Use of steel and tantalum apparatus for molten Cd-Mg-Zn alloys

Steel and tantalum apparatus contains various ternary alloys of cadmium, zinc, and magnesium used in pyrochemical processes for the recovery of uranium-base reactor fuels. These materials exhibit good corrosion resistance at the high temperatures necessary for fuel separation in liquid metal-molten salt solvents.

New technology from 100 ampere-hour Ni-Cd space battery program

The present paper describes some of the results of a 100 Ah battery development program. Background, module design, cell terminal design, and other technology newly used are described. It is shown that the program led to successful production of both cell and module, and that several areas utilized new technology and contributed advances to the sealed secondary battery state-of-the-art.

A CCD scanned (Hg, Cd)Te array for earth viewing applications

A 9 channel demonstration of 10 micrometer photoconductive mercury cadmium telluride detector array, bipolar preamplifiers, and a Si CCD multiplexer, integrated into a focal plane assembly and operating at 105 K and at 17 Hz is reported. The result of a direct coupling experiment between a 5-micrometer photovoltaic mercury cadmium telluride photodiode and a CCD is revealed. No appreciable degradation in the signal-to-noise ratio was experienced.

Multilayered (Hg,Cd)Te infrared detector

Multilayered mercury-cadmium telluride photoconductive detectors were developed which are capable of providing individual coverage of three separate spectral wavelength bands without the use of beam splitters. The multilayered "three-color" detector on a single dewar takes the place of three separate detector/filter/dewar units and enables simpler and more reliable mechanical and optical designs for multispectral scanners and radiometers. Wavelength channel design goals (in micrometers) were: 10.1 to 11.0, 11.0 to 12.0, and 13.0. Detectivity for all channels was 1 x 10 to the 10th power cm-Hz 1/2/Watt. A problem occurred in finding an epoxy layer which had good infrared transmission properties and which also was chemically and mechanically compatible with HgCdTe processing techniques. Data on 6 candidate bonding materials are surveyed and discussed.
