Cu-Ti thin films were fabricated using a combinatorial sputtering system to realize highly sensitive surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. The Cu-Ti sample library was grown with various chemical compositions and electrical resistivity, providing important information for selecting the most suitable materials for SAW devices. Considering that acoustic waves generated from piezoelectric materials are significantly affected by the resistivity and density of interdigital transducer (IDT) electrodes, three types of Cu-Ti thin films with different Cu contents were fabricated. The thickness of the Cu-Ti thin films used in the SAW-IDT electrode was fixed at 150 nm. As the Cu content of the Cu-Ti films was increased from 31.2 to 71.3 at%, the resistivity decreased from 10.5 to 5.8 × 10-5 ohm-cm, and the density increased from 5.5 to 7.3 g/cm3, respectively. A SAW device composed of Cu-Ti IDT electrodes resonated at exactly 143 MHz without frequency shifts, but the full width at half maximum (FWHM) values of the resonant frequency gradually increased as the Cu content increased. This means that although the increase in Cu content in the Cu-Ti thin film helps to improve the electrical properties of the IDT electrode, the increased density of the IDT electrode deteriorates the acoustic performance of SAW devices.

We explored the effect of galaxy-galaxy interaction on the FIR-radio correlation of star-forming galaxies by comparing the qFIR parameter distribution between interacting and non-interacting galaxies. Our sample galaxies were selected from the SDSS Stripe 82 region, where relatively deep optical images are available in addition to ancillary FIR and radio data. The qFIR values were 2.73±0.49 and 2.53±0.90 for interacting and non-interacting galaxies, respectively. The t-test results indicated that the difference in qFIR values between the two categories is not statistically significant. Our findings align with those of previous studies suggesting that either FIR excess or radio excess occurs only transiently during brief timescales in the merger stages, rather than persisting throughout the majority of merger events identified by features such as tidal tails or double nuclei.

GMDSS 도입 이후에도 많은 해난사고가 증가하고 있다. 선박에서 사람이 물에 빠진 경우 구조신호를 전달하는 방법은 현 재 다양한 방법으로 연구 및 개발되고 있지만, 해상이동업무용으로 지정된 주파수를 사용하는 제품의 개발은 이루어진 바 없다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 ITU의 최신 개정안을 통해 도입이 결정된 종별 B AMRD 기술을 적용하여 MOB 장치를 설계하고 제작해 보았 다. 또한 제작된 송신기의 성능을 확인하기 위해 수신기와 사용자 인터페이스를 제작하여 기존의 전자해도와 연동해서 사용할 수 있 음을 확인하였다. 본 논문을 통해 AIS기술을 이용하는 종별 B의 AMRD 일반조건과 기술조건을 만족하고 해상환경에서 휴대가 쉽도 록 소형화하기 위한 집적화된 소자를 선택하여 MOB 장치를 설계 및 구현해 봄으로써 AIS의 우수한 통신이 실현되고 긴급 상황에서 신속한 대응 및 안전에 핵심적인 역할을 담당할 것이라 기대한다.
