Electronic transport in a type-II GaInAsSb/p-InAs heterojunction with different doping levels of the solid solution

Galvanomagnetic phenomena and photoconductivity in broken-gap type-II GaInAsSb/p-InAs heterojunctions with different levels of doping of the solid solution with donor (Te) or acceptor (Zn) impurities have been investigated. It has been determined that in such structures an electronic channel, which determines the galvanomagnetic effects in a wide range of doping levels, is present at the heterojunction. A sharp decrease of the Hall mobility was observed in the experimental heterostructures with a high level of doping of the epitaxial layer with an acceptor impurity. The observed effect is due to exhaustion of the electronic channel as a result of carrier localization in potential wells at the heterojunction. Fiz. Tekh.

Fine Purification of Monoisotopic Silanes 28SiH4 , 29SiH4 , and 30SiH4 via Distillation

High-purity isotopically enriched (99.98% ²⁸Si, 99.57% ²⁹Si, and 99.83% ³⁰Si) silane samples are prepared for the first time. The total hydrocarbon content of the samples is no higher than 0.1–0.3 ppm. The concentration of electroactive impurities in the silicon prepared from the purified monoisotopic silane is below 10¹⁵ cm^–3.     

Multifrequency gyrotron with high-efficiency synthesized waveguide converter

The results of numerical simulation and experimental investigation of a prototype of a megawatt multifrequency gyrotron for controlled thermonuclear fusion facilities are presented. In experiments, the gyrotron has operated at six frequencies in the range 105–152 GHz with small diffraction losses in the internal quasi-optical system and a high Gaussian mode content in the output beam.     

Magnetotransport properties of type II heterojunctions based on GaInAsSb/InAs and GaInAsSb/GaSb

The results of detailed study of the magnetotransport properties of broken-gap type II heterojunctions in a GaInAsSb/InAs(GaSb) system are reported. An electron channel with a high charge-carrier mobility (as high as 50000–60000 cm²/(V s)) is observed and studied for the first time in an isotype broken-gap p-GaInAsSb/p-InAs heterostructure. The effects of electron-channel depletion and semimetal-semiconductor transition in the case of heavy doping of the quaternary alloy with acceptors are studied. Magnetotransport properties at temperatures of 4.2–200 K are studied in detail. Data on the energy spectrum and parameters of two-dimensional charge carriers at the heteroboundary are obtained. It is ascertained experimentally that, depending on the composition, either staggered (at x = 0.85) or broken-gap (at x = 0.95) heterojunctions can be formed in the Ga_1?x In_xAs_ySb_1?y /GaSb, which is confirmed by theoretical calculations. The anomalous Hall effect and negative magnetoresistance were observed in GaInAsSb/InAs:Mn grown on substrates doped heavily with Mn magnetic acceptor impurity so that the hole concentration was as high as p > 5 × 10¹⁸ cm^?3; these phenomena are caused by exchange interaction of Mn ions in InAs with high-mobility charge carriers in the electron channel at the heterointerface.

Structure and mechanical properties of alloys Ti-2.2% Al-2.2% V-2.2% Mo-2.5% Fe and Ti-2.2% Al-5% Fe equivalent to alloy VT16

Comparative studies of the structure and properties of alloys Ti-2.2% Al-5% Fe and Ti-2.2% Al-2.2% V-2.2% Mo-2.5% Fe in annealed, quenched, and aged conditions are performed. The strength level of the alloys corresponds to that of VT16. The possibility of replacing alloy VT16 by alloy Ti-2.2% Al-2.2% V-2.2% Mo-2.5% Fe is estimated. __________ Translated from Metallovedenie i Termicheskaya Obrabotka Metallov, No. 6, pp. 10–13, June, 2006.     

Modern conveyor transportation and prospects for its use in hydraulic construction

An analysis of the experience in the Soviet Union and in foreign countries with conveyor transportation in the mining industry, as well as with use of conveyors in hydraulic construction shows that the introduction of conveyor transportation in the field of construction of embankment dams in this country, for delivery of earth-rock material from quarries, as well as for carrying raw materials to concentrating plants processing nonmetallic minerals, will make it possible.

Asymptotic analysis of a multistage queuing system with a high-rate renewal arrival process

This paper presents a study of an infinite-server multistage queuing system with a high-rate renewal arrival process and arbitrary service time. It is shown that under the condition of infinitely increasing rate of arrival, the multidimensional distribution of the probabilities of the number of servers employed to service stages of the system can be approximated by a multidimensional normal distribution. The expectation vector and the covariance matrix of this distribution were obtained.
