    Notes: We have applied the laser-pump/probe and double-beam absorption/dispersion approaches to the far wings of the Hg 3P1–1S0 resonance line broadened by collisions with H2, D2, and HD. Absolute reduced absorption coefficients of the Hg–D2 quasimolecules have been determined as a function of the wave-number shift Δ from the resonance-line center both in the red and blue wings. The nascent rotational distributions have been determined for the v=0 and 1 levels of HgH (X 2Σ+) and the v=0 level of HgD (X 2Σ+) formed from the Hg*(3P1)–H2, D2, and HD collisional–quasimolecular states A˜ and B˜ attained by the red- and blue-wing excitation, respectively. Both of the intermediate states A˜ and B˜ give quite similar rotational distributions peaking around N(approximately-equal-to)18 for HgH and N(approximately-equal-to)25 for HgD insensitive to the excitation-wave-number shift Δ. However, a small difference is found: the red-wing excitation gives larger populations in the low-N levels than the blue-wing one. The departing atom isotope effect is observed in these low-N populations of HgD from Hg–D2 and Hg–HD. The absolute ratio of the nascent yields of v=1 to 0 has been measured to be 0.3, being nearly constant against Δ in both the red and blue wings. These observations indicate that HgH is formed predominantly from a bent H–Hg–H configuration on both the pathways via the A˜ and B˜ states. The different type of transition state, however, may be encountered on the pathways producing the minor components in the low-N levels. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Following direct exposure to sunlight while pursuing leisure activities, many have noticed a strong sense of fatigue in the evening. In this regard, our results of a survey of awareness showed that the development of fatigue from solar exposure of the body was generally recognized. On the other hand, a tool for objective and quantitative determination of mental fatigue has recently been reported. Known as the Advanced Trail Making Test (ATMT), it is a method of evaluating brain function. In the present study, we attempted to determine fatigue development caused by exposure of the human body to solar radiation using ATMT results. For 3 days in the summer season, 15 male subjects (26–41 years old) received exposure to the sun equivalent to 100 kJ cm−2 of ultraviolet radiation three to four times each day. During the periods of exposure, the subjects wore short-sleeved shirts and short pants, and covered their heads with a towel. Following the 3-day period, they were divided into two groups based on their subjective evaluation of a sense of tiredness, fatigued (n = 10) and non-fatigued (n = 5). In the fatigued group, a significant increase in the subjective score for fatigue sense was observed in the evening of all 3 days following sun exposure, as well as in the morning of the third day, as compared with those in the non-fatigued group. Further, a significant increase in average ATMT value was also observed in the fatigued group in the evening of the first and second days following sun exposure, as well as in the morning of the third day. These results indicate that ATMT may be a useful evaluation tool for quantitative and objective measurement of mental fatigue caused by exposure to sunlight.

    A study of the photolightening mechanism of blond hair with visible and ultraviolet light (2004)

    Notes: In this study the photolightening behavior of blond hair was investigated. The results demonstrated that visible (VIS) and ultraviolet (UV) light lighten blond hair through different mechanisms. VIS light was found to contribute much more to the lightening of blond hair than UV light, and acted directly, while UV light only lightened blond hair that had been washed following irradiation. VIS and UV light both, however, lightened to a similar degree isolated melanin granules and decomposed melanin granules that were exposed on a cross section of blond hair. These results indicate that melanin granules are equally sensitive to both forms of light while blond hair is most sensitive to VIS light. The results also indicate that hair tissues, excluding melanin granules, are damaged by UV light but not by VIS light. Based on these facts, the hypothetical lightening mechanism of UV light is assumed to be that UV light preferentially attacks and damages hair tissues rather than melanin granules. This occurs only after the hair is washed, as the washing process removes the melanin granules that effuse from loose hair fibers. In contrast, VIS light preferentially attacks and decomposes the melanin granules rather than other tissues, and also results in the lightening of blond hair but without the need for subsequent washing. We also found that while VIS light destroys the structure of isolated melanin granules, UV light does not act in a similar manner. Consequently, it is proven that VIS and UV light attack different sites of the melanin granule, even though the lightening rates from both light sources are similar.

    Objective determination of fatigue development following sun exposure using Advanced Trail Making Test (2004)

    Notes: Sun exposure during leisure activity evokes fatigue. We employed the Advanced Trail Making Test (ATMT), a recently developed objective method of evaluating brain function performance used to measure mental fatigue, for objective determination of fatigue development caused by solar exposure to the human body. First, a survey of consumer awareness was performed, and fatigue development from solar exposure was generally recognized in both summer and spring. In the field test, 15 males (26–41 years old) received sun exposure equivalent to 100 kJ m−2 of ultraviolet radiation three to four times each day for 3 days, during which the subjects wore a short sleeve shirt and a short pant, and covered their head with a towel. A significant increase in scores for subjective sense of fatigue was observed in the evening of all 3 days following sun exposure and on the fourth day, which had no exposure, as well as in the morning of the third and fourth days, as compared with those periods during the control week, which did not have experimental solar exposure. ATMT showed a significant increase in average value in the evening of the first and second days following sun exposure, as well as in the morning of the third and fourth days. In addition, increases in body temperature and heart rate were observed during the exposure periods. The results of multiple regression analysis of subjective feelings showed that fatigue caused by solar exposure was qualitatively different from that in the control week. These results suggest that brain function performance declined following solar exposure as did fatigue development. ATMT results may be useful for quantitative and objective evaluation of mental fatigue caused by sun exposure, along with development of sun care products for the prevention of solar-caused fatigue.

    A new method of radial potential profile measurement utilizing magnetic field gradient near a mirror throat (1996)

    Notes: A gold neutral beam is perpendicularly injected into a plasma column along a main chord near an inner mirror throat of a plug/barrier cell in the tandem mirror GAMMA 10, in order to directly measure time evolution of the electrostatic radial potential profile during one shot. The new method pays attention to the fact that trajectories of the ions, which are ionized at each point on the path of the neutral beam in the plasma column, are shifted due to the magnetic field gradient and the electrostatic potential. After traveling about a half period of Larmor motion, ions are detected by a plate type of ion detector. The radial profiles of the plasma potential are determined analyzing positions of the ion beam spots on the detector plane. The main advantage of this method is that radial potential profiles in a strong magnetic field region can be measured as a function of time during one shot without sweeping incident beam angles. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The electronic amplification gain of a microchannel plate (MCP), as employed for detector and image amplifier of an x-ray pinhole camera, tends to decrease as the output current increases, posing problems both in quantitative analyses and in construction of a three-dimensional emissivity distribution. We report that the output-current dependent MCP gain is described in a simple empirical formula that is determined by an in situ calibration experiment using a steady-state low-temperature discharge plasma. We examine the validity of the formula affirmatively in correcting raw data of x-ray images of magnetically trapped hot plasma. It is also demonstrated that the correction leads to a three-dimensional distribution of soft x-ray emissivity in a quadrupole-mirror-trapped hot plasma that is consistent with other indirect measurements. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Origin of transconductance oscillations in silicon-on-insulator metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors with an ultrathin 6-nm-thick active Si layer (2002)

    Notes: Transconductance oscillations were observed for silicon-on-insulator metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors with 50 nm channel length and 6 nm Si-layer thickness in the temperature range of 39–50 K. By investigating the temperature dependence of the oscillations it was found that the oscillations were caused by two reasons. One reason is the roughness at the Si/insulator interface responsible for the low-gate-voltage oscillations. The roughness results in different thicknesses of the Si layer along the channel, causing different quantized energy levels, which act as barriers for carriers moving in the channel. The other reason is the tunneling through the potential barrier at the p/n junctions between the contacts and the channel, which is responsible for the high-gate-voltage oscillations. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Photoacoustic and photoluminescence studies of porous silicon etched by low-concentration hydrofluoric acid (2000)

    Notes: We applied photoacoustic (PA), photoluminescence (PL), photoluminescence excitation (PLE), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques on porous silicon (PS) layers to study the influence of chemical etching by low-concentration hydrofluoric acid. The chemical etching reveals the formation of PS layers of small dimensions by AFM observations, indicating the possibility of a strong quantum confinement effect. PA spectroscopy is useful to obtain the optical absorption characteristic for strongly scattering media such as PS and it helps to confirm the above speculation by indicating the blueshift of the fundamental absorption edge for the PS layer with chemical etching. PL spectroscopy also confirms the possibility of a quantum confinement effect by revealing the strong intensity and blueshift for the PS layer with chemical etching. PLE measurements suggest that the site for the radiative processes is different from that for the recombination of carriers and the PL of PS layers were dominated only by small crystallites in various size distributions. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Angular dependence of magnetism of Fe films sputtered with ion beam perpendicular to target (1999)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: Fe films were deposited by sputtering with ion beam perpendicular to the target. The substrates were arranged to be in the arc shaped position around the center of the ion bombarded area of the target. The sputtering voltage Vs was 1200 V. The angle θs between the direction of the ion beam and the normal line of the substrate plane was varied in the range of 10°–80°. The energy of the sputtered atoms arriving to the substrate was calculated by Monte Carlo simulation, and the average energy EFe of the sputtered Fe atoms varied drastically with θs. EFe increased with increase of θs. The morphology and the magnetic properties of the Fe films significantly depended on θs. The morphology changed from a columnar structure to a round-grain one by propagation of recrystallization with the increase of θs. The saturation magnetization 4πMs was about 21.5 kG. The coercivity Hc took the minimum value of 5 Oe for θs above 50°. This suggests that the angular relation between the target and the substrate should be one of essential factors for controlling the magnetic properties of the Fe films. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A compact pinhole camera is found to be useful for observation of a spatial distribution of hot ions by imaging energetic charge-exchange neutral atoms. One can obtain images of neutral atoms and of x rays in the same geometry only by selecting filtering foils at the pinhole opening of a single camera. Easy comparison between the images associated with distributions of ions and electrons is quite beneficial for physical analyses of plasmas. The imaging technique is expected also to be useful to determine space–time-resolved energy spectra of hot ions. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
