Two different window-structured $CuInGaSe_2$(CIGS) solar cells, i.e., CIGS/thin-CdS/ZnO:B(sample A) and CIGS/very thin-CdS/Zn(S/O)/ZnO:B(sample B), were prepared, and the diffusivity of Zn, Cd, S, and B atoms, respectively, in the CIGS, ZnO or Zn(S/O) layer was estimated by a theoretical fit to experimental secondary ion mass spectrometer data. Diffusivities of Zn, Cd, S, and B atoms in CIGS were $2.0{\times}10^{-13}(1.5{\times}10^{-13})$, $4.6{\times}10^{-13}(4.4{\times}10^{-13})$, $1.6{\times}10^{-13}(1.8{\times}10^{-13})$, and $1.2{\times}10^{-12}cm^2/s$ at 423K, respectively, where the values in parentheses were obtained from sample B and the others from sample A. The diffusivity of the B atom in a Zn(S/O) of sample B was $2.1{\times}10^{-14}cm^2/sec$. Moreover, the diffusivities of Cd and S atoms diffusing back into ZnO(sample A) or Zn(S/O)(sample A) layers were extremely low at 423K, and the estimated diffusion coefficients were $2.2{\times}10^{-15}cm^2/s$ for Cd and $3.0{\times}10^{-15}cm^2/s$ for S.

In this paper, the microstructure and the dielectric properties of the Sr$_{1-x}$ Ca$_{x}$TiO$_3$(0$\leq$$\chi$$\leq$0.2) -based grain boundary layer ceramics were investigated. The specimens were sintered from 142$0^{\circ}C$ to 152$0^{\circ}C$ for 4hr. in $N_2$ gas. The 2nd phase formed by thermal diffusing from the surface lead to a very high apparent dielectric constant, $\varepsilon$$_{r}$>50000. The structural properties of the specimens were studied by X-ray diffraction and SEM, EDX. All specimens exhibited cubic structure. Increasing content of Ca, the peak intensity were decreased.ed.d.

In this paper, the structural and electrical properties of the $Sr_{1-x}Ca_xTiO_3$($0{\leq}x{\leq}0.2$)-based grain boundary layer ceramics were investigated by X-ray, SEM and V-I system. Increasing content of Ca, the average gram size and the lattice constant were decreased. The relative density of all specimens was > 96%. The 2nd phase formed by thermal diffusing from the surface lead to a very excellent electrical properties, that is, ${\varepsilon}_r$ > 50000, tan${\delta}$ < 0.05, $\Delta$C < ${\pm}$ 10%.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) occurs when abdominal pressure increases, such as sneezing, exercising, and laughing. Surgical and non-surgical treatments are the common methods of SUI treatment; however, the conventional treatments still require continuous and invasive treatment. Laser have been used to treat SUI, but excessive temperature increase often causes thermal burn on urethra tissue. Therefore, the optimal conditions must be considered to minimize the thermal damage for the laser treatment. The current study investigated the feasibility of the laser irradiation condition for SUI treatment using non-ablative 980 nm laser from a safety perspective through numerical simulations. COMSOL Multiphysics was used to analyze the numerical simulation model. The Pennes bioheat equation with the Beer's law was used to confirm spatio-temporal temperature distributions, and Arrhenius equation defined the thermal damage caused by the laser-induced heat. Ex vivo porcine urethral tissue was tested to validate the extent of both temperature distribution and thermal damage. The temperature distribution was symmetrical and uniformly observed in the urethra tissue. A muscle layer had a higher temperature (28.3 ℃) than mucosal (23.4 ℃) and submucosal layers (25.5 ℃). MT staining revealed no heat-induced collagen and muscle damage. Both control and treated groups showed the equivalent thickness and area of the urethral mucosal layer. Therefore, the proposed numerical simulation can predict the appropriate irradiation condition (20 W for 15 s) for the SUI treatment with minimal temperature-induced tissue.

Polystyrene (PS) microspheres were used to good advantage as a template material to prepare macroporous $TiO_2$ thin films. This is enabled to run the thermal decomposition of the PS without the collapsing of the 3-D macroporous framework during the calcination step. $TiO_2$ thin films were deposited onto the colloidal templated substrates at room temperature by RF sputtering, and then samples were thermally treated at $450^{\circ}C$ for 40.min in air to remove the organic colloidal template and induce crystallization of the $TiO_2$ film. The macroporous $TiO_2$ thin film exhibited a quasi-ordered partially hexagonal close-packed structure. Burst holes, estimated to be formed during PS thermal decomposition, are seen as the hemisphere walls. the inner as well as the outer surfaces of the hollow hemispheres formed by the method of thermal decomposition can be easily accessed by the diffusing gas species. As a consequence, the active surface area interacting with the gas species is expected to be enlarged about by a factor of fourth as large as compared to that of a planar films. Also the thickness at neighboring hemisphere could be controlled a few nm thickness. If the acceptor density becomes as large that depletion width reaches those thickness, the device is in the pinch off-situation and a strong resistance change should be observed.

태양전지의 공정중 고온공정을 줄여줌으로서 최종 태양전지의 가격을 저가화할 수가 있다. 이 논문은 점액 상태의 인을 희석시켜서 접촉 홈에 확산공정을 마친 후, 그 기본 특성을 조사하였다. 점액상태점의 희석도와 스핀속도가 산화막의 두께에 영향을 미치는 것이 확인되었다. 희석도가 높을수록 산화막은 두꺼워지고 균일도는 낮아졌다. 희석도 60%의 인이 홈에서의 균일도와 깊이를 고려할 때 가장 적당한 것으로 사료된다.

Heat treatment is a controlled heating and cooling process to improve the physical and/or mechanical properties of metal products without changing their shapes. Today finite element method is widely used to simulate lots of manufacturing processes including heat treatment and surface hardening processes, which aims to reduce the number of time- and cost-consuming experimental tryouts. In this study we tried, using this method, to simulate the full carburizing process that consists of carburizing, diffusing and quenching, and to predict the distribution of carbon contents, phase fraction and hardness, thermal deformation and other mechanical characteristics as the results. In the finite element analysis deformation, heat transfer, phase transformation and diffusion effects are taken into consideration. The carburizing process of a lock gear, a part of the car seat recliner, that is manufactured by the fine blanking process is adopted as the analysis model. The numerical results are discussed and partly compared with experimental data. And a combination of process parameters that is expected to give the highest surface hardness is proposed on the basis of this discussion.

The (Sr$_{1-x}$ .Ca$_{x}$)TiO$_{3}$(0.05.leq.x.leq.0.2) ceramics were fabricated to form semiconducting ceramics by sintering at about 1350[.deg. C] in a reducing atmosphere (N$_{2}$ gas). After being fired in a reducing atmosphere, metal oxides, CuO, was painted on the both surface of the specimens to diffuse to the grain boundary. They were annealed at 1100[.deg. C] for 2 hours. The 2nd phase formed by thermal diffusing from the surface lead to a very high apparent dielectric constant. The results of the capacitance-valtage measurements indicated that the grain boundary was composed of the continuous insulating layers. The capacitance is almost unchanged below about 20[V], but decreased slowly over 20[V]. The conduction mechanism of the specimens observed in the temperature range of 25~125[.deg. C], and is divided into three regions having different mechanism as the current increased: the region I below 200[V/cm] shows the ohmic conduction. The region II between 200[V/cm] and 2000[V/cm] can be explained by the Poole-Frenkel emission theory, and the region III above 2000[V/cm] is dominated by the tunneling effect.ct.

기존의 핵산증폭기를 사용하여 유리 슬라이드상에서의 효과적인 원위치 중합효소 연쇄반응(in situ PCR)을 수행하기 위해서는 여러 가지 조건들을 고려해야 하는데, 이러한 조건에는 PCR 용액의 세포속으로의 침투, 증폭된 PCR산물의 세포외 유출의 방지, PCR용 액 성분의 유리슬라이드로의 비특이적 부착으로 인한 손실, 열에 의한 시약의 증발, heat block으로부터 슬라이드로의 열전도성 둥이 있다. 특히 PCR용액 성분의 세포내로의 침투를 보장하기 위해서는 다소 높은 농도의 PCR 용액성분(특히 4.5 mM $MgCl_{2}$ 농도)이 필요하였고, Taq 효소는 PCR전 처리(pre-PCR incubation)를 수행하는 경우,50 ${\mu}l$ 반응당 5～10 units이면 충분하였다. 또한 PCR의 전형적인 온도-시간 양상(temperature-time profile)을 만족시키기 위해서는 먼저 샘플의 건조화를 방지해야 하는데, 이를 위해서 heat block속의 빈 공간에 적당량의 물을 첨가했고, 설정온도와 실제온도를 측정해본 결과 약3～$4^{\circ}C$의 차이가 있었다.

아시아 몬순지역에서 대형댐의 인순환(phosphorus cycle)과정의 특징을 파악하기 위하여 소양호를 대상으로 인순환 과정을 조사하였다. 또한, 이를 모의하기 위해 2차원 수질모델인 CE-QUAL-W2를 적용하여 수중생태계의 물질순환과정을 모의하였다. 소양호는 수심이 깊고성층이 강하여 수직적인 변이가 뚜렷한 인의 분포를 보였다. 인의 부하량은 유역면적의 90%를 차지하는 주유입하천인 소양강의 인농도를 측정하여 산정하였다. 소양강의 인농도는 강우시 유량 증가에 따라 크게 증가하는 변동을 보였으므로 인의 부하량은 간헐적으로 발생하는 폭우 유출에 집중되었다. 폭우시 유출수는 수온이 낮아지기 때문에 호수의 중층으로 잠류하여 중층 탁수대를 형성하는 것으로 관측되었다. 여름 우기가 끝난 후 중층에는 두께 20${\sim}$30m의 인함량이 높은 탁수층이 형성되었으며 이탁수층은 댐 중간수심에 만들어진 발전방류구를 통하여 서서히 방류되었다. CE-QUAL-W2 모델은 호우시 탁수의 잠류현상과 인함량이 높은 중층의 형성, 인의 수평수직분포 등의 인순환 과정이 잘 모의 하여,아시아 몬순지역의 댐에서 수질모델로서 육수학적 현상을 잘 모의하는 것으로 평가된다.
