Possible ordered phases in perovskite manganites are investigated the framework of an effective spin Hamiltonian for atomic limit. Using mean-field approximation combined with a group-theoretical consideration, we determine stable orbital and at finite temperatures. It is found that magnetic ordering low-symmetry spatial arrangement stabilized due to mixing interaction between different multipoles. The resulting states discussed by taking into account effect lattice distortion from cubic...

A photocathode electron source using p-type GaN semiconductor with a negative affinity (NEA) surface has been studied for its ability to maintain an extended NEA state. The key technology of photocathodes is the formation electric dipoles by cesium and gallium atoms on surface, which makes it possible photoexcited electrons in conduction band minimum escape into vacuum. This means that order keep energy spread as small possible, excitation photon should be tuned gap energy. However, damaged...

A high quantum efficiency (QE) can be obtained on negative electron affinity (NEA) surfaces. It is well-known that NEA surfaces formed semiconductor materials such as GaAs by the alternating supply of cesium (Cs) and oxygen (O2), which called yo-yo method. While GaN related compounds InGaN are expected to realize an photocathode with a long lifetime, surface reactions between nitride semiconductors completely different respect increasing rate QE induced O2.

コムギの多収栽培技術の開発を目的に,耐倒伏性品種「さとのそら」を供試し,慣行の基肥重点型の施肥体系に対して,基肥を減らし追肥で窒素を増施用する生育後期重点施肥の効果を2カ年にわたって検証した.その結果,生育後期重点施肥により,茎立期以降の乾物成長量の大きくなる時期にLAIが高まったこと,登熟期後半まで葉色,NARが高く維持されたことでCGRが高く経過し,成熟期の総乾物重が大きくなった.一方で,茎立期の茎数が少なくなったことに加えて,この時期に窒素を増肥したことで,茎間の同化産物および窒素の競合が緩和され,茎の生存率が高まり,穂数が増加するとともに,シンク容量の大きな穂が形成されて1穂粒数も増加したものと考えられた.さらに登熟期後半までNARが高く維持されたことで1000粒重も増加した.以上の乾物成長経過および収量構成要素の形成の結果,生育後期重点施肥により,収量を15~50%増加させることが可能であった.一方で,成熟期が遅れること,外観品質の低下や子実タンパクの過剰,土壌の酸性化の助長などの普及技術化に向けて改善すべき課題も明らかとなった.

We have used surface photo-absorption (SPA) to investigate the formation of negative electron affinity (NEA) surfaces on p-GaAs during Yo-Yo method, under an alternating supply Cs and O 2 . The SPA spectra showed that first step was different from those in following steps. This suggests structure did not change after initial formed, indicating there could be two adsorption sites GaAs surface, which is previously proposed models.

Core-level photoelectron spectroscopy with the combination of synchrotron radiation (SR) and a laser was used for exploring surface-photovoltage (SPV) effect its temporal profiles in GaAs–GaAsP superlattice (SL). It observed that SPV value SL is suppressed as compared bulk GaAs. However, no significant difference found profile between SL. suggested suppression dominantly due to small band bending under thermal equilibrium.
