We investigated the characteristics of surface roughness evaluation using phase-measuring interferometer for a few ten $\AA$ and sub $\AA$-rough substrates. The influence of phase averaging and intensity averaging on the roughness measurement by phase measuring interferometer was investigated and the optimal number of phase and intensity averaging for the least measurement error was searched. For a few ten $\AA$-rough sample, roughness value did not depend so much on the data averaging. Whereas, measurement error for sub $\AA$-rough sample was significantly improved as the number of phase and intensity averaging increased. At the phase averaging of 30 and the intensity averaging of 20, roughness value that measurement error was minimized was obtained, and it was in good agreement with that by optical heterodyne interferometer. Roughness measurement at the optimal data averaging showed also good repeatability error less than 0.01$\AA$.

Remote sensing technique is based on the estimation of land surface characteristics from the measurement of the emitted radiation from the earth. The hydrologically related parameters studied using this approach include surface temperature, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, precipitation and snow. This study introduces a method for estimating moisture content of a bare soil from the observed and simulated brightness temperature. In a bare soil, microwave emission depends on moisture content, soil temperature, and surface roughness. The method is based on a radiative transfer model with some modifications of Fresnel reflection coefficient to take into account the effect of surface roughness. One smooth bare field and two fields with different surface roughness are prepared for the study. The results indicate that the effect of surface roughness is to increase the soil's brightness temperature and to reduce the slope of regression between brightness temperature and moisture contents.

In the field of aircraft icing prediction, surface roughness has been considered as critical factor because it enhances convective heat transfer and changes local collection efficiency. For this significance, experimental studies have been conducted to acquire the quantitative data of the formation process. Meanwhile, these experiments was conducted under low-speed condition due to the measurement difficulties. However, it has not been investigated that how the flow characteristic of low-speed will effects to the surface roughness. Therefore, the present study conducted experiment under low-speed icing condition, and analyzed the relation between surface roughness characteristics and icing condition. As an analysis method, the dominant parameters used in the previous high-speed experiments are employed, and roughness characteristics are compared. The size of roughness element was consistent with the previous known tendency, but not the smooth zone width.

Objective: The surface roughness of orthodontic materials is an essential factor that determines the coefficient of friction and the effectiveness of tooth movement. The aim of this study is to evaluate the surface roughness change of the brackets and wires after experimental sliding quantitatively. Methods: Before and after experimental sliding tests, the surface roughness of stainless steel brackets, ceramic brackets, stainless steel wires, and beta-titanium (TMA) wires were investigated and compared using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Results: After sliding tests, changes in the surface of the wire were greater than changes in the bracket slot surface. The surface roughness of the stainless steel bracket was not significantly increased after sliding test, whereas the roughness of ceramic brackets was decreased. Both the surface roughness of stainless steel and TMA wires were increased after sliding test. More changes were observed on the ceramic bracket than the stainless steel bracket. Conclusions: AFM is a valuable research tool when analyzing the surface roughness of the brackets and wires quantitatively.

The surface management of metals was performed with a tool microscope or surface roughness measurement instruments. These methods were not efficient for checking the surface status of the die in the production field. For this reason, an analysis system or measurement system to monitor the wear, defects and surface status as a die ages is required. This study, developed surface analysis software for automatic analysis and standardization of a die or processed products. Software was designed to measure the basic features, such as circles, dots, and lines. The captured images were rendered as three-dimensional representations so that the depth of the grooves on the die and segmental profiles could be estimated. As a result of experimental analysis, the surface roughness was measured with an accuracy more than 93.2%, and the maximum deviation in the surface roughness for the brightness of the lighting was within $3{\mu}m$. The confidence in the device's precision was assured. These results show quality control through efficient surface analysis.

최근 자연모사를 통한 초저마찰 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며 리소그라피, 레이져 가공법 등의 다양한 방법을 통해 표면구조 제어가 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자장여과 아크 플라즈마 이온 소스를 이용한 WC-Co 및 SCM 415 금속소재의 표면구조 형상제어를 통해 저마찰 특성을 시도하였다. 자장여과 아크 소스는 90도 꺽힘형이며 5개의 자장 코일을 통해 아크 음극에서 발생된 고밀도($10^{13}\;cm^{-3}$ 이상) 플라즈마를 표면처리 대상 기판까지 확산시켰다. 공정 압력은 알곤가스 1 mTorr, 아크 방전 전류는 25 A, 플라즈마 수송 덕트 전압은 10 V이다. 기판 전압은 비대칭 펄스 (-80 %/+5 %)로 -600 V에서 -800 V까지 인가되었으며 -600 V 비대칭 펄스 인가시기판으로 입사하는 알곤 이온 전류 밀도는 약 $4.5\;mA/cm^2$ 이다. WC-Co 시편의 경우 -600 V 전압 인가시, 이온빔 처리 전 46.4 nm(${\pm}12.7\;nm$)의 조도를 갖는 시편이 5분, 10분, 20분동안 이온빔 처리함에 따라 72.8 nm(${\pm}3\;nm$), 108.2 nm(${\pm}5.9\;nm$), 257.8 nm(${\pm}24.4\;nm$)의 조도를 나타내었다. SCM415 시편의 경우 -800 V 인가시, 이온빔 처리 전 20.4 nm(${\pm}2.9\;nm$)의 조도를 갖는 시편이 20분동안 이온빔 처리함에 따라 275.1 nm(${\pm}43\;nm$)의 조도를 나타내었다. 또한 주사전자현미경을 통한 표면 형상 관찰 결과, 이온빔 식각을 통해 생성된 거친 표면에 $3-5\;{\mu}m$ 직경의 돌기들이 산발적으로 생성됨을 확인했다. 마찰계수 측정 결과 SCM415 시편의 경우, 이온빔 처리전 마찰계수 0.65에서 조도 275.1 nm 시편의 경우 0.48로 감소하였다. 본 연구를 통해 이온빔 식각을 이용한 금속표면 제어 및 저마찰 특성 향상의 가능성을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 304 STS을 전해연마하여 표면의 조도를 나노 단위까지 제어하기 위한 leveller의 개발이 목적이다. 이를 위해서 AFM을 이용하여 조도를 측정하였고 분극실험을 통해 표면특성을 연구하였다. 전해연마는 인산:황산:증류수를 8:1:1 비율로 전해액을 만들었고 부가적으로 첨가제를 넣어 전해연마를 실행했다. 분극실험은 일정한 전극간격을 유지하여 정전압 조건에서 1mV/s의 속도로 주사하여 실험하였다. 전해연마 시간이 증가함에 따라, 첨가제의 양이 적게 들어갈수록 평활도가 향상됨을 볼 수 있었다.
