Low-cost, low-defect, 2" GaN epi-ready substrates processed with E-Grinding
SBC: SIXPOINT MATERIALS, INC. Topic: 11aGallium nitride substrates are the key material for achieving high-end, energy-efficient semiconductor devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes, power transistors and RF transistors. Significant effort has been exerted to develop cost-effective near-equilibrium ammonothermal (NEAT) growth of bulk GaN crystals; however, due to extreme hardness and chemical stability, a low-cost wa ...

Ultracold Electron Bunch Generation via Plasma Photocathode Emission and Acceleration in a Beam-Driven Dielectric Waveguide
SBC: RADIABEAM SYSTEMS, LLC Topic: 23bUltrafast electron microscopy using relativistic electron beams requires very short beams of exquisite quality for maximum contrast at submicron scales with fast time resolution. State-of the-art microscopy systems are based on radiofrequency photocathode technology where the accelerating gradient, and thus the beam quality, is limited by breakdown of the copper walls. RadiaBeam Technologies plans ...

Long-range Millimeter Wave Passive Tags
SBC: DIRAC SOLUTIONS, INC. Topic: 01aThis SBIR develops novel long-range passive Electromagnetic (EM) tags based on high-frequency microwaves, down to the millimeter wave regime. EM waves can go through fabrics, plastics, wood, and other occlusions for addressing covert target tracking. These higher frequency bands have many of the best features of the radio and the optical wavelengths, such as the ability to create focused beams to ...

Radiation spectrometer for RF breakdown detection in THz linear accelerators
SBC: RADIABEAM SYSTEMS, LLC Topic: 27aThe future of high energy particle physics and X-ray light sources for biological and material research require miniaturized linear accelerators that at present cannot be qualified using existing methods. Such miniaturized linear accelerates, operated in THz and mm-wave bands, will be instrumental in managing the cost of future accelerator facilities. One technological issue at these wavelengths i ...

Utilization of waste CO2 to make renewable chemicals and fuels
SBC: TWELVE BENEFIT CORPORATION Topic: 09aUtilization of waste carbon dioxide from industrial sources could (1) provide an additional income stream for CO2 emitting industries and (2) provide a distributed and domestic source of carbon-based compounds for use as chemicals and fuels. An efficient, cost-effective, and modular reactor for electrochemical reduction of CO2 (ECO2R) to carbon-neutral or –negative compounds is needed to make th ...

Novel Low-Cost Medical Accelerator Designs for Use in Challenging Environments
SBC: TIBARAY, INC. Topic: 02aThe need for Radiation Therapy (RT) for cancer treatment is dramatically underserved in less developed parts both because of the high cost of RT systems and that such systems need reliable utilities. The company plans to use novel technology recently developed to manufacture and market the next generation of RT systems offering both greatly enhanced capabilities and more cost-effective patient tre ...

Novel Ultra-High Power Microwave Isolators
SBC: TIBARAY, INC. Topic: 24eMicrowave isolators are highly desired for high-power RF (radio-frequency) systems that drive linear accelerators. Reflected power from the accelerator can destabilize the RF system and reduce the life of the RF source requiring expensive replacement. The available isolators are costly and have limited reliability and power-handling capabilities. High power isolators are also of interest to DOE la ...

Rapid Assessment of Distribution Line Damage via Autonomous UAV
SBC: BRAINS4DRONES LLC Topic: 05bTwo-thirds of all electric outage minutes are weather-related, mostly the result of damage to above ground distribution lines. These outages cost the U.S. economy between $18 and $33 billion per year. We propose to rapidly assess line damage immediately following an extreme weather event using specially equipped unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Efforts to restore power start with the utility’s s ...

Demonstration of Combinatorial Additive Manufacturing Approach for the Design of Alloys
SBC: RADIABEAM SYSTEMS, LLC Topic: 08bCombinatorial material science takes advantage of technologies that make it possible to prepare a large number of material compositions in a single process, along with efficient assaying and sorting methods, to create and identify new desirable material compositions. Past and current efforts using combinatorial material science to create new alloy compositions have only explored a very limited des ...

Development of a Low Noise Optical Interrogator for Interferometric Sensing Technologies
SBC: PAULSSON, INC. Topic: 17bElectronic geophones currently used in the oil and gas industry cannot meet the ever-more demanding requirements for robust, high-temperature capabilities and abilities to record the broad-band seismic data needed for high-resolution imaging. Electronic geophones are not capable of recording the low-magnitude and high-frequency signals that are being produced by hydraulic fracturing, water and CO2 ...
