A hydrogen gas sensor utilizing Pt/$SnO_2$ system was fabricated by the pressed pellet method. The crystal structure, direction of the crystal, crystal size and microstructure between the catalyst and the support ($SnO_2$) were characterized with Electron Diffraction Analysis, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy. After the reactor with a Pt/$SnO_2$ sample was run with a flow rate of 30sccm (a mixture of $0.5%H_2$ in $N_2$) for a while, the resistance of $SnO_2$ was saturated, but the $SnO_2$ kept absorbing $H_2$ gas. $H_2$ gas sensing properties of Pt/$SnO_2$ were investigated at several temperatures. As a result, it was observed that Pt/$SnO_2$ has high sensitivity at $300^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$.

This paper describes the information for quantitative simulation of weakly ionized plasma. In previous paper, we calculated the electron transport coefficients by using two-term approximation of Boltzmann equation. But there is difference between the result of the two-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation and experiments in pure CF$_4$ molecular gas and in CF$_4$+Ar gas mixture. Therefore, In this paper, we calculated the electron drift velocity (W) in pure CF$_4$ molecular gas and CF$_4$+Ar gas mixture (1 %, 5 %, 10 %) for range of E/N values from 0.17～300 Td at the temperature was 300 K and pressure was 1 Torr by multi-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation by Robson and Ness. The results of two-term and multi-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation have been compared with each other for a range of E/N.

This study was performed to analyze the purity of technical grade ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine, to establish optimal analytical condition of ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine and to determine the urine sample of workers exposed to ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine. The purity of technical grade ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine were $96.5{\pm}2.38%$, $94.1{\pm}0.97%$, $97.0{\pm}0.02%$ by gas chromatography-mass selective detector. To analyze ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine, high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detector and gas chromatography-electron capture detector operating conditions have been optimized by preliminary expriment. In high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detector, the mobile phase was consisted of acetonitrile(35%) and water(65%), and the flow rate was maintained at 1.0ml per minute. Optimal detective condition was 9.0V(10nA/V) of electrochemical detector. The recovery of sep-pak treatment method was highly estimated as pretreatment of ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine. The free amine was isolated by gas chromatography-electron capture detector after basic hydrosis, sep-pak treatment, toluene elution and HFBA(heptafluoro-butyric anhydride) derivatization of urine. The recovery of ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine was $98.73{\pm}3.29%$ by gas chromatography-electron capture detector. The sensitivity was more higher than that of high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detector. Urinary ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine was detected in only one worker among nine workers. The level of ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine was 6.42 ng/ml.

In this paper, electrical characteristics of inductively coupled plasma in an electrodeless fluorescent lamp were investigated using a Langmuir probe with a variation of argon gas pressure. The RF output was applied in the range of 5 ∼ 50 (W) at 13.56 (MHz). The internal plasma voltage of the chamber and the probe current were measured while varying the supply voltage to the Langmuir probe in the range of -100 (V) ∼+100 (V). When the pressure of argon gas was increased, electric current was decreased. There was a significant electric current increase from l0W to 30 〔W〕. Also, when the RF power was increased, electron density was increase. This implies that this method can be used to find an optimal RF rower for efficient light illumination in an electrodeless fluorescent lamp.

We have investigated in detail the operating properties of Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors with a double conical and a cylindrical structure in a wide range of external fields and GEM voltages. With the double conical GEM, the gain gradually increased with time by 10%; whereas this surface charging was eliminated with the cylindrical GEM. Effective gains above 1000 were easily observed over a wide range of collection field strengths in a gas mixture of $Ar/CO_2(70/30)$. The transparency and electron collection efficiency were found to depend on the ratio of external field and the applied GEM voltage; the mutual influence of both drift and collection fields was found to be trivial.

The conductance of a microscopic constriction in a two-dimensional electron gas is obtained as a function of both the constriction width and curvature. When the quantized conductance G at plateaus is given by the channel number Nc times the quantum unit 2e2/h, Nc is found to be a function of not only the width and but also the curvature. At a given W, Nc increases by one whenever the constriction curvature decreases by about a certain value. Until the shape smoothness becomes comparable to the two parallel boundaries, there exist more channels avaliable for conduction in a smaller-curvature constriction than in a larger-curvature one. This result is very interesting because Nc has been considered to depend on the width W only. this reflects that the number of the quantized transverse levels depend o both the constriction width and curvature in a two-dimensional electron gas.

In this paper, the Numerov method is applied to solve the Schroedinger equation for $Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}AS/GaAs/Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}As$ double-heterojunction HEMT structures. The 3 subband energy levels, corresponding wave functions, 2-dimensional electron gas density, and conduction band edge profile are calculated from a self-consistent iterative solution of the Schroedinger equation and the Poisson equation. In addition, 2-dimensional electron gas densities in a quantum well of double heterostructure are calculated as a function of applied gate voltage. The density in the double heterojunction quantum well is increased to about more than 90%, however, the transconductance of the double heterostructure HEMT is not improved compared to that of the single heterostructure HEMT. Thus, double-heterojunction structures are expected to be suitable to increase the current capability in a HEMT device or a power HEMT structure.

We study the ballistic spin transport properties in a two-dimensional electron gas system in the presence of magnetic barriers using a transfer matrix method. We concentrate on the size-effect of the magnetic barriers parallel to a two-dimensional electron gas plane. We calculate the transmission probability of the ballistic spin transport in the magnetic barrier structure while varying the width of the magnetic barriers. It is shown that resonant tunneling oscillation is affected by the width and height of the magnetic barriers sensitively as well as by the inter-spacing of the barriers. We also consider the effect of additional electrostatic modulation on the top of the magnetic barriers, which could enhance the current spin polarization. Because all-semiconductor-based devices are free from the resistance mismatch problem, a resonant tunneling structure using the two-dimensional electron gas system with electric-magnetic modulation would play an important role in future spintronics applications. From the results here, we provide information on the physical parameters of a device to produce well-defined spin-polarized current.

Adsorption of residual gas molecules damped the emission current of a W (310) field electron emission (FE) emitter. The damping speed was linearly proportional to the pressure gauge readings at pressure ranging from ${\sim}10^{-8}Pa$ to ${\sim}10^{-9}Pa$, and the proportionality constant was employed to measure pressure in the $10^{-10}Pa$ range. A time plot of FE current revealed the existence of an "initial stable region" after the flash heating of W(310) FE, during which the FE current damps very slowly. The presence of non-hydrogen gas removed this region from the plot, supplying a means of qualitatively analysing the gas species.
