The importance of heat dissipation for the electric device modules along the thickness direction is increasing. Two types of two-layered materials, metal-metal bonding and dielectric-metal bonding, have been fabricated by roll bonding process and a thermal diffusivity of the specimens was measured along the thickness direction. The thermal diffusivity of specimens with metal-metal bonding measured by light flash analysis (LFA) showed a same value independent on the direction of heat flow. However, the thermal diffusivity of specimens with dielectric-metal bonding showed a big difference of 17.5% when the direction of heat flow changed oppositely in the LFA process. The measured thermal diffusivity of specimens when the heat flows from metal to dielectric direction showed smaller value of 17.5% compared to the value when the heat flow from dielectric to metal direction. The difference in thermal diffusivity of specimens with dielectric-metal bonding dependence on direction of heat flow is due to the electron-phonon resistance that occurred transfer process of electron energy to phonon energy near the interface.

This study was to examine the thermodynamic features of polyelecrolytic adsorption of polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin(PAE) in a papermaking wet-end. The PAE adsorption experiments were conducted in a stirred jar containing an aqueous fibrous suspension and evaluated in terms of Langmuir and Freundlich parameters. The electrokinetic property of a stock was examined by measuring the zeta potential of each colloidal suspension. The polyelectrolytic PCD titration was employed to determine the adsorbed amounts of PAE polymer. The zeta potential of a stock, being varied significantly depending upon the addition of PAE polymer, showed initially a sharp increase and later an exponential decay as a function of time . The PAE adsorption exhibited a pseudo-Langmuir adsorption behavior at$20^{\circ}C$ , whereas its Freundlich power(v) increased in a proportional way at an elevated temperature. The train numbers calculated on the basis of adsorption thermodynamics were 7 to 8. The length of the extended loop of PAE was calculated as 215 nm at $20^{\circ}C$ and increased at a rate of 9% at every $10^{\circ}C$ rise in temperature. The PAE adsorption was proven to be an exothermic physisorption with the estimated adsorption enthalpy of -27 to -29 kJ/mol.

반도체 검출기는 입사되는 X선 에너지에 의하여 이온화되어 발생하는 전자 전공쌍을 수집함으로 방사선 정보를 확인하는 선량계로써 많은 연구와 활용이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, X선 에너지에 의하여 반도체 검출기에서 발생하는 전기적 신호량이 높지 않기 때문에 누설 전류의 저감이 필수적이다. 누설 전류를 저감시키기 위한 방안으로 반도체 층과 전극 층의 Schottky Contact 구조의 설계, Insulating Layer의 사용, 높은 비저항의 반도체 물질 연구 등이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, 기존에 누설 전류 저감을 위하여 Insulating Layer를 전극층과 반도체 층 사이에 형성하는 연구에 있어서 Insulating Layer와 반도체 층의 계면 사이에서 발생하는 Charge Trapping으로 인하여 생성되는 신호의 Reproducibility 저하, 동영상 적용의 제한 등의 문제점을 겪어왔다. 이에 본 논문에서는 누설 전류를 저감시킴과 동시에 Charge Trapping의 최소화를 이루기 위하여 Insulating Layer의 두께 최적화 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 Insulating Layer는 검출기 표면에 입사하는 X선 정보 손실을 최소화 시키는 동시에 누설 전류와 Charge Trapping을 최소화 시키는 방법으로써 CVD방법으로 검출기 표면에 균일하게 Insulating Layer를 코팅하였다. Insulating 물질은 Parylene을 사용하였으며, 그 중 온도, 습도 등 외부환경에 영향을 적게 받는 type C를 사용하였다. 증착에 사용한 장비의 진공도는 Torr로 설정하여 증착되는 Parylene의 두께가 약 $0.3{\mu}m$가 되게 하였으며, 실험에는 반도체 물질 PbO를 사용하였다. Parylene의 절연 특성은 Dark Current와 Sensitivity를 측정한 SNR을 이용하여 Parylene코팅이 되지 않은 동일 반도체 검출기와의 신호를 비교하였으며 또한 Parylene를 다층 제작한 검출기의 수집 신호량을 비교하였다. 제작한 검출기의 X선 조사 시의 수집 전하량 측정 결과, 100 kVp, 100mA, 0.03s의 X선 조건에서 $1V/{\mu}m$의 기준 시, Parylene를 코팅하지 않은 PbO 검출기의 Dark current는 0.0501 nA/cm2, Sensitivity는 0.6422 nC/mR-cm2, SNR은 12.184이었으며, Parylene단층의 두께인 $0.3{\mu}m$로 증착된 시편의 Dark current는 0.04097 nA/cm2, Sensitivity는 0.53732 nC/mR-cm2으로 Dark current가 감소되고 sensitivity도 감소하였지만 SNR은 13.1150으로 높아진 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Perylene이 $0.6{\mu}m$로 증착된 시편의 경우, Dark Current는 0.04064 nA/cm2, Sensitivity는 0.31473 nC/mR-cm2, SNR은 7.7443으로써 Insulating Layer가 없는 시편보다 SNR이 약 40% 낮아진 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Parylene이 $0.9{\mu}m$로 증착된 시편의 경우 Dark current는 0.0378 nA/cm2, Sensitivity 0.0461 nC/mR-cm2로 Insulating Layer가 없는 시편에 비해 SNR은 약 1/12배 감소한 1.2196이었고, Parylene이 $1.2{\mu}m$로 증착된 시편의 SNR은 1.1252로서 더 감소하였다. 따라서 Parylene을 다층 코팅한 검출기일수록 절연 효과의 영향이 커짐으로써 SNR 비교 시 수집되는 신호량이 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 반도체 검출기의 누설 전류를 저감시킴과 동시에 신호 수집율에 영향을 최소화시키기 위하여 Insulating Layer의 두께를 적절하게 설정하여 적용하면 Insulating Layer가 없는 검출기에 비해 누설전류를 최소한으로 줄일 수 있고 신호 검출효율이 감소하는 것을 방지할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

Thermal properties of Fe- base amorpous alloys were investigated. $Fe_{80}P_6C_{12}B_{12}$ and $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloys were fabricated by melt spinning method and thermal analysis was done by differential scanning calorimeter. After isothermal crystallization. the Avrami exponents of $Fe_{80}P_6C_{12}B_{12}$ and $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloys were 1.8-2.2 and 2.5-4.0, respectively. It means the former alloy shows diffusion controlled growth and the latter one shows interface controlled growth. For $Fe_{80}P_6C_{12}B_{12}$ and $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloys. the activation energies of isothermal crystallization was 353 and 371kJlmol. Also the activation energies of nucleation and growth were 301, 324kJlmol and 273. 30lkJ/mol, respectively. Thus $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloy is considered to be more stable than $Fe_{73}P_{11}C_6B_4AI_4Ge_2$ amorphous alloy.

Chogye basin, which is surrounded by country rock, has a closed-basin form. In such a basin, incident seismic energy can form multiply reflected waves, thus causing energy concentration to occur at this closed-basin area. Microtremor measurement survey was performed at the Chogye basin, which is located in Chogye-myeon and Jeokjungmyeon, Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, Republic of Korea. Microtremor data were transformed into the frequency domain, and then the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios (HVSR) were calculated. Fundamental resonance frequencies were estimated from the HVSR results for every observation point. Using the empirical relationship between site period and thickness for sediment sites in Korea known from the previous study, the distribution of sediment thickness of the Chogye basin was estimated from the fundamental resonance frequencies. Being compared with the mountainous rim with steep slope, the measurement points inside the basin have low values of the fundamental resonance frequency with the minimum of 1.03 Hz, which corresponds to the thickness of sedimentary layer with the maximum depth of about 100 m. A three-dimensional basin model was constructed for bedrock topography of the Chogye basin by an interpolation of basin depths estimated at each measurement site.

The objective of this study was to find out the stable formulation of nano-emulsion containing high concentration of quercetin and to investigate the effect of an ethanol on the nano-emulsion prepared by POE (30) hydrogenated castor oil (HCO-30)/oil/quercetin/ethanol/water system. Nano-emulsion was prepared using emulsion inversion point (EIP) method as low-energy method plus homogenizer as high-energy method. To evaluate effect of ethanol and other components on the nano-emulsion, physical properties such as droplet size, morphology, and size distribution were determined. The optimal quercetin concentration was 0.2 % on the nano-emulsion. The droplet diameter was below 300 nm at the HCO-30 concentration below 2.00 %. Nano-emmulsion containing 4.75 % HCO-30 was the most stable and its mean droplet size was 172.40 nm. Finally, the size of nano-emulsion containing 4.00 % ethanol was 128.15 nm and size distribution was also narrow. The results showed that the breakdown process of this nano-emulsion could be attributed to Ostwald ripening. This study about effect of ethanol on the nano-emulsion showed that loading capacity of drug could be increased by using a small amount of ethanol. As prepared stable nano-emulsion, this study showed that these results could be applied to pharmaceutics, cosmetic including skin-care products, perfume and etc.

The reliability degradation phenomena in the SiGe hetero-junction bipolar transistor (HBT) are investigated in this review. In the case of the SiGe HBT the decrease of the current gain, the degradation of the AC characteristics, and the offset voltage are frequently observed, which are attributed to the emitter-base reverse bias voltage stress, the transient enhanced diffusion, and the deterioration of the base-collector junction due to the fluctuation in fabrication process, respectively. The reverse-bias stress on the emitter-base junction causes the recombination current to rise, increasing the base current and degrading the current gain, because hot carriers formed by the high electric field at the junction periphery generate charged traps at the silicon-oxide interface and within the oxide region. Because of the enhanced diffusion of the dopants in the intrinsic base induced by the extrinsic base implantation, the shorter distance between the emitter-base junction and the extrinsic base than a critical measure leads to the reduction of the cut-off frequency ($f_t$) of the device. If the energy of the extrinsic base implantation is insufficient, the turn-on voltage of the collector-base junction becomes low, in the result, the offset voltage appears on the current-voltage curve.

The conductivity of a semiconductor is primarily determined by the carriers. To achieve higher conductivity, the number of carriers should be high, and an energy trap level is created so that the carriers can cross the forbidden zone with low energy. Carriers have a crystalline binding structure, and interfacial mismatching tends to make them less conductive. In general, high-concentration doping is typically used to increase mobility. However, higher conductivity is also observed in non-orthogonal conjugation structures. In this study, the phenomena of higher conductivity and higher mobility were observed with space charge limiting current due to tunneling phenomena, which are different from trapping phenomena. In an atypical structure, the number of carriers is low, the resistance is high, and the on/off characteristics of capacitances are improved, thus increasing the mobility. ZTO thin film improved the on/off characteristics of capacitances after heat treating at $150^{\circ}C$. In charging and discharging tests, there was a time difference in the charge and discharging shapes, there was no distinction between n and p type, and the bonding structure was amorphous, such as in the depletion layer. The amorphous bonding structure can be seen as a potential barrier, which is also a source of space charge limiting current and causes conduction as a result of tunneling. Thus, increased mobility was observed in the non-structured configuration, and the conductivity increased despite the reduction of carriers.

Equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamics of adsorption of acid black 1 (AB1) by coal-based granular activated carbon (CGAC) were investigated with the adsorption variables of initial concentration of dye, contact time, temperature, and pH. The adsorption reaction of AB1 by activated carbon was caused by electrostatic attraction between the surface (H⁺) of activated carbon and the sulfite ions (SO₃^-) and nitrite ions (NO₂^-) possessed by AB1, and the degree of reaction was highest at pH 3 (97.7%). The isothermal data of AB1 were best fitted with Freundlich isotherm model. From the calculated separation factor (1/n) of Freundlich, it was confirmed that adsorption of AB1 by activated carbon could be very effective. The heat of adsorption in the Temkin model suggested a physical adsorption process (< 20 J mol^-1). The kinetic experiment favored the pseudo second order model, and the equilibrium adsorption amount estimated from the model agreed to that given by the experiments (error < 9.73% ). Intraparticle diffusion was a rate controlling step in this adsorption process. From the activation energy and enthalpy change, it was confirmed that the adsorption reaction is an endothermic reaction proceeding with physical adsorption. The entropy change was positive because of an active reaction at the solid-liquid interface during adsorption of AB1 on the activated carbon surface. The free energy change indicated that the spontaneity of the adsorption reaction increased as the temperature increased.

The filtration characteristics of H₂O-C₆H₁₂O₆ solution at cell membrane model in renal tubule which irradiated by high energy x-ray(linac 6MV) was investigated. The cell membrane model used in this experiment was a polysulfonated copolymerized membrane of m-phenylene-diamine(MPD) and trimesoyl chloride(TMC)-hexane. They were used to two cell membrane models(CM-1, CM-2). The cell membrane model composed of 0.5 wt% TMC-hexane solution(CM-2) had higher permeate flux(Jv) and rejection coefficient(R) than composed of 0.1 wt% TMC-hexane solution(CM-1). The permeate flux(Jv) and rejection coefficient(R) of H₂O-C₆H₁₂O₆ solution in two cell membrane models(CM-1, CM-2) were increased with increase of pressure drop and effective pressure difference. In this experiment range(pressure 1.5-4 MPa, temperature 36.5 ℃), permeate flux(Jv) of H₂O solvent in irradiated membrane was found to be decreased about 20-30 times than non-irradiated membrane, permeate flux(Jv) and rejection coefficient(R) of H₂O-C₆H₁₂O₆ solution in irradiated membrane was found to be decreased about 2-13 times, about 4-6 times than non-irradiated membrane, respectively. The concentration increase of H₂O-C₆H₁₂O₆ solution at cell membrane model significantly was increased at rejection coefficient(R), was decreased at permeate flux(Jv). As the filtration of H₂O-C₆H₁₂O₆ solution in cell membrane model were abnormal, cell damages were appeared at cell.
