Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy is applied to BaSrFBr : Eu film which is used for the phosphore layer, and afterwards the reliability and self-consistency of source corrections in the positron lifetime spectroscopy is investigated using a $^{22}Na$ positron emitter covered by thin foils. The positron lifetime showed no significant change through the various proton irradiation energies. It is unusual that the measurements of the defects indicate that most of the defects were likely to have been generated by X-ray radiation. This may have resulted from the Bragg peaks of the proton characteristics. The Bragg peak does not affect the defect signals enough to distinguish the lifetimes and intensities in a material that is includes multi-grains. The lifetime ($\tau_1$) associated with positron annihilations in the Ba, Br, and Eu of the sample was about 250 ps, and due to the annihilations at F-centers or defects from the irradiated protons in sample, the lifetime ($\tau_2$) was about 500 ps.

본 연구에서는 교량, 발전소, 산엽체의 시설물 둥 대형 옥외 설치 구조물의 부식방지를 위해, 전류 인가형 부식 방지 장치를 개발하였다. 기존의 전극기판(anode base)은 pve로 만들 어져 있어서, 옥외에 설치된 상태에서 쉽게 열화되어 부스러지며, 비 갠 후 시설물의 일부에 물기가 남아 있는 부식 환경하에서도 플라스틱 기판은 물기가 쉽게 제거되어 이마 건조된 상태가 된다. 이 경우에는 기판을 통해 부식방지 전류를 흐르게 할 수가 없기 때문에 희생 양극의 임무를 수행할 수가 없으며, 시설물이 부식되는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서 개발한 흡습성 기판은 기존의 pve 기판의 단점을 개선한 것으로, 대기 중에 방치해도 수명이 영구적이며, 다공질이기 때문에 흡습성이 있어서 비 캔 후에도 기판 내부와 표면에 물기가 남아 었다. 따라서, 비 캔 후 부식환경에서도 부식 방지 전류를 흐르게 할 수가 있어서 희생양극의 업무를 수행할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 옥외 구조물에 대한 방식 특성을 평가하기 위하여, 세라믹 기판을 부착하고 전류 측정을 하기 위한 철판(보통탄소강)구조물을 아래와 같이 제작하였다. 구조물의 $가로{\times}세로$ 크기는 $450mm{\times}450mm$ 이며, 구조물의 중앙에 세라믹 또는 pve Anode 기판을 부착 하였다. 살수 후 전류의 측정 위치는 구조물의 Anode 기판 중심에서 100mm 떨어진 지점 4 곳에 부착하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 세라믹 가판의 경우와 기존의 pve 기판의 경우를 비 교 실험한 결과, 전자의 경우는 120분 경과 후에도 $70~80\mu\textrm{A}$의 많은 양의 전류가 흐르는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 후자의 경우는 120분이 지난 후에는 전류가 전혀 흐르지 않는 것올 알 수 있다. 따라서, 기존의 pve 보다 세라믹 기판의 경우가 수분 흡수율이 높아 더 오랫동안 전류를 흐르게 하여 방식성이 개선된 것으로 판단된다.

A post-irradiation annealing study was conducted with use of reactor pressure vessel(RPV) steel A533B Cl.1 base metal irradiated to a dose of 4.84$\times$10$^{18}$ n/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at about 38$0^{\circ}C$. Microhardness and positron annihilation (PA) methods were used to obtain better understanding of the recovery of radiation hardening. Isochronal anneal experiments indicated that two recovery processes occur during annealing of irradiated specimens. The first recovery process occurs in the temperature range of 280-3O5$^{\circ}C$, Michrohardness and positron annihilation (PA) methods were used to obtain better understanding of the recovery of radiation hardening. Isochronal anneal experiments indicated that two recovery processes occur during annealing of irradiated specimens. The first recovery process occurrs in the temperature range of 280-305$^{\circ}C$. The variations of Ip, Iw and R parameters indicated that the formation of vacancy clusters by vacancy agglomeration and the annihilation of monovacancies are the first recovery process. The second recovery process occurs in the range of 405-49$0^{\circ}C$ and positron annihilation parameters measured indicated that the dissolution of carbon atoms decorated around vacancy-type defects and possible precipitates, and the annihilation of monovacancies give rise to the second recovery process. It was further indicated that radiation anneal hardening (RAH) in the range of 305-405$^{\circ}C$ between the temperature ranges for the two processes occurs due to the formation of carbon-decorated vacancy clusters and precipitates. The activation energies, orders of reaction and other characteristics of recovery processes were determined by the Meechan-Brinkman method. The activation energy for the first recovery process was determined as 1.76 eV and that for the second recovery process as 2.00eV. These values are lower than those obtained by other workers. This difference may be attributed to the lower copper content of the RPV steel used in the present study. The order of reaction for the first recovery process was determined as 1.78, while that for the second recovery process as 1.67 Non-integer orders of reaction for recovery processes seem to be attributed to the fact that several mechanisms for the first order and the second order of reaction are compounded in one process. This result also supports for the above conclusions from measurements of PA parameters.

According to the law revision of TPMS mounting obligations in Korea, researches about energy harvester which is the alternative of the battery are actively performed by many groups. Because WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) has the proposition of "Install and forget" and the power supplier also has the same performance as the vehicle's lifetime. In this paper, electromagnetic induction type of energy harvester through the relative motion between the rotating wheel and the fixed brake disc is introduced by using the most efficient source as the rotating motion in the view of vehicle's mechanism. The coil on the wheel and the permanent magnet at the brake disc are arranged in several ways. These various arrangements are the number of coil turns are consisted of design variables. By using the orthogonal array to reduce the experimental cost, the optimal composition is verified through the experiment. Finally the validity of the module is considered by measuring the level of storable electrical energy.

The composite electroplating is accomplished by adding inert materials during the electroplating. Permalloy is the term for Ni-Fe alloy and it is used for industrial applications due to its high magnetic permeability, surface wear resistance, corrosion protection. Microhardness for microdevices is enhanced after composite coating and it increases the life cycle. However, the hydroxyl group on the silica makes their surface susceptible to moisture and it causes the silica nanoparticles to be agglomerated in the aqueous solution. The agglomeration problem causes poor dispersion which eventually interrupts uniform deposition of silica nanoparticles. In this study, the dispersion of silica nanoparticles in the permalloy electroplated layer is reported with variation of additives and current densities. The optimum current density was 20 $mA/cm^2$ and the silica content was 9 at% at $50^{\circ}C$. The amount of silica nanopowder codeposition and surface morphologies were influenced with variation of additives. In the bath, smooth surface morphology and relatively high contents of silica nanopowder codeposition were obtained with addition of sodium lauryl sulfate.
