    Notes: We fabricate semi-insulating InGaAs/GaAs multiple quantum wells and observe the excitonic enhancement of the photorefractivity in the Franz–Keldysh geometry at wavelengths of 0.92–0.94 μm. A maximum two-wave mixing gain of 138 cm−1 and a maximum diffraction efficiency of 1.5×10−4 are obtained. The saturation intensity and the spatial resolution are also measured by four-wave mixing. The diffraction efficiency is saturated at a high external electric field. The dominant cause of this saturation is the deviation of the excitonic electroabsorption from its quadratic law. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Photoluminescence (PL) spectra were measured for sub-nanometer-thick GaN quantum wells (QWs) with Al0.8Ga0.2N barriers, which were grown by atmospheric-pressure metal–organic chemical-vapor deposition. The thickness of the GaN QW layers was systematically varied from 1 to 4 ML. We clearly observed a PL peak at room temperature at a wavelength as short as 247 nm (5.03 eV) from 1-ML-thick QWs. The effective confinement energy, or difference between this recombination energy and the band gap of bulk GaN, is as large as 1.63 eV. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Using near-field optical microscopy, we have performed coherent excitation spectroscopy of self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs). A pair of coherent pulses with a time delay between them allows measurement of the temporal coherence of the carrier wave function in single quantum dots. The observed decoherence time is about 15 ps and is well explained by resonant Raman scattering of phonons. Furthermore, quantum beats originating from the superposition of two closely spaced coherent states have been observed. This opens up possibilities of quantum mechanical control of the carrier wave function in SAQDs. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We demonstrate an enhancement of spontaneous emission coupling factor β in a nitride-based vertical-microcavity surface-emitting laser. The 2.5λ vertical microcavity, the quality factor of which reaches 740, is sandwiched between a nitride and an oxide distributed Bragg reflector. From input–output measurements and analyses of the rate equations, the β of the lasing mode at a wavelength of 396.1 nm is estimated to be 1.6×10−2. The estimated β can be well accounted for by a simple theoretical model. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL measurements of GaN/AlxGa1−xN multiple quantum wells with barriers of high aluminum content, x=0.5. In wells of width 1–2 nm, low temperature recombination appears to be dominated by radiative processes with lifetimes ∼0.5 ns. Dependence of lifetime on emission energy is very small compared to InGaN quantum wells, indicating that carrier localization is very slight and interface quality is high. In 4 nm wells, PL emission at an energy below the bulk GaN band gap and long recombination lifetimes result from the polarization field across the wells. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Photoluminescence (PL) of modulation-doped Al0.22Ga0.78N/GaN heterostructures was investigated. The PL peak related to recombination between the two-dimensional electron gases (2DEG) and photoexcited holes is located at 3.448 eV at 40 K, which is 45 meV below the free excitons (FE) emission in GaN. The peak can be observed at temperatures as high as 80 K. The intensity of the 2DEG PL peak is enhanced significantly by incorporating a thin Al0.12Ga0.88N layer into the GaN layer near the heterointerface to suppress the diffusion of photoexcited holes. The energy separation of the 2DEG peak and the GaN FE emission decreases with increasing temperature. Meanwhile, the 2DEG peak energy increases with increasing excitation intensity. These results are attributed to the screening effect of electrons on the bending of the conduction band at the heterointerface, which becomes stronger when temperature or excitation intensity is increased. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: High-quality GaN with smooth surface morphology has been grown on vicinal a-plane sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The misorientation angles of vicinal a-plane sapphire substrates were changed systematically and the results were compared with the growth on exact a- and c-plane sapphire substrates. Surface morphology and crystalline qualities are found to be very sensitive to misorientation angles of a-plane sapphire substrates and the misorientation angle was optimized to be 0.25°. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Influences of the thickness of the Si-doped n-type Al0.22Ga0.78N barrier and the thickness of the Al0.22Ga0.78N spacer on mobility and density of the two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in modulation-doped Al0.22Ga0.78N/GaN heterostructures were investigated. 2DEG mobilities of 1274 cm2/V s at 300 K and 4495 cm2/V s at 77 K were reached. Both 2DEG mobility and density decrease dramatically when the Al0.22Ga0.78N barrier becomes partially relaxed, indicating that transport properties of the 2DEG are influenced significantly by the piezoelectric polarization of the Al0.22Ga0.78N layer. From our results, the critical thickness of an Al0.22Ga0.78N layer on GaN is estimated to be between 65 and 75 nm, which is much higher than that predicted by theoretical calculation. This may be attributed to the interaction of misfit dislocations and the presence of a high density of extended defects in the Al0.22Ga0.78N layer. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Background: Helicobacter pylori causes gastritis and is strongly associated with gastroduodenal ulcer and gastric cancer. The bacterium is associated with an increased rate of epithelial proliferation, which can be reversed by eradication of the organism. The mechanism of this response is not known, but this epithelial proliferation is one of the risk factors for developing gastric carcinoma. Recently, apoptosis also was found to be increased in the gastric mucosa of persons carrying H. pylori. Methods: cagA-positive H. pylori isolated from a human gastric ulcer was inoculated into BALB/C mice. At 4, 6, 12, 18 and 24 weeks, mice were injected with bromodeoxyuridine 5 mg/kg and killed 1 h later. Proliferation was analysed by histochemical staining for BrdU; apoptosis was examined by the TUNEL assay. Results: The number of BrdU-labelled cells in the antrum was significantly increased by H. pylori infection beginning 12 weeks after infection. The number of apoptotic cells in this tissue was increased significantly by 6 weeks after inoculation. Conclusion: The proliferation observed in H. pylori infection may be a response to increased apoptosis.

    Notes: We previously demonstrated the circadian variation of water-immersion restraint stress (WRS)-induced gastric mucosal lesions in rats.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Aim:To investigate the roles of melatonin and prostaglandin in the gastric mucosa in circadian modulation of WRS.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods:Fasted rats were subjected to 4-h WRS during both the diurnal and nocturnal phases of a light/dark cycle. Mucosal lesions, serum melatonin concentrations, mucosal generation of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and mucosal gene expressions of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and -2 were evaluated.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Results:Lesion area after 4-h stress during the dark phase was significantly smaller than that in light-phase controls. Serum melatonin concentration in control rats during the light phase was significantly increased 4 h after WRS, but PGE2 generation was decreased by 48% as compared to that in intact mucosa before stress. In the dark phase, melatonin concentration after 4-h WRS was significantly depressed as compared with the control level at the corresponding time. PGE2 concentrations after 4-h WRS in the dark phase were not decreased compared with the control level at the corresponding time, although PGE2 level was significantly lower than that in light-phase controls. Expression of COX-1 and COX-2 mRNA was detected after exposure to stress in both the light and dark phases.〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusion:These results suggest that circadian rhythm has an important role in the formation of stress-induced gastric mucosal lesions in rats. The circadian rhythm of melatonin responses and PGE2 generation may contribute to nocturnal/diurnal rhythmicity of gastric mucosal defences between day and night.
