CO₂-Laser Induced Hot Electron Magneto-Transport Effects in n-InSb

Description: The effects of optical heating via infrared free carrier absorption on the electron magneto-transport properties of n-InSb at helium temperatures have been studied for the first time. Oscillatory photoconductivity (OPC) type structure is seen in the photon energy dependence of the transport properties. A C0₂ laser (hω = 115 to 135 meV) was used as the optical source. Concentrations between 1 x 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ and 2 x 10¹⁶ cm⁻³ were studied. The conclusions of this study are that the energy relaxatio… more

Formation of Supersaturated Alloys by Ion Implantation and Pulsed-Laser Annealing

Description: Supersaturated substitutional alloys formed by ion implantation and rapid liquid-phase epitaxial regrowth induced by pulsed-laser annealing have been studied using Rutherford-backscattering and ion-channeling analysis. A series of impurities (As, Sb, Bi, Ga, In, Fe, Sn, Cu) have been implanted into single-crystal (001) orientation silicon at doses ranging from 1 x 10^15/cm2 to 1 x 10^17/cm2. The samples were subsequently annealed with a Ω-switched ruby laser (energy density ~1.5 J/cm2, pulse du… more

Automatic Frequency Control of Microwave Radiation Sources

Description: Resonant cavity controlled klystron frequency stabilization circuits and quartz-crystal oscillator frequency stabilization circuits were investigated for reflex klystrons operating at frequencies in the X-band range. The crystal oscillator circuit employed achieved better than 2 parts in 10 in frequency stability. A test of the functional properties of the frequency standard was made using the Stark effect in molecules.
