Development of a He/CdI2 gas-jet system coupled to a surface-ionization type ion-source in JAEA-ISOL: towards determination of the first ionization potential of Lr (Z = 103)
We report on development of a gas-jet transport system coupled to a surface ionization ion-source in the JAEA-ISOL (Isotope Separator On-Line) system. As a new aerosol material for the gas-jet system, CdI2, which...

Electron Holographic Nano-Characterization of Gold Catalyst at Interface
The catalytic properties of nanostructured gold catalyst are known to depend on the size of the gold particles and to be activated when the size decreases to a few nanometers. We investigated the size dependen...

Nanoscale characterization of Pd/TiO2 catalysts and Ag/TiO2 catalysts by electron holography
Catalytic properties of noble metal catalysts are often caused by their nanostructures and the interaction between nano particles and oxides supports. We examine the mean inner potential of Pd particles in Pd/TiO
