In this paper we have investigated the guiding properties of photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with a square-lattice of air-holes in the cladding. We have shown numerical results of PCFs with various air hole sizes and hole-to-hole spacings over a wide wavelength range. The group velocity dispersion, effective area and effective refractive index of PCF have been calculated numerically. The waveguide dispersion has greatly affected the group velocity dispersion when hole-to-hole spacing is about $1{\mu}m$. The effective area is quite flat over the wide spectral range whether the hole-to-hole spacing is large or ratio of diameter to pitch is large. From the field distribution, we found that the field is tightly confined within the core region of PCF when the pitch is $3{\mu}m$ and the air-filling fraction is 0.9.

When an electron is transferred to $C_{60}$, the bond structure is distorted due to the electron-lattice interaction and a polaron-like state is formed. The evolution process of the bond distortion is studied by the dynamical equation of atomic lattice, and time-dependent changes of the bond lengths are determined. Then it can be estimated that the relaxation time to form the polaron-like state is a fraction of a picosecond.

Purpose: Various studies have investigated 3-dimensional (3D)-printed implants using Ti6Al-4V powder; however, multi-root 3D-printed implants have not been fully investigated. The purpose of this study was to explore the stability of multirooted 3D-printed implants with lattice and solid structures. The secondary outcomes were comparisons between the 2 types of 3D-printed implants in micro-computed tomographic and histological analyses. Methods: Lattice- and solid-type 3D-printed implants for the left and right mandibular third premolars in beagle dogs were fabricated. Four implants in each group were placed immediately following tooth extraction. Implant stability measurement and periapical X-rays were performed every 2 weeks for 12 weeks. Peri-implant bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV) and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured by micro-computed tomography. Bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and bone area fraction occupancy (BAFO) were measured in histomorphometric analyses. Results: All 4 lattice-type 3D-printed implants survived. Three solid-type 3D-printed implants were removed before the planned sacrifice date due to implant mobility. A slight, gradual increase in implant stability values from implant surgery to 4 weeks after surgery was observed in the lattice-type 3D-printed implants. The marginal bone change of the surviving solid-type 3D-printed implant was approximately 5 mm, whereas the value was approximately 2 mm in the lattice-type 3D-printed implants. BV/TV and BMD in the lattice type 3D-printed implants were similar to those in the surviving solid-type implant. However, BIC and BAFO were lower in the surviving solid-type 3D-printed implant than in the lattice-type 3D-printed implants. Conclusions: Within the limits of this preclinical study, 3D-printed implants of double-rooted teeth showed high primary stability. However, 3D-printed implants with interlocking structures such as lattices might provide high secondary stability and successful osseointegration.

An overview is given on the work of the Laboratory of Nuclear Energy Systems at ETH, Zurich (ETHZ) and of the Laboratory of Thermal Hydraulics at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland on tight-lattice bundles. Two-phase flow in subchannels of a tight triangular lattice was studied experimentally and by computational fluid dynamics simulations. Two adiabatic facilities were used: (1) a vertical channel modeling a pair of neighboring sub-channels; and (2) an arrangement of four subchannels with one subchannel in the center. The first geometry was equipped with two electrical film sensors placed on opposing rod surfaces forming the subchannel gap. They recorded 2D liquid film thickness distributions on a domain of $16{\times}64$ measuring points each, with a time resolution of 10 kHz. In the bubbly and slug flow regime, information on the bubble size, shape, and velocity and the residual liquid film thickness underneath the bubbles were obtained. The second channel was investigated using cold neutron tomography, which allowed the measurement of average liquid film profiles showing the effect of spacer grids with vanes. The results were reproduced by large eddy simulation + volume of fluid. In the outlook, a novel nonadiabatic subchannel experiment is introduced that can be driven to steady-state dryout. A refrigerant is heated by a heavy water circuit, which allows the application of cold neutron tomography.

콘형 복합재 격자 구조체의 강성 평가를 위한 두 종류의 시편 단위 압축 및 인장 시험을 수행하였으며 유한요소해석 결과와 비교하였다. 구조체는 높이별로 반경이 변화하는 콘형이므로 단순 압축 및 인장 시험이 어려우므로 시험 수행이 가능한 형태의 시편 및 지그를 제작하여 시험을 수행하였다. 압축 시험이 가능하도록 단위 격자 구조체를 Subelement 형태로 가공하였으며, 압축 시험을 수행하여 측정된 섬유방향 압축 변형률을 유한요소해석 결과와 비교하여 헬리컬 리브의 강성을 확인하였다. 후프 리브의 강성 평가를 위해서는 구조체에서 후프 링 시편을 가공하여 인장 시험을 수행하였다. 후프 링에 인장 하중을 가하여 굽힘 변형이 크게 발생하도록 하였으며, 두께 방향 섬유체적비를 고려한 유한요소해석 결과와 비교하여 후프 리브의 강성을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we analyze the security of the KMOV public key cryptosystem. KMOV is based on elliptic curves over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_n$ where n = pq is the product of two large unknown primes of equal bit-size. We consider KMOV with a public key (n, e) where the exponent e satisfies an equation ex-(p+1)(q+1)y = z, with unknown parameters x, y, z. Using Diophantine approximations and lattice reduction techniques, we show that KMOV is insecure when x, y, z are suitably small.

A composite plastic, where long metallic fibers are used as filling materials, is transformed from nonconducting to conducting medium as the volume fraction of filling metallic fibers is increased from zero : such drastic change in property is called the percolation. It is desired both for practical and theoretical purposes to understand the physics underlying the percolation and to estimate the percolation threshold that is defined by the minimum volume fraction of the metallic fibers for which the percolation occurs. In this study, percolation thresholds are calculated by Monte Carlo Computer simulation. Both lattice and continuum spaces are considered and detailed microstructures of metallic fibers are modelled as rigid and flexible bodies for both model spaces. Simulations are carried out for wide range of aspect ratios and discussions are given.

Recently, GeSn is drawing great deal of interests as one of the candidates for group-IV-driven optical interconnect for integration with the Si complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) owing to its pseudo-direct band structure and high electron and hole mobilities. However, the large lattice mismatch between GeSn and Si as well as the Sn segregation have been considered to be issues in preparing GeSn on Si. In this work, we deposit the GeSn films on Si by DC magnetron sputtering at a low temperature of $250^{\circ}C$ and characterize the thin films. To reduce the stresses by GeSn onto Si, Ge buffer deposited under different processing conditions were inserted between Si and GeSn. As the result, polycrystalline GeSn domains with Sn atomic fraction of 6.51% on Si were successfully obtained and it has been demonstrated that the Ge buffer layer deposited at a higher sputtering power can relax the stress induced by the large lattice mismatch between Si substrate and GeSn thin films.

연료전지의 성능에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요소 중에 하나가 가스확산층과 촉매층에서 물의 거동이다. 따라서 가스확산층의 특성에 따른 유체의 거동의 변화를 이해하는 것은 연료전지의 성능개선과 가스확산층의 설계를 위한 필수적인 요소이다. 이 연구에서는 가스확산층의 설계요소인 기공도, 굴곡도와 유효확산계수를 수치적으로 계산할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법의 검증을 위하여 지름이 일정한 구형입자를 이용하여 기공도가 다른 다공체를 만들고 구형입자에 Bounceback 조건을 적용한 격자 볼쯔만법 유동해석을 수행하였다. 다공체 내의 유동효과를 나타내는 투과도는 다공체에 의한 압력강하와 평균유속으로 계산하고, 질량이 없는 입자의 평균 다공체 통과 거리로부터 계산한 굴곡도와 기공도를 이용하여 계산한 유효확산계수를 Neale의 이론식과 비교하여 정확하게 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 방법은 실제 다공체의 이미지를 이용한 계산에도 수정없이 이용할 수 있어 연료전지의 성능향상과 설계를 위한 가스확산층의 특성분석에 활용될 수 있다.

We present a new toed phosphor, $Gd_{2-x-y}Li_xEu_yO_3$ with superior luminescent Properties compared to the commercially available red phosphor $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$. The phosphor, with a diameter of about $2\mu\textrm{m}$, consists of the psedospherical particles in a regular array. The photoluminescence measurements as a function of the laser power and the Eu mole fraction were performed at zoom temperature The luminescence intensity linearly increases as both the laser power and the Eu mole fraction Increase. As for the dependence on cathodoluminescence, the incorporation of Eu and Li ions into $Gd_2O_3$ lattice brings about an increase in luminescent efficiency. The highest emission intensity for the phosphor occurs at the applied voltage of 500 V, its value is larger than that of $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ powder by 70%.
