This paper presents the soil ionization phenomena and the parameters with the transient characteristics of model grounding system under lightning impulse voltages. lonization properties of dry and wet sands were investigated by using two test cells of concentric cylindrical electrode system with different dimensions. As a result non-linear electrical behavior of sand under high impulse voltage is caused by ionization process. The transient impedance of sand depends not only on the water content but also on the magnitude of applied impulse voltages. The grounding impedance is decreased with increasing the water content and the magnitude of a lied voltages. The results resented in this paper will provide useful information on the design of high performance grounding systems against lightning surge.

유기물과 무기물이 혼합된 나노 복합재료는 저전력 동작을 요구하는 휘어짐이 가능한 차세대 전자소자 응용에 대단히 유용한 소재이다. 간단하고 저렴한 제조 공정과 휘어짐이 가능한 유기물과 무기물이 혼합된 나노 복합재료를 사용한 비휘발성 메모리 소자의 제작과 전기적 특성은 연구되었다. 최근에 간단한 방법으로 고집적화된 휘어짐이 가능한 유기 쌍안정성 소자의 제작에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 유기 쌍안정 소자의 기억 메커니즘에 대한 연구는 비교적 적게 연구되었다. 유기 쌍안정성 소자의 기억 메커니즘에 대한 연구는 효율과 신뢰성을 증진하기 위하여 대단히 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) 층에 콜로이드 ZnO 양자점을 혼합하여 제작한 유기 쌍안정성 소자의 전기적 성질과 기억 메커니즘에 대한 것을 연구하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 콜로이드 ZnO 양자점은 dimethylformamide를 사용한 환원법을 이용하여 제작하였다. 소자를 제작하기 위하여 PMMA에 대한 콜로이드 ZnO 양자점의 조성비가 1.5 wt% 가 되도록 dimethylformamide에 녹여 혼합한 용액을 하부 전극인 ITO가 증착된 유리기판위에 스핀코팅 방법을 이용하여 박막을 형성하였다. 콜로이드 ZnO 양자점을 포함한 PMMA 박막위에 상부전극으로 Al을 증착하였다. 복합 소재에 대한 투과 전자 현미경 상은 콜로이드 ZnO 양자점이 PMMA 층 안에 형성되어 있음을 보여주었다. 측정된 전류-전압(I-V) 특성은 쌍안정성 특성을 나타내었으며 이 결과는 콜로이드 ZnO 양자점에서 전하 포획, 저장과 방출 과정에 의한 것이다. 콜로이드 ZnO 양자점을 포함한 PMMA 박막을 저장 영역으로 사용한 유기 쌍안정성 소자의 I-V 측정결과를 바탕으로 전하 수송 모델과 전자적 구조를 사용하여 기억 메커니즘을 논하였다.

Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a traditional and representative geophysical method for determining the resistivity distributions of surrounding soil and rock volumes. Depth resolution profiles and sensitivity distribution sections of the resistivities with respect to various electrode configurations are calculated and investigated using numerical model data. Shallow vertical resolution decreases in the order of Wenner, Schlumberger, and dipole-dipole arrays. A high investigable depth in homogeneous medium is calculated to be 0.11-0.19 times the active electrode spacing, but is counterbalanced by a low vertical resolution. For the application of ERT depth resolution profiles and sensitivity distributions, we provide subsurface structure models for two types of land-creping failure (planar and curved), subvertical fracture, and weathered layer over felsic and mafic igneous rocks. The dipole-dipole configuration appears to be most effective for mapping land-creeping failure planes (especially for curved planes), whereas the Wenner array gives the best resolution of soil horizons and shallow structures in the weathered zone.

The In this paper, we have made numerical experiments to compare 2D image reconstruction algorithm of earth model by electrical resistance tomograpy (ERT). Gauss-Newton, simultaneous iterative reconstruction technieque (SIRT) and truncated least squares (TLS) approaches for Wenner and Schlumberger electrode arrays are presented for the solution of the ERT image reconstruction. Computer simulations show that the Gauss-Newton and TLS approach in ERT are proper for 2D image reconstruction of an earth model.

This study aims at the analysis using the Resistivity Estimation Model (REM) to examine the effect of specimen size on the measurement of electrical resistivity. In the experiment, specimens of concrete were fabricated and the apparent resistivity was measured for each electrode interval. The apparent resistivity measured was found to be distorted in the apparent resistivity as the specimen size became smaller and closer to the outside (edge). As a result of comparing the experimental and analysis values, it is expected that REM can be used to examine the effect of the size of the specimen.

The effect of a bonding layer on the performance of a quarter-wave (${\lambda}/4$) mode PVDF ultrasound transducer having not only a piezoelectric layer but also a non-piezoelectric layer between two electrodes was analyzed. The equivalent circuit of a transmission line model by Kikuchi et al.[Sound of IEICE, 55-A, 331-338 (1981)] was introduced for the analysis. The validity of the model was confirmed by comparison with a KLM model for three postulated adhesion cases of a $80{\mu}m$ thick piezoelectric PVDF film to a copper (Cu) backer. The pulse-echo responses of five PVDF transducers, each fabricated with a different thickness ($5{\mu}m{\sim}20{\mu}m$) of the bonding layer, were measured and the results were compared with those by simulation. The two results were in good agreement with each other and it was noted that the effect of the bonding layer on the performance of the transducer could be analyzed by the Kikuchi model. In detail, the $20{\mu}m$ bonding layer decreased the center frequency and the bandwidth by about 19.7 % and 25.0 %, respectively, and increased the insertion loss by 57.2 %.

In comparison with in-plane lasers, predicting the output power and differential quantum efficiency of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers(VCSELs) is very difficult due to the distributed Bragg reflector(DBR) layers. Therefore, effective cavity model and transfer matrix method have been adapted in order to calculate the output power and differential quantum efficiency The effective cavity model is inappropriate to calculate output power and differential quantum efficiency while it is practically adequate to calculate the threshold gain and threshold current density The reason is that the effective cavity model can not take account of the absorption in GaAs stack layer right below the metal aperture. In this paper, we have compared the threshold current and differential quantum efficiency calculated by using transfer matrix method with effective cavity model and we have made a study of the validity of the effective cavity model. Finally, we have confirmed the versatility of the transfer matrix method with these studies.

Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) consisting of soft membrane plated by platinum electrode layers on both surfaces generates electric energy when subjected to various mechanical stimuli. The paper proposes a circuit model that describes the physical composition of IPMC to predict the voltage generation characteristic corresponding to bending motion. The parameter values in the model are identified to minimize the RMS error between the real and simulated outputs. Following the design of IPMC circuit model, the state observer of the model is designed by using pole placement technique which improves the model accuracy. State observer design technique is also applied to find the inverse model which estimates the input bending angles from the output voltage data. The results show that the inverse model estimates input bending angles fairly well enough for the further applications of IPMC not only as an energy harvester but also as a bending sensor.

This paper presents the lateral displacement of a particle passing over a planar interdigitated electrode array at an angle as a function of particle size. The lateral displacement was also measured as a function of the angle between the electrode and the direction of flow. A simplified line charge model was used for numerical estimation of the lateral displacement of fluorescent polystyrene (PS) beads with three different diameters. Using the lateral displacement as a function of particle size, we developed a lateral dielectrophoretic (DEP) microseparator, which enables the continuous discrimination of particles by size. The experiment using an admixture of 3-, 5-, and $10-{\mu}m$ PS beads showed that the lateral DEP microseparator could continuously separate out 99.86% of the $3-{\mu}m$ beads, 98.82% of the $5-{\mu}m$ beads, and 99.69% of the $10-{\mu}m$ beads. The lateral DEP microseparator is thus a practical device for the simultaneous separation of particles according to size from a heterogeneous admixture.

In this study, we measured the bioelectrical impedance of whole body in various frequency bands by non-invasive method by four electrode method using a portable small impedance measurement system developed to understand the bioimpedance characteristics of intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid components through a skin equivalent model. The measurements were performed on 10 male subjects (mean age $24{\pm}3.0$, body mass index(BMI) $20.3kg/m^2$) for four weeks and the bioimpedances were measured at multi-frequencies (1 kHz, 5 kHz, 50 kHz, 70 kHz, 100 kHz and 500 kHz). Experimental results show that the impedance is the highest in the low frequency range of 1 kHz and the lowest in the high frequency range of 500 MHz. Especially, it was confirmed through experiments that the impedance is rapidly lowered above 50 kHz band. In addition, it was confirmed that similar characteristics to the measured values of the bioimpedance measuring system were obtained in the simulations for understanding the impedance characteristics of the intracellular fluid and the extracellular fluid through the skin equivalent circuit model.
