Summary A special furnace for smoke-heating logs, with increased far-infrared radiation (FIR), was produced to improve the wood quality. Green sugi (Cryptomeria japonica D.Don) logs were smoke-heated with the direct use of this system. In a short time, this process increased the temperature inside the logs up to 80–100 °C uniformly, without any damage to the wood. The great increase in steam pressure inside the log resulted in the rupture of pit membranes (PMs) with a high frequency, leading to a decrease in the moisture contents of the logs. It was found that when a temperature of 80 °C is attained inside the log, the rupture of PMs occurs. The rupture proceeds from the outer sapwood towards the pith, accompanied by the radiation heat transfer within the log. By the rupture of PMs, smoke-heated sugi wood showed a large improvement in permeability.

We report the first high-pressure spectroscopy study on Zn(IO3)2 using synchrotron far-infrared radiation. Spectroscopy was conducted up to pressures of 17 GPa at room temperature. Twenty-five phonons were identified below 600 cm−1 for the initial monoclinic low-pressure polymorph of Zn(IO3)2. The pressure response of the modes with wavenumbers above 150 cm−1 has been characterized, with modes exhibiting non-linear responses and frequency discontinuities that have been proposed to be related to the existence of phase transitions. Analysis of the high-pressure spectra acquired on compression indicates that Zn(IO3)2 undergoes subtle phase transitions around 3 and 8 GPa, followed by a more drastic transition around 13 GPa.
