Adhesion of proton beam written high aspect ratio hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) nanostructures on different metallic substrates

Hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) behaves as a negative resist under MeV proton beam exposure. HSQ is a high-resolution resist suitable for production of tall (<1.5 μm) high aspect ratio nanostructures with dimensions down to 22 nm. High aspect ratio HSQ structures can be used in many applications, e.g. nanofluidics, biomedical research, etc. Isolated HSQ nanostructures, however, tend to detach from substrates during the development process due to the weak adhesive forces between the resist and the substrate material. Larger proton fluences were observed to promote the adhesion. To determine an optimal substrate material and the proton irradiation doses for HSQ structures, a series of 2 μm long and 60-600 nm wide free-standing lines were written with varying fluences of 2 MeV protons in 1.2 μm thick HSQ resist spun on Ti/Si, Cr/Si and Au/Cr/Si substrates. The results indicate that the Ti/Si substrate is superior in terms of adhesion, while Au/Si is the worst. Cr/Si is not suitable as a substrate for HSQ resist because debris was formed around the structures, presumably due to a chemical reaction between the resist and Cr.     

Soft error rate analysis based on multiple sensitive volume model using PHITS

Secondary cosmic-ray neutron-induced soft errors in an n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor are analyzed based on the multiple sensitive volume (MSV) model using Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS). The soft error rates (SERs) and the collected charge for each single event are compared with those obtained by PHits-HYenexss integrated code System for Effects of Radiation on Device (PHYSERD) based on the detailed technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation and by the single sensitive volume (SSV) model using PHITS. It is found that PHITS+MSV provides approximate SERs in a shorter time than PHYSERD by estimating collected charges without event-by-event TCAD simulation. Furthermore, PHITS+MSV reproduces collected charge for each single event more accurately than PHITS+SSV by considering spatial dependence of the charge collection efficiencies. Therefore, PHITS+MSV is the most suitable to estimate SERs in practical design of semiconductor devices which require high accuracy and a short computational time.     

Estimation of sensitivity coefficient based on lasso-type penalized linear regression

We proposed the penalized regression ‘adaptive smooth-lasso’ for the estimation of sensitivity coefficients of the neutronics parameters. The proposed method utilizes the variation of the microscopic cross-sections and the neutronics parameters obtained by random sampling. The weighted penalty term of the proposed method is more appropriate for the estimation of the sensitivity of neutronics parameters to the microscopic cross-section than that of the conventional methods. In a numerical verification calculation, sensitivity coefficients of k_eff of an accelerator-driven system are estimated using the proposed method, the conventional penalized regression, and the direct method. Comparison of these results indicates that the proposed method is superior to the conventional penalized linear regression from the viewpoint of reproduction of the reference sensitivity coefficients obtained by the direct method. Through the verification calculations, the proposed method can be a candidate for a practical method to estimate the sensitivity coefficients with low calculation cost.     

Influence of magnetic filter field on the radio-frequency negative hydrogen ion source of neutral beam injector for China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor

In the design of negative hydrogen ion sources,a magnetic filter field of tens of Gauss at the expansion region is essential to reduce the electron temperature,which usually results in a magnetic field of around 10 Gauss in the driver region,destabilizing the discharge.The magnetic shield technique is proposed in this work to reduce the magnetic field in the driver region and improve the discharge characteristics.In this paper,a three-dimensional fluid model is developed within COMSOL to study the influence of the magnetic shield on the generation and transport of plasmas in the negative hydrogen ion source.It is found that when the magnetic shield material is applied at the interface of the expansion region and the driver region,the electron density can be effectively increased.For instance,the maximum of the electron density is 6.7×1017 m-3 in the case without the magnetic shield,and the value increases to 9.4×1017 m-3 when the magnetic shield is introduced.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS) is a useful technique for accurate sorting of metal scrap by chemical composition analysis.In this work,a method for intensity-ratiobased LIBS classification of stainless steel applicable to highly fluctuating LIBS signal conditions is proposed.The spectral line pairs for intensity ratio calculation are selected according to elemental concentration and upper levels of emission lines.It is demonstrated that the classification accuracy can be significantly improved from that of full-spectra principal component analysis or intensity-based analysis.The proposed method is considered to be suited to an industrial scrap sorting system that requires minimal maintenance and low system price.     

Generalized formulation of extended cross-section adjustment method based on minimum variance unbiased linear estimation

ABSTRACT

By introducing a new assumption of linear estimation, we derive a new formulation of the extended cross-section adjustment (EA) method, which minimizes the variance of the design target core parameters. The new formulation is derived on the basis of minimum variance unbiased estimation with no use of the assumption of normal distribution. In this formulation, we found that EA has infinitely many solutions as the adjusted cross-section set. The new formulation of EA can represent all the possible solutions minimizing the variance of the design target core parameters and includes a special case identical to the classical Bayesian EA method, which was derived on the basis of the Bayes theorem under the assumption of normal distribution. Moreover, we prove that the special case minimizes not only the variance of the design target core parameters but also the variance of the nuclear data. Meanwhile, we show that the new assumption of linear estimation is consistent with the Kalman filter and demonstrate that we can formulate similarly the extended bias factor method, the conventional cross-section adjustment method, and the regressive cross-section adjustment method with no use of the assumption of normal distribution.     

Application of the multigrid amplitude function method for time-dependent MOC based on the linear source approximation

ABSTRACT

An efficient numerical scheme for time-dependent MOC calculations is proposed. In the present scheme, one of the most successful factorization method, the multigrid amplitude function (MAF) method, is employed to achieve faster computation with the minimum degradation for the temporal integration of the scalar flux. In addition, the MAF method is re-derived based on the linear source approximation, which is not applied for time-dependent MOC calculations in the past studies as far as the authors’ knowledge, to reduce the spatial discretization error with the coarser flux region separation. The accuracy and computational time of the present scheme are evaluated through the calculation of the TWIGL and the C5G7-TD 2D benchmark problems. The present calculation results show that the present scheme is 6.2 times faster than the conventional method while achieving the same accuracy in the C5G7-TD benchmark problem.     

Development of regional downscaling capability in STEAMER ocean prediction system based on multi-nested ROMS model

Oceanic regional downscaling capability was implemented into Short-Term Emergency Assessment system of Marine Environmental Radioactivity (STEAMER) developed by Japan Atomic Energy Agency to enable us to predict more realistically the oceanic dispersion of radionuclides at higher spatiotemporal resolutions for broader applications. The system consisted of a double-nested oceanic downscaling circulation model with tidal forcing and an oceanic radionuclide dispersion model. This system was used to comparatively examine downscaling and tidal effects on the dispersion of radionuclides hypothetically released from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in the colder season. The simulated dissolved ¹³⁷Cs distribution was different from that obtained using coarser-resolution models because downscaling enhanced both horizontal and vertical mixing. The suppression of horizontal mixing and the promotion of vertical mixing by tidal forcing synergistically reduced offshore ¹³⁷Cs transport. In addition, the submesoscale effects strengthened the three-dimensional ¹³⁷Cs fluctuations by <10 times, while the tidal effects promoted slightly increased the intensity of three-dimensional ¹³⁷Cs fluctuations by approximately 3%. This indicated that the submesoscale effects substantially surpassed tidal forcing in oceanic mixing in the coastal margin off Fukushima in the colder season.

Development of a Laboratory Cement Quality Analysis Apparatus Based on Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Determination of the chemical composition of cement and ratio values of clinker plays an important role in cement plants as part of the optimal process control and product quality evaluation. In the present paper, a laboratory laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) apparatus mainly comprising a sealed optical module and an analysis chamber has been designed for possible application in cement plants for on-site quality analysis of cement. Emphasis is placed on the structure and operation of the LIBS apparatus, the sealed optical path, the temperature controlled spectrometer, the sample holder, the proper calibration model established for minimizing the matrix effects, and a correction method proposed for overcoming the ‘drift’ obstacle. Good agreement has been found between the laboratory measurement results from the LIBS method and those from the traditional method. The absolute measurement errors presented here for oxides analysis are within 0.5%, while those of ratio values are in the range of 0.02 to 0.05. According to the obtained results, this laboratory LIBS apparatus is capable of performing reliable and accurate, composition and proximate analysis of cement and is suitable for application in cement plants.
