    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for generating layer aluminum fine particles and an application to a single electron tunneling quantum device. SOLUTION: Metal aluminum is supplied into mixed gas of helium and steam of 1×10 to 3×10 Torr by sputtering metal aluminum by discharging argon gas, aggregation is generated, then discharged into vacuum to generate single crystal covered on a surface layer with aluminum, thereby forming spherical metal aluminum fine particles (layered aluminum fine particles). The particles are carried on a flow of the helium gas, discharged into vacuum via an aperture, and deposited directly on a board to generate layered aluminum particles of a particle size of 5 to 500nm. The vicinity of an outlet of particle generation source is cooled by the nitrogen or a distance between an aluminum target and the aperture is set to 30 to 50mm, thereby generating the layered aluminum fine particles. Further, single electron tunneling quantum device element using the layered aluminum fine particles obtained by the method is set.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an aerogel firmly joined to a glass by dipping the glass on which the aerogel is to be produced in a soln. such as a hydrofluoric acid soln. capable of etching the glass surface, cleaning the glass, pouring a mixture liquid of the start source material for a wet gel onto the surface without exposing the glass surface to air to produce a wet gel, and then subjecting the wet gel to supercritical drying. SOLUTION: A glass is dipped in a soln. such as a hydrofluoric acid soln. or acid ammonium fluoride soln. which corrodes the glass surface, and then the glass is cleaned. Then without exposing the glass surface to air, a reaction liquid as an aerogel precursor is made to flow on the surface to cause gelation or polymn. on the glass surface to produce a wet gel adhered to the glass. Then the produced wet gel is subjected to supercritical drying. As for the reaction liquid as the aerogel precursor, for example, a mixture liquid of alkoxide silicate or its oligomer and water and alcohol is used, and if necessary, with addition of alkali or acid as a catalyst.
