Practical efficiencies of pulsed gas discharge lasers utilizing vaporized Au, Ba, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, TI atoms are numerically optimized for a discharge pulse of 30 ns rise time at 5 kHz pulse repetition rate. Calculated optimum operating temperatures are close to the values at which the vapor pressure of each atom is about 1 Torr and are in good agreement with experimental values reported elasewhere. The optimum charging voltage was about 4 kV for all atomic vapor lasers except the TI laser. The calculated maximum efficiencies that have been discussed for possible limiting efficiencies for each laser were considerably higher than the reported experimental values. Especially, they were as high as 6.8% for Mn laser and 15% for Ba laser that were comparable to the 8.5% of copper vapor laser, from which considerably higher efficiencies can be expected for these two lasers experimentally. But, the present calculation shows a very low efficiency of 0.058% and requires an exceptional operating condition for the TI laser.

In this study, we propose a small high voltage power supply which use a half-bridge ZCS resonant and Cockroft-Walton on circuit, for ESP (Electrostatic Precipitator). This power supply transfers energy from ZCS resonant inverter to step-up transformer and the transformer secondary is applied to the Cockroft-Walton circuit for generating high voltage as discharging source of electrodes. It is highly efficient because its amount of switching losses are reduced by virtue of the current resonant half-bridge inverter, and also due to the small size, low parasitic capacitance in the transformer stage owing to the low number of winding turns of the step up transformer secondary combined with the Cockroft-Walton circuit. From these results, the best operational condition is obtained at the switching frequency of 9 kHz and the duty ratio of 50 % in this ESP.

Hollow cathode discharge(중공 음극)는 음극 표면에서 발생되는 2차 전자를 이용하여 높은 밀도의 플라즈마를 만들 수 있는 장점이 있다. 전원으로 microwave, RF, DC, pulsed dc등을 사용할 수 있으며 박막의 증착, 식각 등에 응용 가능하다. 물리적 현상으로는 중공 음극 재료 표면 물질의 가열 및 이온 스퍼터링, 2차 전자의 가열, 자기장 인가 구조의 경우 전자 거동이 있다. PIC(particle-in-cell)방식의 모델링과 fluid model을 이용한 방법이 있는데 본 연구에서는 상용 fluid model software인 ESI사의 CFD-ACE+를 사용하여 모델링 하였다. 구동 주파수는 13.56 MHz의 상용 고주파 전원과 보다 낮은 1 MHz, 100 kHz의 수치 모델을 이용하여 HF, MF, LF 영역에서의 동작 특성을 해석하였다. 1차적으로는 가스 유동의 특성을 2D, 3D로 조사하였고 플라즈마 거동은 2차원을 주로 진행하였으며 계산 시간이 오래 거리는 3차원 모델을 하나 만들어 그 특성을 조사하였다.

A gas chromatographic method for the determination of airborne formaldehyde was established. In order to be highly detectable with the electron capture detector, formaldehyde was derivatized to its pentafluorobenzyl oxime form by reacting with O- (2,3,4,5,6- pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine hydrochloride (PFBHA) at pH of 4.6 and temperature of 50$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. Air samples were collected into a Tedlar$\^$(R)/ bag followed by transferring into water contained in two impingers in series. Collection efficiency in the front trap was higher than 90％. Measurement of selected indoor and outdoor air samples showed higher formaldehyde concentrations in indoor air environments and the importance of ventilation for reducing indoor pollution.

The axial speed of plasma current sheath was measured with Rogowski coils and compared with the theory of snowplow model. Current sheath speed is measured with $10^6cm/s$. The speed of light gas, $H_2$ and He were similar to the theory of model, but the heavy gas, Ar was not similar to the theory. The disagreement of the heavy gas was guessed as a results of the instability of the current sheath.

We have grown N-doped ZnO thin films on sapphire substrate by employing dielectric barrier discharge in pulsed laser deposition (DBD-PLD). DBD guarantees an effective way for massive in-situ generation of N-plasma under the conventional PLD process condition. Low-temperature photoluminescence spectra of the N-doped ZnO film provided near band-edge emission after thermal annealing process. The emission peak was resolved by Gaussian fitting and showed a dominant acceptor-bound exciton peak ($A^0X$) that indicated the successful p-type doping of ZnO with N.

This paper describes preliminary discussions on spatial distribution of NO density, which is mostly contained in simulated NOX exhaust, between a wire-cylinder geometry discharge gaps by using Laser Induced Fluorescence(LIF) Spectroscopy. Spatial distribution of NO density will be measured with varying NO concentrations from 166 to 644[ppm] and diameters of central electrode from 6 to 10mm. Pulsed Nd:YAG laser, Optical Parametric Oscillator(OPO), and Frequency Doubler are used to excite NO molecules to their excited state.

소형 대기압 플라즈마 소스는 그 형태에 따라 DBD (Dielectric Barrier Discharge)나 Plasma Needle, 혹은 Plasma Jet 등으로 구별되며, 구동 파형의 특성에 따라 DC, RF (Radio Frequency), 혹은 Pulsed 방식 등으로 나뉜다. 또한 코로나 방전도 소형 대기압 플라즈마 장치에서 사용된다. DBD는 1857년 Siemens에 의해 최초로 보고 되었고 산업 분야에서 대규모로 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 대향 방전 DBD 대신 유전체 양쪽 면에 전극이 도포된 면방전 형태의 DBD 구조 내부로 He 가스가 흐를 때의 방전에 대한 광학적 진단을 수행하였다. 전극간의 거리와 가스 유속의 변화에 따라 방전 특성이 어떻게 달라지에 대해서 Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES)를 통하여 생성되는 radical 종의 변화를 측정하고 ICCD (intensified charge coupled device) image를 통해 방전이 시간에 따라 어떻게 진행되는지를 진단하였다.

$Si_3N_4$/TiN nano/nano-type composites were successfully fabricated by the combination of a mechano-chemical grinding (MCG) method and a short time sintering process, and their wear resistance was evaluated. Powder mixtures of $\alpha-Si_3N_4$and Ti were prepared using mechano-chemical grinding process and the resulting nanocomposite powder mixtures were consolidated using pulsed electric current sintering (PECS). TEM observation showed that the nano/nano-type composites consisted of homogeneous and very fine matrix grains with the size less than 100 nm. The obtained $Si_3N_4$-based nano/nano-type showed high wear resistance and electric discharge machinability.

The principal obstacle to selection of a laser processing method in production is its relatively high equipment cost and the natural unwillingness of production supervision to try something new until it is thoroughly proven. The major objective of this work is focused on the combined features of gas tungsten arc and a low-power cold laser beam. In this work, the laser beam from a 7 watts carbon monoxide laser was combined with electrical discharges from a short-pulsed capacitive discharge GTA welding power supply. When the low power CO laser beam passes through a special composition shielding gas, the CO molecules in the gas absorbs the radiation, and ionizes through a process blown as non-equilibrium, vibration-vibration pumping. The resulting laser-induced plasma(LIP) was positioned between various configurations of electrodes. The high-voltage impulse applied to the electrodes forced rapid electrical breakdown between the electrodes. Electrical discharges between tungsten electrodes and aluminum sheet specimens followed the ionized path provided by LIP. The result was well-focused melted spots.
