Hydrogen is in the world limelight for future energy source, and it has been already used in various industry fields including aerospace. The extremely fine molecule of the hydrogen can be easily leaked from tiny size of the crack on the surface of transporting pipes or storage tanks, and it could bring on awfully terrible disaster. In this study, Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) was employed to develope a reliable detection scheme for a small quantity of hydrogen leakage. Effect of three different metal substrates (i.e. Al, Cu, SUS) on plasma generation and the intensity of the hydrogen atomic signal was investigated, and the surface damage of the substrates due to repetitive laser shots was observed using Scanning electron microscope. It was also evaluated how the surface damage could distort the atomic signal. The intensity of the atomic signal was found to be the strongest, and the signal distortion due to the surface damage was approximately $100W/m^2$ lower when Al was used for the substrate.

In this paper, we propose an electric field enhanced postexposure baking (EFE-PEB) method to obtain deep and high aspect ratio pattern profile in near-field recording. To describe the photoacid distribution under an external electric field during the PEB, we derived the governing equations based on Fick's second law of diffusion. From the results of the numerical calculations, it is found that the vertical movement of photoacid increases while the lateral movement is stationary as electric field varies from 0 to $8.0{\times}10^6\;V/m$. Also, it is proven that the profile of near-field recording is improved by using the EFE-PEB method with increased depth, higher aspect ratio and larger sidewall angle.

Global solar radiation consists of direct and diffuse radiations. Both components are necessary for not only atmospheric science and solar energy domains but also agricultural applications. In this study, the data of direct and diffuse radiations are uploaded to Github. It was observed in Naju during May 2019 to November 2020. Using this data, the previous empirical equations using the relation between clearness index and diffuse ratio were validated. All coefficients of determination (R²) and RMSE were similar as 0.79~0.80 and 0.13~0.15. However, to get the lower RMSE, other non-linear approaches will be required with more observation data.

Many actions against climate change have been taken to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions at home and abroad. As of 2007, the GHGs emitted from buildings accounted for about 23 % of Korea's total GHGs emission, which is the second largest GHG reduction potential following industry. In this study, we introduced Carbon Zero Building (CZB), which was constructed by the National Institute of Environmental Research to cut down GHGs from buildings in Korea, and evaluated the main applied technologies, the amount of energy load and reduced energy, and economic values for CZB to provide data that could be a basis in the future construction of this kind of carbon-neutral buildings. A total of 66 technologies were applied for this building in order to achieve carbon zero emissions. Applied technologies include 30 energy consumption reduction technologies, 18 energy efficiency technologies, and 5 eco-friendly technologies. Out of total annual energy load ($123.8kWh/m^2$), about 40% of energy load ($49kWh/m^2$) was reduced by using passive technologies such as super insulation and use of high efficiency equipments and the other 60% ($74.8kWh/m^2$) was reduced by using active technologies such as solar voltaic, solar thermal, and geothermal energy. The construction cost of CZB was 1.4 times higher than ordinary buildings. However, if active technologies are excluded, the construction cost is similar to that of ordinary buildings. It was estimated that we could save annually about 102 million won directly from energy saving and about 2.2 million won indirectly from additional saving by the reduction in GHGs and atmospheric pollutants. In terms of carbon, we could reduce 100 ton of $CO_2$ emissions per year. In our Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis, the Break Even Point (BEP) for the additional construction cost was estimated to be around 20.6 years.

Zn-Air energy storage cell is an attractive type of batteries due to its theoretical gravimetric energy density, cost-effective structure and environmental-friendly characteristics. The chargeability is the most critical in various industrial applications such as smart portable device, electric vehicle, and power storage system. Thus, it is necessary to reduce large overpotential of oxygen reduction/evolution reaction, the irreversibility of Zn anode, and carbonation in alkaline electrolyte. In this review, we try to introduce recent studies and developments of bi-functional air cathode, enhanced charge efficiency via modification of Zn anode structure, and blocking side reactions applying hybrid organic-aqueous electrolyte for high power density rechargeable Zn-Air energy storage cells.

In this study, we propose the structure of color glass for BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic System) and develop process technology to realize it. It was verified through computer simulation based on wave optics that two different kinds of metal oxide thin films with different refractive indices could be integrated to realize different colors with good transmittance. To fabricate the structure, we used RF Magnetron deposition method to achieve the target thickness uniformly. The optical analysis of the samples was carried our by comparing with the results of computer simulations and it was found that this technique can be stably implemented on lab scale. The stability test over weeks was confirmed at room temperature. This method is expected to be very useful in BIPV buildings.

차세대 디스플레이에서 3차원 감성 터치 또는 플렉시블 기판 등에 사용되고 있는 ITO(Tin-doped Indium Oxide) 박막은 고 해상도 및 소자 효율 향상을 위해 전 가시광 영역에서 높은 투과율이 요구되고 있다. 일반적으로 ITO 박막은 두께 감소에 따라 빛의 두께 산란 없이 전 가시광 영역에서 높은 투과율을 가지는 반면, 두께가 감소할수록 박막 성장 시 비정질 기판의 영향을 크게 받아 박막 결정성 감소와 더불어 전기전도성이 감소되는 경향을 보인다. 특히, 매우 얇은 두께에서의 ITO 박막 물성은 초기 박막 핵 생성 및 성장과 증착 공정 중에 발생하는 고 에너지 입자(산소 음이온, 반사 중성 아르곤 등)의 박막 손상에 대한 영향을 크게 받을 뿐만 아니라 ITO 박막 내의 SnO2 도핑함량에도 매우 의존한다. 따라서, 매우 얇은 두께에서 높은 투과율과 뛰어난 전기전도성을 동시에 가지는 고품질 ITO 초박막 제조를 위해서는 박막 초기 핵 성장 제어기술 및 SnO2 함량에 따른 ITO 초박막의 전기적, 광학적 거동에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 SnO2 함량에서 고품질의 ITO 초박막을 DC/RF 중첩형 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 박막 증착 중에 발생하는 고에너지 입자의 기판충격으로 인한 박막손상을 최소화하여 증착된 박막의 전기적, 광학적 특성 및 미세구조를 관찰하였다. 그리고 전체파워에서 RF/(RF+DC) 비율을 제어하여 증착한 ITO 초박막의 물성을 최적화 하였으며, 상온 및 결정화 온도 이상에서 다양한 SnO2 함량을 가진 ITO 박막을 두께(150 nm, 25 nm)에서 각각 증착하여 전기적, 광학적 거동 및 XRD를 통한 박막의 미세구조 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 그리고 증착된 모든 ITO 초박막에서 가시광 투과율은 빛의 두께 산란 없는 높은 투과율(>85 %) 을 보이는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 증착된 ITO 박막의 전기적 특성 및 미세구조는 RF/(DC+RF)비율 50%에서 최적임을 확인하였다. 이는 RF/(DC+RF) 비율 증가에 따른 캐소드 전압 최적화로 박막의 초기 핵 성장 과정에서 기판상의 고에너지 입자로 인한 박막 손상의 감소 및 리스퍼터 되는 산소량을 최적화 시키고, 이는 박막의 결정성 향상으로 이어져, 박막내의 결함 밀도 감소 및 SnO2 고용 효율을 증가시켜 전기전도성 향상에 기인하였다고 판단된다. 또한, 증착된 ITO 초박막은 SnO2 함량 변화에 따라 박막의 결정성 및 전기적 특성에서 미세한 변화를 보였다. 이러한 ITO 박막의 물성변화는 박막 두께 감소에 따른 결정성 감소와 함께 SnO2의 고용 한계 변화로 인한 것으로 판단된다. 또한, RF/(DC+RF) 비율의 증가에 따른 ITO 초박막의 전기적, 광학적 및 미세구조는 Vp-Vf의 변화와 관련하여 설명되어 진다.

현삼과(Scrophulariaceae)에 속하는 긴산꼬리풀(Veronica longifolia L.)은 벽자색의 긴 꽃이 총상화서로 달려 청량감을 자아내어 분화소재로 이용한다면 단조로운 실내의 분위기를 환기할 수 있다. 따라서, 조경 및 관상용 식재에 용이한 긴산꼬리풀의 재배는 2018년 5월 15일에 파종하여 생산된 유묘를 2018년 7월 16일에 정식하여 2018년 10월 15일까지 수행하였다. 기비실험은 코트비료(싱싱코트)를 포트당 0, 10 및 20알 처리하였다. 추비는 hyponex (N-P-K, 4-6-6)를 4주 간격으로 총 3회 각 0, 1000 및 $2000mg{\cdot}L-1$로 엽면시비 하였다. 광량 실험은 무차광, 55 및 75% 차광막을 설치하여 수행하였다. 왜화제 종류 및 농도 실험은 dinizonazole(빈나리)과 daminozide (B-9)를 각 0, 1000 및 $2000mg{\cdot}L-1$ 농도로 처리하였으며, 적심처리는 4주차에 1회 처리 유무를 달리하였다. 모든 실험의 공통사항은 플라스틱 10호 화분에 원예상토를 충진한 후 200구 트레이에 종자를 셀당 4립씩 파종하여 생산된 유묘를 정식하였다. 연구의 결과, 기비처리는 초장, 마디수, 엽수가 증가하고, 절간장 및 측지수를 감소시켰으나, 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 추비 처리는 농도가 높을수록 엽수가 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, $2000mg{\cdot}L-1$에서 무처리에 비해 유의적으로 많았다. 차광정도에 따른 긴산꼬리풀의 생육은 무차광 조건에서 생육이 가장 양호하였다. 차광률이 증가할수록 전반적인 생육이 억제되고, 개화율도 크게 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 왜화제 처리별로는 종류에 관계없이 전반적인 생육이 억제 되었다. Diniconazole 및 daminozide의 농도가 높을수록 초장이 억제되는 경향을 보였으나, 측지수, 마디수, 엽수도 감소하여 관상적 이용에 적합하지 않다. 적심을 할 경우 전반적인 생육은 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았으며, 측지수가 감소하였다. 따라서, 긴산꼬리풀의 분화생산을 위한 재배기술은 기비는 처리하지 않고, 추비는 $2000mg{\cdot}L-1$로 시비하며, 광이 충분한 곳에서 재배하는 것이 효과적이다. 또한, 왜화제와 적심은 일반적으로 줄기신장을 억제하고 마디수와 엽수를 증가시켜 관상적 이용효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있지만 본 연구에서는 반대의 결과를 보여 처리 하지 않는 것이 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.
