Condition based maintenance(CBM) for the preventive diagnosis of important equipments related to safety or accident in power plant is essential by using the suitable methods based on actual power plant conditions. To improve the reliability and accuracy of the measured value at the minute leak situation, and also to monitor continuously internal leak condition of power plant valve, the development of a diagnosis and monitoring technique using multi-measuring method should be performed urgently. This study was conducted to estimate the feasibility of multi-measuring method using three different methods such as acoustic emission(AE) method, thermal image measurement and temperature difference$({\Delta}T)$ measurement that are applicable to internal leak diagnosis for the power plant valve. From the experimental results, it was suggested that the multi-measuring method could be an effective way to precisely diagnose and evaluate internal leak situation of valve.

Nowadays, many configurations and applications of small atmospheric plasma source have been investigated with growing interest, as it provides the bacteria inactivation, the surface modification and removal of unwanted small regions, and so on. In this paper, the non-thermal micro plasma source under atmospheric pressure by means of submicrosecond pulse voltage waveforms is suggested. Plasma operates in helium is appears as a small (sub-mm) glow at the tip of a plasma gun. Electrical measurements show that the plasma source operates at low voltage (about 500V) and the power consumption is about 1W at 25kHz. Moreover, the emission spectrum shows the relatively higher emission intensity of oxygen particles than those of helium and nitrogen.

GaN nanowires has much interest as one-dimensional materials for blue light LED. GaN-based materials have been the subject of intensive research for blue light emission and high temperature/high power electronic devices. In this letter, the synthesis of GaN nanowires by the reaction of mixture of GaN nanowires by the reaction of mixture of Ga meta and GaN powder with NH$_3$ using thermal chemical vapor deposition is reported. X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy indicate that those GaN nanowires with hexagonal wurtzite structure were about 60nm in diameter and up to several hundreds of micrometers in length.

Blue light-emitting polyfluorene derivatives, poly[9,9-bis(4'-n-octyloxyphenyl) fluorene] (PBOPF), poly[9,9-bis(2'-ethylhexyl)]fluorene (PBEHF) and copolymers of PBOPF and PBEHF were synthesized through Ni(0) mediated polymerization and their light-emitting properties were investigated. The PBEHF thin film showed significant excimer band in PL spectra after thermal annealing at 100 $^{\circ}C$ for 2h. But no significant excimer emission was observed in the PL spectra of the PBOPF and the copolymers even after thermal annealing suggesting that BOPF unit effectively suppressed the excimer emission.

The one-dimensional ZnO nanostructures prepared through thermal evaporation under various cooling down procedures by changing the flow rates of the carrier gas and the reactive gas were investigated. The nanorod structures were changed into the nanonail types with a broad head through the reduction of the flow rate of the carrier gas. The decrease of the reactive gas reduced the length of the nail heads due to the limited mass transport of reactive gas. The intensity ratio of the ultraviolet emission/green emission of photoluminescence was proportional to the length of the broad head showing a larger surface area. The vertically aligned nanostructures were grown along the [0001] direction of ZnO regardless of the aligned directions. The crystal direction of the nanostructures was determined by that of the initial ZnO crystal.

SPATE(Stress Pattern Analysis by Thermal Emission) can be effectively used to analyze the stress distribution of the orthotropic structure under the repeated load by non-contact. In this research, the measuring conception and method of stress intensity factor of orthotropic material using SPATE are suggested. The relationships between the maximum values of SPATE signal and $1/\sqrt{X'}$ (or $1/\sqrt{y'}$) are theoretically established in the vicinity of crack tip of the orthotropic material. It is certified through SPATE experiment that their linear quality is very excellent.

Fiber composite materials are widely used in aerospace industries due to their high specific strength and stiffness. Especially, the increasing use of polymer composite materials for injection of automobile components has led to a considerable interest in the application of stress pattern analysis by thermal emission to these composite materials. Therefore, in this study the microstructure of glass fiber orientation at the parent and weld line of polycarbonate is observed by a light transmission. And we also investigate a stress concentration model of a notch including short glass fibers. Especially the polymer injection weld reorients the fiber to suggest a new method for the evaluation of inhomogeneous deformation.

The conduction mechanisms of the off-current in low temperature ($\leq$600$^{\circ}C$) processed polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors (LTP poly-Si TFT's) has been systematically studied. Especially, the temperature and bias dependence of the off-current between unpassivated and passivated poly-Si TFT's was investigated and compared. The off-current of unpassivated poly-Si TFT's is due to a resistive current at low gate and drain voltage, thermal emission current at high gate, low drain voltage, and field enhanced thermal emission current in the depletion region near the drain at high gate and drain voltage. After hydrogenation, it was observed that the off-currents were remarkably reduced by plasma-hydrogenation. It was also observed that the off-currents of the passivated poly-Si TFT's are more critically dependent on temperature rather than electric field.

Noble diamine monomers containing thiophene moiety were prepared, such as 2,5'''-diamino-2, 2':5', 2'':5'', 2'''-quaterthiophene (4TDA) and 2, 5'''''-diamino-3'', 4'''-dihexyl-2,2':5', 2'':5'', 2''':5''', 2'''':5'''', 2'''''-sexithiophene (6TDA). Then, these monomers were utilized to prepare polyimides with 3,6-diphenylpromellitic dianhydride (DPPMDA), 3,6-di(4'-trifluoro-methylphenyl) pyromellitic dianhydride (6FPMDA) or 3,6-di(3',5'-bis (trifluoromethyl)phenyl) pyromellitic dianhydride (12FPMDA) via a conventional two-step process. The polyimides were characterized by FT-IR, TGA and DSC, and then subjected CV, UV-vis and PL measurements. The polyimides containing thiophene moiety exhibited high glass transition temperatures ($280{\sim}310^{\circ}C$) and excellent thermal stability (> $420^{\circ}C$) in air as well as green emission (535~586 nm).

Larva-like GaS nanostructures synthesized by the thermal evaporation of Ga metals and S powders were coated with $SiO_2$ by the sputtering technique. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that the cores and shells of the GaS-core/$SiO_2$-shell larva-like nanostructures were single crystal wurtzite-type hexagonal structured-GaS and amorphous $SiO_2$, respectively. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements at room temperature showed that the passivation of the larva-like GaS nanostructures was successfully achieved with $SiO_2$ without nearly harming the major emission from the wires. However, subsequent thermal annealing treatment was found to be undesirable owing to the degradation of their emission in intensity.
