This paper proposes a zero-current-transition(ZCT) synchronous buck converter using auxiliary circuit with soft-switching for light weight and high efficiency. In this scheme, an auxiliary circuit is added to the conventional synchronous rectifier buck converter and used to achieve soft-switching condition for both the main switch and synchronous switch. In addition, the switch in the auxiliary circuit operates under soft-switching conditions. Thus, the proposed converter provides a higher efficiency. The basic operations, in this paper, are discussed and design guidelines are presented. The usefulness of the proposed converter is verified on a 200KHz, 20 W prototype converter.

Quantum-confined nanostructures open up additional perspectives in engineering materials with different electronic and optical properties. We have fabricated unique cation-exchanged CdS and CdS/CdSe quantum dots and measured their first four exciton transitions. We demonstrate that the relationship between electronic transitions and charge-carrier distributions is generalized for a broad range of core-shell nanostructures. These nanostructures can be used to further improve the performance in the fields of bio-imaging, light-emitting devices, photovoltaics, and quantum computing.

We have employed a technique of corona excited supersonic expansion to generate electronically excited but jet-cooled o-tolunitrile. The vibronically well-resolved emission spectrum of the jet-cooled o-tolunitrile in the $S_{1}\rightarrow S_{0}$ transition was recorded in the uv region using a Fourier transform spectrometer equipped with a Quartz-uv beam splitter. The electronic transition and vibrational mode frequencies in the ground electronic state were accurately determined from the analysis of the spectra observed.

The technique of corona-excited supersonic expansion was applied to produce electronically excited but rovibrationally cooled m-tolunitrile. The well-resolved vibronic emission spectrum of the jet-cooled m-tolunitrile in the $S_1\;\rightarrow \;S_0$ transition was recorded in the uv region using a Fourier transform spectrometer equipped with a Quartz-uv beam splitter. From an analysis of the spectrum observed, it was confirmed that the electronic transition and vibrational mode frequencies in the ground electronic state were accurately determined.

In this study, it was studied on dielectric breakdown strength and thennostability properties due to the structure variation of matrix resin and treatment of coupling agent of epoxy insulating materials. The interpenetrating network structure was formed by simultaneous heating curing the epoxy resin with single network structure and the methacrylic acid resin. Also inner structure was observed and the glass transition temperature was measured on these three type specimens. Dielectric breakdown properties were investigated by applying DC, AC and impulse voltage. As a result, the glass transition temperature and the dielectric breakdown strength of specimen with interpenetrating network structure was more higher than another two type specimens.

Based on first-principles calculations, we study the magnetic properties of Co, Ni, Fe, V, and Mn impurities in ZnO. The stabilities of the ferromagnetic state and the magnetic moment of each impurity largely depend on the amount of doped electron or hole. For lightly doped n-type ZnO, it is found that the doping of Ni ions is the most effective for inducing ferromagnetism, while Fe ions show the most stable ferromagnetic couplings for heavily doped n-type samples. The characteristics of the magnetic interactions of Co ions are similar with those of Fe ions, but Co ions require much larger amount of doped electron than Fe ions to show the ferromagnetic couplings. The ferromagnetic coupling between Mn and V ions is unstable in n-type conditions.

This paper proposes the interleaved buck converter using a soft switching auxiliary circuit. In this scheme, an auxiliary circuit is added to the conventional interleaved buck converter and used to achieve soft-switching conditions for both the main switch and freewheeling diode. In addition, the switch in the auxiliary circuit operates under soft-switching conditions. Also, according to the input to output conditions, the main switch achieved zero-current-transition(ZCT) or zero-current & zero-voltage-transition(ZCZVT) at turn on. Thus, the proposed interleaved buck converter provides a higher efficiency. The basic operations, in this paper, are discussed and design guidelines are presented. The usefulness of the proposed converter is verified on a 200kHz, 180W prototype converter.

Perdeuterated hexaflouroacetylacetonato-ytterbium [Yb(SOL)-D)$_3$] complexes were synthesized by the keto-enol tautomerism reaction of Yb(SOL-H)$_3$ in methanol-d$_4$in methanol-d$_4$in order to reduce the radiationless transition to the ligands. The luminescence properties of Yb(SOL-D)$_3$complex were measured in the following anhydrous deuterated organic solvents ; Methanol-d$_4$, THF-d$\sub$8/, PO(OCH$_3$)$_3$ and DMSO-d$\sub$6/. The intensity, lifetime and quantum efficiency of the luminescence in DMSO-d$\sub$6/ were superior to those in other deuterated solvents. It was suggested that the anhydrous DMSO-d$\sub$6/ might be the most appropriate solvent for the liquid laser material of Yb(SOL-D)$_3$ complex.
