We fabricated the silicon nanodots using the low pressure chemical vapor deposition technique to investigate their electron field emission characteristics. Atomic force microscope measurements performed for the silicon nanodot samples having various process parameters, such as, deposition time and deposition pressure, revealed that the silicon nanodots with an average size of 20 nm, height of 5 nm, and density of $1.3\;{\times}\;10^{11}\;cm^{-2}$ were easily formed. Electron field emission measurements were performed with the silicon nanodot layer as the cathode electrode. The current-voltage curves revealed that the threshold electric field was as low as $8.3\;V/{\mu}m$ and the field enhancement factor reached as large as 698, which is compatible with the silicon cathode tips fabricated by other techniques. These electron field emission results point to the possibility of using a silicon-based light source for display devices.

본 논문에서는 chipless RFID (radio frequency identification) 태그용 고감도 소형 공진기의 설계 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 고감도 소형 공진기는 기존의 전계-결합(ELC; electric field-coupled) 공진기에서 커패시터 모양의 스트립 구조 대신에 인터디지털-커패시터(IDC; interdigital-capacitor) 구조를 사용하였다. IDC 구조의 극판 길이가 기존의 커패시터 모양 구조 보다 더 길어 공진기의 등가 커패시턴스가 더 커지고, 이로 인해 레이다 단면적(RCS; radar cross section)의 공진 피크 주파수를 낮출 수 있다. 정사각형 루프의 길이와 스트립의 폭이 같은 두 공진기를 두께 0.8 mm의 RF-301 기판에 제작하였다. 실험 결과, ELC 공진기는 bistatic RCS의 공진 피크 주파수와 값은 4.305 GHz와 -30.39 dBsm이었다. 제안된 IDC 공진기의 경우 bistatic RCS의 공진 피크 주파수와 값은 3.295 GHz와 -36.91 dBsm이었다. 따라서 측정 공진 피크 주파수를 기준으로 공진기 크기가 23.5% 정도 소형화되었다.

As the size of market for electric vehicles and energy storage systems grows, the demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is increasing. Currently, commercial LIBs are fabricated with liquid electrolytes, which have some safety issues such as low chemical stability, which can cause ignition of fire. As a substitute for liquid electrolytes, solid electrolytes are now being extensively studied. However, solid electrolytes have disadvantages of low ionic conductivity and high resistance at interface between electrode and electrolyte. In this study, Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ (LLZO), one of the best ion conducting materials among oxide based solid electrolytes, is fabricated through RF-sputtering and various electrochemical properties are analyzed. Moreover, the electrochemical properties of LLZO are found to significantly improve with co-sputtered Li₂O. An all-solid thin film battery is fabricated by introducing a thin film solid electrolyte and an Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ (LTO) cathode; resulting electrochemical properties are also analyzed. The LLZO/Li₂O (60W) sample shows a very good performance in ionic conductivity of 7.3×10^-8 S/cm, with improvement in c-rate and stable cycle performance.

본 연구에서는 최근 저온접합 소재로 각광받고 있는 Ga과 대표적인 전극 물질인 Cu와의 반응연구를 실시하여 저온 솔더링 적용시 필요한 정보들을 확인하고자 하였다. 80-200℃ 온도범위에서 Ga과 Cu/Au 기판을 반응시켜 계면반응 및 금속간화합물(IMC) 성장을 관찰하고 분석하였다. 반응계면에서 성장하는 주요한 IMC는 CuGa₂ 상이었으며 그 상부에는 작은 입자크기를 가지는 AuGa₂ IMC 그리고 하부에는 얇은 띠 형상의 Cu₉Ga₄ IMC가 형성되었다. CuGa₂ 입자들은 scallop 형상을 보이며 Cu₆Sn₅ 성장의 경우와 비슷하게 반응시간이 증가함에 따라서 큰 형상변화없이 입자 크기가 증가하였다. CuGa₂ 성장기구를 분석한 결과 120-200℃ 온도범위에서 시간지수는 약 3.0으로 산출되었고, 활성화에너지는 17.7 kJ/mol로 측정되었다.

Dead ended anode (DEA) 시스템은 수소극(anode) 출구를 막고 압력으로 연료를 공급하는 방식이다. DEA 방식은 시스템 단순화를 통해 연료이용효율과 전력 효율을 향상시킬 수 있다. 하지만 DEA 운전 중 공기극(cathode)에서 수소극으로 질소와 물의 역확산으로 인한 범람(flooding)이 발생한다. 이러한 범람 현상은 연료전지 성능 저하와 전극 열화의 주요 요인이 된다. 따라서 DEA 운전 시 범람을 방지하기 위하여 연료전지 구조와 구성요소가 최적화되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 DEA 시스템에서 연료전지의 성능과 연료이용효율 향상을 위해 발포 금속을 적용한 다공성 유로에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 공기극에 다공성 유로를 사용한 경우 효과적인 물 관리로 연료전지 성능과 배출 간격(purge interval)이 개선되었고, 이를 통하여 공기극 유로 구조가 물 역확산에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 이에 반해 수소극의 다공성 유로가 연료전지 성능에 미치는 영향은 미미하였다. DEA 시스템에서는 발포 금속 물성이 배출 간격에 영향을 미치며 cell 크기가 큰 발포 금속에서 안정적인 성능을 나타내었다.

나노 다공성 구조를 가지는 전극은 매우 큰 전기화학적 표면적을 지니기 때문에 그 형성 방법에 대한 연구가 다양하게 이루어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 정전위 양극 산화를 이용하여 초미세전극(ultramicroelectrode, UME) 표면에 나노 다공성 금(nanoporous gold, NPG) 구조를 도입하는 방법을 연구하였다. 1M KCl을 포함하는 0.1M 인산완충용액(pH 8)에서 1.3 V의 정전위를 가해 주면 잘 정의된 NPG 구조가 UME 표면에 도입되었다. NPG-UME 형성에서 인가 전위와 반응 시간, 그리고 전극의 크기가 형성된 NPG 전극의 거칠기 인자(roughness factor, R_f)에 미치는 영향을 관찰하여 양극 산화 효율을 조사하였다. 10분 정도의 짧은 시간에 2000정도의 큰 R_f 값을 가지는 NPG-UME를 만들 수 있었는데, 전기화학적 글루코오스 검출에 효과적으로 활용 가능하였다. 본 연구 결과는 적은 시료양으로 전기화학적 분석을 수행하는 경우 응용성이 클 것으로 기대한다.

In this study, a cycling smart wear for measuring cycling posture and motion was developed using a three-dimensional motion analysis camera and an IMU inertial sensor. Results were compared according to parts to derive the optimal smart device attachment location, enabling correct posture measurement and cycle motion analysis to design a pattern. Conclusions were as follows: 1) 'S-T8' > 'S-T10' > 'S-L4' was the most significant area for each lumbar spine using a 3D motion analysis system with representative posture change (90°, 60°, 30°) to derive incisions and size specifications; 2) the part with the smallest relative angle change among significant section reference points during pattern design was applied as a reference point for attaching a cycling smart device to secure detachable safety of the device. Optimal locations for attaching the cycling device were the "S-L4" hip bone (Sacrum) and lumbar spine No. 4 (Lumbar 4^th); 3) the most suitable sensor attachment location for monitoring knee induction-abduction was the anatomical location of the rectus femoris; 4) a cycling smart wear pattern was developed without incision in the part where the sensor and electrode passed. The wearing was confirmed with 3D CLO. This study aims to provide basic research on exercise analysis smart wear, to expand the smart cycling area that could only be realized with smart devices and smart watches attached to current cycles, and to provide an opportunity to commercialize it as cycling smart wear.

Recently, owing to the high demand for eco-friendly cars in the automotive industry, noise and vibrations have become major challenges. The use of laminated damping steel is increasing in response to these demands. Laminated damping steel is primarily used in sound insulation plates. The vibration energy is converted into thermal energy due to the viscoelastic resin being located between two steel sheets and being able to damp the vibrations when an external force, such as, noise or vibration is applied to the steel plate. Laminated damping steel is chiefly applied to dash panels in automotive body parts, and because of its structure, junction technology for bonding with other components is necessary. However, there has not been sufficient research conducted on junctions. In this study, regardless of the electrode shape, in the range of 4.0 ~ 8.0 kA welding current, the same welding force and welding time were applied which were 2.8 kN and 200 m/s (12 cycles) and the tensile shear load and nugget size were analyzed after the resistance spot welding between different materials of laminated damping steel with a thickness of 1.035 mm. The results show that in the range of 5 ~ 8 kA welding current, 1.035 mm laminated damping steel meets the MS181-15 standard, which is the technical standard of Hyundai-Kia Motors.

With the increasing demand for mobile devices featuring multi-touch operation, extensive research is being conducted on touch screen panel (TSP) Readout ICs (ROICs) that should possess low power consumption, compact chip size, and immunity to external noise. Therefore, this paper discusses capacitive touch sensors and their readout circuits, and it introduces research trends in various circuit designs that are robust against external noise sources. The recent state-of-the-art TSP ROICs have primarily focused on minimizing the impact of parasitic capacitance (Cp) caused by thin panel thickness. The large Cp can be effectively compensated using an area-efficient current compensator and Current Conveyor (CC), while a display noise reduction scheme utilizing a noise-antenna (NA) electrode significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Based on these achievements, it is expected that future TSP ROICs will be capable of stable operation with thinner and flexible Touch Screen Panels (TSPs).

Tin-antimony sulfide nanocomposites were prepared via hydrothermal synthesis and a N₂ reduction process for use as a negative electrode in a sodium ion battery. The electrochemical energy storage performance of the battery was analyzed according to the tin-antimony composition. The optimized sulfides exhibited superior charge/discharge capacity (770 mAh g^-1 at a current density of 100 mA g^-1) and stable lifespan characteristics (71.2 % after 200 cycles at a current density of 500 mA g^-1). It exhibited a reversible characteristic, continuously participating in the charge-discharge process. The improved electrochemical energy storage performance and cycle stability was attributed to the small particle size, by controlling the composition of the tin-antimony sulfide. By optimizing the tin-antimony ratio during the synthesis process, it did not deviate from the solubility limit. Graphene oxide also acts to suppress volume expansion during reversible electrochemical reaction. Based on these results, tin-antimony sulfide is considered a promising anode material for a sodium ion battery used as a medium-to-large energy storage source.
