전기적 특성을 가지는 4,4',4''-tris(N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino)-triphenylamine (1-TNATA)가 유기발광소자(OLED)에서 전극으로 사용되는 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)와 홀 수송층(Hole Transport Layer, HTL) 사이에 박막으로 진공증착되었다. 분자배열이 잘 되어진 1-TNATA의 경우 ITO와 홀 수송층 사이의 계면에서 생기는 전하주입장벽을 줄임으로 소자의 안정성과 효율을 높여준다. 본 연구에서의 라만 스펙트라(Raman spectra) 분석 결과, 증착된 1-TNATA 박막의 열처리와 증착하는 동안 전자기장 처리에 의해서 박막이 집적되고 분자배열이 이루어짐을 확인하였다. 열처리를 한 경우 1-TNATA 박막으로의 전류 흐름이 25% 증가하였다. 또한, $110^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 1-TNATA 박막으로 제조된 다층유기발광소자의 전원 효율과 발광효율이 향상되었다. 열처리한 박막이 전자기장으로 처리한 박막에 비해 높은 효율을 나타내었다.

This is a proposal to probe local part of the interplanetary dust (IPD) cloud complex and retrieve mean volume emissivity of the local IPDs at mid-infrared wavelengths. This will be done by monitoring, with Infrared Camera (IRC) aboard the ASTRO-F, the annual modulation of the zodiacal emission. In pointing mode of the ASTRO-F mission the spacecraft can make attitude maneuvering over approximately ${\pm}1^{\circ}$ range centered at solar elongation $90^{\circ}$ in the ecliptic plane. The attitude maneuvering combined with high sensitivity of the IRC will provide us with a unique opportunity observationally to take derivatives of the zodiacal emission brightness with respect to the solar elongation. From the resulting differential of the brightness over the ${\pm}1^{\circ}$ range, one can directly determine the mean volume emissivity of the local IPDs with a sufficient accuracy to de-modulate the annual emissivity variations due to the Earth's elliptical motion and the dis-alignment of the maximum IPD density plane with respect to the ecliptic. The non-zero eccentricity ($e_{\oplus}$= 0.0167) of the Earth's orbit combined with the sensitive temperature dependence of the Planck function would bring modulations of amplitude at least $3.34\%$ to the zodiacal emission brightness at mid-infrared wavelengths, with which one may determine the IPD temperature T(r) and mean number density n(r) as functions of heliocentric distance r. This will in turn fix the power-law exponent $\delta$ in the relation $T(r) = T_o(r/r_o)^{-\delta}$ for the dust temperature and v in $n(r) = n_o(r/r_o)^-v$ for the density. We discuss how one may de-couple the notorious degeneracy of cross-section, density, reference temperature $T_o$ and exponent $\delta$.

Although antioxidant activities of Korean traditional fermented foods were reported by many researchers, study on antioxidant activity of microorganism originated from Korean traditional fermented foods was little. Therefore, we improved condition for antioxidant production by a bacterium isolated from home-made Chungkookjang. We selected a bacterial strain, which showed the highest antioxidative activity, from Chungkookjang and then named GJ. The selected GJ strain was identified as Bacillus methylotrophicus by alignment data of 16S rRNA gene nucleotide sequences. Improved medium compositions for DPPH radical scavenging activity were 0.25% sucrose, 1% peptone, 0.01% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ and initial pH 6.5, respectively. Optimal culture conditions were $30^{\circ}C$, 200 rpm and 4% inoculum volume, respectively. In improved conditions, DPPH radical scavenging activity of GJ reached to 91% in a short time. The strain GJ also possessed ACE inhibition and other antioxidative activities; ACE inhibition activity (49.4%), ABTS radical scavenging activity (99.8%), metal chelating activity (67.9%), SOD-like activity (36.5%) and reducing power ($A_{700}$ = 5.982) were observed, respectively. Therefore, our results suggest that B. methylotrophicus GJ strain may be potential candidate for functional foods, cosmetic products for anti-aging and medicine for diseases caused by oxidative stress.

After the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (NPP) accident, level 3 probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) has emerged as an important task in order to assess the risk level of the multi-unit NPPs in a single nuclear site. Accurate calculation of the radionuclide concentrations and exposure doses to the public is required if a nuclear site has multi-unit NPPs and large number of people live near NPPs. So, there has been a great need to develop a new method or procedure for the fast and accurate offsite consequence calculation for the multi-unit NPP accident analysis. Since the multi-unit level 3 PSA is being currently performed assuming that all the NPPs are located at the same position such as a center of mass (COM) or base NPP position, radionuclide concentrations or exposure doses near NPPs can be drastically distorted depending on the locations, multi-unit NPP alignment, and the wind direction. In order to overcome this disadvantage of the COM method, the idea of a new multiple location (ML) method was proposed and implemented into a new tool MURCC (multi-unit radiological consequence calculator). Furthermore, the MURCC code was further improved for the multi-unit level 3 PSA that has the arbitrary number of multi-unit NPPs. The objectives of this study are to (1) qualitatively and quantitatively compare COM and ML methods, and (2) demonstrate the strength and efficiency of the ML method. The strength of the ML method was demonstrated by the applications to the multi-unit long-term station blackout (LTSBO) accidents at the four-unit Vogtle NPPs. Thus, it is strongly recommended that this ML method be employed for the offsite consequence analysis of the multi-unit NPP accidents.

본 논문에서는 3-Cell 간섭 환경에서의 하향링크 MU-MIMO를 위한 간섭 공간 재활용 기술 (ISR)과 그 적용방안을 제시한다. 멀티 셀 간섭환경의 셀 경계 사용자들의 안정적인 통신을 위해서는 효율적인 간섭 관리가 필요하다. 하지만 셀 중심부의 사용자들의 경우 간섭의 영향을 적게 받으며 적은 전송 전력으로도 안정적인 통신이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 셀 경계 사용자의 간섭 공간을 재사용하여 셀 중심부 사용자에게 서비스를 제공하는 ISR 기반 전송 신호 설계 방법을 제시한다. ISR 방식은 간섭정렬(IA)과 결합된 부분적 주파수 재활용 (fractional frequency reuse : FFR) 방식과 비교하여 볼 때 셀 중심 사용자와 셀 경계 사용자에 대한 scheduling에 따라 전체 네트워크 데이터 전송용량 측면에서 20%의 성능 향상을 보이며 또한 셀 중심 사용자의 서비스 품질 (QoS) 요구조건이 고정되어 있는 경우 ISR 방식에 의해 기지국에서의 전송 신호 벡터를 설계함으로서 셀 경계 사용자의 데이터 전송 용량을 증가시킬 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 밀리미터파 W대역에서 동작하는 안테나 성능 측정을 위한 원-전계 측정 시스템을 설계하고 검증하였다. 안테나 성능 시험은 안테나의 종류, 측정 항목, 측정 환경 및 기간 등에 따라 측정 시스템을 선택해야 한다. 근접 전계 측정은 안테나가 다중 채널을 가지거나 다양한 빔을 가지고 있을 경우, 측정 항목이 증가하기 때문에 많은 시간이 소요된다. 이러한 안테나는 원-전계 측정을 통해 측정 시간을 단축 할 수 있고 필요한 측정 항목만 측정이 가능하다. 따라서 본 연구는 원-전계 측정 시스템을 고출력 레이저를 이용하여 정밀한 정렬을 확보하고 이중 증폭기 시스템을 적용하여 측정 정확도를 향상하였다. 설계된 시스템은 무반향 챔버 내 구축하였으며 검증된 근접 전계 측정 시스템과 비교하여 검증하였다.

Micro-light emitting diode (micro-LED) displays offer numerous advantages such as high brightness, fast response, and low power consumption. Hence, they are spotlighted as the next-generation display. However, defective LEDs may be created due to non-uniform contact loads or LED alignment errors. Therefore, a repair process involving the replacement of defective LEDs with favorable ones is necessitated. The general repair process involves the removal of defective micro-LEDs, interconnection material transfer, as well as new micro-LED transfer and bonding. However, micro-LEDs are difficult to repair since their size decreases to a few tens of micron in width and less than 10 ㎛ in thickness. The conventional nozzle-type dispenser for fluxes and the conventional vacuum chuck for LEDs are not applicable to the micro-LED repair process. In this study, transfer conditions are determined using a micro stamp for repairing micro-LEDs. Results show that the aging time should be set to within 60 min, based on measuring the aging time of the flux. Additionally, the micro-LEDs are subjected to a compression test, and the result shows that they should be transferred under 18.4 MPa. Finally, the I-V curves of micro-LEDs processed by the laser and hot plate reflows are measured to compare the electrical properties of the micro-LEDs based on the reflow methods. It was confirmed that the micro-LEDs processed by the laser reflow show similar electrical performance with that processed by the hot plate reflow. The results can provide guidance for the repair of micro-LEDs using micro stamps.

도로의 가장자리에 설치되는 경계석과 측구는 교통사고로부터 보행자를 보호하고 강우로 인한 차량의 미끄러짐을 방지하는 중요한 구조물이다. 그러나 경계석과 측구를 시공함에 있어 대부분의 공정을 인력으로 수행하는 기존 시공법은 작업성과 시공품질, 시공비 등의 측면에서 많은 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 시공법이 갖고 있는 많은 문제점들을 해결할 수 새로운 시공법을 개발하였다. 새로운 공법으로 시공된 경계석과 측구의 구조적인 안정성과 시공품질을 확인하기 위하여 기존공법과 신공법으로 시공된 경계석에 대해서 인발과 수평재하시험을 실시함과 동시에 기존공법과 신공법으로 시공된 측구에서 채취된 콘크리트 시편에 대해 일축압축시험도 실시하였다. 시험결과 신공법으로 시공된 경계석의 선형과 측구콘크리트의 강도는 크게 향상되었으며, 신공법으로 시공된 경계석의 인발 및 수평저항력은 기존공법으로 시공된 경우보다 각각 10.7배와 2.5배 큰 것으로 나타났다.

BaTiO₃-Poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) solution was prepared by adding 0~25 wt% BaTiO₃ nanopowder and 10 wt% PVDF powder in solvent. BaTiO₃-PVDF film was fabricated by spreading the solution on a glass with a doctor blade. The output performance increased with increasing BaTiO₃ concentration. When the BaTiO₃ concentration was 20 wt%, the output voltage and current were 4.98 V and 1.03 ㎂ at an applied force of 100 N. However, they decreased when the over 20 wt% BaTiO₃ powder was added, due to the aggregation of particles. To enhance the output performance, the generator was poled with an electric field of 150~250 kV/cm at 100 ℃ for 12 h. The output performance increased with increasing electric field. The output voltage and current were 7.87 V and 2.5 ㎂ when poled with a 200 kV/cm electric field. This result seems likely to be caused by the c-axis alignment of the BaTiO₃ after poling treatment. XRD patterns of the poled BaTiO₃-PVDF films showed that the intensity of the (002) peak increased under high electric field. However, when the generator was poled with 250 kV/cm, the output performance of the generator degraded due to breakdown of the BaTiO₃-PVDF film. When the generator was matched with 800 Ω resistance, the power density of the generator reached 1.74 mW/m². The generator was able to charge a 10 ㎌ capacitor up to 1.11 V and turn on 10 red LEDs.

Terahertz (THz) communication is becoming a key technology for future 6G wireless networks because of its ultra-wide band. However, the implementation of THz communication systems confronts formidable challenges, notably beam splitting effects and high computational complexity associated with them. Our primary objective is to design a hybrid precoder that minimizes the Euclidean distance from the fully digital precoder. The analog precoding part adopts the delay-phase alternating minimization (DP-AltMin) algorithm, which divides the analog precoder into phase shifters and time delayers. This effectively addresses the beam splitting effects within THz communication by incorporating time delays. The traditional digital precoding solution, however, needs matrix inversion in THz massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems, resulting in significant computational complexity and complicating the design of the analog precoder. To address this issue, we exploit the characteristics of THz massive MIMO communication systems and construct the digital precoder as a product of scale factors and semi-unitary matrices. We utilize Schatten norm and Hölder's inequality to create semi-unitary matrices after initializing the scale factors depending on the power allocation. Finally, the analog precoder and digital precoder are alternately optimized to obtain the ultimate hybrid precoding scheme. Extensive numerical simulations have demonstrated that our proposed algorithm outperforms existing methods in mitigating the beam splitting issue, improving system performance, and exhibiting lower complexity. Furthermore, our approach exhibits a more favorable alignment with practical application requirements, underlying its practicality and efficiency.
