Science Opportunitiesin Azerbaijan

The Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) has developed this booklet as a reference guide for opportuni-ties in this country. Similar booklets are being developed for universities, scientific institutes and technology opportuni-ties in the five countries that STCU works in, namely, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, Uzbekistan.

Over the last few years it has become apparent to us that such scientific organizations need to promote their scientificskills and opportunities in order to seek partnering opportunities with western investors and western organizations, bothpublic and private. This booklet contains one-page capability descriptions of Azerbaijan universities and scientific insti-tutes (Institute Profile Forms- IPFs). After each IPF one can find a number of one-page technology profile forms (TPFs).More information can be obtained directly from the scientific contacts provided at the universities and institutes.

As these countries move toward a market-driven economic structure, their scientific institutes and universities will becomeincreasingly important as technology drivers that promote the scientific research and technologies that are being devel-oped and produced by their scientists. In order to establish business relations with western investors and business peo-ple, the various scientific communities will need new tools that will enable them to demonstrate their intellectual capitalin the most productive manner.

To meet the competitive challenges of integrating into the largely knowledge-based economies of the western world, thecountries of the former Soviet Union will need to change and adapt. They will need to utilize the forms by which scien-tific communities get their products to the marketplace and through sales acquire wealth and promote healthy economies.Licensing, technology transfer and new high technology start-up companies will be some of the necessary steps lead-ing to global economic integration.

An integral and valuable resource for universities, scientists, researchers, and scientific organizations in the West is thedevelopment of Technology Transfer Offices within their various organizations. The scientific communities in the coun-tries of the former Soviet Union are now aware that the kind of services that these Technology Transfer Offices provideis very much needed by them also. This booklet of Science Opportunities in Azerbaijan is a way to address this need.

We want to thank the scientific organizations that have prepared the original profiles of their scientific expertise and theirtechnology opportunities. It must be noted that in translating from one language into another exact correlations are notalways possible; stylistic, cultural, business and legal discrepancies do occur.

Good luck with your scientific developments, and may this booklet help to promote the scientific opportunities that existin Azerbaijan, as it moves toward a global, market-driven knowledge economy.

DescriptionAt present there is a decrease of produced oil resourcesstructure. A significant growth of oil deposits both onshoreand offshore transferring to a late production stage is ob-served. In the oil resources structure the most part is fallingto the share of heavy-recoverable reserves. As the oil fieldsproduction practice showed about 70 % of heavy-recover-able oil is contained in low-permeable, stagnant zones and30% - in capillary-confined and film oil. As a result of it,there is a necessity in the development and creation of newtechnologies increasing scope of deposits with heavy-re-coverable resources and simultaneous increase of oil re-covery oil. Growth of hydrocarbon production dependsupon waterflood system improvement that becomes pos-sible when applying physical-chemical, thermal methodsand other oil recovery increase. Each of the above-men-tioned methods influences on one of the factors (high oilviscosity and interphase tension at the oil-water border) de-creasing oil recovery ratio. In this connection it is neces-sary to create method which will simultaneously impact onseveral factors decreasing efficiency of oil recovery. Thesuggested DSL system increases oil recovery and unlikeother systems is economically profitable.

Innovative Aspects and Main AdvantagesThe essence of the process deals with the use of compo-sition allowing to significantly decreasing interphase ten-sion between oil-water, increase angle of contact ofselective rock’s wetting as well as decrease oil viscositythat will lead to oil volume decrease in blocked water inpores and residual oil-saturation as compared to tradition-ally applied methods. Outwardly, composition represents aliquid of a dark-brown color easily-soluble in the water. Av-erage molecular mass is 256.. Application of the given com-position is possible in wide range of oil densities varyingfrom a light (ρ < 870 kg/m3) to heavy (ρ > 920 kg/m3). DSLcomposition can be used in combination with polymerflooding. DSL solution impacts on rheological oil charac-teristics that positively influences on oil displacementprocess.

Areas of Application• Company is engaged in hydrocarbon production in dif-

ferent geological, physical and technological condi-tions;

• Leading oil-gas companies, production-commercialassociation.

Stage of DevelopmentThe conducted pilot works on Balakhany, Sabunchi fieldsetc. showed a significant increase of reservoir recovery thattestifies to a high quality of composition.

DescriptionUnder natural conditions the rock skeleton is subjected todeformation under simultaneous influence of rock, forma-tion (pore pressure) pressures and temperature. As a resultof reaction and influence efficiency with depth of each in-dicted thermobaric factors and lithological rock composi-tion one can observe consolidation and decompression.Under conditions of uniform compression during rock de-formation, rock’s consolidation limit is resulted by rockskeleton’s micro-deformation. At the same time rock de-compression is excluded due to lack of counteractingforces. The most difficult and at the same time useful fromthe practical point of view is the process related to rocksdeconsolidation followed by development of secondaryprocesses i.e. pore space volume increase. High-pressureand temperature experimental facilities with interpore pres-sures and testing techniques were elaborated and de-signed in order to study these complicated and importantprocesses.

Innovative Aspects and Main AdvantagesExperimental facility enables to determine rocks, collectorsand clays properties providing creation of separate and si-multaneous geostatic pressure (500 MPа), pore pressure –to 200 МPа and temperature 200˚ – 300˚С at depth 15 – 20km. This facility allows to create:

• External pressure -500 МPа;• Interpore pressure - 200 МPа;• Temperature- 250˚ – 300˚ С˚;• Separate and simultaneous pressure and tempera-

ture impact;• Simultaneous measuring of several physical parame-

ters in case of rocks saturation with different fluids; • Pore liquid substitution with other fluids under different

thermodynamic conditions.

Areas of ApplicationThe results of elaborations can be used when estimating fil-tration-capacitive and collector rock properties.

This equipment can be used in:

• Reserves estimation;

• Oil-gas fields exploration;• Well drilling;• Estimation of quantitative rocks deconsolidation.

Stage of DevelopmentPrototype is available. The conducted tests showed goodresults. For the first time there was determined a linear lawof porosity change and permeability of rock-collectors ofdifferent lithological composition during a fall of initial for-mation pressure and fixed rock pressure corresponding tothe depth of bed occurrence on the fields of the SouthCaspian Depression.

Depths and values of effective pressures leading to rocksdecompaction and development of secondary processeswere determined. Patterns of change of physical-mechanicproperties of porosity, permeability, rock strength proper-ties under different thermobaric conditions corresponding todepths within 10 -15 km.

DescriptionThere have been worked out the technologies on us-ing of thenegative pressure phenomenon for increas-ing the efficiencyof oil producing at different well operation methods, cleaningof oil producing and transportation hydraulic systems (wellbore, pipeline) from various accumulations.

The negative pressure is one of metastable states of liquid inwhich it can be extended up to a certain limit without a gap ofcontinuity. There are numerous results of experimental works,mainly of American scientists, in which by providing high de-gree of purity of a system “liquid-vessel”, there have beenreached great values of negative pressure (up to -40MPa) inlaboratory conditions. However, these results of the experi-mental works have not been practically imple-mented, as realliquids in the Nature and technologi-cal processes are multi-component, “dirty” systems.

On the basis of use of certain kinetic and hydraulic factors wefor the first time succeeded to receive experimentally a wave ofnegative pressure in real liq-uids, as a crude oil, water, solu-tions, etc. The wave of negative pressure is a turned solitonwave with one hump that is negative. It is a rather conservativewave, which mainly keeps its shape and dimensions reachinglong distances with an acoustic sound velocity. The technologyprovides generation negative pressure waves in the well usingthe special mecha-nisms that leads to the shock depression im-pact, and as a result, to considerable growth in the oil influx,bottom-hole cleaning, accompanied by essential saving bothreservoir and lifting energies, elimination and prevention ofsandy bridging, paraffin, silt, water, etc. accumulations.

For implementations of these technologies corresponding in-stallations have been elaborated, in part, equipments forcleaning out of oil holes from sand plugs, increasing of effi-ciency and effectiveness of gas-lift well operations and bot-tom-hole pumping.

Innovative Aspects and Main AdvantagesElaborated technologies are based on idea of genera-tion ofnegative pressure waves in real hydraulic systems which givespossibility to create the principally new energy saving tech-nology and convenient installations to increase effectivenessand efficiency of different oil production and transportationprocesses.

The technologies are more advantageous than existing ones.For example, in cleaning out of oil-holes from sand plugs the

most operative and effective liquidation of different sand plugsirrespective of their rheological character is provided, associ-ated with completed bottom-hole cleaning, essential increaseof oil recovery and overhaul period. Elaborated equipment issimple and easy to use.

Other comparatively advantageous application of our technol-ogy provides increase of efficiency of a gas-lift well operation,expressed in considerable reduction of a specific gas consump-tion associated with essential increase of oil recovery and over-haul period. Based on a simple mechanism it is easy to use.

Areas of ApplicationGranular foamglass is a very good filler of the concrete struc-tures, which gives them a lightness, and good thermal prop-erties. It is used in the construction of industrial and civilbuildings as well as in rural construction.

Stage of DevelopmentSome applications of the technology are completely de-veloped and have passed broad tests in field conditions as aresult of which effectiveness and efficiency of oil well opera-tions (gas-lift, rod pumping) were considerably in-creased,sand plugs of different heights and origin have been eliminatedoperatively and high effectively.

There are other applications that are on either conceptual ideaor completed lab tests stages.

DescriptionThe technology of definition of true values of the funda-mental elastic moduluses of the linear elasticity (Lamé co-efficients λ and μ, or, that is the same, the Poissoncoefficient ν and Е module) of the rocks and geologicalmedia in their natural states has been de-veloped.

Innovative Aspects and Main AdvantagesFor the first time the method has been developed that al-lows more precisely and truly determine the true values offundamental elastic moduluses of the linear elasticity of therocks and geological media in their natural states, i.e. tak-ing unto account their modern geodynamic evolution. Thismethod operates on the base of field and well seismic data.

The existing and widely used (mainly in oil companies)modern methods (analogues) are based on the linear the-ory of elasticity and elastic waves and allow determine onlythe effective (“apparent”) values of the required parame-ters.

The proposed method is based on a more substanti-atedand precise non-classically-linearized theory (NLT) of thedeformed hard materials and elastic waves and allowsdefining the true values of those parameters on the base ofinformation on velocity of longitudinal and transverse seis-mic waves, non-linear elastic deformations and pressures.

Areas of ApplicationThe method can be used in seismic surveys, geophysicaland geological surveys of oil companies; seismology; en-gineering geophysics and geology; scientific investigationsand education as well.

Stage of DevelopmentAlgorithm of method and appropriate computer pack-ageprogram has been prepared. The interface of the computerprogram for usage is being worked out at present. Euro-pean patent for method is in process.

The fundamental properties of material, including the Pois-son coefficient, should be invariant relatively to the leveland type of acting external loads and for all natural and ar-

tificial materials 0≤ν ≤0,5. The results on figure show thatduring the experiment the requirements of linear theory ofelasticity on small deformation and the Hooke law havebeen distorted. These results reflect the influences of manyfactors that are not taken into account in dependencies ofphenomenological theory. The probability of appearance ofsuch complications using the real seismic data is highenough.

DescriptionA modified technique for the growth of Ge-rich Ge-Si singlecrystals is developed on the basis of the vertical Bridgmanmethod using a Ge seed and a Si source rod. Single crys-tals were grown in two stages (Fig.1.). In the first stage, aSi source rod was partially immersed in the Ge melt abovethe seed. A gradual increase in the Si content in the meltleads to constitutional supercooling at the crystallizationfront and to the growth of an inhomogeneous Ge-Si buffersingle crystal. The first stage ends when the temperature atthe crystallization front becomes equal to the liquid’s tem-perature of the specified composition of the Ge-Si system.In the second stage, a homogeneous Ge-Si single crystalis grown while maintaining a constant growth temperature.The growth temperature is controlled by an appropriate bal-ance between the pulling and feeding rates. Relations de-termining the optimal process parameters (the pulling andfeeding rates and the temperature gradient at the crystal-lization front) for growing crystals of specified compositionare obtained.

Innovative Aspects and Main AdvantagesGrowth of Ge-Si single crystals with desired graded anduniform compositions without using adequate solid solu-tions seed rods.

Areas of ApplicationThe potential application include optoelectronic devices,thermoelectric power generation, intrinsic and extrinsicphoto detectors, solar cells, substrate for epitaxial growthtechniques.

DescriptionThe method of phase separation was used for developmentof novel small particles-liquid crystalline composites dis-playing network formation. Composites have been createdby variation of type and concentration of liquid crystal (LC)and polymer, and also regime of mixing and cooling. Thefollowing materials are used for development of liquid crys-talline composites: liquid crystals 4-pentylcyano-4'-biphenyl(5CB); liquid crystal 4-methoxybenzilidene - 4' – butylani-line (MBBA); liquid crystal 4-ethoxybenzilidene-4'-butylaniline (EBBA); the mixture of MBBA and EBBA withmolar ratio of 1:1 ( H-37) and 2:1 (H-8); polymer poly(2-methyl-5-vinylprydine)(PMVP); polymer poly(ethylenegly-col) (PEG); polymer poly(vinylalcohol (PVA); the stabilizerheptixybenzoic acid (HOBA).

The kinetics of network formation has been investigated bythe methods of polarized microscopy and small-angle scat-tering of laser radiation through obtained composites 5CB+ PEG + HOBA and H-37+PVMP + HOBA in which the ma-trix of the first composite has positive optical anisotropy andthe matrix of the second one – negative.

Threshold voltages of homeotropic-planar transition andthe elctrohydrodynamic instability, times of switching onand switching off for these effects, and also volt-contrastcharacteristics of these composites have been determined.

It is shown that the network is formed at some critical con-centration: it equals to 7% for the H-37+PVMP + HOBAsystem while for the 5CB + PEG + HOBA composite – 9%.At that case, temperature of isotropic-nematic transition isshifted to low temperatures for the H-37+PVMP + HOBAcomposite while it remains constant for the 5CB + PEG +HOBA composite. The threshold voltages of homeotropic-nematic transition and the electrohydrodynamic instabilityincrease, contrast ratios are worsen, the rise time remainsconstant while the decay time decreases in the H-37+PVMP + HOBA composite. The threshold voltages ofthe homeotropic-nematic transition increases, the electro-hidrodynamic instability does not change, contrast ratiosare worsen, the rise and decay times decreases in the 5CB+ PEG + HOBA composite.

Innovative Aspects and Main AdvantagesNovel type of self-assembly systems which are formed atpreliminary heating of the mixture of polymer and LC above

melting temperature Tm of polymer and temperature Tin ofisotropic-nematic transition of LC has been developed. Atintermixing process the drops of polymer are formed in theisotropic phase of LC. These drops are transformed to thesolid balls at slow cooling of the mixture lower Tm, and thenform network in liquid crystal phase at further cooling. Atthat case, the ball sizes depend on cooling rate. The 2Dand 3D periodic structures may be formed in these com-posites. The parameters of these structures are operatedby applied electric field.

Areas of ApplicationThe components of photonic devices operated by electricfield: displays, photonic crystals, gratings.

DescriptionSemiconductor GaSb was made by alloying and refining itby the method of horizontal recrystallization. Additionally,GaSb-FeGa1.3 and GaSb-CоGa1.3 eutectic alloys were pre-pared by alloying of GaSb with Fe and Co, respectively,using the vertical Bridgman method. To avoid ampoule vi-bration that may disturb the solid-melt interface, the pre-pared sample was kept motionless with the movement ofthe freezing interface accomplished by lifting the furnace.The solidified interfaces were planar and oriented perpen-dicular to the transport direction on all ingot sections. Thesolidification rate was set to about 1mm/min. Employingthis technique, the structure with needle-shaped metallicFeGa1.3 and CоGa1.3 phase parallel oriented in a specificdirection and uniformly distributed within the GaSb matrixwas obtained. The oriented needles were found to be about1 μm and 0.5 μm in diameter, 20-150 μm and 10-20μm inlength and with ∼3,3х104mm-2 and 20х104mm-2 density forinclusions FeGa1.3 and CоGa1.3, respectively. A PhilipsTM

FEG scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employedto characterize the microstructure of the alloys. An energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) model EDAXTM wasused to obtain quantitative information about the elementalcomposition in the matrix, the metal inclusions and the in-terphase zone of the samples.

From the grown crystals tenzoresistor elements with thesizes of 7x0,08x0,2 mm3 were prepared.

Some characteristics of these composites may be ad-justable with change in the size and density of the metallicinclusions that may be controlled during alloy preparation.These are important for their use as sensing elements inoptical polarizers, detectors of infrared radiation, tenzore-sistors and so forth.

Innovative Aspects and Main AdvantagesPreliminary studies has been showed that the tensorezis-tors with linear, thermostable and unhysteresis character-istics on the base these eutectic composites were obtained;the temperature coefficient of strain sensitivity factor forGaSb-CoGa1.3<Co> tenzoresistors was an order less incomparison with the GaSb-FeGa1.3 tenzoresistors.

Areas of ApplicationMeasurements of deformation and mechanical stress ofdetails and constructions in engineering, oil and aircraft in-dustries.

DescriptionThere are developed laboratory technologies of manufac-turing of the barrier structures which are suitable for use inthe devices of nonlinear optics and photoelectronics. In par-ticular, the development of the electric-field controlled mod-ulator on the basis of Cu-GaSe-Al structure for modulationof reflected of the He-Ne laser radiation as well as the mod-ulator on the basis of Cu-GaSe-ITO for modulation of trans-mitted light of laser radiation have been realized. Operationof such modulators is based on shifting of edge of the op-tical absorption due to only Frantz-Keldysh effect at mini-mization of the contribution due to Joule heating. Also thedevelopment of a high-speed attenuator on the basis ofInSe of laser radiation on a wave-length 1.06 microns(YAG:Nd+3 the laser) operating on joint contribution of theFrantz-Keldysh effect and the Joule heating on shift of edgeof the optical absorption is carried out. It is shown that thesharp raise of the photocurrent is observed at reverse biasin Cu-GaSe-ITO structure in short-wave range of spectrum,which on five orders exceed value of photocurrent at zerobias due to cumulative ionization of charge carriers in therange of spatial charge. The raised photosensitivity of suchstructure extending in ultraviolet range gives occasion tomaking of effective detector UF of radiation. It is shown alsothat controlling by the technological process of growth oflayered crystals GaSe it is possible to use their disorderingof the layers grouped similarly to a prism for manufacturingthe positional deflectors of radiation.

Innovative Aspects and Main AdvantagesThe practical absence of the broken bonds and smooth sur-face obtained by easy splitting of layers makes maximallysimplify of producing technology of creation of the surface-barrier and MIS-structures on the basis of InSe, GaSe lay-ered semiconductors. Use of layered materials at creationof photodetectors of visible and ultra-violet ranges of spec-trum allows reaching the certain advantage in comparisonwith silicon photodetectors on parameters of the photo-sensivity, the thermo-stability and the radiating resistance.

DescriptionThe basic regularities and physical mechanisms of activa-tion porous synthetic and natural adsorbents by means ofno equilibrium electric discharges are revealed. Influence ofelectric discharges (barrier, torch or corona types) on ad-sorption process is one of process control facilities. Thereason of increase adsorption abilities of adsorbents(clynoptylolite, bentonite clay, zeolite, silicagel) is formationof the charged condition on a surface or in volume of a ma-terial under influence of an electric field and the discharge.Efficiency of the electric discharge effect on sorptionprocesses is determined by an opportunity of direct inter-ference in sorption process proceeding, small power con-sumption, economy and manufacturability.

Innovative Aspects and Main AdvantagesThe opportunity and perspectives of electrodischarge acti-vation the natural and synthetic porous structures for in-creasing its adsorption properties are established. It isrevealed, that at effect of electric discharges in air on a sur-face of porous adsorbents the formation of a charged con-dition in a material that leads to essential growth ofadsorbents’ adsorption properties is observed.

DescriptionThe main absorber of frequency-dependent resistor, whichis ferromagnetic sheath, has the component the perme-ability of which has the maximum 0,1-20MHz interval. As aresult of this the skin-effect depth in this region strongly de-creases leading to the strong increase of resistor resist-ance in this frequency region and the decrease ofhigh-frequency current (over-voltage) component. The fer-rite, which is used in radio engineering industry for contourfrequency tuning and etc., is chosen in the capacity of fer-romagnetic component. The theoretic model describing thecarrying out of electromagnetic processes and functioningof resistor sheath has been formed.

DescriptionThin film CdS/CdTe heterojunction devices have been pre-pared by low-temperature vacuum deposition method. Forthe device fabrication CdS films of about 90nm and CdTefilms of about 5.0 µm thick were subsequently evaporatedonto bilayer SnO2 coated Corning 7059 glass substrates.High purity CdS and CdTe powders were used as a sourcematerial. Temperature of the substrates was hold at 218Kduring the evaporation process. The growth rate was con-trolled by keeping the source temperature within the rangeof 600-6500C and was about 1.5 nm/s.

CdCl2 treatment was carried out using “dry” method wherethe samples were exposed to CdCl2 vapor at 4000C for 5-7 min. in vacuum chamber in the presence of 100 torr oxy-gen and 400 torr helium (total pressure was 500 torr). Thenthe samples were etched in HNO3:H3PO4:H2O mixture (NPetch) in order to convert the CdTe surface to elemental tel-lurium. For the back contact fabrication the special mixtureof graphite paste, CuxTe, and HgTe was deposited and thesamples were annealed at 2600C for 25 min. in the pres-ence of inert gas. Silver paste back face electrode was nextdeposited and the samples were annealed at 1000C in airto complete the devices.

Innovative Aspects and Main AdvantagesLow-temperature evaporation method of CdS and CdTethin films was found to be one of the successful ways forhigh efficiency solar cell application. Nearly the same grainsizes and surface morphologies as well as high density ofthe films provide an optimum intermixing of the compo-nents favoring the formation of junction with low concen-tration of interface states. As a result the high efficiencysolar cells with conversion efficiency up to 14 % were fab-ricated. Our preliminary studies show the possibility of fur-ther optimization of the manufacturing technology ofCdS/CdTe thin film solar cells by varying physical proper-ties of the device components to achieve maximum effi-ciency.

DescriptionBy theoretical researches of characteristics of reflection ofelectromagnetic radiation of two- and three-layer flat sys-tems containing in the structure absorbing dielectric sub-strate from one - or two coverings translucent it from notabsorbing material, there is established that in the field ofa dispersion of waves of substance of a substrate there areselective values of a thickness of a layer of coverings andfrequency of falling radiation at which reflection of radiationfrom such systems is absent. The equations which defineconditions and a frequency strip of full absorption of fallingradiation of such system are received. At given values offrequency of falling radiation and corresponding opticalproperties of substances of a substrate and coverings, theyallow to calculate optimum sizes of a thickness of layers ofcoverings. The possibility of such full, non-reflective ab-sorption of electromagnetic radiation remains also at itsfalling at an angle on two-layer system. So, at falling of thecross-section-polarised component of radiation (S-wave)full absorption arises at selective values of a thickness of acoat layer and wave falling of translucence angle. In a caseof falling of the in parallel-polarised component of radiation(P-wave) full absorption arises already at two selective val-ues of a thickness of a coat layer and two falling angles ofa wave: translucence angle and at angle, to a similar cor-ner of Brjuster for transparent environments.

DescriptionTraditional investigations, synthesis and use of anti –Stokes luminophors (ASL) have an objective to visualizeIR-radiation, i.e. IR-signal conversion into visible band(0.38÷0.76mkm). Recently there have been created sys-tems of length fiber optic communication lines where datacarrier is the radiation with wavelength about 1.55 mkm.There have been developed lasers on the base of erbiumglasses with wavelength of generation 1.54÷1.65 mkm.Therefore activation of wide-band semiconductive com-pounds EuGa2S4 and YbGa2S4 by 4f-elements, study of im-purity state and behavior is one of the central issues ofphysics and material science of semiconductors as awhole.

Nowadays complex rare – earth compounds of MIM2IIX4

VI

(MI -Eu, Yl,Sm; MII-Ga,In; X4VI- S,Se) – typed take a special

place among wide - band semiconductors.

MIM2IIX4

VI - typed crystals have been crystallized in rhom-bic singony, they are high – resistance (105÷10IIOhm/cm),wide-band (~4.4eV) semiconductors and show particularlypronounced luminescent and photoconductive properties.

In according with above- mentioned it is of interest spec-troscopic investigation of 4f-elements in Eu (Yb) Ga2S4

crystals.

There has been developed technology of II-III2 - IV2 (II-Eu,Yb,Sm,Ca, Sr,Ba; III-Ga,Al;VI-S,Se,O) - typed semicon-ductors activated by rare-earth ions.

Innovative Aspects and Main AdvantagesProduction of effective devices for visualization and illumi-nation, being able to compete with traditional systems re-quires to manufacture luminophors with specific properties.This necessity promotes development of new materials andoptimization of existing luminophors. İn this aspect per-spective ones are ternary alkali-earth chalcogenide semi-conductors of II-III2 - IV2 (II-Eu, Yb,Sm,Ca, Sr,Ba;III-Ga,Al;VI-S,Se,O) – typed activated by rare-earth ions.One of the qualities of ternary compounds comparingfavourably with binary one as regards applied use is the re-sistance to hydrolysis and good implantation of rare-earthions into crystal lattice. High linearity of cathode lumines-cence at high densities of current makes them suitable foruse as a luminophor in TV and field ionization displays. Se-

lection of corresponding sensitizers and activators one canchange efficiency of conversion of various kinds of energyinto light one and luminescence colors of these com-pounds.

Areas of ApplicationSystems of fiber optic communication lines, lasers withwavelength of generation 1.54-1/65mkm, night visionequipments.

Stage of DevelopmentDevelopment phase - laboratory tested.

DescriptionDue to using universal strain module with n-Ge1-хSiх strainresistors tiny sensitive high-frequency gauges were devel-oped for measurement of force of pressure of liquids andgases in ranges from 0…4⋅104 Pа up to 0…30 МPа.

The sensitive element of such devices is the electro-mechanical resonator of string type with electrostatic exci-tation of cross-section mechanical fluctuations. The stringis implemented from strain sensitive threadlike monocrys-tal n-Ge1-хSiх by length 1-5mm, in diameter 8-12mkm andis rigidly fixed by the ends of plate or a deformable surface(in an elastic element) in the distance 50mkm from it. At in-crease of nuclear percent Si in n-Ge1-хSiх strain sensitivityof the gauge increases too.

Each gauge of pressure is supplied with the amplifier whichraises resolution, and the device of the coordination with adata-acquisition equipment.

The gauge of pressure is radiation proof in comparison withmade crystals Ge or Si.

Innovative Aspects and Main AdvantagesDevelopment and creation of corresponding gauges airpossible at using as sensitive elements of strings with phys-ical-mechanical properties close to ideal ones, and directtransformation of mechanical fluctuations of strings in to anelectric signal.

Criterion of obtaining of the highest sensitivity(>109Hz/rel.unit deformations of the string converter to themeasured size) is the opportunity of using of extremelyshort and thin crystals.

The gauge of pressure contains a monocrystal siliconmembrane and string strainconverters from a threadlikemonocrystal n-Ge-Si. Use of the technique when position ofcrystal on the membrane at its deformation by pressurecorresponds to a free (loose) condition, has allowed to ob-tain the maximal sensitivity while measuring of pulsationsof pressure.

In comparison with other string converters used at the pres-ent, string monocrystal strainconverters allow to providehigher sensitivity and accuracy of measurement at minimalexternal dimensions and power consumption.

Areas of ApplicationAviation and space techniques, a robotics, medicine.

Stage of DevelopmentIt was developed and test experiments conducted at the In-stitute of Radiation Problems ANAS and at the Lvov Poly-technical Institute in Ukraine.
