This paper shows the parameters to affect the critical characteristic of YBaCuO superconducting bulk fabricated by MPMG (Melt Powdered Melt Growth)process. In order to investigate proper processing variables, the effect of the holding time at the melting temperature and that of the slow cooling time in $O_2\; ambient\; on\; the\; J_c$ were experimented. And then with the above obtained heat treatment conditions, the effects of addition of $Y_2BaCuO_5\; and\; Ag\; on\; the\; J_c$ were also investigated. A proper slow cooling time yields phase transformation from Tetragonal $(YBa_2Cu_3O_6)$ to Orthorhombic $(YBa_2Cu_3O_7)$ during an annealing time in $O_2$. Ag addition plays a role in increasing the $T_c\; and\; the J_c$, but the magnetization decreases. The $J_c$ and the magnetization increase with addition of Y211. $J_c$ of the sample added Ag 10wt% is superiorover 3000 G. Proper holding time, slow cooling time and amount of impurity addition are important parameters in fabricating the YBaCuO bulk by MPMG process with high $J_c$.

Temperature dependence of effective ionization coefficients in GaAs is formulated as a single polynomial function of temperature, which allows analytical expressions for breakdown voltage of GaAs $p^+n$ junctions as a function of temperature. At 300 K, extracted effective ionization coefficient of GaAs $p^+n$ junction especially agrees well with the published result of <111> oriented GaAs. The analytic results agree with the simulation as well as the experimental ones reported within 10% in error for the doping concentrations in the range of $10_{14}cm_{-3}~10_{17}cm_{-3}$ at 100 K, 300 K and 500 K.

In this study, the $(1-\chi)Ba(Mg_{\fraction one-third}Ta_{\fraction two-thirds}O_3-\chiBa(Co_{\fraction one-third}\Nb_{\fraction two-thirds})O_3$ ceramics($\chi$=0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6) were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The ceramics were sintered at the temperature of $1500~1575^{\circ}C$ for5 hours in air. The BMT-BCN ceramics have a complex perovskite structure, and have peaks of (101), (102), (201), (202) and (212). Increasing the sintering temperature, dielectric constant was increased. Temperature coefficients of resonant frequency of the specimens were decreasing with increasing BCN content. In the case of the 0.7BMT-0.3BCN ceramics sintered at $1575^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours, dielectric constant, quality factor and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency for microwave dielectrics application were a good value of 28, 235500 at ㎓ and -$1.2 ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

In this study, the piezoelectric ceramics PZT powders were synthesized by Wet-Dry combination method. And the flexible 1-3-0 type composites were favricated with piezoceramic PZT and Eccogel polymer matrix embedded 3rd phase. Dielectric constant of 1-3-0 type composites was lower than that of single phase PZT ceramics. Thickness mode coupling factor $k_t$ which was comparable with single phase PZT ceramics, and Mechanical Quality factor $Q_m$ were about 0.65 and 6 respectively. These composites are considered as a good candidates for broad-band type transducer applications. The acoustic impedance for 1-3-0 type composites was lower than that of single phase PZT ceramics. Therefore, these composites would be better used for hydrophone applications.

In this paper, in order to investigate availability of the OW-PD measurement method which has been proposed as an alternative of AC-PD measurement method to an after laying test and/or diagnosis for the power cable system, partial discharges owing to the needle-type defect integrated into the cable have been measured using AC and OW(Oscillating Wave) voltages. In the AC-PD measurement, the magnitude, phase and pulse number of partial discharges have been changed with the duration of voltage application, which can be analyzed through the relation with the process of the electrical tree initiation and propagation. In addition, the characteristics of partial discharges using OW voltage are appeared to be similar to those in case of AC-PD measurement and to be different with the shapes of electrical tree. From these results, it is concluded that the OW-PD measurement method is available to the tests for the cable system.

In this paper, the impedance characteristic of wire-plate pulsed plasma reactor was investigated by experiment. The experiment have carried out under the several conditions of voltage, wire length and wire-plate distance. The impedance of reactor wad decreased with increasing voltage and wire length. The nature of discharge in reactor was changed from streamer corona to spark with increasing incident energy, from which we understood the critical energy density between the two discharges. Fromthis experiment, we proposed the method for the impedance matching between pulse generator and pulsed plasma reactor. Additionally, we succeeded in the analysis ofstray inductance of 0.5MW reactor using EMTP (ElectroMagnetic Transients Program). This means that EMTP is also useful for the analysis of inevitable stray inductance of forthcoming a large scale reactor.

Laser-induced thermochemical etching has been recognized as a new powerful method for processing a variety of materials, including metals, semiconductors, ceramics, insulators and polymers. This study presents characteristics of direct etching for Si substrate using focused argon ion laser beam in aqueous KOH and $CCl_2F_2$ gas. In order to determine process conditions, we first theoretically investigated the temperature characteristics induced by a CW laser beam with a gaussian intensity distribution on a silicon surface. Major process parameters are laser beam power, beam scan speed and reaction material. We have achieved a very high etch rate up to $434.7\mum/sec$ and a high aspect ratio of about 6. Potential applications of this laser beam etching include prototyping of micro-structures of MEMS(micro electro mechanical systems), repair of devices, and isolation of opto-electric devices.

A bending actuator using zigzag type shape memory alloy springs has been fabricated and characterized. The fabricated millimeter-sized actuator has outer diameter of 3.0mm and inner diameter of 2.0mm. The zigzag type spring is more suitable for thin wall type actuator because the zigzag type spring has a planar structure comparing with the coil type spring which has a three-dimensional structure. The measured characteristics of the fabricated bending actuator show the possibility of practical application to micro active bending catheters.
