Low-Temperature Materials and Thin Film Transistors for Flexible Electronics

This paper addresses the low-temperature deposition processes and electronic properties of silicon based thin film semiconductors and dielectrics to enable the fabrication of mechanically flexible electronic devices on plastic substrates. Device quality amorphous hydrogenated silicon (a-Si:H), nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si), and amorphous silicon nitride (a-SiN/sub x/) films and thin film transistors (TFTs) were made using existing industrial plasma deposition equipment at the process temperatures as low as 75/spl deg/C and 120/spl deg/C. The a-Si:H TFTs fabricated at 120/spl deg/C demonstrate performance similar to their high-temperature counterparts, including the field effect mobility (/spl mu//sub FE/) of 0.8 cm/sup 2/V/sup -1/s/sup -1/, the threshold voltage (V/sub T/) of 4.5 V, and the subthreshold slope of 0.5 V/dec, and can be used in active matrix (AM) displays including organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays. The a-Si:H TFTs fabricated at 75/spl deg/C exhibit /spl mu//sub FE/ of 0.6 cm/sup 2/V/sup -1/s/sup -1/, and V/sub T/ of 4 V. It is shown that further improvement in TFT performance can be achieved by using n/sup +/ nc-Si contact layers and plasma treatments of the interface between the gate dielectric and the channel layer. The results demonstrate that with appropriate process optimization, the large area thin film Si technology suits well the fabrication of electronic devices on low-cost plastic substrates.     

Numerical simulation of the translational nonequilibrium zone behind a shock-wave front

The translational nonequilibrium zone in a shock wave is considered for a gas consisting of light particles and a small addition of heavy particles. The gas is taken to be two-dimensional, and long-range forces are assumed to be absent. In the framework of this approximation, a program for molecular dynamics simulation of the gas is developed. It is applied to calculate a particle distribution function in the shock wave, to analyze the time evolution of the distribution function, and to study its dependence on the gas composition.     

N-aryl-and N-vinyldiaza-18-crown-6: Synthesis and complexing ability

The nucleophilic aromatic and vinyl substitution using diaza-18-crown-6 as nucleophile afforded a number of its N,N’-diaryl-[aryl = 2,4-(NO₂)₂C₆H₃, 4-C₅F₄N, 4-CF₃C₆F₄] and N,N’-dialkenyl-substituted derivatives [alkenyl = PhC(O)CH=CH, MeOCOCH=CH, (EtO₂C)₂C=C(Ph), etc.]. Arylation of diaza-18-crown-6 with nonactivated aryl bromides, such as 4-Me₂NC₆H₄Br, 4-MeOC₆H₄Br, C₆H₅Br, and 4-CF₃C₆H₄Br, was effected under catalysis by palladium complexes. N,N’-Diaryldiaza-18-crowns-6 having electron-acceptor substituents in the aromatic rings turned out to be incapable of forming complexes with metal cations, while their analogs containing electron-donor para-methoxy and para-dimethylamino groups gave complexes with barium perchlorate.     

Raman echo under medium excitation by extremely short pulses

A generalization of the Bloembergen-Shen model to Raman active molecules with an arbitrary number of normal modes was suggested. The generalized model was used to study Raman echo signal characteristics when a system of molecules was excited by pulses of widths up to one period of optical oscillations. It was shown that a large number of echo responses on Stokes and anti-Stokes components could arise even under a two-pulse action in a continuous monochromatic pumping field. The number of echo responses depended on the number of molecular normal modes and the geometry of measurements. At small exciting pulse “areas,” the echo responses whose Stokes and anti-Stokes components corresponded to normal vibrational modes of a molecule had the highest intensity, whereas the components formed by normal mode combinations were strongly suppressed.     

Electromagnetoacoustic transparency of a paramagnetic crystal

The possibility of synchronously controlling the hypersound and light propagation in a low-temperature paramagnet under the action of a high-power resonance optical pumping is studied theoretically. The effect combines the properties of electromagnetic and acoustic induced transparencies. It is shown that, for certain values of control parameters (external electric field strength and pumping intensity), the paramagnet may become transparent simultaneously to light and sound. The group velocities of sound and light may become comparable in magnitude.     

Catalytic decomposition of ozone over cupric oxide catalysts

Kinetic regularities of the catalytic decomposition of ozone over IC-12-1 and ICT-12-9 cupric oxide catalysts in wetted gases have been studied. These catalysts are suggested to be effective for ozone decomposition.

5-Amino-4, 6-dichloro-, 5-amino-4-chloro-6-methoxy-, and 5-amino-4-chloro-6-morpholinopyrimidines react with PCl₅ to form monomeric 5-(trichlorophosphoranyleneamino)pyrimidines.     

Investigation of nitrogen- and sulfur-containing heterocycles

A number of derivatives of a new heterocyclic system — pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]-7-oxazinone- were obtained by the reaction of substituted 5-hydroxy-6-aminopyrimidines with ethyl esters of-halocarboxylic acids.See [1] for communication XXIII.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1285–1288, September, 1972.     

Tracer study of complete oxidation complexes in the oxidative dehydrogenation of butylene

A tracer technique using divinyl-¹⁴C was used to determine the butylene and divinyl contents in the surface complexes of complete oxidation during the oxidative dehydrogenation of butylenes over Bi–Mo, Fe–Sb and Fe₂O₃ catalysts. The rate of decomposition of the surface complexes was found to be independent of their relative butylene and divinyl content.
