This study explores methods for modeling the foundation-seabed interaction needed for the load analysis of an offshore wind energy system. It comprises the comparison study of foundation design load analyses for NREL 5 MW turbine according to various soil-foundation interaction models by conducting the load analysis with GH-Bladed, analysis software for offshore wind energy systems. Furthermore, the results of the aforementioned load analysis were applied to foundation analysis software called L-Pile to conduct a safety review of the foundation cross-section design. Differences in the cross-section of a monopile foundation were observed based on the results of the fixed model, winkler spring and coupled spring models, and the analysis of design load cases, including DLC 1.3, DLC 6.1a, and DLC 6.2a. Consequently, under all design load conditions, the diameter and thickness of the monopile foundation cross-section were found to be 7 m and 80 mm, respectively, using the fixed and coupled spring models; the results of the analysis conducted using the winkler spring model showed that the diameter and thickness of the monopile foundation cross-section were 5 m and 60 mm, respectively. The study found that the soil-foundation interaction modeling method had a significant impact on the load analysis results, which determined the cross-section of a foundation. Based on this study, it is anticipated that designing an offshore wind energy system foundation taking the above impact into account would reduce the possibility of a conservative or unconservative design of the foundation.

DLC 박막을 RF 플라즈마 화학증착법(PECVD)을 이용하여 CH4와 CO2기체로부터 합성하였다. 증착압력, CH4와 CO2가스의 조성비, 바이어스 전압(-VB) 등의 증착조건 변화에 따른 증착속도는 증착층의 두께를 알파스텝으로 측정하여 결정하였으며, 박막의 구조 변화에 따른 증착속도는 증착층의 두께를 알파스텝으로 측정하여 결정하였으며, 박막의 구조 변화는 FTIR 분광분석을 이용하여 분석을 행하였다. 이 연구로부터 얻은 실험 결과는 다음과 같다: 1) 증착속도는 증착압력 및 바이어스 전압의 증가에 따라 증가한다. 2)바이어스 전압 300V이상에서, CO2량 증가는 순증착속도를 증가 시킨다. 3) 순수한 CH4가스를 사용할 경우에는 바이어스전압(-VB)이 증가함에 따라 박막내 수소의 함량과 sp3/sp2비는 감소하는 경향을 나타낸다. 4)증착압력이 증가함에 따라 박막내 수소함량은 증가하며, sp3/sp2비는 감소한다. 5)50mTorr의 증착압력에 증착시, CH4-+Co2 혼합가스에서 이산화탄소의 부피분율에 따라서는 박막내 수소함량은 감소하며, sp3/sp2비는 증가한다.

Effect of nitrogen doping on field emission characteristics of patterned Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) films was studied. The patterned DLC films were fabricated by the method reported previously[1]. Nitrogen doping in DLC film was carried out by introducing $N_2$ gas into the vacuum chamber during deposition. Higher emission current density of $0.3{\sim}0.4$ $mA/cm^2$ was observed for the films with 6 at % N than the undoped films but the emission current density decreased with further increase of N contents. Some changes in CN bonding characteristics with increasing N contents were observed. The CN bonding characteristics which seem to affect the electron emission properties of these films were studied by Raman spectroscopy, x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The electrical resistivity and the optical band gap measurements showed consistence with the above analyses.

This study was conducted to synthesize the diamond like carbon films by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The effects of gas composition on growth and mechanical properties of the films were investigated. A little amount of hydrogen or oxygen were added to base gas mixture of methane and argon. Methane dissociation and diamond like carbon nucleation were enhanced by installing negatively bias grid near substrate. The deposited films were indentified as hard diamond like carbon films by micro-Raman spectroscopy. The surface and fractured cross section of the films which were observed by scanning electron microscopy showed that film growth is very slow as about 0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$/hour, and relatively uniform with hydrogen addition. Vickers hardness of tungsten carbide (WC) cutting tool increased from about 1000 to 1600~1800 by deposition of DLC film, that of commercial TiN coated tool was about 1270. In cutting test of aluminum 6061 alloy, DLC coated cutting tool showed 1/3 or lower crater and flank wear than TiN coated or non-coated WC cutting tools.

The two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) diamond-like carbon (DLC) stamps for ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) were fabricated using two kinds of methods, which were a DLC coating process followed by the focused ion beam (FIB) lithography and the two-photon polymerization (TPP) patterning followed by nano-scale thick DLC coating. We fabricated 70 nm deep lines with a width of 100 nm and 70 nm deep lines with a width of 150 nm on 100 nm thick DLC layers coated on quartz substrates using the FIB lithography. 200 nm wide lines, 3D rings with a diameter of $1.35\;{\mu}m$ and a height of $1.97\;{\mu}m$, and a 3D cone with a bottom diameter of $2.88\;{\mu}m$ and a height of $1.97\;{\mu}m$ were successfully fabricated using the TPP patterning and DLC coating process. The wafers were successfully printed on an UV-NIL using the DLC stamp. We could see the excellent correlation between the dimensions of features of stamp and the corresponding imprinted features.

다이아몬드상 탄소 박막(Diamond-like carbon, DLC) 박막은 낮은 마찰 계수, 높은 내마모성, 화학적 안정성, 적외선 영역에서의 높은 투과율 등의 장점을 바탕으로 MEMS (Micro-Electro Mechanical System) 소자와 MMAs (Moving Mechanical Assemblies)의 고체윤활코팅, 마그네틱 미디어와 하드디스크의 슬라이딩 표면 등 다양한 분야에 코팅소재로써 응용되어왔다 [1,2]. 현재 전기철도용 집전판은 마찰이 적고 전도성을 지니는 카본 소재로 구성되어 있다. 그러나 그 마모 비율이 너무 심하여 이를 개선할 수 있는 방안으로 고경도 저마찰력을 지니는 DLC 박막을 코팅 소재로써 제안하고자 한다. 그러나 기존에 DLC 박막은 절연특성이 매우 우수하기 때문에 기존에 전도성을 지니는 카본 집전판에 적용하기에는 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 DLC 박막 내에 실리콘(Si) 또는 금속(Metal)을 첨가시키거나, 금속 중간층을 포함시켜 전기적으로 전도특성을 향상시키는 방안이 제시되고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 DLC 박막과 유사하게 우수한 경도특성을 지니고, 낮은 마찰계수등을 지니는 비정질 탄소박막을 연구하여 카본 집전판에 코팅하고자하며, 특히 비정질 탄소박막에 금속 Ti를 도핑하여 집전판과의 접착력과 전기적 전도 특성을 향상시키고자 한다. Ti가 도핑된 탄소박막(TiC) 박막은 비대칭 마그네트론 스퍼터링(unbalanced magnetron sputtering; UBMS) 시스템을 이용하여 제작하였으며, 스퍼터링 조건 중 기판에 인가되어지는 기판온도에 따라 변화되어지는 TiC 박막의 트라이볼로지(Tribology) 특성을 고찰하고자 하였다. 증착시 기판온도의 증가는 TiC 박막의 경도, 마찰계수 특성등 트라이볼로지 특성을 향상시켰으며, 전기적 전도 특성을 향상시켰다. 이러한 결과는 스퍼터링 방법에 의해 증착되어진 TiC 박막내에 존재하는 sp2 결합과 관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있으며, 트라이 볼로지 특성은 TiC 박막내에 sp2 탄소결합의 비율 증가와 관련되어졌다. 특히 sp2 탄소결합은 TiC 박막 증착시 증가된 기판온도와 밀접한 관계가 있으며 기판온도의 증가에 따라 나노결정 클러스터의 크기와 수의 변화와 밀접한 관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 결국 기판온도는 TiC 박막의 트라이볼로지 특성을 향상시켰으며, 전기적 특성 또한 향상시켜 전기철도 집전판에 응용을 위한 소재로 평가할 수 있다.

Nano/micro friction with the contact area was studied on Si-wafer (100) and diamond-like carbon (DLC) film. Borosilicate balls of radii $0.32{\mu}m,\;0.5{\mu}m,\;1.25{\mu}m\;and\;2.5{\mu}m$ mounted on the top of AFM tip (NPS) were used for nano-scale contact and Soda Lime glass balls of radii 0.25mm, 0.5mm, 1mm were used for micro-scale contact. At nano-scale, the friction between ball and surface was measured with the applied normal load using an atomic force microscope (AFM), and at micro scale it was measured using ball-on flat type micro-tribotester. All the experiments were conducted at controlled conditions of temperature $(24\pm1^{\circ}C)$ and humidity $(45\pm5\%)$. Friction was measured as a function of applied normal load in the range of 0-160nN at nano scale and in the range of $1000{\mu}N,\; 1500{\mu}N,\;3000{\mu}N\;and\;4800{\mu}N$ at micro scale. Results showed that the friction at nano scale increased with the applied normal load and ball size for both kinds of samples. Similar behavior of friction with the applied normal load and ball size was observed for Si-wafer at micro scale. However, for DLC friction decreased with the ball size. This difference of in behavior of friction in DLC nano- and microscale was attribute to the difference in the operating mechanisms. The evidence of the operating mechanisms at micro-scale were observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). At micro-scale, solid-solid adhesion was dominant in Silicon-wafer, while plowing in DLC. Contrary to the nano scale that shows almost a wear-less situation, wear was prominent at micro-scale. At nano- and micro-scale, effect of contact area on the friction was discussed with the different applied normal load and ball size.

Background: RhoGTPase-activating proteins (RhoGAPs) regulate RhoGTPases in cells, but whether individual reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate RhoGAPs is unknown. Our previous published papers have shown that deleted in liver cancer 1 (DLC1) inhibits cancer cell migration by its RhoGAP activity. The present study was designed to explore the role of $H_2O_2$ in regulation of DLC1. Materials and Methods: We treated cells with $H_2O_2$ for 24h and phenotypic changes were analyzed by MTT, RT-PCR, Western blotting, immunofluorescence staining and wound healing assays. Results: $H_2O_2$ downregulated cyclin D1 and cyclin E to inhibit proliferation, and upregulated BAX to induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. Compared with non-tumorigenic cells, $H_2O_2$ increased expression of DLC1 and reduced activity of RhoA in cancer cells. Stress fiber production and migration were also suppressed by $H_2O_2$ in MDA-MB-231 cells. Conclusions: Our study suggests that $H_2O_2$ inhibits proliferation through modulation of cell cycle and apoptosis-related genes, and inhibits migration by decreasing stress fibers via DLC1/RhoA signaling.
