In the present communication, pure and stable α-Bismuth Oxide (Bi₂O₃) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by low temperature solution combustion method using urea as a fuel and calcined at 500℃. The synthesized sample was characterized by using powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. The PXRD pattern confirms the formation of mono-clinic, stable and low temperature phase α-Bi₂O₃. The direct optical energy band gap was estimated by using Wood and Tauc's relation which was found to be 2.81 eV. The characterized sample was studied for X-ray/gamma ray shielding properties in the energy range 0.081-1.332 MeV using NaI (Tl) detector and multi channel analyzer (MCA). The measured shielding parameters agrees well with the theory, whereas, slight deviation up to 20% is observed below 356 keV. This deviation is mainly due to the influence of atomic size of the target medium. Furthermore an accurate theory is necessary to explain the interaction of X-ray/gamma ray with the NPs.The present work opens new window to use this facile, economical, efficient, low temperature method to synthesize nanomaterials for X-ray/gamma ray shielding purpose.

하천 복원을 위한 기초 작업으로서 자연 상태에 가까운 하천의 지형학적 특성을 파악하기 위해 과거 및 현재 자료를 이용하여 하천지형학적 분석을 실시하였다. 대상 하천은 미호천과 내성천이다. 분석에 포함된 지형학적 변수는 하곡변수인 곡저폭, 하도 형상변수인 사행도, 강턱하폭, 하도경사, 구성재료 변수인 하상재료, 지배 변수인 강턱유량, 비유수력이며, 지배적인 프로세스가 함께 고려되었다. 분석 결과 두 하천은 비슷한 유역면적을 갖는 모래하천이지만, 곡저폭, 하도 형상변수, 종단적 위치에 따른 지배적인 프로세스 등에서 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 지형학적 변수들 사이의 상호 관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 강턱하폭은 강턱유량에 비례하여 증가하였고, 그 경향성은 기존의 연구 결과와 대체로 일치하고 있다. 강턱유량과 하도경사를 분석한 결과 미호천은 사행하천과 망상하천의 특성을 나타내고 있는 반면, 내성천은 대부분의 구간에서 망상하천에 해당하는 것으로 나타났다. 하도경사와 하폭수심비 관계를 이용하여 지배적인 프로세스를 분석한 결과 미호천은 사구-연흔의 특성을 나타내고 있으나 내성천은 하류에서는 망상하천 특성이 지배적인 반면, 상류에서는 여울-소 내지는 평하상 특성이 지배적인 것으로 나타났다. 과거 자료를 이용한 분석 결과는 정비된 하천의 자료를 이용한 분석 결과에 비해 합리적인 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 HfO₂와 Al₂O₃ 비율을 조절하여 게이트 절연막을 구성하고, 게이트 절연막에 따른 a-ITGZO 박막트랜지스터의 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. HfO₂ 게이트 절연막, HfO₂와 Al₂O₃ 비율이 2:1인 게이트 절연막, HfO₂와 Al₂O₃ 비율이 1:1인 게이트 절연막으로 구성된 a-ITGZO 박막트랜지스터의 전자이동도는 각각 32.3, 26.4, 16.8 cm²/Vs이고 SS 값은 각각 206, 160, 173 mV/dec 이며 히스테리시스 윈도우 폭은 각각 0.60, 0.12, 0.09 V 이었다. 게이트 절연막에서 Al₂O₃ 비율이 높아질수록 a-ITGZO 박막트랜지스터의 히스테리시스 윈도우 폭이 감소했는데, 이는 Al₂O₃ 비율이 높아질수록 게이트 절연막과 채널 박막 사이의 interface trap density가 감소했기 때문이다.

A continuous flow hyperpolarized (HP) $^{129}Xe$ NMR spectroscopy was employed for the first time to investigate $TiO_2$ nanotubes (Ti-NTs) synthesized from commercial nanoparticles with different reaction times. A single peak attributing to channels for Ti-NTs was observed for variable temperature HP $^{129}Xe$ NMR spectra. It was also noted that there is alteration in value for heat of adsorption, ${\Delta}H$ from $12.6{\pm}1.3$ to $16.4{\pm}0.4kJ/mol$ and variation in chemical shift of the xenon adsorbed in channels, ${\delta}_s$ from $120{\pm}2\sim135{\pm}9ppm$ which were closely correlated to channel length and it was shown that P25-24 Ti-NTs with longest channel is most favorite Ti-NTs for Xe adsorption.

The definition of the bandwidth efficiency (BE) of cognitive cooperative network (CCN) is the ratio between a number of the licensed slot(s) or sub-channel(s) used by the unlicensed users to transmit a single data packet from the unlicensed transmitter to unlicensed destination, and from unlicensed relay(s) to unlicensed destination. This paper analyzes and improves the BE in the underlay CCN with a new reactive relay selection under interference and power constraints. In other words, this paper studies how unlicensed cooperative users use the licensed network slot(s) or sub-channel(s) efficiently. To this end, a reactive relay selection method named as Relay Automatic Repeat Request (RARQ) is proposed and utilized with a CCN under interference and power constraints. It is shown that the BE of CCN is higher than that of cooperative transmission (CT) due to the interference and power constraint. Furthermore, the BE of CCN is affected by the distance of the interference links which are between the unlicensed transmitter to the licensed destination and unlicensed relay to the licensed destination. In addition, the BE for multiple relays selection over a CCN under interference and power constraints is also analyzed and studied, and it is shown that the BE of CCN decreases as the number of relays increases.

이 논문에서는 충격성 잡음 감쇄 채널에서 가장 비슷함을 바탕으로 최적 갈퀴수신기를 이끌어 내고, 얼개가 간단한 준최적 갈퀴수신기를 얻는다. 잡음이 충격성이면 충격성 환경을 고려한 갈퀴수신기가 정규 잡음에 최적화된 갈퀴수실기보다 성능이 좋다는 것을 모의실험으로 보인다. 또한, 갈퀴수신기의 가락 수가 늘어날수록, 충격성 환경에 알맞게 만든 갈퀴수신기는 성능이 나아지지만, 정규 잡음에 최적화된 갈퀴수신기는 충격성 환경에서 성능이 떨어짐을 보인다.

Photocurrent enhancement has been investigated in monolayer (1L) $MoS_2$ with PbS quantum dots (QDs). A metal-semiconductor-metal (Au-1L $MoS_2$-Au) junction device is fabricated using a standard photolithography method. Considerably improved photo-electrical properties are obtained by coating PbS QDs on the Au-1L $MoS_2$-Au device. Time dependent photoconductivity and current-voltage characteristics are investigated. For the QDs-coated $MoS_2$ device, it is observed that the photocurrent is considerably enhanced and the decay life time becomes longer. We propose that carriers in QDs are excited and transferred to the $MoS_2$ channel under light illumination, improving the photocurrent of the 1L $MoS_2$ channel. Our experimental findings suggest that two-dimensional layered semiconductor materials combined with QDs could be used as building blocks for highly-sensitive optoelectronic detectors including radiation sensors.

본 논문에서는 부분적 채널 피드백 정보를 이용하는 다중사용자 직교 주파수 분할다중화 시스템의 하향링크 전송성능을 고려한다. 특히, 두 종류의 부분적 채널 정보 궤환 방식을 고려하는데 첫째는 부반송파 당 1비트의 정보만을 이용하는 1비트(1bit per sub-carrier) 궤환 방법과 선택적으로 채널정보를 궤환하는 선택적 궤환(selective feedback) 방법을 비교 분석한다. 사용자당 주어진 피드백 비트 수에 대한 절대적인 비교 분석은 매우 어려우므로 대신에 각 방법에서의 설계 파라미터에 따른 성능 곡선을 분석함으로써 실제 시스템에의 적용에 필요한 정보를 제공하고자 한다.

We report on the fabrication of P3HT-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) for liquid crystal display that consist of $NiO_x$, poly-vinyl phenol (PVP), and Ni for the source-drain (S/D) electrodes, gate dielectric layer, and gate electrode, respectively The $NiO_x$ S/D electrodes of which the work function is well matched to that of P3HT are deposited on a P3HT channel by electron-beam evaporation of NiO powder. The maximum saturation current of our P3HT-based TFT is about $15{\mu}A$ at a gate bias of -30 V showing a high field effect mobility of $0.079cm^2/Vs$ in the dark, and the on/off current ratio of our TFT is about $10^5$. It is concluded that jointly adopting $NiO_x$ for the S/D electrodes and PVP for gate dielectric realizes a high-quality P3HT-based TFT.

In this paper, an artificial stereo extension method that creates stereophonic sound from a mono sound source is proposed. The proposed method first trains deep neural networks (DNNs) that model the nonlinear relationship between the dominant and residual signals of the stereo channel. In the training stage, the band-wise log spectral magnitude and unwrapped phase of both the dominant and residual signals are utilized to model the nonlinearities of each sub-band through deep architecture. From that point, stereo extension is conducted by estimating the residual signal that corresponds to the input mono channel signal with the trained DNN model in a sub-band domain. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated using a log spectral distortion (LSD) measure and multiple stimuli with a hidden reference and anchor (MUSHRA) test. The results showed that the proposed method provided a lower LSD and higher MUSHRA score than conventional methods that use hidden Markov models and DNN with full-band processing.
