Abstract:
A functional molecular element having a function controlled by an electric field on a new principle. In the functional molecular element (1), a Lewis base molecule (14) having a positive dielectric constant anisotropy or a dipole moment along the major axis of the molecule is provided in the form of a pendant to a linear or filmy foundation molecule (2) having a conjugated system and exhibiting a conductivity, with a metal ion (3) capable of acting as a Lewis acid interposed between the molecules. When a voltage is applied, the conformation is changed to exhibit the function. The molecules (2, 14) and the metal ion (3) form a complex. When an electric field is applied to the Lewis base molecule (14) in a direction, for example, perpendicular to the paper as shown in Fig. 1(b), the Lewis molecule (14) oscillates within the range of 90 degrees around a vertical axis in the paper plane. When an electric field is applied to the Lewis base molecule (14) in a vertical direction in the paper plane as shown in Fig. 1(c), the Lewis molecule (14) rocks around an axis perpendicular to the paper plane to switch on/off the conductivity of the conducting foundation molecule (2).

Abstract:
A functional molecule element capable of exerting its function under the action of electric field, including a compound comprising linear or membranous base axial molecule (2) having a conjugated system and exhibiting electric conductivity and, covalently bonded thereto, pendant molecule (3) of 4-pentyl-4’-cyanobiphenyl having a positive dielectric constant anisotropy or having a dipole moment in a long axis direction of the molecule, so that upon application of an electric field, the pendant molecule (3) assumes an orientation change to thereby induce a conformation change, resulting in switching of the conductivity of the conductive base axial molecule (2).
Abstract:
An area modulation element, which uses a functional molecule element changing the conformation of an organometallic complex being near to the shape of a disc through the application of an electric field, to thereby express a function, wherein the structure of the molecule of the organometallic complex and thus the area occupied thereby are changed by the application of an electric field. The area modulation element can change the area occupied by a molecule through various changes of the structure of the molecule by the control of the electric field applied thereto, and thus can be used for manufacturing a functional device such as an optical filter and an optical screen.
Abstract:
A magnetic recording medium having the outermost layer holding liquid crystal molecules of specified monocyclic, dicyclic and tricyclic structures as a lubricant; and a magnetic recorder/reproducer having a magnetic recording medium for recording information and a magnetic head for recording/reproducing information on/from the magnetic recording medium, wherein the minimum interval between the geometrical average planes of the magnetic recording medium and the magnetic head is 50 nm or less and liquid crystal molecules of specified structure are held as a lubricant in the outermost layer of the magnetic recording medium. The lubricant contains liquid crystal molecules having phase transition from the solid phase to the liquid phase and intermediate properties between liquid and solid. The lubricant can release the kinetic energy produced by sliding through phase transition. The magnetic recording medium and the magnetic recorder/reproducer can satisfy all the characteristics of durability against continuous sliding, low adhesiveness and high meniscoid force.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antireflection film capable of sufficiently reducing reflectance on an interface between a resist layer and a silicon semiconductor substrate, even if exposure light is made incident obliquely by one layer in a liquid immersion lithography technique, and to provide an exposure method. SOLUTION: The double layer structure antireflection film is used in exposing a resist layer in an exposure system having a wavelength of 190-195 nm and having a numerical aperture of 1.3-1.4, and is formed between the resist layer and a silicon nitride film formed on the surface of the silicon semiconductor substrate. When complex refractive indexes N 1 , N 2 of upper layer and lower layer constituting the antireflection film are expressed by the expressions; N 1 =n 1 -k 1 i, N 2 =n 2 -k 2 i, film thicknesses of the upper layer and lower layer are d 1 , d 2 and a predetermined combination is selected as the combination of values [n 10 , k 10 , d 10 , n 20 , k 20 , d 20 ], n 1 , k 1 , d 1 , n 2 , k 2 , d 2 satisfy the following relation: ä(n 1 -n 10 )/(n 1m -n 10 )} 2 +ä(k 1 -k 10 )/(k 1m -k 10 )} 2 +ä(d 1 -d 10 )/(d 1m -d 10 )} 2 +ä(n 2 -n 20 )/(n 2m -n 20 )} 2 +ä(k 2 -k 20 )/(k 2m -k 20 )} 2 +ä(d 2 -d 20 )/(d 2m -d 20 )} 2 ≤1.
