    Notes: Abstract We investigated the expression of α1 and β subunits of the L-type Ca2+ channel on the protein level in cardiac preparations from normal human heart ventricles and from the hypertrophied septum of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). 1,4-Dihydropyridine (DHP) binding and immunorecognition by polyclonal antibodies directed against the C-terminal amino acid sequences of the β2 and β3 subunits were used for detection and quantification of α1, β2, and β3 subunits. Bmax of high-affinity DHP binding was 35±2 fmol/mg protein in HOCM and 20±2 fmol/mg protein in normal human hearts (P〈0.05). In rabbit hearts the anti-β2 subunit antibody immunoprecipitated 80% of the total amount of DHP-labeled Ca2+ channels present in the assay. Under identical experimental conditions 25% of labeled Ca2+ channels were recovered in the immunoprecipitates of both normal and HOCM ventricles. A similar partial immunoprecipitation was observed in pig hearts. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that the β2 subunit was associated with the DHP receptor/Ca2+ channel in cardiac muscle of rabbit, pig, and human heart. In neither of these purified cardiac Ca2+ channels was the β3 subunit isoform detected. Our results suggest that both α1 and β2 subunit expression is upregulated in HOCM in a coordinate manner.

    Notes: The incorporation of high concentrations ((approximately-greater-than)1019 cm−3) of Si, Be, and C in InxGa1−xAs relaxed layers has been studied as a function of In content (x≤0.16) by Raman spectroscopy of local vibrational modes (LVM). The frequencies of the Raman peaks resulting from the convolution of several split modes shift to lower values as the In content is increased, the carbon acceptor (CAs) local mode frequency showing the strongest dependency on x. Features attributed exclusively to the influence of In on second-neighbor sites are identified only in the Si-doped samples. The transverse and longitudinal modes expected from the splitting of a LVM of CAs with one In first neighbor are not observed in layers with x up to 0.085. A new calibration for the BeGa, CAs, and Si-related LVM leads to the conclusion that In increases the total electrical activation of Si and favors its incorporation on group-III sublattice sites. In contrast, no influence of In on the Be or C doping activation has been detected. The analysis of the CAs LVM spectra supports the view that in InxGa1−xAs CAs is preferably surrounded by Ga instead of In atoms for x≤0.085. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The thickness of the individual layers of molecular beam epitaxy grown pseudomorphic InyGa1−yAs (0.1≤y≤0.35)/GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As quantum well structures has been determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) depth profiling, and reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) with the aim of the compositional analysis of the ternary alloy films. Agreement between SIMS and TEM thickness data within 15% is found. Reliable RHEED data at y≥0.25, where the number of RHEED oscillations is drastically reduced by the three-dimensional growth of the InGaAs film, have been obtained by averaging repeated RHEED measurements. As compared with TEM, RHEED tends to lower values by 10% at maximum. The compositional data determined by the different methods including also photoluminescence (PL) agree within 20% in the technologically important region y≥0.2. At y=0.1, extreme accuracy requirements concerning the thickness determination limit the accuracy of SIMS and TEM to around 30%. Therefore PL and RHEED are superior at this concentration. An influence of the growth temperature on the In content at y=0.3 could be detected only by PL, demonstrating the excellent relative accuracy of PL.

    Notes: Local vibrational modes (LVM) of Si in substitutional sites have been observed by resonant Raman spectroscopy in highly doped (≥8×1018 cm−3) InxGa1−xAs layers, either relaxed or under strain, on [100] GaAs substrates. The peak frequency ωLVM of the Si on Ga site (SiGa) LVM in unstrained samples shifts to lower values with increasing In content. For x≤0.10 this shift is clearly higher than expected from a linear interpolation between the measured values in the binaries. The comparison between the SiGa peak frequency measured in both a full strained layer and a relaxed layer with similar composition provides a rough determination of the deformation potentials for the SiGaLVM in these layers: q/ω2LVM=−2.7±1 and p/ω2LVM=−2.5±1. As the In content becomes higher the width of the SiGa peak increases much more than that of the GaAs-like longitudinal optical-phonon peak, revealing the splitting due to the loss of local symmetry introduced by the In. New calibration factors for the Si-defect concentrations have been deduced, which allow estimation of the solubility limit for the Si incorporation in substitutional positions, which ranges from 2.3×1019 to 2.6×1019 cm−3 for the layers at the growth conditions used. The analysis of the integrated intensity of the LVM Raman peaks indicates that the degree of electrical compensation is clearly reduced for increasing In up to x≤0.05, due to both an increase of the solubility limit for Si in these layers and a saturation or slight reduction of the SiAs-related defect concentrations. This conclusion is also supported by Hall and plasmon measurements. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Continuous tuning over the entire 8–12 μm wavelength range is demonstrated for the intersubband absorption resonance in n-doped GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs multiple quantum-well structures following partial interdiffusion of the well and barrier layers via rapid thermal annealing. The data indicate that redshifting of the intersubband absorption resonance arises both from interdiffusion-induced modification of the confining potential and from a decrease in the depolarization shift. The latter effect is due in part to a decrease in the free-carrier concentration within the Si-doped quantum wells following rapid thermal annealing. Significant diffusion of the localized Si dopant is also observed over the range of annealing temperatures investigated here. Calculated values of the Al-Ga interdiffusion coefficient, as a function of anneal temperature, indicate that Si diffusion through the heterointerfaces contributes substantially to layer intermixing.

    Notes: Be-doped epitaxial layers of GaAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy have been studied by local vibrational mode spectroscopy combining infrared absorption and Raman scattering. Calibration factors for both experimental techniques have been derived which enable quantitative assessments to be made of the concentrations of Be acceptors in GaAs. In Raman spectroscopy the detection limit is ≈ 3×1018 cm−3 for as-grown layers only 10 nm in thickness.

    Notes: The redistribution of Be in highly doped AlxGa1−xAs layers and AlxGa1−xAs/AlAs(GaAs) short period superlattices (SPSL) during molecular beam epitaxy was investigated by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) depth profiling. Be outdiffuses significantly from these layers and, additionally, segregates in growth direction. Conversely, Be is depleted and incorporated only up to a solid-solubility limit depending on the Al content. SPSLs with shorter period are disordered and show the solid-solubility limits of homogeneous AlxGa1−xAs layers with the same average composition. Be solid-solubility limits in AlxGa1−xAs layers covering the whole range from GaAs to AlAs are derived from the SIMS depth profiles. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We prepared epitaxial ferromagnetic manganite films on 45° bicrystal substrates by pulsed laser ablation. Their low- and high-field magnetoresistance (MR) was measured as a function of magnetic field, temperature and current. At low temperatures hysteretic changes in resistivity up to 70% due to switching of magnetic domains at the coercitive field are observed. The strongly nonohmic behavior of the current–voltage leads to a complete suppression of the MR effect at high bias currents with the identical current dependence at low and high magnetic fields. We discuss the data in view of tunneling and mesoscale magnetic transport models and propose an explicit dependence of the spin polarization on the applied current in the grain boundary region. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The influence of pseudomorphic strain and resulting piezoelectric fields on In0.13Ga0.87N/GaN quantum wells has been studied by resonant Raman scattering. The A1(LO) phonon of In0.13Ga0.87N pseudomorphically strained to GaN is found to be downshifted in frequency by only 3 cm−1 with respect to GaN, which gives evidence for a near cancellation between the much larger frequency downshift of 10 cm−1 reported for unstrained In0.13Ga0.87N and a high-frequency shift of the A1(LO) phonon induced by the in-plane compressive strain. For excitation in resonance with the fundamental interband transition of the InGaN well, the intensity of first- and second-order scattering by the InGaN A1(LO) phonon was found to decrease with decreasing excitation power density, and thus increasing strength of the piezoelectric field. This finding is explained by a quenching of the excitonic enhancement in the resonance profile by the piezoelectric field. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The carrier profile for MBE grown In0.35Ga0.65As/GaAs multiquantum well laser structures with nominally undoped and beryllium-doped active regions was determined by using the capacitance–voltage (C–V) technique at room temperature. A simple theoretical model was used to extract the impurity concentration and the quantum-well carrier density from the experimental profiles. We obtained a high carrier concentration in nominally undoped devices caused by a strong growth temperature dependent Be diffusion from the p-cladding layer, and no difference between doped samples with different nominal dopant location. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
