This paper analyzes recording density according to the shape variation of Electric Probe writer, and present a shape design method for improving recording density in perpendicular electric recording device. The gradient of electric field has to be steep to improve recording density because transition region on the media becomes wider when recording. The optimum shape of electrode could be archived by using Response Surface Methodology and 2-Dimensional Finite Element Method.

The effect of electric fields on the propagation speed of tribrachial flames has been investigated in a coflow jet by observing the transient flame propagation behavior after ignition. Without having electric fields, the propagation speed of tribrachial flame edges showed a typical behavior by having an inverse proportionality to the mixture fraction gradient at the flame edge. The behavior of flame propagation with the electric fields was investigated by applying high voltage to the central fuel nozzle and the enhancement of propagation speed has been observed by varying the applied voltage and frequency for AC electric fields. The propagation speed of tribrachial flame was also investigated by applying negative and positive DC voltages to the nozzle and similar improvements of the propagation speed were also observed. The propagation speeds of tribrachial flames in both the AC and DC electric fields were correlated well with the electric field intensity, defined by the electric voltage divided by the distance between the nozzle electrode and the edge of tribrachial flames.

The objective of a cathodic protection system (CP) is to protect the buried metallic structure against the corrosion caused by chemical reaction between the buried structure and the surrounding medium, such as soil. This paper presents a boundary element application to determine the optimal impressed current densities in a cathodic protection system. The potential within the electrolyte is described by the Laplace's equation with nonlinear boundary conditions which are enforced based on experimentally determined electrochemical polarization curves. The optimal impressed current densities are determined in order to minimize the power supply for protection. The solution is obtained by using the conjugate gradient method in which the governing equations and the protecting conditions are taken into account by the penalty function method. Numerical example are presented to demonstrate the practical applicability of the proposed method.

In AC electrowetting, it has been reported that there is a flow inside droplets. The flow characteristics such as flow rate, direction and the pattern of streamline are altered according to the frequency range of applied voltage. However, the mechanism of the flow has not been explained yet. This work is concentrated on investigation of the flow mechanism when high-frequency voltage is applied to droplets. We propose that this phenomenon arises from the electro-thermal flow. A numerical analysis is performed for the needle-electrode-plane geometry in which the Coulombic force term is included in the Navier-Stokes equation. According to our analysis, electrical charge is generated due to conductivity gradient which is originated from the nonuniform Joule heating of fluid medium. The result of the analysis is compared with experimental result.

In this talk, I will present two research works in progress, which are: i) mapping of piezoelectric polarization and associated charge density distribution in the heteroepitaxial InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well (MQW) structure of a light emitting diode (LED) by using inline electron holography and ii) in-situ observation of the polarization switching process of an ferroelectric Pb(Zr1-x,Tix)O3 (PZT) thin film capacitor under an applied electric field in transmission electron microscope (TEM). In the first part, I will show that strain as well as total charge density distributions can be mapped quantitatively across all the functional layers constituting a LED, including n-type GaN, InGaN/GaN MQWs, and p-type GaN with sub-nm spatial resolution (~0.8 nm) by using inline electron holography. The experimentally obtained strain maps were verified by comparison with finite element method simulations and confirmed that not only InGaN QWs (2.5 nm in thickness) but also GaN QBs (10 nm in thickness) in the MQW structure are strained complementary to accommodate the lattice misfit strain. Because of this complementary strain of GaN QBs, the strain gradient and also (piezoelectric) polarization gradient across the MQW changes more steeply than expected, resulting in more polarization charge density at the MQW interfaces than the typically expected value from the spontaneous polarization mismatch alone. By quantitative and comparative analysis of the total charge density map with the polarization charge map, we can clarify what extent of the polarization charges are compensated by the electrons supplied from the n-doped GaN QBs. Comparison with the simulated energy band diagrams with various screening parameters show that only 60% of the net polarization charges are compensated by the electrons from the GaN QBs, which results in the internal field of ~2.0 MV cm-1 across each pair of GaN/InGaN of the MQW structure. In the second part of my talk, I will present in-situ observations of the polarization switching process of a planar Ni/PZT/SrRuO3 capacitor using TEM. We observed the preferential, but asymmetric, nucleation and forward growth of switched c-domains at the PZT/electrode interfaces arising from the built-in electric field beneath each interface. The subsequent sideways growth was inhibited by the depolarization field due to the imperfect charge compensation at the counter electrode and preexisting a-domain walls, leading to asymmetric switching. It was found that the preexisting a-domains split into fine a- and c-domains constituting a $90^{\circ}$ stripe domain pattern during the $180^{\circ}$ polarization switching process, revealing that these domains also actively participated in the out-of-plane polarization switching. The real-time observations uncovered the origin of the switching asymmetry and further clarified the importance of charged domain walls and the interfaces with electrodes in the ferroelectric switching processes.

The present microbial reinforcement of rock and soil exhibits limitations, such as uneven reinforcement effectiveness and low calcium carbonate generation rate, resulting in limited solidification strength. This study introduces electroosmosis as a standard microbial grouting reinforcement technique and investigates its solidification effects on microbial-reinforced uranium tailings. The most effective electroosmosis effect on uranium tailings occurs under a potential gradient of 1.25 V/cm. The findings indicate that a weak electric field can effectively promote microbial growth and biological activity and accelerate bacterial metabolism. The largest calcium carbonate production occurred under the gradient of 0.5 V/cm, featuring a good crystal combination and the best cementation effect. Staged electroosmosis and electrode conversion efficiently drive the migration of anions and cations. Under electroosmosis, the cohesion of uranium tailings reinforced by microorganisms increased by 37.3% and 64.8% compared to those reinforced by common microorganisms and undisturbed uranium tailings, respectively. The internal friction angle is also improved, significantly enhancing the uniformity of reinforcement and a denser and stronger microscopic structure. This research demonstrates that MICP technology enhances the solidification effects and uniformity of uranium tailings, providing a novel approach to maintaining the safety and stability of uranium tailings dams.

영구 또는 유도 쌍극자를 가지는 물질은 불균일한 전기장 하에서 전기장의 구배 방향을 따라 힘을 받게 되는데, 이 힘에 의한 물질의 이동을 유전영동(dielectrophoresis, DEP)이라 한다. DEP 힘의 크기와 방향은 입자와 매질의 유전율과 전도도, 그리고 가해지는 교류 전기장의 주파수에 의해 영향을 받게 되므로, 이러한 변수를 제어함으로써 입자의 이동을 정확하게 조작할 수 있다. 또한, 전기영동과는 달리 쌍극자가 유도되는 모든 입자에 적용이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 이러한 DEP 기술은 미세 유체 공학은 물론 바이오 센서, 마이크로 칩 분야 등 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 본 논문은 먼저 DEP의 기본원리를 설명하고, DEP를 이용한 연구에서 주로 사용되는 대표적인 마이크로 전극의 구조에 대해 논의한다. 그리고, DEP의 대표적 응용분야인 입자의 분리 및 포집, 자기조립(self-assembly) 연구를 소개한다.

사각형의 MHD 추진 덕트 내부유동을 수치해석과 실험적인 방법으로 연구하였다. 수치해석연구에서는 전기장과 자기장의 영향하에 있는 비압축성 3차원 통전유체에 대하여 유한 차분법으로 계산하였다. 수치계산의 결과 전자기력이 약할때 층류유동의 전형적인 포물선 유동 형태가 전극 부근에서 M자 형상으로 변하였고, 균일분포의 일정 전자기력하에서 MHD 덕트 내부 압력은 입구에서부터 하류로 나아감에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였다. 실험에서는 MHD 추진 덕트 내부 유동을 해석할 수 있는 실험장치를 제작 하였으며, MHD 추진은 전류를 변화 시킴으로써 추력을 쉽게 조정할 수 있음을 알았다. 또한 MHD 덕트내 유동방향의 압력구배는 전자기력에 비례하여 증가하며 수치계산 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

Phenanthrene 오염토양 정화를 위한 동전기-펜턴 공정에서, 전해질의 종류와 전극반응에 따른 전기삼투유량의 변화와 오염물의 분해율을 관찰하였다. 전압경사는 초기에 감소하였다가 다시 증가하였는데, 이는 전류가 공급됨에 따라 이 온이 토양 내로 유입되어 전도도가 증가하였다가, 전기삼투 및 전기이동 현상에 의해 이온이 유출수를 통하여 빠져 나가 토양 내의 이온 농도가 다시 감소하여 전도도가 감소하였기 때문이다 총 전기삼투유량은 $NaCl>KH_2PO_4>MgSO_4$의 순서로 나타났는데, 이는 같은 몰농도(M)에서 $MgSO_4$의 이온세기가 다른 전해질보다 높았기 때문이다. 과산화수소를 첨가했을 경우는, 첨가하지 않은 경우보다 펜턴 반응에 의한 산화분해로 제거율이 향상되었다. NaCl의 경우, 양극 전극조에서 전극 반응에 의해 생성된 염소 가스($Cl_2$)가 산성조건에서 용해되어 형성된 하이포아염소산 (HClO)이 오염물의 산화분해를 증가시켜 다른 전해질보다 높은 제거율을 나타내었다. 따라서 동전기-펜턴 공정에서 제거율을 향상시키기 위해서는, 전해질이 토양 내에서 동전기적 이동 메커니즘에 미치는 영향과 더불어 양극 전극조에서의 전극 반응에 의한 생성물의 특성 또한 고려되어야 한다.
