  • 1991년 일본 NEC의 Iijima가 탄소 나노튜브를 발견한 이후, 1995년 Smalley와 De Heer에 의해 탄소 나노튜브의 우수한 전폐방출 특성이 보고되면서 탄소 나노튜브를 새로운 전계방출 물질로 응용하기 위한 연구가 세계적으로 활발히 진행되고 있다. 탄소 나노튜브의 전계방출 연구는 대부분 시장규모가 클 것으로 예상되는 field emission display(FEED)의 cathode에 집중되고 있다. FED cathode는 현재 탄소 나노튜브 페이스트를 스크린 프린팅하여 대면적화를 이루고자 하는 방향과 탄소 나노튜브를 기판 위에 chemical vapor deposition(CVD)로 증착하여 고정세화와 저전압 구동을 이루고자 하는 방향으로 진행되고있다.

  • For a high efficient field emission display (FED), the specific vacuum conditions below 10-7 Torr should be required. However, because the FED has the geometrical restriction due to its micro size, the thin film getters can be proposed for chemical pumping as a way to reduce impurity gases in the panel. The thin film getters, developed by employing the coating of new materials such as NI or Pt on getter surface, can be used without any activation process and show the enhanced sorption characteristics. Especially, using the Zr (1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) thin film getters with the Pt surface layer, the significant gettering for various active gases could be achieved from 9$\times$10-5 Torr to 1$\times$10-6 Torr or below. this good sorption properties is mainly contributed to the surface coating layer which shows the catalytic effect for gas dissociation and protects the getter materials against oxidation.

  • Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been well known as electron emitters for field emission applications like FEDs. In this work, we propose as new application a vacuum sensor using CNTs and discuss its current-voltage characteristics as a function of vacuum pressure. The proposed sensor, based on electrical discharge theories in air gap well-known as Townsend theory and as Paschen's law, works by figuring out the variation of the dark current and the initial breakdown voltage depending on the vacuum pressure of air which can ionize through collisions with the electrons accelerated by high electric field.

  • The numerical model that can describe the ignition of the pseudospark discharge using hybrid fluid-particle method has been developed. The evolution process of the discharge has been divided into four phases along the potential distribution. After the plasma enters in the hollow cathode, the confining effect which is one of hollow cathode properties occurs and the electron current on anode rises rapidly. As the plasma expands successively, the sheath contracts and as the electric field in the sheath increases, the field-enhanced thermionic emission(Schottky emission) occurs. From numerical results, the physical mechanism that causes the rapid current rise in the ignition of the pseudospark discharge could be identified.

  • Field electron emission measurements were performed on dielectric-coated tungsten emitters, with apex radii in the nanometer and micrometer range, which were prepared by electrochemical etching in NaOH solution. Measurements were performed in a field electron microscopy (FEM) with a base pressure <$10^{-6}$ Pascal ($10^{-8}$ mbar). Four different types of dielectric were used, namely: (1) Clark Electromedical Instruments epoxylite resin, (2) Epidian 6 produced by Ciech Sarzyna S. A., (3) a Radionox solution of colloidal graphite; and (4) Molyslip 2001 E compound ($MoS_2$ and MoS). Current-voltage measurements and FEM images were used to investigate the characteristics of these composite emitters, and to assess how the different types of dielectric coating affect the suitability of the composite emitter as a potential electron source.

  • BACKGROUND: The main source of ammonia in soils, South Korea is agricultural emissions (e.g., fertilizer application and livestock manure), with the recent emission inventories reporting them to be approximately 80% of the total emissions. Ammonia as a pollutant is originated largely from agricultural activity and is an important contributor to air quality issues in South Korea. The importance of ammonia in agricultural land is also emerging. In this study, the characteristics of ammonia emission from Chinese cabbage cultivation fields with application rates of urea sere were evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS: The ammonia emission characteristics were investigated at the different urea application rates (0, 160, 320, and 640 kg ha-1) and the ammonia emission factor in the Chinese cabbage cultivation field was calculated. As application rate of urea application increased, ammonia emissions increased proportionally. In 2020 and 2021, cumulative ammonia emissions with urea 320 kg ha-1 treatment were 39.3 and 35.2 kg ha-1, respectively for 2020 and 2021. When urea fertilizer was applied, the ammonia emission factors were 0.1217 and 0.1358 NH4+-N kg N kg-1 in 2020 and 2021, respectively. CONCLUSION(S): Ammonia emissions increased as application rate of urea increased, and the average ammonia emission factor of the Chinese cabbage cultivation field for two years was 0.129 NH4+-N kg N kg-1.
