    Abstract: In the production of an internal-tin-processed Nb3Sn superconducting wire, the present invention provides a Nb3Sn superconducting wire that is abundant in functionality, such as, the promotion of formation of a Nb3Sn layer, the mechanical strength of the superconducting filament (and an increase in interface resistance), the higher critical temperature (magnetic field), and the grain size reduction, and a method for producing it. A method for producing a Nb3Sn superconducting wire according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step of providing a bar 10 that has a Sn insertion hole 12 provided in a central portion of the bar 10 and a plurality of Nb insertion holes 14 provided discretely along an outer peripheral surface of the Sn insertion hole 12, and that has an alloy composition being Cu-xZn-yM (x: 0.1 to 40 mass %, M=Ge, Ga, Mg, or Al, provided that, for Mg, x: 0 to 40 mass %), a step of mounting an alloy bar with an alloy composition of Sn-zQ (Q=Ti, Zr, or Hf) into the Sn insertion hole 12 and inserting Nb cores into the Nb insertion holes 14, a step of subjecting the bar 10 to diameter reduction processing to fabricate a Cu-xZn-yM/Nb/Sn-zQ composite multicore wire with a prescribed outer diameter, and a step of subjecting the composite multicore wire to Nb3Sn phase generation heat treatment.

    Abstract: An optical deflector includes: a light transmitting portion through which a light passes; and a pair of electrodes arranged to oppose to each other with the light transmitting portion interposed therebetween. The light transmitting portion is a transparent ion conductor made of a single crystal or polycrystal. The pair of electrodes apply a predetermined voltage to the light transmitting portion to move ions inside the transparent ion conductor so as to change a traveling direction of the light passing through the light transmitting portion.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a magnetic sensor includes a first sensor part. The first sensor part includes a first magnetic member, a first counter magnetic member, and a first magnetic element including one or a plurality of first extension parts. The first extension part includes a first magnetic layer, a first counter magnetic layer, and a first nonmagnetic layer. The first magnetic layer includes a first portion, a first counter portion, and a first middle portion. The first middle portion is between the first portion and the first counter portion. The first nonmagnetic layer is between the first counter magnetic layer and at least a portion of the first middle portion. An electrical resistance of the first magnetic element has first to third values when first to third magnetic fields are applied to the first magnetic element. The first value is greater than the second and third values.

    Abstract: The present invention suppresses an adverse effect caused when an additional gas such as water vapor is mixed in a sample gas or the like that is subjected to gas measurement. In an embodiment of the present invention, in gas measurement for analyzing sensor output signals obtained by alternately supplying a sample gas and a reference gas to a sensor element while alternately switching between the sample gas and the reference gas, the sample gas and the reference gas pass through a humidity equilibration device partitioned by a water vapor permeable membrane, and then are supplied to the sensor element. As a result, since both gases have substantially the same value of humidity at the time of being supplied to the sensor element, influences of water vapor are substantially cancelled out in signals output from the sensor element by the alternate supply of the sample gas and the reference gas.
