Flexoelectricity is an interesting materials' property that is more touchable in small scales. This property beside the sandwich structures placed in the center of scientists' attention due to their extraordinary effects on the mechanical properties. Furthermore, in the passage of decades, more elaborated sandwich structures took into consideration results from using honeycomb core. This kind of structure, inspiring from honeycomb core, provides more stiffness to weight ratio, which plays a crucial role in different industries. In this paper, based on the Love-Kirchhoff's hypothesis, Hamilton's principle, modified couple stress theory and Fourier series analytical method, equations of motion for a sandwich plate containing a honeycomb core integrated by two face-sheets have derived and solved analytically. The equations of both face sheets have derived by flexoelectricity consideration. Moreover, it should be noticed that the whole structure rests on the visco-Pasternak foundation. Conducting current research provided an acceptable and throughout study based on flexoelectricity to address the effect of materials' characteristics, length-scale parameter, aspect, and thickness ratios and boundary conditions on the natural frequency of honeycomb sandwich plates. Also, based on the presented figures and tables, there is a close agreement between previous studies and recent work. Due to the high ratio of strength to weight, current model analyzing is capable of taking into account for different vehicles' manufacturing in a high range of industries.

Single crystals, which have complexed composition, are fabricated by solid state grain growth. However, it is hard to achieve stable properties in a single crystal due to trapped pores. Aerosol deposition (AD) is suitable for fabrication of single crystals with stable properties because this process can make a high density coating layer. Because of their unique features (nano sized grains, stress inner site), it is hard to fabricate single crystals, and so studies of grain growth behavior of AD film are essential. In this study, a $BaTiO_3$ coating layer with ${\sim}9{\mu}m$ thickness is fabricated using an aerosol deposition method on (100) and (110) cut $SrTiO_3$ single crystal substrates, which are adopted as seeds for grain growth. Each specimen is heat-treated at various conditions (900, 1,100, and $1,300^{\circ}C$ for 5 h). $BaTiO_3$ layer shows different growth behavior and X-ray diffraction depending on cutting direction of $SrTiO_3$ seed. Rectangular pillars at $SrTiO_3$ (100) and laminating thin plates at $SrTiO_3$ (110), respectively, are observed.

We present the high-brightness large-area 10.1" in-cell polarizer display panel integrated with a wire grid polarizer (WGP) and metal reflector, from the initial design to final system development in a commercially feasible level. We have modeled and developed the WGP architecture integrated with the metal reflector in a single in-cell layer, to achieve excellent polarization efficiency as well as brightness enhancement through the light recycling effect. After the optimization of key experimental parameters via Taguchi method, the roll nanoimprint lithography employing a flexible large-area tiled mold has been utilized to create the 90 nm-pitch polymer resist pattern with the 54.1 nm linewidth and 5.1 nm residual layer thickness. The 90 nm-pitch Al gratings with the 51.4 nm linewidth and 2150 Å height have been successfully fabricated after subsequent etch process, providing the in-cell WGPs with high optical performance in the entire visible light regime. Finally we have integrated the WGP in a commercial 10.1" display device and demonstrated its actual operation, exhibiting 1.24 times enhancement of brightness compared to a conventional film polarizer-based one, with the contrast ratio of 1,004:1. Polarization efficiency and transmittance of the developed WGPs in an in-cell polarizer panel achieve 99.995 % and 42.3 %, respectively.

Due to the extensive use of concrete structures in various applications, the improvement of their strength and quality has become of great importance. A new way of achieving this purpose is to add different types of nanoparticles to concrete admixtures. In this work, a mathematical model has been employed to analyze the vibration of concrete beams reinforced by graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles. To verify the accuracy of the presented model, an experimental study has been conducted to compare the compressive strengths of these beams. Since GO nanoparticles are not readily dissolved in water, before producing the concrete samples, the GO nanoparticles are dispersed in the mixture by using a shaker, magnetic striker, ultrasonic devices, and finally, by means of a mechanical mixer. The sinusoidal shear deformation beam theory (SSDBT) is employed to model the concrete beams. The Mori-Tanaka model is used to determine the effective properties of the structure, including the agglomeration influences. The motion equations are calculated by applying the energy method and Hamilton's principle. The vibration frequencies of the concrete beam samples are obtained by an analytical method. Three samples containing 0.02% GO nanoparticles are made and their compressive strengths are measured and compared. There is a good agreement between our results and those of the mathematical model and other papers, with a maximum difference of 1.29% between them. The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of nanoparticle volume fraction and agglomeration and the influences of beam length and thickness on the vibration frequency of concrete structures. The results show that by adding the GO nanoparticles, the vibration frequency of the beams is increased.

In this paper, the effect of deepness on in-plane free vibration behavior of a curved functionally graded (FG) nanobeam based on nonlocal elasticity theory has been investigated. Differential equations and boundary conditions have been developed based on Hamilton's principle. In order to figure out the size effect, nonlocal theory has been adopted. Properties of material vary in radial direction. By using Navier solution technique, the amount of natural frequencies has been obtained. Also, to take into account the deepness effect on vibrations, thickness to radius ratio has been considered. Differences percentage between results of cases in which deepness effect is included and excluded are obtained and influences of power-law exponent, nonlocal parameter and arc angle on these differences percentage are studied. Results show that arc angle and power law exponent parameters have the most influences on the amount of the differences percentage due to deepness effect. It has been observed that the inclusion of geometrical deep term and material distribution results in an increase in sensitivity of dimensionless natural frequency about variation of aforementioned parameters and a change in variation range of natural frequency. Finally, several numerical results of deep and shallow curved functionally graded nanobeams with different geometry dimensions are presented, which may serve as benchmark solutions for the future research in this field.

Ag sintering technologies have received great attention as it was applied to the inverter of Tesla's electric vehicle Model III. Ag sinter bonding technology has advantages in heat dissipation design as well as high-temperature stability due to the intrinsic properties of the material, so it is useful for practical use of SiC and GaN devices. This study was carried out to understand the sinter joining temperature effect on the robust Ag sintered joints in air without pressure within 10 min. Electroplated Ag finished Cu dies (3 mm × 3 mm × 2 mm) and substrates (10 mm × 10 mm × 2 mm) were introduced, respectively, and nano Ag paste was applied as a bonding material. The sinter joining process was performed without pressure in air with the bonding temperature as a variable of 175 ℃, 200 ℃, 225 ℃, and 250 ℃. As results, the bonding temperature of 175 ℃ caused 13.21 MPa of die shear strength, and when the bonding temperature was raised to 200 ℃, the bonding strength increased by 157% to 33.99 MPa. When the bonding temperature was increased to 225 ℃, the bonding strength of 46.54 MPa increased by about 37% compared to that of 200 ℃, and even at a bonding temperature of 250 ℃, the bonding strength exceeded 50 MPa. The bonding strength of Ag sinter joints was directly influenced by changes in the necking thickness and interfacial connection ratio. In addition, developments in the morphologies of the joint interface and porous structure have a significant effect on displacement. This study is systematically discussed on the relationship between processing temperatures and bonding strength of Ag sinter joints.

This paper investigates the dynamic behavior of a simply supported viscoelastic plate made of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite under dynamic loading. Carbon nanotubes are distributed in 5 different shapes: U, V, A, O and X, depending on the shape they form through the thickness of the plate. The displacement fields are derived in the Laplace domain using a higher-order shear deformation theory. Equations of motion are obtained through the application of the energy method and Hamilton's principle. The resulting equations of motion are solved using Navier's method. Transforming the Laplace domain displacements into the time domain involves Durbin's modified inverse Laplace transform. To validate the accuracy of the developed algorithm, a free vibration analysis is conducted for simply supported plate made of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite and compared against existing literature. Subsequently, a parametric forced vibration analysis considers the influence of various parameters: volume fractions of carbon nanotubes, their distributions, and ratios of instantaneous value to retardation time in the relaxation function, using a linear standard viscoelastic model. In the forced vibration analysis, the dynamic distributed load applied to functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite viscoelastic plate is obtained in terms of double trigonometric series. The study culminates in an examination of maximum displacement, exploring the effects of different carbon nanotube distributions, volume fractions, and ratios of instantaneous value to retardation times in the relaxation function on the amplitudes of maximum displacements.

반도체 산업에서 회로의 고집적화와 다층구조를 형성하기 위해 화학적-기계적 연마(CMP: Chemical-Mechanical Planarization) 공정이 도입되었으며 반도체 패턴의 미세화와 다층화에 따라 화학적-기계적 연마 공정의 중요성은 더욱 강조되고 있다. 화학적-기계적 연마공정이란 화학적 반응과 기계적 힘을 동시에 이용하여 표면을 평탄화하는 공정으로, 화학적-기계적 연마 공정은 압력, 속도 등의 공정조건과, 화학적 반응을 유도하는 슬러리(Slurry), 기계적 힘을 위한 패드 등에 의해 복합적으로 영향을 받는다. 패드 컨디셔닝이란 컨디셔너가 화학적-기계적 연마 공정 중에 지속적으로 패드 표면을 연마하여 패드의 손상된 부분을 제거하고 새로운 표면을 노출시켜 패드의 상태를 일정하게 유지시키는 것을 말한다. 한편, 금속박막의 화학적-기계적 연마 공정에 사용되는 슬러리는 금속박막과 산화반응을 하기 위하여 산화제를 포함하는데, 산화제는 금속 컨디셔너 표면을 산화시켜 부식을 야기한다. 컨디셔너의 표면부식은 반도체 수율에 직접적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 스크래치(Scratch) 등을 발생시킬 뿐만 아니라, 컨디셔너의 수명도 저하시키게 되므로 이를 방지하기 위한 노력이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 컨디셔너 표면에 슬러리와 컨디셔너 표면 간에 일어나는 표면부식을 방지하기 위하여 유기박막을 표면에 증착하여 부식을 방지하고자 하였다. 컨디셔너 제작에 사용되는 금속인 니켈과 니켈 합금을 기판으로 하고, 증착된 유기박막으로는 자기조립단분자막(SAM: Self-Assembled Monolayer)과 불화탄소(FC: FluoroCarbon) 박막을 증착하였다. 자기조립단분자막은 2가지 전구체(Perfluoroctyltrichloro silane(FOTS), Dodecanethiol(DT))를 사용하여 기상 자기조립 단분자막 증착(Vapor SAM) 방법으로 증착하였고, 불화탄소막은 10 nm, 50 nm, 100 nm 두께로 PE-CVD(Plasma Enhanced-Chemical Vapor Deposition, SRN-504, Sorona, Korea) 방법으로 증착하여 표면의 부식특성을 평가하였다. 표면 부식 특성은 동전위분극법(Potentiodynamic Polarization)과 전기화학적 임피던스 측정법(Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy(EIS)) 등의 전기화학 분석법을 사용하여 평가되었다. 또한 측정된 임피던스 데이터를 전기적 등가회로(Electrical Equivalent Circuit) 모델에 적용하여 부식 방지 효율을 계산하였다. 동전위분극법과 EIS의 결과 분석으로부터 유기박막이 증착된 표면의 부식전류밀도가 감소하고, 임피던스가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

상변화 메모리 재료로 사용 가능한 In-Sb-Te (IST) 박막을 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 사용하여 증착한 후 열처리를 통해 온도에 따른 결정화 거동 및 미세구조를 투과전자현미경(TEM)을 통해 분석하였다. IST 박막은 as-dep 상태에서 비정질상으로 존재하였으며, 열처리 온도에 따라 결정상인 InSb, $In_3SbTe_2$, InTe으로 상변화가 일어났다. 이러한 상변화는 기존의 삼원계 상태도와 다른 비평형 상태에서의 상변태가 이루어짐을 확인할 수 있다. 상변화 과정 중 박막의 두께가 무질서하게 배열되었던 비정질상에서 규칙적인 배열을 갖는 결정질상으로 변할수록 감소하는 경향을 확인하였다. 또한 각각의 결정립의 크기도 온도가 증가할수록 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. 특히, $350^{\circ}C$ 열처리한 박막의 InSb 상은 비정질 상태에서 표면에너지가 가장 낮은 {111}면을 따라 facet을 이루며 결정화가 이루어졌다. 온도가 증가함에 따라 $In_3SbTe_2$로 상변화가 일어났는데, $400^{\circ}C$ 열처리한 시편의 경우 미소영역에서 마이크로 트윈들이 관찰되었다. 이 면결함은 {111}면을 따라 양쪽의 격자점들이 일치하는 정합 쌍정립계를 이루고 있었으며, $450^{\circ}C$에서 동일영역을 관찰해 본 결과 쌍정 결함들이 치유되어 {111} facet 면을 이루고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 비교적 작은 영역에서 상분리가 일어난 InTe 상도 관찰하였다. InTe 상의 경우 포정반응 온도인 $555^{\circ}C$보다 낮은 온도에서 관찰되었는데, InTe의 (002)면과 $In_3SbTe_2$의 (111)면이 비슷한 면간거리를 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 추가적으로 $500^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 이들의 결정학적 관계에 따른 상변화 과정에 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
