摘要： In a micro-liquid transfer apparatus including two washing tanks (first washing tanks A and B), operations to transfer a sample are carried out using two pin tools (pin tools A and B) alternately. While one pin tool A is being mounted on a pin tool holder and is being used to transfer a liquid, the other pin tool B is waiting in a state where the lower end portions of their associated pins are immersed in the first washing tank B. While one pin tool A is being mounted on a pin tool holder and is being used to transfer a very small amount of liquid, the lower end portions of the respective pins of the other pin tool are washed, whereby the liquid transfer operations can be made in progress with no interruption and thus the generation of the operation waiting time can be prevented.

摘要： When light is incident to an antenna layer AA6 of a photocathode AA1, light of a specific wavelength included in the incident light couples with surface plasmons in the antenna layer AA6 whereupon near-field light is outputted from a through hole AA14. The intensity of the output near-field light is proportional to and greater than the intensity of the light of the specific wavelength. The output near-field light has a wavelength that can be absorbed in a photoelectric conversion layer AA4. The photoelectric conversion layer AA4 receives the near-field light outputted from the through hole AA14. A region of the photoelectric conversion layer AA4 around the through hole AA14 absorbs the near-field light and generates photoelectrons (e−) in an amount according to the intensity of the near-field light. The photoelectrons (e−) generated in the photoelectric conversion layer AA4 are outputted to the outside.

摘要： A process for producing a silicon single crystal includes the steps of bringing a seed crystal into contact with a silicon melt, gradually pulling the seed crystal from the melt so as to form a neck having a tapered portion and a constant diameter portion, then pulling a silicon single crystal. The atmosphere used during neck formation is a hydrogen-containing atmosphere prepared by adding a hydrogen-containing substance to an inert gas. The hydrogen-containing substance has a hydrogen gas equivalent concentration in the hydrogen-containing atmosphere of 3 to 20%.
