Heat dissipation in the domestic switching room has been gradually increased. Therefore, numerical study on the cooling characteristics of the telecommunication system in a switching room for three kinds of the air supply and return flow system was investigated to develop effective flow system. As a result, the cooling performance of the under floor air supply and overhead return flow system was the best.

This article explains the experimental results of ferroelectric polarization switching (FPS) of potassium nitrate ($KNO_3$) with different polymers such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) using simple melt-press techniques. To analyze the ferroelectric polarization switching in potassium nitrate ($KNO_3$) composite films at room temperature, we applied the Ishibashi and Takagi theory (based on Avrami model) to the switching current transient. To investigate the dimensionality of domain growth, the ferroelectric polarization switching current (FPS current) was observed from the square - wave bipolar signals across a resistance of $0.1k{\Omega}$ in series with the composite films. The existence of a switching current transient pulse confirmed the ferroelectricity and indicated the stability of the ferroelectric phase (phase III) of $KNO_3$ at room temperature. Polarization hysteresis (P-E) characteristics supported the prominent features of ferroelectric polarization switching in the composite films at room temperature.

An experimental facility consisting of two $3{\times}4.4{\times}3.8m$ rooms identical in construction is built. Each room has a control system and storage tank supplying hot water to the radiant floor heating system. The facility enables simultaneous comparision of two different control stratigies each implemented in a separate room. The operating performance of three kinds of flow control scheme is tested and compared in this study : (i) conventional on-off control based on feedback from room air temperature (ii) TPSC(two parameter switching control) (iii) TPOC(two parameter on-off control). Results show that TPSC and TPOC using room air and surface temperature sequentially as feedback signal to control hot water supply is the better temperature regulation scheme than conventional control based on feedback from only room air temperature. They are good candidates for the room with radiant floor heating system under continuous and intermittent heating mode.

In this study, we fabricate resistive switching random access memory (ReRAM) devices constructed with a Al/$HfO_2$/ITO structure on glass substrates and investigate their memory characteristics. The hafnium oxide thin film used as a resistive switching layer is sputtered at room temperature in a sputtering system with a cooling unit. The Al/$HfO_2$/ITO device exhibits bipolar resistive switching characteristics, and the ratio of the high resistance (HRS) to low resistance states (LRS) is more than 60. In addition, the resistance ratio maintains even after $10^4$ seconds.

Electrical resistivity and switching phenomena in glass semiconductor of AsTe and AsTeGa is studied. Samples sliced from ingot which is air quenched or water quenched, show high resistivity at room temperature. The resistivity of the AsTe and AsTeGa is 1*10$^{6}$ .ohm.-cm and 5*10$^{6}$ .ohm.-cm at 27.deg. C. Switching phenomena take place in thin the thick samples. Holding voltage is different with the thickness of the samples and the characteristics of switching in the thin and thick samhles are similar. When square wave pulse voltage is applied, delay time is detected to 5.mu.sec by oscilloscpoe.

본 연구에서는 Sputter를 이용하여 Room Temp.에서 증착된 NbOx 박막의 열처리에 따른 결정도를 분석하고, 이러한 결정도의 변화가 Metal Insulator Transition특성에 의한 Threshold switching에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지에 대하여 연구하였다. NbOx 박막의 threshold switching 특성 분석을 위해, 1.4um의 TiN 위에 15nm의 NbOx를 증착하고 Top Electrode로 Pt를 증착하여 측정하였다. 증착된 NbOx는 Nb metal target으로 Reactive Sputter를 이용하여 Room Temp.에서 증착하였으며, 조성은 Partial Oxygen Pressure를 이용하여 조절하였다. 증착된 박막의 결정도는 TEM 및 XRD를 통하여 분석하였고 조성은 XPS를 이용하여 분석하였다. Sputter로 NbOx 증착 시 Partial Oxygen Pressure에 따른 조성을 XPS로 확인한 결과, Partial Oxygen Pressure 2%에서 NbOx의 조성을, 5%이상일 경우, Nb2O5의 조성을 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. Partial Oxygen Pressure 2%에서 증착한 NbOx 박막의 열처리에 따른 결정도를 분석한 결과, As-Dep상태에서는 amorphous상태였다가 600'C이상으로 1분간 열처리를 하였을 때 NbOx의 결정도가 증가함을 확인하였다. I-V 특성 측정 결과, 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 initial current가 점진적으로 증가하는 경향을 보이는데, 이는 열처리 시 amorphous상에서 poly-crystalline으로 미세구조의 변화가 일어나면서 grain boundary가 생성되며 생성된 grain boundary를 통해 leakage current가 증가하는 것으로 추측된다. 또한, 결정도가 증가함에 따라 electro-forming voltage가 감소하는 경향을 보이며 안정된 threshold switching 특성을 보이고 있다. 특히, 700'C 1분간 열처리 시에는 electro-forming 과정이 없이 threshold switching이 나타나는 현상이 관찰되었다. 이로 미루어 보아, threshold switching에서 나타나는 forming 현상은 local joule heating에 의해 박막이 결정화 되는 과정으로 추측된다. 결론적으로, 박막의 결정도가 initial current 및 Threshold switching 특성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 예상된다.

We investigated electrical conduction and resistance switching behavior of the Ag/ZnO/Ti structures for random access memory devices. These films were prepared on glass substrate by dc sputtering technique at room temperature. The resistance switching follows unipolar switching mode with small switching voltages (0.4 V - 0.6 V). Two electrical conduction mechanisms dominating the LRS and HRS are Ohmic and trap-controlled space charge limited current, respectively. These both conductions are consistent with the filamentary model. Based on the filamentary model, the switching mechanism was also interpreted.

Resistance random access memory (ReRAM) is a promising candidate for next-generation nonvolatile memory because of its advantageous qualities such as simple structure, superior scalability, fast switching speed, low-power operation, and nondestructive readout. We investigated the resistive switching behavior of tantalum oxide that has been widely used in dynamic random access memories (DRAM) in the present semiconductor industry. As a result, it possesses full compatibility with the entrenched complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor processes. According to previous studies, TiN is a good oxygen reservoir. The TiN top electrode possesses the specific properties to control and modulate oxygen ion reproductively, which results in excellent resistive switching characteristics. This study presents fully room temperature fabricated the TiN/$TaO_x$/Pt devices and their electrical properties for nonvolatile memory application. In addition, we investigated the TiN electrode dependence of the electrical properties in $TaO_x$ memory devices. The devices exhibited a low operation voltage of 0.6 V as well as good endurance up to $10^5$ cycles. Moreover, the benefits of high devise yield multilevel storage possibility make them promising in the next generation nonvolatile memory applications.

Based on a semiconductor optical amplifier and sampled fiber Bragg gratings, polarization-controlled waveband switching in multiwavelength fiber laser is successfully demonstrated at room temperature by using high polarization selectivity of a polarization beam splitter. A multiwavelength-switching operation between eight and six laser lines with signal to noise ratio over 35 dB and wavelength spacing of ${\sim}0.8nm$ has been successfully demonstrated. The switching displacement of the proposed laser was ${\sim}7.1nm$. The intensity unevenness between different laser lines was measured to be less than 6.5 dB. The switching displacement between wavebands (groups of contiguous wavelengths), wavelength channels, and their spacings can be flexibly designed by the selected comb filters.
