This study is to discuss simulation results with 51 principal chemical reactions in non-thermal plasma space under atmospheric pressure, and the ambient gas was mainly composed of oxygen and nitrogen molecules. The initial density of O and OH radicals under the ambient temperature of 300K is largely generated in comparison with other higher temperature, and the density of O radical decreased from $20{\mu}s$ according to increase the temperature. The initial density of OH radical seemed to decrease steeply at the initial stage. By increasing the initial density of $H_2O$ molecules, O radical's effect was few and the density of OH radical was largely generated about 2 times. In addition, ozone density was increased as increasing the density of O radical, but it was decreased as increasing the density of $H_2O$. In case of the temperature more than 300K, $NO_2$ tend to be removed, but NO was increased than the initial density.

In this study, the effects of forming gas post metallization annealing (PMA) on recessed AlGaN/GaN-on-Si MOSHFET were investigated. The device employed an ICPCVD $SiO_2$ film as a gate oxide layer on which a Ni/Au gate was evaporated. The PMA process was carried out at $350^{\circ}C$ in forming gas ambient. It was found that the device instability was improved with significant reduction in interface trap density by forming gas PMA.

In order to investigate the spray characteristics according to diesel and bioethanol blending with biodiesel fuel, macroscopic spray characteristics were analyzed from the comparison of the effect of the injection pressure, ambient pressure and density on the spray tip penetration and spray cone angle. In addition, spray atomization characteristics were studied with local and overall Sauter mean diameter (SMD) and the contour map of SMD distribution at various injection conditions. It was revealed that the spray tip penetration of biodiesel fuels blended with diesel and ethanol was shorter than that of an undiluted biodiesel fuel at low injection pressure. However, the difference of spray tip penetration among three test fuels reduces at a high injection pressure. Increase of the ambient gas density leads to the decrease of the spray tip penetration of three test fuels. When diesel and ethanol fuels add to an undiluted biodiesel fuel, spray cone angle increases due to the decrease of the fuel density at the same ambient pressure condition. On the other hand, the droplet mean diameter decreases due to the reduction of the kinematic viscosity and surface tension.

The structural properties of $HfO_2$ films could be improved by thermal treatment owing to their crystallization. We deposited $HfO_2$ films on sapphire by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering, whose base vacuum pressure was lower than $4.5{\times}10^{-6}$ Pa, RF power was 100 W, working temperature was $200^{\circ}C$, working pressure was 3 mTorr, and the density of the active gas (Argon) was 20 sccm. After depositing the $HfO_2$ films, the samples were thermally treated by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in $O_2$ ambient at different temperatures. Subsequently, the measured physical properties (structural, morphological, and optical) indicated that the crystallite size, refractive index at a wavelength of 632 nm, and packing density increased with rising temperatures. In particular, an $HfO_2$ film thermally treated at $800^{\circ}C$ in $O_2$ ambient had the highest refractive index of 2.0237 and packing density of 0.9638. The relation between optical and structural properties was also analyzed.

Characteristics of a diesel spray impingement with the variation of ambient temperature, wall temperature and ambient pressure were investigated through shadowgraphy method by using high speed camera. The radial penetration of spray was increased with ambient temperature and wall temperature. It is resulted from the decrease of ambient gas density caused by the increase of temperature. The height of spray was also increased with ambient temperature and wall temperature, because the height of stagnate region is noticeably increased, although height of wall jet vortex is decreased. At the same ambient pressure, the area ratio of impinging spray of room temperature environment to high temperature environment was increased, as the temperature difference between room temperature and high temperature increases. And the increment of area ratio was higher at low ambient pressure than high ambient pressure.

An experimental work was conducted to investigate a feasibility of simultaneous measurement of gas-liquid two-phase flowrates with double orifice plates using air and water. The tests were carried out under the atmospheric pressure and at the ambient temperature using two different tube sizes. Qualities of an air-water flow in the present study have values less than 0.1 and thus the mixed flow showed bubbly, plug, slug flow regimes. The probability density function (PDF) and the power spectral density function (PSDF) of the instantaneous pressure drop traces for the flow regimes were obtained. It is found that some distinctive features exist in the distribution of these functions, depending upon the two-phase flow pattern. The time-averaged value of the instantaneous pressure drop increases with increasing gas and liquid flowrates, showing a single-valued function for the total mass flowrate and the quality. It is also found that the two-phase discharge coefficient exhibits a consistent trend for variation of dimensionless parameters such as the superficial velocity ratio and the gas Reynolds number. The results indicate that simultaneous measurement of two-phase flowrate may be possible based upon a statistical analysis of the instantaneous pressure drop curves monitored using double orifice plates.

In this study, we investigated variations in undoped ZnO thin film properties with working pressure, $O_2$/Ar ratio, and annealing ambient. Higher vacuum pressure during deposition was observed to bring about slower growth rate resulting in samples with better crystallinity as well as hole generation efficiency through formation of shallower oxygen interstitial. Given that $O_2$/Ar ratio is greater than unity, O provided from the ambient to ZnO during annealing was found to preferably situate at interstitial sites. When He was used for the second annealing, significant changes were not observed. On the other hand, O ambient caused increased density of oxygen interstitial, thereby making the film more intrinsic-like high resistivity ZnO.

We study the feasibility of synthesizing Si particles using PLA method. In the previous studies, it was possible to control the size of Si nanoparticles by the He gas pressure. In this study, we fabricated sub-micron size Si particles with various shapes such as conical, hexagonal, and ring by controlling not only the ambient gas pressure but also the laser energy density. Furthermore, we found that the conical Si particles were uniform-sized and had step shape when observed from FE-SEM and AFM. The conical Si particle has the same crystal structure as the bulk single crystalline Si by the analysis of the Raman scattering. It is shown that the relationship between the laser energy density and the He gas pressure inside the chamber affects the shape of the Si particle.

The correlations for the prediction of maximum liquid-phase penetration in diesel spray are reviewed in this study. The existing models developed for the prediction of maximum liquid-phase penetration can be categorized as the zero-dimensional (empirical) model, the multi-dimensional model and the other model. The existing zero-dimensional model can be classified into four groups and the existing multidimensional models can be classified into three groups. The other model includes holistic hydraulic and spray model. The maximum liquid-phase penetration is mainly affected by nozzle diameter, fuel volatility, injection pressure, ambient gas pressure, ambient gas density and fuel temperature. In the case of empirical correlations incorporated with spray angle, the predicted results will be different according to the selection of correlation for spray angle. The research for the effect of boiling point temperatures on maximum liquid-phase penetration is required. In the case of multidimensional model, there exist problems of the grid and spray sub-models dependency effects.

We study X-ray characteristics of shocked ambient gas of the Galactic core-collapse supernova remnant Cas A. Using 1 Msec observation with Chandra X-ray Observatory, we identify thermal emissions from the shocked ambient gas along the outer boundary of the remnant. Our results show that Cas A is expanding into a circumstellar wind with a wind density n ~ 1 $cm^{-3}$ at the current outer radius of the remnant (~ 3 pc). We suggest that the progenitor star of Cas A, which exploded as a Type~IIb SN, had an initial mass ~16 Msun, and have lost ~10 Msun as a RSG wind. We discuss the implications of our results for the mass loss of massive stars and the resulting supernova type.
