Pyroelectric properties of the $Pb(Zr_{0.9}Ti_{0.1})O_3$ ceramics having the rhombohedral structure have been studied by using the dynamic measurement method. The pyroelectric responses of the $Pb(Zr_{0.9}Ti_{0.1})O_3$ ceramics are characterized in both low and high medulation frequency regions and their frequency depences are observed. In the low frequency region (2~200Hz), the change of polarization increases and shows the maximum since the reorientation rate of domains is higher than the modulation frequency. Inthe high frequency region (200~2000Hz), the pyroelectrci response decreases as the frequency increases, because the reorientation of domains is suppressed and so the change of polarization decreases. Pyroelectric coefficient, figure of merit, noise equivalent power and detectivity of the $Pb(Zr_{0.9}Ti_{0.1})O_3$ ceramics are measured as $1.6{\times}10^{-8}C/cm^2{\cdot},\;1.6{\times}10^{-11}C{\cdot}cm/J,\;2.4{\times}10^{-7}W/Hz^{1/2}\;and\;4.17{\times}10^6cm{\cdot}Hz^{1/2}/W$, respectively.

The frequency dependence of the pyroelectric characteristics of $LiTaO_3$ have been investigated by using the dynamic method. In the frequency range between 2 and 1000 Hz, they are measured in both the regimes of pyroelectric current ($R_L=1M{\Omega}$) and pyrelectric voltage ($R_L=17.3G{\Omega}$), which can be selected by adjusting the value of the load resistance. Pyroelectric coefficient depending on the voltage response in the regime of pyroelectric current shows the maximum value of $1.56{\times}10^{-8}C/cm^2{\cdot}K$ at 40 Hz. The maximum values of figures of merits for the voltage response and for the detectivity are measured as $10.8{\times}10^{-11}C{\cdot}cm/J$ and $13{\times}10^{-7}C{\cdot}cm/J$, respectively. The voltage responsivity depending on the voltage response in the regime of pyroelectrci voltage shows the maximum value of 488 V/W at 2 Hz. Noise equivalent power and detectivity shows the minimum value of $3.95{\times}10^{-10}W/{\sqrt}Hz$ and maximum value of $5.6{\times}10^8cm{\cdot}{\sqrt}Hz/W$ at 40 Hz, respectively.

Since the fiber reinforced polymeric (FRP) composites are considered in next generation of space transportation systems, reliable thermal expansion properties should be well provided for structural design of composite materials. To obtain accurate mechanical behaviors at a cryogenic temperature, precise strain measurement and calibration must be provided. In this work, apparent strains (or thermal output) of temperature self-compensated strain gages were deliberately investigated for epoxy, CTBN modified epoxy and carbon fabric composite system from room temperature to liquid nitrogen temperature. Also, fourth-order thermal output curves were presented for the further calibration. The results showed that the thermal output is heavily dependent on test materials and a large amount of apparent strains were observed for the polymer resins.

The PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) thin film having P phase is prepared by the vacuum deposition with applying the electric field and its pyroelectric properties are studied by using a dynamic method to examine the possibility of the application to the pyroelectric IR sensor. The pyroelectric responses of the PVDF thin film are characterized as the frequency dispersion in both low and high modulation frequency regions, and their frequency dependences are observed. In the low frequency region (2~10Hzz), the polarization can easily rotate with the increase of modulation frequency and show the maximum since the reorientation rate of domains is higher than the modulation frequency. On the other hand, in the high frequency region (100~1000Hz), the pyroelectric response decreases as the frequency increases, because the reorienatation rate of domains is suppressed and thus, the change of polarization decreases. Pyroelectric coefficient, figure of merits for noise equivalent power and detectivity of the PVDF thin film are measured as 3.2$\times$10$^{-10}$ C/$\textrm{cm}^2$.K, 2.34$\times$10$^{-10}$ C.cm/J and 1.32$\times$10$^{-9}$ C.cm/J, respectively. Also, the noise equivalent and the detectivity are 1.66$\times$10$^{-7}$ W/H $z^{$\sfrac{1}{2}$}$, 6.03$\times$10$^{5}$ cm.H $z^{$\sfrac{1}{2}$}$W, respectively.

$PbTiO_3$/P(VDF/TrFE) 0~3 composites thin films with 0.10 and 0.13 of ceramic volume fraction factor have been fabricated by two-step spin coating technique and analyzed. 0~3 connectivity of $PbTiO_3$/P(VDF/TrFE) composites film was observed successfully by SEM micrography. The SEM picture confirmed 0~3 connectivity. And, in all the properties, 0~3 $PbTiO_3$/P(VDF/TrFE) composites film was superior to P(VDF/TrFE) copolymer. Therefore, with a good low-dielectric constant and a high pyroelectric coefficient, the composite thin films can be used for a new pyroelectric infrared sensor of higher performance.

High temperature superconducting (HTS) power cable requires forced sub-cooled LN2 flow cooling. Liquid nitrogen is circulated by a pump and cooled back by cooling system. Typical operating temperature range is expected to be between 65 K and 77 K. The HTS power cable needs sufficient cooling to overcome its low temperature heat load. For successful cooling, the hydraulic characteristics of the HTS power cable must be well investigated to design the cables. Especially, the pressure drop in the cable is an important design parameter, because the pressure drop decides the length of the cable, size of the coolant circulation pump and circulation pressure, etc. This paper describes measurement and investigation of the pressure drop of the cooling system. In order to reduce the total pressure drop of the cooling system, the flow rate of liquid nitrogen must be controlled by rotational speed of the circulation pump.
