본 논문에서는 높은 소멸비뿐만 아니라 낮은 파워 소모를 가지는 방향성 결합기 구조의 열광학 스위치를 설계하였다. 설계된 스위치는 전극의 열발생 유무에 따라 폴리머의 굴절률이 변하는 열광학 효과를 이용하여 동작한다. 전극에 파워가 인가되지 않으면(OFF), 입사된 빛은 반대쪽 도파로로 대부분 전이된다. 전극에 일정수준 이상으로 파워가 인가되면(ON), 입력 도파로로 입사된 빛은 반대쪽 도파로의 굴절률이 낮아져 입력 도파로로 진행한다. 방향성 결합기 스위치는 소멸비 일반화 곡선과 입력 도파로의 수평이동 방법을 이용하여 설계되었다. 결합길이는 1,610 ${\mu}m$, on과 off 상태의 소멸비는 각각 -28, -30 dB로 설계되었다. 또한, 본 논문에서 전극 구조는 열분석을 통해 최적화되었다. 전극의 폭(w)이 증가하고 전극과 도파로의 중심간격(d)이 감소할수록 도파로로 전달되는 열은 증가하였다. 전극에서 발생된 열은 반대쪽 도파로에도 영향을 주기 때문에 두 도파로간의 온도차이는 주어진 w와 d에 따라 변한다. 이때, 최대의 온도차이를 보이는 특정한 조건이 존재하였다. 최대 온도차이는 전극의 폭이 넓을수록, 전극의 온도가 높을수록 증가한다. 특히, 스위칭에 필요한 온도차이를 최대 온도차이 조건으로 설계하면 전극의 온도를 낮출 수 있다. 최대 온도차이 조건은 열광학 스위치의 파워소모를 감소시키는 방안이 될 것으로 기대된다.

This paper reports about the successful suspension of a glass plate by electrostatic forces. In order to implement a stable suspension, the electrostatic forces exerted on the glass plate are actively controlled on the basis of the gap lengths between the glass plate and the stator electrodes. In this paper, the dynamic model of the suspension system and the influence of the resistivity of glass on the system stability are described, followed by stator electrode design, the experimental apparatus and a stabilizing controller. Experimental results show that the glass plate can be suspended at a gap length of about 0.3 mm. The influence of air humidity on the suspension initiation time, and the lateral dynamic characteristic are also described.

Objective : Somatosensory evoked potentials(SSEPs) have been used widely both experimentally and clinically to monitor the function of central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Studies of SSEPs have reported the various recording techniques and patterns of SSEP. The previous SSEP studies used scalp recording electrodes, showed mean vector potentials which included relatively constant brainstem potentials(far-field potentials) and unstable thalamocortical pathway potentials(near-field potentials). Even in invasive SSEP recording methods, thalamocortical potentials were variable according to the kinds, depths, and distance of two electrodes. So they were regarded improper method for monitoring of upper level of brainstem. The present study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of somatosensory evoked field potentials(SSEFPs) of the cerebral cortex that evoked by hindlimb stimulation using ball electrode and the pathways of SSEFP by recording the potentials simultaneously in the cortex, VPL nucleus of thalamus, and nucleus gracilis. Methods : In the first experiment, a specially designed recording electrode was inserted into the cerebral cortex perpendicular to the cortical surface in order to recording the constant cortical field potentials and SSEFPs mapped from different areas of somatosensory cortex were analyzed. In the second experiment, SSEPs were recorded in the ipsilateral nucleus gracilis, the contralateral ventroposterolateral thalamic nucleus(VPL), and the cerebral cortex along the conduction pathway of somatosensory information. Results : In the first experiment, we could constantly obtain the SSEFPs in cerebral cortex following the transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the hind limb, and it revealed that the first large positive and following negative waves were largest at the 2mm posterior and 2mm lateral to the bregma in the contralateral somatosensory cortex. The second experiment showed that the SSEPs were conducted by way of posterior column somatosensory pathway and thalamocortical pathway and that specific patterns of the SSEPs were recorded from the nucleus gracilis, VPL, and cerebral cortex. Conclusion : The specially designed recording electrode was found to be very useful in recording the localized SSEFPs and the transcutaneous electrical stimulation using ball electrode was effective in evoking SSEPs. The characteristic shapes, latencies, and conduction velocities of each potentials are expected to be used the fundamental data for the future study of brain functions, including the hydrocephalus model, middle cerebral artery ischemia model, and so forth.

Degeneration of the axon terminals of mamillo-thalamic tract following the electrical coagulation of mamillary body is well known. In this study, the author investigated the ultrastructural alterations of neuropil components, initiated by terminal degenerations. Rats weighing approximately 250 gm were fixed on the stereotaxic instrument(David Kopf Inc., Heavy duty model), and NE 300 active electrode(Rhodes Med. Instr. Inc.) was introduced to the mamillary position of anterior 3.8 mm, lateral 0.5 mm, height 3.8 mm and lateral angle of $23^{\circ}$ according to De Groot's Atlas. Electric current of 20 mA was applied during 1 minute between active and inactive electrodes with Radio Frequency Lesion Generator(RFG 4, Radionics Inc.). Two hours, 2 days, 1 week and 2 weeks following the electrical coagulation of mamillary body, ipsilateral anterior thalamic nucleus was fixed in 1% glutaraldehyde-l% paraformaldehyde and 2% osmium tetroxide, embedded in Araldite mixture, cutted with LKB ultra tome V, stained with uranyl acetate-lead citrate and observed with JEOL 100 CX electron microscope. Observed results were as follows; 1. Degenerated mamillo-thalamic synapses were observed to form asymmetric axospinous or axo-dendritic types. 2. Terminal degeneration was not easily discernible at 2 hours interval after mamillary lesion, but following 2 days the terminal degeneration was apparent. 3. Postsynaptic spines, dendrites and even their cell bodies show edematic changes caused by the degeneration of postsynaptic counterpart. 4. Astrocytic territories, including perivascular processes forming glial limitans of blood-brain barrier, exhibit remarkable expansion. 5. Oligoglia and astroglia are actively engaged in the removal of degenerated elements. 6. Active forms of microglia were increased. 7. The observed results may represent typical ultrastructural alteration pattern within neuropil following the degeneration of certain input axon terminals.

Lateral 구조를 갖는 탄소나노튜브 에미터 캐소드의 금속전극 선폭과 간격은 탄소나노튜브 에미터 밀도와 게이트에 인가되는 전계의 크기에 밀접한 관계가 있어 전계방출특성에 큰 영향을 나타내므로 조속한 상업화를 위해서는 최적화 연구가 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 금속전극의 선폭과 간격을 110/30, 80/30, 40/30과 120/20, 90/20, 20/20 ${\mu}m$로 각각 변화시켜 4.6인치 탄소나노튜브 에미터 기반 flat light lamp 개발연구를 진행하였다. 이때 사용한 금속전극은 2 mm 두께를 갖는 4.6인치 소다라임 글라스 위에 패턴 된 PR에 Ag를 sputtering하여 증착 후 PR을 lift-off하여 형성하였다. 이와 같이 형성된 금속전극은 ~1 ${\mu}m$와 12 nm의 두께와 표면단차를 각각 가지고 있었다. 형성된 금속전극 위에 유전체와 탄소나노튜브 에미터를 각각의 페이스트를 사용하여 스크린 인쇄와 소성과정을 통해 형성하였다. 이때 레이저 빔을 전극사이의 빈 공간에 조사하여 탄소나노튜브 에미터를 금속전극 위에 정밀하게 정렬하였으며 잔존하는 유기물과 유기용매를 없애기 위해 대기압 공기분위기의 $410^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 소성과정을 거친 후 접착테이프를 사용하여 잔탄 속에 있는 탄소나노튜브 에미터를 물리적 힘으로 수직하게 노출시켜 캐소드를 준비하였다. 애노드는 전계에 의해 방출된 전자의 측정과 전계방출 이미지를 얻기 위해서 P22 형광체와 Al박막이 증착된 2 mm 두께의 소다라임 글라스를 사용하였다. 캐소드와 애노드 사이의 간격은 6~10 mm로 유지하였고, 진공챔버의 기본 압력을 $5{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr 이하로 유지하였다. 캐소드와 게이트 전극에 1, 4 kHz와 3% duty를 갖는 bipolar 형태의 DC 사각펄스파를, 애노드에 ~18 kV의 DC 고전압을 각각 인가하여 평가하였으며 추후, 이렇게 제작된 다양한 선폭과 간격을 갖는 탄소나노튜브 에미터 기반 flat light lamp의 전계방출특성과 효율에 대한 비교 연구를 진행할 계획이다.

In recent observations on vestibular eye movements in mammals, reported by several different workers, it was indicated that the pattern of reflex eye movement from semicircular canal nerve stimulation in rabbits was different from that observed in the other species such as cats and dogs. Observing the different anatomical features of the extraocular muscles of rabbits, Kim ascribed the different pattern of eye movement of rabbits to the functional difference of inferior and superior oblique muscles from those of other species. Present experiment was carried out to elucidate a physiological mechanism underlying in such particular pattern of reflex eye movement in rabbits. An individual canal nerve was selectively stimulated, under a dissecting microscope, by a fine electrode induced into an ampulla through a hole provided on the wall of corresponding osseous canal, and responses of the extraocular muscles were checked by recording the isotonic changes of muscle length. Following results were obtained. 1. Direct stimulation of the superior or inferior oblique muscles Produced upward or downward movement of the eye turning toward medial side respectively. 2. Stimulation of the unilateral canal nerve Produced a marked contraction of a main contracting ocular muscle and simultaneous relaxation of an antagonistic muscle in both eyes. Less potent contraction of an additional ocular muscle was observed and it appeared to augment the function of the main contracting muscle in the ipsilateral eye. 3. Stimulation of superior semicircular canal nerve caused a primary contraction of superior rectus, synergic contraction of superior oblique and relaxation of inferior rectus in ipsilateral eye. Contraction of inferior oblique and relaxation of superior oblique were observed in the contralateral eye. 4. Stimulation of lateral semicircular canal nerve produced a primary contraction of medial rectus, synergic contraction of superior oblique and relaxation of lateral rectus in the ipsilateral eye. Contraction of lateral rectus and relaxation of medial rectus were observed in the contralateral eye. 5. Stimulation of inferior semicircular canal nerve produced a primary contraction of superior oblique, synergic contraction of superior rectus and relaxation of inferior oblique in the ipsilateral eye. Contraction of. inferior rectus and relaxation of superior rectus were observed in the contralateral eye. 6. Upon stimulation of individual canal nerve, the pattern of eye movement in rabbits is different from those of cats, however, the responses of the extraocular muscles appear to be similar in two species. Therefore, it is concluded that the different Pattern of eye movement in both species are not due to the possible difference of vestibule-ocular reflex pathways but to the functional difference of superior and inferior oblique muslces.

For interlayer tunneling spectroscopy using a small stack of $Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+x}$ (Bi-2212) intrinsic junctions in a high-bias range, large self-heating takes place due to the poor thermal conductivity of Bi-2212. In this study, we numerically estimate the self-heating around a Bi-2212 sample stack for I-V or dI/dV-V measurements. Our results show that the temperature discrepancy between the Bi-2212 sample stack and top Au electrodes due to bias-induced self-heating is small enough along the c-axis direction of Bi-2212. On the other hand, the lateral temperature discrepancy between the sample stack and the Bi-2212 on-chip thermometer stack can be as large as ${\sim}20\;K$ for the highest bias required to observe the pseudogap hump structure. We thus suggest a new in-situ ac thermometry, employing the Au current-bias electrode itself deposited on top of the sample stack as the resistive thermometer layer, which is supposed to allow safe temperature measurements for the interlayer tunneling spectroscopy.

This paper presents the design and simulation results of ohmic contact RF MEMS silicon switch with a high isolation at high frequencies along with the position of a contact part, initial off-state and intermediate off-state including the state where a contact part is placed right over a signal line of coplanar waveguide (CPW). The ohmic contact part is connected with comb drives made of high resistivity single crystalline silicon. The released contact part is $30{\mu}m$ apart from the edge of signal line on the glass substrate along the lateral direction (x-direction) at initial off-state. The electrostatic force of the comb electrode creates the x-directional movement thus initial state is converted to the intermediate off-state. The initial off-state of the switch results in isolations of -31 dB, -24 dB and reflections of -0.45 dB, -0.67 dB at 50 GHz and 110 GHz, respectively. It shows the isolation degradation when the contact part moves right over the signal line of CPW like an initial off-state of a conventional MEMS switch. The isolations and reflections are -31 dB, -24 dB and -0.50 dB, -1.31 dB at 50 GHz and 110 GHz, respectively at the intermediate off-state.

The phase-shift method and correlation constants, which are unique electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques for studying the linear relationship between the phase shift ($90^{\circ}{\geq}-{\varphi}{\geq}0^{\circ}$) vs. potential (E) behavior for the optimum intermediate frequency ($f_o$) and the fractional surface coverage ($0{\leq}{\theta}{\leq}1$) vs. E behavior, are proposed and verified to determine the Frumkin, Langmuir, and Temkin adsorption isotherms and the related electrode kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. At Ni/0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ and 0.1M LiOH aqueous solution interfaces, the Frumkin and Temkin adsorption isotherms (${\theta}$ vs. E) of H for the cathodic hydrogen ($H_2$) evolution, interaction parameters (g), equilibrium constants (K), standard Gibbs energies (${\Delta}G^0_{\theta}$) of H adsorption, and rates of change (r) of ${\Delta}G^0_{\theta}$ with ${\theta}$ have been determined using the phase-shift method and correlation constants. A lateral repulsive interaction (g>0) between the adsorbed H species appears. The value of K in the alkaline aqueous solution is much greater than that in the acidic aqueous solution.
