In this study, we propose Ti hole pattern structure on the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) less dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using the lift-off process to improve the low light transmittance and low efficiency caused by opaque Ti electrode. The formation of Ti hole patterns make it possible to move the dye adsorption and electrolyte. The DSSCs with Ti hole patterns showed a higher photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) than those with general structure by 11.1%. As a result, The Ti hole pattern structure can be improved to increase the light absorption of the dyes and PCE of the TCO-less DSSCs is also increased.

When a patient takes an MRI scan, the patient has a risk of unexpected injuries due to the intensive electromagnetic (EM) field. Among the injuries, the tissue heating by the time-varying EM field is one of the main issues. Since an implanted artificial structure with a conductive material aggravates the heating effect, lots of studies have been conducted to investigate the effect around the implants. In this review article, a mechanism of RF heating around the implants and related studies are comprehensively investigated.

Ionic liquids (ILs) are collecting keen interests as an advanced substituent of electrolyte solution as well as novel solvents. In the present talk, I will introduce some strategies to fix IL structure on polymer chains to prepare polar polymers with low glass transition temperature. Namely, cationic, anionic, and zwitterionic monomers have been prepared, and they have been homopolymerized or copolymerized to prepare polymer electrolytes with different properties. The polymers themselves showed very poor ionic conductivity, but it was improved by suitable spacer between charged site and main chain. Other unique characteristics of functional ILs and new polymerized ionic liquids will also be mentioned.

In this study, the influences of aniline to acid composition were investigated on the electrical conductivity of PANI-PAAMPSA. The ratio of aniline to sulfonic acid groups was optimized for the maximum conductivity of PANI-PAAMPSA. The conductivity is strongly correlated with the electronic structure of PANI-PAAMPSA; the highest conductivity of PANI-PAAMPSA was observed when PANI has the longest conjugation length.

Recently, improvement in the conversion efficiency of silicon-based solar cells has been achieved by decreasing emitter doping concentration, because the lightly doped emitter can effectively prevent the recombination of electrons and holes generated by solar light irradiation. This type of emitter is very thin due to the low doping concentration, thus conductive materials (i.e., silver) used for front electrodes can easily penetrate the emitter during a firing process because of their large diffusivity in silicon. This results in junction leakage currents which might reduce cell efficiencies. In this study, $Al_2O_3$-coated Ag powders were synthesized by an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method and applied to the conductive materials of the front electrode to control the junction leakage current. The $Al_2O_3$ shell obstructs the Ag diffusion into the emitter during the firing process. The powder is spherical with a core-shell structure and the thickness of the $Al_2O_3$ shell is tens of nanometers. Solar cells were fabricated using pure Ag powders or the $Al_2O_3$-coated Ag powder as front electrode materials, and the conversion efficiency and junction leakage current were compared to investigate the role of the $Al_2O_3$ shell during the firing processes.

Various materials including conductive, dielectric, and semi-conductive materials, constitute suitable candidates for printed electronics. Metal nanoparticles (e.g. Ag, Cu, Ni, Au) are typically used in conductive ink. However, easily oxidized metals, such as Cu, must be processed at low temperatures and as such, photonic sintering has gained significant attention as a new low-temperature processing method. This method is based on the principle of selective heating of a strongly absorbent film, without light-source-induced damage to the transparent substrate. However, Cu nanoparticles used in inks are susceptible to the growth of a native copper-oxide layer on their surface. Copper-oxide-nanoparticle ink subjected to a reduction mechanism has therefore been introduced in an attempt to achieve long-term stability and reliability. In this work, a flash-light sintering process was used for the reduction of an inkjet-printed Cu(II)O thin film to a Cu film. Using a photographic lighting instrument, the intensity of the light (or intense pulse light) was controlled by the charged power (Ws). The resulting changes in the structure, as well as the optical and electrical properties of the light-irradiated Cu(II)O films, were investigated. A Cu thin film was obtained from Cu(II)O via photo-thermal reduction at 2500 Ws. More importantly, at one shot of 3000 Ws, a low sheet resistance value ($0.2527{\Omega}/sq.$) and a high resistivity (${\sim}5.05-6.32{\times}10^{-8}{\Omega}m$), which was ~3.0-3.8 times that of bulk Cu was achieved for the ~200-250-nm-thick film.

In a triple-layered structure of ITO/N,N'-diph enyl-N,N'bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1' - biphenyl-4,4'-diamine(TPD)/tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum($Alq_3$)/(2,9-Dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline(BCP)/Al device, we have studied the electrical and optical characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) depending on the deposition condition of BCP layer. Several different sizes of holes on boat and several different deposition rates were employed in evaporating the organic materials. And then, electrical properties of the organic light-emitting diodes were measured and the performance of the devices was analyzed. It was found that the hole-size of crucible boat and the evaporation rate affect on the surface roughness of BCP layer as well as the performance of the device. When the hole-size of crucible boat and the deposition rate of BCP are 1.2 mm and $1.0\;{\AA}/s$, respectively, average surface roughness of BCP layer is lower and the efficiency of the device is higher than the ones made with other conditions. From the analysis of current density-luminance-voltage characteristics of a triple layered device, we divided the conductive mechanism by four region according to applied voltage. So we have obtained a coefficient of ${\beta}_{ST}$ in schottky region is $3.85{\times}10^{-24}$, a coefficient of ${\beta}_{PF}$ in Poole-Frenkel region is $7.35{\times}10^{-24}$, and a potential barrier of ${\phi}_{FN}$ in Fower-Nordheim region is 0.39 eV.

난지도 매립장의 매립물 특성과 지하구조를 파악하기 위해서 난지도 매립장 상부에서 슐럼버져 전기비저항 탐사와 동일송수신기 배열 시간영역 전자탐사를 실시하였다. 또한 6개의 측점에서는 두가지 탐사를 함께 실시하여 지하구조 해석 결과의 신뢰도를 높이고자 하였다. 전기탐사와 시간영역 전자탐사로부터 구한 지하구조 모델은 서로 상당히 일치하는 양상을 보인다. 매립장의 전기비저항 구조는 천부에 높은 전기 비저항을 보이는 표층 아래에 낮은 비저항층이 존재하며, 저비저항층 하부에 다시 고비저항층이 존재하는 양상을 보인다. 중간층의 저비저항은 매립물의 분해와 강수의 유입에 의해 생성된 것으로 보이며, 하부의 고비저항층은 난지도 지역의 기반암을 나타내는 것으로 보인다. 이상의 결과는 매립장 및 주변지역에서 실시된 슐럼버져 전기탐사 및 쌍극자배열 전기탐사의 결과와도 잘 대비된다. 매립장의 저비저항층이 기반암이 존재하는 것으로 생각되는 깊이까지 발달하고 있고, 난지도 지역에 오염물질의 수직이동을 막을 수 있는 불투수성 지층이 존재하지 않는 점을 고려할 때, 매립장에서 생성된 오염물질은 난지도 매립장 지하의 지하수로 바로 유입되는 것으로 보인다.

본 논문에서는 접지된 2개의 유전체층 위의 도체띠 격자구조에 의한 TE (Transverse Electric) 산란문제를 도체경계조건과 수치해석 방법인 FGMM (Fourier-Galerkin Moment Method)를 적용하여 해석하였으며, 이 때 유도되는 표면전류밀도는 미지의 계수와 단순한 함수인 지수함수의 곱의 급수로 전개하였다. 전반적으로, 제안된 구조에서 영역-2의 유전체층의 비유전율 ${\epsilon}_{r2}$과 유전체 층의 두께 $t_2$가 증가함에 따라 반사전력이 증가하였다. 반사전력의 급변점들은 공진효과에 기인한 것으로 과거에 wood's anomaly라고 불리워졌으며, 수치계산 결과들은 기존 논문의 결과들과 일치하였다.
