The effect of nitrogen doping on the mechanical and tribological performance of single-layer tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C:N) coatings of up to $1{\mu}m$ in thickness was investigated using a custom-made filtered cathode vacuum arc (FCVA). The results obtained revealed that the hardness of the coatings decreased from $65{\pm}4.8GPa$ to $25{\pm}2.4GPa$ with increasing nitrogen gas ratio, which indicates that nitrogen doping occurs through substitution in the $sp^2$ phase. Subsequent AES analysis showed that the N/C ratio in the ta-C:N thick-film coatings ranged from 0.03 to 0.29 and increased with the nitrogen flow rate. Variation in the G-peak positions and I(D)/I(G) ratio exhibit a similar trend. It is concluded from these results that micron-thick ta-C:N films have the potential to be used in a wide range of functional coating applications in electronics. To achieve highly conductive and wear-resistant coatings in system components, the friction and wear performances of the coating were investigated. The tribological behavior of the coating was investigated by sliding an SUJ2 ball over the coating in a ball-on-disk tribo-meter. The experimental results revealed that doping using a high nitrogen gas flow rate improved the wear resistance of the coating, while a low flow rate of 0-10 sccm increased the coefficient of friction (CoF) and wear rate through the generation of hematite (${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$) phases by tribo-chemical reaction. However, the CoF and wear rate dramatically decreased when the nitrogen flow rate was increased to 30-40 sccm, due to the nitrogen inducing phase transformation that produced a graphite-like structure in the coating. The widths of the wear track and wear scar were also observed to decrease with increasing nitrogen flow rate. Moreover, the G-peaks of the wear scar around the SUJ2 ball on the worn surface increased with increasing nitrogen doping.

Interference scenarios and methodologies between a terrestrial mobile service (MS) system and mobile-satellite service (MSS) system in a co-channel environment are established. Taking into account a practical deployment situation for both systems, we perform computational simulation of interference in terms of carrier-to-interference ratio (C/I) and interference-to-noise ratio (I/N) to evaluate the cofrequency interference from an MS system into an MSS system, and from an MSS system into an MS system, respectively. The methodology and results can be used as a guide when planning the deployment of MSS and MS systems with no unacceptable interference impact between them.

In this study, CT specimens were prepared from AST SA516 Gr. 70 which was used for pressure vessel plates for room and low temperature service. And we got the following characteristics from fatigue crack growth test carried out in the environment of room and low temperature at 25$^{\circ}C $, -60$^{\circ}C $, -80$^{\circ}C $ and -100$^{\circ}C $ and in the range of stress ratio of 0.05, 0.3 by means of opening mode displacement. At the constant stress ratio, the threshold stress intensity factor range ${\delta} K_{th}$ in the early stage of fatigue crack growth (Region I) and stress intensity factor range $\delta $K in the stable of fatigue crack growth (Region II) were increased in proportion to descending temperature. It was assumed that the fatigue resistance characteristics and fracture strength at low temperature is considerable higher than that of room temperature in the early stage and stable of fatigue crack growth region. The straight line slope relation of logarithm da/dN -$\delta $K in Region II, that is, the fatigue crack growth exponent m increased with descending temperature at the constant stress ratio. It was assumed that the fatigue crack growth rate da/dN is rapid in proportion to descending temperature in Region II and the cryogenic-brittleness greatly affect a material with decreasing temperature.

Formation of Solid Solution and Microstructure in Processureless sintered SiC-AlN compo-site using oxides as a sintering aid at 185$0^{\circ}C$ and 195$0^{\circ}C$ Regardless of SiC/AlN ratio in composition most of sintered specimens showed he complex structure mixed with 2H solid solution and SiC particles. High sintering temperature and large AlN content in starting composition enhanced the formation of 2H solid solution in sintered specimen 2H solid solution showed the spherical shape and core-rim structure. AlN content in the core is higher than that in the rim but SiC content . The size of 2H solid solution on fracture showed the transgranular fracture mode compared with the dispersed SiC particles which showed the intergranular fracture mode.

The preparatin of the fine TiN powders by reduction-nitridation of TiCl3-Al-N2 system was attempted in the temperature range from 350$^{\circ}$to 100$0^{\circ}C$. The formation mechanism and kinetics of TiN were examined, and the resultant TiN powder was characterized by means of XRD, PSA and SEM-EPMA methods. TiN was formed at temperatrue higher than $600^{\circ}C$. As an intermediate phase, AlTi was obtained. The apparent activation energy for the formation of TiN was approximately 4.2kcal/mole(600$^{\circ}$~90$0^{\circ}C$). The crystallite size and lattice constnat of TiN powder obtained in the temperature range from 600$^{\circ}$to 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 2h at the Al/TiCl3 molar ratio of 1.0 were 160~255A and 4.231~4.239A, respectively. According to PSA measurement, the mean particle size ranged from 14.0 to 14.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

(Ti, Al)N films were deposited on 304 stainless steel by D.C. magnetron sputtering using Al target and Ti plate. The properties of (Ti, Al)N films such as composition, microhardness, grain size, crystal structure were investigated. The chemical composition of (Ti, Al)N films was similar to the sputter area ratio of titanium to aluminum target by means of EDS and AES survey. The higher bias voltage to substrate and the smaller input of N2 gas showedthe increased microhardness and the finer grain size of the films. The results obtained from this study show, it is belived, that the (Ti, Al)N film by D.C.magne-tron sputtering is promising in the wear resistance use.

A study of the dependence of the magnetoresistance in $glass\[Cu_{x\AA}\NiFe_{50\AA}\Cu_{x\AA}\Co_{50\AA}](X;\=\;8,\;10,\;14,\;18,\;22,\;26,\;28,\;38,\;48,\;58\;\AA,\;N\;=\;2,\;3,\;4,\;10,\;20)$ multilayers prepared by dc magnetron sputtering on the interlayer thickness of Cu (X), the number of multylayer(N) and annealing temperature has been performed. Resistance measurement were made by four terminal method, and the magnetic field applied to perpendicular and parallel for the current. The maximum magnetoresistance(MR) ratio(%) was appeared in the vicinity of $10\;\AA$ in Cu layer, and it was oscillated with the thickness of Cu. The MR ratio was increased with the number of layers N, however the ratio for the N = 4 layers decreased rather than the N = 3 layers. The dependence of the ratio on the annealing temperature was increased to $250^{\circ}C$.

Hydrogenated amorphous carbon nitride [a-C:H(N)] films were deposited on pretreated silicon(100) substrate in activated gas phase using. RF plasma-assisted CVD. We measured the FT-IR spectrum to investigate $C{\equiv}N$ stretching mode(nitrile), C-H stretching mode, C-H bending mode, C=C stretching mode C=N(imino) mode, and the EDX to investigate the ratio of N to C(0.25). By the results of FT-IR and EDX spectrum, We confirmed that hydrogenated amorphous carbon nitride films successfully were synthesized by RF-PACVD

Beijerinckia indica was cultured in mineral salts medium (MSM) medium with various carbon and nitrogen sources to improve the production yield of heteropolysaccharide-7 (PS-7). At high C/N ratio, the high concentration of PS-7 was produced until 40 h of the culture, whereas most of the glucose as a carbon source was used for the cell growth at low C/N ratio. However, at the high C/N ratio, PS-7 accumulation stopped at 48 h of the culture due to the increasing viscosity of the culture broth would inhibit the cell growth. Therefore, the optimized value of C/N ratio was 33.3 (20 g/L glucose, 7.5 mM $NH_{4}NO_3$) for the high production of PS-7. In the culture with various carbon sources, B. indica effectively used the hexoses or glucose-generating sugars for PS-7 formation. Especially, sucrose was the best carbon source for the high production of PS-7 (6.96 g/L) with a high viscosity (40772 cp). In the culture of B. indica with MSM medium containing 20 g/L glucose and 7.5 mM $NH_{4}NO_3$ in a 51 fermentor, the highest cell concentration was 2.5 g/L and the highest concentration of PS-7 was 7.5 g/L (35174 cp). The additional nitrogen sources of 7.5 mM $NH_{4}NO_3$, glutamine and glutamate at 12 h of the culture after exhaustion of a nitrogen source regulated the metabolism of carbon sources, therefore the nitrogen sources could control PS-7 synthesis.
