The structural and functional disorder of a detrusor induces a bladder hypertrophy and degenerates a bladder muscle gradually by preventing normal urination. Thus, the thickness of the bladder wall has been increased in proportion to the degree of bladder outlet obstruction. In this study, the mechanical characteristics of the detrusor is analyzed for the physical properties and the thickness changes of the bladder muscle using a mathematically analytic method. In order to obtain the mechanical property of the bladder muscle, the tensile test of porcine bladder tissue is performed because its property is similar to that of human. The result of tensile test is applied to the mathematically model as Mooney Rivlin coefficients which represent the hyperelastic material. The model of the bladder is defined as the spherical shape with the initial volume of 50ml. The principal stress and strain according to the thickness are analyzed. Also, computer simulations for three types of the material property for the model of the bladder are performed based on the fact that the stiffness of the bladder is weakened as the progress of the benign prostatic hyperplasia. As a result, the principal stress is 341kPa at the initial thickness of 2.2mm, and is 249kPa at 6.5mm. As the bladder wall thickness increases, the principal stress decreases. The principal stress and strain decrease as the stiffness of the bladder decreases under the same thinkness.

In order to investigate the effect of Ge addition to the Cu matrix on the microstructure and the critical current density, four kinds of internal tin processed Nb$_3$Sn strands with pure Cu and Cu 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 wt % Ge alloys were drawn to 0.8 mm diameter. The microstructure and critical current of internal tin processed Nb$_3$Sn wires that were heat treated at temperatures ranging from 68$0^{\circ}C$ to 74$0^{\circ}C$ for 240h were investigated. The Ge addition to the matrix did not make workability worse. A Ge rich layer in the Cu-Ge matrix suppressed the growth of the Nb$_3$Sn layer and promoted grain coarsening. The greater the Ge content in the matrix, the lower the net Jc result after Nb$_3$sn reaction heat treatment. There was no significant variation in Jc observed with heat treatment temperature ranging from 68$0^{\circ}C$ to 74$0^{\circ}C$. The values of AC loss of Ge added wires were decreased to 40 % compare with no addition wire. Low AC loss was due to segregation of Ge rich layer in the Cu-Ge matrix. If Ge added wire with thin Nb filaments were fabricated, slow diffusion rate of Sn would be overcome and decreased AC loss that is weak Point of internal tin method.

Down-conversion of Eu$^{3+}$ doped LiGdF$_4$ (LGF) for increasing the cell efficiency on dye-sensitized Ti $O_2$ solar cells has been studied. The dye sensitized solar cell (DSC) consisting of mesoporous Ti $O_2$ electrode deposited on transparent substrate, an electrolyte containing I$^{[-10]}$ /I$_3$$^{[-10]}$ redox couple, and Pt counter electrode is a promising alternative to the inorganic solar cell. The structure of DSC is basically a sandwich type, viz., FTO glass/Ru-red dye-absorbed Ti $O_2$/iodine electrolyte/sputtered Pt/FTO glass. The cell without down converter had open circuit potential of approximately 0.66 Volt, the short circuit photocurrent density of 1.632 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and fill factor of about 50 ％ at the excitation wavelength of 550 nm. In addition, 5.6 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ incident light intensity beam was used as a light source. From this result, the calculated monochromatic efficiency at the wavelength of 550 nm of this cell was about 9.62 ％. The incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of N3 used as a dye in this work is about 80 ％ at around 590 nm and 610 nm, which is the emission spectrum of Eu$^{3+}$ doped LGF, results in efficiency increasing of DSC.C.

In order to compare the barrier properties of Ta-N/Si(001) with those of Ta-N/Ta/Si(001), we studied structural properties of films grown by RF magnetron sputtering with various $Ar/N_2$ ratios. To evaluate the barrier properties, the samples were annealed in a vacuum chamber. Ex-situ x-ray scattering measurements were done using an in-house x-ray system. With increasing nitrogen ratio in Ta-N/Si(001), the barrier property of Ta-N/Si(001) was enhanced, finally failed at $750^{\circ}C$ due to the crystallization and silicide formation. Compared with Ta-N/Si(001), Ta-N/Ta/Si(001) forms silicides at $650^{\circ}C$. However it does not crystallize even at $750^{\circ}C$. With increasing nitrogen composition in Ta-N/Ta/Si(001), the formation of tantalum silicide was reduced and the surface roughness was improved. To observe the surface morphology of Ta-N/Ta/Si(001) during annealing, we performed an in-situ x-ray scattering experiment using synchrotron radiation of the 5C2 at Pohang Light Source(PLS). Addition of Ta layer between Ta-N and Si(001) improved the surface morphology and reduced the surface degradation at high temperatures. In addition, increasing $N_2/Ar$ flow ratio reduced the formation of tantalum silicide and enhanced the barrier properties.

We have fabricated SmBCO coated conductor on IBAD-MgO substrates using unique co-evaporation method. The batch type co-deposition system was specially designed and named as EDDC(evaporation using drum m dual chamber) that is possible to deposit superconducting layer with different composition ratio at low temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. In this study, we have investigated the influence of SmBCO phase composition and texture of IBAD-MgO template on the critical current density. We have changed the deposition rates of Sm, Ba and Cu during co-evaporation to examine the optimal composition ratio shown better critical current density. The composition ratio and surface morphology of SmBCO coated conductors were analyzed by the EDX and SEM, respectively. A higher critical current density was measured at superconducting phase composition ratio of Ba deficiency, Sm or Cu rich compared to the Sm1Ba2Cu3Ox stoichiometry.

$(Pb_{0.62}Ca_{0.38})ZrO_{3}$계에서의 조성 x=0.38의 $(Pb_{0.62}Ca_{0.38})ZrO_{3}$에 Mn 성분을 첨가하여 $1300^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 소결한 세라믹스의 소결성 및 고주파 유전특성을 연구하였다. Mn의 첨가로 소결온도가 낮아지며 치밀한 소결체를 얻을 수 있었다. 하소온도가 높아짐에 따라 하소과정에서 합성반응이 충분히 이루어져 소결체의 최종 소결과정에 영향을 미처 유전체의 유전상수와 품질계수 Q값이 증가하였다. Mn의 첨가량에 따른 물성변화는 Mn의 첨가량이 0.15wt%까지의 첨가범위에서는 $Mn^{4+}$가 $Mn^{3+}$ 또는 $Mn^{2+}$로 환원됨에 따라 산소공공이 생성되며, 억셉터로 작용하여 품질계수 Q값이 1300정도까지 증가하였고, 유전율은 90-100 정도로 변화가 없었다. 그러나 Mn 첨가량이 0.5 wt%이상일때 유전손실이 매우 증가되며 동시에 품질계수 Q값이 점차 감소하였다.

Bismuth layered structure ferroelectric thin films, $Bi_4$$Ti_3$$O_{12}$ / (BTO) and Nb-doped BTO (BTN) were prepared on the Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrates by a sol-gel route. We investigated the Nb-doping effect on the grain orientation and ferroelectric properties. $Nb^{5＋}$ ion substitution for $Ti^{4＋}$ ion in perovskite layers of BTO decreased the degree of c-axis orientation and increased the remanent polarization (2Pr). The fatigue resistance of Nb-doped BTO thin film was shown to be superior to that of BTO, and the leakage current of Nb-doped BTO thin film was decreased about 1 order of magnitude compared with BTO. The improvement of ferroelectric properties with $Nb^{5＋}$ doping in BTO could be attributed to the changes in space charge densities and grain orientation in the thin film.

Bismuth layered structure ferroelectric thin films, La-substituted $Bi_{4}Ti_{3}O_{12}$ ($Bi_{1-x}La_{x}Ti_{3}O_{12}$, x=0.75, BLT) were prepared on the $Pt(111)/Ti/SiO_2/Si(100)$ substrates by a sol-gel spin coating process. The thin films were annealed in various conditions, i.e., oxygen, nitrogen and vacuum atmospheres for various annealing time. We investigated the annealing condition effects on the grain orientation and ferroelectric properties. The measured XRD patterns revealed that the BLT thin films showed only $Bi_{4}Ti_{3}O_{12}$-type phase with random orientation. $La^{3+}$ ion substitution for $Bi^{3+}$ ion in perovskite layers of $Bi_{4}Ti_{3}O_{12}$ decreased the degree of c-axis orientation and increased the remanent polarization ($2P_{r}$). The remanent polarization ($2P_{r}$) and the coercive field ($2E_{c}$) of the BLT thin film annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ for 5 min in oxygen atmosphere were $87{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 182 kV/cm, respectively, at an applied electric field of 240 kV/cm. For all of the BLT thin films annealed in various conditions, the fatigue resistance was shown. The improvement of ferroelectric properties with La substitution in $Bi_{4}Ti_{3}O_{12}$ could be attributed to the changes in space charge densities and grain orientation in the thin film.

Titanium oxide$(TiO_{2})$ 박막을 금속 알콕사이드 물질인 $(Ti(OC_3H_7)_4$(titanium isopropoxide)를 이용하여 p-Si(100) 기판위에 상압 화학 기상 증착법으로 증착시켰다. $(TiO_{2})$ 박막의 증착기구는 단순경 계층 이론으로 잘 설명되었으며, 화학반응 지배 기구 영역에서 겉보기 활성화 에너지는 18.2kcal/mol이었다. 증착된 박막은 $250^{\circ}C$이상에서 anatase상의 결정질 박막이었으며, 고온에서 열처리를 했을 경우에 rutile상으로 전이하였다. 박막의 상전이에는 열처리 온도외에도 열처리 시간과 박막의 두께가 영향을 미쳤다. 정전용량-전압특성을 조사해 본 결과 전형적인 MOS 다이오드구조의 특성을 보였으며, 비유전율 상수는 약 80정도였다. 제조한 $(TiO_{2})$ 박막의 열처리 공정 후에는 정전용량이 감소하였으며, 첨가물을 사용한 박막은 열처리 전과 같았다. 이때 $V_{FB}$는 -0.5 ~ 1.5V였다. 전기전도 특성을 알아보기 위하여 전류-전압특성을 조사하였으며 증착된 박막의 전도기구는 hopping mechanism이었다. 전기적 특성을 개선하기 위해서 후열처리 방법과 박막 증착시 Nb, Sr을 첨가하였으며, 모두 누설전류의 감소와 정전파괴전압의 증가를 가져왔다.
