"Astralux, Inc. proposes to develop a novel and enabling p-type doping technology for the III-V nitrides with significant applications in the electronic and optoelectronic device arenas. Specifically, we will use molecular doping of magnesium (Mg) andoxygen (O) by ion implantation to improve upon the existing p-type doping technology, with the goal of significantly enhancing the dopant solubility ...

"We propose to develop an innovative 10 K cooling system that will be ideally suited to the cryogenic packaging requirements of a space-based superconducting electronics system. To achieve the most efficient and reliable hybrid cooler possible, we proposeto combine a multi-stage, linear-drive pulse tube with a low-temperature reverse-Brayton stage. In this way we will take advantage of the strengt ...

Atlas Scientific, in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin Cryogenic Engineering Group, is developing an innovative 10 K cooling system that is ideally suited to the cryogenic packaging requirements of a space-based superconducting electronics system. To achieve the most efficient and reliable hybrid cooler possible, we are combining a single-stage, linear-drive pulse tube with a low-temper ...

In Phase I, AVYD DEVICES in collaboration with SRI International, will demonstrate the feasibility of our modeling approach to predict material properties and device performances using experimental parameters of growth and fabrication processes formulticolor HgCdTe detectors. The models will include point defect-dopant interactions; Fermi dopant diffusion; interdiffusion (including Fermi level ef ...

Our Phase I proposal addresses the demonstration of the feasibility to develop a radiation hardened technology for dual band HgCdTe Focal Plane Arrays which would include the LWIR/VLWIR wave bands of 7-14 micrometers and 14-18 micrometers. In Phase II, we plan to implement the approach to demonstrate VLWIR dual color detectors and Read Out ICs culminating in the demonstration of focal plane array ...

The ideal prognostic system would be generic, requiring no domain-specific knowledge for its application. The prognostic system must also perform across all operating regimes without generating an excessive number of false alarms, and must successfullydiagnose problems. The semi-empirical technique proposed herein by Barron Associates, Inc. and its academic partners at Princeton University takes a ...

We propose a software package that combines recent advances in several pattern recognition techniques, including neural networks, multivariate statistics and model-based reasoning. Results from these prognostics will be combined into a single probabilityof failure for the modeled component or subsystem of the ABL, which would be output to a simple graphical user interface (GUI). The preliminary so ...
