In situ on-axis rf magnetron sputtering 방법으로 Y1Ba2Cu4 2Ox의 비화학 양론적인 타게트를 사용하여 Tc, zero/-88.2K, δTc,<1.5K의 고온초전도 박막을 제조하고, 활성이온식각법으로 이 박막을 patterning하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. 제조된 패턴은 깨끗한 경계면을 가지고 있음이 관찰되었으며, 패턴 폭이 5μm에서 2μm로 좁아짐에 따라 임계온도와 임계전류밀도의 특성저하가 나타났으나, 그 저하폭이 크지 않아 소자로서 응용하기에 충분한 특성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 한편 RIE방법에 의하여 미크론 이하의 선폭 제조가능성을 확인하였다.

We have investigated drought periodicities occurred in Seoul to find out any indication of relationship between drought in Korea and solar activities. It is motivated, in view of solar-terrestrial connection, to search for an example of extreme weather condition controlled by solar activity. The periodicity of drought in Seoul has been re-examined using the wavelet transform technique as the consensus is not achieved yet. The reason we have chosen Seoul is because daily precipitation was recorded for longer than 200 years, which meets our requirement that analyses of drought frequency demand long-term historical data to ensure reliable estimates. We have examined three types of time series of the Effective Drought Index (EDI). We have directly analyzed EDI time series in the first place. And we have constructed and analyzed time series of histogram in which the number of days whose EDI is less than -1.5 for a given month of the year is given as a function of time, and one in which the number of occasions where EDI values of three consecutive days are all less than -1.5 is given as a function of time. All the time series data sets we analyzed are periodic. Apart from the annual cycle due to seasonal variations, periodicities shorter than the 11 year sunspot cycle, ~ 3, ~ 4, ~ 6 years, have been confirmed. Periodicities to which theses short periodicities (shorter than Hale period) may be corresponding are not yet known. Longer periodicities possibly related to Gleissberg cycles, ~ 55, ~ 120 years, can be also seen. However, periodicity comparable to the 11 year solar cycle seems absent in both EDI and the constructed data sets.
