본 연구에서는 Titanium (Ti) source/drain 전극 접합이 차세대 비정질 InGaZnO (IGZO) 기반 박막형 트랜지스터에 미치는 영향을 화학적, 구조적, 전기적 특성 분석을 통하여 관찰하고 Ti/IGZO 접합 특성을 설명할 수 있는 메커니즘을 제시하였다. IGZO 기반 박막형 트랜지스터 소자의 구동 특성은 transmission line method (TLM) 패턴 공정을 이용하여 정량적으로 분석되었다. 비정질 IGZO 기반의 박막형 트랜지스터에서 Ti source/drain 전극 접합에 의한 구동 특성 변화 및 영향을 확인하기 위하여 금속/산화물 계면 반응성이 낮은 silver (Ag) source/drain 전극이 reference로 비교되었으며, 그 결과 Ti source/drain 전극 접합이 적용된 비정질 IGZO 트랜지스터의 경우 Ti 금속과 IGZO 산화물 계면에 형성되는 열역학적으로 안정한 $TiO_x$ 층의 형성에 의해 VT ($-{\Delta}0.52V$) shift 및 saturation mobility ($8.48cm^2$/Vs) 상승됨을 확인하였다. 뿐만 아니라 TLM 패턴을 이용한 IGZO 트랜지스터의 전기적 변수 도출 및 수치적 해석으로부터 $TiO_x$ 계면층 형성이 Ti 금속과 비정질 InGaZnO 계면에서의 effective contact resistivity를 효과적으로 낮출 수 있음을 확인하였다. Ti source/drain 전극 접합에 의해 발생되는 $TiO_x$ 계면층의 화학적, 구조적 특성과 $TiO_x$ 계면층 생성에 의한 소자 특성 변화를 연관시켜 해석함으로써, IGZO 기반 박막형 트랜지스터에서의 Ti source/drain 전극 접합이 비정질 IGZO 기반 박막형 트랜지스터에 미치는 영향을 설명하였다.

KSTAR(Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) 핵융합 실험 장치의 진공용기 및 진공용기 내부의 플라즈마 대향 부품들은 초고진공 (5$\times$10-9 Torr)의 달성을 위해 진공용기 내부의 이물질(H2, H2O, CO, CO2, CH4 등) 제거를 목적으로 SS316LN인 진공용기는 25$0^{\circ}C$, 탄소 물질인 플라즈마 대향부품은 35$0^{\circ}C$ 정도까지 가열(이하 베이킹)할 필요성이 있다. 이 가열방법으로 고온 질소가스를 진공용기 이중벽 사이로 흘려주는 방식과 코일에 저주파 교류전류를 흘려 진공용기를 유도가열하는 방식이 고려되고 있는데, 유도가열방식은 최대 유도 전력이 70kW 정도로 실제 베이킹에 필요한 열량을 공급하는데 있어 적잖이 부족하며 또 국부적인 가열 특성으로 인하여 KSTSR의 베이킹 방식은 전자의 가열방식을 우선적으로 채택하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 0-차원 해석을 통하여 진공용기와 플라즈마 대향 부품들에 대한 베이킹 계획을 결정하고 이를 만족시키기 위해 투입해야 할 열량을 직선적으로 증가하는 온도 곡선에서 각 부분의 온도 상승률을 다르게 설정한 세 경우와 F-자 형태로 변화하는 온도 곡선의 경우에 대해 각각 적용하여 시간에 따른 필요열량을 비교.검토하였으며, 이를 근거로 안정적인 베이킹 계획을 선정하였고 이 베이킹 계획의 실현을 위해 투입해야 할 고온 질소가스의 유량과 온도 도달시간까지 매 시간에서의 가스온도를 산출하였다. 토러스 형상의 토카막 진공용기와 플라즈마 대향 부품 및 다층단열재에 대한 해석 모델은 길이가 유한한 0-차원 실린더 모델로 가정하였고, 이에 대한 기하학적 성질 및 열역학적 성질은 유효계수를 고려하여 산출하였다. 진공용기 이중 벽 내부로 흐르는 질소가스의 유량과 온도의 계산은 진공용기 내벽과 외벽을 각각 독립적인 열전달 요소로 가정하여 구성한 모델을 이용하였다. 전체 해석에서 각 열전달 요소의 비열 값은 온도에 따라 변화하는 비열의 특성을 반영하였으며. 진공용기와 플라즈마 대향 부품의 방사율(emissivity)은 앞서 가정했던 각 온도 상승 곡선에 대해서 각각 0.1, 0.2, 1.3의 경우를 가정하여 계산하였다. 직선적으로 증가하는 온도 상승 곡선중 2$0^{\circ}C$/hr의 온도상승율을 갖는 경우가 다른 베이킹 시나리오 모델에 비해 효과적이라 생각되며 초대 필요 공급열량은 200kW 정도로 산출되었다. 실질적인 수치를 얻기 위해 보다 고차원 모델로의 해석이 필요하리라 생각된다. 끝으로 장기적인 관점에서 KSTAR 장치의 베이킹 계획도 살펴본다.

A novel methodology on the calculations of osmotic pressure and gradient diffusion coefficient has been provided ill the present study, by applying a succinct numerical analysis on the experimental results. Although both the osmotic pressure and the gradient diffusion coefficient represent a fundamental characteristic in related membrane filtrations such as microfiltration and ultrafiltration, neither theoretical analysis nor experiments can readily determine them. The osmotic pressure of colloidal suspension has been successfully determined from a relationship between the data of the time-dependent permeate flux, their numerical accumulations, and their numerical derivatives. It is obvious that the osmotic pressure is gradually increased, as the particle concentration increases. The thermodynamic coefficient was calculated from the numerical differentiation of the correlation equation of osmotic pressure, and the hydrodynamic coefficient was evaluated from the previously developed relation for an ordered system. Finally, the estimated gradient diffusion coefficient, which entirely depends on the particle concentration, was compared to the previous results obtained from the statistical mechanical simulations.

To minimize such loss due to aging, research on energetic materials is being actively conducted though, there are difficulties in identifying the comprehensive aging mechanisms as they focused on the respective materials. In this study, thermal and surface analysis were performed on energetic materials composed of metals(W, Ti, and Zr) and KClO₄ oxidizer to solve the blind spots of this aging study. It was newly found that the metals in the hygrothermally aged compounds can cause significant changes in performance. For example, the growth in the thickness of the oxide film on the metals led to an increase in the average value of activation energy(E_α). In addition, the standard deviation of E_α tends to dependent on the type of metal, which is due to the difference in electronegativity.

Thermal property is one of the important characteristic in the field of energetic materials. As the energy material is released during decomposition, DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimetry) is frequently used for the thermal analysis. In case of the dynamic DSC measurements, thermal dynamic change like melting is prevented from the thermal property measurements. And due to the predicting kg scale, the conditions of the heat exchange with the environment significantly is changed. In this study, As the method to resolve the problem, we predict the thermal aging property using the AKTS thermokinetic program from DSC measurements which performed isothermal method. Predicting the thermal aging properties from ARC(Accelerating Rate Calorimetry) measurement, we compare two results.

In order to investigate the interaction characteristics of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) with various solvents such as water, ethanol, and iso-propanol, Inverse Gas Chromatography(IGC) at finite concentration, which is a very fast, accurate, and thus promising technique in thermodynamic study of polymer systems, is employed. By measuring the specific retention volumes of the probes, the interaction parameters are calculated by means of the Flory-Huggins equation. From the results, the interaction parameters of the probes are, as expected due to the hydrophobicity of the polymer, found to be of large positive values (2$2.0{\times}10^{-3}mol/g$. For the linear PDMS, interpretation of the space distribution of molecules is performed by the Kirkwood-Buff-Zimm(KBZ) integrals, which give intuitive information about physical properties. From the KBZ integrals, water does not show the tendency of preferential solvation with the PDMS but formed self-cluster. The larger solvent molecules show a stronger tendency to distribute more randomly in the mixture.

LCC (Liquid cadmium cathode) is used for electrowinning in pyroprocessing to recover uranium and transuranic elements simultaneously. It is one of the core technologies in pyroprocessing with higher proliferation resistance than a wet reprocessing because LCC-cell does not separate TRU from uranium. The crucible which holds the LCC is technically important because it should be nonconducting material to prevent deposition of metallic elements on the crucible outer surface. The chemical stability is also crucial factor to choose crucible material due to the strong reactivities of TRU and possible incorporation of Li metal during the operation. In this study, the chemical stabilities of four kinds of representative ceramic materials such as $Al_2O_3$, MgO, $Yl_2O_3$ and BeO were thermodynamically and experimentally evaluated at $500^{\circ}C$ with simulated LCC. The contact angle of LCC on ceramic materials was measured as function of time to predict chemical reactivity. $All_2O_3$ showed poorest chemical stability and the pores in BeO contributed to a decreases in contact angle. MgO and $Y_2O_3$ have superior chemical stability among the materials.

The effect of addition of inorganic salts in polyethersulfone (PES) polymer solution on the membrane formation and ultrafiltartion performance was studied through the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of casting solution. To control the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of casting solution, various inorganic salts $[CaC1_2, LiCl, LiClO_4, ZnC1_2 $and Mg(ClO_4)_2]$ were added in the PES/NMP solution. Variation of membrane morphology and performance of the resulting membranes with change of the salt type and content added in tasting solution were discussed using viscosity, coagulation value, light transmittance measurement, overall membrane porosity, ultrafiltration experiment and cross-sectional SEM image. For all kind of inorganic salts, according as increase of the salt content in casting solution, viscosity is increased, coagulation value becomes lower, top layer thickness below the skin surface is increased, bovine serum albumin(BSA) rejection decreased and pure water flux is increased except $CaC1_2$ and LiCl. In case of $CaC1_2$ and LiCl, it is found that when the salt content is increased, the formation of macrovoids is suppressed and the precipitation rate becomes slow while instantaneous demixing of precipitation type is maintained. However, in case of $LiClO_4$ and $Mg(ClO_4)_2,$ it is found that precipitation rate becomes faster.

Tris(2-cyclohexylaminoethyl)amine (L) was synthesized by the Schiff base condensation reaction of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine with cyclohexanone, followed by reduction. The thermodynamic characteristics, mole ratio and formation constant of [Zn(II)-L] complex were measured by the cyclic voltammetry and isothermal titration. In the case of Zn(II), well-defined cathodic and anodic peak were obtained at -1.02V and -0.48V vs Ag/AgCl , respectively. For the [Zn(II)-L] complex, both peaks were obtained at -1.19V and -0.45V vs Ag/AgCl, respectively. In addition, the peak height gradually increases as the scan rate increases, suggesting that the currents obtained were diffusion - controlled. The mole ratio and stability constant of the complex measured cyclic voltammerty were 1:1 and logK$_f$= 5.8, respectively. And the mole ratio and stability constant of the complexe calculated by isothermal titration method was 1:1 and logK =5.4, respectively. ${\Delta}$H, ${\Delta}$G and T${\Delta}$S for the complex formation were -53.0 kJ/mol, -31.1 kJ/mol, and -21.9 J/K at 25 ${\circ}$C, respectively.

In natural gas distribution system, gas pressure is regulated correspond to requirement using throttle valve which is releasing huge pressure energy as useless form. The waste pressure can be recovered by using turbo machinery devices such as a turbo expander. In this process, excessive temperature drop occurs due to Joule-Thompson effect during the expansion process. Installing natural gas boiler before or after the turbo expander prevents temperature drop. Fuel cell or gas engine hybrid system further improve the efficiency, but 1~2% of total transporting natural gas is used for operating the hybrid system. In this study, a heat pump system is proposed as a preheating device which can be operated without using transporting natural gas. Thermodynamic analysis on evaporating and condensing temperatures and refrigerants is conducted. Results show that R717 is proper refrigerant for the hybrid system with high COP and low turbine work within the defined operating conditions. In domestic usage in Korea, the heat pump system has more economic feasibility owing to natural gas being imported with a high price of LNG form.
