Matched Thermistors for Microwave Power Meters-Patent

Matched thermistors for microwave power meters with compensation for temperature change

Temperature compensation of digital inertial sensors

Heaters for thermal stabilization are unnecessary when analog dc voltage provided by gyroscope temperature sensor is used to change outputs to compensate for temperature variations. Sensor is normally installed on all precision gryoscopes

Temperature dependence of the spin and orbital magnetization density in Sm1−xGdxAl2Sm_{1-x}Gd_{x} Al_{2} around the spin-orbital compensation point

Non-resonant ferromagnetic x-ray diffraction has been used to separate the spin and orbital contribution to the magnetization density of the proposed zero-moment ferromagnet $Sm_{0.982}Gd_{0.018} Al_{2}$. The alignment of the spin and orbital moments relative to the net magnetization shows a sign reversal at 84K, the compensation temperature. Below this temperature the orbital moment is larger than the spin moment, and vice versa above it. This result implies that the compensation mechanism is driven by the different temperature dependencies of the $4f$ spin and orbital moments. Specific heat data indicate that the system remains ferromagnetically ordered throughout

Hole Transport in p-Type ZnO

A two-band model involving the A- and B-valence bands was adopted to analyze the temperature dependent Hall effect measured on N-doped \textit{p}-type ZnO. The hole transport characteristics (mobilities, and effective Hall factor) are calculated using the ``relaxation time approximation'' as a function of temperature. It is shown that the lattice scattering by the acoustic deformation potential is dominant. In the calculation of the scattering rate for ionized impurity mechanism, the activation energy of 100 or 170 meV is used at different compensation ratios between donor and acceptor concentrations. The theoretical Hall mobility at acceptor concentration of $7 \times 10^{18}$ cm$^3$ is about 70 cm$^2$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$ with the activation energy of 100 meV and the compensation ratio of 0.8 at 300 K. We also found that the compensation ratios conspicuously affected the Hall mobilities.Comment: 5page, 5 figures, accepted for publication in Jpn. J. Appl. Phy
