Position Sensitive

The position sensitive atom probe (POSAP), described briefly elsewhere in these proceedings, permits both chemical and spatial information in three dimensions to be recorded from a small volume of material. This technique is particularly applicable to situations where there are fine scale variations in composition present in the material under investigation. We report the application of the POSAP to the characterisation of semiconductor multiple quantum wells and metallic multilayers.The application of devices prepared from quantum well materials depends on the ability to accurately control both the quantum well composition and the quality of the interfaces between the well and barrier layers. A series of metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) grown GaInAs-InP quantum wells were examined after being prepared under three different growth conditions. These samples were observed using the POSAP in order to study both the composition of the wells and the interface morphology. The first set of wells examined were prepared in a conventional reactor to which a quartz wool baffle had been added to promote gas intermixing. The effect of this was to hold a volume of gas within the chamber between growth stages, leading to a structure where the wells had a composition of GalnAsP lattice matched to the InP barriers, and where the interfaces were very indistinct. A POSAP image showing a well in this sample is shown in figure 1. The second set of wells were grown in the same reactor but with the quartz wool baffle removed. This set of wells were much better defined, as can be seen in figure 2, and the wells were much closer to the intended composition, but still with measurable levels of phosphorus. The final set of wells examined were prepared in a reactor where the design had the effect of minimizing the recirculating volume of gas. In this case there was again further improvement in the well quality. It also appears that the left hand side of the well in figure 2 is more abrupt than the right hand side, indicating that the switchover at this interface from barrier to well growth is more abrupt than the switchover at the other interface.

This article presents the rationale and methodology for developing an intrinsically safe device, namely, a hydrostatic fiber optic sensor with a position-sensitive detector for monitoring the level of oil products in large-capacity tanks at oil depots and during pumping in a raw material warehouses. This device suitable for continuous monitoring of the liquid level, based on the measurement of a hydrostatic column of liquid with automatic offset of changes in the density of the liquid. Offset is carried out by means of a displacer (a fully submerged float), inside which a housing with a position-sensitive detector (PSD) is integrated. Theoretical validation of the bellows suspension usage for a displacer is given. During filling a container with a liquid whose level is measured, liquid bellows, the movement of which is recorded by an optical triangulation sensor using the reflected infrared ray incident on the bottom of the bellows. The principle of the triangulation sensor operation is based on the geometric properties of the triangles. The pulses of infrared radiation come through a fiber optic cable. In order to measure the movement of the surface (the bottom of the bellows) by measuring the movement of the reflected beam, a position-sensitive detector is used, which is located in a remote controller. In this device for the intrinsic safety problem solution, optical inputs of a fiber optic flat cable are located in the active zone of the sensor, which is connected to the optical inputs of a position-sensitive detector, operated on the principles of photoelectric effect. The light spot moving along the sensitive zone and converted by the detector into a one-dimensional signal proportional to the distance to the object. hydrostatically applies pressure over the entire effective area of the measuring

The results of studying the phase composition of advanced calcium phosphates Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, β-Ca3(PO4)2, α-Ca3(PO4)2, CaHPO4 · 2H2O, Ca8(HPO4)2(PO4)4 · 5H2O using an x-ray diffractometer with a curved position-sensitive detector are presented. Optimal experimental conditions (angular positions of the x-ray tube and detector, size of the slits, exposure time) were determined with allowance for possible formation of the impurity phases during synthesis. The construction features of diffractometers with a position-sensitive detector affecting the profile characteristics of x-ray diffraction peaks are considered. The composition for calibration of the diffractometer (a mixture of sodium acetate and yttrium oxide) was determined. Theoretical x-ray diffraction patterns for corresponding calcium phosphates are constructed on the basis of the literature data. These x-ray diffraction patterns were used to determine the phase composition of the advanced calcium phosphates. The features of advanced calcium phosphates, which should be taken into account during the phase analysis, are indicated. The powder of high-temperature form of tricalcium phosphate strongly adsorbs water from the environment. A strong texture is observed on the x-ray diffraction spectra of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate. A rather specific x-ray diffraction pattern of octacalcium phosphate pentahydrate revealed the only one strong peak at small angles. In all cases, significant deviations are observed for the recorded angular positions and relative intensity of the diffraction peaks. The results of the study of experimentally obtained mixtures of calcium phosphate are presented. It is shown that the graphic comparison of experimental x-ray diffraction spectra and pre-recorded spectra of the reference calcium phosphates and possible impurity phases is the most effective method. In this case, there is no need for calibration. When using this method, the total time for analysis of one sample is no more than 10 min.
