The effect of mixing ratio on the corrosion protection of carbon steel coated by a film composed of poly(vinylidene) fluoride (PVDF) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was examined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Surface crystallization behavior and thermal properties of the PVDF/PMMA coated carbon steel were evaluated using polarized optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. A Maltese cross-pattern spherulite crystal was observed in the PVDF/PMMA coating film, which became more apparent with increasing PVDF content. The highest corrosion protection performance was achieved with 60 wt.% PVDF-coated carbon steel, and delamination and corrosion reactions were observed for 20 wt.% PVDF-coated carbon steel. Further, corrosion protection performance with an amorphous/crystal mixture (PVDF/PMMA, 60/40 (w/w)) was better than those observed in the amorphous domain and the perfect-crystal domain of the PVDF/PMMA blended coating system.

So far, the design methods of quartz crystal resonator have been developed. Recently, as the electronic package and semiconductor modules become smaller, the need to minimize the sizes of crystal components grows larger. but Minimizing crystal plate sizes has limitations because its temperature-frequency characteristics is worse and unwanted resonances occur. so appropriate design of electrode size and crystal plates is necessary. In this palter, Two-dimensional governing equations for electroded piezoelectric crystal plates with general symmetry have been solved from deduced equations from three-dimensional equations of linear piezoelectricity in most cases. In practice, electroded piezoelectric crystal plates have three-dimensional geometry, so simplified 2-dimensional equations and 2-D modeling are insufficient for explaining its resonance modes and characteristics. So, three-dimensional FEM(finite element method) analysis is done and its effectiveness is verified from analyzing practical crystal resonator model.

This study focused on the performance characteristics of solar cell using the impedance technique. We measured an impedance according to frequency from 1 Hz until 1 MHz. It could know that the impedance was decreased according to the frequency increases in solar cell. The impedance of single crystal solar cell was 0.61 ${\Omega}$ at 1 Hz, and kept almost settled value to $1{\times}10^2$ Hz. However, the impedance of polycrystal solar cell was $7{\times}10^3{\Omega}$ at 1 Hz.

In this research, modeling and analysis of an ultrasonic transducer composed of single crystal piezoelectric material(PMN-28PT) are conducted with FEM in reference with that composed of piezoelectric ceramic(PZT-4). Acoustic performances of the ultrasonic transducer are compared with magnitude, phase of impedance and trasmitting voltage response according to the type of piezoelectric materials.

The paper presents a new method for analyzing oscillation regions of transistor oscillators. In transistor feedback oscillators oscillation region appears as a circle in feedback impedance complex plane. When the resistive component of feedback impedance is fixed and the reactive component of feedback impedance is varied or vice versa, the locus of maximum negative output conductance becomes hyperbola. In transistor crystal oscillators oscillation region is determined by two circles which make real part and imaginary part of input impedance zero in load impedance complex plane. When the resistive compoment of load impedance is fixed and the reactive colnponent of load impedance is varied or vice versa, the loci of maximum or minimum resistive component of input impedance become straight lines.

The objective of this study was to develop a real-time soil moisture meter using RF impedance. The impedance suchas capacitance and resistance (or conductance) was analyzed using parallel cylinder type capacitance probe(C-probe) and Q-meter (HP4342). The capacitance and conductance of soil increased as volumetric water content increased. The 5 MHz of modified Colpitts type crystal oscillator was designed to detect the capacitance change of the C-probe with moist soil. A third order polynomial regression model was proposed to describe the relationship between RF impedance and volumetric water content. The prototype real time moisture meter consisted of the C-probe, sample container, oscillator, frequency counter and related signal processing units. The calibration equation for measurement of volumetric moisture content of soil was developed and validated. The correlation coefficient and root mean square error between measured volumetric water content by oven method and predicted values by prototype moisture meter for unknown soil samples were 0.984 and 0.032$cm^3$$cm\^3$, respectively.

Spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ and $LiMn_{1.9}Mg_{0.05}Zn_{0.05}O_4$ powders were synthesized by solid-state method at $800^{\circ}C$ for 36h. Crystal structure and electrochemical properties were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, charge-discharge test, cyclic voltammetry and ac impedance to $LiMn_2O_4$ and $LiMn_{1.9}Mg_{0.05}Zn_{0.05}O_4/Li$. All cathode material showed spinel structure in X-ray diffraction. $LiMn_{1.9}Mg_{0.05}Zn_{0.05}O_4/Li$ cell substituted $Mg^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ showed excellent discharge capacities than other cells, which it presented about 120mAh/g at the 1st cycle and about 73mAh/g at the 250th cycle, respectively. AC impedance of $LiMn_{1.9}Mg_{0.05}Zn_{0.05}O_4/Li$ cells showed the similar resistance of about $65{\sim}110{\Omega}$ before cycling.

The water absorption in protective coatings, which may greatly influence the durability of these coatings, was studied using quartz crystal microbalance and electrochemical impedance technique. The water absorption in protective coatings and the change of coating capacitance with concentration of electrolyte were measured. The water absorption in coatings seems to be driven by osmotic pressure, and larger amount of water was absorbed in thinner coatings at initial stage of absorption. The amount of water absorbed in coatings changed with the type and crosslinking density of resin used in coating formulation. When water absorption and desorption of coating occured by exposing the coatings to electrolyte solutions of different concentration, increase in impedance caused by desorption of water was found to be higher in the case of thinner film.

A microstrip bandpass filter using stepped impedance resonators and tapped input / output is realized with Teflon substrate, whose center frequency is 3.5 GHz and fractional bandwidth is 20%. In order to realize a wider bandwidth of 30%, the Crystal's design method and the input / output tapping scheme are used. Another microstrip filter designed as mentioned above is realized with Epsilam-10 substrate. This case shows good agreement between the theoretical responses and the measured ones.
