Abstract: A top-blowing lance nozzle is configured to freely switch an adequate expansion condition so as to control an oxygen-blowing amount and a jetting velocity independently of each other without requiring a plurality of lance nozzles or a mechanically movable part. A lance nozzle is configured to blow refining oxygen to molten iron charged in a reaction vessel while a gas is blown from a top-blowing lance to the molten iron. One or more blowing holes for blowing a working gas are on an inner wall side surface of the nozzle, at a site where the lance nozzle has a minimum cross-sectional area in a nozzle axis direction or at a neighboring site of the site.

Abstract: Provided are a fluorescent member that has high thermal conductivity, can prevent an increase in temperature of a fluorescent layer, and can maintain their fluorescence performance even during irradiation with high-intensity source light, and a light-emitting device using the fluorescent member. A transmissive-type wavelength conversion member 100 converts light with a wavelength in a specific range to light with a different wavelength and allows light passing through the wavelength conversion member to be used as illuminating light. The wavelength conversion member 100 includes: a substrate 110 that is formed of an inorganic material and allows light to pass through; and a fluorescent material layer 120 disposed on the substrate 110. The fluorescent material layer 120 includes fluorescent material particles 122 that absorb light and emit converted light and a light-transmitting ceramic 121 that bonds the fluorescent material particles 122 together.

Abstract: The invention provides a wavelength conversion member which can draw heat efficiently away from a region that is prone to generating heat under irradiation of light with a high energy density and which can suppress the thermal quenching of phosphor, and provides a method for manufacturing such wavelength conversion members, and a light-emitting device having such a wavelength conversion member.

Abstract: The invention provides a wavelength conversion member and a light emitting device which each has a reduced proportion of voids and transmits less source light without causing a decrease in light conversion efficiency offered by phosphor particles having a large particle size. A wavelength conversion member 100 is configured to convert light with a specific wavelength to light with other wavelength, and includes a substrate 110 including an inorganic material, and a phosphor layer 120 joined to the substrate 110 and including phosphor particles 122 that absorb light and emit converted light and a translucent ceramic 121 that binds the phosphor particles 122 to one another. The phosphor particles 122 include two kinds of particles each having a designated particle size distribution.
