Elastic vibrations of film field emission cathode due to ponderomotoric forces in the ultrahigh frequency range are considered. Formulas for determination of both resonance and operating frequencies of the cathodes have been obtained. Application of the obtained formulas is shown on an example of chromium film cathode.

(Germany) Sandwich films of Al-SiO,-Al, prepared by evauoration in vacuum, were investigated to test current theories of dielectric breakdown of films.

V-V,O,-Pb Josephson tunnel junctions of high stability. (Germany) Problems of producing and properties of V-V,O,-Pb Josephson tunnel junctions are described. Superconductive vanadium films with thickness between 250 and 5000 A are evaporated on glass substrates at temperatures of 25 to 300°C in vacuum of 5 x lo-’ to 5 x 10m6 torr using a 2 kW electron beam evaporating source. Evaporation of a lower V-stripe conductor of the Josephson tunnel junction happened at a substrate temperature 150°C and an evaporation rate 15 to 20 A/s. Film thickness is 2500 A. During V-evaporation at a total pressure 5.5 x lo-’ torr the partial pressures of the disturbing residual gas components O2 and Nz are reduced to values 4 x lo-* and 5 x lo-* torr, respectively, by additional application of a Meissner cooling trap and a Ti-getter pump. Tunnel barriers with thickness below 30 A were produced by surface oxidation of the Vstripe conductor in an oxygen plasma at oxygen partial pressure of 0.05 to 0.1 torr.

(Germany) The transition fields of Pb-Bi thin films, placed in a transverse field. have been measured. The films were prepared by evaporation under vacuum lo-’ torr of the alloys placed in a Joule-heated crucible.

Synthesis of CdTe epitaxial films. (USSR)
The influence of degree of vapour supersaturation above substrate, epitaxy temperature and evaporation temperature is investigated on morphology, phase composition and perfectness degree of CdTe films, prepared in vacuum of 10e5 torr by condensation on mica in a quasi-closed volume. It is shown that highly oriented CdTe films can be synthetized at relatively low temperatures of epitaxy of 150°C. The described method of evaporation of powder CdTe enables one to prepare epitaxial films of CdTe of cubic and hexagonal modifications. Single crystal CdTe tilms, grown at temperature of evaporation of 550 to 580°C and temperature difference of 30”, consist of grains of crystallites with size above 100 pm.

films.
(USSR) Uniformity of chemical composition and electric properties in thickness of condensed Sb& films with thickness of 1 to 2 pm is investigated. The starting material was prepared by alloying at 700°C of Sb and S in quartz ampoules evacuated to 10e3 torr. The Sb& films have been deposited on glass substrates by thermal evaporation of the starting material from tantalum boats or quartz crucibles. It is found that amorphous Sb& films, prepared by total evaporation of the charge, are enriched by antimony in comparison with the starting material. The excess of Sb may reach 4.3% and it is enhanced in the film region near substrate. Due to variations in chemical composition in the films with thickness also electric properties and the type of conductivity change. Presence of p-n junction in the films results in appearance of photodiode characteristics. D A Sakseev and L G Timofeeva, Neorg Mater, 9 (7), 1973, 11211125 (in Russian). 30 533. Photoconductivity and optical properties of crystals and films of

The films have been prepared by evaporation of polycrystals in vacuum 5 x 10v5 torr on glass substrates kept at 150°C. Evaporation of the starting materials was performed from quartz ampoules heated by tungsten heaters to 850 to 900°C. Thickness of the prepared films was 0.3 to 1.5 pm.
