An integrated optical 2$\times$2 add/drop multiplexer in X-cut, Y-propagating LiNbO$_3$ has been demonstrated. The device consists of passive polarization splitters and acousto-optical mode converters with weighted coupling utilizing tapered acoustical directional couplers; their specific design and properties are discussed. The insertion loss has been measured to be about -8.16 ㏈ and -8.6 ㏈ for TE and TM polarizations, respectively. The device shows a 3 ㏈ bandwidth of 2.3 nm, a tuning rate 8.34 nm/MHz around λ = 1554 nm, and a sidelobe suppression of about 14.5 ㏈. Optimum operation is achieved with a RF drive power of about 43 ㎽. Multi-wavelength operation has been demonstrated.

This study evaluated the ability of Diffusion-Weight Image (DWI), which is one of pulse sequences used in MRI based on the T2 weighted images, to detect samples placed within phantoms according to their size. Two identically sized phantoms, which could be inserted into the breast coil bilaterally, were prepared. Five samples with different sizes were placed in the phantoms, and the T2 weighted images and DWI were obtained. The Breast 2 channel coil of SIEMENS MAGNETOM Avanto 1.5 Tesla equipment was used for the experiments. 2D T2 weighted images were obtained using the following parameters: TR/TE = 6700/74 msec, Thickness/gap = 5/1 mm, Inversion Time (TI) = 130 ms, and matrix = $224{\times}448$. The parameters of DWI were that TR/TE = 8100/90 msec, Thickness/gap = 5/1 mm, matrix = $128{\times}128$, Inversion Time = 185 ms, and b-value = 0, 100, 300, 600, 1000 s/mm. The ratio of the sample volume on DWI compared to the T2 weighted images, which show excellent ability to detect lesions on MR images, was presented as the mean b-value. The measured b-value of the samples was obtained: 0.5${\times}$0.5 cm=0.33/0.34 square ${\times}$ cm (103%), 1${\times}$1 cm=1.28/1.25 square ${\times}$ cm (102.4%), 1.5${\times}$1.5 cm = 2.28/2.67 square ${\times}$ cm (85.39%), 2${\times}$2 cm=3.56/4.08 square ${\times}$ cm (87.25%), and 2.5${\times}$2.5 cm=7.53/8.77 square ${\times}$ cm (85.86%). In conclusion, the detection ability by the size of a sample was measured to be over 85% compared to T2 weighted image, but the detection ability of DWI was relatively lower than that of T2 weighted image.

Geochemical investigations on suspended amorphous iron oxide material from the Kwangyang gold mine and its surrounding area, Cheonnam, Korea have been carried out. The sediments samples were collected from 11 location along Kwangyang mine area and were air dried and sieved to -80 mesh. These samples consist mainly of iron, silicon and alumina. The Fe$_2$O$_3$ contents ranges from 17.9 wt.% to 72.3 wt.%. The content of Fe$_2$O$_3$ increase with decreasing Si, Al, Mg, Na, K, Mn, and Ti, whereas the contents of Te, Au, Ga, Bi, Cd, Hg, Sb, and Se increase in the amorphous stream sediments. Amorphous stream sediments have been severely enriched for As (up to 54.9 ppm), Bi (up to 3.77 ppm), Cd (up to 3.65 ppm), Hg (up to 64 ppm), Sb (up to 10.1 ppm), Cu (up to 37.1 ppm), Mo (up to 8.86 ppm), Pb (up to 9.45 ppm) and Zn (up to 29.7 ppm). At the upstream site, the Au content (up to 4.4 ppm) in the amorphous stream sediments are relatively high but those contents decrease with distance of mine location. The content of Ag (up to 0.24 ppm) were low in upstream site but those contents increase significantly in the downstream sites. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples have virtually no sharp and discrete peaks, indicating that some samples are amorphous or poorly-ordered. The quartz, goethite, kaolinite and illite were associated in amorphous stream sediments. The infrared spectra for amorphous stream sediments show major absorption bands due to OH stretching, adsorbed molecular water, sulfate and Fe-O stretching, respectively.

We have demonstrated a -8 dB additional reduction in the intensity sidelobe of an apodized-interaction-strength guide-wave acousto-optic filter with a center passband of 1551.6 nm. Acoustic-intensity weighting was achieved by launching a surface acoustic wave (SAW) beam in a straight acoustic waveguide, and gradually transferring this SAW intensity to the active device, and back out, by evanescent-wave coupling across a 50 !lm barrier over a 19 rom interaction length. The intensity sidelobe was -4.27 dB for an unapodized filter with abmpt onset and cutoff of the interaction, but sidelobes were reduced to at most -12.68 dB for a SAW intensity with raised-cosine weighting. The RF driving power was 17.78 mW. A linear tuning rate of 8.86 nmIMHz and a spectral width of -1.7 nm were demonstrated. rated.

실리콘 태양전지와 박막형 태양전지의 뒤를 이어, 제3세대로 분류되는 양자점 감응형 태양전지(QDSC)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이 태양전지의 TCO로는 주로 ZnO, TiO2가 대부분 사용되고 있으며, 양자점 물질로는 CdS, CdSe, CdTe, PbS, PbSe 등의 카드뮴 및 납을 주 성분으로 하는 물질들에 대한 연구만 중점적으로 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 이런 물질들은 현재까지 알려진 한도 내에서는 QDSC 효율 중 가장 좋은 효율을 나타내고는 있으나 이런 타입의 QDSC가 상용화된다면 환경에 노출되었을 때에 미치는 악영향이 매우 큰 중금속 물질들로 이루어져 있어, 이를 극복할 수 있는 친환경 성분의 물질에 대한 연구 또한 필요한 시점이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 CdS를 대체할 수 있는 물질로 Ag2S를 선정, 이에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. Ag2S는 밴드갭이 1.1eV의 물질로, CdS의 2.3 eV와 비교해 상당히 작은 밴드갭을 가져 월등히 넓은 영역에서 빛을 흡수할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있으며, 동시에 이로 인한 전자-정공 재결합이 빨라 태양전지로 제작시에 Voc가 낮게 형성된다는 단점도 가지고 있다. 태양전지에 사용된 TCO물질은 ZnO 나노선을 사용했으며, 본 연구실에서 기존에 개발한 수열합성법을 통해 제작하였다. 이를 활용하여 최종적으로 제작한 태양전지의 효율은 CdS/ZnO QDSC가 1.2%, Ag2S/ZnO QDSC가 1.2%로 동일한 성능을 나타냈으며, CdS를 대체할 물질로 Ag2S의 가능성을 보여준 결과라 할 수 있다.

We have measured the optical properties, thickness, and energy band gap of the P $b_{1-x}$/100/L $a_{x}$100/ $Ti_{1-}$0.25x/100/ $O_{3}$ (PLT(x)) thin film prepared by the sol-gel method with varying the La concentration, x, fyom 15 nto 33 mol%. We have obtained the values from the tranmission spectrum and employed the envelope method in anayzing the spectrum. We have also performed the simulation of the transmission spectrum on the PC (personal computer) to verify the accuracy of the values 15 to 33mol%, the refractive index (at .lambda.=632.8nm) increases from 2.39 to 2.44. The extinction coefficient does not depend on the la concentration but mainly on te wavelength, and has the values between 0.2 and 0.5 at the wavelength shorter than 330nm and between 0.001 and 0.008 at the wavelength longer than 700nm. The energy band gap of the PLT (x) thin film has been obtained on the assumption of the direct band-to-band transition. It decreases from 3.28 to 3.17eV as the La concentration increases from 15 to 33 mol%. The thickness of the PLT(x) thin film has been also obtained in high accuracy by the envelope method..

This work reported the radiation shielding characteristic of the bismuth titanium vanadium sodium tellurite glass system. The density of the specially-developed glass samples was increased from 2.21 to 4.01 g/cm³ with the addition of Bi₂O₃, despite the fact the molar volume is decease within 85.43-54.79 cm³/mol. The WinXcom program was used to approximate the effect of Bi₂O₃ on the gamma radiation shielding parameters of bismuth titanium vanadium sodium tellurite glasses. The ㎛ values decrease with the increase of Bi₂O₃ concentration. The computed data shows that the glass sample with 20 mol.% of Bi₂O₃ content has the greatest radiation attenuation performance in comparison to other selected glasses. The Bi₂O₃-TiO₂-V₂O₅-Na₂O-TeO₂ glass system shows excellent neutron shielding material with high long-term light transmittance and discharge resistance and could be potentially used as transparent radiation-resistant shielding glass applications.

The selective area growth light emitting diode on GaN substrate was grown using mixed-source HVPE method with multi-sliding boat system. The GaN substrate was grown using mixed-source HVPE system. Te-doped AlGaN/AlGaN/Mg-doped AlGaN/Mg-doped GaN multi-layers were grown on the GaN substrate. The appearance of epi-layers and the thickness of the DH was evaluated by SEM measurement. The DH metallization was performed by e-beam evaporator. n-type metal and p-type metal were evaporated Ti/Al and Ni/Au, respectively. At the I-V measurement, the turn-on voltage is 3 V and the differential resistance is 13 Ω. It was found that the SAG-LED grown on GaN substrate using mixed-source HVPE method with multi-sliding boat system could be applied for developing high quality LEDs.

In this study, we observed the shapes of CNTs formed with the thinckness of catalyst. Catalyst layer was grown by magnetron sputtering method and the thickness of Ni catalyst is the range from 20 to 80 nm. Also, the synthesis of CNT with Ni catalyst thickness was grown by hot-filament PECVD method. And, we investigated the composition of CNTs by using EDS measurement, also observed the shapes of CNTs by using HRTEM and FESEM measurements. In the result, through the TEM analysis, we observed the empty inside of CNTs and the multiwall CNTs, also confirmed the tip of CNT containing Ni. The composition of CNTs are consisted of an element of C, Ti, and Ni. As you shown the growth shapes of CNTs, the pretreatment of the catalyst before te growth of CNTs changed the particle size of the catalysts and grown the CNTs of the different shapes. Consequently, the best vertically alined and well-arranged CNTs exhibited from the substrate deposited at the catalyst thickness of 40 nm.
