The properties of electrical resistance of Mn-Co-Ni-Fe oxide-based therrnistor with various Fe contents in sintering process at 1200 to 1400℃ for 4 hours in air atmosphere for fabricating therrnistor materials were investigated. The results were as follows: all samples showed single cubic spinel crystal structures in all region. The electrical conductivinity is the highlest thermistor sintered at 1300℃ for 4 hours. In general when the Fe content is increased except F-2, the resistivity increases and relatively the conductivity decreases. Particularly F-2 composition exhibited the highlest electrical conductivity(1.4x $10^-3$$Ω$cm) and relatively low B constant(2906K)

The estimation of seawater intrusion into deep aquifers has been becoming an important subject in terms of site characterization for geological disposal of radioactive waste. Conventional direct-current resistivity methods have been used for ground water explorations and recently have been applied to environmental problems. However, electromagnetic methods are more practical and useful for such a deep investigation. We consider audio-frequency magnetotelluric (AMT) and surface-to-borehole electromagnetic (EM) tomography methods as promising tools for the investigation of deep aquifer. These methods were tested in the Hasunuma area, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Although the study area is in an urban area, high-quality AMT data were acquired, which was mainly accomplished by night-time data recording and remote-reference data processing. One-dimensional inversion results of the AMT data revealed two extremely conductive zones, which is consistent with the electrical conductivity profile of pore water in core samples. It can be interpreted as the seawater intrusions into both zones. However, the chemical analysis of the groundwater sampled in the deep zone suggests that this groundwater must be fossil seawater that had been confined during sedimentation processes. In addition, the permeability coefficient of the deep layer is very low. Thus the deep conductive zone corresponds to the fossil seawater regarded as being difficult to flow.

Successful field test results for high-current time-lapse electrical imaging in marine sediments area are discussed. Because field trial by commercially available equipments were failed, self-developed system which supports transmitting current up to 5 ampere was used. Some weak zones due to local fractures were detected, but the weak zone effect in this area by time-lapse measurements from sea level change was minor.

Comprehension of physical properties distribution of underground cavity must be made primarily to show the clear image of the state of the cavity. A physical scale model experiment is executed assuming that underground cavity in filled with air or water of different ratio. The state of cavity wall is considered wet. Cavity model is made of agar. As a experimental result, even if the cavity wall is wet, high air and water ratio cavity shows high anomaly.

No-insulation (NI) pancake magnets are fabricated using Rare earth-Barium-Copper Oxide (REBCO) coated conductor (CC) tapes, which enabled a very compact magnet in the aspects of high critical current density ($J_c$) and high mechanical strength by removing insulation and allowing thinner stabilizer. They have also advantages such as self-quench protection. Therefore, it does not need quench detection and protection that can be very challenging in a high critical temperature ($T_c$) superconducting magnet technology. Recently, it was reported that the NI REBCO CC magnets have some drawbacks of long charging time and high field ramp loss which will be a concern in the operation of cryocooled magnets. These issues are related to the turn-to-turn contact resistivity and can be released by managing it. This is also closely related to the activity of reducing the contact joint resistance in the case of CC joints for long length CC fabrication. Therefore, in this study, the turn-to-turn contact resistance ($R_c$) at the CC contact part of differently stabilized CC tapes was measured. The behaviors of $R_c$ at CC contact parts according to the applied contact pressure were investigated. The range of $R_c$ measured for CC tapes adopted will provide fundamental data for design and fabrication of the CC NI coils.

A combination of drilling, geophysical well logging, and electrical soundings was performed to evaluate seawater intrusion in Baeksu-eup, Youngkwang-gun, Korea. The survey area extends for over 24 $km^2$. To delineate the extent of seawater intrusion, 60 vertical electrical soundings (VES) have been carried out. Twelve wells were also drilled for the collection of hydrogeological, geochemical, and geophysical well logging data, to delineate the degree and vertical extent of seawater intrusion. To map the spatial distribution of seawater in this coastal aquifer, geophysical data and hydrogeochemical results were used, and the relation between the resistivity of groundwater and equivalent NaCl concentration was found. Layer parameters derived from VES data, various in-situ physical properties from geophysical well logging, and the estimated equivalent NaCl concentration were very useful for quantitative evaluation of seawater intrusion. Our approach for evaluating seawater intrusion can be considered a valuable attempt at enhancing the use of geophysical data.

Geological storage of carbon dioxide has been studying in advanced countries to reduce greenhouse gases and a pilot site for geological storage is also in operation in the deep saline aquifer. Seismic wave and electrical resistivity tomography methods are applicable to monitoring techniques and they are used to evaluate the distribution range and behavior of the carbon dioxide injected in the porous sandstone formations. This paper describes the construction of an experimental apparatus which consists of a high pressure vessel and a measurement system for geological storage of carbon dioxide. The experiment apparatus will be used to measure seismic velocities and resistivities during the injection of carbon dioxide at the supercritical phase in the porous sandstones.

Electrical and electromagnetic methods were widely applied to survey of civil engineering, environment site assessments and maintenance of underground structures in Korea. Electro-physical properties measurements of soil and rock are necessary in order to quantitatively estimate the ground from these survey results. A few geotechnical researcher groups have been simplified measurement system of the electro-physical properties, which was intermittently operating by the necessity. Recent strong concern about $CO_2$ underground storage and development of gas hydrate projects have urged many advanced countries. The electro-physical properties estimation of the deep object stratum is very importance for basic information of these research. So, advanced countries have a high-end measurement system with high temperature(200 degrees) and pressure(300 MPa), also they have been a lot of experience and know-how on the electro-physical properties measurement.

Marine controlled source electromagnetics (CSEM) or sea bed logging (SBL) is an emerging technology which can provide quantitative information on hydrocarbon reservoir embedded in marine sediment. Electromagnetic responses to the resistive formation saturated with a certain amount of hydrocarbon can be characterized by less attenuated profile otherwise exponentially attenuated fields in conductive sea water or through sediments, and thus can be regarded as a direct indicator of hydrocarbon. In this paper, we introduce the technology of marine CSEM in terms of its physical characteristics and in comparison of typical three-dimensional (3-D) seismic method. History and evolution of commercial marine CSEM are also briefly summarized. We then introduce a representative case history showing how marine CSEM works in reality. Outlook of future applications and technical advances to be made are discussed. Finally, we demonstrate a test example of 2.5-D inversion of synthetic data as the groundwork of 3-D inversion of field data that is to be the ultimate goal of technical development.
