This paper investigated the practical use for measuring the structural intensity (power flow per width of cross section) in a uniform semi-infinite beam in flexural vibration. The structural intensity is obtained as a vector at a measurement point, One-dimensional structural intensity can be obtained from 4-point cross spectral measurement, or 2-point measurement on the assumption of far field. The measurement errors due to finite difference approximation and phase mismatch of accelerometers are examined. For precise measurements, it would be better to make the value of k$\delta$(wave number x space between accelerometers) between 0.5 and 1.0. Formulation of the relation between bending waves in structures and structural intensity makes it possible to separate the wave components by which one can get a state of the vibration field. Experimental results are obtained from 2- and 4-point measurement performed at 200mm (near field) and 400mm (far field) apart from excitation point in random excitation. the results are compared with the theoretical values and measured values of input power spectrum in order to verify the accuracy of structural intensity method, 2-point method is suggested as the practical structural intensity method.

In this paper, a new circuit is proposed to minimize the charging and discharging current mismatch in charge pump for UWB PLL application. By adding a common-gate and a common-source amplifier and building the feedback voltage regulator, the high driving charge pump currents are accomplished. The proposed circuit has a wide operation voltage range, which ensures its good performance under the low power supply. The circuit has been implemented in an IBM 0.13um CMOS technology with 1.2V power supply. To evaluate the design effectiveness, some comparisons have been conducted against other circuits in the literature.

This paper presents a wideband Current-Reused Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) with 2-Step Automatic Amplitude Calibration (AAC). Tuning range of the proposed VCO is from 1.95 GHz to 3.15 GHz. The mismatch of differential voltage is within 0.6 %. At 2.423 GHz, the phase noise is -116.3 dBc/Hz at the 1 MHz offset frequency with the current consumption of 2.6 mA. The VCO is implemented $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The layout size is $720{\times}580{\mu}m^2$.

Strong exciton-photon coupling in microcavities have generated an intense research effort since quasiparticles called exciton polaritons are produced and shows interesting phenomena. Most of studies have been done with GaAs based microcavities at cryogenic temperature. Recently, GaN material which has large exciton binding energy and oscillator strength has much attention because strong coupling between photon and exciton could be realized at room temperature. However, fabrication of high quality microcavity using GaN is challengeable due to the large mismatch between the lattice and the thermal expansion coefficient in GaN based distributed Bragg mirror. Here, we observed strong coupling regime of exciton-photon in GaN micro-rods which were grown by metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy (MOCVD) on Si substrate. Owing to the hexagonal cross-section of micro-rod, whispering gallery modes of photon are naturally formed and could be coupled with exciton in GaN. Using angle-resolved micro-photoluminescence measurement, exciton polariton dispersion curves were directly observed from GaN micro-rod. We expect room temperature exciton polariton condensation could be realized in high quality GaN micro-rod.

In design of a digital current controller for a 3cP PWM converter, its conventional model is used in obtaining i its discretized version. But, it has errors since the characteristics of SVPWM and time delay are not taken i into consideration. In this paper, the new reference frame model of a 3c~ PWJVI converter is proposed C considering these problems. Also, the direct digital current controller based on this model is designed without a any extra algolithm. A simple tuning algorithm for the proposed current controller is given to compensate the i inductaηce mismatch problem. Then simulation and experimental results show the validity of the algolithm.

The interrelationship between new parameter ${\sigma}$ and maximum diameter $D_{max}$ is elaborated and discussed in comparison with four other glass forming ability (GFA) parameters, i.e. (1) super-cooled liquid region ${\Delta}T_x (=T_x - T_g)$, (2) reduced glass transition temperature $T_{rg} (=T_g/T_l)$, (3) K parameter $K (=[T_x-T_g]/[T_l -T_x])$, and (4) gamma parameter ${\gamma}(=[T_x]/[T_l+T_g])$ in Ca-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) systems. The ${\sigma}$ parameter, defined as ${\Delta}T^*{\times}P^'$, has a far better correlation with $D_{max}$ than the GFA parameters suggested so far, clearly indicating that the liquid phase stability and atomic size mismatch dominantly affect the GFA of Ca-based BMGs. Thus, it can be understood that the GFA of BMGs can be properly described by considering structural aspects for glass formation as well as thermodynamic and kinetic aspects for glass formation.

A new fabrication method is proposed to form the stacked polysilicon gate by nitridation in $N_2$ atmosphere using conventional LP-CVD system. Two step stacked layers with an amorphous layer on top of a polycrystalline layer as well as three step stacked layers with polycrystalline films were fabricated using the proposed method. SIMS profile showed that the proposed method would successfully create the nitrogen-rich layers between the stacked polysilicon layers, thus resulting in effective retardation of dopant diffusion. It was observed that the dopants in stacked films were piled-up at the interface. TEM image also showed clear distinction of stacked layers, their plane grain size and grain mismatch at interface layers. Therefore, the number of stacked polysilicon layers with different crystalline structures, interface position and crystal phase can be easily controlled to improve the device performance and reliability without any negative effects in nano-scale CMOSFETs.

The final goal of this study is to develop the core technologies applicable to the design, operation and maintenance of welds in nuclear structures. This study includes predicting microstructure changes and residual stress for welded parts of nuclear power plant components. Furthermore, researches are performed on evaluating fatigue, corrosion, and hydrogen induced cracking and finally constructs systematically integrated evaluation system for structural integrity of nuclear welded structures. In this study, metallurgical and mechanical approaches have been effectively coordinated considering real welding phenomena in the fields of welds properties such as microstructure, composition and residual stress, and in the fields of damage evaluations such as fatigue, corrosion, fatigue crack propagation, and stress corrosion cracking. Evaluation techniques tried in this study can be much economical and effective in that it uses theoretical/semi-empirical but includes many additional parameters that can be introduced in real phenomena such as phase transformation, strength mismatch and residual stress. It is clear that residual stress makes great contribution to fatigue and stress corrosion cracking. Therefore the mitigation techniques have been approached by reducing the residual stress of selected parts resulting in successful conclusions.

This paper describes the effect of the mixing ratio of starting materials and the growth parameters of magnetic garnet films by LPE on the properties of the films and suggests the conditions to obtain the films suitable for the Faraday rotators of the optical CTs. The properties of the films investigated for the evaluation of the films were thickness, surface morphology, X-ray diffraction, lattice constant, lattice mismatch between film and substrate (single crystal nonmagnetic wafer), and Faraday rotation angle. Optical CTs have been fabricated and evaluated using the films grown.

A new design for easily controlling operating frequency of an antenna-integrated planar oscillator is introduced. The oscillator circuit of a broadband negative-resistance active part and a passive load including a patch antenna. The patch resonance is used for determining the oscillation frequency. This design reduces the possibility of mismatch between antenna radiation and oscillation frequencies. To achieve optimum output power, load-pull simulation for the negative-resistance circuit is used. The load-pull simulation shows the feed point and the delay of feed line can affect the oscillation power. Two negative-resistance circuits capable of supporting oscillation over full C-band and X-band are fabricated. The oscillation frequency, output power and phase noise for different patch antennas are measured.
