Electrons in graphene make ballistic transport with very high mobility (${\sim}2{\times}105 $cm2V-1s-1), which holds promises for applications in fast electronic devices. However, such expectations have been hampered by the semi-metallicity or zero bandgap of graphene, which makes it impossible to completely turn off graphene transistor devices. Here, we report the observations of local bandgap modulations in Moir$\acute{e}$ patterned graphene on metal substrates using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. The Moir$\acute{e}$ patterned graphene was made by combinations of self-assembly processes, and they showed additional electronic states that could be interpreted as sub-band states. Our experimental observations could be explained with orbital transitions of carbon atoms from sp2 to sp3, as supported by our density functional theory calculation results. Our findings will add new poweful components for device applications.

This paper deals with the simulation-based design optimization and experimental validation of the characteristics of an in-core silver Self-Powered Neutron Detector (SPND). Optimized dimensions of the SPND are determined by combining Monte Carlo simulations and analytical methods. As a first step, the Monte Carlo transport code MCNPX is used to follow the trajectory and fate of the neutrons emitted from an external source. This simulation is able to seamlessly integrate various phenomena, including neutron slowing-down and shielding effects. Then, the expected number of beta particles and their energy spectrum following a neutron capture reaction in the silver emitter are fetched from the TENDEL database using the JANIS software interface and integrated with the data from the first step to yield the origin and spectrum of the source electrons. Eventually, the MCNPX transport code is used for the Monte Carlo calculation of the ballistic current of beta particles in the various regions of the SPND. Then, the output current and the maximum insulator thickness to avoid breakdown are determined. The optimum design of the SPND is then manufactured and experimental tests are conducted. The calculated design parameters of this detector have been found in good agreement with the obtained experimental results.

인공위성 발사를 위한 우주발사체는 효율적인 비행을 위하여 다단으로 구성이 되며 단분리, 연료점화 및 연소종료 등의 비행이벤트를 거쳐서 임무를 완수하게 된다. 이 과정에서 발사체는 추력이 발생하는 동력비행구간과 추력이 없는 탄도비행구간의 과정을 반복하여 겪게 된다. 이러한 우주 발사체의 비행특성을 하나의 동력학 모델로 표현하기는 어렵기 때문에 다중모델을 사용하는 추적 알고리즘에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되어 왔다. 다중모델 추적 알고리즘을 사용하는 경우에는 추적 성능의 개선을 기대할 수 있지만, 사용할 각 동력학 모델들을 적절히 선정해야 하는 어려움이 있으며 또한 다중모델 사용으로 인해 계산양이 증가하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 등가속도 모델과 적응형 Singer 모델을 사용하는 두 개의 칼만필터만으로 다양한 비행특성을 가지는 우주발사체를 효과적으로 추적하는 방법을 제안한다.
