Electric emitter

The elastic modulus was determined at room temperature on the longer bars of some shape as bending bars using the resonance method with a piezo-electric emitter-receiver in an ELASTOTRON 2000 machine. The elastic modulus at room temperature for HP-NbCl calculated to 477 G Pa [3] and for NbC-8Co to 440 GPa using ASTM E1875-2008. At 1,100°C, the elastic modulus of NbC-8Co decreased only to 373 GPa. 

The bipolar junction transistor (BIT) consists of tliree layers doped n-p-n or p-n-p tliat constitute tire emitter, base and collector, respectively. This stmcture can be considered as two back-to-back p-n junctions. Under nonnal operation, tire emitter-base junction is forward biased to inject minority carriers into tire base region. For example, tire n type emitter injects electrons into a p type base. The electrons in tire base, now minority carriers, diffuse tlirough tire base layer. The base-collector junction is reverse biased and its electric field sweeps tire carriers diffusing tlirough tlie base into tlie collector. The BIT operates by transport of minority carriers, but botli electrons and holes contribute to tlie overall current. 

Field desorption. The formation of ions in the gas phase from a material deposited on a solid surface (known as an emitter) that is placed in a high electrical field. Field desorption is an ambiguous term because it implies that the electric field desorbs a material as an ion from some kind of emitter on which the material is deposited. There is growing evidence that some of the ions formed are due to thermal ionization and some to field ionization of material... 

CAAA Impact on Nonutility Power Producers. The SO2 and NO regulations being implemented as part of the CAAA of 1990 primarily target electric utiHty power plants. However, under Phase II of the CAAA, nonutiHty power producers will be requited to acquire emissions allowances for any SO2 being emitted from new faciHties. Although industrial emitters of SO2 and NO are not directly affected, the EPA did undertake a study to estimate what contribution industrial producers have on annual estimated SO2 production in the United States (10). The report found that annual industrial SO2 emissions would remain below the predeterrnined critical limit of 5.6 x 10 tons/yr until at least 2015 (10). Thus, the agency recommended no new controls for industrial SO2 emissions at this time. 

To achieve the lowest possible delay a bipolar switching transistor developed by IBM minimizes parasitic resistances and capacitances. It consists of self-aligned emitter and base contacts, a thin intrinsic base with an optimized collector doping profile, and deep-trench isolation (36). Devices must be isolated from each other to prevent unwanted interactions in integrated circuits. While p—n junctions can be used for isolation, IBM s approach etches deep trenches in the siUcon wafer which are filled with Si02 to provide electrical insulation. 

The apphcation of a high electric field across a thin conjugated polymer film has shown the materials to be electroluminescent (216—218). Until recentiy the development of electroluminescent displays has been confined to the use of inorganic semiconductors and a limited number of small molecule dyes as the emitter materials. Expansion to the broad array of conjugated polymers available gives advantages in control of emission frequency (color) and facihty in device fabrication as a result of the ease of processibiUty of soluble polymers (see Chromogenic materials,electrochromic). 

Certain features in the PR spectra at 300 K from GaAs/Gai j,jAlj heterojunction bipolar transistor structures have been correlated with actual device performance thus PR can be used as an effective screening tool. From the observed FK oscillations it has been possible to evaluate the built-in dc electric fields in the Gai j jAlj emitter, as well as in the n—GaAs collector region. The behavior... 

The World Bank grants financing for fossil fuel electricity generation, yet finances only facilities that have advanced emission control equipment. And although the World Bank has never financed a nuclear power plant, a zero carbon emitter, it is vciy active in evaluating hydropower projects, helping to establish the World Commission on Large Dams. 

Electron Capture Detector In the electron capture detector (ECD), a beta emitter such as tritium or 63Ni is used to ionize the carrier gas. Electrons from the ionization migrate to the anode and produce a steady current. If the GC effluent contains a compound that can capture electrons, the current is reduced because the resulting negative ions move more slowly than electrons. Thus, the signal measured is the loss of electrical current. The ECD is very sensitive to materials that readily capture electrons. These materials frequently have unsaturation and electronegative substituents. Because the ECD is sensitive to water, the carrier gas must be dry. 

As mentioned earlier, separation of C02 at concentrated sources is easier than from the environment, and carbon capture at upstream decarbonizes many subsequent economic sectors. However, it does require significant changes in the existing infrastructure of power and chemical plants. Furthermore, approximately half of all emissions arise from small, distributed sources. Many of these emitters are vehicles for which onboard capture is not practical. Thus, unless all the existing automobiles are replaced by either hydrogen-powered fuel cell cars or electric cars, the capture of C02 from the air provides another alternative for small mobile emitters.
