  • Novel sulfonated poly(aryl ether ketones) containing benzoxazole were directly synthesized by aromatic nucleophilic polycondensation using various ratios of 2,2'-bi[2-( 4-flurophenyl)benzoxazol-6-yl]hexafluoropropane to sodium 5,5'-carbonylbis(2-fluorobenzenesulfonate). The copolymers were soluble in polar aprotic solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and N,N-dimethylformamide at a relatively high solid composition (>15 wt%) and formed tough, flexible and transparent membranes. The membranes exhibited a degradation temperature of above $290^{\circ}C$. The exact dissolution times of these membranes at $80^{\circ}C$ in Fenton's reagent (3 wt% $H_2O_2$ containing 2 ppm $FeSO_4$) were undetectable, confirming their excellent chemical stability in fuel cell application. The membranes showed a moderate increase in water uptake with respect to increasing temperature. The proton conductivities of the membranes were dependent on the composition and ranged from $1.10{\times}10^{-2}$ to $5.50{\times}10^{-2}Scm^{-1}$ at $80^{\circ}C$ and 95% relative humidity (RH). At $120^{\circ}C$ without externally humidified conditions, the conductivities increased above $10^{-2}Scm^{-1}$ with respect to increasing benzoxazole content, which suggested that the benzoxazole moieties contributed to the proton conduction.

  • Zn 기반 산화물 반도체는 기존의 비정질 Si에 비해 저온공정에도 불구하고 높은 이동도, 투명하다는 장점으로 인해 차세대 디스플레이용 백플레인 소자로 주목받고 있다. 산화물 트랜지스터는 우수한 소자특성을 보여주고 있지만, 온도, 빛, 그리고 게이트 바이어스 스트레스에 의한 문턱전압의 불안정성이 문제의 문제를 해결해야한다. 산화물 반도체의 문턱전압의 불안정성은 유전체와 채널층의 계면 혹은 채널에서의 charge trap, photo-generated carrier, ads-/desorption of molecular 등의 원인으로 보고되고 있어, 고신뢰성의 산화물 채널층을 성장하기 위한 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 최근, 산화물 트랜지스터의 다양한 조건에서의 문턱전압의 불안정성을 해결하기 위해 산화물의 주된 결함으로 일컬어지고 있는 산소결핍을 억제하기 위해 성장공정의 제어 그리고, 산소와의 높은 binding energy를 같은 Al, Hf, Si 등과 같은 원소를 첨가하여 향상된 소자의 특성이 보고되고 있지만, 줄어든 산소공공으로 인해 이동도가 저하되는 문제점이 야기되고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 최근에는 Buried layer의 삽입 혹은 bi-channel 등과 같은 방안들이 제안되고 있다. 본 연구는 atomic layer deposition을 이용하여 AZO bureid layer가 적용된 ZnO 트랜지스터의 특성과 안정성에 대한 연구를 하였다. 다결정 ZnO 채널은 유전체와의 계면에 많은 interface trap density로 인해 positive gate bias stress에 의한 문턱전압의 불안정성을 보였지만, AZO층이 적용된 ZnO 트랜지스터는 줄어든 interface trap density로 인해 향산된 stability를 보였다.

  • In large scale superconducting rotating machine, HTS field coils are constructed with many stacks of single or double pancake coils connected in series. In spite of its higher thermal stability, HTS field coil experiences some quench, which results in some part of burn-out in the field coils. Thus in the view point of the HTS rotating machine field coil design and testing, it was very important to predict the possibility of quench occurrence in the designed field coils. In this paper, a HTS racetrack coil constructed with two single pancake coils and one double pancake coil was tested in LN2 and cooling by GM refrigerator. It is wound using the Bi-2223 tape. The experimental details and results are presented in this paper.

  • A construction process of hydrogen peroxide supply system was investigated to use hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizer of bi-propellant liquid rocket engine. To use hydrogen peroxide as a rocket propellant, it has to be in high concentration over 90%. It is very important to make the supply system free of pollutants, because highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide has a characteristic of hypersensitive reaction to pollutants such as dust and oil sludge. We suggested the cleaning and passivation process of main components to minimize pollutants of the supply system. In conclusion, we verified stability of the constructed supply system by leak test and hot test.

  • In this paper, a Optical Voltage Transformer has been designed and fabricated to improve temperature stability caused by materials properties and insulation in measuring system, using single crystal $Bi_{12}SiO_{20}$ as Pockels effect cells for Gas Insulated Switchgear[GIS] System. LD[wavelength: 850nm] was used as optical source, InGaAs as optical detector to measure optical power, Polarizing Beam Splitter as Polarizer and Analyzer, and Multi-mode Optical-fiber[62.5/$125{\mu}m$] as Light transmission line. OPT was assembled in order to pockels effect, and adopted direct electric field type. The linearity of OPT maintains variation for applied voltage range from 100V - 3000V during the test of electric property, As the temperature was changed from $25^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$. the result of this study shows that characteristics of OPT are good, and it can be reflected for practical optical sensors in GIS system.

  • We use ab initio density functional theory to determine the effect of bundling on the equilibrium structure, electronic and magnetic properties of $Mo_6S_{9-x}I_x$nanowires with x = 0, 3, 4.5, 6. Each unit cell of these systems contains two $Mo_6S_{6-x}I_x$ clusters connected by S3 linkages to form an ordered linear array. Due to the bi-stability of the sulfur linkages, the total energy of the nanowires exhibits typically many minima as a function of the wire length. We find that nanowires can switch over from metallic to semiconducting by applying axial stress. Structural order is expected in bundles with x=0 and x=6, since there is no disorder in the decoration of the Mo clusters. In bundles with other stoichiometries, we expect structural disorder to occur. We find the optimum inter-wire distance to depend sensitively on the orientation of the wires, but only weakly on x. It is also found that the electronic properties of nanowires are affected strongly due to bundling of nanowires exhibiting very unusual Fermi surfaces. Furthermore, ferromagnetic behaviors are observed in selected stable and many more unstable atomic arrangements in nanowire bundles.

  • Creep damage is one of the mosl important characteristics for the stability of high temperature structures such as huge energy converting facilities. Creep failure of Type 316LN stainless steel is highly correlated to generation and growth of the voids. In this paper, in order to investigate the correlation of creep rupture time and ultrasonic parameters (group velocity, angular velocity), creep-damaged Type 316LN specimens and measurements for the ultrasonic parameters were made. However, bi-directional measurements were applied along the load direction and the perpendicular direction to the load line by means of the contact type probe of which the central frequencies are 10MHz, 15MHz and 20MHz. Analyzing the angular velocities of the ultrasonic signals obtained from the load direction, it was confirmed that the angular velocities were declined as the creep time passed when 15MHz and 20MHz probes were used. Also, the group velocities were declined for all three frequencies as the creep time increased. Thus, positive feasibility for the creep damage evaluation by means of the angular and group velocities was confirmed. Moreover, result of analysis for the ultrasonic signal which was obtained from the perpendicular direction upon the angular and group velocities indicated little variation for both of the angular and group velocities. Therefore, the creep damage is likely to represent anisotropic itself.

  • Hanging sleepers are frequently observed in the ballasted track with the rail of high rigidity. These hanging sleepers at the high speed line could cause such large dynamic force compared to those at the conventional line. This dynamic force would, in turn, deteriorate train running stability as well as riding comfort, and accelerate irregularity of track and failure of track materials, leading to a sharp increase in track maintenance cost. When the wheel-rail contact spring exhibits nonlinear behavior and some components of the system like hanging sleeper exhibit bi-linear behaviors, an effective analytical method is proposed for train-track interactions. The verification of the present method is carried out comparing numerical results by the present method and those by Ono's method of RTRI.

  • A rotor dynamic analysis is mandatory for stability and design optimization of submerged propellers and turbines. An accurate simulation requires a proper consideration of fluid-induced reaction forces. This paper presents a bi-directional coupling of a bond graph method solver and an unsteady vortex lattice method solver where the former is used to model the rotor dynamics of the power train and the latter is used to predict transient hydrodynamic forces. Due to solver coupling, determination of hydrodynamic coefficients is obsolete and added mass effects are considered automatically. Additionally, power grid and structural faults like grid fluctuations, eccentricity or failure could be investigated using the same model. In this research work a fast, time resolved dynamic simulation of the complete power train is conducted. As an example, the rotor dynamics of a tidal stream turbine is investigated under two inflow conditions: I - shear flow, II - shear flow + water waves.

  • Most of research on environmental radioactivity is conducted in areas near nuclear power plants, so basic data about the distribution of environmental radioactivity in soil in other areas are insufficient. Therefore, in this study, divide into four categories by the land development characteristics of Incheon and the purpose of development, and confirm the stability of the Incheon through soil sample collection and gamma-ray analysis based on 40K, 137Cs and 226Ra (214Pb, 214Bi). The spectrum obtained by measuring for 80,000 seconds by using the HPGe detector was analyzed by Genie 2000 program. Soil radioactivity concentrations in urban parks of Incheon area are generally within a safe range compared to the results of the Nuclear safety and security commission. However, as 137Cs was detected in one park, which will require continuous monitoring.
