- ItemThe effects of temperature and moulting on metal concentrations in decapod crustaceans(Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, 2019-09-03) Hill, D; Cresswell, T; Seery, C; Taylor, J; Mahoney, PThe predicated rise in sea surface temperature due to climate change may affect the uptake and depuration of contaminants by crustaceans, affecting their survival and reproductive success. Decapod crustaceans are routinely used as bioindicators in environmental research as they are commonly found in aquatic environments, have an omnivorous diet and an important position in food webs. They may also be exposed to a wide range of contaminants present in aquatic ecosystems from urban and industrial processes. Both ambient temperature and moulting of the exoskeleton are known to influence contaminant regulation in these taxa. This study used the radiotracers 109Cd, 54Mn and 65Zn to investigate the internal concentrations of these metals in three ambient temperature treatments, 21 ˚C, 23 ˚C and 25 ˚C, based on predicted increases in sea surface temperatures for Australia. Spotted shore crabs (Paragrapsus laevis) were exposed to two pulses of a mixed radiotracer solution, each followed by a depuration stage of five days. We found no significant effect of ambient temperature on uptake or depuration rates of the three metals. However, across temperatures the rate of uptake was significantly higher than that of depuration for 54Mn and 65Zn. Of 21 crabs, 15 moulted throughout the study and no significant difference was found in the amount of metal taken up pre and post-moult. However, there was a significant difference in whole-body metal burden between non-moulted crabs and moulted crabs immediately after moult. It was determined there was no significant difference in internal metal concentrations of 109Cd, 54Mn and 65Zn over the elevated sea surface temperatures predicted by climate change models and that moulting only significantly affected depuration of the metals.

The ESS neutron source consists of a high-power accelerator and target station, providing a unique long-pulse time structure of slow neutrons. The design considerations behind the time structure, moderator geometry and instrument layout are presented. The 15-instrument suite consists of two small-angle instruments, two reflectometers, an imaging beamline, two single-crystal diffractometers; one for macromolecular crystallography and one for magnetism, two powder diffractometers, and an engineering diffractometer, as well as an array of five inelastic instruments comprising two chopper spectrometers, an inverse-geometry single-crystal excitations spectrometer, an instrument for vibrational spectroscopy and a high-resolution backscattering spectrometer. The conceptual design, performance and scientific drivers of each of these instruments are described. All of the instruments are designed to provide breakthrough new scientific capability, not currently available at existing facilities, building on the inherent strengths of the ESS long-pulse neutron source of high flux, flexible resolution and large bandwidth. Each of them is predicted to provide world-leading performance at an accelerator power of 2 MW. This technical capability translates into a very broad range of scientific capabilities. The composition of the instrument suite has been chosen to maximise the breadth and depth of the scientific impact of the early years of the ESS, and provide a solid base for completion and further expansion of the facility. © 2020 The Authors.

- ItemNeutron scattering study in breathing pyrochlore antiferromagnet Ba3Yb2Zn5O11(International Conference on Neutron Scattering, 2017-07-12) Masuda, T; Haku, T; Soda, M; Sera, M; Kimura, K; Taylor, J; Itoh, S; Yokoo, T; Matsumoto, Y; Yu, DH; Mole, RA; Takeuchi, T; Nakatsuji, S; Kohno, Y; Sakakibara, T; Chang, LJComprehensive study on breathing pyrochlore antiferromagnet Ba3Yb2Zn5O11 [1] is presented. To identify the energy scheme of crystalline electric field (CEF), we performed inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurement in high energy range. The observed dispersionless excitations are explained by a CEF Hamiltonian of Kramers ion Yb3+ of which the local symmetry exhibits C3v point group symmetry. The magnetic susceptibility is consistently reproduced by the energy scheme of the CEF excitations. To identify the spin Hamiltonian we performed INS experiment in low energy range and thermodynamic property measurements at low temperatures. The INS spectra are quantitatively explained by spin-1/2 single-tetrahedron model having XXZ anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. This model has a two-fold degeneracy of the lowest-energy state per tetrahedron and well reproduces the magnetization curveat 0.5 K and heat capacity above 1.5 K. At lower temperatures, however, we observe a broad maximum in the heat capacity around 63 mK, demonstrating that a unique quantum ground state is selected due to extra perturbations with energy scale smaller than the instrumental resolution of INS. Possible mechanisms for the ground state selection are discussed [2].
