    Description: Seismological networks provide critical data for better understanding the dynamics of the Earth; however, a great limitation on existing networks is the uneven distribution of stations. In order to achieve a more uniform distribution of seismic stations, observatories must be constructed in marine areas. The best configuration for oceanic seismic observatories is thought to be placement of seismometers in deep boreholes. Two deep-sea borehole seismological observatories (WP-1 and WP-2) were constructed in the western Pacific and form the initial installations of a 1000 km span network. At present, seismic records of more than 400 total days were retrieved from both the WP-1 and WP-2. Long-term variations in broadband seismic noise spectra (3mHz - 10 Hz) in the western Pacific were revealed from these records, and the data showed that ambient seismic noise levels in borehole observatories are comparable to those of the quietest land seismic stations. In addition, there is little temporal variation of noise levels in periods greater than 10 seconds. Due to this low seismic noise environment, many teleseismic events with magnitudes greater than 5 were recorded. It is confirmed that seismic observation in deep-sea borehole gives the best environment for earthquake observation in marine areas.

    Notes: InP polycrystals grown by the HB technique and InP single crystals grown by the liquid-encapsulated Czochralski technique have been evaluated by photoluminescence. It was found that as the carrier concentration is decreased, the photoluminescence spectrum shows finer structures. When the carrier concentration is less than 9×1014 cm−3, a strong free-exciton peak could be observed.

    Notes: The electrical activity of Zn in heavily doped InP crystals grown by the liquid-encapsulated Czochralski technique has been studied through annealing experiments. When the wafers were annealed at 650 °C, the saturated hole concentration increased as the cooling rate after the heat treatment increased. Annealing at 400 °C led to a reduction in the saturated hole concentration, which was not dependent on the cooling rate after the heat treatment. Some defect reactions at 400 °C would account for this phenomenon. The experimental results of the saturation of the hole concentration may be explained in terms of a defect state whose nature depends on the Fermi level position, as has been suggested by Walukiewicz [Appl. Phys. Lett. 54, 2094 (1989)].

    Notes: Seismic refraction measurements were made in August 1988 to study the crustal structure off Lofoten, Northern Norway. Twenty-four 3-component Ocean Bottom Seismographs (OBS) were used, of which seven were deployed in the area covered by landward-flowing basalt deposited during the early Eocene break-up between Norway and Greenland. The main purpose of the OBS survey was to investigate whether this method can be used to map structures below the basalt, which is not easy to penetrate with conventional seismic reflection techniques. The records obtained showed that the OBS data contain considerable information about structures below the flood-basalt; preopening sediments up to 4.0 km thick is indicated below the 1.0–2.5 km-thick landward-flowing basalt. The success of the OBS survey indicates that such measurements can become an important tool in investigations on passive volcanic margins and, potentially, in other areas where highly reflective boundaries make the reflection technique difficult to apply.

    Notes: In 1988, an extensive geophysical experiment was performed on the Lofoten passive continental margin, which was formed by the continental break-up between Greenland and northern Norway at 58 Ma. The geological units of the outer Lofoten margin are characterized by seaward-dipping reflectors (SDRs) and landward flood basalt, which extends up to 100 km landwards of SDRs. In this study, we obtain the P-wave velocity structure beneath the Lofoten Basin, the SDRs, and the landward flood basalt by use of ocean-bottom seismograph refraction profiling, and we also discuss the formation of the northern Norwegian passive continental margin.In the Lofoten Basin the crust is of oceanic type, consisting of sedimentary layers, oceanic laver 2 (4.9−5.5 km s−1), layer 3A (6.3−6.8 km s−1) and layer 3B (7.0−7.1 km s−1). Beneath the SDRs the crustal layers are identical to those of the Lofoten Basin, but the thickness of the lower crust, which represents the same velocity as layer 3B, increases to 5 km towards the continent side, and a high-velocity lower crustal layer (7.3 km s−1) is formed at the base of the crust. The ocean-continent transition zone is situated between the landward side of the SDRs and the northward continuation of the Vøring Plateau Escarpment. In this region the velocity of the lower crust gradually decreases and approaches the lower crustal velocity beneath the Lofoten Islands (6.8 km s−1). The model also indicates that the high-velocity layer disappears in this region. Comparing our model with the crustal structure on the Vøring margin, it is clear that the lower crustal body (≥7 km s−1) thickens southwards along the northern Norwegian continental margin. Recent results from petrological and geophysical studies of the generation of the oceanic crust have shown that increasing the temperature of the upwelling asthenospheric material increases the thickness of the oceanic crust. We interpret this as that the oceanic crust in the southern area in the Vøring-Lofoten margin was generated by hotter material than that of the northern area.

    Notes: In 1984 an extensive geophysical investigation was conducted in the northernmost part of the Ryukyu Island Arc, south of Kyushu Island. Japan. The aim of this investigation was to obtain new information on the nature of crust and upper mantle at the continental margin through various geophysical measurements (seismic profiling, gravity, magnetism, sea beam and heat flow).This paper presents the crust and upper mantle structure deduced from ocean bottom seismographic profiling conducted along two lines. One line, 190 km long, was taken behind the northernmost part of the Ryukyu Island Arc, parallel to the major tectonic units, i.e. the Okinawa Trough, Ryukyu Arc and Ryukyu Trench. The other, 295 km long, was perpendicular to the tectonic units. Along these profiles, we deployed ocean bottom seismograms spaced 10-20 km apart. As a controlled source, we used both explosives and an airgun array. The experiment was successful and provided quite important information on the tectonics of a trench-island arc-back arc system.The velocity structure obtained for the profile behind the Ryukyu Islands has continental properties. The sediment thickness is 3-4 km. although it shows lateral variations due to basement undulation. The velocities of the upper and lower crust are 5.8-6.2 and 6.6-6.8 km s-1, respectively. The total crustal thickness decreases southwestward, from 27-30 to 23-24 km. This is direct evidence for crustal thinning associated with the process of back-arc spreading.The velocity structure along the profile from the trench to the island arc clearly shows the subduction, accretion and deformation at this margin. The crust beneath the trench has oceanic properties. The sediment thickness is 1.3-3.0 km, beneath which the igneous basement shows severe undulation. The total crustal thickness is 7-8 km. The Pn velocity is slightly less than 8.0 km s-1. Our seismic data revealed a huge sedimentary wedge located 50-150 km landward of the trench. The maximum thickness of this wedge exceeds 12 km. The origin of this wedge may be oceanic because the P-wave velocity in its eastern half is almost comparable to that obtained for the trench area. The velocity structure landward of the wedge is continental and similar to that obtained for the profile behind the island arc.

    Notes: A high-quality multichannel seismic reflection line was acquired in 1987 along a 175 km long profile across the continental shelf off Lofoten, northern Norway. A seismic wide-angle experiment was performed in 1988 along the same profile, using seven three-component Ocean Bottom Seismographs (OBS) with 20-25 km spacing and shotpoint intervals of 240 m.The study of the data has shown that the combination of the multichannel reflection and the wide-angle (OBS) technique provides information about the crustal structure beneath the Lofoten shelf that could not have been achieved using only one of the techniques. the multichannel reflection data provide a detailed image of the shallow (Cretaceous) structures, which represents an important basis for inversion of the OBS data. the lower crust and the Moho are also well mapped in some parts of the area with the multichannel reflection technique.The OBS data reveal that significant amounts of pre-Cretaceous sediments exist along almost the entire profile, with a maximum thickness of about 5 km in the Vestfjorden Basin. From the OBS data the thickness of the lower crust is inferred to decrease from about 11.5 km under the Røst High to about 2 km below the Lofoten Ridge. the OBS data indicate further that the Moho position under the Vestfjorden Basin is considerably deeper than can be inferred from the reflection data.About 10km below Moho a strong dipping event is observed in the OBS data. This upper mantle reflection might be related to a possible seaward dipping master fault, and/or presence of layers of partially hydrated peridotite.
