Spin-Freezing Temperature of Some Oxide and Fluoride Glasses Containing Iron (III)

The magnetic transition observed in iron-containing oxide and fluoride glasses where antiferromagnetic interactions are dominant among the iron ions has been discussed on the basis of the superparamagnetic model. The theoretical approach based on the model proposed by Shtrikman and Wohlfarth has revealed that the spin-freezing temperature of the oxide and fluoride glasses increases with the increase of the average value of the superexchange interaction. This suggests that the spin-freezing temperature increases with the increase of the covalency of Fe-O or Fe-F bond when the content of the iron ions is identical. The relation between the spin-freezing temperature and the isomer shift value obtained experimentally for some oxide and fluoride glasses seems to support this expectation

Ultrashort-pulse laser calligraphy

Control of structural modifications inside silica glass by changing the front tilt of an ultrashort pulse is demonstrated, achieving a calligraphic style of laser writing. The phenomena of anisotropic bubble formation at the boundary of an irradiated region and modification transition from microscopic bubbles formation to self-assembled form birefringence are observed, and the physical mechanisms are discussed. The results provide the comprehensive evidence that the light beam with centrosymmetric intensity distribution can produce noncentrosymmetric material modifications

Multilayer aberration correction for depth-independent three-dimensional crystal growth in glass by femtosecond laser heating

Focused femtosecond lasers are known for their ability to modify transparent materials well below the surface with 3D selectivity, but spherical aberration causes degraded focal intensity and undesirable absorption conditions as focal depth increases. To eliminate such effects we have implemented an aberration correction procedure that accounts for multiple refracting layers in order to crystallize LaBGeO5 glass inside a temperature-controlled microscope stage via irradiation through a silica glass window. The correction, applied by a spatial light modulator, was effective at removing the focal depth-dependent degradation and achieving consistent heating conditions at different depths, an important consideration for patterning single-crystal architecture in 3D. Additional effects are noted, which produce a range of crystal cross-section shapes and varying degrees of partial crystallization of the melt

Flow Cytometric Assessment of Neutrophil Oxidative Metabolism in Chronic Granulomatous Disease on Small Quantities of Whole Blood: Heterogeneity in Female Patients

A rapid and sensitive flow cytometric assay is presented for the quantitative estimation of the oxidative metabolic activity of individual polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) on less than 100 td of whole blood. This procedure is a simplified version using whole blood of the method of Bass et al (J. Immunol. 130:1910, 1983) that estimated the metabolic burst activity of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-stimulated individual PMN as the intracellular generation of a fluorescence product by a flow cytometric assay. With this method, almost all the PMN from normal subjects responded to PMA as a single cell population generating bright intracellular fluorescence. PMN from a boy with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), could not respond to PMA with any increase of their fluorescence intensity. His mother had two distinct PMN populations one functionally normal and the other defective, indicating a random lyonization in the carrier mother and the X-linked recessive mode of inheritance. In two female patients with CGD from unrelated families, their PMN responded to PMA, as a whole, with a minimal increase in the fluorescence intensity, but the metabolic defects in their PMN were not so complete as seen in a classical X-linked CGD boy. But, PMN from two female sibling patients from the other family responded to PMA as a single uniform cell population with a weak but definite fluorescence intensity. However, the genetic background of these female patients with CGD remains unclear, since PMN dysfunction could not be identified in their mothers with this method.This work was supported in part by a grant (No. 58440046) from the Ministry of Education of Japan
