We have synthesized bluish-green, highly-efficient BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ and (Ba,Sr)Si2O2N2:Eu2+ phosphors through aconventional solid state reaction method using metal carbonate, Si3N4, and Eu2O3 as raw materials. The X-ray diffraction (XRD)pattern of these phosphors revealed that a BaSi2O2N2 single phase was obtained. The excitation and emission spectra showedtypical broadband excitation and emission resulting from the 5d to 4f transition of Eu2+. These phosphors absorb blue light ataround 450nm and emit bluish-green luminescence, with a peak wavelength at around 495 nm. From the results of anexperiment involving Eu concentration quenching, the relative PL intensity was reduced dramatically for Eu=0.033. A smallsubstitution of Sr in place of Ba increased the relative emission intensity of the phosphor. We prepared several white LEDsthrough a combination of BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+, YAG:Ce3+, and silicone resin with a blue InGaN-based LED. In the case of onlythe YAG:Ce3+-converted LED, the color rendering index was 73.4 and the efficiency was 127lm/W. In contrast, in theYAG:Ce3+ and BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+-converted LED, two distinct emission bands from InGaN (450nm) and the two phosphors (475-750nm) are observed, and combine to give a spectrum that appears white to the naked eye. The range of the color renderingindex and the efficiency were 79.7-81.2 and 117-128 lm/W, respectively. The increased values of the color rendering indexindicate that the two phosphor-converted LEDs have improved bluish-green emission compared to the YAG:Ce-converted LED.As such, the BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ phosphor is applicable to white high-rendered LEDs for solid state lighting.

이 연구의 목적은 백색 LED 조명의 광학적 특성을 분석하고 그 특성에 따라 반응하는 학생과 교사들의 감성 반응을 평가하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 이 연구에서는 백색 LED모듈 5개를 시제품으로 만들어 광학적 특성을 측정하고 감성 평가용 모형을 제작하여 감성 반응을 평가하여 분석하였다. 감성 평가에 이용된 평가 방법은 의미미분법이고 선정된 문항은 16문항이며, 이 문항의 신뢰성과 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 예비 실험을 통하여 신뢰도 분석과 타당도 분석을 하였다. 이 과정에서 4가지 요인을 추출하였는데 제 1요인은 활동성, 제 2요인은 안정감, 제 3요인은 역량성, 제 4요인은 감성이미지 요인이라고 명명하였다. 색온도에 따른 감성 평가의 결과는 활동성과 역량성 요인에서는 색온도가 높은 조명을 선호하였으며 , 안정감 요인에서는 색온도가 낮은 조명을 선호하였다. 감성이미지 요인에서는 색온도와 관련 없이 5800K인 청색 계통의 조명을 선호하였다. 연색지수에 따른 감성 평가의 결과는 활동성, 안정감, 감성이미지 요인에서는 고연색 조명을 선호하였으며, 역량성 요인에서는 중 연색 조명을 선호하였다.

The purpose of this study is to improve robotics education in public education. This study was conducted with 157 secondary school teachers regardless of their gender, age and majors. The results are as follows: First, 68.2% of the respondents (81.2% of the STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)-related teachers) thought that robotics education should be included in public education because it will be a very important area in the future. Second, 73.3% of respondents (89.3% of the STEM-related teachers) agreed that robotics education will be worth teaching as a regular subject. The most important reason was that they thought the robots would be an excellent tool to initiate their class participation and increase their study motivation. Third, the results from this survey showed that the technology teachers would be the best suitable instructors for robotics education. Lastly, teachers felt a great deal of burden to teach robotics although they thought robotics education was necessary. In order to implement robotics education in public school, teachers think it is necessary to take professional training. In addition, teachers should be supported with the reduction in their workload along with sufficient fundings, educational robots such as LEGO MINDSTORMS, and newly designed teaching materials.
