ABSTRACTThermal behavior of midgap defects generated in GaAs by different procedures has been followed by means of optical absorption measurements at low temperature. EL2 centers existing in as-grown crystals or generated by thermal annealing at temperatures lower than about 1000°C, which are characterized by a perfectly quenchable absorption at a wavelength of 1.0 μm, are found to diminish at temperature higher than 1000°C. The generation kinetics of EL2 centers has been traced during isothermal annealing of a crystal in which grown-in EL2 centers have previously been eliminated by annealing at 1200°C. The result of an analysis with the use of simplified chemical rate equations favors the model that an EL2 center is composed of an As antisite and two Ga vacancies. Both quenchable and unquenchable absorptions are associated with the midgap defects induced by plastic deformation or electron -irradiation. Isochronal annealing reveals that such defects are not identical with EL2 centers that are found in an as-grown crystal even if they accompany the quenchable absorption.

In the present work, the kinetics of low-temperature annealing (400 °C) of 4H-SiC JBS diodes irradiated by electrons with an energy of 0.9 MeV and with a dose of 1E16 cm-2 was studied. The dynamics of changes in I-V, C-V characteristics, as well as DLTS spectra are shown. In the course of the work, a thermal cycling effect was discovered, i.e., effect of multiple rapid cooling to the temperature of liquid nitrogen and heating of the samples. As a result of thermal cycling, the barrier capacity increases and the on-resistance (Rs) decreases. In the DLTS spectrum, a level of - 0.38 eV appears, absent in the as-irradiated diodes.

AbstractWe recently developed an atomistic model of metastability of a-Si:H, where defect creation is driven by the breaking of weak silicon bonds. The kinetics of degradation in this model is simulated with coupled rate equations that show t1/3 kinetics of defect creation and saturation behavior similar to experiment. Saturated defect densities of neutral dangling bonds are accompanied by a much smaller density of negatively charged floating bonds and positively charged dangling bonds (D+). We propose a two-step annealing mechanism where the positively charged D+ dangling bonds are annealed at low temperature and the D0 at higher temperature -which accounts for hysteresis in mobility lifetime products.

The unused reserves of metal and manufacturing techniques of forgings and hardening of products promoting minimization and stabilization of deformation and a buckling of gear details are revealed. Need of rationing of size of a hardenability of steel, a regulation of speed of cooling of forgings after hot stamping and application of isothermal annealing as preliminary heat treatment is established. The rational scheme of laying and technology of low-temperature cementation of pinion gears providing the minimum change of the geometrical sizes of details in chemical and thermal processes is offered.

Measurements of the attenuation of sound at a frequency of 5 megacycles have been made over the temperature range 100° to 200 ° K. on polycrystalline high purity aluminum subjected to various thermal and mechanical treatments. With samples annealed at 520 °C. a maximum in the attenuation versus temperature relation had been observed at 155 ° K. This maximum was greatly increased by small amounts of plastic deformation of the order of 1.0 to 1.5%.Aluminum initially annealed for extended periods at temperatures much closer to the melting point shows, however, either no increase in the attenuation maximum at 155 ° K. or, in extreme cases, no maximum in this region at all, after plastic deformation of the same order as before. It is believed that this indicates a dependence of the deformation-induced maximum on the distribution and possibly on the number of dislocations in the metal prior to deformation and on the arrangement of the dislocations after deformation.

In this study a plate form of Ti-50.7at.%Ni was subjected to solution annealing at 800°C and 900°C for one hour followed by ageing at 300°C and 400°C for 4 hours respectively in order to investigate the effect of solution annealing and low temperature ageing on the microstructures and superelastic behaviour. It was found that the formation of Ti3Ni4 precipitates on the samples aged at 300°C and 400°C influences superelasticity differently. Increasing the testing temperature up to 38°C generally increases the superelasticity of samples for all heat treatment conditions compared to those tested at 22°C, however the sample solution annealed at 900°C give better superelasticity at 22°C due to excessive plastic deformation at higher temperature.
