CIS(CuInSe2)계 화합물 태양전지는 높은 광흡수계수와 열적 안정성으로 고효율 태양전지 제조가 가능하여 태양전지용 광흡수층으로 매우 이상적이다. 미국 NREL에서는 이러한 CIGS 태양전지를 Co-evaporation 방법으로 제조 20%이상의 에너지 변환 효율을 달성하였다고 보고하였다. CIGS 태양전지의 경우 기존의 유리 기판 대신 유연한 철강 기판을 사용해 태양 전지를 flexible하게 제조 할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 이러한 flexible 태양전지의 경우 기존의 rigid 태양전지의 적용분야 뿐만 아니라 BIPV, 선박, 장난감, 군용, 자동차등 더욱 더 많은 분야에 활용이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 rigid한 기판인 soda lime glass와 flexible 기판인 stainless steel 기판으로 소자를 제조하여 효율을 비교 분석 및 stainless steel 기판의 표면 처리 방법에 따라서 표면 조도의 특성을 분석하여 stainless steel 기판별 효율 특성도 비교 분석 하였다. 후면전극으로는 약 $1{\mu}m$의 Mo를 DC Sputtering 방법을 이용하여 증착하였고, CIGS 광흡수층은 약 $2.5{\mu}m$의 두께로 미국의 NREL과 같은 3 stage 방식을 이용하여 광흡수층을 Co-Evaporation 방법으로 제조하였고, 버퍼층인CdS는 약 50nm의 두께로 CBD 방법으로 제조 하였으며, 창층인 ZnO는 약 500nm 두께로 RF Sputtering 방법으로 제조 하였고, 마지막으로 약 $1{\mu}m$ 두께의 Al 전면전극은 Thermal Evaporation 방법으로 제조 하였다. 소자의 물리적, 전기적 특성을 분석하기위해 FE-SEM, AFM, Solar Cell Simulator 분석을 실시하였다.

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB-co-4HB)] microspheres were prepared using solvent evaporation technique. P(3HB-co-4HB) with 3.9 mol% 4HB was synthesized by fed-batch culture of Ralstonia eutropha. The effects of concentration and type of surfactant (Tween 80, sodium dodecylsulfate, and polyvinyl alcohol), addition of dispersion stabilizer (Acacia), concentration of polymer and model drug (bovine serum albumin) on particle size of the microspheres and their in vitro drug release characteristics were investigated. The average particle size of the microspheres decreased with the addition of dispersion stabilizer and increased with the concentration of surfactant, drug and polymer. Amount of drug release increased with decreasing particle size of the microspheres.

Coulometric titration experiments have been done for copper doped cobaltous oxide (Co1-xCux)1-$\delta$ O with various dopant concentrations. We present the obtained experimental data and compare our results to those of previous thermogravimetric investigation. The experimental data are fitted by theoretical calculations based on various defect models. For this modeling, we considered different types fo major defects like copper in substitutional and interstitial lattice sites as well as copper vacancy. We also introduced the copper evaporation effect during titration experiment into our consideration.

In this paper, the prediction of adiabatic capillary tube of heat pump using carbon dioxide is investigated theoretically and experimentally to offer the basic design data for the operating parameters of this system. The operating parameters considered in this study include evaporation temperature, cooling pressure of gas cooler, mass flowrate, and the length and diameter of capillary tube. Based on study results of several researchers, the correlation predicting the length of capillary tube of $CO_2$ heat pump was proposed. And the experimental results of evaporation temperature, mass flowrate and cooling pressure in adiabatic capillary tube have an good agreement to those calculated from Eq. (3) within 0.63~10.9%. Therefore, the prediction calculating the length of adiabatic capillary tube of $CO_2$ heat pump was proposed at the given conditions such as cooling pressure, evaporation temperature and capillary tube diameter.

The evaporation heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ (R-744) in a horizontal tube was investigated experimentally. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a variable-speed pump, a mass flow meter, a pre-heater and evaporator (test section). The test section consists of a smooth, horizontal stainless steel tube of inner diameter of 4.57mm. The experiments were conducted at mass flux of 400 to $900kg/m^2s$, saturation temperature of 5 to $20^{\circ}C$, and heat flux of 10 to $40kW/m^2$. The test results showed the heat transfer of $CO_2$ has a greater effect on nucleate boiling more than convective boiling. Mass flux of $CO_2$ does not affect nucleate boiling too much. In comparison with test results and existing correlations, All of the existing correlations for the heat transfer coefficient underestimated the experimental data. However Jung et al.'s correlation showed a good agreement with the experimental data. Therefore, it is necessary to develope accurate predictions determining the evaporation heat transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ in horizontal tubes.

Despite the success of $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (CIGS) based PV technology now emerging in several industrial initiatives, concerns about the cost of In and Ga are often expressed. It is believed that the cost of those elements will eventually limit the cost reduction of this technology. one candidate to replace CIGS is $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ (CZTSe), fabricated by co-evaporation technique. Effects of substrate temperature of $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ absorber layer on the performance of thin films solar cells were investigated. As substrate temperature increased, the grain size of $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ films increased presumably. At a optimal condition of substrate temperature is $320^{\circ}C$, the solar cell shows a conversion efficiency of 1.79% with $V_{OC}$ of 0.213V, JSC of $16.91mA/cm^2$ and FF of 49.7%.

In this paper, investigations on a three stage processing technique involving the co-evaporation of In-Se, Cu-Se and In-Se in this order at different deposition condition was undertaken. At first stage, we obtained good $In_{2}Se_{3}$ films by In-Se coevaporation. $In_{2}Se_{3}$ films show smooth and dense structure. And ration of In:Se was 2:3 $CulnSe_2$ thin films deposited by three stage process have shown strong adhesion on Mo coated glass substrates and good morphological properties suitable device fabrication. XWD spectra show single phase chalcopyrite $CulnSe_2$ films with strong orientation in the 112 plane. Resistivity of $CulnSe_2$ thin films was about $5{\times}10^{5}\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. Surface morphology of CdS/$CulnSe_2$/Mo films was very good because of no pin holes.

Various bupivacaine-loaded microspheres were prepared using poly(d,1-lactide) (PLA) and poly(d,1-lactic-co-glycolide) (PLGA) by a solvent evaporation method for the sustained release of drug. The effects of process conditions such as drug loading, polymer type and solvent type on the characteristics of microspheres were investigated. The prepared microspheres were characterized for their drug loading, size distribution, surface morphology and release kinetics. Drug loading efficiency and yield of PLGA micro- spheres were higher than those of PLA microspheres. The prepared microspheres had an average particle size below 5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The particle size range of microspheres was 1.65~2.24${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. As a result of SEM, the particle size of PLA microspheres was smaller than that of PLGA microspheres. In morphology studies, microspheres showed a spherical shape and smooth surface in all process conditions. In thermal analysis, bupivacaine-loaded microspheres showed no peaks originating from bupivacaine. This suggested that bupivacaine base was molecular-dispersed in the polymer matrix of microspheres. The release pattern of the drug from microspheres was evaluated for 96 hours. The initial burst release of bupivacaine base decreased with increasing the molecular weight of PLGA, and the drug from microspheres released slowly. In conclusion, bupivacaine-loaded microspheres were successfully prepared from poly(d,1-lactide) and poly (d,1- lactic-co-glycolide) polymers with different molecular weights allowing control of the release rate.
