We fabricated supersmooth probes for use in pin-on-disk sliding tests by applying gas cluster ion beam irradiation to glass convex lenses. In the fabrication process, various changes were made to the irradiation conditions; these included one-step irradiation of Ar clusters or two-step irradiation of Ar and N2clusters, with or without Ar cluster-assisted tough carbon deposition prior to N2irradiation, and the application of various ion doses onto the surface. We successfully obtained probes with a centerline averaged surface roughness that ranged widely from 1.08 to 4.30 nm. Using these probes, we measured the friction forces exerted on magnetic disks coated with a molecularly thin lubricant film. Perfluoropolyether lubricant films with different numbers of hydroxyl end groups were compared, and our results indicated that the friction force increases as the surface roughness of the pin decreases and that increases as the number of hydroxyl end groups increases.

In order to fabricate biosensors with high sensitivity, the diatom Coscinodiscus excentricus was cultured on a microfluidic chip made with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), then the organic matter of diatom cells was removed and only diatom frustules were left, after which the cleaned frustules were bonded onto the bottom of the PDMS micro chamber by ultraviolet irradiation. The overview and the detailed morphology of the frustules in the chamber were analyzed by SEM, and the ultraviolet irradiation bonding mechanism of diatom with PDMS was discussed. Finally, the diatom based microfluidic chip was tested with the fluorescein-labeled protein; and the result showed that the fluorescence intensity of the diatom is 4 times stronger compared with that of the blank regions.
