Convergence of the two-centre atomic orbital (TCAO) close-coupling calculations for the excitation and ionization of atomic hydrogen by keV proton impact is carefully examined using various large basis sets on each centre; It is shown that reliable cross sections for the weak channels can only be obtained with a large number of basis states on the target and a limited number of bound states on the projectile. Cross sections for excitation to 2l, 3l, 4l and 5l states and for ionization are presented and compared to available experimental data and to other theoretical calculations.

The non-linear motion of a symmetric gyro mounted on a vibrating base is investigated, with particular emphasis on its long-term dynamic behaviour for a wide range of parameters. A single modal equation is used to analyze the qualitative behavior of the system. External disturbance appears as vertical harmonic motion of the support point and linear damping is assumed. The complete equation of motion is a non-linear non-autonomous one. The stability of the system has been studied by damped Mathieu equation theory and the Liapunov direct method. As the system is subjected to external disturbance, the Melnikov method is used to show the existence of chaotic motion. Finally, the bifurcation of the parameter dependent system is studied numerically. The time evolutions of the non-linear dynamical system responses are described in phase portraits via the Poincare map technique. The occurrence and the nature of chaotic attractors are verified by evaluating Liapunov exponents and average power spectra. The effect of the gyroscope's spinning speed is also studied, and it is shown that the gyroscope's spin velocity oz has a significant effect on the dynamic behavior of the motion.

Members of the autotrophic species, Thiobacillus thioparus CH11, were isolated from swine wastewater and immobilized with Ca-alginate to produce pellet packing materials for a novel biofilter system that controls hydrogen sulfide emission. The effect of operating parameters, including retention time, temperature, and inlet gas concentration, on the removal efficiency and capacity was evaluated. Criteria necessary for a scale-up design of the biofilter were established and the sulfur balances at various loadings were tabulated. High and satisfactory H2S removal efficiency levels were maintained during operation and the optimal retention time was found to be 28 a corresponding to a H2S removal efficiency greater than 98%. The pH drop was insignificant in this biofilter. The optimal inlet S-loading can be noted as 25 g m(-3) h(-1) that is at the upper end of linear correlation between inlet loading and removal capacity. We suggest that the Thiobacillus thioparus CH11 immobilized with Ca-alginate is a potent method to control hydrogen sulfide emissions. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science B.V.
Mechanism of transesterification and cyclization of epoxy-polycarbonate blends catalyzed by quarternary ammonium salt

The reaction of oxirane with carbonate using quarternary ammonium salts as catalyst has been studied. Curing is caused by the transesterification reaction of the oxirane cycle with the carbonate group that proceeds by an ''insertion'' mechanism in the stoichiometric system. The ratio of the reactants is two oxirane groups to one carbonate group. In the nonstoichiometric system, the epoxide content is more than the stoichiometric quantity required. A cyclization reaction is followed by the transesterification reaction. To identify the finished products, a model reaction was proposed using diphenyl carbonate and phenyl glycidyl ether which results in the formation of 4-phenoxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-one (PMD). The mechanism of forming the cyclic structure is assumed to proceed through the chain scission of the network in which the molecular chain crosslinked with carbonate group by a transesterification reaction.

The problem of robust Kalman filter synthesis is considered in this present study for discrete multiple time-delay stochastic systems with parametric and noise uncertainties. A discrete multiple time-delay uncertain stochastic system can be transformed into another uncertain stochastic system with no delay by properly defining state variables. Minimax theory and Bellman-Gronwall lemma are employed on the basis of the upper norm-bounds of parametric uncertainties and noise uncertainties. A robust criterion can consequently be derived which guarantees the asymptotic stability of the uncertain stochastic system. Designed procedures are finally elaborated upon with an illustrative example.

A fast algorithm for determining the near-field characteristics of an insulated dipole antenna (IDA) embedded in a homogenous dissipative medium is described in this paper. A thin-wire-approximation type of analysis is followed here. In this case, radiation is considered to originate from a filamentary current flowing along the axis of the dipole, which is surrounded immediately hy the ambient dissipative medium, The translational symmetry inherent in the resultant radiation integrals is then exploited to speed up the computation. In one case studied, the basic thin-wire approach that uses no symmetry property is found to yield accurate results in approximately 380 times less CPU time than the traditional King-Casey approach, In another case, use of symmetry property further reduces the CPU time by a factor of 7; additional reduction in CPU time is possible by taking into account the near-field nature of the problem.
Au/Ge/Pd ohmic contacts to n-GaAs with the Mo/Ti diffusion barrier

The influences of the As-outdiffusion and Au-indiffusion on the performances of the Au/Ge/Pd/n-GaAs ohmic metallization systems are clarified by investigating three different types of barrier metal structures Au/Ge/Pd/GaAs, Au/Ti/Ge/Pd/GaAs, and Au/Mo/Ti/Ge/Pd/GaAs. The results indicate? that As-outdiffusion leads to higher specific contact resistivity, whereas Au-indiffusion contributes to the turnaround of the contact resistivity at even higher annealing temperature. For Au/Mo/Ti/Ge/Pd/n-GaAs samples, they exhibit the smoothest surface and the lowest specific contact resistivity with the wildest available annealing temperature,range, Moreover, Auger electron spectroscopy depth profiles show that the existing Ti oxide for the Mo/Ti bilayer can very effectively retard Au-indiffusion, reflecting the onset of the turnaround point at much higher annealing temperature.

Growth and fatigue properties of pulsed laser deposited Pb1-xLax(ZryTiz)O-3 thin films with [001] preferred orientation

Growth of [00/] preferentially oriented Pb1-xLax(ZryTiz) O-3 (PLZT) thin films was carried out by using targets of either tetragonal or rhombohedral structure. The tetragonal films grew in a similar manner to the rhombohedral films. Both the substrate temperature (500 or 550 degrees C) and oxygen pressure (0.1 mbar, 10 Pa) required stringent control in order to deposit [00/]-textured PLZT thin films. The ferroelectric and fatigue properties were examined. The films deposited on YBa2Cu3O7-x and CeO2 coated silicon (YBCO/CeO2/Si) substrates possessed substantially lower remanent polarization than those grown on YBCO coated SrTiO3 (YBCO/STO) substrates; this is ascribed to inferior crystallinity of the PLZT/BCO/CeO2/Si films. The remanent polarization of tetragonal PLZT films was degraded insignificantly up to 10(8) polarization switching cycles, whereas that of rhombohedral PLZT films was already reduced to 80% of the initial value after 10(8) cycles. Low endurance of rhombohedral films was ascribed to the periodic stress induced when the inclined spontaneous polarization vector (P=[111]) switched. On the other hand, high endurance of tetragonal films was explained by the fact that the spontaneous polarization vector (P=[001]) lies along the film's normal such that switch cycles cause no lateral stress.

The Cd1-x-yZnxMnyTe crystals, having potential in the development of magnetic field sensitive devices, were grown by the temperature gradient solution method at 940 degrees C. All crystals were p-type with resistivity of 10(7) Omega . cm. They have novel magneto-optical properties, and could be substitutes for the Cd1-xZnxTe ternary compounds in certain optoelectronic/integrated-optical device applications.

In this paper, a comprehensive study of gate engineering to suppress the penetration of boron in p-type metaloxide-semiconductor held-effect transistor (MOSFET) with the p(+)-poly-Si-gate is reported. Four types of poly-Si gate structure, two types of gate dielectrics were investigated to suppress the boron penetration. Among the different gate structures, the stacked amorphous silicon structure was found to be the most effective way to retard the boron penetration. N2O oxide exhibited a better retarding of the boron diffusion as compared with the O-2 oxide. It was found that a combination of stacked amorphous silicon with N2O oxide is the most effective way to suppress the boron penetration. Thermal stability, oxide integrity, and D-it of this sample are superior to all the other samples.
One- and two-electron transitions in slow C5+-He collisions: Total and angle-differential cross sections and coherence parameters

Transitions of one or two electrons in C5+-He collisions are studied within the semiclassical close-coupling description of atomic collisions, at impact energies of 1-35 keV/u. Angle-integrated cross sections are determined for single-transfer, double-transfer, and transfer-excitation channels. For single capture to 3p states and for two final states in the two-electron transfer channel, angle-differential cross sections are derived and a number of coherence parameters that depend on the quantum-mechanical phases are calculated. The results are compared with recent data on angle-differential two-electron transfer and with results from an earlier theoretical study.
An impact control scheme inspired by human reflex

In this article, we propose a control scheme to deal with unexpected impacts. Impact is inevitable when robot manipulators interact with the environment. Undesirable impacts may induce large interaction forces harmful to robot manipulators and the environment. Impacts may also excite oscillations, and even result in manipulator instability. When unexpected impacts occur, a very limited amount of time is available for control. Thus, a reflex mechanism, which emulates the functioning of human reflexes, is included in the proposed scheme. Human reflex is a kind of human action that requires no conscious effort; consequently, it responds to external stimuli without much delay. Simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme under a wide range of environmental variations and impact velocities. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

In this study, we propose a novel device structure combined with conventional hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) for the source and drain regions and microcrystalline silicon (mu c-Si:H) for the channel region to obtain a high-performance thin-film transistor (TFT), This is a vertical a-Si:H offset structure used to suppress OFF-state current to a small value which is comparable to the conventional a-Si:H TFT's with a much higher drivability. The fabrication process is simple, low temperature (less than or equal to 300 degrees C), and low cost, with a potential for high reliability.

The styrene-glycidyl methacrylate (SG) copolymer can be used to compatibilize the immiscible and incompatible blends between polystyrene (PS) and liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) copolyester. The epoxy functional groups present in the SG copolymer can react with the carboxylic and/or the hydroxyl terminal groups of the LCP at interface to form the SG-g-LCP copolymer during melt processing. This in situ-formed graft copolymer tends to reside along the interface to reduce the interfacial tension in the melt state and to increase the interphase adhesion in the solid state. However, the compatibilized PS/LCP blends reduce the number of LCP fibrils formed and have a tendency to form droplet LCP domains. The overall mechanical properties, stiffness and toughness of the blends improved after compatibilization, but the extent of the improvement is not very significant. It appears that the gain from the adhesion enhancement is more than offset by the loss due to the reduction in LCP fibril formation. The ethyl triphenylsphosponium bromide catalyst can further improve the compatibility of the blends by increasing the rate of the graft reaction. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
