A pellet of polycrystalline $CuGaO_2$ with a delafossite structure was prepared from $Ga_2O_3$ and CuO by high-temperature solid-state synthesis. The $CuGaO_2$ pellet was a p-type semiconductor for which the electrical conductivity, carrier density, carrier mobility and Seebeck coefficient were $5.34{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}^{-1}cm^{-1}$, $3.5{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$, $9.5{\times}10^{-4}cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ at room temperature, and $+360{\mu}V/K$, respectively. It also exhibited two optical transitions at about 2.7 and 3.6 eV. The photoelectrochemical properties of the $CuGaO_2$ pellet electrode were investigated in aqueous electrolyte solutions. The flat-band potential of this electrode, determined using a Mott-Schottky plot, was +0.18 V vs SCE at pH 4.8 and followed the Nernst equation with respect to pH. Under UV light illumination, a cathodic photocurrent developed, and molecular hydrogen simultaneously evolved on the surface of the electrode due to the direct reduction of water without deposition of any metal catalyst.

To measure the mass distribution of galaxy systems weak-lensing analysis has been widely used because it directly measures the total mass of a system regardless of its baryon content and dynamical state. However, the weak-lensing only provides a map of projected surface mass density. On the other hand, galaxy redshift surveys provide a map of the three-dimensional galaxy distribution. It thus can resolve the structures along the line of sight projected in the weak-lensing map. Therefore, the comparison of structures identified in the weak-lensing maps and in the redshift surveys is an important test of the issues limiting applications of weak-lensing to the identification of galaxy clusters. Geller et al. (2010) and Kurtz et al. (2012) compared massive clusters identified in a dense redshift survey with significant weak-lensing map convergence peaks. Both assessments of the efficiency of weak-lensing map for cluster identification did not draw a general conclusion, because the sample is so small. Thus, we additionally perform deep imaging observations of fields in a dense galaxy redshift survey that contain galaxy clusters at z~0.2-0.5, using CFHT Megacam.

High quality monocrystalline $\beta$-SiC thin films were grown via two-step process of conversion of the Si(100) surface by reaction with $C_2H_4$ and the subsequent chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at $1360^{\circ}C$ and 1 atm total pressure. Four dopants, B and Al and p-type, and N and P for n-type, were also incorporated into monocrystalline $\beta$-SiC thin films during the CVD growth process. IR and Raman spectroscopies were used to evaluate the quality of the undoped $\beta$-SiC thin films and to investigate the effects of dopants on the structure of the doped $\beta$-SiC thin films. The changes in the shape of IR and Raman spectra of the doped thin films due to dopants were observed. But the XTEM micrographs except for the B-doped and annealed films showed the same density and distribution of stacking faults and dislocations as was seen in the undoped samples, The IR and Raman spectra of the B-doped and annealed films showed the broad and weak bands and one extra peak at the 850 $cm^{-1}$ respectively. The SAD pattern and XTEM micrograph of the B-doped and annealed film provided the evidence for twinning.

This study was performed to investigate the influence of curing temperature on the properties of light weight foamed concrete, manufactured on-site construction according to the various experimental factor such as temperature of material, curing temperature in air(5, 10, 20℃), curing time in air(5, 10, 15hour), and target density of hardened state(0.8, 1.2t/㎥). As a result, the influence of the curing temperature on various properties of foamed concrete is greater than curing time. When increasing temperature and time in air curing, progress of hydration is fast and compressive strength is increasing more and more. However, when considering the productivity, minimum curing time is required 15hours at 5℃, 10hours at 10℃, and 5hours at 20℃. If this condition is not required, there is some crack due to volume expansion on the surface of light weight foamed concrete.

A Bi$_4$Ti$_3$O$_{12}$ (BIT) thin film is prepared by sol-gel method using acetate precursors and evaluated whether it could be applied to NVFRAM. The drying and the annealing temperature are 40$0^{\circ}C$ and $650^{\circ}C$, respectively and they are determined from the DT-TG analysis. The BIT thin film deposited on Pt/Ta/SiO$_2$/Si substrate shows orthorhombic perovskite phase. The grain size and the surface roughness are about 100 nm and 70.2$\AA$, respectively. The dielectric constant and the loss tangent at 10 KHz are 176 and 0.038, respectively, and the leakage current density at 100㎸/cm is 4.71$mutextrm{A}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$. In the results of hysteresis loops measured at $\pm$250㎸/cm, the remanent polarization (Pr) and the coercive field (Ec) are 5.92$mutextrm{A}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 86.3㎸/cm, respectively. After applying 10$^{9}$ square pulses of $\pm$5V, the remanent polarization of the BIT thin film decreases as much as about 33% from 5.92 $\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ of initial state to 3.95 $\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

A pseudogap in the normal-state quasiparticle density of states of $high-T_c$ superconductors has been revealed in many different kinds of experiments. The existence of the pseudogap and the superconducting gap, and the correlation between them has attracted considerable attention because they are believed to be a key to understanding the mechanism of the $high-T_c$ superconductivity. The interlayer tunneling spectroscopy, excluding the surface-dependent effect, is one of the most accurate means to examine the electron spectral characteristics both in the superconducting and the normal states. In this study, a new constant-temperature intrinsic tunneling spectroscopic technique, excluding the overheating effect using the in-situ temperature monitoring combined with the digital proportional-integral-derivative control, is introduced. The implication on the $high-T_c$ superconductivity of the detailed temperature dependencies of the observed spectral weight in $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8+x}\;high-T_c$ material for overdoped and underdoped levels is discussed.

Nitroxide films were made from the $NH_3$ gas nitridation of as-grown $SiO_2$. The electrical characterization results including C-V characteristics and BT stress generally indicate that the high field stress instability and insulator-substrate interfacial characteristics are improved by nitridation of $SiO_2$. A C-V technique was used to determine the surface state density $N_{55}$ and then $N_{55}$ in the nitroxide-substrate interface was $8{\times}10(/eVcm^2$). This $N_{55}$ is related with 1/f noise was revealed experimentally and relationship was plotted and 1/f noise characteristics were also improved by nitridation of of $SiO_2$By the results of measurements on these films show that very thin thermal silicon nitroxide films can be used as gate dielectrics for future highly scaled-down VLSI device.

The SOI structure with buried alumina was fabricated by ALD followed by bonding and etchback process. The interface of alumina and silicon was analyzed by CV measurements and cross section was investigated by SEM analysis. The density of interface state of alumina and silicon was 2.5E11/$cm^{2}$-eV after high temperature annealing for wafer bonding. It was confirmed that the surface silicon layer was completely isolated from substrate by cross section SEM and AES depth profile. The device on this alumina SOI structure would have better thermal properties than that on conventional SOI due to higher thermal conductivity of alumina than that of silicon dioxide.

Because of new requirements related to the employment of SMT(Surface Mounting Technology) manufacturing and the diversity of components on high density PCB(Printed Circuit Boards), Thermal control of the reflow process is required in order to achieve acceptable yields and reliability of SMT assemblies. Accurate control of the temperature distribution during the reflow process is one of the major requirements, especially in lead-free assembly. This study has been performed for reflow process using the commercial CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) tool for predicting flow and temperature distributions. Porous plate was installed to prevent leakage flow which was one of the major problem of temperature uniformity in the reflow process. There is a separation region where the flow is turned. Outside wall made of porous plate is to prevent and minimize separation region for acquiring uniform temperature during operation. This paper provided design concept from CFD results of the steady state temperature distribution and flow field inside a reflow oven.

In this study, new evaluation method for the stability and corrosion resistance properties of passive films has been suggested by means of observation of self-activation process in open-circuit state and galvanostatic nanoscale reduction test. The experiments were performed for air-formed oxide film in case of plain carbon steel, and for anodically passivated films formed in aqueous sulfuric acid solutions in case of titanium and 304 stainless steel. From these experimental results, we derived two parameters, $i_{0}$ and $q_{0}$, which characterize the self-activation process and the properties of passive film on a stainless steel surface. The parameter $i_{0}$ was defined as the rate of self-activation, and $q_{0}$, the reduced amount of charge during the self-activation process. In conclusion, it is considered that the stability and corrosion resistance of passive metals and alloys can be evaluated quantitatively by three parameters of $\tau_{0}$, $q_{0}$, and $i_{0}$, which easily obtain by means of observing the self-activation process and galvanostatic nanoscale reduction test.
