Novel Materials Design Approach Achieves a Giant Cooling Effect and Excellent Durability in Magnetic Refrigeration Materials
A joint research team from NIMS, Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT), Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI), University of Hyogo, Tohoku University, and the Technical University of Darmstadt, developed a novel materials design approach that achieves a giant cooling effect and excellent durability in magnetic cooling materials whose temperature changes when a magnetic field is switched on and off.
New Synchrotron Radiation Experimental Database to Support Fuel Cell Material Development – Accelerating Data-Driven Materials Research with High-Quality Data Management –
In a collaborative effort between JASRI, FC-Cubic and Kyoto University, a new database platform called FC-BENTEN has been developed to systematically collect and manage synchrotron radiation experimental data for fuel cell material research conducted at the SPring-8 facility.
Direct Observation of a Glass Hardening Process —Crystal Nucleation Model Developed Based on Multiscale Structural Analysis Using Synchrotron X-Ray Radiation—
A research team consisting of NIMS, AGC Inc., and JASRI has succeeded in observing partial crystallization of a glass—an initial stage in its transformation into a stronger, more heat resistant glass-ceramic.
How to Acquire Highly Accurate Data at SPring-8-II: Quantifying the Relationship between Bunch-Modes and Photon-Counting Detectors
Evaluated the effective maximum count rate of photon-counting 2D detectors for various bunch-modes (timing type of synchrotron X-ray pulses) at SPring-8 through simulations. As a result, they were able to quantitatively clarify the maximum count rate of photon-counting 2D detectors for each bunch-mode.
Producing very bright sub-micrometer beams of high-energy X-rays
– Observation of microareas inside thick metal samples has become possible –
Developed multilayer focusing mirrors (reflecting mirrors) that focus high-energy X-rays of 100 keV into a sub-micrometer range at the BL05XU beamline of a large synchrotron radiation facility, SPring-8.
A new technique for exclusive visualization of platinum particles in catalysts used in fuel cells
Albert Mufundirwa and other members of researchers at the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Center, in collaboration with Masazumi Arao and other members of researchers of FC-Cubic, have developed a method to visualize only platinum particles in carbon-supported platinum catalysts used in polymer electrolyte fuel cells.
Incorporating reaction kinetics into Bayesian inference － Advanced analysis of dynamics for practical applications of functional materials －
