Abstract The physics of recombination lines in the Heisinglet system is expected to be relatively simple, supported by accurate atomic models. We examine the intensities of Heisingletsλ3614, λ3965, λ5016, λ6678, and λ7281 and the triplet Heiλ5876 in various types of ionized nebulae and compare them with theoretical predictions to test the validity of the “Case B” recombination scenario and the assumption of thermal homogeneity. Our analysis includes 85 spectra from Galactic and extragalactic Hiiregions, 90 from star-forming galaxies, and 218 from planetary nebulae, all compiled by the Deep Spectra of Ionized Regions Database Extended (DESIRED-E) project. By evaluating the ratios Heiλ7281/λ6678 and Heiλ7281/λ5876, we determineTe(Hei) and compare it with direct measurements ofTe([Oiii]λ4363/λ5007). We find thatTe(Hei) is systematically lower thanTe([Oiii]) across most objects and nebula types. Additionally, we identify a correlation between the abundance discrepancy factor (ADF(O2+)) and the differenceTe([Oiii]) –Te(Hei) for planetary nebulae. We explore two potential explanations: photon loss fromn1P → 11Stransitions and temperature inhomogeneities. Deviations from “Case B” may indicate photon absorption by Hirather than Heiand/or generalized ionizing photon escape, highlighting the need for detailed consideration of radiative transfer effects. If temperature inhomogeneities are widespread, identifying a common physical phenomenon affecting all ionized nebulae is crucial. Our results suggest that both scenarios can contribute to the observed discrepancies.more » « less

Secondary‐ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is used to determine impurity concentrations of carbon and oxygen in two scandium‐containing nitride semiconductor multilayer heterostructures: ScxGa1−xN/GaN and ScxAl1−xN/AlN grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). In the ScxGa1−xN/GaN heterostructure grown in metal‐rich conditions on GaN–SiC template substrates with Sc contents up to 28 at%, the oxygen concentration is found to be below 1 × 1019 cm−3, with an increase directly correlated with the scandium content. In the ScxAl1−xN–AlN heterostructure grown in nitrogen‐rich conditions on AlN–Al2O3template substrates with Sc contents up to 26 at%, the oxygen concentration is found to be between 1019and 1021 cm−3, again directly correlated with the Sc content. The increase in oxygen and carbon takes place during the deposition of scandium‐alloyed layers.more » « less

Abstract One of the most fundamental baryonic matter components of galaxies is the neutral atomic hydrogen (Hi). At low redshifts, this component can be traced directly through the 21 cm transition, but to infer the Higas content of the most distant galaxies, a viable tracer is needed. We here investigate the fidelity of the fine-structure transition of the (2P3/2−2P1/3) transition of singly ionized carbon Ciiat 158μm as a proxy for Hiin a set simulated galaxies atz≈ 6, following the work by Heintz et al. We select 11,125 star-forming galaxies from thesimbasimulations, with far-infrared line emissions postprocessed and modeled within the Sigameframework. We find a strong connection between Ciiand Hi, with the relation between this Cii-to-Hirelation (β[CII]) being anticorrelated with the gas-phase metallicity of the simulated galaxies. We further use these simulations to make predictions for the total baryonic matter content of galaxies atz≈ 6, and specifically the Higas mass fraction. We find mean values ofMH I/M⋆= 1.4 andMH I/Mbar,tot= 0.45. These results provide strong evidence for Hibeing the dominant baryonic matter component by mass in galaxies atz≈ 6.more » « less

Abstract We report the detection of the [Oiii] auroral line in 42 galaxies within the redshift range of 3 <z< 10. These galaxies were selected from publicly available JWST data releases, including the JADES and PRIMAL surveys, and observed using both the low-resolution PRISM/CLEAR configuration and medium-resolution gratings. The measured electron temperatures in the high-ionization regions of these galaxies range fromTe([Oiii]) = 12,000 to 24,000 K, consistent with temperatures observed in local metal-poor galaxies and previous JWST studies. In 10 galaxies, we also detect the [Oii] auroral line, allowing us to determine electron temperatures in the low-ionization regions, which range betweenTe([Oii]) = 10,830 and 20,000 K. The directTe-based metallicities of our sample span from 12 + log(O/H) = 7.2 to 8.4, indicating these high-redshift galaxies are relatively metal-poor. By combining our sample with 25 galaxies from the literature, we expand the data set to a total of 67 galaxies within 3 <z< 10, effectively more than doubling the previous sample size for directTe-based metallicity studies. This larger data set allows us to derive empirical metallicity calibration relations based exclusively on high-redshift galaxies, using six key line ratios: R3, R2, R23, Ne3O2, O32, and O3N2. Notably, we derive a novel metallicity calibration relation for the first time using high-redshiftTe-based metallicities: = 0.18log R2 + 0.98log R3. This new calibration significantly reduces the scatter in high-redshift galaxies compared to the relation previously calibrated for low-redshift galaxies.more » « less
