A house designed for island living, incorporating climate and culture into building design. / Master of Architecture

The beautiful Penghu Archipelagos is a prefecture which has most amount islands of our country. It has about ninety islands, but all of the islands, uninhabited islands are about seventy- one. They have unique features. In recent years, the issue of island was very important on international. Because of that, many countries organized international conference of island continually. They wish they can have a common view in development and idea of island. That is sustainable management. The islands are very special. So they are important heritage of people and everyone think islands are very important. But the damage of islands was to be there for all to see. Our country was not to pay much attention to the issue of island, So we have not the administration of archipelagos and laws or regulations, For this reason, this study applies the major research methods including on-site observation, literature review and in-depth interview. Through the major research methods, the study found some question of Penghu Archipelagos as tourism, smuggling, geography management and the fisherman of China to operator in our waters. All of those questions are about human activities, and we have not complete policy and education of archipelagos. Therefore, the study also analyze the questions for Penghu Archipelagos with SWOT method. Some archipelagos conservation and management cases discussed in this study include China, Indonesia, Japan and Finland. With this idea of other country, the thesis then makes a proposal to protect archipelagos in Penghua. Penghua Island didn¡¦t have the question of sovereign rights, so it didn¡¦t have international dispute in management. But the other remote islands (Kinmen, Matzu, Dongsha and Nanshn)have very long distance with Taiwan, so they have some question of sovereign rights. Many countries make improvement in their question of archipelagos, and those questions will get better solutions in the future, All of the suggests to be include in follow research, that will make the literature on archipelagos more exciting.

The growth of Pb film on Si(111) is an unusual metal-semiconductor system. For a certain temperature range, Pb films have been found to grow in steep-edge and flat-top islands with uniform height on Si(111). This specific film morphology has been correlated to Quantum Size Effect (QSE) that the object size or film thickness affects the electronic structure of the films and results in certain thicknesses more stable than others. The X-ray diffraction technique has the advantages of long penetration length and high statistics, therefore it has been used to investigate the influence of QSE on the growth of Pb on the Si(111) 7x7 surface. It is demonstrated that the structure of Pb islands and the associated wetting layer are consistent with effects of quantum confinement. Specular reflectivity of 3 monolayer (ML) Pb films grown on the substrate at 227K has conclusively shown that the Pb islands do not reside on top of a Pb wetting layer, but directly on top of the Si substrate. The nucleating Pb nanocrystals transform the highly disordered Pb wetting layer beneath the islands into well-ordered fcc Pb. The surface then consists of fcc Pb islands directly on top of the Si surface with the disordered wetting layer between the islands. Moreover, it is found that QSE leads to novel behavior for the coarsening evolution of the Pb islands. The diffuse X-ray scattering experiments have been carried out as functions of temperature, deposition rate and coverage. A structural evolution of Pb islands was observed after deposition at very low coverages (0.2 -- 1.0 ML above the wetting layer coverage). Contrary to the classical scaling theory of nucleation and Ostwald ripening, a much lower island density is achieved with coarsening after deposition at high rather than low flux rates. The time constants of coarsening are found to be orders of magnitudes shorter than what is expected from the Gibbs-Thompson analysis. The rapid evaporation of unstable 3-layer islands shown in complementary STM suggests the role of QSE in the more efficient decay mechanism operating at low temperatures. These results have important applications for the controlled growth of nanostructures.
