An asymmetric delta-doped GaAs structure is described which exhibits novel photovoltaic effects and low-intensity nonlinear optics. Of particular interest in this kind of structure is the ability to design the electrooptical and nonlinear optical properties and the material response time over a wide range by appropriate design of the doping profile.

Computer program for simulation of nominal and anomalous operation of Apollo cryogenics storage system
The integrated systems program is capable of simulating both nominal and anomalous operation of the Apollo cryogenics storage system (CSS). Two versions of the program exist; one for the Apollo 14 configuration and the other for J Type Mission configurations. The program consists of two mathematical models which are dynamically coupled. A model of the CSS components and lines determines the oxygen and hydrogen flowrate from each storage tank given the tank pressures and temperatures, and the electrical power subsystem and environmental control subsystem flow demands. Temperatures and pressures throughout the components and lines are also determined. A model of the CSS tankage determines the pressure and temperatures in the tanks given the flowrate from each tank and the thermal environment. The model accounts for tank stretch and includes simplified oxygen tank heater and stratification routines. The program is currently operational on the Univac 1108 computer.
