    Notes: Metal plasma formed by a vacuum arc plasma source can be passed through a toroidal-section magnetic duct for the filtering of macroparticles from the plasma stream. In order to maximize the plasma transport efficiency of the filter the duct wall should be biased, typically to a positive voltage of about 10–20 V. In some cases it is not convenient to bias the duct, for example if the duct wall is part of the grounded vacuum system. However, a positively biased electrode inserted into the duct along its outer major circumference can serve a similar purpose. In this article, we describe our results confirming and quantifying this effect. We also show the parametric dependence of the duct transport on the experimental variables. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report on the low pressure metal organic chemical-vapor deposition of single crystal cubic GaN films over (100) GaAs substrates. Using photoluminescence and direct optical absorption measurements we estimate the band gap for c-GaN at room temperature to be 3.3 eV. Reflection high energy electron diffraction, x-ray, transmission electron microscopy, optical absorption, and room-temperature photoluminescence data are presented to establish the quality of a 0.8-μm-thick cubic GaN film over (100) GaAs substrate. Preliminary measurement results for the carrier density and mobility of the as-deposited c-GaN film are also presented. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report on the measurements of the pyroeffect in wurtzite n-type GaN films deposited over basal plane sapphire substrates. We measured the voltage drop between the contacts while the sample was subjected to the uniform heating or cooling. The pyroelectric voltage coefficient extracted from our data is comparable to that of the pyroelectric ceramics (∼104 V/m K). Our results show that the pyroelectric effect in GaN is a combination of a fast response to an initial heat flow and a slower response related to a change in the sample temperature. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: GaN layers having the zinc blende and wurtzite structures can be selectively deposited on (111)A and (1¯1¯1¯)B GaAs substrates by varying the growth temperature. Using the growth temperature as a variable, layers having the two structures have been sequentially deposited. The as-grown structures have been examined by cross-sectional high resolution electron microscopy. Results indicate that the two phases once formed are structurally stable in the temperature range examined. Furthermore, the transition from GaN (zinc blende) to GaN (wurtzite) is sharp, whereas a faulted region is observed during the reverse transition. Arguments have been developed to rationalize these observations. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report on the measurements of the piezoresistive effect in the n-type wurtzite GaN films. The 3–5 μm thick GaN layers were deposited slightly off axis over basal plane sapphire substrates. The static and dynamic gauge factor (GF) of these structures was measured at room temperature for both longitudinal and transverse configurations. The dynamic effect is related to a strong piezoeffect in GaN. The maximum dynamic GF observed was ∼130 (approximately four times larger than for SiC). © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract This study examines the effect of pulse repetition rate (PRR), pulse intensity, and bicuculline on the minimum threshold (MT) and latency of inferior collicular neurons of the big brown bat, Eptesicusfuscus, under free-field stimulation conditions. It tests the hypothesis that changes in MT and latency of collicular neurons are co-dependent on PRR. The number of impulses in inferior collicular neurons (n = 245) increased either monotonically (25%) or non-monotonically (75%) with pulse intensity. Latencies either decreased to a plateau (72%), fluctuated unpredictably within 3 ms (21%) or changed very little (7%) with increasing pulse intensity. Latencies and MTs of most collicular neurons increased by 1.5–24 ms (mean ± SD = 4.8 ± 3.3 ms) and 4–75 dB (mean ± SD = 22.1 ± 16.2 dB) with increasing PRR. In most neurons (94%), the latency increase was completely (42%) or partially (52%) eliminated when pulse intensity was compensated for the MT increase with PRR. Complete elimination of latency was achieved by bicuculline application. In a few neurons (6%), the latency increase with PRR was not affected by compensated pulse intensity or bicuculline application.

    Notes: Abstract Under free-field stimulation conditions, corticofugal regulation of auditory sensitivity of neurons in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus of the big brown bat, Eptesicus fuscus, was studied by blocking activities of auditory cortical neurons with Lidocaine or by electrical stimulation in auditory cortical neuron recording sites. The corticocollicular pathway regulated the number of impulses, the auditory spatial response areas and the frequency-tuning curves of inferior colliculus neurons through facilitation or inhibition. Corticofugal regulation was most effective at low sound intensity and was dependent upon the time interval between acoustic and electrical stimuli. At optimal interstimulus intervals, inferior colliculus neurons had the smallest number of impulses and the longest response latency during corticofugal inhibition. The opposite effects were observed during corticofugal facilitation. Corticofugal inhibitory latency was longer than corticofugal facilitatory latency. Iontophoretic application of γ-aminobutyric acid and bicuculline to inferior colliculus recording sites produced effects similar to what were observed during corticofugal inhibition and facilitation. We suggest that corticofugal regulation of central auditory sensitivity can provide an animal with a mechanism to regulate acoustic signal processing in the ascending auditory pathway.

    Notes: Abstract This study examines the binaural and frequency representation in the primary auditory cortex (AC) of the big brown bat, Eptesicus fuscus, by using an ear-phone stimulation system. All 306 cortical neurons studied were excited by contralateral sound stimulation but they were either excited, inhibited or not affected by ipsilateral sound stimulation. These cortical neurons were columnarly organized according to their binaural and frequency-tuning properties. The excitation-excitation columns which occupy about 15% of the AC are mainly aggregated within an oval-shaped area of the central AC. The excitation-inhibition neurons and binaural neurons with mixed properties are distributed in the remaining 85% of the surrounding primary AC. Although the best frequency (BF) of these neurons shows a tendency to decrease from high to low along the anteroposterior axis of the primary AC, systematic variation in BF is not always consistent across the entire mapping area. In particular, BFs of cortical neurons isolated in the anterior AC vary quite unsystematically such that neurons with similar BFs are aggregated in isolated patches. Isofrequency and binaural columns are segregated into bands that intersect each other.

    Notes: Abstract Diel vertical migration and gut pigment rhythm of calanoid copepods were studied in the highly eutrophic waters of Tolo Harbour, Hong Kong in summer between July 30 and August l, 1991 and in winter between January 24 and 25, 1992. Paracalanus parvus and P. crassirostris showed neither diel vertical migration nor diel gut pigment rhythm during the summer study. Acartia erythraea and Eucalanus subcrassus exhibited prominent diel vertical migration and diel gut pigment rhythm. Diel changes in gut pigment content of surface dwelling individuals and increase of gut pigment content before the onset of nocturnal upward migration suggest that gut pigment rhythm in E. subcrassus was not the result of animals moving in and out of a food-rich surface layer. During the winter study, the harbour was affected by a bloom of Noctiluca scintillans. P. parvus and P. crassirostris resided in deeper waters presumably to avoid the dense populations of N. scintillans at the surface. P. crassirostris remained non-migratory during the winter study. There was a nocturnal increase in the number of P. parvus in the surface waters, although no diel change in the mean depth of the population was observed. Both Paracalanus species showed diel gut pigment rhythm. The presence of diel gut pigment rhythm in the non-migratory P. crassirostris during the winter study suggested the presence of an independent feeding rhythm.
