The frost penetration depth of pavement is usually estimated from the freezing index that made temperature data analysis of 30 years and decided the thickness of anti-frost layer. The field monitoring region in study was divided into five regions by freezing index 550~650$^{\circ}C{\cdot}$day, 450~550$^{\circ}C{\cdot}$day and 350~450$^{\circ}C{\cdot}$day. Each region has three-section of road pavement such as cutting area, boundary area of cutting and banking, and lower area of banking. The field monitoring system was established both in the section of anti-frost layer and in the section without anti-frost layer. The data analysis was conducted for determination of frost penetration depth within the paved road by the field monitoring system. The result showed that The temperature of subgrade without anti-frost layer shows below zero in centigrade for the region of freezing index 550~650$^{\circ}C{\cdot}$day, up and down around zero degree in subgrade for the region of freezing index 450~550$^{\circ}C{\cdot}$day, and there is no place existed below zero degree in subgrade for the region of freezing index below 450$^{\circ}C{\cdot}$day. With comparison of field frost penetration depth for the cross-sections of pavement, the cutting area shows the greatest frost penetration depth, and less influence of frost penetration depth for the boundary area of cutting and banking, and the least influenced for the lower area of banking.

The cooling effect of paddy fields was compared with those of other land-use areas (upland, urban park, and urban residential area) during midsummer. The temperature were monitored using data logger at one hour intervals in study sites. Diurnal temperature range of study areas in clear days was larger than in cloudy days. Also, diurnal temperature ranges in paddy field, upland, and park areas were larger than those in the urban residential area during clear days. The paddy field or upland area has shown more remarkable cooling effect compared to urban residential areas: Mean duration of temperature below $25^{\circ}C$ in the paddy field area is longer(7 to 8 hours) than in the residential area; The time to fall to below $25^{\circ}C$ in the paddy field area is sooner than in the residential area; Mean daily minimum temperature in the paddy field area is much lower than in the residential area.

Using Platinum-silicide (PtSi) formed between silicon substrate and carbon film, we have improved the field emission of electrons from carbon films. Pt films were deposited on n-Si(100) substrates at room temperature by DC sputter technique. After deposition, these PtSi thin films were annealed at 400 ~ $600^{\circ}C$ in a vacuum chamber, and the carbon films were deposited on those Pt/Si substrates by laser ablation at room temperature. The field emission property of C/Pt/Si system is found to be better than that of C/Si system and it is showed that property was improved with increasing annealing temperature. The reasons why the field emission from carbon film was improved can be considered as follows, (1)the resistance of carbon films was decreased due to graphitization, (2)electric field concentration effectively occurred because the surface morphology of carbon film deposited on Pt/si substrates with rough surface, (3)it is showed that annealing induced reaction between Pt film and Si substrate, as a consequence that the interfacial resistance between Pt film and Si substrate was decreased.

The crystallization behavior of amorphous silicon (a-Si) film was investigated by using Cu-field aided lateral crystallization (Cu-FALC) process below $450^{\circ}C$. The lateral crystallization was induced from the Cu deposited region outside of pattern toward the Cu-free region inside of the pattern by applying an electric field during heat treatment. As expected, the lateral crystallization toward Cu-free region proceeded from negative toward positive electrode side. The occurrence of Cu-FALC phenomenon was interpreted in terms of dominant diffusing species in the reaction between Cu and Si. Even at the annealing temperature of $350^{\circ}C$, the large dendrite-shaped branches were formed in the crystallized region and the polarity in the lateral crystallization was clearly observed. Consequently, we could successfully crystallize the a-Si at the temperature as low as $350^{\circ}C$ by an electric field of 30 V/cm with fast crystallization velocity of 12 $\mu$m/h.

Critical current of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coil is influenced by its own self magnetic field. Direction and density distribution of the magnetic field around the coil are fixed after the shape of the coil is decided. If the entire part of the HTS tape has homogeneous $I_c$ distribution characteristic, quench would be initiated in fixed location on the coil. However, the actual HTS tape has inhomogeneous $I_c$ distribution along the length. If the $I_c$ distribution of the HTS tape is known, we can expect the spot within the HTS coil that has the highest probability to initiate the quench. In this paper, $I_c$ distribution within the HTS coil under self-field effect is simulated by MATLAB. In the simulation procedure, $I_c$ distribution of the entire part of the HTS tape is assume d to follow Gaussian-distribution by central limit theorem. The HTS coil model is divided into several segments, and the critical current of each segment is calculated based on the-generalized Kim model. Single pancake model is simulated and self-field of HTS coil is calculated by Biot-Savart's law. As a result of simulation, quench-initiating spot in the actual HTS coil can be predicted statistically. And that statistical analysis can help detect or protect the quench of the HTS coil.

ECR(Electron Cyclotron Resonance) occure at ${\omega}_c$=${\omega}$, ${\omega}_c$:electron cycltron frequency, ${\omega}$:electromagnetic wave frequency. ECR system have several merit, 1) power transefer efficiency 2) low neutral gas pressure (below 1 mTorr) 3) high plasma density($10^{12}$ $cm^{-3}$). It is applicated variously in the field of semiconductor and new materials as the manufacturing equipment. Magnetic field in ECR system contruct resonance layer (${\omega}$=2.45GHz, $B_z$=875 Gauss) and control plasma. Plasma is almost generated at resonance layer. If the distance between substrate and resonance layer is short, uniformity of plasma is related with profile of resonance layer. Plasma have the property "Cold in Field", so directonality of magnetic field is one of the control factors of anisotropic etching. In this study, we calculate B field and flux line distribution, optimize geometry and submagnet current and improve of magnetic field directionality (99.9%) near substrate. For the purpose of calculation, vector potential A(r,z) and magnetic field B(r,z), green function and numerical integration is used. Object function for submagnet optimization is magnetic field directionality on the substrate and Powell method is used as optimization skim.

Nb silicide was formed on the Si micro-tip arrays in order to improve field emission properties of Si-tip field emitter array. After silicidization of the tips, the etch-back process, by which gate insulator, gate electrode and photoresist were deposited sequentially and gate holes were defined by removing gradually the photoresist by $O_2$ plasma from the surface, was applied. Si nitride film was used as a protective layer in order to prevent oxygen from diffusion into Nb silicide layer and it was identified that the NbSi2 was formed through annealing in $N_2$ ambient at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. By the Nb silicide coating on Si tips, the turn-on voltage was decreased from 52.1 V to 32.3 V and average current fluctuation for 1 hour was also reduced from 5% to 2%. Also, the fabricated Nb silicide-coated Si tip FEA emitted electrons toward the phosphor and light emission was obtained at the gate voltage of 40~50 V.

The objective of this study is experimentally to investigate natural convective heat transfer characteristics of the ferrofluid for a concentric annuli under rotating magnetic field with variations of the revolution and the magnetic field strength. The rotating magnetic field was provided by induction motor with 6 poles and 3 phases and the revolution and the magnetic field strength were controlled by an inverter driver and a voltage meter, respectively. Temperatures of the inner pipe and the outer pipe in the tested concentric annuli were maintained at $30^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively, during the test and the direction of the rotating magnetic field was a counterclockwise. As a result, the natural convective heat transfer characteristics of the ferrofluid for a concentric annuli were increased with the rise of the revolution and magnetic field strength due to the increased heat dissipation between hot side and cold side of the concentric annuli.

The magnetic field application effect on resistance of a high-$T_c$ superconducting (HTSC) element comprising a flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) was investigated. The YBCO thin film, which was etched into a meander line using a lithography, was used as a current limiting element of the flux-lock type SFCL. To increase the magnetic field applied into HTSC element, the capacitor was connected in series with a solenoid-type magnetic field coil installed in the third winding of the flux-lock type SFCL. There was no magnetic field application effect on the resistance of HTSC element despite the application of larger magnetic field into the HTSC element when a fault happened. The resistance of HTSC element, on the contrary, started to decrease at the point of four periods from a fault instant although the amplitude of the applied magnetic field increased.

Laboratory and field investigations of the coefficient of vertical and horizontal consolidation for Yangsan clay deposit were carried out using the conventional oedometer, Rowecell and piezocone test. Correlation among these test methods were also studied. In this paper, the relationship between vertical and horizontal consolidation were suggested such as C$\sub$h(Oed)/=0.75∼1.46 C$\sub$v(Oed)/, C$\sub$h(Rowecell) =1.95∼2.93 C$\sub$v(Oed)/, C$\sub$h(piezocone)/ =1.0∼5.0 C$\sub$v(Oed)/. As a result, a fair approximate estimations of C$\sub$h/ can be made by simple test using the conventional oedometer tests.
