This paper introduces and describes a learning system for analyzing devices in virtual world points out its significance current research collaboration. Now we are Society 5.0, so daily problems should be solved by IoT (Internet of Things) with mutual collaboration without borders. The authors need to collaborate each other among remote organizations different nations. For such situations, establish the which would lead an actual sharing future. In this paper, proposed concept metaverse is...
Reaction cross sections (sigma(R)) for 19C, 20C and the drip-line nucleus 22C on a liquid hydrogen target have been measured at around 40A MeV by transmission method. A large enhancement of sigma(R) compared to those neighboring C isotopes was observed. Using finite-range Glauber calculation under an optical-limit approximation rms matter radius deduced be 5.4+/-0.9 fm. It does not follow systematic behavior radii in carbon with N < or = 14, suggesting neutron halo. found analysis based...
Biofilms have caused many problems, not only in the industrial fields, but also our daily lives. Therefore, it is important for us to control them by evaluating properly. There are instrumental analytical methods available formed biofilm qualitatively. These include use of Raman spectroscopy and various microscopes (optical microscopes, confocal laser scanning electron transmission atomic force etc.). On other hand, there some biological methods, such as staining, gene analyses, etc. From...
In marine environments and water systems, it is easy for many structures to form biofilms on their surfaces be deteriorated due the corrosion caused by biofilm formation bacteria. The authors have investigated antibacterial effects of metallic elements in practical steels so far solve food-related problems, using Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus. However, from viewpoint material deterioration bacteria antifouling measures, we should consider behavior as aggregate rather than individual...
Transition-metal carbides and nitrides (TMCs TMNs) are promising electrode materials for various electronic devices such as metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors metal-insulator-metal capacitors. In this paper, the work functions of TMCs TMNs discussed systematically. Based upon origin function, effect transition metal species by different periodic table groups is explained, compared with same metal, carbon or nitrogen vacancies discussed. addition, a method to estimate generic...
Abstract The single crystals of NiPc(SbF6)0.5 and NiPc(AsF6)0.5 were prepared by means an electrochemical method. electrical, magnetic, optical, structural properties these examined. These are isostructural to each other, exhibit a metallic behavior at least above 200 K. g-values the ESR signals remarkably depend upon temperature. By aid low temperature experiments XANES reflectance spectrum, dependence is explained model based on interaction between small amount local spins Ni atoms...
We studied surface segregation of substrate metal on the top a deposited film in vacuum. A metallic polycrystalline submicron or micrometer thickness was and heated an Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) x-ray photoelectron (XPS) apparatus. The composition monitored during heating. specimen until observed concentration became saturated. depth profile obtained by measuring AES/XPS with Ar ion etching. Al, Ti, Cr, Ni, Cu, Nb, Fe were used as materials Zr, materials. More than 25 combinations...

In some organizations, groups faculty student members asked to participate such an activity phone along with headset. authors plan analyze results 5-point scale. A similar experiment already progress. It...
Epitaxial ultrathin alumina films were grown on a Cu−9 at. % Al(111) substrate by selective oxidation of Al in the alloy ultrahigh vacuum. The photoelectron spectra 2p and valence band measured situ during oxidation. By analyzing multiple peaks 2p, interface atomic structure was discussed. energy difference between Fermi level maximum (band offset) obtained. relation offset compared with reported first-principles calculations.

We have applied a combinatorial technique to fabricate work function (WF) tuned Pt-W alloy films and used the as metal electrodes for HfO2∕SiO2∕Si capacitors. As ratio, RPt, of Pt W changes from 0 1, WF value varies continuously 4.7 5.5 eV. This tunability enables us systematically investigate effect variation on electrical properties. After forming gas annealing process, values flatband voltage (Vfb) capacitance-voltage properties are almost constant, regardless variation, because oxygen...
