The recent study of Chae et al. (2017) found a one-to-one correspondence between plasma blobs outflowing along a ray formed after a coronal mass ejection (CME) and small X-ray flares. In the present work, we have examined the spatial configuration and the eruption process of the flares that are associated with the blobs by analyzing EUV images and magnetograms taken by the SDO/AIA and HMI. We found that the main flare and the successive small flares took place in a quadrupolar magnetic configuration characterized by predominant magnetic fields of positive polarity, two minor magnetic fragments of negative polarity, and a curved polarity inversion line between them, which suggests that the formation process of the blobs may be similar to that of the parent CME. We also found that the successive flares resulted in a gradual change of the quadrupolar magnetic configuration, and the relevant migration of flaring kernels. The three-dimensional geometry and the property of the current sheet, that is often supposed to be embedded in an observed post-CME ray, seem to keep changing because of mutual feedback between the successive flares and the temporal change of the magnetic field configuration. Our results suggest that the observed post-CME rays may not reflect the characteristics of the current sheet responsible for the impulsive phase of the flare.

A new two-line based inversion driving method is introduced for low power display-driver ICs. By inserting a timing offset between the chopper stabilization and the alternation of LCD polarity, we can reduce power consumption without noticeable degradation in the display quality. By applying the proposed scheme to 12" LCD applications, we achieved 7.5% and 27% power saving in the display-driver IC with white and black patterns, respectively.

ZnO는 비선형 전류전압 특성으로 인해 급작스런 과전류로부터 회로를 보호하는 바리스터로 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 바리스터의 전기적 특성 및 미세조직을 제어하기 위하여 다양한 첨가물을 넣은 ZnO 바리스터의 미세구조에는 대부분의 입자에 wurtzite 구조의 결정학적 극성이 바뀌는 inversion boundary (IB)가 존재한다. ZnO의 비선형 전류전압 특성이 반도성의 ZnO 입자간 계면에 형성되는 쇼트키 장벽에 기인함을 감안할 때 계면의 결정화학적 특성에 영향을 주는 IB에 대한 이해는 필수적이다. 본 연구에서 IB가 ZnO 바리스터의 성능에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 ZnO-$Bi_2O_3$에 각각 $Sb_2O_3$ 또는 $TiO_2$ 를 첨가하여 결정학적 특성이 서로 상반되는 IB를 유도하였고, 첨가량을 조절하여 모든 입자가 IB를 가지도록 하였다. 화학 에칭을 한 시편의 SEM 관찰을 통해 입자의 형상, 크기, 분포 및 IB의 결정학적 특성 등을 분석하였다. 각 시편의 바리스터 특성은 임피던스의 온도 의존성과 상온에서의 전류-전압 특성을 통해 평가하였다. 관찰된 전기적 특성들을 입내 IB의 결정학적 구조와 이로부터 결과되는 입계면의 극성의 차이를 통해 해석하고자 한다.

On December 13, 1996, an earthquake with local magnitude (M$_L$) 4.5 occurred in the Yeongwol area of South Korea. The epicenter was 37.2545$^{\circ}$N and 128.7277$^{\circ}$E, which is located inside the Okcheon Fold Belt. The waveform inversion analysis was carried out to estimate source parameters of the event according to the filtering bandwidth of seismic data. Using 0.02$\sim$0.2 Hz filtering bandwidth, focal depth and seismic moment were estimated to be 6 km and 1.3$\times$10$^{16}$ N$\cdot$m, respectively. This seismic moment corresponds to the moment magnitude (M$_W$) 4.7. The focal mechanism by the waveform inversion and P wave first motion polarity analysis is a strike slip faulting including a small thrust component, and the direction of P-axis is ENE-WSW. The moment magnitude estimated by spectral analysis was 4.8, which is similar to that estimated by waveform inversion. Average stress drop was estimated to be 14.3 MPa.

Sunspot penumbrae show supersonic downflow patches along the periphery. These patches are believed to be the return channels of the Evershed flow. There was previous study to investigate their structure in detail using Hinode SOT/SP observations (M. van Noort et al. 2013) but their data sample was only two sunspots. To make general description it needs to check more sunspot sample. We selected 242 downflow patches of 17 sunspots using Hinode SOT/SP observations from 2006 to 2012. Height-dependent maps of atmospheric parameters of these downflows was produced by using HeLix which was height dependent LTE inversion code of Stokes profiles. The inversion code at high resolution allows for the accurate determination of small scale structures. The recovered atmospheric structure of three layers indicates that regions with very high downflow velocities contain very strong magnetic fields reaching up to 7kG. The higher downflow velocity patches have bigger patch size. Magnetic fields of downflow patches are more vertical while penumbra shows horizontal field and neighbor of downflow patches have opposite polarity. Temperature of downflow patches at highest layer have more strong value than penumbra at deepest layer. The direction of velocity of downflow patches at highest layer have two branches. These result shows that we can expect some heating precess in the middle of layer.

The electrical drift mobility of charge carrier of Cholesteryl Benzoate was measured by Polarity inversion method in the temperature range 140~ 185$^{\circ}C$. with a view to revealing the mechanism of charge carrier transport. The electrical drift mobility of charge carrier of that increased from 2.5$\times$10-7$\textrm{cm}^2$/V.sec to 2.0$\times$10-6$\textrm{cm}^2$/v.sec as the temperature increased. As a result of the experiment, the mechanism of current transport is believed to be ionic mechanism.

We have proposed a new driving method which improve the current stability of a-Si:H TFTs for AMOLED. It performs the negative bias annealing on driving TFTs during a certain period of a frame time. In the proposed method, the range of data signals is significantly reduced by modulating VSS.

A simple two-terminal cyclic current-voltage(I-V) technique is used to measure the current-transients in MOS capacitors. Distinct charging/discharging currents were measured and analyzed as a function of (1) the hold time. (2) the gate polarity during the FNT electron injection, (3) the injection fluence and (4) the annealing time after the injection had stopped. Discharging and charging current-transients were strongly dependent upon the conditions for forming the inversion layer and the density of interface traps caused during the FNT electron injection, respectively. Several tentative mechanisms were suggested in the current work.

The emergence of a magnetic flux tube (flux emergence) is a process of transporting magnetic field from the solar interior to the atmosphere. This process naturally produces bipolar structure at the surface, in which emerging field lines simply connect opposite polarities, while observations suggest that the surface distribution of magnetic field is more complicated than a simple bipole. This study is aimed at solving this apparent mismatch between the model and observations, showing how the surface distribution changes from a simple bipolar distribution to a quadrupolar-like one, where a half-turn rotation of the polarity inversion line plays an important role. We explain the physical reason of this half-turn rotation and also discuss a possible configuration of filament magnetic field in terms of the quadrupolar-like structure formed via flux emergence.

본 연구에서는 능동 구동형 유기 발광 소자(AMOLED)에 쓰이는 수소화된 비정질 실리콘(a-Si:H)의 전류 안정성(stability)을 개선하기 위한 새로운 구동방법(driving method)을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 한 프레임 시간 중 특정 시간동안 비정질 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터(Thin Film Transistor, TFT)에 음의 화상데이터전압을 인가함으로써 열화(degradation)를 억제한다. 비정질 실리콘 박막트랜지스터의 열화를 회복하기 위한 음의 화상데이터의 진폭은 실제 이미지를 표현하는 이전에 인가한 양의 화상데이터에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구에서 제안된 구동방식을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 화소 회로의 동작을 검증하였고, 이를 통해 비정질 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터의 열화가 억제되는 것과 화면의 균일성(screen uniformity) 개선하고자 한다.
