4H-SiC has attracted attention for high-power and high-temperature metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) for industrial and automotive applications. The gate oxide in the 4H-SiC MOS system is important for switching operations. Above $1000^{\circ}C$, thermal oxidation initiates $SiO_2$ layer formation on SiC; this is one advantage of 4H-SiC compared with other wide band-gap materials. However, if post-deposition annealing is not applied, thermally grown $SiO_2$ on 4H-SiC is limited by high oxide charges due to carbon clusters at the $SiC/SiO_2$ interface and near-interface states in $SiO_2$; this can be resolved via low-temperature deposition. In this study, low-temperature $SiO_2$ deposition on a Si substrate was optimized for $SiO_2/4H-SiC$ MOS capacitor fabrication; oxide formation proceeded without the need for post-deposition annealing. The $SiO_2/4H-SiC$ MOS capacitor samples demonstrated stable capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics, low voltage hysteresis, and a high breakdown field. Optimization of the treatment process is expected to further decrease the effective oxide charge density.

Carbon nanomaterials are considered to be the materials of choice for the fabrication of electrochemical energy storage devices due to their stability, cost-effectiveness, well-established processing techniques, and superior performance compared to other active materials. In the present work, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been synthesized and used for the fabrication of a symmetric supercapacitor. The electrochemical performance of the fabricated supercapacitors with three different aqueous electrolytes namely 0.5 M H₂SO₄, 0.5 M H₃PO₄, and 1.0M Na₂SO₄ have been compared and analyzed. Among the three electrolytes, the highest areal specific capacitance of 14 mF/cm² was calculated at a scan rate of 5 mV/s observed with 0.5M H₃PO₄ electrolyte. The results were also confirmed from the charge/discharge results where the supercapacitor with 0.5M H₃PO₄ electrolyte delivered a specific capacitance of 11 mF/cm² at a current density of 0.16 mA/cm². In order to assess the stability of the supercapacitor with different electrolytes, the cells were subjected to continuous charge/discharge cycling and it was observed that acidic electrolytes showed excellent cyclic stability with no appreciable drop in specific capacitance as compared to the neutral electrolyte.

Nanorod films of cobalt oxide ($Co_3O_4$) have been grown by a unique oblique angle deposition (OAD) technique in an e-beam evaporator for supercapacitor electrode applications. This technique offers a non-chemical route to achieve large aspect ratio nanorods. The fabricated electrodes at OAD $80^{\circ}$ exhibited a specific capacitance of 2875 F/g. The electrochemically active surface area was $1397cm^{-2}$, estimated from the non-Faradaic capacitive current region. Peak energy and power densities obtained for $Co_3O_4$ nanorods were 57.7 Wh/Kg and 9.5 kW/kg, respectively. The $Co_3O_4$ nanorod electrode showed a good endurance of 2000 charge-discharge cycles with 62% retention. The OAD approach for fabricating supercapacitor nanostructured electrodes can be exploited for the fabrication of a broad range of metal oxide materials.

Nuclei with the spin quantum number not smaller than unity have not only the nuclear magnetic moment but also the electric quadrupole moment. The quadrupole moment couples with the electric field gradient (EFG) to produce the nuclear quadrupole interaction. It is well known that two independent parameters, i.e. the quadrupole coupling constant (QCC) and the asymmetry parameter ($\eta$) together with the principal axis directions can fully describe the interaction and are very sensitive to the local symmetry and structure of the solid. In order to obtain quantitative estimates of the EFG tensor for various simple ionic configurations surrounding the nucleus under consideration, we employ the simple point charge approximation and apply the calculated results to some real crystals. General agreement is rather satisfactory.

인산처리가 근류의 bacteroid 함량과 energy 상태에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 Bradyrhizobium japonicum MN10을 접종한 대두식물(Glycine max [L.] Merr.)에 저해농도(0.05 mM-P)와 정상농도(1.0 mM-P)를 처리하여 온실에서 재배하였다. 인산결핍은 식물체의 근류량과 근류량 식물체량의 비에 유의성있는 감소를 보였다. 잎, 줄기, 뿌리의 인산농도는 인산결핍에 의하여 75%가 감소하였으나 근류의 인산농도는 40%만 감소하였다. 근류의 bacteroid 함량과 근류에서 전인산, 전질소의 bacteroid와 식물세포로의 분배는 인산결핍의 영향을 받지 않았으며 전질소의 22%, 전인산의 27%가 bacteroid에 존재하였다. 근류의 ATP농도, 전 adenylate 농도와 energy charge는 인산결핍에 의하여 각각 77%, 46%, 37%가 감소되었다. 인산결핍은 근류내 식물세포의 ATP 농도와 energy charge를 각각 86%, 59%를 감소시켰으나 bacteroid의 ATP농도와 energy charge에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 근류가 인산의 강한 보유원이며, 기주식물에 대한 인산결핍조건하에서 bacteroid는 정상적인 인산 농도와 energy양을 함유한다는 것을 나타낸다.

This paper presents a control and operation system for a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The ROV used in the study was equipped with a manipulator and is being developed for underwater exploration and autonomous underwater working. Precision position and attitude control ability is essential for underwater operation using a manipulator. For propulsion, the ROV is equipped with eight thrusters, the number of those are more than six degrees-of-freedom. Four of them are in charge of surge, sway, and yaw motion, and the other four are responsible for heave, roll, and pitch motion. Therefore, it is more efficient to integrate the management of the thrusters rather than control them individually. In this paper, a thrust allocation method for thruster management is presented, and the design of a feedback controller using sensor data is described. The software for the ROV operation consists of a robot operating system that can efficiently process data between multiple hardware platforms. Through experimental analysis, the validity of the control system performance was verified.

Graphene is a 2-D sheet of $sp^2$-bonded carbon arranged in a honeycomb lattice. This material has attracted major interest, and there are many ongoing efforts in developing graphene devices because of its high charge mobility and crystal quality. Therefore clear understanding of the substrate effect and mechanism of synthesis of graphene is important for potential applications and device fabrication of graphene. In a published paper in J. Phys. Chem. C (2008), the effect of substrate on the atomic/electronic structures of graphene is negligible for graphene made by mechanical cleavage. However, nobody shows the interaction between Ni substrate and graphene. Therefore, we have studied this interaction. In order to studying these effect between graphene and Ni substrate, We have observed graphene synthesized on Ni substrate and graphene transferred on $SiO_2$/Si substrate through Raman spectroscopy. Because Raman spectroscopy has historically been used to probe structural and electronic characteristics of graphite materials, providing useful information on the defects (D-band), in-plane vibration of sp2 carbon atoms (G-band), as well as the stacking orders (2D-band), we selected this as analysis tool. In our study, we could not observe the doping effect between graphene and Ni substrate or between graphene and $SiO_2$/Si substrate because the shift of G band in Raman spectrum was not occurred by charge transfer. We could noticed that the bonding force between graphene and Ni substrate is more strong than Van de Waals force which is the interaction between graphene and $SiO_2$/Si. Furthermore, the synthesized graphene on Ni substrate was in compressive strain. This phenomenon was observed by 2D band blue-shift in Raman spectrum. And, we consider that the graphene is incommensurate growth with Ni polycrystalline substrate.
