Abstract: A method for producing a phosphor having a core-shell structure that includes: a core part formed of a crystal phase of an inorganic compound containing a metal element M constituting a luminescent center ion and aluminum; and a shell part containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of boron and silicon and formed on at least a portion of a surface of the core part, the method including: mixing a raw material of the crystal phase and a raw material of the shell part; and heating the obtained mixture at a temperature at which the raw material of the shell part is liquefied, but a host crystal of a phosphor to be obtained is maintained, in which the raw material of the crystal phase contains a raw material compound having D50 in a particle diameter distribution of 0.2 to 90 ?m and containing aluminum.

Abstract: A dinitrogen pentoxide generating device and a method for generating dinitrogen pentoxide. An NOx generating unit is able to use, as a raw material gas, a gas containing nitrogen and oxygen and produce a plasma to generate a nitrogen oxide. An ozone generating unit is able to use, as a raw material gas, the gas containing nitrogen and oxygen or a gas obtained after the plasma has been produced by the NOx generating unit and produce a plasma to generate ozone. A mixing unit is able to hold the nitrogen oxide generated by the NOx generating unit and the ozone generated by the ozone generating unit in the same space for a predetermined time to generate dinitrogen pentoxide.

Abstract: An article for use in a plasma processing apparatus includes a gas supply pipe, and a component disposed in the gas supply pipe. The component is configured to cause radicals of gas passing through the gas supply pipe to be deactivated in the component.

Abstract: A method for producing a terminal carboxyl group-containing polyethylene glycol, which includes the following steps 1 and 2. Step 1: In a solution containing a polyethylene glycol having a hydroxyl group, an inorganic base 0.5 to 4 times the polyethylene glycol in mass, an aprotic solvent and water, mass of the water being 5 to 20 meq with respect to the inorganic base and mass of the water in the solution being 2,000 ppm or less, a compound of the formula (1) is reacted with the polyethylene glycol to obtain a polyethylene glycol ester: wherein X represents a leaving group, a represents an integer of 4 to 9, and R1 represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; Step 2: The polyethylene glycol ester is hydrolyzed to obtain a terminal carboxyl group-containing polyethylene glycol.

Abstract: The three-dimensional shaping method and apparatus employs a plurality of galvano scanners 3 that carry out scanning of laser beams 7 along two-dimensional directions on orthogonal coordinates or cylindrical coordinates by reflection from first mirrors 31 that oscillate on rotation axes 30 that are perpendicular to transmission directions of the laser beams 7 that have been transmitted through dynamic focus lenses 2, and second mirrors 32 that oscillate on rotation axes 30 that are perpendicular to the rotation axes 30 of the first mirrors 31 and are in horizontal directions, with oscillation ranges freely adjustable based on control of an oscillation, and having freely selectable regions on a sintered surface 6 at the focal points of the laser beams 7 irradiated in slanted directions with respect to a surface of a table 4, or locations in their vicinity.
