Accelerated life testing of GaAs complementary heterojunction field effect transistors (CHFET) was carried out. Temperature dependence of single and synchronous rectifier CHFET device characteristics were also obtained.
The 116-394 K temperature range elastic constants, ultimate strengths and thermal expansion behavior of T300/5208 graphite/epoxy laminates of various different lay-up types have been determined. It is noted that most properties exhibit nearly linear temperature dependencies, although the transverse modulus and axial thermal expansion vary nonlinearly with temperature, and change in value by an order of magnitude over the present temperature range.

Temperature dependence of the yielding behavior of sap-type dispersion strengthened alloys
Temperature-dependent elastic properties were determined by establishing continuous flexural vibrations in the material at its lowest resonance frequency of 31tHz. The imaginary part of the complex impedance plotted as a function of frequency and temperature reveals a thermally activated peak, which decreases in magnitude as the temperature increases. Additions of yttria do not degrade the electromechanical in particularly the elastic and anelastic properties of lanthanum titanate. Y2O3/La2Ti2O7 exhibits extremely low internal friction and hence may be more mechanical fatigue-resistant at low strains.
The absolute intensities of the 8-12 micron bands from Freon 11 (CFCl3) were measured at temperatures of 294 and 216 K. Intensities of the bands centered at 798, 847, 934, and 1082 per cm are all observed to depend on temperature. The temperature dependence for the 847 and 1082 per cm fundamental regions is attributed to underlying hot bands; for the nu2 + nu5 combination band (934 per cm), the observed temperature dependence is in close agreement with theoretical prediction. The implication of these results on atmospheric IR remote-sensing is briefly discussed.
The temperature dependence of the gate current versus the gate voltage in complementary heterojunction field-effect transistors (CHFET's) is examined. An analysis indicates that the gate conduction is due to a combination of thermionic emission, thermionic-field emission, and conduction through a temperature-activated resistance. The thermionic-field emission is consistent with tunneling through the AlGaAs insulator. The activation energy of the resistance is consistent with the ionization energy associated with the DX center in the AlGaAs. Methods reducing the gate current are discussed.
The pressure and temperature dependences of the reaction NO2 + NO3 + M which yields N2O5 + M are investigated by using the flash photolysis/visible absorption technique in which the pseudo-first-order decay of NO3 is monitored as a function of total pressure (20-700 torr), diluent gas (M = He and N2), and temperature (236-358 K). The reaction is found to be in the falloff region in the 20-700 torr pressure range with collision efficiencies increasing in the order He less than N2. Falloff parameters are obtained by fitting the experimental data to the falloff equation of Troe and co-workers. The expression for k1(N2 concentration, T) is obtained and compared with the evaluations presented in the NASA (DeMore, 1983) and CODATA (Baulch et al., 1982) reviews of kinetic data for atmospheric chemistry. Both evaluations are based on N2O5 thermal decomposition data coupled with estimates of the equilibrium constant. The significance of the reactions for atmospheric chemistry rests not only on their rates but on the extent to which they result in a permanent sink for NOX.
An investigation of the temperature dependence of the ultrasonic properties of AS4/lexan and XAS/lexan composites is summarized. In particular, a technique for determination of velocity and attenuation as a function of temperature, for both the matrix and composite materials is determined. The separation of contributions of the matrix and fiber to ultrasonic propagation and scattering is discussed. Work begun on the characterization of wave propagation in graphite fiber/polymer matrix composites is described.

The temperature dependence of the NO + O3 reaction rate was examined by means of the fast flow technique. Several different experimental conditions and detection schemes were employed. With excess NO or excess O3, NO2 chemiluminescence was monitored. In addition, with excess O3, NO was followed by fluorescence induced by an NO microwave discharge lamp. The results of the three independent sets of data are compared and found to agree within experimental error, indicating the absence of secondary chemistry which might complicate the kinetics. The data exhibit curvature on an Arrhenius plot; however, the simple Arrhenius expression k = (2.6 + or - 0.8) x 10 to the -12th exp(-1435 + or - 64/T) cu cm/molecule s is an adequate description for T between 195 and 369 K. This result is compared to earlier determinations.
The temperature dependence of the ozone absorption cross section at 253.7 nm has been measured between 195 and 351 K. The experimental technique employed circumvents the necessity to determine the absolute ozone concentration for each temperature measurement. Below 273 K the cross section increases approximately 0.6 percent, while toward higher temperatures the cross section decreases rapidly. In a comparison, good agreement with other recently made measurements is shown.
Relative rate experiments were used to measure the rate constant and temperature dependence of the reaction of OH radicals with 2-fluoropropane (HFC-281ea), using ethane, propane, ethyl chloride as reference standards.
