Thin film transistors (TFTs) with large-area, high mobility, and high reliability are important factors for next-generation displays. In particular, thin transistors based on IGZO oxide semiconductors are being actively researched for this application. In this study, several methods for improving the reliability of a-IGZO TFTs by applying various materials on a passivation layer are investigated. In the literature, inorganic SiO₂, TiO₂, Al₂O₃, ZTSO, and organic CYTOP have been used for passivation. In the case of Al₂O₃, excellent stability is exhibited compared to the non-passivation TFT under the conditions of negative bias illumination stress (NBIS) for 3 wavelengths (R, G, B). When CYTOP passivation, SiO₂ passivation, and non-passivation devices were compared under the same positive bias temperature stress (PBTS), the Vth shifts were 2.8 V, 3.3 V, and 4.5 V, respectively. The Vth shifts of TiO₂ passivation and non-passivation devices under the same NBTS were -2.2 V and -3.8 V, respectively. It is expected that the presented results will form the basis for further research to improve the reliability of a-IGZO TFT.

Ceramic ink-jet printing has become a widespread technology in ceramic tile and ceramicware industries, due to its capability of manufacturing products on demand with various designs. Generally, thermally stable ceramic inks of digital primary colors(cyan, magenta, yellow, black) are required for ink-jet printing of full color image on ceramic tile. Here, we synthesized an aqueous glass-ceramic ink, which is free of Volatile organic compound(VOC) evolution, and investigated its inkjet printability. $CoAl_2O_4$ inorganic pigment and glass frit were dispersed in aqueous solution, and rheological behavior was optimized. The formulated glass-ceramic ink was suitably jetted as single sphere-shaped droplets without satellite drops. After ink-jet printing and firing processes, the printed glass-ceramic ink pattern on glazed ceramic tile was stably maintained without ink spreading phenomena and showed an improved scratch resistance.

A small scale combustion unit was built to evaluate the CO suppression effects by various chemical additives added to coal briquettes. Among the additives tested comprising various transition metal compounds with catalytic activities, natural minerals and oxidizing agents, the copper component has shown the best CO suppression effect, and in particular, copper oxide dispersed on porous supports such as ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was most effective. For instance, 0.5% of copper added to coal briquettes in this way bas exhibited 1.4 % CO in the combustion gas at the ignition and beginning stage of combustion and 0.3 % CO at the final stage. The effects of calcium compounds on the fixation of sulfur in coal were also evaluated to reduce the contents of sulfur compounds in the combustion gases.

Spin polarized tunneling through a hybrid tunnel barrier of a Spin filter (SF) based on a EuO ferro-magnetic semiconductor and an organic semiconductor (OSC) (rubrene in this case) was investigated. For quasi-magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structures, such as Co/rubrene/EuO/Al, we observed a strong spin filtering effect of the EuO layer exhibiting I-V curves with high spin polarization (P) of up to 99% measured at 4 K. However, a magnetoresistance (MR) value of 9% was obtained at 4.2 K. The low MR compared to the high P could be attributed to spin scattering caused by structural defects at the interface between the EuO and rubrene, due to nonstoichiometry in the EuO.

Dry sliding wear behavior of electro-pressure sintered Fe-Ni and Co-Fe-Ni compacts was investigated. Pin-on-disk wear tests were performed on the sintered Fe-Ni, Co-Fe-Ni disk specimens against alumina $(Al_2O_3)$ and silica $(SiO_2)$ ball counterparts at various loads ranging from 3N to 12N. A constant sliding speed of 0.1m/sec was employed. Wear rate was calculated by dividing the weight loss measured after the test by specific gravity and sliding distance. Worn surfaces and cross sections of them were examined by a scanning electron microscopy, and wear mechanism of the compacts was investigated. Wear characteristics of the compacts were discussed as a function of composition of the compacts. Relationship between the wear rate and mechancial properties of the compact was explored, and effects of the oxide layer that was formed on wearing surface of the compacts on the wear were also studied.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimal condition for granite particle coagulation process by using various chemical coagulation agents. The coagulation of a suspended granite particle was monitored by using various different coagulants, such as $Al_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}14H_2O,{\;}FeCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O,{\;}SA-solution(KOH{\;}+{\;}Al(OH)_3{\;}+{\;}K_2CO_3{\;}mixture)$ and jade particle. To accomplish this study, analysis of water quality, removing Turbidity and Packing Density were measured with jar-tester. In the results of this experiment, it was found that the removal rate of the granite particle was increased with the decrease of the pH of the sludge. The turbidity(NTU) at the above coagulants was reduced from 95% to 98%. Removed of Turbidity and Packing Density was more efficiency to the SA-solution than others.

Alunite was dehydrated at 500~$580^{\circ}C$ and desulfurued at 580~$780^{\circ}C$ in air atmosphere. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the formation conditions of anhydrite ($CaCO_4$) when the mixtures of alunite TEX>$[K_2SO_4$.$Al_2(SO_4)_3$.$4Al(OH)_3$] and limestone ($CaCO_3$)were roasted. Alunite scarcely dected the partial pressures of $CO_2$(g), but limestone was bansformed into CaO at $650^{\circ}C$ in air and $900^{\circ}C$ in saturated $CO_2$(g), atmosphere, respectively. When the the mixtures of 1 mol of alunite and 6 rnol of limestone were roasted for 2 hours at lO00C in air and saturated $CO_2$(g), anhydrite was formed at $550^{\circ}C$ calciumlangbeinite, at $700^{\circ}C$and haiiyne, at 800~$950^{\circ}C$. The formation rate of anhydrite in air and saturated $CO_2$(g), was 99.0 % and 95.0 %, respectively. then the formation rate of anhydrite was not changed in air atmosphere but increased according to the decreasing of the particle size of limestone in saturated $CO_2$(g). Therefore, when the mixture of 1 mol of alunite and 6 rnol of limestone were roasted, the clinker composed of lmol of haiiync and 1 mol of calciumlangbeiilte can be manufactured

The effect of acidity and the metal surface area of the Pd loaded zeolite catalysts; prepared from $Ca^{2+}-,\;La^{3+}-,\;NH_4^+-$exchanged Y and dealuminated HY was studied for the reaction of n-butane. The amount of strong acid site determined by the temperature programmed desorption of ammonia increased in the order NaY < CaY < LaY. Total amount of acid site decreased with increasing degree of dealumination, but the portion of strong acid site increased with increasing $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ ratio. The effective metal surface area determined by the CO adsorption technique was large for those zeolite catalysts having strong acidity. It was found that conversion of n-butane was strongly dependent on the acidity and the effective metal surface area of the catalysts. The fact that the conversion of n-butane was proportional to the effective metal surface area suggests that the dehydrogenation by metallic component is the primary step in the reaction of n-butane.

Highly photosensitive and wide bandgap amorphous silicon oxide (a-$SiO_x$:H) films were developed at low temperature ranges ($100{\sim}150^{\circ}C$) with employing plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition by optimizing $H_2/SiH_4$ gas ratio and $CO_2$ flow. Photosensitivity more than $10^5$ and wide bandgap (1.81~1.85 eV) properties were used for making the a-$SiO_x$:H thin film solar cells, which exhibited a high open circuit voltage of 0.987 V at the substrate temperature of $100^{\circ}C$. In addition, a power conversion efficiency of 6.87% for the cell could be improved up to 7.77% by employing a new n-type nc-$SiO_x$:H/ZnO:Al/Ag triple back-reflector that offers better short circuit currents in the thin film photovoltaic devices.
