A 4${\times}10^{19}cm^{3}$ carbon-doped base AlGaAs/GaAs HBY was grown using carbontetracholoride(CCl$_4$) by atmospheric pressure MOCVD. Abruptness of emitter-base junction was characterized by SIMS(secondary ion mass spectorscopy) and the doping concentration of base layer was confirmed by DXRD(double crystal X-ray diffractometry). Mesa-type HBTs were fabricated using wet etching and lift-off technique. The base sheet resistance of R$_{sheet}$=550${\Omega}$/square was measured using TLM(transmission line model) method. The fabricated transistor achieved a collector-base junction breakdown voltage of BV$_{CBO}$=25V and a critical collector current density of J$_{O}$=40kA/cm$^2$ at V$_{CE}$=2V. The 50$\times$100$\mu$$^2$ emitter transistor showed a common emitter DC current gain of h$_{FE}$=30 at a collector current density of JS1CT=5kA/cm$^2$ and a base current ideality factor of ηS1EBT=1.4. The high frequency characterization of 5$\times$50$\mu$m$^2$ emitter transistor was carried out by on-wafer S-parameter measurement at 0.1~18.1GHz. Current gain cutoff frequency of f$_{T}$=27GHz and maximum oscillation frequency of f$_{max}$=16GHz were obtained from the measured Sparameter and device parameters of small-signal lumped-element equivalent network were extracted using Libra software. The fabricated HBT was proved to be useful to high speed and power spplications.

The shield building of AP1000 was designed to protect the steel containment vessel of the nuclear reactor. Therefore, the safety and integrity must be ensured during the plant life in any conditions such as an earthquake. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of water in the water tank on the response of the AP1000 shield building when subjected to three-dimensional seismic ground acceleration. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics method (SPH) and finite element method (FEM) coupling method is used to numerically simulate the fluid and structure interaction (FSI) between water in the water tank and the AP1000 shield building. Then the grid convergence of FEM and SPH for the AP1000 shield building is analyzed. Next the modal analysis of the AP1000 shield building with various water levels (WLs) in the water tank is taken. Meanwhile, the pressure due to sloshing and oscillation of the water in the gravity drain water tank is studied. The influences of the height of water in the water tank on the time history of acceleration of the AP1000 shield building are discussed, as well as the distributions of amplification, acceleration, displacement, and stresses of the AP1000 shield building. Research on the relationship between the WLs in the water tank and the response spectrums of the structure are also taken. The results show that the high WL in the water tank can limit the vibration of the AP1000 shield building and can more efficiently dissipate the kinetic energy of the AP1000 shield building by fluid-structure interaction.

Low temperature selective epitaxial growth of Si and SiGe has been obtained using an industrial single wafer chemical vapor deposition module operating at reduced pressure. Epitaxial Si and heteroepitaxial SiGe deposition with Ge content about 20 % has been studied as extrinsic base for self-aligned heterojunction bipolar transistors(HBTs), which helps to reduce the parasitic resistance to obtain higher maximum oscillation frequencies(f$\_$max/). The dependence of Si and SiGe deposition rates on exposed windows and their evolution with the addition of HCl to the gas mixture are investigated. SiH$_2$Cl$_2$ was used as the source of Si SEG(Selective Epitaxial Growth) and GeH$_4$ was added to grow SiGe SEG. The addition of HCl into the gas mixture allows increasing an incubation time even low growth temperature of 675∼725$^{\circ}C$. In addition, the selectivity is enhanced for the SiGe alloy and it was proposed that the incubation time for the polycrystalline deposit on the oxide is increased probably due to GeO formation. On the other hand, when only SiGe SEG(Selective Epitaxial Growth) layer is used for extrinsic base, it shows a higher sheet resistance with Ti-silicide because of Ge segregation to the interface, but in case of Si or Si/SiGe SEG layer, the sheet resistance is decreased up to 70 %.

AlGaAs 장벽층을 성장한 후 기판온도를 $300^{\circ}C$로 설정하여 Ga을 3.75 원자층를 (ML) 조사하여 Ga drop을 형성하였다. Ga drop을 GaAs 나노구조로 결정화시키기 위하여 $As_4$를 beam equivalent pressure (BEP) 기준으로 $1{\times}10^{-4}$ Torr로 기판온도 $150^{\circ}C$에서 조사하였다. 결정화 직후 RHEED로 육각구조의 회절 페턴을 관측하여 결정화를 확인하였다. GaAs 나노 구조를 성장한 후 AlGaAs 장벽층을 성장하기위해 10 nm AlGaAs layer는 MEE 방법을 이용하여 $150^{\circ}C$에서 저온 성장 하였으며, 저온성장 후 기판온도를 $580^{\circ}C$로 설정하여 80 nm의 AlGaAs 층을 성장하고 최종적으로 GaAs 10 nm를 capping layer로 성장하였다. 저온성장 과정에서의 결정성의 저하를 보상하기위하여 MBE 챔버내에서 $650^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 수행하였다. GaAs/AlGaAs 양자점의 광학적 특성은 photoluminescence를 이용하여 평가 하였으며 780 nm 근처에서 발광을 보여 주었다. 특히 PR 실험으로부터 시료의 전기장에 의한 Franz-Keldysh oscillation (FKO)의 변화를 관측하여 GaAs/AlGaAs 양자점의 존재에 의한 시료의 표면에 형성되는 표면전기장을 측정하였다. 또한 시료에 형성된 전기장의 세기를 계산하기위해 PR 신호로부터 fast Fourier transformation (FFT)을 이용하였다. 특히 온도의 존성실험을 통하여 표면전기장의 변화를 관측 하였으며 양자구속효과와 관련성에 대하여 고찰 하였다.

Natural circulation systems (NCSs) are extensively applied in nuclear power plants because of their simplicity and inherent safety features. For some passive natural circulation systems in floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs), the ocean is commonly used as the heat sink. Condensation induced water hammer (CIWH) events may appear as the steam directly contacts the subcooled seawater, which seriously threatens the safe operation and integrity of the NCSs. Nevertheless, the research on the formation mechanisms of CIWH is insufficient, especially in NCSs. In this paper, the characteristics of flow rate and fluid temperature are emphatically analyzed. Then the formation types of CIWH are identified by visualization method. The experimental results reveal that due to the different size and formation periods of steam slugs, the flow rate presents continuous and irregular oscillation. The fluid in the horizontal hot pipe section near the water tank is always subcooled due to the reverse flow phenomenon. Moreover, the transition from stratified flow to slug flow can cause CIWH and enhance flow instability. Three types of formation mechanisms of CIWH, including the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, the interaction of solitary wave and interface wave, and the pressure wave induced by CIWH, are obtained by identifying 67 CIWH events.

파라핀 왁스는 높은 후퇴율 때문에 하이브리드 로켓의 연료로 많은 각광을 받고 있다. 하지만 파라핀 연료의 연소에서도 비정상적인 저주파수 연소압력 진동이 관찰되고 있는데, 이는 연료 표면에 형성된 액체층과 액적의 유입과 관련이 있는 것으로 추론된다. 본 연구는 액적에 의한 추가적 연소와 저주파수 연소불안정 발생과의 관계를 분석하였다. 한편, 액적의 발생은 관성력과 액체의 표면장력의 비로 정의되는 We수(Weber Number)와 액체층의 Re수(Reynolds Number)에 따라 변화하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 일차적으로 실험실 규모의 로켓을 사용하여 We수에 따른 연소불안정의 발생여부를 관찰하였다. We수의 조절은 산화제 유량 변화를 통한 관성력의 변화와 LDPE(Low Density Polyethylene) 첨가에 의한 표면장력의 변화를 통해 시도하였다. 저주파수의 연소불안정의 발생은 특정한 We수 이상에서만 관찰되었고 임계 We수가 존재하는 것을 확인하였다.

연소기 내부의 공동은 낮은 속도의 재순환영역과 유동의 진동을 일으켜 연료와 공기의 혼합 효율을 증대시키고, 화염을 유지함으로써 지속적인 연소를 가능하게 한다. 본 연구에서는 공동의 형상 인자에 따른 내부 유동의 특성을 실험과 2차원 전산해석을 통해 관찰하였다. 초음속 연소기 내 유동은 단순히 L/D 이외에도 다양한 공동 형상인자에 따라 크게 영향을 받는 것이 관찰되었다. 동일 L/D에서도 공동의 깊이에 따라 open과 closed 형태가 나타남을 확인하였고, 공동의 후방 경사각, 연소기 높이도 유동 특성이 달라지며, 이는 전압력 손실에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

During an earthquake on December 29th 2020, the Krško NPP automatically shutdown due to the trigger of the negative neutron flux rate signal on the power range nuclear instrumentation. From the time course of the detector signal, it can be concluded that the fluctuation in the detector signal may have been caused by the mechanical movement of the ex-core neutron detectors or the pressure vessel components rather than the actual change in reactor power. The objective of the analysis was to evaluate the sensitivity of the neutron flux at the ex-core detector position, if the detector is moved in the radial or axial direction. In addition, the effect of the core barrel movement and core inside the baffle movement in the radial direction were analysed. The analysis is complemented by the calculation of the thermal and total neutron flux gradient in radial, axial and azimuthal directions. The Monte Carlo particle transport code MCNP was used to study the changes in the response of the ex-core detector for the above-mentioned scenarios. Power and intermediate-range detectors were analysed separately, because they are designed differently, positioned at different locations, and have different response characteristics. It was found that the movement of the power range ex-core detector has a negligible effect on the value of the thermal neutron flux in the active part of the detector. However, the radial movement of the intermediate-range detector by 5 cm results in 7%-8% change in the thermal neutron flux in the active part of the intermediate-range detector. The analysis continued with an evaluation of the effects of moving the entire core barrel on the ex-core detector response. It was estimated that the 2 mm core barrel radial oscillation results in ~4% deviation in the power and intermediate-range detector signal. The movement of the reactor core inside baffle can contribute ~6% deviation in the ex-core neutron detector signal. The analysis showed that the mechanical movement of ex-core neutron detectors cannot explain the fluctuations in the ex-core detector signal. However, combined core barrel and reactor core inside baffle oscillations could be a probable reason for the observed fluctuations in the ex-core detector signal during an earthquake.

연구배경: 운동이 폐기능에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 그동안 많은 연구가 진행되었으나 운동이 폐활량에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 이견이 많다. Impulse oscillometry(IOS)는 최근 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 새로운 방법의 폐기능 측정법이나 이 방법으로 운동의 효과를 연구한 보고는 아직 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 일반 성인을 대상으로 운동의 정도에 따른 노력성 호기성 폐활량 측정법과 IOS를 이용하여 폐기능 검사를 시행하여 운동이 폐기능에 미치는 영향에 대해서 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 호흡기 증상이 없는 59명의 젊은 성인을 대상으로 최근 땀이 날 정도의 운동을 하는 시간에 따라 1주에 30분 이내인 제 1군 (23명), 30분에서 3 시간사이인 제 2군 (18명), 그리고 3시간 이상인 제 3군(18명)으로 나누고 이들에 대해 노력성 호기성 폐활량 측정법과 IOS를 이용한 폐기능 검사를 시행하였다. 결 과: 운동이 폐활량 측정법에 미치는 영향으로 호기성 폐활량(FVC)의 예측치에 대한 백분율은 운동시간이 1주에 3시간 이상인 군에서 1주에 30분 이내인 군에 비해 유의하게 높았으나(1군: $93.8{\pm}9.9%$, 3군: $102.4{\pm}14.8%$, p-value=0.017), 1초간의 노력성호기성 폐활량(FEV1)과 노력성 호기중간 기류량(FEF50%)의 예측치의 백분율은 각 군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 운동이 IOS 지표에 미치는 영향으로 5Hz에서의 유도저항에서 예측치를 뺀 값은 운동시간이 1주에 3 시간 이상인 군에서 30분 이내인 군에 비해 유의하게 낮았으나 (1 군 : $-0.093{\pm}0.036hPa/1/s$, 3군: $-0.166{\pm}0.123hPa/1/s$, p-value= 0.006), 공명주파수(Resonance frequency), 5Hz, 20Hz, 35Hz에서의 기도저항은 각 군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결 론: 운동은 노력성 폐활량을 증가시키고 5Hz에서의 유도저항(X5)을 감소시킨다.

Machine foundations with impact loads are common powerful sources of industrial vibrations. These foundations are generally transferring vertical dynamic loads to the soil and generate ground vibrations which may harmfully affect the surrounding structures or buildings. Dynamic effects range from severe trouble of working conditions for some sensitive instruments or devices to visible structural damage. This work includes an experimental study on the behavior of dry dense sand under the action of a single impulsive load. The objective of this research is to predict the dry sand response under impact loads. Emphasis will be made on attenuation of waves induced by impact loads through the soil. The research also includes studying the effect of footing embedment, and footing area on the soil behavior and its dynamic response. Different falling masses from different heights were conducted using the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) to provide the single pulse energy. The responses of different soils were evaluated at different locations (vertically below the impact plate and horizontally away from it). These responses include; displacements, velocities, and accelerations that are developed due to the impact acting at top and different depths within the soil using the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) and accelerometers (ARH-500A Waterproof, and Low capacity Acceleration Transducer) that are embedded in the soil in addition to soil pressure gauges. It was concluded that increasing the footing embedment depth results in increase in the amplitude of the force-time history by about 10-30% due to increase in the degree of confinement. This is accompanied by a decrease in the displacement response of the soil by about 40-50% due to increase in the overburden pressure when the embedment depth increased which leads to increasing the stiffness of sandy soil. There is also increase in the natural frequency of the soil-foundation system by about 20-45%. For surface foundation, the foundation is free to oscillate in vertical, horizontal and rocking modes. But, when embedding a footing, the surrounding soil restricts oscillation due to confinement which leads to increasing the natural frequency. Moreover, the soil density increases with depth because of compaction, which makes the soil behave as a solid medium. Increasing the footing embedment depth results in an increase in the damping ratio by about 50-150% due to the increase of soil density as D/B increases, hence the soil tends to behave as a solid medium which activates both viscous and strain damping.
