    Notes: We investigate by photoacoustic spectroscopy the optical band-gap energy of mercuric iodide, α-HgI2, grown by sublimation in a sealed ampoule. Due to its importance as a detector material operating at ambient temperature, the physical properties of α-HgI2 have been recently studied. We found, by two different methods, the band-gap energies EG=2.32 and 2.39 eV, respectively. These results are in good agreement with recent measurements based on reflection and absorption spectra. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The optical bandgap energy of lead iodide PbI2, grown by Bridgman's method, is obtained by photoacoustic spectroscopy. Due to its potential applications, as a room temperature, semiconductor material detector, which may be used as a photocell, or as a x- and γ-ray radiation detector, the physical properties of PbI2 have attracted much attention. We computed, by different methods the bandgap energy. We found the energy in a range 2.301±0.038≤〈Eg〉≤2.359±0.037 eV. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A new data analysis technique has been developed for the evaluation of the density profiles from broadband reflectometry in the presence of plasma turbulence. The method is based on the spectrogram of the reflected signals and uses the complete information of the beat frequency spectrum. The application of the Floyd best path algorithm, that takes into account the history of the beat frequency curve, enables us to extract the slow component due to the plasma profile. The statistics of the group delay data points is also considered to validate (or reject) data with great confidence. The results obtained in a wide range of plasma regimes show that accurate and detailed profiles can be measured automatically. One and two dimensional moving averaging over consecutive sweeps is also available to reduce the variance of the inverted profile while retaining a good temporal resolution. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Microwave reflectometry is an important diagnostic to measure the plasma density profile on present fusion experiments and on next devices like ITER. Several data processing techniques, currently employed to evaluate the density profile, use filtering algorithms to overcome the effect of plasma fluctuations. However, in these processes the detailed profile structure may be altered or even lost. In order to study this problem we applied two different data analysis methods to experimental results obtained in ASDEX, when a locked magnetohydrodynamic mode is present. The first method uses a software implementation of a frequency discriminator to estimate continuously the evolution of the group delay versus frequency and the second applies a sliding fast Fourier transform method to determine an averaged group delay curve. It is shown that the profile exhibits a density plateau due to the magnetic island, which can be lost due to filtering or averaging procedures. Next we perform a numerical study for a profile with a small rotating density plateau, disturbed by random noise to simulate the effect of plasma fluctuations. The frequency discriminator is used to obtain group delay sweeps from consecutive sweeps and a two-dimensional (2-D) regularization technique is applied to the multiple samples. It is shown that the 2-D method has advantages in the routine evaluation of the detailed profile structure masked under the effect of plasma turbulence, due to the combined averaging (over space and time), based on the correlation between neighboring data points. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The contribution of the initial plasma to density profiles reconstructed from the dφ/df vs f curve obtained with reflectometry is studied. It is shown that the initial phase information determines to a great extent the accuracy of the inverted profiles at the edge. As it is difficult to measure the edge contribution models are required to initialize the profile evaluation. A novel method is presented that uses the phase information from the lowest frequency waves to obtain dφ/df below the first probing frequency F1, by imposing the continuity with the measured dφ/df characteristic and its derivative at F1. An approximate shape of the edge profile is obtained because low-frequency waves are sensitive to the initial plasma where they propagate without reflection. The accuracy of the inverted profiles is thereby improved, as shown by simulation studies performed for profiles with an exponential-like decay and with an edge density plateau (typical of H-mode regimes during ELMs). It is found that the contribution from the initial plasma decreases with density (or frequency); for densities of the order of 10× the first probed density ne1 it is reduced to values less than 10% in the case of a profile with a flat edge and 2% for a peaked one. For ne(approximately-greater-than)10ne1 the profiles can be absolutely calibrated from reflectometry data alone with an accuracy of ±2 mm independent of the initialization model. The numerical study also shows that profile deviations resulting from insufficient phase derivative data, e.g., due to discrete probing, can be more significant than those originated by the initialization process. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The broadband microwave reflectometry system on ASDEX Upgrade has been recently upgraded with new channels. It has now 12 channels that probe simultaneously the high and low fields plasma, with ultrafast sweeping (20–100 μs). X mode (33–75 GHz) is used for the scrape off layer, and the O mode (16–110 GHz) is reflected from densities between 0.3×1019 and 1.5×1019 m−3. A fast sweeping heterodyne system was developed for the highest frequency channels (50–110 GHz) to cope with higher losses and lower incident power. Fixed frequency operation is employed for fluctuation measurements. A dedicated channel (33–55 GHz) operating in fixed frequency provides a signal to continuously monitor the level of density fluctuations (e.g., L–H transition), during the whole discharge. The diagnostic is fully operated by remote control. The acquisition system is based on specially developed VME boards with up to 1 Gsamp/s sampling rates. Automatic profile inversion was recently implemented using data validation and rejection algorithms. Experimental results are presented to illustrate the profile measurements with O mode and with O and X mode combined operation. We present density profiles measured in a wide range of plasma regimes. Profile modifications due to rotating magnetic islands illustrates the potentialities of the reflectometry to estimate the location of the rational q surfaces. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A single channel microwave interferometer has been developed for a tokamak with an improved detection that uses an heterodyne configuration and is based on a differential quadrature phase concept. With the new detection very sensitive and accurate direct phase measurements are obtained due to the elimination of the spurious variations of the detected signals resulting from the nonideal behavior of the output mixers. As a result, the line integrated density along the vertical central chord of the vacuum chamber can be determined during the whole plasma discharge. Fast density variations occurring both at the formation phase of the plasma and during sawtooth cycles could also be measured. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We study by photoacoustic spectroscopy the band-gap shift effect of CdS films. The CdS films were grown by chemical bath deposition and exposed to different annealing atmospheres over a range of temperature in which the sample structure changes. We show the band-gap evolution and resistivity as a function of temperature of thermal annealing and determine the process that produces the best combination of high band-gap energy and low resistivity. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The electrical conductivities of n-doped silicon and, in particular Si:Bi, have been investigated for doping levels greater than the impurity critical concentration Nc for the metal-nonmetal transitions. A general feature of the conductivity for concentration normalized to Nc is presented in the order σ(Bi)(approximately-greater-than)σ(As)(approximately-greater-than)σ(P)(approximately-greater-than)σ(Sb). For Si:Bi, the value of Nc is calculated for different criteria. The mobility of electrons presents a lower value compared to Si:P. The results for Si:P and Si:As are compared to the experimental data available in the literature.

    Notes: We investigate the electrical properties of Bi-doped Si samples, prepared by ion implantation, in a range of concentrations around and above the metal–nonmetal transition. Comparison between experimental and theoretical values of the resistivity brought out that in these samples a similar behavior is observed as for other n-doped Si, thus confirming the results obtained in the same range of impurity concentration, i.e., ρ(Sb)≤ρ(P)≤ρ(As)≤ρ(Bi). © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
