Preface 

The Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) has developed this booklet as a reference guide for opportunities 

in this country. Similar booklets are being developed for universities, scientific institutes and technology opportunities 

in the five countries that STCU works in, namely, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, Uzbekistan. 

Over the last few years it has become apparent to us that such scientific organizations need to promote their scientific 

skills and opportunities in order to seek partnering opportunities with western investors and western organizations, both 

public and private. This booklet contains one-page capability descriptions of Azerbaijan universities and scientific institutes 

(Institute Profile Forms- IPFs). After each IPF one can find a number of one-page technology profile forms (TPFs). 

More information can be obtained directly from the scientific contacts provided at the universities and institutes. 

As these countries move toward a market-driven economic structure, their scientific institutes and universities will become 

increasingly important as technology drivers that promote the scientific research and technologies that are being developed 

and produced by their scientists. In order to establish business relations with western investors and business people, 

the various scientific communities will need new tools that will enable them to demonstrate their intellectual capital 

in the most productive manner. 

To meet the competitive challenges of integrating into the largely knowledge-based economies of the western world, the 

countries of the former Soviet Union will need to change and adapt. They will need to utilize the forms by which scientific 

communities get their products to the marketplace and through sales acquire wealth and promote healthy economies. 

Licensing, technology transfer and new high technology start-up companies will be some of the necessary steps leading 

to global economic integration. 

An integral and valuable resource for universities, scientists, researchers, and scientific organizations in the West is the 

development of Technology Transfer Offices within their various organizations. The scientific communities in the countries 

of the former Soviet Union are now aware that the kind of services that these Technology Transfer Offices provide 

is very much needed by them also. This booklet of Science Opportunities in Azerbaijan is a way to address this need. 

We want to thank the scientific organizations that have prepared the original profiles of their scientific expertise and their 

technology opportunities. It must be noted that in translating from one language into another exact correlations are not 

always possible; stylistic, cultural, business and legal discrepancies do occur. 

Good luck with your scientific developments, and may this booklet help to promote the scientific opportunities that exist 

in Azerbaijan, as it moves toward a global, market-driven knowledge economy.

in Ukraine – STCU 

STCU is an intergovernmental organization whose mission is the non-proliferation of knowledge and expertise in weapons 

of mass destruction. STCU is headquartered in Ukraine and works in 5 countries, namely, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, 

Ukraine and Uzbekistan. We support the scientists of the Former Soviet Union in their transition from building weaponry 

to redirecting their scientific skills to peaceful research in the civilian, government and private sectors. We encourage their 

participation, interaction and collaboration with western scientific and business communities. We have many scientific 

projects which were sponsored with the financial support of STCU’s Governing Parties from the US, EU and Canada.

Description 

Solution of a number of issues like lithologic section partitioning 

rock porosity estimation, collectors saturation assessment, 

core recovery interval determination, abnormally 

high pore pressure intervals prediction, pore pressure gradient 

and hydro-rupture calculation, physical-mechanical 

rocks properties assessment, boring heads choice, rational 

drilling regime provision, assessment of boring head lifetime 

while drilling, well’s construction and drilling agent parameters 

determination is possible when there is available 

an accurate geology-technological data acquisition. It is 

very important when it deals with complex conditions during 

exploration works, deep drilling in hard-to-reach areas 

as well as marine sites. The worked out algorithm enables 

to make an operative assessment of geological, technological 

and other section characteristics. 


Program complex “System of geology-technological drilling 

prediction” allows estimating geological parameters (lithology, 

porosity, permeability, solidity etc.). Calculations are 

based on methods of d-exponents; equilibrium d-exponents 

(d0); sigma-logging; pore pressure gradient by d-exponent; 

pore pressure gradient by sigma-logging; porosity by 

sigma-logging taking into account rocks clayiness; poisson's 

ratio; hydro-rupture gradient, required drilling agent 

density; intensity of mechanical speed decrease in time. 

Program can be used for different complexes of deposits 

(terrigene, carbonate and mixed types). 


This product can be used during: 

• Assessment of physical-mechanical rock properties 

and solution of technological issues when drilling production 

and exploratory wells; 

• Solution of geological tasks (assessment of lithology, 

filter-capacitive properties, mechanical properties, 

pore pressures and hydro-rupture pressures);

DSL Composition – Increase of Oil Recovery 

System 

Description 

At present there is a decrease of produced oil resources 

structure. A significant growth of oil deposits both onshore 

and offshore transferring to a late production stage is observed. 

In the oil resources structure the most part is falling 

to the share of heavy-recoverable reserves. As the oil fields 

production practice showed about 70 % of heavy-recoverable 

oil is contained in low-permeable, stagnant zones and 

30% - in capillary-confined and film oil. As a result of it, 

there is a necessity in the development and creation of new 

technologies increasing scope of deposits with heavy-recoverable 

resources and simultaneous increase of oil recovery 

oil. Growth of hydrocarbon production depends 

upon waterflood system improvement that becomes possible 

when applying physical-chemical, thermal methods 

and other oil recovery increase. Each of the above-mentioned 

methods influences on one of the factors (high oil 

viscosity and interphase tension at the oil-water border) decreasing 

oil recovery ratio. In this connection it is necessary 

to create method which will simultaneously impact on 

several factors decreasing efficiency of oil recovery. The 

suggested DSL system increases oil recovery and unlike 

other systems is economically profitable. 


The essence of the process deals with the use of composition 

allowing to significantly decreasing interphase tension 

between oil-water, increase angle of contact of 

selective rock’s wetting as well as decrease oil viscosity 

that will lead to oil volume decrease in blocked water in 

pores and residual oil-saturation as compared to traditionally 

applied methods. Outwardly, composition represents a 

liquid of a dark-brown color easily-soluble in the water. Average 

molecular mass is 256.. Application of the given composition 

is possible in wide range of oil densities varying 

from a light (ρ < 870 kg/m 3 ) to heavy (ρ > 920 kg/m 3 ). DSL 

composition can be used in combination with polymer 

flooding. DSL solution impacts on rheological oil characteristics 

that positively influences on oil displacement 

process.

Description 

Under natural conditions the rock skeleton is subjected to 

deformation under simultaneous influence of rock, formation 

(pore pressure) pressures and temperature. As a result 

of reaction and influence efficiency with depth of each indicted 

thermobaric factors and lithological rock composition 

one can observe consolidation and decompression. 

Under conditions of uniform compression during rock deformation, 

rock’s consolidation limit is resulted by rock 

skeleton’s micro-deformation. At the same time rock decompression 

is excluded due to lack of counteracting 

forces. The most difficult and at the same time useful from 

the practical point of view is the process related to rocks 

deconsolidation followed by development of secondary 

processes i.e. pore space volume increase. High-pressure 

and temperature experimental facilities with interpore pressures 

and testing techniques were elaborated and designed 

in order to study these complicated and important 

processes. 


Experimental facility enables to determine rocks, collectors 

and clays properties providing creation of separate and simultaneous 

geostatic pressure (500 MPа), pore pressure – 

to 200 МPа and temperature 200˚ – 300˚С at depth 15 – 20 

km. This facility allows to create: 

• External pressure -500 МPа; 

• Interpore pressure - 200 МPа; 

• Temperature- 250˚ – 300˚ С˚; 

• Separate and simultaneous pressure and temperature 

impact; 

• Simultaneous measuring of several physical parameters 

in case of rocks saturation with different fluids; 

• Pore liquid substitution with other fluids under different 

thermodynamic conditions. 


The results of elaborations can be used when estimating filtration-capacitive 

and collector rock properties. 

This equipment can be used in: 

• Reserves estimation;

Forecast Technology of the Productivity 

of Rock Bed Saturated by Oil and Gas 

Description 

The proposed technology is based on the methodology of 

integrated investigations what suppose to be used in developing 

and introducing some new methods to define and 

predict the parameters of productive level of reservoir oiland 

gas-saturated rocks in nature at great depths. So that 

seismic exploration and prospecting, development and estimation 

of deeper oil and gas deposits would be of more 

effectiveness. 

This technology needs to setting up a database of physicalmechanical, 

petrophysical and reservoir properties of geological 

environment. All these issues will be directly applied 

to the seismic exploration and prospecting of treasures of 

the earth (especially hydrocarbon accumulations), to the 

planning of deposits development, oil and gas production, 

to the geological modeling and estimation of hydrocarbon 

accumulations. 


The advantages of proposed technology in comparison 

with the other present-day technologies are as follows, 

namely this technology: 

1. Allows to compose the three-dimensional geological 

modeling of high accuracy instead of a mere putting together 

of some plane sections, as it is usually done; 

2. Enables one to set up the database of physical-mechanical, 

petrophysical and filter-capacity (reservoir) properties 

for rocks and layers before borehole drillings; 

3. Can be readily applied to develop even more powerful 

software to process and interpret the results obtained with 

multi-component technologies, both field seismic and borehole 

data; 

4. Can assist in solving the problems of seismic anisotropy 

with more efficiency and reliability, in researching its nature 

and the stress sources of the Earth's at various depths. 


Technology can be readily used in locating boreholes, in 

defining the operating procedures and parameters of 

drilling, investments, etc. The method can be helpful for

Description 

There have been worked out the technologies on us-ing of the 

negative pressure phenomenon for increas-ing the efficiency 

of oil producing at different well operation methods, cleaning 

of oil producing and transportation hydraulic systems (well 

bore, pipeline) from various accumulations. 

The negative pressure is one of metastable states of liquid in 

which it can be extended up to a certain limit without a gap of 

continuity. There are numerous results of experimental works, 

mainly of American scientists, in which by providing high degree 

of purity of a system “liquid-vessel”, there have been 

reached great values of negative pressure (up to -40MPa) in 

laboratory conditions. However, these results of the experimental 

works have not been practically imple-mented, as real 

liquids in the Nature and technologi-cal processes are multicomponent, 

“dirty” systems. 

On the basis of use of certain kinetic and hydraulic factors we 

for the first time succeeded to receive experimentally a wave of 

negative pressure in real liq-uids, as a crude oil, water, solutions, 

etc. The wave of negative pressure is a turned soliton 

wave with one hump that is negative. It is a rather conservative 

wave, which mainly keeps its shape and dimensions reaching 

long distances with an acoustic sound velocity. The technology 

provides generation negative pressure waves in the well using 

the special mecha-nisms that leads to the shock depression impact, 

and as a result, to considerable growth in the oil influx, 

bottom-hole cleaning, accompanied by essential saving both 

reservoir and lifting energies, elimination and prevention of 

sandy bridging, paraffin, silt, water, etc. accumulations. 

For implementations of these technologies corresponding installations 

have been elaborated, in part, equipments for 

cleaning out of oil holes from sand plugs, increasing of efficiency 

and effectiveness of gas-lift well operations and bottom-hole 

pumping. 


Elaborated technologies are based on idea of genera-tion of 

negative pressure waves in real hydraulic systems which gives 

possibility to create the principally new energy saving technology 

and convenient installations to increase effectiveness 

and efficiency of different oil production and transportation 

processes. 

The technologies are more advantageous than existing ones. 

For example, in cleaning out of oil-holes from sand plugs the

most operative and effective liquidation of different sand plugs 

irrespective of their rheological character is provided, associated 

with completed bottom-hole cleaning, essential increase 

of oil recovery and overhaul period. Elaborated equipment is 

simple and easy to use. 

Other comparatively advantageous application of our technology 

provides increase of efficiency of a gas-lift well operation, 

expressed in considerable reduction of a specific gas consumption 

associated with essential increase of oil recovery and overhaul 

period. Based on a simple mechanism it is easy to use. 


Granular foamglass is a very good filler of the concrete structures, 

which gives them a lightness, and good thermal properties. 

It is used in the construction of industrial and civil 

buildings as well as in rural construction. 


Some applications of the technology are completely developed 

and have passed broad tests in field conditions as a 

result of which effectiveness and efficiency of oil well operations 

(gas-lift, rod pumping) were considerably in-creased, 

sand plugs of different heights and origin have been eliminated 

operatively and high effectively. 

There are other applications that are on either conceptual idea 

or completed lab tests stages.

Method of Definition of the Linear Physical- 

Mechanical Properties of the Geological 

Media in Their Natural State 

Description 

The technology of definition of true values of the fundamental 

elastic moduluses of the linear elasticity (Lamé coefficients 

λ and μ, or, that is the same, the Poisson 

coefficient ν and Е module) of the rocks and geological 

media in their natural states has been de-veloped. 


For the first time the method has been developed that allows 

more precisely and truly determine the true values of 

fundamental elastic moduluses of the linear elasticity of the 

rocks and geological media in their natural states, i.e. taking 

unto account their modern geodynamic evolution. This 

method operates on the base of field and well seismic data. 

The existing and widely used (mainly in oil companies) 

modern methods (analogues) are based on the linear theory 

of elasticity and elastic waves and allow determine only 

the effective (“apparent”) values of the required parameters. 

The proposed method is based on a more substanti-ated 

and precise non-classically-linearized theory (NLT) of the 

deformed hard materials and elastic waves and allows 

defining the true values of those parameters on the base of 

information on velocity of longitudinal and transverse seismic 

waves, non-linear elastic deformations and pressures. 


The method can be used in seismic surveys, geophysical 

and geological surveys of oil companies; seismology; engineering 

geophysics and geology; scientific investigations 

and education as well. 


Algorithm of method and appropriate computer pack-age 

program has been prepared. The interface of the computer 

program for usage is being worked out at present. European 

patent for method is in process. 

The fundamental properties of material, including the Poisson 

coefficient, should be invariant relatively to the level 

and type of acting external loads and for all natural and ar-

leaching processes the requirement metals from various 

types of ores with the analytical control in a real-time mode. 

The system allows definite ore objects the more optimal 

and ecologically harmless leaching modes, both for conditions

The leaching technology can be suggested for 

selective extraction of some metals or for complex extraction 

of metals group with their further separation by hydrometallurgical 

methods. 

Results of technological development can be used for mining

Novelty of experimental modeling system is in its universality 

and possibility adaptation to any type and kind of ore 

fields. Due to the fact that each deposit in terms of its geology-morphological, 

mineralogy-geochemical and other 

parameters, the technology for leaching for each field is of 

specific and individual nature.

Description 

A modified technique for the growth of Ge-rich Ge-Si single 

crystals is developed on the basis of the vertical Bridgman 

method using a Ge seed and a Si source rod. Single crystals 

were grown in two stages (Fig.1.). In the first stage, a 

Si source rod was partially immersed in the Ge melt above 

the seed. A gradual increase in the Si content in the melt 

leads to constitutional supercooling at the crystallization 

front and to the growth of an inhomogeneous Ge-Si buffer 

single crystal. The first stage ends when the temperature at 

the crystallization front becomes equal to the liquid’s temperature 

of the specified composition of the Ge-Si system. 

In the second stage, a homogeneous Ge-Si single crystal 

is grown while maintaining a constant growth temperature. 

The growth temperature is controlled by an appropriate balance 

between the pulling and feeding rates. Relations determining 

the optimal process parameters (the pulling and 

feeding rates and the temperature gradient at the crystallization 

front) for growing crystals of specified composition 

are obtained. 


Growth of Ge-Si single crystals with desired graded and 

uniform compositions without using adequate solid solutions

The potential application include optoelectronic devices, 

thermoelectric power generation, intrinsic and extrinsic 

photo detectors, solar cells, substrate for epitaxial growth 

techniques. 


Laboratory tested technology for preparation of uniform Ge- 

Si single crystals with silicon content up to 15 %.

Creation of γ -Detectors on CuGaSe 2- Based 

Sensitive Materials 

Description 

CuGaSe2 semiconductive compound have been grown by 

gas transport reaction method. Crystalline iodine is used 

as a transporter. Obtained single crystals are p-type conductivity, 

resistivity is ρ=102÷103 Ohm*cm at 300 K. 

Obtained single crystals take the form of trihedral prisms 

with the most developed mirror plane (1 2). To carry the experiments 

single crystals have been ground by the dusts 

N30, N10, N7, then glazed with diamond pastas. To refine 

the surface, the samples have been dipped in ethanol. 

Then the contacts of In-Ga eutectic were plotted on samples. 

Distance between the contacts is 1мм. Dependence 

of resistivity with γ-radiation doze have been also investigated. 

Samples have been radiated by Co60 isotopes in 

MPX-Y-25. 


Preliminary investigations show that the working range of 

CuGaSe 2 is 35-102 R/s. Specific resistance has been 

changed by four orders in this range (economically sound).

Description 

The method of phase separation was used for development 

of novel small particles-liquid crystalline composites displaying 

network formation. Composites have been created 

by variation of type and concentration of liquid crystal (LC) 

and polymer, and also regime of mixing and cooling. The 

following materials are used for development of liquid crystalline 

composites: liquid crystals 4-pentylcyano-4'-biphenyl 

(5CB); liquid crystal 4-methoxybenzilidene - 4' – butylaniline 

(MBBA); liquid crystal 4-ethoxybenzilidene-4'butylaniline 

(EBBA); the mixture of MBBA and EBBA with 

molar ratio of 1:1 ( H-37) and 2:1 (H-8); polymer poly(2methyl-5-vinylprydine)(PMVP); 

polymer poly(ethyleneglycol) 

(PEG); polymer poly(vinylalcohol (PVA); the stabilizer 

heptixybenzoic acid (HOBA). 

The kinetics of network formation has been investigated by 

the methods of polarized microscopy and small-angle scattering 

of laser radiation through obtained composites 5CB 

+ PEG + HOBA and H-37+PVMP + HOBA in which the matrix 

of the first composite has positive optical anisotropy and 

the matrix of the second one – negative. 

Threshold voltages of homeotropic-planar transition and 

the elctrohydrodynamic instability, times of switching on 

and switching off for these effects, and also volt-contrast 

characteristics of these composites have been determined. 

It is shown that the network is formed at some critical concentration: 

it equals to 7% for the H-37+PVMP + HOBA 

system while for the 5CB + PEG + HOBA composite – 9%. 

At that case, temperature of isotropic-nematic transition is 

shifted to low temperatures for the H-37+PVMP + HOBA 

composite while it remains constant for the 5CB + PEG + 

HOBA composite. The threshold voltages of homeotropicnematic 

transition and the electrohydrodynamic instability 

increase, contrast ratios are worsen, the rise time remains 

constant while the decay time decreases in the H- 

37+PVMP + HOBA composite. The threshold voltages of 

the homeotropic-nematic transition increases, the electrohidrodynamic 

instability does not change, contrast ratios 

are worsen, the rise and decay times decreases in the 5CB 

+ PEG + HOBA composite.

Creation of Thermostable Tenzoresistors on 

the Base of GaSb-FeGa 1.3, and GaSb-CîGa 1.3 

Eutectic Composites 

Description 

Semiconductor GaSb was made by alloying and refining it 

by the method of horizontal recrystallization. Additionally, 

GaSb-FeGa1.3 and GaSb-CоGa1.3 eutectic alloys were prepared 

by alloying of GaSb with Fe and Co, respectively, 

using the vertical Bridgman method. To avoid ampoule vibration 

that may disturb the solid-melt interface, the prepared 

sample was kept motionless with the movement of 

the freezing interface accomplished by lifting the furnace. 

The solidified interfaces were planar and oriented perpendicular 

to the transport direction on all ingot sections. The 

solidification rate was set to about 1mm/min. Employing 

this technique, the structure with needle-shaped metallic 

FeGa1.3 and CоGa1.3 phase parallel oriented in a specific 

direction and uniformly distributed within the GaSb matrix 

was obtained. The oriented needles were found to be about 

1 μm and 0.5 μm in diameter, 20-150 μm and 10-20μm in 

length and with ∼3,3х104mm-2 and 20х104mm-2 density for 

inclusions FeGa1.3 and CоGa1.3, respectively. A PhilipsTM FEG scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed 

to characterize the microstructure of the alloys. An energy 

dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) model EDAXTM was 

used to obtain quantitative information about the elemental 

composition in the matrix, the metal inclusions and the interphase 

zone of the samples. 

From the grown crystals tenzoresistor elements with the 

sizes of 7x0,08x0,2 mm3 were prepared. 

Some characteristics of these composites may be adjustable 

with change in the size and density of the metallic 

inclusions that may be controlled during alloy preparation. 

These are important for their use as sensing elements in 

optical polarizers, detectors of infrared radiation, tenzoresistors 

and so forth. 


Preliminary studies has been showed that the tensorezistors 

with linear, thermostable and unhysteresis characteristics 

on the base these eutectic composites were obtained; 

the temperature coefficient of strain sensitivity factor for 

GaSb-CoGa1.3 tenzoresistors was an order less in 

comparison with the GaSb-FeGa 1.3 tenzoresistors.

Obtaining of the Charged Nanoparticles by 

Means of the Point Ion Source 

Description 

The means of disperse phase of the point ion source have 

been used for obtaining of the charged nanoparticles. The 

source represents the compact graphite container with the 

working matter inside of which a thin high-melting point is 

bulged out. The smelt matter wets a surface of point. Sizes 

of generated nanodroplets determined by means of electron 

and AFM microscopes compose continuous spectrum 

from 2 nm up to 20 nm. The number of particles of least 

size on three orders of magnitude exceeds number of particles 

of the greatest size. The In, Sn, NiAlB have been 

used as working matters at carrying out of our experiments. 

It is possible the creation of various surface quantum structures 

by means of these nanoparticles. Energy of the 

charged nanoparticles can be regulated by means of an 

electric field. Nanoparticles of intrinsic semiconductors and 

their compounds can be obtained in the modified design of 

a source with a porous point. 


Nanoparticles are obtained in a ready kind; it is not necessary 

to spend a long time to form them; speeds and trajectories 

of particles are manageable; it is possible the 

separation of particles in the sizes by means of the massanalyzer. 

It is also possible an arrangement of nanoparticles 

on required coordinates of the substrate’s surface by 

means of probe manipulator after their deposition.

Development of New Elements of 

Optoelectronics on the Basis 

of Layered Semiconductors 

Description 

There are developed laboratory technologies of manufacturing 

of the barrier structures which are suitable for use in 

the devices of nonlinear optics and photoelectronics. In particular, 

the development of the electric-field controlled modulator 

on the basis of Cu-GaSe-Al structure for modulation 

of reflected of the He-Ne laser radiation as well as the modulator 

on the basis of Cu-GaSe-ITO for modulation of transmitted 

light of laser radiation have been realized. Operation 

of such modulators is based on shifting of edge of the optical 

absorption due to only Frantz-Keldysh effect at minimization 

of the contribution due to Joule heating. Also the 

development of a high-speed attenuator on the basis of 

InSe of laser radiation on a wave-length 1.06 microns 

(YAG:Nd +3 the laser) operating on joint contribution of the 

Frantz-Keldysh effect and the Joule heating on shift of edge 

of the optical absorption is carried out. It is shown that the 

sharp raise of the photocurrent is observed at reverse bias 

in Cu-GaSe-ITO structure in short-wave range of spectrum, 

which on five orders exceed value of photocurrent at zero 

bias due to cumulative ionization of charge carriers in the 

range of spatial charge. The raised photosensitivity of such 

structure extending in ultraviolet range gives occasion to 

making of effective detector UF of radiation. It is shown also 

that controlling by the technological process of growth of 

layered crystals GaSe it is possible to use their disordering 

of the layers grouped similarly to a prism for manufacturing 

the positional deflectors of radiation. 


The practical absence of the broken bonds and smooth surface 

obtained by easy splitting of layers makes maximally 

simplify of producing technology of creation of the surfacebarrier 

and MIS-structures on the basis of InSe, GaSe layered 

semiconductors. Use of layered materials at creation 

of photodetectors of visible and ultra-violet ranges of spectrum 

allows reaching the certain advantage in comparison 

with silicon photodetectors on parameters of the photosensivity, 

the thermo-stability and the radiating resistance.

Adsorbents for Separation Impurities from 

the Wastewater of Polymeric Enterprises 

Description 

The basic regularities and physical mechanisms of activation 

porous synthetic and natural adsorbents by means of 

no equilibrium electric discharges are revealed. Influence of 

electric discharges (barrier, torch or corona types) on adsorption 

process is one of process control facilities. The 

reason of increase adsorption abilities of adsorbents 

(clynoptylolite, bentonite clay, zeolite, silicagel) is formation 

of the charged condition on a surface or in volume of a material 

under influence of an electric field and the discharge. 

Efficiency of the electric discharge effect on sorption 

processes is determined by an opportunity of direct interference 

in sorption process proceeding, small power consumption, 

economy and manufacturability. 


The opportunity and perspectives of electrodischarge activation 

the natural and synthetic porous structures for increasing 

its adsorption properties are established. It is 

revealed, that at effect of electric discharges in air on a surface 

of porous adsorbents the formation of a charged condition 

in a material that leads to essential growth of 

adsorbents’ adsorption properties is observed. 

Areas of Application: 

Adsorption clearing of wastewater including from the ecologically 

harmful impurities.

Description 

The main absorber of frequency-dependent resistor, which 

is ferromagnetic sheath, has the component the permeability 

of which has the maximum 0,1-20MHz interval. As a 

result of this the skin-effect depth in this region strongly decreases 

leading to the strong increase of resistor resistance 

in this frequency region and the decrease of 

high-frequency current (over-voltage) component. The ferrite, 

which is used in radio engineering industry for contour 

frequency tuning and etc., is chosen in the capacity of ferromagnetic 

component. The theoretic model describing the 

carrying out of electromagnetic processes and functioning 

of resistor sheath has been formed. The production technique 

of ferromagnetic sheath formation has been developed 

and frequency-dependent resistor has been created.

Thin film CdS/CdTe heterojunction devices have been prepared 

by low-temperature vacuum deposition method. For 

the device fabrication CdS films of about 90nm and CdTe 

films of about 5.0 µm thick were subsequently evaporated 

onto bilayer SnO2 coated Corning 7059 glass substrates. 

High purity CdS and CdTe powders were used as a source 

material. Temperature of the substrates was hold at 218K 

during the evaporation process. The growth rate was controlled 

by keeping the source temperature within the range 

of 600-6500C and was about 1.5 nm/s. 

CdCl2 treatment was carried out using “dry” method where 

the samples were exposed to CdCl2 vapor at 4000C for 5- 

7 min. in vacuum chamber in the presence of 100 torr oxygen 

and 400 torr helium (total pressure was 500 torr). Then 

the samples were etched in HNO3:H3PO4:H2O mixture (NP 

etch) in order to convert the CdTe surface to elemental tellurium. 

For the back contact fabrication the special mixture 

of graphite paste, CuxTe, and HgTe was deposited and the 

samples were annealed at 2600C for 25 min. in the presence 

of inert gas. Silver paste back face electrode was next 

deposited and the samples were annealed at 1000C in air 

to complete the devices. 


Low-temperature evaporation method of CdS and CdTe 

thin films was found to be one of the successful ways for 

high efficiency solar cell application. Nearly the same grain 

sizes and surface morphologies as well as high density of 

the films provide an optimum intermixing of the components 

favoring the formation of junction with low concentration 

of interface states. As a result the high efficiency 

solar cells with conversion efficiency up to 14 % were fabricated. 

Our preliminary studies show the possibility of further 

optimization of the manufacturing technology of 

CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells by varying physical properties 

of the device components to achieve maximum efficiency.

Description 

The aim of this work is the creation of new heterostructures 

consisting of silicon and thin wideband polymer films, and 

also experimental study of mechanisms of conduction and 

transport of carriers in them. 

Scientific interest in the study of thin films based on different 

polymers, is increasing from year to year. This is due to 

the fact that in some thin films of polymers there is a transition 

from a dielectric state into high-conductivity, which 

can be implemented by physical effects such as electric 

field, temperature, a small uniaxial pressure, etc. Light-sensitive 

polymer semiconductors through the combination 

photoconductor properties of thermal, mechanical and 

other specific properties of polymers have become indispensable 

in the creation of flexible photovoltaic elements 

for solar energy converters. 


Developed and created a new type of heterostructures 

based on silicon and wideband polymers.

and electrochemical transducers, polymer batteries, electroluminescent 

devices, Schottky diodes and organic transistors.

Translucence Coverings for Thermal 

Receivers and Converters 

of Electromagnetic Radiation 

Description 

By theoretical researches of characteristics of reflection of 

electromagnetic radiation of two- and three-layer flat systems 

containing in the structure absorbing dielectric substrate 

from one - or two coverings translucent it from not 

absorbing material, there is established that in the field of 

a dispersion of waves of substance of a substrate there are 

selective values of a thickness of a layer of coverings and 

frequency of falling radiation at which reflection of radiation 

from such systems is absent. The equations which define 

conditions and a frequency strip of full absorption of falling 

radiation of such system are received. At given values of 

frequency of falling radiation and corresponding optical 

properties of substances of a substrate and coverings, they 

allow to calculate optimum sizes of a thickness of layers of 

coverings. The possibility of such full, non-reflective absorption 

of electromagnetic radiation remains also at its 

falling at an angle on two-layer system. So, at falling of the 

cross-section-polarised component of radiation (S-wave) 

full absorption arises at selective values of a thickness of a 

coat layer and wave falling of translucence angle. In a case 

of falling of the in parallel-polarised component of radiation 

(P-wave) full absorption arises already at two selective values 

of a thickness of a coat layer and two falling angles of 

a wave: translucence angle and at angle, to a similar corner 

of Brjuster for transparent environments.

layer and an interval of lengths of waves Δλ of a strip of an

Action of High Electrical Fields 

on Dielectric Mediums 

Description 

1. Research of influence of nonequilibrium discharges on 

the composite materials surface and its components: 

There are used the semiconducting (coal plastic, coal plastic 

with glass fabric sublayer) and dielectric (glass fibres, 

glass-fibre plastic) composite materials. It is elaborated an 

air reactor of torch discharge on DC (direct voltage) and 

AC (alternating voltage) for electric discharge modification 

of the surface of coal plastic and coal plastic with glass fabric 

sublayer. As a result of that modification the rising of surface 

energy and work adhesion of materials with respect 

to coating is observed. Reactor of torch discharge on 28-32 

kV is worked. It is used a system electrodes “rod-plane”. 

It is elaborated a unit from air reactors of torch and barrier 

discharges for complex treatment of the surface of glass fibres 

for rising of work adhesion on interphase boundary 

“glass fibre-epoxy resin”. Reactor of torch discharge consists 

of 2 torch modules, placed opposite to each other 

(electrode system “rod-rod”). Reactor works on 30 rV. Reactor 

of barrier discharge by asymmetrical scheme “wireangle 

bar” is made up. Reactor works on 10 rV. Firstly, bundle 

of glass fibres enters on torch discharge zone, then on 

barrier discharge zone and finally into tank with epoxy 

resin. After moistening by epoxy the glass fibres directs to 

draw plate for polymerization. 

2. Research of pulsed short front discharges characteristics 

in solid air (1-5 atm) and in liquid: 

The experimental assembly consists of high voltage 

nanosecond pulsed generator by amplitude 40-150 kV, 

vacuum chamber with different electrode systems (“rodcopperplate”, 

“rod-metal grid”, “ball-plane”), different constructions 

of potential electrode with use of dielectric caps. 

There are investigations of nanosecond pulsed discharges 

on big overvoltages, detection of factors, influented on 

characteristics of pulsed discharges; explosive processes 

on cathode and X-radiation of runaway electrons near cathode 

and anode; pulsed short front discharges characteristics 

in water by different electroconductivities for solving of 

important ecology tasks.

is elaborated. It has the visible advantages in comparison 

with mechanical, chemical and thermal modification. The 

main role on rise of surface energy belongs to charging of 

components and formation of polar groups in surface layer. 

2. The mechanism which describes formation of the nonclassical 

form of discharge in overstrained gas gap with 

high energy electrons is elaborated.

with respect to coating that is efficiently used in 

production technology of the space mirrors, satellite antennas.

New Anti – Stokes Luminophors and Laser Mediums 

on the Base of II-III 2 - VI 4 Typed Wide-Band Chalcogenide 

Semiconductors Doped by Rare-Earth Elements 

Description 

Traditional investigations, synthesis and use of anti – 

Stokes luminophors (ASL) have an objective to visualize 

IR-radiation, i.e. IR-signal conversion into visible band 

(0.38÷0.76mkm). Recently there have been created systems 

of length fiber optic communication lines where data 

carrier is the radiation with wavelength about 1.55 mkm. 

There have been developed lasers on the base of erbium 

glasses with wavelength of generation 1.54÷1.65 mkm. 

Therefore activation of wide-band semiconductive compounds 

EuGa 2S 4 and YbGa 2S 4 by 4f-elements, study of impurity 

state and behavior is one of the central issues of 

physics and material science of semiconductors as a 

whole. 

Nowadays complex rare – earth compounds of MIM II 

2 X4VI (MI -Eu, Yl,Sm; MII-Ga,In; X VI 

4 - S,Se) – typed take a special 

place among wide - band semiconductors. 

MIM II 

2 X4VI - typed crystals have been crystallized in rhombic 

singony, they are high – resistance (105 ÷10IIOhm/cm), wide-band (~4.4eV) semiconductors and show particularly 

pronounced luminescent and photoconductive properties. 

In according with above- mentioned it is of interest spectroscopic 

investigation of 4f-elements in Eu (Yb) Ga2S4 crystals. 

There has been developed technology of II-III2 - IV2 (II-Eu, 

Yb,Sm,Ca, Sr,Ba; III-Ga,Al;VI-S,Se,O) - typed semiconductors 

activated by rare-earth ions. 


Production of effective devices for visualization and illumination, 

being able to compete with traditional systems requires 

to manufacture luminophors with specific properties. 

This necessity promotes development of new materials and 

optimization of existing luminophors. İn this aspect perspective 

ones are ternary alkali-earth chalcogenide semiconductors 

of II-III 2 - IV 2 (II-Eu, Yb,Sm,Ca, Sr,Ba; 

III-Ga,Al;VI-S,Se,O) – typed activated by rare-earth ions. 

One of the qualities of ternary compounds comparing 

favourably with binary one as regards applied use is the resistance 

to hydrolysis and good implantation of rare-earth 

ions into crystal lattice. High linearity of cathode luminescence 

at high densities of current makes them suitable for 

use as a luminophor in TV and field ionization displays. Se-

Scintillation Detectors 

Description 

Surface-barrier structures were created by vacuum deposition 

of thin gold films on the freshly cleaved surface of 

InSe. Ohmic contacts were deposited on the opposite surface 

of the crystal by a silver paste. The postbaking of such 

contacts in the course of 10 minutes led to reduction of 

transient resistance. 


The suggested detector - avalanche photodiodes of new 

generation allows recording the light of minute intensity. 

They differ from their analogues according to their small 

sizes (the size of the working elements area of 9mm2 ), high 

sensitivity (106-107 V/Vt) and operation speed. The spectral 

region of sensitivity is 200-900 nm, working voltage is 

low-5-10V, threshold of sensitivity is at the level of single 

photons. The method of obtaining differs from the analogue 

according to its simplicity and moderate price.

Radiation-Resistant Frequency 

Strain Converters 

Description 

Due to using universal strain module with n-Ge1-хSiх strain 

resistors tiny sensitive high-frequency gauges were developed 

for measurement of force of pressure of liquids and 

gases in ranges from 0…4⋅104 Pа up to 0…30 МPа. 

The sensitive element of such devices is the electromechanical 

resonator of string type with electrostatic excitation 

of cross-section mechanical fluctuations. The string 

is implemented from strain sensitive threadlike monocrystal 

n-Ge1-хSiх by length 1-5mm, in diameter 8-12mkm and 

is rigidly fixed by the ends of plate or a deformable surface 

(in an elastic element) in the distance 50mkm from it. At increase 

of nuclear percent Si in n-Ge1-хSiх strain sensitivity 

of the gauge increases too. 

Each gauge of pressure is supplied with the amplifier which 

raises resolution, and the device of the coordination with a 

data-acquisition equipment. 

The gauge of pressure is radiation proof in comparison with 

made crystals Ge or Si. 


Development and creation of corresponding gauges air 

possible at using as sensitive elements of strings with physical-mechanical 

properties close to ideal ones, and direct 

transformation of mechanical fluctuations of strings in to an 

electric signal. 

Criterion of obtaining of the highest sensitivity 

(>109Hz/rel.unit deformations of the string converter to the 

measured size) is the opportunity of using of extremely 

short and thin crystals. 

The gauge of pressure contains a monocrystal silicon 

membrane and string strainconverters from a threadlike 

monocrystal n-Ge-Si. Use of the technique when position of 

crystal on the membrane at its deformation by pressure 

corresponds to a free (loose) condition, has allowed to obtain 

the maximal sensitivity while measuring of pulsations 

of pressure. 

In comparison with other string converters used at the present, 

string monocrystal strainconverters allow to provide 

higher sensitivity and accuracy of measurement at minimal 

external dimensions and power consumption.

Balanced Abiyev’s Squares 

Description 

It is known that in a magic square of n th order elements of 

the number set {1, 2, ….., n 2 }in n x n square so that the 

sum of the numbers on any row, column or diagonals 

equals a constant. The magic square called a balanced 

square by Abiyev differs from its analogues according to 

the special arrangement of numbers and symbols. There 

are two invariants of a relative symmetrical displacement 

of their elements which is not included into the squares developed 

till nowadays. These invariants enable the balanced 

squares to be applied in wide fields of science and 

technology. A balanced square by Abiyev is the most perfect 

magic square well-known in mathematics according to 

its unique characteristics. It opens new directions in scientific-research 

and applied problems such as cryptology, 

nanotechnology, town planning, architecture, art, medicine 

(genetics), process optimization, etc. 


A special symmetrical programming of matrices eases the 

calculation in the applied fields of technology. 


The balanced square may be applied in cryptology, encoding 

and decoding of texts and information, developing 

unique signatures and so on.

Antitoxin for Neutralisation of Snake Venom 

Description 

For neutralisation of toxic action of snake venom nonspecific 

means of therapy are offered. For evenomation and 

neutralisation of consequences of an intoxication of a sting 

of venomous snakes, the antitoxin consisting of a mix of 

nonspecific means of therapy in a solution with novocain is 

synthesised. 


Most effective remedies of struggle against consequences 

of a sting of snakes are mono-and polyvalent whey. Repeated 

introductions of whey often cause anaphylactic a 

shock. Novelty in application of new structure of nonspecific 

means in a solution with novocain. Advantages of nonspecific 

antitoxin - simple technology of preparation, cheapness 

of applied components, absence of collateral action. 


Medicine, biology, veterinary science. 


The preparation is covered by the patent of Azerbaijan “Antitoxin 

for neutralisation of toxic action of snake venom” 

#99/001595, I 20020035.
