Abstract: A vibrator that is capable of vibrating without using an electrode and has good detection sensitivity is provided. A carbon-based material vibrator for vibration by light irradiation has a biological substance or a substance capable of identifying a biological substance immobilized on the vibrator. The vibrator may not include a counter electrode for applying a voltage to the vibrator. The carbon-based material may be graphite. A thermal conductivity ?1 in a plane direction of the carbon-based material is 100 times or more than a thermal conductivity ?2 in a thickness direction of the carbon-based material.

Abstract: Anisotropic graphite and an anisotropic graphite composite are provided, each having excellent heat transmission performance and excellent long-term reliability as a heat transmitting element, and a production method for the anisotropic graphite composite. A face of anisotropic graphite which face is perpendicular to crystal orientation planes of graphite layers of the anisotropic graphite may be subjected to surface treatment so as to obtain anisotropic graphite having a specific surface roughness. An anisotropic graphite composite may include anisotropic graphite having an interface that has a specific interface roughness; a titanium-containing metal layer; and an inorganic material layer.
