Indian Ocean and the Intraseasonal Oscillation
Abstract
ABSTRACT PI: Mina Rais-Zadeh Program Manager(s): Dr. Paul Maki (ONR Young Investigator Award PM), Dr. Ignacio Perez ONR Division: Electronics, Sensors and Networks Research (312) We propose to acquire the hardware needed for measuring acoustic, thermal, and electrical properties of materials and devices. The requested instrument is a temperature and pressure controlled cryogenic probe station accommodating a full 4-inch wafer (FWPX) with 6 micro-manipulated stages from Lake Shore Cryotronics. This system together with the vacuum pump that is being requested as well as the existing vector network analyzer, infrared (IR) measurement tool, and phase noise analyzer in the PI’s lab will comprise a system for the characterization of materials at wide range of frequencies (300 kHz to 40 GHz), temperatures (4.5 K to 475 K), pressures (atmosphere to 10-8 Torr), and when exposed to IR radiation (SWIR to LWIR). The proposed instrumentation will enable new research capability in the area of acoustic phonon traps and ultimately acoustic metamaterials (engineered materials and devices that possess tailored acoustic properties) at the University of Michigan. It is of significant interest to the DoD for a variety of defense-related applications including acoustic materials used for high-resolution imaging devices, sonar and wireless communications, THz to IR detection, high-efficiency sea-based AESAs, and high-performance electronic warfare used in large navy shipboards. This equipment will allow graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to experimentally characterize, optimize and verify, at a wide range of operation condition, the performance of acoustic phonon traps developed at the University of Michigan and collaborating institutions. Specifically, the phonon trap characterization system will be used to optimize and experimentally verify the stiffness values and their temperature dependence, anisotropic coefficients of thermal expansion, and piezoelectric coefficients of newly developed phonon traps in gallium nitride, aluminum nitride, and silicon.
