摘要:
A method of manufacturing a tubular carbon molecule capable of regularly aligning a carbon nanotube with a finer spacing is provided. A catalyst is arranged on a material substrate (10) made of a semiconductor such as silicon (Si) and including iron (Fe) as a catalyst through the use of melting according to a modulated heat distribution (11). The heat distribution (11) is formed, for example, through diffracting an energy beam (12) by a diffraction grating (13). As a method of arranging the catalyst, for example, iron may be deposited in a planar shape or a projection shape in a position corresponding to the heat distribution (11), or the deposited iron may be used as a master to be transferred to another substrate. A carbon nanotube is grown through the use of the arranged catalyst. The grown carbon nanotube can be used as a recording apparatus, a field electron emission device, an FED or the like.

A memory element wherein a spin conduction layer having a sufficient spin coherence length and a uniform spin field can be obtained, and thereby practical use is attained and a memory device are provided. A spin conduction layer (paramagnetic layer) (24) is a fullerene thin film being from 0.5 nm to 5 μm thick, for example. The fullerene has a hollow sized, for example, from 0.1 nm to 50 nm. A paramagnetic material is included in this hollow. A fermi vector of the fullerene thin film well laps over small number of spin band or plenty of spin band of a ferromagnetic fixed layer (23) and a ferromagnetic free layer (25). Further, spin orientations of the included paramagnetic material are random. Further, electron spin in the fullerene is in a quantized state in a pseudo zero dimensional space. Thereby, a spin coherence length becomes long in the fullerene thin film, and scatteration of spin-polarized conduction electrons goes away.

摘要:
Disclosed herein are an ionic conductor including a proton conductor, a process for production thereof, and an electrochemical device (such as fuel cell) with said ionic conductor, said ionic conductor being superior in ionic conductivity, water resistance, and film forming properties. The ionic conductor is formed from a polymer in which carbon clusters having ion dissociating functional groups are bonded to each other through connecting groups. The polymer is less water-soluble and more chemically stable than a derivative composed solely of carbon clusters; therefore, it permits many ion dissociating functional group to be introduced thereinto. Moreover, if ion dissociating functional groups are introduced into also the connecting group, it is possible to prevent the concentration of ion dissociating functional groups from decreasing as the result of polymerization. The polymer can be easily synthesized by simple condensation, substitution, and hydrolysis. Therefore, the process is suitable for mass production in high yields.

An ionic conductor, such as a proton conductor, a process for production thereof, and an electrochemical device, such as fuel cell, that includes the ionic conductor is provided. The ionic conductor of the present invention is formed from a polymer in which carbon clusters having ion dissociating functional groups are bonded to each other through connecting groups which can also include one or more ion dissociating functional groups. In this regard, the polymer is less water-soluble and more chemically stable than a derivative composed solely of carbon clusters, thus displaying enhanced ionic conduction properties.
