XLPE is used to insulator for Ultra High Voltage power cable. It is easy to processing also has a good insulating property. The study for diagnosis of lifetime and improvement is proceeding continuously. In this paper, it is investigated partial discharge distribution according to slope of needle electrode 0, 20, $40^{\circ}$. Applied voltage is 0.5 [kV/s] by step form for inception voltage. As the result of study, we conformed that increase of slope led to reduce of discharge number and total discharge quantity.

An external electrode fluorescent lamps (EEFLs) have the advantage of a long lifetime in the early stages of the study on plasma discharge, interest in the lamp continues. Studies on the operation of external electrode fluorescent lamps have focused mainly on its use of a type of high frequency (MHz). By performing high brightness using a square wave operation method with the low frequency below 100kHz, which is applied to a narrowed tube type lamp that has several mm of lamp diameter, an EEFL presented the possibility of using it as a light source for backlights. However, because an EEFL generates plasma using wall charges, which considers the impedance characteristics of glass based on the structural principle in discharge, it can be significantly affected by frequency. Thus, this study verifies the change in the characteristics of electromagnetic fields according to the change in frequency through a Maxwell's electromagnetic field simulation and examines the relationship between the change in the EEFL frequency and brightness by measuring the optical characteristics. In addition, the characteristics of the transformation of energy orbits were verified by investigating the characteristics of the wavelength according to the change in frequency through the OES.

The recent TFT-LCD Trend that is done large size gradually. As size of monitor great, though problem happens, it is that consumer's request which it makes monitor combined TV function. Monitor and TV are no difference externally greatly, but define difference happens as for backlight. An external electrode fluorescent lamp (EEFL) has an advantage of a long lifetime in the early stages of the study on plasma discharge, interest in the lamp continues. Researches on the operation of external electrode fluorescent lamps have focused mainly on its use of a type of high frequency (MHz). By performing high Luminance using a square wave operation method with the low frequency below 100kHz, which is applied to a narrowed tube type lamp that has several mm of lamp diameter, EEFL presented the possibility of using it as a light source for back-lights. However, because EEFL generates plasma using wall charges, which considers the impedance characteristics of glass based on the structural principle in discharge, it can be significantly affected by frequency. Thus, this study verified the change in the characteristics of electromagnetic fields according to the change in frequency through a Maxwell electromagnetic field simulation and examined the relationship between the change in the EEFL frequency and Luminance by measuring the optical characteristics.

Porous nano crystalline $TiO_2$ is currently used as a working electrode in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The conventional working electrode is comprised of absorption layer (particle size:~20 nm) and scattering layer (particle size:~300 nm). We inserted window layer with 10 nm particle size in order to increase transmittance and specific surface area of $TiO_2$. The electrochemical impedance spectroscope analysis was conducted to analysis characterization of the electronic behavior. The Bode phase plot and Nyquist plot were interpreted to confirm the internal resistance caused by the insertion of window layer and carrier lifetime. The photocurrent that occurred in working electrode, which is caused by rise in specific surface area, increased. Accordingly, it was found that insertion of window layer in the working electrode lead to not only effectively transmitting the light, but also increasing of specific surface area. Therefore, it was concluded that insertion of window layer contributes to high conversion efficiency of DSSCs.

S $r_{0.9}$/B $i_{2.1}$/T $a_{2}$/ $O_{9}$ solutions was synthesized by MOD (metalorganic decomposition) method. SBT thin films with 2000$\AA$ thickness were prepared on Ir $O_2$/ $SiO_2$/Si and Pt/Ti/ $SiO_2$/Si substrates using the spin coating process and then investigated the dielectric and electrical properties of them. In the case of using Ir $O_2$bottom electrode the hysteresis loop was saturated at lower temperature than Pt/Ti electrode but the breakdown phenomenon was occurred at low voltage because of the rough surface morphology and porous microstructure of SBT thin films. As the results of the fatigue and imprint characteristics related to the lifetime and reliability of devices after 10$^{10}$ cycles the fatigue rates were about 10% at the Ir $O_2$and Pt/Ti bottom electrodes. Both SBT thin films with Ir $O_2$ and with Pt/Ti bottom electrodes show a slight tendency to imprint after 10$^{9}$ cycles but do not lead to a failure.e.e.

Lithium is a highly attractive material for high-energy-concentration batteries, since it has low weight and high potential. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which have the extremely high gravimetric and volumetric energy densities, are currently the most preferable power sources for future electric vehicles and various portable electronic devices. In order to improve the efficiency and lifetime, new electrode compounds for lithium intercalation or insertion have been investigated for rechargeable batteries. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a very useful tool to investigate the structural changes in electrode materials in actual working lithium-ion batteries. To detect the in-situ microstructural changes of electrode and electrolyte materials, $^7Li-^{19}F$ double-resonance solid-state NMR probe with a static solenoidal coil for a 600-MHz narrow-bore magnet was designed, constructed, and tested successfully.

Silver pastes as the outer electrodes have been prepared using Pb-free glass frits with different content of $Bi_2O_3$ and the effects of glass composition on the degradation behaviors of the Ag electrodes were investigated using the change of adhesion between Ag electrode and alumina substrate with thermal cycle stress. Low adhesion and high surface resistance were observed in Ag electrode using glass frit with a $Bi_2O_3$ content of 60 wt%, owing to the open microstructure formed at the firing temperature of $600^{\circ}C$. When the $Bi_2O_3$ was increased to 80 wt% in the glass frit, the Ag electrodes had a dense microstructure with high adhesion and a low surface resistance. Delamination of the Ag electrodes was a major failure mode under thermal cycle stress and this was attributed to residual stress due to the thermal expansion mismatch between the Ag electrode and the alumina substrate.

This study was carried out to investigate the applicability of PVC membrane-based ion-selective electrodes for macronutrients (K, Ca, and N) by measuring of potassium, calcium, nitrate ions in hydroponic nutrient solution. The capabilities of two ion-selective membranes with varying chemical compositions for each ion were evaluated in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and lifetime to choose sensing elements suitable for measuring typical ranges of nutrient concentrations in hydroponic solutions. The selected calcium and nitrate ion-selective membranes showed effectively sensitive responses to calcium and nitrate ions with lifetimes of 25 and 15 days, respectively. The addition of a cation additive to the potassium membrane cocktail allowed its sensitivity to be increased whereas its lifetime was reduced from 30 days to 10 days.

In this paper, we showed the erosion characteristic of MgO protector layer releated to lifetime of plasma display panel(PDP). We observed MgO erosion characteristic as a functions of deposition conditions, pressure and distance between electrodes. In RIE condition of Xe gas, the lowest erosion rate appears in the conditions of no heating bias voltage -30V and pressure 5mtorr. In general, as deposition rate increases, erosion rate decreases. In real panel, when the gap distance between electrodes is narrow and the pressure is low, the heavy plasma damage appears. Also, the surfaces between electrodes and on the bus electrode are extremely damaged.
