Abstract
Materials with very small dimensions exhibit different physical and mechanical properties compared to their bulk counterparts. This becomes significantly important for the thin films that are widely used as components in micro-electronics and functional materials. In this study, a chromium (Cr) thin film was deposited on a silicon (Si) wafer..... More

Abstract
Anti-reflective (AR) coatings are popular because they offer high durability with effective reflectance and glare reduction, and they can endure both physical and environmental damage. Magnesium fluoride (MgF₂) has been used as a nanoparticle coating on AR coating materials by many researchers because they exhibit high transmittance and antireflection characteristics..... More

Abstract
We demonstrated an effective method for fabricating a highly efficient flexible transparent electrode in an oxide/metal/oxide configuration based on an ultrathin Cu film. It exhibited low losses in optical transmittance and electrical conductivity while minimizing current loss due to pinhole-related leakages. The Cu film was developed on a chemically heterogeneous..... More

Abstract
Since catalyst technology is one of the promising technologies to improve the working performance of next generation energy and electronic devices, many efforts have been made to develop various catalysts with high efficiency at a low cost. However, there are remaining challenges to be resolved in order to use the..... More

Abstract
Oxi-nitrocarburizing treatment was performed to improve the anti-corrosion and anti-wear properties of low carbon steels. The oxi-nitrocarburizing was carried out in 2 steps: a gas nitrocarburizing step at 560 ℃ and an oxidation step at 550 ℃ for 30 min with steamed water. The mechanical and chemical properties of the..... More

Abstract
The wetting behavior of liquids on solid surfaces is important in the study of surfaces and interfaces. In this study, the wetting behavior of deionized (DI) water and hexadecane on fluorinated and micro-patterned polymer surfaces was investigated. The sample surfaces were processed by spray coating and thermal imprinting, respectively. The..... More

Abstract
Heat transfer plays a critical role in the fabrication of high efficiency electronic devices. Double-layer clad metals consisting of stainless steel (STS) and aluminum (Al) alloy were fabricated by the roll bonding process, and their thermal conductivity was calculated using measurements of density, specific heat, and thermal diffusivity obtained by.....

Abstract
The thermal properties of two-layered materials composed of a polymer layer embedded with dielectric AlN particles (AlN composite) coated on top of an aluminum (Al) substrate were investigated by light flash analysis (LFA). The thermal conductivity of the specimens was measured as a function of the AlN composite volume fraction..... More
