GaInZnO는 투명 비정질 산화물 반도체로서 태양전지, 평판 액정 디스플레이, 잡음방지 코팅, 터치 디스플레이 패널, 히터, 광학 코팅 등 여러 응용에 쓰인다. 이 논문에서는 투명전자소자로 관심을 모으고 있는 GaInZnO의 전자적 그리고 전기적 특성을 측정하였다. GaInZnO 박막은 $SiO_2$ (100)/Si 기판위에 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 증착법으로 $Ga_2O_3:In_2O_3:ZnO$의 조성이 2:2:1로 된 타겟을 가지고 박막을 성장시켰다. 성장한 후에 RTP를 이용하여 30분간 열처리 하였다. GaInZnO의 전자적 특성을 나타내는 띠틈 및 실리콘 기판과의 원자가 띠 오프셋 값을 측정하였으며, 이 값들을 통해 GaInZnO박막과 실리콘 기판과의 띠 정렬도 수행하였다. 띠틈은 반사 전자 에너지 손실 분광법(REELS)을 이용하여 측정하였고, 원자가 띠 오프셋은 광전자 분광법(XPS)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 열처리 온도가 $400^{\circ}C$까지는 띠틈의 변화 및 XPS 결합에너지의 변화가 없는 것으로 보아 열적안정성이 우수함을 알 수 있다. 반면 $450^{\circ}C$에서의 띠틈이 감소하는 것으로 보아 $450^{\circ}C$에서는 열적안정성이 깨지는 것을 알 수 있다. GaInZnO 박막을 채널 층으로 하고 전극은 알루미늄(Al)으로 된 TFT를 제작하여 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. TFT 특성 결과 이동도가 약, subthreshold swing(S.S)이 약 1.5 V/decade, 점멸비가 약 $10^7$으로 측정되었다. 유리 위에 증착시킨 GaInZnO 박막의 투과율을 측정해본 결과 모든 시료가 가시광선 영역에서 80%이상의 투과율을 갖는 것으로 보아 투명전극소자로 응용이 가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

열전재료는 열에너지를 전기에너지로 또는 전기에너지를 열에너지로 직접 변환하는데 가장 널리 사용되는 재료이다. $Bi_2Te_3$계 열전 재료는 400K 이하의 비교적 저온 영역에서 높은 성능지수(Dimensionless Figure of merit, ZT($={\alpha}2{\sigma}T/{\kappa}$, ${\alpha}$: 제백계수, ${\sigma}$: 전기전도도, T: 절대온도, ${\kappa}$: 열전도도))를 나타내는 열전재료이며 자동차 시트나 정수기 등에 응용되고 있다. 열전모듈은 제조시 수십 개에서 수백 개 이상의 n형 및 p형 열전소자를 알루미나($Al_2O_3$)와 같은 세라믹 기판(substrate) 상에 접합된 동 전극 위에 전기적으로 서로 직렬로 접합시켜 제조한다. 기존의 열전모듈의 제조방법에는 동 전극 위에 위에 Sn합금 분말과 플럭스(flux)의 혼합물인 솔더페이스트를 스크린 인쇄법을 사용하여 동 전극에 도포한 다음, 그 위에 열전소자를 얹고 약 520K의 열풍을 가하여 솔더를 용융시켜 열전소자와 동 전극을 접합시킨다. 스크린 인쇄법에서는 인쇄 압력이 일정하지 않으면, 솔더페이스트 층의 두께가 균일하지 않게 되어 열전소자 접합부의 불량을 유발시킨다. 그러나 열모듈은 단 하나의 접합 불량이 모듈 전체의 열전변환성능에 심각한 영향을 줄 수 있기 때문에 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 솔더페이스트를 도포하지 않고 열전소자를 직접 동 전극과 접합할 수 있는 방법을 고안하였다. 무전해도금을 이용한 니켈층을 형성시킨 $Bi_2Te_3$계 열전소자 표면에 약 $50{\mu}m$의 주석도금층을 전기도금법을 구사하여 형성시켰다. 그 후, wire cutting을 통하여 $3mm{\times}3mm{\times}3mm$의 크기로 절단한 주석도금된 열전소자를 동 전극에 얹고 1.1KPa의 압력을 가하면서 523K의 핫플레이트 위에서 3분간 방치하여 직접(direct) 열압착 접합을 실시하였다. 접합부의 단면을 SEM을 이용하여 관찰한 결과, 동 전극과 열전소자 사이의 계면에 용융 후 응고된 주석층이 결함없이 균일하게 형성된 양호한 접합부를 관찰할 수 있었다. 따라서, 솔더페이스트를 이용하지 않고, 열전소자 표면에 주석도금을 실시한 후, 동 전극과 직접 열압착 본딩을 실시하는 방법은 균일한 접합계면을 얻을 수 있는 새로운 공정으로 기대된다.

We compared methodologies based on the density functional theory (DFT), e.g., time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT), TD-DFT within Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA-DFT), and spin-unrestricted DFT (UDFT), that are usually employed to optimize the geometries of ${\pi}$-conjugated molecules in their lowest lying triplet excited ($T_1$) state. As a model system for ${\pi}$-conjugated molecules, we employed 1,2,3,4,5-pentacyano-6-phenyl-benzene. In conjunction with 6-31G(d) basis sets, we made use of gap-tuned range-separated ${\omega}B97X$ functional which is often employed recently in the calculations of molecular excited states. Near the equilibrium geometries, we found that the important difference between the geometries derived at UDFT level and those at TD-DFT or TDA-DFT methods: more stable ground-state energies but higher triplet excitation energies for UDFT derived geometries. In the studies, we discuss such differences in more detail.

In this paper the kinematics of damage for finite elastoplastic deformations is introduced using the fourth-order damage effect tensor through the concept of the effective stress within the framework of continuum damage mechanics. Unlike the approach of strain equivalence or energy equivalence, which is applicable only to small strains, the proposed kinematic description provides a relation between the effective strain and the damage elastoplastic strain in finite deformation. This is accomplished by directly considering the kinematics of the deformation field both real configuration. The proposed approach shows that it is equivalent to the hypothesis of energy equivalence at finite strains. The damage effect tensor in this work is explicitly characterized in terms of a kinematic measure of damage in the elastoplastic domain through a second-order damage tensor.

Purpose: This study was conducted to search for the type of technical error in DEXA(dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) and the effect of error to measurement of BMD. Materials and Methods: The changes of BMD($g/cm^2$, T-score) by patients information(Age, Weight, Height, Manopause age) input error and Confirming ROI error were investigated. Using spine phantom, we canned 10 times by age(5, 10), weight(10, 20 kg), height(5, 10 cm), manopause age(5, 10) increase & decrease respectively. Scanning region(L-spine, femur, Forearm) of 10 patients was calculated by changing ROI respectively. Analysis of difference for mean(precision 1%) were carried out. Results: The error of patient information(Age, Weight, Height, Manopause age) was not changed differently. In confirming ROI, the BMD and T-score of L-spine involving T-12 was decreased to $0.063\;g/cm^2$, 0.3 and involving L-5 increased to $0.077\;g/cm^2$, 0.5. In narrowing 1 cm of vertical line of ROI, the BMD and T-score decreased to $0.006\;g/cm^2$, 0.1 and in 2 cm, $0.021\;g/cm^2$, 0.15, each. In hip ROI, Upper and left shift(0.5 cm) of line was not influenced BMD and T-score. In 0.5 cm lower shift(lesser trochanter below), the BMD and T-score increased $0.031\;g/cm^2$, 0.3 and in 1 cm $0.094\;g/cm^2$, 0.65, each. In forearm ROI, the BMD and T-score decreased $0.042\;g/cm^2$, 0.9 involving 1 cm lower wrist. And expanding 1 cm of vertical line, the BMD and T-score decreased $0.008\;g/cm^2$, 0.1 and in 2 cm, $0.021\;g/cm^2$, 0.3, each. The L-spine, hip, forearm ROI error was changed differently. Conclusion: There are so many kinds of technical error in BMD processing. Errors according to age, weight, height, manopause age did not influent to $BMD(g/cm^2)$ and T-score. There are mean differences BMD and T-score in confirming ROI. For the precision exam, in L-spine processing, L1-4 have to confirmed without shift of ROI vertical line.

ZnO의 나노 구조는 화학적으로 안정하고 큰 결합에너지를 가지는 성질 때문에 청색 영역에서 작동하는 광전소자의 제작에 대단히 유용하다. ZnO 나노 구조들은 화학 기상 성장법, 기상 에피텍시 성장법, 화학적 용액 성장법과 같은 여러 가지 방법으로 성장하고 있다. 여러 가지 성장방법 중에서도 전기 화학 증착법으로 성장된 ZnO의 나노 구조는 가격이 저렴하고 낮은 온도에서 성장이 가능하며 대면적화를 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 전기 화학 증착법으로 ZnO을 성장할 때 3개의 전극을 사용하여 성장하였다. ITO 기판을 음극으로 백금 전극을 양극으로 사용하였고 기준 전극은 Ag/AgCl을 사용하였다. Zinc Nitrate의 몰 농도를 변화하면서 ZnO 나노구조를 성장 하였다. 성장한 ZnO 나노구조를 $400^{\circ}C$에서 2 분정도 열처리를 하였다. 성장된 ZnO을 X-선회절장치를 분석하게 되면 (0002) 피크가 $34.35^{\circ}$에서 주되게 나타났다. 주사 전자 현미경상은 Zinc Nitrate의 몰 농도가 낮을 때 성장한 ZnO 는 나노세선 형태로 형성되었음을 보여주었다. Zinc Nitrate의 농도가 높아지게 되면 ZnO 나노구조가 나노 막대 또는 나노 접시 모양으로 변화되었다. 300 K에서 광루미네선스 스펙트럼은 형성된 나노구조가 엑시톤과 관련된 주된 피크가 Zinc Nitrate 농도에 따라 변화하게 되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 실험결과는 ZnO 나노구조의 미세구조와 광학적 성질이 Zinc Nitrate의 농도에 영향을 많이 받는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study evaluated tidal stream energy resources according to tidal flow properties around Uido off the west coast of, Jeollanam-do, South Korea. A feasibility study was first carried out through the collection of bathymetry data and tidal phase information. For this simulation, a depth-averaged 2D ADCIRC (Advanced Circulation) model for real sea situations was applied to a Finite Element Method (FEM) approach for tides given the variation of tidal current speed. Hydrodynamics were simulated with 4 major tidal constituents (M2, S2, K1, and O1) after setting up 4 observation points. From the real depth-averaged model simulation results, it was found that the spring tide Higher High Water (HHW) and tidal current speed values at the 4 observation points were about 2.2 m and 1.33 m/s, respectively. The ADCIRC model results were analyzed with reference to the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency's (KHOA) observed data for verification. Furthermore, using topographical characteristics via the Tidal Flux Method (TFM), tidal energy density distribution was calculated, indicating a maximum tidal energy density of about $1.75kW/m^2$ for the 5 assessment areas around Uido. The tidal energy density was evaluated with consideration given to topographical characteristics as well as tidal elevation and tidal current speed to determine an optimum tidal farm candidate.

An analysis method is proposed for the transient linear or nonlinear analysis of dynamic interactions between a flexible dam body and reservoir impounding compressible water under earthquake loadings. The coupled dam-reservoir system consists of three substructures: (1) a dam body with linear or nonlinear behavior; (2) a semi-infinite fluid region with constant depth; and (3) an irregular fluid region between the dam body and far field. The dam body is modeled with linear and/or nonlinear finite elements. The far field is formulated as a displacement-based transmitting boundary in the frequency domain that can radiate energy into infinity. Then the transmitting boundary is transformed for the direct coupling in the time domain. The near field region is modeled as a compressible fluid contained between two substructures. The developed method is verified and applied to various earthquake response analyses of dam-reservoir systems. Also, the method is applied to a nonlinear analysis of a concrete gravity dam. The results show the location and severity of damage demonstrating the applicability to the seismic evaluation of existing and new dams.

The boundary reaction method(BRM) is a substructure time domain method, it removes global iterations between frequency and time domain analyses commonly required in the hybrid approaches, so that it operates as a two-step uncoupled method. The BRM offers a two-step method as follows: (1) the calculation of boundary reaction forces in the frequency domain on an interface of linear and nonlinear regions, (2) solving the wave radiation problem subjected to the boundary reaction forces in the time domain. In the time domain analysis, the near-field soil is modeled to simulate the wave radiation problem. This paper evaluates the performance of the BRM according to modeling extent of near-field soil for the nonlinear SSI analysis of base-isolated NPP structure. For this purpose, parametric studies are performed using equivalent linear SSI problems. The accuracy of the BRM solution is evaluated by comparing the BRM solution with that of conventional SSI seismic technique. The numerical results show that the soil condition affects the modeling range of near-field soil for the BRM analysis as well as the size of the basemat. Finally, the BRM is applied for the nonlinear SSI analysis of a base-isolated NPP structure to demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the method.

The thermal decomposition characteristics of boron-potassium nitrate ($BKNO_3$) were investigated by non-isothermal thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Two steps of mass loss were observed in the temperature range between room temperature and $600^{\circ}C$. Kinetic parameters of the thermal decompositions were evaluated from the measured TGA curves using the AKTS Thermokinetics Software. For the first step of mass loss ($220-360^{\circ}C$) corresponding to the thermal decomposition process of the binder (Laminac/Lupersol), the activation energy is in the range of approximately 120-270 kJ/mol when evaluated by Friedman's iso-conversional method, while the value of activation energy varies in the range of approximately 150-400 kJ/mol during the second step process ($360-550^{\circ}C$).
