The tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) of a ramp-edge type junction has been studied. The samples with a structure of NiO(60)/Co(10)/NiO(60)/Si$_3$N$_4$(2-6)/NiFe(10) (nm) were prepared by the sputtering and etched by the electron cyclotron (ECR) argon ion milling. Nonlinear I-V characteristics was obtained from a ramp-type tunneling junctions having the dominant difference between zero and ＋90 Oe perpendicular to the junction edge line. The voltage dependence of TMR was stable up to a bias volt of $\pm$10 V with a TMR ratio of about -10%, which may be very peculiar magnetic tunneling properties with asymmetric tunneling process between wedge Co pinned layer and NiFe free layer.

The change of electronic absorption spectra of the fullerene $C_{60}$ in the visibJe- near UV range was examined when the molecules aggregated into different clusters such as clusters in solution and clusters in thin films. Absorption peaks were observed at 2.73 eV. These peaks did probably not come from the feature of the isolated molecules but from the direct interaction of the molecules. Absorption peaks were also observed at 3.35 eV from grained fullerene films. We think these peaks came from the interaction of the molecules at interfaces of grains. Dichroism of this absorption was also found from samples with anisotropic macrostructures.

In this study, the activity test and characterization were performed to evaluate the hydrogen sulfide removal characteristics using a V/TiO₂ catalyst at room temperature. The optimal vanadium loading was 10 wt%, and the durability was greater than 60 minutes at 60~80% relative humidity. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and raman spectroscopy results confirmed that the structure of the vanadium site exposed to the surface was a dominant factor in catalyst activity. From Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray crystallography (XRD) analyses, it was found that sulfur can be accumulated on the catalyst surface, which results in a decrease in durability under catalytic activity tests. Therefore, it is judged that a combined process of catalytic oxidation and regeneration is needed.

The susceptibility of SCC for the weldment and PWHT specimens of HT-60 steel was evaluated using a slow strain rate method under applied potential by means of the potentiostat in synthetic seawater. In case of the parent, anodic polarization voltage was inappropriate in elongating the time to failure(TTF). -0.8V corresponding to cathodic protection range is most effective in improving the SCC resistance against corrosive environment. In case of the weldment, the values of reduction of area(ROA) and TTF at -0.68V corresponding to cathodic polarization value were 45.2% and 715,809sec which were the largest and longest life among other applied potentials. Those were vise versa at -1.1V. In case of the PWHT specimens, TTF and ROA at -0.68V was longest and largest like the weldment. Besides, PWHT is effective in prolonging the time to failure of the welded off-shore structure due to softening of effect. Regardless of the weldment and PWHT specimen, as corrosion rate gets higher, TTF becomes shorter and deformation behaviour for the weldment and PWHT specimen at -1.1V was shown to be irregular. Finally, it was found that specimens showed brittle fracture at -1.1V, but more ductile fracture accompanying the micro-cracks at applied potential of -0.68V.

최근 우리나라에서는 대형 화재사고가 빈번히 발생함에 따라 그로 인한 재산 및 인명피해가 날로 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 건축물 내에서 화재가 발생할 경우 인명피해를 최소화하기 위하여 피난유도설비의 설치를 의무화하고 있다. 지금까지 일반적으로 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 피난유도설비로는 유도등이 있으며, 최근 들어 피난유도선의 설치도 다중이용업소를 중심으로 점차 확대되어가고 있는 추세이다. 피난유도설비는 평상시 이용되는 교류 상용전원에 의해서뿐만 아니라 비상시 이용되는 직류 비상전원에 의해서도 정상적으로 작동되어야 하기 때문에, 피난유도설비의 전원장치는 주어진 전원으로부터 주어지는 교류 또는 직류를 발광부에 맞게 일정한 전압과 주파수로 변환시켜주어야 한다. 실제로 LED(발광다이오드) 유도등은 상용전원으로부터 220V의 교류를 받아서 전원장치에서 정류변환을 통해 얻어지는 낮은 전압 24V의 직류를 이용하며, 대부분의 유도등 백라이트로 사용되고 있는 CCFL(냉음극형광램프)에는 상용전원으로부터 220V, 60Hz 교류를 인가받아 전원장치에서 정류 역변환을 통해 만들어진 100kHz의 고주파 교류가 공급된다. 더욱이 유도선의 전원장치에서는 상용전원 220V, 60Hz의 교류를 인가받아 정류 역변환 및 교류변환 과정을 차례로 거쳐 최종적으로 100V, 400Hz의 교류로 전환하여 TFEL(박막전계발광) 소자로 전송하게 된다. 한편, 상용전원이 차단된 상태에서도 전원장치는 마찬가지로 비상전원으로부터 24V의 직류를 공급받아 인버터를 통해 역변환 하여 100kHz의 고주파 교류를 만들어 주거나 추가적인 교류변환을 거쳐 100V, 400Hz의 교류로 변환시켜 내보낸다. 본 연구에서는 상대적으로 복잡한 전력변환 회로들을 포함하고 있는 유도선의 전원장치를 개선하여, 전원장치의 연결가능길이를 기존의 60m에서 최대 100m까지 연장시킴으로써, 터널이나 지하도와 같은 곳에서 특히 경쟁력을 갖게 될 것으로 기대된다.

The optimum etching condition of allyl diglycol carbonate (CR-39) for detecting the 60 MeV N-ions was determined as $70^{\circ}C$, 20% NaOH for 130min, by considering the variations of track density and diameter. Under these conditions, the maximum detectable track density was $1.7{\times}10^7tr/cm^2$. Track densities were linearly increased with increase of the total charge of the incident 60 MeV N-ions. By considering the scattring of N-ions as the Rutherford elastic scattering of point source, the measured relative probability was well consistent with the calculated value. The detection efficiency of CR-39 was in the range of 54-41% for 60 MeV N-ions of 12 nC-100 nC.

Electrical properties and thermal annealing effects of $C_{22}$-quinolium(TCNQ) Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films were studied. Typical current-voltage(I-V) characteristics along the perpendicular direction chow an anomalous behavior of breakdown near the electric-field strength of $10^{6}$V/cm. To see the thermal influence of the specimen, current was measured as a function of temperature(20∼$180^{\circ}C$). It shows that the current increases about 4 orders of magnitude near 60∼$70^{\circ}C$ and remains constant far a while up to ∼$150^{\circ}C$ and then suddenly drops. Such increase of current near 60∼$70^{\circ}C$ seems tn be related to a softness of alkyl chains. Besides the electrical measurements, UV/visible absorption(300∼800 nm) of the thermally annealed sample was measured to see the internal-structure change. It is found that there are four characteristic peaks. At 494 nm, the optical absorption of the thermally annealed specimen at $60^{\circ}C$ starts increase and stays almost constant upto∼ $140^{\circ}C$. And eventually it disappears above $180^{\circ}C$. After heat treatment of the specimen up to $150^{\circ}C$, Uv/visible absorption was measured while cooling.

DC-DC converter which composed of LLC resonant converter, operated by fixed switching frequency with fixed duty cycle (50%), and flyback converter to provide constant output voltage($400V_{DC}$) with variation of input voltage($30-60V_{DC}$) is proposed in this paper. To obtain constant output voltage($400V_{DC}$), flyback converter is not operated in case of above the maximum input voltage($60V_{DC}$) and operated as the input voltage decreases to below 60VDC. Therefore, flyback converter can be designed to the 50% power rating of the maximum power in the proposed DC-DC converter. Operation modes and voltage gain characteristics were analyzed and a 360W prototype converter was tested to verify the proposed converter.

Optimal extraction conditions such as pressures, temperatures, and modifiers on glycyrrhizin extraction from licorice were investigated using supercritical $CO_2\;(SC-CO_2)$ at 3 mL/min flow rate. Morphology of licorice tissue, after glycyrrhizin extraction, was examined by SEM, and absolute density ($g/cm^3$) measurement and glycyrrhizin content were determined by HPLC. Pure $SC-CO_2$ had no effect on glycyrrhizin extraction, but recovery of glycyrrhizin ($32.66{\pm}0.77%$) was enhanced when water was used as modifier. The highest recovery was $97.22{\pm}2.17%$ when 70% (v/v) aqueous methanol was added to 15% (v/v) $SC-CO_2$ at 50 MPa and $60^{\circ}C$. Under optimal extraction conditions, 30 MPa pressure and $60^{\circ}C$ heating temperature, glycyrrhizin recovery reached maximum ($102.67{\pm}1.13%$) within 60 min. Licorice tissue was severely damaged by excessive swelling, and absolute density of licorice residues was highest when aqueous methanol was used as a modifier.

The investigations were discussed on the radiation effects of the electrical properties to the p-type MOS capacitors, which were irradiated by cobalt-60 gamma ray sources. The characteristics of capacitance-bias voltage(C-V) and of dielectric dissipation tarter-bias voltage(D-V) on the capacitors were measured at 1 [MHz] frequency. The microscopic behaviors of spate charges in oxide and silicon-silicon dioxide(Si- $SiO_2$) interface were investigated from the experimental data. The C-V characteristics are statical and convenient for the evaluation of the steady state behavior of carriers and interface states characteristics. While, the distribution and magnitude of space charges in oxide can be found out accurately on the $V_{dp}$ in D-V curves. The density of interface states can be deduced with ease from the magnitude of D-peak at depletion state. Thus, it is also concluded that the D-V curves are more useful and easier than conventional C-V curves for analysis of the microscopic and dynamic behavior of carriers in oxide and Si- $SiO_2$interface.
