Herein, different concepts for domain wall propagation based on currents and fields that could potentially be used in magnetic data storage devices based on domains and domain walls are reviewed. By direct imaging, we show that vortex and transverse walls can be displaced using currents due to the spin transfer torque effect. For the case of field-induced wall motion, particular attention is paid to the influence of localized fields and local heating on the depinning and propagation of domain walls. Using an Au nanowire adjacent to a permalloy structure with a domain wall, the depinning field of the wall, when current pulses are injected into the Au nanowire, was studied. The current pulse drastically modified the depinning field, which depended on the interplay between the externally applied field direction and polarity of the current, leading subsequently to an Oersted field and heating of the permalloy at the interface with the Au wire. Placing the domain wall at various distances from the Au wire and studying different wall propagation directions, the range of Joule heating and Oersted field was determined; both effects could be separated. Approaches beyond conventional field- and current-induced wall displacement are briefly discussed.

Porous Cu with a dispersion of nanoscale $Al_2O_3$ particles is fabricated by freeze-drying $CuO-Al_2O_3$/camphene slurry and sintering. Camphene slurries with $CuO-Al_2O_3$ contents of 5 and 10 vol% are unidirectionally frozen at $-30^{\circ}C$, and pores are generated in the frozen specimens by camphene sublimation during air drying. The green bodies are sintered for 1 h at $700^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$ in $H_2$ atmosphere. The sintered samples show large pores of $100{\mu}m$ in average size aligned parallel to the camphene growth direction. The internal walls of the large pores feature relatively small pores of ${\sim}10{\mu}m$ in size. The size of the large pores decreases with increasing $CuO-Al_2O_3$ content by the changing degree of powder rearrangement in the slurry. The size of the small pores decreases with increasing sintering temperature. Microstructural analysis reveals that 100-nm $Al_2O_3$ particles are homogeneously dispersed in the Cu matrix. These results suggest that a porous composite body with aligned large pores could be fabricated by a freeze-drying and $H_2$ reducing process.

TiO₂nanoparticles were synthesized using the metallorganic chemical vapor deposition process. Particles with and without metal ion dopants were obtained. X-ray photoelectron and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic measurements confirmed the stoichiometry of the TiO₂nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction patterns showed a polycrystalline anatase structure of TiO₂. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that these particles are of nanoscale dimensions. Exact particle size and size distribution analyses were carried out by dynamic light scattering. The average particle size was determined to be 22 nm. The nanosize particles provided large surface area for photocatalysis and a large number of free surface-charge carriers, which are crucial for the enhancement of photocatalytic activity. To improve the photocatalytic activity, metal ions, including transition metal ions $(Pd^{2+},\;Pt^{4+},\;Fe^{3+})$ and lanthanide ion $(Nd^{3+})$ were added to pure TiO₂nanoparticles. The effects of dopants on photocatalytic kinetics were investigated by the degradation of 2-chlorophenol under an ultraviolet light source. The results showed that the TiO₂nanoparticles with the metal ion dopants have higher photocatalytic activity than undoped TiO₂. The $Nd^{3+}$ ion of these dopant metal ions showed the highest catalytic activity. The difference in the photocatalytic activity with different dopants is related to the different ionic radii of the dopants.

Nanostuctures such as nanodot and nanowire have been extensively studied as building blocks for nanoscale devices. However, the direct growth of the nanostuctures at the desired position is one of the most important requirements for realization of the practical devices with high integrity. Self-assembled nanotemplate is one of viable methods to produce highly-ordered nanostructures because it exhibits the highly ordered nanometer-sized pattern without resorting to lithography techniques. And selective epitaxial growth (SEG) can be a proper method for nanostructure fabrication because selective growth on the patterned openings obtained from nanotemplate can be a proper direction to achieve high level of control and reproducibility of nanostructucture fabrication. Especially, SiGe has led to the development of semiconductor devices in which the band structure is varied by the composition and strain distribution, and nanostructures of SiGe has represented new class of devices such nanowire metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors and photovoltaics. So, in this study, various shaped SiGe nanostructures were selectively grown on Si substrate through ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHV-CVD) of SiGe on the hexagonally arranged Si openings obtained using nanotemplates. We adopted two types of nanotemplates in this study; anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) and diblock copolymer of PS-b-PMMA. Well ordered and various shaped nanostructure of SiGe, nanodots and nanowire, were fabricated on Si openings by combining SEG of SiGe to self-assembled nanotemplates. Nanostructure fabrication method adopted in this study will open up the easy way to produce the integrated nanoelectronic device arrays using the well ordered nano-building blocks obtained from the combination of SEG and self-assembled nanotemplates.

The main goal of this paper is to study the vibration of damaged core laminated annular plates with FG face sheets based on a three-dimensional theory of elasticity. The structures are made of a damaged isotropic core and two external face sheets. These skins are strengthened at the nanoscale level by randomly oriented Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and are reinforced at the microscale stage by oriented straight fibers. These reinforcing phases are included in a polymer matrix and a three-phase approach based on the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka scheme and on the Halpin-Tsai approach, which is developed to compute the overall mechanical properties of the composite material. In this study the effect of microcracks on the vibrational characteristic of the sandwich plate is considered. In particular, the structures are made by an isotropic core that undergoes a progressive uniform damage, which is modeled as a decay of the mechanical properties expressed in terms of engineering constants. These defects are uniformly distributed and affect the central layer of the plates independently from the direction, this phenomenon is known as "isotropic damage" and it is fully described by a scalar parameter. Three complicated equations of motion for the sectorial plates under consideration are semi-analytically solved by using 2-D differential quadrature method. Using the 2-D differential quadrature method in the r- and z-directions, allows one to deal with sandwich annular plate with arbitrary thickness distribution of material properties and also to implement the effects of different boundary conditions of the structure efficiently and in an exact manner. The fast rate of convergence and accuracy of the method are investigated through the different solved examples. The sandwich annular plate is assumed to have any arbitrary boundary conditions at the circular edges including simply supported, clamped and, free. Several parametric analyses are carried out to investigate the mechanical behavior of these multi-layered structures depending on the damage features, through-the-thickness distribution, and boundary conditions.

본 논문에서는 그래핀의 우수한 전기적 기계적 특성을 이용하여 정전기 인력에 의하여 휘어지는 그래핀이 수직 팁 게이트에 접촉 여부에 따라서 스위칭이 이루어지도록 조절할 수 있는 3단자 그래핀 NEMS 스위칭 소자에 대하여 연구하였다. 전형적인 MEMS 제작 공정을 이용하여 3단가 그래핀 NEMS 스위칭 소자 제작을 위한 공정을 설계하였고, 그 동작의 핵심 역학은 그래핀에 작용하는 정전기력과 그래핀 자체의 탄성력에 의하여 스우칭의 기계적인 동작이 설명될 수 있었다. 전기적인 동작에서는 그래핀과 핀 전극 사이의 접촉에 의한 접촉 전류와 그래핀이 전극에 접촉하지 않았음에도 그래핀과 핀 전극 사이의 강한 전기장으로 인한 방출전류가 흐를 수 있을 것으로 예상되었다. 실제 기계적인 동작에서 원자단위에서의 움직임을 분석하기 위하여 분자동력학 시뮬레이션 방법을 사용하여 수직 팁 게이트를 가지는 그래핀 기반 3단자 NEMS 스위치 동작에 관하여 연구하여, 기계적인 동작에 따라서 발생되는 다양한 현상들을 분자동력학 시뮬레이션을 통하여 연구함으로써 원자단위에서 이루어지는 다양한 역학들을 살펴보았다.

The main goal of this paper is to study vibration of damaged core laminated sectorial plates with Functionally graded (FG) face sheets based on three-dimensional theory of elasticity. The structures are made of a damaged isotropic core and two external face sheets. These skins are strengthened at the nanoscale level by randomly oriented Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and are reinforced at the microscale stage by oriented straight fibers. These reinforcing phases are included in a polymer matrix and a three-phase approach based on the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka scheme and on the Halpin-Tsai approach, which is developed to compute the overall mechanical properties of the composite material.

The fast rate of convergence and accuracy of the method are investigated through the different solved examples. The sandwich annular sector plate is assumed to be simply supported in the radial edges while any arbitrary boundary conditions are applied to the other two circular edges including simply supported, clamped and free. Several parametric analyses are carried out to investigate the mechanical behavior of these multi-layered structures depending on the damage features, through-the-thickness distribution and boundary conditions.

Mg-Zn-Ce계 합금에서 비정질 단상 및 hcp-Mg입자분산형 비정질합금이 20-40%, Zn, 0-10%Ce과 5-20%Zn, 0-5%Ce 의 조성범위에서 각각 생성되었다. 초미세 hcp-Mg입자분산형 $Mg_{85}Zn_{12}Ce_{3}$비정질합금은 급속응고 또는 급속응고리본의 열처리에 의해 Mg입자의 입경을 4-20nm의 범위로 조절할 수 있었으며, 이 범위에서는 밀착굽힘이 가능할 만큼 충분한 인성을 가지고 있었다. 이 합금의 최대인장강도($\sigma_{B}$)와 파단 연신율($\varepsilon_{f}$)은 hcp-Mg입자의 체적분율에 따라서 670-930MPa, 5.2-2.0%의 범위였으며, 최대 비강도($\sigma_{B}$밀도 =$\sigma_{s}$)는 $3.6 \times 10^5N \cdot m/kg$에 달하였다. 이와 같이 Mg입자분산형 비정질 합금의($\sigma_{B}$), ($\sigma_{s}$)그리고 $\varepsilon_{f}$의 최대치가 Mg-Zn-Ce계 비정질합금(690MPa, $2.5 \times 10^5N \cdot m/kg$, 2.5%)보다 월등하게 높다는 것은 주목할 만 하다. 복합상 조직이 형성됨으로서 기계적 강도가 증가하는 것은 동일 조성의 비정질상보다 강한 hcp과포화 고용체의 분산강화에 기인하는 것이라고 고찰되었다.

본 연구에서는 전자가 풍부한 구조단위(dithienosilole 및 benzodithiophene)와 전자가 부족한 구조단위(difluorobenzothiadiazole)를 주사슬에 교대로 갖는 작은 밴드갭 공중합체를 Stille 짝지움 반응을 이용하여 합성하였다. $^1H$ NMR을 통하여 각 단계별 화합물과 고분자의 구조를 확인하였다. GPC, TGA, UV-vis 분광분석기 및 cyclic voltammetry를 이용하여 합성한 고분자의 특성을 조사하였다. 합성한 공액고분자와 $PC_{70}BM$을 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:3, 1:3.5 및 1:4의 중량비로 혼합하여 ITO/PEDOT:PSS/polymer:$PC_{70}BM/Al$의 구조로 유기태양전지 소자를 제작하여 그 광전특성을 조사하였다. 고분자:$PC_{70}BM$의 혼합비율이 1:3에서 최고 1.0%의 광전변환효율이 달성되었다. TEM 실험을 통하여 1:3 혼합비율에서 유기태양전지에 가장 적합한 나노규모로 상분리가 일어났으며, 다른 혼합비율에서는 고분자와 $PC_{70}BM$의 뭉침현상에 기인하여 태양전지 특성이 낮아졌다.

자외선 광여기 전자현미경 (Ultraviolet - Photoelectron Emission Microscopy: UV-PEEM)을 이용하여 Si (001)과 (113) 표면에 Ge을 증착하면서 실시간으로 나노구조의 형성과 크기 및 형태 변화과정을 조사하였다. Ge은 PBEM에 부착된 e-beam 증착기를 이용하여 $450-550^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 in situ로 증착하면서 표면의 변화를 PEEM으로 관찰하였다. Ge을 ${\sim}0.4\;ML/min$의 증착율로 ${\sim}4\;ML$ 이상 두께로 증착했을 때, 두 Si 표면에서 Ge의 균일한 변형층(strained layer) 위에 island 구조가 형성되었다. 초기에 형성된 원형 모양의 island는 연속적인 Ge 증착에 따라, ripening 과정에 의해 크기가 점차 성장되었고 밀도는 감소하였으나, 형태는 원형 모양을 유지하였다. 시료 성장 후 공기 중 AFM 측정 결과, Si(001) 표면에는 dome 형태의 Ge island가 Si(113) 표면에는 윗면이 평판하고 다면의 옆면을 지닌 island 구조가 형성됨이 확인되었다. 반면에 ${\sim}0.15\;ML/min$의 낮은 증착율로 Ge을 증착했을 때, Si(113) 표면에서 원형의 Ge island가 길죽한(elongated) 형태의 나노선 구조로 변형됨이 관찰되었다. 또한, 계속적인 Ge 증착 두께를 증가시킴에 따라 표면에는 새로운 island가 형성되지 않고, 기존의 island들이 점차 길이 방향으로 크기가 증가하면서 [$33\bar{2}$] 방향으로 배열하였다. 이와 같은 Ge 나노구조의 형성과 형태 변화는 나노구조 형성과정에서 변형이완(strain relaxation)과 가원자(adatom)의 표면 동역학적 효과와 깊은 관련이 있는 것으로 분석된다.
