Pyroelectric infrared detectors based on La-modified $PbTiO_{3}$ (PLT) thin films have been fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering and rnicrornachining technology. The detectors form $Pb_{l-x}La_{x}Ti_{1-x/4}O_{3}$ (x=0.05) thin film ferroelectric capacitors epitaxially grown by RF magnetron sputtering on Pt/MgO (100) substrate. The sputtered PLT thin film exhibits highly c-axis oriented crystal structure that no poling treatment for sensing applications is required. This is an essential factor to increase the yield for realization of an infrared image sensor. Micromachining technology is used to lower the thermal mass of the detector by giving maximum sensor efficiency. Polymide is coated on top of the sensing elements to support the fragile structure and the backside of the MgO substrate is selectively etched to reduce the heat loss. The sensing element exhibited a very high detectivity D* of $8.5{\times}10^{8}cm{\cdot}\sqrt{Hz}/W$ at room temperature and it is about 100 times higher than the case of micromachining technology is not used. A sensing system that detects the position as well as the existence of a human body is realized using the array sensor.

세계가 점차적으로 "전화(電化)"됨에 따라 전기 에너지의 효과적인 분배와 사용이 급격히 중요하게 되었다. 일반 도체를 통한 전류의 흐름은 도체의 저항에 의해 줄열을 발생시켜 전기 에너지의 손실을 일으키고 결국은 에너지와 경제적 자원의 낭비를 초래하게 된다. 초전도체의 저항은 직류 전류에서는 0, 교류 전류에서는 거의 0이기 때문에 초전도체를 이용하면 전력 소자 및 기기의 부피와 무게를 현저히 줄일 수 있는 반면에 모든 전기 시스템의 효율을 향상시킬 수 있고, 에너지 사용의 절감에 따라 환경 문제에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 사고 전류 제한기의 설계에 있어서, 권선형태에 따른 솔레노이드 마그네트와 팬케이크 마그네트를 설계, 제작하여 자장 특성 및 한류 특성을 비교 하였다. 2세대 고온 초전도 선재로 불리는 YBCO 박막형 초전도 선재를 이용하여 동작 전류 증대를 위한 다병렬 솔레노이드 마그네트와 다병렬 팬케이크 마그네트를 제작하였다. 이를 이용하여 440 V/ 630 A급 초전도 사고 전류 제한기와 2 kA 급 대전류 통전 사고 전류 제한 모듈을 설계, 제작하여 단락 특성 시험을 수행하였다. 한편, 자장 응용 기기에 적용 가능한 더블 팬케이크 마그네트를 제 2 세대 초전도선재를 이용하여 설계, 시작하였다. 2세대 선재는 1세대 선재에 비하여 20 T 이상의 외부 자장에 대한 특성이 우수하여 고자장 마그네트 시스템에 더욱 적합하다. 이에 초전도 마그네트 보호를 위한 상전도 영역 전파 실험을 수행하여 CC 선재의 안정도를 측정하였다. 또한 영구전류모드 운전과 플럭스 펌프를 통한 전류 충전에 대한 연구도 병행하였다.

Enhance signal-to-noise ratio, slow positron coincidence Doppler Broadening method has been applied to study of characteristics of $Nb_3Ge$ superconductor film, which were performed from 20 K to 300 K sample temperature near Tc of it. In this investigation the numerical analysis of the Doppler spectra was employed to the determination of the shape parameter, S, defined as the ratio between the amount of counts in a central portion of the spectrum and the total counts of whole spectrum. The S-parameter values between 0.598 and 0.594 were decreased while the temperature were decreasing, that indicated the voids into the samples. The temperature dependence came from specific positron trapping rate into the vacancy-type defects. It is believed that the positrons annihilate with normal-electrons instead of super-electrons in the Nb3Ge superconductor.

Quench and recovery process of high-temperature-superconductor (HTS) film deposited on the sapphire substrate is studied numerically. The quench is developed by fault current and the superconductivity is recovered by convection of heat into coolant. After the fault current. the HTS film experiences the quench state. current sharing state. and finally recovers the superconductivity. Numerical results of this study are compared to the previous experimental results. and shows that this numerical work can explain the mechanism of quench/recovery characteristics of HTS film.

One dimensional conduction equation is solved by finite difference method, to analyse the stability of Au/YBCO film deposited on a sapphire substrate. Joule heat is included in the case of current sharing state. The analysis shows the quench and recovery of superconductor depending on the amount of thermal disturbance release on the center surface of superconductor. The critical disturbance energies for different filling factor and operating current are calculated.

The effects of Sm:Ba:Cu composition ratio in SmBCO coated conductor on their superconducting properties were investigated. The SmBCO coated conductors were fabricated by reactive co-evaporation method using EDDC(Evaporation using Drum in Dual Chamber) system. In this system, we could obtain various samples with different composition ratios in a batch by the technique providing composition gradient at deposition zone. From the specimens prepared by EDDC system, we found that composition ratio is uniform parallel to the drum axis, but gradient along the circumferential direction of the drum. We installed a shield having parallelogram open area between the deposition chamber and the evaporation chamber in EDDC system, and attached a 30 cm long template, which is parallel to drum axis, onto the drum surface. In this configuration, we could obtain SmBCO coated conductors having a gradient composition along the length of template. We measured the composition ratios and surface morphologies with periodic interval by SEM and EDAX, and confirmed the profile of composition ratio. We also measured critical current using non-contact Hall probe critical current measurement system and thereby could plot composition ratio vs. critical current. The maximum critical current was obtained, and the surface morphology with the shape of roof tile was observed at the corresponding composition ratio of Sm:Ba:Cu = 1.01:1.99:4.87. It was also found that composition ratio had an effect on not only critical current but also surface morphology.

We obtained in-situ $MgB_2$ thin films in an one-step process using ESSD (Evaporation Sputtering Simultaneous Deposition) method. In our approach. the Ma evaporator is designed specially Mg and B are simultaneously evaporated and sputtered, respectively, in the specially designed ESSD chamber. The background pressure was less than $1{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr. The substrate temperature was kept at 623 K. The film properties were investigated by both electrical resistivity and PPMS. As a result, typical $T_c$ of films was 11 K.
