We investigated photoluminescence, long-phosphorescent and crystalline properties with various $Dy_2$$O_3$ compositions (0.0~9.5mol%) in $SrAl_2$$O_4$ : $Eu^{2+}$,$Dy^{3+}$ phosphor powders prepared by the solid state reaction. The highest emission wavelength (520nm) of photoluminescence spectra was not affected by the Dy doping concentrations. The$SrAl_2$$O_4$single phase which was determined by X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence was appeared for the concentrations of $Dy_2$$O_3$$\leq$1.0 mol%. After removal of the pulsed Xe-lamp excitation (360nm), also, excellent long phosphorescent properties of the phosphors were obtained with the concentrations of $Dy_2$$O_3$$\leq$1.0mol%, although the decay time for all phosphors decrease exponentially.

Rubber laminated bearings with lead core are highly affected by changes in temperature because key materials which are rubber and lead have temperature dependencies. In this study, two full scale LRB(D800, S=5) are manufactured and temperature dependency tests on shear properties are accomplished. The shear properties at the 3rd cycle are used at $-10^{\circ}C$, $0^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$ respectively. The double shear configuration, simultaneously testing two pieces, is applied for compression shear test in order to minimize the friction effects due to the test machine, described in ISO 22762-1:2010. Characteristic strength, post-yield stiffness, effective stiffness, equivalent damping ratio are estimated and presented coefficient due to the temperature changes.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated C-band bandpass filter using dielectric resonators. From waveguide cutoff frequency which applied the region between adjacent dielectric resonators, the height of cavity is determined. The cavity's diameter is determined to the twice of dielectric resonator? diameter considering the conductor loss. The resonant frequency of the DR cavity is calculated with non decaying mode analysis. Conventionally, cylindrical dielectric resonator is analysed by Cohn's model which use the decaying mode in the region between dielectric resonator wall and circular cavity wall, which is an approximated method. The external quality factor, $Q_{ex}$ has found with simulation result using Ansoft's Maxwell simulation tool. The designed filter using dielectric resonators with dielectric constant of 45 has the passband center at 5.065GHz. The bandpass filter using dielectric resonators has about 1dB insertion loss, 20MHz bandwidth and more than 30dB attenuation at $f_0+15MHz$.

Luminescence properties of $NaCa(PO_3)_3$ doped with $Tb^{3+}$ ions are investigated by optical and laser excitation spectroscopy. The phosphors were prepared by solidstate reaction method The X-ray diffraction(XRD) was used to analyze the crystal structure and the crystallinity of the samples. The excitation and emission spectra and decay curve of $NaCa(PO_3)_3:Tb^{3+}$(0.01 ~ 30mol%) were measured at room temperature. The f - d band of $Tb^{3+}$ is observed in the excitation spectra of $NaCa(PO_3)_3:Tb^{3+}$ in the wave length region 205 ~ 245 nm. Strong emission lines due to the $^5D_4{\rightarrow}^7F_J$ transition and weak emission lines due to the $^5D_4{\rightarrow}^7F_J$ transition are observed in the emission spectra of $NaCa(PO_3)_3:Tb^{3+}$. The energy transfer and cross relaxation between $Tb^{3+}$ ions are discussed in $NaCa(PO_3)_3:Tb^{3+}$ in the emission spectra and life time.

사용후 핵연료의 건식처리 시 핵연료 다발을 절단하여 voloxidation 즉 휘발산화처리를 하면 고온에 의해 분리가 가능한 핵분열생성물의 분리와 우라늄의 산화에 의한 부피팽창으로 핵연료가 쪼개져서 입도가 작아지고 또한 핵연료가 피복재에서 쉽게 박리되게 된다. 그 결과 폐기물 처리 시에 발열핵종으로 폐기물의 저준위화시에 분리가 요망되는 Cs-137이 분리되는 장점이 있어 습식 재처리에 있어서도 바람직하다. 건식처리에 있어서는 voloxidation 으로 처리된 피복재에는 금속 지르코늄에 불순물로 함유된 우라늄의 의한 방사화 생성물과 피복재 표변에 부착/침투한 방사화 생성물이 방사능을 갖게 된다. 이러한 부착된 TRU 잔류물은 통상 1% 미만으로 알파핵종의 방사능이 원자로에서 배출시에는 고준위 기준치의 약 100배 수준이었다가 30년 냉각후에는 약 1/10 수준으로 저준위화 된다. 지르코늄 금속중에 불순물로 함유된 우라늄의 방사화로 생기는 방사능은 고준위 기준치의 10% 를 넘지 않아서 피복재의 저준위화시에 고려할 필요가 없다. 발생열은 방출시에 고준위 기준치의 약 30 배 수준에서 5년 냉각후에는 기준치 미만이 되며 30년후에는 1/8000 정도로 저준위화 된다. 사용후 핵연료를 습시처리시에 발생하는 고준위 폐기물 중 약 1/4 가 피복재 (hull) 임을 고려하면 피복재의 저준위화는 사용후 연료의 건식처리에 있어서도 필수적인 과정이다. 특히 미국의 고준위 폐기물 처분장 Yucca Mt.의 포기와 우리의 고준위 폐기불 처분장이 공론화되는 싯점에서 저준위화는 매우 필요한 기술이다. 피복재는 방사성 물질의 침투두께가 0.01mm 미만이 대부분으로 저준위화에는 표면제염에 의한 저준위화가 주로 연구되어왔다. 표면제염에 의한 저준화는 이온 빔, laser에 의한 방법, dry ice 분사에 의한 방법이 시도되었다. 염소기체를 이용하여 지르코늄의 산화막을 제거하고자 하였으나 이 산화막이 안정적이어서 표변의 연마, 아크릴 칼의 사용, 표면을 눌러서 처리하는 등 전처리하여서 염소기체 반응에 의한 표면제거 실험이 가장 효과적임이 실험적 결과이었다. 이러한 전처리로 방사능을 1/100 수준으로 낮춘다고 하더라도 지르코늄 금속중에 불순물로 함유된 우라늄의 방사화에 의해 중저준위 폐기물의 범주에서 벗어나지 않으므로 재활용에는 제한이 있다. 또한 전처리(표면제염)하여 분리되는 고준위는 다른 고준위 염폐기물과 함께 처리하여 발열 핵종을 제거하면 중저준위화가 가능하다. 저준위화 된 hull폐기물에는 지르코늄 금속에 불순물로서 함유되어있는 우라늄에 의한 방사능을 갖는데 이들의 제거나 분리는 지르코늄 합금 피복재 원료물질에 불순물로 함유하는 우라늄의 함량을 낮추는 것과 유사한 문제이다. 현재까지 지르코늄합금 피복재에 우라늄이 불순물로 함유된 것을 사용함으로 원자로내에서 방사화되어서 방사능을 갖게 되는 것은 피할 수가 없다. 따라서 저준위화 처리된 피복재는 장기 보관으로 방사능을 감쇠시켜서 재활용하도록 한다. 처리 방법으로는 초고압 압축저장, 시멘트 고화, 합성암석에 의한 고화법 등으로 장기간 보관 후에 금속으로서 재활용한다.

Since unloaded Q-value of a high-temperature superconductor(HTS) filter is very high, a bandpass filter(BPF) and a lowpass filter(LPF) with an increase of pole numbers can be fabricated without an increase of an insertion loss(IL) ; recently a 70-pole BPF is developed in USA. They have an abrupt skirt property and an excellent attenuation level for out-of band. Moreover, they can be miniaturized when lumped element resonators or the slow-wave characteristic are used. Technology of fabricating a HTS epitaxial film as well as a film of a 4 inch area also makes the planar type filter with a various structure and an enhanced power handling capability possible. Recently, the HTS filter subsystems composed of a planar-type HTS filters, a GaAs-based LNA and a mini-cryocooler are developed. The extended receiver front- end subsystems for mobile radio communications decrease the noise-figure level of the communication system and the frequency interference interacted adjacent bands, and increase the efficiency of frequency and the capacity of communication system. In this paper, theory for developing the HTS filter, its kinds, its design rules, its characteristics are reviewed. The feature of the research and market trends related to the HTS filter systems for the receiver front-end subsystem of mobile base station are surveyed.

The flexibility of base material gives considerable influences on seismic responses of a structure. The effects of relative stiffness between super-structure and base material on dynamic soil-structure interaction are evaluated by parametric studies. Two 5-story buildings are used for the study; one is shearwall structure with relatively higher fundamental frequency and the other is frame structure with relatively lower fundamental frequency. The structures are modeled as beam-sticks coupled with springs and dashpots representing the base material. Dynamic equilibrium equations of the soil-structure interaction system are sloved by mode superposition method using Rosset modal damping values. Soil-structure interaction effect is found to be major concern in seismic analysis of shearwall structure in most cases while it seldom becomes engineering problem in frame-type structure. It is also found that seismic responses at lower elevation of the super-structure are amplified though they decrease at higher elevation as soil-structure interaction effects of the system increase.

Crosslink characteristics of maleic anhydride-grafted EPDM (MAH-g-EPDM)/zinc oxide composite were investigated by weight losses after dichloroacetic acid (DCA)/toluene cosolvent extraction at different temperatures and by measurement of crosslink densities. The chemical changes were analyzed using attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The weight losses by extraction at high temperature ($90^{\circ}C$) were remarkably greater than those at room temperature and those by DCA/toluene cosolvent extraction were greater than those by toluene one by more than 5 times. The crosslink densities were measured after the solvent extraction, and the second crosslink densities were higher than the first ones. The first crosslink density was lower when the extraction temperature was high, and it was much lower for the toluene extraction than for the DCA/toluene cosolvent extraction. The second crosslink density of the sample extracted with DCA/toluene cosolvent was greater than that extracted with toluene. The extracted components were depending on the extraction solvents and temperatures, for example; only strong crosslinked networks were remained when extracting with DCA/toluene cosolvent at high temperature, while only uncrosslinked polymer chains were extracted when extracting with toluene at room temperature. Therefore, crosslink characteristics of the MAH-g-EPDM/zinc oxide composite can be analyzed by comparison of the extracted components according to the extraction solvents and temperatures and by measurement of successive crosslink densities.

Switching phenomenon of a three-waveguide optical coupler was analyzed by using the coupled mode theory, and the coupling-length of the device was calculated by means of the FDM. CPW traveling-wave electrodes were designed by the CMM and SOR simulation techniques so as to satisfy the conditions of phase-velocity and impedance matching. Traveling-wave modulators were fabricated on a z-cut LiNbO$_3$ substrate. Ti was in-diffused in LiNbO$_3$ to make waveguides and Au electrodes were built on the waveguides by the electroplating technique. Insertion loss and switching voltage of the optical modulator were about 4 ㏈ and 15.6V. Network analyzer was used to obtain S parameters and corresponding RF response. From the measurement, parameters of the traveling-wave electrodes were extracted as such Z$_{c}$=39.2 $\Omega$, Neff=2.48, and a0=0.0665/cm((GHz) (1/2)). The measured optical response R(w) was compared with the theoretically estimated and both responses were shown to agree well. The measurement results revealed that the ㏈ bandwidth turned out to be about 13 GHz.

In this paper, electromagnetic scattering by a perfectly conducting strip grating on dielectric multilayers is analyzed for the normalized reflected and transmitted power by applying the Fourier-Galeakin moment method. The induced current density is expanded in a series of multiplication of chebyshev polynomials of the first kind and functions with appropriate edge boundary condition, the continuous condition of electromagnetic field is applied in the boundary planes. The confirm the validity of the proposed method, the nor- malized reflected and transmitted power obtained by varying the relative permittivity and thickness of each dielectric layers are evaluated and compared with those of the existing numerical method and a paper, and then the numerical results in this paper are in good agreement with those of the existing numerical method and the paper. The sharp variation position in the geometrically normalized reflected and transmitted power can be moved by the incident angle, grating period, and the relative permittivity and thickness of the dielectric multilayers, these sharp variation points which are called the Wood's anomaly of the Geome- trically normalized reflected power are observed as a main factor when the reflected powers of the higher order mode are transitted between propagating and evanescent modes, and the local minimum positions are slightly moved to the left hand direction in which grating period is getting small according to the increase of the relative permittivity of dielectric layers.
