A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrain has more than one energy source including a high-voltage electric battery. However, for a high voltage electric battery, the average current is relatively low for a given power level. Introduced to increase the voltage of a HEV battery, a compact, high-efficiency boost converter, sometimes called a step-up converter, is a dc-dc converter with an output voltage greater than its input voltage. The inductor occupies more than 30% of the total converter volume making it difficult to get high power density. The inductor should have the characteristics of good thermal stability, low weight, low losses and low EMI. In this paper, Mega Flux^® was selected as the core material among potential core candidates. Different structured inductors with Mega Flux^® were fabricated to compare the performance between the conventional air cooled and proposed potting structure. The proposed inductor has reduced the weight by 75% from 8.8kg to 2.18kg and the power density was increased from 15.6W/cc to 56.4W/cc compared with conventional inductor. To optimize the performance of proposed inductor, the potting materials with various thermal conductivities were investigated. Silicone with alumina was chosen as potting materials due to the high thermo-stable properties. The proposed inductors used potting material with thermal conductivities of 0.7W/m·K, 1.0W/m·K and 1.6W/m·K to analyze the thermal performance. Simulations of the proposed inductor were fulfilled in terms of magnetic flux saturation, leakage flux and temperature rise. The temperature rise and power efficiency were measured with the 40kW boost converter. Experimental results show that the proposed inductor reached the temperature saturation of 107℃ in 20 minutes. On the other hand, the temperature of conventional inductor rose by 138℃ without saturation. And the effect of thermal conductivity was verified as the highest thermal conductivity of potting materials leads to the lowest temperature saturations.

PS 긴장재의 긴장률, 온도 그리고 자속투과율의 상호관계가 실험적으로 조사되었다. 자속투과율은 두 지점 사이의 자속이 통과하는 비율이다. 실험에 사용된 긴장재는 케이블 교량에 주로 사용되는 ϕ7 mm 고강도 강선과 PSC 긴장재로 사용되는 ϕ12.7 mm 강연선이다. 다양한 도입 긴장률과 온도 조건하에서 강선과 강연선의 자속투과율 실험이 수행되었다. 실험결과로부터, PS 긴장재의 자속투과율은 도입 긴장률에 선형 비례하고, 온도에 선형 반비례함을 알 수 있다. PS 긴장재의 자속투과율-온도-긴장률 사의의 실험적 관계를 미리 알게 되면, 현장에서 PS 강재의 자속투과율과 온도만을 계측함으로써, PS 긴장재의 현재 긴장응력 수준을 변형률 계측 없이 직접 평가할 수 있다.

The sensor at liquid nitrogen temperature showed the increase of electrical resistance by applying magnetic field. Actually, the voltage drop across the sensor was changed from zero to a value more than $100\;{\mu}V$ by the applied magnetic field. The change of electrical resistance depended on magnetic field. The sensitivity of this sensor was $2.9\;{\Omega}/T$. The sensing limit was about $1.5{\times}10^{-5}\;T$. The increase of electrical resistance by the magnetic field was ascribed to a modification of the Josephson junctions due to the penetrating magnetic flux into the superconducting material. Considering the observed properties of the superconductor with trapped magnetic flux, a magnetic sensor was fabricated to detect simultaneously both the intensity and the direction of the magnetic field.

펄스-플라즈마를 이용하여 상온에서 실리콘나이트라이드 박막을 제조하였다. 증착 중에 이온에너지 분석기를 이용하여 이온에너지와 이온에너지, flux를 측정하였다. Duty ratio는 30~90%까지 변화시키면서, 이온에너지와 굴절률의 관계를 연구하였다. Duty ratio의 감소에 따라 이온에너지는 증가하였다. 낮은 Duty ratio의 범위에서 이온에너지 flux의 변화가 현저하였다. 굴절율은 Duty ratio의 변화에 따라 복잡하게 변화하였지만 $N_h$과의 강한 상관성을 보였다. 전체 Duty ratio의 변화에 대해 굴절률은 1.819에서 1.846으로 미미하게 변화하였다.

Single crystals of YBa2Cu3Ox superconductor were grown by means of the flux method. The effectof starting material, cooling rate, melting time, and melting temperjature were evaluated as influencing paraemters. The larger single crystals of YBa2Cu3Ox were obtained with Y2BaCuOy powder as a starting material than with YBa2Cu3Ox powder. The optimum range of synthetic condition for single crystal growth was as follows ; 2-5$^{\circ}C$/hour of cooling rate, 2-5 hour of melting time and melting temperature at 106$0^{\circ}C$. The obtained size of single crystal was 2mm in average and the largest one was 5mm in maximum.

The link for the Superconducting Flux Flow Transistor (SFFT) which is based on the flux flow has been fabricated by the ICP etching methods. The channel width and the thickness of the SFFT were a 3 ${\mu}$m and about 300 nm, respectively. The superconducting characteristic of the link was measured by the x-ray diffraction and the E.D.S.. The SFFT etched by ICP showed an I-V characteristic like the three terminal transistor.

An electromagnetic memory effect observed in superconducting YBCO system was studied. From the measurement of differential conductance, it was cleared that the mechanism of electromagnetic memory can not be explained by using conventional flux flow model. By changing the density of external magnetic flux, changes m inductance of a coil in which a superconducting bar is inserted were also measured. It was concluded that the electromagnetic memory effect aries from the interaction between the trapped magnetic flux and the weak link of the filament formed in the superconducting bar.

The channel of the superconducting Flux Flow Transistor has been fabricated with plasma etching method using ICP. The ICP conditions were 700 W of ICP power, 150 W of rf chuck power, 5 mTorr of the pressure in chamber and 1:1 of Ar : Cl$_2$, respectively. The channel etched by plasma gas showed superconducting characteristics of over 77 K and superior surface morphology. The critical current of SFFT was altered by varying the external applied current. As the external applied current increased from 0 to 12 mA, the critical current decreased from 28 to 22 mA. Then the obtained r$\sub$m/ values were smaller than 0.1Ω at a bias current of 40 mA. The current gain was about 0.5. Output resistance was below 0.2 Ω.
