고에너지 Nd-Fe-B소결자석 제조용 strip-cast합금의 미세조직을 개선하기 위하여, Nd$_{14}$Fe$_{80}$B$_{6}$6의 기본 조성에 소량의 Cu (0.3 ～ 1.0 at%) Co (0.5 ～ 1.5 at%)를 각각 첨가하고 strip-casting법으로 합금을 제조한 후, 이들 Fe 치환원소의 첨가량 변화가 합금의 상형성, 상분포 및 조직 형성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Cu첨가량이 증가함에 따라 용탕의 유동성이 증가하여 strip 두께가 감소함과 함께 strip표면에 수직한 방향으로의 수지상정 발달이 억제되었으나, Co첨가량이 증가한 경우에는 strip두께의 증가와 함께 strip표면에 수직한 방향으로 수지상정이 잘 발달하여 <001>방향으로의 preferred orientation이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이들 Cu와 Co의 첨가는 모두 수지상정을 미세화하는 효과가 있었으나, Cu는 Fe의 정출을 안정화시키는 경향이 있어서 Cu가 함유된 함금에서는 종종 Fe가 종종 정출한 반면, Co는 초정 Fe의 정출을 억제하는 효과가 있었다. 한편, 소량의 Zr (0.3, 0.5 at%)을 첨가하였을 때에는 전체적인 결정립의 조대화와 함께 수지상정의 붕괴를 초래하였다.

In this study, Sputtering method was used to grow Al-dopes ZnO films on a CIGS absorber layer, in order to examine the effect of TCO on properties of CIGS solar cell devices. Structural, electrical and optical properties were investigated by varied thickness of Al-dopes ZnO films. Also, relation to the application as a window layer in CIGS thin film solar cell were studied. It was found that the electrical and structural properties of ZnO:Al film improved with increasing its thickness. However, the optical properties degraded. Jsc of the fabricated CIGS based solar cells was significantly influenced by the variation of the ZnO:Al window layer thickness. Because ZnO:Al window layer is one of the Rs factors in CIGS solar cell. Rs has the biggest influence on efficiency characteristic. In order to obtain high efficiency of CIGS solar cell, ZnO:Al window layer should be fabricated with electrically and optically optimized.

For the fabrication of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{x}$ thick film using diffusion process between $Y_3$BaCuO$_{5}$ and BaO+CuO, each material was selected as substrate and doping material. In this paper, we investigated the characteristic of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{x}$ thick film due to both addition of CeO$_2$into substrate and initial particle size of doping material. Through X-ray diffraction patterns and SEM photographs, the variation of composition and thickness of the formed phase was observed. It was from the experiment obtained that the addition of CeO$_2$into $Y_2$BaCuO$_{5}$ substrate and the initial particle size of doping material play important part in promoting the reaction between substrate and doping material.aterial.

This study looked at high performance copper-based alloys as LED lead frame materials with higher electrical-conductivity and the maintenance of superior tensile strength. This study investigated the effects on the tensile strength, electrical conductivity, thermal softening, size and distribution of the precipitation phases when Cr was added in Cu-Fe alloy in order to satisfy characteristics for LED Lead Frame material. Strips of the alloys were produced by casting and then properly treated to achieve a thickness of 0.25 mm by hot-rolling, scalping, and cold-rolling; mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness and electrical-conductivity were determined and compared. To determine precipitates in alloy that affect hardness and electrical-conductivity, electron microscope testing was also performed. Cr showed the effect of precipitation hardened with a $Cr_3Si$ precipitation phase. As a result of this experiment, appropriate aging temperature and time have been determined and we have developed a copper-based alloy with high tensile strength and electrical-conductivity. This alloy has the possibility for use as a substitution material for the LED Lead Frame of Cu alloy.

The effect of various alloying elements and melt treatment on the microstructural control of Al-Sn metallic bearing alloy was investigated. The thickness of tin film crystallized around primary aluminum decreased with the addition of 5% Cu in Al-Sn alloy, with tin particles being reduced in size by intervening the Ostwald ripening. With the addition of Si in Al-10%Sn alloy, the tin particles were crystallized with eutectic silicon, resulting in uniform distribution of tin particles. With the addition of Cu and Si in Al-Sn alloy, both the tensile strength and yield strength increased, with the increasing rate of yield strength being less than that of tensile strength. Although the Al-10%Sn-7%Si alloy has similar tensile strength compared with Al-10%Sn-5%Cu, the former showed superior abrasion resistance, resulting from preventing the tin particles from movement to the abrasion surface.

Transparent conducting films having a hybrid structure of GZO/Metal/GZO were prepared on glass substrates by sequential deposition using DC magnetron sputtering. Silver, copper, aluminum and zinc thin films were used as the intermediate metal layers in the hybrid structure. The electrical and optical properties of hybrid transparent conducting films were investigated with varying the thickness of metal layer or GZO layers. With increasing the metal thickness, hybrid films showed a noticeable improvement of the electrical conductivity, which is mainly dependent on the electrical property of the metal layer. GZO(40 nm)/Ag(10 nm)/GZO(40 nm) film exhibits a resistivity of $5.2{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ with an optical transmittance of 82.8%. For the films with Zn interlayer, only marginal reduction in the resistivity was observed. Furthermore, unlike other metals, hybrid films with Zn interlayer showed a decrease in the resistivity with increasing the GZO thickness. The optimal thickness of GZO layer for anti-reflection effect at a given thickness of metal (10 nm) was found to be critically dependent on the refractive index of the metal. In addition, x-ray diffraction analysis showed that the insertion of Ag layer resulted in the improvement of crystallinity of GZO films, which is beneficial for the electrical and optical properties of hybrid-type transparent conducting films.

Ag-Cu-Ti 삽입금속을 이용하여 제조된 AlN/Cu와 AlN/W 활성금속브레이징 접합체의 잔류응력을 유한요소법으로 탄성 및 탄소성 해석을 행하여 그 결과를 접합강도 측정 결과와 파단 거동 관찰 결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 최대 잔류 주응력의 크기는 AlN/W 접합체보다 모재간 열팽창계수 차이가 큰 AlN/Cu 접합체에서 더 크게 나타났으며, 접합계면에 인접한 AlN 세라믹스 자유표면에 인장 성분의 응력집중이 확인되었다. 모재와 삽입금속의 탄소성 변형을 모두 고려할 경우, AlN/Cu 접합체의 경우 연질의 삽입금속에 의해 최대 잔류 주응력이 감소하여 소성변형에 의한 응력완화 효과가 있음을 확인하였으나, 100$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이상으로 삽입금속 두께를 증가시키더라도 잔류 주응력의 크기는 더 이상 크게 감소하지 않았다. 측정된 최대 접합강도는 AlN/Cu와 AlN/W 접합체에서 각각 52 MPa와 108 MPa이었으며, 파단 형태는 AlN/Cu 접합체는 AlN 자유표면으로부터 AlN 내부로 큰 각도를 이루면 진행되는 돔형의 파단이, AlN/W 접합체에서는 접합계면의 삽입금속층을 따라 AlN 측에서 파단이 일어나는 형태를 보였다.

In this study, effect of core-shell structure on compaction behavior of harmonic powder is investigated. Harmonic powders are made by electroless plating method on Fe powders. Softer Cu shell encloses harder Fe core, and the average size of Fe core and thickness of Cu shell are $34.3{\mu}m$ and $3.2{\mu}m$, respectively. The powder compaction procedure is processed with pressure of 600 MPa in a cylindrical die. Due to the low strength of Cu shell regions, the harmonic powders show better densification behavior compared with pure Fe powders. Finite element method (FEM) is performed to understand the roll of core-shell structure. Based on stress and strain distributions of FEM results, it is concluded that the early stage of powder compaction of harmonic powders mainly occurs at the shell region. FEM results also well predict porosity of compacted materials.

The effect of intercritical annealing temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe-9Mn-0.2C-3Al-0.5Si medium manganese steels containing Cu and Ni is investigated in this study. Six kinds of medium manganese steels are fabricated by varying the chemical composition and intercritical annealing temperature. Hardness and tensile tests are performed to examine the correlation of microstructure and mechanical properties for the intercritical annealed medium manganese steels containing Cu and Ni. The microstructures of all the steels are composed mostly of lath ferrite, reverted austenite and cementite, regardless of annealing temperature. The room-temperature tensile test results show that the yield and tensile strengths decrease with increasing intercritical annealing temperature due to higher volume fraction and larger thickness of reverted austenite. On the other hand, total and uniform elongations, and strain hardening exponent increase due to higher dislocation density because transformation-induced plasticity is promoted with increasing annealing temperature by reduction in reverted austenite stability.

The improvement of critical current properties of $REBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (REBCO) coated conductors by introducing artificial pinning centers (APCs) is examined with respect to the field-angle anisotropy, high-field performance and relaxation property with time. Nano-rods along the c-axis introduced by PLD method and isotropic nano-particles introduced by TFA-MOD method are treated. The theoretical analysis is also shown to understand the effect of APCs quantitatively. The effects of superconducting layer thickness that influences the high-field performance and relaxation property are also discussed. It is shown that the upper critical field, which is another important factor to determine the high-field property, can be improved by introduction of APCs through electron scattering at interfaces with the superconducting matrix. The optimum critical current property can be obtained by properly designing the morphology and number density of APCs and the superconducting layer thickness.
