Band engineering of a nanowire is related to the question what is the minimum size of a nanowire-based device. At the subnanometer scale, there has been a long standing problem whether it is possible to both control an energy band of an isolated nanowire by a dopant and measure it using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). This is because an extra atom in the subnanometer wire plays as a defect rather than a dopant and it is challenging to assemble isolated subnanometer wires into an array for an ARPES measurement. We demonstrate that only one of multiple metallic subnanometer wires canbe controlled electronically by a dopant maintaining the whole metallic bands of other wires, which was observed directly by ARPES. Here,the multiple metallic subnanometer wires were produced on a stepped Si(111) surface by a self-assembly method. The selective band engineering proves that the selectively-controlled metallic wire is nearly isolated electronically from other metallic wires and an electronic structure controlcan be realized down to subnanometer scale.

The technology of wire explosion have been used to product nanopowders. A new concept was proposed to produce metallic nanosized powders, which is wire explosion in liquid media. We have exploded the Ag or Cu wires of diameter of O.3mm, 40mm long, in the de-ionized water or acetone, respectively. Electrical energy of 1.1kJ was stored in 10uF capacitor and released to the wires through a triggered spark gap switch. The process was observed by high-speed camera. Those images showed that the powders were generated by vapor condensation in the shell formed by shock wave in the water. The particles were directly dispersed into the water with collapse of the shell. The sizes of Ag and Cu nanopowders were evaluated to 35nm and 17nm, respectively.

The aim of the present study is to investigate experimentally the mechanism of an exploding wire in water and also to observe the bubble motion induced by an exploding wire. The experiment of an exploding wire is carried out in a water tank. As a metallic wire, a tungsten wire of 0.2mm in diameter and 10mm in length is employed. The electric energy of 50-300J is fed to the wire from a capacitor of 100$\mu$F charged up to 1-2.5kV. The explosion is recorded by a CCD camera with the resolution of 1$\mu$sec. The explosion process of metallic wire is divided into three phases. Phase 1 : As the voltage is applied to the wire, the temperature increases due to Joule heating and the wire emits light. Phase 2 : Then the wire melts and the cylindrical plasma is formed between the electrodes. Up to this stage, strong light emission is observed. Phase 3 : The light emission goes out and a vapor bubble begins to grow spherically. The radius of a bubble oscillates in time, but the amplitude of oscillation diminishes in several cycles.

This study investigated the effect of wire diameter and applied voltage on the fabrication of Ni-free Fe-based alloy nano powders by employing the PWE (pulsed wire evaporation) in liquid, for high temperature oxidation-resistant metallic porous body for high temperature particulate matter (or soot) filter system. Three different diameter (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mm) of alloy wire and various applied voltages from 0.5 to 3.0 kV were main variables in PWE process, while X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning microscope (FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to investigate the characteristics of the Fe-Cr-Al nano powders. It was controlled the number of explosion events, since evaporated and condensed nano-particles were coalesced to micron-sized secondary particles, when exceeded to the specific number of explosion events, which were not suitable for metallic porous body preparation. As the diameter of alloy wire increased, the voltage for electrical explosion increased and the size of primary particle decreased.

The electromagentic characteristics of antennas in the complicated metallic structures were analyzed using the electric field integral equation. The accurancy of computer program was confirmed by comparing the computation result with NELC brass model study. And computation result of antenna characteristics in metallic structures was in good argreement with our measuring result.

반도체 칩과 패키지는 wire로 연결되는데, 이 때 반도체의 용도에 따라 다양한 wire와 pad의 조합이 사용되며, 이 두 개의 다른 금속물질 결합부위는 IMC(Inter Metallic Compound)를 형성하게 된다. 그러나, 결함 및 오염 등에 의하여 인접재료의 원자들이 이동하는 확산(Diffusion)이 발생하게 되어 IMC가 성장하고, 두 개의 금속물질간의 확산율은 상호 다르며, 확산율은 온도에 따른 함수가 된다. Au wire와 Ag pad를 이용하여 제조한 IR 수신모듈를 대상으로 3가지 고온조건에서 가속수명시험을 실시하였고, 각 온도별 수명분포를 바탕으로 가속계수와 활성화에너지 도출 및 정상온도에서의 수명도 예측할 수 있었다.

Pulsed wire evaporation (PWE) method is known as the promising production-technique for nanopowders. In this study, we developed and modified the previous single wire explosion equipment to the simultaneous two-wire explosion one for the fabrication of alloy or mixture of nano metallic powder. First of all, both the theoretical and empirical background of pulsed wire explosion of single wire were summarized, and compared with our experimental results for Cu and Al single wlre explosion. After then, the simultaneous wire evaporation equipment was designed, constructed, and tested. The current and voltage behavior were well matched between the calculated ones from the circuit equations, and the experimental results from simultaneous explosion of Cu and Al wire.

Electrical wire explosion in liquid media is a promising method for producing metallic nanopowders. It is possible to obtain high-purity metallic nanoparticles and uniform-sized nanopowder with excellent dispersion stability using this electrical wire explosion method. In this study, Ni-Fe alloy nanopowders with core-shell structures are fabricated via the electrical explosion of Ni-Fe alloy wires 0.1 mm in diameter and 20 mm in length in de-ionized water. The size and shape of the powders are investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and laser particle size analysis. Phase analysis and grain size determination are conducted by X-ray diffraction. The result indicate that a core-shell structured Ni-Fe nanopowder is synthesized with an average particle size of approximately 28 nm, and nanosized Ni core particles are encapsulated by an Fe nanolayer.

The migration of metallic devices such as Kirschner's wire (K-wire) from the shoulder is a well-recognized and significant complication of operation, the wire ending up in the lungs, the heart, the esophagus, the aorta or the subclavian artery. However, spinal migration is very rare. We report the case of a 72-year-old female patient with K-wire migration into the C7-T1 intervertebral foramen, 2 months after surgery for a lateral end fracture of left clavicle.
