  • Transient charging and discharging currents as well as space charge limited currents have been measured in biaxially stretched poly(vinylidene fluoride) film under various poling fields and temperatures. At low temperatures and short poling times, the I-V characteristics showed shallow trap behavior. When the current values extrapolated to the infinite time, the I-V characteristics indicate that the distribution of the trap energy levels is uniform or very broad. The abnormal suppression of current at higher poling voltages and the high discharge rate observed also in the same voltage range are attributed to the morphological changes due to dipole reorientation.

  • In-depth knowledge of electrode processes is crucial for determining the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In particular, the conduction mechanisms of charged species in the electrodes, such as lithium ions (Li+) and electrons, are directly correlated with the performance of the battery because the overall reaction is dependent on the charge transport behavior in the electrodes. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the different electrochemical processes occurring in electrodes in order to elucidate the charge conduction phenomenon. Thus, it is essential to conduct fundamental studies on electrochemical processes to resolve the technical challenges and issues arising during the ionic and electronic conduction. Furthermore, it is also necessary to understand the transport of charged species as well as the predominant factors affecting their transport in electrodes. Based on such in-depth studies, potential approaches can be introduced to enhance the mobility of charged entities, thereby achieving superior battery performances. A clear understanding of the conduction mechanism inside electrodes can help overcome challenges associated with the rapid movement of charged species and provide a practical guideline for the development of advanced materials suitable for high-performance LIBs.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing the intention to have stomach cancer screening using the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in Korea. Methods : For this population-based study, 1,535 adult respondents (aged 40 to 70 years) were recruited using multi-stratified random sampling and a face-to-face administered questionnaire. This study was based on Ajzen's theory of planned behavior. Intentions were divided into three scenarios for fee payment in the next two years : (1) free of charge, (2) co-payment, and (3) full charge. Multiple linear regression was used to identify the factors influencing the intention to have stomach cancer screening. Results : Perceived behavioral control and attitude toward stomach cancer screening were significant predictors of the intention to have stomach cancer screening. However, subjective norm only influenced the intention to have stomach cancer screening with full charge in the next two years. Conclusions : The results suggest that attitude and perceived behavioral control are likely to contribute toward increasing the intention to have stomach cancer screening. Especially, perceived behavioral control is a good predictor. Because the study subjects were nation wide residents, the study results can be generalized.

  • An electrical bill is one of the various factors that influence on energy use of residents. This study focused on electrical bills and searched that whether electrical bills affect resident behavior of operating air conditioner and their controlled indoor climate. We surveyed two groups for field study ; the one is residents who live in a studio apartment in Seoul and they are charged for electric as energy consumption they used, and the other is residents who live in a university dormitory and they are not charged for their energy consumption. We measured how long they used the air conditioner for cooling, on/off temperature of air conditioner and room temperature for these two groups. Residents were interviewed about their cooling needs, decisions about when to turn on their air conditioner and so on. We found that dormitory group has much amount of time used the air conditioner than studio apartment group and there are differences of room temperature between two groups when they turn on or off air conditioner. The result shows that perception of money affects resident behavior of operating air conditioner and their acceptable thermal range.

  • Mechanisms underlying the impacts of interactions between carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) and ionic liquids (ILs) on the physicochemical behavior of CNPs need to be more full worked out. This manuscript describes a theoretical investigation at multiple levels on the interactions of fullerene $C_{60}$ with 21 imidazolium-based ILs of varying alkyl side chain lengths and anionic types and their impacts on $C_{60}$ dispersion behavior. Results show that ${\pi}$-cation interaction contributed to mechanism of the $C_{60}$-IL interaction more than ${\pi}$-anion interaction. The calculated interaction energy ($E_{INT}$) indicates that $C_{60}$ can form stable complex with each IL molecule. Moreover, the direction of charge transfer occurred from IL to $C_{60}$ during the $C_{60}$-IL interaction. Quantitative models were developed to evaluate the self-diffusion coefficient of $C_{60}$ ($D_{fullerene}$) in bulk ILs. Three interpretative molecular descriptors (heat of formation, $E_{INT}$, and charge) that describe the $C_{60}$-IL interactions and the alkyl side chain length were found to be determinants affecting $D_{fullerene}$.

  • In this paper, the effect of solution and age heat treatment to the corrosion behavior for the Ti-6Al-4V alloy were studied by cyclic polarization methods. Ti-6Al-4V was solution heat treated at $1,066^{\circ}C$ and $966^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours, and followed by age heat treated at $650^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$ and $550^{\circ}C$ with 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 hours under vacuum environment. Test solution was 3.5% NaCl with temperature $25^{\circ}C$. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Base metal was exhibited higher electrical charge than that of solution and aged material. With decrease of solution-treatment temperature from 1066 to $966^{\circ}C$, the electrical charge was increased due to softening of micro structure. 2. The corrosion resistance of specimen that solution treated at $966^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours and age heat treated at 650, 660 and $550^{\circ}C$ were increased with increase of aging time to 4, 8 and 16 hours respectively, and then decreased. 3. In case of 316L stainless steel, measured charge and corrosion potential was 0.0627 coulomb and -614 mV respectively. Corrosion resistance of Ti-6Al-4V was higher than that of 316L.

  • Electric and dielectric(Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$[BST] thin films for emtal-Insulator-Semiconductor(MIS) capacitors have been studied. BST thin films wre deposted on p-Si(100) substrates bythe RF magnetron sputtering with tempratue range of 500~$600^{\circ}C$. The dielectric properties of MIS capacitors consisting of Al/BST/$SiO_2$/Si sandwich structure were evaluated ot redcue the leakage current density. The charge state densities of the MIS capacitors were determined by high frequency (1 MHz) C-V measurement. In order to reduce the leakage current in MIS capacitor, high quality $SiO_2$ layer was deposited on bare p-Si substrate. Depending on the oxygen pressure and substrate temperature both positive and negative polarities of effective oxide charge in the MIS capacitors were evaluated. It is considered that the density of electronic states, generated at the BST/$SiO_2$/p-Si interface due to the asymmetric structure within BST/$SiO_2$/Si structure, and the oxygen vacancy content has influence on the behavior of oxide charge.

  • In this work, the calculated nuclear quadrupole coupling constants of $^{17}O$ in some styrylquinoline conformers were presented. The calculations were carried out to find the relationships between the charge distribution of styrylquinolines and their pharmaceutical behavior and to explore the differences among the electronic structures of some conformers of these potent HIV IN inhibitors. Furthermore, the HIV IN inhibitory of R1 and R2 rotamers was compared. On the basis of our results: - Charge density on oxygen atoms of carboxyl moiety has a dominant role in the drug activity. - The a conformer in which a divalent hydrogen atom is a link, has more capability in antiviral drug treatment. - The R1 conformer, as a $Mg^{+2}$ chelating agent, is better than R2 conformer and thus it is more inhibitor of HIV IN.

  • The magnetic and transport properties far single crystals of Ru-doped mono-layered manganites $La_{0.5}Sr_{1.5}-Mn_{1-x}Ru_xO_4$ (0$\leq$$\chi$$\leq$0.1) have been studied using neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements. Temperature dependent magnetization data reveal that with an increase in the Ru concentration the parent charge ordered antiferromagnetic state is gradually destroyed and new ferromagnetic phase evolves. In the low Ru-doped system spin glass behavior is apparent in low temperature region, which is confirmed by ac and do magnetization measurements. The competing magnetic interaction between Mn/Mn and Mn/Ru couples is the most likely cause of the spin glass transition.
