  • It is well known that conventional welding techniques can result in welding defects due to the large groove angle of the weld. In this context, the narrow gap welding (NGW) technique is applied in the nuclear industry because of its inherent merits such as the reduction in welding time and the shrinkage of the weld, and the small deformation of the weld resulting from the small groove angle and welding bead width. In this paper, the distribution of welding residual stress and deformation behavior of the ER308L weld due to NGW are predicted through nonlinear two-dimensional finite element analysis, in which the actual NGW process is simulated in detail. In particular, the effects of the shape of weld, i.e., the width of the weld and the shape of the welding groove, on the residual stress are investigated. The present results can be used to assess the integrity of defective nuclear components and to improve the welding process.

  • Triangular patches have been studied, both theoretically and experimentally. We feund that provided radiation characteristics similar to those of rectangular patches, but with smaller size. In this paper, we designed an equilateral triangular microstrip patch antenna using cavity model analysis. Then, in order to improve narrow bandwidth, we add capacitive gap and air gap. Capacitive gap is located with square shape beside feeding point on the patch, and air gap is inserted between substrate dielectric and ground plane to adjust probe inductance. The analysis of characteristics and effects of each component was performed by commercial simulation tool, Ensemble 5.0. Throughout the simulation and experiment, we found the possibility of bandwidth enhancement in triangular microstrip antenna.

  • Microwave or optical photonic band-gap(PBG) structures are conventionally realized by cascading distributive elements in a periodic pattern. However, the frequency bandwidth obtained through such plainly periodic arrangement is typically narrow, corporate with a relatively high rejection side-lobe band. To alleviate such problems, a design involving a chirping and tapering technique is hence introduced and employed. The design has been applied in both a planar stratified dielectric medium as well as a strip-line transmission line structure, and results are validated when compared with the corresponding conventional PBG structure.

  • While a rotating inner cylinder executes a periodic translational motion in concentric annulus, the vibration of the rotating inner cylinder is induced by fluid-dynamic forces acting on the cylinder. In the previous study related to journal bearing, the unsteady viscous flow in the annulus and the fluid-dynamic forces were evaluated based on a numerical approach. Considering the dynamic-characteristics of unsteady viscous flow, an approximate analytical method has been developed for estimating added mass, viscous damping and fluid-stiffness coefficients. For the study of flow-induced vibrations and related instabilities, it is of interest to separate the coefficients from the fluid-dynamic forces. The added-mass and viscous damping coefficients for very narrow annular configurations, as journal bearing. can be approximated by considering the gap ratio to the radius of inner cylinder, while the fluid-stiffness coefficient is related to the Reynolds number, the oscillatory Reynolds number and the gap ratio.

  • 최근 세계적 주목을 받고 있는 spin FET 소자는 반도체에 주입된 spin 편향된 전자가 gate voltage(V$_{G}$)에 의해 반도체 계면에 유도된 전기장의 영향을 받아, Spin 세차운동을 하는 mechanism(Rashba 효과)이 근간을 이루고 있다. 작은 band gap을 가지는 반도체(narrow gap 반도체)는 작은 유효질량의 전자에 의해서 이러한 Rashba 효과를 크게 할 수 있어서, spin FET 구현을 위한 강력한 후보이며, 요즘 한창 연구되고 있는 주제이기도 하다. Rashba 효과가 저자기장 영역에서의 weak antilocalization효과로 나타남을 이용하여, 본 논문에서는 metal gate가 형성된 HgCdTe FET를 제작하여(FET1 시료, Fig. 1(a)참조), V$_{G}$에 따른 weak localization(WL) 및 weak antilocalization(WAL) 효과를 얻었다. 또한, Rashba 효과에 의한 spin 세차운동을 측정할 수 있는 소자(FET3 시료, Fig.1(b) 참조)를 제작하여 spin FET 구조에 대하여 연구하였다.

  • A CFD analysis has been performed to investigate turbulent heat transfer in a triangular rod bundle with a pitch-to-diameter ratio(P/D) of 1.06. Anisotropic turbulence models predicted the turbulence-driven secondary flow in the triangular subchannel and the distributions of time mean velocity and temperature showing significantly improved agreement with the measurements over the linear standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$. The anisotropic turbulence models predicted turbulence structure in large flow region fairly well but could not predict the very high turbulent intensity of azimuthal velocity observed in narrow flow region(gap).

  • We report the multiple quantum well (MQW) structure for highly efficient red phosphorescent OLEDs. Various triplet quantum well devices from a single well to five quantum wells are realized using a wide band-gap hole and electron transporting layers, narrow band-gap host and dopant material, and charge control layers (CCL). The maximum external quantum efficiency of 14.8 % with a two quantum well device structure is obtained, which is the highest value among the red phosphorescent OLEDs using same dopant.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the gap between need-level and demonstration-level in nursing managerial competencies. In addition, the study proposes solutions to narrow this gap. The results of this study are as follows : 1) The mean score for need-level of each item was 4.0, and for demonstration-level, 3.5. This indicates that military hospital head nurses demonstrate a higher level of managerial competencies than the moderate level on all items. But items which were related to resource/ cost/ information managament, staff development management and professionalism management got relatively low ratings in the need-level. 2) The mean score for need-level of each category was 4.14, and for demonstration-level, 3.53. Categories on the individual dimension got a higher rating than categories on the group or organization dimension in both need-level and demonstration level. 3) The gap between need-level and demonstration-level appeared in all items(p<.05) and categories(p<.001). Although the gap was relatively low, it indicates that it is essential to plan a developmemt program for all nursing management competencies for military hospital head nurses. 4) There were significant differences in the gap between need-level and demonstration-level according to specific characteristics of the subjects. The gap did not appear in many categories on the individual dimension where the number of nursing staff was more than 10, a major grade, ICU head nurse or for head nurses having a long career. 5) Need-level and demonstration-level showed a difference according to specific characteristics of the subjects, because need-level and demonstration-level were higher where the number of nursing staff was more than 10, a major grade, and for ICU or Medical ward head nurses. The categories which showed need-level difference and demonstration-level differences according to specific characteristics of the subjects existed almostly completely in the group and organization dimension. Gap-level differences according to the number of hospital bed existed in only two categories. 6) The general causes of the gap were indicated to be 'Knowledge/ skill/ experience deficit', 'Limitation of rules and systems/ Inappropriate organizational environment' for most items, categories, and dimensions. The results of this study indicate that extensive competency developing strategies must be developed, because a gap was found in all items and categories. Specially, there is a need to concentrate attention on competencies in the group and organizational dimension which had a wider gap level. And it is important to take an individual approach according to the cause for each gap. In order to produce effective competency developing strategies, top managers must have sinsights into the importance of nursing staff development and nursing officer's efforts to develop themselves must be achieved. Further multi-dimensional(education, personnel-policy, nursing/ organizational environment) solutions to the gap must be developed and utilized.

  • Hard disk drives (HDD) in computer are used extensively as data storage capacity. The trend in the computer industry to produce smaller disk drives rotating at higher speeds requires an improved understanding of fluid motion in the space between disks. Laser sheet and digital camera was used for 2-dimensional visualization of the unsteady flow between the center pair of two co-rotating disks in air with a cylindrical enclosure (or shroud). Geometric parameters are gap height (H) between disks, and gap distance (G) between disk tip and shroud. The lobe-structured boundary between inner region and outer region was detected by inserted particles, and the number of dominant vortices was determined clearly It is found from flow visualization that the number of vortex cells can be correlated with Reynolds number based on H which is defined as $Re_H={\Omega}RH/v$ ranging from $3.18\times10^3\;to\;1.43\times10^4$, and decreases as the disk speed increases. The lobe pattern by vortex cells is changed to a circular pattern for the wide gap than narrow one.

  • We have proposed a new shallow trench isolation (STI) process using flowable oxide (F-oxide) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for DRAM application and it was successfully developed. The combination of F-oxide CVD and HDP CVD is thought to be the superior STI gap-filling process for next generation DRAM fabrication because F-oxide not only improves STI gap-filling capability, but also the reduced local stress by F-oxide in narrow trenches leads to decrease in junction leakage and gate induced drain leakage (GIDL) current. Finally, this process increased data retention time of DRAM compared to HDP STI. However, a serious failure occurred by symphonizing its structural dependency of deposited thickness with poor resistance against HF chemicals. It could be suppressed by reducing the flow time during F-oxide deposition. It was investigated collectively in terms of device yield. In conclusion, the combination of F-oxide and HDP oxide is the very promising technology for STI gap filling process of sub-100nm DRAM technology.
