Photoelectronic properties of zinc phosphide crystals, films and heterojunctions : quarterly progress report no. 6 for the period July 1 - September 30, 1980 /

The purpose of this research program is to investigate the photoelectronic properties of zinc phosphide (Zn₃P₂ in single crystal form, in thin-film form, and in heterojunctions in which Zn₃P₂ forms one of the elements. This research will be directed toward understanding the role of crystalline defects and impurities in Zn₃P₂, the nature of the electronic charge transport in single crystal and thin-film material, and the properties of photovoltaic heterojunctions involving Zn₃P₂. The scope of the program extends from basic investigations of materials properties on single crystals to the preparation and characterization of all-thin-film heterojunction divices. One of the principal motivations behind this research program is the realization that Zn₃P₂ is a relatively uninvestigated yet ideal component for photovoltaic heterojunction use in solar energy conversion. The proposed program will concentrate on the basic materials problems involved with Zn₃P₂, providing the kind of information needed for other more developmental programs directed toward actual practical cells.

A conceptual study of possible collecting systems for use in stratospheric sampling /

Because the use of filters to sample particulate matter suspended in the upper atmosphere has been investigated and has yielded rather disappointing results, an examination of other methods of upper atmospheric sampling is desirable, and this is the aim of the present report. The nature of any radioactive material, and its relation to the size and composition of the suspended particles is of particular interest.

Investigation of driver reactions to tread separation scenarios in the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS).

Decreasing vehicle understeer was strongly associated with the likelihood of control loss following both the unexpected and expected tire failures. Knowledge of the imminent tread separation reduced the overall probability of control loss from 55% to 20% and had a significant effect on how quickly drivers responded as well as on the nature of their initial responses (i.e., steering orbraking). Driver age was marginally associated with increased likelihood of vehicle control loss, but only on unexpected trials. Vehicle speed at the time of first steering input also contributed to the probability of control loss. Neither the location of the tire that failed (left rear vs. right rear) nor the specific instructions about how best to respond to the tread separation influenced the probability of control loss. Differences associated with vehicle understeer conditions observed in the present study were large and consistent, independent of driver expectations and across driver age groups. It is thus fair to conclude that in the event of a complete rear-tire detread, the increased difficulty in vehicle handling and the associated increased likelihood of loss of vehicle control with decreasing vehicle understeer generalize to real-world driving.
