Distribution of local critical temperature and current density in $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) coated conductors was analyzed using a Low-temperature Scanning Laser Microscopy (LTSLM). We prepared YBCO coated conductors of various bridge types to study the spatial distribution of critical temperature and current density in single and multi bridges. An LTSLM system was modified for a detailed two-dimensional scan without shifting of the sample. We observed a spatial distribution of the critical temperature from the bolometric response, which arises from a focused laser beam at the sample near the superconducting transition. Also we studied the relation between the critical temperature and the current density.

용융공정으로 제조한 YBCO 고온 초전도체는 임계전류밀도가 높기 때문에 외부자장을 강력하게 반발한다. 영구자석과 YBCO 초전도체간의 부상력을 이용하면 무접촉으로 회전할 수 있는 베어링을 제작할 수 있다 고온 초전도체 무접촉 베어링은 고에너지 효율의 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치에 활용된다. 초전도 베어링은 전자석을 이용한 자기 베어링에 비해, 위치 제어 시스템 없이 중량물을 공중에 띄워 회전시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치는 무공해의 환경 친화적인 기술로, 용량과 규모, 에너지 입출력 양과 시간을 조절하기 쉽다. 또한, 장소설정에 제한이 없으므로 에너지를 필요로 하는 장소에 자유롭게 설치할 수 있고, 에너지밀도가 다른 저장시스템에 비해 상대적으로 높다. 현재 선진 각국에서는 에너지의 효율적 저장 및 활용을 위해 고온 초전도체 베어링을 이용한 플라이휠 에너지 저장장치를 국가적 중점 사업으로 개발 중이며 2000년 초에 실용화될 전망이다. 본 논문에서는 고온 초전도체의 자기 부상력, 플라이흴 에너지 저장장치의 개념설계 및 개발동향에 대해 요약하였다.

In this work, the effects of electrochemical oxidation of carbon fiber surfaces on mechanical interfacial properties of carbon fibers-reinforced polarized-polypropylene matrix composites were studied with various current densities during the treatments. Surface properties of the fibers before and after treatments were observed by SEM, AFM, XPS, and contact angle measurements. Mechanical interfacial properties of the composites were measured in terms of critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$). From the results it was found that $O_{1s}$ peaks of the fiber surfaces were strengthened after electrochemical oxidation which led to the enhancement of surface free energy of the fiber, resulting in good mechanical performance of the composites. It can be concluded that electrochemical oxidation of the carbon fiber surfaces can control the interfacial adhesion between the carbon fibers and polarized-polypropylene in this composites system.

The effect of concentration of each solution( HCI, $H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$), scan rate and polished surface condition on the corrosion of AISI 304 Stainless Steel were investigated, utilizing the Method ASTM G5 - 87. It can be concluded that: 1) For the same concentration(i.e. 1N) of each solution the corrosion rate is the highest in HCI and lowest in $HNO_3$. Also, the difference of values of $i_{cirt}$ generated for each solution is significant. 2) As the concentration of the solution $H_2SO_4$ is increased (O.5N, 1N, 2N) the values of $E_{cor}$ $i_{crit}$ and $i_{p}$ are increased. 3) In case of existence of SCN ion of O.OlN, the values of iCTIt and ip generated are approximately 100 times and 1.4 times higher respectively, than in the case of non - existence of $SCN^{-}$. However the existence of $SCN^{-}$ doesn't affect the value of $E_{cor}$ and $E_{p}$. 4) The values of $i_{crit}$ and $i_{p}$ are increased due to the increase of scan rate. But the values of $E_{cor}$ and $E_{p}$ do not depend on the scan rate. 5) The $i_{p}$ value depends greatly on oxygen in the solution, but the changes in values of $E_{cor}$ $i_{crit}$ and $E_{b}$ due to the oxygen are insignificant. 6) If a component is polished using #400, #600 and #800 wet polish paper, the effect of surface condition on variations of values of $i_{crit}$ and $i_{p}$ is slightly significant.

Electromigration behavior in the Sn96.5Ag3.0Cu0.5 solder lines was investigated and compared Sn96.5Ag3.0Cu0.5 with eutectic SnPb. Measurements were made for relevant parameters for electromigration of the solder, such as drift velocity, threshold current density, activation energy, as well as the product of diffusivity and effective charge number (DZ$\ast$). The threshold current density were measured to be $2.38{\times}10^4A/cm^2$ at $140^{\circ}C$ and the value represented the maximum current density which the SnAgCu solder can carry without electromigration damage at the stressing temperatures. The electromigration energy was measured to 0.56 eV in the temperature range of $110-160^{\circ}C$. The measured products of diffusivity and the effective charge number, DZ$\ast$ were $3.12{\times}10^{-10} cm^2/s$ at $110^{\circ}C$, $4.66{\times}10^{-10} cm^2/s$ at $125^{\circ}C$, $8.76{\times}10^{-10} cm^2/s$ at $140^{\circ}C$, $2.14{\times}10^{-9}cm^2/s$ at $160^{\circ}C$ SnPb solder existed incubation stage, while SnAgCu did not have incubation stage. It was thought that the diffusion mechanism of SnAgCu was different from that of SnPb.

전자현미경내에서 일부 무기 및 금속 시료들은 전자빔 조사에 의해 시료구조가 손상되거나 비정질화 또는 상전이 등과 같은 구조전이 현상들을 겪게 된다. 즉, 전자빔 조사에 의해 시료는 원자간 결합이 끊어져 나타나는 Knock-on damage, 시료 원자 주위의 전자들과의 상호 작용에 의해 나타나는 Ionization damage, 빔 에너지의 시료온도 상승 기여에 의한 Radiolysis damage 등의 현상들을 경험하게 된다. 이러한 현상은 전자현미경의 가속전압, 전자밀도, 시료 조건 등에 따라 그 지배기구가 다르며 동일한 시편이라도 시료의 두께와 시편온도를 결정하는 전자빔 조사선량에 따라 그 양상과 전이 속도가 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 전자빔 조사에 의해 구조 전이를 겪게 되는 대표적 무기수화물의 하나인 Cibbsite에 대해 전자빔 조사효과에 대한 정량적 고찰을 에너지 여과 투과전자현미경 (EF-TEM)을 이용하여 시도하였다. 전자빔 조사는 120분까지 실시하였고 각 시간별로 에너지 필터와 Imaging plate를 이용하여 Gibbsite의 회절패턴과 미세조직 변화를 기록하였다 빔조사 시엔 illumination angle을 1.25mrad(Dose rate : 334 × 10³ e/sup -//sec·n㎡)으로 하였으며 사진기록 시엔 최소 illumination angle인 0.04mrad(Dose rate : 413 e/sup -//sec·n㎡)을 사용하였다. 시료의 관찰방향은 [001]방향이고 관찰시료두께는 약 50nm로 평가되었으며 시료의 화학변화는 EDS를 이용하여 분석하였다. 회절자료의 Intensity는 ELD/CRISP 프로그램을 이용하였으며 빔조사선량은 평행조사빔이 시료와 상호 작용하는 면적과 상호작용하지 않을 때의 빔을 회절모드에서 faraday cup으로 측정한 빔전류로 부터 계산하였다. Gibbsite에 대한 전자빔 조사 시 1분 이내에 급격한 Hydroxyl Ion(OH-)의 이탈로 인해 Cibbsite의 구조는 거시적 비정질화가 되며 시간증가에 따라 χ-alumina → ν-alumina → σ-alumina or δ-alumina의 순으로 상전이를 겪는다. 전자빔 조사 시 관찰된 회절자료의 가시적 변화를 통해 illumination angle 1.25mrad(Dose rate : 334 × 10³ e/sup -//sec·n㎡)일 경우 약 3초 이내에 비정질화가 시작됨을 알 수 있었고 이는 약 1 × 10/sup 6/ e/sup -//sec·n㎡ 의 전자선량에 해당되며 이를 기준으로 각각의 illumination angle에 대한 임계전자선량을 평가할 수 있었다. 실질적으로 Cibbsite와 같은 무기수화물의 직접가열실험 시 전자빔 조사에 의해 야기되는 상전이 영향을 배제하고 실험을 수행하려면 illumination angle 0.2mrad (Dose rate : 8000 e/sup -//sec·n㎡)이하로 관찰하고 기록되어야 함을 본 자료로부터 알 수 있었다.

High critical current density. $J_c$ over $1MA/cm^2$ at 77 K in a self field was successfully achieved from the YBCO film prepared on (100) $SrTiO_3$ single-crystal substrates by the TFA-MOD process. Unlike a normal TFA-MOD process, we prepared the TFA precursor solution by dissolving YBCO powder into the trifluoroacetic acid. A significant amount of the second phases, including $BaF_2$, was observed in the films fired at $700-725^{\circ}C$ for 2 h under $P(O_2)=10^{-3}$ atm and $P(H_2O)=4.2%$, most probably due to an insufficient reaction time, and hence $T_c$ was greatly degraded. However the films fired at $750-800^{\circ}C$ for 2 h were composed of strongly c-axis oriented YBCO grams without any second phases. and exhibited the $T_c$ values of 89.5 ~ 91 K with a sharp transition. With increasing the firing temperature from 750 to $800^{\circ}C$ average grain size of YBCO was increased and grain connectivity was enhanced. The highest $J_c$ value of $1.1MA/cm^2$ was obtained from the YBCO film fired at $800^{\circ}C$.

Melt spun YB $a_2$C $u_3$A $g_{15}$ and YbB $a_2$C $u_3$A $g_{x}$(x=5, 16 and 53) precursor alloy ribbons were oxidized at 263~322$^{\circ}C$, and heat-treated at 872~89$0^{\circ}C$ under 1.0atm oxygen pressure. In addition, about ten ribbons were stacked and coupled by pressing, and then followed the same heat treatment. YB $a_2$C $u_3$ $O_{7-{\delta}}$(1-2-3) or YbB $a_2$C $u_3$ $O_{7-{\delta}}$(1-2-3) phase was formed in both the ribbons and the multilayered specimens. The formed 1-2-3 phases were not texturized in all the ribbons, but slightly texturized in the multilayered specimens. $J_{c}$ was not achieved in all the ribbons at 77K and zero magnetic field. Among the multilayered specimens, YB $a_2$C $u_3$A $g_{15}$ and YbB $a_2$C $u_3$A $g_{16}$ showed $J_{c}$ of 260 and 180A/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively. YB $a_2$C $u_3$A $g_{15}$ and YbB $a_2$C $u_3$A $g_{16}$ are considered to be the appropriate compositions in producing textured superconducting oxides with improved $J_{c}$ by pressing. Onset critical temperature ( $T_{on}$ ) of the multilayered YB $a_2$C $u_3$A $g_{15}$ was 92K while those of YbB $a_2$C $u_3$A $g_{x}$(x=5 , 16 and 53) were 88~90K. , 16 and 53) were 88~90K.

Objectives: There are a lot of studies that analyze the interaction between the emotion of disgust and the functional brain images using fMRI and PET. But studies using sLORETA (standardized low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography) almost do not exist. The aim of this research is to explore the relationship of the emotion of disgust and the cortical activation using sLORETA analysis. Methods: Forty five healthy young adults ($27.1{\pm}2.6$ years) participated in the study. While they were watching 4 neutral images and 4 disgusting images associated with mutilation selected from the international affective picture system (IAPS), participants' EEGs were taken for 30 seconds per one picture. Through these obtained EEG data, sLORETA analysis was performed to compare EEGs associated with neutral and negative images. Results: During looking for visual disgusting stimulus, all participants reported unpleasantness, arousal and stress. In sLORETA analysis, the decrease of current density in theta wave was shown at left frontal superior gyrus (BA10) and middle gyrus (BA10, 11). This voxel cluster consists of a total of 11 voxels and the threshold of t value indicating statistically significant decreases in the current density (p<0.05) was -1.984. There were no differences between male and female in the degree of being disgusted by the stimuli. Conclusion: This finding may suggest that the activation of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex might be associated with regulating disgust emotion.
