Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to topological semi-metal (TSM) based spin-orbit torque (SOT) devices, and methods of forming a TSM layer. The TSM layer of the SOT device comprises YPtBi having a 1:1.02:1.05 stoichiometry to a 1:1.25:1.35 stoichiometry, such as a 1:1.11:1.13 stoichiometry. The TSM layer comprising about 10% less of Y compared to Pt and Bi increases the spin Hall angle (SHA) and the spin Hall conductivity. Increasing the Pt concentration ratio to greater than 1 enhances both the SHA and the spin Hall conductivity of the TSM layer by a factor of two, and further helps increase the YPtBi surface grain size, which in turn helps improve the interface spin transparency. Increasing the Bi/Y concentration ratio to greater than 1 approaching that of Pt enhances both the resistivity of the TSM layer and the effective SHA by a factor of two.

Abstract

A phase difference measuring method uses an atomic wave interferometer that separates an atomic wave by a first Raman beam, reflects the atomic wave by a second Raman beam, and separates again the atomic wave by a third Raman beam to make the atomic wave interfere. The method applies to the second Raman beam an offset phase and an oscillation phase having an amplitude β and an angular frequency ω to modulate a phase of the atomic wave. A number-of-atoms measuring apparatus measures an intensity signal I of an interfered atomic wave. An observed phase difference Φ is calculated from a ω component and a 2ω component of the intensity signal I and the amplitude β. The offset phase is subtracted from the observed phase difference Φ to calculate a measured phase difference. Feedback control is conducted for the offset phase such that cos Φ=−1.

Abstract

[PROBLEM] To provide a novel lactic acid bacterium capable of imparting stringiness to a fermented product. [Solution] In the present invention, it is found that a fermented product with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KY5-ES5 strain (accession number: NITE P-04000), which is a novel lactic acid bacterium isolated from Japanese pickles, has stringiness. This strain is examined by comparison with JCM1100 strain and JCM1149T strain, which are published strains of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, and 35 company-owned strains of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. As a result, it is surprisingly found that only a fermented product obtained by the culture with the KY5-ES5 strain exhibits high stringiness. On the basis of this finding, the KY5-ES5 strain is provided as a novel strain.

Abstract

The present invention is designed such that, even when inward currents cannot be calculated properly, it is possible to generate current waveforms that can appropriately evaluate the action of a target body tissue by calculating currents that are equivalent to inward currents. A biomagnetic field measurement system includes circuitry and a memory storing executable instructions which, when executed by the circuitry, cause the circuitry to: based on current components extracted from current signals calculated from a biomagnetic field signal, add up current waveforms of current components along a conduction pathway of an action current in a body tissue that is targeted for evaluation, and generate a current waveform for evaluating an intra-cellular current flowing in the conduction pathway, locations of the current components of the added current waveforms being predetermined set distances apart on the conduction pathway, in front of and behind a location of interest on the conduction pathway.
