Highly efficient hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) thin-film solar cells were prepared on flexible stainless steel substrates using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. To enhance the performance of solar cells, material properties of back reflectors, n-doped seed layers and wide bandgap nc-SiC:H window layers were optimized. The light scattering efficiency of Ag back reflectors was improved by increasing the surface roughness of the films deposited at elevated substrate temperatures. Using the n-doped seed layers with high crystallinity, the initial crystal growth of intrinsic nc-Si:H absorber layers was improved, resulting in the elimination of the defect-dense amorphous regions at the n/i interfaces. The nc-SiC:H window layers with high bandgap over 2.2 eV were deposited under high hydrogen dilution conditions. The vertical current flow of the films was enhanced by the formation of Si nanocrystallites in the amorphous SiC:H matrix. Under optimized conditions, a high conversion efficiency of 9.13% ($V_{oc}=0.52$, $J_{sc}=25.45mA/cm^2$, FF = 0.69) was achieved for the flexible nc-Si:H thin-film solar cells.

스테인레스 스틸에 대한 합성된 폴리우레탄-에폭시 수지의 기계적 특성은 SEM, FT-IR, 인장특성, 그리고 EIS에 의한 특정질량손실량, 입도분석 등에 의해 물성을 측정하였다. 친환경적인 NATM 도료에 관한 관심이 고조됨에 따라 스테인레스 등의 금속에 코팅하는 무용제 도료를 합성하였다. 폴리올, IPDI, 충진제, 실리콘 계면활성제, 촉매 등이 함유된 기존 중방식수지보다 폴리올, MDI, 충진제, 실리콘 계면활성제, 촉매가 함유되어 합성된 중방식수지의 도료가 온도변화에 따른 인장강도가 증가하였고, 전해성이 높은 용액 속에서 저헝력이 크게 측정되었으며, 내구력과 강도가 양호하였다. 견고한 NATM 수지의 기계적 특성은 가교와 부식환경의 차단력이 증가함에 따라 강도가 증가하였다. 결론적으로 중방식의 가교된 미세조직은 방청코팅이 어려운 스테인레스 스틸 같은 금속물질 코팅에도 좋은 실험결과를 보여주었다.

In this study, the influence of impurity element Ca, P on solidification behavior and morphology of eutectic silicon was examined by observation of microstructure and by DSC analysis. In the case of 1.3 ppm P, eutectic Si was fine and fibrous when the added amount of Ca was 500 ppm, However, the modification of eutectic Si was depressed by formation of polygonal Ca-Si compounds when the addition amount of Ca was greater than 1000 ppm. The addition of Ca 500 ppm depressed the primary and eutectic temperature. The primary and eutectic temperature were depressed with Ca 500 ppm but rather ascended when the addition amount of Ca was more than 1000 ppm. When the content of P was 17.5 ppm, eutectic Si had modified morphology with Ca addition. DAS was increased, the primary temperature was ascended and eutectic temperature was depressed with Ca added. Eutectic Si appeared as coarse flake phase and DAS was decreased with the increase of P content. The existence of P in the melt depressed the primary temperature and ascended eutectic temperature.

본 실험에서는 tripod polishing 방법을 이용하여 Pd/GaN/Sapphire 박막, PZT/MgO/Si 박막, 304 stainless steel 분말, $Mo_5Si_3/Mo_2B$ diffusion couple의 매우 다양한 물성이 포함된 불균질 재료의 TEM 시편을 제작하고 분석하였다. Tripod polishing을 사용하여 시편을 준비하면 시편의 종류에 관계없이 시편의 선단부에 매우 광범위한 전자빔 투과 영역을 지닌 TEM 시편을 얻을 수 있었으며, Pd/GaN/Sapphire 박막, PZT/MgO/Si 박막과 같이 기판이 경한 반도체 재료의 경우에는 연마 정도가 균일하며 연마과정 동안 오염이 심하지 않기 때문에 ion milling으로 cleaning 없이 TEM 관찰이 가능하다. 한편 304 stainless steel 분말과 같은 금속재료의 경우 짧은 시간의 ion milling 은 시편의 오염 제거에 도움된다. $Mo_5Si_3/Mo_2B$ diffusion couple에 형성된 실리사이드는 큰 취성 때문에 polishing 동안 시편이 깨지는 현상으로 전자가 투과할 수 있을 정도의 연마가 불가능하여 1시간 정도 ion milling 연마가 필요하다. Tripod polishing으로 TEM 시편을 준비하면 분석하고자 하는 지역을 정확하고도 넓게 연마할 수 있다. 또한 비교적 짧은 시간 내에 ion milling 없이 TEM 시편을 제작할 수 있기 때문에 ion milling에서 유발되는 여러 가지 문제점들을 해결할 수 있는 장점이 있었다. 그러나 tripod polishing은 전부 수작업으로 시편을 준비하기 때문에 시편을 제작하는 과정 동안 매우 세심한 주의가 요구되며 제작자의 숙련도와 경험을 필요로 하는 단점이 있다.

Friction and wear properties of the Boron carbide ($B_{4}C$) coating 100 nm thickness were studied under various relative humidity (RH). The boron carbide film was deposited on silicon substrate by DC magnetron sputtering method using $B_{4}C$ target with a mixture of Ar and methane ($CH_4$) as precursor gas. Friction tests were performed using a reciprocation type friction tester at ambient environment. Steel balls of 3 mm in diameter were used as counter-specimen. The results indicated that relative humidity strongly affected the tribological properties of boron carbide coating. Friction coefficient decreased from 0.42 to 0.09 as the relative humidity increased from $5\%$ to $85\%$. Confocal microscopy was used to observe worn surfaces of the coating and wear scars on steel balls after the tests. It showed that both the coating surface and the ball were significantly worn-out even though boron carbide is much harder than the steel. Moreover, at low humidity ($5\%$) the boron carbide showed poor wear resistance which resulted in the complete removal of coating layer, whereas at the medium and high humidity conditions, it was not. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) analyses were performed to characterize the chemical composition of the worn surfaces. We suggest that tribochemical reactions occurred during sliding in moisture air to form boric acid on the worn surface of the coating. The boric acid and the tribochemcal layer that formed on steel ball resulted in low friction and wear of boron carbide coating.

본 연구에서는 자기장 차폐를 위하여 3상 전력 케이블을 얇은 자성 판재로 둘러싸는 방법을 제안한다. 두꺼운 상용 뮤-메탈, 방향성 및 무방향성 규소 강판을 출발 재료로 하여 두께 0.1 mm의 차폐재 3종류를 제조하였다. 3상 전류일 때, 차폐재 위치의 자기장이 100 ${\mu}T$ 정도이면 뮤-메탈이 (SF<0.1) 가장 효과적이었고, 500 ${\mu}T$ 이상 이면 규소 강판이 (SF 0.3${\sim}$0.4) 더 효과적이었다. 또한, 안쪽에 방향성 규소 강판, 바깥쪽에 뮤-메탈을 함께 둘러쌀 경우 500 ${\mu}T$까지도 SF 를 0.1 이하로 할 수 있었다. 한편, 단상 전류에서는 고 투자율 소재의 적용은 오히려 자기장을 증가시키는 결과를 보였다. 이상의 결과는 자기장 강도 H의 크기에 따라 각 소재의 투자율 우열이 서로 다른 점과 이로 인해 차폐재 내에 유도되는 자기장 벡터와 원래의 자기장 벡터의 상호 상쇄 및 중첩 작용으로 설명할 수 있었다.

지하수에 의하여 터널 내로 유입된 수산화칼슘($Ca(OH)_{2}$)이 이산화탄소($CO_{2}$)와 차량의 배기가스($SO_{3}$) 등과 반응하여 그 반응물이 터널의 배수공 내에 침전되어 배수공 클로깅 현상이 발생하였다. 대부분의 반응물은 화학분석 결과 칼사이트의 탄산칼슘 ($CaCO_{3}$)인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 터널의 배수공으로 사용되는 PVC관과 새로운 재질의 배수공인 테프론 코팅강관, 실리콘오일 코팅관, 아크릴관에 CaO 수용액과 터널 배수공 유출수를 흘려보내어 스케일 부착형태를 분석함으로써 배수공의 재질이 스케일 부착에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 그 결과 PVC관에서 가장 많은 양의 스케일이 생성되었고 아크릴관, 실리콘오일 코팅관, 테프론 코팅강관의 순으로 관 표면에 스케일이 적게 부착되었다. 그러나 장기적 시험결과 테프론 코팅강관의 경우 관표면이 터널 유출수에 포함되어 있는 토사로 인하여 손상되어 코팅재의 탈락, 강관의 부식 등이 발생하여 내구성에 문제가 있었다.

The wear properties of two types of $Si_3N_4$(silicon nitride) exposed to high and low humidity were examined experimentally for various sliding speed. Bearing steel was used as the disk material at pin-on-disk type sliding. Wear rates of pressureless sintered-plus-hot-isostatic pressed Si3N4 were slightly lower than those of pressureless sintered $Si_3N_4$. It was observed that adsorbed moisture and sliding speed markedly influenced the wear properties of $Si_3N_4$. The highest wear rate was obtained under the high humidity and low sliding speed condition. As the sliding speed was increased, wear rates were decreased and the humidity effect on the wear rates of $Si_3N_4$ was lowered. The result that the $Si_3N_4$ pin showed a high wear rate under the high humidity condition was explained by the property change due to the adsorbed moisture, plowing action by the hard particles of $Fe_2O_3$ from the disk, and the corrosion effect at $Si_3N_4$ surface. Increase in sliding speed was supposed to have reduced the humidity effect on wear rate of $Si_3N_4$ by raising the temperature of both the bearing steel disk and $Si_3N_4$ pin specimen.

Advancements in silicon phase control (SCR) technologies provide an arc welding power supply that has the capability to allow the alteration of the Alternating Current (AC) welding output. These technologies provide a square wave output involving sixteen frequency selections and multiple balance selections. While an AC out put is known to minimize magnetic disturbances associate with Direct Current (DC), the potentials of a non-sinusoidal waveform have not been explored. The focus of the paper is to determine the effects that the frequency and balance of an AC wave form output will have upon a high speed Submerge Arc (SAW) application. The test matrix of the project includes welding .250" steel plate. Joint type is square groove with a travel speed of 65 IPM. Each of the weld parameters was held constant, only the frequency and/or balance were altered between welds. Each frequency/balance combination involved three-gap spacing. Upon completion of the welds the bead profiles were measured and recorded. A relationships/trends were observed with various frequency and balance values. Optimum frequency and balance values were found for the .250" square groove application which permit consistent weld sizing, ease of slag removal, and minimal plate distortion.

Asymmetric rolling, in which the circumferential velocities of the upper and lower rolls are different, can give rise to intense plastic shear strains and in turn shear deformation textures through the sheet thickness. The ideal shear deformation texture of fcc metals can be approximated by the <111> // ND and $\{001\}<110>$ orientations, among which the former improves the deep drawability. The ideal shear deformation texture for bcc metals can be approximated by the Goss $\{110\}<001>\;and\;\{112\}<111>$ orientations, among which the former improves the magnetic permeability along the <100> directions and is the prime orientation in grain oriented silicon steels. The intense shear strains can result in the grain refinement and hence improve mechanical properties. Steel sheets, especially ferritic stainless steel sheets, and aluminum alloy sheets may exhibit an undesirable surface roughening known as ridging or roping, when elongated along RD and TD, respectively. The ridging or roping is caused by differently oriented colonies, which are resulted from the <100> oriented columnar structure in ingots or billets, especially for ferritic stainless steels, that is not easily destroyed by the conventional rolling. The breakdown of columnar structure and the grain refinement can be achieved by asymmetric rolling, resulting in a decrease in the ridging problem.
