The optical characteristics of cresol red, phenol red, and neutral red immobilized in the thin film were investigated with absorbance measurement in order to find a sensing part of a fiber-optic pH sensor. Sol-Gel method with tetramethyl orthosilicate as a precursor was used to immobilize the pH indicators in the thin film. The absorbance spectra were measured when pH indicators were immobilized in the film and were dissolved in the buffer solution. Experimental results showed that the absorbance spectra could be changed when the pH indicator is immobilized in the thin film. As compared with other pH indicators, the neutral red exhibited similar absorbance spectra regardless of physical conditions and was sensitive over whole pH range between 4 and 11. In addition, the absorbance ratio of base peak to acid peak tended to increase in proportion to the increase in pH. Experimental results indicate that the neutral red is a good pH indicator for fabrication of a sensing part of the fiber-optic pH sensor.

A study has been conducted to provide the experimental information for the velocity and temperature profiles of steam-air mixutre and to investigate their roles on the film condensation with wavy interface. Saturated gas mixture of steam-air was made to flow through the nearly horizontal$(4.1^{\circ})$ square duct of 0.1m width and 1.56m length at atmospheric pressure, and was condensated on the bottom cold plate. The air mass fraction in the gas mixture was changed from zero(W =0, pure steam) to one(W =1, pure air), and the bulk velocity was varied from 2 to 4 m/s. Water film was injected concurrently to investigate the effect of wavy interface on the condensation. The velocity and temperature profiles were measured by LDA system and thermocouples along the three parameters ; air mass fraction, mixture velocity and film flow rate. The profiles moved toward the interface with increasing steam mass fraction, mixture velocity and film flow rate. The Prandtl and Schmidt numbers were near one in the present experimental range, however there was no complete similarity between the velocity and temperature profiles of gas mixture. And the heat transfer characteristics and interfacial structure were coupled with each other.

The mechanical as well as tribological characteristics of coating films as thin as a few nm become more crucial as applications in micro-systems grow. Especially, the amorphous carbon film has a potential to be used as a protective layer for micro-systems. In this work, quantitative evaluation of nano-indentation, scratching, and wear tests were performed on the 7nm thick amorphous carbon film using an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). It was shown that AFM-based nano-indentation using a diamond coated tip can be feasibly utilized for mechanical characterization of ultra-thin films. Also, it was found that the critical load where the failure of the carbon film occurred was about 18${\mu}$N by the ramp load scratch test. Finally, the wear experimental results showed that the quantitative wear rate of the carbon film ranged 10$\^$-9/～10$\^$-8/ ㎣ /N cycle. These experimental methods can be effectively utilized for a better understanding the mechanical and tribological characteristics at the nano-scale.

In this study, $Si_3N_4$/SnZnO/AZO/Ag/Ti/ITO multi-layer film were prepared on glass substrate by DC/RF magnetron sputtering method. To prevent interfacial reaction between Ag and ITO layer, Ti buffer layer was inserted. Optical properties and sheet resistance were studied depending on laminating times of each multi-layered film especially in visible ray. The simulation program, EMP (essential macleod program), was adopted and compared with experimental data to expect the experimental result. It was found out that the transmittance of the first stacked $Si_3N_4$/SnZnO/AZO/Ag/Ti/ITO multi-layer film was more than 90%. However, with increasing stacking times, the optical properties of $Si_3N_4$/SnZnO/AZO/Ag/Ti/ITO multi-layer film get worse. Consequently, Ti layer is good for oxidation barrier, but too many uses of this layer may have an adverse effect to optical properties of TCO film.

The objective of the present study was to investigate heat and mass transfer characteristics in a vertical falling film type absorber using LiBr-$H_2O$ solution with 6owt%. The experimental apparatus consisted of an absorber with inner diameter of 17.2 mm and length of 1150mm, a generator, an evaporator/condenser, a solution tank, a sampling trap etc. The parameters were solution temperature of 45 and $50^{\circ}C$, coolant temperature of 30 and $35^{\circ}C$, and film Reynolds numbers from 50 to 150. Pressure drop in the absorber increased as solution and coolant temperatures decreased. Pressure drop in the absorber increased up to the film Reynolds number of 90, and then decreased at the further increase of the Reynolds number above 90. The maximum absorption mass flux observed at the film Reynolds number of 90. Absorption mass flukes increased as coolant temperature decreased. Absorption mass fluxes and heat transfer coefficients under subcooled condition were larger than those under superheated condition. Heat transfer coefficients were affected by solution temperature more than coolant temperature. The maximum absorption effectiveness under the subcooled condition was 23% for coolant temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and 31% for coolant temperature of $35^{\circ}C$ under the present experimental conditions.

Multilayer co-extrusion blown film construction is a popular technique for producing plastic films for various packaging industries. Automated detection of defective films can improve the quality of film production process. In this paper, we propose a film inspection system that can detect and classify film defects robustly. In our system, first, film images are acquired through a high speed line-scan camera under an appropriate lighting system. In order to detect and classify film defects, an inspection algorithm is developed. The algorithm divides the typical film defects into two groups: intensity-based and texture-based. Intensity-based defects are classified based on geometric features. Whereas, to classify texture-based defects, a texture analysis technique based on local binary pattern (LBP) is adopted. Experimental results revealed that our film inspection system is effective in detecting and classifying defects for the multilayer co-extrusion blown film construction line.

탄소 원자 간의 interaction potential로서 Tersoff에 의해 제안된 반 경험적인 potential을 이용하여 고경질 탄소박막의 합성 거동을 전산 모사하였다. 고에너지의 탄소익사를 diamond (100) 표면에 충돌시켜 고밀도의 비정질 탄소박막을 만들 수 있었으며, 전산모사에 의해 합성된 탄소 박막의 물성과 Shin 등이 발표한 filtered cathodic arc 공정에 의해 합성된 탄소의 물성을 비교하였다. ta-C 합성 실험에서 관찰된 바와 같이 최적의 에너지 영역에서 다이아몬드에 가장 유사한 물성의 필름이 합성되었으며, 이때의 입사원자 에너지인 50 eV 는 실험적으로 최적의 필름이 얻어지는 조건에서의 탄소이온 에너지와 유사하였다. 전산모사에 의해 합성된 박막은 비정질이었으며, 다이아몬드 lattice에 해당하는 short range order를 가지긴 있었다. 그러나, 최적의 에너지 조건에서는 2.1 $\AA$의 거리의 준안정 site에 탄소들이 많이 존재하는 것을 알 수 있었는데, 이는 필름 표면의 국부적 급냉효과가 최대가 되는 조건과 일치하였다. 이러한 결과는 다이아몬드상 카본필름의 합성에 있어서, 고 에너지의 탄소인자가 충돌하면서 발생하는 국소적인 열에너지의 증가가 가장 빨리 제거되는 조건에서 최적의 물성을 가지는 경질탄소 필름이 형성되는 것을 보여주고 있다.

Effect of bombardment of the growing film by energetic particles on its properties is know over many years and is widely used for modification of the film properties. Despite of this there are no final answers on such questions as: what is the mechanism of compositional changes that take place for some compound films deposited under the ion bombardment, how the ion bombardment influences the epitaxial growth, what mechanisms govern the growth of the film on its early stages during deposition under the ion bombardment. The role of composition of film-forming species in formation of film structure is barely investigated or even not investigated at all. Experimental evidence and discussion of the influence of ion bombardment and composition of film-forming species on structure and composition of compound films are briefly considered in the review.

Surface plasmon resonance(SPR) has been widely studied for biological and chemical sensing applications. The present study conducts numerical simulation for the single and bimetallic layer SPR configurations by using the multiple beam interference matrix(MBIM) method to investigate the influence of wave interference and complex refractive indices of materials on optical characteristics such as reflectance and optical phase shift which are used for sensing. First, calculated reflectances are compared with experimental data for validation. In addition, in the single film structures this study finds out the appropriate film thicknesses with minimum reflectance for cases of gold film and silver film. For a bimetallic silver-gold film structure, in particular, the bimetallic film thicknesses that has the minimum reflectance are found 36 nm for silver and 5 nm for gold. From the results, the use of phase shift would be useful compared to reflectance in determining the SPR configuration because the phase shift becomes more sensitive than reflectance.

Effect of solution property on the weight varation and microstructural change of film was studied by electrophoretic deposition in order to obtain a homogeneous and dense zirconia film. As a result of weight kinetics of film which obtained in alcohol or aqueous solution having different polarity experimental data showed large deviation from theoretical ones calculated by Zhang's kinetic model. It had been shown that the weight affecting factors was largely dependent on properties other than dielectric constant and viscosity of solvent zeta potential appiled field and time. In initial stage a main factor of the drastic weight increase was the capillary drag of porous substrate. The cause of weight decrease with time in aqueous solution after 300 s was attributed to the defect of film by sagging and electrolytic reaction. The electrolyte film which prepared in alcohol solution with good wetting for substrate had better homogeneous and dense microstructure than one in aqueous solution with high surface tension.
