Compacted bentonites were chosen as the backfill material and buffer in high level nuclear waste disposal due to its high swelling pressure, high ion adsorption capacity and low permeability. It is essential to estimate the swelling pressure in design and considering the safety of the nuclear repositories. The swelling pressure model of expansive clay colloids was developed based on Gouy-Chapman diffuse double layer theory. However, the diffuse double layer model is effective in predicting low compaction dry density (low swelling pressure) for certain bentonites, and invalidation in simulating high compaction dry density (high swelling pressure). In this paper, the new relationship between nondimensional midplane potential function, u, and nondimensional distance function, Kd, were established based on the Gouy-Chapman theory by considering the variation of void ratio. The new developed model was constructed based on the published literature data of compacted Na-bentonite (MX80) and Ca-bentonite (FoCa) for sodium and calcium bentonite respectively. The proposed models were applied to re-compute swelling pressure of other compacted Na-bentonites (Kunigel-V1, Voclay, Neokunibond and GMZ) and Ca-bentonites (FEBEX, Bavaria bentonite, Bentonite S-2, Montigel bentonite) based on the reported experimental data. Results show that the predicted swelling pressure has a good agreement with the experimental swelling pressure in all cases.

토양의 산/염기 완충능은 토양-오염물질-공극수로 이루어진 시스템의 pH에 직접적인 영향을 미치므로 오염물질의 토양내 거동예측시에 많은 영향을 미치는 매우 중요한 토양의 성질이다. 본 연구는 이중확산층이론과 two layer electrostatic 흡착모델을 응용하여 토양의 산/염기 완충능의 이론모델을 유도하고 이 모델의 적용절차를 제시하였다. 산-염기 적정실험을 통하여 두 종류의 카올리나이트의 완충능을 실측하고 이를 본 연구에서 개발된 모델의 예측치와 비교하였다.

In order to understand internal dynamics of starless cores, molecular line emissions are usually observed. From profiles of the molecular lines, internal motions of starless cores have been deduced using a simple radiative transfer model such as the two-layer model (Myers et al.1996). This brings complexities arising from the chemical evolution. The motivation of this study is to follow the chemical evolution of a starless core that goes through gravitational contraction. For this purpose, we have performed hydrodynamical simulations with a marginally unstable Bonnor-Ebert sphere as an initial condition. We follow the chemical evolution of this core with changing conditions such as the chemical reaction rate at the dust surface and the strength of radiation field that penetrate into the core. At the core center, the molecules suffer from a higher degree of molecular depletion on the dust covered by ice rather than on the bare silicate dust. The stronger radiation field dissociates more molecules at the core envelope. From analysis on the line profile using the two-layer model, we found that the speed of inward motion deduced from the HCN F = 2-1 line adequately traces the true infall speed, when the dust is covered by ice and the core is exposed to the diffuse interstellar radiation field. Under different conditions, the two-layer model significantly underestimate the infall speed.

A flow channel model of a bipolar plate with varying cross-sectional area was newly designed for improving performance and efficiency of a PEM fuel cell stack. As a result, the varying cross-sectional area model showed poor uniformity in velocity distribution, however, maximum velocity in the flow path is about 30% faster than that of the uniform cross-sectional area model. The proposed varying cross-sectional area model is expected to diffuse operating fluids more easily into diffusion layer because it has relatively higher values in pressure distribution compared with other flow channel models. It is expected that the implementation of the varying cross-sectional area model can reduce not only the mass transport loss but also the activation loss in a PEM fuel cell, and open circuit voltage of a fuel cell can thus be increased slightly.

Surface complex models(SCMs)은 최근 흡착모델링에 대한 관심사가 부각되면서 수질(표면수, 지하수)오염에 대한 영향을 예측하고 흡착결과를 파악하는데 많은 주목을 받고 있다. SCMs의 흡착모델의 하나인 diffuse double layer model(DDLM)은 특정조건에서 Gouy-Chapman 이론을 바탕으로 설명하고 있지만, 실제와는 상당한 차이를 보인다. 따라서 본 논문은 기존의 자료를 바탕으로 TiO$_2$/용매(수용액/ 물-에탄올(1:1))간의 거리를 추정해 감에 따라, 각 실험적 변수에 따른 electrical double layer(EDL)의 흡착형태의 변화를 알아보았다. 또한, cosolvent가 존재할때, 흡착모델 형태의 변화와 흡착결과에 대한 영향에 대해 알아보았다.

Vacancy defects in graphene can be created by electron or ion irradiation and those induce ripples which can change the electronic properties of graphene. Recently, the formation of defect structures such as vacancy defects and non-hexagonal rings has been reported in the high resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM) of reduced graphene oxide [1]. In those HR-TEM images, it is noticed that the dislocations with pentagon-heptagon (5-7) pairs are formed and diffuses. Interestingly, it is also observed that two 5-7 pairs are separated and diffuse far away from each other. The separation of 5-7 pairs has been known to be due to their self-diffusion. However, from our tight-binding molecular dynamics simulation, it is found that the separation of 5-7 pairs is due to the diffusion of single vacancy defects and coalescence with 5-7 pairs. The diffusion and coalescence of single vacancy defects is too fast to be observed even in HR-TEM. We also implemented Van der Waals interaction in our tight-binding carbon model to describe correctly bi-layer and multi-layer graphene. The compressibility of graphite along c-axis in our tight-binding calculation is found to be in excellent agreement with experiment. We also discuss the difference between single layer and bi-layer graphene about vacancy diffusion and reconstruction.

본 논문은 shallow trench isolation (STI) 공정에서 ILD (inter-layer dielectric) 막의 수분에 의해 야기되는 단 채널 (short-channel) nMOSFET의 hump 특성의 원인을 분석하고 억제 방법을 제안하였다. 다양한 게이트를 가지는 소자와 TDS-APIMS(Thermal Desorption System-Atmospheric Pressure Ionization Mass Spectrometry) 측정을 이용하여 hump 특성을 체계적으로 분석하였고, 분석을 바탕으로 단 채널 hump모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델에 의한 단 채널 nMOSFET의 hump 현상은 poly-Si 게이트 위의 ILD 막의 수분이 상부의 SiN 막에 의해 밖으로 확산되지 못하고 게이트와 STI의 경계면으로 확산하여 발생한 것이 며, 이를 개선하기 위해 상부의 SiN 막의 증착 전 열공정을 통해 ILD 막의 수분을 효과적으로 배출시킴으로써 hump 특성을 성공적으로 억제하였다.

There are various issues fabricating the successful and efficient solar cell structures. One of the most important issues is band alignment technique. The solar cells make the carrier in their active region over the p-n junction. Then, electrons and holes diffuse by minority carrier diffusion length. After they reach the edge of solar cells, there exist large energy barrier unless the good electrode are chosen. Many various conductor with different work functions can be selected to solve this energy barrier problem to efficiently extract carriers. Tungsten oxide has large band gap known as approximately 3.4 eV, and usually this material shows n-type property with reported work function of 6.65 eV. They are extremely high work function and trap level by oxygen vacancy cause them to become the hole extraction layer for optical devices like solar cells. In this study, we deposited tungsten oxide thin films by sputtering technique with various sputtering conditions. Their electrical contact properties were characterized with transmission line model pattern. The structure of tungsten oxide thin films were measured by x-ray diffraction. With x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the content of oxygen was investigated, and their defect states were examined by spectroscopic ellipsometry, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and photoluminescence measurements.

오염물질로 오염된 퇴적점토의 강도, 변형 및 투수특성 변화를 파악하기 위하여 NaCl 수용액과 매립장 침출수를 시료의 간극수(포화수)로 교체하여 삼축압축시험과 압밀시험을 수행하였다. 또한, 채취된 점토시료의 화학적 특성을 규명하기 위하여 주사전자현미경(SEM) 관찰과 에너지분산분광(EDX) 분석이 수반된다. 화학성분 분석결과 O, C, Si, Al, Fe 크기 순의 구성비가 얻어졌으며, 삼축압축시험 및 압밀시험결과는 NaCl의 농도가 증가할수록 극한응력(강도)은 증가하고 압축성과 투수성이 커지는 경향을 보이는데, 이는 전해질의 농도가 증가할수록 확산이중층(DDL)의 두께가 감소되어 면모화되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 점토 차수재를 투과한 침출수가 지하수 오염에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 MT3D 해석모델이 이용되었으며, 지하수 오염거동 해석결과 초기 염소이온 농도가 클수록 측정농도도 커지며, 시간경과에 따라 지하수 오염농도는 비선형적으로 증가되었다. 지하수 오염농도 감쇄 관계식을 유도하여 지하수 오염 이동거리를 예측한 결과, 초기농도가 클수록 지하수 오염 이동거리도 크게 나타났다.
