We investigate the crystallographic orientation and strain states of the Ni/Ag ohmic contacts on p-type GaN. The Ag film in the Ni/Ag contact was severely agglomerated during high temperature annealing in air ambient. As a results, after annealing for 24 h, the Ni/Ag contact shows non-linear I-V curve and low light reflectance of ~21% at 460 nm wavelength. High-resolution X-ray diffraction results show that the interplanar spacing of Ag (111) planes is almost same to that of bilk Ag after annealing for 24 hrs, indicating that the in-plane tensile strain in the Ag film was fully relaxed due to the Ag agglomeration.

In order to protect coastal facilities mainly from wave and current actions, the self-locking bio blocks constituting component elements of protecting structures against scouring were designed. These blocks are adapted to the sloping bottom, coastal dunes, and submerged coastal base counteracting the destructive and erosive impulse action. A series of laboratory experiments is necessary to investigate the reflection of water waves over and against a train of protruded or submerged shore structures and compare the reflecting capabilities of incident waves including wave forces. In this study the hydraulic model experiment was conducted to identify the performance of newly designed water affinity bio blocks to keep the coast slope and bottom mound from scouring by reduction of the reflection coefficient and to convince stability of the placements. Revised design of each element of blocks were also tested for field conditions. From the result of experiment, the field applicability of the developed blocks and placement is to be discussed afterward.

높은 굴절률(n_H) 의 ITO films 위에 homoepitaxial 성장 기술로 낮은 굴절률(n_L) 의 ITO를 이중으로 증착한 반사방지막을 연구하였다. 우리는 기판 상에 vapor flux 입사 각도 및 columnar 성장막과 경사각 사이의 상관 관계에 기초하여 낮은 굴절률의 ITO 박막을 Oblique-angle sputtering을 사용하여 증착하였다. Oblique-angle 증착동안 columns 경사각이 incident flux angle 의 증가에 따라 linear 하게 증가했다. 반대로 incident flux angle 이 증가할때 ITO 박막의 굴절률은 현저하게 감소하였는데, 이는 원자의 shadowing effect와 표면 diffusion으로 인하여 필름내의 porosity를 증가시킨 것으로 보여진다. 이러한 결과로 homoepitaxial으로 성장시킨 ITO 이중층 구조 반사방지막 특성이 향상되었으며, 유리 기판 위에서 weight average reflectance가 n_L=1.72, n_H=1.90 에서 6.57%를 달성하였다.

In this paper, hydrogenated amorphous silicon(a-Si:H) grating coupler with distributed Bragg reflector(DBR) is proposed to achieve high-efficiency nanophotonic radiator for Light Detection and Ranging(LiDAR) application. The DBR reduces downward leakage of the optical field below the grating region. As a result, the far-field intensity shows about 1.4 times stronger, compared to the common grating coupler without the DBR.

This paper describes about the simulation and the experimental results of optical cavity with curved mirror surface and vertical mirror surface to improve the light intensity and efficiency of the optical sensors. When we use the vertical mirror surface, the distribution of light reached to the filter surface of detector shows an elliptical shape. Whereas, the curved mirror surface focuses the light into circular shape. Therefore, due to focusing effects in case of using curved mirror surface, the light intensity per unit area has been improved. Consequently, the output voltage of gas sensor has been expected to increase. Based upon the simulation, the experiment of gas sensor has been conducted with $CO_2$ gas from 0ppm to 2,500 ppm at 250 ppm step and $25^{\circ}C$, 45%R.H. ambient. The output voltage of gas sensor that has a curved mirror surface increases approximately 200 mV than that of vertical mirror surface.

이중편파 레이더는 수평 수직반사도($Z_H{\cdot}Z_V$), 차등반사도($Z_{DR}$), 교차상관계수(${\rho}_{HV}$), 차등위상차(${\Phi}_{DP}$) 등 다양한 변수 산출을 통하여 대기 수상체 구분, 우적분포에 영향이 적은 강우량 추정, 밝은 띠(BB, Bright Band)의 탐지 등이 가능하게 됨으로써 수문기상 및 재해관리 분야에 활용성이 점점 더 커지고 있다. 본 연구는 RHI, PPI에서 생산된 레이더 변수를 이용하여 BB를 탐지하고 그 특성을 평가하였다. BB는 레이더를 이용하여 상층대기를 관측할 때 수직단면에서 강수입자가 눈에서 비로 변하는 구간에서 과대하게 높은 반사도가 나타나는 층을 말한다. BB에서는 QPE가 과대 추정되기 때문에, BB의 특성 파악은 레이더의 관측전략 수립과 QPE 보정에 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 RHI에 의한 $Z_H$의 연직단면분석, RHI와 PPI의 고도각 경사거리(slant range) 빔의 ${\rho}_{HV}$, $Z_{DR}$, $Z_H$에 의한 분석을 통하여 BB의 상단부($BB_{TOP}$), 최정점($BB_{PEAK}$) 및 하단부($BB_{BOTTOM}$)의 고도를 상호 비교 평가하였다. 분석 자료는 KICT X-밴드 레이더에 의한 관측한 2015년 10월 21일의 층상운에 의한 강우를 이용하였다. RHI에 의한 $Z_H$의 연직단면 분석결과 $BB_{top}$, $BB_{bottom}$ 및 $BB_{peak}$는 KICT 레이더 고도(MSL : 40m)를 기준으로 각각 3.26Km, 2.3Km($BB_{width}$: 0.96km) 및 2.7Km로 나타났다. 이 같은 결과는 다른 2가지 분석방법에서도 유사하게 나타나고 있으며, 이는 BB분석을 위해 다양한 변수를 통한 신뢰성 있는 BB의 특성을 파악할 수 있는 기반을 제공한다.

GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of a 405 nm wavelength have been fabricated on a sapphire substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). In order to reflect the photons, which are generated in the InGaN active region and emitted to the backside, to the front surface, a reflection layer was deposited onto the back of the substrate. Aluminum was used as the reflection layer and Al was deposited on the sample followed by Ti evaporation for firm adhesion of the reflection layer to the substrate. The light extraction efficiency was enhanced 52 % by adoption of the Ti-Al reflection layer.

The technique of combined-measurement of reflectance and ellipsometric parameters was used for studying the anodic film formed on nickel surface in basic solutions. An ellipsometer was automated for transient measurements by way of modulating the plane-polarized light with the Faraday effect. Surface film was formed electrochemically by applying a potential step from the reduction potential range to the passivation range on a polished, high-purity, polycrystalline nickel specimen. From that instant, the changes in the reflectance(r) and the ellipsometric parameters(${\Delta},{\Psi}$) of the surface film were recorded by the automatic ellipsometer. Three exact simultaneous equations including these optical signals, ${\Delta},{\Psi}$ and r were solved numerically with a computer in order to determine the optical properties, n, k, and the thickness, ${\tau}$, of the surface film. From the computed results which showed dependence on pH and time, it was found that passivation of nickel can be effectively attained by surface film thinner than $15{\AA}$ and this passivation film has a small optical absorption coefficient. It seemed that a high pH environment enhances the rate of passivation and is favorable for a denser structure of the surface film. The experimental evidence is in accordance with the hypothesis that the composition of the passive film can be approximated by $Ni(OH)_2$ in the early stage of passivation and that as time passes the composition changes partially toward that of NiO through dehydration.

The attenuation of waves transmitted through non-conservative joints that are shown in many paractical structures, is affected by the impedance and the orientation of the joint. In this paper, the joints between plate structures are assumed to be modeled as linear spring-dashpot systems and the transmission and reflection of vibration energy in the medium to high frequency ranges are investigated. The calculated power transmission and reflection coefficients are applied to the PFA method for the prediction of energy density and intensity in structures.

수직으로 정렬된 1차원 나노구조는 입사되는 빛에 대하여 반사율을 줄일 수 있는 유효 굴절률 profile을 갖고 있어, 태양광소자 및 광전자소자의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 널리 응용되어 왔으며, 이러한 수직으로 정렬된 1차원 나노구조를 제작하는 연구가 매우 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 그 중 화학적 방법으로 성장시킨 산화아연 나노로드(ZnO nanorod)는 비교적 간단하고 저렴한 제작공정을 통해서 높은 결정성을 갖는 수직형 1차원 나노구조체로 이용 할 수 있다. 한편, 효과적인 무반사(antireflection) 층을 제작하기 위해서는 표면에서 발생되는 Fresnel 반사율을 낮춰야 하는데, 이를 위해서 입사되는 매질에서 기판 사이의 유효 굴절률이 연속적이고, 점진적인 변화가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 무반사 특성향상을 위해서 실리콘 (Si) 기판위에 tapered 산화아연 나노로드를 화학적으로 성장시켜 반사율 특성을 분석하였다. 실험을 위해, 먼저 Si 기판에 AZO (Al doped ZnO) seed 층을 RF magnetron 스퍼터를 사용해 증착한 후, zinc nitrate $Zn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$과 hexamethylentetramines으로 혼합된 용액에 담가두어 산화아연 나노로드를 성장시켰다. Tapered 산화아연 나노로드를 형성하기 위해 용액의 온도를 서서히 낮춤으로 산화아연나노로드의 끝을 뾰족하게 제작할 수 있었다. 한편, 이론적으로 AZO seed 층의 두께에 대한 반사 스펙트럼을 rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) 계산법을 통해서 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 최적화된 AZO seed 층의 두께를 결정하여, 그 위에 tapered 산화아연 나노로드를 성장시켜 반사율을 측정하여 무반사 특성 향상을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한, 태양광소자 응용을 위해, 표준 AM1.5G 태양광 스펙트럼을 고려한 solar weighted reflection을 계산하였다.
