The samples were made on the basis of p-silicon by planar technology. Samples with one, two, and three GR were produced. It was found that increasing the amount of n+-GRs does not reduce the dark current of the REs. But with an increase in the number of n+-GRs, the probability of an edge breakdown of the n+-p-junction in the regions of the exit of the hetero-junction of the GR to the surface increases. It is possible to reduce the levels of dark current of REs and GR by combining n+- and p+- guard regions, where p+-GR is a region of restriction of dark current leakage channels, isotypic with the substrate material. PD was made with p+-GR on the periphery of the crystal in the form of a concentric ring, as well as with a p+- region on the entire periphery of the crystal. This makes it possible to reduce the level of of dark current of n+- GR due to the reduction of the area of collection of charge carriers from the surface. But a significant decrease in the dark current of REs was not observed in such cases. We proposed to carry out boron diffusion in the gaps between REs and between REs and n+-GR.","PeriodicalId":20137,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of Solid State","volume":"11 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139262131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Orthopaedic Innovation Centre performed 2.5 million cycles (Mc) of POD testing on two groups of CoCrMo discs with DLC based on ASTM G99-17. The discs used were made of wrought low carbon alloy CoCrMo according to ASTM F1537. Wear performance of the PE pins against the DLC coated discs was determined and reported below. Lubricant samples were collected for each group after 0.5 and 2.5 Mc of testing, and used to characterize wear particles. All PE pins were assessed for damage features following 2.5 Mc of wear testing. The damage features identified included burnishing, scratching and grooving. The new process of DLC coating deposition from filtered vacuum arc plasma flows allows obtaining the stable DLC coating on the CoCrMo substrate.

Doping of the crystals was carried out during the growth process with palladium impurity to concentrations of (1 – 2) × 1019 cm−3. In the low-temperature region beginning at a temperature of 5 K and reaching a temperature 3.5 K, a sharp decrease in resistance was observed, which is associated with the transition to superconducting state. Based on the analysis of the temperature dependence of the resistance at fixed magnetic fields, the Curie temperature Tc1=5.3 K and Tc2=3.5 K as well as the upper critical magnetic field Bc2=1.45 T and 0.25 T were determined. The established parameters indicates in II type supercondor. This is indicated by the ratio Δ0/kBTc = 2.0, which exceeds BCS limit of 1.76 and indicates a relatively large value of the superconducting gap Δ0=0.8 meV. The determined ratio A/γ2, which establishes the relationship between the electron-electron and electron-phonon interaction, is about of 2ao, which indicates a strong fermionic interaction with phonons in the PdxBi2Se3 superconductor.

This model is used to calculate the 2nd and 3rd order elastic parameters for zirconium metal. With the help of SOECs, other elastic moduli such as bulk modulus (B), Young’s modulus (Y) and shear modulus (G) have been calculated for Zr metal using Voigt-Reuss-Hill (VRH) approximations. Later, applying SOECs as well as zirconium density under the same pressure range, three orientation dependent acoustic velocities, comprising Debye average velocities, have been studied. Basic thermal characteristics such as specific heat at constant volume, thermal conductivity associated with lattice, thermal energy density, thermal relaxation time as well as acoustic coupling coefficients of zirconium metal have been also calculated at same pressure range.
