Relatively low cycle performance of a conventional $CO_2$ system is partly due to significant increase in friction loss in the expansion process, since the pressure drop across the expansion device is considerably large compared to a conventional refrigeration cycle. To recover friction loss and increase refrigeration effect by providing isentropic expansion, a rotary vane type expander has been designed. Performance of the designed expander has been investigated by numerical simulation. With the pressure condition of 9 MPa/4.5 MPa and inlet temperature of $35^{\circ}C$, volumetric, isentropic, and mechanical efficiencies of the expander are calculated to be 58.1%, 101.1%, and 78.8%, respectively, resulting in total expander efficiency of 46.3%. With this expander, COP of a $CO_2$ refrigeration cycle is estimated to be improved by about 14%.

This study attempted to investigate the value of photoelectric sensors in terms of a defrost-control method. Tests were conducted in a calorimeter room under the heating with the defrost-performance test conditions described in KS C 9306. Accordingly, the photoelectric technology is a competitive defrost-control method that can precisely control the operational defrost cycle using the output voltages that are proportional to the frost height. The heating period is gradually reduced because the complex defrost-control method, for which the sensors initiate the defrosting process and the defrosting process is terminated by the time parameter, could not adjust the net defrosting time by itself. Therefore, a complex defrost-control method, for which the photoelectric sensors start the defrosting process and it is terminated by the temperature parameter, is preferred because of the adjustment of the net defrosting time. Regardless of the defrost-control method, the first defrosting cycle is activated earlier than the times that are determined in the second and third cycles and so on, because the first operation cycle can decide the characteristics of the subsequent cycle.

N-channel metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor field-effect-transistors (MFISFET's) by using $SrBi_2Ta_2O_9$/Silicon Nitride/Si (100) structure were fabricated. The fabricated devices exhibit comfortable memory windows, fast switching speeds, good fatigue resistances, and long retention times that are suitable for advanced ferroelectric memory applications. The estimated switching time and polarization ($2P_r$) of the fabricated FET measured at applied electric field of 376 kV/cm were less than 50 ns and about 1.5 uC/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively. The magnitude of on/off ratio indicating the stored information performance was maintained more than 3 orders until 3 days at room temperature. The $I_DV_G$ characteristics before and after being subjected to $10^11$ cycles of fatigue at a frequency of 1 MHz remained almost the same except a little distortion in off state.

In this study, a convergent heat treatment was performed in certain temperature regions in order to control the microstructures of Nd-rich phases and to reduce thermal stress on grain boundaries which could be caused during expansion and shrinkage of Nd-rich and $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phases. The difference of thermal expansion coefficient between $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ and Nd-rich phases is the mechanism for convergent heat treatment. The Nd-rich phases which were located in junctions could penetrate into the grain boundaries between $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phases due to the difference of thermal expansion coefficient. Through the convergent heat treatment, the microcracks that were observed in cyclic heat treatment were not observed and coercivity was increased to 34.05 kOe at 8 cycles.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a method for the efficient preventive maintenance of aircraft gas turbine engine turbine blades. For this study, the types and characteristics of gas turbine engines and its turbine blades were studied, the turbine blade defect types that caused an In-Flight Shut Down(IFSD) were analyzed, the blade failure rate according to the blade life cycle was analyzed through the Weibull distribution, one of the statistical techniques. Through these research results, it is possible to supplement the problems of the life cycle management and maintenance method of the turbine blade, and to suggest the measures to strengthen the preventive maintenance of the turbine blade. In this analysis, when total cycle of turbine blade exceeds 18,000 cycles, the failure rate is over 98%, and then the special management measures are required.

This study is aimed to investigate the effect of cyclic heat treatment which is special heat treatment on the strength and toughness in Multi-phase(Ferrite-Bainite-Martensite) Ductile cast Irons. Spceimens were austenitized at eutectoid transformation temperature range(${\alpha}+{\gamma}$) for 30min and austempered at $300^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$ for different holding times, and then quenched in ice water to obtain the multi-phase(Ferrite-Bainite-Martensite) structure from various prior structures, which was obtained by various cyclic heat treatments. As the number of cycle in cyclic heat treatment increased, volume fraction of pearlite increased and the its morphology was refined. As the number of cycle in cyclic heat treatment increased, the multi-phase(Ferrite-Bainite-Martensite) was dispersed in whole matrix as refined island phase. Particularly, martensite among the multi-phase gradually became a spherical shape. Good combination in impact energy and tensile strength was detained in $840^{\circ}C-300^{\circ}C-15min$ condition after 10 cycles in cyclic heat treatment, and its multi-phase volume fraction is Ferrite(50%)-Martensite(l3%)-Bainite(37%).

We prepared flexible transparent conducting electrodes by spray coating of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) networks on PET substrate and have demonstrated their use as transparent anodes for flexible organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The flexible CNT electrode produced by spray coating method shows relatively low sheet resistance ($150{\sim}220{\Omega}/sq.$) and high transmittance of ~60% even though it was prepared at room temperature. In addition, CNT electrode/PET sample exhibits little resistance change during 2000 bending cycles, demonstrated good mechanical robustness. Using transparent CNT electrode, it is readily possible to achieve performances comparable to commercial ITO-based OLEDs. This indicates that flexible CNT electrode is alternative anode materials for conventional ITO anode in flexible OLEDs.

In this paper, (P $b_{1-x}$ L $a_{x}$)(Z $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$) $O_{3}$ (X=0-13[at%]) thin film were prepared by the Sol-Gel method, Multiple PLZT thin films were spin-coated on the Pt/Ti/ $SiO_{2}$Si substrate. The electrical properties of the films were investigated for varying the annealing temperature. In the PLZT(11/52/48) specimens, the dielectric ocnstant of 1236 and the polarization reversal time of 460[nm] were obtained and the breakdown of the film did not occur up to 1*10$^{10}$ cycles at the voltage of 7[V] by the bipolar acceleration. The remanent polarization and coercive field decreased with increasing the content of La in the range of 0-13[at%] and thin film of the PLZT(11/52/48) showed the value of 2.56[.mu.C/c $m^{2}$] and 21.1[kV/cm], respectively.ly.y.

[ $Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$ ] (BLT) thin films were prepared by using metal organic decomposition method onto the LaNiO3 (LNO) bottom electrode. Both the structure and morphology of the films were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Even at low temperatures ranging from 450 to $650^{\circ}C$, the BLT thin films were successfully deposited on LNO bottom electrode and exhibited (117) orientation. The BLT thin films annealed as low as $600^{\circ}C$ showed excellent ferroelectricity, higher remanent polarization and no significant degradation of switching charge at least up to $5{\times}10^9$ switching cycles at a frequency of 100 kHz and 5 V. For the annealing temperature of $600^{\circ}C$, the remanent polarization $P_r$ and coercive field were $23.5\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 120 kV/cm, respectively.

Ferroelectric Cerium-substituted $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ thin films with a thickness of 200 nm were deposited using the liquid delivery metal organic chemical vapor deposition process onto a Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrate. At annealing temperature above $600^{\circ}C$, the BCT thin films became crystallized and exhibited a polycrystalline structure. The BCT thin film annealed at $720^{\circ}C$ showed a large remanent polarization ($2P_r$) of $44.56\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ at an applied voltage of 5V. The BCT thin film exhibits a good fatigue resistance up to $1{\times}10^{11}$ switching cycles at a frequency of 1 MHz with applied electric field of ${\pm}5\;V$.
