Abstract: An electron source 10 has an n-type silicon substrate 1, a drift layer 6
formed on one surface of the substrate 1, and a surface electrode 7 formed on
the drift layer 6. A voltage is applied so that the surface electrode 7
becomes positive in polarity relevant to the substrate 1, whereby electrons
injected from the substrate 1 into the drift layer 6 drift within the drift layer
6, and are emitted through the surface electrode 7. In a process for
manufacturing this electron source 10, when the drift layer 6 is formed, a
porous semiconductor layer containing a semiconductor nanocrystal is
formed in accordance with anodic oxidation. Then, an insulating film is
formed on the surface of each semiconductor nanocrystal. Anodic oxidation
is carried out while emitting light that essentially contains a wavelength in a
visible light region relevant to the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: A 4-point contact ball bearing includes four ring-shaped
contact surfaces (6-9) for forming a ring-shaped raceway between them.
Each ring-shaped contact surface has a sectional profile defined
by a concave curve when cut along a plane including a central axis
of rotation of each ball and a central axis of rotation of the ring-shaped
raceway. The concave curve is shaped so that it
circumscribes the balls and that a radius of curvature thereof is
largest at a ball-contact point and is gradually decreased moving
away from the ball-contact point. By defining such raceway
surfaces, fluctuations in the contact points between the balls and
the raceway surfaces due to machining errors can be suppressed,
rotational slipping of the balls can be reduced, and differential slip
between the balls and the raceway surfaces can also be reduced.
