The cylindrical resonator gyroscope (CRG) is a kind of solid-state gyroscope with a wide application market. The cylindrical resonator is the key component of CRG, whose quality factor and symmetry will directly affect the performance of the gyroscope. Due to the material properties and fabrication limitations, the actual resonator always has some defects. Therefore, frequency trimming, i.e., altering the local mass or stiffness distribution by certain methods, is needed to improve the overall symmetry of the resonator. In this paper, we made further derivation based on the chemical trimming theory proposed by Basarab et al. We built up the relation between the frequency split and the balanced mass to determine the mass to be removed. Chemical trimming experiments were conducted on three cylindrical fused silica resonators. The frequency splits of the three resonators were around 0.05 Hz after chemical trimming. The relation between frequency split and balanced mass established from experimental data was consistent with the theoretical calculation. Therefore, frequency split can be reduced to lower than 0.05 Hz under rigorous theoretical calculation and optimized chemical trimming parameters.

Fused silica cylindrical resonant gyroscope (CRG) is a novel high-precision solid-wave gyroscope, whose performance is primarily determined by the cylindrical resonator’s frequency split and quality factor (Q factor). The laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) is extensively used to measure the dynamic behavior of fused silica cylindrical resonators. An electrical method was proposed to characterize the dynamic behavior of the cylindrical resonator to enhance the measurement efficiency and decrease the equipment cost. With the data acquisition system and the designed signal analysis program based on LabVIEW software, the dynamic behavior of the fused silica cylindrical resonator can be analyzed automatically and quickly. We compared all the electrical measurement results with the optical detection by LDV, demonstrating that the fast Fourier transform (FFT) result of the resonant frequency measured by the electrical method was 0.12 Hz higher than that with the optical method. Thus, the frequency split measured by the electrical and optical methods was the same in 0.18 Hz, and the measurement of the Q factor was basically the same in 730,000. We conducted all measurements under the same operation condition, and the optical method was used as a reference, demonstrating that the electrical method could characterize the dynamic behavior of the fused silica cylindrical resonator and enhance the measurement efficiency.

The cylindrical resonator gyroscope (CRG) is a type of Coriolis vibratory gyroscope which measures the angular velocity or angle through the precession of the elastic wave of the cylindrical resonator. The cylindrical fused silica resonator is an essential component of the CRG, the symmetry of which determines the bias drift and vibration stability of the gyroscope. The manufacturing errors breaking the symmetry of the resonator are usually described by Fourier series, and most studies are only focusing on analyzing and reducing the fourth harmonic error, the main error source of bias drift. The second harmonic error also is one of the obstacles for CRG towards high precision. Therefore, this paper provides a chemical method to evaluate and balance the second harmonic error of cylindrical fused silica resonators. The relation between the frequency split of the n = 1 mode and the second harmonic error of the resonator is obtained. Simulations are performed to analyze the effects of the first three harmonic errors on the frequency splits. The relation between the location of the low-frequency axis of n = 1 mode and the heavy axis of the second harmonic error is also analyzed by simulation. Chemical balancing experiments on two fused silica resonators demonstrate the feasibility of this balancing procedure, and show good consistency with theoretical and simulation analysis. The second harmonic error of the two resonators is reduced by 86.6% and 79.8%, respectively.

The hydrodynamic and thermal state in the contact zone of the layers of a bimetallic product obtained by pouring liquid iron onto a solid steel billet, which changes in time and is responsible for the strength of the diffusion joint and the geometric parameters of the transition layer, has been investigated. Simplified analytical dependences, mathematical modeling data and experimental results of the liquid phase existence time in the contact zone based on research of the melt velocities during pouring and changes in the thermal field are presented. It is shown that simplified calculations data coincide in order and are close in values ​​to the calculations of mathematical modeling and experimental data, which makes it possible to use them for preliminary rough estimates by technologists and metallurgists.

In this paper, a Re(I) complex [Re(CO)3(E2)Cl], where E2 = 2-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline(E2), was synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR successfully. Experimental data confirm that Re(I) complex [Re(CO)3(E2)Cl] is high-energy-emitting one. The broad band emission upon excitation at λ = 400 nm with the emission maximum locates at λ = 581 nm in solid state and 614nm in CH2Cl2 solution were observed.

ABSTRACTThis paper demonstrates a unique action of hydrogen on defects and impurities in semiconductors. Hydrogen injected into n-type Si by chemical etching or hydrogen plasma not only pas-sivatcs phosphorus but also electrically activates carbon by forming a H-C complex acting as an electron trap E3 (0.15). A model of the structure and electronic state of the H-C complex is proposed on the basis of available experimental data on the properties of the complex. The diffusion coefficient of isolated hydrogen below 300K is evaluated from its diffusion process to phosphorus after the photoinduccd dissociation of the H-C complex. Some differences in hydrogen diffusion between chemically etched and plasma hydrogenated crystals arc discussed.
