As widi arsenic, semiconductor grade Sb is prepared by chemical reduction of highly purified compounds AlSb, GaSb and InSb have applications in infrared devices, diodes and Hall-effect devices. ZnSb has gootl themioelectric properties. Applications of various conipounjs of Sb will be mentioned when die compounds tbemselves are discussed. 

Uses. Large quantities of Sb metal have been used mainly in alloys with Pb (battery grids) and other metals. Alloys are the predominant use of antimony because its brittleness bars direct use. High purity antimony (>99.999%) has a limited but important application in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. When alloyed with elements of 13th group (IIIA), the III-V compounds are formed these have important applications as infrared devices, diodes and Hall effect devices. Also used for fireworks and thermoelectric piles. 

Cesium is used in military infrared devices and signal lamps as well as in other optical devices. 

Although it is a brittle metal, it has found a use in the semiconductor industry in the production of diodes and infrared devices. It is also used to flameproof material and vulcanize rubber and can also be a component in paints, ceramic enamels, glass, pottery, and fireworks.

Since the demonstration of the first THz QCL in 2002 [8], it has been much more difficult to achieve room temperature operation than for mid infrared devices. The main reason for this is that dephasing and scattering phenomena can lead to level broadenings of the same order of magnitude of the lasing transitions, making population inversion by carrier injection in upper lasing subbands extremely difficult.

Antimony has many uses—for example, in semiconductor infrared devices and as part of an alloy in lead storage batteries. The element has two naturally occurring isotopes, one with mass 120.904 amu, the other with mass 122.904 amu. (a) Write the 2X notation for each isotope, (b) Use the atomic mass of antimony from the periodic table to calculate the natural abundance of each isotope. 

Catalyst activity was usually measured in a bench test assembly (Figure 1). The reactor included a preheat section containing tabular alumina just above (upstream from) the 30 cm3 of catalyst in the center of the reactor. Water was pumped by a minipump (Milton-Roy) to the steam generator. From a three-temperature profile around the catalyst bed, it was determined that the midpoint data were most useful and reliable. The analytical equipment consisted of an infrared device (Mine Safety Appliances) for carbon monoxide, a flame ionization detector (Beckman) for hydrocarbons, and a paramagnetic oxygen analyzer (Beckman). The entire assembly except for Telex printer and computer is pictured in Figure 2.

The adjective astronomical acquires new meaning as more powerful telescopes reveal millions of new stars and galaxies at ever larger distances. When optical probes fail to penetrate any further into the cosmic dust near-infrared devices (Cowen, f999) show up a hundred times more stars beyond the optical horizon. 

The typical shape of hysteresis loop P Eq) for the films with thickness smaller and larger than critical one is reported in Fig. 3.12a, b respectively. The characteristic feature of the loop is its shift to the larger fields with Pm/Ps increase. Such behavior corresponds to experimentally observed shift of hysteresis loop in self-polarized films [52] (see Fig. 3.13). The authors of Ref. [52] came to conclusion, that the shift of hysteresis loop shown in Fig. 3.13 is the manifestation of the film selfpolarization that arises without external field application. Self-polarization effect of ferroelectric films is very important for applications, for instance in the infrared devices, see e.g. Ref. [53].

Wireless telecommunications not only includes the popular code-division multiple access (CDMA) and Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) cellular telephone technologies but a vast array of other wireless phone systems as well. These include the two-way phone systems used by businesses, such as a power company by emergency services, such as a fire department by the military, such as battlefield communications systems by public service systems, such as the marine VHF radio and by individual users, such as ham radio operators. There are many other wireless devices in use as well, including infrared devices such as television controllers, cordless mice, garage-door openers, model-car controllers, and several satellite-type devices, such as the Global Positioning Systems installed in cars.

When installing open path infrared devices it is important to ensure that there is no permanent obstruction or blocking of the infrared beam. Short-term blockage from vehicles, site personnel, birds, etc. can be accommodated [28]. 

Measurement of the moisture content of sinter feed with feedback to direct water additions at various mixing points is thus an essential part of good sinter machine control. Various devices are used for online moisture measurement, including infrared devices and electrical conductivity probes. The latter are most common and can simply be two trailing electrodes in contact with the feed material on a conveyor belt. These devices are not highly reliable and need careful and regular calibration since they are affected by the presence of soluble salts, which can change the electrical conductivity of the free interstitial water in the sinter bed.
