diamond detector made of a single-crystal diamond grown by chemical vapor deposition was studied for charged particles, having energies ranging from 100 keV to 2 MeV. Energy peaks of these low-energy ions were clearly observed. However, we observed that the pulse height for individual incident ion decreases with increasing atomic number of the ions. We estimated the charge collection efficiency of the generated charge carriers by charged particle incident. The charge collection above similar to 95% is achieved for helium (He) with the energy above 1.5 MeV. On the other hand, the charge collection efficiency for heavy-ions shows lower values compared with that of He+, similar to 70% for silicon (Si+) and similar to 30% for gold (Au3+), at the same incident energy range, respectively. - Radiation hardness of a single crystal CVD diamond detector for MeV energy protons

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A neutron bang time and burn history monitor in inertial confinement fusion with fast ignition are necessary for plasma diagnostics. In the FIREX project, however, no detector attained those capabilities because high-intensity X-rays accompanied fast electrons used for plasma heating. To solve this problem, single-crystal CVD diamond was grown and fabricated into a radiation detector. The detector, which had excellent charge transportation property, was tested to obtain a response function for intense X-rays. The applicability for neutron bang time and burn history monitor was verified experimentally. Charge collection efficiency of 99.5% +/- 0.8% and 97.1% +/- 1.4% for holes and electrons were obtained using 5.486 MeV alpha particles. The drift velocity at electric field which saturates charge collection efficiency was 1.1 +/- 0.4 x 10(7) cm/s and 1.0 +/- 0.3 x 10(7) cm/s for holes and electrons. Fast response of several ns pulse width for intense X-ray was obtained at the GEKKO XII experiment, which is sufficiently fast for ToF measurements to obtain a neutron signal separately from X-rays. Based on these results, we confirmed that the single-crystal CVD diamond detector obtained neutron signal with good S/N under ion temperature 0.5-1 keV and neutron yield of more than 109 neutrons/shot.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Scintillation detectors for alpha particles are often used in nuclear fuel facilities. Alpha particle detectors have also become important in the research field of radionuclide therapy using alpha emitters. ZnS(Ag) is the most often used scintillator for alpha particle detectors because its light output is high. However, the energy resolution of ZnS(Ag)-based scintillation detectors is poor because they are not transparent. A new ceramic sample, namely the cerium doped Gd2Si2O7 (GPS) scintillator, has been tested as alpha particle detector and its performances have been compared to that one of three different scintillating materials: ZnS(Ag), GAGG and a standard plastic scintillator. The different scintillating materials have been coupled to two different photodetectors, namely a photomultiplier tube (PMT) and a Silicon Photo multiplier (Si-PM): the performances of each detection system have been compared. Promising results as far as the energy resolution performances (10% with PMT and 14% with Si-PM) have been obtained in the case of GPS and GAGG samples. Considering the quantum efficiencies of the photodetectors under Lest and their relation to the emission wavelength of the different scintillators, the best results were achieved coupling the GPS with the PMT and the GAGG with the Si-PM (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The performance of a single-crystal diamond detector, grown by chemical vapour deposition, as an energy spectrometer for charged particles was studied. The detector was able to identify four different energies of (241) Am alpha-particles (5.389, 5.443, 5.486, and 5.545 MeV) thanks to a superior intrinsic energy resolution of similar to 0.4% (full width at half maximum). The electrode configuration, specifically the electric field configuration inside the diamond crystal, and the electrode materials, strongly affect the energy resolution for charged particles. The charge collection efficiency inside the diamond crystal was similar to 97% for both electrons and holes.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Alpha particles are monitored for detecting nuclear fuel material (i.e., plutonium and uranium) at nuclear fuel facilities. Currently, for monitoring the airborne contamination of nuclear fuel, only energy information measured by Si semiconductor detectors is used to distinguish nuclear fuel material from radon daughters. In some cases, however, such distinguishing is difficult when the radon concentration is high. In addition, a Si semiconductor detector is generally sensitive to noise. In this study, we developed a new alpha particle imaging system by combining a Si PM array, which is insensitive to noise, with a Ce-doped Gd3Al2Ga3O12(GAGG) scintillator, and evaluated our developed system's fundamental performance. The scintillator was 0.1-mm thick, and the light guide was 3.0 mm thick. An Am-241 source was used for all the measurements. We evaluated the spatial resolution by taking an image of a resolution chart. A 1.6 lp/mm slit was clearly resolved, and the spatial resolution was estimated to be less than 0.6-mm FWHM. The energy resolution was 13% FWHM. A slight distortion was observed in the image, and the uniformity near its center was within +/- 24%. We conclude that our developed alpha-particle imaging system is promising for plutonium detection at nuclear fuel facilities. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The response of a diamond detector made from a single crystal grown by chemical vapour deposition was studied using a broadband amplifier. A short pulse width of similar to 1 ns for Am-241-alpha-particles was observed with a digital oscilloscope. To discuss pulse shape distortion from the detector in a measurement system, we simulated waveforms with a SPICE simulator using an equivalent circuit model that contained three main parts: detector, amplifier, and oscilloscope. In the simulation, we found that the pulse width spread by more than 200 ps following amplification. We discuss the effects of the detector read-out circuit time constant on the observed waveforms and confirm that the pulse width spread was restrained by use of a short time constant compared with carrier drift time in diamond crystals.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A scintillator plate with high energy resolution was developed to produce an alpha particle monitor used in nuclear fuel reprocessing plants and mixed plutonium-uranium oxide (MOX) fuel plants. Grains of a Gd2Si2O7 (GPS) scintillator of several 10 to 550 mu m were fixed on a glass substrate and were then mechanically polished. By increasing the size of scintillator grains and removing fine powders, the collected light yield and energy resolution for alpha particles were drastically improved. Energy resolution of 9.3% was achieved using average grain size of 91 mu m. Furthermore, the ratios between counts in a peak and total counts were improved by more than 60% by the further increase of grain size and adoption of mechanically polished surfaces on both sides. Beta and gamma ray influences were suppressed sufficiently by the thin 100 mu m scintillator plates. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The performance of a diamond detector made of single-crystal diamond grown by chemical vapour deposition was studied for heavy ions, having energy of 3MeV. Energy peaks of these low-energy ions were clearly observed. However, the pulse height for individual incident ion decreases with increasing atomic number of the ions. For understanding this pulse height reduction effect, we calculated the amount of ionizing and non-ionizing energy loss of incident ions in the diamond detector. The results of our calculation suggest the contribution of charge loss mechanisms other than the recombination effect of electron-hole pairs produced along the ionized track. We also mentioned the incomplete charge collection near the boundary region between the metal electrode and the diamond surface.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), As part of the development of diamond radiation detectors for energy spectrometry, quality improvement of CVD diamond single crystals was conducted mainly by measures of single diamond substrates. To suppress stress resulting from unconformity of lattice spacing between a substrate and a grown layer, which sometimes causes breakage, HP/HT type IIa diamond single-crystal substrates were adopted, and it resulted successfully. In addition an off-axis (001) surface was fabricated on the substrate to reduce abnormal growth. A lift-off method was adopted to reuse the HP/HT type IIa substrate with an off-axis (001) surface. Judging from peaks caused by free exciton recombination in cathode luminescence spectra, growth conditions more strongly affected the diamond crystal quality than substrates of any kind. Energy resolution of 0.6% for alpha particles was obtained by one CVD diamond single crystal. Charge collection efficiency of approximately 100% and 95% for holes and electrons was achieved. Step bunching caused by residual gas was observed on the grown CVD diamond surface. From the perspective of charge carriers' transportation measurement, the reduction of residual gas and optimization of growth conditions are indispensable. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Thick (similar to 100 mu m) undoped diamond films were grown homoepitaxially on single crystal (SC) diamond substrates by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD). To form a freestanding SC diamond film (plate), the substrate was pre-ion-implanted with high-energy ion beams before the film growth, and after the thick-film deposition, the substrate was eliminated using a lift-off method, resulting in fabrication of a SC CVD diamond plate. Two samples were prepared; sample 1 was grown on a (001) oriented, nitrogen doped CVD SC diamond at similar to 900 degrees C with the input microwave power of 1.7 kW, while sample 2 was grown on a (001) oriented, high-pressure high-temperature synthesized type-1b SC diamond at similar to 900 degrees C with the input microwave power of 1.25 kW. The formed SC plates have high optical transparencies, indicating no remarkable optical absorptions seen in the wavelength from ultraviolet to near infrared. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of both samples show strong free exciton FE peaks, while in sample 2 relatively strong optical emissions corresponding to nitrogen related centers were observed in the visible region. After the metal electrodes were formed on both faces of the SC diamond plate to fabricate a sandwich-type diamond particle detector, the energy spectra of 5.486 MeV alpha-particles from Am-241 were measured. The charge collection efficiencies (CCEs) of sample 1 were CCE = 98% for a hole transport and CCE = 89% for an electron transport, respectively, while CCEs of sample 2 were CCE = 80% for a hole transport and CCE = 78% for an electron transport, respectively. These results indicate that both holes and electrons in sample 2 were trapped much more than those in sample 1. Possible candidates of carrier capture centers are nitrogen and/or nitrogen-vacancy centers observed in PL, nonradiative defect (complex) centers, extended defects such as threading dislocations observed in micrographs taken with polarizers. The different growth conditions most likely affected crystallinity and responses to alpha-particles of the samples. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Crystallinity of a freestanding large (size: similar to 9 x 7 mm) undoped single crystal (SC) diamond film grown by plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and radiation response of a sandwich-type radiation detector made from this SC plate to a particles were investigated. The freestanding SC film was formed by elimination of a substrate using a so-called "lift-off method" after the growth of a thick-film on a pre-ion-implanted substrate. The formed SC plate has a high optical transparency, indicating no remarkable optical absorption seen in the wavelength from ultraviolet to near-infrared region. In the energy spectra of 5.486 MeV alpha-particles, relatively sharp peaks were observed for both hole and electron transits. For the hole transit, the peak resolution of the pulse height distribution and charge collection efficiency (CCE) were similar to 0.7% and 98%, respectively. On the other hand, for the electron transit, the peak resolution and CCE obtained were similar to 4.4% and 89%, respectively. In the photoluminescence spectrum at room temperature, a strong sharp peak around 235 nm corresponding to free exciton and a weak visible band mainly related to nitrogen-vacancy complex were observed. The spectral width of the (004) plane X-ray rocking curve was 16.5 ''. The micrograph taken using crossed-polarizers demonstrated that there are some white regions and four-petaled patterns, originating from internal strain and most likely threading dislocations, respectively.

英語, Respiratory motion considerably influences dose distribution, and thus clinical outcomes in radiotherapy for lung cancer. Breath holding, breath coaching, respiratory gating with external surrogates, and mathematical predicting models all have inevitable uncertainty due to the unpredictable variations of internal tumor motion. The amplitude of the same tumor can vary with standard deviations >5 mm occurring in 23% of T12N0M0 non-small cell lung cancers. Residual motion varied 16 mm (95th percentile) for the 40% duty cycle of respiratory gating with external surrogates. The 4-D computed tomography is vulnerable to problems relating to the external surrogates. Real-time 4-D radiotherapy (4DRT), where the temporal changes in anatomy during the delivery of radiotherapy are explicitly considered in real time, is emerging as a new method to reduce these known sources of uncertainty. Fluoroscopic, real-time tumor-tracking technology using internal fiducial markers near the tumor has +/- 2 mm accuracy, and has achieved promising clinical results when used with X-ray therapy. Instantaneous irradiation based on real-time verification of internal fiducial markers is considered the minimal requisite for real-time 4DRT of lung cancers at present. Real-time tracking radiotherapy using gamma rays from positron emitters in tumors is in the preclinical research stage, but has been successful in experiments in small animals. Real-time tumor tracking via spot-scanning proton beam therapy has the capability to cure large lung cancers in motion, and is expected to be the next-generation real-time 4DRT.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The melting and solidification behavior of the (Gd0.9Ce0.1)(2)Si2O7 (Ce:GPS) which shows attractive scintillation performance was investigated by means of the slow cooling floating zone (SCFZ) method. Although Ce:GPS melts incongruently, the peritectic composition is estimated to be very close to the GPS composition, less than 67.0 mol % of SiO2 in the (Gd,Ce)(2)O-3-SiO2 system. Constitutional supercooling occurred when approximately 70% volume of the melt was solidified, consequently, the lamellar structure consists of Ce:GPS and the amorphous phase was obtained. On the basis of our study, it is estimated that a volume of 70% of the starting material, whose composition is SiO2 = 67 mol % in the (Gd,Ce)(2)O-3-SiO2 system at Ce 10 mol %, can be solidified as the GPS phase using top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) with the self-flux of SiO2. - Electron emission characteristics of needle type semiconductor diamond electron emitters by pulsed bias operation and X-ray generation

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Electron emission characteristics of needle-type semiconductor diamond electron emitters with pulsed bias operation were evaluated. An X-ray generation experiment was performed. Fowler-Nordheim plotting confirmed that field emission completely governed the electron emission. Maximum emission current of 4.2 mA was achieved using an n-type diamond needle. The needle tip, with area smaller than 1 mu m(2), had estimated electron emission density greater than 4.2 x 10(5) A/cm(2). The effective emission area obtained from the Fowler-Nordheim plot was several 10(-13) cm(2). For adopting and emission area of 1 X 10(-12) cm(2), the estimated electron emission density was higher than 4.2 x 10(9) A/cm(2). Furthermore, the average emission current was 0.5-0.6 mA. This large electron emission was continued for several seconds and repeatable. A threshold electric field existed for electron emission higher than 50 kV/mm; pulsed electron emissions of less than 30 ms were created by slow triangular waveform shaped bias voltage supplied at frequencies of 5-10 Hz. An improved vacuum level and pulsed bias operation prevented damage to diamond electron emitters and steady electron emission better than with thermoelectronic emission and high bias voltage supply in DC mode; continuous X-ray generation of 1 h was achieved.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Radiation detectors were fabricated with layered structure diamonds comprising several micrometers of a boron-doped single crystal diamond and 20 mu m of insulating single crystal diamond layers grown on a HP/HT-type Ib diamond single crystal Substrate. To improve the yield rate of CVD diamond radiation detectors this approach was adopted. The detectors had rectification characteristics because of their boron-doped diamond contact and aluminum Schottky contact. The leakage current of one detector was less than 0.2 pA at reversed bias voltage of +50 V Energy resolutions of 2.6% and 2.8% for alpha particles from Am-241 were achieved using these detectors. The rise time of a leading edge of an Output signal from one detector was less than 20 ns, which was the fastest rise time of the measurement system; drift velocities of charge carriers were estimated to be faster than 1 x 10(5) cm/s. In addition, cathode luminescence spectra of insulating diamond layers were measured; peaks caused by free exciton recombination and 'band A' were observed. Improved crystallinity of the boron-doped diamond layer helps realization of a layered-type diamond radiation detector with higher energy resolution. - Measurement of charge carriers’ dynamics in diamond thin films by a fast TOF system using a UV pulsed Laser

Measurement was carried out using a fast TOF system with time resolution of 150 ps. This system adopted the localized irradiation mechanism of a 213-nm UV pulsed laser. Induced current caused by charge carrier motion was simulated by a one-dimensional approximation. Then measured signals were analyzed using the physical model of induced current that was confirmed through the simulation. The best lifetimes, T, of electrons and holes in evaluated diamond films were 1.8 +/- 0.3 ns for both charge carriers. However, drift velocities and mean free paths of trapping were not determined because insufficient charge carriers arrived at the further side electrode without trapping. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Emission currents and other characteristics of needle type diamond electron emitters were evaluated for application to diamond X-ray sources. The evaluation system consisted of a Pyrex glass vacuum chamber, a turbo molecular pump, and a - 50 kV high-voltage supplier. A needle type phosphorus-doped semiconductor diamond electron emitter was kept at 600 degrees C by ohmic heating in a vacuum environment; emission current of ca. 1.1 mu A was observed with bias voltage of - 50 W In addition, the electron orbit and intensity were estimated using an electron optics and electron gun design program 'EGUN'. Great differences were apparent between experimental and calculated results: 64 mu A electron emission current. This result was probably the result of a change in the shape of the tip of the diamond electron emitter. X-rays were generated using electrons from the diamond electron emitter with a tungsten target; energy spectra of the generated X-rays were measured. Then fluoroscopy was carried out.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Thin Gap Chambers (TGCs) will be used as a muon trigger device in the end-cap regions of the ATLAS detector. The detector will be placed in an experimental cavern approximately 100 m below the ground surface. A large amount of neutron background is expected in the cavern. Recoiled nuclei, mostly protons, emerging from the neutron interaction provide a much larger energy deposit in the gas volume than that of the minimum ionizing particle (MIP). This might cause aging and improper operation of the TGC. In order to investigate such influences, we performed a test on the operation stability of a real-use TGC under a much higher neutron flux environment than that expected in the ATLAS cavern. This paper describes the experimental results of the irradiation test using 14-MeV neutrons. The maximum flux was 3.2 x 10(5) HZ/cm(2), Which was effectively approximately nine times higher than that at the worst TGC location. It was proved that the TGC was immune to such a flux and instantaneous large signals originating from the neutrons. The mean output charge from the recoil proton at the nominal operation voltage was found to be approximately 30 times larger than that of MIP. The total fluence was 1.4 x 10(10) neutrons/cm(2), up to which the TGC operated stably and no detector deterioration was observed. This corresponds to approximately nine months of ATLAS operation at the nominal luminosity of 10(34) cm(2)/S. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), As a novel scintillation material, the use of Ce-doped Gd(2)Si(2)O(7) was investigated. In fact, (Gd(0.9)Ce(0.1))(2)Si(6)O(7) powder showed about 1.2 times greater light output than Gd(2)SiO(5) (GSO) single crystals for alpha particles of (241)Am. Furthermore, a fast decay constant of 52 ns was obtained for alpha-particles of (241)Am. Relations between the Ce concentration, crystal structure, and luminescence characteristics were also elucidated. Results of these studies show that heavy Ce doping alters the Gd(2)Si(2)O(7) crystal structure and that the luminescence intensity is dependent not on Cc concentration, but on the triclinic structure formed by heavy Cc doping.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Growth of cerium-doped gadolinium pyrosilicate (Ce:Gd2Si2O7) single crystals, which show 2.5 times greater light output for gamma-rays and five times greater light output for alpha-particles than GSO single crystals, is accomplished using the floating zone growth method (FZ method). Although growth of Gd2Si2O7 (GPS) single crystal is considered to be difficult because it melts incongruently according to the phase diagram of Gd2O3-SiO2 system, we attempted crystal growth of Ce:GPS because of the possibility that heavy Ce doping would change the phase diagram. Transparent single crystals were obtained, although some cracks were observed in the crystals. The crystal structure was triclinic with P/1 space group and density of 5.5 g/cm(3). Two peaks, which were observed using photoluminescence spectrometry at 372 nm and 394 nm, were attributed to 5d-4f transition in Ce3+ ion. Decay times of Ce:GPS scintillation were 46 ns for gamma-ray excitation and 39 ns for alpha-particle excitation. We consider that fabrication of crack free crystals will improve the energy resolution. - Development of a radiation detector made of a cubic boron nitride polycrystal

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Radiation detectors were fabricated using single and polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (cBN) crystals synthesized using a high-pressure and high-temperature (HP/HT) method. Although cBN single crystals obtained using a barium BN solvent system were nearly colorless and displayed high electrical resistance, in contrast to conventional amber-colored crystals, the single crystals exhibit a leakage current that renders them unsuitable for use in a detector. In contrast, a detector made of a cBN polycrystal synthesized by direct transformation had a very low leakage current of 0.2pA with bias voltage of 100V; it functioned as a radiation detector. From an experiment using alpha-particles, holes traversed a longer distance than electrons. It had a fast rise time of approximately 300ns. The detector also showed sensitivity to neutrons. However, output signals were smaller than the expected voltage from the experiment using alpha-particles, probably because of charge accumulation from the high-neutron flux. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A fast TOF measurement system with 150 ps time resolution for transport behavior of free charge carriers in an intrinsic diamond film by using a UV pulsed laser was developed. The 213 nm UV laser light narrowed to approximately 80 mu m widths could locally create hole-electron pairs in selected locations on a diamond film between two parallel electrodes on the surface. This system measured accurate charge transport characteristics in a diamond film, because created charge carriers moved in a part of the diamond film where they did not get any influence from the laser irradiation. Diamond samples used for verification of the TOF system were intrinsic CVD diamond films with thickness between 4 and 10 mu m grown on HP/HT diamond substrates. Transit time of holes for one diamond film was 4.7 ns with a traverse distance of 250 mu m. The local irradiation of laser made it possible to measure transport characteristics of electrons and holes separately. In addition, it substantially reduced the influence of photoelectron, because the laser beam did not irradiate electrodes. Through several examinations, excellent reliability of the TOF system was confirmed. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Variations of the Bragg diffraction angle induced by electric fields on piezoelectric single crystal were investigated with the aim of exploiting such crystals for novel neutron devices. A (1-x)(Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3)-x(PbTiO3) (PMN-PT) single crystal With strong piezoelectric characteristics was used in the experiment. The sample was poled along < 001 > direction before the experiment. In the course of diffraction measurements, a 0.3 degrees change was observed in the diffraction angle at the maximum induced by the electric field. The diffraction angle variation shows time-dependent behavior, which can be well described using a single exponential decay limited to a saturated value. This effect is considered a result of a change of the domain structure brought about through long-term application of an electric field for several hours. The obtained preliminary results confirmed the possibility of using a ferroelectric crystal as a neutron optical device. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Drift velocities of charge carriers in polycrystalline diamonds were measured by a self-triggered time-of-flight (TOF) method with alpha particles based on a radiation measurement technique. Based on these measured results, a synthesis method for polycrystalline diamond was verified, and the electric properties of polycrystalline diamonds were improved; drift velocity was increased from 5 x 10(2) to 3 x 10(4) cm/s. The mean free paths (MFPs) of capture of charge carriers in a CVD single crystal diamond was obtained by induced charge distribution measurements with alpha particles, and drift velocity was measured by another TOF method using. a UV pulsed laser. MFPs of capture of electron and hole in a CVD single crystal diamond were determined to be 5.4 and 9.6 mu m, respectively; the hole and electron drift velocities were 5 x 10(5) cm/s and 3 x 10(5) cm/s in an electric field of 24.4 kV/cm, respectively. For diamond, short transit times of several nanoseconds and short MFPs of capture in several micrometers were successfully obtained for the first time by combining of these methods.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Thin gap chamber (TGC) is a very thin multiwire proportional chamber of only a few millimeters. It has a quick response (about 20 ns), and its production costs are relatively low. TGCs have been used as large area detectors in high energy physics such as Large Electron-Positron collider (LEP) and will be used in the Large Hadron collider (LHC) experiment. However, the characteristics of TGCs under neutrons are not yet clearly understood. As the energy deposits of several MeV neutrons in TGCs are large, the possible effect of these deposits on the operation of the detector is a concern. We studied TGC performance in relation to efficiency, charge distribution, and operation stability using several gas mixtures (CO2/n-pentane and CF4/n-pentane) with 2.5 and 14 MeV neutron sources at Fusion Neutronics Source (FNS) in Japan Atomic Energy Agency. Operation stability using a CF4 based gas was more than 100 times greater than with CO2 based gas, while the minimum ionizing particle signal gain was almost the same. The detection efficiencies were around 0.1% (14 MeV) and 0.02% (2.5 MeV). These results are consistent with our simulation studies.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The process of neutron leaking from a 14 MeV neutron source facility was analyzed by calculations and experiments. The experiments were performed at the Fusion Neutron Source (FNS) facility of the Japan Atornic Energy Institute, Tokai-mura, Japan, which has a port on the roof for skyshine experiments, and a 3 He counter surrounded with a polyethylene moderator of different thicknesses was used to estimate the energy spectra and dose distributions. The He-3 counter with a 3-cm-thick moderator was also used for dose measurements, and the doses evaluated by the counter Counts and the calculated count-to-dose conversion factor agreed with the calculations to within similar to 30%. The dose distribution was found to fit a simple analytical expression,
D(r) = Q(D) exp(-r/lambda(D))/r
and the parameters Q(D) and lambda(D) are discussed. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier B.V. - Development of high resolution position sensitive UV detector based on highly oriented polycrystalline diamond

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), UV position-sensitive sensor using a polycrystalline highly-oriented diamond film with a sensitive area of 2 x 4.5 mm(2) developed, and a proof-of-concept Study was conducted. The charge division method was employed to establish the position when the light hits the sensitive area. A fifth higher harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser with pulse width of 100 ps was used as a light source. The position resolution was 0.25 mm, and there was good position linearity throughout the sensitive area. Considering the possibility of light-spot broadening due to diffraction by the slit, the sensor may have a better resolution than that indicated by the result. But the electric-field strength of some parts of the crystal was insufficient, the response time was relatively slow, approximately 0.5 ins. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Radiation tolerance of a type IIa synthetic diamond detector was examined from irradiation of mono-energetic 14 MeV neutrons. Measurements of I-V (current-voltage) characteristics and energy spectrum for 5.486 MeV alpha particles were performed after neutron irradiation. In the I-V characteristics measurement, enhancement of rectification was observed after neutron irradiation of up to 2.0 x 10(12) n/cm(2). Concurrently with the enhancement of rectification, significant decrease in signal amplitude was observed in energy spectrum measurement for alpha particles. It is considered that these changes were due to increase in the concentration of defects acting as shallow energy levels in the forbidden band. For neutron irradiation of higher than 1.6 x 10(13) n/cm(2), weakening of the rectification characteristics and recovery of the signal amplitude were observed. These changes imply that deep energy levels, which were also considered to be introduced by defects, were dominant and weakened the effects of the shallow energy levels. Increase in the concentration of the deep trapping levels resulted in gradual decrease of the signal amplitude and degradation in the energy resolution. The peak for the alpha particles was obtained up to 5.5 x 10(13) n/cm(2). (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), There are continuing efforts of developing faster FETs and diamond is one of the strong candidates as a base semiconductor. Since the upper-limit-frequency of diamond FETs determines saturated drift velocities of charge-carriers, we need to first characterize diamond to develop better FETs. It is, however, not easy to measure the velocities with response time of less than 20 ns. Therefore, we developed a drift velocity measurement system using a time-of-flight (TOF) technique with a UV laser with 100 ps pulse width. In order to realize response times faster than 20 ns, we employed a 50 Omega coaxial cable as a load, with which we could effectively reduce the stray capacitance and inductance, and also, suppress reflections in the signal which gives false signals. As a result, we can measure carrier-transit times shorter than 10 ns. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A wide range thermal neutron detector was developed based on the Scintillator with Optical Fiber (SOF) detector which has been previously used for thermal neutron monitoring during boron neutron capture therapy irradiation. With this new detector system we intended to address the issues of real-time thermal neutron flux measurement and the simultaneous measurement of a wide range of thermal neutron flux in a BNCT irradiation field which were difficult to implement with the gold wire activation method.
The dynamic range of linearity of the SOF detector was expanded by using a plastic scintillator with a rapid decay time. On the other hand, the contribution of gamma rays and fast neutrons in the measured signals were compensated from those obtained by a pair of SOF detectors, one with a (LiF)-Li-6 neutron converter and the other without. The discrimination level for the measured signals was also optimized to further reduce the contribution of gamma rays and fast neutrons signals. A non-paralyzable system model was applied to correct for the dead-time in the detector system.
A good agreement between the thermal neutron flux measured by the gold wire activation method and the paired SOF detector system was observed. However, measurements which would normally take a few days to perform with the gold wire activation method were obtained in just about 15 min using the SOF detector system. We also confirmed the dynamic range of linearity for the SOF detector system to be in the order of magnitude of 10(4). (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Response function measurement of layered-type chemical vapor deposition single crystal diamond radiation detectors for 14 MeV neutrons was carried out. The detector had a layered structure that was composed of a boron-doped diamond layer of 0.5 mum in thickness and a nondoped diamond layer of 20 mum on an inexpensive high pressure and high temperature-type Ib diamond substrate. The detector had energy resolution of 2.6% for 5.5 MeV alpha particles. This experiment was mainly carried out in order to understand the present status of the detector as a 14 MeV neutron spectrometer and an extent of charge trapping. As result, a peak caused by the C-12(n,alpha(0))Be-9 reactions was clearly observed; the best energy resolution of 6% as for a synthetic diamond radiation detector was achieved. Detection efficiency was 3.2x10(-7) counts/unit neutron fluence. However, taking the energy resolution for alpha particles, etc., into account, the energy resolution for 14 MeV neutrons was not so high. Further improvement based on better crystal growth is indispensable.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A principle verification experiment of neutron electric optical devices using piezoelectric single crystals was carried out. This neutron electric optical device can change its d-spacing by applying an electric field to the crystal, which results in change of the Bragg diffraction angle. Although an alpha-quartz has a small piezoelectric strain constant, an alpha-quartz was used in this experiment because characteristics of alpha-quartz are well known and it is easy to obtain high quality and large size single crystals. At first, macroscopic distortion and change of thickness caused by an applied electric field were observed by using laser interferometers. Thus, double crystal diffraction measurement using 4.7 Angstrom cold neutrons was carried out. For these experiments, DC bias voltage was applied to the crystal. As a result, peaks of rocking curves were shifted 14s at 500 V and 2 min at 1000 V from their original positions. These values were approximately one figure larger than the theoretical values; therefore, these results were influenced by macroscopic bending of the crystal. From these results, it can be concluded that the possibility of neutron electric optical devices using not only change of d-spacing but also macroscopic bending of piezoelectric crystal was confirmed.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A thin GSO scintillator was developed aiming at applications for the neutron science. In order to fabricate a large and thin GSO scintillator in the future, fabrication was started from two types of GSO powders. Although several GSO films were fabricated by evaporation techniques, these films did not have luminescence in photo luminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Thus, these samples were annealed up to 1550degreesC. However, it resulted in no luminescence observation. In response to these results, GSO powders were directly annealed; a phenomenon looking like melting and sintering were observed for Gd2Si2O7:Ce at a temperature higher than 1500degreesC. This sample was quasi-transparent and had luminescence at 405 nm in PL spectrum. In addition, this sample was tougher than a GSO single crystal. In conclusion, the prospect of fabrication of a thin GSO scintillator by combination of annealing and mechanical polishing was obtained. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The D-T neutron skyshine experiments were carried out at the Fusion Neutronics Source (FNS) of JAERI with a port at the roof in March 2002 and March 2003. The concrete thickness of the roof and the wall of a FNS target room are 1.15 and 2 m, respectively. The FNS skyshine port with a size of 0.9 × 0.9 m2 was open during the experimental period. The source neutron intensity was -1.7 × 1011 n/s in those skyshine experiments. The highest total dose rate measured was about 0.5 μSv/h at a distance of 30 m from the D-T target point and the dose rate was attenuated to about 0.1 μSv/h at a distance of 100 m and 0.02 μSv/h at a distance of 550 m. Those experimental results were analyzed by Monte Carlo code MCNP-4C with the nuclear data library JENDL-3.2, where the FNS building and the measurement field were modeled with a simplified cylindrical geometry, and the pine forest was modeled by homogenized cell with a height of 10m.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Superheated emulsions being inexpensive, easy to fabricate, and having tissue equivalent composition make them as one of the popular neutron dosemeters. One more advantage is that they can be made insensitive to gamma rays by the choice of the sensitive liquid. It is observed that the response of commercially available bubble detector to neutron decreases above 20 MeV while its response is roughly flat in the 0.1-15 MeV region. This restricts its application as a dosemeter to high-energy neutrons. The response of bubble detector from Bubble Technology Industries, has been observed by using Pb-breeder for high-energy neutrons from different facilities in Japan. It is observed that 2-3 cm Pb-breeder is effective in increasing the response of the detector to the nominal value. Theoretical calculation using MCNPX code indicates an increase in neutrons in the energy range of 0.1-10 MeV with Pb-breeder. The present work indicates the possibility of using the bubble detector as a dosemeter to high-energy neutron using a Pb-breeder of proper thickness. - Propagation characteristics of neutrons leaking from the accelerator facilities

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In this study spatial and time distribution of neutrons leaking from Hokkaido University 45 MeV Electron Linac facility have measured and compared with the Monte Carlo simulations. The neutron transport processes inside and outside the facility building has been simulated using MCNP. The neutrons have measured by BF3 counters and He-3 counters with polyethylene moderators up to the distance of 330 in from the facility. The spatial distribution of ambient dose equivalent converted from the counts has been compared with the simulation. The distribution estimated from the counts by the BF3 counter has been shown fairly good agreement with the calculation. The spatial distribution of counts obtained at the 45 MeV Electron Linac facility has been compared with that obtained at the Fusion Neutronics Source (FNS) facility of JAERI. The difference between the propagation characteristics of neutrons leaking from those facilities has been discussed. - Measurement of Behavior of Charge Carriers’ and Investigation into Charge Trapping Mechanism in High-purity Type-IIa Diamond Single Crystals Grown by High-pressure and High-temperature Synthesis

Although the drift velocities of holes and electrons were 6.7 x 10(5) cm/s at 30 kV/cm and 6.5 x 10(5) cm/s at 15 kV/cm, respectively, these values are less than 1/10 of the drift velocities of top-grade, high-purity natural-type IIa diamond single crystals reported elsewhere. In addition, pulse-height spectra, i.e., induced-charge distribution, were measured with light illumination to determine the energy levels of trapping centers, and it was revealed that illumination with red light released trapped electrons. Moreover, it was observed that red light illumination facilitated the quick release of trapped holes. To explain these experimental results, the Fermi level and ionizing ratio of impurities were calculated. Results show that nitrogen works as a trapping center for electrons and boron works as a trapping center for holes; probably this center had trapping and detrapping effects on holes. However, it was confirmed that holes could not play the role of a trapping center for electrons. Moreover, it was revealed that another energy level was required for a trapping center for electrons. To explain all experimental results, an energy level 0.6 eV above the valence band was assumed in addition to the nitrogen and boron impurities. In this case, several ppm of acceptor-like centers are required to function as trapping centers for electrons. - Measurement of radiation skyshine with D-T neutron source

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The D-T neutron skyshine experiments have been carried out at the Fusion Neutronics Source (FNS) of JAERI with the neutron yield of similar to 1.7 x 10(11) n/s. The concrete thickness of the roof and the wall of a FNS target room are 1.15 and 2 in. respectively. The FNS skyshine port with a size of 0.9 x 0.9 m(2) was open during the experimental period. The radiation dose rate outside the target room was measured a maximum distance of 550 in from the D-T target point with a spherical rem-counter. Secondary gamma-rays were measured with high purity Ge detectors and NaI scintillation counters. The highest neutron dose was about 9 x 10(-22) Sv/(source neutron) at a distance of 30 in from the D-T target point and the dose rate was attenuated to 4 x 10(-24) Sv/(source neutron) at a distance of 550 in. The measured neutron dose distribution was analyzed with Monte Carlo code MCNP-4B and a simple line source model. The MCNP calculation overestimates the neutron dose in the distance range larger than 230 m. The line source model agrees well with the experimental results within the distance of 350 m.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The response of superheated drop detectors or bubble detectors (BDs) was measured for quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams in the 40-75 MeV range and the effects of a lead-converter enclosing the detector introduced to extend the response to the high-energy region were discussed. The experiments were performed in the quasi-monoenergetic neutron beam field at the AVF cyclotron facility, TAKASAKI Ion Accelerator for Advanced Radiation Application (TIARA) of Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute(JAERI). Monte Carlo calculations by MCNPX code were carried out to estimate the lead-converter effect on neutron spectra in a detector exposed to 40-75 MeV quasi-monoenergetic source neutrons. The calculations indicated an increase in the energy ranges of the neutrons of 0.1-10 MeV and this can be expected to increase the number of bubbles produced in the detector. Experimental results showed that the sensitivity was lowered to about a half the nominal sensitivity and that a 3 cm thick lead-converter could compensate for the sensitivity decrease in the experimental energy region.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The first investigation of a radiation detector made of a diamond single crystal grown by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method was successfully carried out. The diamond single crystal, having a size of 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.7 mm(3), was grown by the CVD method and then applied to the detector. The CVD method was able to reduce nitrogen and boron impurities in diamond crystals more effectively than a high-pressure and high-temperature (HP/HT) method. Consequently the detector had high-energy resolution of 0.4% for 5.486 MeV alpha particles from an Am-241 source. The behavior of charge carriers in the detector could not be adequately investigated because the detector had a partial depression layer and strong rectification. Ionization energy of the CVD diamond was determined to be 16.1 eV; this value was higher than that of the HP/HT type IIa diamond, i.e., 13.1 eV. This result shows the potential of CVD diamond single crystals because an ideal diamond should have higher ionization energy than the HP/HT type IIa diamond that had the influence of impurities.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The transmissivity of KU-1 quartz which is a candidate of the window material for UV and visible spectroscopy in ITER was measured under the irradiation of 14 MeV neutrons up to the fluence of 7.4 x 10(19) n/m(2) in the UV range (200-400 nm) Significant transmission loss was observed in the wavelength range of 200-300 nm. Two absorption peaks were identified: an E'-center at 215 nm and Si(III) defects at 245 nm. The E'-center absorption is much larger than the Si(III) defect absorption. The transmission loss increased with the neutron fluence, decreased during the irradiation breaks and returned almost to the same level as before when the irradiation resumed. This phenomenon indicates that an absorption induced by the neutron irradiation is caused by stable scattering and short lifetime centers. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The purpose of this study is to develop a radiation distribution monitor using a normal plastic optical fiber. The monitor has a long operating length and can obtain continuous radiation distributions. A principle of the position sensing is based on a time-of-flight technique. The monitor is sensitive to beta rays or charged particles, gamma rays, and fast neutrons. The spatial resolutions for beta-rays (Sr-90-Y-90), gamma-rays (Cs-137), and D-T neutrons are 30,37, and 13 cm, respectively. The detection efficiencies for the beta-rays, gamma-rays, and D-T neutrons are 0.11%, 1.6 X 10(-5)% and 1.2 x 10(-4)%, respectively. The effective attenuation length of the detection efficiency is 18 m. In this paper, we describe the basic characteristics of this monitor. - Absolute measurement of D-T neutron flux with a monitor using activation of flowing water

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Neutron activation with water flow based on the (16)O(n, p)(16)N reaction (T(1/2) = 7.13 s) has been proposed for the accurate fusion power monitor with reasonable time resolution in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)-FEAT. The experiment for validation of the method for determining the neutron flux was carried out at the Fusion Neutronics Source (FNS) facility in Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). The stainless steel (SS316)/Water assembly was utilized to simulate a neutron field in the blanket region of ITER. The closed water loop was laid between the assembly and the shielded measurement area. The gamma -rays from the irradiated water were measured by Bi(4)Ge(3)O(12) scintillator which was similar to 12 m away from the irradiation point. The range of the ow velocity was 2-11 m/s. The neutron spectrum at the probe section in the SS316/Water assembly was calculated by the MCNP-4B code with the FENDL/E-2.0 library. The cross section data of the (16)O(n, p)(16)N reaction was taken from the FENDL/A-2.0 file. The counting response of the BGO detector including the effect of the shielding lead blocks surrounding it was calculated by MCNP-4B. The neutron yield from the water activation has a good agreement with that from associated alpha particle detector. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A series of fusion neutronics experiments has been performed at the Fusion Neutronics Source facility at Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute as ITER EDA R&D tasks to find ways of dealing with various nuclear problems originating from 14 MeV neutrons in ITER. Recently three groups of experiments were carried out: (1) straight duct streaming experiments, (2) decay heat experiments, and (3) development of a fusion power monitor utilizing activation of water. The straight duct streaming experiments suggest that the calculation accuracy for straight duct streaming analyses in ITER nuclear designs is +/-40%. The decay heat experiments show that the accuracy of the decay heat calculation is within 10% for copper and type 316 stainless steel, while it is similar to 30% for tungsten. It is demonstrated that a fusion power monitor utilizing activation of water is applicable to ITER. - Diamond radiation detector made of an ultrahigh-purity type IIa diamond crystal grown by high-pressure and high-temperature synthesis

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Synthetic diamond radiation detectors made of ultrahigh-purity type IIa diamond crystals were developed. The diamond crystals, which were grown by high-pressure and high-temperature synthesis, contained less nitrogen impurity than 0.1 ppm, i.e., 1/10 of conventional type IIa diamond crystals. Since the ultrahigh-purity type IIa diamond crystal was a p-type semiconductor due to a trace impurity of boron, a structure consisting of Schottky and ohmic contacts was adopted for the detectors to suppress an increase in leakage current. For the same purpose, a metal-insulator-semiconductor structure using a chemical vapor deposition diamond insulating layer was adopted for one of the detectors. Plural peaks were observed in the 5.486 MeV alpha energy spectra obtained by the detectors; motion of holes produced the main part of output pulses from the detectors on these measurements. One of the peaks in each spectrum was hardly influenced by light irradiation, even ultraviolet light of 370 nm (3.4 eV), compared with a peak obtained by the conventional type IIa diamond radiation detector. This experimental result indicated that there was a superior part in the crystal where deep energy levels did not exist so much. Although there was no direct evidence, influence of a distribution of the boron impurity in the crystal was expected. On the other hand, electron trapping severely occurred and resulted in loss in charge collection; an effect of the reduction in the nitrogen impurity was not confirmed on the behavior of electrons.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), As a part of development of nuclear instrumentation for the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER), technical feasibility of a fusion power monitor based on activation of water flow was studied. The fusion power monitor determines D-T neutron yield, i.e., fusion power, by measuring 6.1 and 7.1 MeV gamma rays accompanied by disintegration of N-16 nuclei that are produced by the O-16(n,p) N-16 reactions with 14 MeV neutrons in water. The fusion power monitor consists of a water pipe loop laid from the first wall to the outside of the bioshield and a gamma -ray detector, e.g., a BGO scintillator. Fusion power can be measured in an absolute value by this monitor similar to a neutron activation method with a pneumatic tube system; in addition, this monitor has a feature that continuously measures the fusion power with time resolution faster than 1 s. This monitor also has other excellent features in terms of long-term stability, sensitivity only for D-T neutrons and being maintenance free. In order to confirm the technical feasibility of the fusion power monitor based on activation of water flow, experiments for dependence of N-16 gamma -ray yield on the velocity of water flow and for time response were carried out. It was found that the time response was described in a turbulent flow model, and time resolution of 50 ms that fully satisfied the time resolution of 100 ms required from plasma diagnostics was achieved. Furthermore, detection sensitivity of the fusion power monitor when it is applied to the ITER was estimated based on the experimental results; it was determined that the monitor had sufficiently high sensitivity.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Metallic impurities in high-purity type IIa and conventional type To diamond single crystals grown by high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) synthesis were determined by neutron activation analysis using thermal neutrons. Metallic impurities of Fe, Co, Cr and other minor elements were detected in the high-purity type IIa diamond crystal. The typical quantities of these metallic impurities were a few ppb. The influence of these metallic impurities on the electrical properties of the type IIa diamond crystal was practically negligible compared with nitrogen and boron impurities behaving as a donor and an acceptor, respectively. In addition to the impurities detected in the type IIa diamond crystal, Ni impurities of several hundreds of ppb were detected in conventional type Ib diamond crystals. A difference in molten metal solvents used in the synthesis of each diamond crystal resulted in the difference in metallic impurities. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Characteristics of a synthetic diamond radiation detector in high-temperature environments up to 196 degrees C were investigated. The radiation detector was made of a high-purity type IIa diamond single crystal synthesized by a high-pressure and high-temperature (HP/HT) method. In order to suppress a strong increase in leakage current in a high-temperature environment, a surface barrier structure composed of Schottky and ohmic contacts was adopted. The detector operated as an energy spectrometer for 5.486 MeV alpha particles up to 156 degrees C. The peak due to the alpha particles obtained at 68 degrees C slightly shifted to the higher-energy side compared with the same peak obtained at 25 degrees C; furthermore, the energy resolution of these peaks was improved with the increase in the detector temperature. Effects of trapping and detrapping on holes were suppressed by thermal excitation, and this resulted in an improvement in collection efficiency of charge carriers. With a further increase in the detector temperature, loss of charge carriers became more significant. Finally, operation of the detector was prevented at 196 degrees C by a polarization phenomenon caused by accumulation of space charge in the detector. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Contrary to the usual results of scintillation research, we found that some insulator crystals show excitation-density enhanced stimulated emission through distant interaction between excited states (excitons) and through photons emitted, and found a new 100 ps-lived luminescence band. The manner of excitation-density and temperature dependence of the luminescence efficiency and decay rate of this new band suggests the formation of the exciton complex and further of the electron-hole plasma.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A new type of fast neutron spectrometer composed of a CH4 proportional counter and a Si semiconductor detector which is called the counter telescope type was constructed for plasma-temperature diagnostics. The counting gas CH4 is used as a converter of neutrons to protons. Since the energy loss of the proton in the converter CH4 can be fairly precisely measured with the proportional counter, the energy resolution for the proton is high, so that a good energy resolution for neutrons is obtained. The energy resolution of the spectrometer itself excluding the energy spread of the D-T 14 MeV neutrons was 1.7% which seems to be the best so far, and the detection efficiency was 1 x 10(-6). If better energy resolution is preferable, even 0.5% is obtained and the efficiency in this case is 4 x 10(-8). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A boron doped CVD diamond contact was applied to a diamond radiation detector for suppressing a polarization phenomenon. A boron doped CVD diamond layer was grown on a synthetic type IIa single crystal diamond; it was then used as a contact. The contact was completely free from radiation damage which is unavoidable in a contact made by an ordinary ion implantation technique. An energy resolution of 0.39% for 5.486 MeV alpha particles was achieved. A steady counting rate higher than 50 cps for alpha particles was confirmed by the developed detector. It is proposed that the boron doped CVD diamond contact functioned as a blocking contact on this detector. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The response function of a diamond radiation detector using a synthetic type IIa single diamond crystal for 14 MeV neutrons was measured. There was severe trapping of electrons in the synthetic diamond crystals used in this study. Accordingly, a prototype diamond radiation detector using the synthetic type IIa single diamond whose thickness was 0.1 mm was used with high bias voltage up to 1000 V, i.e., electric field of 100 kV/cm. The measurement resulted in the first observation of a 14 MeV neutron peak corresponding to C-12(n, alpha)Be-9 reactions by a synthetic diamond radiation detector. Energy resolution of the prototype detector for 14 MeV neutrons was 9%. Experimental detection efficiency of the detector was consistent with calculated detection efficiency. Synthetic diamond crystals which do not have trapping of charge carriers are indispensable in order to improve energy resolution for 14 MeV neutrons. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Two natural diamond detectors (NDDs) operating at room temperature were used for Fusion Neutronics Source (FNS) deuterium-tritium (DT) neutron spectra measurements at different points around the tritium target and for different deuteron beam energies, Energy resolution of both NDDs were measured, with values 1.95% and 2.5%. Due to the higher energy resolution of one of the two NDDs studied it was possible to measure the shape of the DT neutron energy distribution and its broadening due to deuteron scattering inside the target. The influence of pulse pileup on the energy resolution of the combined system (NDD+electronics) at count rates up to 3.8X10(5) counts/s was investigated, A 3.58% energy resolution for the spectrometric system based on NDD and a 0.25 mu s shaping time amplifier has been measured at a count rat of 5.7X10(5) counts/s. It is shown that special development of a fast pulse signal processor is necessary for NDD based spectrometry at count rates of approximately 10(6) counts/s.

In order to obtain the information of the triton slowing-down, the NDD was applied to the deuterium discharges of the JT-60U tokamak. By accumulating the data of several shots, the change of the pulse height spectrum suggesting the slowing-down of tritons was observed after neutral beam turn-off.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A directional neutron detector based on a recoil proton telescope was investigated by experimental approach. The detector showed a directionality not only for 14-MeV neutrons but also for fission and 2.4-MeV neutrons. Due to a good rise-time pulse-shape discrimination capability of a CsI(Tl) scintillator, a recoil proton energy spectrum was clearly observed in high gamma-ray background. At a detector angle of 21 degrees with respect to the neutron incident direction, the counts corresponding to the high energy neutron became a half of those at 0 degrees. A major source for reducing the signal-to-noise ratio was identified to be the energetic protons via the (n, p) reaction in the CsI(Tl) scintillator. - Diamond radiation detector using a synthetic IIa type mono-crystal

Pu取扱い施設では一般にα線ダストモニタによって空気汚染の連続監視を行っている。本計測ではPu由来の5.5MeVα線とバックグラウンドであるRn子孫核種由来の7.7MeVを中心とするα線とを弁別する必要があり、Si表面障壁型半導体検出器が一般に使用される。しかし耐久性、耐ノイズ性に問題があるためJAEAの井崎らはZnS:Agシンチレータを代替とするモニタを開発した。本研究ではZnSに代わり、高エネルギー分解能をもつGd2Si2O7:Ce(GPS:Ce)シンチレータを粉砕、ガラス基板上に固定、機械研磨することでエネルギー分解能を維持したまま大面積化する事に成功した。今回、施設で使用されている紙フィルターを使用し、ダストモニタとしての適用試験を行った。その結果、エネルギー弁別性能の指標であるRn子孫核種除去率をZnS:Agシンチレータと比較して20%程度向上できる見込みを得た。, 一般社団法人 日本原子力学会, 日本語 - TSSG法によるGd2Si2O7:Ce単結晶シンチレータの合成と窒素中アニールによる発光量の改善

Single crystal Gd2Si2O7:Ce (GPS:Ce) scintillators were grown by a top seeded solution growth (TSSG) method and their crystal structures and scintillation properties were measured. Single crystal GPS with several cerium concentration; (Gd1-xCex)(2)Si2O7 (x=0.025, 0.1, 0.15), were synthesized with a RF-Czochralski furnace. For GPS: Ce 2.5 at.%, a crystal structure was orthorhombic. For GPS: Ce 10 and 15 at.%, these were triclinic. In PL measurements, broad emissions around 350 to 450 nm correspond to 5d-4f transitions of Ce3+ were observed. In gamma-ray measurements, each scintillator shows light output larger than that of BGO. High energy resolution of around 5% was obtained for GPS: Ce 2.5 and 10 at.%. GPS: Ce 2.5 at.% shows ca. 4.4 times light output larger than that of BGO. Decay times of triclinic GPS were faster than that of orthorhombic GPS., IEEE, 英語 - ダイヤモンド・ショットキーダイオードの耐放射線性

Response function measurement of Gd2Si2O7 (GPS) scintillator for thermal neutrons was carried out. GPS single crystals exhibits light output twice higher than GSO single crystals for thermal neutrons. In addition, similar experiments with GPS scintillators of 50 pm in thickness were conducted to improve signal-to-noise ratio between neutrons and gamma-ray. GPS powder samples, size of each particle was 50 pro, showed lower light output than that of GPS single crystals, because absorption and scattering of scintillation light at the sample surface reduced the correction efficiency of scintillation fight. Optimization of the particle size, reflectors and techniques to fix the GPS sample will improve the powder density and detection efficiency because powder samples were directly coated on a glass plate in this experiment., IEEE, 英語 - Dependence of crystal structure and luminescence property of Gd2Si2O7 on cerium concentration

Cerium-doped gadolinium pyrosilicate single crystals Ce : Gd2Si2O7 with various Cc concentrations of 2.5-25 mol% were fabricated using floating zone method. Their scintillation performances were investigated under irradiation of gamma rays of Cs-137. The Ce concentration dependence of scintillation characteristics and high-performance scintillation characteristics were obtained: 35 times greater light output than BGO single crystals, rapid decay, and good energy resolutions of 5.1-8.4%.

Growth of cerium-doped gadolinium pyrosilicate (Gd2Si2O7:Ce) single crystals, which show 2.5 times greater light output for gamma-rays and five times greater light output for alpha particles than GSO single crystals, is accomplished using Floating Zone growth method (FZ method). Although growth of Gd2Si2O7 (GPS) single crystal is considered to be difficult because it melts incongruently according to the phase diagram in a Gd2O3-SiO2 system, we attempted crystal growth of Ce:GPS because the possibility exists that heavy Ce doping changes the phase diagram. Transparent single crystals were obtained, but cracks were observed in the crystals. The crystal structure was triclinic with space group P-/1 and density of 5.5 g/cm(3). Two peaks were observed by photoluminescence spectrum measurement at 374 nm and 394 nm caused by 5d-4f transition in Ce3+ ion. Decay times of Ce:GPS were 46 ns for gamma-ray and 39 ns for alpha particles; its density was 5.5 g/cm(3). We consider that the energy resolution of 23% will be improved by fabrication of large crystals and improvement of crystal perfectibility., IEEE, 英語 - 01pC34P 直流グロー放電陽光柱プラズマ内のダスト粒子(III)(プラズマ基礎)

Recently, a new type of detector using a scintillator coupled with an optical fiber was developed for the same purpose. Among these types of detectors, the SOF (Scintillator with Optical Fiber) detector has been used for monitoring thermal neutron during boron neutron capture therapy in Japan. The detector probe of the SOF detector system is smaller than other neutron monitors such as gas counters which makes the SOF detector more useful for thermal neutron monitoring in restricted spaces. A phantom experiment was performed using the SOF detector to test the applicability for a boron neutron capture therapy irradiation field study. The result measured by the SOF detector agrees well with a gold wire measurement in spite of only a 30-minutes measurement time with the SOF detector., IEEE, 英語 - Application of an ultra-miniature thermal neutron monitor for BNCT irradiation field study

The D-T neutron skyshine experiments have been carried out at the Fusion Neutronics Source (FNS) of JAERI with the neutron yield of ∼1.7×1011n/s. The concrete thickness of the roof and the wall of a FNS target room are 1.15 and 2 m, respectively. The FNS skyshine port with a size of 0.9 × 0.9 m2 was open during the experimental period.The radiation dose rate outside the target room was measured as far as about 550 m away from the D-T target point with a spherical rem-counter. The highest neutron dose was about 0.5 μSv/hr at a distance of 30 m from the D-T target point and the dose rate was attenuated to 0.002 μSv/hr at a distance of 550 m. The measured neutron dose distribution was analyzed with Monte Carlo code MCNP-4B and a simple line source model. The MCNP calculation overestimates the neutron dose in the distance range larger than 250 m. The neutron spectra were evaluated with a 3He detector with different thickness of polyethylene neutron moderators. Secondary gamma-rays were measured with high purity Ge detectors and NaI scintillation detectors., The Japan Society of Plasma Science and Nuclear Fusion Research, 日本語 - Investigation on charge trapping mechanism in a high-purity HP/HT type IIa diamond single crystal using nuclear methods

FNSで行った実験結果に基づき、流水の放射化を利用したITER用中性子モニターの設計を行った。水配管は径20mmとし、照射端は赤道面のフィラーブランケットモジュール内に真空容器を貫通して挿入する構造とした。$gamma$線測定ステーションは生体遮蔽外のピットに設置し、照射端からの距離は20mとした。この配置に基づき、各種特性をMCNP-4bコードを用いて評価を行った。時間分解能は水配管に沿った放射化反応の分布及び乱流拡散を考慮して、10m/sの流速に対し時間分解能100ms( ITER要求値)以下となった。また放射化量はプラズマの位置にほとんど依存しないことがわかった。$gamma$線測定ステーションにおいて異なる検出効率の$gamma$線検出器を2台用いることによって、100kW-500MWのITERの出力範囲で測定が可能であることを示した。, 英語 - 過熱液滴型中性子線量計の高エネルギー中性子に対する応答

循環水の放射化を利用したD-T中性子モニターの技術的成立性に関する実験的研究をITER R&Dタスクとして行った。FNSのD-T中性子源を用いて、パルス中性子に対する時間分解能を調べたところ、10.7m/sの流速において50msの時間分解能が得られた。またITERのブランケット領域の中性子場を模擬するためにステンレス綱/水体系内に水ループを挿入して、中性子束の測定精度の検証実験を行った。その結果、測定誤差は10%以下であり、ITER用中性子モニターとして利用可能であることを示した。, 英語 - 14MeV中性子ビームの特徴付けとその応用に関する研究

原研FNSの14-MeV単色中性子源にコリメータ及び遮蔽体を設置し、14-MeV中性子ビームを利用可能にした。遮蔽体は鉄製プリコリメータ(厚さ50cm)及び鉄(120cm)、ポリエチレン(40cm)、カドミニウム(100cm)、鉛(20cm)からなるメインコリメータで構成されており、コリメータ径は2cmである。コリメータ出口における中性子ビーム特性をシンチレーション検出器やイメージングプレートにより実験的に、またMCNPコードによる計算で調べた結果、最大14-MeV中性子束は約2$times$10$^{6}$n/cm$^{2}$/sであり、これと比較してビーム領域外では中性子束が4桁以上低いこと、及びビーム中の14-MeV中性子成分の割合は99.9%以上に達することが分かった。応用の一例として2次$gamma$線生成断面積測定を行い、従来のパルス中性子に比べて2桁以上効率の良い測定が実現できた。また優れた近接性や低バックグラウンドが達成されていることが示され、今後の利用が期待される。, 英語 - 25p-J-12 2Mev/amu 重イオンによって高密度励起されたイオン結晶の誘導輻射と短寿命励起子間コンプレクス生成

TlBrの原材料精製、単結晶育成をすすめた。4Nグレードの原材料を帯域精製中心に純化し、TlBr単結晶を育成した。このTlBr単結晶から検出器を作製し、共同研究先である東北大学と共同して電荷キャリア輸送特性等の評価を進めた。
原材料精製、単結晶育成技術に各種改良を重ねた結果、電荷収集効率が大幅に改善した。精製や単結晶育成時の雰囲気に関する改良を段階的に進めると共に、帯域精製に関しては安定して300回の精製を行っている。単結晶育成も同様に信頼性のある炉の開発に成功した。世界的な半導体不足の影響を受け、装置開発が大分遅れたが、年度内に予定していた装置の改良は概ね完了した。
662keVγ線を使用した実験では全吸収ピークがまだ立っていないことから、欠陥低減に加え、電極作製方法等の改善を今後進める。特に加工方法に関してはこれまでのアプローチを肯定する成果を得られたものと判断している。また電荷捕獲トラップを検証するための光照射I-V測定装置の開発も概ね予定通り進んでいる。直径0.5"のTlBr単結晶が安定して合成可能となったことから、今後の各種実験の進展も期待できる。
今後は5Nグレードの原材料の使用なども予定しており、従来行ってきた欠陥低減や電極に関する実験を積極的に進め、実用的なTlBr半導体検出器の実現を目指す。さらに安定して測定が可能となったカソードルミネッセンス法に加え、光I-V測定により捕獲準位の定量的な研究に切り込んでいく。

本研究では陽電子放出断層撮影(positron emission tomography, PET)装置の高度化を実現するガンマ線検出器を開発することを目的としている。本研究ではガンマ線のエネルギー情報と位置情報を電気信号から取得し、時間情報を光信号から取得する光子・電子ハイブリッド検出器の開発を目指している。
当該年度は電気的特性に優れた臭化タリウム(TlBr)と光透過率に優れた塩化タリウム(TlCl)の混晶を育成しガンマ線検出器を製作した。
TlBr素材とTlCl素材を石英管へ封入して溶融することによりTlBr-TlCl混晶素材を得た。良好な電気的特性と光透過率を得るためにTlBr-TlCl混晶素材の純化を帯域精製法を用いて行った。純化後に帯溶融を一回行うことにより結晶育成を行った。実験の結果、光透過率が高いTlBr-TlCl混晶を得ることに成功した。
育成したTlBr-TlCl混晶をダイヤモンドワイヤーソーを用いて切り出し、結晶表面を機械研磨した。結晶の対向する面に、陰極として平板電極を、また、陽極としてガード電極に囲まれたピクセル電極一つを真空蒸着法を用いて形成した。各電極に金線を接続しガンマ線検出器とした。PETで利用される511 keVのガンマ線を放出する22Na放射線源を用いて開発した検出器の評価を室温で行った。製作した検出器は511 keVのガンマ線のピークを明確に検出し、PET用検出器として有望である事が確認できた。
当該年度は光透過率が高いTlBr-TlCl混晶の育成に成功し、良好に動作するTlBr-TlClガンマ線検出器の製作に成功した。これらの成果はPET用の光子・電子ハイブリッド検出器の実現に大きく貢献するものである。

高強度化・高輝度加速器ビームを利用した実験に使用可能な耐環境性能(放射線耐性を含む)・高速応答・高位置分解能を兼ね備えたダイヤモンド半導体測定装置実用化のための技術基盤を確立し、従来の装置性能を大きく向上させることを目的とし研究を行った。
その結果、従来の半導体検出器と同じ性能を持ちつつ耐環境性能に優れたダイヤモンドを用いた半導体測定装置用センサー開発に成功した。更に100μm以下の位置分解能を達成するためのダイヤモンドセンサー製造の知見を蓄積しつつ、ダイヤモンド半導体測定装置用信号処理集積回路用技術開発では、開発したトランジスタが0.3MGy以上の放射線耐性を持つことを確認した。

近年、細胞内の遺伝子発現メカニズムや細胞周期といった個々の細胞特性の解明が求められている。本研究では、放射性同位核種をトレーサーとする細胞単位での核医学イメージング装置を開発した。具体的には、β線と150μm厚CsIシンチレータの相互作用で生まれた光をCMOSカメラで撮影した。さらに、CsIよりも密度と発光量が高く、潮解性の無いGPSについても検討した。シミュレーションの結果、シンチレータ厚による半値幅の変化は小さいものの、1/10 幅では厚くなるほど大きく広がり、低出力な成分が増えていくことが分かった。また、10μm厚の GPSであっても全体の9割程度の感度を持つことがわかった。

本研究では高速中性子によってダイヤモンド中に生成された空孔と微量な窒素をアニールによってNVセンター化することでアトミックスケールの中性子線量計測の実現可能性を実験的に検証した。試料はCVD法により作製した。照射前と比較し、中性子又は電子線照射後の試料はNVセンターの強い増加を示した。共焦点顕微鏡の測定範囲を超える発光強度だったことから、NVセンターの空間密度を定量化することはできなかった。NVセンターは試料の成長面側に集中して形成されており、合成終了時に窒素の取り込みが多かったことが推定される。線量計測を行うためには窒素が試料全体に均一に取り込まれる必要があるため、合成条件の探索が必要。

本研究では、ダイヤモンド表面へ金属イオンが吸着することに着目し、高レベル廃液に含まれている元素のうち主に希土類イオンについて吸着メカニズムの解明を目的とした。酸濃度に対する希土類イオンの吸着分配係数の依存性とその吸着容量、吸着等温線の解析を通して、希土類イオンはダイヤモンドに単層で単純吸着をするとともに、ダイヤモンド表面の吸着サイトに対し1:1の量論比でイオン結合性の吸着することを見出した。
XPS(X線光電子分光)やFT-IR、TRLFS(時間分解型レーザー誘起蛍光分光)などの解析からも上記のメカニズムが妥当であることを示唆する結果が得られた。

福島第一原子力発電所事故の結果発生した広域汚染により食料に対する安全・安心の確保が必要となった。小売店や直販農家などが自らの販売する食品の放射能を直接測定する安価な検出器の開発を行った。検出器はシンチレータを使用し、食品の自己遮蔽を最大限に活用する事で小型・軽量化を進めた。実験とシミュレーションにより、1.25x1.25x3.0cm3のCsIシンチレータを想定し、5kgの米を測定した場合、スクリーニングレベル50Bq/kgを達成するには22分かかることを明らかとした。また一般家庭での使用を想定した場合、100Bq/kg以下である事を確認するにはより短い時間で判断可能である事も明らかにした。

今年度は前年度良い結果の出たリフトオフ法を北海道大学に導入することを第一目標として研究を行った。Ib型基板を使用して連携研究先である産業技術研究所と同一の合成条件でCVD単結晶の合成を行った。合成した試料をリフトオフ法により自立膜化した。さらに化学処理ならびに電極製作を行い、検出器とした。製作した検出器に対してI-V測定、α線応答測定を行った。十分な印加電圧がかかり、α線に対して16%程度ではあるがピークの立つ応答を示す検出器の製作に成功した。今後、高品質基板を使用し、合成条件の最適化を進め実用的な人工ダイヤモンド放射線検出器の実現を目指す。
また合成した結晶中の電荷捕獲準位を同定するための積極的電荷捕獲を利用した光I-V測定法の改良をすすめ、ある程度信頼性のあるデータが取得できる状況に達した。

定在縞を持つ陽光柱プラズマという秩序状態に、外部から微粒子を導入することでコンプレックスプラズマとする。このプラズマにおける新たな秩序状態(プラズマクリスタル)形成過程を実測し、データ解析を行った。安定な結晶が生成される放電条件で放電させておき、直径10μmの微粒子を落下させると、プラズマ内で微粒子の浮遊が起こり、次いで"気体または液体状態"となり、落下後数十秒以内でプラズマクリスタル状態へ移行していくことを観測した。この新たな秩序の形成過程を評価するために、画像データから対相関関数(動径分布関数)を求めるアルゴリズムを開発した。

いままでの先端放射線医療に欠けていた医療機器と患者のinteractionを取り入れた放射線治療を可能にする。臓器の動き・腫瘍の照射による縮小・免疫反応などは、線量と時間に関して非線形であり、システムとしての癌・臓器の反応という概念を加えることが必要であることが示唆された。生体の相互作用を追求していく過程で、動体追跡技術は先端医療のみならず、基礎生命科学でも重要な役割を果たすことがわかった。

今年度は人工ダイヤモンド放射線検出器実現を目指し、CVD単結晶ダイヤモンド厚膜の合成と評価を行った。高圧高温合成Ib型基板を使用し、800度・1100度、80Torr・110Torrの4点でダイヤモンドを合成した。合成の主目的はダイヤモンドの{111}面の成長率と{100}面の成長率の比であるα値の把握である。α値によって結晶のモルフォロジーや不純物の取り込みに大きな違いが生じることが知られている。
合成したダイヤモンドのα値は1.6〜4.9に分布した。ラマン分光の結果、全ての試料でダイヤモンドのsp^3結合によるピークが観測された。800度で合成した試料についてはグラファイト成分、窒素と空孔のペアによるNV発光が観測された。また、これら二つの試料については、結晶表面上に平行電極を蒸着により製作し印加電圧をかけた状態でα線を入射させた。この結果、α線により生成した電荷キャリアのドリフトにより信号が出ることを確認した。
さらに、高品質なダイヤモンドの合成を目指し、800度、110Torr、メタン濃度1%での合成をおこなった。その結果、ラマン分光ではグラファイト、NV発光は観測されなかったが、多結晶体的な表面形態をもった結晶であり、α線測定については漏れ電流が大きく信号が出なかった。
今年度の研究の結果、α値3〜4の範囲を集中的にサーベイを行なう必要があるとの結論に至った。次年度以降は低メタン濃度における長時間合成を行なっていく。

パルス中性子を用いた中性子透過分光法によって得られる画像は、ピクセルごとに中性子断面積の情報を持っているため、これまでの中性子ラジオグラフィーと比べ、対象とするマテリアルの構造情報なども含んだ多くの情報を提供できる。特に、低エネルギー領域に現れるブラッグエッジは結晶構造を反映したものである。その位置のシフトによって歪みの大きさを評価することができる。本研究において屈曲させた鉄試料において、歪みの大きさを定量化できるとともに特定の結晶面で歪みが大きく現れることが明らかに示された。また、ブラッグエッジ付近の断面積の大きさの変化が、結晶粒の大きさと関係することを明らかにし、断面積の大きさと線形関係にあることを示した。さらに、鉄一鉄及びステンレスー鉄の溶接部付近の透過断面積は場所によって変化し、溶接部に近くなるに従って、鋭いブラッグエッジとなることが分った。このことは、結晶面の分布がより等方的になっていることを示唆している。一方、高エネルギー領域では、共鳴吸収を利用した画像が取得でき、元素分布測定や温度測定ができる可能性を示した。検出器素子開発として、Gdベースのシンチレータを用いた検出器を試作し画像を取得した。
このように、パルス中性子透過分光法では、単なる透過画像を取るだけの従来のラジオグラフィーと全く異なった、結晶構造、結晶粒の大きさなどマテリアルのテクスチュアに関係した内部情報を得ることができ、世界的にも注目されている。大型陽子加速器中性子源が稼働をはじめる時期でもあり、これからはより精密な測定が可能になる。この手法の全断面積情報に内包されているものを有効に利用して、より詳細なマテリアルキャラクタリゼーションができるよう、さらなる研究が望まれる。

振動する結晶からの中性子回折を二次元中性子検出器と飛行時間法を併用することで、中性子回折角度ならびに強度変化を測定した。
測定では3mm×120mm×14mmのXカット水晶を使用した。水晶はX軸方向に分極を起こすため、この軸に垂直なXカットの変位が最も大きい。結晶上に製作したAl電極に対して40Vの電圧を印加し、22.7kHzの固有振動モードで振動させた。顕微鏡で観察した最大変位量は約5μmであった。
中性子回折実験はJRR-3M、ULSにおいて4.7Åの中性子を使用して行なった。測定器として抵抗分割型光電子増倍管とZnS:Liシンチレータを組み合わせて使用した。結晶を22.7kHz、44μsの周期で振動させて中性子回折像を測定した。その結果、中性子強度分布が時間とともに変化する事を観測した。中性子強度分布は大きく2つの成分からなることが分かった。4.7Åの中性子の速度は約840m/sであり、半周期に当たる22μsで1.8cm進む。検出器を1.8cmもとの1位置からずらした場合、中性子強度変化の位相がπずれることを確認し、回折中性子が結晶の振動周波数と一致した周期性を持つことを確認した。
測定データに対して、二重ガウスフィッティングを行い、ピーク位置ならびに中性子強度変化の時間変化を導いた上で、理論モデルと比較した。ドップラー効果による変位量が変形による変位量より大きい場合、回折中性子強度の時間変化は正弦関数を折り返した形であられる。測定した中性子ピークはこの形になることを確認した。位置の時間変化に関しては、一つのピークに関しては理論計算と概ね一致したが、他方は予測と異なる結果となった。

本研究では二つのテーマについて研究を行った。一つ目のテーマである高品質単結晶ダイヤモンドの合成と評価では、超高純度原料をもちいた高圧高温合成単結晶ダイヤモンドの合成と評価を行い非ダイヤモンド原料を使った場合、結晶性に問題が生じる可能性があること、現状の技術ではHP/HT法によってエネルギースペクトロメータグレードの単結晶ダイヤモンドを造ることはペンディングとすべきであるものの、CVD単結晶合成用の基板としては極めて有望であることを明らかにした。また高品質CVD単結晶ダイヤモンドの合成と評価を行った結果、透明な大面積基板は歩留まりよく合成可能であるものの電気特性向上を狙った合成条件の探求が必要であることがわかった。
二つ目のテーマである電荷捕獲準位同定手法の開発では試料に対する電荷捕獲をあらかじめ行ったうえで、光電流測定を行い、捕獲準位のエネルギー同定を行う測定方法確立の目処を立てた。紫外線とWランプからの単色光を用いた不純物準位の評価技術の開発を行い、超高純度HP/HTダイヤモンド及びCVDダイヤモンドの計測を行った。外気導入による冷却によって試料温度を0℃付近まで下げることで熱雑音を1桁減らし、数100fAの電流計測を可能にした。この方法は従来に無い極めて優れた方法であり、高品質ダイヤモンド合成のために完成を目指すべき手法といえる。

本年度は積層型CVDダイヤモンド検出器の製造工程の改良を進めた。前年度、原子レベルで平滑なホウ素ドープ基板上に絶縁層を成長させて検出器を製作することを試みたが、異常成長の影響で満足な性能の検出器を作ることが出来なかった。そこで従来の方法に製作方法を戻して検出器の性能改善を試みた。その過程で積層したCVDダイヤモンド層がIb型基板結晶の表面状態の影響を大きく受けていることが分かった。そこで結晶研磨方法と成長するダイヤモンド層の相関関係に関する検討を行った。以前はダイヤモンドの異方性によって、比較的削りやすい方向に削られた基板上にダイヤモンドを成長させていたため、比較的結晶性の良いCVD単結晶が得られていたが、研磨メーカーがランダムな方向に結晶を研磨する手法に変更を行った結果、全く質の悪いCVDダイヤモンド層しかえられなくなっていることが分かった。そこで、研磨方法をより優れた方法に変更することによってこの問題を解決した。またあらたな構造としてわずかなホウ素不純物のみを含んだIIb型基板の上にCVD単結晶を成長して検出器として動作させることも試みた。また製作した検出器の特性評価を行う目的で整備した213nmUVパルスレーザーとα線をもちいた電荷キャリアの輸送特性評価システムを完成し、製作した検出器の特性評価を行った。評価では積層型CVDダイヤモンド放射線検出器のほかCVDダイヤモンド自立膜や高純度高圧高温合成単結晶の評価を行った。また検出器評価の一環として14MeV中性子に対する応答関数測定実験を行なった。

メタンハイドレートの中性子断面積の特性を知るために、中性子非弾性散乱実験を行い、そのデータ解析を進めた。メタン分子の回転は自由回転に近く、最低レベルを1.1meVとして自由回転モデルで計算することによって、上手く実験でのエネルギーレベルが再現できる。しかし、これだけでは散乱強度を全て説明できなかった。この原因としてメタンの氷格子中での並進運動が考えられ、4.4meVと7.4meVに大ケージと小ケージに対応すると思われるピークがあることが分かった。これらのピークは実験的に初めて明らかにされたものである。水分子の揺動運動については、メタンハイドレートと氷で、強度分布に少し差がみられた。しかし、全体としては、メタンハイドレートの断面積は、メタン単体の断面積と氷の断面積を足し合わせることによって近似出来ることが分かった。
メタンハイドレートの中性子エネルギースペクトルと放出時間分布の測定を、結合型と非結合型の減速材タイプについて行った。結合型減速材においてはスペクトルの形は、氷のものに近かった。ピークエネルギーは、メタンや水素が約3meVであるのに対して、約7meVと高くなっていた。そのため、熱中性子領域では強度が高いが、冷中性子領域ではかなり低くなっている。非結合型減速材においても、同様の結果が得られ、水素減速材やメタン減速材よりも特性は劣っていた。また、中性子放出時間は、他の減速材より広い分布を示しており、この観点からも劣ることが示された。この結果から、メタンハイドレートは、熱中性子から冷中性子までの広いエネルギー領域でスペクトル強度があまり変化しないという特徴を持つが、冷中性子領域では、強度がメタンや水素より劣る。これは、減速が良いメタンの効果があまり大きくなく、氷の特徴が主として表れたためと考えられる。この減速材を冷中性子源として使用するメリットはあまりないと考えられる。

今年度は前年度行なったGd金属箔の検出効率が思うように上がらなかったことから、Gd系シンチレータの薄膜化とMCPの組み合わせについて実験的に研究を進めた。Gd金属箔からの内部転換電子は1方向へのみ放出された分がMCPに入射可能となる。一方、Gd系シンチレータを使用した場合は、内部転換電子がシンチレータ内で光に変換されるため、光の取り出しを上手く行なうことで4π方向に出た内部転換電子を全て捉えることができる。この方法をもちいた場合、最大の問題となるのがMCPが直接γ線や中性子線と反応することである。この部分については北大ライナックならびに高エネルギー加速器研究機構KENSにおける実験を行い、MCPが直接反応した場合の信号の減衰時間(数ns)とシンチレータの減衰時間(数10ns)程度の違いをもちいて弁別できることを確認した。またシンチレータの薄膜化については、今後さらに進める必要があるものの、焼結手法によって中性子をほぼ100%捕獲し、γ線の影響を最低限に抑えられる30μmの厚さを得るめどを立てた。このシンチレータは焼結条件によって発光強度と透明度が変わることが分かっている。この部分については今後、合成条件の最適化をすすめる必要がある。本研究は今年度で終了するが、Gd系シンチレータとMCPを組み合わせることで、中性子イメージングを行なえる基礎的実証データを積み上げることに成功し、初期の目的を達成することが出来た。今後、さらに100μm以下の位置分解能をもち、残留応力測定等に使える中性子イメージング装置の開発につなげていく必要がある。
