Nano-sized quantum dots (QDs) of group-III nitride semiconductors have attracted

considerable attention, because of their promising applications to optoelectronic and
electronic devices. To fabricate III-nitridate dots by self-assembly, the Stranski–-
Krastanovw (SK) growth mode [1–-3] or an anti-surfactant [4] has generally been utilized.
Recently, the droplet epitaxy technique has been applied to the fabrication of nitridate dot
structures [5–-7]. Unlike the S-K method, the droplet epitaxy growth method does not
require a lattice mismatch constraint, and thereforewhich permits the growth of QDs whose
composition is completely uncorrelated with that of the growth substrate. In additionAlso,
growth by droplet epitaxy has similarityis similar to the liquid phase epitaxial growth mode,
which may improve the crystal quality of dots grown by this method. To date, we have
fabricated nano-sized GaN dot structures on nitridated Si(111) by droplet epitaxy using an
rf plasma nitrogen source, and examined the effects of the amount of supplied Ga supplied
on both the size and density of the dots [8]. However, the effect of pre-treatment for of the
Si substrate on GaN dot structures grown by droplet epitaxy has never been investigated
enough, although the surface structure and composition should beis strongly related to the

structure of grown GaN dots. In this study, we fabricated GaN dots on

both nitridated and oxidized Si substrates by droplet epitaxy using an rf plasma nitrogen
source and investigated the effects of the substrate surface on the dot size and density of
the dots. Our results show that the dot size and density of the dots are affected by the pre-
treatment of the substrates.

A continuous dynamical system has hybrid characteristics, when there is discrete state
transition in the system caused by switch operation. A switch operation in a hybrid system
induces many kinds of non-linear phenomena, even if the system dynamics to the
respective switch conditions are linear and continuous. Power electronics is the technology
to realize power conversion by means of switching operation with power semiconductor
devices. Then, the system with power electronics apparatus can be regarded as a hybrid
system.
The conditions for switch operation differ among types of power semiconductor switching
devices. The switch operation of diode depends on the device voltage and current, hence
the state is uncontrollable. The gate voltage determines the switch state for a power
MOSFET and an IGBT. Therefore, their states are fully controllable by gate drive. Thyristor is
a semi controllable device, whose turn-on operation is driven by a gate pulse, but turn-off is
determined by the device voltage and current. Therefore, a voltage of power system as
external periodic excitation or a forced commutation circuit is requisite for a thyristor power
conversion circuit. High power thyristor with high voltage and large current ratings were
brought to realization, and they are used in a power electronics apparatuses connected to a
power system.

Abstruct：　A helmet for baseball is one of the important tools for preventing the injury by
the hit by a pitch to man's head. Although the evaluations of impact performance of a
helmet for baseball have been studied, the change of impact performance of helmet by the
repeat impact of baseball ball has not been studied. This reason is that the helmet which got
a big impact once is not used even if there is no damage in appearance. However, when
the damage of helmet cannot be distinguished from appearance, there is a possibility that
the shocked helmet is re-used. In this study, the baseball ball launcher was produced, the
repeat impact experiment with a helmet and a ball was conducted, and the effect of the
number of times of impact on the acceleration which acts on man's head was considered.
