Lattice-structural, magnetic, and magnetoelectric (ME) properties have been investigated for single crystals of prototypical polar ferrimagnet ${\mathrm{Ga}}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{x}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ $(0.8\ensuremath{\leqslant}x\ensuremath{\leqslant}1.4)$ as melt-grown by a floating-zone (FZ) method. Magnetization measurements show that the saturated magnetization well ferrimagnetic phase transition temperature $({T}_{C})$ increases with increase $\mathrm{Fe}$ content $x$, while...
Structural and electronic properties have been investigated for a series of Re-based ordered double perovskites, ${A}_{2}M{\mathrm{ReO}}_{6}$ $(A$=Sr,Ca; $M$=Mg,Sc,Cr,Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Zn), which contain some prospective candidates the high-temperature half-metals future spin-electronic use. Neutron diffraction measurements revealed variation Re-O bond length with change its effective valence states depending on counter M ion, namely, ${\mathrm{Re}}^{6+}$- or ${\mathrm{Re}}^{5+}$-based insulating...
AMATERAS is a new disk-chopper-type spectrometer installed at Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) of J-PARC. equipped with an extra chopper for pulse shaping the upstream position, in addition to monochromating chopper, which conventional spectrometers pulsed source have. Owing use these choppers high peak intensity from coupled moderator MLF, design realizes high-intensity high-energy-resolution measurements quasielastic inelastic neutron scattering experiments. The had...
The energy-resolved neutron imaging system, RADEN, has been installed at the pulsed source in Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. In addition to conventional radiography tomography, world's first beam-line a source, provides three main options for new, quantitative techniques: Bragg-edge visualize spatial distribution crystallographic information, resonance absorption elemental composition temperature polarized magnetic field...
We observed the de Haas--van Alphen oscillation in heavy fermion compound ${\mathrm{CeIrIn}}_{5}.$ The topology of Fermi surface is found to be nearly cylindrical, reflecting unique tetragonal structure. Observed branches are well explained by 4f-itinerant band model. cyclotron masses $20--{30m}_{0}$ one order larger than corresponding masses.
The neutron instruments suite, installed at the spallation source of Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), is reviewed. MLF has 23 beam ports 21 are in operation for user programs or under commissioning. A unique challenging instrumental suite been realized via combination a high-performance source, optimized scattering, using cutting-edge technologies. All are/will serve world-leading investigations broad range fields,...
A new pulsed-neutron instrument, named the Energy-Resolved Neutron Imaging System "RADEN", has been constructed at beam line of BL22 in Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) J-PARC. The primary purpose this instrument is to perform energy-resolved neutron imaging experiments through effective utilization pulsed nature beam, making world's first dedicated experiments. RADEN was designed cover a broad energy range: from cold neutrons with down 1.05 meV (or wavelength up 8.8 Å)...
SENJU is a new single-crystal time-of-flight neutron diffractometer installed at BL18 the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility of Japan Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC).

Defect engineering to design for remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) in SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) is proposed. Cation vacancies coupled with substituents or oxide are shown play an essential role determining the properties. High-resolution neutron powder diffraction studies revealed that trivalent-cation (Bi, La, Nd) substitution induces Sr requirement of charge neutrality.
