We present Near-IR photometry of the Arches cluster, a young and massive stellar cluster near the Galactic center. We have analyzed the high resolution (FWHM ~ 0.2") H and K" band images in the Galactic Center Demonstration Science Data Set, which were obtained with the Gemini/Hokupa's adaptive optics (AO) system. We present the color-magnitude diagram, the luminosity function and the initial mass function (IMF) of the stars in the Arches cluster in comparison with the HST/NICMOS data. The IMF slope for the range of 1.0 < log (M/M⊙) < 2.1 is estimated to be Γ = -0.79 ± 0.16, in good agreements with the earlier result based on the HST/NICMOS data [Figer et al. 1999, ApJ, 525, 750]. These results strengthen the evidence that the IMF of the bright. stars close to the Galactic center is much flatter than that for the solar neighborhood. This is also consistent with a recent finding that the IMFs of the bright stars in young clusters in M33 get flatter as the galactocentric distance decreases [Lee et al. 2001, astro-ph 0109258]. It is found that the power of the Gemini/ AO system is comparable, with some limits, to that of the HST/NICMOS.

We derive a new relationship between the giant branch slope as measured in the color-magnitude diagram (K, J - K) and [Fe/H] metallicity for old open clusters. Previously such relationships have been derived for globular clusters, while similar tendency has been expected for open clusters. New derived correlation, [Fe/H]=-17.2(±0.23)GB slope - 1.95(±0.02), is based on a collection of data for 10 old open clusters. Most clusters behave as expected from the theoretical predictions.

상부전극, Pt, Ir, 그리고 IrO2, 에 따라 수소 열처리전과 후, 그리고 회복열처리시 누설전류특성을 고찰하였다. Pt/PLZT/Pt 케페시터는 수소열처리 후에 다시 회복열처리를 수행하면 완전히 이력곡선의 회복을 보이며 또한 피로특성도 거의 회복 된다. Pt과 IrO2 상부전극의 경우의 진 누설전류 특성은 열처리조건에 관계없이 강한 시간 의존성을 갖는 space-charge influenced injection모델에 적합하다. 반면에 Ir 상부전극의 경우는 Ir과 PLZT 사이의 계면에 헝성된 전도성 상인 IrO2로 인해 높은 누설전류 밀도를 보이면서 relaxation current 영역이 없이 steady state 영역을 보이는, 주로 Schottky barrier 모델에 의해 설명된다.
