ZnO is well-known as a promising material for optical communication systems and electronic displays. ZnO:Er thin films were deposited on c-plane sapphire substrates by rf magnetron sputtering, and the effects of sputtering parameters and the annealing conditions on the luminescence in the visible range were investigated. Luminescent properties depended on the crystallinity of films and annealing atmosphere. Highly c-axis oriented ZnO:Er films showed a strong emission band at 465 nm and a weak emission at 525 nm due to the energy transition of $^{4}I_{15/2}-^{4}F_{5/2}\;and\;^{4}I_{15/2}-^{2}H_{11/2}$, respectively. ZnO:Er thin films annealed at air atmosphere were superior to those annealed in $H_2$ in photoluminescence intensity.

The electrical properties and stability of ZPCE varistors consisted of $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}-CoO-Er_2O_3$ ceramics were investigated. $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}-CoO-Er_2O_3$ based ceramics were sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ and $1350^{\circ}C$, respectively, without and with 0.5 mol% $Er_2O_3$. The varistors sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ exhibited a better nonlinearity than that $1350^{\circ}C$. The varistors with $Er_2O_3$ of 0.5 mol% exhibited a high nonlinear exponent of 52.8. However, they easily degraded due to the low density below 85% of TD. On the other hand, the varistors sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ without $Er_2O_3$ exhibited an extremely poor nonlinearity, but the varistors with $Er_2O_3$ of 0.5 mol% exhibited a relatively good nonlinearity, which the nonlinear exponent is 34.8 and the leakage current is $7.4\;{\mu}A$ Morever, they exhibited a very high stability, which the variation rate of varistor voltage, nonlinear exponent, and leakage current are -0.9%, -2.9%, and +2.7%, respectively, under the third stress $(0.80 V_{1mA}/90^{\circ}C/12h)$ + $(0.85 V_{1mA}/115^{\circ}C/12h)$ + $(0.90 V_{1mA}/120^{\circ}C/12h)$. Consequently, it was estimated that $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}-CoO-Er_2O_3$ ceramics will be usefully applied to develop the advanced $Pr_6O_{11}$-based ZnO varistors.

The nonlinearity and degradation characteristics of $Pr_{6}O_{11}$-based ZnO varistors doped with, $Er_{2}O_3$ were investigated. The varistors were sintered at 1335$^{\circ}C$ in the addition range of 0.0 to 2.0 mol% $Er_{2}O_3$, respectively The varistor doped with $Er_{2}O_3$ exhibited more higher nonlinearity than that without $Er_{2}O_3$. Most of the varistors containing 0.5 mol% $Er_{2}O_3$ showed nonlinear exponent more than 70 and a excellent stability, which the variation rate of the varistor voltage and the nonlinear exponent is -0.85% and -1.43%. respectively, even under 3rd d.c stress, such as (0.80 $V_{1mA}/90^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.85$V_{1mA}/115^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.90$V_{1mA}/120^{\circ}C$/12h). Consequently, since $Pr_{6}O_{11}$-based 2nO varistors doped with 0.5 mol% $Er_{2}O_3$ have an excellent stability as well as good nonlinearity, it is expected to be usefully used to develop the advanced varistors in future.

This paper presents control response of a semi-active electro-rheological(ER) suspension. After showing dynamic characteristics of the ER damper, 1/4 car model is formulated by incorporating with the time constant of the damping force. $H_{\infty}$ controller compensating mass and time constant uncertainties is then designed in order to suppress vibration level of the suspension. The control responses such as vertical acceleration are presented.

The electrical properties and stabiltiy of Pr$_{6}$O$_{11}$ -based ZnO varistors, which are composed of ZnO-Pr$_{6}$O$_{11}$-Cr$_{2}$O$_{3}$-Er$_{2}$O$_{3}$ based ceramics, were investigated in the Er$_{2}$O$_{3}$ content range of 0.5 to 2.0 mol%. As Er$_{2}$O$_{3}$content is increased up to approximaterly 1.0mol%, the nonlinearity was decreased. Increasing Er$_{2}$O$_{3}$ content further caused the nonlinearity to increase. The varistors with 2.0 mol% Er$_{2}$O$_{3}$ exhibited a high nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear exponent is 47.41 and the leakage current is 1.82 $\mu$A. Furthermore, they showed a very excellent stability, in which the variation rates of the varistor voltage, the nonlinear exponent, and leakage current are -0.52%, -4.09%, and 152.75%, respectively, under DC accelerated aging stress, such as (0.80 V$_{1mA}$9$0^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.85 V$_{1mA}$115$^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.90 V$_{1mA}$12$0^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.95 V$_{1mA}$1$25^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.95 V$_{1mA}$1$25^{\circ}C$/12h).2h).TEX>/12h).2h).

분무열분해법을 이용하여 서브 미크론 크기의 $CeO_2:Er^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ 상향 변환 형광체 입자를 합성하고 $Er^{3+}$ 및 $Yb^{3+}$ 농도 변화에 따른 발광특성을 조사하였다. 합성한 $CeO_2:Er^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$는 $Er^{3+}$ 활성이온의 $^4S_{3/2}/^2H_{11/2}{\rightarrow}^4I_{15/2}$ 및 $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^4I_{15/2}$ 전이에 기인한 강한 녹색 및 적색 발광을 보였다. 가장 높은 발광을 보이는 활성제 농도는 Er = 1.0% 그리고 Yb = 2.0%이며, 농도소광 현상은 쌍극자-쌍극자 상호작용을 통해 일어남이 확인되었다. 레이저 다이오드 여기 광 세기에 대한 발광강도 의존성을 활성이온 농도에 따라 조사하였고, 발광 중간 에너지 레벨의 주 소멸과정을 고려하여 발광 메커니즘을 조사하였다. $Yb^{3+}$에서 $Er^{3+}$으로 에너지 전달은 바닥 상태 흡수(ground state absorption, GSA)에 기여하고, $Yb^{3+}$ 도핑은 $^4I_{11/2}{\rightarrow}^4I_{13/2}$ 전이를 가속화시켜 적색/녹색 발광세기 비를 상승시킨다. 최종적으로 분무열분해법으로 제조된 $CeO_2:Er^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ 형광체의 발광은 선형 감쇠가 중간 에너지 레벨의 고갈을 지배하는 2 광자 프로세스에 의해 일어남을 확인하였다.

Al and Cd-induced inhibition of vitellogenin (VTG) production was examined at the estrogen receptor (ER) level in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss hepatocytes. The binding of $[^3H]$ $estradiol-17\beta\;(E_2)$ to hepatocytes reached a plateau 3 days after addition of $E_2\;(2\times\;10^{-6} M)$to the medium. The binding activity was linearly reduced with the increased concentrations $(-10^{-5}\;M)$ of 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (4-OHT) and specific binding linearly increased with the increased doses of $[^3H]\;E_2$, indicating that the radioligand bound to ER. Al $(-10^{-4}\;M)$and Cd $(10^{-6}\;M)$ as well as 4-OHT $(10^{-6}\;M)$ significantly reduced the $[^3H]\;E_2$-binding activity by $30­40\%$, while they completely inhibited VTG production. Al and Cd had no effect on $E_2-human$ $ER\alpha$ binding activity at any concentrations used $(-10^5\;nM\;each)$. These results suggested that Al and Cd inhibited VTG production in part by interfereing with the ER level. Inhibitory effects of these metals on the $E_z-dependent$ upregulation of ER activity are also discussed.

This paper presents a new prototype of an engine mount for a passenger vehicle featuring ER(elector-rheological) fluids and piezoactuators. Conventional rubber mounts and various types of passive or semi-active hydraulic engine mounts have their own functional aims on the limited frequency band in the board engine operating frequency range. However, the proposed engine mount covers all frequency range of the engine operation. A mathematical model of the proposed engine mount is derived using the bond graph method which is inherently domain, the ER fluid is activated upon imposing electric field for vibration isolation while the piezoactuator. Computer control electric fluid for the ER fluid H.inf. cotrol technique is adopted for the piezoactuator. Computer simulation is undertaken in order to demonstrate isolation efficiency of the engine mount over wide operating frequency range.

We have investigated the optical properties of Erbium (Er)-implanted GaN by photoluminescence (PL). Various doses of Er ion were implanted on GaN epilayers by ion implantation. Visible green emission lines due to inner 4f shell transitions for $Er^{3+}$ were observed from the PL spectrum of Er-implanted GaN. The emission spectrum consists of two narrow green lines at 537 and 558 nm. The green emission lines are identified as $Er^{3+}$ transitions from the $^{5}H_{11/2}$ and $^{4}S_{3/2}$ levels to the $^{4}I_{15/2}$ ground state. The stronger peaks in the case with the dose of $5{\times}10^{14}cm^{-2}$, together with the relatively higher intensity of the $Er^{3+}$ luminescence in the lower doped sample. It implies that some damage remains in the case with the dose of $1{\times}10^{16}cm^{-2}$. The peak positions of emission lines due to inner 4f shell transitions for $Er^{3+}$ do not change with increasing temperature. It indicates that $Er^{3+}$ related emission depends very little on the ambient temperature.
