We have investigated the effect of forming gas annealing for Upgraded Metallurgical Grade (UMG)-silicon solar cell in order to obtain low-cost high-efficiency cell using post deposition anneal at a relatively low temperature. We have observed that high concentration hydrogenation effectively passivated the defects and improved the minority carrier lifetime, series resistance and conversion efficiency. It can be attributed to significantly improved hydrogen-passivation in high concentration hydrogen process. This improvement can be explained by the enhanced passivation of silicon solar cell with antireflection layer due to hydrogen re-incorporation. The results of this experiment represent a promising guideline for improving the high-efficiency solar cells by introducing an easy and low cost process of post hydrogenation in optimized condition.

전송폭과 굴절률이 서로 다른 다중모드 간섭 결합기 (MMICs)를 계단형으로 연결하면 전형적인 방법으로 설계된 다중모드 간섭 결합기의 결합길이를 현저하게 줄일 수 있는 새로운 구조가 본 논문에서 제안되었다. 전송폭이 82%의 cross 결합효율에 대하여, 결합길이는 약 6.7%가 줄어들었다. 그러나, 전송폭과 굴절률이 계단형인 다중모드 간섭 결합기에서는 약 93%의 결합 효율과 약 9%의 결합길이 축소가 발생하였다. 더욱이, 소형 다중모드 간섭 결합기를 설계하기 위하여 널리 사용되는 테이퍼 구조를 계단형으로 구성하면, 약 90%의 결합효율과 약 25%가 축소된 소형 다중모드 간섭 결합기를 설계할 수 있음을 보였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate for filtration efficiency of several dust masks, comparing with filtration efficiency certified by KOSHA(Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency), and to require of the right use of protective respirators. Using a welding fume generator and chamber, several dust masks, which were widely used in the workplaces in korea, were tested for their filtering efficiency for stainless steel arc welding fume. The filtration efficiency testing system consisted of a welding fume generator, a chamber and a filtration unit. The filtration unit was made of a mask which was inserted into the sampling cassette and another sampling cassette, which contained mixed cellulose ester filter paper. These two cassettes were connected with tubing. Stainless steel arc welding fume generator was delivered into an chamber. The welding fume in the chamber was passed into the filtration unit with flow rate of 30 liter/min. The welding fume filtration efficiency was evaluated by gravimetric measurement. Metal concentrations in the welding fume before and after filtration were measured with inductive coupling plasma analyzer. Following results were obtained: Filtration efficiency of welding fume for common hygienic mask was 63.82% and the average efficiencies for A, B, C, D, E, F and G masks were 94.62%, 96.58%, 83.20%, 82.76%, 77.25%, 86.55% and 93.22%, respectively. Our results indicate that dust masks used widely in the welding workplaces in korea are not proper for protecting worker's health and then the use of fume mask should be required.

We report a new series of blue dopants composed of both electron donating and electron accepting moieties in one molecule, based on nalidixic acid. The EL device derived from the dopant exhibits pure blue light emission (0.15, 0.14) The current efficiency is estimated to be 3.88 cd/A at 100 $cd/m^2$, which shows remarkable enhancement, compared to that of the host itself (2.5 cd/A at 100 $cd/m^2$) under the same conditions. These results demonstrate that the incorporation of a proper guest into the host in a guest-host doped system improves not only the purity of the fluorescent blue emission but also elevates its quantum efficiency, thus improving the OLED performance.

Power efficiency, lifetime and stable manufacturing processes are the crucial parameters for the success of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) in display and lighting applications. Highest power efficiencies of PIN-OLEDs for all principal colours and for bottom and top emission OLED structures have been demonstrated. The PIN structure, which means the incorporation of intentionally doped charge carrier transport layer in a suitable OLED layer setup, lowers the operating voltage to achieve highest power efficiencies. Up to now the n-doping of the electron transport layer has been done by alkali metal co-deposition. This has main draw-backs in terms of manufacturability, since the handling of large amounts of pure Cs is a basic issue in production lines. Here we present in detail results on PIN-OLEDs comprising a newly developed molecular n-dopant. All the previous OLED performance data based on PIN-OLEDs with alkali metal doping could be reproduced and will be further improved in the future. Hence, for the first time, a full manufacturing compatible PIN-OLED is available.

EGCG의 안정성을 향상시키기 위해 ethosome에 포집을 시도하였다. 물에 에탄올을 첨가해서 EGCG의 용해도를 높임으로써 ethosome에 적정량의 EGCG이 포집될 수 있도록 하였다. EGCG 수용액의 농도와 ethosome 막을 구성하는 지질의 조성은 ethosome 입자크기와 포집효율에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하고 ethosome의 액정상 형성은 편광 현미경을 사용하여 관측하였다. EGCG가 수용액 상태로 있을 때와 ethosome에 포집되어 있을 때, UV 또는 고온의 상태에서의 안정성을 비교한 결과 ethosome에 포집된 EGCG의 안정화 효과를 확인하였다. Ethosome에 토코페롤의 첨가는 UV에 의한 EGCG의 분해를 지연시켰다.

There has been, in recent years, effort to make cast copper rotors for industrial use of induction motors. Because the incorporation of copper for the conductor bars and end rings of the induction motor in place of aluminum would result in attractive improvements in motor energy efficiency. The purpose of this method is a reducing the copper loss as using higher conductivity of copper. In this paper as the single phase induction motor is studied, the stator slots and coil turn number is designed for adjusting the slot fill factor and improving its efficiency. At this time design is basis on calculation of reducing loss. And finally this paper shows that the before and after result is compared and analyzed.

As a renewable nanomaterial, cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) isolated from wood grants excellent mechanical properties in developing high performance nanocomposites. This study was undertaken to compare the reinforcing efficiency of two different CNCs, i.e., cellulose nanowhiskers (CNWs) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) from hardwood bleached kraft pulp (HW-BKP) as reinforcing agent in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based nanocomposite. The CNWs were isolated by sulfuric acid hydrolysis while the CNFs were isolated by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation. Based on measurements using transmission electron microscopy, the individual CNWs were about $6.96{\pm}0.87nm$ wide and $178{\pm}55nm$ long, while CNFs were $7.07{\pm}0.99nm$ wide. The incorporation of CNWs and CNFs into the PVA matrix at 5% and 1% levels, respectively, resulted in the maximum tensile strength, indicating different efficiencies of these CNCs in the nanocomposites. Therefore, these results suggest a relationship between the reinforcing potential of CNCs and their physical characteristics, such as their morphology, dimensions, and aspect ratio.

In this paper, we present a new multilevel in space and energy diffusion (MSED) method for solving multigroup diffusion eigenvalue problems. The MSED method can be described as a PI scheme with three additional features: (1) a grey (one-group) diffusion equation used to efficiently converge the fission source and eigenvalue, (2) a space-dependent Wielandt shift technique used to reduce the number of PIs required, and (3) a multigrid-in-space linear solver for the linear solves required by each PI step. In MSED, the convergence of the solution of the multigroup diffusion eigenvalue problem is accelerated by performing work on lower-order equations with only one group and/or coarser spatial grids. Results from several Fourier analyses and a one-dimensional test code are provided to verify the efficiency of the MSED method and to justify the incorporation of the grey diffusion equation and the multigrid linear solver. These results highlight the potential efficiency of the MSED method as a solver for multidimensional multigroup diffusion eigenvalue problems, and they serve as a proof of principle for future work. Our ultimate goal is to implement the MSED method as an efficient solver for the two-dimensional/three-dimensional coarse mesh finite difference diffusion system in the Michigan parallel characteristics transport code. The work in this paper represents a necessary step towards that goal.

Chromium plating is a common surface treatment technique extensively applied in industry due its excellent properties which include substantial hardness, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, surface color, and luster. In this study, the effect of $MoS_2$ particles of the composite coating was investigated. To improve the lubrication of mold, $Cr-P-C/MoS_2$ composite plating was studied by varying the $MoS_2$ content. The current efficiency of the composite plating incorporated $MoS_2$ particles was increased at $MoS_2$ contents of 0.5 and 1.0 g/l due to the incorporation of fine particles. On the other hand, when the content of $MoS_2$ is 1.0 g/l or more, the current efficiency is lowered due to an increase in impact on the cathode surface. In order to evaluate the mechanical properties of Scratch test were conducted. Scratch test confirmed the lubricity and abrasion resistance characteristics revealed that the composite plating with added $MoS_2$ had relatively low surface roughness and uniform surface modification to improve its properties.
