Vibrating polar macromolecules present with in the confining membrane and in the interior of biological cells function as emitters of electromagnetic field covering a broad frequency spectrum. Sustained oscillation can be fuelled by intracellular metabolic source. The phenomenon was modelled by Frohlich in the form of rate equation for the oscillator occupation number. Diagrammatic analysis is applied on these equations to reveal the presence of feedback mechanism. The mathematical formulism associated with the diagrams affords quantitative evaluation of the feedback effects. This constitutes an important factor in the characterisation of the cell as a source whose radiation is to be detected by a planar microelectrode chip functioning as a receiving antenna.","PeriodicalId":378441,"journal":{"name":"ASDAM '98.

Bi being an isovalent impurity decreased the growth rate of GaAs layer to 0.01-0.1 nm/s and, at the same time, it deletes background impurities from a melt. When active layers of Al/sub x/Ga/sub 1-X/As heterolaser (x=0.02-0.15) were doped by Yb and Bi it has been revealed that the conductivity inversion point is shifted towards lower concentration of Yb in a melt. Thus the low temperature LPE method and doping an active layer (Bi) allow the fabrication of low threshold injection semiconductor heterolaser.","PeriodicalId":378441,"journal":{"name":"ASDAM '98.
