This paper presents a novel surface acoustic wave (SAW)-based pressure sensor, which is composed of single phase unidirectional transducer (SPUDT), three reflectors, and a deep etched substrate for bonding underneath the diaphragm. Using the coupling of modes (COM) theory, the SAW device was simulated, and the optimized design parameters were extracted. Finite Element Methods (FEM) was utilized to calculate the bending and stress/strain distribution on the diaphragm under a given pressure. Using extracted optimal design parameters, a 440 MHz reflective delay line on 41o YX LiNbO3 was developed. High S/N ratio, shan reflection peaks, and small spurious peaks were observed. The measured S11 results showed a good agreement with simulated results obtained from coupling-of-modes (COM) modeling and Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis.

Titania nanoparticles were prepared by controlled hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) in water-in-oil (W/O) and microemulsion stabilized with a nonionic surfactant, N P-10 (Polyoxyethylene Nonylphenol Ether: $C_9H_{19}C_6H_4(OCH_2CH_2)_{10}OH$)). The nanosized particles prepared in W/O microemulsion were characterized by FT-IR, TEM, XRD, TGA, and DTA. In addition, the photocatalytic degradation of p-nitrophenol has been studied by using a batch reactor in the presence of UV light in order to compare the photocatalytic activity of prepared nanosized titania. The nanaosized titania particles calcined at $300{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ showed an anatase structure, but it transformed to a rutile phase above $700^{\circ}C$ of calacination temperature. With an increase of $W_o$ ratio, the crystallite size increased but photocalytic activity decreased. The titania synthesized at $W_o=5$, R = 2, and calcined at $400{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ showed the highest activity on the photocatalytic degradation of p-nitrophenol.

Peridotite xenoliths in middle Miocene alkaline basalt from the Mt. Baekdu area are mainly anhydrous spinel lherzolites, displaying coarse-grained protogranular texture. These xenoliths have late-stage secondary orthopyroxene replacing olivine as the metasomatic mineral and glass formed along the grain boundaries. The studied xenoliths are characterized by the high $Mg{\sharp}[=100{\times}Mg/(Mg+Fe_{total})$ atomic ratio] of olivine, orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene (89~92) and the $Cr{\sharp}[=100{\times}Cr/(Cr+Al)$ atomic ratio] of spinel (10~29). Based on major-element data, the studied xenoliths are similar to those from the abyssal peridotites. Clinopyroxenes of the xenoliths are mostly enriched in incompatible trace elements, exhibiting two types of REE patterns: (1) LREE-depleted with $(La/Yb)_N$ of 0.1~0.2 and $(La/Ce)_N$ of 0.4~0.8. (2) LREE enriched with $(La/Yb)_N$ of 2.2~3.8 and $(La/Ce)_N$ of 1.2~1.6. The calculated equilibrium temperatures and oxygen fugacities resulted in $920{\sim}1050^{\circ}C$ and ${\Delta}fO_2(QFM)=-0.8{\sim}0.2$, respectively. It is suggested that the Mt. Baekdu peridotite xenoliths represent residues left after variable degrees of melt extraction(less than 15 vol%), which was subsequently subjected to different degrees of modal/cryptic metasomatism by silica- and LREE-enriched fluids (or melts).

In this paper, effect of MnO$_2$ addition(0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5wt%) on the microstructure, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of [xPMW - (0.15-x) PNN] - [yPT-(0.85-y)PZ] (x=0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.05, y = 0.35, 0.40, ().425, 0.45, 0.5) were investigated. When Ti/Zr ratio was 1.0, dielectric and piezoelectric properties were highest value. With PMW 2mol%, dielectric constant, dielectric constant (d$\_$33/, d$\_$31/) and electromechanical coupling factor (kp, k$\_$31/) were highest values of 1995, 479, 186(x10$\^$-12/C/N), 0.61, 0.36, respectively. With the addition of MnO$_2$, dielectric constant, electromechanical coupling factor (kp, k$\_$31/) were decreased, but with 0.3wt% MnO$_2$, eletromechanical coupling factor was highest value of 0.63. With the addition of MnO$_2$, mechanical quality(Q$\_$m/ was increased.

In perovskite solar cells with planar heterojunction configuration, selection of proper charge-transporting layers is very important to achieve stable and efficient device. Here, we developed solution processible Cu doped NiO_x (Cu:NiO_x) thin film as a hole-transporting layer (HTL) in p-i-n structured methylammonium lead trihalide (MAPbI₃) perovskite solar cell. The transmittance and thickness of NiO_x HTL is optimized by control the spin-coating rate and Cu is additionally doped to improve the surface morphology of undoped NiO_x thin film and hole-extraction properties. Consequently, a perovskite solar cell containing Cu:NiO_x HTL with optimal doping ratio of Cu exhibits a power conversion efficiency of 14.6%.

In this studies, structural, dielectrical piezoelectrical properties and temperature stability of 0.05Pb(Pb($Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}$)$O_3$+ 0.95Pb($Zr_{0.53}Tio_{0.47}$)$O_3$+$\alpha$[wt%] $Cr_2O_3$ piezoelectric ceramics fabricated by the Hot-Press method were investigated. And Poisson ratios of the specimens were measured in order to see that they can be used as the substrates for energy-trapped devices. The specimens of which Poisson ratio was more than 3/1 had the $\alpha$ range 0.3~0.75, and piezoelectric properties were degraded in the range $\alpha$$\geq$0.75, and temperature stability was good in the $\alpha$ range 0.5~0.75. Accordingly, the optimal point of $Cr_2O_3$ additive weight is sure to be in the vicinity of 0.5[wt%].

By making the inter-metal PECVD $SiO_2$ as a Si rich oxide under the SOG, the hydrogen and water related diffusants could be captured a t SI dangling bonds. This gettering process was known to prevent the device characteristics degradations related to the H, $H_20$. The basic characteristics of Si rich oxide have been studied according to changing high/low frequency power and $SiH_4/N_2O$ gas flow ratio in PECVD. As increase in low frequency power, deposition rate decreased but K.I. and compressive stress increased. Decrease of the water peaks of FTIR spectra at the wave number range of 3300~3800$\textrm{cm}^{-1}$' also indicated that intensty the films were densified. As increase in SiH, gas flow rate, deposition rate, R.I. and etch rate increased while compressive stress decreased. F'TIK spectra showed that peak intensity corresponding to Si-0-Si stretching vibration decreased and shifted to the lower wave numbers. But AES showed that Si dangl~ng bonds were increased as a result of lower Si:O(l: 1.23) ratlo inthe Si rich oxide as compared to Si : O(1 : 1.98) ratio of usual oxide.

Effects of $La_2O_3$, $MnO_2$ on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of $0.02Pb(Y_{2/3}W_{1/3}O_3-0.98Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ system were investigated. The addition of La2O3 to the system enhanced electromechanical coupling factor (kp), piezoelectric constant (d33), but hardly changed mechanical quality factor (Qm). On the other hand, the addition of $MnO_2$ increased Qm significantly, but did not degrade kp and d33 so much. The piezoelectric properties of $0.02Pb(Y_{2/3}W_{1/3}O_3-0.98Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ containing 0.1wt% $La_2O_3$, 0.4wt% $MnO_2$ were very good and kp, d33, Qm were 55%, 350$\times$10-12C/N, 780, respectively. The size of the grains was proportional to the change of c/a (tetragonality) ratio caused by the addition of $La_2O_3$ and $MnO_2$, and dielectric, piezoelectric properties were sensitive to the amountof pyrochrole phase.

In this study, $Ni-W-Si_3N_4$ alloy composite coatings were prepared by pulse electrodeposition method using nickel sulfate bath with different contents of tungsten source, $Na_2WO_4.2H_2O$, and dispersed $Si_3N_4$ nano particles. The structure and microstructure ofcoatings was separately analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results indicated that nano $Si_3N_4$ and W content in alloy had remarkable effect on microstructure, microhardness and scratch resistant properties. Tungsten content in Ni-W and $Ni-W-Si_3N_4$ alloy ranged from 7 to 14 at.%. Scratch test results suggest that as compared to Ni-W only, $Ni-W-Si_3N_4$ prepared from Ni/W molar ratio of 1:1.5 dispersed with 20 g/L $Si_3N_4$ has shown the best result among different samples.

$Ni-W-Si_3N_4$ alloy composite coatings were prepared by pulse electro-deposition method using nickel sulfate bath with different contents of tungsten source, $Na_2WO_4.2H_2O$, and dispersed $Si_3N_4$ nano-particles. The structure and micro-structure of coatings was separately analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results indicated that nano $Si_3N_4$ and W content in alloy had remarkable effect on micro-structure, micro-hardness and scratch resistant properties. Tungsten content in Ni-W and $Ni-W-Si_3N_4$ alloy ranged from 7 to 14 at.%.
