  • We study the relationships between the thermal emissivity of nuclear graphites (IG-110, PCEA, IG-430 and NBG-18) and their surface structural change by oxidation using scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The nonoxidized (0% weight loss) specimen had the surface covered with glassy materials and the 5% and 10% oxidized specimens, however, showed high roughness of the surface without glassy materials. During oxidation the binder materials were oxidized first and then graphitic filler particles were subsequently oxidized. The 002 interlayer spacings of the non-oxidized and the oxidized specimens were about $3.38{\sim}3.39{\AA}$. There was a slight change in crystallite size after oxidation compared to the nonoxidized specimens. It was difficult to find a relationship between the thermal emissivity and the structural parameters obtained from the XRD analysis.

  • High dielectric (Ba,Sr)TiO$_3$thin films were etched in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) as a function of C1$_2$/Ar gas mixing ratio. Under Cl$_2$(20)/Ar(80), the maximum etch rate of the BST films was 400$\AA$/min and selectivities of BST to Pt and PR were obtained 0.4 and 0.2, respectively. We investigated the etched surface of BST by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). From the result of XPS analysis, we found that residues of Ba-Cl and Ti-Cl bonds remained on the surface of the etched BST for high boiling point. The surface roughness decreased as Cl$_2$increases in C1$_2$/Ar plasma because of non-volatile etching products. This changed the nature of the crystallinity of BST. From the result of XRD analysis, the crystallinity of etched BST film maintained as similar to as-deposited BST under Ar only and Cl$_2$(20)/Ar(80). However, (100) orientation intensity of etched BST film abruptly decreased at Cl$_2$only plasma. It was caused that Cl compounds were redeposited on the etched BST surface and damaged to crystallinity of BST film during the etch process.

  • The machining accuracy and performance is largely influenced by the static, dynamic and thermal characteristics of spindle systems in machine tools, because the spindle system is a intermedium for cutting force from tool and machine powef from motor. Large cutting force and power are transmitted by bearing with a point or line contact. So, the spindle system is the static and dynamic weakest point in machine structure. For improvement of static stiffness of spindle system can be changed design parameters, such as diameter of spindle, stiffness of bearing and bearing span. But for dynamic stiffness, the change of the design parameters are not useful. In this paper, the combined bearing arrangement is suggested for high damping spindle system. The combined bearing arrangement is composed of tandem double back to back arrangement type ball bearins and a high damping hydrostatic bearing. The variation of static deflection and amplitude in first natural frequency is evaluated with the location of hydrostatic bearing between front and rear ball bearing. The optimized location of hydrostatic bearing for high static and dynamic stiffness is determined rapidly and exactly using the mode shape and transfer function of spindle. The calculation of damping effect on vibration by unbalance of grinding wheel and pulley in optimized spindle system is carried out to verify the validity of the combined bearing arrangement. Finally, the simulation of grinding process show that the surface roughness of workpiece with high damping spindle system is 60% better than with ball bearing spindle system.

  • The relationship between friction characteristics and iron oxides at the sliding interface was investigated. Three friction materials containing iron, magnetite $(Fe_3O_4)$ or hematite $(Fe_2O_3)$ were manufactured and friction tests were performed on gray cast iron disks to evaluate the friction coefficient as a function of sliding speed $\mu-\nu$. In-situ noise spectrum analyzer was employed to compare noise propensity during friction tests. Results show that the specimens with magnetite are more sensitive to velocity than those with iron or hematite. The specimens containing magnetite and hematite generated noise with different peaks in the spectrum. The difference in the peak frequency seems attributed to the different surface aggressiveness of iron oxides and intermittent changes of real contact area at the sliding interface during sliding. Surface morphology and roughness of the counter disc after the tests are also consistent with the aggressiveness of iron oxides.

  • Accurate wind data is essential for predicting airborne spread of virus. OpenFOAM was used for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation procedure which is under GNU GPL (General Public License). Using complex terrain, DEM (Digital Elevation Map) that was prepared from GIS information covering a research site is converted to a three dimensional surface mesh that is composed by quad and full hexahedral space meshes. Around this surface mesh, an extended computational domain volume was designed. Atmospheric flow boundary conditions were used at inlet and roughness height and was considered at terrain by using rough wall function. Two different wind conditions that was relatively stable during certain periods were compared in 3 different locations for validating the accuracy of the CFD computed solution. The result shows about 10 % of difference between the calculated result and measured data. This procedure can simulate a prediction of time-series data for airborne virus spread that can be used to make a web-based forecasting system of airborne virus spread.

  • In this paper, the effects of oxidants on tungsten chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process were investigated using three different oxidizers such as Fe(NO₃)₃, KIO₃ and H₂O₂. Moreover, the interaction between the tungsten film and the oxidizer was discussed by potentiodynamic polarization measurement with three different oxidizers, in order to compare the effects of W-CMP and electrochemical characteristics on the tungsten film as a function of oxidizer. As an experimental result, the tungsten removal rate reached a maximum at 5 wt% Fe(NO₃)₃concentration, and when 5 wt% H₂O₂was added in the slurry, the removal rate of W increased. Also, the microstructures of surface layer by atomic force microscopy(AFM) image were greatly influenced by the slurry chemical composition of oxidizers. It was shown that the surface roughness and removal rate of the polished surface were improved in Fe(NO₃)₃than KIO₃. The electrochemical results indicate that the corrosion current density of the 5 wt% H₂O₂ and 5 wt% H₂O/sub 2+/+ 5 wt% Fe(NO₃)₃was higher than the other oxidizers. Therefore, we conclude that the W-CMP characteristics are strongly dependent on the kinds of oxidizers and the amounts of oxidizer additive.

  • Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have been prepared by means of the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method using vertical-capacitor electrodes. The deposition rata in our experiment is relatively small compared with that in the conventional PECVD methods, which implies that the accumulation of the neutral $CH_n$ radicals on the substrates due to the gravitational movement may not contribute to the deposition of DLC films. The hardness and the transparency were measured as a function of the ratio of the partial pressure of $CH_4-H_2$ mixtures or the hydrogen contents of specimens. The coefficients of friction between DLC films and a $Si_3N_4$ tip measured by using a lateral force microscope are in the range of 0.024 to 0.033 which depend on the hydrogen contents in DLC, and the surface roughness depends mainly on the deposition rate. The optical gaps increase with increasing the hydrogen contents. DCL films deposited on Pt-coated Si wafers show the stable emission characteristics, and the turn-on fields are in the range of 11 to 20 $V/\mu$m.

  • Multi-layer films of $SiN_x/SiO_x$/InSnO with anti-reflective effect were grown by new-concept plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system (PECVD) with hybrid plasma source (HPS). Anti-reflective effect of $SiN_x/SiO_x$/InSnO was investigated as a function of ratio of $SiN_x$ and $SiO_x$ thickness. Multi-layers deposited by PECVD with HPS represents the enhancement of anti-reflective effect with high transmittance, comparing to the layers by conventional radio frequency (RF) sputtering system. This change is strongly related to the optical and physical properties of each layer, such as refractive index, composition, film density, and surface roughness depending on the deposition system.

  • The Ba1-xSrxTiO3 thin films deposited on ITO-coated glass substrate at 55$0^{\circ}C$ by rf magnetron sputtering method have individual preferential orientations as a function of composition (X=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) due to the stress relief interactions among the intrinsic compressive stress, thermal tensile stress adn extrinsic compressive stress (compressive stress in case of BaTiO3(Tc=12$0^{\circ}C$) and Ba0.75Sr0.25TiO3(Tc=57$^{\circ}C$)). This behavior also appears on the (BaSr)TiO3 thin films (X=0.5) deposited on ITO-coated glass substrate at deposition temperature between 35$0^{\circ}C$ and 55$0^{\circ}C$. The composition of Ba1-xSrxTiO3 thin films deposited on ITO-coated glass substrate at 55$0^{\circ}C$ is close to stoichiometry (1.009~1.089 in A/B ratio), but the compositional deviation from a stoichiometry is larger as SrTiO3 is added. The morphology of Ba1-xSrxTiO3 thin films is very similar for over all substrate temperatures, and the roughness due to the differences of cluster size is the smallest at X=0.25.

  • In this work, the ITO thin films were prepared by FTS (Facing Targets Sputtering) system under different sputtering conditions which were varying $O_2$ gas flow, input current at room temperature. As a function of sputtering conditions, electrical and optical properties of prepared ITO thin films were measured. The electrical, optical characteristics and surface roughness of prepared ITO thin films were measured. In the results, as increasing $O_2$ gas 0.1[sccm] to 0.7[sccm], resistivity of ITO thin film was increased with a decreasing carrier concentration, $O_2$ gas over 0.3[sccm] the carrier mobility have a similarly value. Transmittance of prepared ITO thin films were improved at increasing $O_2$ gas 0.1[sccm] to 0.7[sccm]. And transmittance of all of the prepared ITO thin films was over 80%. We could obtain resistivity $6.19{\times}10^{-4}[{\omega}{\cdot}cm]$, carrier mobility $22.9[cm^2/V{\cdot}sec]$, carrier concentration $4.41{\times}10^{20}[cm^{-3}]$ and transmittance over 80% of ITO thin film prepared at working pressure 1mTorr, input current 0.4A without any substrate heating.
