This paper describes a multi-physics analysis of a high resolution winding type resolver and rotary transformer using FEM (Finite Element Method). The rotary transformer boosts the input voltage to a high voltage which can be input into the rotor windings of the resolver. Through multi-physics models of the transformer and resolver, the characteristics of the output signals for the resolver system with high resolution can be derived. Moreover, the circuit model of the interface part between the transformer and resolver should be considered, because of the calculation of the input current to the resolver. The winding type resolver is composed of 32x and 1x stator windings for high resolution. Then, the output signals of the stator windings, which make sinusoidal SIN and COS waves with a $90^{\circ}$ phase difference, are verified.

In this paper, the subthreshold swing has been analyzed for double gate FinFET under channel length of 20nm. The analytical current model has been developed, including thermionic current and tunneling current models. The potential distribution by Poisson equation and carrier distribution by Maxwell-Boltzman statistics are used to calculate thermionic emission current, and WKB(Wentzel-Framers-Brillouin) approximation to tunneling current. The cutoff current is obtained by simple adding two currents since two current is independent. The subthreshold swings by this model are compared with those by two dimensional simulation and two values are good agreement. Since the tunneling current increases especially under channel length of 10nm, the characteristics of subthreshold swing is degraded. The channel and gate oxide thickness have to be fabricated as thin as possible to decrease this short channel effects and this process has to be developed. The subthreshold swings as a function of channel doping concentrations are obtained.

본 연구에서는 분자선 에피택시 (MBE)법으로 성장된 InAs submonolayer quantum dot (SML-QD)을 태양전지에 응용하여 광학 및 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 양자점 태양전지(quantum dot solar cell, QDSC)의 구조는 n+-GaAs 기판 위에 n+-GaAs buffer와 n-GaAs base layer를 차례로 성장 한 후, 활성영역에 InAs/InGaAs SML-QD와 n-GaAs spacer layer를 8주기 형성하였다. 그 위에 p+-GaAs emitter, p+-AlGaAs window layer를 성장하고 ohmic contact을 위하여 p+-GaAs 를 성장하였다. SML-QD 구조의 두께는 0.3 ML 이며, 이때 SML-QD의 적층수를 4 stacks 으로 고정하였다. SML-QD 와의 비교를 위하여 2.0 ML크기의 InAs자발 형성 양자점 태양전지(SK-QDSC)과 GaAs 단일 접합 태양전지 (reference-SC)를 동일한 성장조건에서 제작하였다. PL 측정 결과, 300 K에서 SML-QD의 발광 피크는 SK-QD 보다 고에너지에서 나타나는데(1.349 eV), 이것은 SML-QD가 SK-QD보다 작은 크기를 가지기 때문으로 사료된다. SML-QD는 single peak를 보이는 반면, SK-QD는 dual peaks (1.112 / 1.056 eV)을 확인하였다. SML-QD의 반치폭(full width at half maximum, FWHM)이 SK-QD에 비하여 작은 것으로 보아 SML-QD가 SK-QD보다 양자점 크기 분포의 균일도가 높은 것으로 해석된다. Illumination I-V 측정 결과, SML-QDSC의 개방 전압(VOC) 과 단락전류밀도(JSC)는 SK-QDSC의 값과 비교해 보면, 각각 47 mV와 0.88 mA/cm2만큼 증가하였다. 이는 SK-QD보다 상대적으로 작은 크기를 가진 SML-QD로 인해 VOC가 증가되었으며, SML-QD가 SK-QD 보다 태양광을 흡수할 수 있는 영역이 비교적 적지만, QD내에 존재하는 energy level에서 탈출 할 수 있는 확률이 더 높음으로써 JSC가 증가한 것으로 분석 된다.

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a kind of nondestructive testing technique that obtains the internal resistivity distribution from the voltages measured at the electrodes located outside the area of interest. However, an image reconstruction problem in EIT has innate non-linearity and ill-posedness, so that it is difficult to obtain satisfactory reconstructed results. In general, a neural network can efficiently model the input and output relationships of a non-linear system. This paper proposes a method for estimating the position and size of a circular target using a multi-layer neural network. To verify the performance of the proposed method, neural network was trained and various computer simulations were performed and satisfactory performance was verified.

X-rays used for diagnosis have a continuous energy distribution. However, photons with low energy not only reduce image contrast, but also contribute to the patient's radiation exposure. Therefore, clinics currently use filters made of aluminum. Such filters are advantageous because they can reduce the exposure of the patient to radiation. However, they may have negative effects on imaging quality, as they lead to increases in the scattered dose. In this study, we investigated the effects of the scattered dose generated by an aluminum filter on medical image quality. We used the relative standard deviation and the scatter degradation factor as evaluation indices, as they can be used to quantitatively express the decrease in the degree of contrast in imaging. We verified that the scattered dose generated by the increase in the thickness of the aluminum filter causes degradation of the quality of medical images.

We have investigated the experiments in which fabrication and characterization of single-electron transistors were conducted due to easy fabrication and high functionality. In the Fe-MgF2 granular film, in which Fe grains are distributed between insulators instead of the conventional quantum dots, it can be easily fabricated by EB deposition alone, and various output values can be expected by applying two or more gate voltages. The tunneling thickness of the film for single-electron operation was investigated and it was confirmed that the tunneling occurred at 2.1 nm.

The flow analyses around the wing of airplane installed with winglet or sharkelt were carried out in this study. At the model without winglet, it can be seen that the air flows beside the wing and the flow is concentrated at the end of wing. At the model of winglet or sharklet, the pressure on the bottom of the wing happens to be lower in the wide area than for model without winglet. At the analysis result, the air flowing next to the wing can be seen to go over and rotates over the main wing. The model with the sharklet shows that the flow rate is the fastest. In case of model with sharklet, it is thought that the maximum total pressure of flow is distributed at the bottom of the wing, which can further improve the lift force of the wing. It is thought that the analysis results in this study on the air flow due to the configuration of aircraft edge wing can be helped at its convergent research.

This paper contributed to the understanding of the effect of the blade relative position on performance of micro gravitational vortex turbine in free water surface. In a constant vortex flow, the rotation, voltage and current of micro vortex water turbine were measured according to the position change of the blade installed at the relative vortex height (y/h_v) ranging from 0 to 0.778 below the free water surface. The flow rate ranged from 0.0063 to 0.00662 m³/s. The results of the experiments showed that relative positions of the blade affected the performance of vortex water turbine because the distributions of incoming flow velocity and turbulence intensity were changed. The highest amount of the energy generated by the vortex water turbine occurred in the relative vortex height ranging from 0.111 to 0.222. The output power at the relative vortex height of 0.111 was about 2.4 times larger than the relative vortex height of 0.588 below the free water surface.

In this study, electric field analysis was conducted for each process as a preliminary step in the design of the electrospinning device to apply the electrospinning PVDF nanofibers to increase the filtering effect of insect screens. In the electrospinning analysis using a single nozzle, it was confirmed that there was a decrease in the electrostatic field strength as the tip's size decreased, an increase in the voltage, and no effect depending on the TCD distance. In addition, it was confirmed that the closer the distance between tips, the more electric field interference occurs, and this was found to have a more significant effect on the tip located in the center with tips on both sides. Therefore, based on these analytical results, it is believed that an increase in production speed can be expected by establishing an efficient process line by confirming the radiating area of the collector and designing the spacing between multi-nozzles through actual experiments.

In this research, we evaluated the performance and characteristics of carbon supported PtM (M = Ni and Y) alloy catalysts (PtM/Cs) synthesized by a modified polyol method. With the PtM/Cs employed as a catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) of cathodes in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), their catalytic and ORR activities and electrical performance were investigated and compared with those of commercial Pt/C. Their particle sizes, particle distributions and electrochemically active surface areas (EAS) were measured by TEM and cyclic voltammetry (CV), while their ORR activity and electrical performance were explored using linear sweeping voltammetries with rotating disk electrodes and rotating ring-disk electrodes as well as PEMFC single cell tests. TEM and CV measurements show that PtM/Cs have the compatible particle size and EAS with Pt/C. When it comes to ORR activity, PtM/C showed the equivalent or better half-wave potential, kinetic current density, transferred electron number per oxygen molecule and $H_2O_2$ production(%) to or than commerical Pt/C. Based on results gained by the three electrode tests, when the PEMFC single cell tests were carried out, the current density measured at 0.6 V and maximum power density of PEMFC single cell adopting PtM/C catalysts were better than those adopting Pt/C catalyst. It is therefore concluded that PtM/C catalysts synthesized by modified polyol can result in the equivalent or better ORR catalytic capability and PEMFC performance to or than commercial Pt/C catalyst.
