    Notes: Tomographic imaging of the ionosphere is a recently developed technique that uses integrated measurements and computer reconstructions to determine electron densities. The integral of electron density along vertical or oblique paths is obtained with radio transmissions from low-earth-orbiting (LEO) satellite transmitters to a chain of receivers on the earth's surface. Similar measurements along horizontal paths can be made using transmissions from Global Position System (GPS) navigation satellites to GPS receivers on LEO spacecraft. Also, the intensities of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emissions can be measured with orbiting spectrometers. These intensities are directly related to the integral of the oxygen ion and electron densities along the instrument line of sight. Two-dimensional maps of the ionospheric plasma are produced by analyzing the combined radio and EUV data using computerized ionospheric tomography (CIT). Difficulties associated with CIT arise from the nonuniqueness of the reconstructions, owing to limited angle measurements or nonoptimal receiver location. Improvements in both reconstruction algorithms and CIT measurement systems are being implemented to overcome these difficulties. New imaging systems being developed employ CIT for large area mapping of the plasma densities in the ionosphere. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The effect of spacers in modulation-doped Zn1−xCdxSe/ZnSe:Cl multiple quantum wells (MD-MQWs) was investigated by photoluminescence (PL) and time-of-flight secondary-ion-mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). A comparison was made between structures with and without spacers as a function of annealing temperature. The diffusion of Cl and Cd was monitored by TOF-SIMS depth profiling and photoluminescence. Although TOF-SIMS does not show any significant diffusion of Cl and Cd in both structures at temperatures up to 385 °C, the PL results indicate the modification of optical properties in the Zn1−xCdxSe/ZnSe:Cl MD-MQWs due to annealing. Up to an annealing temperature of 385 °C, the MD-MQWs with spacers show superior optical quality in the quantum well regions, while quenching of the quantum well band-edge PL and strong enhancement of deep-level emission were observed from the MD-MQWs without spacers. This phenomenon suggests that the radiative deep-level emission may provide more efficient channel for electron–hole recombination with increasing annealing temperature. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A frequency modulated interferometer is developed, which uses a 94 GHz Gunn oscillator and a single sideband (SSB) upconverter as a frequency modulator. An SSB upconverter makes it possible to use a heterodyne phase measurement technique with one mm-wave source. In addition, the influence of frequency drift and phase noise of a mm-wave source on the phase measurement can be reduced. In this work, the performance of a SSB upconverter as a frequency modulator is examined. Also, overall performance of the mm-wave interferometer with a SSB upconverter and line density measurement results in a mirror device are described. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The inversion problem of angle dependent chord integrals is theoretically studied and a rotating type optical probe is developed for its application. The proposed solution is computationally efficient and robust to measurement additive noise. The probe system constructed is tested in an inductively coupled plasma source by measuring a spectral line intensity of argon plasma. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract : Familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) mutant forms of presenilin 1 (PS1) and 2 have been shown to sensitize cells to apoptotic cell death. Here we explore the effects of FAD mutant forms of PS1 on caspase activation during apoptosis. We show that caspase activation leads to increased generation of alternative C-terminal fragments (CTFs) from mutant as compared to wild-type (wt) PS1. For this purpose, very low expression levels of wt, A246E, L286V, and ΔE10 FAD mutant PS1 proteins in stably transfected human H4 neuroglioma cells were used to avoid artifactual induction of spontaneous apoptosis due to overexpression of PS1. Staurosporine treatment of these cells resulted in increased cell death and up to a 10-fold increase in caspase-3 activation in mutant versus wt PS1-expressing cell lines. Correspondingly, relative levels of caspase-cleaved PS1 CTFs were increased by five-to sixfold in the FAD mutant versus wt PS1 cells. Elevated caspase activation and caspase cleavage of FAD mutant PS1 suggest the possibility of either a direct proapoptotic effect of mutant PS1 or interference of mutant PS1 with antiapoptotic effects of wt PS1.

    Notes: A tertiary crystal growth method was used to fabricate thin gauged 3% Si–Fe sheets in order to reduce the thickness of the sheets without deteriorating soft magnetic properties. During the investigation, the magnetic properties of final annealed sheets were found to be directly related to the magnetic properties of final cold rolled sheets. X-ray and transmission electron microscopy were used to understand the above relation. It was found that the fraction of (110) grains at the surface of the final cold rolled sheets significantly affected the final magnetic properties of the final annealed sheets. On the basis of the above argument, the final magnetic properties of the thin gauged Si–Fe sheets can be predicted by the B10 values of the final cold rolled sheets. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: p-i-n photodiodes were fabricated on nitrogen ion implanted undoped ZnSe/n-type ZnSe epilayers grown on n+GaAs (100) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. To obtain a quasi-uniform p layer doping profile, nitrogen ions at multiple energies and ion doses were implanted at room temperature. The activation of implanted species was carried out by an optimized post-annealing in a nitrogen ambient. Optical studies were performed on the implanted/annealed devices by photoluminescence spectroscopy at 10 K, which indicated donor–acceptor pairs at an energy of 2.7 eV and its phonon replicas with 30 meV intervals. The circular p-i-n diodes with a 1 mm diam contact area showed a device breakdown voltage to be linearly dependent on the thickness of the undoped ZnSe epilayer. For p-i-n diodes fabricated on an initial 0.5 μm thick undoped ZnSe layer, an ideality factor of 1.19 and a reverse bias breakdown voltage of 12 V was observed. A large photocurrent, good linearity with light intensity, and low dark current were observed. A photocurrent/dark current ratio 〉105 was obtained at an illumination intensity of 100 mW/cm2. These devices exhibited a responsivity of 0.025 A/W at a wavelength of 460 nm through the top 200 Å thick metal contacts.© 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: (Co1−xFex)Pt films were grown on a glass substrate by a rf sputtering and then annealed at 650–700 °C in a high vacuum. All the as-sputtered (Co1−xFex)Pt films deposited below 400 °C had a disordered structure and showed very low coercivities. With increasing the deposition temperature and Fe contents, the (111) texture was weakened in as-deposited (Co1−xFex)Pt ternary films. Vibrating sample magnetometer and x-ray diffraction data show that Co atoms in the L10 CoPt phase were substituted with Fe atoms. In-plane coercivities of these films decreased almost linearly with increasing Fe content which seemed to be due to the decrease of a crystalline anisotropy energy. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Grazing incidence x-ray scattering and x-ray diffraction techniques have been employed to investigate the microstructures in various ZnSe-based semiconductor thin films grown on GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy and metalorganic chemical vapor deposition methods. The results are also used for a comparison of the interfacial roughness and overall quality of the II–VI thin films prepared by these two different growth methods. Structural parameters such as the interfacial roughness and layer thickness obtained from the scattering measurements and lattice constants obtained from the x-ray diffraction pattern around the GaAs(004) peak can be correlated with the film deposition rate, compound composition, and lattice strain in the epilayers. We thus demonstrate that x-ray scattering techniques in conjunction with diffraction measurements are useful tools for nondestructive characterization of buried interfaces in semiconductor layer materials. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
