Abstract: A sheet material has structures of graphene oxide and graphene in which the graphene oxide and the graphene are chemically connected and coexist to form a plane such that the plane is divided into a region of the graphene oxide and a region of the graphene. A method of reduction of graphene oxide includes providing a sheet material having at least one atomic layer of graphene oxide and a femtosecond laser apparatus that can emit a femtosecond laser shot in a controlled manner. A pulse shape and intensity of an electric field formed by the laser shot are tuned so that the laser shot can be emitted onto a region of the graphene oxide sheet in a controlled manner to selectively cause reduction of the graphene oxide of the region.

Abstract: The present invention provides a vertical magnetic field MRI apparatus which is capable of speeding up imaging for taking an image of any cross section of a wide area such as a total body, while suppressing increase of the number of channels and maintaining high sensitivity in a deep portion of a subject.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of selectively extracting metallic armchair carbon nanotubes alone from the mixture of carbon nanotubes of mixed chiralities, wherein vacant lattice defects are removed from armchair carbon nanotubes alone using the fact that the vacant lattice defects of zigzag carbon nanotubes are hard to diffuse in the axial direction of nanotubes compared with those of armchair carbon nanotubes. Since vacant lattice defects remaining on zigzag carbon nanotubes are active, the tube structures are easily destroyed and decomposed by oxidation etc. Thus it is possible to extract armchair carbon nanotubes alone from the mixture of carbon nanotubes of mixed chiralities.

Abstract: This invention provides a receiving coil that allows a high-quality image of high depth sensitivity to be obtained during vertical magnetic field MRI without limiting selection of a cross section to be imaged and of a phase-encoding axis. A subject's field of view is broadened without deterioration of the coil characteristics. Two orthogonal solenoid coils (3-1 and 4-1) and sub-coils (5-1, 6-1, and 7-1) whose sensitivity distributions each become an odd function in an x-direction, a y-direction, and a z-direction, respectively, with respect to the origin of the sensitivity distribution of each of the solenoid coils are used as multiple sub-coils to construct the receiving coil. This receiving coil is suitable for a high-speed imaging method in which an image is acquired using reduced phase encoding and the image is reconstructed using image folding. In addition, the subject's field of view can be broadened by arranging conductors of the coil appropriately.

Abstract: A vertical magnetic field type MRI apparatus is capable of high-speed-imaging a large cross section such as a whole human body while suppressing an increase in the number of channels and maintaining sensitivity to a deep portion of a subject to be high. A receiving coil is composed of a plurality of sub coils. A first sub coil (3-1) of the receiving coil is arranged in a first plane (1001) including an axis substantially parallel to the direction of a static magnetic field and forms a first current loop around the surface of the subject. A second sub coil (5-1) of the receiving coil is constituted by a pair of conductor loops (5-2, 5-3) that sandwich the subject in the vicinities of the surface of the subject and are arranged substantially symmetrically each other. The conductor loops have respective cross points (5-4, 5-5). The conductor loops are arranged with the first sub coil to ensure that the cross points are located in the first plane in which the current loop of the first sub coil is provided.

Abstract: This invention provides a process for preparing a reactive graphite-like layered material with high chemical reactivity while maintaining stability of a base material. In the preparation process according to this invention, first, the treatment for reducing the number of dangling bonds in the vicinity of the vacancy to form an introducing site is conducted by binding atoms together with each other, which atoms are adjacent to a vacancy in a graphite-like layered material. Then, atoms 3 and 4 to be introduced, i.e., a diatomic molecule made of atoms constituting the graphite-like layered material are introduced into the introducing site formed in advance. Then, new bonds are generated between introduced atoms 3, 4 and the graphite-like layered material.
