Most Recently, with rapid development in marine industries such as marine structures and ship, there occurs much interest in the study of corrosion characteristics which play an important role in design of cooling water system like heat-exchanger. Especially, as operating environment of fresh cooling water system in vessels is acidified, this system is seriously corroded. In this study, to study on the corrosion characteristics of Al-alloy shell for cooler, the electrochemical polarization test of materials for the marine fresh water cooler such as Al-alloy, Cu and naval brass was carried out in fresh water. And thus the polarization resistance and anodic polarization behavior of Al-alloy, Cu and naval brass are investigated. Also, galvanic corrosion characteristics of Al-alloy coupled with Cu and naval brass is considered. The main results obtained are as follows ; (1) The current density of corrosion is high in order of Al-alloy > naval brass > Cu (2) As anodic potential increases, the corrosion resistance of naval brass is better than that of Cu. (3) The galvanic corrosion of Al-alloy coupled with Cu and naval brass is activated than corrosion of Al-alloy.

One of the most important parameters that limit maximum output power of transistor is breakdown. InAlAs/InGaAs/GaAs Metamorphic HEMTs (MHEMTs) have some advantages, especially for cost, compared with InP-based ones. However, GaAs-based MHEMTs and InP-based HEMTs are limited by lower breakdown voltage for output power even though they have good microwave and millimeter-wave frequency performance with lower minimum noise figure. In this paper, InAlAs/$In_xGa_{1-x}As$/GaAs MHEMTs are simulated and analyzed for breakdown. The parameters affecting breakdown are investigated in the fabricated 0.1-${\mu}m$ ${\Gamma}$-gate MHEMT device having the modulation-doped $In_{0.52}Al_{0.48}As/In_{0.53}Ga_{0.47}As$ heterostructure on the GaAs wafer using the hydrodynamic transport model of a 2D commercial device simulator. The impact ionization and gate field effect in the fabricated device including deep-level traps are analyzed for breakdown. In addition, Indium mole-fraction-dependent impact ionization rates are proposed empirically for $In_{0.52}Al_{0.48}As/In_xGa_{1-x}As$/GaAs MHEMTs.

The effects of modification processing on the refinement of primary Si and the wear behavior of hyper-eutectic Al-Si alloys have been mainly investigated. Refining effects of primary Si in Al-17%Si alloy was more efficient than that of B.390 alloy. Optimum condition of getting the finest primary Si microstructure was when AlCuP modifier is added into the melt at $750^{\circ}C$ and held it at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. Wear loss in the specimens of as-cast condition decreases as the size of primary Si decreases, in the order of B.390 alloy, B.390 alloy with AlCuP addition, Al-17%Si alloy and Al-17%Si alloy with AlCuP addition. Wear loss in the aged condition of Al-17%Si alloy, B.390 alloy and B.390 alloy with AlCuP addition decreased due to the increase of compressive residual stress in the matrix by the aging treatment. While, wear loss increased in the aged specimens of Al-17%Si alloy with AlCuP addition and Hepworth addition in which compressive residual stress decreases by the aging treatment. Therefore, it is assumed that higher compressive residual stress in the matrix can reduce the wear loss in composite materials such as hyper-eutectic Al-Si alloys.

The characteristics of optical absorption in $Al_{0.24}Ga_{0.76}As/GaAs$ multi-quantum wells(MQWs) structure were investigated by using the surface photovoltage(SPV). The Spy features near 1.42 eV showed two overlapping signals. By chemical etching, we found associated with the GaAs substrate and the GaAs cap layer. The Al composition(x=24 %) was determined by Kuech's composition formula. In order to identify the transition energies. the experimentally observed energies were compared with results of the envelope function approximation for a rectangular quantum wells An amplitude variation of the relative Spy intensity from the GaAs substrate, llH, and llL was observed at different light intensities. A variation in the SPY line shape of the transition energies were observed with decreasing tempera­t ture.

본 연구에서는 분자선 박막성장 장비를 (MBE) 이용하여 droplet epitaxy 방법으로 성장시킨 GaAs/AlGaAs 양자점구조의 표면전기장변화에 관하여 photoreflectance spectroscopy (PR)를 이용하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 GaAs/AlGaAs 양자점 구조는 undoped-GaAs (001) 기판을 위에 성장온도 $580^{\circ}C$에서 GaAs buffer layer를 100 nm 성장 후 장벽층으로 AlGaAs을 100 nm 성장하였다. AlGaAs 장벽층을 성장한 후 기판온도를 $300^{\circ}C$로 설정하여 Ga을 3.75 원자층를 (ML) 조사하여 Ga drop을 형성하였다. Ga drop을 GaAs 나노구조로 결정화시키기 위하여 $As_4$를 beam equivalent pressure (BEP) 기준으로 $1{\times}10^{-4}$ Torr로 기판온도 $150^{\circ}C$에서 조사하였다. 결정화 직후 RHEED로 육각구조의 회절 페턴을 관측하여 결정화를 확인하였다. GaAs 나노 구조를 성장한 후 AlGaAs 장벽층을 성장하기위해 10 nm AlGaAs layer는 MEE 방법을 이용하여 $150^{\circ}C$에서 저온 성장 하였으며, 저온성장 후 기판온도를 $580^{\circ}C$로 설정하여 80 nm의 AlGaAs 층을 성장하고 최종적으로 GaAs 10 nm를 capping layer로 성장하였다. 저온성장 과정에서의 결정성의 저하를 보상하기위하여 MBE 챔버내에서 $650^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 수행하였다. GaAs/AlGaAs 양자점의 광학적 특성은 photoluminescence를 이용하여 평가 하였으며 780 nm 근처에서 발광을 보여 주었다. 특히 PR 실험으로부터 시료의 전기장에 의한 Franz-Keldysh oscillation (FKO)의 변화를 관측하여 GaAs/AlGaAs 양자점의 존재에 의한 시료의 표면에 형성되는 표면전기장을 측정하였다. 또한 시료에 형성된 전기장의 세기를 계산하기위해 PR 신호로부터 fast Fourier transformation (FFT)을 이용하였다. 특히 온도의 존성실험을 통하여 표면전기장의 변화를 관측 하였으며 양자구속효과와 관련성에 대하여 고찰 하였다.

This paper investigates the two dominant but intertwined current blocking mechanisms of Switching and Kirk Effect in pure ternary InAlAs/InGaAs/InAlAs Double Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (DHBTs). Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) grown, lattice-matched samples have been investigated giving substantial experimental results and theoretical reasoning to explain the interplay between these two effects as the current density is increased up to and beyond the theoretical Kirk Effect limit for devices of emitter areas varying from $20{\times}20{\mu}m^2$ to $1{\times}5{\mu}m^2$. Pure ternary InAlAs/InGaAs/InAlAs DHBTs are ideally suited for such investigations because, unless corrective measures are taken, these devices suffer from appreciable current blocking effect due to their large conduction band discontinuity of 0.5 eV and thus facilitating the observation of the two different physical phenomena. This enhanced understanding of the interplay between the Kirk and Switching effect makes the DHBT device design and optimization process more effective and efficient.

A powder metallurgy-based rapid consolidation technique, Plasma Pressure Compaction ($P^2C^{(R)}$), was utilized to produce near-net shape parts of gamma titanium aluminides (${\gamma}$-TiAl). Micron-sized ${\gamma}$-TiAl powders, composed of Ti-50%Al and Ti-48%Al-2%Cr-2%Nb (at%), were rapidly consolidated to form near-net shape ${\gamma}$-TiAl parts in the form of 1.0" (25.4 mm) diameter discs, as well as $3"{\times}2.25"$ ($76.2mm{\times}57.2mm$) tiles, having a thickness of 0.25" (6.35 mm). The ${\gamma}$-TiAl parts were consolidated to near theoretical density. The microstructural morphology of the consolidated parts was found to vary with consolidation conditions. Mechanical properties exhibited a strong dependence on microstructural morphology and grain size. Because of the rapid consolidation process used here, grain growth during consolidation was minimal, which in turn led to enhanced mechanical properties. Consolidated ${\gamma}$-TiAl samples corresponding to Ti-48%Al-2%Cr-2%Nb composition with a duplex microstructure (with an average grain size of $5{\mu}m$) exhibited superior mechanical properties. Flexural strength, ductility, elastic modulus and fracture toughness for these samples were as high as 1238 MPa, 2.3%, 154.58 GPa and 17.95 MPa $m^{1/2}$, respectively. The high temperature mechanical properties of the consolidated ${\gamma}$-TiAl samples were characterized in air and vacuum and were found to retain flexural strength and elastic modulus for temperatures up to $700^{\circ}C$. At high temperatures, the flexural strength of ${\gamma}$-TiAl samples with Ti-50%Al composition deteriorated in air by 10% as compared to that in vacuum. ${\gamma}$-TiAl samples with Ti-48%Al-2%Nb-2%Cr composition exhibited better if not equal flexural strength in air than in vacuum at high temperatures.
