The two-dimensional deformation of a homogeneous, isotropic thermoelastic half-space with voids with variable modulus of elasticity and thermal conductivity subjected to thermomechanical boundary conditions has been investigated. The formulation is applied to the coupled theory(CT) as well as generalized theories: Lord and Shulman theory with one relaxation time(LS), Green and Lindsay theory with two relaxation times(GL) Chandrasekharaiah and Tzou theory with dual phase lag(C-T) of thermoelasticity. The Laplace and Fourier transforms techniques are used to solve the problem. As an application, concentrated/uniformly distributed mechanical or thermal sources have been considered to illustrate the utility of the approach. The integral transforms have been inverted by using a numerical inversion technique to obtain the components of displacement, stress, changes in volume fraction field and temperature distribution in the physical domain. The effect of dependence of modulus of elasticity on the components of stress, changes in volume fraction field and temperature distribution are illustrated graphically for a specific model. Different special cases are also deduced.

Recently, dense sensor instrumentation for structural health monitoring has motivated the need for novel passive wireless sensors that do not require a portable power source, such as batteries. Using a layer-by-layer self-assembly process, nano-structured multifunctional carbon nanotube-based thin film sensors of controlled morphology are fabricated. Through judicious selection of polyelectrolytic constituents, specific sensing transduction mechanisms can be encoded within these homogenous thin films. In this study, the thin films are specifically designed to change electrical properties to strain and pH stimulus. Validation of wireless communications is performed using traditional magnetic coil antennas of various turns for passive RFID (radio frequency identification) applications. Preliminary experimental results shown in this study have identified characteristic frequency and bandwidth changes in tandem with varying strain and pH, respectively. Finally, ongoing research is presented on the use of gold nanocolloids and carbon nanotubes during layer-by-layer assembly to fabricate highly conductive coil antennas for wireless communications.

As silicon devices shrink and their density increases, the low dielectric constant materials instead of $SiO_2$ film is required. SiOC film as low-k films was deposited by the capacitively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition and then annealed at $300{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ to find out the properties of the dependence on the temperature and polarity. This study researched the dielectric constant using by the structure of the metal/SiOC film/p-Si, chemical shift, thickness, refractive index and hardness. The trend of reflective index was inverse proportioned the thickness, but the dielectric constant was proportioned it. The dielectric constant decreased with decreasing the thickness and the increment of the refractive index.

The structural changes of molecules on the water surface were measured by displacement currents and $\pi$-A isotherm. By using a theoretical equations we calculated charges($\Delta$Q) and dipole moment( $m_{z}$) of saturated fatty acids( $C_{12}$, $C_{14}$, $C_{16}$). The dynamic behavior of saturated fatty acid monolayers at the air/water interface was investigated using a displacement current-measuring technique coupled with the so called Langmuir film technique and also the dipole moment of the acids was determined.as determined.d.

Plasma polymerized hexamethyldisiloxane (PPHMDSO) thin films were produced using an electrode capacitively coupled apparatus. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis indicated that the thin film spectra are composed not only of the corresponding monomer bands but also of several new bands. Auger electron spectroscopy analysis indicated that the permeation depth of aluminum into the films is ca. 30nm when top electrode is deposited by evaporation aluminum. The increase of relative dielectric constant and decrease of dielectric loss tangent with the discharge power is originated from high cross-link of the films.

Plasma polymerized hexamethyldisiloxane thin film was fabricated by employing an inter-electrode capacitively coupled type apparatus under the following conditions : carrier gas flow rate of 11 sccm, reaction pressure of 0.1 torr, discharge frequency of 13.56 MHz and discharge power of 30∼90 W. Polymerization rate of thin film fabricated at the discharge power of 90W is 32.5nm/min. Relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent of thin film shows 3.2∼3.8 and 2.6x10$\^$-3/∼4.51x10$\^$-3/ respectively in the frequency range of 1 kHz∼1 MHz. As the annealing temperature is increased, the relative dielectric constant gradually decreases while the dielectric loss tangent increases. The current density increase gradually with increasing annealing temperature and electric field. The electric conduction of the heaxamethyldisiloxane thin film shows Schottky effect.

We investigated the properties of a hybrid type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), which consists of a transformer with multiple secondary windings and resistive $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$ (YBCO) thin film stripes. The secondary windings of the transformer were coupled with each other, and a superconducting current limiting unit of YBCO stripes was connected to each of them as a switch. Simple connection in series of SFCL units tends to produce imbalance in power among the units due to slight differences in quench current. In current design, magnetic coupling between the SFCL units provides a solution to power dissipation imbalance, inducing simultaneous quench by current redistribution in the YBCO films.

(Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ thin films were etched with $Cl_2$/Ar gas mixing ratio in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) by varying the etching parameter such as f power, do bias voltage, and chamber pressure. The etch rate was $560{\AA}/min$ under Cl_2/(Cl_2+Ar)$ gas mixing ratio of 0.2, rf power of 600 W, do bias voltage of 250 V, and chamber pressure of 5 mTorr, At this time, the selectivity of BST to Pt, $SiO_2$ was respectively 0.52, 0.43. The surface reaction of the etched (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ thin films was investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Water-soluble, chiral conducting, poly(diphenylamine) (PDPA) nanocomposites were synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization of diphenylamine in the presence of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) as a template and camphor sulphonic acid (CSA) as the chiral inductor, Composites were formed as stable aqueous dispersions under different experimental conditions, such as DPA to PAA molar ratios, PAA molecular weight, etc. Circular dichroism(CD) spectra of the composites indicated the induction of chirality to PDPA. Compared to simple chiral PANI, the PDPA/PAA/CSA nanocomposites showed a different Cotton effect. The appearance of a CD band in the composite was complimentary to the bisignate, exciton-coupled band in the UV-Visible spectrum. FTIR spectra indicated the intimate mixing of PDPA and PAA.

Characteristic properties of fluorescent lamps operated by capacitively-coupled external electrodes have been investigated. External electrode fluorescent lamps(EEFLs) are typically operated at low currents less than 10 mA, and high voltages of about 1.5 kV. Luminance of up to 20,000 cd/$\textrm m^2$ with efficiency of above 40 lm/W is achieved in EEFLs driven by square pulses of the frequency lower than 100 kHz. It is also found that the brightness and efficiency of external electrode fluorescent lamps depend on the electrode length whose optimum length is about 3 cm.
