Polyimide is widely used as a high-temperature insulating material. Space charge distributions in polyimide (PI) films strongly depend upon electric field, temperature, water content and so on. We observed space charge distributions in PI films with various water contents. When a dc field was applied to as-received PI films or water-treated PI films, positive and negative homo space charges were observed near the respective electrodes at 333 K. In dried PI films, the homo space charges were much reduced, and positive and negative hetero space charges in the bulk were clearly observed. The space charge amounts in water-treated PI films were smaller than in as-received ones, while the current density in water-treated PI film was larger than that in as-received one by two or more orders of magnitude. These suggest not only that the charge injection from the electrode is enhanced by absorbed water but also that absorbed water makes carriers mobile. The decay of space charge was also faster in water-treated PI than in as-received or dried one. This also supports the enhancement of apparent mobilities of carriers in PI by absorbed water.

The magnetic and transport properties far single crystals of Ru-doped mono-layered manganites $La_{0.5}Sr_{1.5}-Mn_{1-x}Ru_xO_4$ (0$\leq$$\chi$$\leq$0.1) have been studied using neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements. Temperature dependent magnetization data reveal that with an increase in the Ru concentration the parent charge ordered antiferromagnetic state is gradually destroyed and new ferromagnetic phase evolves. In the low Ru-doped system spin glass behavior is apparent in low temperature region, which is confirmed by ac and do magnetization measurements. The competing magnetic interaction between Mn/Mn and Mn/Ru couples is the most likely cause of the spin glass transition.

The complete neglect of differential overlap (CNDO/2) approximate wavefunctions have been applied to select the preferred signs for the dipole moment derivatives of SiH$_{4}$ and SiD$_{4}$ in conjunction with the experimental alternatives. The apparent sign discrepancy from earlier report has been identified. The effective atomic charge for hydrogen was found to be X$_{H}$/e = 0.229, more than two times larger in comparison with the values of typical hydrocarbons like CH$_{4}$. The anomalously large effective hydrogen charge was interpreted based on a quantum mechanical model as well as the value of atom anisotropy relative to effective atomic charge.

The apparent molal volumes(${\phi}_v$) of the homologous salts $RNH_3Cl$, where R varies from methyl-($CH_{3^-}$) to n-butyl-(n-$C_4H_{9^-}$) in a series of methanol-water mixtures have been determined at 30$^{\circ}C$ by means of a float method to fifth decimal places down to 0.01 m. The values of ${\phi}_r$ extrapolated to infinite dilution give partial molal volumes $\bar{V}^{\circ}$which varies considerably in accordance with the solvent composition. that is, mole fraction of methanol. The experimental results are discussed in terms of the varying size and charge effect, hydrophobic nature of the solute species, and also the additivity relationship between successive homologous and the structure of the binary solvent. The results indicate that at 0.1 mole fraction methanol the enhanced structuredness of water cause a minimum in the partial molal volumes of cations $\bar{V}^{\circ}_+$, while at 0.4 mole fraction the solvent structure is such that the free volume is a minimum but the effect of electrostriction is a maximum.

The response property of the CZT detector ($5{\times}5{\times}5\;mm^3$), widely used in photon spectroscopy, was evaluated by considering the charge collection efficiency, which depends on the interaction position of incident radiation, A quantitative analysis of the energy spectra obtained from the CZT detector was also performed to investigate the tail effect at the low energy side of the full energy peak. The collection efficiency of electrons and holes to the two electrodes (i.e., cathode and anode) was calculated from the Hecht equation, and radiation transport analysis was performed by two Monte Carlo codes, Geant4 and MCNPX. The radiation source was assumed to be 59.5 keV gamma rays emitted from a $^{241}Am$ source into the cathode surface of this detector, and the detector was assumed to be biased to 500 V between the two electrodes. Through the comparison of the results between the Geant4 calculation considering the charge collection efficiency and the ideal case from MCNPX, an pronounced difference of 4 keV was found in the full energy peak position. The tail effect at the low energy side of the full energy peak was confirmed to be caused by the collection efficiency of electrons and holes. In more detail, it was shown that the tail height caused by the charge collection efficiency went up to 1000 times the pulse height in the same energy bin at the calculation without considering the charge collection efficiency. It is, therefore, apparent that research considering the charge collection efficiency is necessary in order to properly analyze the characteristics of CZT detectors.

The ballistic capability of an alumina-rich oxide armor ceramic against a shaped jet was characterized as a function of penetration depth in a layered target structure. The penetration resistance of the ceramic, based upon the determination of penetration velocity, was not equally realized throughout the depth of penetration. It was abnormally low at an early stage of penetration, followed by a sudden increase to reach ~16GPa thereafter. There was no apparent change in such a profile with respect to the lateral size of the specimen. Based upon 2-D flash x-ray radiography and 3-D Hull code simulation, the feasibility of forming a pressure-induced predamnaged zone in front of the jet tip was speculated to foster an increased penetration velocity in the initial stage penetration, resulting in the diminished penetration resistance. The disappearance of such a predamaged zone with penetration was interpreted to restore the resistance of the ceramic in the later penetration stage.

The charge transfer rate in polypyrrole(PPy) electropolymerized within poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene)(PAB) was compared with that in PPy deposited Pt electrodes by using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and chronopotentiometry in acetonitrile. For both electrodes anodic and cathodic peak currents were proportional to scan rates below 100 mV/sec, but to square root of scan rates beyond 200 mV/sec. The apparent diffusion coefficient of $ClO{_4}^-$ in the PPy/PAB composite is estimated to be 1.6 times larger than that in PPy. The PPy films composited within PAB layer showed higher anodic and cathodic currents and possessed faster charging-discharging process and larger capacity.

The apparent depth of space charge region on the ZnO $(10{\bar{1}}0)$ surface in chemisorption of oxygen has been estimated from the capacitance of two contacting faces. When the sample (donor concentration: $2.4{\times}10^{22}\;m^{-3}$) was evacuated at 773 K for 1 hr the depth reached to 40-100 ${\AA}$ depending on sample assembly. Admission of oxygen to the sample resulted in an increase of the depth to 3600 ${\AA}$ where the increment was greater at higher oxygen pressure between 6.6-1600 $N/m^2$. Admission of CO to the sample previously exposed to oxygen yields a decrease in the depth. The results of the measurement support that oxygen is adsorbed as an acceptor on ZnO $(10{\bar{1}}0)$.

The flow properties of binder latices for paper coating were investigated, together with dynamic viscoelastic properties of latex films and electron micrographs of latices, under various conditions. The amphoteric latex, binder pigment latex and anionic latex were used in this work. The amphoteric latex has both anionic and cationic functional group on its surface. The binder-pigment with a core-shell structure has dual functions : plastic pigment and binder. The low shear viscosity of binder latices and clay slurry were measured with Brookfield vis cometer. At low-shear rates. the viscosity decreased with increasing particle size of latex. On the amphoteric latex surface, the carboxyl groups are assumed to be fully dissociated over the region of pH 9~12, but the density of negative groups seems to be increased because of the gradual decrease in the degree of dissociation of amino groups. Since the apparent particle size of latex increases with surface charge, the electroviscous effect can be observed. On the anionic latex surface, the charge density is assumed to be nearly constant above pH 8. However, below pH 8 the coagulation of particles could be observed probably because of the decrease in the charge density.

In general, DI gasoline engine has the advantages of higher power output, higher thermal efficiency, higher EGR tolerance and lower emissions due to the operation characteristics of increased volumetric efficiency, compression ratio and ultra-lean combustion scheme. In order to apply the concept of stratified charge into direct injection gasoline engine, some kinds of methodologies have been adapted in various papers. In this study, a reflector was adapted around the injector nozzle to apply the concept of stratified charge combustion which leads the air-fuel mixture to be rich near spark plug. Therefore, the mixture near the spark plug is locally rich to ignite while the lean mixture is wholly introduced into the combustion chamber. The characteristics of combustion is analyzed with the variations of fuel injection pressure and load in a stratified -charge direct injection single cylinder gasoline engine. The obtained results are summarized as follows ; 1. The MBT spark timing approached to TDC with the increase of load on account of the increase of evaporation energy, but has little relation with fuel injection pressure. 2. The stratification effects are apparent with the increase of injection pressure. It is considered by the development of secondary diffusive combustion and the increase of heat release of same region, but proceed rapidly than diesel engine. Especially, in the case of high pressure injection (l70bar) and high load (3.0kgf m), the diffusive combustion parts are developed excessively and results in the decrease of peak pressure than in the case of middle load. 3. The index of engine stability, COVimep value, is drastically decreased with the increase of load. 4. To get better performance of DI gasoline engine development, staged optimizaion must be needed such as injection pressure, reflector, intake swirl, injection timing, chamber shape, ignition system and so on. In this study, the I50bar injection pressure is appeared as the optimum.
