The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. Atomic Layer Deposition of Oxidizer Coatings on Aluminum Nanoparticles to Fabricate Superthermite Explosives

    SBC: ALD NANOSOLUTIONS, INC            Topic: N/A

    "Energetic thermite composites are composed of a metal fuel (e.g. Al) and an oxidizer (e.g. Fe2O3). Thermite composites have a much higher reaction enthalpy per cm3 than conventional explosives such as TNT. However, current thermite composites do notyield a higher reactive power because of the large diffusion distance between the metal fuel and oxidizer in thermite powders. To minimize the diff ...

  3. CONTROL OF SEMICONDUCTOR EPITAXY BY APPLICATION OF AN EXTERNAL FIELD

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    "The quality of semiconductor thin-film grown by vapor phase epitaxy is strongly dependent on the growth conditions. The diffusion of adatoms on the flat surface is largely responsible for the quality of the film. The diffusion rate is directly related tothe bond energy of adatoms. Recent experiments have demonstrated that application of an external field can lead to a change in the microstruct ...

  5. Ferroelectric liquid crystal integrated nanophotonics

    SBC: Displaytech Incorporated            Topic: N/A

    "Specially engineered self-assembling ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLCs) structures are capable of photonic bandgap functions, light emission, GHz electro-optic modulation, and second harmonic generation. Furthermore, we have demonstrated the ability tointegrate FLCs with silicon integrated circuits for both experimental applications (e.g. smart pixels, optical processing) and commercial applica ...

  6. Mitigation of Aero-Optic Distortions by Active Flow Control

    SBC: INTERDISCIPLINARY CONSULTING CORP            Topic: N/A

    "The goal of the proposed project is to develop and demonstrate an integrated flow control system to reduce aero-optic distortions via control of large-scale shear layer structures and manipulation of the turbulence spectrum in a compressible shear flow.Density fluctuations in a compressible shear layer can produce time-varying index of refraction across the shear layer. Optical systems that must ...

  7. Low Pressure Source for Mass-Selective, Diffusion Assisted Epitaxy

    SBC: SVT ASSOCIATES INC            Topic: N/A

    Dramatic differences in the diffusivities of the constituents of novel thin film materials and structures limit material perfection under far from equilibrium growth conditions. We will develop a new light-mass ion source, compatible with the low pressurerequirements of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), to provide selective enhancement of the motion of surface atoms. Helium or hydrogen ions incident ...

  8. Exploitation of Omnidirectional Reflectivity

    SBC: TECH-X CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    We propose to provide both frequency domain and time domain capabilities for the modeling of electromagnetic (EM) waves in dielectric media with the goal of accurate modeling of omnidirectional reflectors. Omnidirectional reflectors, constructed withlayers of dielectrics, reflect electromagnetic radiation is 100% efficiency for all incident angles and polarizations. The Phase I effort will carry ...

  9. Intervalence Band THz Laser in p/p+ Ge Heterostructure

    SBC: Zaubertek, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    In this STTR phase I project, a new THz laser mechanism based on p/p+ periodically doped Ge heterostructures will be studied. The intent is to eliminate the optical phonon scattering required in traditional bulk p-Ge lasers, which causes overheating andlimits their duty and gain. A CW laser with 1-4 THz tunability and picosecond pulse capability is anticipated. The new mechanism is based on se ...

  10. A New Electric Propulsion Concept Based on Pseudospark Discharges

    SBC: ERC, INC.            Topic: N/A

    It is proposed to develop a space propulsion concept based on the physics of pseudospark discharges. The device will be based on a multi-gap pseudospark device with a closed anode. The pseudospark is characterized by a transient phase, where high-intensityare created, and a "super-dense" glow discharge phase when the steady state is achieved. This phase produces very high plasma densities with min ...
