This paper introduces experimental investigates of an electrical accident of the distributing cable termination with simulated badness construction. We prepared two termination kites, one is built-up type, the other is heat contraction type. Also, we manufactured cable termination that have simulated defect by badness construction and measured their insulation characteristics such as ac (35kV, 1min) and impulse (95kV, $1.2{\times}50{\mu}s$) withstand test. The influence of defects such as thickness and the gap between stress-con of housing and semi-conductor on insulating properties of the termination have been studied. The thickness decrease of insulator decreases ac breakdown strength. Dielectric breakdown traces of insulator that is damaged by knife displayed other shape. The gap of between housing and semiconductor deteriorates dielectric strength of insulator seriously.

Physicochemical and electrical properties for hydrogen gas sensors based on Pd-deposited $WO_3$ thin films were investigated as a function of Pd thickness, annealing temperature, and operating temperature. $WO_3$ thin films were deposited on an insulating material by thermal evaporator. XRD, FE-SEM, AFM, and XPS were used to evaluate the crystal structure, microstructure, surface roughness, and chemical property, respectively. The deposited films were grown $WO_3$ polycrystalline with rhombohedral structure after annealing at $500^{\circ}C$. The addition effect of Pd is not the crystallinity but the suppression of grain growth of $WO_3$. Pd was scattered an isolated small spherical grain on $WO_3$ thin film after annealing at $500^{\circ}C$ and it was agglomerated as an irregular large grain or diffused into $WO_3$ after annealing at $600^{\circ}C$. 2 nm Pd-deposited $WO_3$ thin films operated at $250^{\circ}C$ showed good response and recovery property.

In this study, MOSFETs fabricated on Si-doped, MBE-grown β-Ga₂O₃ are demonstrated. A Si-doped Ga₂O₃ epitaxial layer was grown on a Fe-doped, semi-insulating 1.5 cm × 1 cm Ga₂O₃ substrate using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The fabricated devices are circular type MOSFETs with a gate length of 3 ㎛, a source-drain spacing of 20 ㎛, and a gate width of 523 ㎛. The device exhibited a good pinch-off characteristic, a high on-off drain current ratio of approximately 2.7×10⁹, and a high breakdown voltage of 1,080 V, which demonstrates the potential of Ga₂O₃ for power device applications including electric vehicles, railways, and renewable energy.

Many efforts have been devoted on chemical modification of graphene layer to modulate its electrical properties. In the previous report, laser irradiation on the CYTOP (Amorphous Fluoropolymer) covered graphene layer induces chemical modification wherein carbon fluoride is formed on the graphene surface. This results in the insulating I-V characteristics, which have been attracting much research interests on it. However, the direct analytical evidence of the fluoride formation on graphene surface is not yet studied. In this work we investigated what happened on the CYTOP/graphene interface during photon irradiation using spatially resolved photoemission spectroscopy method. It is found that the soft x-ray (614 eV) induces desorption of fluoride atoms from the CYTOP and change di-fluoride form to mono-fluoride. As the photo-induced fluorine desorption is continue strong dipole field generated by initial di-fluoride forms is gradually decreased, resulting in the overall binding energy shift of the C 1s core levels. Both photo-modified CYTOP and CYTOP starts to desorb above $286^{\circ}C$ (~ 0.047 eV), which means that no strong chemical interaction between CYTOP and graphene is established.

The purposes of this paper were to monitor the temperature rising courses and spark discharge of the modified granular activated carbon (GAC) by microwave (MW) irradiation and to evaluate absorption of benzene. The GAC coated on $SiO_2$, boron, talc, ferrite was named as the modified GAC. Thermal and spark discharge measurement of virgin GAC and modifed GAC has been carried out using a MW device operating at 2450 MHz under various energy conditions. The results of this paper as follows. First, the modified GAC is more efficient than the virgin GAC in temperature control. Temperature gradient of the modified GAC is more lower than that of virgin GAC. The temperature gradient of GAC was observed in the following order : virgin GAC, Mn-Zn ferrite/GAC, Ni-Zn ferrite,/GAC, $SiO_2/GAC$, Boron/GAC, Talc/GAC. Second, the spark discharge of the modified GAC was diminished, compared with that of virgin GAC. Because of its excellent electrical insulating properties, the coating material prevents the spark discharge. Finally, the benzene adsorption capacity of the modified GAC decreased due to diminishing of adsorption site by the coating material. Considering the temperature gradient and spark discharge of GAC, the GAC coated $SiO_2$ would be appropriate absorbent under irradiation of MW.

A non-integrated type noise filter on a Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) transmission line is demonstrated by using a highly resistive $Co_{41}Fe_{38}Al_{13}O_8$ nanogranular thin film with the dimensions of $4\;mm (\iota)\times4\;mm(\omega)\times0.1\;{\mu}m(t)$. The noise suppression characteristics are evaluated without placing an insulating layer between the CPW line and the magnetic thin film. The insertion loss is very low being less than 0.3 dB and this low value is maintained up to 2 GHz. At a ferromagnetic resonance frequency of 3.3 GHz, the power loss is very large and the degree of noise attenuation is measured to be 3 dB. This level of noise attenuation is still small for real applications; however, considering the small magnetic volume used in this work, further improvement is expected by simply increasing the magnetic volume and by integrating the magnetic thin film into the CPW transmission line.

For the dielectric insulation design of any high temperature superconducting (HTS) apparatus in the electrical power systems, the breakdown properties of cryogenic coolants such as $LN_2$ are an important factor of the insulating engineering. Therefore, this paper presented an experimental investigation of breakdown phenomena in $LN_2$ under AC voltage. And we studied the breakdown properties of LN2 with decreasing temperature. Also, the Weibull plots of the breakdown voltage of subcooled $LN_2$ at 65 K for the needle-plane electrode with electrode distance d= 10 mm are studied. The dependence of breakdown voltage for needle-plane and pancake coil-pancake coil electrode on temperature is illustrated. The experimental data suggested that the breakdown voltage of L$N_2$ depend strongly on the temperature of $LN_2$. The breakdown characteristics of $LN_2$ under quasi-uniform and non-uniform electrical field for temperature ranging from 77 K to 65 K were clarified.

Works were focused on back pressure characteristics of ceramic fiber filter on DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) system and experiments were performed to select appropriate filter which can filter particulates. Filters were installed on metal -support tube which has openings for exhaust gas flow. Ceramic fiber filters with high specific surface area and adequate high temperature strength are commercially available for filtration of diesel particulates and in -situ hot regeneration. Thus, ceramic blanket and ceramic board which are used as insulating media were applied to filter and filtration apparatus was installed on exhaust gas line connected to 2.0 L diesel engine. Alternating filter structure to adapt DPF system, collection efficiency test of diesel particulates was measured. In case of ceramic blanket, pressure drop was low, caused by the destruction of soft structures. Also, particulate collection efficiency was decreased depending on loading time. In case of ceramic board, structure design was altered to reduce back pressure on DPF system. Structure design was altered to induce Z-flow by making 10 mm and 5 mm holes on the surface of media. Alteration of 5 mm hole showed that media have low back pressure but particulate collection efficiency was 77%, while 10 mm hole showed that of 90%.

Sol-gel process is relatively simple, easy to use, cheap to install, and results in thin coating layers with superior physical and gas barrier properties. Films coated by the sol-gel process can be used as insulating films or packaging films for foods, chemicals, drugs, and beverages, etc. In this study, alumina sol was synthesized from aluminum isopropoxide and silane coupling agent was added to make coating solutions. In addition, biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) was coated using several alumina sol solutions and their oxygen permeabilities were measured. The experimental results indicate that in the best case, the oxygen permeability of coated film was reduced by 85% compared to that of pure BOPP.

High voltage cryogenic insulation issues need to be addressed in order to promote the commercialization of high temperature superconducting (HTS) equipment. As a fundamental step in the development of the optimum bushings for HTS devices, the breakdown characteristics of liquid nitrogen mixed with liquefied insulating gases such as $N_2$, $SF_6$, and $CF_4$ have been investigated. In order to investigate the possibility of substituting $CF_4$ gas for $SF_6$ gas for the bushings of HTS electrical equipment, AC withstanding voltage tests have been performed. In this paper, finding the maximum electric field $E_{max}$ using utilization factor ${\eta}$. This result is applicable to developing the real scale HTS equipment of the design parameters.
