The initial stage of copper electrodeposition has been known to be very important role for morphology and physical properties after final growth. The factors affecting the nucleation are electrode, current density, electrolyte and temperature. Current studies has illuminated the initial nucleation of copper electrodeposition in the viewpoint of the surface status of electrode and analyzed using EIS and SEM observation

In order to clarify the heat annealing process for Magnesium Oxide (MgO), cathodoluminescent (CL) analysis was performed. Our results in the present work prove that the heat annealing has effects on not only removing water from the surface of MgO, but also increasing density of O and Mg defect pairs. It is the first work that the influence of annealing process on physical properties of the vacuum evaporated MgO thin films by using CL spectra.

The absorption coefficient of contrast media was meassured region of diagnostic radiology. Relative values of absorption coefficient was fecund the largest peak in the range of 60 ∼ 70kVp for sodium sulfate and 60kVp for iodine. Increasing the thickness of contrast media and patient the values of absorption coefficient was rising.

The Physical and magnetic properties such as microstructure, permeability and power loss of Ni-Zn ferrite with composition of $Ni_{0.8}Zn_{0.2}Fe_2O_4$, were investigated as the function of $Bi_2O_3$ and CaO contents. The power loss increased in proportion to the amount of $Bi_2O_3$ up to 0.3 wt% but it decreased over than 0.3 wt% addition. The highest permeability of 134 was obtained to the specimen added 1.0 wt% $Bi_2O_3$ since $Bi_2O_3$ contents were strongly dominant to grain growth and size than that of CaO. $Bi_2O_3$ liquid phase created during sintering process promoted sintering and grain growth so that grain size and permeability increased compared to that of the specimens which were sintered with free-additive and CaO. Also, lots of pores existed in the specimen which was added $Bi_2O_3$ wt% with the biggest grain size.

Ceramic thin films are key materials for fundamental electronic devices such as transistors and capacitors which are highly important for the state-of-the-art electronic products. Their characteristic dielectric properties enable accurate control of current conduction through channel of transistors and stored charges in capacitor electrodes. The electronic conduction in ceramic thin films is one of the most important part to understand the electrical properties of electronic device based on ceramic thin films. There have been numerous papers dealing with the electronic conduction mechanisms in emerging ceramic thin films for future electronic devices, but these studies have been rarely reviewed. Another interesting electrical characterization technique is one based on electrical pulses and following transient responses, which can be used to examine physical and chemical changes in ceramic thin films. In this review, studies on various conduction mechanisms through ceramic thin films and electrical characterization based on electric pulses are comprehensively reviewed.

In this study, the conductive paste used in a wide range such as wiring in the electronic packaging field, the automobile industry, and electronic products is manufactured under various process conditions due to the simplicity of the process, and then the thermal, mechanical, and electrical characteristics are analyzed and simulation studies are conducted to optimize the process. to establish the conditions of the conductive paste manufacturing process. First, a conductive paste was prepared by setting various types of binder resin, an essential component of the conductive paste, and characteristics such as thermal conductivity, tensile strength, and elongation were analyzed. Among the binder resins, the conductive paste applied with a flexible epoxy material had the best physical properties, and a simulation study was conducted based on the physical property data base of the conductive face. As a result of the simulation, the best physical properties were exhibited when the Ag flake volume fraction was 60%.

Recently, Lee et al. claimed that LK-99 isthe first room-temperature superconductor at ambient pressure, which quickly captured the attention of both the scientific community and the general public. We tried to replicate Pb_10-xCu_x(PO₄)₆O, called as LK-99, and characterized its physical properties by measuring the electrical resistance and Meissner effect. The electrical resistance results for different batches exhibited structural phase transitions at different temperatures, and the magnetic measurements indicated weak diamagnetism at 300 K, which is weaker than that of water. Taken together with the structural analysis, these results suggest that the resistivity transitions are incurred by Cu-S compound generated as a byproduct during the synthesis of LK-99 and LK-99 is not a room-temperature superconductor.

This paper describes the physical properties of filled Nylon6 composites resin with nano-sized carbon black particle and graphite nanofibers prepared by melt extrusion method. In improving adhesions between resin and fillers, the surface of the carbon filler materials were chemically modified by thermo-oxidative treatments and followed by treatments of silane coupling agent. Crystallization temperature and rate of crystallization increased with increases in filler concentration which would act as nuclei for crystallization. The silane treatments on the filler materials showed effect of reduction in crystallization temperature, possibly from enhancement in wetting property of the surface of the filler materials. Percolation transition phenomenon at which the volume resistivity was sharply decreased was observed above 9 wt% of carbon black and above 6 wt% of graphite nanofiber. The graphite nanofibers contributed to more effectively in an increase in electrical conductivity than carbon black did, on the other hand, the silane coupling agent negatively affected to the electrical conductivity due to the insulating property of the silane. Positive temperature coefficient (PTC) phenomenon, was observed as usual in other composites, that is, temperature increase results conductivity increase. The dispersity of the fillers were excellently approached by melt extrusion of co-rotational twin screw type and it could be illustrated by X-ray diffraction and SEM.

Chalcogenide glass has superior property of optical transmittance in the infrared region. Glass made using Ge-Se how many important optical applications. We have determined the composite formular of $Ge_{0.25}Se_{0.75}$ to be the GeSe chalcogenide glass composition appropriate for IR lenses. Also, the optical, thermal and physical characteristics of chalcogenide glass depended on the composition ratio. GeSe bulk sample is produced using the traditional melt-quenching method. The optical, structural, thermal and physical properties of the compound were measured by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) respectively.

Photovoltaic devices are promising candidates as affordable and large-area renewable energy sources, which can replace the fossil-fuel-based resources. Especially, thin film solar cells have attracted increasing research attention, since they have a great advantage of low production cost. From the physical point of view, the photovoltaic devices can provide us interesting questions, how to enhance the light absorption and the carrier collection efficiency. A lot of approaches would be possible to address these issues. We have focused on two major topics relevant to photovoltaic device physics; (1) light management using surface plasmons and (2) junction characterizations aiming at proper interface engineering. Regarding the first topic, we have investigated the influences of Ag under-layer morphology on optical properties of ZnO thin films. The experimental results suggested that coupling between the surface plasmon polaritons at the ZnO/Ag interface and excitons in ZnO should play important roles in reflectivity of the ZnO/Ag thin films, which are widely used back reflector structures in thin film solar cells. For the second topic, we have carried out scanning probe microscopy studies of Schottky junctions consisting of photovoltaic materials. Such a research is very helpful to understand the correlation between the defects (e.g., grain boundaries) and local electrical properties. We will introduce some of the recent experimental results and discuss the physical significance.
