In X-ray focusing, grazing incidence mirrors offer advantages of no chromatic aberration and high focusing efficiency. Although nanofocusing have been developed for the hard region, there is mirror with performance in soft region. Designing a system ability to focus beam size smaller than 100 nm at an energy less 1 keV requires numerical aperture larger 0.01. This leads difficulties fabrication accuracy. Ellipsoidal enable aperture. this study, we report production process ellipsoidal...
In optics fields, an extremely smooth surface with a complex form is necessary for the lens and mirror used in advanced optical systems, although their surfaces are still difficult to polish. Here, we describe machining of steeply curved by rotating-sphere EEM (elastic emission machining). Thus far, use has been limited flat gradually spite its high performance. We demonstrated successful application glass cylinder, resulting decrease RMS (root mean square) roughness from 0.30 0.16 nm.
An x-ray ellipsoidal mirror is an ideal tool for focusing soft x-rays. Because nanometer-level shape accuracy required in the internal surface of a having small diameter, it difficult to fabricate by processing directly.

Ellipsoidal mirrors are one of the most promising types X-ray mirror, because mirror can focus X-rays to nanometer size with a large aperture and no chromatic aberration. However, so far ideal ellipsoidal cannot be realized by any manufacturing methods. One reasons is there fabrication method process their inside surface diameter several millimeters nanometer-level accuracy. We propose develop mirror. First, master which has reversed shape prepared using grinding, polishing Elastic Emission...

Recently, a brain-computer interface (BCI) using virtual sound sources has been proposed for estimating user intention via electroencephalogram (EEG) in an oddball task. However, its performance is still insufficient practical use. In this study, we examine the impact that shortening stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) on auditory BCI. While very short SOA might improve performance, perception and task become difficult, event-related potentials (ERPs) may not be induced if too short. Therefore,...
