With the world's fast expanding energy usage comes a slew of new issues. Because one-third of energy is lost in overcoming friction, tremendous effort is being directed into minimizing friction. Surface texturing is the latest surface treatment technology that uses grooves and dimples on the friction surface of the machine to significantly reduce friction and improve wear resistance. Despite the fact that many studies on this issue have been conducted, most of them focused on parallel surfaces, with relatively few cases of converging films, as in most sliding bearings. This study investigated the lubrication performance of surface-textured inclined slider bearings. We analyzed the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations using a commercial computational fluid dynamics code, FLUENT. The results show the pressure and velocity distributions and the lubrication performance according to the number and orientation of rectangular dimples. Partial texturing somewhat improves the lubrication performance of inclined slider bearings. The number of dimples with the maximum load-carrying capacity (LCC) and minimum friction is determined. When the major axis of the dimple is arranged in the sliding direction, the LCC and friction reduction are maximized. However, full texturing significantly reduces the LCC of the slider bearing and increases the flow rate. The results have the potential to improve the lubrication performance of various sliding bearings, but further research is required.

배수불량한 사질답에서는 유해성분 집적과 냉수용출 등으로 인하여 벼 뿌리가 심층으로 뻗지 못하고, 뿌리의 노화가 빨라서 도복을 일으키기 쉽다. 질소의 용출과 손실이 적은 완효성 비료(피복요소)를 표충 및 전층시용하여 질소질비료의 효율을 높이고, 생력화 재배에 기여코자 하였다. 식물체의 총질소 함량은 피복요소비료 표층시용구에서 가장 높았고, 요소비료 표층시용구에서 가장 낮았으며, 표토 중의 암모니아태 질소함량도 같은 경향이었다. 토심별 뿌리의 무게도 피복요소의 표층시용구에서 가장 많았으며, 모든 구에서 0-5cm 깊이에 약 50%정도의 뿌리가 분포하였다. 벼수량은 피복요소 표층시용구>요소비료 전층시용구=피복요소 전층시용구>요소비료 표층시용구의 순으로 많았으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 수확기 질소흡수량과 이용율은 피복요소비료 표층시용구> 피복요소비료 전층시용구>요소비료 전층시용구>요소비료 표층시용구의 순으로 높았다. 이상의 결과로 보아 습답에서 완효성 질소비료를 표층를 표층시비 함으로써 증수되지는 않았으나 질소시비량의 30%를 절감하면서 추비노력을 경감시킬 수 있었다.

[ $CeO_2$ ]has been widely used for single buffer layer of coated conductor because of superior chemical and structural compatibility with $ReBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$(Re=Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Ho, etc.). But, the surface of $CeO_2$ layer showed cracks because of the large difference in thermal expansion coefficient between metal substrate and deposited $CeO_2$ layer, when thickness of $CeO_2$ layer exceeds 100 nm on the biaxially textured Ni-3%W substrate. The deposition rate has been limited to be less than 6 $\AA$/sec in order to get a good epitaxy. In this research, we deposited $CeO_2$ single buffer layers on biaxially textured Ni-3%W substrate with 2-step process such as thin nucleation layer(>10 nm) with low deposition rate(3 $\AA$/sec) and thick homo epitaxial layer(>240 nm) with high deposition rate(30 $\AA$/sec). Effect of deposition temperature on degree of texture development was tested. Thick homo epitaxial $CeO_2$ layer with good texture without crack was obtained at $600^{\circ}C$, which has ${\Delta}{\phi}$ value of $6.2^{\circ}$, ${\Delta}{\omega}$ value of $4.3^{\circ}$ and average surface roughness(Ra) of 7.2 nm within $10{\mu}m{\times}10{\mu}m$ area. This result shows the possibility of preparing advanced Ni substrate with simplified architecture of single $CeO_2$ layer for low cost coated conductor.

In this research, the effect of normal load, sliding velocity, and texture density on thefriction coefficient of surfaces micro-textured on AISI 4140 under paraffin oil lubrication were investigated. The predicted tribological behavior by numerical calculation can be serves as guidance for the designer during the machine development stage. Therefore, in this research friction coefficient prediction model based on response surface methodology (RSM), support vector machine (SVM), and artificial neural network (ANN) were developed. The experimental result shows that the variation of load, speed and texture density were influence the friction coefficient. The RSM, ANN and SVM model was successfully developed based on the experimental data. The ANN model can effectively predict the tribological characteristics of micro-textured AISI 4140 in paraffin oil lubrication condition compare to RSM and SVM.

다결정 실리콘 태양전지 표면의 광흡수율을 극대화시키기 위하여 플라즈마기반의 reactive ion etching (RIE) 공정을 적용하였으며 maskless 표면 texturing조건을 최적화하여 310~1,100 nm 파장대역의 평균 표면반사율을 $4{\pm}1%$ 내외로 감소시킬 수 있는 grass-like 한 블랙실리콘을 제조할 수 있었다. Saw damage를 가진 $15.6{\times}15.6\;cm^2$ bare 웨이퍼에서부터 중요 공정단계별로 처리된 시료들의 평균반사율, 표면형상, 소수운반자 수명 등의 위치분포를 측정하여 최종 제작된 태양전지의 광전변환효율과 외부양자효율 등과 비교 검토하여 고효율 다결정 실리콘 태양전지 양산에 필요한 표면 texturing 조건들을 연구하였다. 평균 반사율을 4% 이하로 감소시키는 texturing 공정조건에서 웨이퍼 중앙에서 가장자리로 갈 수록 표면구조의 깊이 2배 반치폭 3배의 불균일성이 발생하였으며 이에 따라 입사광자의 다중반사확률이 높아져 평균반사율이 1% 정도 낮아지는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 비반사막이 코팅된 시료에서 측정된 소수운반자수명분포도 중앙에서 가장자리로 갈수록 약 40% 이상 더 긴 수명을 갖는 것으로 밝혀져 표면구조의 크기에 따른 사이즈효과가 발생하는 것으로 판단된다. 제조된 태양전지의 위치에 따른 광전변환효율도 낮은 반사율과 더 긴 소수운반자수명을 갖는 가장자리에서 2% 가량 높은 광전변환효율을 보였으며, 380~1,100nm 파장대역의 외부양자효율 측정결과도 이를 뒷받침하고 있다. 균일한 에미터 층 형성 및 ARC 증착에 있어서 구조적으로 가장자리 부분의 구조가 유리한 것으로 예상되며, 동시에 표면 구조의 사이즈 효과 때문에 표면 재결합확률이 중앙보다 가장자리에서 더 감소되어 더 높은 광전변환효율을 보이는 것으로 해석된다.

In order to improve the efficiency and reliability of the machine, the friction should be minimized. The most widely used method to minimize friction is to maintain the fluid lubrication state. However, we can reduce friction only up to a certain limit because of viscosity. As a result of several recent studies, surface texturing has significantly reduced the friction in highly sliding machine elements, such as mechanical seals and thrust bearings. Thus far, theoretical studies have mainly focused on isothermal/iso-viscous conditions and have not taken into account the heat generation, caused by high viscous shear, and the temperature conditions on the bearing surface. In this study, we investigate the effect of dimple depth and film-temperature boundary conditions on the thermohydrodynamic (THD) lubrication of textured parallel slider bearings. We analyzed the continuity equation, the Navier-Stokes equation, the energy equation, and the temperature-viscosity and temperature-density relations using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. We compare the temperature and pressure distributions at various dimple depths. The increase in oil temperature caused by viscous shear was higher in the dimple than in the bearing outlet because of the action of the strong vortex generated in the dimple. The lubrication characteristics significantly change with variations in the dimple depths and film-temperature boundary conditions. We can use the current results as basic data for optimum surface texturing; however, further studies are required for various temperature boundary conditions.

High efficiency silicon solar cell requires the textured front surface to reduce reflectance and to improve the light trapping. In case of mono-crystalline silicon solar cell, wet etching with alkaline solution is widespread. However, the alkali texturing methods are ineffective in case of multi-crystalline silicon wafer due to grain boundary of random crystallographic orientation. The acid texturing method is generally used in multi-crystalline silicon wafer to reduce the surface reflectance. However the acid textured solar cell gives low short-circuit current due to high reflectivity while it improves the open-circuit voltage. To reduce the reflectivity of multi-crystalline silicon wafer, double texturing method with combination of acid and reactive ion etching is an attractive technical solution. In this paper, we have studied to optimize RIE experimental condition with change of RF power (100W, 150W, 200W, 250W, 300W). During experiment, the gas ratio of SF6 and O2 was fixed as 30:10.

The crystalline alignment of Ni substrates textured by RABiTS have a probability distribution in the surface plane. This makes it difficult to obtain a high quality of textures over all the range of a long Ni tape. In order to improve the textures of Ni tape, we have investigated a new method of texturing. We obtained non-cube textured Ni tapes by rolling and annealing a high purity Ni. In these tapes, the [001]-axes were tilted around the rolling direction, and the [100]-axes were parallel to the rolling direction. The average grain size was several cm$^2$. We deposited buffer layer (CeO$^2$/YSZ/CeO$^2$) and YBCO on those tapes. We found out that a YBCO film with grows normal with respect to the surface and this feature is independent of the tilting angles of the Ni [001]-axes.

CeO$_2$ and NiO buffers for YBCO coated conductors were deposited on biaxially textured Ni substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) and the deposition behavior were investigated. The degree of texture of deposited CeO$_2$ and NiO films was strongly dependent on the deposition temperature(T$\sub$d/) and oxygen partial pressure(P$\sub$O$_2$/). ($\ell$00) textured films were well deposited at specific deposition temperatures and oxygen partial pressures. The in-plane and out of plane textures estimated form the full width half maximum of the pole figure peaks were less than 10$^{\circ}$. The surface morphology showed that the CeO$_2$ films consisted of columnar grains grown normal to the Ni substrates, while NiO films were slate and clean like a mirror. The surface roughness of both films estimated by atomic force microscopy(AFM) were as smooth as 3-10 m. The growth rate of the films is much faster than that of other physical deposition methods.

Polycrystalline silicon(poly-Si) films are deposited on low temperature glass substrate by Hot-Wire CVD(HWCVD). The structural properties of the poly-Si films are strongly dependent on the wire temperature($T_w$). The films deposited at high $T_w$ of 2000$^{\circ}C$ have superior crystalline properties; average lateral grain sizes are larger than $1{\mu}m$ and there at·e no vertical grain boundaries. The surface of the high $T_w$ samples are naturally textured like pyramid shape. These large grain size and textured surface are believed to give high current density when applied to solar cells. However, the poly-si films are structurally porous and contains high defect density, by which high concentration of C and O resulted within the films by air-penetration after removed from chamber.
