Schottky diodes have been fabricated using the SDB wafer, and their characteristics have been investigated. For comparison, conventional planar and etched most structure were made on the same substrate. The ideality factor and barrier height of the fabricated devices are found to be 1.03 and 0.77eV, respectively. Breakdown volttge of the etched mesa Schottky diode has been increased to 180V. whereas it is 90V for the planar diode. Schottky diode with an etched mesa exhibits twice improvement in breaktown voltage.

For the analysis of hot gas flow due to arc in puffer type $SF_6$ gas circuit breakers(GCBs), a program has been developed by adding function for arcing to the Fluid-in Cells(FLIC) method, which is often used for a two dimensional compressible flow problems, utilizing a simplified enthalpy flow arc model available for arcing. In this paper, the results of arc modelling for 800kV GCB are presented and compared with that of cold gas flow in the interrupters. It is shown that the nozzle clogging is the dominating factor in the pressure rise of the puffer chamber. It permits to estimate the dielectric strength of interrupters.

The heterogeneous association behaviour of various concentration binary mixtures of mono alkyl ethers of ethylene glycol with ethyl alcohol were investigated by dielectric measurement in benzene solutions over the entire concentration range at 25 ${^{\circ}C}$. The values of static dielectric constant $\epsilon_0$ of the mixtures were measured at 1 MHz using a four terminal dielectric liquid test fixture and precision LCR meter. The high frequency limiting dielectric constant $\epsilon_\infty$ values were determined by measurement of refractive index $n_D$ ($\epsilon_\infty\;=\;n_D\;^2$). The measured values of $\epsilon_0$ and $\epsilon_\infty$ were used to evaluate the values of excess dielectric constant $\epsilon^E$, effective Kirkwood correlation factor $g^{eff}$ and corrective correlation factor $g_f$ of the binary polar mixtures to obtain qualitative and quantitative information about the H-bond complex formation. The non-linear behaviour of the observed $\epsilon_0$ values of the polar molecules and their mixtures in benzene solvent confirms the variation in the associated structures with change in polar mixture constituents concentration and also by dilution in non-polar solvents. Appearance of the maximum in $\epsilon^E$ values at different concentration of the polar mixtures suggest the formation of stable adduct complex, which depends on the molecular size of the mono alkyl ethers of ethylene glycol. Further, the observed $\epsilon^E$ < 0 also confirms the heterogeneous H-bond complex formation reduces the effective number of dipoles in these polar binary mixtures. In benzene solutions these polar molecules shows the maximum reduce in effective number of dipoles at 50 percent dilutions. But ethyl alcohol rich binary polar mixtures in benzene solvent show the maximum reduce in effective number of dipoles in benzene rich solutions.

Effects of annealing process in a reduction ambient on thermoelectric properties of the $(Bi,Sb)_{2}Te_3$ thin films prepared by thermal evaporation have been investigated. With annealing at $300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs in a reduction ambient(50% $H_2$+50% Ar), the crystallinity of the $(Bi,Sb)_{2}Te_3$ thin films were substantially improved with remarkable increase in the grain size. Seebeck coefficients of the $(Bi,Sb)_{2}Te_3$ thin films increased from$\sim90{\mu}V/K$ to $\sim180{\mu}V/K$ with annealing in the reduction ambient due to decrease in the hole concentration. Power factors of the $(Bi,Sb)_{2}Te_3$ thin films were remarkably improved for $5\sim16$ times with annealing in the reduction atmosphere. After annealing in the reduction ambient, a $(Bi,Sb)_{2}Te_3$ evaporated film exhibited a maximum power factor of $18.6\times10^{-4}W/K^{2}-m$.

We fabricated the Cu Schottky contact on an n-type Ge wafer and investigated the forward bias current-voltage (I-V) characteristics in the temperature range of 100~300 K. The zero bias barrier height and ideality factor were determined based on the thermionic emission (TE) model. The barrier height increased and the ideality factor decreased with increasing temperature. Such temperature dependence of the barrier height and the ideality factor was associated with spatially inhomogeneous Schottky barriers. A notable deviation from the theoretical Richardson constant (140.0 Acm^-2K^-2 for n-Ge) on the conventional Richardson plot was alleviated by using the modified Richardson plot, which yielded the Richardson constant of 392.5 Acm^-2K^-2. Finally, we applied the theory of space-charge-limitedcurrent (SCLC) transport to the high forward bias region to find the density of localized defect states (N_t), which was determined to be 1.46 × 10¹² eV^-1cm^-3.

The International Electrotechnical Commission(IEC) 61000-4-15 is a standard proposing techniques for a flicker meter test and measurement method. The IEC61000-4-15 ed1 announced in 1997 was not include tests for accurate verification. Also it was not explained flicker meter algorithm that can be directly applied to the other power systems. But the new edition of IEC61000-4-15 ed2 prescribes a variety of tests for verify flicker meter algorithm and it explains 'correction factor' used for measuring flicker in other power systems. It can measure flicker severity in 220V system by multiplying correction factor to the measured values with the 230V algorithm. This paper compared the method of measuring flicker severity in korea power system using the correction factor and the modified weighting filter, after verifying of digital flicker meter algorithm created by using matlab based on IEC61000-4-15 ed2.

In this article, Exposure Buildup Factor(EBF) and the Energy Absorption Buildup Factor(EABF) have been determined for blood, brain, and muscle using the Monte Carlo method which is represented by MCNP5 codes and compared with geometric progression(G-P) fitting method which is represented by Phy-X/PSD online platform. The novelty of the present work is used an energy source of less than 0.1 MeV to determine buildup factors using MCNP5 and using Phy-X/PSD for some human tissues. thus, the energy range used in this case study was 0.06-3 MeV for penetration depths covered 0.5-3 MFP. Results of MCNP5 and Phy-X/PSD are validated against reference values of water that were reported at ANS-6.4.3. present results of EABFs and EBFs for the previously mentioned human tissues appeared good agreement between MCNP5 in comparison with Phy-X/PSD, whereas, the maximum average relative deviation did not exceed 2.37%. results of our article can be used in different medical applications, such as brachytherapy, radiotherapy, and diagnostics.
