    Notes: Abstract The conditions of the formation of different magnetic structures with ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering in granular materials containing a subsystem of ferromagnetic granules are considered within the phenomenological approach. It is supposed that the magnetostatic field and the exchange interaction between conduction electrons and magnetic ions are responsible for the formation of magnetic structure.

    Notes: The structure and hyperfine fields of Fe1−xCrx (x=0.0236–0.803) nanoparticles (average size of 27±2 nm) are studied at room temperature by combined x-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy techniques. They are produced by fast evaporation of bulk alloys at 3 Torr Ar pressure. The bulk alloys of any composition are shown to exhibit a bcc structure, whereas the nanoparticles demonstrate a mixture of bcc and tetragonal σ phases in the Cr range from 24.4 to 83.03 at. %. At the Cr content of 2.36 at. % the lattice constant for nanoparticles is larger than that of the bulk alloy, though the values of hyperfine fields on Fe nuclei do not differ. The Mössbauer spectrum of nanoparticles contains an oxide doublet in addition to the sextet specific to that of the bulk alloy. In both cases the width of the sextet lines is rather narrow. However, even at ∼8 at. % Cr the lines of the sextet are broadened so much that it can be decomposed by two-three components. This is explained by freezing the high-temperature ferromagnetic fcc phase regions in the bcc lattice. As the Cr content increases, the Mössbauer spectra become more complex, transforming finally into a paramagnetic singlet. A complete ferromagnetic→paramagnetic transition is observed for the bulk alloy at 68 at. % Cr and for nanoparticles at 35 at. % Cr. The results are discussed under the assumption that at high temperatures the alloys are not homogeneous and exhibit fluctuations of the composition. With decrease of temperature these fluctuations result in decomposition of the alloy into two phases for nanoparticles whereas they are frozen at the cluster level in the bulk alloys holding a macroscopic homogeneity. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Photoluminescence (PL) spectra and time-resolved PL data from AlGaAs/GaAs superlattice structures containing thin InAs layers of about 1–3 monolayer grown on semi-insulating (001)-oriented GaAs substrates at lowered temperatures are studied. The size distribution of InAs quantum dots (QDs) among different families (modes) is controlled by variation of growth temperature and/or growth interruption. We demonstrate the stabilization of the PL magnitude caused by strong coupling between different modes and the full width at half maximum of "large size" QD modes within a certain temperature interval (50–150 K) due to feeding of the radiative transitions from nonradiative decay and carrier transfer arising from decaying excitonic states of the small size QD modes. Strong competition between different channels of ground state relaxation leads to an oscillating dependence of the PL transient for the small size QD mode. Efficient inter- and intramode tunneling rules out "bottleneck restrictions" for the PL. The parameters of intra- and intermode tunneling are determined from time-resolved PL. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Cesium recovery from the polluted layers in the 1/3 scale hydrogen negative ion source for LHD-NBI system has tested. It was found that the cesium recovery can be produced by additional discharges as from the cesium layer, aged by tungsten and residual gas, so as from the cesium layers, polluted by an occasional water leak. The highest cesium recovery to negative ion production was produced by a xenon arc, while glow discharge and arcing in hydrogen were less effective. The mechanism of recovery is the ejection of cesium from the underlying enriched layer by the arc and its transport to the surface. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The compact negative ion source having a semiplanotron discharge geometry and the two independently heated LaB6 cathode inserts was developed and studied. The hot LaB6 cathode insert supports discharge ignition and operation at low hydrogen pressure, while the cold one provides the glow discharge concentration in its vicinity. The stable production of H− beams with the current density in the emission hole in the range of about 0.1 A/cm2 was obtained in the pure hydrogen discharge. Negative ion yield at the different parts of the composite source cathode was measured. It was maximal in the glow region. An enhanced H− yield was recorded due to discharge concentration near the LaB6 inserts. LaB6 with a decreased work function does not produce a sizable income of surface-produced negative ions to the beam, extracted from the pure hydrogen discharge. The use of LaB6 inserts as a reliable source of electrons to form the discharge simplifies the surface-plasma source use. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The study of negative ion production in the multicusp negative ion sources (MS) was done by the directed deposition of well-defined amount of cesium into MS, by the cesium recovery from the polluted layers in the MS and by the plasma grid masking. The data obtained evidences the surface-plasma mechanism of negative ion production in the MS. It is shown that a dynamic cesium-tungsten coverage on a plasma grid surface provides the enhanced H− production in the MS. The Cs+W coverage is produced on the hot plasma grid surface due to coadsorption of cesium and of tungsten, evaporated from filaments. The permanent flux of cesium to plasma grid coverage is produced by the thick Cs+W reservoir with a high (75%) percentage of cesium on the cold anode surface. A relatively high cesium seed with a rate of about 20 mg/1 h/30 shots operation is necessary to support the increased H− production in the regular MS. Electrode processing by an additional discharge recovers the cesium from the aged coverage and enhances the H− production without an additional cesium seed. Recovery processing permits the use of deposited cesium more efficiently and to minimize cesium addition during the MS long-term operation. An essential decrease of cesium escape to accelerator and an improvement of injector high voltage operation is produced by introducing the shutter mask at plasma grid surface. The shutter mask experiment displayed, that 〉60% of H− beam current was born on the hot shutter mask surface. The source operation with a high negative shutter mask biasing and an increased hydrogen pressure resulted in a 35% higher H− yield, than of regular MS. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Although Group IV cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) in astrocytes has been implicated in a number of neurodegenerative diseases, mechanisms leading to its activation and release of arachidonic acid (AA) have not been clearly elucidated. In primary murine astrocytes, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and ATP stimulated phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and cPLA2 as well as evoked AA release. However, complete inhibition of phospho-ERK by U0126, an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK), did not completely inhibit PMA-stimulated cPLA2 and AA release. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) also stimulated phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and cPLA2[largely through a protein kinase C (PKC)-independent pathway], but EGF did not evoke AA release. These results suggest that phosphorylation of cPLA2 due to phospho-ERK is not sufficient to evoke AA release. However, complete inhibition of ATP-induced cPLA2 phosphorylation and AA release was observed when astrocytes were treated with GF109203x, a general PKC inhibitor, together with U0126, indicating the important role for both PKC and ERK in mediating the ATP-induced AA response. There is evidence that PMA and ATP stimulated AA release through different PKC isoforms in astrocytes. In agreement with the sensitivity of PMA-induced responses to PKC down-regulation, prolonged treatment with PMA resulted in down-regulation of PKCα and ε in these cells. Furthermore, PMA but not ATP stimulated rapid translocation of PKCα from cytosol to membranes. Together, our results provided evidence for an important role of PKC in mediating cPLA2 phosphorylation and AA release in astrocytes through both ERK1/2-dependent and ERK1/2-independent pathways.

    Notes: Endogenous or exogenous β-carboline (βC) derivatives structurally related to the selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and its active metabolite 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) may contribute to dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). We addressed the importance of the dopamine transporter (DAT) for selective dopaminergic toxicity by testing the differential cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of 12 βCs in human embryonic kidney HEK-293 cells ectopically expressing the DAT gene. Cell death was measured using [4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and trypan blue exclusion assays, and uptake by a fluorescence-based uptake assay. All βCs and MPP+ showed general cytotoxicity in parental HEK-293 cells after 72 h with half-maximal toxic concentrations (TC50 values) in the upper micromolar range. Besides MPP+, only 2[N]-methylated compounds showed enhanced cytotoxicity in DAT expressing HEK-293 cells with 1.3- to 4.5-fold reduction of TC50 values compared with parental cell line. The rank order of selectivity was: MPP+ 〉〉 2[N],9[N]-dimethyl-harminium 〉 2[N]-methyl-harminium 〉 2[N],9[N]-dimethyl-harmanium = 2[N]-methyl-norharmanium 〉 2[N]-methyl-harmanium 〉 2[N],9[N]-dimethyl-norharminium. Consistently, only 2[N]-methylated βCs were transported into the cell through the DAT with up to five times greater Km and 12–220 times smaller Vmax values compared with dopamine and MPP+. There was a weak relation of DAT-mediated selectivity with the affinity of βCs at the DAT (Km), but not with Vmax. Our data suggest that DAT-mediated cellular uptake of 2[N]-methylated βCs represents a potential mechanism for selective toxicity towards dopaminergic neurons and may be relevant for the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.

    Notes: Time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) from InAs/GaAs quantum dots with a bimodal size distribution is used to investigate the dynamic carrier-transfer processes which couple transfer between similarly sized quantum dots and between quantum dots in different size categories. The relationship between the decay time and the emission energy appears staircaselike and the energetic positions of the steps as well as the shape can be correlated to the shape of the steady-state PL emission through a rate-equation theory. These results show how transient PL can be used to investigate the dynamics of carrier transfer in quantum-dot systems. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
