Notizen: Ferroelectric twin-domain structures in epitaxial Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 (PZT) thin films grown on various single-crystal substrates such as MgO(001), KTaO3(001), and SrTiO3(001) were investigated by two-dimensional reciprocal space mapping using synchrotron x-ray diffraction. Each system showed a characteristic domain structure. PbTiO3 thin films grown on MgO(001) showed highly c-axis oriented domain structures consisting of a periodic array of 90° twinlike domains. Perfectly c-axis oriented films were obtained on SrTiO3(001), while the films grown on KTaO3(001) showed a-domain dominant structures with a small amount of c domains embedded in matrix a domains. Contributions of net elastic strain stored in each heteroepitaxial layer and its relaxation to the final domain structures were evaluated considering thermodynamic equilibrium relief of coherency strain by misfit dislocation generation at the film growth temperature. A comparison between theoretical consideration and experimental results clearly demonstrates that the nature of effective misfit strain and its relaxation during film growth play a critical role in the formation of domain structures in epitaxial PZT thin films. Moreover, it was verified that the control of such critical strain factors by changing film composition could modify dominant domain structures in a drastic way. In addition, it was found that the crystalline quality of the films is closely correlated to the tilting nature of the domain structure in each system and coherency strain across the 90° domain boundary is accommodated mainly by the domain tilt of the minor domain. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

Notizen: Background: Buckwheat flour (BF) is known as a potent food allergen. Sensitization to it usually occurs by ingestion but also by inhalation in occupational or domestic exposure. Buckwheat chaff-stuffed pillows (BCP) can be contaminated with BF during the process of pilling, and many Korean children and adults use BCP for health reasons. Methods and Results: We here present three cases of BF allergy in children using BCP, who had been treated as nonatopic asthmatics after undergoing the routine allergy skin tests and serologic tests. We took careful clinical histories, and performed skin prick tests (SPT), the radioimmunoassay (RIA) for specific IgE, the BCP-elimination test, the BF bronchial provocation test, and IgE Western blot. All three children showed positive skin reactions to BF, but none of them had positive reactions to house-dust mites. Nocturnal asthmatic symptoms were improved during 7 days of BCP elimination, and asthmatic responses were observed by bronchial provocation tests with homemade BF extract. Serum BF-specific IgE antibodies and several IgE-binding proteins were detected by RIA and Western blot analysis, respectively. Conclusions: Thus, a small amount of BF attached to BCP can induce BF sensitization, and BCP should be considered a main cause of childhood nocturnal asthma in those asthmatics exposed to these pillows.
