Novel technological possibilities for growth of GaAs autoepitaxial films, and properties of Gunn diodes made on their basis
The n⁺-n-n⁺-n⁺⁺-GaAs epitaxial structures were MBE-grown on porous nanostructured and traditional (standard) heavily doped n⁺⁺-GaAs substrates. On their basis, we fabricated the Gunn diodes generating power output in the 44−59 GHz (first harmonic) and 101−104 GHz (second harmonic) frequency ranges. For both harmonics, the power output of the Gunn diodes grown on porous substrates was shown to be from 20 to 30 % higher than those grown on the flat ones
Porous nanostructured InP: technology, properties, application
We prepared porous InP (100) substrates with a nanostructured surface relief on which InP epitaxial films were grown. The structure, morphological, and photoluminescence properties of nanostructured substrates and InP epilayers grown on them were studied. These InP epilayers grown on the porous and standard InP substrates were used to make microwave diodes. We showed the advantages of the diodes made on the porous substrates (over those made on the standard ones) caused by higher structural perfection of the InP epilayers grown on the porous substrates
Adlayers of palladium particles and their aggregates on porous polypropylene hollow fiber membranes as hydrogenization contractors/reactors
Principal approaches for the preparation of catalytic membrane reactors based on polymer membranes containing palladium nanoparticles and for the description of their characteristics are presented. The method for the development of adlayers composed of palladium nanoparticles and their aggregates on the surface of hydrophobic polypropylene porous hollow fiber membranes is proposed, and their comprehensive study is performed. Various regimes of the deposition of palladium on individual fibers and on membrane surface inside membrane modulus are considered. The sizes of primary Pd particles range from 10 to 500 nm, and dimensions of their aggregates vary from 200 nm to tens of microns. The sizes of primary particles in a free state and in their aggregates are estimated by the methods of X-ray analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The proposed approach is used for the preparation of catalytic membrane contactors/reactors for the removal of dissolved oxygen from water. In the systems under study, the limiting stage of dissolved oxygen removal is concerned with diffusion-controlled delivery of oxygen to the surface of catalytic particles. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
