CPU기반의 볼륨 광선 투사법을 위하여 빈 공간을 도약하는 많은 방법들이 소개되었다. 하지만 광선의 샘플점이 투명한 공간과 비투명한 공간 사이에 있는 반투명-셀에 놓일 경우 기존의 방법들은 투명도 값을 매번 계산해야 하는 문제점이 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 기존 마칭큐브를 이용하는 방법이 제안되었다. 광선이 반투명-셀에 도착하면 마칭큐브 방법을 이용하여 생성된 삼각형들을 둘러싸고 있는 육면체를 구하고, 현재 샘플점이 육면체 내/외부에 있는지 계산한다. 샘플점이 육면체 외부에 위치하면 투명하다고 판단되어 재샘플링 연산없이 다음 샘플점으로 이동한다. 하지만 기존의 마칭큐브 테이블 구조를 그대로 이용하면 인접한 복셀의 테이블 값을 여러 번 참조해야 하므로 비효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 볼륨 광선 투사법에 적합한 마칭큐브 테이블을 제안함으로써 렌더링 속도를 높인다.

Because silicon thin film solar cells have a high absorption coefficient in visible light, they can absorb 90% of the solar spectrum in a $1-{\mu}m$-thick layer. Silicon thin film solar cells also have high transparency and are lightweight. Therefore, they can be used for building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems. However, the contact electrode needs to be replaced for fabricating silicon thin film solar cells in BIPV systems, because most of the silicon thin film solar cells use metal electrodes that have a high reflectivity and low transmittance. In this study, we replace the conventional aluminum top electrode with a transparent aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) electrode, the band level of which matches well with that of the intrinsic layer of the silicon thin film solar cell and has high transmittance. We show that the AZO effectively replaces the top metal electrode and the bottom fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate without a noticeable degradation of the photovoltaic characteristics.

To implement the planning of zero-energy buildings, their energy performance must be improved, and renewable energy applications must also be included. To accelerate the use of renewable energies in such buildings, BIPVs should be actively used in windows and on roofs. Window-type BIPVs are being developed in various forms depending on the size, composition, area ratio of the window, specification of glass, and so on. To analyze the applicability of various solar cells as window-type BIPVs, in this study, we evaluated their applicability, at the current development level, by analyzing the indoor illuminance, heat gain and heat loss; the cooling, heating, and lighting energy levels; and the generation performance of the various solar cells. To enhance the future applicability of window type BIPV, we analyze the overall energy performance of the building, according to changes in visible light transmittance and generation efficiency. The main research results are as follows. The area ratios above the standard illuminance, based on the window type and according to the VLT, were in order of low-e glazing, a-Si window, DSSC window, and c-Si window. The heat gain of the semi-transparent solar cell winodw was remarkably low. The energy consumption of buildings was highest in the order of c-Si window, DSSC window, a-Si window, and clear low-e window. However, in the case of including the power generation performance of the solar cell, the energy consumption was found to be high in order of DSSC window, c-Si window, a-Si window, and clear low-e window. In the future, if a window-type BIPV is developed, we believe that improvement in power generation performance and improvement in visible light transmittance will be needed.

온실 가스 감축과 관련하여 BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics)는 청정 에너지 자원을 바탕으로 도심의 빌딩에서 자체적으로 전력을 생산할 수 있는 중요한 기술이다. 특히, 페로브스카이트 물질은 투명성을 지니고 있으며, 다양한 색상 구현이 가능하여 BIPV용 태양전지로 주목받고 있다. 그러나 태양전지의 투과도와 효율은 서로 반비례 관계에 있어 두 인자를 모두 높이는 것은 쉽지 않은 과제이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 투과도와 효율을 모두 높일 수 있는 반투명 페로브스카이트 태양전지 구조를 제안하고, 이를 평가하였으며, 안정성 평가를 위해 국제표준에 따른 내구성 평가를 수행하였다.

To overcome the theoretical efficiency of single-junction solar cells (> 30 %), tandem solar cells (or multi-junction solar cells) is considered as a strong nominee because of their excellent light utilization. Organic-inorganic halide perovskite has been regarded as a promising candidate material for next-generation tandem solar cell due to not only their excellent optoelectronic properties but also their bandgap-tune-ability and low-temperature process-possibility. As a result, they have been adopted either as a wide-bandgap top cell combined with narrow-bandgap silicon or CuIn_xGa_(1-x)Se₂ bottom cells or for all-perovskite tandem solar cells using narrow- and wide-bandgap perovskites. To successfully transition perovskite materials from for single junction to tandem, substantial efforts need to focus on fabricating the high quality wide- and narrow-bandgap perovskite materials and semi-transparent electrode/recombination layer. In this paper, we present an overview of the current research and our outlook regarding perovskite-based tandem solar technology. Several key challenges discussed are: 1) a wide-bandgap perovskite for top-cell in multi-junction tandem solar cells; 2) a narrow-bandgap perovskite for bottom-cell in all-perovskite tandem solar cells, and 3) suitable semi-transparent conducting layer for efficient electrode or recombination layer in tandem solar cells.

Luminescent solar concentrator (LSC), consisting of luminophore included glass or substrate with edge-mounted photovoltaic cell, is semi-transparent, energy harvesting devices. The luminophore absorbs incident solar light and re-emit photons, while the waveguide plate allows re-emitted photons to reach edge or bottom mounted photovoltaic cells with reduced losses. If the area of LSC is much larger than that of photovoltaic cell, this system can effectively concentrate solar light. In order to improve the performance of LSC, new materials and optical structures have been suggested by many research groups. For decreasing re-abosprion losses, it is essential to minimize the overlap between absorption and photoluminescence solar spectrum of luminophoroe. Moreover, the combination of selective top reflector and reflective optical cavity structure significantly boosts the waveguide efficiency in the LSC. As a result of many efforts, commercially available LSCs have been demonstrated and verified in the outdoor. Also, it is expected to generate electricity in buildings by replacing conventional glass to LSCs.

Studies were conducted to determine the effects of temperature, solute potential and carbon source on the mycelial growth, sclerotia development, and apothecium production of an isolate of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Mycelial growth rate was greatest at $25^{\circ}C$ on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium amended with up to 2% NaCl (${\psi}s{\leq}1.91\;MPa$) and thereafter, growth rate declined. The least number of sclerotia were produced at $20^{\circ}C$on both PDA and malt extract agar (MEA) amended with 8% NaCl (${\psi}s=6.62\;MPa$). With increasing temperature and decreasing solute potential the number and size of sclerotia were significantly reduced. The combined effect of temperature, solute potential and carbon source on sclerotia production were highly significant and had an impact on the development of the rind layer cells of sclerotia. These cells lacked a transparent cell wall which was surrounded by a compact melanized layer, and some of these cells appeared to be devoid of cell contents or were totally vacuolated. The survival of the sclerotia with increase in salinity and temperature appeared to affect melanization and the nature of the rind cells. The observations of this study re-enforces the need for an integrated disease management to control S. sclerotiorum.

석유 고갈의 시대에 저가이면서 반투명한 특징을 갖고 있는 염료감응형 태양전지(DSC)는 1991년 $Gr{\ddot{a}}tzel$의 연구결과 보고 이후 많은 주목을 받아왔다. 염료감응형 태양전지의 광전극의 빛 수확 성능을 증진시키고, 궁극적으로 광전변환효율을 향상시키기 위하여 다양한 구조를 갖는 산란층이 광전극 소재로 제안되었다. DSC 광전극의 산란층에서 산란의 중심으로는 지름이 250 - 300 nm 정도의 크기를 갖는 비교적 큰 이산화티탄 나노입자가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 변형된 졸겔 공정을 이용하여 약 300 nm 크기의 이산화티탄 나노결정을 합성하였다. XRD와 TEM 분석결과에 의하면, 합성된 이산화티탄 나노입자는 아나타제 상의 단결정 특성을 나타내었다. 합성된 이산화티탄 나노입자를 이용하여 스핀 코팅 공정으로 제조된 이산화티탄 박막의 광학적 투과율은 550 nm 파장에서 약 50%로 측정되었다. 이처럼 적당한 투과율은 DSC 산란층의 산란 중심으로 사용하기에 적합하며, DSC의 광전변환효율 향상에 적절하게 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
