  • BSCCO thin films have been fabricated by co-deposition at an ultralow growth rate using ion beam sputtering(IBS) method. The growth rates of the films was set in the region from 0.17 to 0.27 nm/min. MgO(100) was used as a substrate. In order to appreciate stable existing region of Bi 2212 Phase with temperature and ozone pressure, the substrate temperature was varied between 655 and 820$^{\circ}C$ and the highly condensed ozone gas pressure(PO$_3$) in vacuum chamber was varied between 2.0x10$\^$-6/ and 2.3x10$\^$-5/ Torr. Bi 2212 Phase appeared in the temperature range of 750 and 795$^{\circ}C$ and single phase of Bi 2201 existed in the lower region than 785$^{\circ}C$. Whereas, PO$_3$ dependance on structural formation was scarcely observed regardless of the pressure variation. And high quality of c-axis oriented Bi 2212 thin film with T$\sub$c/(onset) of about 70 K and T$\sub$c/(zero) of about 45 K is obtained. Only a small amount of CuO in some films was observed as impurity, and no impurity phase such as CaCuO$_2$ was observed in all of the obtained films.

  • This study aimed to provide a fundamental basis for the development and promotion of a Korea windchill temperature index model in the field of human biometeorology. For this, a sensitivity model currently being used by KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration) was analyzed. The results of the analysis showed that the Korean peninsula could be divided into the urban area, the coastal/island area, the inland area, and the mountain area. The average temperature was highest in the coastal/island area, while it was lowest in the mountain regions. The lowest temperature in the urban and coastal/island areas was 20 degrees below zero and that in the inland and mountain regions were 30 degrees below zero. As for wind speed, both average and maximum wind speed were highest in the coastal/island area. The distribution of temperature and wind speed in winter was similar to that of the entire period. The results of the JAG/Tl and Missenard model sensitivity showed that temperature tends to have more influence on sensitivity than any other factors. In sub-zero temperature, however, the influence of wind speed tends to increase.

  • To acquire the safety along with durability of mechanical machinery products, we should consider the structural mechanics such as stress, deformation and dynamic vibration characteristics and identify those important aspects in the stage of preliminary design engineering. This cryogenic ball valve is used to transfer the liquified natural gas which temperature is $-196^{\circ}C$, supplied pressure is $168kg/cm^2$. For the cryogenic ball valve, the assurance of structural integrity and operability are essential to meet not only normal, abnormal loading conditions but also functionality during a seismic event. In this thesis, analytical approach and results using finite element analysis and computational method are herein presented to evaluate the aspects of structural integrity along with operability of cryogenic ball valve. In this study, we designed the high pressure cryogenic ball valve that accomplishes zero leakage by elastic seal at normal temperature and metal seal at high temperature.

  • Experiments of quenching were made with cylindrical specimens of carbon steel S45C of diameters from 12 to 30mm were performed. The specimens were heated by electric furnace and quenched by immersion method. In order to analyze the temperature profile(cooling curves) of carbon steel including the latent heat of phase transformation, nonlinear heat conduction problem was calculated by the numerical method of inverse heat conduction problem using the apparent heat capacity method. The difference between the calculated and the experimented cooling curves was caused by the latent heat of phase transformation, and the effects of the latent heat were especially manifest at the cooling curves of center of specimens. The temperature and the quantity of the latent heat of phase transformation depend on the cooling speed at A sub(1) transformation point, and the region for cooling speed to become zero was caused by the latent heat of phase transformation.

  • Background: An important consideration for the risk assessment of transgenic plants is their overwintering potential in a natural ecosystem, which allows the survival of the seed bank and may lead to seed reproduction. Here, we investigated the overwintering of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seeds in the laboratory (temperatures: -5, -1, 5, and 10℃) and in the field (burial depth: 0, 5, 15, and 30 cm) as a case study to examine the invasiveness of transgenic crops. Results: Sunflower seeds germinated when incubated at 5℃ and 10℃ for 2, 4, 6, and 12 weeks but not when incubated at -5℃ or -1℃. However, the seeds incubated at -5℃ or -1℃ germinated when they were transferred to the optimal germination temperature (25℃). Up to 16.5% and 15.0% of seeds were dormant when cultured at sub-zero temperatures in a Petri dish containing filter paper and soil, respectively. In the field trial, soil temperature, moisture, and microbial communities differed significantly between soil depths. Germination-related microorganisms were more distributed on the soil surface. Seeds buried on the surface decayed rapidly from 4 weeks after burial, whereas those buried at depths of 15 cm and 30 cm germinated even 16 weeks after burial. No dormancy was detected for seeds buried at any depth. Conclusions: Although sunflower seeds did not overwinter in situ in this study, we cannot exclude the possibility that these seeds lie dormant at sub-zero temperatures and then germinate at optimal temperatures in nature.

  • The sodium-iron phosphate maricite-$NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ was synthesized using the ball mill method. The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the prepared materials were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. Structural refinement of maricite-$NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ was analyzed using the FullProf program. From the XRD patterns, the crystal structure of maricite-$NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ was found to be orthorhombic with the space group Pmnb. The lattice parameters of maricite-$NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ are as follows: $a_0=6.866{\AA}$, $b_0=8.988{\AA}$, $c_0=5.047{\AA}$, and $V=311.544{\AA}^3$. Maricite-$NaFePO_4$ has an edge-sharing structure that consists of $FeO_6$ octahedral. Under an applied field of 100 Oe, the temperature dependences of zero-field-cooled (ZFC) and field-cooled (FC) curves were measured from 4.2 to 295 K. $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectra were also recorded at various temperatures ranging from 4.2 to 295 K. We thus confirmed that the $N{\acute{e}}el$ temperature of $NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ ($T_N=14K$) was lower than that of maricite-$NaFePO_4$ ($T_N=15K$).

  • A novel microwave dielectric composite material for ultra-low temperature co-fired ceramics (ULTCC) with (1-x)BaWO4-xBaV2O6 (x=0.54~0.85) composition was prepared by firing a mixture of BaWO4 and BaV2O6. Shrinkage tests showed that the ceramic composite begins to densify at a temperature as low as 550℃ and can be sintered at 650℃ with 98% of relative density under the influence of BaV2O6. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that BaWO4 and BaV2O6 coexisted and no secondary phase was detected in the sintered bodies, implying good chemical compatibility between the two phases. Near-zero temperature coefficients of the resonant frequency (𝛕f) could be achieved by controlling the relative content of the two phases, due to their positive and negative 𝛕f values, respectively. With increasing BaV2O6 (x from 0.53 to 0.85), the 𝛕f value of the composites increased from -7.54 to 14.49 ppm/℃, εr increased from 10.08 to 11.17 and the quality factor (Q×f value) decreased from 47,661 to 37,131 GHz. The best microwave dielectric properties were obtained for x=0.6 samples with εr=10.4, Q×f=44,090 GHz, and 𝛕f=-2.38 ppm/℃. Chemical compatibility experiments showed the developed composites are compatible with aluminum electrode during co-firing process.

  • The paper investigates electrical discharge properties in neon gas mixed with xenon. The breakdown temperature T$\sub$b/ and voltage V$\sub$b/ are obtained in terms of the gas mixture ratio X. It is shown that the breakdown voltage decreases, reaches the minimum value at X=0.02 and then increases again, as the mixture ratio X increases from zero to unity. Therefore, mixing the neon gas with a few percent of xenon is the most beneficial to reduce the breakdown voltage. Plasma density at breakdown in neon gas mixed with xenon is described in terms of the gas mixture ratio. The optimum value of mixture ratio for highest plasma density is found to be Xm=0.03. A preliminary experiment of AC-PDP is carried out for neon gas mixed with a few percent of xenon to verify some of the theoretical models. The experimental data agree qualitatively well with theoretical predictions.

  • Single-grain (c-normal or c-parallel) and multi-grain YBCO superconductors were prepared by a melt growth process with/without seeding. The magnetic levitation force and trapped magnetic field at liquid N2 temperature (77 K) of the YBCO superconductors were investigated. Samples for the levitation force measurement were zero-field cooled (ZFC) to 77 K, and samples for trapped field measurement were field-cooled (FC) using Nd magnets. As for the magnetic levitation force, the c-normal, single grain sample showed the largest value, whereas the multi-grain sample showed the lowest value. The trapped magnetic field of the c-normal and c-parallel single-grain samples was 4-5 times that of the multi-grain sample. In addition, as the external magnetic field (the number of magnets) increased, the both properties increased proportionally. These results were explained in terms of the orientation dependence of the levitation forces and the magnetic field trapping capability of the YBCO superconductor.

  • This paper describes characteristics of solid-state $NaBH_4$ hydrogen generation and supply system for fuel cell UAV. Flow rate and pressure of the generated hydrogen were dramatically changed during $NaBH_4$ decomposition using acid. Hydrogen supply was stabilized by a self-pressurized reactor, and hydrogen stabilization method was introduced. For hydrogen generation in below zero-temperature, hydrochloric acid was diluted by propylene glycol-water mixtures. Solid-state $NaBH_4$hydrogen generation and supply system was designed. Basic operation experiments was performed to reveal the characteristics of this hydrogen generation system.
