A surface analysis method according to an embodiment includes: acquiring a force curve corresponding to measurement of a sample surface by a scanning probe microscope; calculating a physical quantity of an organic material forming the sample surface based on the force curve, for each of an observation point group; and outputting analysis data indicating the physical quantity of each of the observation point group. The acquiring the force curve includes acquiring the force curve at each of a plurality of observation points on a Y-column extending along a X-direction (a direction along which the probe reciprocates with respect to a stage). The calculating the physical quantity includes: generating a force curve matrix indicating the force curve at each of the plurality of observation points; and calculating the physical quantity at each of the plurality of observation points using the force curve matrix.

There are provided a heat exchange apparatus and an air conditioner in which an occurrence of uneven refrigerant distribution of a heat exchanger is reduced such that heat exchange performance improves. The heat exchange apparatus includes: a heat-transfer pipe through which a refrigerant flows; a heat exchanger in which a plurality of the heat-transfer pipes are connected to one another; a distributor that distributes the refrigerant to the plurality of heat-transfer pipes; an inflow pipe that causes the refrigerant to flow into the distributor; and a confluent pipe which is connected to an intermediate position of the inflow pipe and in which the refrigerant flowing through an inside thereof is to merge with the refrigerant flowing through an inside of the inflow pipe. A merging part between the inflow pipe and the confluent pipe is positioned in the vicinity of the distributor.
