In superconducting coil applications particularly in wet wound coils, coated conductor (CC) tapes are subjected to different type of stresses that could affect its electromechanical transport property. These include hoop stress acting along the length of the CC tape and the Lorentz force acting perpendicular to the CC tape's surface. Since the latter is commonly associated with the delamination problem of multi-layered REBCO CC tapes, more understanding and attention on the delamination phenomena induced in the case of coil applications are needed. Difference on the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of each constituent layer of the CC tape, the bobbin, and the impregnating materials is the main causes of delamination in CC tapes when subjected to thermal and mechanical cycling. In the design of degradation-free superconducting coils, therefore, characterization of the delamination behaviors including mechanism and strength in the multi-layered REBCO CC tapes becomes a critical issue. Various trials to increase the delamination strength by improving interface characteristics at interlayers have been performed. In this study, in order to investigate the influences of laser cleaning and Ag annealing treated at the substrate side surface, transverse tensile tests were conducted under different sample configurations using $4.5mm{\times}8mm$ upper anvil. The mechanical delamination strength of differently processed CC samples was examined at room temperature (RT). As a result, the Sample 1 with the additional laser cleaning and Ag annealing processes and the Sample 2 with additional Ag annealing process only showed higher mechanical delamination strength as compared to the Sample 3 without such additional treatments. Sample 3 showed quite different behavior when the loading direction is to the substrate side where the delamination strength much lower as compared to other cases.

Purpose: Toxicity of mucosa is one of the major concerns of radiotherapy (RT), when a target tumor is located near a mucosal lined organ. Energy of photon RT is transferred primarily by secondary electrons. If these secondary electrons could be removed in an internal cavity of mucosal lined organ, the mucosa will be spared without compromising the target tumor dose. The purpose of this study was to present a RT dose reduction in near target inner-surface (NTIS) of internal cavity, using Lorentz force of magnetic field. Materials and Methods: Tissue equivalent phantoms, composed with a cylinder shaped internal cavity, and adjacent a target tumor part, were developed. The phantoms were irradiated using 6 MV photon beam, with or without 0.3 T of perpendicular magnetic field. Two experimental models were developed: single beam model (SBM) to analyze central axis dose distributions and multiple beam model (MBM) to simulate a clinical case of prostate cancer with rectum. RT dose of NTIS of internal cavity and target tumor area (TTA) were measured. Results: With magnetic field applied, bending effect of dose distribution was visualized. The depth dose distribution of SBM showed 28.1% dose reduction of NTIS and little difference in dose of TTA with magnetic field. In MBM, cross-sectional dose of NTIS was reduced by 33.1% with magnetic field, while TTA dose were the same, irrespective of magnetic field. Conclusion: RT dose of mucosal lined organ, located near treatment target, could be modulated by perpendicular magnetic field.

Since the latter is commonly associated with delamination problem of multi-layered CC tapes, more understanding and attention on the delamination phenomena induced in the case of coil applications are needed. Difference on the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of each constituent layer of the CC tape, the bobbin, and the impregnating materials is the main causes of delamination in CC tapes when subjected to thermal cycling. The CC tape might also experience cyclic loading due to the energizing scheme (on - off) during operation. In the design of degradation-free superconducting coils, therefore, characterization of the delamination behaviors including mechanism and strength in REBCO CC tapes becomes critical. In this study, transverse tensile tests were conducted under different loading conditions using different size of upper anvils on the GdBCO CC tapes. The mechanical and electromechanical delamination strength behaviors of the CC tapes under transverse tensile loading were examined and a two-parameter Weibull distribution analysis was conducted in statistical aspects. As a result, the CC tape showed similar range of mechanical delamination strength regardless of cross-head speed adopted. On the other hand, cyclic loading might have affected the CC tape in both upper anvil sizes adopted.

$Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ ($B_4T_3$) is a unique ferroelectric material that has a relatively high dielectric constant, high Curie temperature, high breakdown strength, and large spontaneous polarization. As a result this material has been widely studied for many applications, including nonvolatile ferroelectric random memories, microelectronic mechanical systems, and nonlinear-optical devices. Several reports have appeared on the use of Mn dopants to improve the electrical properties of $B_4T_3$ thin films. Mn ions have frequently been used for this purpose in thin films and multilayer capacitors in situations where intrinsic oxygen vacancies are the major defects. However, no systematic study of the optical properties of $B_4T_3$ films has appeared to date. Here, we report optical data for these films, determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). We also report the effects of thermal annealing and Mn doping on the optical properties. The SE data were analyzed using a multilayer model that is consistent with the original sample structure, specifically surface roughness/$B_4T_3$ film/Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/c-Si). The data are well described by the Tauc-Lorentz dispersion function, which can therefore be used to model the optical properties of these materials. Parameters for reconstructing the dielectric functions of these films are also reported. The SE data show that thermal annealing crystallizes $B_4T_3$ films, as confirmed by the appearance of $B_4T_3$ peaks in X-ray diffraction patterns. The bandgap of $B_4T_3$ red-shifts with increasing Mn concentration. We interpret this as evidence of the existence deep levels generated by the Mn transition-metal d states. These results will be useful in a number of contexts, including more detailed studies of the optical properties of these materials for engineering high-speed devices.

Tension Leg Platform (TLP)이란 평행위치로부터 일정 범위내에서 움직임으로 인하여 외 력의 효과를 완화시키는 compliant 구조물인 동시에, 기인장력을 받고 있는 연직 anchor cable 이 있으므로 부력이 자중을 초과하게 되는 안정한 platform 이다. 일반적으로 부체는 해상조건이 험할수록, 그리고 수심이 깊어질수록 동요가 심해지는데 TLP는 기인장 cable로 인하여 심해에서도 비교적 동요가 작아서 최근 대수심구조물의 총아로 각광받고 있다. 일찌기 Paulling 등이 TLP 거동의 예측을 위하여 수정된 Morison 방정식을 사용하는 선형동유체력합성방법을 발표하였다. 그러나 만일 TLP의 각 부재가 Morison 방정식의 가정이 성립할 수 없을 정도로 크다면 새로운 해석이 필요하다 하겠다. 일본의 Tanaka는 이런 경우에 McCamy-Fuchs 이론의 결과치를 이용하였으나, 완전한 해석이라기 보다는 일종의 간편법이라 하겠다. 본고에서는 큰 배수용적을 가진 연직부체가 있고, 이론적 해석의 결과를 검토해 볼 수 있는 수리모형 실험 결과가 있는 Deep Oil Technology (DOT) 회사의 TLP를 대상으로 하였다. 이 TLP는 부력을 전담하고 있는 연직축대칭 원통과 이들을 연결하고 있는 세부재로 이루어져 있어 축대칭부분에는 축대칭 Green 함수를 사용하여 동유체력을 구하고 세부재는 종래의 수정된 Morison 방정식의 항력항을 선형화하여 동유체력을 구하였다. 그리하여 부재의 각 미소부분에서 구한 힘들을 TLP의 중심에 원점을 둔 좌표계로 옮겨 동적응답을 구한 것이다. 본 해석에서 부재 상호간의 작용은 무시하였으며 단지 부재간의 거리효과만 고려하였다. 따라서 사용된 좌표계는 전체 (Global) 좌표계, 지점 (Local) 좌표계 및 파랑 (Wave) 좌표계 등이었고 각 좌표계간의 변환식이 필요하였다. 전체적인 해석정도는 선형이론으므로 케이블의 강성도 역시 선형적으로 구하였으며, 앞서 언급했다시피 Morison 방정식의 비선형항인 항력항은 Fourier 해석으로 선형화 하였다. 이러한 Fourier 해석은 잘 알려져 있는 Lorentz 원리와 같다고 볼 수 있다. 세부재의 경우 접선력은 무시하였고 수입자의 운동에 의한 부채에 대한 수직력만 고려하였다. 여기서 파랑좌표계에서 지점좌표계로의 좌표변환이 주의를 요하고 있다. 이제 이렇게 구한 각 힘들을 전체좌표 계에서 6개의 자유도별로 운동방정식에 대입하면 각 자유도별 동적응답이 구하여지는 것이다. DOT TLP의 Surge mode에 대한 동적응답을 실험치와 비교하여 본 결과, 세부재에 대한 고려를 뺄 수 없음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 연직축대칭 부체의 크기가 그리 크지 않으므로 인한 것이며, TLP의 원형의 경우에는 보다 더 관성력이 지배적일 것으로 사료된다.
