Oil-based nanofluids are prepared by dispersing spherical and fiber-shaped $Al_2O_3$ and AlN nanoparticles in transformer oil. Two hydrophobic surface modification processes are compared in this investigation. It is obvious that the combination of nanoparticle, surfactant and surface modification process is very important for the dispersity of nanofluids. For ($Al_2O_3$+AIN) particles with 1% volume fraction, the enhancement of thermal conductivity and convective heat transfer coefficient is nearly 11% and 30%, respectively, compared to pure transformer oil. The cooling effect of ($Al_2O_3$+AlN)-oil nanofluids on the heating element and oil itself is confirmed by a natural convection test using a prototype transformer.

Poly(dimethyl siloxane)(PDMS, 실리콘 고무)의 열전도도 향상을 위하여 보론 나이트라이드과 탄소나노튜브를 열전도성 충전제로 사용하였다. 보론 나이트라이드의 함량은 0에서 100 phr로 증가시켰으며, 탄소나노튜브의 함량은 보론 나이트라이드의 함량을 100 phr로 고정시킨 상태에서 0에서 4 phr로 증가시켰다. 실리콘 고무 복합재료의 열전도도는 보론 나이트라이드 함량의 증가에 따라 증가하였으나, 탄소나노튜브를 추가로 첨가하더라도 열전도도 향상에 대한 효과는 미미하였다. 100 phr 함량의 보론 나이트라이드 함량에 탄소나노튜브를 충전 시 복합재료의 열분해가 가속화되는 예상치 못한 결과를 얻었다. 이를 해석하기 위하여 Horowitz-Metzger 방법을 이용하여 열분해 활성화 에너지를 계산하였다. 또한 보론 나이트라이드/탄소나노튜브가 충전된 실리콘 고무 복합재료의 경화거동, 전기저항 및 기계적 물성을 연구하였다.

복합재의 물성치 해석에 일반적으로 사용되는 일반화된 자기일치모델(Generalized Self-Consistent Model)과 수정된 에쉘비모델(Modified Eshelby Model)을 이용하여 나노유체의 열전도계수를 예측할 수 있음을 보였다. 이 유체의 열전달효과를 대폭 향상시키는 대표적인 메카니즘 중 하나인 나노입자와 기본유체 사이에 존재하는 나노층의 영향을 고려하여 나노유체의 열전도계수를 예측하였다. 본 연구는 나노층의 열전도계수가 일정한 값을 가질 때 기존 대표적인 모델과 동일한 결과를 보였으며, 선형적으로 변할 때 역시 문헌에 있는 모델과 동등한 수준의 예측 값을 보였다. 알루미나와 산화구리를 나노입자로 물과 에틸렌글리콜을 기본유체로 한 나노유체의 열전도계수에 대한 실험결과와 본 모델의 예측결과를 비교함으로써 본 모델의 타당성을 입증하였다.

Electrical sintering of the front electrode for crystalline silicon solar cells was performed applying a constant DC current to the printed lines. Conducting lines were printed on glass substrate by a drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet printer and silver nanoparticle ink. Specific resistance and microstructure of sintered silver lines and were measured with varying DC current. To find the relation between temperature increase with changing applied current and specific resistance, temperature elevation was also calculated. Sintering process finished within a few milliseconds. Increasing applied DC current, specific resistance decreased and grain size increased after sintering. Achieved minimum specific resistance is approximately 1.7 times higher than specific resistance of the bulk silver.

Diamond is well known as the hardest material in nature. It also has other unique bulk physical and mechanical properties, such as very high thermal conductivity and broad optical transparency, which enable a number of new applications now that large areas of diamond can be fabricated by the new diamond plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technologies. A study on the effects of growth kinetics and properties of diamond films obtained by addition of argon (~7 vol. %) into the methane/hydrogen mixture is carried out using HFCVD system. A negative bias was used as a nucleation enhancement method in addition to the argon dilution. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of surface morphology shows well faceted crystallites with a predominance of angular shapes corresponding to <100> and <110> crystalline surfaces. The nucleation density and growth rate with argon dilution is two orders of magnitude higher than without argon deposition. The Raman spectra show a good quality film whereas XPS spectra show existence of only diamond phase.

Adsorption of alkali metals (Li, Na, and K) on the surface of magnesium oxide nanotubes (MgONTs) with different diameters was investigated using density functional theory. According to the obtained results, the most stable adsorption site was found to be atop the oxygen atom of the tube surface with adsorption energies in the range of -0.25 to -0.74 eV. HOMO-LUMO gap ($E_g$) of the tubes dramatically decreases upon the adsorption of the alkali metals, resulting in enhancement of their electrical conductivity enhancement. The order of $E_g$ decrement caused by the metal adsorption is as follows: K > Na > Li. The results suggest that the MgONTs were transformed from semi-insulator to semiconductor upon the alkali metal adsorption. Increasing the tube diameter, the HOMO/LUMO gap of the pristine tube is enhanced and adsorption energies of the alkali metals are decreased.

The phosphor $CaTiO_3:Pr^{3+}$ attracts much attention as a low-voltage red phosphor because of its good chromaticity and intrinsic conductivity. The addition of Ga into this CaTiO₃:Pr led the luminance intensity to greatly enhance without the change of the wavelength for the electronic transition and the peak shape of it. The increase of the recombination rate of electron-hole pairs through the Ga ion doping, which was expected to play a role of a hole-trap center, is proposed to be one of the reasons for the enhancement of the cathodoluminescence intensity.

PEO계 고분자 전해질에 대한 최근까지의 많은 연구는 나노-세라믹 입자의 충전에 의한 전도도 증대가 주과제였다. 그러나 노화시간에 따른 이온 전도도의 지속적인 감소 현상은 이 시료의 응용 가능성에 치명적 단점임에도 불구하고 많은 경우에 무시되거나 간과되어 왔다. 노화 시간에 따른 전도도 감소 현상은 충전된 세라믹 입자에 의해 유발되는 것처럼 보고되어 왔다. 반면에 순수한 $PEO_8LiCIO_4$전해질의 전도도는 저자에 따라 고온에서는 거의 일치된 값이 보고되었지만 상온에서의 전도도 값은 10000배까지의 차이를 보이고 있다. 이는 상온에서의 전도도 값이 시료 제작이나 열적 역사에 크게 의존한다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 $PEO_8LiCIO_4$와 나노-세라믹 입자가 충전된 $PEO_8LiClO_4/Al_2O_3$ 고분자 전해질의 전도도의 크기가 열적 전처리 및 노화 시간에 크게 의존함을 보였다. 또한 전도도 감소 현상은 순수한 시료나 충전된 시료에 거의 비슷한 정도로 나타나는 것을 측정하였으며, 이와 같은 노화 현상은 PEO-Li염 전해질이 상온에서 결정질과 비정질이 공존하는 비평형 상이기 때문에 일어나는 본래 내재되어 있는 성질이라는 것을 밝혔다.

The effect of nanofluids on the heat transfer performance of a pulsating heat pipe has been experimentally investigated. Water-based diamond nanofluid and aluminium oxide ($Al_2O_3$) nanofluid were tested in the concentration range of 0.5-5%. The pulsating heat pipe was constructed using clear Pyrex tubes of 1.85 mm in inner diameter in order to visualize the pulsating action. The total number of turns was eight each for heated and cooled parts. The supply temperatures of heating water and cooling water were fixed at $80^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ respectively. The liquid charging ratio of the nanofluid was 50-70%. The test results showed that the case of 5% concentration of diamond nanofluid showed 18% increase in heat transfer rate compared to pure water. The case of 0.5% concentration of $Al_2O_3$ nanofluid showed 24% increase in heat transfer rate compared to pure water. But the increase of $Al_2O_3$ nanofluid concentration up to 3% did not show further enhancement in heat transfer. It is also observed that the deposited nanoparticles on the tube wall played a major role in enhanced evaporation of working fluid and this could be the reason for the enhancement of heat transfer by a nanofluid, not the enhanced thermal conductivity of the nanofluid.

Gallium nitride (GaN) is a promising material for next-generation high-power applications due to its wide bandgap, high breakdown field, high electron mobility, and good thermal conductivity. From a structure point of view, the vertical device is more suitable to high-power applications than planar devices because of its area effectiveness. However, it is challenging to obtain a completely upright vertical structure due to inevitable sidewall slope in anisotropic etching of GaN. In this letter, we design and analyze the enhancement-mode n-channel vertical GaN MOSFET with variation of sidewall gate angle by two-dimensional (2D) technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations. As the sidewall slope gets closer to right angle, the device performances are improved since a gradual slope provides a leakage current path through the bulk region.
