NaRe$_2$(PO$_4$)$_3$ phosphate-based ceramic with kosnarite structure as a matrix for technetium immobilization. Production. Properties

NaRe$_2$(PO$_4$)$_3$ phosphate-based ceramic with the structure of kosnarite mineral was obtained by spark plasma sintering. Rhenium (Re) served as a chemical and structural analog of technetium. The ceramic relative density was 85%. The mechanism of Re static leaching from NaRe$_2$(PO$_4$)$_3$ ceramic at room temperature was investigated. The leaching rate of rhenium was $1.3\times10^{-5}$ g/(cm$^2$*day).

Detection of a Disorder-Induced Bose-Einstein Condensate in a Quantum Spin Material at High Magnetic Fields

The coupled spin-1 chains material NiCl$_2$-4SC(NH$_2$)$_2$ (DTN) doped with Br impurities is expected to be a perfect candidate for observing many-body localization at high magnetic field: the so-called "Bose glass", a zero-temperature bosonic fluid, compressible, gapless, incoherent, and short-range correlated. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), we critically address the stability of the Bose glass in doped DTN, and find that it hosts a novel disorder-induced ordered state of matter, where many-body physics leads to an unexpected resurgence of quantum coherence emerging from localized impurity states. An experimental phase diagram of this new "order-from-disorder" phase, established from NMR $T_1^{-1}$ relaxation rate data in the (13 $\pm$ 1)% Br-doped DTN, is found to be in excellent agreement with the theoretical prediction from large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations.
