We investigated the detection properties of nitrogen monoxide (NO) gas using transparent p-type CuAlO2 thin film gas sensors. The CuAlO2 film was fabricated on an indium tin oxide (ITO)/glass substrate by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), and then the transparent p-type CuAlO2 active layer was formed by annealing. Structural and optical characterizations revealed that the transparent p-type CuAlO2 layer with a thickness of around 200 nm had a non-crystalline structure, showing a quite flat surface and a high transparency above 65 % in the range of visible light. From the NO gas sensing measurements, it was found that the transparent p-type CuAlO2 thin film gas sensors exhibited the maximum sensitivity to NO gas in dry air at an operating temperature of 180˚C. We also found that these CuAlO2 thin film gas sensors showed reversible and reliable electrical resistance-response to NO gas in the operating temperature range. These results indicate that the transparent p-type semiconductor CuAlO2 thin films are very promising for application as sensing materials for gas sensors, in particular, various types of transparent p-n junction gas sensors. Also, these transparent p-type semiconductor CuAlO2 thin films could be combined with an n-type oxide semiconductor to fabricate p-n heterojunction oxide semiconductor gas sensors.

Over the past few decades, high-nitrogen austenitic steels have steadily received greater attention since they provide a unique combination of high strength and ductility, good corrosion resistance, and non-magnetic properties. Recently, highnitrogen 18Mn-18Cr austenitic steels with enhanced strength have been developed and widely used for generator retaining rings in order to prevent the copper wiring from being displaced by the centrifugal forces occurring during high-speed rotation. The high-nitrogen austenitic steels for generator retaining ring should be expanded at room temperature and then stress relief annealed at around 400˚C to achieve the required mechanical properties. In this study, four kinds of high-nitrogen 18Mn-18Cr austenitic steels with different nitrogen content were fabricated by using a pressurized vacuum induction melting furnace, and then the effects of nitrogen content, cold working, and stress relieving on tensile properties were investigated. The yield and tensile strengths increased proportionally with increasing nitrogen content and cold working, and they further increased after stress relieving treatment. Based on these results, a semi-empirical equation was proposed to predict the tensile strength of highnitrogen 18Mn-18Cr austenitic steels for generator retaining rings. It will be a useful for the effective fabrication of high-nitrogen 18Mn-18Cr austenitic steels for generator retaining rings with the required tensile properties.

In this study, by using nickel chloride solution as a raw material, a nano-sized nickel oxide powder with an average particle size below 50 nm was produced by spray pyrolysis reaction. A spray pyrolysis system was specially designed and built for this study. The influence of nozzle tip size on the properties of the produced powder was examined. When the nozzle tip size was 1 mm, the particle size distribution was more uniform than when other nozzle tip sizes were used and the average particle size of the powder was about 15 nm. When the nozzle tip size increases to 2 mm, the average particle size increases to roughly 20 nm, and the particle size distribution becomes more uneven. When the tip size increases to 3 mm, particles with an average size of 25 nm and equal to or less than 10 nm coexist and the particle size distribution becomes much more uneven. When the tip size increases to 5 mm, large particles with average size of 50 nm partially exist, mostly consisting of minute particles with average sizes in the range of 15~25 nm. When the tip size increases from 1 mm to 2 mm, the XRD peak intensities greatly increase while the specific surface area decreases. When the tip size increases to 3 mm, the XRD peak intensities decrease while the specific surface area increases. When the tip size increases to 5 mm, the XRD peak intensities increase again while the specific surface area decreases.

Mo-based thin films are frequently used as back electrode materials because of their low resistivity and high crystallinity in CIGS chalcopyrite solar cells. Mo:Na/Mo bilayer thin films with 1μm thickness were deposited on soda lime glass by varying the thickness of each layer using dc-magnetron sputtering. The effects of the Mo:Na layer on morphology and electrical property in terms of resistivity were systematically investigated. The resistivity increased from 159μΩcm to 944μΩcm; this seemed to be caused by increased surface defects and low crystallinity as the thickness of Mo:Na layer increased from 100 nm to 500 nm. The surface morphologies of the Mo thin films changed from a somewhat coarse fibrous structures to irregular and fine celled structures with increased surface cracks along the cell boundaries as the thickness of Mo:Na layer increased. Na contents varied drastically from 0.03 % to 0.52 % according to the variation of Mo:Na layer thickness. The change in Na content may be ascribed to changes in surface morphology and crystallinity of the thin films.

To evaluate the development of the microstructure and mechanical properties on surface modified and post-heat-treated Inconel 718 alloy, this study was carried out. A friction stir process as a surface modification method was employed,and overlap welded Inconel 718 alloy as an experimental material was selected. The friction stir process was carried out ata tool rotation speed of 200 rpm and tool down force of 19.6-39.2kN; post-heat-treatment with two steps was carried out at720oC for 8h and 620oC for 6h in vacuum. To prevent the surface oxidation of the specimen, the method of using argongas as shielding was utilized during the friction stir process. As a result, applying the friction stir process was effective todevelop the grain refinement accompanied by dynamic recrystallization, which resulted in enhanced mechanical properties ascompared to the overlap welded material. Furthermore, the post-heat-treatment after the friction stir process accelerated theformation of precipitates, such as gamma prime (γ') and MC carbides, which led to the significant improvement of mechanicalproperties. Consequently, the microhardness, yield, and tensile strengths of the post-heat-treated material were increased morethan 110%, 124% and 85%, respectively, relative to the overlap welded material. This study systematically examined therelationship between precipitates and mechanical properties.

Fly ash is one of the aluminosilicate sources used for the synthesis of geopolymers. The particle size distribution of fly ash and the content of unburned carbon residue are known to affect the compressive strength of geopolymers. In this study, the effects of particle size and unburned carbon content of fly ash on the compressive strength of geopolymers have been studied over a compositional range in geopolymer gels. Unburned carbon was effectively separated in the -46μm fraction using an air classifier and the fixed carbon content declined from 3.04 wt% to 0.06 wt%. The mean particle size (d50) decreased from 22.17μm to 10.79μm. Size separation of fly ash by air classification resulted in reduced particle size and carbon residue content with a collateral increase in reactivity with alkali activators. Geopolymers produced from carbon-free ash, which was separated by air classification, developed up to 50 % higher compressive strength compared to geopolymers synthesized from raw ash. It was presumed that porous carbon particles hinder geopolymerization by trapping vitreous spheres in the pores of carbon particles and allowing them to remain intact in spite of alkaline attack. The microstructure of the geopolymers did not vary considerably with compressive strength, but the highest connectivity of the geopolymer gel network was achieved when the Si/Al ratio of the geopolymer gel was 5.0.

The electrical and optical properties of fluorine-doped tin oxide films grown on polyethylene terephthalate film witha hardness of 3 using electron cyclotron resonance plasma with linear microwave of 2.45GHz of high ionization energy wereinvestigated. Fluorine-doped tin oxide films with a magnetic field of 875 Gauss and the highest resistance uniformity wereobtained. In particular, the magnetic field could be controlled by varying the distribution in electron cyclotron depositionpositions. The films were deposited at various gas flow rates of hydrogen and carrier gas of an organometallic source. Thesurface morphology, electrical resistivity, transmittance, and color in the visible range of the deposited film were examined usingSEM, a four-point probe instrument, and a spectrophotometer. The electromagnetic field for electron cyclotron resonancecondition was uniformly formed in at a position 16cm from the center along the Z-axis. The plasma spatial distribution ofmagnetic current on the roll substrate surface in the film was considerably affected by the electron cyclotron systems. Therelative resistance uniformity of electrical properties was obtained in film prepared with a magnetic field in the current rangeof 180~200A. SEM images showing the surface morphologies of a film deposited on PET with a width of 50cm revealedthat the grains were uniformly distributed with sizes in the range of 2~7nm. In our experimental range, the electrical resistivityof film was able to observe from 1.0×10−2 to 1.0×10−1Ωcm where optical transmittance at 550nm was 87~89%. Theseproperties were depended on the flow rate of the gas, hydrogen and carrier gas of the organometallic source, respectively.

This study investigated the continuous cooling transformation, microstructure, and mechanical properties of highstrength low-alloy steels containing B and Cu. Continuous cooling transformation diagrams under non-deformed and deformed conditions were constructed by means of dilatometry, metallographic methods, and hardness data. Based on the continuous cooling transformation behaviors, six kinds of steel specimens with different B and Cu contents were fabricated by a thermomechanical control process comprising controlled rolling and accelerated cooling. Then, tensile and Charpy impact tests were conducted to examine the correlation of the microstructure with mechanical properties. Deformation in the austenite region promoted the formation of quasi-polygonal ferrite and granular bainite with a significant increase in transformation start temperatures. The mechanical test results indicate that the B-added steel specimens had higher strength and lower upper-shelf energy than the B-free steel specimens without deterioration in low-temperature toughness because their microstructures were mostly composed of lower bainite and lath martensite with a small amount of degenerate upper bainite. On the other hand, the increase of Cu content from 0.5 wt.% to 1.5 wt.% noticeably increased yield and tensile strengths by 100 MPa without loss of ductility, which may be attributed to the enhanced solid solution hardening and precipitation hardening resulting from veryfine Cu precipitates formed during accelerated cooling.

This paper investigates the effect of prolonged high temperature exposure on concentric laminated Al2O3-ZrO2 composites. An ultrafine scale microstructure with a cellular 7 layer concentric lamination with unidirectional alignment was fabricated by a multi-pass extrusion method. Each laminate in the microstructure was 2-3μm thick. An alternate lamina was composed of 75%Al2O3-(25%m-ZrO2) and t-ZrO2 ceramics. The composite was sintered at 1500˚C and subjected to 1450˚C temperature for 24 hours to 72 hours. We investigated the effect of long time high temperature exposure on the generation of residual stress and grain growth and their effect on the overall stability of the composites. The residual stress development and its subsequent effect on the microstructure with the edge cracking behavior mechanism were investigated. The residual stress in the concentric laminated microstructure causes extensive micro cracks in the t-ZrO2 layer, despite the very thin laminate thickness. The material properties like Vickers hardness and fracture toughness were measured and evaluated along with the microstructure of the composites with prolonged high temperature exposure.

Two types of Tb- and Na-substituted green phosphors Ca(1-1.5x)WO4: and Ca(1-2x)WO4: weresynthesized with various x values, using a solid-state reaction. The former phosphors contained both substitutional and vacancypoint defects, while the later had only substitutional defects. X-ray diffraction results showed that the main diffraction peak,(112), was centered at 2θ=28.72o and indicated that there was no basic structural deformation caused by substitutions orvacancies. The photoluminescence emission and photoluminescence excitation spectra revealed the optical properties of trivalentterbium ions, Tb3+. Typical transitions, 5D3→7F6, 7F5, 7F4 and 5D4→7F6, 7F5, 7F4, 7F3, and cross relaxations were observed.Subtle differences in the photoluminescence of green phosphors were observed as a result of the point defects. The FT-IRspectra indicated that some of the ungerade vibrational modes had shifted positions and changed shapes, spreading out overa wide range of frequencies. This change can be attributed to the different masses of Tb3+ and Na+ ions and VCa" vacanciescompared to Ca2+ ions. The gerade normal modes of the Raman spectra exhibited subtle differences resulting from point defectsin Ca(1-1.5x)TbxWO4 and Ca(1-2x)TbxNaxWO4.
