The paper describes spectroscopic characteristics of plasma induced in the pulsed YAG laser welding of alloys containing a large amount of volatile elements. The authors have conducted the spectroscopic analyses of laser induced Al-Mg alloys plasma in the air and argon atmosphere. In the air environment the identified spectra were atomic lines of Al, Mg, Cr, Mn, Cu, Fe and Zn and singly ionized Mg lines as well as the intense molecular spectra of ALO and MgO formed by chemi-cal reactions of evaporated Al and Mg atoms from the pool surface with oxygen in the air. In argon atmosphere MgO and AlO spectra vanished but AlH spectrum was detected. the hydrogen source was presumable hydrogen dissolved in the base metals water absorbed on the surface oxide layer or $H_2$ and $H_2O$ in the shielding gas. The resonant lines of Al and Mg were strongly self-absorbed in particular self-absorption of the Mg line was predominant. These results show that the laser induced plasma was made of metallic vapor with relatively low temperature and high density.

Application of magnetic fields is important to characterize the carrier dynamics in semiconductor quantum structures. We performed photoluminescence (PL) measurements from an InGaP-AlInGaP single quantum well under pulsed magnetic fields to 50 T. The zero field interband PL transition energy matches well with the self-consistent Poisson-$Schr{\ddot{o}}dinger$ equation. We attempted to analyze the dimensionality of the quantum well by using the diamagnetic shift of the magnetoexciton. The real quantum well has finite thickness that causes the quasi-two-dimensional behavior of the exciton diamagnetic shift. The PL intensity diminishes with increasing magnetic field because of the exciton motion in the presence of magnetic field.

The most important question is how to use which kind of switch in pulsed power generation. There are many kinds of commercial closing switches, which have advantages and disadvantages. The most popular closing switch is the spark gap, but it has a disadvantage in life time, because of erosion of electrodes by arc heating. The Rotary Arc Gap (RAG) switch, especially Walkie-Edgar type RAG switch, was proposed to solve such problems in spark gap. It has a simple and special structure for arc moving caused from self-induced electromagnetic force, because moving arc makes less erosion on the electrodes. In this study we have made an Walkie-Edgar type RAG switch, tested the switching with capacitive energy storage system, and measured rotating arc speed in different peak current.

We design and demonstrate the controled doping into ZnO nanowires (NWs) adopting self-contrived hot-walled pulsed laser deposition (HW-PLD). Optimized synthesis conditions with the diversified dopants guarantee the excellent crystalinity and morphology as well as electrical properties of the NWs. Proprietary target rotating system in the HW-PLD fuels the controlled formation and doping of the NWs. Prepared NWs sensitive to the environment are systematically characterized, and the doping mechanism is discussed.

Background: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is well-known soluble tumor marker frequently detectable in peripheral blood of carcinoma patients and considered as good target for antigen-specific immunotherapy. However, it is known that the induction of immune response to CEA is very difficult because CEA is a self-antigen expressed in fetal cells and weakly expressed in normal colorectal epithelial cells. To enhance anti-tumor immunity specific for CEA, recombinant CEA protein was modified using listeriolysin O (LLO) for endosomal lysis and trans activator of transcription (Tat) domain for transducing extracellular proteins into cytoplasm. Methods: After immunization using dendritic cells pulsed with Tat-CEA, both Tat-CEA and LLO, and both Tat-CEA and Tat-LLO, antibody titer to CEA and LLO, cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity and the frequency of IFN-${\gamma}$ producing T lymphocytes were measured. Results: Immunization using DC pulsed with both Tat-CEA and Tat-LLO protein showed the increasement of production of CEA-specific antibody in serum, cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity, the frequency of IFN-${\gamma}$ secreting T cells, compared with DC pulsed with both Tat-CEA and LLO. Furthermore the ratio of CD8+T cell to $CD4^+$ cell among CEA-specific T cells was increased in group pulsed with both Tat-CEA and Tat-LLO. Conclusion: These results suggested that DC vaccine using Tat-LLO could be used for the development of effective immunotherapy for the treatment of tumor.

The sizes and structures of micelles formed in aqueous solutions of cationic octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (OTAC) and anionic ammonium dodecyl sulfate (ADS) surfactants were investigated using smallangle neutron scattering (SANS), self-diffusion coefficients by pulsed-gradient spin-echo (PGSE) NMR, and dynamic light scattering (DLS) methods. SANS and DLS data indicate that their structures are spherical at concentrations as high as 300 mM. As the total surfactant concentration increases, the peaks of SANS spectra shift to higher scattering vector and become sharper, indicating that the intermicellar distance decreases and its distribution becomes narrower. This is due to more compact packing of surfactant molecules at high concentrations. The intermicellar distance of around 100 ${\AA}$ above 200 mM corresponds approximately to the diameter of one micelle. The sizes of spherical micelles are 61 ${\AA}$ and 41 ${\AA}$ for 9 mM OTAC and 10 mM ADS, respectively. Also the self-diffusion coefficients by PGSE-NMR yield the apparent sizes 96 ${\AA}$ and 31 ${\AA}$ for micelles of 1 mM OTAC and 10 mM ADS, respectively. For ADS solutions of high concentrations (100-300 mM), DLS data show that the micelle size remains constant at $25{\pm}2{\AA}$. This indicates that the transition in micellar shape does not take place up to 300 mM, which is consistent with the SANS results.

Y$_2$O$_3$ films were pulsed laser deposited on cube textured Ni and Ni-W substrates to be used as a single buffer layer of YBCO coated conductor. Initial deposition of $Y_2$O$_3$ films was performed in a reducing atmosphere, and subsequent deposition was done in the base pressure of the chamber and oxygen atmosphere. The $Y_2$O$_3$ films have a strong cube texture (The full width at half maximum of the ø-scan of $Y_2$O$_3$ was 8.4 which was the same as that of metal substrate) and smooth crack-free microstructure. The biaxially textured YBCO films (The full width at half maximum of the ø-scan was 10.2) pulsed laser deposited on the $Y_2$O$_3$/metal exhibited Tc(R=0) of 86.5K and Jc of 0.7 MA/cm2 at 77K in self field, representing that the $Y_2$O$_3$ single buffer layer is an efficient diffusion barrier of Ni and thus very promising for the achievement of high-Jc YBCO coated conductor.

대기압의 공기 중에서 코로나 방전 플라스마에 대한 특성을 연구하기 위해 wire-cylinder 형태의 반응로에서 FCT(flux-corrected transport) 알고리즘과 FEM(finite element method) 방법을 적용한 자체 모순이 없는 1차원 수치적 모델을 사용하였다. 코로나 방전 반응로에 펄스 전압과 직류 전압을 인가하였을 때, 플라스마 밀도의 분포를 계산하여 전압의 변화에 따른 플라스마 특성의 변화를 연구하였으며, 또한 반응로의 크기 변화에 따른 플라스마의 특성 변화를 연구하였다. 이 결과로 얻어지는 활동 반경(active radius)의 변화를 Peek의 실험값과 비교해 보았다. 이와 같은 코로나 방전 플라스마에 대한 수치적 계산 결과는 방전 과정에서 일어나는 물리적 특성을 잘 설명하여 환경오염 물질 제거를 위한 반응로의 최적 설계를 위해 유용하게 쓰일 수 있을 것이다.

W fabricated thin film using Na$_{0.5}$K$_{0.5}$NbO$_3$ volatile material by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and studied characterization from EM, XRD, P-E. The density and scale of droplet, which is the defect of PLD, was investigated by SEM but large droplet was not found. The degree of assemble oriented C-axis measured with X-ray diffraction suggests that this film oriented C-axis achieved by $\theta$-2$\theta$ scan and rocking curves shows good self-assemble phenomenon, finally $\phi$-scan does that all of the four directions of the lattice in film equals to those of substrate. P-E hysteresis loop shows residual remnant polarization or saturation polarization value, but it is applicable to memories.ies.

Nanopowder of FeAl was synthesized by high energy ball milling. Using the pulsed current activated sintering method, a dense nanostuctured FeAl was consolidated within 2 minutes from mechanically synthesized powders of FeAl and horizontally milled powders of Fe+Al. The grain size and hardness of FeAl sintered from horizontally milled Fe+Al powders and high energy ball milled FeAl powder were 150 nm, 50 nm and $466\;kg/mm^2$, $574\;kg/mm^2$, respectively.
