    Notes: Abstract Fluctuations in the amount of vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) were studied in random urine samples from 13 infants with neuroblastoma. In patients with a small tumour, many samples contained amounts below the cut off values, suggesting that detection of a patient with neuroblastoma depended on mathematical probability. Using high performance liquid chromatography a patient with a tumour of about 10 g may well be overlooked, whereas a patient whose tumour weighs over 30 g would probably be detected. With qualitative screening, although more likely to miss a patient with low VMA excretion, a patient with a tumour weighing over 50 g would be detected. In a thorough hospital examination care should be exercised in interpreting borderline values of VMA and HVA; excretion information suggesting the existence of a tumour may aid localization by radiological imaging procedures.

    Notes: We report the successful synthesis of insulating LaSrGaO4(LSGO) thin films and YBa2Cu3O7−y(YBCO)/LSGO heteroepitaxial multilayer structures using a pulsed laser deposition technique. SrTiO3(STO)(100) was used as a substrate. The formation of highly c-axis oriented YBCO/LSGO/YBCO trilayer structures is demonstrated. Epitaxial YBCO films on LSGO//STO and LSGO/YBCO//STO have a zero resistance temperature of 88.5 and 88.3 K, respectively. Sandwich-type YBCO/LSGO/YBCO junctions were produced by a suitable patterning technique. The observed (dI/dV)-V characteristics exhibit a clear single gap structure (width ∼26 meV) at temperatures below 30 K.

    Notes: The growth mechanism of (InAs)m(GaAs)n strained short-period superlattices grown on GaAs(001) and InAs(001) substrates was investigated by reflection high-energy electron diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. In the growth on a GaAs substrate, the two-dimensional layer-by-layer growth mode (Frank–Van der Merwe mode) was successfully realized even over the critical thickness when the lattice mismatch is less than ∼2.4%. In this case, the critical thickness of the grown layer on GaAs was remarkably increased by applying the superlattice structures. However, the strained short-period superlattices on InAs substrate were grown in the Stranski–Krastanov mode. The growth mode of strained short-period superlattices can be explained by the balance of surface and interface free energies, which could relate to the difference of the bonding energy between In-As and Ga-As. The growth mode of strained short-period superlattices depended strongly on the growth temperature. In the relatively high temperature growth, the growth mode of strained short-period superlattice grown on a GaAs substrate was changed from the Frank–Van der Merwe mode to the Stranski–Krastanov mode. It could be attributed to intermixing of superlattice structure due to the surface segregation of In atoms assisted by thermal energy.

    Notes: To determine whether histochemical reactivities of carcinoma-in-situ of the urinary bladder differ from those of invasive transitional cell carcinoma, we tested a profile of eight different lectins and three antibodies directed against blood group-related antigens for 15 cases of carcinoma-in-situ and 26 cases of non-papillary (6 superficially and 20 deeply) invasive transitional cell carcinoma that had been diagnosed according to the histopathological criteria of the International Union against Cancer. For biotin-labelled lectins and monoclonal antibodies to mouse blood group-related antigens, the avidin–biotin peroxidase complex method was applied. Positive histochemical reactions of peanut agglutinin without neuraminidase treatment—PNA N(–)—in the 20 deeply invasive tumour cases were significantly higher than those in the 15 carcinoma-in-situ cases (P〈0.05). In contrast, the reactions of blood group-related antigens in the 20 deeply invasive tumour cases were significantly lower than those in the 15 carcinoma-in-situ cases or the 11 normal controls (P〈0.05). The results confirm previously reported studies of the staining of PNA N(–) and blood group-related antigens on carcinoma-in-situ and invasive tumours of urothelial organs. The application of lectins and blood group-related antigens to the histopathology of urinary bladder cancer may be helpful in the differential diagnosis of carcinoma-in-situ from invasive cancer, but neither PNA N(–) nor blood group-related antigens can be solely reliable in this.

    Notes: We have carried out a detailed study of Franz–Keldysh oscillations observed in the photoreflectance spectra of molecular beam epitaxy grown GaAs/Si/GaAs and AlAs/Si/AlAs heterostructures with a Si nominal thickness of two monolayers. The oscillations in the photoreflectance spectra were due to internal electric fields generated by graded p-n junctions created by Si diffusion. The data were analyzed employing the asymptotic Franz–Keldysh theory. It is concluded that different contributions from degenerate heavy and light hole bands, to transitions around the Γ point of the Brillouin zone, must be expected for different heterostructures depending upon the particular characteristics of the internal electric fields present in the sample.

    Notes: The segregation and interdiffusion of In atoms in the GaAs/InAs/GaAs heterostructures were investigated by secondary-ion mass spectroscopy. When the 1-ML-thick InAs layer was grown in a layer-by-layer growth mode with no dislocations, the segregation of In atoms became marked with the increase of the growth temperature. However, the segregation was observed even at a relatively low growth temperature of 400 °C in molecular beam epitaxy. It was found that the segregation was markedly enhanced by dislocations near the heterointerface when thick InAs layers were grown in a three-dimensional island growth mode. The interdiffusion of In atoms toward the growth direction occurred after thermal annealing, which could be assisted by vacancies propagating from the film surface into the epilayer. It became apparent that the interdiffusion was effectively suppressed by a thin AlAs layer inserted in the GaAs cap layer.

    Notes: Spin-reorientation phenomenon in the PrCo5 compound has been analyzed over the temperature range 0 to 300 K using a Hamiltonian consisting of the crystal-field term and the 4f–3d exchange interaction. We have performed a careful analysis by including the second- and the fourth-order interaction terms to the crystal-field Hamiltonian. In general, the crystal-field B02 term favors the planar anisotropy while B04 term promotes an axial anisotropy. The combination of these two terms yield the off-axial anisotropy of the Pr sublattice. The magnitudes of B02 and B04 contribution are relatively strong at low temperatures and decrease considerably with increasing temperature. The contribution of the B02 term is more pronounced than that of the B04 term throughout the temperature range investigated. The competition between the off-axial anisotropy of Pr sublattice and the axial anisotropy of Co sublattice yields the spin-reorientation transition phenomenon in PrCo5 at 105 K.

    Notes: It is necessary to get higher c-axis alignment of Nd2Fe14B grains in Nd-Fe-B magnets for higher-energy products. During the hot working process, where melt-spun flakes were hot pressed followed by die-upsetting, hot-pressed bodies showed roughly isotropic structure while c-axis alignments were developed during die-upsetting. In this report, we studied the relationship between the reductions during upsetting and the degree of the c-axis alignments and also tried to get the formula of this relationship. We prepared samples having different reductions and evaluated remanence, c-axis alignment and strains of each flake in the samples. c-axis alignments were evaluated using x-ray diffraction.1 Strains were measured using the sizes of each deformed melt-spun flake. In the range of 50%–70% reduction, remanence was lower in the surface layer than in the center. The difference in remanence in these two regions became smaller as the reduction became larger. The distribution of c-axis alignments and strains showed similar phenomena. Then we could propose the following formula showing the relationship between reduction and c-axis alignment: (σ − σ0)/(σi − σ0) = (1 − εz)4, where σ is standard deviation of c axis alignment and σ0, σi denotes the σ value at enough large strain and initial value of σ, respectively. εz means strain parallel to pressing axis.

    Notes: Nd15.4Fe77.8B6.8 magnets of various degrees of crystal alignment have been prepared by the conventional powder metallurgy technique. The alignment of these magnets have been determined by x-ray diffraction and fitting the standard deviation of a Gaussian distribution for the relative intensity versus the angle between the normals of (hkl) and the tetragonal c axis. The standard deviation is a good indicator for crystal alignment. An aligning field of 8 kOe is found to be essential to obtain a well-aligned NdFeB magnet. The remanence of sintered magnets is directly affected by the crystal alignment. Furthermore, the effect of crystal alignment on the remanence follows the theoretical prediction of the Stoner–Wohlfarth model. Below the spin reorientation temperature, the effect of crystal alignment on the shape of hysteresis loop becomes more significant. The remanences extrapolated from first and second quadrant of the hysteresis loops have been found to be consistent with the prediction of Stoner–Wohlfarth model.

    Notes: A new type of impregnated-electrode-type liquid-metal ion source, which eliminated the heating problem in the previous source, has been developed with multiple tip and reservoirs (TAR's). In the present ion source, the TAR's are connected electrically in series by modifying the TAR holding system. In order to achieve uniform heating of the TAR's, the materials of the knife-edged electrodes, which introduce the heating current to the TAR's, were examined. Tantalum electrodes exhibited better results as compared with the conventional Mo electrodes. Both of the two TAR's could be heated up to 700 °C with a heating power of 200 W. The maximum indium ion current of 9.1 mA was obtained from the four-TAR source with 40 emission points. Since the present ion current was limited by the current capacity of the extraction power supply, an ion current of more than 10 mA will be expected with a larger power supply. The results indicated that an ion current approximately proportional to the number of the emission points was obtained. This kind of ion source could be used as a general ion source in materials science.
