We present the peridynamic dynamic fracture analysis to solve impact fracturing of multilayered glass impacted by a high-velocity object. In the most practical multilayered glass structures, main layers are glued by thin elastic masking films. Thus, it is difficult and expensive to construct the numerical model for such a multilayered structure. In this paper, we employ efficient numerical modeling of multilayered structures with a nonlocal ghost interlayer model in which ghost particles are distributed between main layers and they are interacting with each other in peridynamic way. We also consider a simple nonlocal contact condition in peridynamic frameworks to solve impact and penetration of the high-velocity impactor to the multilayered structure. Finally we can confirm the fracture capabilities of the method using a multilayered glass model in which 7 glass layers and a single elastic backing layer are affixed by polyvinyl butyral films.

In this paper, a new method is presented to measure the refractive index of single plain glass or multilayered materials, based on a laser frequency-shifted confocal feedback microscope. Combining the laser frequency-shifted feedback technique and the confocal effect, the method can attain high axial-positioning accuracy, stability and sensitivity. Measurements of different samples are given, including N-BK7 glass, Silica plain glass, and a microfluidic chip with four layers. The results for N-BK7 glass and Silica plain glass show that the measurement uncertainty in the refractive index is better than 0.001. Meanwhile, the feasibility of this method for multilayered materials is tested. Compared to conventional methods, this system is more compact and has less difficulty in sample processing, and thus is promising for applications in the area of refractive-index measurement.

The dielectric reliability of a polycrystalline and a multilayered $BaTiO_3$ thin films was evaluated using a time-zero dielectric breakdown (TZDB) and a time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) techniques. The $BaTiO_3$ thin films were prepared by rf-magnetron sputtering technique on ITO-coated glass substrates. In case of the multilayered $BaTiO_3$ thin film, the dielectric breakdown histogram, which was obtained from the TZDB measurements, showed a typical Weibull distribution. While in case of polycrystalIine $BaTiO_3$ thin film, a randomly distributed dielectric breakdown histogram was observed. The TDDB results of the multilayered $BaTiO_3$ thin film guaranteed about $10^5$ hours-operation under the stress field of 1 MV/cm.

In the present study, a ZnO thin film, as a buffer layer of ITO (indium tin oxide) film was deposited on glass substrates by RF magnetron sputtering at low temperature of $150^{\circ}C$. In order to estimate the optical characteristics and compare with the experimental results in Glass/ZnO(100 nm)/ITO(35 nm) multilayered film, the simulation program, EMP (Essential Macleod Program) was adopted. The sheet resistance and optical transmittance of the films were measured using the four-point probe method and spectrophotometer, respectively. From X-ray diffraction patterns, all the films deposited at $150^{\circ}C$ demonstrated only the amorphous phase. Optical transmittance was the highest at a ZnO thickness of 100 nm. The ITO(35 nm)/ZnO(100 nm) film exhibits an optical transmittance of >92% at 550 nm. The multilayered film showed an electrical sheet resistance of 407 ${\Omega}/sq.$, which is significantly better than that of a single-layer ITO film without a ZnO buffer layer (815 ${\Omega}/sq.$).

Peridynamics has been widely used in the dynamic fracture analysis of brittle materials. Recently, various crack patterns(compact region, floret, Hertz-type crack, etc.) of multilayered glass structures in experiments(Bless et al. 2010) were implemented with a bond-based peridynamic simulation(Bobaru et al.. 2012). The actual glass layers are bound with thin elastic interlayer material while the interlayer is missing from the peridynamic model used in the previous numerical study. In this study, the peridynamic interlayer modeling for the multilayered structures is proposed. It requires enormous computational time and memory to explicitly model very thin interlayer materials. Instead of explicit modeling, fictitious peridynamic particles are introduced for modeling interlayer materials. The computational efficiency and accuracy of the proposed peridynamic interlayer model are verified through numerical tests. Furthermore, preventing penetration scheme based on short-range interaction force is employed for the multilayered structure under compression and verified through parametric tests.

Standard finite element wave propagation codes are useful for determining stresses caused by the impact of one body with another; however, their applicability to a laminated system such as architectural laminated glass is limited because the important interlayer delamination process caused by impact loading is difficult to model. This paper presents a method that allows traditional wave propagation codes to model the interlayer debonding of laminated architectural glass subject to low velocity, small missile impact such as that which occurs in severe windstorms. The method can be extended to any multilayered medium with adhesive bonding between the layers. Computational results of concern to architectural glazing designers are presented.

In this study, multilayered graphene was easily transferred to the target substrate in one step using thermal release tape. The transmittance of the transferred graphene according to the number of layers was measured using a spectrophotometer. The sheet resistance was measured using a four-point probe system. Graphene formed using this transfer method showed almost the same electrical and optical properties as that formed using the conventional poly (methyl methacrylate) transfer method. This method is suitable for the mass production of graphene because of the short process time and easy large-area transfer. In addition, multilayered graphene can be transferred on various substrates without wetting problem using the one-step dry transfer method. In this work, this easy transfer method was used for dielectric substrates such as glass, paper and polyethylene terephthalate, and a sheet resistance of ~240 ohm/sq was obtained with three-layer graphene. By fabricating organic solar cells, we verified the feasibility of using this method for optoelectronic devices.

In this paper, an integrated analysis model for evaluating the underwater acoustic performance of the multilayered acoustic coatings containing visco-elastic composite layers with hollow glass microspheres is described. The model uses the effective medium theory considering the acoustic scattering and resonance effects of the inclusions. Also, the model incorporates the compressive deformation mechanism associated with hydrostatic pressure. The technique developed in this work was used as the acoustic layer design and performance analysis tools for the practical hull coatings and acoustic baffles in Korean next generation submarines.

The $TiO_2$/ZnS/Ag/ZnS/$TiO_2$ multilayered structure for the transparent electrodes in plasma display panel was designed by essential macleod program (EMP) and the multilayered film was deposited on a glass substrate by direct-current (DC)/radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering system. During film deposition process, the Ag layer in $TiO_2$/Ag/$TiO_2$ structure became oxidized and the filter characteristic was degraded easily. In this study, ZnS layer was adopted as a diffusion blocking layer between $TiO_2$ and Ag to prevent the oxidation of Ag layer efficiently in $TiO_2$/ZnS/Ag/ZnS/$TiO_2$ structure. Based on the AES depth profiling analysis, the Ag layer was effectively protected by the ZnS layer as compared with the $TiO_2$/Ag/$TiO_2$ multilayered films without ZnS as an antioxidant layer. The 3 times stacked $TiO_2$/ZnS/Ag/ZnS/$TiO_2$ films have low sheet resistance of $1.22{\Omega}/{\square}$ and luminous transmittance was as high as 62% in the visible ranges.

A strong antiferromagnetic coupling in Fe/Si multilayered films (MLF) had been recently discovered and much consideration has been given to whether the coupling in the Fe/Si MLF system has the same origin as the metal/metal MLF. Nevertheless, the nature of the interfacial ron silicide is still controversial. On one hand, a metal/ semiconductor structure was suggested with a narrow band-gap semiconducting $\varepsilon$-FeSi spacer that mediates the coupling. However, some features show that the nature of coupling can be well understood in terms of the conventional metal/metal multilayered system. It is well known that both magneto-optical (MO) and optical properties of a metal depend strongly on their electronic structure that is also correlated with the atomic and chemical ordering. In this study, the nature of the interfacial regions is the Fe/Si multilayers has been investigated by the experimental and computer-simulated MO and optical spectroscopies. The Fe/Si MLF were prepared by rf-sputtering onto glass substrates at room temperature with the number of repetition N=50. The thickness of Fe sublayer was fixed at 3.0nm while the Si sublayer thickness was varied from 1.0 to 2.0 nm. The topmost layer of all the Fe/Si MLF is Fe. In order to carry out the computer simulations, the information on the MO and optical parameters of the materials that may constitute a real multilayered structure should be known in advance. For this purpose, we also prepared Fe, Si, FeSi2 and FeSi samples. The structural characterization of Fe/Si MLF was performed by low- and high -angle x-ray diffraction with a Cu-K$\alpha$ radiation and by transmission electron microscopy. A bulk $\varepsilon$-FeSi was also investigated. The MO and optical properties were measured at room temperature in the 1.0-4.7 eV energy range. The theoretical simulations of MO and optical properties for the Fe/Si MLF were performed by solving exactly a multireflection problem using the scattering matrix approach assuming various stoichiometries of a nonmagnetic spacer separating the antiferromagnetically coupled Fe layers. The simulated spectra of a model structure of FeSi2 or $\varepsilon$-FeSi as the spacer turned out to fail in explaining the experimental spectra of the Fe/Si MLF in both intensity and shape. Thus, the decisive disagreement between experimental and simulated MO and optical properties ruled out the hypothesis of FeSi2 and $\varepsilon$-FeSi as the nonmagnetic spacer. By supposing the spontaneous formation of a metallic ζ-FeSi, a reasonable agreement between experimental and simulated MO and optical spectra was obtained.
