In this study, we prepared ZnO thin film on $SiO_2$/Si substrate by FTS (Facing Targets Sputtering) apparatus which can reduce damage on the thin film because the bombardment of high-energy Particles such as ${\gamma}$-electron can be restrained. And, properties of thin filnl grown with ZnO buffer-layer which can be suppress initial growth layer was investigated. The crystalline and the c-axis preferred orientation of ZnO thin film was also investigated by XRD. As a result, we noticed that the ZnO thin film has a good crystallographic characteristic at thickness of ZnO buffer layer 10, 20 nm and working pressure 1 mTorr.

본 연구에서는 플렉시블 GZO 단일 박막과 GZO/Ag/GZO (GAG) 다층 박막을 연속 성막이 가능한 롤투롤 스퍼터링 시스템을 이용하여 상온 공정을 통해 성막하여 그 특성을 분석 하였다. 일반적으로 고품위의 GZO 박막을 제작하기 위해서는 고온 공정이 필수적인 것으로 알려져 있으나 본 실험에서는 플렉시블 PES 기판상에 상온 공정을 통해 후 열처리 없이 고품위의 GZO, GAG 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 단일 GZO 박막은 공정 압력과 산소 유입량을 변화하여 제작하였고 GAG 다층 박막은 GZO-Ag-GZO로 이루어진 3개의 sputter gun을 이용하여 Ag 두께를 변수로 연속공정을 통해 제작하였다. 구조적, 표면석 특성 분석을 위해 XRD(X-ray diffraction), FE-SEM(Field emission scanning electron microscopy), HRTEM (High resolution electron microscopy)를 이용하였으며 광학적, 전기적 특성을 분석하기 위해 UV/Vis spectrometer, Hall effect measurement를 각각 이용하였다. 최적화된 GZO 단일 박막은 상온에서 열처리 없이 성막되었음에도 불구하고 38 ohm/sq의 낮은 저항과 86 %의 높은 투과도를 나타내었으며 GAG 다층 박막은 12 nm의 Ag 두께에서 6.4 ohm/sq의 낮은 저항과 88 %의 높은 투과율을 나타내었다. 특히 기계적 특성을 분석하기 위해 진행된 bending test에서 GAG 박막은 초기와 test 후에 저항과 표면에 변화가 없는 우수한 특성을 보였으며 이를 통해 플렉시블 태양전지와 디스플레이등 광학소자의 투명 전극으로서의 적용 가능성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Oil shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that includes organic matter called "kerogen". When the kerogen is heated at moderate temperature, petroleum-like liquids are produced through the kerogen. Although it has been reported that oil shale reserves are enormous in amount, totaling at least 2.9 trillion barrels of oil, a great deal of its reserves still remain untapped. This report presents the viability and recent state of oil shale development, which will further validate the feasibility of oil shale development as well as pertinent technology.

In this report, the process characteristic(viscosity), mechanical properties, combustion characteristics, ground and flight test results of propellants used for a rocket-assisted projectile are described according to several aluminum contents. As the aluminum content increased, initial viscosity decreased, viscosity build-up accelerated, and combustion rate and pressure exponent decreased. In the ground fire test, the total impulse of the rocket-assisted projectiles containing 10 wt% of aluminum were 5% higher than that of the rocket-assisted projectiles containing 2 wt% and 18 wt% of aluminum. The motor efficiency compared to the theoretical performance was 85.6% with 18 wt% of aluminum, the lowest value among the propellant compositions.

A simplified analytical study for micro-sized single metal particle combustion in air was conducted in the present study. The metal particle combustion consists of two distinct reaction regimes, ignition and quasi-steady burning, and the thermo-fluidic phenomena in each stage are formulated by virtue of the conservation and transport equations. When particle temperature reaches to 1200 K, ended an ignition stage and was converted at quasi-steady combustion stage. Effects of Initial particle size, convection, ambient pressure and temperature are examined and addressed with validation.

A separate type rotary engine consisting of a compressor and an expander is under development. The engine motoring, compressor pressure, and fuel combustion have been tested with the initial prototype for operability checks of the mechanism. This paper describes an engine cycle analysis method designed specifically for this new-concept engine. The unique operational mechanism of the engine and the thermodynamic properties of each step of air intake, compression, filling of combustion chamber, combustion, expansion and exhaust were analyzed. The cycle efficiencies of this engine according to various engine design parameters as well as the cooling effect of compressed air between the compressor and expander can be easily calculated with this method; further, some case studies are presented in this paper.

With the increase in the number of ICT industry workers, there is a demand for research on preventing VDT syndrome. However, existing posture correction products mostly rely heavily on cameras or sensors in wearable devices. In this paper, we have developed a posture correction system that utilizes built-in cameras and circular pressure sensors to collect posture information. Additionally, the system provides a personalized service by capturing the correct posture of the user initially and monitoring the user's posture based on that input. By precisely correcting postures during users' daily tasks, this system aims to prevent and improve VDT syndrome, ultimately enhancing the efficiency of ICT industry workers.

A reactor containment acts as a final barrier to prevent leakage of radioactive material due to the possible reactor accidents into external environment. Because of the functional importance of the containment building, the SIT(Structural Integrity Test) for containments shall be performed to evaluate the structural acceptability and demonstrate the quality of construction. An initial numerical analysis was performed to simulate the results obtained from the SIT for a prestressed concrete(PSC) structure. But the analysis results by the initial model expected smaller displacements than the measured ones by 30% at some locations. Accordingly, the research and development to improve the initial model to corelate the measured results of the SIT more properly have been performed. In this paper, the effects of the loss of concrete due to duct for tendons and the contact of duct and tendons in un-bonded tendon system are mainly evaluated based on the preliminary analysis results. In addition, the importances of the proper definition of mesh connectivity among structural elements of concrete, liner plates, rebars and tendons are discussed.

The wedge type rail clamp has the operating mechanism: First, the jaw pad clamps a rail with small clamping force Next as the wind speed increases, the clamping force of the jaw pad is increased by the wedge. In order to design the wedge type rail clamp, we need to determine the proper wedge angle to minimize the sliding distance of a roller and the proper clamping angle of a locker to generate the initial clamping force of a jaw pad. The researches for the proper wedge angle have conducted, and in this study we conducted the investigation to determine the proper clamping angle of a locker in the rail clamp with wedge angle of $10^{\circ}$. Because the initial damping force of the jaw pad was determined by the clamping angle of the locker, in order to carry out the clamping force of a jaw pad, we measured the locking force applied to a locker with respect to the clamping angle of a locker, such as $3^{\circ},\;4^{\circ},\;5^{\circ},\;6^{\circ},\;$ using a pressure gauge, and compared the results with the FEA results.
