A micro-gas sensor with heater and sensing electrode on the same plane was fabricated on phosphosilicate glass(PSG, 800nm)/$Si_3N_4$ (150nm) dielectric membrane. PSG film was provided by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition(APCVD), and $Si_3N_4$ film by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). Total area of the fabricated device was $3.78{\times}3.78mm^2$. The area of diaphragm was $1.5{\times}1.5mm^2$, and that of the sensing layer was $0.24{\times}0.24mm^2$. Finite-element simulation was employed to estimate temperature distribution for a square-shaped diaphragm. The power consumption of Pt heater was about 85mW at $350^{\circ}C$. Tin thin films were deposited on the silicon substrate by thermal evaporation at room temperature and $232^{\circ}C$, and tin oxide films($SnO_2$) were prepared by thermal oxidation of the metallic tin films at $650^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours in oxygen ambient. The film analyses were carried out by SEM and XRD techniques. Effects of humidity and ambient temperature on the resistance of the sensing layer were found to be negligible. The fabricated micro-gas sensor exhibited high sensitivity to butane gas.

The mechanical and electrical properties of the hot-pressed and annealed $\beta$-Sic-$TiB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites were investigated as function of the liquid forming additives of $Al_{2}O_{3}+Y_{2}O_3$. Phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed $\alpha$-SiC(6H), $TiB_2$, and YAG($Al_{5}Y_{3}O_{12}$). The relative density and the mechanical properties of composites were increased with increasing $Al_{2}O_{3}+Y_{2}O_3$ contents because YAG of reaction between $Al_{2}O_3$ and $Y_{2}O_3$ was increased. The Flexural strength showed the highest value of 432.5MPa for composites added with l2wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}+Y_{2}O_3$ additives at room temperature. Owing to crack deflection, crack bridging, phase transition and YAG of fracture toughness mechanism. the fracture toughness showed 7.1MPa${\cdot}m^{1/2}$. For composites added with l2wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}+Y_{2}O_3$ additives at room temperature The electrical resistivity and the resistance temperature coefficient respectively showed the lowest of 6.0${\sim}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}$ cm and 3.1${\times}10^{-3}/^{\circ}C$ for composite added with l2wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}+Y_{2}O_3$ additives at room temperature. The electrical resistivity of the composites was all positive temperature coefficient resistance(PTCR) in the temperature range of 25$^{\circ}C$ to 700$^{\circ}C$.

$LaCoO_3$ thick-film sensors were fabricated on alumina substrate by screen printing method. The sensitivity for gases was investigated by varying the heat treatment temperature of the films. X-Ray Diffractions and SEM photographs were used to examine their structural properties. The sensitivity of $LaCoO_3$ thick-film for CO gas was much better than for $C_4H_{10}$, $NH_3$ and NO gases. The best condition of heat treatment was $800^{\circ}C$ and the optimal operating temperature of $LaCoO_3$ thick-film for the highest sensitivity was $150^{\circ}C$. Sensitivities of the $LaCoO_3$ thick-film at 500ppm and l000ppm for CO gas were 72% and 95%, respectively.

Since Au-Pt alloys have various atomic structures depending upon composition and annealing temperature, it is very interesting to investigate the electronic structures of alloys. We studied the changes of the electronic structure I the Au-Pt alloys by x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES). Two kinds of Au-Pt alloy samples were prepared by arc melting methods and ion-beam-mixing technique. The Pt L2, 3-edge and Au L2, 3-edge X-ray absorption spectra (XPS) were measured with the electron yield mode detector at the 3C1 beam line of the Pohang Light Source (PLS). It was found that there was a substantial decrease in the area of the Pt L2, 3 white lines compared with that of pure Pt. The observed decrease in white line area was attributed to an increase in the number of pure Pt. The observed decrease in white line area was attributed to an increase in the number of 5d-electrons at the Pt site upon alloy formation. However, the Au L2, 3 edge spectra for Au-Pt alloys are all similar to that of pure Au. This implies that the 5d hole count of Au is not changed by alloy formation with Pt.

The purpose of the present study is to examine the heat transfer characteristics of the U-shape heat pipe for the cooling of semiconductor in subway train. Perflouro-carbon(PFC) was used as working fluid. Temperature distribution on the surface and heat transfer coefficients were investigated according to the working fluid volume percent and heating rate. The results were as follows; Optimum volumetric percent of working fluid was from 80% to 90%, and hat transfer coefficients of evaporation and condensation were as follows, respectively. $\hbar_ie=0.37\times(\frac{P_i}{P_O})$l_c}^0.3$,$\hbar_ic-4.2(\frac{\kappa_l^3p_l^2gh_fg}{\mu_lq_c_l_c}^\frac{1}{3}

I-V characteristics of Praseodymium-based ZnO varistor doped with $Nd_2O_3$ in the range 0.0-2.0mol% sintered at 130$0^{\circ}C$ and 135$0^{\circ}C$ were investigated. In the all sides, ZnO varistors sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ exhibited much better varistor characteristics than that at 135$0^{\circ}C$. All ZnO varistors doped with $Nd_2O_3$ sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ exhibited good varistor characteristics but particularly ZnO varistor doped with l.Omol% $Nd_2O_3$ exhibited the best characteristics, which the nonlinear is 65.2 and the leakage current is 4.5pA. It is estimated that ZnO varistor doped with l.Omol% $Nd_2O_3$ will begin to be sufficiently used as basic composition to fabricate a good varistor.

The dielectric anisotropy and dispersion of the real and imaginary part of the permittivity of commercially important nematic mixture E-24 and its polymer composite were investigated in the frequency range from 1 kHz to 10 MHz, and temperature range $14^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$. The percentage optical transmittance and density have also been measured for both the systems. The results have been explained by assuming molecular rotation about the long molecular axis, under a hindering nematic potential. The dielectric anisotropy ${\Delta}{\varepsilon}$ is positive, and the mean dielectric permittivity falls with rising temperature. ${\Delta}{\varepsilon}$ is also used to determine the order parameter with varying temperature.

This paper describes a design of the external-exciting electronic ballast for 100W high pressure sodium lamp. The ballast is consists of the full-bridge inverter and an external-exciting control circuit. L and C values of an equivalent L-C series resonant circuit are calculated analytically. The electrical output characteristics of the ballast, such as voltage, current etc., are simulated by Pspice. The experimental results from high pressure sodium lamp system with the ballast we developed are shown to be consistent with the simulated results.
