Anodic alumina layer can be used as templates for preparation of nano-structured materials, because porous oxide layer on aluminum shows a uniform pore size and a high pore density. In order to find out possibility for template material to prepare nano wire, the effects of the anodic applied potential, anodic time and the temperature of electrolyte on pore diameter of anodic alumina layer were studied using SEM and AFM. The pore diameter of anodic alumina layer increased with applied anodic potential and electrolytic temperature. Especially, the pore diameter of anodic oxide layers formed in chromic acid can be well replicated by widening process in $H_3$$PO_4$solution.

Hot-wire measurements are performed in boundary layers developing on a NACA0012 airfoil over which wakes pass periodically. The Reynolds number based on chord length of the airfoil is 2$\times$10(sup)5 and the wakes are generated by circular cylinders rotating clockwise and counterclockwise around the airfoil. This paper and its companion Part II describe the phenomena of wake-induced transition of the boundary layers on the airfoil using measured data; phase-and time-averaged streamwise mean velocities, turbulent fluctuations, integral parameters and wall skin frictions. This paper describes the background and facility together with results of time-averaged quantities. Due to the passing wake with mean velocity defects and high turbulence intensities, the laminar boundary layer is periodically disturbed at the upstream station and becomes steady-state transitional boundary layer at the downstream station. The velocity defect in the passing wake changes the local pressure at the leading of the airfoil, significantly affects the time-mean pressure distribution on the airfoil and eventually, has influence on the transition process of the boundary layer.

The surface of Mg alloy, AZ31 and AZ91, were treated by PEO (plasma electrolytic oxidation) in Na-P system electrolyte, with different applied voltage and time. Thickness, roughness and X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed several results. The more applied time and voltage of PEO treated, the thicker oxidized surface coating layer were covered. And surface roughness increased with the thickness of oxidized layer. It was thought that when oxide layer grew, resistivity and breakdown voltage increased with the thickness of layer, and then, the energy of micro plasma need to be higher then before. So, it made craters and pores of surface become greater, which were responsible for the coarse surface.

In the present work, an attempt has been made to construct branching surface from 2-D contours, which are given at different layers and may have branches. If a layer having more than one contour and corresponds to contour at adjacent layers, then it is termed as branching problem and approximated by adding additional points in between the layers. Firstly, the branching problem is converted to single contour case in which there is no branching at any layer and the final branching surface is obtained by skinning. Contours are constructed from the given input points at different layers by energy-based B-Spline approximation. 3-D curves are constructed after adding additional points into the contour points for all the layers having branching problem by using energy-based B-Spline formulation. Final 3-D surface is obtained by skinning 3-D curves and 2-D contours. There are three types of branching problems: (a) One-to-one, (b) One-to-many and (c) Many-to-many. Oneto-one problem has been done by plethora of researchers based on minimizations of twist and curvature and different tiling techniques. One-to-many problem is the one in which at least one plane must have more than one contour and have correspondence with the contour at adjacent layers. Many-to-many problem is stated as m contours at i-th layer and n contours at (i+1)th layer. This problem can be solved by combining one-to-many branching methodology. Branching problem is very important in CAD, medical imaging and geographical information system(GIS).

This paper describes direct $\mu$C-Si/CaF$_2$/glass thin film growth by RPCVD system in a low temperature for thin film transistor (TFT), photovoltaic devices. and sensor applications. Experimental factors in a low temperature direct $\mu$ c-Si film growth are presented in terms of deposition parameters: SiH$_4$/H$_2$ ratio, chamber total pressure, substrate temperature, rf power, and CaF$_2$ buffer layer. The structural and electrical properties of the deposited films were studied by means of Raman spectroscopy, I-V, L-I-V, X-ray diffraction analysis and SEM. we obtain a crystalline volume fraction of 61%, preferential growth of (111) and (220) direction, and photosensitivity of 124. We achieved the improvement of crystallinity and electrical property by using the buffer layers of CaF$_2$ film.

Magnetic properties were investigated for Si/SiO$_2$/NiFe(300 )/A1$_2$O$_3$(t)/Co(200 ) junction related with the parameters of $Al_2$O$_3$. Insulating $Al_2$O$_3$ layer was formed by depositing a 5~40 thick Al layer, followed by a 90~120s RF plasma oxidation in an $O_2$ atmosphere. Magnetoresistance was not observed for tunnel junction with 5~10 thick Al layer, but magnetoresistance was observed large for tunnel junction with 15~40 thick Al layer. Oxidation time did not largely influence magnetoresistance. Tunnel magnetoresistance effect depended on magnetization behavior of two ferromagnetic layers. Tunneling junction was confirmed through nonlinear I-V curve. In this work, tunneling magnetoresistance(TMR) up to 30 % was observed. This apparent TMR is an artifact of the nonuniform current flow over the junction in the cross geometry of the electrodes.

This study was performed to develop thin layer drying equations fur short grain rough rice using far-infrared ray. Thin layer drying tests was conducted at four far-infrared ray temperature levels of 30, 40, 50, 60$^{\circ}C$ and two initial moisture content levels of 20.7, 26.2%(w.b.). The measured moisture ratios were fitted to Lewis and Page drying models by stepwise multiple regression analysis. Half response time of drying was affected by both drying temperature and initial moisture content at drying temperature of below 40$^{\circ}C$, but at above 40$^{\circ}C$ was mainly affected by drying temperature. Experimental constant(k) in Lewis model was a function of drying temperature, but K and N in Page model were function of drying temperature and initial moisture content. Moisture ratios predicted by two drying models agreed well with experimental values. But in the actual range of drying temperature above 30$^{\circ}C$ Page model was more suitable for predicting of drying rates.

A new type of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) based on a porous type Ti electrode without using a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer is fabricated for low-cost high-efficient solar cell application. The TCO-free DSC is composed of a glass substrate/dye-sensitized $TiO_2$ nanoparticle/porous Ti layer/electrolyte/Pt sputtered counter electrode. The porous Ti electrode (~350 nm thickness) with high conductivity can collect electrons from the $TiO_2$ layer and allows the ionic diffusion of $I^-/I_3{^-}$ through the hole. The vacuum annealing treatment is important with respect to the interfacial necking between the metal Ti and porous $TiO_2$ layer. The efficiency of the prepared TCO-free DSC sample is about 3.5% (ff: 0.48, $V_{oc}$: 0.64V, $J_{sc}$: 11.14 mA/$cm^2$).

TiC-derived carbon coatings have been synthesized at $600^{\circ}C$ temperature treatment with $H_2/Cl_2$ mixture gases. From Raman spectroscopy measurements, the modified layer was covered with carbon and the thick-ness of the layer was increased with increasing reaction time. And $I_D/I_G$ ratio was decreased with increasing reaction time. The superior tribological property was obtained from TiC reacted with $Cl_2$ gas for 2 hrs. And the tribological property measurements indicate that TiC-derived carbon layer has $0.9{\times}10_{-6}mm^3/Nm$ in wear coefficient and 0.13 in friction coefficient.

Fiber metal laminate (FML) is a type of hybrid composites which consist of metallic and fiber-reinforced plastic sheets. As the FML has a drawback of the delamination that is a failure of the interfacial adhesive layer, the nominal stresses and the energy release rates should be determined to identify the delamination behavior. However, it is difficult to derive the nominal stresses and the energy release rates since the operating temperature of the equipment is restricted. For this reason, the objective of this paper is to predict the mode-I nominal stress and the mode-I energy release rate of the adhesive layer using the inverse analysis based on the Levenberg-Marquardt method. First, the mode-I nominal stress was assumed as the tensile strength of the adhesive layer, and the mode-I energy release rate was obtained from the double cantilever beam test. Next, the finite element method was applied to predict the mode-I delamination behavior. Finally, the mode-I nominal stress and the mode-I energy release rate were predicted by the inverse analysis. In addition, the convergence of the parameters was validated by trying to input two cases of the initial parameters. Consequently, it is noted that the inverse analysis can predict the mode-I delamination behavior, and the two input parameters were converged to similar values.
