Er(NO$_3$)$_3$.5$H_2O$, Mn($CH_3$$CO_2$)$_2$.4$H_2O$를 출발원료로 사용하여 졸-겔법으로 제조한 ErMnO$_3$박막의 열처리 온도 및 기판 배향성에 따른 박막 배향성과 누설 전류 특성에 관하여 연구하였다. ErMnO$_3$박막은 75$0^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서 1시간 열처리 시비정질상태였으나, 78$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 hexagonal pahse인 ErMnO$_3$로 결정화되었다. 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 기판 배향성과 무관하게 모든 방향으로 결정이 성장함을 알 수 있었다. 결정화 정도와 결정 성장 축에 따라 누설 전류 값이 변화함을 알 수 있었고, 80$0^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 시편에서는 누설 전류 변화가 비선형적인 경향으로 증가하였으며, $10^{-5}$ A/$ extrm{cm}^2$ 이하로 유지되었다.

Two β-diketone derivatives bearing triphenylene (1-naphthalene-2-yl-3-triphenylen-2-yl-propane-1,3-dione (NTPD)) and naphthalene (1,3-di-naphthalene-2-yl-propane-1,3-dione (DNPD)) and their Ln(III) complexes (Ln = Er or Gd) were synthesized and their photophysical properties were investigated. The sensitized emission of Er3+ ion in Er3+-[NTPD]3(terpy) and Er3+-[DNPD]3(terpy) was observed upon excitation at absorption maximum of ligands. Their photophysical studies indicate the sensitization of Er3+ luminescence by energy transfer through the excited triplet state of β-diketone ligand. The energy transfer rate through the excited triplet state of β-diketone ligand to Er3+ ion occurs faster than that of the oxygen quenching rate.

Electro-Rheological(ER) fluids change their apparent viscosity according to the electric field strength. The electrical and rheological properties of zeolite based the ER fluids were reported. The electric field dependent yield stress are obtained from experimental investigation on the Bingham property of the ER fluid. Using ER fluids, it is possible to directly interface between electric drop and flow rate of the ER fluid was hydraulic control valve measured under application of an electric field. The purpose of the present study is pressure drop measurement of an ER valve by using strain gage. The performance characteristics of the valve system are evalusted in terms of pressrue fixed with respect to the intensity of employed electric fields and flow rates. As a result, it is esperimentally confirmed that pressure control valve using ER fluids applicable to use in hydraulic power systems.

The electrorheological (ER) and dielectric behaviors of the polypyrrole(PPy)-coated poly(ethyl methacrylate)(PEMA) suspensions in mineral oil were investigated. PPy was coated on PEMA particles to enhance the particle polarization, which would lead to the enhanced ER response. Various PPy-coated PEMA particles were synthesized by controlling the oxidant amount during the pyrrole polymerization, and the ER responses of their suspensions were investigated. The ER response initially increases with the oxidant amount, passes through a maximum, and then decreases with the oxidant amount. The initial increase in the ER response with oxidant amounts is due to the enhanced particle polarization with the increased particle surface conductivity. The dielectric properties of the corresponding suspensions support that the ER enhancement arises from the enhanced particle polarization. The decrease in the ER response at large oxidant amounts seems to arise from the increased conduction between the PPy-coated PEMA particles.

The purpose of present research was to get characteristics and basic knowledges of electrorheological(ER) suspension. To observe behaviors of the ER suspensions. transparent conductive plates were used to visualize the flow of ER suspensions between two parallel plate electrodes. The influence of flowing speed and intensity of electric field on the ER fluid were examined in circle-shaped electric field, and it takes several hundred milliseconds that suspensions in flow cluster. The present study also conducts a numerical analysis adopting the Bingham model. It is found that simple Bingham model can not property describe the flow behavior in the parallel plates.

A new flow mode of ER fluid available for controlling the damping force by using DME(Discrete Multi-Electrode) is presented in this study. Various characteristics about the flow of ER fluid through the experiment of ER cluster behavior visualization can be assumed. The pressure in electrode length and voltage division mode is measured. An actuator with a damping effect through DME ER damper will be developed. This damper controls the damping force by using the displacement and velocity of the plant which consists of the various electrode length and voltage modes without a controller in the real system.

This study presents a so-called regenerative ER damper which does not require external power sources with aid of energy conversion from kinetic energy into electrical energy. The ER damper is manufactured by employing a rack and pinion mechanism which converts a linear piston motion to a rotary motion. This rotary motion is amplified by gears and subsequently activates a generator to produce an electrical energy. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of the mechanism, with respect to the frequency of the ER damper is investigated a generated electric voltage, which is amplified via a transformer prior to being applied to the ER damper. In addition, the damping force of the ER damper obtained by the regenerated voltage is evaluated.

Since Winslow (1) has reported an electro - theological (ER) effect which features remarkable and reversible changes in the properties of the fluid due to an imposed external electric field, numerous applications of ER fluids in mechanical devices, such as clutches, control valves, active dampers, and etc. have been proposed to improye dramatical ly their performances (2,3). When the external electric field is imposed to the ER fluid, it behaves as a Bingham fluid, displaying a field dependent yield shear stress which is widely variable. Without the electric field, the ER fluid has a reversible and constant viscosity so that it flows as a Newtonian fluid. Another salient feature of the ER fluid is that the time required for the variation is very short (< 0.001 sec) (4-6). These attractive.characteristics of the ER fluid provide the possibility of the appearance of new engineering technology , for instance, an active vibration control system. Recently, the application of the ER fluid to rotor-bearing systems has been also initiated.

In this paper, skyhook control of a semi-active ER(Electro-Rheological) damper is investigated. The strength of the ER damper is controlled by a high voltage power supply. This paper deals with a two-degree-of-freedom suspension using the damper with ERF for a quarter vehicle system. The control law for semi-active suspensions modeled in this study is developed using skyhook and Linear Quadratic Regulator(LQR) optimal control method. Computer simulation and experimental results show that the semi-active suspension with ERF damper has good performances of ride quality.

Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are essential organelles in eukaryotic cells, which play key roles in various biological pathways. Mitochondria are responsible for ATP production, maintenance of $Ca^{2+}$ homeostasis and regulation of apoptosis, while ER is involved in protein folding, lipid metabolism as well as $Ca^{2+}$ homeostasis. These organelles have their own functions, but they also communicate via mitochondrial-associated ER membrane (MAM) to provide another level of regulations in energy production, lipid process, $Ca^{2+}$ buffering, and apoptosis. Hence, defects in MAM alter cell survival and death. Here, we review components forming the molecular junctions of MAM and how MAM regulates cellular functions. Furthermore, we discuss the effects of impaired ER-mitochondrial communication in various neurodegenerative diseases.
