We analyzed a total of six months of geomagnetic data obtained at Cheonyang observatory, which is operated by Korean Meteorological Administration, to monitor earthquake precursors. Geomagnetic transfer functions (GTFs) and polarization values, which reflect the time-variations of the resistivity of subsurface, were estimated from 3-component geomagnetic data. The time-variant fluctuations were compared with the earthquake events occurred in the same period. Now that the daily GTFs show fairly irregular variations, we can not identify any correlation with the already occurred earthquakes and Kp index. On the other hand, we detect clear increases of the Ultra-Low-Frequency (ULF) band polarization values before the earthquakes, but the similar features are also observed even though the earthquake did not occur. This result may indicate that these time-variations are not just due to the earthquake precursor. For further understanding about these results, we need to investigate the relationship between the previous earthquake events and the geomagnetic data of other observatories.

Since the 1990's, a number of ULF geomagnetic disturbance associated with earthquake occurrences have actively been reported, and polarization analysis of geomagnetic fields becomes one of potential candidates to be capable of predicting short-term earthquake. This study develops the modified polarization analysis method based on the previous studies, and analyzes three-component geomagnetic fields obtained at Cheongyang geomagnetic observatory using the developed method. A daily polarization value (the ratio of spectral power of horizontal and vertical geomagnetic field) is calculated with a focus on the 0.01 Hz band, which is known to be the most sensitive to seismogenic ULF radiation. We analyze a total of 10 months of geomagnetic data obtained at Cheongyang observatory, and compare the polarization values with the Kp index and the earthquake occurred in the analysis period. The results show that there is little correlation between the temporal variations of polarization values and Kp index, but remarkable increases in polarization values are identified which are associated with two earthquakes. Comparison the polarization values obtained at Cheongyang and Kanoya observatory indicates that the increases of polarization values at Cheongyang might be due to not global geomagnetic induction but the locally occurred earthquakes. Furthermore, these features are clearly shown in normalized polarization values, which take account in the statistical characteristics of each geomagnetic field. On the basis of these results, polarization analysis can be used as promising tool for monitoring the earthquake-precursory phenomenon.

Piezoelectric properties of sintered specimen having a tetragonal phase of $Pb_{0.9888}Sr_{0.012}(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_{3}$ were comparatively studied with two different poling methodes, i.e., DC field and corona discharge technique. Internal stress of poled specimens by indentation fracture toughness was analyzed to evaluate degradation phenomenon. As the results, it was confirmed that corona discharge poling technique is practicable and has merits such as low-temperature poling, slow degradation and no electric breakdown comparing to DC field poling. However, corona discharge technique showed lower Kp value than DC field poling.

3차 비선형광학 재료를 설계하기 위해 단성분 산화물에서의 산소의 평균 전자분극률과 광학 염기도를 굴절율, 에너지 갭의 각기 다른 물성을 통해 산출하였다. Lorentz-Lornez식과 Duffy 의 반실험식을 도입하여 산소의 평균 전자분극율과 광학 염기도를 두가지 다른 물성으로부터 계산하여 비교하였다. 처음으로 독립적인 초기값에서 계산한 각각의 산소의 평균 전자분극률과 광학 염기도 사이에 좋은 상응관계가 있음을 확인하였다.

Negative induced polarization (IP) responses are examined for a three-layered earth using a digital linear filter method. The negative IP response can occur when the geoelectric section is of type K or Q. The section of type K creates a more pronounced negative effect than that of type Q. For such sections, IP coefficients are determined as a function of the resistivity distribution and the electrode configuration, and only the IP coefficient of the first layer can be negative. As a result, the negative IP response can occur when the first layer is polarizable in the section of type K or Q. and the polarizabilities of the other layers can act to depress the negative response.

Sawyer-tower 회로를 이용한 강유전 이력곡선의 측정과정에서의 주요 오차 원인을 살펴보고 이에 대한 대안을 제시해 보았다. 강유전체 시편에 존재하는 직류 누설성분에 의해 잔류분극과 항전계는 과대평가될 수 있는 위험성이 항상 있음을 알 수 있었으며 이러한 오차의 보정에 대하여 논의하였다. 또한 강유전 이력곡선의 측정에서 측정하는 시간이 증가되면서 시편의 발열로 인해서 시편의 온도가 증가하게 되어 잔류분극 값과 항전계 값이 감소하는 경향으로 나타남을 관찰하였고, 그 대책을 제안하였다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the degradation of piezoelectric properties with compressive cy-clic loading, the change in bending strength before and after poling treatment and fracture strength in MPB depending on the amount of MnO2 addition. The MPB with 0.25 wt.% MnO2 showed the best resistance against the piezoelectric degradation with compressive cyclic loading. Bending strength increased when pol-ing and loading directions are parallel, however decreased when poling and loading directions are per-pendicular each other. Because, during poling treatment, compressive residual stress is generated in the pol-ing direction but tensile residual stress in the perpendicular direction to poling direction.

비휘발성 메모리 소자로의 응용의 관점에서, sol-gel 방법으로 La 을 10mo1% 로 고정시킨 PLZT (10/y/z) 박막을 제작하여 Zr/Ti 조성비에 따른 구조적 및 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. PLZT(10/40/60) 박막은 로제트와 파이로클로르 상이 관찰되었으며, Zr/Ti 조성비에서 Ti 함유량이 증가함에 따라, (100) 배향성, 결정립 크기와 표면 거칠기는 증가되었다. 또한 Zr/Ti 조성비에서 Ti 함유량이 증가함에 따라, 10㎑ 에서 비유전율은 600 에서 400 으로 감소된 반면, 유전손실은 0.028 에서 0.053 로 증가되었으며, 170 ㎸/cm 에서 누설전류밀도는 1.64×$10^{-6}$ 에서 1.26×$10^{-7}$A/㎠ 으로 감소되었다. 그리고 ± 170㎸/㎝ 에서 측정한 PLZT 박막의 이력곡선을 측정한 결과, Zr/Ti 조성비가 40/60 에서 0/100 로 변화함에 따라 PLZT 박막의 잔류분극과 항전계는 6.62 에서 12.86 μC/cm2, 32.15 에서 56.45㎸/㎝ 로 각각 증가되었으며, 피로와 retention 특성 역시 개선되었다. PLZT 박막에 ±5V 의 사각펄스를 $10^9$ 회 인가하여 피로특성을 측정한 결과, PLZT(10/40/60) 박막의 잔류분극은 초기분극값으로부터 50% 감소된 반면, PLZT(10/0/100) 박막은 30% 감소되었다. 또, $10^5$ 초의 retention 결과에서 PLZT(10/0/100) 박막은 초기분극값에서 오직 11% 만이 감소된 반면, PLZT(10/40/60) 박막은 40% 감소되었다.

Silt or clay alluvium fully saturated with water generally shows low resistivity. Sometimes it is believe that the low resistivity layer is considered as good aquifer but this makes problems in the development of groundwater. To overcome this problem, we adopted induced-polarization(IP) method with resistivity method. Laboratory experiments and resistivity/IP field surveys with non-polarization electrodes were conducted for the study. Laboratory experiments shows that the increase of clay contents in the sample mixed with sand and clay give low resistivity and high chargeability. We used this experiment results in the interpretation of resistivity/IP field data which were obtained in riverbank filtration. Finally, the layer which has low resistivity and chargeabilty would be regarded as a good aquifer for the development of groundwater intake.
