The purpose of this study was to perform quantitative comparisons of water permeable zones in both the adhesive and the hybrid layer before and after thermo cycling in order to assess the integrity of the bonding interface. Twenty eight flat dentin surfaces were bonded with a light-cured composite resin using one of four commercial adhesives [OptiBond FL (OP), AdheSE (AD), Clearfil SE Bond (CL). and Xeno III (XE)]. These were sectioned into halves and subsequently cut to yield 2-mm thick specimens; one specimen for control and the other subjected to thermocycling for 10,000 cycles. After specimens were immersed in ammoniacal silver nitrate for 24 h and exposed to a photo developing solution for 8 h, the bonded interface was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and wavelength dispersive spectrometry (WDS) at five locations per specimen. Immediately after bonding. the adhesive layer of OP showed the lowest silver uptake, followed by CL, AD. and XE in ascending order (p < 0.0001); the hybrid layer of CL had the lowest silver content among the groups (p = 0.0039). After thermocycling, none of the adhesives manifested a significant increase of silver in either the adhesive or the hybrid layer. SEM demonstrated the characteristic silver penetrated patterns within the interface. It was observed that integrity of bonding was well maintained in OP and CL throughout the thermocycling process. Adhesive-tooth interfaces are vulnerable to hydrolytic degradation and its permeability varies in different adhesive systems, which may be clinically related to the restoration longevity.

공동주택에서 태양광발전(PV)을 통한 세대 전기에너지 이용은 모듈 설치 면적의 제약으로 인해 전 세대를 대상으로 활용하기에 현실적으로 어려움이 있다. 특히 남향이나 남동, 남서향으로 위치한 거실 창호를 활용하는 경우에도 결정질 실리콘(crystalline silicon) 태양전지 셀로 인한 실내 음영문제 등으로 건물통합형 태양광발전(BIPV) 시스템의 가시성을 확보하는데 한계가 있다. 따라서 이런 문제점을 극복하고자 투광형 비정질실리콘(amorphous silicon) 태양전지를 이용한 발코니창호/커튼월 BIPV 시스템을 구축하고, 테스트베드를 통한 적용성 평가 검증을 수행하였다. 테스트베드는 KCC 중앙연구소 1층 외부 측창에 결정질 BIPV 모듈(A2PEAK 사(社), 최대 출력 210 Wp, W 2,000 mm ${\times}$ H 1,066 mm)과 10% 및 30% 투광형 비정질 BIPV 모듈(Sharp 사(社) See Through type, 최대 출력 135 Wp/123 Wp, W 1,930 mm ${\times}$ H 1,180 mm)을 각각 설치(남서 $30^{\circ}$, 수직 $90^{\circ}$)하여, 2009년 5월에서 8월 사이 4개월에 걸친 모니터링을 통해 실제 발전량 데이터를 확보, 시스템에 대한 분석을 진행하였다. 분석 결과, 설치용량당 일평균 발전량은 결정질형이 1.46 kWh/kWp, 10% 투광형은 1.10 kWh/kWp, 30% 투광형은 0.73 kWh/kWp을 나타내었다. 10% 투광형과 30% 투광형의 모듈 성능 차이는 크지 않으나 발전량에 있어서는 큰 차이를 보였고, 10% 투광형의 설치용량당 일평균 발전량은 경정질형의 75.2% 수준으로 투광형 비정질실리콘 BIPV 시스템의 창호 적용 가능성을 확인하였다. 특히 세대 거실 창호를 통한 가시성 확보는 기존 결정질 BIPV 창호의 단점을 개선하였다. 건자재 일체화로 구축된 가시성확보 BIPV시스템 창호는 단위 세대별 적용이 쉽고, 공동주택에서 PV 시스템의 설치면적을 극대화시키므로 향후 Zero Energy 공동주택 구축에도 활용성이 클 것으로 기대된다.

This paper introduces homogeneous liquid crystal (LC) orientations on chemically modulated polystyrene (PS) surfaces using various ion beam (IB) exposure time. Transparent PS was replaced with conventional polyimde material. Especially, PS has higher transparent property than conventional polyimide thin film and it means PS is more suitable material for producing high brightness mobile LCD. As a non-contact process, IB bombardment process induced LC orientation in the direction parallel to the IB process. Through x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, it was shown that the chemical compositional changes of the IB-irradiated PS surfaces were determined as a function of IB exposure time. Using this analysis, the optimal IB bombardment condition was determined at IB exposure time of up to 15 s. Moreover, thermal stability on IB-irradiated PS surfaces were carried out which showed that a relatively high IB exposure time induced a thermally stable LC alignment property. And it has a highly potential of mobile high transparent mobile LCD such as smart phone display and mobile information device.

CdS thin films for window material of solar cell were prepared by close spaced vapor transport deposition system and annealed at different temperatures. The structural, electrical, and optical properties of as-deposited and annealed CdS films were investigated as functions of substrate and annealing temperatures. The CdS thin films were grown perpendicularly to the substrate along the (002)plane with hexagonal structure regardless of the preparation conditions The resistivity of the CdS film deposited was increased gradually from $60{\Omega}cm$ for $25^{\circ}C$ to $2{\times}10^{4}{\Omega}cm$ for $300^{\circ}C$. The optical transmittance at the substrate temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ was about 80% in the the visible spectrum. The resistivity increased monotonically, and the optical transmittance was decreased substantially with annealing temperature due to the increased defect density in the CdS film.

Antireflection coatings on optical lenses commertially available in domestic market are optically analyzed. Transmission spectra and reflection spectra are collected using spectrophotometers. The apparent absorption spectra around the absorption band edge are dominated by the substrate absorption. The reflection spectra and the apparent absorption spectra at visible region between 400nm and 700nm show very strong correlation to each other except a couple samples. The discrepency observed in the latters are due to an increased absorption in visible region by the substrate, which is negative effect of these samples. An antireflection coating consisted of $SiO_2/TiO_2/SiO_2/ZrO_2/Cr$ is made on c-Si substrate for spectroscopic ellispometry analysis. A film-by-film coating is accomplished and between each film deposition, ex-situ spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements are made. The analysis of the spectroscopic ellipsometry data reveals that the average film densities of $ZrO_2$ and $TiO_2$ reach only 80% of their respective packing densities and thick films are inhomogeneous along film growth direction. Discussions are made toward in-situ, real-time monitoring of the film growth so that a real-time feedback is possible to achieve a post-correction to minor deviations occured in the previous step. step.

본 연구에서는 catalyst-free 유기금속 화학증착법 (MOCVD)를 이용하여 사파이어 (0001)면 위에 직접 InN nanorods를 성장하였다. InN 박막의 성장에서 TMIn과 $NH_3$를 전구체로 사용하였으며, 캐리어 가스로는 질소를 사용하였다. 성장 전, 기판에 $1100^{\circ}C$에서 3분간 nitridation 처리를 거친 후 온도를 낮춰 $630{\sim}730^{\circ}C$의 온도범위 에서 InN 박막을 성장하였다. 이때 $710^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 박막은 columnar growth의 특성을 보였으며 동일조건에서 80분간 성장시킨 결과 InN nanorods가 성장되었다. 성장시킨 InN nanorod는 X-선 회절 측정법, 주사 전자 현미경 그리고 투과 전자 현미경을 이용하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 투과 전자 현미경을 통한 분석결과 지름이 150~200 nm이며 그 길이는 수 ${\mu}m$인 InN nanorod가 성공적으로 성장되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 X-선 회절 측정법과 주사 전자 현미경을 통한 분석에서 이들 nanorods가 대부분 c 방향으로 수직하게 정렬되어 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 Ti/Au (120/80 nm)를 전극으로 사용하여 개개의 nanorod의 전기적 특성을 분석한 결과 linear한 I-V특성이 관찰되었으며 비저항은 평균적으로 $0.0024\;{\Omega}cm$ 이었다. transfer 특성의 측정결과 -50V까지 게이트 전압을 인가하여도 드레인 전류의 변화는 매우 적어 doping level이 상당히 높다고 예상가능하다. 또한 mobility는 $133\;cm^2/Vs$로 도출되었다.

자발형성법(Self-assembled)을 이용한 InAs 양자점(Quantum dots)은 성장법의 고유한 물리적 한계로 길이방향에 대한 수직방향 비율(Aspect ratio, AR)이 상대적으로 작은 값을 갖는다. 기존에 보고된 바에 따르면 GaAs 기판에 형성한 InAs 양자점은 일반적으로 AR이 0.3 정도를 보인다. 이러한 높이가 상대적으로 낮은 InAs 양자점은 수직방향으로 운반자(Carrier)의 파동함수 (Wave-function) 구속이 작게 되어 나노 양자점 구조의 0차원적 특성이 저하되게 된다. 본 논문에서는 Arsenic 차단법(Interruption technique)을 이용한 수정자발형성법(Modified self-assembled method, MSAM)으로 InAs 양자점(MSAM-InAs 양자점)을 형성하고 성장 변수에 따라 광 및 구조적 특성을 평가하여 0차원 순도를 분석하였다. MSAM InAs 양자점을 성장하고 12 nm 두께의 GaAs spacer 층을 증착한 후 $600^{\circ}C$에서 30초 동안 Arsenic 분위기에서 열처리(Annealing)를 수행 한 후 다시 InAs을 증착 하였다. 이러한 과정을 5번 반복하여 높이 방향으로 형상을 개선시킨 InAs 양자점을(Vetically-controlled MSAM, VCMSAM) 성장하였다. 기존 자발형성법을 이용한 InAs 양자점과 MSAM-InAs 양자점 단일층 구조를 기준시료로 성장하였다. 상온 포토루미네슨스(Photoluminescence, PL) 실험에서 단일 MSAM InAs 양자점 및 VCMSAM 양자점 시료의 발광에너지는 각각 1.10 eV와 1.13 eV를 나타내었다. VCMSAM InAs 양자점 시료의 PL세기는 단일 MSAM 양자점보다 3.4배 증가되어, 확연히 높게 나타나는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 높이 방향으로 운반자의 파동함수 구속력이 증가하여 구속준위 (Localized states)의 전자-정공의 파동함수중첩(Overlap integral)이 개선된 것으로 설명할 수 있다. 투과전자현미경(Transmission electron microscopy) 및 원자력간 현미경(Atomic force microscopy)을 이용하여 구조적 특성을 평가하고 이를 비교 분석한 결과를 보고한다.

Lidar point clouds provide three dimensional information of terrain surface and have a great advantage to generate precise digital elevation model (DEM), particularly over forested area where some laser signals are transmitted to vegetation canopy and reflected from the bare ground. This study initially investigates the characteristics of lidar-derived height information as related to vertical structure of forest stands. Then, we propose a new filtering method to separate ground points from Lidar point clouds, which is a prerequisite process both to generate DEM surface and to extract biophysical information of forest stands. Laser points clouds over the forest stands in central Korea show that the vertical distribution of laser points greatly varies by the stand characteristics. Based on the characteristics, the proposed filtering method processes first and last returns simultaneously without setting any threshold value. The ground points separated by the proposed method are used to generate digital elevation model, furthermore, the result provides the possibilities to extract other biophysical characteristics of forest.

Urban air mobility (UAM) is being developed as part of the next-generation aircraft, which could be a viable solution to entrenched problems of urban traffic congestion and environmental pollution. A new airport platform called vertiport as a space where UAM can take off and land vertically is also being introduced. Noise regulations for UAM will be strict due to its operation in a highly populated urban area. Ground effects caused by vertiport can directly affect aerodynamic forces and noise characteristics of UAM. In this study, ground effects of vertiport on aerodynamic loads, vorticity field, and far-field noise were analyzed using Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) simulation and Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FW-H) acoustic analogy with a permeable surface method.

A topology optimization method for phononic crystals is developed for the design of sound barriers, using the level set approach. Given a frequency and an incident wave to the phononic crystals, an optimal shape of periodic inclusions is found by minimizing the norm of transmittance. In a sound field including scattering bodies, an acoustic wave can be refracted on the obstacle boundaries, which enables to control acoustic performance by taking the shape of inclusions as the design variables. In this research, we consider a layered structure which is composed of inclusions arranged periodically in horizontal direction while finite inclusions are distributed in vertical direction. Due to the periodicity of inclusions, a unit cell can be considered to analyze the wave propagation together with proper boundary conditions which are imposed on the left and right edges of the unit cell using the Bloch theorem. The boundary conditions for the lower and the upper boundaries of unit cell are described by impedance matrices, which represent the transmission of waves between the layered structure and the semi-infinite external media. A level set method is employed to describe the topology and the shape of inclusions. In the level set method, the initial domain is kept fixed and its boundary is represented by an implicit moving boundary embedded in the level set function, which facilitates to handle complicated topological shape changes. Through several numerical examples, the applicability of the proposed method is demonstrated.
