원자력 발전소의 반응로에는 핵분열 에너지를 생성하고 방사성 물질의 유출을 막는 핵연료 집합체가 있으며, 이러한 집합체는 핵연료와 피복관으로 구성되어 있는 핵 연료봉으로 구성되어 있다. 원자로에서 핵연료봉 거동의 안전성을 평가하기 위해 해석적인 방법을 적용하며 이러한 평가 코드를 핵 연료 성능 코드라 한다. 경수로 핵연료 해석에서는 간극의 두께에 따라 열전도도가 크게 영향을 받는 간극 열전도도가 주요 거동해석에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 간극 두께에 따라 열전도도가 변화하는 3 차원 간극 요소(Gap element)를 제안하였으며, 이를 적용하기 위해 3 차원 열탄성 모듈을 FORTRAN90을 이용하여 개발하였다. 제안된 3 차원 간극 요소를 이용하여 핵 연료봉에서 발생할 수 있는 비대칭적인 형상인 핵 연료 표면에 결함이 생긴 경우 MPS(Missing Pellet Surface)와 핵연료봉의 편심(Eccentricity of the nuclear fuel rod) 형상에 대하여 3 차원 해석을 진행하였다.

Nickel Oxide (NiO) is a transition metal oxide of the rock salt structure that has a wide band gap of 3.5 eV. It has a variety of specialized applications due to its excellent chemical stability, optical, electrical and magnetic properties. In this study, we concentrated on the application of NiO thin film for transparent conducting oxide. The energy band structure, electronic and optical properties of Nickel Oxide (NiO) thin films grown on Si by using electron beam evaporation were investigated by X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Reflection Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (REELS), and UV-Spectrometer. The band gap of NiO thin films determined by REELS spectra was 3.53 eV for the primary energies of 1.5 keV. The valence-band offset (VBO) of NiO thin films investigated by XPS was 3.88 eV and the conduction-band offset (CBO) was 1.59 eV. The UV-spectra analysis showed that the optical transmittance of the NiO thin film was 84% in the visible light region within an error of ${\pm}1%$ and the optical band gap for indirect band gap was 3.53 eV which is well agreement with estimated by REELS. The dielectric function was determined using the REELS spectra in conjunction with the Quantitative Analysis of Electron Energy Loss Spectra (QUEELS)-${\varepsilon}({\kappa},{\omega})$-REELS software. The Energy Loss Function (ELF) appeared at 4.8, 8.2, 22.5, 38.6, and 67.0 eV. The results are in good agreement with the previous study [1]. The transmission coefficient of NiO thin films calculated by QUEELS-REELS was 85% in the visible region, we confirmed that the optical transmittance values obtained with UV-Spectrometer is the same as that of estimated from QUEELS-${\varepsilon}({\kappa},{\omega})$-REELS within uncertainty. The inelastic mean free path (IMFP) estimated from QUEELS-${\varepsilon}({\kappa},{\omega})$-REELS is consistent with the IMFP values determined by the Tanuma-Powell Penn (TPP2M) formula [2]. Our results showed that the IMFP of NiO thin films was increased with increasing primary energies. The quantitative analysis of REELS provides us with a straightforward way to determine the electronic and optical properties of transparent thin film materials.

Amorphous silicon alloy (a-Si) solar cells and modules have been receiving a great deal of attention as a low-cost alternate energy source for large-scale terrestrial applications. Key to the achievement of high-efficiency solar cells using the multi-junction approach is the development of high quality, low band-gap materials which can capture the low-energy photons of the solar spectrum. Several cell designs have been reported in the past where grading or buffer layers have been incorporated at the junction interface to reduce carrier recombination near the junction. We have investigated profiling the composition of the a-SiGe alloy throughout the bulk of the intrinsic material so as to have a built-in electrical field in a substantial portion of the intrinsic material. As a result, the band gap mismatch between a-Si:H and $a-Si_{1-x}Ge_x:H$ creates a barrier for carrier transport. Previous reports have proposed a graded band gap structure in the absorber layer not only effectively increases the short wavelength absorption near the p/i interface, but also enhances the hole transport near the i-n interface. Here, we modulated the GeH4 flow rate to control the band gap to be graded from 1.75 eV (a-Si:H) to 1.55 eV ($a-Si_{1-x}Ge_x:H$). The band structure in the absorber layer thus became like a U-shape in which the lowest band gap was located in the middle of the i-layer. Incorporation of this structure in the middle and top cell of the triple-cell configuration is expected to increase the conversion efficiency further.

국부적인 결정구조와 에너지 띠 간격 간 상관관계를 고찰하기 위하여 Nb를 포함하는 일련의 불소 산화물에 대하여 결정구조와 자외선-가시광선 확산 반사율 스펙트럼을 비교, 연구하였다. 이 실험에서 다룬 RbSrNb2O6F와 RbCaNb2O6F, RbNb2O5F는 공통적으로, 꼭지점 공유를 하고 있는 NbO5F 팔면체로 구성되어 있 다. 구조적 뒤틀림 정도의 척도로 볼 수 있는 Nb-O(F)-Nb 평균 결합각은 RbSrNb2O6F에서 158.6°, RbCaNb2O6F 에서 149.6° 그리고 RbNb2O5F에서 139.5o이다. 확산 반사율 스펙트럼으로부터 구한 에너지 띠 간격은 Nb-O(F)-Nb 결합각이 감소할수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 즉 RbSrNb2O6F, RbCaNb2O6F, RbNb2O5F 각각의 화합물에 대해 서 3.48 eV, 3.75 eV, 4.03 eV 의 값을 나타내었다. 이러한 실험적 결과는 Nb를 포함하는 불소 산화물에서 국 부구조의 변화를 통해 띠 간격을 약 0.6 eV의 범위에서 조절할 수 있음을 의미한다.

본 연구는 투과성잠제 배후에서 형성되는 설상사주의 주요외력으로 작용하는 평균유속, 연안류 및 난류운동에너지 등을 포함한 유속장의 특성을 수치적으로 검토하였다. 또한, 연안류에 의한 수송유량으로부터 해안선의 지형변동도 예측하였다. 수치해석에는 오픈소스 CFD 코드인 OLAFOAM에 기초한 3차원수치파동수조에 설상사주의 형성조건 하에 있는 투과성잠제를 설치하여 수치실험을 수행하였다. 수치실험에서는 규칙파의 조건 하에서 잠제의 개구폭 및 설치위치에 따른 잠제 주변에서 유속변동의 특성을 평가하였다. 수치실험 결과로부터 잠제의 개구폭이 넓을수록 강한 연안류가 형성됨과 동시에 수송유량이 증가하고, 개구폭이 좁을수록 연안류가 수렴되는 지점이 제간부에서 제두부로 이동함을 확인하였으며, 이로부터 잠제 배후에 형성되는 설상사주의 형성원인을 파악할 수 있었다. 또한, 잠제 사이의 개구폭 및 잠제와 해안선 사이의 거리에 따라 연안류는 해안선에서 난류운동에너지의 변화와 밀접한 관계를 가지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

$\beta$-$In_2S_3$ and $\beta$-$In_2S_3$:$Co^{2+}$ thin films were grown using the spray pyrolysis method. The thin films crystallized into tetragonal structures. The indirect energy band gap of the thin films was found to be 2.32 eV for $\beta$-$In_2S_3$ and 1.81 eV for $\beta$-$In_2S_3$:$Co^{2+}$(Co:1.0 mol%) at 198K. The direct energy band gap was found to be 2.67 eV for $\beta$-$In_2S_3$ and 2.17 eV for $\beta$-$In_2S_3$:$Co^{2+}$(Co:1.0 mol%). Impurity optical absorption peaks were observed for the ${\beta}$-$In_2S_3$:$Co^{2+}$ thin films. These impurity absorption peaks are assigned, based on the crystal field theory, to the electron transitions between the energy levels of the $Co^{2+}$ ion sited in $T_{d}$ symmetry.

We present the band lineups of G $e_{1-}$x S $n_{x}$ G $e_{1-}$y S $n_{y(001)}$ heterostructures for the new devices. The energy gap of the bulk G $e_{1-}$x S $n_{x}$ alloy is calculated by taking into account the Vegard's law. The change of the energy gap due to the strain is understood in terms of the deformation Potential theory The valence band offset is obtained from the average bond energy model, where the changes of the band offset due to alloy compositions and strain are included. It is found that Ge/G $e_{1-}$y S $n_{y(001)}$ heterostructure has a staggered lineup type for 0$\leq$0.06 and a straddling one for 0.06$\leq$0.26. Meanwhile, Ge/G $e_{l-y}$ S $n_{y(001)}$ heterostructure has a staggered lineup type for 0$\leq$0.19 and a broken-gap one for 0.19$\leq$0.26. As a result, the various type of the G $e_{1-}$x S $n_{x}$ G $e_{1-}$y S $n_{y(001)}$ heterostructure can be applied for the useful device.evice.

For the first time Aluminium-BariumeZinc oxide nanocomposite (ZABONC) was synthesized by solution combustion method where calcination was carried out at low temperatures (600℃) to study the electromagnetic (EM) (X/γ) radiation shielding properties. Further for characterization purpose standard techniques like PXRD, SEM, UV-VISIBLE, FTIR were used to find phase purity, functional groups, surface morphology, and to do structural analysis and energy band gap determination. The PXRD pattern shows (hkl) planes corresponding to spinel cubic phase of ZnAl₂O4, cubic Ba(NO₃)₂, α and γ phase of Al₂O₃ which clearly confirms the formation of complex nano composite. From SEM histogram mean size of nano particles was calculated and is in the order of 17 nm. Wood and Tauc's relation direct energy band gap calculation gives energy gap of 2.9 eV. In addition, EM (X/γ) shielding properties were measured and compared with the theoretical ones using standard procedures (NaI (Tl) detector and multi channel analyzer MCA). For energy above 356 keV the measured shielding parameters agree well with the theory, while below this value slight deviation is observed, due to the influence of atomic/crystallite size of the ZABONC. Hence synthesized ZABONC can be used as a shielding material in EM (X/γ) radiation shielding.

The amount of cesium released from the leaching of spent fuels in contact with and without the compacted bentonite bloc]t which was compacted as the density of $1.4g/\textrm{cm}^3$, up to 5.7 years were measured and the empirical formula of the fractional release rate of cesium were derived from these measured values. The empirical formulas show that the long-term release rate of cesium under a repository would become a constant, as about $3{\times}10_{-6}$ fraction/day, after a certain period. The cumulative fractions of cesium released from the spent fuel with bentonite and with copper and stainless steel sheets were steadily increased, but the fraction from bare fuel was rapidly increased and then sluggishly increased. However, the remained value except its gap inventory from the cumulative fraction of cesium released from bare fuel was almost very close to the others. This suggests that the initial release of cesium from bare fuel might be dependant on its gap inventory.
