ABSTRACTMaterials in use or under consideration for many applications in new and emerging technologies are often available only in small quantities and many times in the form of thin films, wafers and sheets. Such size and form limitations present a number of challenges to those wishing to evaluate thermal performance characteristics. This has resulted in a need to develop totally new transient or modify current transient and steady state techniques significantly. Various new or modified techniques to measure thermophysical properties are described. Illustrations of, applications to and results on semiconductors, superconductors, diamonds, polymers, composites and layered structures will be discussed.

Most knock controllers respond to knock events which are defined according to some threshold knock intensity. Multi-threshold knock events offer more informative feedback since they encode not just the occurrence of knock events but also some measure of their intensity. While this has the potential for improved control, it is hard to assess the extent to which any benefits are truly realized because (in common with all knock control systems) the results of any single experiment or simulation depends on the random arrival of knock events in that instance. In this article, methods are developed instead to compute the statistical properties of the closed-loop response of a general multi-threshold knock controller, thereby providing a much more complete and rigorous characterization of its performance than has previously been possible. The method is applied to single- and dual-threshold knock controllers and used to provide a rigorous comparison of the transient and steady-state performance of these different control laws. The method can also be used as a calibration aid to assess the effects of different controller gains in reliable, repeatable fashion.

ABSTRACTThin films (.1-.6 μm) of LiNbO3 have been deposited on silicon substrates by rf reactive sputtering. MFS (metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor) capacitor structures were created by a liftoff process which physically isolated small areas of LiNbO3. Standard MOS (metal-oxide-semiconductor) electrical characterization techniques were used to determine the resistivity and dielectric constant of the films. Short-circuit photocurrent measurements revealed both transient and steady state components attributed to a pyroelectric effect and a bulk photovoltaic effect respectively. The conduction processes in these films were examined and found to exhibit Frenkel-Poole characteristics. Ferroelectric switching at room temperature has also been observed in these films, however, the reversed orientation was not stable.

The growth and characterization of europium ( Eu 3+) and terbium ( Tb 3+) doped yttrium aluminum garnet ( Y 3 Al 5 O 12 or YAG) and undoped ZnGa 2O4 photoluminescent thin films deposited on sapphire substrates at 400°C by excimer pulsed laser ablation is reported. Smooth, continuous 500-nm-thick amorphous films were produced with compositions depleted in oxygen. Luminescence measurements on the as-deposited and on annealed samples revealed that heat treatments at temperatures > 800°C were necessary to induce crystallization and reoxygenate, which coincided with the onset of luminescence. Annealing produced randomly oriented grains on the order of 15-200 nm.
