This study reviewed terahertz technologies of time domain spectroscopy, T-ray imaging, and high rate wireless data transfer. The main topics of the terahertz research area were investigation of materials and package modules for terahertz wave generation and detection, and setup of the terahertz system for time domain spectroscopy(TDS), T-ray imaging and sub-THz wireless communication. In addition to Poly-GaAs film as a photoconductive switching antenna material, a table-top scale for the THz-TDS/imaging system and terahertz continuous wave(CW) generation systems for sub-THz data transfer and narrow band T-ray imaging were designed. Dielectric properties of ferroelectric BSTO($Ba_xSr_{1-x}TiO_3$) films and chalcogenide glass systems were characterized with the THz-TDS system at the THz frequency range. Package modules for terahertz wave transmitter/receiver(Tx/Rx) photoconductive antenna were developed.

In this paper, PCB embedded balanced-to-unbalamced duplexer using coupled LC resonator was introduced for low cost dualband WiMax front-end-module application. In order to obtain the function of bandpass filter and balun transformer, proposed duplexer was configured by using magnetically coupled LC resonator. Out-of-band suppression was enhanced by applying two m-Derived transform circuits to obtain transmission zeros at 2GHz and 4.8GHz. In order to reduce the size of embedded duplexer, BaSrTiO3 (BST) composite high Dk RCC film was applied to improve the capacitance density. This high Dk film provided the capacitance density of 12.2 pF/mm2. The simulation results shows that fabricated duplexer had an insertion loss of 2.9dB and 5.5dB and return loss of 15dB and 16dB for 2.5GHz~2.6GHz and 3.5GHz~3.6GHz, respectively. The maximum magnitude and phase imbalance were 0.01dB and 0.17dB, and 1degree and 2degree in its passband, respectively. The out-of-band suppression was observed approximately 29dB and 40dB below 1.9GHz and over 4.5GHz, respectively. It has a volume of 6 mm $\times$ 7 mm $\times$ 0.7 mm (height).

We studied the trapped field properties of bulk Y-Ba-Cu-O superconductors by applying 3 T of the permanent or $Nb_3Ti$ superconducting magnet. The 28 mm circular type of YBCO bulk superconductor was prepared and then hole at the center of bulk, parallel to the c-axis, was mechanically drilled. Typical size of hole in YBCO bulk was 10 mm in diameter. In order to examine the trapped field variation in terms of different impregnated materials, a hole in YBCO bulk was filled with resin and indium respectively. The trapped field decay due to flux flow was determined in terms of time. Our preliminary result indicates the trapped field value measured on the YBCO without hole after 30 minute by applying 3 T, was 6,500 G, which is much higher than that, 4,500 G, measured on YBCO with hole. Also, we confirmed that the tendency of a trapped field decrement with time was almost the same regardless of the impregnated materials in YBCO.

The alumina substrates that Ni electrode was printed on and the multi-layered PTCR thermistors of which composition is $(Ba_{0.998}Ce_{0.002})TiO_3+0.001MnCO_3+0.05BN$ were fabricated by a thick film process, and the effect of re-oxidation temperature on their resistivities and resistance jumps were investigated, respectively. Ni electroded alumina substrate and the multi-layered PTC thermistor were sintered at $1150^{\circ}C$ for 2 h under $PO_2=10^{-6}$ Pa and then re-oxidized at $600{\sim}850^{\circ}C$ for 20 min. With increasing the re-oxidation temperature, the room temperature resistivity increased and the resistance jump ($LogR_{290}/R_{25}$) decreased, which seems to be related to the oxidation of Ni electrode. The small sized chip PTC thermistor such as 2012 and 3216 exhibits a nonlinear and rectifying behavior in I-V curve but the large sized chip PTC thermistor such as 4532 and 6532 shows a linear and ohmic behavior. Also, the small sized chip PTC thermistor such as 2012 and 3216 is more dependent on the re-oxidation temperature and easy to be oxidized in comparison with the large sized chip PTC thermistor such as 4532 and 6532. So, the re-oxidation conditions of chip PTC thermistor may be determined by considering the chip size.

White-light-emitting ZnS:Mn, Cu, Cl phosphors with spherical shape and the size of $20\;{\mu}m$ are successfully synthesized. They have the double phases of cubic and hexagonal structures. They are applied to electroluminescent (EL) devices by silk screen method with the following structure: $electrode/BaTiO_3$ insulator layer ($50{\sim}60\;{\mu}m$)/ ZnS:Mn, Cu, Cl phosphor layer ($30{\sim}50\;{\mu}m$)/ITO glass. The EL devices are driven with the voltage of 100 V and the frequency of 400 Hz. The EL devices show the three emission peaks. The blue and green emission bands are originated from $CICu^{2+}$ transition and $ClCu^+$ transition, respectively. The yellow emission band results from $^4T^6A$ transition of $Mn^{2+}$ ion. As an increase of Cu concentrations, the blue and green emission intensities decrease whereas the yellow emission intensity increases; the quality becomes warm white. It is due to the energy transfer from the blue and green bands to the yellow band.

PTCR 세라믹스를 적층형 부품으로 제조할 경우 소형화, 저 저항화 및 과전류 유입 시 빠른 응답특성을 갖는다는 장점을 가지고 있으며, 이러한 적층형 부품제조시에는 내부전극재가 부품소자의 물성에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 특히 우수한 옴성 접촉(Ohmic Contact)을 갖는 Zn, Fe, Sn, Ni 등의 적층 PTC용 전극재는 높은 산화특성으로 인해 재산화 과정에서의 비옴성 접촉(Non-ohmic contact)을 갖게 되어 PTC 특성을 저하시킬 우려가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 적층형 PTCR 세라믹스의 내부전극재와 반도체 세라믹층의 동시소성거동 및 적층 PTCR 세라믹스의 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에 적용된 내부전극재로는 Ni 전극을 사용하였고, Ni 전극용 paste로는 무공제 paste, 반도체 세라믹공제 paste, $BaTiO_3$ 공제 paste의 3종 전극재가 이용되었다. 적층형 PTCR 세라믹스의 제조공정은 테이프 캐스팅(Tape casting), 내부전극인쇄, 적층 및 동시소성을 포함하는 적층화공정을 적용하였다. 각각의 전극 paste를 적용하여 제조된 chip은 미세구조관찰, I-V특성, R-T특성 등을 평가하여 내부전극내 세라믹공제의 영향을 고찰하였다.

Piezoelectric energy harvesting technologies, which can be used to convert the electricity from the mechanical energy, have been developed in order to assist or power the wearable electronics. To realize non-toxic and biocompatible electronics, the lead-free (Ba_0.85Ca_0.15)(Ti_0.90Zr_0.10)O₃ (BCTZ) nanoparticles (NPs) are being studied with a great attention as flexible energy harvesting device. Herein, piezoelectric hybrid nanocomposites were fabricated using BCTZ NPs-embedded poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] matrix to improve the performance of flexible energy harvester. Output performance of the fabricated energy device was investigated by the well-optimized measurement system during the periodically bending and releasing motions. The generated open-circuit voltage and the short-circuit current of the piezoelectric hybrid nanocomposite-based energy harvester reached up to ~15 V and ~1.1 ㎂, respectively; moreover, the instantaneous power of 3.5 ㎼ is determined from load voltage and current at the external load of 20 MΩ. This research is expected to cultivate a new approach to high-performance wearable self-powering electronics.

Capacitive-type humidity sensors with a high sensitivity and fast response/recovery times have attracted a great attention in non-contact respiration biological signal monitoring applications. However, complicated fabrication processes involving high-temperature heat treatment for the hygroscopic film is essential in the conventional ceramic-based humidity sensors. In this study, a non-toxic ceramic/metal halide (BaTiO₃(BT)/NaCl) humidity sensor was prepared at room temperature using a solvent-free aerosol deposition process (AD) without any additional process. Currently prepared BT/NaCl humidity sensor shows an excellent sensitivity (245 pF/RH%) and superior response/recovery times (3s/4s) due to the NaCl ionization effect resulting in an immense interfacial polarization. Furthermore, the non-contact respiration signal variation using the BT/NaCl sensor was determined to be over 700% by maintaining the distance of 20 cm between the individual and the sensor. Through the AD-fabricated sensor in this study, we expect to develop a non-contact biological signal monitoring system that can be applied to various fields such as respiratory disease detection and management, infant respiratory signal observation, and touchless skin moisture sensing button.

We have grown large area BSTO($(Ba_{1-x}Sr_x)TiO_3$) thin films (x=0.4) on 2 inch diameter MgO (001) single crystal substrates using a pulse laser deposition(PLD) system. Substrate temperature and oxygen pressure in the deposition chamber, and the laser optics for ablating a target have been controlled to obtain the uniform thickness and preferred orientation of the films. Results of x-ray diffraction and rocking curve analysis revealed that the BSTO films were grown on MgO substrates with a preferred orientation (002), and the full width half maximum of the rocking curve was measured to be 0.86 degree at optimum condition. Roughness of the films have been measured to be $3.42{\AA}$ rms by using atomic force microscopy. We have successfully deposited the large area BSTO thin films of $4000{\AA}$ thickness on 50 mm diameter MgO substrates.

경주 황남대총 남분에서 출토된 서역계 유리제품의 미세 단편(무색, 녹청색 및 감청색) 36점 각각에 대한 두께, 비중 및 기포 크기를 측정하고, 10종의 주요성분 및 13종의 미량성분 함량 데이터를 사용하여 색깔별로 유리편을 특성화하였다. 주요 성분중에서 MgO와 $K_2O$의 함량은 로마계유리 및 사산계유리를 구별하는 지표가 되는 산화물로서 본 분석을 통하여 황남대총 남분의 유리제품이 어떤 계통인지 분류하였다. 유리편은 모두 소다유리($Na_2O-CaO-SiO_2$)이며 용융제, 안정제 및 발색제의 특성에 따라 뚜렷이 분류되었다. 구성 성분 간의 상관관계가 높은 원소의 조합은 (MgO, $K_2O$), (MnO, CuO) 이었다. 또한 13종(Rb, Sr, Ba, Zr, Cr, Ni, Cs, Pb, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ti)의 미량성분 함량은 색깔별로 무색, 녹청색 및 감청색 유리를 확연히 분류할 수 있어 향후 서역계 유리의 제작 원료 및 제작지를 정교하게 연구하는 데 중요한 원소들임을 알 수 있다. 무색(반투명)유리 : 비중은 $1.50{\pm}0.04$이며 내부에 원형 및 타원형의 기포들이 일정한 방향으로 길게 나열되어 있고 큰 것은 길이가 0.35mm 정도이다. 무색유리는 소다유리이면서 CaO 및 $Al_2O_3$ 농도 각각 5%를 기준으로 보면 HCLA(High CaO, Low $Al_2O_3$)이며 MgO 및 $K_2O$ 농도가 1.5 %이상인 HMK(High MgO, High $K_2O$)이다. 소다의 원료로서 식물 재를 사용하였으며 HMK이므로 사산계유리로 판단된다. 무색유리에서 착색제로 작용하는 성분의 총합은 1 %이하로서 그 값이 적어 유리의 색상에 관여도가 매우 적다고 할 수 있다. 녹청색(반투명)유리 : 비중 $1.58{\pm}0.06$이며 내부에 0.1~0.2mm 정도의 작은 기포가 분포하고 있다. 소다유리로서 HCLA이며 HMK로 분류된다. 따라서 이 녹청색 유리도 소다의 원료로서 식물 재를 사용한 것으로 생각되며 사산계유리로 판단된다. 녹청색을 내는 착색제로 작용하는 성분의 총합은 약 4%이며 MnO, $Fe_2O_3$ 및 CuO의 작용에 의한 것이다. 감청색유리 : 비중 $1.48{\pm}0.19$이며 내부에 기포가 거의 없다. 이 유리는 HCLA이며 LMK(Low MgO, Low $K_2O$)로 분류된다. 이 감청색 유리는 소다의 원료로서 광물(natron)을 사용한 것으로 로마계유리의 특성을 잘 나타낸 제품이다. 녹청색을 내는 착색제로 작용하는 성분의 총합은 약 3%로서 $Fe_2O_3$, CuO 및 Co가 그 역할을 한 것으로 보인다. 국내에서 출토된 서역계 유리제품이 실크로드를 경유해 동아시아로 유입되고 어떻게 한국 남부에 까지 오게 되었는지, 그 제작지는 어디인지에 대한 논의가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 황남대총의 유리제품을 물리 및 화학적으로 특성화한 결과이며 향후 국내 또는 국외에 있는 서역계 유리제품의 제작지 및 유통경위를 추적할 수 있는 과학적 지표가 될 것이다.
