Microcellular foaming plastics create a sensation at polymer industrial for lowering product costs and overcoming a lowering of mechanical intensity. Among many advantages, microcellular foaming plastics is well known to have a good acoustical properties. This research based on the experiment of sound absorption and transmission characteristics inquire into acoustical properties of microcellular foaming plastics. Difference of transmission loss of microcellular foaming plastics and solid materials was defined as cell effect. Also, cell effect is expressed by sound reflection and sound absorption. This study is expected to fundamental research to present economical, functional alternative plan for products using sound absorption and transmission materials.

The differences of properties for both single-layered and multi-layered porous silicon were investigated. Multistructured porous silicons such as DBR or rugate porous silicon exhibit strong reflection resonances providing the reflection of a specific wavelength in the optical reflectivity spectrum. DBR PSi displays a square varying porosity gradient in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the filter but a sinusoidally varying porosity gradient was obtained for rugate PSi.

We have deposited the three kinds of the Langmuir-Blodgett films (Phenylhy drazone, O-stilbazene, N-stilbazene) which have optically nonlinear effect. To study the electro-optic characteristics of these LB films, we performed the differential attenuated total reflection experiment in which the optical properties of the LB films modulated by the electric field(νE = 1KHz). The surface non-linear susceptibilities $\chi$(2) of these LB films obtained, are 1.17$\times$10-10 (m/V), 36.3$\times$10-10 (m/V), and 1.62$\times$10-10 (m/V) for Phenylhydrazone, O-stilbazene, and N-stilbazene, respectively.

We have investigated spectral properties of the periodic arrays of aluminum rods and holes on papers using the terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The size of a rod(hole) is $600{\mu}m{\times}100{\mu}m$ and the spacing is $300{\mu}m$. The samples were fabricated by a femtosecond laser micromachining system. The periodic arrays of aluminum rods exhibit high reflection around 0.25 THz when the polarization of the THz pulse is parallel to the long axis of the rod, whereas the periodic arrays of holes exhibit high transmission around 0.25 THz when the polarization of the THz pulse is perpendicular to the long axis of the hole.

Cr-CrO cermet solar selective coatings with a double cermets layer film structure were prepared using a special direct current (dc) magnetron sputtering technology. The typical films structures from surface to bottom substrate were measured to be an $Al_2O_3$ anti-reflection layer on a double Cr-CrO cermet layer on an Al metal infrared reflection layer. Optical properties of optimized Cr-CrO cermet solar selective coating were absorptance (${\alpha}$) = 0.95 and emittance (${\varepsilon}$) = 0.10 ($100^{\circ}C$). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) image showed that Cr-CrO cermet film was very smooth and their grain size was also very small The results of thermal stability test showed that the Cr-CrO cermet solar selective coatings were stable for use at temperature of $400^{\circ}C$.

We report the spin injection and transport properties of three terminal devices of Co/Au/$YBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{y}$(F/N/S) tunnel junctions by injection of spin-polarized quaiparticles using a cobalt ferromagnetic injector. The observed current gain depends on the thickness of Au interlayer and is directly related to the nonequilibrium magnetization due to spin relaxation effects. The tunnel characteristic of a F/N/S tunnel junctions exhibited a zero bias conductance peak (ZBCP). The suppression of the ZBCP was observed due to the suppression of Andreev reflection at the interface, which is due to the spin scattering processes at the interface between a ferromagnetic and a d-wave superconductor.r.

This article describes the ultrasonic range sensor for the recognition of the Indoor environment, especially utilizing the multiple reflection properties of the sonar usually ignored as disturbances or noises. In this paper, we endow the ultrasonic range sensor with the active motion using the stepping servomechanism in order to get the multiple reflections with environment objects. Environment features such as target type, distance and azimuth based on the scanned one frame data of that multiple reflection patterns are recognized simultaneously.

This paper describes a sonic polygonal multiple reflection range sensor (SPMRS), which uses multiple reflection properties usually ignored in ultrasonic sensors as disturbances or noises. Targets such as a plane, corner, edge, or cylinder in indoor environments can easily be detected by the multiple reflection patterns obtained with a SPMRS system. Target classification and feature data extraction, such as distance and azimuth to the target, are computed simultaneously by considering the geometrical relationships between the detected targets, and finally the environment model is generated by refining the detected targets. In addition, the narrow field of view of a sonar range sensor is increased and the scanning time is reduced by active motion of the SPMRS stepping servomechanism.

Epoxy coating and sealing used in nuclear plants for the protection of radiation degrades with aging and hazardous atmosphere. In order to evaluate the degradation of the epoxy, dependence of the acoustic impedance on the change of mechanical properties has been used. Unlike metals, the surface of the epoxy coating on a concrete liner is so wavy that the acoustic impedance is difficult to measure by using the reflectivity of the ultrasound on the interface surface because of the irregular reflection and propagation from the epoxy surface. SA(simulated annealing) algorithm is applied to calculate the acoustic impedance using a reflection wave from the rough epoxy surface. The surface waviness and acoustic impedance are taken into account and determined by SA method to evaluate the state of degradation quantitatively.
