Reactive thermally evaporated transparent conducting indium tin oxide (ITO) layers are used as window material and for current spreading layers on AlGaInP light emitting diodes (LEDs). The sheet resistance of the ITO films deposited is of the order of 4.5 /spl Omega///spl square/ with up to 90% transmission in the visible region of the spectrum. In all cases, the devices incorporating the ITO layer gave a marginally greater output (10%) than the standard non-ITO devices.

I wish to argue for an objection to David Lewis's modal realism that goes roughly as follows: Acceptance of Lewis's theory makes radical scepticism with respect to induction unavoidable, and whatever attractions the theory may have, this is too high a price to pay for accepting it. Versions of this objection have been formulated by Peter Forrest, George Schlesinger, Robert Adams, and J. J. C. Smart, among others. I will call it 'the Objection from Scepticism'. It is possible, of course, to argue that relying on induction is unreasonable, period-not merely for the modal realist, but for anyone. Let us call such an argument a 'Hume Argument' since several instances are to be found in Hume's Treatise and Enquiry. In response to the Objection from Scepticism, Lewis suggests, in effect, that any argument for the conclusion that the modal realist cannot reasonably trust induction must really be a Hume Argument in disguise. If the Objection from Scepticism is really a Hume Argument, then it is illegitimate; Hume Arguments tar everyone with the same brush, and so cannot provide the basis for a legitimate objection to anyone's theory in particular. I will try to formulate the Objection from Scepticism so as to make it quite clear that it is specific to modal realism. But it is worth considering whether the objection might, after all, have a connection with some Hume Arguments. Few, if any, philosophers are willing to embrace scepticism towards induction, but it is often difficult to see what is wrong with a particular Hume Argument. Perhaps what is wrong with some Hume Arguments is that they implicitly incorporate one or more assumptions to which not everyone is committed regardless of his theory of modality. If this is so, then the Objection from Scepticism may be interesting

The observation of hole traps in small-signal GaAs MESFETs has been extensively reported in the literature and has been atributed to trapping at the active layer/substrate interface. Evidence is presented here to suggest that the main contribution to the `hole trap-like? spectrum in conductance DLTS is the modulation of the surface depletion layer in the ungated access regions of the device.

Wide-field near-infrared and blue band plates of the region containing the M17 giant molecular cloud complex have been blinked to locate bright near-infrared stars that may be embedded in the M17 SW giant molecular cloud. Twenty such stars coincided with the positions of IRAS point sources that appeared embedded based on color-color diagrams. Some of these stars may be the sources of the infrared luminosities. Of the 20 stars, seven were too faint to appear on the B band plate. The optical magnitudes and colors determined from the plate image diameters were measured for the other 13 coincident stars; they are most likely upper main-sequence or pre-main-sequence stars with extinctions of 7 mag. The IRAS luminosity-temperature diagram indicates that the embedded sources in M17 are more massive than those in the Orion cloud. 35 references.
