Cleaning Method of InSb [-1-1-1] B of n- InSb [111] A/B for growth of epitaxial layers by liquid phase epitaxy

The crystal structure of InSb [111] A/B surfaces shows that this structure is polarized. This means that the surfaces of InSb [111] A and InSb [1 1 1] B contain two different crystallized directions and they have different physical and chemical properties. Experiments were carried out on the InSb [111] A/B surfaces, showing that tartaric acid etchant could create a very smooth surface on the InSb [1 1 1] B without any traces of oxides and etch pit but simultaneously create etch pit on InSb [111] A surfaces. After lapping and polishing, some particles remained on the InSb [1 1 1] B surface, they could not be removed easily by standard cleaning process and if these particles remain on the surface of the substrate, the growth layer was not uniform and some island-like regions were observed. The purpose of this work is to remove these particles on the InSb [1 1 1] B surface. Some morphology images of both surfaces, InSb [111] A/B, will be presented.

Characteristics of the nutrition of the male population of Ufa

The method of daily ration reproduction was used to study the actual nutrition of 25% of male subsampling comprising 674 subjects, during the epidemiological investigation of unorganized male population in a region of Ufa. The results of the study have shown that the caloric value of their nutrition does not exceed the established standards and is diminished with age. Protein consumption meets the physiological requirements, animal proteins prevail in their structure. Carbohydrate consumption is low, mainly at the expense of starch, while the share of sugar is high. Fat consumption exceeds the values recommended, mainly at the expense of saturated fatty acids. Cholesterol consumption is excessive. The established nutrition imbalance of the main food substances has evidenced the atherogenic character of the population nutrition, prevalence of animal food products in its structure, that should be taken into consideration when measures for the prevention of coronary heart disease are elaborated.     

A theoretical model of thulium-doped silica fiber's ASE in the 1900 nm waveband

A theoretical model in the 1900 nm waveband for amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of thulium-doped silica fiber is presented. The ASE spectral power as functions of the fiber length and the pump power is investigated by solving the rate and propagation equations. By calculation, when the concentration of thulium in fiber is 2.25×1025 m-3, the fiber core diameter is 2.6 μm, and the pump power is 200 mW at 808 nm, the optimal fiber length is 8.1 m, and the output power of ASE can reach 60 mW in the range o...

Training Sequence Aided Signature Waveform Estimation

In code division multiple access channels multiuser detection techniques are known to be effective strategies to counter the presence of multiuser interference towards improving spectral efficiency. Generally, multiuser detectors can provide excellent performance only when the signature waveforms of all users are precisely known. Hence, the estimation of signature waveforms is a challenging issue in mobile communication systems. In this paper, we compare the performance of two short training sequence aided signature waveform estimators. One is maximum likelihood type signature waveform estimator that requires the knowledge of spreading sequences and short training sequences. The other estimator is recently proposed based on subspace method and requires the knowledge of training sequences only. Through the simulations, we show the signature waveform estimation performance of both systems and the effect of the estimation error on the performance of a multiuser detector. The complexity comparisons of both systems are also given. We use the term “signature waveform” to refer to the convolution of the channel and the spreading code throughout the paper.
