Electronics research at the University of Texas at Austin

This report summarizes progress on projects carried out at the Electronics Research Center at The University of Texas at Austin and which were supported by the Joint Services Electronics Program. In the area of Information Electronics progress is reported for projects involving (1) nonlinear detention and estimation and (2) electronic multi-dimensional signal processing. In the Solid State Electronics area recent findings in (1) interface reactions, instabilities and transport and (2) spectroscopic studies of metal/semiconductor and metal/metal oxide interfaces are described. In the area of Quantum Electronics progress is presented for the following projects: (1) nonlinear wave phenomena, (2) structure and kinetics of excited state molecules and (3) collective effects in nonlinear optical interactions. In the electromagnetics area progress in guidedwave devices for the far-infrared-mm wave spectrum is summarized.
