Design of a TE42,7 coaxial cavity for a 1 MW, 280 GHz gyrotron

To provide the required mode selectivity for a 1 MW, 280 GHz gyrotron, a coaxial resonator operating in the high order TE_42,7 mode is considered. Mode discrimination is achieved both by exploring selective ohmic effects and examining the electrodynamic properties of the coaxial cylindrical waveguide. Analytic results indicate the effectiveness of a coaxial insert with a low electrical conductivity in rarefying the mode density of overmoded, megawatt hollow cavities.     

A high-efficiency quasi-optical mode converter for a 140-GHz 1-MW CW gyrotron

A highly efficient quasi-optical mode converter system with several novel features has been designed and tested at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (FZK). The converter consists of a dimpled-wall waveguide launcher, one quasi-elliptical mirror and two toroidal mirrors. The coupled-mode theory has been used to analyze the operation of the prebunching waveguide launcher; the radiated fields from the cut of the launcher have been calculated by the scalar diffraction integral. Simulation results show that the advanced dimpled-wall launcher generates a well-focused Gaussian radiation pattern with low diffraction losses. In this case, toroidal mirrors are sufficient to obtain a desired output beam pattern. An efficiency of more than 98% has been achieved to convert the rotating TE/sub 28,8/ cavity mode at 140 GHz into a fundamental Gaussian beam. Experimental measurements show close agreement with theoretical predictions.     

Design of a 1-MW,CW coaxial gyrotron with two gaussian beam outputs

The design of a 170 GHz, 1 MW-CW gyrotron for electron cyclotron heating of nuclear fusion plasmas is presented. The designed gyrotron incorporates a coaxial cavity to reduce mode competition, and a coaxial electron gun to support the cavity inner conductor. A new mode converter splits the generated wave into two beams and radiates them in different directions. The radiated beams are transmitted to two output windows through two mirror systems, being transformed into Gaussian-like beams. A single-stage depressed collector improves the overall efficiency of the gyrotron and reduces the heat flux to the collector surface.

InGaAs-InP DHBTs for increased digital IC bandwidth having a 391-GHz f/sub /spl tau// and 505-GHz f/sub max/

InP-In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As-InP double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBT) have been designed for use in high bandwidth digital and analog circuits, and fabricated using a conventional mesa structure. These devices exhibit a maximum 391-GHz f/sub /spl tau// and 505-GHz f/sub max/, which is the highest f/sub /spl tau// reported for an InP DHBT-as well as the highest simultaneous f/sub /spl tau// and f/sub max/ for any mesa HBT. The devices have been aggressively scaled laterally for reduced base-collector capacitance C/sub cb/. In addition, the base sheet resistance /spl rho//sub s/ along with the base and emitter contact resistivities /spl rho//sub c/ have been lowered. The dc current gain /spl beta/ is /spl ap/36 and V/sub BR,CEO/=5.1 V. The devices reported here employ a 30-nm highly doped InGaAs base, and a 150-nm collector containing an InGaAs-InAlAs superlattice grade at the base-collector junction. From this device design we also report a 142-GHz static frequency divider (a digital figure of merit for a device technology) fabricated on the same wafer. The divider operation is fully static, operating from f/sub clk/=3 to 142.0 GHz while dissipating /spl ap/800 mW of power in the circuit core. The circuit employs single-buffered emitter coupled logic (ECL) and inductive peaking. A microstrip wiring environment is employed for high interconnect density, and to minimize loss and impedance mismatch at frequencies >100 GHz.

Approximate Crank-Nicolson schemes for the 2-D finite-difference time-domain method for TE/sub z/ waves

Two implicit finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods are presented in this paper for a two-dimensional TE/sub z/ wave, which are based on the unconditionally-stable Crank-Nicolson scheme. To treat PEC boundaries efficiently, the methods deal with the electric field components rather than the magnetic field. The "approximate-decoupling method" solves two tridiagonal matrices and computes only one explicit equation for a full update cycle. It has the same numerical dispersion relation as the ADI-FDTD method. The "cycle-sweep method" solves two tridiagonal matrices, and computes two equations explicitly for a full update cycle. It has the same numerical dispersion relation as the previously-reported Crank-Nicolson-Douglas-Gunn algorithm, which solves for the magnetic field. The cycle-sweep method has much smaller numerical anisotropy than the approximate-decoupling method, though the dispersion error is the same along the axes as, and larger along the 45/spl deg/ diagonal than ADI-FDTD. With different formulations, two algorithms for the approximate-decoupling method and four algorithms for the cycle-sweep method are presented. All the six algorithms are strictly nondissipative, unconditionally stable, and are tested by numerical computation in this paper. The numerical dispersion relations are validated by numerical experiments, and very good agreement between the experiments and the theoretical predication is obtained.

The production of spiral relativistic electron beams in a TE/sub 111/ gyroresonant accelerator cavity for injection into a compact high-harmonic gyrotron is studied. Parametric studies are performed to determine the effects of variations in the background magnetic field amplitude, the RF amplitude in the cavity, and the initial beam voltage on the output beam.The effects of velocity spread and a finite radial extent of the input beam are also discussed. Power curves for obtaining optimum operating regimes for the TE /sub111/ accelerator are provided.     

Theoretical investigation of excitonic gain in ZnO--Mg/sub x/Zn/sub 1-x/O strained quantum wells

Free-excitonic gain of wurtzite ZnO--Mg/sub x/Zn/sub 1-x/O quantum wells(QWs) is studied theoretically. The valence band structure of ZnO--Mg/sub x/Zn/sub 1-x/O QWs with the consideration of biaxial strain and exciton-phonon interaction is calculated based on a 6/spl times/6 Hamiltonian. From the available experimental data, the band offset ratio and conduction band deformation potential of ZnO--Mg/sub x/Zn/sub 1-x/O QWs are found to be 60/40 and -6.8eV, respectively. The influence of biaxial strain on the peak free-excitonic gain of ZnO--Mg/sub x/Zn/sub 1-x/O QWs for various well-width and mole fraction of Mg is also investigated.     

Design of a new cavity for a low-power tunable gyrotron

A new cavity design for a tunable gyrotron, with reduced mode conversion over a broad frequency range, is described. With most of the output power in the same mode as that in the cavity, there will be no need to adjust the position and orientation of the elements of the quasioptical antenna whenever the frequency is changed.     

An optical investigation of electronic excitations in the high temperature superconductors YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7- delta / and Bi/sub 2/Sr/sub 2/CaCu/sub 2/O/sub 8+ Delta /

The results of Raman scattering from superconducting gap excitations in the high T/sub c/ compounds YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7- delta / and Bi/sub 2/Sr/sub 2/CaCu/sub 2/O/sub 8+ Delta / are compared. In the normal state, both materials exhibit strong electronic interband scattering which manifests itself as a broad background continuum having both A/sub 1g/ and B/sub 1g/ symmetry components. At low temperatures a redistribution of this electronic scattering occurs, indicative of the formation of a superconducting gap in these compounds. The two symmetries exhibit distinct redistribution, however, denoting strong anisotropy. At temperatures well below T/sub c/, both compounds exhibit residual low-energy scattering, a feature suggestive of the coexistence of normal electrons and superconducting quasi-particles.<>     

Theoretical and experimental investigation of Si nanocrystal memory device with HfO/sub 2/ high-k tunneling dielectric

In this paper, silicon (Si) nanocrystal memory using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) HfO/sub 2/ high-k dielectrics to replace the traditional SiO/sub 2/ tunneling/control dielectrics has been fabricated and characterized for the first time. The advantages of this approach for improved nanocrystal memory operation have also been studied theoretically. Results show that due to its unique band asymmetry in programming and retention mode, the use of high-k dielectric on Si offers lower electron barrier height at dielectric/Si interface and larger physical thickness, resulting in a much higher J/sub g,programming//J/sub g,retention/ ratio than that in SiO/sub 2/ and therefore faster programming and longer retention. The fabricated device with CVD HfO/sub 2/ shows excellent programming efficiency and data-retention characteristics, thanks to the combination of a lower electron barrier height and a larger physical thickness of HfO/sub 2/ as compared with SiO/sub 2/ of the same electrical oxide thickness (EOT). It also shows clear single-electron charging effect at room temperature and superior data endurance up to 10/sup 6/ write/erase cycles.     

The Susceptance of an Annular Metallic Strip in a Circular Waveguide with Incident TE/sub 01/ Mode

The principal aims of this paper are twofold: 1) to solve the problem of the scattering of a thin, perfectly conducting aonular strip suspended in a multimodal circular waveguide in which any number of TE/sub 0n/ modes can propagate, and with the aid of this result, 2) to give the susceptance of the thin annular strip in monomodal circular guide with an incident TE/sub 01/ mode. These are treated with a variational approach. Applying the appropriate Green's functions to the continuity equations for the transverse electric field yields a variational expansion for the scattering matrix elements. This is treated with a Rayleigh-Ritz procedure and matrix methods. Curves of normalized susceptance as a function of the free-space wavelength and the size of the annular metallic strip are shown. These results are in good agreement with experimental data. Tables of the scattering coefficients for a typical wavelength versus strip size are also included.     

Design and analysis of a coaxial coupler for a 35-GHz gyroklystronamplifier

A single rectangular TE₁₀ feed four-slot coaxial coupler is designed and built for excitation of a TE₀₁₁ cylindrical cavity mode for use in high-power millimeter-wavelength gyroklystron amplifiers. A high degree of mode purity is obtained and matching of the cavity to the input line is studied. A model based on the mode-matching technique and dipole radiators has been formulated to predict operation of this coupler. The resulting numerical code is capable of finding resonant frequency and cavity bandwidth in a small fraction of the time taken by more general finite-difference/finite-element design tools. The model can be extended to self-consistently include an electron beam, and the model is compared to a coupler design based on Hewlett-Packard's High-Frequency Structure Simulator code. The coupler has been successfully used in a high-power gyroklystron-amplifier experiment     

A 54-GHz distributed amplifier with 6-V/sub PP/ output for a 40-Gb/s LiNbO/sub 3/ modulator driver

We have developed a distributed amplifier for a LiNbO/sub 3/ modulator driver using double-doped AlGaAs-InGaAs-AlGaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors (p-HEMTs). By using a stabilization and negative resistance control technique with source inductance and grounded coplanar waveguided lines, we obtained a gain of 15 dB, a bandwidth of 54 GHz, and 6-V/sub PP/ output. These results indicate that our circuit is a leading candidate for use as a LiNbO/sub 3/ modulator driver in 40-Gb/s fiber-optic communication systems.     

Robust high-quality HfN-HfO/sub 2/ gate stack for advanced MOS device applications

In this letter, a thermally stable and high-quality HfN-HfO/sub 2/ gate stack for advanced MOS applications is reported for the first time. Negligible changes in both equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) and work function of HfN-HfO/sub 2/ gate stack are demonstrated even after 1000/spl deg/C postmetal annealing (PMA), which is attributed to the superior oxygen diffusion barrier property of HfN as well as the thermal stability of the HfN-HfO/sub 2/ interface. Therefore, even without surface nitridation prior to HfO/sub 2/ deposition, the EOT of HfN-HfO/sub 2/ gate stack can be successfully scaled down to less than 10 /spl Aring/ after 1000/spl deg/C PMA with excellent leakage and long-term reliability.

采用TE34,10-模式开展了140 GHz兆瓦级圆柱回旋管腔体的设计和优化,并分析了工作模的模式竞争情况。由于两个邻近模式TE33,10-和TE31,11+的竞争TE34,10-未能在高效率区稳定振荡,使得输出功率显著降低。为了抑制模式竞争计算了工作模和两个竞争模的滞回曲线,结果表明,TE34,10-能够在磁场由其低功率振荡区下降时对竞争模形成抑制,而在磁场由低到高时则由于竞争模的率先起振反而被竞争模所抑制。基于此设计了由5.59 T下降至5.51 T的时变磁场曲线,在此磁场下开展了包含42个模式在内的多模时域计算,结果表明竞争模式被有效抑制,工作模在此磁场曲线下能够稳定获得0.96 MW的稳定输出功率,对应的电子效率为36.7%,频率为140 GHz。     

Influence of Conductor Shields on the Q-Factors of a TE /sub 0/ Dielectric Resonator

Two approaches due to the complex frequency and to the perturbation theory are described to compute accurately the Q-factors of the circularly-symmetric TEO modes for dielectric rod resonators placed between two parallel conductor plates and in a conductor cavity. These techniques allow us to estimate separately the Q-factors due to radiation, conductor, and dielectric losses from only the computation of resonant frequencies by means of the mode-matching method. Validity of the theories is verified by experiments. The influence of the conductor shields on the Q-factors is discussed from the computed results. A possibility of realizing high-Q dielectric resonators is suggested.
