Multi-disk data allocation problem examined in this paper is to find a method to distribute a Binary Cartesian Product File on multiple disks to maximize parallel disk I/O accesses for partial match retrieval. This problem is known to be NP-hard, and heuristkc approaches have been applied to obtain sub-optimal solutions. Recently, efficient methods have been proposed with a restriction that the number of disks in which files are stored should be power of 2. In this paper, we propose a new disk Allocation method based on Genetic Algorithm(GA) to remove the restriction on the number of disks to be applied. Using the schema theory, we prove that our method can find a near-optimal solutionwith high probability. We compare the quality of solution derived by our method with General Disk Modulo, Binary Disk Modulo, and Error Correcting Code methods through the simulation. The simulation results show that proposed GA is superior to GDM method in all cases and provides comparable performance to the BDM method which has a restriction on the number of disks.

Dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSCs) have been recognized as an alternative to the conventional p-n junction solar cells because of their simple fabrication process, low production cost, and transparency. A typical DSSC consists of a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) electrode, a dye-sensitized oxide semiconductor nanoparticle layer, liquid redox electrolyte, and a Pt-counter electrode. In dye-sensitized solar cells, charge recombination processes at interfaces between coducting glass, $TiO_2$, dye, and electrolyte play an important role in limiting the photon-to-electron conversion efficiency. A layer of ZTO thin film less than ~200nm in thickness, as a blocking layer, was deposited by DC magnetron sputtering method directly onto the anode electrode to be isolated from the electrolyte in dye-sensitized solar cells(DSCs). This is to prevent the electrons from back-transferring from the electrode to the electrolyte ($I^-/I_3^-$). The presented DSCs were fabricated with working electrode of Ga-doped ZnO glass coated with blocking ZTO layer, dye-attached nanoporous $TiO_2$ layer, gel electrolyte and counter electrode of Pt-deposited GZO glass. The effects of blocking layer were studied with respect to impedance and conversion efficiency of the cells.

본 연구에서, 금 촉매가 4nm 증착된 GaN/$Al_2O_3$ 기판위에 nanowire와 nanowall과 같은 ZnO 나노구조물을 화학기상증착법을 이용하여 합성시켰다. 합성된 ZnO 나노구조물의 형상은 성장시간과 성장온도 조작을 통하여 제어하였다. 합성된 ZnO 나노구조물의 협상을 관찰하기 위해, 전계방출 주사전자현미경을 측정하였다. ZnO 나노구조물은 성장 온도가 $1000^{\circ}C$에서 $1100^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라 불균일한 막, nanowire, nanowall 형태로 형상이 점차적으로 변하였으며, 또한 각각의 성장온도에서 성장 시간이 증가함에 따라 나노와이어의 성장이 두드러지게 나타났다. 또한 합성된 ZnO 나노구조물의 결정성과 광학특성을 X-ray diffraction pattern과 상온 photoluminescence spectrum을 이용하여 각각 분석하였다. 이룰 통하여 합성된 ZnO 나노구조물은 wurzite 결정구조를 가지며, 380nm 영역에서 near band edge emission 에 의한 발광 peak와 500~550nm 영역에서 deep level emission에 의한 발광 peak이 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to improve the seed germination by low temperature and $GA_3$ in $Orostachys$ $japonicus$ A. Berger (Jirisan) and $O.$ $iwarenge$ (Mak.) Hara (Jejuyeonhwa), Korean native plants. Observation of the seeds using a stereo microscope showed that all seeds of the two species have wrinkled surface and oblong shape. Seed size ranged 0.77-1.00/0.25-0.37 mm (length/width), indicating that the seeds are minute seeds. When the seeds of two $Orostachsis$ species were sown into petri-dish and placed in a plant growth chamber of 10, 15, 20, or $25^{\circ}C$, 'Jirisan' showed seed germination below 20% at all temperatures and 'Jejuyeonhwa' 80% at only $10^{\circ}C$. Seed germination of 'Jirisan' increased up to 44% at $10^{\circ}C$ by low temperature ($4^{\circ}C$) storage for 10 days, but decreased again at storage for more than 20 days. The seeds of 'Jejuyeonhwa' showed a large increase in seed germination by low temperature for 20-30 days, which was 95% at $10^{\circ}C$, but low temperature for more than 40 days significantly decreased seed germination. Dipping treatment in GA3 solution of $50-400mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ for different periods (3, 6, 12, and 24 hrs) remarkably improved germination rate and speed in both species, 80-100% in 'Jirisan' and 90-100% in 'Jejuyeonhwa' at all concentrations and dipping times used in this study.

태양전지에서 효율성은 높이고 가격은 낮추기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 효율성 중에서도 single layer에서의 반사율에 초점을 맞추었다. 본 연구에서는 single layer 박막에서의 반사율에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행했다. 적절한 refractive index를 갖는 박막을 사용했을 때, 반사율 감소를 simulation과 실험을 통해서 알 수가 있었으며, MgF2 박막물질을 사용했을 경우, 물질의 refractive index가 낮을수록 반사율이 낮아짐을 알 수 있었다. 시뮬레이션 결과와 실제 실험 결과를 비교했을 때, 실제 실험 결과의 반사율이 약 3%가량 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이는 반사방지막의 증착 불균일성에 기인하는 문제로 생각된다. 또한, refractive index의 차이에 의해 substrate에 따른 최적화 반사율을 얻는 조건이 달라짐을 실험을 통해 확인할 수 있었다. Glass의 경우는 MgF2가 silicon과 GaAs의 경우에는 ZrO2 나 HfO2가 낮은 반사율을 보였다.

In this paper, the design and imprlementation of dual-band power amplifier which is used as a critical part for mobile phone to be simultaneously working at a dual band, 800MHz CDAM and PCS frequency band is described. DC operating point of power FET is limited to Class-B to enable long talk time considering that the tyupical power range of CDMA phones in working is around 10 to Class-B to enable long talk time considering that the typical power range of CDMA phones in working is around 10 to 15dBm, i.e., liner range. The power amplifier which employs two GaAs FETs with good linerity at a low operating point has duplexer cuplexer circuit to separate two frequency bands at input and output stage. Electromagnetic analysis for via holes and coupling between narrow transmission lines is included to design a circuit. Moduld size of 0.96CC($22{\times}14.5{\times}3mm^3$) and maximum module current of 130mA at output power range, 10 to 15dBm are attained. The power amplifer module has achieved ACPR performance with 2 to 3dB marging from IS-95 requirement at output powers, 23.5dBm for PCS and 28dBm for 800MHz CDMA respectively.

Anti-Reflective (AR) thin film coatings of $SiO_2$ (n= 1.48) and $TiO_2$ (n=2.17) were deposited by ion-beam assisted deposition (IBAD) with End-Hall ion source and conventional electron beam (e-beam) evaporation to investigate the effect of deposition method on the refractive indicies (n) of the fIlms. Green-light generation using a GaAs laser diode was achieved via excitation of the second harmonic. The latter resulted from the transmission of the fundamental guided-mode wave of 1064 nm through periodically poled $LiNbO_3$. Large differences in the refractive indicies of each of the layers in the multilayer coating may improve AR performance. IBAD of $SiO_2$ reduced its refractive index from 1.45 to 1.34 at 1064 nm. Conversely, e-beam evaporation of $TiO_2$ increased its refractive index from 1.80 to 2.11. In addition, no fluctuations in absorption at the wavelength of 1064 nm were found. The results suggest that films prepared by different deposition methods can increase the effectiveness of multilayer AR coatings.

O- and Zn-polar ZnO films were grown by DC magnetron sputtering. Growth of high-quality, single-crystal ZnO thin films were confirmed by XRD and pole figure analysis. O-polar ZnO was grown on an $Al_2O_3$ substrate, which was confirmed by a slow growth rate (378 nm/hr), a fast etching rate (59 nm/min), and by the hillocks on the surface after etching. Zn-polar ZnO was grown on a GaN/$Al_2O_3$ substrate, which was confirmed by a fast growth rate (550 nm/hr), a slow etching rate (28 nm/min), and by pits on the surface after etching. Results from the present study show that it is possible to use DC-sputtering to grow ZnO film with the same polarity as other epitaxial growth methods.

The c - axis oriented single crystal of $LiNbO_3$ and $LiNbO_3$ : 5mol%MgO was success-fully grown by Floating zone method using halogen lamp as a heat source. The effects of the sintering condition of the feed rod and the atmosphere gas during the crystal growth on the be havior of the feed rod/melt interface were studied for growing crystal with the high quality, and then, the optimum growth conditions were determined by studying the experimental param eters, such as gas flow rate, pulling rate, rotation speeds of the feed rod and the seed. The grown crystals were analyzed using the chemical etching to observe the tch pattern and the ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) to determine the composition uniformity and the impurity content of Fe. The effects of additive (5 mol % MgO) on the transmittance and refractive index was, also, analyzed. In order to compare the nonlinear optical oharacteristics of $LiNbO_3$ with those of the other optical materials, the nonlinear optical refractive index ($n_2$) was calcu l lated using the measured refractive index.
