We determine the (non-)triviality of Samelson products of inclusions of factors of the mod p decomposition of $G_{(p)}$ for $(G,p)=(E_7,5),(E_7,7),(E_8,7)$. This completes the determination of the (non-)triviality of those Samelson products in p-localized exceptional Lie groups when G has p-torsion-free homology.

Single-crystalline films of superconducting Sr1-xKxFe2As and Ba1-xKxFe2As2 were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The most crucial problem in MBE growth of these compounds is the high volatility of elemental K. The key to incorporating K into films is low-temperature growth (≤ 350 ºC) in reduced As flux. We performed a systematic study of the doping dependence of Tc in Ba1-xKxFe2As2 for x = 0.0 to 1.0. The highest Tcon (Tcend) so far attained for Ba1-xKxFe2As2 is 38.3 K (35.5 K) at x ~ 0.3.

Ge and Zn atoms were introduced into the unirradiated regions of Si at 150°C and GaAs wafers at 50°C, respectively by using the electron-beam doping method. The surfaces of Si and GaAs substrates were covered partially by the overlayers of Ge and Zn sheets, respectively. The only surfaces of the Ge and Zn sheets were irradiated locally. with high energy electrons at 7MeV with the fluences of 5×1017 – 1×1018 electrons cm-2 . Even at a distance of ~10mm from the irradiated overlayers in the Si and GaAs substrates, Ge and Zn atoms respectively, whose interstitials may migrate the unirradiated regions, were detected by SIMS measurements. PL signal due to band-to-acceptor (ZnGa ) transition at 1.48eV becomes observable after annealing at 800°C for 20mm in the unirradiated GaAs region, which is separated from Zn sheet by nearly 10mm.
