SOLUTION: A metallic magnetic film 3 is formed as a continuous film on a non-magnetic supporting body 2 by a physical vapor deposition(PVD) of a ferromagnetic metallic material such as a Co-Cr alloy, etc. A protecting film 4 is formed and coated on the metallic magnetic film 3 by a chemical vapor phase deposition(CVD) o the like of carbon. A lubricant layer 5 contains a monoester monocarboxylic acid expressed by a formula as a lubricant. The lubricant dissolved in a hydrocarbon-based solvent is applied on the protecting film 4, thereby forming the lubricant layer. R1 is a fatty acid alkyl group or fatty acid alkenyl group and R2 is any one of a phloroalkyl group, a phloroalkenyl group and an aliphatic alkenyl group.

PURPOSE:To make it possible to manufacture metal contained fullerene with high efficiency by using an electrode available from the mixing and sintering of metals with easily graphitized carbon as a positive electrode and arc discharging the electrode inside a vacuum chamber and separating fullerene from the deposits. CONSTITUTION:A hole is bored in the center of a high purity graphite rod 3a and metal containing-carbon powder 3b is put into the hole, thereby producing a positive electrode 3 while the high purity graphite rod is used as a negative electrode. The positive and negative electrode 2 and 3 are installed in a chamber 1. Then, DC current is made to flow between the electrodes 2 and 3 from a DC power source 6 while the air in the chamber is being replaced with an inert gas. Then, arc discharging is produced between the electrodes 2 and 3 where soot called fullerene attaches to an inner wall 1a of the water-colled chamber. The removed soot is put into a quartz tube 8. While the inside the tube is being evacuated into high vacuum, the temperature is increased by using a heating device 9. A substance 10 sublimated from a filler 7 is cooled at the upper part of the quarts tube 8 and deposited. This construction makes it possible to provide metal lanthanum containing fullerene which is thermally stabilized.

The spheroidal carbon is given by Cn (n) is an integer out of 60, 70, 76, 84, or the like such that carbons can constitute a spherical compound). The organic semiconductive thin film has a molecular formula, (Cn+j)m ((j) is an integer ranging from -10 to 10, and (m) is a positive integer) and includes partly a Cn polymer structure, in which cyclohexatrienyl sites are joined through a cyclobutane ring in 1,2-cyclic additional combination. The Cn polymer structure is distributed over a thin film in an amorphous state. In this way, the organic conductive film is formed by plasma-polymerization using the fullerene as a sublimation source.

PURPOSE:To form a carbon hyperfine particle by allowing a carbonaceous material containing the carbon hyperfine particle having a concentric spherical graphite structure to be stuck to a counter electrode. CONSTITUTION:A pair of the high purity graphite made counter electrodes 12, 13 several mm to 50mm in diameter is arranged at 0.2-1.5cm interval in a water cooled vacuum chamber 11 and is arc-discharged in the presence of an inert gas such as He of 10-500Torr after evacuating. Carbon of the structural material of the positive electrode 13 is vaporized and is made plasma to form a soot like adhered material 15 on the inside wall surface of the chamber 11. The adhered material 15 is a spherical carbonaceous material containing a fullerene expressed by Cn ((n) is 60, 70, 76, 84). A carbon added body 16 is deposited over 2-3cm from the tip of the negative electrode 12 by about 20% of the negative electrode volume on the negative electrode 12 at the same time as producing the fullerene. The carbon hyperfine particle of nm order size having the concentric spherical graphite structure is obtained by disentangling the carbon added body with an ultrasonic vibration device or the like.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an area modulating element whose function is controlled with an electric field on the basis of new principles. SOLUTION: When an electric field is applied in parallel to (vertically on Figure) to the paper surface by using a functional molecule element, which develops a function by varying a conformation of a nearly disk-like organic metal complex molecule 1, the structure of the organic metal complex molecule changes and its occupation area varies. Thus, the molecule structure is variously changed by controlling the applied electric field to vary the occupation area of the molecule, thereby obtaining a functional device such as an optical screen and an optical screen.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a functional molecular element whose function is controlled by an electric field based on a new principle. SOLUTION: To a linear or filmy standard molecule 2 having a conjugated system and displaying electrical conductivity, a Lewis base molecule 14 having a positive dielectric constant anisotropy or having a dipole moment in a transverse direction of the molecule is arranged in the shape of a pendant through the aid of a metal ion 3 functional as a Lewis acid, thus forming a functional molecular element 1 that demonstrates its function while a conformation changes due to application of an electric field. The conductive standard molecule 2 and the Lewis base molecule 14 form the metal ion 3 and complex 6. For example, if the electric field is applied in a direction orthogonal to the paper as shown in figure (b), the Lewis base molecule 14 performs an oscillating motion of 90 o with the vertical direction of the paper as an axis. Further, if the electric field is applied in a vertical direction of the paper as shown in figure (c), it performs a seesaw movement with a direction orthogonal to the paper as an axis, switching the electric conductivity of the conductive standard molecule 2.
