A dependence of weighting parameter in preconditioning method for solving low Mach number flow with incompressible flow nature is investigated. The present preconditioning method employs a finite-difference method applied Roe‘s flux difference splitting approximation with the MUSCL-TVD scheme and 4th-order Runge-Kutta method in curvilinear coordinates. From the computational results of benchmark flows through a 2-D backward-facing step duct it is confirmed that there exists a suitable value of the weighting parameter for accurate and stable computation. A useful method to determine the weighting parameter is introduced. With this method, high accuracy and stable computational results were obtained for the flow with low Mach number in the range of Mach number less than 0.3.

Thermally evaporated Pd films on substrate were hydrogenated upto 1 bar of hydrogen gas at room temperature. Thickness dependence on hydrogenation on Pd film is examined in the thickness range between $60{\AA}$ and $800{\AA}$. Hydrogenation kinetics of thinner films(thinner than $500{\AA}$) and that of thicker films are different. Thin film(thickness < $200{\AA}$, substrate temp. = RT) showed recrystallization due to hydrogen induced heat. Hydrogen was absorbed by chemisorption process in ${\alpha}$ phase of thinner films, and diffusion process in ${\alpha}'$ phase of thicker films respectively.

The classical Geometric Brownian motion (GBM) model for the price of a risky asset, from which the huge financial derivatives industry has developed, stipulates that the log returns are iid Gaussian. however, typical log returns data show a distribution with much higher peaks and heavier tails than the Gaussian as well as evidence of strong and persistent dependence. In this paper we describe a simple replacement for GBM, a fractal activity time Geometric Brownian motion (FATGBM) model based on fractal activity time which readily explains these observed features in the data. Consequences of the model are explained, and examples are given to illustrate how the self-similar scaling properties of the activity time check out in practice.

In this paper, temperature dependence of effective ionization coefficient in Si is formulated as a single polynomial function of temperature, which allows analytical expressions for breakdown voltage of Si $p^+n$ junction as a function of temperature. The analytical breakdown voltages agree well with the simulation as well as the experimental ones reported within $3\%$ in error for the doping concentrations in the range of $10^{14}cm^{-3}{\~} 10^{17}cm^{-3}$ at 100K, 300K and 500K.

Temperature and atmosphere dependence of electrical conduction of the metal Cu, Ag, Au films, vaccum evaporated on glass, was investigated. The structural changes of the metal films were examined by SEM and high temperature XRD. The electrical resistance slightly increased with initial temperature increase up to the inflection point and decreased to minimum value, after this rapidly increased with further temperature increased below minimum. These phenomena were caused by the thermally induced film failure as a result of the mass transport. The temperature for the film failure increased in the order of O2, Air, Vacuum, N2, Ar in Cu, Ag films and Air, Vacuum, N2, Ar in Au film. The increase of resistance at the lower temperature range was attributed to the lattice distortion by disordered crystal structure, while the decreasing resistance was attributed to the removal of structural defects and film densification.

Relaxation spectra of the linear dielectric constants $\varepsilon=\varepsilon'-j{\varepsilon}"$ have been measured as functions of temperature and frequency for alternating copolymers of vinylidene cyanide (VDCN/VAc, VDCN/VPr, VDCN/VBz and VDCN/St) It is found that the linear dielectric constants e show characteristics of the temperature dependence that the real part have a large peak related to the glass transition point(Tg), and of the frequency dependence that the real port increases with decreasing frequency and the imaginary part increases largely in low frequency range. These phenomena mean Debye-type relaxation due to the micro-Brownian moi ions of non-crystalline seqments.

Thin-film humidity sensors were prepared using inorganic/organic hybrid polyelectrolytes, which were prepared from the sol-gel reaction of copolymers of [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethylpropylammonium bromide (MEPAB), n-butyl methacrylate (BMA), and 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TSPM) with tetraethyl ortho-silicate (TEOS). The humidity-sensitive polyelectrolytes were composed of the copolymers having the following mole ratios of MEPAB, BMA, and TSPM: 60/30/10, 55/30/15, and 50/30/20. We found that the impedance varied with the content of MEPAB or TEOS; it ranged from $10^{7} to 10^{3}\Omega$ between 20 and $95\%$ relative humidity, which is the range required for a humidity sensor operating at ambient humidity. In addition we investigated a number of characteristics of these humidity sensors, such as their hysteresis, response time, temperature dependence, frequency dependence, water durability, and long-term stability.

We present Photoluminescence (PL) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) image on InAs quantum dots (QDs) having different size which grown by Molecualr Beam Epitaxy (MBE). For different size QDs, analysis of the AFM profiles show that the density of QDs was the maximum value $(1.1\times10^{11}\textrm{/cm}^2)$ at 2.0 ML. In the spectra of QDs, it is found that the peak energy decreases with increasing dot size due to the effect of quantum confinement. Temperature dependence of PL intensities show that the PL is quenching and Red shift as the temperature increase. The FWHM range of 20K~180K is narrowing with increasing temperature. When temperature is over 180K, the line-width starts to in creases with increasing temperature. At last, temperature dependence of the integrated intensities were fit using the Arrehenius-type function for the activation energy. Fit value of the activation energy was increased with increasing QDs-size.

Thermal characteristics, such as diffusivity and temperature induced change in the fiber mode index of rotation sensing fiber coil are critical factors which determine the time varying, thermo-optically induced bias drift of interferometric fiber-optic gyroscopes (IFOGs). In this study, temperature dependence of the transient effect is analyzed in terms of the thermal characteristics of the fiber coil at three different temperatures. By applying an analytic model to the measured bias in the experiments, comprehensive thermal factors of the fiber coil could be extracted effectively. The validity of the model was confirmed by the fact that the extracted values are reasonable results in comparison with well known properties of the materials of the fiber coil. Temperature induced changes in the critical factors were confirmed to be essential in compensating the transient effect over a wide temperature range.

The effects of anisotropic mechanical stress applied normal to the surface of p-n junctions have been investigated. As the stress increased, the breakdown voltage was decreased and the breakdown mode became softer. Within a certain limitation in the applied stress, the above phenomena werw reversibbe, though relaxation and hysteresis phenomena were observed. The time constant of relaxation depended upon the shape of the stressing tip, but for the given tip and device a unique time constant was obtained. The stress.dependence of breakdown voltage showed a good linearity up to about 3.0${\times}10^4$ kgw/$\textrm{cm}^2$, when the flat tip of radius 15$\mu$ was used, and the temperatere-dependence of breakdown voltage under the stress also showed a good linearity in the temperature range of 100 to $300^{\circ}K$.
