[ $Pb(Zr_{0.2}Ti_{0.8})O_3/SrRuO_3$ ] heteroepitaxial thin films were deposited at various temperatures on single crystal $SrTiO_3$ substrates by pulsed laser deposition and characterized for the microstructural and ferroelectric properties. The $SrTiO_3$ substartes etched by buffered oxide etch $(pH{\thickapprox}5.8)$ solution for 20s followed by the thermal annealing at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 1h showed the terrace ledges with a 0.4nm height. The $SrRuO_3$ bottom electrodes with a thickness of 52nm grown on $SrTiO_3$ single crystal also exhibit a terrace ledge similar to that of $SrTiO_3$. The PZT thin films were grown with an epitaxial relationship and showed typical P-E hysteresis loops shown at the epitaxial films. The 56nm thick-PZT films deposited at $650^{\circ}C$ exhibit a remanent polarization $(p_r)$ of $80{\mu}C/cm^2$ and a coercive field $(E_c)$ of 160kV/cm.

The sing1e crystal of cadmium sulfide was grown by vertical sublimation method. The lattice constants of CdS single crystal by extrapolation method are $a_0=4.139\AA$ and $c_0=6.719\AA$, respectively. The $Cu_2$S/CdS solar cell was fabricated using the single crystal of cadmium sulfide and the CuCl solution. The light- to- dark JV cross over effect of the $Cu_2$S/CdS solar cell was measured after annealing for 2 minutes at $250^{\circ}C$ in air atmosphere. The values of Voc, Jsc, Vop, FF, and efficiency are 0.40 volt, $4.2mA/\textrm{cm}^2$, 0.31 volt, $3.8mA/\textrm{cm}^2$, 0.68 and 3.8 %, respectively. The spectral response of the solar cell shows the peaks at 498 nm (2.49 eV) and 585 nm (2.12 eV).

This study investigated the effects of adding a third alloying element, Ni, to create $Fe_{70-x}Pd_{30}Ni_x$ (x = 2, 4, 6, 8 at.% Ni) ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs). The Ni replaced a portion of the Fe. The $Fe_{70-x}Pd_{30}Ni_x$ alloys were homogenized through hot and cold forging to gain a ~38% reduction in thickness, next they were solution-treated (ST) with annealing recrystallization at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 8 h and quenched in ice brine, and then aged at $500^{\circ}C$ for 100 h. Investigation of the microstructures and magnetostriction indicated that the greater Ni amount in the $Fe_{70-x}Pd_{30}Ni_x$ alloys reduced saturation magnetostriction at room temperature (RT). It was also observed that it was more difficult to generate annealed recrystallization. However, with greater Ni addition into the $Fe_{70-x}Pd_{30}Ni_x$ (x = 6, 8 at.% Ni) alloys, the $L1_0+L1_m$ twin phase decomposition into stoichiometric $L1_0+L1_m+{\alpha}_{bct}$ structures was suppressed after the $500^{\circ}C$/100 h aging treatment. The result was that the $Fe_{70-x}Pd_{30}Ni_x$ (x = 6, 8 at.% Ni) alloys maintained a high magnetostriction and magnetostrictive susceptibility (${\Delta}{\lambda}{_\parallel}{^s}/{\Delta}H$) after the alloys were aged at $500^{\circ}C$ for 100 h. This magnetic property of the $Fe_{70-x}Pd_{30}Ni_x$ (x = 6, 8 at.% Ni) alloys make it suitable for application in a high temperature (T > $500^{\circ}C$) and high frequency environments.

In this study, Ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (VF2-TrFE) copolymer films were directly deposited on degenerated Si (n+, $0.002\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$) using by spin coating method. A 1~5 wt% diluted solution of purified vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (VF2:TrFE = 70:30) in a dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent were prepared and deposited on silicon wafers at a spin rate of 2000 ~ 4000 rpm for 2 ~ 30 seconds. After annealing in a vacuum ambient at 100 ~ $200^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, upper aluminum electrodes were deposited by vacuum evaporation for electrical measurement. X-ray diffraction results showed that the VF2-TrFE films on Si substrates had $\beta$-phase of copolymer structures. The capacitance on highly doped Si wafer showed hysteresis behavior like a butterfly shape and this result indicates clearly that the copolymer films have ferroelectric properties. The typical measured remnant polarization ($P_r$) and coercive filed ($E_c$) values were about $5.7\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 710 kV/em, respectively, in an applied electric field of ${\pm}$ 1.5 MV/em. The gate leakage current densities measured at room temperature was less than $7{\times}10^{-7}\; A/cm^2$ under a field of 1 MV/cm.

The aim of stereotactic radiosurgery(SRS) is to deliver a high dose to a target region and a low dose to critical organ through only one or a few irradiation. To satisfy this aim, optimized irradiating conditions must be searched in the planning. Thus, many mathematical methods such as gradient method, simulated annealing and genetic algorithm had been proposed to find out the conditions automatically. There were some limitations using these methods: the long calculation time, and the difficulty of unique solution due to the different shape of tumor. In this study, optimization protocol using ideal models and data base was proposed. Proposed optimization protocol constitutes two steps. First step was a preliminary work. Some possible ideal geometry shapes, such as sphere, cylinder, cone shape or the combination, were assumed to approximate the real tumor shapes. Optimum variables such as isocenter position or collimator size, were determined so that the high dose region could be shaped to fit ideal models with the arrangement of multiple isocenter. Data base were formed with those results. Second, any shaped real targets were approximated to these models using geometry comparison. Then, optimum variables for ideal geometry were chosen from the data base predetermined, and final parameters were obtained by adjusting these data. Although the results of applying the data base to patients were not superior to the result of optimization in each case, it can be acceptable as a starting point of plan.

Copolyeters consisted of p-oxybenzoly, naphthalene isomer and dimethyldisiloxyl group in different comonomer sequences were synthesized by solution polycondensation and characterized. The naphthalene isomers used in this study were of the 1,4 1,5, 2,6 and 2,7 naphthylene units. The inherent viscosities of the polymers were between 0.27~0.42dl/g and all of the polymers, with the exception of the 2,7-ordered copolyester, showed enantiotropic nematic behavior. Annealing the copolyesters resulted in increasing molecular weights and degree of crystallinity of crystallizable compositions. Ordered copolyesters exhibit significant differences in thermal transitions, thermal stability, crystalline properties and liquid crystallinity when compared with the properties of the corresponding radom copolyesters.

The reduced graphene oxide(rGO)/aluminum phosphate($AlPO_4$)-coated $LiMn_{1.5}Ni_{0.5}O_4$ (LMNO) cathode material has been developed by hydroxide precursor method for LMNO and by a facile solution based process for the coating with GO/$AlPO_4$ on the surface of LMNO, followed by annealing process. The amount of $AlPO_4$ has been varied from 0.5 wt % to 1.0 wt %, while the amount of rGO is maintained at 1.0 wt %. The samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The rGO/$AlPO_4$-coated LMNO electrodes exhibit better cyclic performance compared to that of pristine LMNO electrode. Specifically, rGO(1%)/$AlPO_4$(0.5%)- and rGO(1%)/$AlPO_4$(1%)-coated electrodes deliver a discharge capacity of, respectively, $123mAhg^{-1}$ and $122mAhg^{-1}$ at C/6 rate, with a capacity retention of, respectively, 96% and 98% at 100 cycles. Furthermore, the surface-modified LMNO electrodes demonstrate higher-rate capability. The rGO(1%)/$AlPO_4$(0.5%)-coated LMNO electrode shows the highest rate performance demonstrating a capacity retention of 91% at 10 C rate. The enhanced electrochemical performance can be attributed to (1) the suppression of the direct contact of electrode surface with the electrolyte, resulting in side reactions with the electrolyte due to the high cut-off voltage, and (2) smaller surface resistance and charge transfer resistance, which is confirmed by total polarization resistance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

A thin and porous non-flammable wiper was prepared by phosphorus acid solution treatment and subsequent oven annealing. The H₃PO₃ treatment improved flame retardancy of wiper paper to nonflammable level. Thermogravimetric analyses showed that residues increased to 50% at 700℃, which means this treatment helps dehydration of the cellulose chain and promotes the formation of char-like structures during the burning. FT-IR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that some of the added H₃PO₃ could react with the functional groups of the cellulose chain. The reacted H₃PO₃ components promote dehydration of the cellulose components and the formation of a char-like structure and improve the flame retardancy of the wiper paper.

[ $HfO_xN_y$ ] films using a hafnium tertiary-butoxide $(Hf[OC(CH_3)_3]_4)$ in plasma and $N_2$ ambient were prepared to improve the thermal stability of hafnium-based gate dielectrics. A 10% nitrogen incorporation into $HfO_2$ films showed a smooth surface morphology and a crystallization temperature as high as $200^{\circ}C$ compared with pure $HfO_2$ films. The $TaN/HfO_xN_y/Si$ capacitors showed a stable capacitance-voltage characteristics even at post-metal annealing temperature of $1000^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$ ambient and a constant value of 1.6 nm EOT (equivalent oxide thickness) irrespective of an increase of PDA and PMA temperature. Leakage current densities of $HfO_xN_y$ capacitors annealed at PDA temperature of 800 and $900^{\circ}C$, respectively were approximately one order of magnitude lower than that of $HfO_2$ capacitors.
