Abstract: We have found a way to, e.g., substantially increase the number of layers in a pseudomorphic strained layer semiconductor mirror over the number obtainable in an analogous conventional mirror, making it possible to obtain pseudomorphic strained layer mirrors of increased reflectance. Such a pseudomorphic mirror consists of alternating layers of a first and a second semiconductor material (e.g., Ge.sub.x Si.sub.1-x /Si), of thickness t.sub.1 and t.sub.2, and refractive index n.sub.1 and n.sub.2, respectively, with the number of layer pairs chosen such that the mirror thickness is less than or equal to the "critical thickness" L.sub.c. For thicknesses >L.sub.c the mirror will contain dislocations.An article according to the invention comprises a mirror whose layer thicknesses are chosen such that n.sub.1 t.sub.1 .noteq.n.sub.2 t.sub.2, with n.sub.1 t.sub.1 +n.sub.2 t.sub.2 =p.lambda./2, (p being an odd integer, typically 1). In other words, the optical thickness of the layers is not the conventional p.

Abstract: Machine elements formed which overcome the problems associated with rolling bearings or rolling drive units, which, apart from load under rolling are simultaneously exposed to frictional load, which leads in particular zones to frictional wear. In order to keep this to a minimum the invention teaches to apply on the effected surfaces of such structural parts a coating of a friction bearing material, which, however, according to the findings of the invention must be applied with the PVD method and must have a thickness of the order of magnitude of the surface roughness of the base body; known thicker friction bearing coatings are not suitable. The invention is especially for forming gear wheels, rolling bearings, shafts, compressor screws, and rolling pistons.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a microstrip resonator line permitting precise control of line width, edge definition and thickness. On a substrate, there is printed a first conductive layer having a precisely controlled width. This first layer has a thickness less than the desired thickness of the resonator line. Further conductive layers are printed over the first layer to build up to the desired thickness of the resonator line based on skin depth requirement at the frequency of operation. Each of the further conductive layers for building the thickness of the line has a width less than that of the first conductive layer so that resonator line width is controlled by the width of the first layer.

Abstract: A multi-layer composite brazing alloy useful in mine drills for attaching hardened bits, such as tungsten carbide, to bit holders made of steel and the like, comprises two outer layers of a brazing alloy bonded to an inner layer or core of iron or nickel. While a wide variety of brazing alloys are useful as the outer layers, a cost preferred alloy is AMS-4764 (in percent by weight 9.5 Ni - 52.5 Cu - 38.0 Mn) having a melting range of 880.degree.-925.degree. C. This is approximately 40% less than the melting temperature of the iron or nickel core which, therefore, is not susceptible to melting and alloying with the outer layers when the brazing furnace temperature fluctuates during the brazing operation. On cooling, the ductile iron or nickel core absorbs stresses due to dissimilar thermal expansion coefficients of the carbide tip and the holder and prevents cracking of the joint.
