  • N-doped and low-hydrogenated DLC thin films were coated on the Mo-tip FEAs in order to improve the field emission performance and their electrical properties were evaluated. The fabricated devices showed improved field emission performance in terms of turn-on voltage, emission current and current fluctuation. This result might be caused both by the shift of Fermi level toward conduction band by N-doping and by the inherent stability of DLC material. Furthermore, the transconductance of the DLC-coated Mo-tip FEA and electrical conductivity and optical band-gap of the deposited DLC films were investigated.

  • Graphene, a monlayer of carbon atoms arrange to form a 2-dimensional honeycomb lattice, exhibits enormous fascinating properties, such as a linear energy dispersion relation, a wide-range optical absorption, high thermal conductivity, and mechanical flexibility [1]. Because the unique material properties of graphene allow it to be a promising building block for the next generation electronic and optoelectronic devices, sometimes graphene-based devices have refereed to be a strong candidate to overcome the intrinsic limitations of conventional semiconductor-based technology [2,3]. However, there are several fundamental or technological hurdles to be overcome in real applications of graphene in electronics and optoelectronics. In this tutorial we will present a short introduction to the basic materials properties and recent progress in applications of graphene and discuss future outlook of graphene-based electronic and optoelectronic devices.

  • Graphene has many fascinating material properties such as high electron mobility, high optical transparency, excellent thermal conductivity, superior Young's modulus, etc. Several studies have recently found that single-layer graphene is chemically more reactive than few-layer graphene when supported on silicon dioxide substrates with sub-nm roughness. In this study, we have investigated the influence of substrates on chemical reactivity of graphene. Morphology and thermal oxidation behavior of graphene on atomically flat mica substrates were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman spectroscopy compared to graphene on SiO2/Si substrates. Notably, oxidation of single-layer graphene proceeds more slowly on mica than SiO2/Si. Detailed analysis led to a conclusion that deformation along the out-of-plane direction enhances reactivity of graphene.

  • The damage threshold measurement of gold films is carried out with ultrashort-pulse laser. An enhanced two temperature model is developed to encounter the limitation of linear modeling during ultrashort pulse laser ablation. In which the electron heat capacity is calculated using a quantum mechanical approach based on a Fermi-Dirac distribution, temperature-dependent electron thermal conductivity valid beyond the Fermi temperature is adopted, and reflectivity and absorption coefficient are estimated by applying a temperature-dependent electron relaxation time. The predicted damage threshold using the proposed enhanced modelclosely agreed with experimental results, demonstrating the importance of considering transient thermal and optical properties in the modeling of ultrashort pulse laser ablation.

  • Pulsed Nd:YAG laser using Nd:YAG crystal operates stably in the thermal conductivity, mechanical, optical condition. That is used broadly in material processings because of easy reaction to the materials, and the maintenance is very easy because of lamp excitation. In these material processings, power dinsity control is very important to improve processing technology. Power density is controled by inductance and capacitance or repetition rate. Therefore we are going to control laser power density as One-Chip Microprocessor(PIC16C55) and 8051. We have been experimented at the pulse repetition rate range of 10pps to 60pps(pulse per second).

  • In conducting systems based on Langmuir - Blodgett (LB) films, tetracyanoquinodimethane(TCNQ) derivatives have been extensively studied as electron acceptor molecules. We have fabricated N-docosyl N'-methyl viologen diTCNQ (DMVT) anion radical LB film and investigated the FT-IR, ESR, and AFM images as the optical, magnetic properties and morphology of the LB film. We have measured in-plane electrical conductivity with number of layers. The in-plane conductivities are approximately $10^{-7}{\sim}10^{-6}\;S/cm$.

  • Low-density silica gel monolith was synthesized at ambient pressure by surface modification with TMCS and sub-sequent heat treatment. The mechanical thermal and optical properties of gel were studied. Compressive strength and modulus of compression of 350$^{\circ}C$-heated gel with the density of 0.24g/cm3 were 250kPa and 0.2MPa respectively. The thermal conductivity of silica gels synthesized at ambient pressure exhibited 0.02 W/m$.$K for the density of 0.24g/cm3 which is similar to that of the gel via supercritical drying and their main thermal transfer mechanism is considered to be solid and radiation conduction at room temperature. Ambient-dried silica gels were transparent blue showing about 60% of transmittance in the wavelength of 1500-2100nm and typical absorption bands of existing bonds under heat treatment at 350$^{\circ}C$. Medium scale monolity(${\Phi}$=50mm) at ambient pressure could be successfully prepared through total 5-month process period.

  • Fe-Si based powders prepare by melting the metals in the composition of FeSi2,.Fe0.95Mn0.05Si2 and Fe0.95Co0.05Si0.2 were used as the starting materials together with a commercial FeSi2 powder to study the effect of oxidation on their thermoelectric properties. The powders were heated at 650~80$0^{\circ}C$ in dired air before forming and sintering at 1190 and 120$0^{\circ}C$ in Ar+7%H2. The microstructure and phases of the annealed specimens were observed using the optical microscopty SEM, EDS and XRD. The thermoelectric properties of the specimens were also measured. The temperature at which Seebe다 coefficient showed the maximum value increased with the degree of oxidation. Electrical conductivity showed a tendency to decrease in the oxidized samples regardless of their compositions. Seebeck coefficient of the specimen showed almost the same value even after oxidation which may be explained by the formation of the discontinuous second phases from impurities in the oxidized specimens.

  • This paper introduces method to estimate pollutant negative influence to polymer type insulator according to the international standard. To accomplish this goal, effective sample collecting method was surface was collected directly with the same dimension. Distilled Through this method pollute is easily and accurately collected. The second step is pollutant analysis. Several analyze item is selected such as quantity, conductivity, contact angle, Optical Microscope(OM), IR spectrometer(FT-IR), Equivalent Salt Deposit Density(ESDD), Thermal Analyzer(TA) and ICP-AES. The third step, best represent tunnel was selected considering location, length and natural surroundings. Also to consider the difference at inside the tunnel, several bracket insulators were selected along to the location. To make the result precise, above procedure was repeated several times at the same target. Finally relation among type of train, numbers of movement, surroundings, length will be considered in combination with the pollution.
