Absolute flatness measurements of silicon mirrors by a three-intersection method by near-infrared interferometry
Absolute flatness of three silicon plane mirrors have been measured by a three-intersection method based on the three-flat method using a near-infrared interferometer. The interferometer was constructed using ...

Vibration-assisted upconversion of molecular luminescence induced by scanning tunneling microscopy
We investigate the effects of coupling between a molecular exciton, which consists of an electron and a hole in a molecule, and a surface plasmon (exciton-plasmon coupling) on the electron transitions of the m...

First-principles investigation on the segregation of Pd at LaFe1-xPd x O3-y surfaces
First-principles calculations were performed to investigate the effect of Pd concentration and oxygen vacancies on the stability of Pd at LaFeO3 surfaces. We found a much stronger tendency of Pd to segregate by t...

Voltage distribution over capacitively coupled plasma electrode for atmospheric-pressure plasma generation
When capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) is used to generate large-area plasma, the standing wave effect becomes significant, which results in the hindering of the uniform plasma process such as in a plasma etch...

Metal-assisted chemical etching of Ge(100) surfaces in water toward nanoscale patterning
We propose the metal-assisted chemical etching of Ge surfaces in water mediated by dissolved oxygen molecules (O2). First, we demonstrate that Ge surfaces around deposited metallic particles (Ag and Pt) are prefe...
