摘要:
An apparatus for manufacturing carbon nanohorns includes a production chamber configured to irradiate a solid carbon material with a laser beam to produce a product containing carbon nanohorns; and a separation mechanism configured to separate the product produced in the production chamber into a lightweight component and a heavyweight component. The heavyweight component includes carbon nanohorn aggregate with high purity, and high-purity carbon nanotubes can be obtained by collecting the heavyweight component.

In an Mn-containing perovskite oxide which is a conventional phase-change substance (A1−xBx)MnO3, when the mixing amount x is increased, the transition temperature (Tc) is shifted to higher temperature side, but the slope of a change in the emittance become gentle and Δε (ε at higher temperature−ε at lower temperature) also become small. In the present invention, the compositional formula of the phase-change substance is the Mn-containing perovskite oxide represented by (A1−xBx)Mn1+yO3 with 0

A plume (109) is generated by irradiating a side face of a graphite rod (101) with a laser beam (103) to vaporize carbon. The vaporized carbon is introduced to a carbon nanohorn recovery chamber (119) through a recovery pipe (155), and the vaporized carbon is recovered as a carbon nanohorn assembly (117). A cooling tank (150) including liquid nitrogen (151) is arranged in the recovery pipe (155). While the cooling tank (150) controls the plume (109) at a low temperature, the cooling tank (150) cools the carbon vapor when the carbon vapor passes through the recovery pipe (155). The cooled carbon vapor is recovered as the carbon nanohorn assembly (117) which is controlled in the desired shape and dimensions.

摘要:
An oxide for use in a bolometer with an oxide thin-film formed is manufactured on an insulating substrate. Metal organic compound is dissolved in solvent to form solution during manufacturing the oxide thin-film. The solution is applied on the insulating substrate, and the applied solution is dried. A bond between carbon and oxygen is cut and decomposed by irradiating a laser ray with wavelength of 400 nm or less. A generated oxide is crystallized.
摘要:
A porous body of Ti-Al alloy has a novel structure for a solid electrolytic capacitor, having improved values of leakage current and dielectric loss. The porous body of Ti-Al alloy has spherical particles which partially contact each other to form an integral body. The surfaces of the spherical particles have a ruggedness in the order of several microns or less. Because the diameter of the spherical particle is greater than the size of the ruggedness, the porous body has rough voids which provide a wide passageway through which a manganese nitrate solution penetrates. The wide passageway is effective for decreasing the number of times when there is a thermal decomposition of the manganese nitrate, thereby reducing the series resistance of the resultant cathode. In addition, this novel structure makes it possible to avoid production difficulties which are usually encountered when a solid electrolytic capacitor, having a high capacitance, is produced from a finely divided Ti-Al alloy.
