Principles of electron diffraction patterns in transmission electron microscope are described for beginners in terms of reciprocal lattices and Ewald sphere. Analysis of both ring patterns and spot patterns are illustrated with practical examples as well as basic calibrations of TEM. Especially convergent beam electron diffraction method is emphasized for the determination of lattice parameters, microstrains, and thickness of thin foil followed by a review of microcomputer programs for the electron diffraction analyses explained in this paper.

Welding process of ultra thin stainless steel foil was investigated using a single mode Yb-fiber laser with a CW maximum output power 40W. In micro welding, critical power density for keyhole welding was 1 to 2 orders larger higher than in macro-welding due to larger thermal conduction, extremely high speed welding becomes possible.

Microstructural basis for the thermal degradation of electrodeposited black chrome "solar-L-foil" heated in air has been investigated using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction techniques and UV-VIS-NIR spectre-photometer. Experimental result, the change in the shape of the particle comprising the film from their initial needle like structure to a more spherical shape with an oxide after 1hr annealing at $600^{\circ}C$ has been observed. The effect is to degrade solar absorptance of the thin film.

A series of microcavity plasma devices having various electrode geometries were investigated for the display and lighting applications. Addressable, self-assembled Al/$Al_2O_3$ electrodes were fabricated in a thin, flexible single sheet of Al foil. And, enhanced luminance and efficient microplasmas are achieved by precise control of the cross-sectional geometry and surface morphology of the cavities within the microplasma devices. New microdischarge system fabricated in various substrates will be introduced.

전주는 표면코팅을 목적으로 하기보다 금속제품을 제조하기 위해 사용하는, 도금법과 유사한 기술이다. 다양한 조성의 Fe-Ni 합금들을 전주성형하여 극박형상으로 제조하였다. 2원계 Fe-Ni 합금의 결정립 크기는 10 nm 정도였으며 P 첨가에 의해 결정립 크기를 더욱 미세하게 할 수 있다. 전주한 2원계 Fe-Ni 합금들의 비저항은 전형적인 나노결정질 소재의 특성을 나타낸다.

In this paper, ZnO thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on $Al_2O_3$ (alumina) at room temperature in various $O_2$ ambient. Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) has been performed at temperatures from $400^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$. The effects of temperature and ambient on the structural property of ZnO films were examined by x-ray diffractometer (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The results show that the (002)-oriented ZnO thin films on non-single crystal alumina were obtained in over 30mTorr ambient at all RTA temperatures including room temperature. The foil-width half maximum (FWHM) of (002) peak decreases as the RTA temperature increases, which indicates that ZnO thin films with RTA have improved crystalline quality.

ZnO thin films were deposited on $Al_2O_3$ (alumina) substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) using Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 355nm, at room temperature and oxygen partial pressure of 1, 10, 30, 50, 100, and 200m Torr. Furthermore, deposited ZnO thin films were post-annealed at 400, 550, $600^{\circ}C$. The effects of oxygen partial pressure and post-annealing temperature on structural properties of the deposited films have been investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), and atomic force microscope (AFM), respectively. It has been found that ZnO thin films exhibit c-axis orientation, exhibiting an increased foil width at half maximum (FWHM) value of (002) diffraction peak at 30m Torr oxygen partial pressure and higher post-annealing temperature ($700^{\circ}C$).

In order to improve the response time of nelltron theromopile for reactor control a neutron thermopile made use of a vacuunl evaporated thin film thor mocouple was fablicated and tested. The test results were compared with a wire-type neutron thermopile. Good linearities between the response of the neutron thermopile and the thermal flux has been shown in the ranges from n/$\textrm{cm}^2$/sec. Thermal neutron flux distributions in the core of TRIGA Mark-II reactor were measured using the fabricated neutron thermopile, and the results were conpared with data obtained by the acrivatin foil measurement.

플렉서블 태양전지용 연성기판재에는 플라스틱재와 금속재가 있다. 기존의 연성기판인 플라스틱의 경우 열과, 내구성, 화학약품에 약하다는 단점이 있으며, 금속기판은 높은 생산원가, 박판화의 어려움 등의 문제를 안고 있다. 일반적으로 기판재와 cell을 구성하는 반도체 층의 열팽창 거동 차이에 의한 열 변형이 태양전지의 공정안정성에 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있으며, cell을 구성하는 반도체 층과 열팽창 거동이 유사한 금속기판재의 적용이 필요하다. Si 박막 태양전지의 경우 Si 열팽창 거동과 비슷한 특성을 갖는 기판재의 개발이 필요하다. 전주법을 적용하여 조성이 다른 Ni계 합금의 열팽창 거동을 TMA 장비를 사용하여 측정하였다. 그리고 전산해석 Tool을 활용하여 가상의 Si 박막 태양전지 제조공정을 설정하고 고온 공정온도에서 상온으로 냉각시 발생되는 층간 열변형 연구를 수행하였고 열팽창 거동이 다른 합금 상에 Si층을 증착하여 열 충격에 의한 결함 발생여부를 관찰하였다.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful tool for analyzing a broad range of materials and provides localized information about the microstructure. However, the analysis results are strongly influenced by the quality of the thin foil specimen. Sample preparation for TEM analysis requires considerable skill, especially when the area of interest is small or the material of interest is difficult to thin because of its high hardness and its mechanical instability when thinned. This article selectively reviews recent advances in TEM sample preparation techniques using a tripod polisher. In particular, it introduces two typical types (fl at type and wedge type) of TEM sample preparation and the benefits and drawbacks of each method; finally, a method of making better samples for TEM analysis is suggested.
