최근 단파장 광전 소자와 고출력 고주파 전자 소자에 대한 수요 때문에 넓은 밴드갭 에너지를 갖는 반도체에 관심이 많다. 이중에서, ZnO는 우수한 화학 및 역학적 안정성, 수소 플라즈마 내구성과 저가 제조의 장점 때문에 광전자 소자 개발 분야에 적합한 산화물 투명 전극으로 관심을 끌고 있다. 불순물이 도핑되지 않은 ZnO는 본질적으로 산소 빈자리 (vacancy)와 아연 격자틈새 (interstitial)와 같은 자체의 결함으로 말미암아 n형의 극성을 갖기 때문에, 반도체 소자로 응용하기 위해서는 도핑 운반자의 농도와 전도성을 제어하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 박막 제조시 제어성, 안정성과 용이하게 성장이 가능한 졸겔 (sol-gel) 방법을 사용하여 사파이어와 석영 기판 위에 Cu가 도핑된 ZnO 박막을 성장시켰으며, 그것의 구조, 표면 형상, 평균 투과율, 광학 밴드갭 에너지를 계산하였다. 특히, Cu의 몰 비를 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1 mol로 변화시키면서 ZnO:Cu 박막을 성장시켰다. ZnO:Cu 졸은 zinc acetate dihydrate, 2-methoxyethanol (용매), momoethanolamine (MEA, 안정제)을 사용하여 제조하였다. 상온에서 2-methoxyethanol과 MEA가 혼합된 용액에 zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn)을 용해시켰다. 이때 MEA와 Zn의 몰 비는 1로 유지하였다. 이 용액을 $60^{\circ}C$ 가열판 (hot plate)에서 24 h 동안 자석으로 휘젓으며 혼합하여 맑고 균일한 용액을 얻었다. 이 용액을 3000 rpm 속도로 회전하는 스핀 코터기의 상부에 장착된 사파이어와 석영 기판 위에 주사기 (syringe)를 사용하여 한 방울 떨어뜨려 30 s 동안 스핀한 다음에, 용매를 증발시키고 유기물 찌꺼기를 제거하기 위하여 $300^{\circ}C$에서 10분 동안 건조시킨다. 기판 위에 코팅하는 작업에서 부터 건조 작업까지를 10회 반복한 다음에, 1 h 동안 전기로에 장입하여 석영 기판 위에 증착된 시료는 $550^{\circ}C$에서, 사파이어 기판은 $700^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 수행하였다. Cu의 몰 비 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 1로 성장된 ZnO:Cu 박막에 대한 x선 회절 분석의 결과에 의하면, 모든 ZnO:Cu 박막의 경우에 관측된 34.3o의 피크는 ZnO (002) 면에서 발생된 회절 패턴을 나타낸다. 이것은 JCPDS #80-0075에 제시된 회절상과 일치하였으며, ZnO:Cu 박막이 기판에 수직인 c-축을 따라 우선 배향됨을 나타낸다. 사파이어 기판 위에 증착된 박막의 경우에, Cu의 몰 비가 점점 증가함에 따라(002)면 회절 피크의 세기는 전반적으로 증가하여 0.07 mol에서 최대를 나타내었으나, 석영 기판 위에 증착된 박막의 경우에는 0.05 mol에서 최대를 보였다. 외선-가시광 분광계를 사용하여 서로 다른 Cu의 몰 비로 성장된 ZnO:Cu 박막에서 광학 흡수율 (absorbance) 스펙트럼을 측정하였으며, 이 데이터를 사용하여 평균 투과율을 계산한 결과, 투과율은 Cu의 몰 비에 따라 현저한 차이를 나타내었다. Cu의 몰 비가 0.07 mol일 때 평균 투과율은 80%로 가장 높았으며, 0.03 mol에서는 30%로 최소이었다. 광학밴드갭 에너지는 Tauc 모델을 사용하여 계산하였고, 결정 입자의 형상과 크기와의 상관 관계를 조사하였다.

To optimize the shape of the electrostatic precipitator for the removal of particulate matter in subway environments, the wind-tunnel experiments were carried out to characterize collection efficiency and ozone emission rate. As a standardized parameter, power consumption divided by the square of flow velocity, was increased, the $PM_{10}$ collection efficiency increased. If the standardized parameter is higher than 1.0 due to high power consumption or low flow velocity, increase in thickness of electrodes from 1 to 2 mm, or increase in distance of collection plates from 5 to 10 cm did not change the $PM_{10}$ collection efficiency much. Increase in thickness of high-voltage electrodes, however, can cause decrease in $PM_{10}$ collection efficiency by 28% for low power consumption and high flow velocity. The ozone emission rate decreased as distance of collection plates became wider, because the ozone emission rate per unit channel was constant, and the number of collection channels decreased as the distance of collection plates increased. When the distance of collection plates was narrow, the ozone emission rate increased with the increase of the thickness of electrodes, but the difference was negligible when the distance of collection plates was wide. It was found that the electrostatic precipitator having a thin high-voltage electrodes and a narrow distance of collection plates is advantageous. However, to increase the thickness of high-voltage electrodes, or to increase the distance of collection plates is needed, it is necessary to increase the applied voltage or reduce the flow rate to compensate reduction of the collection efficiency.

The effects of HRT and effluent time on removals of pollutants in the electrochemical pilot were investigated. COD removal after 8 hour electrochemical reaction time in HRT 30 and 60 minutes were higher than that of 15 minute HRT. Turbidity removal was 90% or greater regardless of conditions during effluent time. Removals of T-N and T-P during effluent time in HRT 30 and 60 minutes were $71{\sim}74%$ and $85{\sim}98%$, respectively. To evaluate the combination of activated sludge process and continuous electrochemical as pretreatment, the removal efficiencies of pollutants was investigated. In two treatment processes of a single activated sludge system and a electrolysis pilot plus activated sludge systems, SVI and MLSS during effluent time were kept with $82{\sim}112$ and $1,230{\sim}1,750$ mg/L, respectively. COD removal was approximately 90% at early effluent time for both treatment systems, but COD removal in a single activated sludge was slightly decreased as effluent time went by, compared with the single activated sludge COD removal was slightly increased in the early stage of the electrolysis plus activated sludge system. Turbidity removal during effluent time was higher than 95% for both treatment systems. T-N removals during effluent time in a single activated sludge system and a electrolysis pilot plus activated sludge systems were $62{\sim}74%$ and $72{\sim}86%$, respectively. T-P removal in a electrolysis pilot plus activated sludge systems was increased by 9% at early effluent time and 15% after 72 hours of effluent time in compared with a single activated sludge system.

A parallel plate detector containing PTFE films in FEP film for relative dosimetry was designed to measure the response of detectors to S and 10 MV X-rays from a medical linear accelerator through different thicknesses of lead. The dielectric materials were 100 m thick. The set-up conditions for measurements with this detector were as follows: SSD=100 cm the test detector was at a depth of 5 cm and the reference chamber was at a depth of 10 cm from the phantom surface for 6 and 10 MV X-rays. Lead blocks were designed to cover the irradiated field. They were added to the tray to increase thickness sequentially. We found that the detector response decreased exponentially with the thickness of lead added. The linear attenuation coefficients of the test detector and reference chamber were 0.1414 and 0.541, respectively, for 6 MV X-rays and 0.1358 and 0.5279 for 10 MV X-rays. The test detector response was greater than that of the reference chamber. The response function was calculated from the measured values of the test detector and reference chamber using optimization. These optimized constants for the detector response function were independent of theenergy. As a result of optimizing the response function between detectors, the use of a relative dosimeter was validated, because the response of the test detector was 1% for 6 MV X-rays and 4% for 10 MV X-rays.
