  • Geosynchronous electron flux dropouts are most likely due to fast drift loss of the particles to the magnetopause (or equivalently, the "magnetopause shadowing effect"). A possible effect related to the drift loss is the radial diffusion of PSD due to gradient of PSD set by the drift loss effect at an outer L region. This possibly implies that the drift loss can affect the flux levels even inside the trapping boundary. We recently investigated the details of such diffusion process by solving the diffusion equation with a set of initial and boundary conditions set by the drift loss. Motivated by the simulation work, we have examined observationally the energy spectrum and pitch angle distribution near trapping boundary during the geosynchronous flux dropouts. For this work, we have first identified a list of geosynchronous flux dropout events for 2007-2010 from GOES satellite electron measurements and solar wind pressures observed by ACE satellite. We have then used the electron data from the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) spacecraft measurements to investigate the particle fluxes. The five THEMIS spacecraft sufficiently cover the inner magnetospheric regions near the equatorial plane and thus provide us with data of much higher spatial resolution. In this paper, we report some case studies showing energy dependence during magnetopause shadowing effect.

  • This paper presents one and two dimensional simulation results with discontinuous features (shocks) of capacitively coupled rf plasmas. The model consists of the first two and three moments of the Boltzmann equation for the ion and electron fluids respectively, coupled to Poisson's equation for the self-consistent electric field. The local field and drift-diffusion approximations are not employed, and as a result the charged species conservation equations are hyperbolic in nature. Hyperbolic equations may develop discontinuous solutions even if their initial conditions are smooth. Indeed, in this work, secondary electron emission is shown to produce transient electron shock waves. These shocks form at the boundary between the cathodic sheath (CS) and the quasi-neutral (QN) bulk region. In the CS, the electrons emitted from the electrode are accelerated to supersonic velocities due to the large electric field. On the other hand, in the QN the electric field is not significant and electrons have small directed velocities. Therefore, at the transition between these regions, the electron fluid decelerates from a supersonic to a subsonic velocity in the direction of flow and a jump in the electron velocity develops. The presented numerical results are consistent with both experimental observations and kinetic simulations.

  • Using a customized diffusion bonder, we executed diffusion bonding for ring shaped white gold and red gold samples (inner, outer diameter, and thickness were 15.7, 18.7, and 3.0 mm, respectively) at a temperature of $780^{\circ}C$ and applied pressure of 2300 N in a vacuum of $5{\times}10^{-2}$ torr for 180 seconds. Optical microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to investigate the microstructure and compositional changes. The mechanical properties were confirmed by Vickers hardness and shear strength tests. Optical microscopy and FE-SEM confirmed the uniform bonding interface, which was without defects such as micro pores. EDS mapping analysis confirmed that each gold alloy was 14K with the intended composition; Ni and Cu was included as coloring metals in the white and red gold alloys, respectively. The effective diffusion coefficient was estimated based on EDS line scanning. Individual values of Ni and Cu were $5.0{\times}10^{-8}cm^2/s$ and $8.9{\times}10^{-8}cm^2/s$, respectively. These values were as large as those of the melting points due to the accelerated diffusion in this customized diffusion bonder. Vickers hardness results showed that the hardness values of white gold and red gold were 127.83 and 103.04, respectively, due to solid solution strengthening. In addition, the value at the interface indicated no formation of intermetallic compound around the bonding interface. From the shear strength test, the sample was found not to be destroyed at up to 100,000 gf due to the high bonding strength. Therefore, these results confirm the successful diffusion bonding of 14K white-red golds with a diffusion bonder at a low temperature of $780^{\circ}C$ and a short processing time of 180 seconds.

  • Pure Xe, Kr and Ne atoms and Mixures of Xe-Ne used in fluorescent induction lamps(FILs). However standard regulation of FILs is not made up until now. Therefore, the electron transport coefficients, the electron drift velocity W, the longitudinal diffusion coefficient NDL and the ionization coefficient $\alpha$/N in pure Xe, Kr, Ne gases and Xe-Ne mixtures(1:9, 5:5, 7:3) were calculated over the wide E/N range from 0.01 to 500 Td at 1 Torr by two-term approximation of the Boltzman equation.

  • Quorum sensing (QS) is a bacterium-to-bacterium cell communication mechanism allowing bio-cell network construction but such mechanism is not well defined yet. We construct a QS-based multiple access network (MAN) and then numerically analyse its average uplink channel capacity as well as BER performance over diffusion-based 3-D molecular communication channels.

  • Electroactive monolayers based on zirconium(Ⅳ) phosphonate film were prepared on gold and tin oxide electrodes by sequential layer-by-layer depostion technique. High transfer coefficient values and surface coverages of surface bound redox molecules were obtained from the electrochemical measurements of heterogeneous electron transfer rates for monolayer modified electrodes. 1,10-Decanediylbis(phosphonic acid) (DBPA) monolayer as insulating barrier was effective in blocking electron transfer. However, these film modified oxide electrode shows voltammetric behavior of diffusion/permeation process taking place at very small exposed area of modified electrode through channels due to structural defects within film when a very fast redox couple such as Ru(NH3)63+ is hired.

  • Cu 확산방지막으로서의 Tin의 특성을 면저항 특정, X선 회절 분석, SEM, AES, capacitance-voltage(C-V) 측정에 의하여 평가하고, Cu의 확산을 민감하게 알아내는 정도를 특성 평가 방법간에 비교하였다. 여러 가지 증착방법에 의하여 Cu/TiN/Ti/SiO2/Si 구조의 다층 박막시편을 제작하였으며, 이 시편을 10% H2/90% Ar분위기, 열처리 온도 500~$800{\circ}C$ 범위에서 2시간 동안 열처리하였다. TiN의 Cu 확산방지 효과가 소멸된 경우 Cu 박막 표면에서 불규칙한 모양의 spot을 관찰할 수 있었으며 outdiffusion된 Si를 검출할 수 있었다. MOS capacitor의 C-V 특성은 열처리 온도에 따라 급격하게 변화하였다. C-V 측정에서 inversion capacitance는 열처리 온도 500~$700^{\circ}C$범위에서 열처리 온도가 높아질수록 감소하다가 $800^{\circ}C$에서 크게 증가하였으며, 이러한 특성의 변화는 TiN을 통해서 $SiO_2$와 Si내로 확산된 Cu에 의하여 발생되는 것으로 생각된다.

  • Alumina dispersion strengthening copper(ADSC) alloy has great potential for use in many industrial applications such as contact supports, frictional break parts, electrode materials for lead wires, and spot welding with relatively high strength and good conductivity. In this study, we investigated the oxidation behavior of ADSC alloys. These alloys were fabricated in forms of plate and round type samples by surface oxidation reaction using Cu-0.8Al, Cu-0.4Al-0.4Ti, and Cu-0.6Al-0.4Ti(wt%) alloys. The alloys were oxidized at $980^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h in ambient atmosphere. The microstructure was observed with an optical microscope(OM) and a scanning electron microscope(SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS). Characterization of alumina was carried out using a 200 kV field-emission transmission electron microscope(TEM). As a result, various oxides including Ti were formed in the oxidation layer, in addition to ${\gamma}$-alumina. The thickness of the oxidation layer increased with Ti addition to the Cu-Al alloy and with the oxidation time. The corrected diffusion equation for the plate and round type samples showed different oxidation layer thickness under the same conditions. Diffusion length of the round type specimen had a value higher than that of its plate counterpart because the oxygen concentration per unit area of the round type specimen was higher than that of the plate type specimen at the same diffusion depth.

  • 전기화학 기반의 SEI 성장 모델을 이용하여 리튬이온 배터리의 캘린더 노화 및 장기 수명을 예측하였다. 네 가지 유형의 장기 SEI 성장 모델(용매 확산 제한 모델, 전자 이동 제한 모델, 리튬-간극 확산 제한 모델, 반응 제한 모델)을 적용하여 수치해석이 이루어졌고, 캘린더 에이징 동안의 용량 감소와 리튬 재고 손실을 계산하였다. 수치해석 결과, 전자 이동 제한 모델과 리튬-간극 확산 제한 모델이 낮은 용량 감소를 보였으며, 용매 확산 제한 모델과 반응 제한 모델은 10년이내에 80%의 용량 감소를 보였다. 캘린더 노화 중 저온 보관 시 SEI의 성장을 저하시켜 용량 감소가 적었다. 사이클링 중 C-rate가 증가할수록 SEI 두께 증가로 수명 하락이 크게 나타났으나 그 차이는 크지 않았다.
