    Description: We used remote-sensing and in situ measurements of surface accumulation rate, ice surface velocity, thickness and elevation to evaluate the mass budgets of grounded ice-flow regimes that form the Lambert Glacier-Amery Ice Shelf system. Three distinct drainage regimes are considered: the western and eastern margins of the ice shelf, and the southern grounding line at the major outlet glacier confluence, which can be identified with drainage zones 9, 11 and 10 respectively of Giovinetto and Zwally (2000). Our findings show the entire grounded portion of the basin is approximately in balance, with a mass budget of -4.2_9.8 Gt a-1. Drainages 9, 10 and 11 are within balance to the level of our measurement uncertainty, with mass budgets of -2.5_2.8 Gt a-1, -2.6_7.8 Gt a-1 and 0.9_2.3 Gt a-1, respectively. The region upstream of the Australian Lambert Glacier basin (LGB) traverse has a net mass budget of 4.4_6.3 Gt a-1, while the downstream region has -8.9_9.9 Gt a-1. These results indicate that glacier drainages 9, 10 and 11, upstream and downstream of the Australian LGB traverse, are in balance to within our measurement error.

    Description: We used in situ measurements and remote-sensing data sets to evaluate the mass budgets of the Lambert, Mellor and Fisher Glaciers and the basal melting and freezing rates beneath their flowbands on the Amery Ice Shelf. Our findings show the Lambert and Mellor Glaciers upstream of the ANARE Lambert Glacier Basin (LGB) traverse may have positive imbalances of 3.9±2.1 Gt a−1 and 2.1±2.4 Gt a−1, respectively, while the Fisher Glacier is approximately in balance. The upstream region as a whole has a positive imbalance of 5.9±4.9 Gt a−1. The three same glaciers downstream of the ANARE LGB traverse line are in negative imbalance, where the whole downstream region has a negative imbalance of −8.5±5.8 Gt a−1. Overall the mass budgets of the Lambert, Mellor, and Fisher Glaciers are close to balance, and the collective three-glacier system is also nearly in balance with a mass budget of −2.6±6.5 Gt a−1. The significant positive imbalances for the interior basin upstream of the ice-movement stations established in the early 1970s (GL line) reported previously are possibly due to an overestimate of the total accumulation and an underestimate of the ice flux through the GL line.The mean melting rate is −23.0±3.5 m ice a−1 near the southern grounding line, which decreases rapidly downstream, and transitions to refreezing at around 300 km from the southern extremity of the Amery Ice Shelf. Freezing rates along the flowbands are around 0.5±0.1 to 1.5±0.2 m ice a−1. The percentage of ice lost from the interior by basal melting beneath the flowbands is about 80%±5%. The total basal melting and refreezing beneath the three flowbands is 50.3±7.5 Gt ice a−1 and 7.0±1.1 Gt ice a−1, respectively. We find a much larger total basal melting and net melting than the results for the whole Amery Ice Shelf derived from previous modeling and oceanographic measurements.

    Description: The temporal and spatial variability of the annual accumulation rate and the mass budgets of five sub-basins of the Lambert GlacierAmery Ice Shelf system (LAS), East Antarctica, at high elevations are assessed using a variety of datasets derived from field measurements and modeling. The annual temporal variations of the accumulation rate for four cores from the west and east sides of the LAS are around ±34%. Decadal fluctuation of the accumulation from the DT001 firn core drops to ±10%, and the 30 year fluctuation to ±5%, which is assumed to contain the information about the regional and long-term trend in accumulation. The 15-point running mean of the annual accumulation rate derived from stake measurements can remove most of the high-frequency spatial variation so as to better represent the local accumulation. Model simulations show that the spatial variability of erosion/ deposition of snow by the wind has a noticeable impact on the surface mass balance at the higher parts of the LAS. Mass-budget estimates at high-elevation sub-basins of the LAS suggest drainage 9 has a negative imbalance of 0.7±0.4 Gt a1, Lambert and Mellor Glaciers have a positive imbalance of 3.9±2.1 and 2.1±2.4 Gt a1 respectively, and Fisher Glacier and drainage 11 are approximately in balance. The higher-elevation region as a whole has a positive mass imbalance of 4.4±6.3 Gt a1, which is consistent with the most recent radar altimetry assessment that shows an overall thickening over this region.

    Description: Antarctic snowfall exhibits substantial variability over a range of timescales, with consequent impacts on global sea level and the mass balance of the ice sheets. To assess how snowfall has affected the thickness of the ice sheets in Antarctica and to provide an extended perspective, we derived a 50-year time series of snowfall accumulation over the continent is derived by combining model simulations and observations primilarly from ice cores. There has been no statistically significant change in snowfall since the 1950s indicating that Antarctic precipitation is not mitigating global sea level rise as expected, despite recent winter warming of the overlying atmosphere.

    Notes: The amorphous Ir–Si layer of several nanometers thick on Si(100)2×1 deposited at room temperature has been characterized by using both low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and synchrotron photoemission techniques. The double domain Si(100)2×1 LEED pattern disappeared when the deposited Ir onto Si(100) was higher than 1 ML. The ultrathin amorphous Ir–Si layer consisted of three different IrxSiy alloys, rather than a single homogeneous IrxSiy alloy as predicted by the conventionally used Gibbs free energy calculation in the solid state amorphization. The growth of the amorphous Ir–Si layer on Si(100) strongly depended on the interaction between Ir and Si(100) at the initial stage of Ir deposition. Three types of Ir–Si bonding formed on Si(100) at 1 ML Ir coverage and gradually evolved to be three different amorphous IrxSiy alloys. The growth mode of the amorphous Ir–Si layer was proposed to be the modified Stranski–Krastanov growth. The transition from layer-by-layer-like to island growth occurred at Ir coverage of ∼3 ML. The major amorphous IrxSiy alloy switched from Si to Ir rich when Ir coverage is over ∼3 ML. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The influence of oxygen pressure on epitaxial quality of La0.3Sr1.7AlTaO6 (LSAT) films deposited by laser ablation on SrTiO3(100), LaAlO3(100), and MgO(100) substrates has been investigated. X-ray diffraction shows only (00l) peaks in the oxygen pressure range from 10−3 to 500 mTorr. However, the crystallinity of LSAT films is found to be sensitive to oxygen pressure and dependent on substrates. LSAT films on SrTiO3 have the narrowest full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 0.05° at 300 mTorr. The films on LaAlO3 exhibit a FWHM of 0.3° at 50–100 mTorr. On MgO substrate, significant improvement of crystallinity is achieved at 200–300 mTorr, but rocking curves give an FWHM of 0.70°–1.00° due to the large lattice mismatch between LSAT and MgO. Atomic force microscopy analyses demonstrate smooth LSAT surfaces without identified grains. Reflection high-energy electron diffraction studies suggest a two-dimensional growth mode for LSAT films on SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 and a three-dimensional growth mode for LSAT films on MgO. Cross-sectional high-resolution electron micrographs indicate that LSAT films on SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 have defect-free epitaxial structure and atomically flat interfaces. An 80 Å thick intermediate layer with partially disordering is observed between LSAT films and MgO substrates. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Structure formation in the combustion synthesis of Al2O3–TiC composites from TiO2, Al, and graphite powders was investigated using cylindrical samples and cone-shaped “quenching samples.” It is shown that the phases Ti and Ti3Al exist as intermediates in the combustion synthesis process. Titanium carbide forms in a secondary step through reactions between graphite and liquid Ti or Ti3Al, then nucleates from a liquid mixture of the three phases Ti, Ti3Al, and alumina. The nucleated particles grow in the postcombustion stage. Liquid alumina, containing TiC as a dissolved phase, solidifies into corundum grains in the postcombustion stage. Moreover, it is shown that the temperature gradient in the postcombustion stage markedly affects the microstructures of the products. Higher-temperature gradients, typical at the surface of the samples, give rise to the formation of corundum whiskers and TiC agglomerates. In contrast, lower gradients, typical in the center of the samples, lead to the formation of relatively large TiC particles and corundum grains.

    Notes: Bi-based superconducting phases have been studied by transmission electron microscopy. The strong one-dimensional modulations in undoped and Ce-doped monoclinic Bi2 Sr2 CuO6 (2201) samples are different from one another. We have found a new 2201 phase containing Pb and Ca with orthorhombic symmetry in nominal (Bi0.90 Pb0.10 )2 Sr2 CaCu2 O8 crystals. Its structure with space group Bbmb and two-dimensional modulation are analogous to those of the Pb-doped higher members of the structural series Bi2 Sr2 Can−1 Cun O2n+4 . Hence, this new orthorhombic rather than the monoclinic 2201 phase should be the first member of the structural series.

    Notes: The relationship between the starting and ending atomic layers of YBa2Cu3O7−x and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 thin films is studied by high-resolution electron microscopy. Experimental results show that the starting atomic layer of the thin film is determined by surface chemistry and the interaction between the thin film and the substrate, while the ending layer of the thin film is thermodynamically determined by the high-Tc cuprate itself. Therefore, nonunit cell nucleation is often observed in certain cases. The surface atomic layers of YBa2Cu3O7−x and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 were found to be the CuO layer and single BiO layer, respectively. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Processing for the growth of YBa2Cu4O8 (Y124) thin films has been investigated by dc 94.92 MHz hybrid plasma sputtering with in situ annealing. The amorphous precursor is found to be the best candidate for growing pure Y124 phase through in situ annealing. The Raman spectrum confirms the Y124 phase by presenting the modes at 250 and 604 cm−1 related to the double Cu-O chains. X-ray diffraction as well as transmission electron microscopy further show that the films are composed of grain with orthogonal c axes in the film plane. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.
