V-shaped dislocations in a GaN epitaxial layer on GaN substrate
In this study, V-shaped dislocations in a GaN epitaxial layer on a free-standing GaN substrate were observed. Our investigation further revealed that the V-shaped dislocations were newly generated at the interface in the epilayer rather than propagated from the GaN substrate. V-shaped dislocations consist of two straight parts. The straight parts of the V-shaped dislocations were separated from each other in the m-direction and tilted toward the step-flow direction of the GaN epitaxial layer. The V-shaped dislocations are continuous single dislocations having a Burgers vector component of 1a and an intrinsic stacking fault between their straight parts

Sound to Language: Different Cortical Processing for First and Second Languages in Elementary School Children as Revealed by a Large-Scale Study Using fNIRS
A large-scale study of 484 elementary school children (6–10 years) performing word repetition tasks in their native language (L1-Japanese) and a second language (L2-English) was conducted using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Three factors presumably associated with cortical activation, language (L1/L2), word frequency (high/low), and hemisphere (left/right), were investigated. L1 words elicited significantly greater brain activation than L2 words, regardless of semantic knowledge, particularly in the superior/middle temporal and inferior parietal regions (angular/supramarginal gyri). The greater L1-elicited activation in these regions suggests that they are phonological loci, reflecting processes tuned to the phonology of the native language, while phonologically unfamiliar L2 words were processed like nonword auditory stimuli. The activation was bilateral in the auditory and superior/middle temporal regions. Hemispheric asymmetry was observed in the inferior frontal region (right dominant), and in the inferior parietal region with interactions: low-frequency words elicited more right-hemispheric activation (particularly in the supramarginal gyrus), while high-frequency words elicited more left-hemispheric activation (particularly in the angular gyrus). The present results reveal the strong involvement of a bilateral language network in children’s brains depending more on right-hemispheric processing while acquiring unfamiliar/low-frequency words. A right-to-left shift in laterality should occur in the inferior parietal region, as lexical knowledge increases irrespective of language
