Provided is a method for producing a layered product, the layered product comprising a substrate having a three-dimensional surface; and a metal-based particle assembly layer arranged on the three-dimensional surface and comprising a plurality of metal-based particles arranged apart from each other, the method comprising the step of forming the metal-based particle assembly layer on the three-dimensional surface by immersing the substrate in a plating solution containing a cation of a metal constituting the metal-based particles to reduce the cation, wherein a V.sub.S/V.sub.L ratio of volume V.sub.S [cm.sup.3] of the substrate to volume V.sub.L [cm.sup.3] of the plating solution is 0.03 or less.

The present invention provides a novel structure that can be used for a sensor element or the like and is useful as an enhancing element to enhance the emission of a luminescent substance. Provided is a composite particle comprising a core particle, and a metal-based particle assembly layer arranged on at least a portion of a surface of the core particle, wherein the metal-based particle assembly layer comprises a plurality of metal-based particles arranged apart from each other.

A surface treatment solution includes a fluoride source; a first solvent; and a water transforming agent to transform water produced during wafer surface treatment into a second solvent, which can be the same as, or different from, the first solvent. The solution can be used, for example, in surface preparation for wafers having a backend including an electrical interconnect that includes aluminum or an aluminum alloy.

An object of the invention is to provide a fishhook for fishing or the like, the fishhook being easily stuck to a fish or the like and being also excellent in durability. The surface of a fishhook is treated with a compound selected from the group consisting of a metallic surfactant having at least one or more hydroxyl groups or hydrolyzable groups, a fluorine-based surface treating agent, a thiol compound and a disulfide compound.

A laminate for a see-through electrode includes a transparent base and a metal layer that is provided on at least one of both surfaces of the transparent base. The metal layer has a first surface and a second surface, the first surface facing the transparent base, the second surface being at a side opposite to the first surface. And the second surface has a kurtosis (Rku) ranging from 1.00 to 3.10, inclusive.

Deposition of carbene monolayers that excluded starting anions, such as iodide ions, has been achieved. Anions such as iodide are a typical contaminant in carbene hydrogen carbonate salts when synthesized using the state-of-the-art method. A method is described for eliminating substantially all starting anion (e.g., iodide) contamination from the monolayer. Air stable, purified carbenes precursors were used to deposit an intact monolayer on the surface of some industrially relevant metals. The monolayer's ability to protect these metals against, for example, oxidation has been demonstrated.

The present disclosure provides a method for preparing a superhydrophobic surface of an aluminum alloy through laser peening, including the following steps: coating a surface of the aluminum alloy as an absorption layer with an organic component-containing confinement layer to obtain a coated aluminum alloy, where the organic component-containing confinement layer is a mixed organic solution including 5 mL to 10 mL of perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (FOTS), 100 mL to 200 mL of absolute ethanol, and 30 mL to 50 mL of distilled water; and subjecting a surface of the coated aluminum alloy to the laser peening to form the superhydrophobic surface.
