To investigate the effect of metal back-reflective layers (MBLs) on the performance of GaAs solar cells, we fabricated GaAs solar cells on Al and Ag metal layers using the transfer printing technique. We also investigated the effect of MBL texturing on the performance of transfer printed GaAs solar cells. Transfer printed solar cells with MBLs exhibited improved photovoltaic performance compared to solar cells without MBLs due to light trapping. We demonstrated GaAs solar cells with MBLs on a flexible substrate and performed systematic bending tests. All the measured characteristics of solar cells showed little change in performance.

이산화탄소 지중저장 수행 중 저류층 내부에서 나타나는 비혼성 유체의 대체 과정은 다공성 매체의 공극 표면에 대한 각 유체의 습윤 특성에 따라서 배수(drainage)와 흡수(imbibition)로 구분되는데, 각 과정 동안 나타나는 비혼성 유체 간의 거동 및 포획 양상을 이해하는 것은 주입 효율성 및 저장 안정성을 평가하는데 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 다공성 매체 내 주기적인 배수와 흡수 과정의 수행을 통해 공극 구조 내 비혼성 유체의 거동 양상 및 분포의 변화를 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 2차원 마이크로모델 내부로 이산화탄소와 공극수의 대체 유체로서 선정된 헥산과 탈이온수를 주기적으로 교차 주입하는 실험을 수행하였다. 관측 결과를 이용하여 각 유체 주입 과정에서 나타나는 두 비혼성 유체의 거동 양상을 비교 분석하고, 잔류 유체의 포화도를 산정하였다. 분석의 결과로서 헥산과 탈이온수의 잔류 포획 유형을 기작에 따라 습윤성(wettability), 모관압(capillarity), 막다른 공극(dead end zone), 포위(entrapment) 그리고 우회(bypassing)로 구분하였다. 또한, 교차 주입이 거듭됨에 따라 공극 구조 내에서 주입 유체의 흐름 경로는 주 흐름 경로(main flow channel)를 중심으로 단순화되었으며, 이로 인하여 주입 유체의 대체 효율은 일정한 값으로 수렴하였다. 실험적 관측과 분석의 결과는 실제 이산화탄소 지중저장 환경에서 습윤성-비습윤성 유체의 주기적인 교차 주입이 야기하는 저장층 내 비혼성 유체의 거동과 분포, 그리고 주입 유체의 대체 효율을 예측하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The pumpability of the grouts is significant issue in concept of the rheological and workability properties during penetrating to voids and cracks. To improve the fluidity features of the grout mixes, the usage of Colloidal Nano Particular Powders (CNPPs) with mineral additives such as fly ash (FA) can contribute. Therefore, the main purpose of this study can be explained as investigating the usage effects of four types of Colloidal Nano Particular Powders (n-TiO₂, n-ZnO, n-Al₂O₃ and n-SiO₂) as nano additives on the rheological, workability and bleeding properties of cement-based grout incorporated with fly as. Test results showed that the usage of FA in the grout samples positively contribute to increase on the fluidity of the grout samples as expected. The dilatant behavior was observed from the results for all mixes. Observing the effect of nano-sized additives in such cement-based grout mixtures with high fluidity has presented remarkable effects in this study.

Rising concern about climate change has evoked interest in the potential for urban vegetation to help reduce the level of atmospheric CO\sub 2\, a major heat-trapping gas. This study quantified the functio of home energy savings and carbon emission reduction by shading, evapotranspiration and windspeed reduction of urban vegetatioin in Chuncheon. Tree and shrub cover averaged approximately 13% in residential land. The effects of shading, evapotranspiration and windspeed reduction annually saved heating energy by 2.2% and cooling energy by 8.8%. The heating and cooling energy savings reduced carbon emissions by 3.0% annually. These avoided emissions equaled the amount of carbon emitted annually from fossil fuel consumption by a population of about 1,230. Carbon emission reduction per residential building was 55kg for detached buildings and 872 kg for multifamily buildings. Urban vegetation annually decreased heating and cooling energy cost by ￦1.1 billions, which were equivalent to annual savings of ￦10,000 savings and carbon emission reduction due to tree plantings in the wrong locations, while windspeed reduction had a great effect. Plantings fo large trees close to the west and east wall of buildings, full tree plantings on the north, and avoidance of shade-tree plantings or selection of solar-friendlytrees on the south were recommended to improve the function of building energy savings and carbon emission reduction by urban vegetation.

In this study, we investigated the effect of the spring constant on frictional behavior at a nanoscale through molecular dynamics simulation. A small cube-shaped tip was modeled and placed on a flat substrate. We did not apply the normal force to the tip but applied adhesive force between the tip and the substrate. The tip was horizontally pulled by a virtual spring to generate relative motion against the substrate. The controlled spring constant of the virtual spring ranged from 0.3 to 70 N/m to reveal its effect on frictional behavior. During the sliding simulation, we monitored the frictional force and the position of the tip. As the spring constant decreased from 70 to 0.3 N/m, the frictional force increased from 0.1 to 0.25 nN. A logarithmic relationship between the frictional force and spring constant was established. The stick-slip instability and potential energy slope increased with a decreasing spring constant. Based on the results, an increase in the spring constant reduces the probability of trapping in the local minima on the potential energy surface. Thus, the energy loss of escaping the potential well is minimized as the spring constant increases.

고전압 절연 게이트 바이폴라 트랜지스터 (IGBT)의 개발로 기존의 GTO(Gate Turnoff Thyristor)가 적용되는 분야에서 더 효율적인 새로운 소자로 인정받고 있다. IGBT는 금속 산화막 반도체 트랜지스터(MOSFET)와 바이폴라 전력 트랜지스터의 장점을 결합한 소자이다. IGBT의 전기적 특성의 변화는 주로 입력단자에 MOSFET와 출력단자에 PNP 트랜지스터의 특성에 달려있다. IGBT의 가장 중요한 설계변수중의 하나인 문턱전압의 변화는 방사선이 존재하는 환경에 게이트 산화막(oxide)에서 전하포획(charge trapping)에 의해 발생되고 에너지 손실을 야기시킨다. 또한, 에너지 손실은 초퍼회로의 인덕턴스 값이 변화될 때 발생됨을 연구한다. 본 논문에서 IGBT의 전기적 특성을 SPICE로 시뮬레이션하고, IGBT 기반 인덕턴스와 문턱전압의 변화에 따른 전기적 특성을 분석하고자 한다.

Changes in surface morphology and roughness of dc sputtered ZnO:Al/Ag back reflectors by varying the deposition temperature and their influence on the performance of flexible silicon thin film solar cells were systematically investigated. By increasing the deposition temperature from $25^{\circ}C$ to $500^{\circ}C$, the grain size of Ag thin films increased from 100 nm to 1000 nm and the grain size distribution became irregular, which resulted in an increment of surface roughness from 6.6 nm to 46.6 nm. Even after the 100 nm thick ZnO:Al film deposition, the surface morphology and roughness of the ZnO:Al/Ag double structured back reflectors were the same as those of the Ag layers, meaning that the ZnO:Al films were deposited conformally on the Ag films without unnecessary changes in the surfacefeatures. The diffused reflectance of the back reflectors improved significantly with the increasing grain size and surface roughness of the Ag films, and in particular, an enhanced diffused reflectance in the long wavelength over 800 nm was observed in the Ag back reflectors deposited at $500^{\circ}C$, which had an irregular grain size distribution of 200-1000 nm and large surface roughness. The improved light scattering properties on the rough ZnO:Al/Ag back reflector surfaces led to an increase of light trapping in the solar cells, and this resulted in a noticeable improvement in the $J_{sc}$ values from 9.94 mA/$cm^2$ for the flat Ag back reflector at $25^{\circ}C$ to 13.36 mA/$cm^2$ for the rough one at $500^{\circ}C$. A conversion efficiency of 7.60% ($V_{oc}$ = 0.93, $J_{sc}$ = 13.36 mA/$cm^2$, FF = 61%) was achieved in the flexible silicon thin film solar cells at this moment.

A 70-${\AA}$ nanowire field-effect transistor (FET) for sub-10-nm CMOS technology is designed and simulated in order to investigate the impact of an oxide trap on random telegraph noise (RTN) in the device. It is observed that the drain current fluctuation (${\Delta}I_D/I_D$) increases up to a maximum of 78 % due to the single electron trapping. In addition, the effect of various trap positions on the RTN in the nanowire FET is thoroughly analyzed at various drain and gate voltages. As the drain voltage increases, the peak point for the ${\Delta}I_D/I_D$ shifts toward the source side. The distortion in the electron carrier density and the conduction band energy when the trap is filled with an electron at various positions in the device supports these results.

The theory was analyzed and the computer program was developed for simulation about ceramic filter in the state of the one-strip electrode using the energy trapping effect. They were fabricated using the PZT-4 specimen. Each of the average differances of the resonant point and bandwidth between by the theoretical calculations and by experiment results was 5.6[%] and 3.72[%], and it is considered that this differance is originated from the high temperature and stress during the process that the ceramic filter was fabricated It is considered that the one-strip ceramic filter having a wanted characteristics and the lowest differance is fabricated easily by means of the simulation developed in this paper and the fabrication methods.

고온 프로톤전도체인 $Y_2O_3$가 도핑된 $SrZrO_3$에 대하여 전기전도도의 가스 분위기 및 온도 의존도를 impedance spectroscopy로 측정하였다. 수소의 용해는 산소가 공존할 때 더 큰 열역학적 추진력을 갖게 되어 결과적으로 수증기 형태로 결정 속으로 유입되며, 프로톤전도도는 ${P_w}^{1/2}$ (수증기분압)에 의존하여 증가하였다. 순수 수소 분위기에서의 수소의 용해반응 $H_2(g)=2H_{i}$ +2e'은 전자가 산소이온공공에 trapping됨에 따른 열역학적 활동도의 감소에 의해 반응의 추진력이 커지며 그 결과 저온에서는 아르곤 분위기에서 보다 높은 전기전도도를 나타내었다. 전기전도도의 활성화에너지는 $600~900^{\circ}C$ 온도범위의 아르곤분위기에서 50kJ/mo1로 문헌에 나타난 프로톤전도도의 그것과 비슷한 크기를 나타냈다. 프로톤전도도의 입계저항은 10% 도핑한 경우 $700^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온에서 현저하게 나타났다.
