  • A series of sitting-atop (SAT) complexes, [(ZrO)$H_2t(X)pp(NO_3)_2$], have been prepared via the reactions of free base meso-tetraarylporphyrins, $H_2$t(X)pp, with zirconyl nitrate hydrate, ZrO(N$O_3)_2{\cdot}xH_2$O. The products have been characterized by a variety of methods including $^1H\;NMR,\;^{13}C$ NMR, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopies, elemental analysis and conductance measurements. The data indicate that the meso-tetraarylporphyrins coordinate with two pyrrolenine nitrogen atoms to the zirconyl cation located above the distorted porphyrin plane and two protons remain on the pyrrole nitrogens. Such half sandwich-type sitting-atop complexes may be considered as models for the initial steps of the metallation of the macrocycles.

  • For the development of magneto rotational instability, which drives mass accretion in protoplanetary disks, sufficient ionization degree is needed. Cosmic rays are believed to be one of the dominant ionization sources for protoplanetary disk gas. In previous studies, ionization rates are computed by considering the effect of attenuation of the cosmic ray (CR) intensity as a function of column density in an unmagnetized cloud. However, in reality particles should sweep up larger column density to reach at the midplane of disk due to their gyromotion. In this study, we investigate the propagation of CR protons in a protoplanetary disk by solving transport and energy loss equations. We discuss the change in CR intensity due to magnetic field in a protoplanetary disk.

  • A procedure of $^3H$-radio labeling synthesis for the dammarane triterpene glycosides of Korean ginseng was established by using the ginsenoside $Rg_1$ as starting material. The protons in $C-{11}$ and $C_{13}$ of the aglycone moiety of the glycoside were exchanged with tritium by keto-enol tautomerization of 12-keto-ginsenoside $Rg_1$ which was prepared by partial acetylation, Sarett oxidation and saponification, producing nona-acetate, nonaside $Rg_1$. The acety1-ketone and 12-keto-derivative of ginsenotritated ketone was reduced by metallic sodium and isoproponol to produce the end product $^3H$-ginsenoside $Rg_1$ with 3% radio-chemical recovery in one experiment.

  • Charged particle energization is an outstanding problem in space physics. This paper investigates the nonlinear dynamics of Alfve'n-cyclotron waves accompanying particle heating processes and the drift Alfv'en-cyclotron (or EMIC) instability associated with a current disruption event on 29 January 2008 observed with THEMIS satellite by means of a particle-in-cell simulation. The simulation shows that the drift Alfv'en-cyclotron instabilities are excited in two regimes, a relatively low frequency mode propagating in a quasi-perpendicular direction while the second high-frequency branch propagating in a predominantly parallel propagation direction, which is consistent with observation as well as earlier theories. It is shown that parametric decay processes lead to an inverse cascade of Alfv'en-cyclotron waves and the generation of ion-acoustic waves by decay instability. It is also shown that the nonlinear decay processes are accompanied by small perpendicular heating and parallel cooling of the protons, and a pronounced parallel heating of the electrons.

  • Amorphous hydrous ruthenium oxide thin films have attracted much interest owing to the possibility of using this material in electrochemical supercapacitors. Recently, it was found that this material is also electrochromic: during the charging/discharging cycle, the optical transmittance of the thin film is modulated. The physical and chemical origin of this phenomenon is not fully understood yet. In this work, we performed in-situ Raman spectroscopy measurements on amorphous hydrous ruthenium oxide thin films during the charging/discharging cycles. Unambiguous changes in the Raman spectrum were observed as protons were injected or extracted from the thin film. When the samples were annealed to reduce the water content, there is a consistent trend in the Raman spectrum. The origins of the Raman features and their relation to the electrochromic and/or supercapacitor characteristics is discussed.

  • Shock waves form in the intergalactic medium as a consequence of accretion, merger, and turbulent motion during the structure formation of the universe. They not only heat gas but also govern non-thermal processes through the acceleration of cosmic rays (CRs), production of magnetic fields, and generation of vorticity. We examine diffusive shock acceleration of the pre-existing as well as freshly injected populations of nonthermal, CR particles at weak cosmological shocks. Since the injection is extremely inefficient at weak shocks, the pre-existing CR population dominates over the injected population. If the pressure due to pre-existing CR protons is about 5 % of the gas thermal pressure in the upstream flow, the downstream CR pressure can absorb typically a few to 10 % of the shock ram pressure at shocks with the Mach number M<3. Yet, the re-acceleration of CR electrons can result in a substantial synchrotron emission behind the shock. The implication of our findings for observed bright radio relics is discussed.

  • The microscopic dynamics of $CsH_2PO_4$, with two distinct hydrogen bond lengths, are studied by static nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR. The proton dynamics of the two crystallographically inequivalent hydrogen sites were discussed in terms of the $^1H$ NMR and $^1H$ MAS NMR spectra. Although the hydrogen bonds have two inequivalent sites, H(1) and H(2), distinct proton dynamics for the two sites were not found. Further, the $^{133}Cs$ spectrum is more or less continuous near $T_{C1}$ (=153 K). Finally, the phase transition mechanism of $T_{C1}$ in $CsH_2PO_4$ is related to the ordering of protons.

  • Basic research on the accelerator-driven system is conducted by combining $^{235}U$-fueled and $^{232}Th$-loaded cores in the Kyoto University Critical Assembly with the pulsed neutron generator (14 MeV neutrons) and the proton beam accelerator (100 MeV protons with a heavy metal target). The results of experimental subcriticality are presented with a wide range of subcriticality level between near critical and 10,000 pcm, as obtained by the pulsed neutron source method, the Feynman-${\alpha}$ method, and the neutron source multiplication method.

  • Three typical solvent suppression methods employed for measuring the NOE data that are used for structure determination of polypeptides by modeling were discussed and compared with one another. In the experiments with several peptides composed of 10 to 65 amino acids the presaturation method was found to give severely distorted signal intensities of exchangeable protons, thus making the results based on this method much less reliable.

  • Electrical properties of electrochromic (EC) InN thin films prepared by rf ion plating were studied. There was a correlation between the electrical properties and the electrochromism in the InN films, particularly, carrier concentration changes were responsible for the electrical resistivity changes of the films due to the electrochromism. These carrier concentration changes were caused by chemisorbed hydroxyl groups and protons. From these results, it was proved that the carrier concentration changes of the InN films was responsible for the electrochromism in the visible and near-infrared region.
