Effect Of Excess Pbo On The Sintering Characteristics And Dielectric Properties Of Pb(Mg1/3nb2/3)O3–Pbtio3‐Based Ceramics, Jyoti P. Guha, Dyllan J. Hong, Harlan U. Anderson Jan 1988

Effect Of Excess Pbo On The Sintering Characteristics And Dielectric Properties Of Pb(Mg1/3nb2/3)O3–Pbtio3‐Based Ceramics, Jyoti P. Guha, Dyllan J. Hong, Harlan U. Anderson

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Additions of excess PbO to the perovskite Pb[(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.92Ti0.08]O3 solid solution enhanced the formation of a liquid phase at 840°C, which served as a densification aid for the ceramics. The liquid phase allowed elimination of pores and promoted grain growth during sintering. With additions of 1 to 2 wt% excess PbO, densities in excess of 97% of theoretical were obtained at a sintering temperature of 950°C. The peak dielectric constants of the resulting ceramics were over 18 000 at 30°C and dissipation factors less than 1%. Additions of PbO in excess of …

An Investigation Of The Micro-Surfaces Of Fiber Glass, Window Glass, Bottle Glass, And Quartz Crystal Through The Use Of Scanning Electron Microscopy, Raymond C. Friedrichsen Jan 1988

An Investigation Of The Micro-Surfaces Of Fiber Glass, Window Glass, Bottle Glass, And Quartz Crystal Through The Use Of Scanning Electron Microscopy, Raymond C. Friedrichsen

Graduate Research Papers

The problem of this study is to investigate the surfaces of quartz crystal, bottle glass, window glass, and fiber glass, to determine if there are any substantial differences in their structures when compared to a fiber optic material. The investigation will be done with the aid of the scanning electron microscope {SEM).


Technical Report El-88-18: Reliability Of The Federally Owned Water Main System, Donald V. Chase, Lindell Ormsbee, Thomas M. Walski Jan 1988

Technical Report El-88-18: Reliability Of The Federally Owned Water Main System, Donald V. Chase, Lindell Ormsbee, Thomas M. Walski

Civil and Environmental Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Faculty Publications

The reliability of the Federally Owned Water Main (FOWM) system was examined, and recommendations to improve system reliability are made. The existing FOWM system is very dependent upon three different pipe links.

The first and most important link is the Francis Scott Key Bridge river crossing. This link carries the entire FOWM supply, and if taken out of service, an alternate means of supply must be used. At present, the only alternate source of supply is through interconnections with the adjacent Arlington County, Virginia, system.

The second vital link is the 30-in. steel main which extends from the Key Bridge …

Strains In Si-Onsio2 Structures Formed By Oxygen Implantation: Raman Scattering Characterization, D.J. Olego, H. Baumgart, G.K. Celler Jan 1988

Strains In Si-Onsio2 Structures Formed By Oxygen Implantation: Raman Scattering Characterization, D.J. Olego, H. Baumgart, G.K. Celler

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Low-temperature Raman scattering measurements were carried out to characterize Si-on-SiO2 structures formed by oxygen implantation and subsequent furnace or lamp annealing. The experiments were conducted with 413.1 nm laser light to probe only the thin Si layers at the top of the structures. The Raman spectra of the furnace-annealed samples are red shifted and broadened when compared with a virgin Si surface. The shifts and broadenings decrease with increasing annealing temperatures but they are still present in samples annealed above 1250°C for 3 h. No shifts or broadenings affect the Raman peaks of the layers, which were lamp annealed …


Raman Scattering Characterization Of The Microscopic Structure Of Semi-Insulating Polycrystalline Si Thin Films, D.J. Olego, H. Baumgart Jan 1988

Raman Scattering Characterization Of The Microscopic Structure Of Semi-Insulating Polycrystalline Si Thin Films, D.J. Olego, H. Baumgart

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Raman scattering experiments were carried out to study the microscopic structure of semi-insulating polycrystalline Si (SIPOS) thin films prepared by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition. The samples contain 18, 25, and 30 at. % of oxygen and after growth they were annealed at 900 and 1000°C for 30 min. The Raman spectra show in the vibrational region of the optical frequencies of Si two bands, which arise from scattering in crystalline grains and disordered forms of Si. The behavior of these bands as a function of oxygen content and annealing temperatures was established in detail. The crystallinelike band peaks below the …


An Optically Controlled Closing And Opening Semiconductor Switch, K. H. Schoenbach, V. K. Lakdawala, R. Germer, S. T. Ko Jan 1988

An Optically Controlled Closing And Opening Semiconductor Switch, K. H. Schoenbach, V. K. Lakdawala, R. Germer, S. T. Ko

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

A concept for a bulk semiconductor switch is presented, where the conductivity is increased and reduced, respectively, through illumination with light of different wavelengths. The increase in conductivity is accomplished by electron ionization from deep centers and generation of bound holes. The reduction of conductivity is obtained by hole ionization from the excited centers and subsequent recombination of free electrons and holes. The transient behavior of electron and hole density in a high power semiconductor (GaAs:Cu) switch is computed by means of a rate equation model. Changes in conductivity by five orders of magnitude can be obtained.
