A top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) is a method of growing SiC single crystal from the Si melt dissolved the carbon. In this study, multiphysics modeling was conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics, a commercialized finite element analysis package, to get analytic results about electromagnetic analysis, heat transfer and fluid flow in the Si melt. Experimental results showed good agreements with simulation data, which supports the validity of the simulation model. Based on the understanding about solution growth of SiC and our set-up, crystal growth was conducted on off-axis 4H-SiC seed crystal in the temperature range of $1600{\sim}1800^{\circ}C$. The grown layer showed good crystal quality confirmed with optical microscopy and high resolution X-ray diffraction, which also demonstrates the effectiveness of the multiphysics model to find a process condition of solution growth of SiC single crystal.

In order to improve the coupling efficiency, a collimator lens that collects the light emitted from the laser diode at a wide angle to the core of the optical fiber is essential. Glass mold method using a mold is widely used as a collimator lens currently used. Although this method is inexpensive to produce, it is difficult to form precisely and quality problems such as spherical aberration. In this study, the precision of surface processing was improved by replacing the existing glass mold method with the semiconductor process, and the material of the lens was changed to silicon suitable for the semiconductor process. The semiconductor process consists of a photolithography process using PR and a dry etching process using plasma. The optical coupling efficiency was measured using an ultra-precision alignment system for the evaluation of the optical characteristics of the silicon lens. As a result, the optical coupling efficiency was 50% when the lens diameter was $220{\mu}m$, and the optical coupling property was 5% or less with respect to the maximum optical coupling efficiency in the lens diameter range of $210-240{\mu}m$.

The applications of NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) as a vegetation index has been widely used to understand vegetation biomass and physiological activities. However, NDVI is not suitable way for monitoring vegetation stress because it is less sensitive to change in physiological state than biomass. PRI (Photochemical Reflectance Index) is well developed to present physiological activities of vegetation, particularly high-light-stress condition, and it has been adopted in several satellites to be launched in the future. Thus, the understanding of PRI performance and the development of analysis method will be necessary. This study aims to interpret the characteristics of light-stress-sensitive PRI in shadow areas and to evaluate the PRI calculated by other wavelengths (i.e., 488.9 nm, 553.6 nm, 646.9 nm, and 668.4 nm) instead of 570 nm that used in original PRI. Using airborne-based hyperspectral image, we found that PRI values were increased in shadow detection due to the reduction of high light induced physiological stress. However, the qualities of both PRI and NDVI data were dramatically decreased when the shadow index (SI) exceeded the threshold (SI<25). In addition, the PRI calculated using by 553.6 nm had best correlation with original PRI. This relationship was improved by multiple regression analysis including reflectances of RED and NIR. These results will be helpful to the understanding of physiological meaning on the application of PRI.

최근 생활수준 및 생활환경의 향상에 힘입어 청결 및 쾌적을 추구하는 것이 사회적 현상으로 나타나고 있다. 요즘처럼 현대화된 시대에 '왜 항균제가 필요한 것일까' 라는 자연스러운 의문이 발생하게 되지만 현실은 항균제를 이용한 다양한 항균제품, 항균가전제품, 항균가공 내ㆍ건자재 및 항상 신선한 선도를 유지할 수 있는 제품 등이 호황을 누리고 있는 것이 현실이며 그 시장 규모는 3,000억원을 상회하고 있다. 이러한 항균 가공제품이 호평을 받는 사회적 배경은 우리를 둘러싼 주변 삶의 경제환경 신장에 따른 쾌적성 추구와 밀접한 관련이 있을 것이다. 이처럼 항균기능이 부여된 제품이 호평을 받고 있음에도 불구하고 국내에서는 항균제품의 주 기능 역할을 하는 항균제에 대한 개발은 초기단계로 국내 시장에서 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 국내의 경우, 유기 항균제의 사용이 전체 사용량의 80%를 차지하고 있고, 제올라이트나 인산염을 무기 담체로 항균성 금속 이온(Ag, Zn)을 물리적으로 결합시킨 무기 항균제가 개발된 것이 최근의 기술 수준이다. 이러한 유기 항균제는 미생물의 번식을 억제 또는 사멸시키기 위한 것이지만, 생체의 피부 세포에도 영향을 줄 수 있는 피부 자극원의 하나로 그 사용이 점차로 제한되고 있다. 무기 항균제는 안정성이나 항균력에서는 유기항균제 보다는 뛰어나지만 가격(경제성)이나 색(Color), 사용성 (Application)측면에서는 여러 가지 문제를 나타내고 있다. 귀금속이므로 가격이 고가이며, 금속고유의 색으로 회귀하려는 플라즈몬 효과에 의해 색(Color)의 조절이 불가능, 분말형태이므로 지류에 첨가시키는 방법 등이 큰 문제로 부각되고 있다. 이 러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 기술이 나노기술이다 나노기술(Nano-Technology)은 물질을 분자, 원자단위에서 규명하고 제어하는 기술로서 원자, 분자를 적절히 결합시킴으로서 기존 물질의 변형, 개조는 물론 신물질의 창출을 가능케 하는 기술이다. 나노기술은 여러분야로 세분화되지만 그중 산업화에 가장 접목이 용이한 기술이 나노입자(Nano-Particle)제어 기술이며, 나노입자는 통상적으로 입자크기가 수 nm에서 100nm이하 크기의 넓은 표면적을 가진 콜로이드 상의 불균일 분산입자를 말한다. 나노입자(Nano-Particle)는 기존의 입자($\mu\textrm{m}$)보다 물리적 및 광학적 성질이 우수하고 그 자체의 기능면에서도 탁월하기 때문에 국내외의 여러 산업에서도 기존제품의 품질 향상 및 기능성부여, 기존 공정의 개선 및 생산 원단위 절감 등 경제적, 생산적인 측면을 고려하여 적합한 나노입자를 채택, 적용하고자 하는데 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 이에 천연 항생제로 알려진 Ag, 즉 항균 및 탈취, 전기적 기능이 우수한 은(silver, Ag)을 나노(nm) 입자희 제조하고 이와 더불어 이산화티탄(TiO2) 복합 분체를 제조하여 제조된 나노 입자 및 복합 분체를 사용함으로써 환경 친화적이며 다양한 용도로 활용 가능한 소재 개발에 연구 내용을 두고 있다. 본 연구를 통한 기대 효과로서 환경성 측면에서는 환경 친화적인 나노 입자의 제조로 기능성 나노 입자에 친 환경성을 부여하여 유기계 항균제 대체 효과를 발현하고 이를 제품에 적용함으로써 다양한 기능을 가진 신소재 제조에 있다. 또한 경제적인 측면에서도 고부가 가치의 제품 개발에 따른 새로운 수요 창출과 수익률 향상, 기존의 기능성 안료를 나노(nano)화하여 나노 입자를 제조, 기존의 기능성 안료에 대한 비용 절감 효과등을 유도 할 수 있다. 역시 기술적인 측면에서도 특수소재 개발에 있어 최적의 나노 입자 제어기술 개발 및 나노입자를 기능성 소재로 사용하여 새로운 제품의 제조와 고압 기상 분사기술의 최적화에 의한 기능성 나노 입자 제조 기술을 확립하고 2차 오염 발생원인 유기계 항균제를 무기계 항균제로 대체할 수 있다. 이와 더불어 안료의 형상 균일화 기술을 확보하여 가격 경쟁력 및 부가가치 향상을 기대할 수 있다.

Animal glue is a natural adhesive made from processed skins or bones of animals. It is widely used in wooden crafts, papercrafts, dancheong painting, and pictures. Accurate evaluation of the quality of animal glues during production and use is difficult because there is no formal method for testing the glue's properties during pretreatment and measurement conditions. Thus, in this study, a series of tests were carried out by changing the conditions of swelling, temperature, and concentration of animal glue and gelatin sold on the market. Twelve types of animal glues were evaluated, having a viscosity range of 12.67 cP to 29.43 cP. The results showed that the physical characteristics of the glues were stable when allowed to swell for six h in distilled water(23℃). When 10%(by weight in distilled water) of the animal glue was measured in the reflective mode of a spectrophotometer, the optical characteristics of the glues were stable. Powdered animal glues have a medium brightness and middle-high chroma. Relative to powdered glues, stick animal glues have a low brightness and a medium chroma. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that the data can be assembled into a form so that animal glue workers can use it as a reference for the preparation of evaluation standards for testing the characteristics of animal glues.

The stochiometric mix of evaporating materials for the $CuInSe_2$single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $CuInSe_2$compound crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were $620^{\circ}C$ and $410^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of $CuInSe_2$single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method. From the photocurrent spectrum by illumination of perpendicular light on the c-axis of the $CuInSe_2$single crystal thin film, we have found that the values of spin orbit splitting $\Delta$So and the crystal field splitting $\Delta$Cr. From the photoluminescence measurement on $CuInSe_2$single crystal thin film, we observed free exciton ($E_x$) existing only high quality crystal and neutral bound exciton ($A^{\circ}$, X) having very strong peak intensity. Then, the full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) and binding energy of neutral donor bound exciton were 7 meV and 5.9 meV, respectivity. By haynes rule, an activation energy of impurity was 59 meV.

The AlGaN layer has direct wide bandgaps ranging from 3.4 to 6.2 eV. Nowadays, it is becoming more important to fabricate optical devices in an UV region for the many applications. The high quality AlGaN layer is necessary to establish the UV optical devices. However, the growth of AlGaN layer on GaN layer is difficult due to the lattice mismatch and difference thermal expansion coefficient between GaN layer and AlGaN layer. In this paper, we attempted to grow the LED structure on GaN template by mixed-source HVPE method with multi-sliding boat system. We tried to find the optical and lattice transition of active layer by control the Al content in mixed-source. For the growth of epi layer, the HCl and $NH_3$ gas were flowed over the mixed-source and the carrier gas was $N_2$. The temperature of source zone and growth zone was stabled at 900 and $1090^{\circ}C$, respectively. After the growth, we performed the x-ray diffraction (XRD) and electro luminescence (EL) measurement.

In underwater robotics, vision would be a key element for recognition in underwater environments. However, due to turbidity an underwater optical camera is rarely available. An underwater imaging sonar, as an alternative, delivers low quality sonar images which are not stable and accurate enough to find out natural objects by image processing. For this, artificial landmarks based on the characteristics of ultrasonic waves and their recognition method by a shape matrix transformation were proposed and were proven in Part 1. But, this is not working properly in undulating and dynamically noisy sea-bottom. To solve this, we propose a framework providing a selection phase of likelihood candidates, a selection phase for final candidates, recognition phase and tracking phase in sequence images, where a particle filter based selection mechanism to eliminate fake candidates and a mean shift based tracking algorithm are also proposed. All 4 steps are running in parallel and real-time processing. The proposed framework is flexible to add and to modify internal algorithms. A pool test and sea trial are carried out to prove the performance, and detail analysis of experimental results are done. Information is obtained from tracking phase such as relative distance, bearing will be expected to be used for control and navigation of underwater robots.

A two-axis gimbal-type X-band antenna mounted on an observation satellite can efficiently transmit high-capacity image data to a ground station regardless of both the satellite position and the orbital motion. However, this X-band antenna induces unnecessary micro-jitter which can degrade the image quality of the high-resolution observation satellite. Therefore, to achieve the high-resolution image quality from the observation satellite, micro-jitters have been required to be isolated. In this study, to resolve aforementioned drawback, we proposed blade gear using a shape memory alloy (SMA) applied to azimuth stage of X-band antenna. To investigate the rotational basic characteristics of the proposed SMA blade gear, we performed rotational static loading test. Futhermore, to evaluate the cycle to failure of the gear, accelerated life test was conducted. The temperature test was conducted to confirm rotational basic characteristics at various temperature conditions. To verify the isolation performance for micro-jitter, we performed micro-jitter measurement test.
