Transparent film heaters (TFHs) based on Joule heating are currently an active research area. However, TFHs based on an indium tin oxide (ITO) monolayer have a number of problems. For example, heating is concentrated in only part of the device. Also, heating efficiency is low because it has high sheet resistance ($R_s$). To address these problems, this study introduced hybrid layers of ITO/Ag/ITO deposited by magnetron sputtering, and the electrical, optical, and thermal properties were estimated for various thicknesses of the metal interlayer. The $R_s$ of ITO(40)/Ag/ITO(40 nm) hybrid TFHs were 5.33, 3.29 and $2.15{\Omega}/{\Box}$ for Ag thicknesses of 10, 15, and 20 nm, respectively, while the $R_s$ of an ITO monolayer (95 nm) was $59.58{\Omega}/{\Box}$. The maximum temperatures of these hybrid TFHs were 92, 131, and $145^{\circ}C$, respectively, under a voltage of 3 V. And that of the ITO monolayer was only $32^{\circ}C$. For the same total thickness of 95 nm, the heat generation rate (HGR) of the hybrid produced a temperature approximately $100^{\circ}C$ higher than the ITO monolayer. It was confirmed that the film with the lowest $R_s$ of the samples had the highest HGR for the same applied voltage. Overall, hybrid layers of ITO/Ag/ITO showed excellent performance for HGR, uniformity of heat distribution, and thermal response time.

The composites were fabricated $\beta$-SiC and $TiB_2$ powders with the liquid forming additives of 8, 12, 16[wt%] $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ as a sintering aid by pressureless annealing at $1,650[^{\circ}C]$ for 4 hours. Reactions between SiC and transition metal $TiB_2$ were not observed in the microstructure and the phase analysis of the pressureless annealed SiC-$TiB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites. The relative density, the flexural strength, the Young's modulus and the Vicker's hardness showed the highest value of 82.29[%], 189.5[MPa], 54.60 [GPa] and 2.84[GPa] for SiC-$TiB_2$ composites added with 16[wt%] $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives at room temperature. The relative density of SiC-$TiB_2$ composites was lowered due to gaseous products of the result of reaction between SiC and $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$. The electrical resistivity showed the lowest value of 0.012[${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$] for 16[wt%] at 25[$^{\circ}C$]. The electrical resistivity was all negative temperature coefficient resistance (NTCR) in the temperature ranges from 25[$^{\circ}C$] to 700[$^{\circ}C$].

BACKGROUND: Measurement equipment was developed for inorganic nutrient concentration inside the hydroponic culture medium with several macro- and micro compositions, and applied for measuring the compositions of conventional medium. METHODS AND RESULTS: Before the equipment development, sonicator and heater were utilized to control temperature around of the module mixing with color reagents and target samples among the inorganic compositions. The measurement module and multi-sampler were also manufactured based on the COMS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) and installed inside the measurement equipment. Concentration of standard solution, value measured by the equipment, standard deviation or measured average value were used for estimating the accuracy and average recall of the equipment. Yamazaki solutions with EC of 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5 dS/m were offered to confirm the equipment accuracy and standard error. CONCLUSION: It was suggested that the developed equipment could be automatically applied for measurement with accuracy of over 96% and standard errors of less than 5% on 12 macro- and micro compositions such as a NO3-N, PO43- or Fe.

본 논문에서는 높은 품질 인자를 가지는 비대칭 분리고리공진기(ASLR: Asymmetric Split-Loop Resonator) 외곽에 사각 고리를 추가하여 ASLR의 높은 품질 인자 특성은 유지하면서 ASLR의 테라헤르츠파 투과 특성을 능동 제어 가능한 외곽 사각 고리 추가형 ASLR (ASLR-OSL: ASLR with Outer Square Loop)을 제시하였다. 추가된 외곽 사각 고리는 ASLR과 조합되어 메타물질 공진기 역할과 직접적인 전압 인가를 통하여 온도를 조절할 수 있는 마이크로 히터 역할을 동시에 수행하면서, ASLR-OSR이 ASLR의 품질 인자 특성과 유사한 품질 인자 특성을 유지할 수 있도록 설계하였다. ASLR-OSL의 테라헤르츠파 투과 특성을 능동 제어하기 위하여 온도 변화에 따라 절연체-금속 상전이 특성을 가지는 이산화바나듐 ($VO_2$) 박막을 사용하였고, 설계한 ASLR-OSL의 외곽 사각 고리에 직접적인 전압 인가를 통하여 $VO_2$의 특성을 조절하여 테라헤르츠파 투과 특성의 능동 제어가 가능하도록 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 높은 품질 인자를 가지는 메타물질에 간단한 외곽 사각 고리를 추가하여 구성한 능동형 고품질 메타물질 구조는 메타물질의 높은 품질 인자는 유지하면서 테라헤르츠파 투과 특성의 전기적 능동 제어를 가능하게 하여 다양한 형태의 테라헤르츠 능동형 메타물질 소자로 응용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
