In our previous study, results of the indoor performance test of a tilted-tray, wick-type solar still with a condensing chamber have been reported. In the present study, dependence of total distillate on saline water flow rate has been experimentally investigated. Performance tests were done and their results were compared with those of the non-circulation type solar still. It was found that the effect of the distillate on saline water flow rate was smaller at higher solar insolation than at lower insolation.

Separation of ionic or isotopic species in a magnetized sheet plasma has been studied by using the ion cyclotron resonance heating. The sheet plasma was used instead of a cylindrical plasma in which many unfavorable collisions take place. The rf electric field is applied to the plasma through two parallel electrodes. The resonance spectra of H
+, D
+, H
2+, and He
+ are clearly observed for the Ar or He plasma in which hydrogen or deuterium gas fed. It is found that the resonance peak shifts to the higher frequency than the calculated cyclotron frequency due to the plasma space potential of sheet plasma.

The oxidation resistance of zirconium diboride (ZrB
2) powder at high temperatures was investigated in order to determine the possibility of the use of additional material for improvement of the oxidation resistance in carbon-carbon (C/C) composites. ZrB
2 powder with an average particle size of about 10μm was used in this experiment. The samples were oxidized at 300 to 1000°C for 5min to 25h in air. The weight changes were measured to estimate the oxidation resistance. The oxidation of samples oxidized for short oxidation time of 5min started at 700 to 800°C, and the weight gain increases with increasing oxidation temperature. On the other hand, at the oxidation time of above 0.5h, a maximum weight gain value at 700°C was observed. After that the weight gain decreased monotonically with increasing oxidation temperature. Based on the results of the X-ray diffraction analysis, monoclinic ZrO
2 was present on the surface of the samples oxidized at 700°C and above. The peaks of tetragonal ZrO
2, cubic ZrO
2 and B

The high temperature oxidation of tantalum carbide (TaC) powder was investigated in order to determine the application of refractory materials for space crafts and rocket vehicles. TaC powder with an average particle size of about 10μm was used in this experiment. The samples were oxidized at 573 to 1273K for 5min to 25h in air. The weight changes were measured to estimate the oxidation properties. The oxidation of samples, exposed for short oxidation times of 5min, started at 873K and weight changes increase with increasing oxidation temperature. The sample oxidized for 0.5 to 1h, exhibited increasing weight gain with increasing oxidation temperature, and constant weight gain above 973K. On the other hand, for oxidation times above 2h, the weight gain had a maximum value at 1073 to 1273K. After that it had a constant value of only 15%. Based on the results of the X-ray diffraction analysis, tantalum oxide (Ta
2O

The diffusion reaction between 211 oxide substrate (e. g., 211 is the atomic ratio of RE: Ba: Cu; RE: Gd, Sm, Nd) and 035 oxide coating layer has been studied. Thick and uniform high-
Tc superconducting 123 layer is synthesized for all RE systems. Moreover, in Sm and Nd systems the 224 layer is formed between the substrate and the 123 layer. The thickness of the 224 layer depends on the O
2 partial pressure when reacted in the mixed gas of O
2 and Ar. The formation of the 224 layer is suppressed by controlling the reaction temperature and the atmosphere. The Gd-123 layer formed by the diffusion reaction is composed of relatively large columnar and random grains. The transition temperature (1) of RE-123 phases depends on the O
2 partial pressure of O
2/Ar mixed gas atmosphere.
Tc of the specimen reacted in open air is appreciably improved by the post annealing in O
2. The highest offset
Tc obtained in the present study for Gd, Sm and Nd systems are 94.0K, 92.3K and 91.4K, respectively, which are higher than that of the Y-123 phase.

Hippocampal LTP, well known as the learning model, is induced by tetanic stimulation to CA1 region in the hippocampus. The microelectrode techniques is advantageous in temporal resolution, while that of optical probing by functional dyes has advantage to spatial resolution. For long period observation from wider area, the recording by multi-array-electrode (MAE) is desirable. We applied MAE to the hippocampal slice to analyze the signal transudation property at the cellular level.

The Chemical Oxygen lodine Laser (COIL) has unique characteristics and it is expected to be used in the energy field. Usually, Lasing threshold of COIL is decreased by the supersonic expansion. To obtain the high stagnation pressure at the plenum, helium is added as a buffer gas. However, using large amount of expensive helium is out of the question for industrial applications. We achieved a high efficiency operation of COIL using nitrogen as buffer gas. Obtained overall efficiency was 23.5% and it is the highest among the supersonic COILS using nitrogen gas a buffer gas.

A high speed photography technique was demonstrated in order to explore transient laser beam cutting phenomena. Dynamic cutting kerf production during a CO
2 laser irradiation on soft steel and stainless steel sheets are imaged using a fix velocity cine moving picture camera. Such observation suggested that a detail analysis of the relations between laser induced plume contour and fusion zone should be required for the improved processing quality.

In order to construct STM, we made power supplies, amplifiers and programs for computer auto-measuring. We earned the data of tunneling current which increased as a tip moved horizontally on Au surface. From the data, we got the shape of gold surface by new method.

The thermoelectric properties of the p-type SiC/Si sintered semiconductor have been studied as functions of Si concentration and temperature. The thermal conductivity decreases drastically with Si concentration compared with other dopants such as Al, Ag, Cu and Ni. The figure of merit Z approaches to 3×10
-4 K
-1 at around 750°C. We conclude that the addition of Si is most effective to reduce thermal conductivity for SiC based thermoelectric materials.

The ion-plating is used as a film formation process with a high deposition rate in many mass production processes. In this study, we investigated the formation of giant-magnetostrictive TbFe
2 thin film by ion-plating process. The film composition of Tb-Fe film became Tb rich in comparison with source composition.

The reactivity of N
2 gas molecules with Ti atoms (neutral and/or ion) in TiN film formation has been measured quantitatively. Increasing the fraction of Ti ions in all the evaporeted Ti from 2.7×10
-3 to 0.26 enhances the N
2 reaction probability up to 10
2 times and facilitates the formation of stoichiometric TiN.

In the railway engineering, the effect of a rolling wheel on the generation and propagation of micro cracks at the surface of a rail has been investigated for long period as one of the most important issues. On the other hand, recent development of high performance computers makes molecular dynamics one of the useful methods for investigating the materials properties at a scale of atoms and molecules. In this study, the molecular dynamics simulation is applied to the phenomena of micro crack generation and propagation at the rail surface during the long term rolling contact with wheels passing over them. EAM potential, which is regarded as very effective for metallic materials simulations, is employed as a potential function to introduce the mutual interaction among atoms in the molecular dynamics models. The resultant atomic behaviors in and around the cracks will be compared with the results obtained by the continuum mechanics analysis.

The influence of sintering temperature on vickers hardness of calcium hexaboride (CaB
6)sintered body was investigated. CaB
6 powder with of about 10μm in size was used in this experiment. The sample sintered at 1673 to 1923K for 3.6ks in vacuum by hot-pressing. The relative density of the sintered body increased with increasing sintering temperature. Relative density of the sample was 90% more than sintering temperature at 1873K. The relative density of sample sintered at 1923K showed 94%. The vickers hardness of the sample increased drastically with increasing relative density from about 4 to 8GPa for 90 to 94%.
