위상절연체(Bi2Te3)와의 격자상수 불일치 비율이 서로 다른 Si (111)와 Ge (111) 기판을 선택하여 Bi3Te3 박막의 성장 조건을 찾고 이에 따른 특성 분석을 수행하였다. 시료 제작은 초고진공 분위기에서 MBE를 이용하였고, AFM, XRD와 XPS로 각각 구조적 변화, 결정 상태 및 화학적 상태를 분석하였다. 우선 Si 위에 형성된 Bi2Te3의 경우, 초기 박막이 형성된 후, 증착 시간이 증가함에 따라 섬(island)모양의 구조물들이 step edge 부분에 분포되는 모습을 AFM 이미지에서 확인하였다. 형성된 박막의 스텝 단차는 약 1 nm 또는 이 값의 정수 배였고, 이것은 Bi2Te3 unit cell의 quintuple layer (QL) 값과 일치하였다. 또한 측정된 XRD pattern으로 Bi2Te3가 hexagonal 구조의 c-축에 따라 결정성이 이루어졌음을 확인할 수 있었다. XPS 스펙트럼에서는 Bi 4f가 높은 에너지 방향으로 2.3 eV, Te 3d는 낮은 에너지 방향으로 약 0.7 eV 만큼 구속 에너지의 화학적 이동이 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 Si 위에 Bi2Te3 박막이 높은 결정성을 가지고 형성되었다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 Si (111) 기판보다 Bi2Te3 결정과 격자상수 불일치의 비율이 상대적으로 작은 Ge (111)을 기판으로 하여 Bi2Te3 박막을 성장시켜 두 표면에서의 박막 성장의 특성을 비교, 논의할 것이다.

The origin for the charge disproportionation (CD) transition in polycrystalline $La_{1/3}Sr_{2/3}FeO_{2.96}$ was examined using X-ray diffraction and the external field $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ssbauer spectroscopy. In order to see how the external magnetic field affects the CD state above its transition temperature, an external magnetic field of up to 6 T was applied either parallel or perpendicular to the $\gamma-ray$ direction with the sample temperature fixed at 225 K, which was above the CD transition temperature. Without an external magnetic field, a completely paramagnetic singlet was obtained in the temperature range of the averaged valence state above the transition temperature, which was interpreted as coming from the average valence $Fe^{3.6+}$. In the longitudinal geometry, a magnetic Zeeman with its intensity ratio 3:0:1:1:0:3 is superimposed to the central singlet. In the transverse geometry, however, the central singlet disappears and only a magnetic component with its intensity ratio 3:4:1:1:4:3 emerges. The existence of a singlet is understood as an evidence of the fast electron-transfer among Fe ions. Since the singlet still exists under the magnetic field, the application of an external field has little effect on the conduction mechanism of hopping electrons.

Single crystals of sodium thiosulfate $(Na_2S_2O_3) have been grown from the saturated solution by the evaporation method at the optimum condition. Radiation damages in the crystal by ${\gamma}$-irradiation of $20{\times}10^6$ Rontgen have given rise to paramagnetic centers. The anisotropic spectra of each paramagnetic species have been obtained with the X-band EPR spectrometer at room temperature. When an isotropic D.P.P.H. at g value of 2.0036 is based on. ESR Spectra of the single crystal are recorded for each rotation about the perpendicular a, b and c axis with intervals of $10^{\circ}$ from $0^{\circ}$to $180^{\circ}$ in order to find out the properties of the crystal for anglar variation of the anisotropic peaks. The g values are calculated from the line position between the anisotropic peaks and the isotropic peaks of D.P.P.H. and then principal g values and their direction cosines of the species is obtained by the diagonalization of 9 matrix elements of the corresponding g values. From the analysis of the characteristic principal g values and direction cosines for ${\gamma}$-irradiated $Na_2S_2O_3$ crystal, anisotropic peaks corresponding to $SO_2^+, SO_2^- $are identified and the existences of unidentified and unstable paramagnetic defects are verified.

In order to ultrasonically evaluate creep cavities pure copper samples were subjected to creep test and their microstructures were examined. Ultrasonic velocities. frequency-dependent magnitude spectra and attenuations were measured on a series of copper samples obtained from the different stages of creep test. Velocities measured in three directions with respect to the loading axis decreased and their anisotropy increased as a function of the creep-induced porosity. The anisotropic behavior could be attributed to the progressive change of pore shape and preferred orientation as the creep advanced. The 2% porosity by volume decreased the longitudinal and shear wave velocities by 11% and 4%, respectively. Furthermore, both velocities decreased nonlinearly with the porosity. As the creep damage developed, the magnitude spectra lost high frequency components and their central frequencies shifted to lower values. The attenuation showed almost linear behavior in the frequency range used. Normalized velocity, central frequency shift and attenuation slope were selected as nondestructive evaluation parameters. These results were presented and showed good relations with the porosity content.

Antireflection coatings on optical lenses commertially available in domestic market are optically analyzed. Transmission spectra and reflection spectra are collected using spectrophotometers. The apparent absorption spectra around the absorption band edge are dominated by the substrate absorption. The reflection spectra and the apparent absorption spectra at visible region between 400nm and 700nm show very strong correlation to each other except a couple samples. The discrepency observed in the latters are due to an increased absorption in visible region by the substrate, which is negative effect of these samples. An antireflection coating consisted of $SiO_2/TiO_2/SiO_2/ZrO_2/Cr$ is made on c-Si substrate for spectroscopic ellispometry analysis. A film-by-film coating is accomplished and between each film deposition, ex-situ spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements are made. The analysis of the spectroscopic ellipsometry data reveals that the average film densities of $ZrO_2$ and $TiO_2$ reach only 80% of their respective packing densities and thick films are inhomogeneous along film growth direction. Discussions are made toward in-situ, real-time monitoring of the film growth so that a real-time feedback is possible to achieve a post-correction to minor deviations occured in the previous step. step.

We performed the intracavity frequency-doubling of a tunable continuous-wave Ti:sapphire laser using a lithium triborate $(LiB_3O_5, LBO)$ crystal. For an efficient intracavity frequency-doubling, we measured the spectral and the angular bandwidth about the $\theta$-direction of LBO crystal. The measured values at a fundamental wavelength of 800 nm were 1.54 nm.cm and 3.8 mrad.cm, respectively. As a result of an intracavity frequency-doubling, we obtained the second-harmonic generation output power of 5.3 mW at 400 nm with the full width at half maximum(FWHM) of 0.089 nm from the fundamental output power of 185 mW at 800 nm. The frequency-doubled output was tuned from 397 nm to 403 nm.403 nm.

In this study, an improved post-processing technique for correcting MRI artifact due to the unknown respiratory motion in the imaging plane is presented. Respiratory motion is modeled by a two-Dimensional linear expending-shrinking movement. Assuming that the body tissues are incompressible fluid like materials, the proton density per unit volume of the imaging object is kept constant. According to the introduced model, respiratory motion imposes phase error, non-uniform sampling and amplitude modulation distortions on the acquired MRI data. When the motion parameters are known or can be estimatead a reconstruction algorithm based on biliner superposition method was used to correct the MRI artifact. In the case of motion parameters are unknown, first, the spectrum shift method is applied to find the respiratory fluctuation function, x directional expansion coefficient and x directional expansion center. Next, y directional expansion coefficient and y directional expansion center are estimated by using the minimum energy method. Finally, the validity of this proposed method is shown to be effective by using the simulated motion images.

A liquid-air interface sensing system using the flat end surfaces of a fused-silica fiber coupler has been demonstrated. The principle is based on the additional optical loss caused by changing the refractive index of the external material at the boundary of the end face made of a fiber. The immersion characteristics of this system with respect to the different splitting ratios of the couplers were investigated to determine the sensitivity when it responses to water and air. These experimental data are very useful for selecting the coupling ratio of a coupler in order to develop a multiple sensing probe system. In the proposed sensor structure, it can be emphasize that the sensing probe can be appropriately arrayed on the basis of splitting ratio of the coupler. As a result, it is expected that the proposed liquid-air interface sensors can also be applied to monitor flooding that occurs in multiple areas at the same time.

In this paper, we present fusion methods for two different lofargrams. Since the conventional method synthesizes the lofargrams using frequency spectrum, it has limited performance in fusion of tonal signals which have two-dimensional information of the time-frequency domain. Proposed algorithm uses a two-dimensional directional bilateral filter for preprocessing and fuses two lofargrams based on comparison of local anisotropy of the lofargrams. After noise is suppressed and tonals are sharpened, the local anisotropy can be used as a criterion to divide tonals and noise. The experiment results using simulated data and real data showed that the proposed algorithms result in similar or lower noise level of the fused lofargram than conventional algorithms and decrease tonal omission in fusion process.

Single-channel seismic exploration has proven effective in delineating subsurface geological structures using small-scale survey systems. The seismic data acquired through zero- or near-offset methods directly capture subsurface features along the vertical axis, facilitating the construction of corresponding seismic sections. However, substantial noise in single-channel seismic data hampers precise interpretation because of the low signal-to-noise ratio. This study introduces a novel approach that integrate noise reduction and signal enhancement via matrix rank optimization to address this issue. Unlike conventional rank-reduction methods, which retain selected singular values to mitigate random noise, our method optimizes the entire singular value spectrum, thus effectively tackling both random and erratic noises commonly found in environments with low signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, to enhance the horizontal continuity of seismic events and mitigate signal loss during noise reduction, we introduced an adaptive weighting factor computed from the eigenimage of the seismic section. To access the robustness of the proposed method, we conducted numerical experiments using single-channel Sparker seismic data from the Chukchi Plateau in the Arctic Ocean. The results demonstrated that the seismic sections had significantly improved signal-to-noise ratios and minimal signal loss. These advancements hold promise for enhancing single-channel and high-resolution seismic surveys and aiding in the identification of marine development and submarine geological hazards in domestic coastal areas.
