One of the main technical constraints of a conventional battery is the limited lifetime of electric energy supplied. With self-power generation using an internal radioisotope as an emitter of beta particles, and a PN-junction semiconductor as an absorber of the beta particles, a betavoltaic battery can provide electric energy to electric devices in a semi-permanent manner. Hence, a betavoltaic battery can be adopted as the solution to the power source issue of IoT devices placed in locations that people cannot easily access, such as in the deep sea, a desert, and space, and requiring a long operation time without an electrical charging. This paper covers the current trends in betavoltaic batteries including issues regarding their technology, application, and patents.

This paper presents the designing/manufacturing scheme of the diplexer for satellite transponder which is composed of 2-channel bandpass filters, coupled with E-plane T-junction, having symmetrical waveguide E-plane step discontinuity structures. The 2-channel bandpass filters of the diplexer are designed by the scheme of connecting ${\lambda}_{g}$/2 shunt stub to the waveguide E-plane, playing the role of heat sinks without attaching a special heat sinks and to give the profitable productivity and allow the low-cost manufacturing at mass production, tuning screws are eliminated which have been used to compensate the operating characteristics of manufactured filters. The 2 channel bandpass filters of manufactured 14/12 GHz diplexer for domestic Ku-band satellite transponder have the return loss of 25 dB, insertion loss of 0.3 dB in passband, and below-50 dB of stopband characteristics (T$_{x}$ : f$_{o}{\pm}$250 MHz, R$_{x}$ : f$_{o}{\pm}$220 MHz) at room temperature.

Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) were fabricated with high bias for plasma oxidation and the effects of annealing on the temperature dependence of tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) were investigated experimentally. As-grown, TMR increases, peaks around 160 K, and decreases with increasing temperature from 80 K to 300 K. When MTJs are annealed, $T_{max}$, the temperature at which maximum TMR is obtained, decreases as annealing temperature increases to the optimal point. In order to explain this abnormal temperature dependence of TMR, the difference of conductance between parallel and antiparallel alignments of magnetizations as a function of temperature is also analyzed. The shifts of $T_{max}$ due to annealing process are described phenomenologically with spin-dependent transfer rates of electrons tunnel through the barrier.

To investigate the reliability of the MTJs on the roughness of insulating tunnel barrier, we prepared two MTJs with the different uniformity of barrier thickness. Namely, the one has uniform insulating barrier thickness; the other has non-uniform insulating barrier thickness as compared to different thing. As to depositing amorphous layer CoZrNb under the pinning layer IrMn, we achieved MTJ with uniform barrier thickness. Toinvestigate the reliability of the MTJs dependent on the bottom electrode, time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) measurements were carried out under constant voltage stress. The Weibull fit of out data shows clearly that $t_{BD}$ scales with the thickness uniformity of MTJs tunnel barrier. Assuming a linear dependence of log($t_{BD}$) on stress voltages, we obtained the lifetime of $10^4$years at a operating voltage of 0.4 V at MTJs comprising CoNbZr layers. This study shows that the reliabilityof new MTJs structure was improved due to the ultra smooth barrier, because the surface roughness of the bottom electrode influenced the uniformity of tunnel barrier.

$Pb/Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}$-single-crystal junctions with the tunneling direction along the c axis of the crystal were fabricated to obtain an s-wave-superconductor/d-wave-superconductor Josephson junctions. The tunneling R (T) curves and current-voltage characteristics show distinct features which can be explained only under the assumption that the order parameter of high-$T_c/Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+{\delta}}$ superconductors has a pure d-wave symmetry, which is in contrast to the case of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7+{\delta$}}$erconductors where a minor s-wave component is also present..

(001) $\textrm{SrTiO}_3$(STO) 기판위에 고온초전도 $\textrm{YBa}_{2}\textrm{Cu}_{3}\textrm{O}_{7-x}$(YBCO)박막을 이용한 계단형 모서리 임계접합을 제조하였다. STO (100) 단결정 기판위에 계단형 모서리(step-edge)를 제작하기 위한 이온밀링 마스크로 plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition방법으로 증착된 diamond-like carbon (DLC) 박막을 사용하였고, oxygen reactive ion etch 방법으로 건식식각하였다. 이렇게 제작된 계단형 모서리 기판위에 c-축 수직한 YBCO 박막과 STO박막을 pulsed laser deposition방법으로 에피텍셜하게 증착하였다. 계단의 상층과 하층에서 모두 임계가 형성되었으며 이 접합의 임계온도는 77 K 이상이었고 16K에서 $\textrm{I}_{c}\textrm{R}_{n}$products가 7.5mV, 77 K에서 0.3mV의 값을 나타내었다. 이들 전류-전압 특성은 two noisy resistively shunted Josephson junction 모델을 잘 만족하였다.

다양한 열전쌍(TC)의 냉점보정(CJC)과 단선 감지 회로설계와 이를 이용한 다채널 TC 인터페이스 회로를 설계하였다. 냉점보정(CJC)과 단선 감지 기능 회로는 열전쌍, CJC 반도체 소자, 계측 증폭기(IA), 단선 감지용 저항 2개와 하나의 다이오드로 구성된다. 이 기본회로를 바탕으로 다채널 인터페이스 회로도 구현하였다. CJC는 보상 전용 반도체와 IA를 사용하여 구현하였고, 단선감지는 2개의 저항과 하니의 다이오드를 사용하여 IA 입력전압이 -0.42V가 되도록 하여 검출하였다. R-형 TC를 사용하여 실험한 결과 설계한 회로는 0℃~1400℃의 온도범위에서 냉점보정 후 오차가 0.14mV에서 3㎶로 감소되었다. 또한, TC가 정상에서 단선인 경우 IA의 출력전압이 88mV에서 -0.42V로 포화된 것을 확인하였다. 0℃~1400℃의 온도 범위에서 설계한 회로의 출력전압은 0V~10V이였다. R-형 TC를 사용하여 4-채널 인터페이스를 실험한 결과에서도 각 채널에 CJC와 단선 감지 결과와 거의 동일하였다. 구현한 다채널 인터페이스는 CJC 반도체 소자의 단자의 변경과 IA의 이득을 조절하면 E, J, K, T, R, S-형 TC에도 동일하게 적용할 수 있는 특징을 갖는다.

In this study, the effects of four major river project and Kumho River, second biggest branch of Nakdong River, were investigated to provide basic data for proper management of Nakdong River's water quality. Daily sampling processes at three different points, Munsanri (the upper side of Kangjung-Koryung weir), Kangchang (the outlet of the Kumho River) and Samunjin (the lower side of Kangjung-Koryung weir and junction of Kumho River and Nakdong River), were conducted from May 1st 2011 to Sep. 4th 2011. Water samples were analyzed for nine factors, DO, BOD, COD, T-N, T-P, pH, turbidity, SS, and coliform. As demonstrated by the results, concentrations of BOD, T-N, T-P and coliform at Nakdong River were affected by water quality of Kumho River while SS and turbidity were affected by constructions for Kangjung-Koryung weir. Further studies, for example, affects of wastewater treatment facilities, should be followed.

In this study, an age-hardened 6061-T6 alloy sheet was used, which is commonly utilized for auto parts. The junction strength characteristics in relation to the stirring speed and welding speed were studied in accordance with the friction stir welding rotation of the tool pin. Micro hardness measurements of A type and B type pins, for a welding speed of 400 mm/min and a tool rotational speed 3000 rpm, were obtained as Hv104 and Hv111, respectively. For a welding speed of 200 mm/min and a tool rotational speed of 2000 rpm, we obtained Hv48 and Hv50 for A and B type pins, respectively. Microstructure observation showed that the stirring portion was fine and uniform, which occurred because of its plastic deformation. In the thermomechanically affected zone, partial recrystallization was present because of the plastic deformation. The crystal grains in the heat affected zone were coarsened due to the heat generated by friction stir welding.

본 논문은 차량 탑재형 DBS 수신 시스템에 적용하기 위하여 Galerkin 모멘트법을 이용한 유도성 벽을 가진 16 포트 급전 도파관 어레이에 대해 기술하고 있다. 먼저, π분기 한 단의 전자계 해석 및 설계의 타당성을 입증하기 위해, π분기 한 단을 DBS 밴드에서 설계 ·제작하였다. π분기 한 단에 대한 측정결과는 이론치와는 잘 일치하였다. 이 설계법을 토대로 WR-90 표준 도파관을 이용한 어레이 설계를 행하였다. 그러나 WR-90 표준 도파관의 경우, π분기 한 단의 폭이 관내파장보다 커져서 8 포트 어레이에 대해 2.3 dB의 진폭차와 62도의 위상차를 보였으며 반사손실 -20 dB 이하의 대역폭도 약 220 ㎒ DBS의 대역폭을 만족시키지 못했다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 π분기 한 단의 폭이 관내파장과 같은 크기를 갖도록 하는 설계법을 제안하였다. 이 설계법에 의해 8 포트 어레이의 경우, 진폭차를 1 dB 이내로, 위상차를 13도 이내로 줄일 수 있었으며, 대역폭도 700 ㎒로 광대역화 할 수 있었다. 또한 16 포트 도파관 어레이의 크기를 WR-90 표준 도파관 어레이에 비해 약 10 cm 정도 줄이는 효과를 얻었다. 제작한 16 포트 급전 도파관 어레이를 이용하여 안테나의 이득을 측정한 결과, DBS 대역에서 24 dBi 이상의 고이득을 실현할 수 있었다.
