Creation

As described earlier, the covalently bonded hydrogen, by passivating dangling bond defects and removing strained weak Si—Si bonds from the network, dramatically improves the semiconducting quality of amorphous silicon. Hence without the presence of hydrogen, effective amorphous semiconductor devices such as solar cells or thin film transistors would not be possible. Unfortunately, low defect density, high electronic quality 

In 1977 it was observed that extended illumination with visible light of a-Si H produced a decrease in photoconductivity and dark conductivity (the Staebler-Wronski effect), which is reversible upon annealing, as shown in Fig. 7 (Staebler and Wronski, 1977,1980). The effect can be quite dramatic, producing a decrease in dark conductivity of over four orders of magnitude, though the extent of the decrease depends on the initial defect density and doping level of the sample. The degraded conductivity state is 

While most of the research in metastable defect formation has focussed on light-induced defects, there has recently been growing interest in thermally generated defects. Smith and Wagner (1985 Smith et al., 1986) extended the proposed Staebler-Wronski mechanism of electron-hole recombination via band tail states, resulting in the formation of dangling 

Recent studies of doped a-Si H have found that the background density of localized states, that is, the electrically active dopants and dangling bond defects, are metastable (Ast and Brodsky, 1979 Street et al., 1986, 1987a Muller et al., 1986). After annealing above 150°C in the dark, the dark conductivity at room temperature of n- and p-type doped a-Si H decreases by nearly a factor of two over a time scale of several weeks for n-type and several hours for p-type a-Si H. As shown in Fig. 9 (Street et al., 1987a), the relaxation rate of the occupied band tail density nBT is a sensitive function of temperature, so that the time to reach 

The time for the density of localized states to reach equilibrium is thermally activated, becoming longer at lower temperatures, as illustrated in Fig. 10 (Street et al, 1987a). The equilibration times have an activation

This is the order in which we should look to solve the problem of SO,c emissions. We should try to prevent creation of the waste, since treating the waste tends only to move the problem rather than solve it. 

The approach to heat exchanger network design discussed so far is based on the creation of an irreducible structure. No redundant features were included. Of course, when the network is optimized, some of the features might be removed by the optimization. The scope for the optimization to remove features results from the assumptions made during the creation of the initial structure. However, no attempt was made to deliberately include redundant features. 

The AUGUR information on defect configuration is used to develop the three-dimensional solid model of damaged pipeline weldment by the use of geometry editor. The editor options provide by easy way creation and changing of the solid model. This model is used for fracture analysis by finite element method with appropriate cross-section stress distribution and external loads.

Induction laws and experiments show that the impedance of a coil crossed by an AC current put near a conductive piece is modified by the creation of eddy currents. The presence of an anomaly in this material structure modifies the impedance of the generating coil. The impedance variation measure is at the root of non destructive testing by eddy currents. Any variation inside a piece (variation of conductivity or permeability) modifies the intensity and the course of the eddy currents and consequently the coil impedance.

This report presents the results of investigations aimed at the creation of the surface wave transducer for the automated control. The basic attention is drawn to the analysis of the position of the front meniscus of the contact liquid when the surface waves excite through the slot gap and to the development of system for acoustic contact creation. 

The use of the surface ultrasonic waves seems to be convenient for these purposes. However, this method has not found wide practical application. Peculiarities of excitation, propagation and registration of surface waves created before these time great difficulties for their application in automatic systems of duality testing. It is connected with the fact that the surface waves are weakened by soil on the surface itself In addition, the methods of testing by the surface waves do not yield to automation due to the difficulties of creation of the acoustic contact. In particular, a flow of contact liquid out of the zone of an acoustic line, presence of immersion liquid, availability of chink interval leads to the adsorption and reflection of waves on tlie front meniscus of a contact layer. The liquid for the acoustic contact must be located only in the places of contact, otherwise the influence on the amplitude will be uncontrolled. This phenomenon distorts the results of testing procedure. 

This standard proposal is limited to a format model. So, as it had been pointed out earlier, the implementation of this format requires some complementary work, which can partly be standardized. The definition of the Application Programming Interfaces (A.P.l.) could become a standard in the future. Nonetheless, this would require the creation of a new ad hoc group, with different technical competences. 

The use of these techniques is an important element of industrial policy since they contribute to the creation of a business friendly regulatory environment allowing the combination of measures taken for internal organisational reasons and obligations of certification without lowering the level of safety to be achieved. Wlienever possible a choice between product control and quality assurance procedures is offered to manufacturers. 

The second approach - creation of systems for non-destructive testing quality assurance in compliance with ISO standards 9000 series - considers the quality system as an assembly of organisational strueture, procedures, processes and resources necessary for overall quality management at the laboratory. This approach requires methodieal development.

The Institute has many-year experience of investigations and developments in the field of NDT. These are, mainly, developments which allowed creation of a series of eddy current flaw detectors for various applications. The Institute has traditionally studied the physico-mechanical properties of materials, their stressed-strained state, fracture mechanics and developed on this basis the procedures and instruments which measure the properties and predict the behaviour of materials. Quite important are also developments of technologies and equipment for control of thickness and adhesion of thin protective coatings on various bases, corrosion control of underground pipelines by indirect method, acoustic emission control of hydrogen and corrosion cracking in structural materials, etc. 

Since the drop volume method involves creation of surface, it is frequently used as a dynamic technique to study adsorption processes occurring over intervals of seconds to minutes. A commercial instrument delivers computer-controlled drops over intervals from 0.5 sec to several hours [38, 39]. Accurate determination of the surface tension is limited to drop times of a second or greater due to hydrodynamic instabilities on the liquid bridge between the detaching and residing drops [40],... 

Among the many applications of LB films, the creation or arrangement of colloidal particles in these films is a unique one. On one hand, colloidal particles such as 10-nm silver sols stabilized by oleic acid can be spread at the air-water interface and LB deposited to create unique optical and electrooptical properties for devices [185].

Two subsystems a. and p, in each of which the potentials T,p, and all the p-s are unifonn, are pennitted to interact and come to equilibrium. At equilibrium all infinitesimal processes are reversible, so for the overall system (a + P), which may be regarded as isolated, the quantities conserved include not only energy, volume and numbers of moles, but also entropy, i.e. there is no entropy creation in a system at equilibrium.

So it is essential to relate the LEED pattern to the surface structure itself As mentioned earlier, the diffraction pattern does not indicate relative atomic positions within the structural unit cell, but only the size and shape of that unit cell. However, since experiments are mostly perfonned on surfaces of materials with a known crystallographic bulk structure, it is often a good starting point to assume an ideally tenuinated bulk lattice the actual surface structure will often be related to that ideal structure in a simple maimer, e.g. tluough the creation of a superlattice that is directly related to the bulk lattice.
