The corrosion potential in concrete varies greatly with exposure and concrete mix conditions. In this study, RC (Reinforcement Concrete) samples were prepared considering cover depth, chloride concentration, and W/C(water to cement) ratio as variables, and HCP(Half Cell Potential) was measured, which evaluated comparative potential between embedded steel and concrete surface. In addition, OCP(Open Circuit Potential) was measured using buried steel and CE(Counter Electrode). Agar and NaOH solution were used as ion exchange materials and Hg/HgO was used for RE(Reference Electrode), which was more sensitive to temperature than HCP. Among the influencing factors, the exposure period and chloride concentration had a relatively greater effect than cover depth and w/c ratio. Additionally, the entire measured HCP and OCP showed a clearly linear relationship with increasing cover depth and w/c ratio. Through multiple regression analysis, the relationship between HCP and OCP was quantified, and an improved correlation was obtained with temperature effect.

The discrepancies between theoretical values and measured data of PEFC(Proton Exchange Fuel Cell) is carried out for the machine tool power generation. Rudimental approach of theoretical fuel cell open circuit potential using Gibbs free energy is employed for the examination of PEFC module. The stack temperature, stack voltage and stack current are measured during the operation of PEFC module. It is found that stack voltage and current values show the pronounced discrepancy with the results calculated by Gibbs free energy approach. It is analysed that the discrepancy is due to activation polarization, concentration overvoltage and ohmic overvoltage.

An electrolyzed-acidic water treatment was investigated as a methods for removing ammonia, which is a cause of odor in life environment. The prepared electrolyzed-acidic water was found out as stable solvent capable of neutralizing weak alkaline ammonia by measuring changes in pH and ORP. It was found out that ammonia was removed from the mixture solution of electrolyzed-acidic water and ammonia water by the UV-vis absorbance analysis and electrochemical open-circuit potential measurement. The neutralized ammonia by electrolyzed-acidic water and effectively removed odor was measured using ammonia gas detecter. Consequently, we recommend the electrolyzed-acidic water can effectively and safely remove ammonia in eco-friendly.

This paper presents a characterization method for faults of circuit patterns on MCM(Multichip Module) or PCB(Printed Circuit Board) substrates with electron beams of a SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) by inducing voltage contrast on the signal line. The experimentation employes dual potential electron beams for the fault characterization of circuit patterns with a commercial SEM without modifying its structure. The testing procedure utilizes only one electron gun for the generation of dual potential electron beams by two different accelerating voltages, one for charging electron beam which introduces the yield of secondary electron $\delta$ < 1 and the other for reading beam which introduces $\delta$ > 1. Reading beam can read open's/short's of a specific net among many test nets, simultaneously discharging during the reading process for the next step, by removing its voltage contrast. The experimental results of testing the copper signal lines on glass-epoxy substrates showed that the state of open's/short's had generated the brightness contrast due to the voltage contrast on the surface of copper conductor line, when the net had charged with charging electron beams of 7KV accelerating voltages and then read with scanning reading electron beams of 2KV accelerating voltages in 10 seconds. The experimental results with Au pads of a IC die and Au plated Cu pads of BGA substrates provided the simple test method of circuit lines with 7KV charging electron beam and 2KV reading beam. Thus the characterization method showed that we can test open and short circuits of the net nondestructively by using dual potential electron beams with one SEM gun.

On board comparison of pH and total alkalinity measurement in seawater was carried out during the JES expedition on R/V Roger Revelle in the East Sea using 550 real seawater samples from the surface to the bottom. Spectrophotometry and potentiometry without liquid junction were compared for pH measurement. The pH values of two methods are generally in a good agreement. Spectrophotometry with a pipette provides higher value compare with the potentiometry in the deep layer, where pH values are lower. However, spectrophotometry without a pipette shows same values with potentiometry within their precision range. The pipetting procedure may remove of $CO_2$ in the sample, which causes increase of pH. Potentiometric titration methods using a closed-cell and an open-cell were compared for the total alkalinity measurement. Values from open cell method are smaller by about 5~10 ${\mu}mol\;kg^{-1}$ than those from closed cell method. This may be caused by the bubble formed in the closed cell during the experiment. Although any analytical method compared in this study for the pH or TA measurement can be applied, special attentions should be paid for satisfactory results.

Ge 기판을 이용한 GaInP/GaAs/Ge 삼중접합 태양전지는 43.5%의 높은 광전효율을 기록하고 있으며, 이를 지상용 태양광 발전시스템에 이용하려는 연구가 진행 중이다[1]. 그러나, 이러한 다중접합 태양전지는 셀 제작 비용에 있어 Ge기판의 가격이 차지하는 비중이 높고 대면적 기판을 이용하기 힘든 단점이 있다. 한편, 무게, 기계적 강도와 열전도도 측면에서 Si 기판은 Ge 기판에 비해 장점이 있다. 아울러, 상대적으로 낮은 가격의 대면적 기판을 사용할 수 있기 때문에 Si 기판으로 Ge 기판을 대체할 경우 다중접합 태양전지의 높은 제작 비용을 낮추는 효과도 기대할 수 있다. Si 기판의 장점을 취하며 고효율 태양전지를 제작하기 위해, 이번 실험에서 우리는 Ge 에피층이 성장된 Si 기판 위에 GaAs 태양전지를 제작하였다. GaAs, GaInP와 비슷한 격자상수를 갖고 있는 Ge과 달리, Si은 이들 물질(GaAs, GaInP)과 4%의 격자상수 차이를 갖고 있으며 이로 인해 성장과정에서 관통전위가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 관통전위는 소자의 개방전압을 감소시키는 원인으로 작용한다. 실제로 Si 기판 위에 제작된 GaAs/Ge 이중접합 태양전지에서 관통전위 밀도에 따른 개방전압 감소를 확인할 수 있었다. 관통전위로 인한 영향 이외에, Si 기판위에 제작된 태양전지에서는Ge 기판 위에 제작된 태양전지에 비하여 낮은 fill factor가 관찰되었다. 이것은 Si 기판 위에 제작된 GaAs/Ge 이중접합 태양전지가 높은 직렬저항을 가지고 있기 때문이다. 따라서 이번 실험에서는 Si 기판 위에 제작한 GeAs/Ge 이중접합 태양전지의 직렬저항의 원인을 전산모사와 실험을 통하여 규명하였다. TCAD (APSYS-2010)를 이용한 전산모사 결과, Si 기판의 낮은 불순물 농도 ($1{\times}10^{15}/cm^3$)에 따른 직렬저항의 원인으로 파악되었으며, 전류-전압 특성을 측정하여 실험적으로 이를 확인하였다. 이러한 직렬저항 성분을 줄이기 위하여 Si 기판의 p형 불순물 농도가 전류 전압 특성 곡선에 미치는 영향을 전산모사를 통하여 알아보았으며, Si 기판의 불순물 농도가 $1{\times}10^{17}/cm^3$ 이상으로 증가할 경우, 직렬저항 성분이 크게 감소 하는 것을 전산모사 결과로 예상할 수 있었다.

Eco-friendly magnesium-air battery is a kind of metal-air battery known as a primary battery with a very high theoretical discharge capacity. This battery is also called a metal-fuel cell from the viewpoint of using oxygen in the atmosphere as a cathode active material and magnesium alloy as a fuel. Since battery performance is determined by the properties of the magnesium alloy used as a anode, more research and development of the magnesium alloy electrode as a anode material are required in order to commercialize it as a high-performance battery. In this study, the commercialized magnesium alloys(AZ31, AZ61) were selected and then electrochemical measurements and discharge test were conducted. Electrochemical properties of magnesium alloys were investigated by OCP changes, Tafel parameters and CV measurement, and the feasibilities of AZ61 alloy with excellent discharge capacity(1410mAhg^-1) as electrode materials were evaluated through CC discharge experiments.

A structure of a glass electrode-type pH sensor for measuring any concentration of $H^+$ in an aqueous solution was embodied with bulk micromachining technology. Two open well structures were formed, and a reference electrode was secured by the Ag/AgCl thin film in the sloped side of the etched structure. A sensitive membrane of an indicator electrode for generating a potential by an exchange reaction to $H^+$ was made with a glass containing Na 20% or more finely so that its thickness might be $100{\mu}m$ or so, and then it was bonded to one pyramidal structure. A liquid junction for a current path was formed by filling an agar in the anisotropically etched part of the Si wafer, which had a size of $50{\mu}m{\times}50{\mu}m$, and then bonded it to the other. After complete fabrication of each part, it was filled with a 2M KCl reference solution and encapsulated the sensor structure with a cold expoxy. The potential value of fabricated pH sensor was about 90mV/pH in the standard pH solutions.
