The superconducting temperature T<sub>c</sub> for MgB<sub>2</sub>, C<sub>8</sub>K ≡ KC<sub>8</sub>, CaC<sub>6</sub>, are 39 K, 0.6 K, 11.5 K, respectively. The differences arise from the lattice structures. In the plane perpendicular to the c-axis, B’s form a honeycomb lattice with the nearest neighbour distance while Mg’s form a base-hexagonal lattice with the nearest neighbour distance above and below the B-plane distanced by . The more compact B-plane becomes superconducting due to the electron-phonon attraction. Starting with the generalized Bardeen- Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) Hamiltonian and solving the generalized Cooper equation, we obtain a linear dispersion relation for moving Cooper pairs. The superconducting temperature T<sub>c</sub> identified as the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature of the Cooper pairs in two dimensions is given by , where is the Cooper pair density, the Boltzmann constant. The lattices of KC<sub>8</sub> and CaC<sub>6</sub> are clearly specified.展开更多

The present study clarified the effects of water flow volume on the identification and quantitative evaluation of bacteria found around spouts in the 17 hand-washing stations. Pseu-domonas aeruginosa was detected from 4 sta-tions before adjustment and 2 after adjustment. Although no significant difference was identified in the detection rate of P. aeruginosa (p = 0.368), when combining P. aeruginosa and glucose non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli (NFB), the number of stations with P. aeruginosa and/or NFB decreased significantly from 15 before adjustment to 9 after adjustment (p = 0.023). Before adjust-ment, quantity of bacteria was “2+” for 3 stations and “1+” for 7 stations, but was “1+” for 3 stations and “2+” for 0 stations after adjustment. These results show that quantity of bacteria could be reduced from spouts by adjusting flow volume. These results were also supported by experiments for cleanliness using Adenosine 5’-triphosphate bioluminescence me- thod.展开更多
