Copper is a well know material for use as heat sink or heat exchanger. However, copper has a considerable low tensile strength and temperature limit. A material that has a good thermal conductivity, low cost, but also excellent mechanical properties are desired. In order to identify the mechanism for the material properties of cast Cu-Fe alloys, $Cu_{50}-Fe_{50}$ (wt.%) alloy was produced by using a high-frequency induction furnace, a typical metal casting process. The Cu-Fe alloy consists of Cu, ${\alpha}$-Fe, ${\gamma}$-Fe with dendrite structures. The crystal structure and microstructure of the prepared $Cu_{50}-Fe_{50}$ alloy were systematically examined using XRD, FE-SEM, EDS and XRF for electrical devices.

압전폴리머 PVDF(polyvinylidene difluoride)의 기판소재를 기반으로 한 디스플레이 소자를 연구하였다. 압전 폴리머 PVDF의 양면은 두께 300nm정도의 ITO(Indium Tin Oxide)를 TCO(Transparent conducting oxide)로 R2R(roll to roll)증착하였으며, 이를 적외선 계열 Pulsed Laser로 상온 건식 에칭을 통해 패턴해내고, 이후 고진공 환경에서 Alq3 를 기반의 유기발광소자를 제작하였다. 전기적 신호에 대해서 기계적인 작동이 가능한 투명 압전 폴리머 재료를 디스플레이 발광소자의 기판 소재로 사용함으로써, 궁극적으로 발광기능과 더불어 압전효과에 의한 스피커 기능이 한 개의 개체내에서 독립적으로 구현될 수 있도록 설계하고, 기술적으로 실현시켰다는 점이 본 연구의 의의라고 할 수 있다. 이를 위해서, 섭씨 80도 이상의 온도에서 압전 성질을 상실하는 것으로 알려진 PVDF에 대해서 투명산화전극을 레이져를 이용한 비가열식 승화방법을 통해 패턴화하는 것을 사용했으며, 밀리미터 단위에서 수십 마이크로미터 수준까지 패턴화할 수 있었다. 제작된 복합형 유연 OLED소자는 기계적으로 휘어진 상태에서도 발광 성능과 스피커 성능을 각각 독립적으로 보였으며, Alq3에 의한 녹색발광을 보임을 확인하였고, 이 경우 양자효율은 약 3%이하의 값을 보였다. 또한 각주파수별 음압(SPL: Sound Pressure Level)측정 결과는 압번폴리머가 가청주파수 영역에서 작동함을 보였으며, 고주파영역에서의 SPL값이 증가하는 전형적인 PVDF사용 필름 스피커의 특성을 보였다. 이로부터 제작된 복합형 소자는 본 연구에서 제안된 목적에서 보인 것과 같이, 두 개의 기능이 서로간의 간섭없이 독립적으로 한 개의 개체 내에서 작동함을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과로부터 새로운 유연 전자 소자에 대한 디자인 개념을 제시하고, 기타 다른 기능이 접합된 형태의 신개념 전자 소자를 제안하는 것도 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films is a metastable form of amorphous carbon containing a significant fraction of Sp3 bond. DLC films have been characterized by a range of attractive mechanical, chemical, tribological, as well as optical and electrical properties. In this study DLC films were prepared by the RF magnetron sputter system on $SiO_2$ substrates using graphite target. The effects of the post annealing temperature on the Property variation of the DLC films were examined. The DLC films were annealed at temperatures ranging from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$ using rapid thermal process equipment in vacuum. The variation of electrical property and surface morphology as a function of annealing treatment was investigated by using a Hall Effect measurement and atomic force microscopy. Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses revealed a structural change in the DLC films.

In this paper, the operation principle of a bi-directional switch type resonant AC link snubber circuit was described, together with the practical design procedure, which employs in the proposed power module bridge package type resonant AC link snubber. The novel prototype of power module bridge package type resonant AC link snubber-assisted voltage type sinewave soft switching PWM inverter using IGBT power module was demonstrated herein. It was verified that both the auxiliary power switches in this resonant AC link snubber circuit and the main power switches commutate under the condition of soft switching commutation principle. In addition, the power losses of the new soft switching inverter treated here were analyzed by implementing the experimental data of the IGBT and diode v-i characteristics in addition to switching power loss characteristics into our original computer simulation software developed by the authors. Then, the voltage type sinewave soft switching PWM inverter was high efficiency than that of hard switching PWM inverter, along with performance operation waveforms. In the future, the comparative feasibility study of power module bridge type resonant AC link snubber and its related soft switching inverter in addition to the other types resonant snubber assisted soft switching inverter should be done from a practical point of view.

PURPOSES : A tack coat has been utilized to increase the bond performance between the surface layer and base course (intermediate course) at various road pavement sites. This is similarly true in other nations. Based on this connection, the objective of the present study is to evaluate the properties of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures with an RSC-4 or BD-Coat and determine the application rate of the tack coat. METHODS : The HMA specimens were manufactured using superpave gyratory compaction. The HMA mixtures were composed of a 5-cm thick surface layer and a 10-cm thick base course. An impact hammer resonance test (IHRT) and a static load shear test were conducted to evaluate the performance of the HMA mixtures with a tack coat. From these tests, the dynamic moduli related to the high-frequency resistance and interlayer shear strength (ISS) of HMA could be obtained. RESULTS : The results of the dynamic moduli of HMA are discussed based on the resonance frequency (RF). To check the accuracy of the IHRT, we conducted a coherence analysis. A direct shear test using the application of a static load test was carried out to evaluate the interlayer shear strength (ISS) of HMA. CONCLUSIONS : The maximum ISS was demonstrated at an RSC-4 application rate of 462 gsm, and the maximum dynamic modulus was demonstrated at an RSC-4 application rate of 306 gsm. By averaging the results of the ISS, the maximum ISS values were obtained when a BD-Coat application rate of 602 gsm was applied.

A space averaged $SiH_4/O_2/Ar$ simulator for the high density inductively coupled plasma sources for $SiH_4/O_2/Ar$ discharge is developed. The developed simulator uses space averaged fluid equations for electrons, positive ions, negative ions, neutral species, and radicals in $SiH_4/O_2/Ar$ plasma discharge, and the electron heating model including the anomalous skin effect. Using the developed simulator, the dependency of the density of charged particles, neutral particles, and radicals, the electron temperature, the plasma resistance, and the power absorption coefficient for the RF power and pressure is calculated.

High frequency induction heating (HFIH) is used in many industries and has a number of advantages, including reliability and repeatability. It is a non-contact method of providing energy-efficient heat in the minimum amount of time without using a flame. Recently, HFIH has been actively studied using the finite element method (FEM), however, these studies only focused on the accuracy of the analysis. In this paper, we can measure joule heat distributions by the electromagnetic analysis for HFIH and the temperature distribution from the heat transfer analysis by applying joule heat for a sprocket. The sprocket is heated over $850^{\circ}C$ due to joule heat and then cooled to under $200^{\circ}C$ by using cooling $20^{\circ}C$ water. These processes were used to calculate the FEM and then compared to our experimental results. The calculated outcome may be used to predict hardening depth in HFIH.

Nanopowders of MgO and $TiO_2$ were made by high energy ball milling. The rapid synthesis and sintering of the nanostructured $MgTiO_3$ compound was investigated by the high-frequency induction heated sintering process. The advantage of this process is that it allows very quick densification to near theoretical density and inhibition grain growth. Nanocrystalline materials have received much attention as advanced engineering materials with improved physical and mechanical properties. As nanomaterials possess high strength, high hardness, excellent ductility and toughness, undoubtedly, more attention has been paid for the application of nanomaterials. A highly dense nanostructured $MgTiO_3$ compound was produced with simultaneous application of 80 MPa pressure and induced current within 2 min. The sintering behavior, gain size and mechanical properties of $MgTiO_3$ compound were investigated.
