In order to protect the solar cells from the moisture and oxygen, we evaluated the electrical and optical properties for the $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (CIGS) solar cells which were prepared by the spray coating method. Generally, the EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) films are laminated to protect the CIGS flexible solar cells, which results in a high cost process due to complicated devices. In this study, we tried to prepare the protection layers of the flexible CIGS flexible solar cells by using spray coating method instead of conventional laminating films in order to reduce the device weight as well as the process time. The CIGS solar cells with spray coating method showed an enhanced efficiency than the before treated sample (2.77% to 2.93%) and relatively proper water vapor transmission rate of the solar cells about 62.891 gm/[$m^2-day$].

The power of semiconductor laser diodes has been limited primarily by the heating effects which occur at high optical intensities. The actual limiting event can take one of a number of forms such as. catastrophic optical damage or filamentation. A general approach to this problem is to design a heterostructure which creates a high powered output while maintaining low internal optical intensities. A graded index separate confinement heterostructure (GRIN-SCH) is one such structure that accomplishes the above task. Here, the active region is sandwiched between graded index layers where the index of refraction increases nearer to the active layer. This structure has been shown to yield a high efficiency due to the confinement of both the optical power and carriers, thereby reducing the optical intensity required to achieve higher powers. The optical confinement also reinforces the optical beam quality against high power effects. Quantum dots have long been a desirable option for laser diodes due to the enhanced optical properties associated with the zeroth dimensionality. In our work, we use PICS3D software created by Crosslight Software Inc. to simulate the performance of In0.67A10.33As/A10.2Ga0.8AsquantumdotsusedwithaGRIN-SCH. The simulation tools are used to optimize the GRIN-SCH structure for high efficiency and optical beam quality.

Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute researchers have installed and operated magnetometers at Mt. Bohyun Observatory to measure the Earth's magnetic field variations in South Korea. We, in 2007, installed a fluxgate magnetometer (RFP-523C) to measure H, D, and Z components of the geomagnetic field. In addition, in 2009, we installed a Overhauser proton sensor to measure the absolute total magnetic field F and a three-axis magneto-impedance sensor for spectrum analysis. Currently three types of magnetometer data have been accumulated. In this paper, we provide the preliminary and the first statistical analysis using the BOH magnetometer installed at Mt. Bohyun Observatory. By superposed analysis, we find that daily variations of H, D, and Z shows similar tendency, that is, about 30 minutes before the meridian (11:28) a minimum appears and the time after about 3 hours and 30 minutes (15:28) a maximum appears. Also, a quiet interval start time (19:06) is near the sunset time, and a quiet interval end time (06:40) is near the sunrise time. From the sunset to the sunrise, the value of H has a nearly constant interval, that is, the sun affects the changes in H values. Seasonal variations show similar dependences to the sun. Local time variations show that noon region has the biggest variations and midnight region has the smallest variations. We compare the correlations between geomagnetic variations and activity indices as we expect the geomagnetic variation would contain the effects of geomagnetic activity variations. As a result, the correlation coefficient between H and Dst is the highest (r = 0.947), and other AL, AE, AU index and showed a high correlation. Therefore, the effects of geomagnetic storms and geomagnetic substorms might contribute to the geomagnetic changes significantly.

The underlying advantages of using thin-walled corrugatedwebs instead of plate girders with stiffeners are the elimination of instability problems associated with buckling of the thin-walled flat plate, and elimination of the need for transverse stiffeners, which alsoresults in economic advantages. This paper focuses on two aspects related to the structural design technique forsinusoidal corrugated web steel beams, and the optimum design of the beams using real-value genetic algorithms. The structural design process and design variables used in this optimization werecomposed with EN 1993-1-5, DASt-R015 standard and Pasternak et al. (2004), and the valid design capacity of shear buckling of the standards were compared. For the optimum structural design, the objective function, presented as the fullweight of the sinusoidal corrugated web beams, and the slenderness, member forces, and maximum deflection of the beam, were considered constraints. Finally, the simple beam under the uniform load was adopted as a numerical example, and the effective probability parameters of the genetic operators were considered to find the global minimum point.

기존의 태양전지 기술은 기술 장벽이 매우 낮고 대량 생산을 통한 단가 절감하는 구조를 가지고 있어 대규모 자본을 가진 후발 기업에게 잠식되기 쉽다. 그러나, III-V족 화합물 반도체를 이용한 집광형 고효율 태양전지는 기술 장벽이 매우 높은 기술 집약 산업이므로 독자적인 기술을 확보하게 되면 독점적인 시장을 확보 할 수 있어 미래 고부가 가치 산업으로 적합하다. 특히 III-V족 화합물 반도체 태양전지는 III족 원소(In, Ga, Al)와 V족 원소(As, P)의 조합으로 0.3 eV~2.5 eV까지 밴드갭을 가지는 다양한 박막 제조가 가능하여 다양한 흡수 대역을 가지는 태양전지 제조가 가능하기 때문에 다중 접합 태양전지 제작이 가능하다. 또한 III-V 화합물 반도체는 고온 특성이 우수하여 온도 안정성 및 신뢰성이 우수하고, 또한 집광 시 효율이 상승하는 특성이 있어 고배율 집광형 태양광 발전 시스템에 가장 적합하다. Si 태양전지의 경우 100배 이하의 집광에서 사용하나, III-V 화합물 반도체 태양전지의 경우 500~1000배 정도의 고집광이 가능하다. 이러한 특성으로 III-V 화합물 반도체 태양전지 모듈 가격을 낮출 수 있고, 따라서 Si 태양전지 시스템과 비교하여 발전 단가 면에서 경쟁력을 확보할 수 있다. III-V 화합물 반도체는 다양한 밴드갭 에너지를 가지는 박막 제조가 용이하고, 직접천이(direct bandgap) 구조를 가지고 있어 실리콘에 비해 광 흡수율이 높다. 또한 터널정션(tunnel junction)을 이용하면 광학적 손실과 전기적 소실을 최소화 하면서 다양한 밴드갭을 가지는 태양전지를 직렬 연결이 가능하여 한 번의 박막 증착 공정으로 넓은 흡수대역을 가지며 효율이 높은 다중접합 태양전지 제작이 가능하다. 이에 걸맞게 본연구에서는 화학기상증착장치(MOCVD)를 이용하여 InAsP 나노선을 코어 쉘 구조로 성장하여 태양전지를 제작하였다. P-type Dopant로는 Disilane (Si2H6)을 전구체로 사용하였다. 또한 Benzocyclobutene (BCB) 폴리머를 이용하여 Dielectric을 형성하였고 Sputtering 방법으로 증착한 ZnO을 투명 전극으로 사용하여 나노선 끝부분과 실리콘 기판에 메탈 전극을 형성하였다. 이를 통해 제작한 태양전지는 솔라시뮬레이터로 측정했을때 최고 7%에 달하는 변환효율을 나타내었다.

Aluminum nitride, which has outstanding properties such as high thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity, has been received a great attention as a substrate and packaging material of semiconductor devices. Since aluminum nitride has a high sintering temperature of 2173 K and its properties depends on the impurity level, it is necessary to synthesize high-purity and nano-sized aluminum nitride powders for the applications. In this research, we synthesized high purity aluminum nitride nanopowders from aluminum using RF induction thermal plasma system. Sheath gas (NH3) flow was controlled to establish the synthesis condition of high purity aluminum nitride nanopowders. The obtained aluminum nitride nanopowders were evaluated by XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, FTIR and N-O analysis.
