The structure and dielectric properties of poled <001>-oriented 0.7Pb($Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-0.3PbTiO_3$ (PMN-0.3PT) crystals have been investigated for orientations both parallel and perpendicular to the [001] poling direction. An electric field induced monoclinic phase was observed for the initial poled sample. The phase remained stable after the field was removed. A quite different temperature dependence of dielectric constant has been observed between heating and cooling due to an irreversible phase transformation. The results of mesh scans and temperature dependence of the dielectric constant demonstrate that the initial monoclinic phase changes to a single domain tetragonal phase at 370K and to a paraelectric cubic phase at 405K upon heating. However, upon subsequent cooling from the unpoled state, the cubic phase changes to a poly domain tetragonal phase and to a rhombohedral phase. In the ferroelectric tetragonal phase with a single domain state, the dielectric constant measured perpendicular to the poling direction was dramatically higher than that of the parallel direction. A large dielectric constant implies easier polarization rotation away from the polar axis. This enhancement is believed to be related to dielectric softening close to the morphotropic phase boundary and at the phase transition temperature.

A single phase to three phase power converter with cost effective and simple structure is proposed. The converter consists of rectifier and inverter. The rectifier is composed of a half wave rectifier, a dc link capacitor, and a current limiting inductor, and the inverter is of only two switches with PWM control. For negative sequence operation the inverter output voltage leads the line input by $60^{\circ}$, and for positive sequence operation the inverter output voltage leads by $60^{\circ}$. We can see that positive sequence operation shows higher output voltage, slight harmonic distortion(2%), and better performances such as high efficiency and high power factor. A mathematical model for system analysis is provided, and specifications for selection and control scheme both for start-up and for steady state are analyzed. comparison and operational limits of positive and negative sequence operation are performed, and simulations and experiments are executed to verify the proposed.

The pervaporation behavior of EtOH/Water mixture through IPN membranes was predicted in this study. The pervaporation characteristics of single polymer membrane were modeled according to the "six-coefficients model" proposed by Brun. In the case of the IPN membrane, two models were proposed according to the phase structure of the IPN. For a uniphase membrane with no phase separation, the compositional average of the single polymer membrane was used. in the case of the phase separated IPN's two cases existed. The first was the island and sea model: in which one phase was continuous and the other was dispersed. The second was the co-continuous model where two continuous phases existed. For these cases, the permeation rate and the separation factor of the IPN membrane were calculated using the experimental sorption data and the cornponent polymer properties. Comparison with the experimental data indicated that these models could be used to predict the performances of IPN membranes depending on the morphology of the IPN.

The optical properties of (1210) GaN epitaxy films grown on the (1012) $\alpha-A1_2O_3$ substrates have been studied. The hetero-epitaxy films were grown by the halide vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) method using $Ga/HC1/NH_3/He$ system at $990^{\circ}C$. XRD, RHEED and SEM are used for the identification of the hetero-epitaxy films structure and surface morphology. The confirmed (1210) GaN epitaxy films were characterized by PL and Raman. By the Raman scattering, the active phonon modes of single-phase GaN films are varied with the arrangement of both polarization and propagation directions of laser beam with reference to the axis in single-phase crystal films. The Y(Z, Y & Z) X geometry allows scattering pat-terns of $A_1(TO)=533\;cm^{-1},\;E_1(TO)=559\;cm^{-1}\;and\;E_2=568 cm^{-1}$ modes, whereas in the Z(Y, Y & Z) X geometry the only $E_2$ mode are observed.

This paper shows the characteristic analysis of single-phase LSPM(Line Start Permanent Magnet) synchronous motor considering overhang structure. To obtain the dynamic and steady performance of the motor, the D-Q equivalent circuit is used and the circuit parameters are extracted by 3D FEM. The performance of the model with overhang is compared with conventional model without overhang on the condition that both models have the same volume of the permanent magnet.

Single crystalline copper nanowires are subjected to bending tests using molecular dynamics simulations and the embedded atom method. To observe behaviors of nanowire, bending tests are performed for various rates of deflection and different boundary conditions: fixed-free and fixed-fixed. When the deflection of nanowire becomes large, twinnings and dislocations appear, and <100> crystal structure transforms to <110>. At high rates, phase transformation occurs in whole nanowire. But, at low rates, atomic structure changes to <110> phase partially. The final deformed structures are affected by the rate of deflection and boundary conditions. These effects can be important design parameters at nanoscale.

Three types of structural intermetallic compounds, $Ni_3Al$, NiAl and TiAl, having each single phase structure without pores were produced by arc-melting process. Their sliding wear properties were investigated against a hardened tool steel. It was shown that the wear of the intermetallic compounds was hardly occurred against the hardened tool steel. TiAl compound showed the best wear resistance among them. In this case, wear was preferentially occurred on the surface of the hardened tool steel of the mating material which has higher hardness. It could be found that the wear mode on intermetallics without pores by arc-melting process was different from that on its porous layer coated on steel by combustion synthesis.

This paper proposes an initial rotor polarity detection algorithm of a single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (SP-PMSM) related to stable open-loop starting for sensorless operation. Generally, the SP-PMSM needs an asymmetric air-gap structure to can avoid the initial starting failure at zero torque point. Therefore, the rotor polarity information can be obtained by using the DC offset current direction of a stator current through a high frequency voltage injection into an SP-PMSM with an asymmetric air gap. In this paper, the proposed rotor initial polarity detection algorithm is verified through several experimental results.

This paper proposes a multiphase interleaved zero-voltage-transition boost converter with a single soft-switching cell for high-voltage DC-DC converter (HDC) of fuel cell systems. The proposed single soft-switching cell structure can reduce the system volume by minimizing the passive and active elements added even in the multiphase-interleaved structure. To analyze the feasibility of the proposed structure, this paper mathematically analyzes the operation modes of the converter with the proposed single soft-switching cell structure and presents guidelines for design and considerations. In addition, the feasibility of the 210[kW] HDC was confirmed through PSIM simulation, and the system volume reduction of up to 10.48% was confirmed as a result of the 5[kW] HDC test-bed experiment considering the fuel cell system. Through this, the validity of the proposed structure was verified.

Optical and electrical properties of the $In_2Se_3$ single crystals grown by use of the Bridgman technique were examined in the transition temperature range between $\alpha$-phase and $\beta$-phase. $In_2Se_3$ single crystal has the rhombohedral structure and lattice constants are a=4.025 $\AA$, c=28.771 $\AA$ in C-axis. The transition temperatures of the stoichiometric $In_2Se_3$ single crystal is $10^{-2}{\Omega}cm^{-1}$ according to the specimens. However it varies rapidly in the transition region.
