  • We report the first TTF compounds having columnar LC phase at room temperature. Based on the thermal, structural, and morphological observations, it was concluded that TTF derivative with long alkyl chains has highly ordered oblique columnar LC at room temperature. The new TTF derivatives have excellent oxidative stability which is desirable for a p-type (hole transport) materials.

  • 액정은 합성에 의해서 만들어지는 고분자 화합물로서 액체와 고체결정의 중간적인 특성을 갖는 물질이다. 따라서 액체와 같이 점도를 갖고 유동하며 고체와 같이 외부하중에 대하여는 탄성변형을 하므로 일반 윤활유보다 월등한 윤활특성이 기대된다. 액정은 분자배열에 따라 smectics, cholesterics, Nematics의 세종류로 나뉘어지며 Smectics는 다시 Smectic A, Smectic C등으로 분류되며 관심대상은 Smectic A이다. 본 연구에서는 평판 슬라이더 베어링의 간극에 액정층이 형성되어있을때 액정의 탄성계수, 침투계수 및 벌어짐계수가 베어링부하, 액정층의 유동현상등에 미치는 영향을 비선형 유한 요소법을 사용하여 해석하고 레이놀즈 이론해와 비교하였다.

  • ZITO/Ag/ZITO multilayer transparent electrodes at room temperature on glass substrates were prepared using RF/DC magnetron sputtering. Transparent conductive films with a sheet resistance of 9.4 Ω/㎡ and a transmittance of 83.2% at 550 nm were obtained for the multilayer structure comprising ZITO/Ag/ZITO (100/8/42 nm). The sheet resistance and transmittance of ZITO/Ag/ZITO multilayer films meant that they would be highly applicable for use in polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC)-based smart windows due to the ability to effectively block infrared rays (heat rays) and thereby act as an energy-saving smart glass. Effects of the thickness of the PDLC layer and the intensity of ultraviolet light (UV) on electro-optical properties, photopolymerization kinetics, and morphologies of difunctional urethane acrylate-based PDLC systems were investigated using new transparent conducting electrodes. A PDLC cell photo-cured using UV at an intensity of 2.0 mW/c㎡ with a 15 ㎛-thick PDLC layer showed outstanding off-state opacity, good on-state transmittance, and favorable driving voltage. Also, the PDLC-based smart window optimized in this study formed liquid crystal droplets with a favorable microstructure, having an average size range of 2~5 ㎛ for scattering light efficiently, which could contribute to its superior final performance.

  • In 1his paper, applicability of laser welding to joining process of single crystal nickel base superalloy turbine blades was investigated. Because heat input of laser welding is more precisely controlled 1han TIG welding, it is possible to optimize solidification microstructure of the welds. Since in single crystal nickel base superalloy the crystal orientation have a significant effect on the strength, it is important to control the solidification microstructure in the fusion zone. A single crystal nickel base supera1loy, CMSX-4, plates were bead-on welded and butt welded using a $CO_2$ laser. The effects of microstructure and crystal orientation on properties of the weld joints were investigated. In bead-on weldling, welding directions were deviated from the base metal [100] direction by 0, 5, 15 and 30 degrees. The welds with deviation angles of 15 and 30 degrees showed fusion zone transverse cracks. As the deviation angles became larger, the fusion zone had more cracking. In the cross section microstructure, the fusion zone grains in 0 and 5 degrees welds grew epitaxially from the base metal spins except for the bead neck regions. The grains in the bead neck regions contained stray crystals. As deviation angles increased, number of the stray crystals increased. In butt welding, the declinations of the crystal orientation of the two base metals varied 0, 5 and 10 degrees. All beads had no cracks. In the 5 degrees bead, the cross section and surface microstructures showed that the fusion zone grains grew epitaxially from the base metal grains. However, the 10 degrees bead, the bead cross section and surface contained the stray crystals in the center of the welds. Orientations of the stray crystals accorded with the heat flow directions in the weld pool. When the welding direction was deviated from the base metal [100] direction, cracks appeared in the area including the stray crystals. The cracks developed along the grain boundaries of the stray crystals with high angles in the final solidification regions at the center of the welds. The fracture surfaces were covered with liquid film. The cracks, therefore, found to be solidification cracks due to the presence of low melting eutectic. As the results, in both bead-on welding and butt welding the deviation angles should be control within 5 degrees for preventing the fusion zone cracks. To investigate the mechanical properties of the weld joints, high temperature tensile tests for bead-on welds with deviation angles of 0 and 5 degrees and the butt welds with dec1ination angles of 0, 5 and 10 degrees were conducted at 1123K. The the tensile strength of all weld joints were more 1han 800MPa that is almost 80% of the tensile strength of the base metal. The strength of the laser weld joints were more than twice that of tue TIG weld joints with a filler metal of Inconel 625. The results reveals 1hat laser welding is more effective joining process for single crystal nickelbase superalloy turbine blades 1han TIG welding.

  • The iron doped GaAs single crystals were grown by liquid phase epitaxial method and its some physical properties were evaluated with a view to investigate the crystal quality and emission property. The isomer shift of 0.303mm/sec is calculated from low-temperature M ssbauer spectroscopy and we know that charge state of iron ion is 3+ in GaAs crystal. In low temperature photoluminescence, the deep emission bands with wide-line width have been observed at 0.99eV and 1.15eV in addition to sharp excitonic peaks. We attributed that these deep emissions are originated from substitutional Fe-acceptor which has charge state of 3+ and 2+, respectively.

  • Liquid crystals (LCs) which utilize the phase above blue phase temperature range are also known to format the optically nanostructured composites devices based on Kerr effect these days. We report electro-optical characteristics of the polymer-stabilized cholestric LCs by using UV curable monomers at the different temperatures such as blue phase temperature range, blue phase-isotropic transition temperature, and isotropic temperature range. The devices exhibit different electro-optic characteristics.

  • In this report, we describe the anatomical features of Gmelina arborea Roxb. belong to the genera of Verbenaceae native to Bangladesh and safranine penetration depth in radial and longitudinal directions. The wood of this species was characterized mostly by distinct growth ring boundaries, diffuse-porous, simple perforations, alternate non-vestured intervessel pits, and relatively short vessel elements and medium fibers. Thin to thick walled septate fibers with simple to minutely bordered pits are confined to the radial walls. Tyloses are common. They are paratracheal axial parenchyma vascicnetric and confluent. Rays not higher than 1milimeter are found, and larger rays commonly 4 to 5 seriate are dominantly present, as are multi seriate rays composed of a procumbent ray with 1 row of square or upright cells. Acicular crystals are present in ray cells. Another experiment was taken under consideration to observe the liquid penetration depth in longitudinal and radial directions using safranine. It was found that safranine penetrated easily in longitudinal direction and sapwood was more permeable than heartwood.
