Recently as the interest in the development of domestic ore deposits has increased, we can easily find some studies on exploration geophysics-based ore deposit survey in literature. Geophysical surveys have been applied to the investigation of both metallic and non-metallic ore deposit. For metallic ore-deposit survey, the 2D electrical resistivity method has been popularly used, because metallic mineral deposits are generally more conductive than surrounding media. However, geological structures are 3D rather than 2D structures, which may lead to misinterpretation in 2D inversion section. In this study, 3D effects are examined for several 3D structures such as a width-varying dyke model and a wedge-shaped model. We also investigate the effects of the direction of survey line. Numerical results show that the width-varying dyke model yields some low resistivity zone in the deep part, which is independent of real ore-body location. For the wedge-shaped model, even though the survey line is located apart from the ore body, the 2D inversion section still shows low resistivity zone in the deep part. When the survey line is not perpendicular to the strike of the ore body, the low resistivity zone is slightly broader but shallower than that obtained along the survey line perpendicular to the strike. For the survey lines that have an angle smaller than $45^{\circ}$ with the strike of the ore body, the inversion results are totally distorted. From these results, we conclude that 2-D survey and interpretation can lead to misinterpretation of subsurface structures, which may be linked to economical loss. Eventually, we recommend to apply 3-D rather than 2-D electrical resistivity survey for ore-deposit survey.

압전재료의 다양한 에너지 변환특성 중 기계-전기 에너지간 변환 특성만을 이용하고자 하는 경우로 한정하고, 압전재료의 물성 및 진동모드, 재료물성 평가 사례들을 요약하여 소개하였다. 그러나 이상에서 설명한 압전특성은 매우 개략적인 개념으로서 우수한 압전 응용부품을 개발하기 위해서는 몇 가지 유의할 사항들이 있다. 압전재료는 보다 기본적으로 열에너지, 기계에너지, 전기에너지, 나아가서 Maxwell 방정식에 의해서 전기장과 연결되는 자기에너지까지도 연결시켜서 상호간에 에너지 변환작용을 일으킬 수 있는 특성을 가진다. 기계적 변형(S) = 탄성변형효과 + 역압전효과 + 열팽창효과 전기적 변위(D) = 압전효과 + 유전효과 + 초전효과 즉, 압전 응용부품이 온도변화 및 자기장이 인가되는 환경에서 순수하게 압전현상만을 이용하고자 한다면, 응용분야 및 주위환경에 따라 압전세라믹 소자가 외부 환경변화에 반응을 하지 않도록 적절한 차단 대책을 수립하여야만 한다. 그러나 압전재료의 외부 자기장의 변화에 대한 반응도는 전기장에 대한 반응도에 비해서 매우 작으므로 통상 무시해도 무방하다고 본다. 그리고 압전재료에서 전기장-기계장의 선형성이 보장되는 크기에는 뚜렷한 한계가 있고, 선형성 영역을 벗어나면 이력특성에 의해 비선형 특성 및 포화상태를 보이게 된다는 점 또한 주의하여야 할 점이다. 또한 압전특성은 Curie 온도이하에서만 존재하고, 그 이상의 온도에서는 쌍극자들의 지나친 운동성에 의해 결정 대칭성이 변하여 압전특성이 소멸되므로 사용 온도 구간에 엄격한 제한을 두어야 함도 응용에 유의하여야 한다.

To verify reinforcing effect of grouting materials on the water leakage region in dike, we performed various hydraulic test and we also applied electric resistivity survey including electrical resistivity tomography(ERT) to see resistivity variation before and after grouting. As the results of dipole-dipole array survey along dike, resistivity distribution after grouting was without noticeable spatial variation. Long term resistivity monitoring results at dike with Schlumberger array electric resistivity survey showed that the decreasing region of apparent resistivity and one dimensional inversion results were the occupied region by grout after grouting. From the ERT using check holes to inspect the effect of grouting, we could find that the ERT is quite effective to evaluate spatially grout region in dike.

This study was performed to identify the presence of measurement distortions such as electrode polarization and to investigate the influence of soil water content on complex permittivity at low frequency. In low frequency measurement using two-terminal electrode system, electrode polarization effect was observed at frequencies less than approximately 100 HBz. The analysis for real permittivity should be performed at frequencies above 100 kHz in order to exclude electrode polarization effect in the analysis of real permittivity at low frequency measurements. For a given soil, both of real and effective imaginary permittivity of wet soil increased continuously with volumetric water content. This is evidenced by the facts that the real permittivity is proportional to the number of dipole moments per unit volume and effective imaginary permittivity is effected by the conduction due to water. However, proportional relation between real permittivity and volumetric water content is valid at upper MHz frequencies.

The location and geometry of the Ulsan Fault play important roles in interpreting tectonic evolution of the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula. Dipole-dipole electrical resistivity surveys and seismic refraction surveys were carried out in the Yaksoo area, Ulsan in order to measure the thickness of the alluvium covering the Ulsan Fault and to find associated fracture zones and possibly the location of its major fault plane. The collected data were analyzed and interpreted. Some results reported previously by others were also used in this interpretation. No low resistivity anomalies were found in the cross-sectional resistivity image of the survey line located in the east of the Dong River. In contrast, well-developed continuous low resistivity anomalies were detected in the west of the Dong River. This strongly suggests that the major fault plane of the Ulsan Fault is located under or in the west part of the Dong River. Two refraction boundaries corresponding to the underground water level and the bottom of the alluvium were found by refraction surveys carried out on the limited part of the east survey line. The thickness of the alluvium was found to be about 30 m. Small faults in the basement rock identified by reflection surveys were not detected by both resistivity and refraction seismic surveys. This might be explained by assuming that low resistivity anomaly is more closely related to the clay contents than the water contents. On the other hand, it may be resulted by the limited resolution of the resistivity and refraction surveys. Detailed study is required to clarify the reason. Resistivity survey is frequently considered to be a good exploration method to detect subsurface faults. However, it appears to be less useful than reflection seismic survey in this work. In dipole-dipole resistivity survey, the number of separation should be increased to survey deeper subsurface with the same resolution. However, signal to noise ratio decreases as the number of separation increases. In this survey area, the signal to noise ratio of up to sixteen separations was good enough based on the statistical properties of measurements.

To verify the reinforcing effect of grouting materials composed of colloid cement and ordinary portland cement on the water leakage region in a small scale dike, we performed a tubecasing method and applied surface electrical resistivity survey including electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) to find resistivity variation before and after grouting. Hydraulic conductivities after grouting show 10 times lower than those of before grouting. These variation indicates that the cement grout blocks the leakage pathway effectively. As the results of dipole-dipole resistivity survey along the dike, resistivity distribution after grouting did not represent noticeable spatial variation in time. Resistivity monitoring results at the dike with vertical electrical sounding (VES) showed that the region of decreasing apparent resistivity was occupied by the grout after grouting. Predicted resistivities from the inversion of ERT data well matched with results of VES at the same regions. From the ERT using check holes to inspect the effect of grouting, we could find that the ERT is quite effective to identify spatially the grout region in a dike.

지반오염조사에 대한 유전상수 측정기법의 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 중금속 오염도에 따른 흙의 유전특성 변화를 분석하였다. 유전상수의 실수부와 허수부 모두 체적함수비에 따른 증가경향을 나타내었으며, 특히 MHz 범위에서 유전상수 실수부는 쌍극자모멘트에 비례하기 때문에 흙의 유전상수는 체적함수비에 따른 선형적인 증가경향을 나타내었다. 중금속 용액은 50kHz 이하의 저주파영역에서 전극 분극효과에 의해 농도 증가에 따라 유전상수 실수부가 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 고주파 영역에서는 이온의 수화작용에 의한 물분자의 배향분극 발현 감소로 인하여 유전상수 실수부가 감소하였다. 유전상수 허수부의 경우에는 모든 주파수 영역에서 중금속 농도 증가에 따른 전도손실에 의하여 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 흙과 중금속 혼합시료의 경우 함수비가 큰 시료에서는 중금속 용액 자체의 유전특성이 그대로 발현되었으나, 함수비가 작은 시료에서는 공간전하분극의 영향이 우세하여 유전상수 실수부가 10-20%정도 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유전상수 허수부의 경우에는 중금속 농도 증가에 따른 뚜렷한 증가경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면 중금속의 오염감지에 대해서는 유전상수 실수부보다는 허수부의 적용성이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 현장에서의 정확한 오염도 평가를 위해서는 함수비에 대한 평가가 선행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

We investigated the nonradiative energy transfer process from Rhodamine 6G to Malachite Green in ethylen glycol solvent using time correlated single photon counting system equipped with a modelocked Ar ' laser. The reduced concentration and critical transfer distance for various acceptor concentration were obtained by using a full-fitting analysis of the fluorescence decay curves. We found that Huber model is more suitable than Forster model and the influence of energy migration through the dipole-dipole interaction becomes more significant for the low acceptor concentrations relative to the donor concentration($5\times 10^4$mol/l).

More than 16 percent of the total 18,032 reservoirs over the country were reported to have leakage problems and need to be improved. Recently, a great deal of progress was made in geophysical survey techniques, particularly in electrical resistivity, and the techniques are used for variety of Purposes in groundwater and dam management due to its economical advantages. This document describes the re-evaluation of existing resistivity data including newly surveyed data, mapping of modeled value in 2-D analysis to locate seepage pathways, This contains also discussion results of more than eighteen years of professional experiences in the field of dam efficiency improvement. In comparison of surface resistivity data with several soil analysis data in laboratory, it is evident that the surface resistivity value shows a qualitative proportionality with the sand contents of the filling materials in earth dam. The result from the study also indicates that the SP method in subsurface investigation is effective to detect seepage in earth filled dam as well as piping through rock/earthfill dike.
