The most important cause for shortening LED lighting efficiency and life is the junction temperature rises and, to solve this problem, various studies such as thermally efficient packaging, highly conductive material development, contact resistance improvement or heat sink optimization have been studied. However, most studies so far assumed that the LED lights are in the atmosphere, and thermal performance has not been therefore reported when the LED lights are mounted on the ceiling with ceiling unit. Thus, this study investigates the variation of junction temperature of the MR16 LED light under actual installation conditions and more accurate thermal design for the efficiency and life of LED lights is therefore achieved.

In this study, mercury was removed by $TiO_2$ using fluorescent light and sunlight, instead of UV lamps. A reactor was specially designed to increase the $TiO_2's$ exposure to the light source and to make the rotational speed constant. The contacting surface area between mercury and adsorbents was increased by packing the adsorption bed with mixture of $TiO_2$ and glass beads. The mercury removal efficiency was more than 99% under all light sources tested in this study. The mercury removal efficiency was more than 99% under the fluorescent light or sunlight which is harmless and cheap or free.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm that analyzes characteristic nodes to select efficient relay nodes using message distribution. Existing delay-tolerant network (DTN) routing algorithms have problems with large latency and overhead on account of the deficiency of network information in an unsteady network. We must solve this problem, predict future networks using node state information, and apply a weight factor that changes according to the message distribution. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides enhanced performance compared to existing DTN routing algorithms.

질화물 반도체는 LED, LD, Transistor, 그리고 Photodetector 등 광소자 및 전자소자를 실현할 수 있는 소재로써 최근에 각광 받고 있으며, 또한 국·내외적으로 연구가 활발히 진행되고 잇다. 질화물 발광 다이오드 제작에는 소자의 효율과 수명시간의 향상을 위하여 질화물 반도체와 금속과의 접합시 고 품질의 오믹 접합이 필수적이다. 특히 p-형 GaN의 경우에는 높은 정공 농도를 갖는 p-형 GaN를 얻기가 어렵고 GaN의 일함수에 비하여 높은 일함수를 갖는 금속이 없기 때문에 매우 낮은 접합 저항을 가지며 안정성이 매우 우수한 금 접합을 얻기가 어렵다고 알려져 있다. 또한, GaN 계열의 발광 다이오드는 일반적으로 표면 발광 다이오드 형태로 제작되기 때문에 p-형 GaN 층의 오믹 접촉으로 사용되는 금속의 전기적 특성뿐만 아니라 발광 다이오드의 활성층에서 발광되어 나오는 빛에 대한 투과도 또한 우수하여야 발광 다이오드의 효율이 우수해진다. 본 연구에서는 p-형 GaN층의 접합 금속으로 Pt(80nm)과 Ni(5nm)/Au(7nm)를 사용하여 InGaN/GaN 다중양자우물 구조의 발광 다이오드를 제작하여 전기적 특성 및 발광효율을 측정하였다. 그리고, Pt(80nm)과 p-형 GaN와의 접합시 온도 변화에 따른 전기적 특성을 TLM 방법으로 조사하고, 가시광선 영역에서의 빛에 대한 투과도를 UV/VIS spectrometer, X-ray reflectivity, 그리고 Atomic Force Microscopy 등을 이용하여 분석하였다.

A comparative study has been carried out on three silicon solar cell samples through their current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and their efficiencies. One sample is an ion-implanted cell made by our laboratory, and the other two samples are the dopant-diffused cells made by a foreign maker. The experiments have shown that both the properties of junction formation and the efficiency of each sample depend highly on the I-V characteristic of each p-n junction. The cause of incomplete properties in the ion-implanted sample has been clarified through this comparative study to be due to the various reasons such as slightly deficient surface impurity concentrations, defects induced by both the radiation and the foreign impurities, and insufficient ohmic contacts at the electrodes. The conversion efficiency of the ion-implanted sample can be figured out to be 4.2% whereas those of the other samples to be 14.3% and 8.3%, respectively.

Removal of organic substances and taste/odor control are ones of the main issues in water supply, resulting in introduction of advanced processes such as ozon/GAC, or PAC. However, raw water quality deteriorates, new pollutants advent, so water quality is not acceptable enough even with those existing advanced processes. In this paper, a new advanced water treatment process using PAC slurry blanket, where PAC particles stay in the basin as slurry blanket, coupled with submerged membranes is introduced. A pilot plant $(80m^3/day)$ was installed to assess the performance of this new process using actual raw water, and DOC was removed higher than 90% in the beginning and $70{\sim}80%$ afterwards, while 2-MIB and geosmin were removed completely. This new process still requires future study on process optimization and long-term assessment, however it seems highly possible to countermeasure as a new advanced process with high removal efficiency.

In this study, we attempted to reduce the generation of waste acids in the electropolishing process by improving the current efficiency. The optimum conditions of the electropolishing process when using the round bus bar were determined by the Taguchi method. The current density, polishing time, electrolyte temperature and flow rate were selected as the control factors for the current efficiency in the electropolishing process. An orthogonal array was created by considering three levels for each factor and experiments were carried out. The larger-the-better SN ratios were calculated by the Taguchi method. The current density was the most important factor affecting the current efficiency and the polishing time was the least important one. The optimum conditions to minimize the generation of waste acids were a current density of $45A/dm^2$, polishing time of 4 min, electrolyte temperature of $65^{\circ}C$ and flow rate of 7 L/min. The results of the ANOVA confirmed that the effects of the current density, electrolyte temperature and flow rate are significant at the 95% confidence level. The increase in the contact area and contact force afforded by using the round bus bar improved the current efficiency which, in turn, reduced the amount of waste acids generated. Further research is planned to investigate the effect of the type of bus bar on the current efficiency.

The research is intended to develop and verify a biological complex soil treatment process to treat and restore soil and groundwater which is contaminated with oil, heavy metals, and nutrients through experiments with the series of treatment process such as bioreactor, rolled pipe type of contact oxidation system(RPS), and chemical processing system. 5 microbial strains were separated and selected through experiment, whose soil purification efficiency was excellent, and it was noted that anion- and nonion-series of complex agent was most excellent as a surfactant for effectively separating oils from soils. Method to mix and apply selected microbes after treating the surfactant in the contaminated soil was most effective. The removal efficiencies of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH)-contaminated soil about 5,000mg/L and above 10,000mg/L were approximatly 90.0% for 28 days and 90.7% for 81 days by soil remediation system and the average removal efficiencies of BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, SS, T-N, and T-P in leachate were 90.6, 73.0, 91.9, 73.8, 65.7% by the bioreactor and RPS. The removal efficiency was above 99.0% by chemical processing system into cohesive agents.

As the fabrication technology of LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays) advances, the size of mother glass substrates is getting larger, and the fabrication process is becoming finer. Accordingly, the importance of cleaning processes grows in the fabrication process of LCDs. In this study, we have compared and evaluated the particle removal efficiency for three different methods of physical cleaning, which are brush, bubble jet, and aqua/air cleaning. Using the seventh generation glass substrate, the particle removal efficiency has been investigated by changing operation conditions such as a flow rate of deionized water, pressure, contact depth between a brush bristle and a glass substrate, and so forth. In the case of brush cleaning, the cleaning efficiency barely changes after a critical point when the contact depth is varied. While the cleaning efficiency of bubble jet cleaning is almost independent of pressure, that of aqua/air cleaning is affected by pressure up to a critical point, but is not changed after it. We note the brush cleaning is the most effective among the three cleaning methods under our experimental conditions.

Inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite solar cells have demonstrated considerable improvements, reaching 25.5% of certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) in 2020 from 3.8% in 2009 comparable to silicon photovoltacis. However, there remains important concern on the stability of perovskite solar cells under environmental conditions that should be solved prior to commercialization. In order to overcome the problem, we have introduced a small amount of octylammonium iodide with longer alkyl chain than volatile methylammonium iodide into MAPbI₃ perovskites. The presence of octylammonium into perovskites were confirmed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy. Moreover, octylammonium-modified perovskite solar cells showed a PCE of 16.6% and enhanced moisture stability with an increased contact angle of 72.2° from 57.0°. This work demonstrated the importance of perovskite compositional engineering for improving efficiency and stability.
