광전류센서는 전자기파 간섭에 영향을 받지 않으며 뛰어난 절연특성을 가지고 있어 발전소와 같은 고전압 대전류 환경에서 운용하기에 적합하다. 하지만, 온도변화와 진동과 같은 외부의 환경변화가 큰 상황에서 운용해야 하므로 센서의 높은 신뢰성이 요구된다. 그 때문에 안정성과 관련된 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 폴리머 광집적회로를 이용한 편광회전반사간섭계를 이용하여 신뢰성을 향상시킨 광전류센서를 제안한다. 여러 가지 독립적인 광소자들을 하나의 칩 상에 집적하여 안정성을 향상시키고 대량생산을 통한 저가격의 광전류센서 제작 가능성을 높였으며, 이를 이용하여 실제 현장에 적용하기 위한 특성평가를 수행하였다. 대전력 공급원을 이용하여 0.3 kA~36 kA 범위의 전류를 광센서에 인가하였을 때 선형적인 동작특성을 볼 수 있었고 센서의 오차는 $0{\pm}.5%$ 이내로 나타났다. 장시간 동작시에도 센서의 오차범위는 $0{\pm}.5%$ 이내로 유지되었다. 또한, 60 Hz~10 kHz 범위에 걸친 주파수 응답 특성 측정 결과 제안된 OCT의 3-dB 주파수 대역은 10kHz를 훨씬 넘는 것으로 확인되었다.

본 연구는 청각 oddball 방안, 사건관련전위와 sLORETA를 사용하여 조현형 인격 성향을 가지는 대학생의 P300 신호원을 조사하였다. 또한 P300 신호원의 전류밀도와 조현병 증상간의 관계를 조사하였다. Schizotypal personality questionnaire(SPQ)의 점수에 근거하여 조현형 인격성향군(n=37)과 정상통제군(n=42)을 선정하였다. P300은 자주 제시되는 표준 자극(1000Hz)과 드물게 제시되는 목표 자극(1500Hz)으로 구성되는 청각 oddball 과제를 사용하여 측정하였으며, 참여자들은 목표 자극이 몇 번 제시되었는지 횟수를 세어 실험 후 보고하는 것이 요구되었다. 행동분석 결과, Oddball 과제의 정확률에서는 두 집단 간 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 사건관련전위를 분석한 결과, 조현형 인격성향군이 정상통제군에 비해 유의하게 감소된 P300 진폭을 보였다. P300의 신호원을 추정하기 위하여 sLORETA를 사용하여 분석한 결과, 두 집단 모두에서 좌우반구 전두엽, 두정엽, 측두엽, 후두엽에 분포되어 관찰되었다. 두 집단의 P300 신호원의 전류밀도를 비교한 결과, 조현형 인격성향군이 정상통제군에 비해 좌반구 상측두회와 우반구 중측두회에서 감소된 활성화를 보인 반면 좌반구 하전두회와 우반구 상전두회에서는 활성화 증가를 보였다. 이에 덧붙여, 조현형 인격성향군에서 우반구 상전두회의 전류밀도와 SPQ의 와해 점수 사이에 부적 상관이 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 P300 신호 원인 전두 및 측두 영역의 이상을 조현병 환자뿐만 아니라 경미한 증상을 가지고 있는 조현형 인격성향군도 가지고 있음을 시사한다. 이에 덧붙여 본 연구 결과는 조현병 고위험군의 선별에 사용되는 SPQ의 경우 총점보다는 와해 점수가 고위험군의 선별에 더 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

The characterization of detectors installed in space- and ground-based instruments is important to evaluate the system performance. We report the development of a detector performance test system for astronomical applications using the Andor iKon M CCD camera. The performance test system consists of a light source, monochromator, integrating sphere, and power meters. We adopted the Czerny-Tuner monochromator with three ruled gratings and one mirror, which covers a spectral range of 200-9,000 nm with a spectral resolution of ~1 nm in the visible region. Various detector characteristics, such as the quantum efficiency, sensitivity, and noise, can be measured in wide wavelength ranges from the visible to mid-infrared regions. We evaluated the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) detector performance test system by using the performance verification of the Andor iKon-M CCD camera. The test procedure includes measurements of the conversion gain ($2.86e^-/ADU$), full well capacity ($130K\;e^-$), nonlinearity, and pixel defects. We also estimated the read noise, dark current, and quantum efficiency as a function of the temperature. The lowest measured read noise is $12e^-$. The dark current at 223 K was determined to be $7e^-/s/pix$ and its doubling temperature is $5.3^{\circ}C{\pm}0.2^{\circ}C$ at an activation energy of 0.6 eV. The maximum quantum efficiency at 223 K was estimated to be $93%{\pm}2%$. We proved that the quantum efficiency is sensitive to the operating temperature. It varies up to 5 % in the visible region, while the variation increases to 30 % in the near-infrared region. Based on the comparison of our results with the test report by the vendor, we conclude that our performance test results are consistent with those from the vendor considering the test environment. We also confirmed that the KASI detector performance test system is reliable and our measurement method and analysis are accurate.

직접 메탄올 연료전지는 간단한 구조와 디자인 그리고 높은 에너지 밀도와 에너지 변환 효율등의 장점으로 인하여 휴대용 장치들의 전력원으로 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 직접 메탄올 연료전지의 연료 농도를 감지하기 위한 얇은 나피온 막과 Pt 촉매전극의 합성으로 만들어진 메탄을 센서를 제작하였다. 제작된 메탄을 센서를 사용하여 메탄올 농도와 촉매전극(Pt)의 두께 변화에 따른 전류-전압 특성을 분석하였다. Pt 촉매전극 10nm, 전압이 1V 이고 메탄올 농도 1, 2, 3M일 때 전류 값이 각각 $1.30{\times}10^{-6}A,\;1.96{\times}10^{-6}A,\;2.80{\times}10^{-6} A$ 이었다. 메탄올 농도를 2M로 고정하고 촉매전극의 두께를 5, 10, 15nm로 변화시켰을 때 전류 값은 각각 $3.06{\times}10^{-6}A,\;1.96{\times}10^{-6}A,\;1.00{\times}10^{-6}A$ 이었다. 촉매전극이 얇을수록 전류가 증가하고 전기화학반응이 더 활발히 일어나는 것으로 사료된다.

PURPOSES : This research investigates traffic noise characteristics as change the transverse rumble strips shape from rectangular to cylinder at toll plaza of highway. METHODS : The traffic noise was investigated at two different places at toll plaza of highway. One is modified grooving, another is employed cylinder shape of TRS instead of rectangular shape of TRS. A measurement of traffic noise was conducted at same location and time period. The traffic volume information was gotten from office of highway office and vehicle speed was measured by speed measuring device. The traffic noise measurement was conducted from 13:00 to 23:00 and by pass-by method. Also, the traffic noise was measured behind noise barrier. Various distance from noise barrier(7.5m, 30m, 50m) and different heights(1.2m, 3m, and 5m) were parameter for measurement of traffic noise in this study. RESULTS : The class 1 vehicle was contributed from traffic volume which was increased 1,500. However, the distribution of traffic speed didn't change compare to previous investigated period. From this study, It was found that the external traffic noise was changed as function of geometric shape of TRS. The external noise from modified grooving was less than 1.2dB(A) of the current TRS. A difference of traffic noise was 20dB(A) before and after barrier. It came from a noise barrier effect as reduction of traffic noise. According to investigate a traffic noise distribution near barrier, there is similar noise characteristic as function of height at 7.5m distance from noise barrier. Also, There is no different traffic noise between 30m and 50m from source of the noise of sound barrier. CONCLUSIONS : Based on this traffic noise investigation result, there is a clear characteristic difference as changed TRS shape. The traffic noise was reduced by changed TRS shape. Specially, traffic noise was decreased although the traffic volume was increase for same investigation time and period. It is implied that cylinder type of TRS significantly reduces the traffic noise. The specification of various TRS will be studied in the future.

Air pollutants emitted from chimneys of coal-fired power plants are considered to be a major source of fine particulate matter in the atmosphere. In order to manage fine particle in the chimney of a coal-fired power plant, it is necessary to know the concentration of fine particle emitted in real time, but the current system is difficult. In this study, a real-time measurement system for chimney fine particle was developed, and measurements were performed on six coal-fired power plants. Through the measurements, the mass concentration distribution according to the particle size could be secured. All six chimneys showed bimodal distribution, and the count median diameters of each mode were 0.5 and 1.1 ㎛. In addition, it was compared with the gravimetric measurement method, and it was determined that the relative accuracy for PM10 was within 20%, and the value measured using the developed measuring instrument was reliable. Finally, three power plants were continuously measured for one month, and as a result of comparing the concentration of PM10 according to the amount of power generation, it was confirmed that the PM10 discharged from the chimney increased in the form of an exponential function according to the amount of power generation.

In order to surface Hydrophobilization of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fiber samples were treated in the atmosphere of CF$_{4}$ or $C_{2}$F$_{6}$glow discharge. The sample used in this study was PET film which is 75$\mu$m thick made by Teijin, O-Type(Japan). The cleaned samples were placed in plasma reactor made of pyrex glass cylinder, and plasma processing was carried out by glow discharge of CF$_{4}$ or $C_{2}$F$_{6}$ gas, being continuously fed by gas flow and continuously pumped out by a vacuum system. Electric power source for generate plasma state was sustained alternating current(60Hz) and voltage was sustained 600 volt. The duration of plasma treatment varied from 15 to 120 seconds except special case, the monomer gase pressure varied from 0.02 to 0.3 Torr and power range was 10 to 90 watts. The hydrophobic features of changed PET surface were evaluated by contact angle measurement and surface chemical characteristics were analyzed by ESCA. Results can be summerized as follows. 1. The most favorable setting position of substrate was the center area between the two electrodes. 2. $C_{2}$F$_{6}$ discharge current was lower than that of CF$_{4}$ when same voltage was sustained. Treated efficiency between CF$_{4}$ and $C_{2}$F$_{6}$ did not revealed significant differences under same electric power(wattage). 3. When monomer pressure is very low below 0.02 torr, as though substrate is exposed to CF$_{4}$ or $C_{2}$F$_{6}$ plasma, it tend to be hydrophilic through a little of fluorine bond and a great deal of oxidizing reaction. 4. There brought good hydrophobilization when monomer pressure was more 0.1 torr and duration of glow discharge treatment was over 45 seconds. When monomer pressure was too high, discharge current became low. Although prolong the duration, there was no more high hydrophobilization. 5. According to ESCA analysis, there were a little CF bond and a prevailing CF$_{2}$ bond in CF$_{4}$-treated substrate. There were CF$_{3}$, a little CF and a prevailing CF$_{2}$ bond in $C_{2}$F$_{6}$-treated substrate.d substrate.

Boron nitride (BN) and carbon nitride (CN) films, which have relatively low work functions and commonly exhibit negative electron affinity behaviors, were coated on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by magnetron sputtering. The CNTs were directly grown on metal-tip (tungsten, approximately 500nm in diameter at the summit part) substrates by inductively coupled plasma-chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD). The variations in the morphology and microstructure of CNTs due to coating of the BN and CN films were analyzed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to identify the existence of the coated layers (CN and BN) on CNTs. The electron-emission properties of the BN-coated and CN-coated CNT-emitters were characterized using a high-vacuum field emission measurement system, in terms of their maximum emission currents ($I_{max}$) at 1kV and turn-on voltage ($V_{on}$) for approaching $1{\mu}A$. The results showed that the $I_{max}$ current was significantly increased and the $V_{on}$ voltage were remarkably reduced by the coating of CN or BN films. The measured values of $I_{max}-V_{on}$ were as follows; $176{\mu}A$-500V for the 5nm CN-coated emitter and $289{\mu}A$-540V for the 2nm BN-coated emitter, respectively, while the $I_{max}-V_{on}$ of the as-grown (i.e., uncoated) emitter was $134{\mu}A$-620V. In addition, the CNT emitters coated with thin CN or BN films also showed much better long-term (up to 25h) stability behaviors in electron emission, as compared with the conventional CNT emitter.

Rare-earth (RE) nitrides can be used as magnetocaloric materials in low temperature. They exhibit ferromagnetism and have Curie temperature in the region from 6 to 70 K. In this study, Holmium nitride (HoN) nano particles were prepared through plasma arc discharge technique and their magnetocaloric properties were studied. Nitrogen gas ($N_2$) was employed as an active element for arc discharge between two electrodes maintained at a constant current. Also, it played an important role not only as a reducing agent but also as an inevitable source of excited nitrogen molecules and nitrogen ions for the formation of HoN phase. Partial pressure of $N_2$ was systematically varied from 0 to 28,000 Pa in order to obtain single phase of HoN with minimal impurities. Magnetic entropy change (${\Delta}S_m$) was calculated with data set measured by PPMS (Physical Property Measurement System). The as-synthesized HoN particles have shown a magnetic entropy change ${\Delta}S_m$) of 27.5 J/kgK in applied field of 50,000 Oe at 14.2 K thereby demonstrating its ability to be applied as an effective magnetic refrigerant towards the re-liquefaction of hydrogen.
