Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Ultrasonic atomization has been utilized as an inhaler and a humidifier since it can generate mist with particle size of several $\muup$m or around 10~$\muup$m without elevating temperature. However, it is difficult to produce a large amount of fine mist, because there is an inverse proportionality between the driving frequency and the particle size. High frequency transducer of MHz region can produce fine mist, but its radiation surface is too small to process a large volume. Until now, various studies have been performed for increasing the volume with keeping the samll particle size. In this report, we investigated an ultrasonic atomization principle using a small gap between a vibrating surface and a rigid wall. The particle size in the method is determined mainly by the gap and is smaller than that in the conventional dependence on the driving frequency. A relationship between the gap and the particle size is experimentally studied in the prototype. A large volume of small particles of around 10~$\muup$m of diameter can be produced by the vibrating gap even at lower frequencies in several 10~kHz.
