The recent intensification of competition in the LM market has become a major issue. In this research effort, a study is made to determine the expected social benefits that can be realized from the increase of competition in the LM market through CPS. Results from this study show that consumer benefits up to 144.8 billion won can be created through the boost in competition from CPS. However, a reduction of 207.9-438.7 billion won in revenues is expected for service providers. Depending on the existing service providers, revenues may fall by at least 264.4 billion won and up to 486.2 billion won. For newcomers to the market 30.2-89.1 billion won will be created.

The analog front end (AFE) of a radio frequency identification transponder using the ISO 14443 type A standard with a 100% amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation is proposed in this paper and verified by circuit simulations and measurements. This AFE circuit, using a 13.56 MHz carrier frequency, consists of a rectifier, a modulator, a demodulator, a regulator, a power on reset, and a dynamically enabled digital phase locked loop (DPLL). The DPLL, with a charge pump enable circuit, was used to recover the clock of a 100% modulated ASK signal during the pause period. A high voltage lateral double diffused metal-oxide semiconductor transistor was used to protect the rectifier and the clock recovery circuit from high voltages. The proposed AFE was fabricated using the $0.18\;{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process, with an AFE core size of $350\;{\mu}m\;{\times}\;230\;{\mu}m$. The measurement results show that the DPLL, using a demodulator output signal, generates a constant 1.695 MHz clock during the pause period of the 100% ASK signal.

We have synthesized new blue electroluminescent polyalkylfluorene-based copolymers [poly(F-co-Py)x:y, where x:y = 99:1 or 95:5 mole ratios] containing the hole-injecting pyrazole derivative [3,3'-(4,6-bis(octyloxy)-1,3-phenylene)bis(1,5-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole] through Ni(0) mediated polymerization, and their electroluminescent properties were investigated. Electroluminescent (EL) devices were fabricated with ITO / PEDOT:PSS (110 nm) / copolymers or PF homopolymer (80 nm) / Ca (50 nm) / Al (200 nm) configuration. Each EL device constructed from the copolymer exhibited significantly enhanced brightness and efficiency compared with a device constructed from the PF homopolymer. The EL device constructed with poly(F-co-Py)99:1 exhibited the highest luminous efficiency and brightness (0.95 cd/A and $2,907\;cd/m^2$, respectively). The achieved luminous efficiency was an excellent result, providing almost a 4-fold improvement on the efficiency obtainable with the a PF homopolymer device. This enhanced efficiency of the copolymer devices results from their improved hole injection and more efficient charge carrier balance, which arises from the HOMO level (~5.83 eV) of the poly(F-co-Py)99:1 copolymer, which is higher than that of the PF homopolyme (~5.90 eV).

오늘날 유기고분자기반 태양전지는 다른 태양전지와 비교될 정도로 낮은 광변환효율로 인해 효율향 상을 위한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 그중 패터닝을 통한 광포집률과 charge carrier 수집효율이 증가되었다는 많은 보고들이 있었다. 따라서 우리는 200~1,400 nm polystyrene bead를 합성하여 air-liquid interfacial 방법을 이용해 2차원 육방조밀구조를 갖는 template를 형성하고 Nanosphere lithography (NSL)를 이용하여 대면적으로 균일한 poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)를 패턴화하였다. 균일한 패턴형성을 측정하기위해 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), image를 얻었으며, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)를 통해 형성된 패턴의 낙차 높이를 얻었고, Near IR-UV-Vis을 통해 bead size 변화에따라 얻어진 PEDOT:PSS 패턴의 반사율을 측 정하였다.

ZnS nanowires were synthesized in order to investigate $NO_2$ gas sensing properties. They were grown on the sapphire substrate using ZnS powders. SEM (scanning electron microscopy) showed the diameter and length of the ZnS nanowires were approximately in the range of 50 - 100 nm and a few $10s\;{\mu}m$, respectively. They were also found to be composed of Wurtzite- structured single crystals from TEM (transmission electron microscopy) analysis. $NO_2$ gas sensing performance of the ZnS nanowire was measured with electrical resistance changes caused by $NO_2$ gas with a concentration of 1-5ppm. The sensor was UV treated with an intensity of $1.2mW/cm^2$ to facilitate charge carrier transfer. The responses of the ZnS nanowires to the $NO_2$ gas at room temperature, treated with UV of two different wavelengths of 365 nm and 254 nm, are measured to be 124.53 - 206.87 % and 233.97 - 554.83%, respectively. In the current work, the effect of UV treatment on the gas sensing performance of the ZnS nanowires was studied. And the underlying mechanism for the electrical resistance changes of the ZnS nanowires by $NO_2$ gas was also discussed.

Ion-beam sputtering (IBS) was used to deposit semiconducting IZTO (indium zinc tin oxide) thin films onto heavily-doped Si substrates using a sintered ceramic target with the nominal composition In0.4Zn0.5Sn0.1O1.5, which could work as a channel layer for oxide TFT (oxide thin film transistor) devices. The crystallization behavior and electrical properties were examined for the films in terms of deposition parameters, i.e. target tilt angle and substrate temperature during deposition. The thickness uniformity of the films were examined using a stylus profilometer. The observed difference in electrical properties was not related to the degree of crystallization but to the deposition temperature which affected charge carrier concentration (n), electrical resistivity (ρ), sheet resistance (Rs), and Hall mobility (μH) values of the films.

Currently, photodetectors are being extensively studied and developed for next-generation applications, such as in autonomous vehicles and image sensors. In this regard, all-inorganic metal halide perovskite (CsPbX₃; X = Cl, Br, and I) nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as promising building blocks for various applications owing to their high absorption coefficients, tunable bandgaps, high defect tolerances, and solution processability. These features, which are typically required for the development of advanced optoelectronics, can be engineered by modifying the chemical compositions and surface chemistry of the NCs. Herein, we briefly review various strategies adopted for the application of CsPbX₃ perovskite NCs in photodetectors and for improving device performance. First, modifications of the chemical compositions of CsPbX₃ NCs to tune their optical bandgaps and improve the charge-transport mechanism are discussed. Second, the application of surface chemistry to improve oxidation resistance and carrier mobility is described. In the future, perovskite NCs with prospective features, such as non-toxicity and high resistance to external stimuli, are expected to be developed for practical applications.

An ammonium ion with a size and charge similar to that of potassium can bind to valinomycin, which is used as an ion carrier for potassium, and cause a meaningful interference effect on the detection of potassium ions. Currently, there are few ion sensors that correct the interference effect of ammonium ions, and there are few studies that specifically suggest the mechanism of the interference effect. By fabricating a SPCE-based potassium ion-selective electrode, the electromotive force was measured in the concentration range of potassium in the nutrient solution, and the linear range was measured to be 10^-5 to 10^-2 M, and the detection limit was 10^-5.19 M. And the interference phenomenon of the potassium sensor was investigated in the concentration range of ammonium ions present in the nutrient solution. Therefore, a data-based analysis strategy using deep learning was presented as a method to minimize the interference effect.

As energy depletion and environmental pollution problems are intensified, research has been conducted actively on alternative energy sources, an eco-friendly and continuous available energy conversion system. So has been organic solar cells whose efficiency is improved to 18.32%. The photoactive layer inside the solar cell is composed of a donor and a acceptor, and the combination of materials capable of effectively exchanging electrons greatly affects the efficiency of the organic solar cell. Accordingly, various researches have been conducted to improve the efficiency, and the maximum efficiency could be achieved by a solar cell with high carrier generation and low charge recombination characteristics through the introduction of a non-fullerene acceptor and material reconstruction. Organic solar cells are still difficult to commercialize due to their efficiency limitations and light stability, but if a photoactive layer consisting of a donor capable of efficiently absorbing long-wavelength light and an acceptor capable of forming an appropriate energy level is designed, the efficiency of the organic solar cell will reach 20%.

We have studied the numerical analysis about the fragment ejection velocity and spray angle when the High Explosive warhead detonated at proximity distance at an aircraft. To study the physical quantities about the warhead components is very important to assessment the vulnerability of aircraft. Generally, the physical quantities about the components of a warhead such as the mass, length, diameter and charge to mass ratio are unknown. Therefore, it is required to estimate the physical quantities by using physical continuities of similar threats. The empirical formulas to understand the dependence among charge to mass ratio, length and diameter ratio were driven by using the physical parameters of similar threatening such as terrier, sparrow. As a result, we confirmed that the dead mass ratio was closed to 20% of warhead mass since the metal case of the proximity threat acts as a simple carrier. This implies that the effective length and diameter of High Explosive Compound is smaller than the length and diameter of warhead, and become a key to understand the large ejection gradient velocity and small spray angle of fragments within 6 degree.
