본 연구는 로즈마리 다단재배 시 층별 환경조건 및 하위선반 보조 광원이 어린순 품질과 생산성에 미치는 영향을 구명하고 자 수행되었다. 정아를 제거한 커먼 로즈마리의 중간부 삽수 10cm를 128공 트레이에 삽목하여 발근시킨 뒤 750, 1,300, 2,000mL의 화분에 이식하였다. 이후 2연동 온실 내 다단선반 (3단)에 배치하여 저면관수 방식으로 재배하였다. 다단선반 층별 어린순 생산성은 3층(최상층)에서 가장 우수하였으나, 여름철 광 과다에 의한 줄기 목질화로 9월 이후 생산성이 급감 하였다. 반면 하위 2개 층은 재배 후기까지 어린순의 생장속도 가 빨랐으나, 줄기 연화 및 엽 상편생장으로 품질이 감소하였 다. 다단선반 3층 여름철 광 과다 문제 해결을 위해 7, 8월 30% 차광 재배시 무차광 대비 단위 면적당 어린순 수확 줄기수 210%, 생체중 162% 증수하였다. 하위층 광 부족 문제를 개선 하고자 보조 광원 설치 재배 시 LED 30W에서 6-9월 어린순 수확량이 보조광원 미설치 대비 168% 증가하였으나, 9월 이 후 오히려 생산성을 감소시켰다. 따라서 로즈마리 다단재배 시 3층(최상층)은 7-8월 30% 차광으로 줄기 목질화를 막고, 하 위층은 6-9월 LED 30W로 일시적 보광을 통해 어린순 생육 을 증대시킨다면 어린순 집약생산이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
본 연구는 로즈마리 다단재배 시 근권부 용적이 어린순 생산성에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 정아를 제거한 커먼 로즈마리의 중간부 삽수 10cm를 128공 트레이에 삽목 하여 발근시킨 뒤 125, 200, 550, 750, 1,300 및 2,000mL의 용 기에 이식하여 1, 2년생 삽목묘 어린순의 생육특성과 수량성 을 비교하였다. 1년생 로즈마리의 경우 초기 생육(이식 후 30 일)은 용기 550mL 이상에서 처리 간 뚜렷한 차이가 없었으나, 2년생 로즈마리의 경우 용기가 클수록 생육이 비례하는 경향 을 보였다. 1, 2년생 로즈마리의 지하부 생체중은 용기 550mL 에서 7월 25일 조사 시 각각 6.9g, 24.4g, 11월 24일 조사 시 각 각 10.3g, 24.9g으로 가장 낮았고, 용기 750-2,000mL에서 는 처리 간 차이가 보이지 않았다. 반면 지상부 생체중은 1년 생 로즈마리의 경우 용기가 클수록 증가하다가 1,300mL 이 상에서는 통계적 차이가 없었으며, 2년생 로즈마리 역시 용기 가 클수록 생체중이 유의하게 높았다. 어린순 품질은 1년생 로 즈마리의 경우 용기 2,000mL에서 가장 우수하였으나, 2년생 로즈마리의 경우 시기별 품질 차이를 보였다. 단위 화분당 어 린순 생산성은 1,300mL에서 가장 높았으나, 단위 면적당으 로 환산할 경우 750mL에서 가장 우수하게 관찰되었다. 따라 서 로즈마리 어린순 다단재배를 통한 집약생산에 가장 적합한 용기 크기는 750mL로 판단된다.
In this study, polyimide (PI)-based activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were prepared for application as electrode materials in electric double-layer capacitors by varying the steam activation time for the PI fiber prepared under identical cross-linking conditions. The surface morphology and microcrystal structural characteristics of the prepared PI-ACFs were observed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry, respectively. The textural properties (specific surface area, pore volume, and pore size distribution) of the ACFs were calculated using the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, Barrett–Joyner–Halenda, and non-local density functional theory equations based on N2/ 77 K adsorption isotherm curve measurements. From the results, the specific surface area and total pore volume of PI-ACFs were determined to be 760–1550 m2/ g and 0.36–1.03 cm3/ g, respectively. It was confirmed that the specific surface area and total pore volume tended to continuously increase with the activation time. As for the electrochemical properties of PI-ACFs, the specific capacitance increased from 9.96 to 78.64 F/g owing to the developed specific surface area as the activation time increased.
The aggressive scaling of dynamic random-access memory capacitors has increased the need to maintain high capacitance despite the limited physical thickness of electrodes and dielectrics. This makes it essential to use high-k dielectric materials. TiO2 has a large dielectric constant, ranging from 30~75 in the anatase phase to 90~170 in rutile phase. However, it has significant leakage current due to low energy barriers for electron conduction, which is a critical drawback. Suppressing the leakage current while scaling to achieve an equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) below 0.5 nm is necessary to control the influence of interlayers on capacitor performance. For this, Pt and Ru, with their high work function, can be used instead of a conventional TiN substrate to increase the Schottky barrier height. Additionally, forming rutile-TiO2 on RuO2 with excellent lattice compatibility by epitaxial growth can minimize leakage current. Furthermore, plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) can be used to deposit a uniform thin film with high density and low defects at low temperatures, to reduce the impact of interfacial reactions on electrical properties at high temperatures. In this study, TiO2 was deposited using PEALD, using substrates of Pt and Ru treated with rapid thermal annealing at 500 and 600 °C, to compare structural, chemical, and electrical characteristics with reference to a TiN substrate. As a result, leakage current was suppressed to around 10-6 A/cm2 at 1 V, and an EOT at the 0.5 nm level was achieved.
In this study, two alignment methods were used to create a Fringe-Field Switching (FFS) mode liquid crystal device using an organic thin film (polyimide: PI) as an alignment layer. In addition, the electro-optical (EO) characteristics of the liquid crystal device manufactured in this way were investigated to evaluate the feasibility of mass production application of the technology. In general, the photo-alignment method using unpolarized ultraviolet rays can obtain a relatively low pretilt angle, so a liquid crystal device in FFS mode, which is a driving mode of the liquid crystal device that reflects the characteristics of liquid crystal alignment, was manufactured, and the liquid crystal has a high reactivity with the alignment film. Considering this, nematic liquid crystal (NLC) was used. In addition, in order to improve the misalignment, it was observed whether more stable orientation occurred by irradiating ultraviolet rays for an additional 1 to 3 hours in the aligned state. As a result of the experiment, it was found that NLC alignment occurs through a photodecomposition reaction caused by unpolarized UV irradiation oblique to the PI surface. In addition to the existing orientation method, UV irradiation was used to achieve a more stable orientation state and stable V-T curve and response characteristics. With liquid crystal alignment completed, more stable orientation characteristics and EO characteristics at the mass production level were obtained through additional UV irradiation for 3 hours. This method can further stabilize the orientation stability caused by existing UV irradiation through an additional process.
Nano-oxide dispersion–strengthened (ODS) superalloys have attracted attention because of their outstanding mechanical reinforcement mechanism. Dispersed oxides increase the material’s strength by preventing grain growth and recrystallization, as well as increasing creep resistance. In this research, atomic layer deposition (ALD) was applied to synthesize an ODS alloy. It is useful to coat conformal thin films even on complex matrix shapes, such as nanorods or powders. We coated an Nb-Si–based superalloy with TiO2 thin film by using rotary-reactor type thermal ALD. TiO2 was grown by controlling the deposition recipe, reactor temperature, N2 flow rate, and rotor speed. We could confirm the formation of uniform TiO2 film on the surface of the superalloy. This process was successfully applied to the synthesis of an ODS alloy, which could be a new field of ALD applications.
Molten salt reactors represent a promising advancement in nuclear technology due to their potential for enhanced safety, higher efficiency, and reduced nuclear waste. However, the development of structural materials that can survive under severe corrosion environments is crucial. In the present work, pure Ni was deposited on the surface of 316H stainless steel using a directed energy deposition (DED) process. This study aimed to fabricate pure Ni alloy layers on an STS316H alloy substrate. It was observed that low laser power during the deposition of pure Ni on the STS316H substrate could induce stacking defects such as surface irregularities and internal voids, which were confirmed through photographic and SEM analyses. Additionally, the diffusion of Fe and Cr elements from the STS316H substrate into the Ni layers was observed to decrease with increasing Ni deposition height. Analysis of the composition of Cr and Fe components within the Ni deposition structures allows for the prediction of properties such as the corrosion resistance of Ni.

As the limitations of Moore’s Law become evident, there has been growing interest in advanced packaging technologies. Among various 3D packaging techniques, Cu-SiO2 hybrid bonding has gained attention in heterogeneous devices. However, certain issues, such as its high-temperature processing conditions and copper oxidation, can affect electrical properties and mechanical reliability. Therefore, we studied depositing only a heterometal on top of the Cu in Cu-SiO2 composite substrates to prevent copper surface oxidation and to lower bonding process temperature. The heterometal needs to be deposited as an ultra-thin layer of less than 10 nm, for copper diffusion. We established the process conditions for depositing a Co film using a Co(EtCp)2 precursor and utilizing plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD), which allows for precise atomic level thickness control. In addition, we attempted to use a growth inhibitor by growing a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) material, octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODTS), on a SiO2 substrate to selectively suppress the growth of Co film. We compared the growth behavior of the Co film under various PEALD process conditions and examined their selectivity based on the ODTS growth time.
In this work, the trend in the performance of carbon fiber (CF) and its composite during self-polymerization of polydopamine (PDA) at carbon fiber surface was investigated by varying the self-polymerization time of dopamine in an aqueous solution. Research has shown that the PDA coating elevated the surface roughness and polarity of the inert fiber. The tensile strength of single carbon fiber was significantly improved, especially after 9 h of polydopamine self-polymerization, increasing by 18.64% compared with that of desized carbon fiber. Moreover, the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of CF-PDA9-based composites was 35.06% higher than that of desized CF-based composites. This research will provide a deep insight into the thickness and activated ingredients of dopamine oxidation and self-polymerization on interfacial compatibility of carbon fiber/epoxy resin composites.
Achieving cost-effective and defect-free graphene sheets is highly desirable for sensor devices. Aiming this, few-layer graphene (~ 3) sheets are prepared by an electrochemical exfoliation with [NMP] [ HSO4] electrolyte (i.e., Bronsted acidic ionic liquid). A novel approach for the effective exfoliation of graphene sheets is demonstrated by (i) simultaneously applying a constant potential through an electrochemical cell (with different electrolyte concentrations) and (ii) together with sonication. The exfoliated graphene sheets are characterized through state-of-the-art techniques and sprayed on a glass substrate at optimum conditions. Thus, the transparent conducting sensor device is fabricated with a suitable contact electrode and used for ammonia vapor sensing and the sensor performances are highly dependent on the concentration of the ionic liquid used during the electrochemical exfoliation. The sensing response and limit of detection for the exfoliated graphene-based film were calculated as 3.56% and 432 ppb, respectively. Further studies indicated that the fabricated sensors are more selective towards ammonia molecules with quick response and recovery times.
Thin films of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) nanoparticles were prepared using a low-temperature deposition and crystallization process involving successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) or SILAR-Air spray Plus (SILAR-A+) methods, coupled with hydrothermal (175 °C) and furnace (500 °C) post-annealing. The annealed YSZ films resulted in crystalline products, and their phases of monoclinic, tetragonal, and cubic were categorized through X-ray diffraction analysis. The morphologies of the as-prepared films, fabricated by SILAR and SILAR-A+ processes, including hydrothermal dehydration and annealing, were characterized by the degree of surface cracking using scanning electron microscopy images. Additionally, the thicknesses of the YSZ thin films were compared by removing diffusion layers such as spectator anions and water accumulated during the air spray plus process. Crack-free YSZ thin films were successfully fabricated on glass substrates using the SILAR-A+ method, followed by hydrothermal and furnace annealing, making them suitable for application in solid oxide fuel cells.
본 논문에서는 전산점근해석기법을 사용하여 복합재료 보에 대한 경계층 해를 계산하고, ANSYS 결과와 비교 검증하였다. 경계층 해는 내부해와 순수 경계층 효과의 합으로 표현되기 때문에, 내부 및 경계층에 대한 수학적으로 엄밀한 정식화를 요구한다. 전산점근 해석기법은 수학적으로 매우 강력한 기법으로, 이러한 문제에 유용하다. 그러나 경계층과 내부 해들의 연결을 시키기 쉽지 않은데, 본 연구에서는 가상일의 원리를 통해 생브낭의 원리와 내부 및 경계층 문제를 체계적으로 분리하였다. 경계층 해는 팝코비치-패들 고유 벡터를 계산하여, 실수부와 허수부 벡터들의 선형 조합으로 표현하고, 내부 해의 워핑 함수들을 보상할 수 있도록 최소오차 자승법을 적용하였다. 계산된 해들은 2차원 유한요소 해석 결과와 비교하여 정성적일 뿐만 아니라 정량적으로도 잘 일치하는 결과를 얻었다.
