The purposes of this research are to know the optimal gab and electric pressure (voltage) of electrode-plates coated with activated carbon and also to study their arrangement through dust removal efficiency. From the experimental results of attached dust mass at different electrode-plate gab, the frequency of attachment and detachment of dust was more increased as electrode-plate gab was closer. In attached dust mass per unit area of electrode-plate, the farther electrode gab, the more increased. But in total attached dust mass, the closer electrode gab, the more removed. From the experimental results, the optimal electrode arrangement in dust removal chamber was considered that the forward parts of chamber need to be increased the number of electrode-plate, the backward parts to be increased them. The dust attachment have no relation with electric pressure while showing high removal efficiency under condition of 5 kV of voltage and 2 cm of electrode-plates gab.

본 연구에서는 포토레지스트 코팅과 전기도금 기술을 이용하여 3차원 갭을 가지는 전극을 제작하였다. 3차원 갭은 마이크로 전극이 배열된 하층과 벌크전극이 놓여진 상층으로 구성되었다. 갭의 크기는 하층 전극에 코팅된 포토레지스트의 두께와 하층 전극의 높이 차이로 결정되며, 코팅 두께가 다른 포토레지스트 ($3.5{\mu}m$, $1.25{\mu}m$)의 사용과 전기도금 기술을 병용하여 3차원 갭의 크기를 줄일 수 있다 (~150 nm). 제작한 3차원 갭 소자의 상 하층 전극에 각각 산화, 환원 전압을 인가함으로써, 유입된 ferricyanide의 redox cycling 을 유도 할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 본 연구의 결과는 원자힘현미경 (AFM), 주사전자현미경 (SEM), 순환전압전류법 (CV) 및 시간대전류법 (CA)을 통해 분석 되었다.

This paper proposes a new improved lumped element equivalent circuit analysis method to analyze withdrawal weighted SAW resonators of irregular electrode configurations, which enables to calculate the frequency response of withdrawal weighted SAW resonators. This method has led to the derivation of Smith equivalent circuit's y-parameters for a single ground electrode and formulated the resonator's admittance by calculating the total current into an IDT assembly. To illustrate the effectiveness of the technique, this method was applied to the design of a simple ladder filter and the change of the filter performance was investigated in relation to the weighting of the series and parallel resonators, respectively. The results shows that the withdrawal weighted resonator ladder filters provide better performance in their bandwidth and transition characteristics than normal ones. This new equivalent circuit analysis method can also serve as a better tool to design and analyze general SAW resonator filters.

In order to build a general model of a high-throughput uranium electrorefining process according to the electrode configuration, numerical analysis was conducted using the COMSOL Multiphysics V5.3 electrodeposition module with Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) interfaces. The generated model was validated by comparing a current density-potential curve according to the distance between the anode and cathode and the electrode array, using a lab-scale (1kg U/day) multi-electrode electrorefiner made by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). The operating temperature was $500^{\circ}C$ and LiCl-KCl eutectic with 3.5wt% $UCl_3$ was used for molten salt. The efficiency of the uranium electrorefining apparatus was improved by lowering the cell potential as the distance between the electrodes decreased and the anode/cathode area ratio increased. This approach will be useful for constructing database for safety design of high throughput spent nuclear fuel electrorefiners.

본 연구에서는 최초로 TFT-LCD의 단위 화소 내에 존재하는 화소 및 각종 전극간 저항 성분을 총 소비전력으로부터 엄정하게 계산하였다. 단위 화소 내의 총 소비전력은 3차원적 액정의 분자배열 분포에 대하여, 전류 연속방정식을 만족하는 전위 분포로부터 얻어졌으며, 전위 분포의 시뮬레이션에 있어서는 유한한 크기의 복수 전극에 의한 측면 전장 효과가 고려되었다. 그 결과, 3차원적인 방법으로 계산된 정확한 화소 저항은 기존의 접근방법으로부터 얻어진 값에 비하여 무려 15% 가량 작은 것이 확인되었으며, 또한 데이터-공통 전극 및 화소-데이터 전극 간 저항 또한 무시할 수 없을 정도의 값이 나타남을 확인하였다.

The angular electrostatic microactuator using skewed electrode array (SEA) scheme was proposed. The moving and fixed electrodes are arranged to make the driving force perpendicular to the rotating moment of arm. By changing the electrode overlap length, the magnitude of electrostatic force and stable displacement will be changed. In order to optimize the design, electrostatic FE analysis were carried out and the empirical force model was established for SEA. Simulation was performed to make the comparison between conventional actuators and SEA. The proposed SEA generates actuating torque 2 times greater than a comb-drive and stable actuator displacement 40% greater than a parallel plate type actuator. The angular electrostatic microactuator using skewed SEA scheme was designed and fabricated using SoG process.

Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a traditional and representative geophysical method for determining the resistivity distributions of surrounding soil and rock volumes. Depth resolution profiles and sensitivity distribution sections of the resistivities with respect to various electrode configurations are calculated and investigated using numerical model data. Shallow vertical resolution decreases in the order of Wenner, Schlumberger, and dipole-dipole arrays. A high investigable depth in homogeneous medium is calculated to be 0.11-0.19 times the active electrode spacing, but is counterbalanced by a low vertical resolution. For the application of ERT depth resolution profiles and sensitivity distributions, we provide subsurface structure models for two types of land-creping failure (planar and curved), subvertical fracture, and weathered layer over felsic and mafic igneous rocks. The dipole-dipole configuration appears to be most effective for mapping land-creeping failure planes (especially for curved planes), whereas the Wenner array gives the best resolution of soil horizons and shallow structures in the weathered zone.

Carbon electrodes for capacitive deionization were fabricated through mixing two different carbon powders (activated carbon powder, carbon black) with different particle sizes to investigate physical or electrochemical properties and finally desalination performances of the electrodes with various compositions of two carbon powders in weight and were compared with the electrode consisting of activated carbon. As a result, the electrode structure became more packed as increasing the amount of carbon black and resulted in 10% increase in mesopore fraction. The specific capacitance obtained from cyclic voltammograms of various electrodes showed that the electrode containing carbon black only had 107.4 F/g, while the specific capacitance of the electrode having more amount of carbon black increased and was higher than the one having no carbon black. The results of desalination runs in a capacitive deionization cell exhibited that the electrode having the highest amount of carbon black (1 wt%) in this study had the highest desalting efficiency, and no significant pH variation was observed during the runs. It was analyzed using accumulated charge that the fraction of non-Faraday current increased as the amount of carbon black increased in the electrodes. It can be concluded that the addition of carbon black changed the electrode structure resulting in an increase in the fraction of mesopore and finally enhanced the desalting efficiency by decreasing Faraday current.

Since weak Bones or geological lineaments are likely to be eroded, there may develop weak Bones beneath rivers, and a careful evaluation of ground condition is important to construct structures passing through a river. DC resistivity method, however, has seldomly applied to the investigation of water-covered area, possibly because of difficulties in data aquisition and interpretation. The data aquisition having high quality may be the most important factor, and is more difficult than that in land survey, due to the water layer overlying the underground structure to be imaged. Through the numerical modeling and the analysis of a case history, we studied the method of resistivity survey at the water-covered area, starting from the characteristics of measured data, via data acquisition method, to the interpretation method. We unfolded our discussion according to the installed locations of electrodes, ie., floating them on the water surface, and installing them at the water bottom, because the methods of data acquisition and interpretation vary depending on the electrode location. Through this study, we could confirm that the DC resistivity method can provide fairly reasonable subsurface images. It was also shown that installing electrodes at the water bottom can give the subsurface image with much higher resolution than floating them on the water surface. Since the data acquired at the water-covered area have much lower sensitivity to the underground structure than those at the land, and can be contaminated by the higher noise, such as streaming potential, it would be very important to select the acquisition method and electrode array being able to provide the higher signal-to-noise ratio (S/N ratio) data as well as the high resolving power. Some of the modified electrode arrays can provide the data having reasonably high S/N ratio and need not to install remote electrode(s), and thus, they may be suitable to the resistivity survey at the water-covered area.
