Temperature-Controlled Molecular Dynamics Study on Velocity-Dependent Threshold Behavior of Nano-Friction

Hayashi K., Mori T., Taniguchi R., Nakamura K., Kanazawa Institute of Technology, JP

Laws of dynamic nano-friction (i.e., continuous wearless friction) were searched for under steady spatial distributions of the local quasi-temperature, by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The temperature control of the non-conservative model was carried out by [...]

Characterization of Refined Beams of Neutral Free Radicals Produced by Photo-Deionization of Negative Ion Beams

Hayashi K., Tanaka F., Sugiura T., Matsuda T., Kanazawa Institute of Technology, JP

Ion-current difference measurement by light intensity modulation ( ICD ) is introduced as a convenient method to characterize a purified beam of momentum-controlled neutral free radicals produced by photo-deionization of a negative ion beam for [...]

Odor sensor using quartz crystal microbalance coated with molecular recognition membrane

Nanto H., Takei Y., Imamura T., Ishigure D., Kanazawa Institute of Technology, JP

Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) gas sensor coated with thin molecular recognition membrane using acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or stylene are prepared using plasma-polymerized chemical vapor deposition (CVD)method. The sensor coated with acrylic acid thin film [...]
