We have constructed laser Doppler velocimetry system using self-mixing effect with a semiconductor laser. This technology is based on the frequency mixing phenomena which occurs when light scattered back from the moving object into the laser cavity interferes with light inside the laser. We have compared the value of Doppler shifted frequency with the velocity variation of the wheel. Frequency dependence on the angle between the moving direction of rotating aluminum wheel and the incident beam also have been proved. As an illustration of the performance of the velocimeter, velocity measurements of a rotating disk are described. Doppler signal shows a good linear relationship with velocity of rotating disk.

There has been necessity of an air free ionization chamber using the gold-crystal-aluminium plates, henceforth called the crystal chamber. The crystal chamber formed of parallel plates is very small in size and has more response for absorbed dose of therapeutic radiation beams. The gold plate on the crystal facing the photon and electron beam acts as an intensifier of signals and crystal plate as an ionization medium respectively. Both the copper guard ring and the aluminum collecting electrode are connected to an electrometer. Using high energy photon (6, 15 MV) and electron (9, 12, 15, 18 MeV) beams, the responses of the crystal chamber are evaluated against a PTW Farmer-type chamber at a field size of 10${\times}$10cm$^2$ and 100 cm SSD. The responses of crystal chamber for therapeutic radiation electron and photon beams are greater in magnitude by several order than Farmer. The crystal chamber has good linearity without correction factor C$\_$t,p/ with respect to the signals, a reading reproduction with good accuracy and precision less than 0.5%, and has other useful functions in measuring radiation beams.

This study examines a non-contact laser scanning-based ultrasound system, called an angular scan pulse-echo ultrasonic propagation imager (A-PE-UPI), that uses coincided laser beams for ultrasonic sensing and generation. A laser Doppler vibrometer is used for sensing, while a diode pumped solid state (DPSS) Q-switched laser is used for generation of thermoelastic waves. A high-speed raster scanning of up to 10-kHz is achieved using a galvano-motorized mirror scanner that allows for coincided sensing and for the generation beam to perform two-dimensional scanning without causing any harm to the surface under inspection. This process allows for the visualization of longitudinal wave propagation through-the-thickness. A pulse-echo ultrasonic wave propagation imaging algorithm (PE-UWPI) is used for on-the-fly damage visualization of the structure. The presented system is very effective for high-speed, localized, non-contact, and non-destructive inspection of aerospace structures. The system is tested on an aluminum honeycomb sandwich with disbonds and a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) honeycomb sandwich with a layer overlap. Inspection is performed at a 10-kHz scanning speed that takes 16 seconds to scan a $100{\times}100mm^2$ area with a scan interval of 0.25 mm. Finally, a comparison is presented between angular-scanning and a linear-scanning-based pulse-echo UPI system. The results show that the proposed system can successfully visualize defects in the inspected specimens.

This study proposes a fully non-contact measurement method to assess acoustic nonlinearity of narrowband surface waves generated by a line-arrayed laser beam by using a laser-ultrasonic detector in the way of two-wave mixing (TWM) method. This method was applied to figure out a relationship between plastic deformation and nonlinearity characteristics of a plastically deformed aluminum specimens. The experimental results showed that the acoustic nonlinearity of the laser-generated surface wave increased proportionally to the level of tensile deformation. This tendency is in good agreement with the result of measurement by contact method with PZT-transducer.

An underwater speaker was developed for use as an acoustic deterrent device that transmits acoustic energy through the water omnidirectionally over a broadband frequency range to eliminate marine mammal attacks and to prevent physical damage to the inshore and coastal fishing grounds of Korea. The underwater speaker was constructed of two vibration caps machined from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and a stack of PZ 26 piezoelectric ceramic rings (Ferroperm Piezoceramics A/S) connected mechanically in series and electrically in parallel. The performance characteristics of the underwater speaker were measured and analyzed in an experimental water tank of $5\;m{\times}5\;m{\times}6\;m$. The peak transmitting voltage response (TVR) was measured at 11.16 kHz with 163.45 dB re $1\;{\mu}Pa$/V at 1m. The underwater speaker showed a near omnidirectional beam pattern at the peak TVR resonance frequency. The usable frequency range was 4-25 kHz with a lower TVR limit of approximately 140 dB. We conclude that this underwater speaker could be satisfactorily used as an acoustic deterrent device against marine mammals, particularly the bottlenose dolphin, to protect catches and fishing grounds as well as the mammals themselves, for example, by keeping them away from fishing gear and/or vessels.

최근 반도체 나노막대의 구조적, 광학적 특성을 이용한 새로운 개념의 광학 및 전자 소자 개발을 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존의 반도체 나노막대는 gold를 촉매로 하여 성장한 것이 대부분이었지만, gold 촉매는 다른 물질에 빠르게 확산되기 때문에 반도체 특성에 좋지 않은 영향을 미친다. 이러한 이유로 aluminum이나 titanium과 같은 물질을 gold 촉매 대신 사용하거나 촉매를 사용하지 않는 성장 방법에 관한 이슈들이 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 금속 촉매 물질을 사용하지 않고 반도체 나노막대 성장을 시도하였다. 금속 촉매 없이 반도체 나노막대를 성장하는 것은 반도체 특성에 악영향을 미치지 않을 뿐더러, 공정 과정이 용이하다는 장점 때문에 최근 많이 시도되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) 방법을 이용하여 (100) GaAs 기판 위에 GaAs 나노막대를 성장하였다. 금속 촉매 없이 반도체 나노막대를 성장하기 위해 에칭된 $SiO_2$ 층을 이용하였다. GaAs 기판 위에 형성된 35nm 두께의 $SiO_2$를 20:1 BOE 용액에서 10초 간 에칭하면 $SiO_2$상에 pinhole을 형성하는데 이것이 gallium과 반응하면 나노막대 성장을 유도하는 seed가 만들어져 촉매를 사용하지 않고도 나노막대 성장이 가능하다. GaAs 나노막대 성장을 위해 BOE 에칭 조건, gallium incubation time 유무, GaAs 나노막대 성장온도, galiium과 arsenic의 성분 비율, GaAs 양 등을 변화시켜 실험하였고 이렇게 성장된 나노막대가 SEM image 상에서 관찰되었다.

In this thesis, We Fabricated Cu thin films of 1000 $\AA$, 3000 $\AA$, and 6000 $\AA$ thickness on the single crystal sapphire, polycrystal alumina, and amorphous slide glass substrates deposited by electron beam evaporation(EBE) method. We investigated properties of resistivity and adhesion of these Cu thin films under various conditions, substrate temperature(room temperature, 10$0^{\circ}C$, 20$0^{\circ}C$ under vacuum) and annealing temperatures(400 $^{\circ}C$, 600 $^{\circ}C$ for 30 min after the deposition). We found that these adhesion was increased in order of slide glass, sapphire, and alumina. The adhesion of the Cu thin films on alumina was high value about 4 times, compared with that of the Cu thin films on slide glass. We found that these resistivities were decreased with increasing substrate temperature and thin film thickness. The resistivity(2.05 $\mu$Ω\ulcornercm) of the Cu thin films with 6000 $\AA$ thickness at 200 $^{\circ}C$ on the slide glass was low value, compared with that of aluminum(2.66 $\mu$Ω\ulcornercm).

Recently, the advent of electro-active papers (EAPap) actuators has been reported. In this paper, the possibility of the actuators is demonstrated. EAPap is a paper that produces large displacement with small force under an electrical excitation. EAPap is made with a chemically treated paper by constructing thin electrodes on both sides of the paper. When electrical voltage is applied on the electrodes the EAPap produces bending displacement. To improve the bending performance of EAPap, different paper fibers-softwood, hardwood, bacteria cellulose, cellophane, carbon mixture paper, electrolyte containing paper and Korean traditional paper, in conjunction with additive chemicals were tested. Two attempts were made to construct the electrodes: the direct use of aluminum foil and the gold sputtering technique. It was found that a cellophane paper exhibits a remarkable bending performance. When 2MV/m of excitation voltage was applied on the paper actuator, more than 3mm of tip displacement was observed out of the 30 mm long paper beam. This is quite low excitation voltage compared to that of other EAPs. The actuation principle of electro-active paper (EAPap) and possible applications are addressed.

Magnesium alloy has been known as lightweight material in automobile and electronic industry with aluminum alloy, titanium alloy and plastic material. Friction welding is useful to join various metals and nonferrous metals that are difficult to join by such as gas welding, resistance welding and electronic beam welding. In this study, friction joining was performed to investigate mechanical properties of Mg alloy with 20mm diameter solid bar. Also the optimal joining conditions for its application were determined on the basis of tensile test, and hardness survey. The joining parameters were chosen as heating pressure, heating time, upsetting pressure, and upsetting time. Heating and upsetting pressure were executed under the range of 10~40MPa and 20~80MPa, respectively. From the experimental results, optimal joining conditions were determined as follows; rotating speed=2000rpm, heating pressure=35MPa, upsetting pressure=70MPa, heating time=1sec, upsetting time=5sec. Also the hardness of jointed boundary showed as HV50 which was similar to that of base metal at the optimal condition, and it was supposed that zone of HAZ was 8mm. Finally two materials were strongly mixed at interface part to show a well-combined microstructure without particle growth or any defect.

진공증착을 이용하여 제조된 알루미늄 박막은 증착 조건에 따라 그 특성이 현저히 달라지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히, 진공도와 증착율에 따라 비저항과 반사율, 표면 색상 등이 크게 달라지며 이에 따라 적절한 증발원 및 증착 방법의 선택이 박막의 특성을 좌우하게 된다. 알루미늄은 융점이 낮은 반면 증기화되는 온도가 높을 뿐만 아니라 고온에서는 대부분의 내화물 금속과 반응하기 때문에 저항가열 증발원을 이용하여 증발시키기가 매우 까다로운 물질중의 하나이다. 또한 전자빔으로 증발시킬 경우에는 열전도도가 커서 수냉 도가니를 통해 열이 빠져나가기 때문에 효과적인 증발을 위해서는 고전력을 투입해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 한편, 스퍼터링 증발원을 이용하여 알루미늄을 증착하면 낮은 증착율로 인해 반사율과 같은 제반 특성이 현저히 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 알루미늄 박막의 제조를 위한 최적의 증발원과 증착 방법을 소개하고 증착 조건과 박막 특성의 상관성 자료를 소개하였다. 이를 위해 각종 저항가열 및 전자빔 증발원 그리고 스퍼터링을 이용한 증발 실험 결과를 소개하고 증발원에 따른 알루미늄 박막의 특성 변화 그리고 제반 증착 조건이 박막의 특성에 미치는 영향을 소개하였다.
