  • The thin-film photovoltaic absorbers (CdTe and $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$) can achieve solar conversion efficiencies of up to 20% and are now commercially available, but the presence of toxic (Cd,Se) and expensive elemental components (In, Te) is a real issue as the demand for photovoltaics rapidly increases. To overcome these limitations, there has been substantial interest in developing viable alternative materials, such as $Cu_2ZnSnS_4$ (CZTS) is an emerging solar absorber that is structurally similar to CIGS, but contains only earth abundant, non-toxic elements and has a near optimal direct band gap energy of 1.4 - 1.6 eV and a large absorption coefficient of ~104 $cm^{-1}$. The CZTS absorber layers are grown and investigated by various fabrication methods, such as thermal evaporation, e-beam evaporation with a post sulfurization, sputtering, non-vacuum sol-gel, pulsed laser, spray-pyrolysis method and electrodeposition technique. In the present work, we report an alternative aqueous chemical approach based on chemical bath deposition (CBD) method for large area deposition of CZTS thin films. Samples produced by our method were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, absorbance and photoluminescence. The results show that this inexpensive and relatively benign process produces thin films of CZTS exhibiting uniform composition, kesterite crystal structure, and some factors like triethanolamine, ammonia, temperature which strongly affect on the morphology of CZTS film.

  • Nanofabrication is an essential process throughout industry. Technologies that produce general nanofabrication, such as e-beam lithography, dip-pen lithography, DUV lithography, immersion lithography, and laser interference lithography, have drawbacks including complicated processes, low throughput, and high costs, whereas nano-transfer printing (nTP) is inexpensive, simple, and can produce patterns on non-plane substrates and multilayer structures. In general nTP, the coherency of gold-deposited stamps is strengthened by using SAM treatment on substrates, so the gold patterns are transferred from stamps to substrates. However, it is hard to apply to transfer other metallic materials, and the existing nTP process requires a complicated surface treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to simplify the nTP technology to obtain an easy and simple method for fabricating metal patterns. In this paper, asnTP process with poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) mold was proposed without any chemical treatment. At first, a PVA mold was duplicated from the master mold. Then, a Mo layer, with a thickness of 20 nm, was deposited on the PVA mold. The Mo deposited PVA mold was put on the Si wafer substrate, and nTP process progressed. After the nTP process, the PVA mold was removed using DI water, and transferred Mo nano patterns were characterized by a Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) and Energy Dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

  • 레이저 유도붕괴 분광법(LIBS)은 물질상태(고체, 액체, 기체)에 상관없이 신체 접촉시 오염 우려 및 미량 시료도 전처리 없이 동시에 많은 종류의 원소 분석으로 분석과정이 단순하고 신속하게 분석이 가능하며, 소형화된 레이저의 개발로 시료의 직접적인 채취가 어려운 조건의 현장분석에도 적합하다. 농산물 안정성 평가나 친환경 농업 및 정밀농업을 위한 조사 등에 활용될 수 있는 비파괴 실시간 정량분석기술로서 LIBS 분석법의 토양분석 가능성을 평가하고자 표준광물, 미국의 표준기술연구소의 표준토양, 미국 테네시주 초지 및 밭토양을 대상으로 토양 구성성분의 정성 정량적 분석에 필요한 측정조건을 조사하고 이를 토대로 LIBS에 의한 농도값과 기존의 화학분석법을 통해 측정한 결과를 비교하였다. LIBS 측정은 펄스형 Nd:YAG 레이저(Minilite II, Continuum, Santa Clara, CA)에서 나오는 1064 nm 에너지 파장의 광원을 시편의 플라즈마를 생성시키는데 사용하였고, 25 mJ/pulse 여기 에너지 빔을 펄스폭 35 ns, 펄스 반복 주기 10 Hz, 노출시간 10 s 동안 시료의 표면에 조사하였다. LIBS 분광은 0.03 nm의 해상력으로 200 nm에서 600 nm의 영역에서 50 m 이하로 분쇄하여 원형 펠렛 형태로 압축시킨 시료를 10 rpm의 속도로 회전시키면서 상온 상압의 실험실 조건에서 수행되었다. LIBS를 이용한 토양 중 주요한 원소의 적정 파장(nm)은 Al(I) 309.2 nm, Ca(I) 422.6 nm, Fe(I) 406.4 nm, Mg(I) 285.2 nm, Na(I) 589.2 nm, Si(I) 288.2 nm, Ti(I) 398.9 nm 이었다. LIBS의 피크강도가 물질 중 원소의 농도가 증가됨에 따라 각 원소의 특정 파장대에서 일정하게 증가되는 것으로 나타나고 있으나 표준물질의 LIBS의 신호비와 원소비를 통해 측정된 검량곡선의 상관계수($r^2$)는 0.863에서 0.977의 범위로 원소별로 상이할 뿐만 아니라 0.98에 미치지 못하였다. 또한, 토양 중 분석대상원소에 대하여 기존 ICP-AES에 의한 표준방법으로 분석된 시료의 측정값과 비교하여 상대적인 오차는 대략적으로 (-)40%에서 80%이상이며, 평균오차는 32.2%로 표준척도 20% 이상을 초과하였다. LIBS에 의한 토양분석은 토양의 조성과 입자의 크기에 따른 매질효과(matrix effect)로 표준물질의 검량곡선에서 결정계수가 낮고, 원소별 함량도 기준의 표준방법과 비교할 때 오차가 컸다. 따라서 LIBS에 의한 토양분석은 정성적인 분석 수준의 정밀도를 보였으며, 토양 매질의 영향을 최소화하기 위하여 기존의 분쇄 펠렛형 시료조제 및 회전측정 이외의 다양한 토양매질의 표준물질(standard reference material)의 확보, 새로운 전처리 방법 및 측정상 방법개선 등 신뢰성 있는 정량 분석을 위한 노력이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 적외선 에너지를 추적하는 휴대용대공유도탄(MANPADS: Man Portable Air Defense System)은 개인이 휴대할 수 있을 정도로 가벼우며 다양한 항공기에 대응할 수 있어, 전 세계적으로 널리 배치되어 항공기의 큰 위협이 되고 있다. 이러한 유도탄을 기만하여 아군 항공기와 전투원의 생명을 보호하는 적외선대응책(IRCM: Infrared Countermeasure)으로 섬광탄이 개발되었다. 그러나 기존 적외선대응책의 문제점을 보완할 수 있는 지향성적외선방해장비(DIRCM: Directional Infrared Countermeasure)가 최근 일부 선진국을 중심으로 개발되고 있으며, 그 필요성이 점차 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 MANPADS 중 AM 변조 방식의 1세대 적외선탐색기, FM 변조 방식의 2세대 적외선탐색기, 펄스변조 방식의 3세대 적외선탐색기와 DIRCM에서 레이저빔이 조사될 때 탐색기에서 발생하는 산란광 현상을 모델링하였다. 이를 이용하여 MANPADS와 DIRCM을 장착한 항공기의 다양한 교전환경에서 기만 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고, 유도탄과 항공기의 최소거리인 Miss Distance를 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 하나의 기만코드로 변조된 레이저빔을 조사하는 DIRCM이 교전거리 1km와 2km에서 1, 2, 3세대 MANPADS를 모두 기만하는 것을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다. 특히 교전거리가 1km에서 2km로 늘어날 때 DIRCM을 장착한 항공기의 생존율도 증가하였고, 교전거리 2km에서는 생존율이 최소 99% 이상으로 분석되었다.

  • 본 논문에서는 비평형 분자동역학 시뮬레이션 기법을 사용하여 알루미늄 박막과 실리콘 웨이퍼 간 열경계저항을 예측하였다. 실리콘의 끝 단 고온부에 열을 공급하고, 같은 양의 열을 알루미늄 끝 단 저온부에서 제거하여 경계면을 통한 열전달이 일어나도록 하였으며, 실리콘 내부와 알루미늄 내부의 선형 온도 변화를 계산함으로써 경계면에서의 온도 차이에 따른 열저항 값을 구하였다. 300K 온도에서 $5.13{\pm}0.17m^2{\cdot}K/GW$의 결과를 얻었으며, 이는 열유속 조건의 변화와 무관함을 확인하였다. 아울러, 펨토초 레이저 기반의 시간영역 열반사율 기법을 사용하여 열경계저항 값을 실험적으로 구하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교 검증하였다. 전자빔 증착기를 사용하여 90nm 두께의 알루미늄 박막을 실리콘(100) 웨이퍼 표면에 증착하였으며, 유한차분법을 이용한 수치해석을 통해 열전도 방정식의 해를 구해 실험결과와 곡선맞춤 함으로써 열경계저항을 정량적으로 평가하고 나노스케일에서의 열전달 현상에 관한 특징을 살펴보았다.

  • AlSb is a promising material for optical devices, particularly for high-frequency and nonlinear-optical applications. And AlSb offers significant potential for devices such as quantum-well lasers, laser diodes, and heterojunction bipolar transistors. In this work we study molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of an unstrained AISb film on a GaAs substrate and identify the real-time monitoring capabilities of in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). The samples were fabricated on semi-insulating (0 0 1) GaAs substrates using MBE system. A rotating sample stage ensured uniform film growth. The substrate was first heated to $620^{\circ}C$ under As2 to remove surface oxides. A GaAs buffer layer approximately 200 nm- thick was then grown at $580^{\circ}C$. During the temperature changing process from $580^{\circ}C$ to $530^{\circ}C$, As2 flux is maintained with the shutter for Ga being closed and the reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) pattern remaining at ($2{\times}4$). Upon reaching the preset temperature of $530^{\circ}C$, As shutter was promptly closed with Sb shutter open, resulting in the change of RHEED pattern from ($2{\times}4$) to ($1{\times}3$). This was followed by the growth of AlSb while using a rotating-compensator SE with a charge-coupled-device (CCD) detector to obtain real-time SE spectra from 0.74 to 6.48 eV. Fig. 1 shows the real time measured SE spectra of AlSb on GaAs in growth process. In the Fig. 1 (a), a change of ellipsometric parameter ${\Delta}$ is observed. The ${\Delta}$ is the parameter which contains thickness information of the sample, and it changes in a periodic from 0 to 180o with growth. The significant change of ${\Delta}$ at~0.4 min means that the growth of AlSb on GaAs has been started. Fig. 1b shows the changes of dielectric function with time over the range 0.74~6.48 eV. These changes mean phase transition from pseudodielectric function of GaAs to AlSb at~0.44 min. Fig. 2 shows the observed RHEED patterns in the growth process. The observed RHEED pattern of GaAs is ($2{\times}4$), and the pattern changes into ($1{\times}3$) with starting the growth of AlSb. This means that the RHEED pattern is in agreement with the result of SE measurements. These data show the importance and sensitivity of SE for real-time monitoring for materials growth by MBE. We performed the real-time monitoring of AlSb growth by using SE measurements, and it is good agreement with the results of RHEED pattern. This fact proves the importance and the sensitivity of SE technique for the real-time monitoring of film growth by using ellipsometry. We believe that these results will be useful in a number of contexts including more accurate optical properties for high speed device engineering.

  • Intergranular corrosion of austenitic stainless steels is a conventional and momentous problem during welding and high temperature use. One of the major reasons for such intergranular corrosion is so-called sensitization, i.e., chromium depletion due to chromium carbide precipitation at grain boundaries. Conventional methods for preventing sensitization of austenitic stainless steels include reduction of carbon content in the material, stabilization of carbon atoms as non-chromium carbides by the addition of titanium, niobium or zirconium, local solution-heat-treatment by laser beam, etc. These methods, however, are not without drawbacks. Recent grain boundary structure studies have demonstrated that grain boundary phenomena strongly depend on the crystallographic nature and atomic structure of the grain boundary, and that grain boundaries with coincidence site lattices are immune to intergranular corrosion. The concept of "grain boundary design and control", which involves a desirable grain boundary character distribution, has been developed as grain boundary engineering. The feasibility of grain boundary engineering has been demonstrated mainly by thermomechanical treatments. In the present study, a thermomechanical treatment was tried to improve the resistance to the sensitization by grain boundary engineering. A type 304 austenitic stainless steel was pre-strained and heat-treated, and then sensitized, varying the parameters (pre-strain, temperature, time, etc.) during the thermomechanical treatment. The grain boundary character distribution was examined by orientation imaging microscopy. The intergranular corrosion resistance was evaluated by electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation and ferric sulfate-sulfuric acid tests. The sensitivity to intergranular corrosion was reduced by the thermomechanical treatment and indicated a minimum at a small roll-reduction. The frequency of coincidence-site-lattice boundaries indicated a maximum at a small strain. The ferric sulfate-sulfuric acid test showed much smaller corrosion rate in the thermomechanically-treated specimen than in the base material. An excellent intergranular corrosion resistance was obtained by a small strain annealing at a relatively low temperature for long time. The optimum parameters created a uniform distribution of a high frequency of coincidence site lattice boundaries in the specimen where corrosive random boundaries were isolated. The results suggest that the thermomechanical treatment can introduce low energy segments in the grain boundary network by annealing twins and can arrest the percolation of intergranular corrosion from the surface.

  • Oxide dispersion-strengthened materials W-1wt%Pr2O3 and W-1wt%La2O3 were synthesized by wet chemical method and spark plasma sintering. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis, XRD and Vickers microhardness measurements were conducted to characterize the samples. The irradiations were carried out with a 5 keV helium ion beam to fluences up to 5.0 × 1021 ions/m2 under 600 ℃ using the low-energy ion irradiation system. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study was performed to investigate the microstructural evolution in W-1wt%Pr2O3 and W-1wt%La2O3. At 1.0 × 1020 He+/m2, the average loops size of the W-1wt%Pr2O3 was 4.3 nm, much lower than W-1wt% La2O3 of 8.5 nm. However, helium bubbles were not observed throughout in both doped W materials. The effects of pre-irradiation with 1.0 × 1021 He+/m2 on trapping of injected deuterium in doped W was studied by thermal desorption spectrometry (TDS) technique using quadrupole mass spectrometer. Compared with the samples without He+ pre-irradiation, deuterium (D) retention of doped W materials increased after He+ irradiation, whose retention was unsaturated at the damage level of 1.0 × 1022D2+/m2. The present results implied that irradiation effect of He+ ions must be taken into account to evaluate the deuterium retention in fusion material applications.
