Sintered LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si thermoluminescence (TL) pellets were developed for application in radiation dosimetry. In the present study, the TL dosimetric properties of LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si TL pellets have been investigated for emission spectrum, dose response, energy response, and fading characteristics. LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si TL pellets were made by using a sintering process, that is, pressing and heat treatment from TL powders. Photon irradiations for the experiments were carried out using X-ray beams and a $^{137}Cs$ gamma source at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). The average energies and the dose were in the range of 20-662 keV and $10^{-6}-10^{-2}\;Gy$, respectively. The glow curves were measured with a manual type TLD reader(System 310, Teledyne) at a constant nitrogen flux and a linear heating rate. For a constant heating rate of $5^{\circ}C\;s^{-1}$, the main dosimetric peak of glow curve appeared at $234^{\circ}C$, the activation energy was 2.34 eV and frequency factor was $1.00{\times}10^{23}$. TL emission spectrum is appeared at the blue region centered at 410 nm. A linearity of photon dose response was maintained up to 100 Gy. The photon energy responses relative to $^{137}Cs$ response were within ${\pm}20%$ at overall photon energy region. The fading of TL sensitivity of the pellets stored at the room temperature was not found for one year.

The rail wear measurements in urban underground railway have been analyzed to predict the particulate matter emission caused by rail wear which is one of the major sources of particulate matter emission for underground railway systems. From the rail profile variations measured in the interval of one and half year by dedicated rail wear measuring instrument over the commercial urban underground railway line, 'line-s' which is about 45km long, the characteristics as well as the amount of rail wear have been analyzed after dividing the whole line into about 170 section with radius of curve(R). It has been concluded that the vertical wear parameter V0 and corner wear parameter C0 have been selected to represent the wear amount of straight and curved rail respectively. The amount of rail wear as well as the particulate matter emission by rail wear over the whole line normalized by the rail length as well as the number of train has also been deduced from the relationship between the rail wear parameters and the amount of rail cross-section area.

The four-layered(metal/insulator/n epi-layer/p+) controlled inversion devices have been fabricated. The I-V curve showed two characteristic states―an On state and an OFF state which were separated by a negative resistance region. The switching voltage and the holding voltage were about 5.0V and 2.5V, respectively. The switching voltage of the device was decreased by photo illumination while the holding voltage remained unaffected.

(La,Sr)CoO3/Pb(Zr,Ti)O3/(La,Sr)CoO3 (LSCO) heterostructures have been grown on LaAlO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to investigate asymmetric polarization of Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) thin flims with different electrode configuration. P-V hysteresis loop of LSCO/PZT/LSCO was symmetric. However, LaCoO3 (LCO_/PZT/LSCO showed a largely asymmetric P-V hystersis loop and large relaxation of the remanent polarization at the negatively poled state, which means that the negatively poled state was unstable. On the other hand, LSCO/PZT/LCO exhibited large relaxation of the positively poled state. The asymmetric behavior of the polarized states implies the presence of an interal electric firld inside the PZT layer. It is suggested that internal electric field is caused by built-in voltages at LCO/PZT and LSCO/PZT interfaces. The built-in voltages at LCO/PZT and CSCO/PZT interfaces were 0.6 V and -0.12 V, respectively.

In recent years, nano-structured thin film systems are often applied in industries such as MEMS/NEMS device, optical coating, semiconductor or like this. Thin films are used for many and varied purpose to provide resistance to abrasion, erosion, corrosion, or high temperature oxidation and also to provide special magnetic or dielectric properties. Quite a number of articles to evaluate the characterization of thin film structure such as film density, film grain size, film elastic properties, and film/substrate interface condition were reported. Among them, the evaluation of film adhesive to substrate has been of great interest. In this study, we fabricated the polymeric thin film system with different adhesive conditions to evaluate the adhesive condition of the thin film. The nano-structured thin film system was fabricated by spin coating method. And then V(z) curve technique was applied to evaluate adhesive condition of the interface by measuring the surface acoustic wave(SAW) velocity by scanning acoustic microscope(SAM). Furthermore, a nano-scratch technique was applied to the systems to obtain correlations between the velocity of the SAW propagating within the system including the interface and the shear adhesive force. The results show a good correlation between the SAW velocities measured by acoustic spectroscope and the critical load measured by the nano-scratch test. Consequently, V(z) curve method showed potentials for characterizing the adhesive conditions at the interface by acoustic microscope.

We present VRI CCD photometry of W UMa type binary TY UMa. The light curves show that the secondary minimum is deeper than the primary minimum and the maximum I ($0.^{p}25$)is $0.^{m}023$ brighter than the maximum II ($0.^{p}75$). The V light curve has been analyzed and the photometric solutions have been determined by the method of Wilson & Devinney differential correction. We adopted the spot model to explain the asymetric light curve.

UBV light curves of an early type close binary AQ Cas are made with the observations obtained at Yonsei University from 1982 to 1989. Light losses in U are shown at the phase around 0.55 and 0.90 which might be produced by the stream of mass transfer. Four times of minimum light derived from our observations. With the collected minima including ours, new light elements are determined. Phtometric solution with B and V light curves is made by using Wilson-Devinney codes.

The BVR CCD full light curves of ZZ Aur were obtained as one of the near-contact binary observing programs at the Sobaek Mt. Observatory during Feb. 2000 - Feb. 2001. From the present observations, three primary and seven secondary times of minimum light were obtained. The photometric solutions have been found using the Wilson and Divenny model.

플라즈마 이온주입장치는 수십 kV의 음전압 펄스를 타겟에 인가하여 플라즈마 쉬스 전위에 의해 이온을 가속시켜 다차원 형태의 타겟 표면의 내마모성, 강도 및 경도를 쉽고 간단하게 증가시킬 수 있는 신기술 장비이다. 이때 인가되는 음전압 펄스는 펄스회로가 갖는 RC로 인하여 고유한 유한 오름시간의 음전압 펄스가 타겟에 인가되고 펄스 특성에 따라 타겟 주변에 시변환 쉬스가 형성되는데 시변환 쉬스에 대한 정확한 이해를 통해서 시편에 주입되는 이온의 양을 예측할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 유도 결합형 플라즈마를 이용한 플라즈마 이온주입장치에서 평면 타겟 경우의 펄스 오름시간, 유지시간 및 내림시간 동안에 형성되는 쉬스의 거동 및 타겟의 크기가 쉬스에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 관찰하고 이론결과와 비교하였다. 기존의 실험에서 펄스 유지시간 이후의 탐침전류 곡선에서 쉬스의 거동처럼 보였던 현상은 ion acoustic wave의 진행으로 보이며 위치에 따른 탐침 전류 곡선의 정확한 해석을 통하여 실제 플라즈마 이온주입장치내에서의 쉬스의 거동을 관찰할 수 있었다.

This paper is dealing with speed control of Darrieus Wind Turbine, which can be figured out from torque equation. The operating point of Darrieus Wind Turbine can be found from speed-torque curve, which is either stable or instable. The transfer of operating point due to variation of wind speed and generating power is shown in this paper.
