Among various clean energy technologies, the solar energy technology has been widely used in various fields such as photovoltaic power generation and solar water/space heating. These days, special attention is drawn on its conversion into acoustic energy along with waste heat as a means to promote clean energy utilization. This work was carried out to investigate the possibility of converting solar energy into acoustic waves, especially, its performance characteristics for a single resonance tube (20.2 mm in ID). Variations are made for the stack length and its position as well as power supply. For a resonance tube of 200mm, an average sound pressure of 114.5 dB was measured with a stack length of 25.6mm at 5cm from the closed end. When the power supply was increased to 35W, an average sound pressure of 117.29 dB was detected with a frequency of 500Hz. There was an increase in frequency, 630 Hz (115.7dB), with a shorter resonance tube of 150mm.

MetalHalid lamps have good efficiency, good color rendition and good focusing capability. But the shortcoming of metalhalid lamps is blown as acoustic resonance phenomena in the arc tube. Such acoustic resonance produce annoying fluctuations in the intensity and distribution of the emitted light, they can raise the voltage to the point where the arc is extinguished and they can move the arc close enough to the wall to cause local overheating and tube cracking. The objective of this research is to reduce acoustic resonance in the arc tube of the Pulse Start MetaIHaide lamp(MH200[W]). To reduce the acoustic resonance phenomena the electronic ballast was designed for high frequency operation with the constant frequency sinusoidal wave of 89[kHz] in the 84.6[kHz]∼94.2[kHz] range. Experimental results show that the acoustic resonance phenomena are not in the arc tube of Pulse Start MetalHalide lamp (MH200[W]) .

플라즈마 공정에서의 생산률이 플라즈마의 밀도에 비례한다는 많은 연구가 이루어진 후, 초대면적 고밀도 플라즈마 소스의 개발은 플라즈마 소스 개발에서 중요한 부분을 차지하기 시작하였다. 이로 인해, 전자 공명 플라즈마, 유도 결합 플라즈마와 헬리콘 플라즈마 등 새로운 고밀도 플라즈마 개발 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근에는 고밀도 플라즈마 개발과 더불어, 대면적 플라즈마 소스의 개발이 플라즈마 공정 기술의 중요한 이슈가 되고 있는데, 이는 450 mm 이상의 반도체, 2 m${\times}$2 m 이상의 8세대 평판 디스플레이와 1 m${\times}$1 m 태양광 전지 생산 공정에서 플라즈마의 기술이 요구되고 있기 때문이다. 대면적 공정영역의 이러한 경향은 균일한 대면적 고밀도 플라즈마 개발을 촉진시켜왔다. 밀도가 낮은 축전 결합 플라즈마를 제외한, 대면적 공정에 적합한 고밀도 플라즈마원으로 유도 결합 플라즈마와 헬리콘 플라즈마를 선택한 후, 병렬연결 시의 특성을 알기 위하여 ICP와 헬리콘의 단일 튜브와 다수 튜브의 플라즈마 내부, 외부 변수를 측정하여 조사하였다. 두 가지 플라즈마 소스의 비교 실험을 위하여, 자기장을 제외한 모든 조건을 동등하게 한 후 실험을 하였다. 단일 헬리콘 실험을 바탕으로, 대면적 실험에 가장 적합한 자기장의 세기, 자석의 위치 및 튜브의 치수를 정한 후, fractal 구조를 위한 16개 다수 방전을 ICP와 헬리콘을 비교하였다. 병렬연결 시, RF 플라즈마에서는 같은 전압을 가져도, 안테나 디자인을 고려하지 않으면 모든 튜브의 방전이 이루어 지지 않았다. 이를 컴퓨터 모의 전사를 통해 확인하고, 가장 최적화된 안테나를 설계하여 실험을 하였다. ICP에서는 모든 튜브가 방전에 성공한 반면, 헬리콘 플라즈마는 ICP에 10배에 달하는 높은 밀도를 냈으나, 오직 4개 튜브만이 켜지고 안정적으로 방전이 이루어 지지 않았다. ICP의 경우, RF 전송선의 디자인을 통해 파워의 균등 분배가 가능하지만, 헬리콘의 경우 자기장을 추가해서 고려해야 되는 것을 확인하였다. 모든 튜브에 비슷한 자기장을 형성하기 위해서는 자석의 크기가 커지는 문제점이 있으나, 매우 낮은 압력에서 방전이 가능하고, 같은 압력에서 ICP에 비해 10배 이상 달하는 장점이 있다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로, ICP와 헬리콘 플라즈마의 다수 방전에 대한 분류를 하였고, 바로 현장에 투입이 가능한 소스로 판단된다.

일반적인 라만 분광 시스템은 회절 한계로 인해 공간 분해능이 떨어지며, 시료의 양이 적을 경우에 굉장히 미약하게 발생하는 라만 신호의 검출 감도가 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS)를 구축하였다. 구축한 TERS 시스템은 뾰족한 금속 탐침을 시료 위에 근접시켜 금속 탐침 내에 존재하는 전자와 여기 광 간의 플라즈몬 공명 현상에 의한 광 안테나 효과를 유도하여 라만 분광 시스템의 공간 분해능을 수십 나노미터 정도로 향상시켰으며, 기존의 라만 분광 시스템에서는 검출되지 않는 미약한 라만 신호를 검출할 수 있었다. 구축한 TERS 시스템을 이용하여 탄소나노튜브를 비롯한 다양한 반도체 시료의 라만 스펙트럼 및 라만이미지를 측정하였고, 금속 탐침이 시료위에 근접되지 않은 경우의 측정 결과와 라만 신호의 세기 및 라만 이미지의 공간 분해능을 비교하여 제안하는 TERS 시스템의 효용성을 검증하였다.

A numerical investigation on nonlinear oscillations of gas in an axisymmetric resonant tube is presented. When a tube is oscillated at a resonant frequency, acoustic variables such as density, velocity, and pressure undergo very large perturbation, often described as nonlinear oscillation. In order to analyze these phenomena, axisymmetric 2-D nonlinear governing equations have been derived and solved numerically. Numerical simulations were accomplished for cylindrical, conical, and 1/2 cosine-shape tubes, which have same volume and length. For conical and 1/2 cosine-shape tubes, very large variation of pressures can be induced without shock formation except the cylindrical tube. In addition, the results well agree to those of 1-D simple model analysis.

This paper presents the design and imelementation of an electronic ballast with a passive PFC structure from which acoustic resonance of the metal halide lamp was removed by introducing the frequency modulation(FM) method. The proposed ballast consists of an EMI filter, passive PFC circuit full-bridge inverter, LC resonance type igniter and a circuit for removing acoustic resonance. The FM method solved two problems associated with single frequency driving: variation of the acoustic resonance range according to lamp aging and the acoustic resonance range discrepancy caused by different materials sealed inside the arc tube and their pressures for arc tubes of identical sizes from different manufacturers. Performance of the prototype developed for this study of the electronic ballast for 1[kW] metal halide lamp was verified by evaluating its optical conversion efficiency, input PF, input current THD and power conversion efficiency.

Thermoacoustic instability caused by air conditioning in a combustion chamber has emerged as a problem that must be solved to establish a stable combustion system. Thermoacoustic instability is largely divided into primary and secondary acoustic instability. In this study, an experimental study of the effects of heat losses was conducted to investigate the mechanism of secondary acoustic instability. To generate the secondary acoustic instability, a quarter-wavelength resonator with one open end and one closed end was used, and the inside of the resonator was filled with premixed gases. Subsequently, secondary acoustic instability with downward-propagating flames could be realized via thermal expansion on the burnt side. To control heat losses qualitatively, an additional co-axial tube was installed in the resonator with air or nitrogen supply. Therefore, additional diffusion flames can be formed at the top of the resonator depending on the injection of the oxidizer into the co-axial tube when rich premixed flames are used. Consequently, secondary acoustic instability could not be achieved by increasing heat losses to the ambient when the additional diffusion flame was not formed, and the opposite result was obtained with the additional diffusion flame.

We calculated the electron spin resonance (ESR) line-profile function. The line-width of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) was studied as a function of the temperature at a frequency of 9.5 GHz in the presence of external electromagnetic radiation. The temperature dependence of the line-widths is obtained with the projection operator method (POM) proposed by Argyres and Sigel. The scattering is little affected in the low-temperature region (T < 200 K). We conclude that the calculation process presented in this method is useful for optical transitions in SWNT.
