Synthesizing one-dimensional nanostructures of oxide semiconductors is a promising approach to fabricate highefficiency photoelectrodes for hydrogen production from photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. In this work, vertically aligned zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays are successfully synthesized on fluorine-doped-tin-oxide (FTO) coated glass substrate via seed-mediated hydrothermal synthesis method with the use of a ZnO nanoparticle seed layer, which is formed by thermally oxidizing a sputtered Zn metal thin film. The structural, optical and PEC properties of the ZnO nanorod arrays synthesized at varying levels of Zn sputtering power are examined to reveal that the optimum ZnO nanorod array can be obtained at a sputtering power of 20 W. The photocurrent density and the optimal photocurrent conversion efficiency obtained for the optimum ZnO nanorod array photoanode are 0.13 mA/㎠ and 0.49 %, respectively, at a potential of 0.85 V vs. RHE. These results provide a promising avenue to fabricating earth-abundant ZnO-based photoanodes for PEC water oxidation using facile hydrothermal synthesis.

Zn코팅은 우수한 내식성과 경제성을 바탕으로 자동차나 건축자재 등 산업의 전반적인 분야에서 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 하지만 최근 한정된 Zn의 매장량으로 인한 원자제의 가격상승과 습식 도금과정의 환경오염 물질 배출 문제가 기존 Zn 코팅의 약점으로 지적되고 있다. 따라서 새로운 원소의 첨가로 인한 Zn의 사용량 감소나 친환경적인 공정방법을 적용하는 연구가 대두되고 있다. 최근의 연구 결과에 따르면 Zn-Mg 합금이 다른 Zn계 합금에 비해 내식성이 우수하며, 이와 같은 우수한 내식성은 $Mg_2Zn_{11}$, $MgZn_2$와 같은 Mg-Zn 이원계의 합금상에 의한 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 친환경적인 비대칭 마그네트론 스퍼터 공정을 활용하여 다양한 공정조건 하에서 Zn-Mg 박막을 합성하여 최적의 공정 조건을 도출하고자 하였다. Zn-Mg 박막 합성 시 Mg타겟의 조성은 3~10 wt.%로 변화하였으며 Zn-Mg 합금 타겟의 온도를 제어하여 박막의 Mg 조성과 타겟 온도가 Zn-Mg 도금강의 내식성 및 밀착성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 합성된 Zn-Mg 박막은 FE-SEM, EDS, XRD를 사용하여 미세조직, 두께, Mg 조성, 합금상 등을 분석하였으며, 염수분무시험 및 0T 굽힘 시험을 활용하여 Zn-Mg 박막의 내식성 및 내식성을 비교 분석하였다. FE-SE및 EDS분석 결과 Zn-Mg 박막의 Mg 조성은 합금 타겟의 조성이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, Mg 함량이 증가할수록 미세구조가 치밀하게 변화하였다. 또한 Zn-Mg 박막 합성 중 타겟의 온도가 상승할수록 박막의 치밀도는 감소하였다. XRD분석 결과 박막을 이루는 주요 합금상은 Zn상과 $Mg_2Zn_{11}$상이며 본 연구에서는 증착 조건에 따른 합금상의 큰 변화는 보이지 않았다. 염수분무실험 및 밀착성 평가 결과 박막의 미세조직이 치밀할수록 Zn-Mg 도금강의 내식성은 향상되었으나, 밀착성은 오히려 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 Zn-Mg 박막이 치밀한 미세구조일수록 부식환경에서의 강판에 대한 보호 효과는 증가하는 반면, 변형 시 박막의 파괴로 인한 박리 현상이 가속되기 때문으로 판단된다.

Omega-shaped-gate (OSG) nanowire-based field effect transistors (FETs) have been attracted recently attention due to their highdevice performance expected from theoretical simulations among nanowire-based FETs with other gate geometries. OSG FETs with the channels of ZnO nanowires were successfully fabricated in this study with photolithographic processes. In the OSG FETs fabricated on oxidized Si substrates, the channels of ZnO nanowires with diameters of about 60 nm are coated surroundingly by $Al_{2}O_{3}$ as gate dielectrics with atomic layer deposition. About 80 % of the surfaces of the nanowires coated with $Al_{2}O_{3}$ is covered with gate metal to form OSG FETs. A representative OSG FET fabricated in this study exhibits a mobility of 98.9 $cm^{2}/Vs$, a peak transconductance of 0.4 ${\mu}S$, and an Ion/Ioff ratio of $10^6$ the value of the Ion/Ioff ratio obtained from this OSG FET is the highest among nanowire-based FETs, to our knowledge. Its mobility, peak transconductance, and Ion/Ioff ratio arc remarkably enhanced by 11.5, 32, and $10^6$ times, respectively, compared with a back-gate FET with the same ZnO nanowire channel as utilized in the OSG FET.

In this study, EM wave absorbers based on Au coated conductive sheets were prepared, and their reflection and transmission coefficients were investigated. An Au coated conductive sheet showed the transmission loss higher than 40 dB in $1{\sim}18$ GHz. Ba ferrite EM wave absorbers with an Au coated conductive sheet showed enhanced EM wave absorption and shield to compare with Ba ferrite EM wave absorbers without conductive sheets. Proposed EM wave absorbers with conductive sheets are useful to protect EM machines from EM interference by strayfields.

ZnSe/$Zn_3P_2$ heterojunctions with a substrate configuration were fabricated using a series of cost-effective processes. Thin films of ZnTe and $Zn_3P_2$ were successively grown by close-spaced sublimation onto Mo-coated glass substrates. ZnSe layers thinner than 100nm were formed by annealing the $Zn_3P_2$ films in selenium vapor. Surface selenization generated a high density of micro-cracks which, along with voids, provided shunt paths and severely deteriorated the diode characteristics. Annealing the $Zn_3P_2$ film at $300^{\circ}C$ in a $ZnCl_2$ atmosphere before surface selenization produced a dense microstructure and prevented micro-crack generation. The mechanism of micro-crack generation by the selenization was described and the suppression effect of $ZnCl_2$ treatment on the micro-crack generation was explained. ZnSe/$Zn_3P_2$ heterojunctions with low leakage current ($J_0$ < $1{\mu}A/cm^2$) were obtained using an optimized surface selenization process with $ZnCl_2$ treatment. However, the series resistance was very high due to the presence of an electrical barrier between the ZnTe and $Zn_3P_2$ layers.

Hot-press forming(HPF) steel can be applied successfully to auto parts because of its superior mechanical properties. However, its resistances to aqueous corrosion and the subsequent hydrogen embrittlement(HE) decrease significantly when the steel is exposed to corrosive environments. Considering that the resistances are greatly dependent on the properties of coating materials formed on the steel surface, the characteristics of the corrosion and hydrogen diffusion behaviors regarding the types of coating material should be clearly understood. Electrochemical polarization and impedance measurements reveal a higher corrosion potential and polarization resistance and a lower corrosion current of the Al-coating compared with Zn-coating. Furthermore, it was expected that the diffusion kinetics of the hydrogen atoms would be much slower in the Al-coating, and this would be due mainly to the much lower diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in the Al-coating with a face-centered cubic structure. The superior surface inhibiting effect of the Al-coating, however, is degraded by the formation of local cracks in the coated layer under severe stress conditions, and therefore further study will be necessary to gain a clearer understanding of the effect of cracks formed on the coated layer on the subsequent corrosion and hydrogen diffusion behaviors.

Formation of the weld defect, such as a blowhole and a pit in lap-jointed fillet arc welds has been a serious problem in arc welding of Zn-coated steel sheet. In this study, the relationship among welding conditions, welding materials and defect formation was investigated in order to minimize these defects in the CO₂ welds. In addition, the arc stability of the commercial welding wires was evaluated for revealing their effects on defect formation. Main conclusions obtained are as follows:1) There was no difference between shear tensile strength of the sound welds and that of the welds with blowholes whose diameters are less than 0.5mm. However, the welds with blowholes whose diameters are equal or larger than 0.5mm and pits exhibited tensile strength 10~20% and 30~40% lower than that of the sound welds respectively.2) The optimum welding condition to effectively prevent or reduce the weld defects formation are as follows:- The welding variables of 220A-23V-100cm/min and 120A-190V-30cm/min were recommended for minimizing the weld defects.- The gap between the two sheets at the lap-joint should be controlled to more than 0.2mm- Solid wire was less susceptible to the formation of the weld defects than the flux-cored wire.- The low welding current condition produced less weld defects than the hihg welding current condition.3) One of the reason why the amount of the defect was reduced at the low welding current was the gas discharging by the active agitation of the molten pool, due to an increasing in the number of the short circuit.
