In this work, we describe the synthesis and infrared light reflecting characteristics of $TiO_2$/mica hybrid composites. $TiO_2$/mica composite materials were obtained by the hydrolysis and condensation reaction of titanium isopropoxide in an aqueous solution of acetic acid in the presence of mica particles. Amorphous phase of $TiO_2$ on the surface of mica was converted to the crystalline rutile phase via anatase phase by heat treatment ($600-1000^{\circ}C$, 1-3 h) of $TiO_2$/mica composite materials, and the size of crystals was controlled by heat treatment conditions. Physicochemical properties of mica and $TiO_2$/mica composites were investigated using FE-SEM, ED-XRF, and PXRD. The solar reflectance of $TiO_2$/mica composites in the near IR region (780~2,500 nm) measured using a diffuse reflectance NIR spectrophotometer was 88.6%, which is rather higher than that of calcined pure mica (86.6%). Therefore, $TiO_2$/mica composites can be used as NIR light reflective pigments.

Recently, as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), communication, and signal surveillance missions of spacecraft have become more advanced, research has been actively conducted on the deployable large mesh antenna system with excellent storage efficiency compared to the deployment area, and light weight. Deployable Mesh antennae are characterized by an increase in the number of Openings Per Inch (OPI), which is a measure of mesh weaving density as the mission frequency band increases, and this OPI change directly affects the thermal optical properties of the mesh antenna, so research on this is required. In this paper, to verify the thermal relationship between the optical properties of the mesh and antenna reflector, thermal sensitivity analysis between the mesh and the antenna reflector is performed by in-orbit thermal analysis with various optical characteristics of the mesh based on existing overseas research cases. In addition, the temperature gradient effect of the mesh reflector is analyzed.

Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO)는 가시광 영역(380~780 nm)에서 높은 투과율과 적외선영역에서 높은 반사율을 보이는 투명산화막으로서 Flexible display 적용으로 주목 받는 재료이다. 특히 비 화학적 양론비(non-stoichiometric)로 성장된 박막은 N형 반도체 특성을 갖기 때문에 광전자 소자, 액정표시소자와 태양전지의 투명전극 재료로 이용되고 있으며, 향 후에도 수요는 계속 증가될 전망이다. 일반적으로 IZO 박막은 높은 열처리 온도에 의한 기판재료의 선택이 한정적인 단점이 있다. 따라서 최근에는 정밀하게 제어된 에너지를 가진 전자를 표면에 조사(E-beam irradiation)하여 박막의 물성을 개선하고 기판재료의 선택성을 넓히는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다 [1]. 본 연구에서는 RF Magnetron Sputtering 법을 이용하여 Glass 위에 IZO를 증착하였다. 스퍼터링타겟은 고순도 IZO 타겟을 이용하여 100 nm의 두께를 가지는 박막을 증착하였다. 증착된 IZO 박막에 E-beam Source ((주)인포비온)를 이용하여 E-beam irradiation energy 조건에 변화를 주어 박막의 물성 변화를 관찰하였다. IZO 박막의 두께를 측정하기 위해 SEM (Cross section)을 이용하였다. E-beam irradiation energy에 따른 가시광 영역(380~780 nm)에서의 광투 과도는 UV-Vis spectrometer를 사용하여 측정하였고, 전기적인 특성은 Hall measurement system 을 이용하여 측정하였다. 또한 박막의 결정성과 거칠기의 변화는 XRD (X-ray Diffraction)와 원자 간력현미경(Atomic Force Microscope; AFM)을 이용하여 측정하였다. Rf magnetron Sputtering 법을 이용하여 증착한 IZO 박막에 Post E-beam irradiation이 전기전도 및 광 투과특성과 결정성과 표면 조도를 향상시키는데 크게 기여함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Uniform and optimum sized silver nanoplates were synthesized through the liquid phase reduction method by using silver nitrate solution as a starting chemical, dimethylformmide (DMF) as a reducing solvent, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as reducing and surfactant agents. Synthesized and also film samples were characterized by using SEM, TEM, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy, particle size analyzer (PSA), and XRD. Triangle nanoplates with the size of 100~200 nm were found from the sample synthesized at $70^{\circ}C$ for 72 h using silver nitrate, DMF and 26 wt% PVP. The sample could reflect near-infrared light because it showed the maximum absorbing peak at about 1,000 nm. When the content or particle size of silver nanoplates increased in coating solutions, the transmittance decreased and the reflectance increased in film samples.

지구 온난화와 화석 연료의 고갈이 심각해지면서 청정 에너지원으로서 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 더욱 고조되고 있다. 신재생에너지 분야의 핵심기술의 하나인 태양전지의 여러 응용분야 중에서 건물 일체형 태양전지의 발전 가능성이 특히 높게 평가되고 있다. Si 계 박막 태양전지 내에 금속 산화물 계 선택적 투과막을 적용하면 선택적으로 적외선영역을 광흡수층으로 반사시키므로 건물 일체형 태양전지에 적용이 가능한 높은 변환효율의 투명 태양전지를 제조할 수 있다. 최근 연구 결과에 의하면 AlTiO 선택적 투과막의 투과율은 표면 평탄도에 의존하며, 타겟에 인가되는 전력을 감소시킴으로써 reactive co-sputtering 시 발생하는 아크 방전을 억제하면 AlTiO 박막의 평탄도가 개선된다는 사실이 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 AlTi single 타겟을 이용하여 AlTiO 박막을 형성함으로써 박막 표면을 더욱 개선시켜 가시광선 영역의 투과율을 향상시킨 결과를 보고한다.

Air pollution and artificial heat of urban areas have caused the urban heat island in which asphalt pavements absorb solar heat during the daytime and release the heat at night. Hence, in order to improve the environment of urban areas, it is necessary to examine cooling pavements that can reduce heat on road pavements in urban areas. The application of temperature insulation paints on road pavements require to reduce black brightness for visibility, to increase the reflection rate of infrared light and minimize the reflection rate of visible light. In the study, one part of Acrylic-emulsion was used as a main binder, and the changes in black brightness and the changes of addition ratio (0%, 15%, 30%) of hollow ceramics, as well as kinds of paints (carbon black pigment, mixed mineral pigment) were selected as the main experimental factors. The performance of temperature reduction of cooling pavements was analyzed through the reflection rate of spectrum, the reflection rate of solar heat, and the lamp test. Abrasion resistance, UV accelerated weather resistance, and sliding resistance were tested in real situations. In addition, the performance of heat reduction of testing pavements covered with high-reflection paints was analyzed by using an infrared camera. As the test results, when using mixed mineral paints and hollow ceramic of 30%, the reflection rate of spectrum was 43% in the area of near-infrared ray and 17% in the area of visible light at black brightness of $L^*$=42.89 and the reflection rate of solar heat was 27.5%. Total color difference was ${\Delta}E$=0.27 in the test of UV Accelerated Weather Resistance, indicating almost no changes in color. BPN was more than 53 when scattering #2 and #4 silica sand of more than $0.12kg/m^2$. In Taber's abrasion resistance test, abrasion loss was up to 86.4mg at 500 rotations. The performance of heat reduction was evaluated using an infrared camera at the test section applying high-reflection paints to asphalt pavements, in which the results showed that the temperature was reduced by $12.7^{\circ}C$ on CI-30-40 cooling pavements ($L^*$=38.76) and by $14.2^{\circ}C$ on CI-30-60 cooling pavements ($L^*$=57.12).

This study was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of ground-based remote sensing for the estimation of rice yield and application rate of N-fertilizer during growing season. Dongjin-1, Korean cultivar of rice was planted on May 30, 2006 and harvested on October 9, 2006. Chlorophyll content and LAI (leaf area index) were measured using Minolta SPAD-502 and AccuPAR model LP-80, respectively. Reflectance indices were determined with passive sensors using sunlight and four types of active sensors using modulated light, respectively. Reflectance indices and growth rate were measured three times from 29 days to 87 days after rice plating and at harvesting day. The result showed that values of growing characteristics and reflectance indices were highly correlated. Growing characteristics to show significant correlation with reflectance indices were in order of followings: fresh weight > N uptake > dry weight > height > No. of tiller > N content. Chlorophyll contents measured by chlorophyll meter (SPAD 502) showed high correlation with nitrogen concentration (r=$0.743^{**}$), although the correlation coefficients between remote sensing data and nitrogen concentration were higher. LAI was highly correlated with dry weight (r=$0.931^{**}$), but relationship between LAI and nitrogen concentration (r=$0.505^*$) was relatively low. The data of CC-passive sensor were negatively correlated with those of the near-infrared. NDVI correlation coefficients found more useful to identify the growth characteristics rather than data from single wavelength. Both passive sensor and active sensor were highly significantly correlated with growth characteristics. Consequently, quantifying the growth characteristics using reflectance indices of ground-based remote sensing could be a useful tool to determine the application rate of N fertilizer non-destructively and in real-time.

과학기술위성 3호의 주탑재체인 MIRIS (Multi-purpose InfraRed Imaging System) 적외선우주관측카메라의 인증모델이 조립을 마치고 현재 성능시험이 진행 중이다. MIRIS 적외선광학계는 구경 80mm의 광시야(f/2) 굴절식 망원경으로서, 총 5매의 렌즈로 구성되어 있다. 렌즈들은 S-FPL53, S-TIH6, Fused Silica 등의 재료를 사용해 가공되었으며, MIRIS 관측 파장대역($0.9\sim2.0{\mu}m$)에서 투과율이 극대화되도록 반사억제 코팅이 적용되었다. MIRIS 광학계 및 광기계부 설계에 있어서의 주요 고려사항은, 1) 상온에서 조립된 상태에서 발사 시 위성체가 받는 충격과 진동을 견뎌낼 것, 그리고 2) 발사 후 위성 궤도상에서의 복사냉각을 통해 180K로 열수축된 상태에서 최적의 광학성능을 발휘할 것 등이다. 이러한 설계 개념을 바탕으로 MIRIS 광학계를 제작하였으며, 조립된 인증모델은 진동시험 및 열진공시험을 통과하였다. 이 발표에서는 MIRIS 적외선우주관측카메라 광학계의 인증모델 제작 과정과 부품별 시험, 그리고 조립 후 상온 및 저온성능시험 결과에 대하여 논의 한다.

Recently, the authors have developed a new material test system fur thin film at the high temperature. It is so compact and precise with sub micron resolution that it seems to be a useful tool fur research of the oxide film growth, its mechanical behavior and failure mechanism. To this end. in this paper three methologies are described for in-situ monitoring of the displacement & strain and the temperature, the oxide thickness. These are the Laser Speckle analysis with digital image correlation technique, the two-color infra-red thermometer and the laser reflection interferometry respectively. The calibration results and some issues which should be addressed for practical application are presented.
