  • Surface and mechanical properties of thin films with submicron thickness was characterized by nanoindentation with Berkovich and Vickers tips, and scanning probe microscopy. Nanoindention was made in a depth range of 15 to 200 nm from the surface by applying tiny force in a range from 150 to $9,000 \mu$N. Stiffness, contact area, hardness, and elastic modulus were determined from the force-displacement curve obtained. Reliability was first tested by using fused quartz, a standard sample. Elastic modulus and hardness values of fused quartz measured were the same as those reported in the literature within two percent of error. Mechanical properties of ITO thin film were characterized in a depth range of 15∼200nm. As indentation depth increased, elastic modulus and hardness decreased by substrate effect. Ion beam deposited DLC thin films were indented in a depth range of 40∼50 nm. The results showed that the DLC thin film using benzene and bias voltage 0∼-50 V has elastic modulus and hardness value of 132 and 18 GPa respectively. Pure DLC thin films showed roughnesses lower than 0.25 nm, but silicon-added DLC thin films showed much higher roughness values, and the wavy surface morphology.

  • Ultrasound imaging by using piezoelectric materials, such as lead zirconium titanate (PZT) has been one of the most preferred modes of imaging in the medical field due to its simple, low cost and non-ionizing radiation in comparison to other imaging techniques. Recently, the market demand for portable ultrasound is becoming larger with applications in developing countries, disaster area, military, and emergency purposes. However, most of ultrasound probes used is bulky and high power consumable, so unsuitable for such applications. In this study, the 3 layered ceramic specimen consisted of 128 pitches of $420{\mu}m$ in width and $450{\mu}m$ in thickness were prepared by using the Ti-rich PZT compositions co-fired at $1,050^{\circ}C$. Their electrical and ultrasound pulse-echo properties were investigated and compared to the single layer specimen. The 3 layered ultrasound probe showed 1.584 V of Vp-p, which is 3.2 times higher than single layered one, implying that it would allow effectively such a portable ultrasound probe system. The result were discussed in terms of higher capacitance, lower impedance and higher dielectric coefficient of the 3 layered ultrasound probe.

  • A new eddy current testing probe was developed to separate the eddy current signal distortion caused by permeability variation clusters and ordinary defects created in steam generator tubes. Signal processing circuits were inserted into the probe to increase the signal-to-noise ratio and allow digital signal transmission. The new probe could measure and separate the magnetic phases created in the steam generator tubes in the operating environment of a nuclear power plant. Furthermore, the new eddy current testing probe can measure the defects in steam generator tubes as rapidly as a bobbin probe with enhanced testing speed and reliability of defect detection.

  • We estimated the critical current distribution of the long length CCs using hall probe method, and checked the reliability by comparing with the four-probe dc transport method. The deviation ratio of $I_{c-T}$ (a measured critical current by four probe dc transport method) and $I_{c-H}$ (calculated critical current by formula (3).) was nearly smaller than 12%. The Hall probe method appeared powerful to evaluate the critical current of CCs in a reel to reel system.

  • Exploration in microelectromechanical systems(MEMS) and nanotechnology requires evaluation techniques suitable for sub-micron length scale so that thermal and mechanical properties of novel materials can be investigated for optimal design of miro/nanostructures. The ultrafast optical pump-probe technique provides a contact-free and non-destructive way to characterize nanoscale thin-films, and its ultrahigh temporal resolution enables the study of heat-transport phenomena down to a sub-picosecond regime. This paper reviews the principle of optical pump-probe technique and introduces its application to the area of micro/nano-NDE.

  • Measured radiative heat fluxes on the furnace exit plane of a heavy duty power boiler of steam output 1650 T/h are discussed. A high-ash pulverized bituminous coal was used. Such measurements are necessary to improve heat fluxes inside a steam boiler furnace was manufactured. An extra small heat radiation sensor was placed in the water cooled head of the probe. The sensor had no direct contact with furnace gases and measured only the radiant energy. There was no exposure to convective heat transfer. With the radiometric probe, one can obtain a spherical indicatrix of radiation intensity as well as hemispherical radiative heat flux incident on any surface passing through a measuring point inside the furnace. Thus, the quantity of radiation energy, passing through the furnace exit plane, to the convective heating surfaces and the quantity of radiation energy going in the opposite direction were measured. A formula for relative radiative heat flux on the furnace exit plane has been proposed.
