  • The following composition establishes a nonlocal strain gradient plate model that is essentially related to mass sensors laying on Winkler-Pasternak medium for the vibrational analysis from graphene sheets. To achieve a seemingly accurate study of graphene sheets, the posited theorem actually accommodates two parameters of scale in relation to the gradient of the strain as well as non-local results. Model graphene sheets are known to have double variant shear deformation plate theory without factors from shear correction. By using the principle of Hamilton, to acquire the governing equations of a non-local strain gradient graphene layer on an elastic substrate, Galerkin's method is therefore used to explicate the equations that govern various partition conditions. The influence of diverse factors like the magnetic field as well as the elastic foundation on graphene sheet's vibration characteristics, the number of nanoparticles, nonlocal parameter, nanoparticle mass as well as the length scale parameter had been evaluated.

  • Top of the alumina body which is made according to plan has been printed using a screen printer equipment in order to print an electrode pattern. The electrode is connected with the quartz crystal oscillator of the piezoelectricity method which has a piezoelectric characteristic. The pressure contact department has been experimented using three type of the teflon. The teflon is good for pressure delivery vector but it is bad restitution. So we devised the structure which inserts the metal in the teflon. Bottom of the module is connected with the signal processing department which is planned in advance and then has investigated to characteristic. Therefore we have got the best output-voltage and frequency characteristic follows in the pressure.

  • In this study, we evaluated the temperature-dependent characteristics of homojunction InGaAs vertical Fin-shaped Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors (Fin TFETs), which were fabricated using a novel nano-fin patterning technique in which the Au electroplating and the high-temperature InGaAs dry-etching processes were combined. The fabricated homojunction InGaAs vertical Fin TFETs, with a fin width and gate length of 60 nm and 100 nm, respectively, exhibited excellent device characteristics, such as a minimum subthreshold swing of 80 mV/decade for drain voltage (VDS) = 0.3 V at 300 K. We also analyzed the temperature-dependent characteristics of the fabricated TFETs and confirmed that the on-state characteristics were insensitive to temperature variations. From 77 K to 300 K, the subthreshold swing at gate voltage (VGS) = threshold voltage (VT), and it was constant at 115 mV/decade, thereby indicating that the conduction mechanism through band-to-band tunneling influenced the on-state characteristics of the devices.

  • We investigated the etching characteristics of $HfAlO_3$ thin films in $O_2/Cl_2/Ar$ and $O_2/BCl_3/Ar$ gas, using a high-density plasma (HDP) system. The etch rates of the $HfAlO_3$ thin film obtained were 30.1 nm/min and 36 nm/min in the $O_2/Cl_2/Ar$ (3:4:16 sccm) and $O_2/BCl_3/Ar$ (3:4:16 sccm) gas mixtures, respectively. At the same time, the etch rate was measured as a function of the etching parameter, namely as the process pressure. The chemical states on the surface of the etched $HfAlO_3$ thin films were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Auger electron spectroscopy was used for elemental analysis on the surface of the etched $HfAlO_3$ thin films. These surface analyses confirm that the surface of the etched $HfAlO_3$ thin film is formed with nonvolatile by-product. Also, Cl-O can protect the sidewall due to additional $O_2$.

  • Nano-sized powders of Indium Tin Oxide(ITO) were synthesized by a coprecipitation method. In order to investigate the gas sensing characteristics in the nanocrystalline ITO thick films with various particle sizes, ITO powders with the average particle diameter of 15, 30, and 70 nm respectively were synthesized. And the sensitivity of ITO thick films was measured upon exposure to a target gas($C_2$$H_{5}$ /OH) and some other Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs), such as, toluene, methanol, benzene, chloroform. As a result, ITO thick films had high sensitivity for ethanol and higher sensitivity with smaller particle size.

  • Optical coherence tomography(OCT) is a noninvasive optical imaging tool for biomedical applications. OCT can provide depth resolved two/three dimensional morphological images on biological samples. In this paper, we integrated an OCT system that was composed of an SLED(Superluminescent Light Emitting Diode, ${\lambda}_0$=1305 nm bandwith= 141 nm), a reference arm adopting a rapid scanning optical delay line(RSOD) to get high speed imaging, and a sample arm that used a micro electro mechanical systems(MEMS) scanning mirror. The sample arm contained a compact probe for imaging dental structures. The performance of the system was evaluated by imaging in-vivo human teeth with dental calculus, and the results indicated distinct appearance of dental calculus from enamel, gum or decayed teeth. The developed probe and system could successfully confirm the presence of dental calculus with a very high spatial resolution($6{\mu}m$).

  • IEEE 802.15.4는 저전력 무선 개인 네트워크 기술의 표준으로서 USN(ubiquitous sensor network)의 핵심 무선 통신 기술로 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나 IEEE 802.15.4는 제한된 RF 전송범위와 스타 토폴로지를 기반으로 하는 통신 기법만을 제공하고 있으며, 인접한 PAN 간(inter-PAN)의 통신 기술은 정의되어 있지 않다. 이러한 기술상의 제약으로 IEEE 802.15.4는 통신 영역이 매우 제한적이며, 이에 따라 통신시 음영지역이 발생하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 현재까지 통신영역 확장을 위한 주요 기술적 사항인 효율적인 토폴로지 형성방법, 주소할당 및 라우팅 방법, 인접 네트워크 간의 비콘 충돌 회피 기법 등에 대한 활발한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 이중 인접한 네트워크간의 비콘 충돌 방지 기법은 IEEE 802.15.4의 네트워크가 비콘에 의해서 관리된다는 점을 고려하였을 때 데이터 전송 및 네트워크 유지를 위해 우선적으로 해결되어야 할 사항이다. 본 연구에서는 제안된 비콘 충돌 회피 기법을 분석하고, 이중 비활성 구간(inactive portion)을 활용한 기법에 대한 구체적인 구현 방안을 제시 하였다. 또한 상용 임베디드 장치인 Nano-24에 설계한 비콘 충돌 회피 기법을 구현하여 동작을 검증, 분석하였다.

  • We present a non-invasive technique to the measure temperature distribution in nano-sized porous thin films by means of the two-color laser-induced fluorescence (2-LIF) of rhodamine B. The fluorescence induced by the green line of a mercury lamp with the makeup of optical filters was measured on two separate color bands. They can be selected for their strong difference in the temperature sensitivity of the fluorescence quantum yield. This technique allows for absolute temperature measurements by determining the relative intensities on two adequate spectral bands of the same dye. To measure temperature fields, Silica (SiO2) nanoporous structure with 1-um thickness was constructed on a cover glass, and fluorescent dye was absorbed into these porous thin films. The calibration curves of the fluorescence intensity versus temperature were measured in a temperature range of $10-60^{\circ}C$, and visualization and measurement of the temperature field were performed by taking the intensity distributions from the specimen for the temperature field.

  • For an analysis of dynamic behavior in carbon nanotube(CNT) which is widely used as micro and nano-sensors, an electrostatic force of CNT was investigated. For larger gaps in between sensor and electrode the van der Waals force can be ignored. The boundary condition in the CNT was assumed to clamped-clamped case at both ends. In this paper electrostatic force is expressed as linear equation along deflection using Taylor series. The first and second terms(${\zeta}_0$ and ${\zeta}_1$) of the linear equation are analyzed. Based on the simulation results nondimensional number ${\Phi}_0$ and ${\Phi}_1$ which came from ${\zeta}_0$ and ${\zeta}_1$ were decreased according to the increment of the gap. Reduction ratio of the second term ${\zeta}_1$ is increased up to 99% along to the increment of the gap. The higher order terms can be ignored and therefore, electrostatic force can be expressed using the first two terms of the linear equation. This results play an important role in analyzing the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the CNT as well as the pull-in voltage of simply supported switches.

  • By using Density Functional Theory (DFT), we have performed alkali metal and alkaline earth metal inside fullerene-like BeO cluster (FLBeOC) in terms of energetic, geometric, charge transfer, work function and electronic properties. It has been found that encapsulated processes of the alkali metal are exothermic and thermodynamically more favorable than alkaline earth metal encapsulation, so that interaction energy ($E_{int}$) of the alkali metal encapsulation FLBeOC is in the range of -0.02 to -1.15 eV at level of theory. It is found that, the electronic properties of the pristine fullerene-like BeO cluster are much more sensitive to the alkali metal encapsulation in comparison to alkaline earth metal encapsulation. The alkali and alkaline earth metal encapsulated fullerene-like BeO cluster systems exhibit good sensitivity, promising electronic properties which may be useful for a wide variety of next-generation nano-sensor device components. The encapsulation of alkali and alkali earth metal may increase the electron emission current from the FLBeOC surface by reducing of the work function.
