In this study, GTZO(Ga-Ti-Zn-O) thin films were deposited at various working pressures (1~7mTorr) by RF magnetron sputtering to examine the structural, electrical, and optical properties. All GTZO thin films exhibited c-axis preferential growth regardless of working pressure, the GTZO thin film deposited at 1mTorr showed the most excellent crystallinity having 0.38˚ of FWHM. The average transmittance in the visible light region (400~800nm) showed 80% or more regardless of the working pressure. We could observed the Burstein-Moss effect that carrier concentration decrease with the increase of working pressure and thus the energy band gap is narrowed. Figure of merits of GTZO thin film deposited at 1mTorr showed the highest value of 9.08 × 103 Ω-1·cm-1, in this case resistivity and average transmittance in the visible light region were 5.12 × 10-4 Ω·cm and 80.64%, respectively.

투명전극은 디스플레이, 터치스크린, 태양전지 등 폭넓은 분야에서 응용되고 있어 현재 각광 받는 연구 주제 중 하나이다. 특히, ITO(인듐산화물)을 이용한 투명전극은 뛰어난 효율성 때문에 가장 주목 받고 있는 전극 형태 중 하나이다. 그러나 ITO투명전극은 인듐 소재의 희소성으로 인한 자원고갈문제 및 복원력, 투명도 등에서 취약점을 지니고 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. 이러한 ITO 투명전극의 취약점을 보완하고, 동시에 플렉서블 디스플레이(Flexible Display) 소자에 적용 가능한 대체 투명전극에 관한 연구는 현재 가장 주목할 만한 가치가 있는 연구분야로 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대체 투명전극 중 하나로 그래핀 투명전극(Graphene Transparent Electrode)을 주목했다. PEN(Polyethylene Naphthalate) 투명기판 상에 Wet-Transfer형식으로 그래핀을 전사하여 그래핀 투명전극을 구현했으며, 복원력 확인을 위해 그래핀에 2가지 (Compressive/Tensile) 압력을 가하며 구부러짐 실험(Bending Test)을 진행하며 그래핀 투명전극의 저항값을 측정했다. 일반 금속전극의 경우, 일정한 수준 이상의 압력 또는 구부러짐이 반복되는 실험의 횟수가 증가되면 원래의 복원력을 상실하며, 저항값이 상승하는 것으로 보고된바 있다. 그러나 이번 연구에서는 그래핀 투명전극을 사용해 PEN 기판 위에 투명전극을 제작한 경우, 일정한 수준의 구부러짐 반복횟수(~1,000회) 및 구부러짐 정도(~10%) 하에서 저항값이 일정하게 유지됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 별도로, 기존에 알려져 있던 순수 그래핀(Pristine Graphene)의 취약점 중 하나인 높은 저항값을 우려하여 본 연구에서는 그래핀에 도핑을 하고, 그 영향을 분석해 보았다. 그 동안 그래핀 도핑법에 대한 적지않은 연구들이 진행되었으며, 본 연구에서는 TFSA(Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide)라는 물질을 이용한 그래핀 도핑법을 채택했다. 실험 결과, 도핑된 그래핀 투명전극은 위와 같은 수준의 그래핀 본연의 복원력을 유지하면서 저항값은 순수 그래핀 대비 약 70% 정도 낮아짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 그래핀 투명전극이 그래핀 고유의 특성인 높은 투명도와 복원력, 도핑으로 인한 저항값 감소가능성을 확인함으로써, 그래핀 투명전극이 ITO 투명전극의 좋은 대체자가 될 수 있는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

광전소자용 투명전극으로 적용하기 위한 초박형 Al 박막에 대해서 기초연구를 수행하였다. 증착 전 챔버(chamber) 내 기저압력은 $3{\times}10^{-7}Torr$이하로 유지하였으며 Ar 불활성 기체의 유입을 통해 작업압력을 $1{\times}10^{-2}Torr$로 상승시켜 증착을 실시하였다. DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 유리기판상에 Al 박막의 증착을 실시하였으며, 박막의 두께가 3-12 nm인 Al 박막을 각각 형성하였다. 두께가 7 nm 일 때 면저항은 $135{\Omega}/{\square}$로 측정되었고 7 nm 이상인 두께의 박막은 두께가 증가할 때 면저항이 점진적으로 감소되는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 두께가 10 nm인 박막의 측정된 면저항은 $13.1{\Omega}/{\square}$로 두께 7 nm인 박막과 비교하였을 때 약 10배의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 두께 6 nm 이하인 박막은 면저항 측정이 불가능하였는데 이는 SEM 분석 결과, 연속박막을 이루지 못 하였기 때문이라고 결론을 내릴 수 있었으며, 두께 12 nm인 박막까지 완전한 연속박막이 형성되지 않았다. 각각의 박막에서 입자의 크기는 선 교차법(line intercept method)을 이용하여 시편당 평균 120개의 입자에 대한 평균값을 측정하였으며, 이론적으로 예상할 수 있는 바와 같이 두께가 증가할수록 입자크기도 비례하여 증가하게 되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 가시광선 파장영역 내 투과도의 경우, 3 nm 두께에서 평균 80% 이상의 투과도가 측정된 데 반하여, 4-5 nm 두께에서 평균 60%로 급격하게 감소되기 시작하며 그 이후, 두께 증가에 따라 투과도가 점진적으로 감소되는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 Al 박막은 시간의 경과에 따른 표면의 산화가 진행되어 기존에 측정된 면저항보다 10-60%의 면저항이 증가하였는데 이는 두께가 얇을수록 더 산화의 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 나타난 결과로 보인다. 추후 산화방지막 및 빛반사방지막 층을 초박형 Al박막과 함께 Oxide/Metal/Oxide 구조로 형성하여 위와 같은 현상들을 해결하고 박막물성의 증진을 통해 투명전극에 적용을 목표로 한다.

In this study, trim tabs were attached to end of stern hull of a small high-speed vessel of length approximately 10 m and Froude number 1.0 to improve resistance performance and passenger comfort. Before computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to assess the performance according to various geometries of the trim tab, the scale effect had been found through a previous study, so full-scale simulations were performed. The trim tab chord length was set to 0.5 %, 1.0 % and 1.5 % of L_PP, and its angle to base line was varied in intervals of 5°. It decreased trim by stern and flotation: the greater the angle and length, the greater was the effect. Then it had pressure resistance decreased and shear resistance increased, and reduction ratio of total resistance varied accordingly. The results of this study indicated that the resistance performance was improved about 27 % at optimal running attitude that was the trim by stern about 1.5°.

Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the plasma level of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(pro-BNP) and several known risk factors influencing outcomes after Fontan operations, and to assess whether pro-BNP levels can be used as predictive risk factors in Fontan operations. Methods : Plasma pro-BNP concentrations were measured in 35 patients with complex cardiac anomalies before catheterization. Cardiac catheterization was performed in all subjects. Mean right atrium pressure, mean pulmonary artery pressure(PAP), and ventricular end-diastolic pressure(EDP) were obtained. Cardiac output and pulmonary vascular resistance were calculated by Fick method. Results : Plasma pro-BNP levels exhibited statistically significant positive correlations with mean PAP(r=0.70, P<0.001), pulmonary vascular resistance(r=0.57, P<0.001), RVEDP(r=0.63, P<0.001), LVEDP(r=0.74, P<0.001), and cardiothoracic ratio(r=0.71, P<0.001). The area under the ROC curve using pro-BNP level to differentiate risk groups in Fontan operations was high : 0.868(95 percent CI, 0.712-1.023, P<0.01). The cutoff value of pro-BNP concentrations for the detection of risk groups in Fontan operations was determined to be 332.4 pg/mL(sensitivity 83.3 percent, specificity 82.7 percent). Conclusion : These data suggest that plasma pro-BNP levels may be used as a predictive risk factor in Fontan operations, and as a guide to determine the mode of therapy during follow-up after Fontan operations.

This paper deals with the braking dynamic behavior of diesel electric locomotive pulling domestic cargo and passenger vehicles. Friction coefficient, pneumatic pressure, and running resistance affecting the braking system were tested. For the friction coefficient, the Dynamo test was performed with reference to UIC 541-4. The results are analyzed by multivariate regression and the relationship between braking force and ititial velocity is presented. The pneumatic pressure were classified into service braking and emergency braking. In order to reflect the characteristics of the brake valve and piping, the pressure rising over time was measured in the vehicle. In order to reflect the external force acting on the vehicle, we carried out the test of EN 14067-4 and presented the second order polynomial formula on a running resistance. The running resistance test results were compared with other countries. The dynamic behavior of a diesel electric locomotive running on a straight flat track based on vehicle resources, friction coefficient, braking pressure, and running resistance is simulated using the time integration presented in EN 14531-1. The simulation results were compared and verified with the vehicle braking test results. The results of this study can be used to analyze the dynamic braking behavior of a train. Also, it is expected that various parameters affecting braking in vehicle design can be analyzed and used as basic data for braking performance improvement.

In this paper, we investigated the characteristics of shear stress type piezoresistor on a diaphragm structure formed by MEMS (Microelectromechanical System) technology of silicon-direct-bonding (SDB) wafers with Si/$SiO_2$/Si-sub. The diaphragm structure formed by etching the backside of the wafer using a TMAH aqueous solution can be used for manufacturing various sensors. In this study, the optimum shape condition of the shear stress type piezoresistor formed on the diaphragm is found through ANSYS simulation, and the diaphragm structure is formed by using the semiconductor microfabrication technique and the shear stress formed by boron implantation. The characteristics of the piezoelectric resistance are compared with the simulation results. The sensing diaphragm was made in the shape of an exact square. It has been experimentally found that the maximum shear stress for the same pressure at the center of the edge of the diaphragm is generated when the structure is in the exact square shape. Thus, the sensing part of the sensor has been designed to be placed at the center of the edge of the diaphragm. The prepared shear stress type piezoresistor was in good agreement with the simulation results, and the sensitivity of the piezoresistor formed on the $2200{\mu}m{\times}2200{\mu}m$ diaphragm was $183.7{\mu}V/kPa$ and the linearity of 1.3 %FS at the pressure range of 0~100 kPa and the symmetry of sensitivity was also excellent.

Materials in nuclear power plants can be embrittled by neutron irradiation. According to existing studies, the effect of the material property by irradiation embrittlement can be approximately simulated by cold working (pre-strain). In this study, finite element damage analysis method using the stress-modified fracture strain model is proposed to predict J-Resistance curves of irradiated SUS316 stainless steel. Experimental data of pre-strained SUS316 stainless steel material are obtained from literature and the damage model is determined by simulating the tensile and fracture toughness tests. In order to consider damage caused by the pre-strain, a pre-strain constant is newly introduced. Experimental J-Resistance curves for various degrees of pre-strain are well predicted.
