Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present work, the matrix diffusion of Cs for saponite layered mineral is studied directly probing angstrom-scale pores by positronium annihilation spectroscopy. The diffusion coefficient of 2×10-7 [cm2s-1] is conventionally evaluated from the distance-dependent data of Cs concentration obtained by atomic absorption spectrometry, which corresponds to the diffusion constant trough open spaces with a wide variety of size. On the contrary, the distance-dependent data of Angstrom-scale open space probed by positronium revealed the matrix diffusion constant of 3×10-8 [cm2s-1], which is one order of magnitude lower than that of conventional diffusion.
