  • Development of Nano-sized Graphene Flowers as Neutron Reflectors -Intensify neutron beam caused by coherent scattering-
    Makoto Teshigawara; Yujiro Ikeda; Kazuo Muramatsu; Koichi Sutani; Koichi Kimijima; Masafumi Fukuzumi; Yohei Noda; Satoshi Koizumi; Yuji Kawamura; Koichi Saruta; Yoshie Otake, The nano-sized graphene with a petal and seed-like structure, may induce neutron coherent scattering. We have studied a possible effect according to which the increase of the number of graphene seed-like structures produces an enhancement of the coherent scattering. To evaluate this, we focused on Raman spectra that characterize the stacking structure, crystal irregularities, and defects promoted by graphene growth. By focusing this information, we tried to find parameters related to the nano-sized structure of graphene, and explored whether they can be related to the coherent scattering. As a result, it is suggested that the increase of the G/D ratio and the decrease of the G/2D ratio in the Raman spectra correlate strongly with the increase of the coherent scattering., Canadian Science Publishing

  • Development of Nano-sized Graphene Flowers as Neutron Reflectors - Structural Control of Nano-sized Graphene and Application as Neutron Reflectors -

Graphene, which has a sp2 carbon crystal structure, has a larger van der Waals force compared to sp3 carbon crystal structure such as nano-diamonds. Additionally, the bonding force between carbon atoms in graphene is strong, which makes it easier to mold into a large block and plate and to adapt to higher radiation fields. However, graphene is easily to cause aggregation due to its large van der Waals force, making it difficult to form a nano-sized three-dimensional structure. To address this problem, we focused on the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) method, which uses resin powder as the raw material and produces vapor-phase grown graphene through HIP treatment. We have reported a method for producing free-standing, three-dimensional graphene called “graphene flower” made of nano-sized graphene and a method for controlling the nano-size of graphene. Additionally, we presented a prototype of a graphene neutron reflector and measured the coherent scattering of neutrons by graphene for the first time. In this paper, we will report on the optimization of the graphene manufacturing method using the HIP process to improve the coherent scattering performance of neutrons., Canadian Science Publishing

  • Development of nanosized graphene material for neutron intensity enhancement below cold neutron energy
    Makoto Teshigawara; Yujiro Ikeda; Kazuo Muramatsu; Koichi Sutani; Masafumi Fukuzumi; Yohei Noda; Satoshi Koizumi; Koichi Saruta; Yoshie Otake, We have been developing nanosized graphene, called graphene flower, as a material that induces coherent scattering very cold neutrons. Previous experiments have found that the seed part of the graphene flower is more effective than the petal part in increasing the coherent scattering. Based on these results, we found that further modification of the graphene flower to increase the seed portion increased the total cross-section, although it did not reach the level of nanodiamonds., SAGE Publications

  • Water distribution in human hair microstructure elucidated by spin contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering
    Yohei Noda; Satoshi Koizumi; Tomoki Maeda; Takumi Inada; Aya Ishihara, Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is effective for controlling the neutron scattering length of protons and can be utilized for contrast variation in small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Using the TEMPOL solution soaking method as electron spin doping, the DNP–SANS technique was applied to human hair fiber for the first time. For dry and D2O-swollen hair samples, a drastic change in the SANS profile was observed at high polarization conditions (|P H P N| ∼ 60%, where P H and P N are the proton and neutron spin polarization, respectively). The SANS profile as a function of the magnitude of the scattering vector, q, was composed of a low-q upturn, a middle-q oscillation and a high-q flat region. The low-q upturn was assumed to be a combination of two power-law functions, q −4 due to a large structure interface (Porod's law) and q −2 due to random coil. The middle-q oscillation was well reproduced by numerical calculation based on the structure model of intermediate filaments (IFs) as proposed by Er Rafik et al. [Biophys. J. (2004), 86, 3893–3904]: one pair of keratin coiled-coils is located at the center and surrounded by seven pairs of keratin coiled-coils located in a circle (called the `7 + 1' model), and a collection of IFs is arranged in a quasi-hexagonal manner. For the observed SANS profiles for different P H P N, the IF term contribution maintained a constant q-dependent profile, despite significant changes in intensity. This indicates that the macrofibril is composed of two domains (keratin coiled-coils and matrix). In addition, D2O swelling enhanced the IF term intensity and shifted the polarization-dependent local minimum to higher P H P N. This behavior was reproduced by contrast factor calculation based on the two-domain model. Scattering length densities of keratin coiled-coil and surrounding matrix domains were calculated by use of the known amino acid composition, considering the hydrogen–deuterium exchange reaction during soaking with D2O solution of TEMPOL. As a result, it was found that for keratin coiled-coil domains, about 40% of the peptide backbone amide NH protons were replaced with deuterons. This means that 68% of the α-helix domain is rigid, but the rest is flexible to allow dynamic dissociation of the hydrogen bond. Furthermore, the local mass density of each domain was precisely evaluated. The obtained data are expected to be a guide for further detailed investigation of keratin and keratin-associated protein distribution. This approach is expected to be applied to a wide variety of bio-derived materials, which are water absorbing in general., International Union of Crystallography (IUCr)

  • Microscopic Depictions of Vanishing Shampoo Foam Examined by Time-of-Flight Small-Angle Neutron Scattering
    Satoshi Koizumi; Yohei Noda; Takumi Inada; Tomoki Maeda; Shiho Yada; Tomokazu Yoshimura; Hiroshi Shimosegawa; Hiroya Fujita; Munehiro Yamada; Yukako Matsue, A novel surfactant of N–dodecanoyl–N–(2-hydroxyethyl)–β–alanine (coded as C12–EtOH–βAla) was synthesized by modifying the methyl group of N–dodecanoyl–N–methyl–β–alanine (coded as C12–Me–βAla). Amino-acid-type surfactants (C12–EtOH–βAla and C12–Me–βAla) are more healthy and environmentally friendly compared to sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). To investigate the microstructures of these new surfactants, we employed a method of time-of-flight small-angle neutron scattering (TOF SANS) at a pulsed neutron source, Tokai Japan (J–PARC). The advances in TOF SANS enable simultaneous multiscale observations without changing the detector positions, which is usually necessary for SANS at the reactor or small-angle X-ray scattering. We performed in situ and real-time observations of microstructures of collapsing shampoo foam covering over a wide range of length scales from 100 to 0.1 nm. After starting an air pump, we obtained time-resolved SANS from smaller wave number, small-angle scattering attributed to (1) a single bimolecular layer with a disk shape, (2) micelles in a bimolecular layer, and (3) incoherent scattering due to the hydrogen atoms of surfactants. The micelle in the foam film was the same size as the micelle found in the solution before foaming. The film thickness (~27 nm) was stable for a long time (<3600 s), and we simultaneously found a Newton black film of 6 nm thickness at a long time limit (~1000 s). The incoherent scattering obtained with different contrasts using protonated and deuterated water was crucial to determining the water content in the foam film, which was about 10~5 wt%., MDPI AG

  • A long side chain imidazolium-based graft-type anion-exchange membrane: novel electrolyte and alkaline-durable properties and structural elucidation using SANS contrast variation.
    Yue Zhao; Kimio Yoshimura; Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Mahmoud; Hwan-Chul Yu; Shun Okushima; Akihiro Hiroki; Yoshihiro Kishiyama; Hideyuki Shishitani; Susumu Yamaguchi; Hirohisa Tanaka; Yohei Noda; Satoshi Koizumi; Aurel Radulescu; Yasunari Maekawa, Newly designed styrylimidazolium-based grafted anion-exchange membranes (StIm-AEMs), in which imidazolium ionic groups are attached to styrene at the far side from the graft chains, were prepared by radiation-induced graft polymerization of p-(2-imidazoliumyl) styrene onto poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoloethylene) (ETFE) films, followed by N-alkylation and ion-exchange reactions. StIm-AEM having an ion exchange capacity (IEC) of 0.54 mmol g-1 with a grafting degree (GD) of ∼18%, possesses practical conductivity (>50 mS cm-1) even with a very low water uptake (∼10%) and high stability over 600 h in a 1 M KOH solution at 80 °C. There exists a critical IEC (IECc) in the range of 0.7-0.8 mmol g-1 over which the membrane showed high water uptake, which resulted in pronounced susceptibility to hydrolysis. Using small-angle neutron scattering technique with a contrast variation method, we found the hydrophilic phase in StIm-AEMs with IECs lower and higher than IECc shows "reverse-micelles" with water domains dispersed in the polymer matrix and "micelles" with graft polymer aggregates dispersed in the water matrix, respectively. The further analysis of micelle structures using the hard-sphere liquid model and Porod limit analysis reveals that the interfacial structures of ionic groups are essential for the electrochemical properties and durability of StIm-AEMs. In addition, StIm-AEM with an IEC of 0.95 mmol g-1 and the maximum power density of 80 mW cm-2 in the hydrazine hydrate fuel cell test, exhibited long-term durability under constant current (8.0 mA) up to 455 h, which, thus far, is the best durability at 80 °C for platinum-free alkaline-type liquid fuel cells.

  • Contrast variation by dynamic nuclear polarization and time-of-flight small-angle neutron scattering. I. Application to industrial multi-component nanocomposites
    Yohei Noda; Satoshi Koizumi; Tomomi Masui; Ryo Mashita; Hiroyuki Kishimoto; Daisuke Yamaguchi; Takayuki Kumada; Shin-ichi Takata; Kazuki Ohishi; Jun-ichi Suzuki, Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) at low temperature (1.2 K) and high magnetic field (3.3 T) was applied to a contrast variation study in small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) focusing on industrial rubber materials. By varying the scattering contrast by DNP, time-of-flight SANS profiles were obtained at the pulsed neutron source of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The concentration of a small organic molecule, (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-yl)oxy (TEMPO), was carefully controlled by a doping method using vapour sorption into the rubber specimens. With the assistance of microwave irradiation (94 GHz), almost full polarization of the paramagnetic electronic spin of TEMPO was transferred to the spin state of hydrogen (protons) in the rubber materials to obtain a high proton spin polarization (P H). The following samples were prepared: (i) a binary mixture of styrene–butadiene random copolymer (SBR) with silica particles (SBR/SP); and (ii) a ternary mixture of SBR with silica and carbon black particles (SBR/SP/CP). For the binary mixture (SBR/SP), the intensity of SANS significantly increased or decreased while keeping its q dependence for P H = −35% or P H = 40%, respectively. The q behaviour of SANS for the SBR/SP mixture can be reproduced using the form factor of a spherical particle. The intensity at low q (∼0.01 Å−1) varied as a quadratic function of P H and indicated a minimum value at P H = 30%, which can be explained by the scattering contrast between SP and SBR. The scattering intensity at high q (∼0.3 Å−1) decreased with increasing P H, which is attributed to the incoherent scattering from hydrogen. For the ternary mixture (SBR/SP/CP), the q behaviour of SANS was varied by changing P H. At P H = −35%, the scattering maxima originating from the form factor of SP prevailed, whereas at P H = 29% and P H = 38%, the scattering maxima disappeared. After decomposition of the total SANS according to inverse matrix calculations, the partial scattering functions were obtained. The partial scattering function obtained for SP was well reproduced by a spherical form factor and matched the SANS profile for the SBR/SP mixture. The partial scattering function for CP exhibited surface fractal behaviour according to q −3.6, which is consistent with the results for the SBR/CP mixture., International Union of Crystallography (IUCr)

  • Hierarchical structure in microbial cellulose: what happens during the drying process.
    Yue Zhao; Satoshi Koizumi; Daisuke Yamaguchi; Tetsuo Kondo, We present a time-resolved investigation of the natural drying process of microbial cellulose (MC) by means of simultaneous small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), intermediate-angle neutron scattering (IANS) and weighing techniques. SANS was used to elucidate the microscopic structure of the MC sample. The coherent scattering length density of the water penetrating amorphous domains varied with time during the drying process to give a tunable scattering contrast to the water-resistant cellulose crystallites, thus the contrast variation was automatically performed by simply drying. IANS and weighing techniques were used to follow the macroscopic structural changes of the sample, i.e., the composition variation and the loss of the water. Thus, both the structure and composition changes during the whole drying process were resolved. In particular, the quantitative crosscheck of composition variation by IANS and weighing provides a full description of the drying process. Our results show that: i) The natural drying process could be divided into three time regions: a 3-dimensional shrinkage in region I, a 1-dimensional shrinkage along the thickness of the sample in region II, and completion in region III; ii) the further crystallization and aggregation of the cellulose fibrils are observed in both the rapid drying and natural drying methods, and the rapid drying even induces obvious structural changes in the length scale of 7-125 nm; iii) the amount of "bound water", which is an extremely thin layer of water surrounding the surfaces of cellulose fibrils, was estimated to be ∼ 0.35 wt% by the weighing measurement and was verified by the quantitative analysis of SANS results.

  • Mesoscale spatial distribution of electron spins studied by time-resolved small-angle and ultrasmall-angle neutron scattering with dynamic nuclear polarization: a case of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO) doped in high-density polyethylene.
    Takayuki Kumada; Yohei Noda; Satoshi Koizumi; Takeji Hashimoto, We carried out time-resolved small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and ultrasmall-angle neutron scattering (USANS) studies of dynamically polarized high-density polyethylene (HDPE) doped with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO) persistent free radicals. We observed a remarkable enhancement of the scattering intensity shortly after a switching of microwave frequency from positive (negative) to negative (positive) dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). The enhancement was found to be due to spatially heterogeneous proton-spin polarization generated as a result of heterogeneously distributed TEMPO in the HDPE sample. The spatial fluctuation of the polarization ranged up to the length-scale of > or = 100 nm. This result strongly suggests that the TEMPO free radicals are localized more in nonfibrils but less in fibrils of HDPE. In this way, we propose that the time-resolved DNP-SANS and DNP-USANS be general techniques to determine mesoscale spatial distribution of electron spins in dielectric materials.
