HOW THE PERFORMANCES, SONG LYRICS, AND ACTIVISM OF THE INDIGO GIRLS DEMONSTRATE THE MUTABLE COMPOSITION OF SOUTHERN IDENTITY by ALISON LAW Under the Direction of Gina Caison, Ph.D. ABSTRACT A common misconception about the southern region of the United States is that any one part of the region can stand alone as an accurate representation of the territory as a whole. To refute any notion of a homogeneous South and demonstrate the dynamic nature of an individual or community identity, I examine the history, song lyrics, performances, and activism of the folk-rock duo the Indigo Girls and their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. This project applies the theories of locational feminism found in Susan Stanford Friedman’s Mappings and New Southern Studies in Tara McPherson’s text Reconstructing Dixie . Analyzing the biographies, song lyrics, performances, and activism of the Indigo Girls as an archive of southern literature allows us to understand the fluid, multiplex nature of regional identity and view Atlanta as one “borderland” in a heterogeneous U.S.

SEMICONDUCTORS AND DIELECTRICS Stark Structure of the Spectrum and Decay Kinetics of the Er3+ Photoluminescence in Pseudoamorphous a-nc-GaN Films A. A. Andreev Ioffe Physicotechnical Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Politekhnicheskaya ul. 26, St. Petersburg, 194021 Russia Received April 29, 2003 Abstract—Amorphous films containing nanocrystalline inclusions, a-nc-GaN, were codoped with Er in the course of magnetron sputtering. Intense intracenter emission of Er3+ ions in the wavelength region λ = 1510– 1550 nm was obtained only after multistage annealing at temperatures of 650–770°C. The intracenter emission was excited indirectly through electron–hole pair generation in the a-nc-GaN matrix by a pulsed nitrogen laser. Subsequent recombination via a number of localized states in the band gap transferred the excitation energy to the Er3+ ions. Measurements of photoluminescence (PL) spectra carried out with time resolution in various annealing stages at different temperatures in the range 77–500 K and in the course of decay permitted us to establish the Stark nature of the PL spectrum and to reveal the dynamic and nonequilibrium character of redis- tribution of the intracenter emission energy among the Stark modes in the course of the excitation pulse relax- ation. The information thus obtained was used to interpret the dominant hot-mode contribution and the complex decay kinetics. © 2004 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”. 1.
