IrMn을 반강자성체로 사용하고 순수한 Al을 자연산화시켜서 제작한 Al203를 절연층으로 사용한 spin-valve 형태의 NiFe/Co/Al2O3/Co/IrMn 터널링 접합의 자기저항효과를 조사하였다. IrMn의 두께가 약 100$\AA$이상일 경우 강자성체와의 교환상호작용이 발생하기 때문에 NiFe(183$\AA$)/Co(17$\AA$)/Al-oxide(16$\AA$)IrMn(100$\AA$) 터널링 접합에서 자기저항효과가 관찰되며 TMR비(%)는 $\pm$20 Oe의 인가자장에서 10% 이상의 값을 갖는다. 하부 자성층인 NiFe/Co의 길이방향으로 수행한 자장 중 열처리에 의해 저항은 다소 감소하고 TMR비(%)는 열처리온도에 따라 증가하여 20$0^{\circ}C$에서 23%의 최대값을 갖는다. 자성층의 폭을 변호시켜 접합면적을 달리한 시료의 TMR비(%)는 접합면적이 증가할수록 증가하고 저항은 감소한다.

Lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) are promising materials for various optoelectronic devices, especially solar cells, because of their tunability of the optical band-gap controlled by adjusting the diameter of NQDs. PbS is a IV-VI semiconductor enabling infrared-absorption and it can be synthesized using solution process methods. A wide choice of the diameter of PbS NQDs is also a benefit to achieve the quantum confinement regime due to its large Bohr exciton radius (20 nm). To exploit these desirable properties, many research groups have intensively studied to apply for the photovoltaic devices. There are several essential requirements to fabricate the efficient NQDs-based solar cell. First of all, highly confined PbS QDs should be synthesized resulting in a narrow peak with a small full width-half maximum value at the first exciton transition observed in UV-Vis absorbance and photoluminescence spectra. In other words, the size-uniformity of NQDs ought to secure under 5%. Second, PbS NQDs should be assembled carefully in order to enhance the electronic coupling between adjacent NQDs by controlling the inter-QDs distance. Finally, appropriate structure for the photovoltaic device is the key issue to extract the photo-generated carriers from light-absorbing layer in solar cell. In this step, workfunction and Fermi energy difference could be precisely considered for Schottky and hetero junction device, respectively. In this presentation, we introduce the strategy to obtain high performance solar cell fabricated using PbS NQDs below the size of the Bohr radius. The PbS NQDs with various diameters were synthesized using methods established by Hines with a few modifications. PbS NQDs solids were assembled using layer-by-layer spin-coating method. Subsequent ligand-exchange was carried out using 1,2-ethanedithiol (EDT) to reduce inter-NQDs distance. Finally, Schottky junction solar cells were fabricated on ITO-coated glass and 150 nm-thick Al was deposited on the top of PbS NQDs solids as a top electrode using thermal evaporation technique. To evaluate the solar cell performance, current-voltage (I-V) measurement were performed under AM 1.5G solar spectrum at 1 sun intensity. As a result, we could achieve the power conversion efficiency of 3.33% at Schottky junction solar cell. This result indicates that high performance solar cell is successfully fabricated by optimizing the all steps as mentioned above in this work.

Recently, there is a need for research concerning the technologies and precaution methods against electronic bomb assaults. There lays perplex constitution and much coupling phenomenon in this type of system, and thus requires much time and memory in order to translate the system with the existing translation methods. Applying the EMT (Electromagnetic Topology) would prove much more efficient. In this paper, EMT has been applied to the circuit-like micro system, previously employed in micro systems. Also, each section has been interpreted using the BLT (Baum, Liu, Tesche) equation using the EMT, then reconstructed, consequentially interpreting an entire system. In this paper, a simple circuit containing active and passive elements based on a CPW has been interpreted employing the BLT equation, and has been proven by experiment using the circuit simulation, a simulation officially recognized for its accuracy in interpreting small structures. The interpretation results have been presented by an S-parameter, and by comparing the interpretation results attained through the BLT equation and that from common simulation to that from experimentation, that the BLT equation turned out to be the most reliable interpretation method could be found.

We designed and constructed a multichannel superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer system to measure magnetic fields from the human brain. We used a new type of SQUID, the double relaxation oscillation SQUID (DROS). With high flux-to-voltage transfers of the DROS, about 10 times larger than the dc SQUIDs, simple flux-locked loop circuits could be used for SQUID operation. Also the large modulation voltage of the DROS, typically being 100 $mutextrm{V}$, enabled stable flux-locked loop operation against the thermal offset voltage drift of the preamplifier. The magnetometers were fabricated using the Nb/AlOx/Nb junction technology. The SQUID system consists of 37 signal magnetometers, distributed on a semispherical surface, and 11 reference channels were installed to pickup background noises. External feedback was used to eliminate the magnetic coupling with the adjacent channels. The liquid helium dewar has a capacity of 29 L and boil-off rate of about 4 L/d with the total 48 channel insert. The magnetometer system has an average noise level of 3 fT/√Hz at 100 Hz, inside a shielded loon, and was applied to measure auditory-evoked fields.

The thermal behavior of power modules is an important criterion for the design of cooling systems and optimum thermal structure of these modules. An important consideration for high power and high frequency design is the spacing between semiconductor devices, substrate structure and influence of the boundary condition in the case. This study focuses on the thermal behavior of hybrid power modules to establish a simplified method that allows temperature estimation in different module components without decapsulation. This study resulted in a correction of the junction temperature values estimated from the transient thermal impedance of each component operating alone. The corrections depend on mutual thermal coupling between different chips of the hybrid structure. A new experimental technique for thermal mutual evaluation is presented. Notably, the classic analysis of thermal phenomena in these structures, which was independent of dissipated power magnitude and boundary conditions in the case, is incorrect.

Inter-grain nanobridges of the $MgB_2$ superconductor have been fabricated by focused-ion-beam(FIB) and their electrical transport properties were studied. The $MgB_2$ film was prepatterned into microbridges by a standard argon ion milling technique and then FIB-patterned into 100 nm$\times$100 nm bridges. Current-voltage characteristics showed a strong flux-flow type behavior at all temperatures with a trait of Josephson coupling near $T_c$. At low temperatures, the curves showed a two-step resistance-doubled transition with occasional hysteresis. The resistance-doubling transition is believed to be due to a two-channel flux-flow effect. The temperature-dependent critical current data showed $I_c(T){\propto}(1-T/T_c)^2$ near $T_c$, same as a normal barrier junction, and $I_c(T){\propto}(1-T/T_c)^{1.2}$ at low temperatures, similar to that of a film.

Radio-frequency (RF) amplifiers based on direct current (DC) superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) have low-noise performance for precision physics experiments. Gain curves of SQUID RF amplifiers depend on several parameters of the SQUID and operation conditions. We are developing SQUID RF amplifiers for application to measure very weak RF signals from ultra-low-temperature high-magnetic-field microwave cavity in axion search experiments. In this study, we designed, fabricated and characterized SQUID RF amplifiers with different SQUID parameters, such as number of input coil turn, shunt resistance value of the junction and coupling capacitance in the input coil, and compared the results.

이 연구에서는 Ta 45/Ru 9.5/IrMn 10/CoFe $3/AlO_x$/자유층/$AlO_x$/CoFe 7/IrMn 10/Ru 60(nm) 구조를 갖는 이중장벽 자기터널접합(double-barrier magnetic tunnel junction: DMTJ)를 다루었다. 자유층은 $Ni_{16}Fe_{62}Si_8B_{14}\;7nm$, $Co_{90}Fe_{10}(fcc)$ 7 nm 및 $CoFet_1$/NiFeSiB $t_2$/CoFe $t_1$으로 구성하였으며 두께 $t_1,\;t_2$는 변화시켰다. 즉 TMR비와 RA를 개선하기 위하여 부분적으로 CoFe층을 대체할 수 있는 비정질 NiFeSiB층이 혼합된 자유층 CoFe/NiFeSiB/CoFe을 갖는 DMTJ를 연구하였다. NiFeSiB($t_1=0,\;t_2=7$)만의 자유층을 갖는 DMTJ는 터널자기저항(TMR)비 28%, 면적-저항곱(RA) $86k{\Omega}{\mu}m^2$, 보자력($H_c$) 11 Oe 및 층간 결합장($H_i$) 20 Oe를 나타내었다. $t_1=1.5,\;t_2=4$인 경우의 하이브리드 DMTJ는 TMR비 30%, RA $68k{\Omega}{\mu}m^2$ 및 $H_c\;11\;Oe$를 가졌으나 $H_i$는 37 Oe로 증가하였다. 원자현미경(AFM)과 투과전자현미경(TEM)측정을 통하여 NiFeSiB층 두께가 감소하면 $H_i$가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 비정질 NiFeSiB층이 두꺼워지면 보통 계면의 기복을 유도하는 원주형성장(columnar growth)를 지연시키는데 유효하였다. 그러나 NiFeSiB층이 얇으면 표면거칠기는 증가하고 전자기적 Neel 결합 때문에 Hi는 커졌다.
