In this work, nitrogen doping was investigated during the low-temperature halo-carbon epitaxial growth of 4H-SiC on Si- and C-faces. The dependencies of nitrogen incorporation on nitrogen flow rate, Si/C ratio, growth rate, and temperature were investigated. It was established that the efficiency of nitrogen incorporation for the C-face growth at 1300 °C is higher than that for the Si-face for a wide range of the growth conditions. Seeming deviation of the Si/C ratio dependence from the “site-competition” trend confirmed the critical role of the silicon vapor condensation during the low-temperature epitaxy. Opposite trends for the nitrogen doping dependence on the growth rate were observed on the Si- and C-faces. Finally, a complex temperature dependence of the nitrogen doping in the temperature range from 1300 to 1450 0C was observed.

In this paper, a new structure of polyimide-based humidity sensor is developed, which can work better at low temperature environment. In this humidity sensor, the capacitive part is sputtered on a suspended membrane, the lower electrode is also a controllable heater, used to control the temperature on the surface of the sensor through the external circuits. The results of experiment suggest that the sensor has a wide range of sensing ambient relative humidity from 10%RH to 90%RH with a controllable constant temperature and at a lower temperature it shows a good linearity.

District heating networks deliver around 13% of the heating energy in the EU, being considered as a key element of the progressive decarbonization of Europe. The H2020 REnewable Low TEmperature District project (RELaTED) seeks to contribute to the energy decarbonization of these infrastructures through the development and demonstration of the following concepts: reduction in network temperature down to 50 °C, integration of renewable energies and waste heat sources with a novel substation concept, and improvement on building-integrated solar thermal systems. The coupling of renewable thermal sources with ultra-low temperature district heating (DH) allows for a bidirectional energy flow, using the DH as both thermal storage in periods of production surplus and a back-up heating source during consumption peaks. The ultra-low temperature enables the integration of a wide range of energy sources such as waste heat from industry. Furthermore, RELaTED also develops concepts concerning district heating-connected reversible heat pump systems that allow to reach adequate thermal levels for domestic hot water as well as the use of the network for district cooling with high performance. These developments will be demonstrated in four locations: Estonia, Serbia, Denmark, and Spain.

The harmonic reducer, with its advantages of high precision, low noise, light weight, and high speed ratio, has been widely used in aerospace solar wing deployment mechanisms, antenna pointing mechanisms, robot joints, and other precision transmission fields. Accurately predicting the performance of the harmonic reducer under various application conditions is of great significance to the high reliability and long life of the harmonic reducer. In this paper, a set of automatic harmonic reducer performance test systems is designed. By using the CANOpen bus interface to control the servo motor as the drive motor, through accurately controlling the motor speed and rotation angle, collecting the angle, torque, and current in real time, the life cycle test of space harmonic reducer was carried out in high vacuum and low temperature environment on the ground. Then, the collected data were automatically analyzed and calculated. The test data of the transmission accuracy, backlash, and transmission efficiency of the space harmonic reducer were obtained. It is proven by experiments that the performance data of the harmonic reducer in space work can be more accurately obtained by using the test system mentioned in this paper, which is convenient for further research on related lubricating materials.
