Abstract:
In order to provide a novel method for producing a chip having a water-repellent obverse surface and a hydrophilic reverse surface, the characteristic of the present disclosure lies in that the obverse surface of the chip having a hydroxyl group is brought into contact with an organic solvent in which R1—Si(OR2)3 or R1—SiY3 is dissolved in a second hydrophobic solvent, while the reverse surface of the chip is protected by the water film, so as to form a water-repellent film on the obverse surface of the chip.
Abstract:
A photoresponsive oxygen storage material includes a plurality of unit cells. Each of the plurality of unit cells has a shape of a cube having eight corners and six faces. Each of the plurality of unit cells includes a plurality of zirconium-oxo clusters each located at a corresponding corner of the eight corners, and a plurality of ligands each located on a corresponding face of the six faces and each having a porphyrin skeleton and including greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 4 carboxy groups. A molybdenum ion is located at a center of the porphyrin skeleton, and at least some of the plurality of unit cells are empty.

A recording medium includes a recording layer. The recording layer includes an aliphatic polymer, and a multiphoton absorption compound containing at least one bond selected from the group consisting of a carbon-carbon double bond, a carbon-nitrogen double bond, and a carbon-carbon triple bond, and having a multiphoton absorption characteristic. When the thickness of the recording layer is 100 μm, the transmittance of the recording layer in the thickness direction with respect to light having a wavelength of 405 nm is greater than or equal to 80%.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an actuator device comprising an actuator wire; a net-shaped electric heating element which covers a side surface of the actuator wire and comprises heating wires; and a controller for supplying electric power to the net-shaped electric heating element to heat the net-shaped electric heating element. The actuator wire is capable of being contracted by application of heat and restored by release of heat. The side surface of the actuator wire is formed of polymer. One end and the other end of the net-shaped electric heating element is connected to one end and the other end of the actuator wire, respectively. The net-shaped electric heating element is in contact with the side surface of the actuator wire, when the net-shaped electric heating element is not heated. The net-shaped electric heating element is moved outward from the side surface of the actuator wire due to contraction of the actuator wire, when the net-shaped electric heating element is heated.
Abstract:
A solar cell element includes: a transparent body; a MgxAg1-x layer (0.001≦x≦0.045) having a thickness (2-13 nm); a ZnO layer having an arithmetical mean (Ra: 20-870 nm); and a transparent conductive layer. A photoelectric conversion layer including n-type and p-type layers further includes n-side and p-side electrodes. The ZnO layer is composed of ZnO columnar crystal grains grown on the MgxAg1-x layer, and each ZnO grain has a longitudinal direction along a normal line of the body, has a width increasing from the MgxAg1-x layer toward the transparent conductive layer, has a width which appears by cutting each ZnO grain along the normal line, and has a R2/R1 ratio (1.1-1.8). R1 represents the width of one end of the ZnO grain, and the one end is in contact with the surface of the MgxAg1-x layer, and R2 represents the width of the other end of the ZnO grain.
