This research investigated the applicapability of an improved algorithm to calculate the topographic index, ln($\alpha$/tan B), for the topography of Korea employing channel initiation threshold area(CIT) and an exponent for the gradient(H). hanjaechun subwatershed in Cheongdochun and Dongok subwatershed in Wichun test watershed were selected as study areas. The digital elevation models(DEM) of study areas have been made with the resolution from 10m to 100m. Application of CIT to the traditional algorithm provide reasonable computation method in considering channel pixel impact. Introduction of the gradient exponent(H) made it possible to obtain better flow convergence effect in concave topography comparing with the traditional multiple flow direction algorithm. The improved algorithm shows the capability to relax the overestimation problem of rising limb of hydrograph through reducing overestimated high value of topographic index.

3-5족 화합물 반도체는 직접천이형 반도체이며, 여러가지 우수한 특성으로 인하여 고효율의 태양전지물질로 각광을 받고 있다. 또한 3중접합 구조를 이용한 집광형태양전지의 경우, 40% 이상의 높은 효율을 보인다고 보고 되고 있다. 이러한 고효율 태양전지를 실리콘 기판위에 성장할 경우, 대면적에서의 태양전지제작이 가능해지며, 단가절감이 가능할 것이라고 예상된다. 하지만, 하부셀로 사용되는 게르마늄과 실리콘의 4.2%의 격자상수차이로 인하여, 고품질의 게르마늄 박막을 실리콘 기판위에 성장하는 데에 있어서 많은 문제점이 있으며, 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여, 저온에서 성장한 게르마늄 박막을 완충층으로 사용하는 2단계 성장법이 제안되었다. 하지만, 2단계 성장법에서 저온 완충막의 성장조건이 게르마늄 박막에 미치는 영향은 명확하지 않다. 본 연구팀은 초고진공 화학기상증착법을 이용하여 순수 게르마늄 박막을 실리콘 기판 위에 성장하였으며, 저온 완충막의 두께를 20 nm에서 120 nm까지 변화시켜서, 완충막의 두께가 게르마늄박막에 미치는 영향에 대해서 연구해 보았다. 그 결과, 40 nm이하의 두께를 갖는 완충막을 사용할 경우, 박막 내부에 실리콘 게르마늄을 형성하면서, 거친 표면이 형성되었다. 반면에, 40 nm보다 두꺼운 완충막을 사용할 경우 평탄한 표면을 갖는 순수게르마늄박막이 형성되었다. 이를 통해서, 순수 게르마늄박막 성장을 위해서는 일정 두께 이상의 저온 완충막이 사용되어야함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 게르마늄박막의 관통 전위 밀도를 분석해 본 결과 완충막의 두께가 80 nm까지 두꺼워짐에 따라서 초기에는 관통전위밀도가 $1.2\;{\times}\;10^6\;cm^{-2}$ 까지 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 완충막의 두께가 더욱 증가할 경우 관통전위밀도가 증가하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 저온 완충막의 두께를 조절함으로써 최적화된 게르마늄의 성장이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

A polymeric arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) has been proposed and demonstrated by exploiting the nanoimprint method. A PDMS(polydimethylsiloxane) stamp with device patterns engraved was developed out of a master mold made of quartz glass. The device was fabricated by transferring the pattern in the PDMS stamp to a spin-coated polymer film without using any etching process. The device had 8 output channels, while the center wavelengths of each output channel were positioned from 1543.7 nm to 1548.3 nm with the spacing of 0.8 nm. The achieved average channel crosstalk and the 3-dB bandwidth were about 10 dB and 0.8 nm respectively.

The liquid crystalline properties of a series of main chain liquid crystalline polymers and four series compounds consisting of aromatic type Schiff base mesogenic units and polymethylene flexible spacers were studied. The thermal and liquid crystalline properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and on the hot stage of a polarizing microscope. The nature of the liquid crystalline phase of the polymers and compounds depended greatly on the length of the central polymethylene spacer and on the terminal alkoxy groups. Polymers I and Series III exhibited an even-odd effect in melting and isotropization temperatures but Series II and Series IV exhibited an even-odd effect in isotropization temperatures. They formed nematic and smectic mesophases in melts as judged by their optical textures observed through a polarizing microscope.

Instead of using sphere decoding, list sphere decoding (LSD) has been introduced to increase the reliability of log-likelihood ratio (LLR) in recent soft decoding schemes employing iterative detection and decoding (IDD). Although LSD provides improved performance, it does not obtain complexity gain due to signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) increment as it detects large number of lattice points. Especially, its inefficient scenario arises when it has to search for lattice points which have small affect for obtaining LLR with high reliability. In this paper, we study an efficient algorithm to remove such lattice points, which results in complexity reduction based on radius optimization.

A refractive index modulated (RIM) DFB laser, in which the refractive index of a center region of the upper cladding layer comprising the grating region is different from that of side regions, is proposed to obtain and effective ${\lambda}$/4 phase shift in the center region. Since the coupling coefficient of a center region in a RIM-DFB laser is larger than that of side regions, a RIM-DFB laser has the effect of a distributed coupling coefficient. Simulation results show that RIM-DFB lasers have better operation characteristics - more uniform photon density profile, less SHB effect, and better single mode operation at high injection currents - compared to those of ${\lambda}$/4 phase-shifted DFB lasers and CPM-DFB lasers. In addition, the effect of the center region on the above threshold characteristics of a RIM-DFB laser is investigated.

We fabricated and characterized RWG-DFB-LDs emitting at $1.3\mu\textrm{m}$ wavelength. For fabrication of the laser diode, inteference fringe of optical beams was used for grating formation and epi layers were grown by LPE. The fablicated RWG-DFB-LD operated in a single longitudinal mode with more than 30 dB SMSR at 1296.5 nm emitting wavelength and its threshold current was 67 mA. Coupling coefficient (K) was estimated as $40cm^{-1}$ by means of stop-band measurement. Finally, we show that the RWG-DFB-LD fabricated in this experiment can be applicable as light source of 2.5 Gbps optical communication system from the fact that the small signal response of the RWG-DFB-LD rated up to 1.99 GHz at pre-bias level of $1.2 I_{th}$..

We synthesized liquid crystalline polymers containing isosorbide group as a cholesteric derivative and methylene group for controlling the transition temperature to the liquid crystal phase. Effects of the concentration of the isosorbide group and the position of the methylene group on the properties of the liquid crystalline polymer were investigated. Among all the synthesized polymers, polymers (MnHI-x) with a methylene group in the main chain showed higher melting transition temperature and thermal stability than those (SnBI-x) with a methylene group in the side chain. All the synthesized polymers showed an enantiotropic liquid crystal phase. The polymers having 10 mol% isosorbide as a cholesteric liquid crystal phase derivative showed nematic phase, and those having 20 mol% or more isosorbide showed a cholesteric or chiral smectic phase. Thus, we can conclude that the isosorbide group plays a role as a cholesteric liquid crystal phase derivative.

Effect of metallic salts added to the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3-HCl\;or\;{\alpha}-Fe_2O_3-H_2SO_4$ reaction systems were investigated by colorimetric and gravimetric determinations. While reductive salts exhibited remarkably enhanced reaction rate, non-reductive salts showed inhibitive results. We supposed that the improvement of dissolution rate of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ by the addition of $FeCl_2$, a reductive salt, to the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3-HCl$ system can be attributed to the formation of chloro-bridge between $Fe^{3+}\;and\; Fe^{2+}$, and therefore some partial electronic charge transfer from $Fe^{2+}\;to\;Fe^{3+}$ on the surface of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ will be easily achieved through the bridged bond. The transferred charge to the surface will reduce the positive charge of initial $Fe^{3+}$, and also result to reduce the lattice energy of that site. Assuming tothat there is a linear relationship between the lattice energy change and the change of activation energy of the reaction system, the transferred partial electronic charge to $Fe^{3+}$ of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ surface was calculated to be ca. 0.36e.

본 연구에서는 3차원 수리해석과 함께 유사의 이송, 침식, 퇴적 현상을 연동하여 모의할 수 있는 유한차분 수치모형인 EFDC(Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code)를 이용하여 주운하천 구간으로 유입되는 다입경 혼합유사의 입경별 시 공간적 퇴적분포 특성을 고찰하고, 하상변동 예측에 있어서 유사의 밀도와 모델의 유한차분 격자 구조에 의한 불확실성 해석을 수행하였다. 유입 유사의 입경별 공간적 퇴적특성은 하천 하류부와 단면 확대부에서 발생하는 3차원적 수리현상과 매우 밀접한 상관성을 보였으며, 굴포천과 합류하는 주운수로 유입부에서는 대부분 입경이 큰 비점착성 유사($63{\mu}m$ 이상)인 사질(sand)입자들이 주로 퇴적되는 것으로 나타났으며, 주운하천 합류부로부터 하류구간까지는 $4\sim63{\mu}m$ 입자의 실트질(silt) 유사가 대부분 이송되어 퇴적되는 것으로 분석되었다. 점착성 유사인 $4{\mu}m$ 이하의 점토(clay)는 단면이 확대되어 유속이 매우 느린 구간이나 사수역을 중심으로 퇴적되는 것으로 나타났다. 단면 횡방향 분포특성은 굴포천과 주운하천이 합류하는 합류부 구간의 주흐름 방향 남쪽에서 흐름의 정체구간이 발생되어 퇴적이 발생하고, 단면 급확대부 양안에서 사수역이 형성되므로 퇴적이 지배적으로 발생되었다. 하상변동 예측의 불확실성 해석을 위해 유사 밀도값에 대한 민감도 분석결과, 하상변동량은 유사밀도($1.3ton/m^3\sim2.65ton/m^3$)가 감소됨에 따라 약 2배까지 증가하는 것으로 분석되어 민감도가 매우 크게 나타났다. 또한 수치격자 구조의 민감도 분석결과, 수층을 3개 층으로 분석한 결과가 단일층 분석결과보다 최대 6배의 하상변동량이 많게 산정되었다. 이는 수심방향의 유속과 부유사 농도의 불균등 분포특성이 실제 자연현상에 더 가깝게 모의되기 때문으로 판단되었다.
