Ganuna (7)-ray lenses are an advanced technology currently under development at Argonne National Laboratory for arms control application. The purpose of this proposal is to address whether y-ray lens technology can enable an improved system for imaging radioactive isotopes in patients. In nuclear medicine, it is often desirable to generate a y-ray image that shows the exact areas where an emitting ...

Solid Free Forming of monolith and uniform discrete reinforced materials has been demonstrated by fused deposition of heavily loaded slurries. In this program we will extend the fused deposition process to functional gradient material. The composition of material deposited will be controlled by the flow rates of two individual materials that are mixed in a low dead volume head. Thus, it will be po ...

CHROMEX proposes to develop a monitor system for plasma etch reactors that will, in the Phase I program, demonstrate much improved endpoint detection when compared to currently availabe systems. The Phase II research will extend the monitoring capabilities to all important plasma parameters. The system will provide the feedback information to the reactor controller necessary to produce a flexible ...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH TC SUPERCONDUCTING THIN FILMS WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON A LARGE NUMBER OF MODERN TECHNOLOGIES, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF ADVANCED MICROCIRCUITRY. ALTHOUGH SUPERCONDUCTING THIN FILMS HAVE BEEN PREPARED BY A VARIETY OF METHODS, ALL OF THESE METHODS REQUIRE HIGH TEMPERATURE PROCESSING STEPS WHICH ARE INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE PRODUCTION OF HIGH DENSITY MICROCIRCUITRY, AND NO ...

A PROJECT IS PROPOSED TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF COMBINING A PHASE-CHANGE NON-LINEAR OPTICAL MATERIAL WITH A PHOTOREFRACTIVE MATERIAL IN THIN LAYERS TO ACHIEVE A THREE DIMENSIONAL MASS STORAGE MEDIUM. ORGANIC COMPOUNDS POSSESSING GOOD POLARIZABILITY ALONG WITH COMPOSITION CONDUCIVE TO PHASE CHANGE MECHANICS WILL BE TESTED FOR SHG AND PHASE CHANGE ABILITY, THEN PREPARED IN THIN FILMS ON PHOT ...
