Recently, colloidal core/shell type quantum dots lighting-emitting diodes (QDLEDs) have been extensively studied and developed for the future of optoelectronic applications. In the work, we fabricate an inverted CdSe/ZnS quantum dot (QD) based light-emitting diodes (QDLED)[1]. In order to reduce work function of indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode for inverted structure, a very thin (<10 nm) polyethylenimine ethoxylated (PEIE) is used as surface modifier[2] instead of conventional metal oxide electron injection layer. The PEIE layer substantially reduces the work function of ITO electrodes which is estimated to be 3.08 eV by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS). From transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study, CdSe/ZnS QDs are uniformly distributed and formed by a monolayer on PEIE layer. In this inverted QD LED, two kinds of hybrid organic materials, [poly (9,9-di-n-octyl-fluorene-alt-benzothiadiazolo)(F8BT) + poly(N,N'-bis (4-butylphenyl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)benzidine (poly-TPD)] and [4,4'-N,N'-dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP) + poly-TPD], were adopted as hole transport layer having high highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level for improving hole transport ability. At a low-operating voltage of 8 V, the device emits orange and red spectral radiation with high brightness up to 2450 and 1420 cd/m2, and luminance efficacy of 1.4 cd/A and 0.89 cd/A, respectively, at 7 V applied bias. Also, the carrier transport mechanisms for the QD LEDs are described by using several models to fit the experimental I-V data.

This paper presents the elastic buckling of smart lightweight column structures integrated with a pair of surface piezoelectric layers using artificial intelligence. The finite element modeling of Smart lightweight columns is found using $ANSYS^{(R)}$ software. Then, the first buckling load of the structure is calculated using eigenvalue buckling analysis. To determine the accuracy of the present finite element analysis, a compression study is carried out with literature. Later, parametric studies for length variations, width, and thickness of the elastic core and of the piezoelectric outer layers are performed and the associated buckling load data sets for artificial intelligence are gathered. Finally, the application of soft computing-based methods including artificial neural network (ANN), fuzzy inference system (FIS), and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) were carried out. A comparative study is then made between the mentioned soft computing methods and the performance of the models is evaluated using statistic measurements. The comparison of the results reveal that, the ANFIS model with Gaussian membership function provides high accuracy on the prediction of the buckling load in smart lightweight columns, providing better predictions compared to other methods. However, the results obtained from the ANN model using the feed-forward algorithm are also accurate and reliable.

With the object of developing a new magnetic core materials for high frequency use, the crystallization behaviors and the soft magnetic properties of amorphous $F_{86-x}Al_{4}B_{10}Zr_{x}\;(5{\leq}x{\leq}10\;at%)$ alloys subjected to annealing treatment at wide temperature range were investigated. For optimally annealed $Fe_{86-x}Al_{4}B_{10}Zr_{x}$ alloys in amorphous state, rather good soft magnetic properties of ${\mu}_{e}=17000~25000,\;H_{c}=20~30$ mOe and $B_{10}{\geq}0.6$ T are obtained. However, as the alloys crystallize, the soft magnetic properties are largely dergely deteriorated, which is attributed principally to the narrow temperature gap between $T_{x1}$ and $T_{x2}$, which allows the nearly co-precipitation of bcc phase and Fe-B compounds in incipient crystallization stage.

The 2nd phase of Seoul Subway, Lines 5,6,7 and 8, is in progress. To reduce the surface traffic congestion during construction the greater part of the system has been engineered by bored tunnelling. The current tunnelling methodology is based on the New Austrian Tunnelling Method. Serveral collapses have been reported to date. Most of the collapses took place in the area forwed with soft ground. The modes and causes of the collapses were progressive failures in the unsupported surface and sliding failures due to the unfavourable joint direction. The major causes turned out to be the weakness of ground and the sudden influx of ground water from the surface. Some measures to prevent the failures are also presented. To ensure the safe tunnelling ghrough the soft ground the unsupported excavation area has to be minimized and closed as early as possible. Additional support measures such as supporting core, sealing shotcrete, forepoling, spread footing, face rock bolting and grouting should be employed as well depend on ground conditions.

본 논문은 고속 전동기의 효율 개선을 위한 재료로서 많은 관심을 받고 있는 연자성 분말(Soft Magnetic Composite, SMC)을 적용한 고속 2상 4/2 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기 설계 및 SMC 재질이 효율 특성에 미치는 영향 분석에 대한 연구이다. 고속 전동기의 효율 개선을 위한 재료로써 많은 관심을 받고 있는 SMC는 자계적으로 등방성을 띠며, 절연 코팅이 되어 있는 철 분말들로 구성되어 있어 높은 주파수에서 전기 강판 대비 높은 전기 저항으로 와전류 손실을 최소화 할 수 있으며 분말을 압분하여 형상을 만들기 때문에 자유로운 3차원 설계 및 제작이 용이하고 제조 시 재료 소비의 절감과 재활용이 가능한 장점이 있다. 그러나 전기 강판 대비 낮은 비투자율, 낮은 기계적 강도, 저주파 대역에서 높은 철손 특성의 단점을 가지고 있어 SMC를 이용한 전자계 구조 설계 시 낮은 비투자율 특성과 뛰어난 와전류 손실 저감 특성 사이의 균형을 고려할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전기 강판을 사용하는 일반적인 2상 4/2 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기와의 비교를 통해 SMC 재질 적용이 정적 토크 및 효율 특성에 미치는 영향을 비교분석하여 설계를 진행하였다.

Innovative SMC with low iron loss was made from iron powders with evaporated MgO insulation coating. The coating had greater heat-resistance than conventional phosphatic insulation coating, which enabled stress relieving annealing at higher temperature. Magnetic properties of toroidal samples (OD35mm,ID25mm, t5) were examined. The iron loss at 50Hz for Bm = 1.5T was lower 50% of conventional SMC and was almost the same with silicon iron laminations(t0.35). It became clear that MgO insulation coating has enough heat resistance and adhesiveness to powdersurface to obtain innovative SMC with low iron loss.

This paper presents a soft switching converter to achieve the functions of zero voltage switching (ZVS) turn-on for the power switches and dc voltage step-up. Two circuit modules are connected in parallel in order to achieve load current sharing and to reduce the size of the transformer core. An active snubber is connected between two transformers in order to absorb the energy stored in the leakage and magnetizing inductances and to limit the voltage stresses across the switches. During the commutation stage of the two complementary switches, the output capacitance of the two switches and the leakage inductance of the transformers are resonant. Thus, the power switches can be turned on under ZVS. No output filter inductor is used in the proposed converter and the voltage stresses of the output diodes is clamped to the output voltage. The circuit configuration, the operation principles and the design considerations are presented. Finally, laboratory experiments with a 340W prototype, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed converter, are described.

We examined the magnetic properties as a function of annealing temperature of the as-quenched $Fe_{87}Zr_{7}B_{5}Ag_{1}$ amorphous alloy. The values of $H_{c}$=30m0e, $B_{a}$=0.44T and ${\mu}$i=146000 at $300^{\circ}C$ annealing treatment are obtained. The excel lent soft magnetic properties seem to result from the annihilation of quenching-Induced internal stress by the heat treatment and the change of microstructure due to the different relaxation behavior owing to adding insoluble element such as Ag. Therefore, the $Fe_{87}Zr_{7}B_{5}Ag_{1}$ amorphous alloy is quite promising for practical use as a core material in various transformers of high transformers of high frequency.
