    Notes: We investigated the formation process of cross-hatch patterns (CHPs) and the lattice relaxation process in the growth of an (InAs)1(GaAs)4 strained short-period superlattice (SSPS) and an In0.2Ga0.8As alloy layer on GaAs(100) substrates. By using x-ray diffraction and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, it was found that the lattice relaxation in the (InAs)1(GaAs)4SSPS proceeded as fast as that in the In0.2Ga0.8As alloy layer. The surfaces of the grown layers showed CHPs, and the surface roughness increased by means of the evolution of the CHPs. The surface roughness of the SSPSs was larger than that of the alloy layers, whereas no apparent difference was observed in the lattice relaxation process between the SSPSs and the alloy layers. Additionally, the height of surface ridges parallel to the [01¯1] direction was higher than that parallel to the [011] direction. We observed the distribution of highly strained InAs and GaAs islands on the surfaces of strained InGaAs layers by using an atomic force microscope. As a result, it was clarified that the InAs islands were accumulated on top of the surface ridges, whereas the GaAs islands were distributed uniformly on the surface of strained InGaAs layer. It was considered that the nonuniform incorporation of In atoms during growth of layers contributes mainly to the evolution of CHPs in the InGaAs-on-GaAs heteroepitaxy. We propose a developmental model of CHPs based on the surface diffusion of the In atoms. In this model, the asymmetry of CHPs was well understood by anisotropy in surface diffusion length of In atoms. Additionally, it was clarified that the evolution of CHPs in the growth of InGaAs at a high temperature can be suppressed by growing a fully relaxed InGaAs layer at a low temperature before the high-temperature growth. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: (Zn1−yMgy)1−xAlxO powders were synthesized by the polymerized complex method and then consolidated by spark plasma sintering apparatus. The microscopic structure and thermoelectric properties were examined comparing with the experimental results of the samples prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. A small amount of ZnAl2O4 spinel phase as the second phase was observed in the sintered samples with x≥0.02 by x-ray diffraction and a scanning electron microscope. The grain size of the samples prepared by the polymerized complex method is much smaller than that of the samples prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The absolute values of the Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity decrease with increasing x up to about x=0.01, but above x=0.01 they are almost independent of x. This result indicates that the solubility limit of Al in Zn1−xAlxO is about x=0.01, which is also confirmed by 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. At a fixed composition of x, the absolute values of the Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity for the samples prepared by the polymerized complex method are smaller than those for the samples prepared by the solid-state reaction method, which indicates that the doping of the carrier into the material can be more easily realized in the samples prepared by the polymerized complex method. The thermal conductivity decreases with increasing x, but the further suppression of the thermal conductivity was attained by the additional substitution on the Zn site by Mg. The Seebeck coefficient of (Zn1−yMgy)1−xAlxO is almost independent of Mg content y, but the electrical resistivity increases with increasing y. As a result, (Zn0.90Mg0.10)0.9975Al0.0025O shows a maximum dimensionless figure of merit of 0.10 at 1073 K. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have developed a subpicosecond nondegenerate pump-probe spectrometer based on the optical sampling technique using a combination of asynchronous tunable femtosecond lasers. Owing to its simple instrumentation, time evolution of subpicosecond to nanosecond excited molecular processes in solution and of exciton relaxation processes in semiconductor multiple quantum wells has been detected on an oscilloscope by an effective time base magnification of 760 000 times. Fast acquisition of the temporal profiles and ease of wavelength scanning allowed compilation of time-resolved absorption and excitation spectra. A possible extention of the spectrometer with one of the light sources being a synchrotron radiation instead of the femtosecond laser is discussed. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is characterized by IgA autoantibodies against components of the basement membrane zone (BMZ). A 97-kDa protein is one of the major autoantigens associated with this disease. We report a 68-year-old man who developed LABD after a 3-year history of psoriasis and in the context of active hepatitis C virus infection. He had been treated with cyclosporin for psoriasis for about 9 months. Histologically, there was a subepidermal blister containing neutrophils and eosinophils with lymphocytes infiltrating predominantly in the dermis. Direct immunofluorescent staining showed linear IgA deposition at the BMZ. The patient’s IgA autoantibodies bound exclusively to the epidermal side of 1 mol/L salt-split normal human skin. Immunoblot analysis identified a 97-kDa autoantigen in epidermal extracts. This appears to be the first case of LABD with IgA autoantibodies against a 97-kDa autoantigen, associated with psoriasis and hepatitis C virus infection.

    Notes: We applied multistrained short-period superlattices (SSPSs) and GaP buffer layers to the InP-on-Si heteroepitaxy, in order to suppress the generation of threading dislocations. As a result, it was found that the density of threading dislocations in an InP/SSPSs/GaAs/SSPSs/GaP/Si structure including (InAs)m(GaAs)n SSPSs and (GaAs)i(GaP)j SSPSs was remarkably reduced, compared with that in the InP/GaP/Si structure. Misfit dislocations lying along the 〈011〉 directions were observed at heterointerfaces in the InP/SSPSs/GaAs/SSPSs/GaP/Si structure. Therefore, the lattice mismatch strain was stepwise accommodated by the generation of misfit dislocations at the heterointerfaces. From these results, it was clarified that multi-SSPSs are effective for reducing the density of threading dislocations in heteroepitaxy with a large lattice mismatch. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Sixty soybean cultivars from Japan and the USA formed five maturity groups (IIb-Vc) based on number of days from sowing to flowering and number of days from flowering to maturity. Highly significant intervarietal differences in fatty acid composition were found in all the maturity groups, especially in IIc. Stearic and oleic acids showed a larger variation than palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acids. Principal component analysis suggested that the total variation of fatty acid composition depended mainly on the desaturation levels from oleic to linoleic acid. Three cultivars exhibiting unique fatty acid composition, together with a standard cultivar, were examined for the contents of the five fatty acids, as well as crude oil at eight seed-filling stages. For all four cultivars, it was found that crude oil content increased sigmoidally with advancing filling stage, and that the accumulation patterns of palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acids were similar to that of crude oil. However, the accumulation pattern of stearic acid was different from that of crude oil and divided the cultivars into two distinct groups. For oleic acid, only the cultivar ‘Aburamame’ showed a rapid increase in proportion with advancing filling stage, although not differing markedly in accumulated content from the other cultivars. These results indicate that analysing the accumulation patterns of fatty acids could explain the latent genetic variation in fatty acid composition of soybean seeds.

    Notes: Vertebral deformities were investigated in cultured red sea bream, Pagrus major. In the field, deformities in seedlings were categorized and their incidence was calculated. In the laboratory, the symptoms of major vertebral deformities were examined morphologically using radiographs and by making transparent skeletal specimens. The internal structure of deformed vertebrae was examined histologically. The shortened body condition had the highest incidence (0.9–8.3%) of all deformities in the seedlings. In individuals with the shortened body condition, the ratio of trunk and caudal part length to body height was smaller. These fish had skeletal anomalies in the vertebrae, mainly centrum defects (64.3%) or undersized centrums (25.2%). The specimens with centrum defects had a characteristic anomaly in the vertebrae, with plural pairs of neural and haemal spines on a single centrum. This anomaly was frequently observed in the posterior abdominal vertebrae. The internal skeletal structure of such abnormal centrums was basically the same as that of normal centrums. In all the specimens with undersized centrums, both the centrum length and diameter were shorter than normal except for the first and second centrum, and urostyle.

    Notes: Background It has been reported that the toxins that Staphylococcus aureus produces are associated with the exacerbation of atopic dermatitis (AD). It has been shown in many studies that staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) A and SEB contribute to AD by humoral immunity through IgE production as a superantigen. On the other hand, little attention has been paid to the relationship between AD and exfoliative toxin x (ETx).Objective We investigated the toxins that are frequently detected from the skin of patients and how these toxins affect AD.Methods S. aureus, isolated from the skin of 100 patients with mild to severe AD, were examined for the producibility of toxins by polymerase chain reaction. Serum samples were obtained from 21 patients with mild and moderate AD. The levels of SEB, ETA, total IgE, specific IgE, and specific IgG in sera were measured by ELISA.Results SEB was most frequently detected from S. aureus on the skin of these patients as previously reported. And ETx, to which little attention has been paid so far, was frequently detected next to SEB. Furthermore, ETA was detected from the sera of almost all the AD patients. SEB was not detected at all. Although the level of ETA in the AD group was significantly higher than that of controls, ETA-specific IgE was not detected from their sera. High levels of ETA tended to be detected from infantile patients. Although there were no significant differences in the levels of ETA-IgG between AD and the controls, its prevalence was more than twice as high as the controls in AD.Conclusion These results suggest that many AD patients were exposed to ETx. We conclude that ETx may contribute to exacerbation of AD, particularly in infants, by a mechanism that is not through specific IgE production, unlike SEB.
