태양전지와 박막 트랜지스터를 위한 유망한 재료로서 수소화된 비정질 실리콘과 나노결정 실리콘 박막이 관심을 받아 왔다. 특히, 수소화된 나노결정 실리콘 박막은 비정질 대비 높은 방향성과 조밀한 구조 덕에 박막 태양전지나 TFT(Thin film transistor) 소자의 성능 향상에 기여할 수 있는 물질로 연구되고 있다. 이러한 박막들은 보통 $SiH_4$같은 Si을 포함한 가스에 다량의 $H_2$를 희석시켜 플라즈마 화학 증착법(PECVD, Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition)에 의해 성장된다. 이러한 CVD증착 방식을 이용하여 결정화된 박막을 얻기 위해서는 대개 높은 수소 희석비를 이용하는 것이 일반적이나, 이러한 공정 방식은 실리콘이 결합되어야 할 결합위치에 bonding energy가 더 높은 수소의 결합을 촉진하게 된다. 이러한 특성은 박막 태양전지에서 효율을 떨어뜨리는 주요 요소로 작용하고 있다.(1) 본 연구에서는 수소의 결합 확률을 낮춘 결정화된 박막을 성장시키기 위해 수소를 대신하여 헬륨을 희석가스로 사용하여 박막을 증착하고 그 특성을 분석해 보았다. 박막의 구조적 특성, 결정화도(Xc), 플라즈마 내 활성 라디칼(Active radical in plasma), Si-H결합 특성, 전도도(Conductivity)와 같은 박막 특성을 알아보기 위해 주사전자현미경(SEM, Scanning Electron Microscopy), 라만 분광기(Raman spectroscopy), 광 방출 분광기(OES, Optical Emission Spectrocopy), 적외선 분광기(FT-IR, Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy), Keithley measurement kit이 사용되었다. 수소를 대신하여 헬륨을 사용함으로써 동일 결정화도 대비 10%이상 낮은 microstructure factor 값을 얻을 수 있었으며 인가되는 RF 전력을 140W까지 증가시켰을 때 약 80%의 결정화도를 관찰할 수 있었다.

This study investigated the effects of cold plasma (CP) treatment on the properties of biopolymer films prepared with defatted mustard meal (DMM films). CP treatments using N₂, O₂, He, Ar, and dry air did not affect the tensile properties, water vapor permeability, color, and morphology of DMM films, whereas the treatments using He and Ar improved their printability. The tensile strength (TS) of O₂- or air-CP-treated DMM films and the elastic modulus (EM) of O₂-, He-, Ar-, or air-CP-treated films were lower than those of the untreated films. An increase in the power of Ar-CP treatment resulted in an increase in EM. The optimum treatment power and time for minimizing yellowness changes by Ar-CP treatment were 420 W and 40 min, respectively. The results demonstrated the potential application of CP treatment to improve the film properties of DMM films and possibly other agricultural by-product-based biopolymer films, making the films more applicable to food packaging.

In a cryogenic propellant tank the pressurant is contracted due to heat loss and the propellant itself evaporates. On a restartable propulsion system such phenomena are more intensive because the propellant contacts with the pressurant on the larger surface during the coast flight. Such heat and mass transfer phenomena should be considered for estimating the amount of pressurant. On the hypothesis that the heat and mass transfer quasi-equilibrium is achieved during the coast flight, the calculation process of the equilibrium pressure is presented. On the process the amount of loaded helium on the Falcon-1 second stage is calculated.

For the liquid rocket propulsion system using liquid oxygen as oxidizer, helium for pressurizing LOX is usually stored in the LOX tank with cryogenic temperature. For that kind of pressurizing system, cryogenic helium is discharged from the immerged pressurant cylinder and passes through the heat exchanger downstream of gas generator. During the process, helium pressurant is heated from cryogenic temperature to high one and supplied to the ullage of propellant tank. To develop the pressurizing system, a cryogenic heating apparatus is needed to simulate the heat exchanger. In this paper, the cryogenic heating apparatus for development of the pressurization system is presented along with its heating test results with cryogenic helium.

In this study, the change of temperature, chemical composition, and helium gas of thermal water in Pohang area was observed from January 2018 to June 2019 in order to interpret the relationship with earthquake events. During observation period earthquakes above M 2.0 within 100 km in a radius from a geothermal well occurred 58 including two earthquake events with a magnitude of 3.0~3.9 and two earthquake events with a magnitude of 4.0~4.9. We introduce a q-factor and earthquake effectiveness (ε) to express the influence of each earthquake as magnitude and distance factors. The geothermal well of 715 m deep was developed in the Bulguksa biotite granite, and the water temperature was observed in the variation from 51.8 to 56.3℃ during monitoring period. At M 4.1 and M 4.6 earthquake events, the increase of geothermal water temperature (𝜟T 2.6~4.5℃) was recorded, and slight change in specific ionic components such as SO₄ and Cl, and of chemical types on the Piper diagram were observed. In the ³He/⁴He vs ⁴He/²⁰Ne diagram, the original mixing ratio of helium isotope before and after the magnitude 4.1 earthquake was slightly changed from 83.0% to 83.2% of crust-origin ⁴He, and the from 16.3% to 16.7% of mantle-origin ³He. Hot-cold water mixing ratio before and after earthquakes by using the quartz and chalcedony solubility curves of the silica-enthalpy mixing model was calculated to interpret the temperature change of geothermal water. The model calculation shows the increase of 6.93~7.72% and 1.65~4.94% of hot water ratio at E1 and E2 earthquakes, respectively. Conclusively, the magnitude of earthquake for observable change in the temperature and helium isotope of thermal water is of 4.1 or higher and q-factor value of 30.0 or higher in the study site.

Recently, alternative and novel energy resources have been developed for use in the future because of the current environmental problems and exhaustion of fossil energy resources. Hydrogen energy has many merits, such as its environmental friendliness, easy storage, and easy production, but it also has disadvantages, in that it is highly combustible and explosive. In this study, a test procedure using a simple SP test under highly pressurized hydrogen gas conditions was established. In order to evaluate its applicability, SP tests were carried out using a stainless steel (SUS316L) sample under atmospheric, pressurized helium, and pressurized hydrogen gas conditions. The results under the pressurized hydrogen gas condition showed fissuring and produced a reduction of the elongation in the plastic instability region due to hydrogen embrittlement, showing the effectiveness of the current in-situ SP test.

수소가 아닌 헬륨을 희석 가스로 사용하여 나노결정질 실리콘박막을 증착하였고 압력과 RF power에 따른 특성을 살펴보았다. 특히, 4 Torr이상의 공정압력과 낮은 $SiH_4$ 유량을 사용하여 high pressure depletion(HPD)조건을 구현하였다. 그 결과, 6 Torr의 압력과 100W의 RF power를 사용하여 67%의 결정화도와 0.28nm/s의 증착속도를 얻었다.
