No. 109 Creation of an Acceleration-Based System for High-Dose and
High-Energy Ion Implantation Studies.

        Space work has shown the need for materials and electronics that
will show cosmic radiation resistance.  The institute behind this
project has a 2 MeV electrostatic accelerator under development with H+
and He+ ion current up to 100 mA intended for RBS, PIXE and NRA studies. 
The system will include a precision microprobe channel.

        Proceeding from the fundamental studies, it is proposed to also
develop a low-energy accelerator with a gas-phase ion source N+, B+, O+
ions:  energy is 200 keV, current up to 50 mA.  This unit has a high
emission current density, effective gas consumption; it is easy to
handle, permits ion species to be changed readily, and from current
experience, has a long service life.

        In addition, a low-energy accelerator with a vapour-phase ion
source P+, As+, Sb+, Si+, W+, Ta+, etc., ions with energy of 200 keV and
current up to 30 mA.  This source is designed with an original scheme of
space charge compensation in the accelerating gap, permitting
evaporation and formation of ion beams from all substances, including
high-melting-point materials and dielectrics; it also permits the ion
species to be changed to another ion species without stopping the source
for the switch-over.

        The equipment will be dedicated to implantation of a variety of
ions into subsurface layers and investigation of implanted layers,
simulating cosmic radiation on various materials of spaceship
electronics, nuclear reactor materials and structural elements.

No. 194 Designing and Organization of Manufacturing of the Solid-State
Radio Transmitters of Ultrashort Wave Frequency Range and Solid-State TV
Transmitters of Decimetre Frequency Range.

        Based on designs developed at the "Kant" Research Institute
original circuitry and technological solutions, the production of
solid-state ultra-short wave frequency-modulated transmitters of 88-108
MHz with the power of 1 KW will be developed.  Further, development of
solid-state linear amplifiers of 21-60 TV channels with power up to 200
W will provide the incentive to launch production of radio and TV
digital broadcasting and television of high quality.

        Among the improvements to be realized is an original method of
crystal oscillator's carrier frequency stabilization in the circuit of
synthesizer of the USW FM transmitter's exciter.

        The new models will have simplified circuits, lower prices,
higher efficiency and reliability.

No. 293 Study of Carbon Gasphase Deposition Process in the Volume of
Powder and Fibre Fillers with Catalytic Additions and without them.

        This project extends the work of this group where the
traditional liquid-phase method of obtaining carbon and graphite
materials was extended to the thermal gradient methods in the 1960s. At
present, only USA, Great Britain, Russia and Ukraine use thermal
gradient methods to produce high-qualilty carbon-carbon materials needed
for cosmic equipment.

        This project will examine the possibility of pyrocarbon
deposition under isothermal conditions over temperature ranges
(500-2300oK) at gas pressures (5-1000 torr) and  speed of transfer to
the reaction zone (0.01-10 m3/yr.).

        They will examine the possibility of decreasing the temperature
during pyrocarbon deposition by the introduction of catalytic additions;
reducing the harmful pyrolysis products; and study the morphology of
crystal structure of pyrocarbon deposition on catalytic structures.

        Research will be carried out to develop articles for industry:
crucibles, friction assemblies, and high-purity materials; fibres,
whiskers, diamond-like materials.

No. 377 Development of a Technique for the Growth of Single Crystals and
the Manufacture of Active Elements of Solid Lasers for the Near and
Medium IR Spectral Region Applied in Medicine and Engineering.

        The wide application of lasers in medicine and engineering,
etc., has resulted in a large demand for solid laser crystals in the 
near IR region (Nd-YAG crystals at a cost of ~$1000/active element). 
30% of surgical operations performed in the world are using lasers.  No
similar lasers are produced in Ukraine.  This project is aimed to
rectify this lack.  The saving to the economy is forecast at tens of
millions of US dollars.

        The personnel managing the project are well qualified, formerly
producing crystals to the current world state-of-the-art for sights and
range finders for military purposes.

        The creation of cheaper elements will modernize processes of
machine building in Ukraine also:  cutting, welding, thermal treatment
of metals and refractories, ceramics and silicon.

        The results expected include the element base for solid lasers
for medicine and engineering uses; the production of high crystal
quality (homogeneity and photostability); to manufacture commercial
products - active elements based on Nd:YAG, Ho:YAG and Er:YAG -
corresponding to world demand.

No 394  Nonorthodox Light-Emitting Diodes for Infra-red (IR-Emitters).

        The main task of this project is the investigation of the new
phenomenon: negative luminescence.  Significant efforts will be devoted
to studies of thermal emission in semiconductors and possibility of its
modulation by external factors.

        The result of this unusual condition is that the IR-emitters
develop operating efficiency at room temperature and do not need cooling
systems.  Lower costs result, with a wider area of their use in the
civilian field.  The spectral range of the device emission is determined
by the active element material.  For instance, 3-5 mm for InAs, 4-6.5 mm
for InSb, 8-14 mm for CdHgTe, 8-16 mm for Ge, the emission intensity
being 1-14 mmW/cm2, operating speed -10-1000 ms, emitting area - 0.01 x
0.01 to 0.5 x 0/5 cm.

        In addition, it is expected that a new type of IR emitters
operating at high temperatures (T> 300 K) will be developed for the
middle and far IR (l = 3 -16mm) spectral ranges.

        The personnel are experienced in IR-engineering in the military
field.  International cooperation with scientists in Poland and
Australia is assumed.

No. 428 Development of Equipment and Technologies Based on the Technique
for Modeling High-Powered Light Impules with the Use of Concentrated
Solar Energy (CSE).

        Since 1970 stabilization tests of materials and military
techniques were carried out under the influence of nuclear explosion
flash (NEF). Solar and Xe-lamp furnaces were used for simulation for
these experiments. This project adopts the solar furnace techniques of
construction for peacetime purposes.

        The concentrated solar energy (CSE) permits high temperatures up
to 3,500 K.  It is proposed that searchlight reflectors and radio
antennae used for military purposes be transformed through the addition
of mirror coatings and follow-up systems to readily make concentrators
of solar power.  Two such concentrators have performed for 25 years
without visible coating deterioration. They readily make solar furnaces
up to 120 - 400 Kw, suitable for a number of technological purposes as
listed in their proposal.

No. 437 Elaboration of Physics Base and Creation of Electronically Tuned
Multifrequency Lasers and Development of New Communication Systems,
Lidar's Technology and Analytical Equipment on that Base.

        This project is based on the experience of the authors in
developing an electronically tunable laser which emits a variable number
of spectral lines and where the control of the spectrum structure is
achieved by an acoustooptical deflector that is situated in the
dispersive resonator.  The advantages of this system are in the high
stability of the spectral component, the high speed of spectrum
modification, and the computer control.

        The system will find application on condensed media and the
spectroscopic definition of harmful compounds in the environment.  A
number of scientific innovations are involved.

No. 464 Elaboration and Investigation of the Radiation- and Heat-
Resistant Contacts for Microwave Semiconductor Devices.

        Problems in the use of metal-semiconductor heterostructures for
microwave solid-state devices have included the need for increased
stability and the reproducibility of Schottky and ohmic contacts.  These
problems are particularly evident in GaAs-based devices.

        This project will apply past experience to the design of heat-
and radiation-resistant ohmic and barrier contacts to both silicon and
gallium arsenide structures used for microwave diodes and transistors. 
Further investigation of multilayer systems (titanium, palladium,
platinum, and refractory metals) are programmed.  Non thermal beam
treatment (electron- and g-irradiation) will be applied, and the
principal mechanisms of degradation processes of metal semiconductor
contacts for microwave devices will be studied.

        The application of the results of this study should also improve
manufactured devices used in radio-link communication, alarm systems,
medicine and cars.

        This project comes from an institute where research is focused
on development, creation and optimization of novel vibration-protection
systems with quasi-zero rigidity, based on thermodynamic damping
principles using physical principles requiring elastic and damping
features over a wide range of vibration frequencies and loads on a
damping element. The project intends to develop multi-purpose, easy to
manufacture, vibration-protection transport driver seats, particularly
suited for agricultural machines, trolley buses and helicopters.  The
system anticipates making the use of complex and expensive shock
absorbers unnecessary.

No. 511 Development of a Car Pneumatic Suspension with separate Low- and
High-Frequency Vibration Damping.

        This project is related to Project #510, coming from the same
institute.  It utilizes knowledge gained by the researchers in
developing damping elements to provide POGO-stability of LP launchers
and missiles.

        The project's aim is to develop a new suspension design which
needs no liquid shock-absorber.  A mathematical model will be developed
and prototypes produced featuring quasi-zero rigidity.  The static and
dynamic characteristics of such suspensions should be higher than those
of the pneumatic hydraulic suspension installed on quality cars.  The
design will be competitive in cost.

No. 512 Development of Administrative-Business Aviation in Ukraine
(System Analysis) ABA.

        This project features the development of civil aviation
infrastructure.  Up to now business and private planes suitable to
carry, 2, 4, or 8 people have not existed in Ukraine, and therefore
aerodromes, service facilities and storage for such planes do not exist. 
Also aviation training, certification and control over amateur pilots
and personnel have not been created.

        Without the infrastructure of law to regulate business and
private aviation activity, the development of land and air exploitation,
light aircraft of foreign manufacture will experience serious
difficulties in coming to the Ukrainian market, and the development of
local manufacture of light planes will be restricted.

        To rectify the situation the Administrative Business Aviation
project will:
1.  develop legal statutes similar to those in developed countries
2.  maintain air and land exploitation macrosystem structure for light
aircraft, 
3.  develop maintenance facilities and certifications
4.  develop aviation education and training institutes in Ukraine
5.  research development of consumer services, flight routes and
financial services to facilitate execution of this project.

No. 534 Original Complex of Models, Calculation Methods and Programs for
Computer-aided Design of SHF Converters for Radionavigation, Satellite
Communication and TV Applications.

        The necessity for this project has arisen from the lack of
Shottky barrier diodes in superhigh frequency (SHF) (3,000 - 30,000
megacycles) diapason and with complexity of computation programs
operating with the bulky S-matrix and with diode parameters that are
calculated from nonlinear characteristics.  Under these conditions the
existing computer-aided designs are non-effective above 3 GHz.

        The intent of the project is to develop an original complex of
programs to design superhigh converters on the basis of hybrid integral
circuits:  mixers, transponders, modulators, detectors, SHF rectifiers,
satellite communication systems, TV applications, etc.  Topology
calculations using this complex allows the amount of work to be reduced
to 1/10 with improved quality of topologies.

        During development of the new diodes investigation will include
parasitic resonances which can be observed in diode structures within the
frequency bands 15-60 GHz, 40-50 GHz, 30-50 GHz, 30-80 GHz, 100-300 GHz
and which affect the working of the diodes.  It is expected that the new
equivalent diode circuits will be able to work up to 40-100 GHz instead
of 1-2 GHz for available circuits.

No. 540 Automated System for Collecting, Processing, Displaying, and
Storing Data Concerning the Traffic of Aircraft and Specialized
Automobiles in the Areas of Airports.

        The realization of this project will be an automated system of
performance data to meet and match present-day demands.  The advantages
will include:
-  reliable bright images displaying radar-supplied data on current
situation on the airfield;
-  identification of valid signals on take-off strips monitoring
aircraft and vehicles to caution and prevent accidents;
  -combine data from several pertinent sources:  weather, storm,
icing-up, incoming flights, emergency requirements, etc.

        This needed performance is intended to replace existing systems
which are obsolete and depreciated, to improve communication and the
Ukraine economy where current inefficient conditions contribute to
economic loss.

        The personnel are experienced in this field, having developed
radar systems for controlling aircraft.  30 inventors' certificates have
been obtained and about 60 papers published.

No. 542 Study of the Non-Equilibrium Processes in the Silicium
Carbide-based Crystal and Diode Structures Features.

        This study is based on a very solid background of research in
the field of non-equilibrium processes on semi-conductors: 
photoconductivity, injection, breakdown, conductivity, charge carrier
generation and recombination, and their applications.  Specific
applications have been to silicium carbide with sphalerite crystal
structure (3C-SiC).  This binary compound has shown high levels of heat-
and electric-resistance, low oxygen reactivity with high radiation
proof, thermal stability and hardness (9.5 on Moh's Scale), very low
diffusion rates and migration for all main impurities.

        More than 300 polytype forms of SiC are known.  Under chemical
compound stability with the same crystal lattice type there are
different alteration of the same oriented Si and C layers; two layers of
Si and C atoms differently located about one another with the shift
rotation 120, 240, 360 degrees.  Proper nomenclature denoting the
polytype name uses the following:  6H - after 6 layers hexagonal
structure, 3C - after 3 layer cubic structure.  Further, properties
differ:  SiC - 3D has gap energy 2.4 eV, 3.3 eV for SiC-2H, and the same
for edge luminescence colour (emerald-green for SiC-3D hVm-2.285 eV and
violet for SiC-6H hVm-2.985 eV. It is possible to cover all visible
spectrum and provide many colours and shades, including rare blue-violet
spectrum band, red-yellow-blue in light emitting diodes by switching. 
C-Si light emitting diodes are superior in operating characteristics
over GaAs diodes.

        An extensive study structure is outlined to continue exploring
the mysteries of SiC-3C, definitely an important project, with extensive
industrial applications.

No. 579 Laser Microprocessor Systems for Remote Reading and Analysis of
Nonstationary Bar-Code Information.

        To facilitate economic development it is proposed that
stationery and portable laser scanners be developed to assist in
accounting, control, and management of different aspects of the economy
relative to marketing studies, production, and automatic identification
of moving goods.  There are no demonstration models for bar-code
information; no trained and qualified staff to introduce these
technologies; no service and warranty networks for security of such
systems, and no laser systems in Ukraine to operate within the required
framework of -40oC to 50oC, with 90-95% humidity, with controlling
distances 0.2-10 m and speeds up to 90 km/hr.

        It is proposed that a Scientific Information Consulting Centre
of computer technology be established to facilitate and ensure a uniform
approach to introducing information laser technologies and documentation
into Ukraine.
