We developed a pressure-driven flow control system for chemical reaction in nanochannel. In this system, back pressure regulating was utilized to prevent the high pressure loss, which is usually occured in nanochannel...

Recently, we have reported the synthesis of phenol-furfural (or formaldehyde) polymer nanotubes in the presence of cationic surfactant as the template. But it was unsuccessful to apply these nanotubes to proton conductors and carbon precursors, due to chemical and thermal instability of their frameworks. Here we report the synthesis of nanostructural polymer materials through resorcinol-formaldehyde copolymerization in the presence of CnTAB (n=16, 18).
Cell adhesion surfaces with micro or nano structures were fabricated in microchips. Mouse fibroblasts cultured on the surfaces looked different from those on a tissue culture polystyrene dish. These results indicate t...

The 10−nm-scale structure formed in silicon cleavage is studied by the quantum mechanical calculations of large-scale electronic structure. The cleavage process was simulated and the results show not only the elementary process of the (experimentally observed) (111)-(2×1) surface reconstruction but also several step-formation processes. These processes are studied by analyzing electronic freedom and compared with scanning tunneling microscopy experiments. The stability mechanism of the (111)-(2×1) cleavage mode is presented beyond the traditional approach with surface energy. In other results, the cleavage path was bent into the experimentally observed planes, owing to the relative stability among cleavage modes. Several common aspects between cleavage and other phenomena are discussed from the viewpoints of nonequilibrium process and 10−nm-scale structure.

We study the measurement-induced non-Gaussian operation on the single- and two-mode Gaussian squeezed vacuum states with beam splitters and on-off type photon detectors, with which mixed non-Gaussian states are generally obtained in the conditional process. It is known that the entanglement can be enhanced via this non-Gaussian operation on the two-mode squeezed vacuum state. We show that, in the range of practical squeezing parameters, the conditional outputs are still close to Gaussian states, but their second order variances of quantum fluctuations and correlations are effectively suppressed and enhanced, respectively. To investigate an operational meaning of these states, especially entangled states, we also evaluate the quantum dense coding scheme from the viewpoint of the mutual information, and we show that non-Gaussian entangled state can be advantageous compared with the original two-mode squeezed state.

In situ electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM) was used to examine the zinc-terminated ZnO(0001)-Zn surface in electrolyte solution. Atomically-flat terrace-step structures were consistently observed on the surface which was prepared by chemical etching in alkaline solutions. Steps observed on the surface were composed of bilayers with a step height of 0.26 nm. Atomic images obtained by in situ EC-STM revealed that the surface has a (1×1) structure with hexagonal lattice. Etching was observed to proceed at step edges.

We report a coexistence of superconductivity and antiferromagnetism in five-layered compound HgBa2Ca4Cu5Oy (Hg-1245) with Tc=108K, which is composed of two types of CuO2 planes in a unit cell; three inner planes (IP’s) and two outer planes (OP’s). The Cu-NMR study has revealed that the optimally doped OP undergoes a superconducting (SC) transition at Tc=108K, whereas the three underdoped IP’s do an antiferromagnetic (AF) transition below TN∼60K with the Cu moments of ∼(0.3–0.4)μB. Thus bulk superconductivity with a high value of Tc=108K and a static AF ordering at TN=60K are realized in the alternating AF and SC layers. The AF-spin polarization at the IP is found to induce the Cu moments of ∼0.02μB at the SC OP, which is the AF proximity effect into the SC OP.

An immunosuppressant FK506 has been reported to induce osteoblast differentiation in vivo [J. Bone Miner. Res. 15 (2000) 1147]. To study the role of FK506 in osteoblast differentiation, we examined the mRNA expressions of several marker genes (Cbfa1, osteopontin, and alkaline phosphatase) in an osteoblastic cell line: UMR106-6. Results showed that the Cbfa1 (osteoblast specific transcription factor) expression in UMR cells was enhanced by treatment with FK506, promoting osteoblast differentiation. The effect was marked when simultaneous treatment with FK506 and dexamethasone was given to UMR cells comparing with the effects of treatment with each substance alone or non-treatment.
