In this study, the neutron capture cross section of $^{180}Ta$(natural existence ratio: 0.012 %) obtain by measuring has been compared with the evaluated data for the capture data. In generally, the neutron capture resonance is defined as Breit-Wigner formula. The formula consists of the resonance parameters such as neutron width, total width and neutron width. However in the case of $^{180}Ta$, these are very poor experimental neutron capture cross section data and resonance information in below 10 eV. Therefore, in the study, we analyzed the neutron resonance of $^{180}Ta$ with the measuring the prompt gamma-ray from the sample. And the resonance was compared with the evaluated data by Mughabghab, ENDF/B-VII, JEFF-3.1 and TENDL 2012. Neutron sources from photonuclear reaction with 46-MeV electron linear accelerator at Research Reactor Institute, Kyoto University used for cross section measurement of $^{180}Ta(n,{\gamma})^{181}Ta$ reaction. $BGO(Bi_4Ge_3O_{12})$ scintillation detectors used for measurement of the prompt gamma ray from the $^{180}Ta(n,{\gamma})^{181}Ta$ reaction. The BGO spectrometer was composed geometrically as total energy absorption detector.

Regulation of invertase biosynthesis was studied with alkalophilic and thermophilic Bacillus cereus TA-11. Biosynthesis of invertase in Bacillus cereus TA-11 was effectively induced in the presence of 10 mM of sucrose for 180 min and 25 mM of raffinose for 90 min, respectively. Glucose repressed the invertase induction by sucrose and as late addition time of glucose, invertase formation was increased, indicating that glucose repression was occurred by inducer exclusion. Catabolite repression was not reduced by the addition of cAMP for 180 min of induction.

The mutagenicity of the thermally oxidized soybean oils was investigated. Each oil sample was taken after 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48 hours of heating at a temperature of $180{\pm}3^{\circ}C$, and was used to study the changes of peroxide value(POV), acid value(AV), iodine value(IV), conjugated dienoic acid content(CDA content, %), and fatty acid composition. Another set of samples was fractionated into non-oxidized and oxidized fractions by column chromatography using silica gel. The mutagenicity of the samples taken from the thermally oxidized oils as well as the non-oxidized and oxidized fractions was investigated with the Ames test. Bacterial tester strains used in the present study were the histidine auxotrophic strains of S. typhimurium TA100, TA1535 and TA 102 for the detection of base pair, and TA98 and TA1537 for frame shift mutations. Each set of samples was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran and tested at doses ranging from 0.05 to 5 mg/plate. The oxidized fractions increased significantly the number of $His^+$ revertant colonies of TA100, TA1537 and TA102, thereby showed mutagenic activity on these strains. However none of the oil samples taken within the 48 hours oxidation period showed any mutagenic activity with and without metabolic activation.

The measurement of gamma-ray spectrum of $^{nat}W(p,xn)$ reaction with natural tungsten were performed by using a high energy proton generated from a 100-MeV proton linear accelerator of the Korea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC). Gamma rays generated by various nuclides generated through the nuclide were measured using a gamma-ray spectroscopy system composed of HPGe detector. A gamma-ray standard source was used for energy calibration and efficiency measurement of the detector. Analysis of the gamma rays observed in the measured spectra showed that the radionuclides produced were $^{167}Re$, $^{178}Re$, $^{179}Re$, $^{180}Re$, $^{181}Re$, $^{182}Re$, $^{184}Re$, $^{172}Ta$, $^{174}Ta$, $^{178}Ta$, $^{182}Ta$, $^{184}Ta$, $^{175}W$, $^{176}W$, $^{177}W$ and $^{179}W$. Nuclides were generated. The results of this study will be applied to nuclear fusion, astrophysics, and nuclear medicine applications in the future.

We report the characteristics and the dependence of sputter-deposited Ta films on the process parameters. The properties of as-deposited Ta films such as deposition rate, resistivity, Rs uniformity, reflectivity, and stress were investigated and analyzed as a function of process parameter using a statistical experimental method. The functional relationships between the independent and dependent variables were predicted by surface response. The optimal deposition condition of DC magnetron sputtered Ta films was obtained at the chamber pressure of 2 mTorr, power density of 8 W/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and substrate temperature of 2$0^{\circ}C$ by means of resistivity and Rs uniformity. The fitness value for quadratic model as evaluated by the R- square was 0.85~ 0.9 without pooling. The as-deposited Ta films exhibited the resistivity of ~180$\mu$$\Omega$cm with Rs uniformity of ~2%. The transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffractometry identified that the phase of as-deposited film was $\beta$-Ta having the grain size of 100~200.

본 연구에서는 DC magnetron 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 고정밀, 고저항 저항체 박막으로 TaNx film을 제조하였을 때 형성될 수 있는 화합물 중 TaN0.1, TaN0.8과 TaN 박막의 Rs와 TCR특성을 평가하 고 film층의 우선방향성을 XRD를 이용하여 판명한 뒤 저항체의 Rs와 TCR에 미치는 영향을 조사하였 다. TaN0.1 박막이 35$\Omega$/$\square$의 면저항값과 안정된 TCR값을 나타내는 것을 알수 있었다. 두께50~200nm 의 TaN0.1과 Alumina 기판 사이에 정(+)의 TCR을 갖는 약 50nm의 Cr층을 증착하였을 때 Rs는 180$\Omega$/ $\square$ 과 TCR는 20ppm/$^{\circ}C$인 적층박막을 제조할 수 있었다. TaN0.1, TaN0.8 과 TaN 시편에서 화합물 형성 에 따른 Ta의 결합에너지를 ESCA를 이용하여 조사하였다. 이상의 연구결과로부터 TaN0.1 film이 TaNfilm 보다 고정밀, 고저항 박막 저항체 제조에 있어 우수한 전기저항 특성을 가지며 Cr 중간층 형성 으로 TCR이 $\pm$ppm/$^{\circ}C$정도로 안정된 고정밀 다층 저항체 박막을 형성할 수 있었다.

Formation of an adhesion/barrier layer and a seed layer by sputtering techniques followed by electroplating has been one of the most widely used methods for the filling of through-Si via (TSV) with high aspect ratio for 3-D packaging. In this research, the adhesion and diffusion-barrier properties of the $TaN_x$ film deposited by reactive sputtering were investigated. The adhesion strength between Cu film and $SiO_2$/Si substrate was quantitatively measured by $180^{\circ}$ peel test and topple test as a function of the composition of the adhesive $TaN_x$ film. As the nitrogen content increased in the adhesive $TaN_x$ film, the adhesion strength between Cu and $SiO_2$/Si substrate increased, which was attributed to the increased formation of interfacial compound layer with the nitrogen flow rate. We also examined the diffusion-barrier properties of the $TaN_x$ films against Cu diffusion and found that it was improved with increasing nitrogen content in the $TaN_x$ film up to N/Ta ratio of 1.4.

The purposed of this work was to determine surface charateristics of anodized Ti-30Nb-xTa alloys with Ta content. Samples were prepared by arc melting, followed by followed by homogenization for 12 hr at $1000^{\circ}C$ in argon atmosphere. The electrolyte for anodization treatment was prepared by mixing 465ml $H_2O$ with 35M $H_3PO_4$ and anodized at 180V to 220V. The microstructures of the alloys were examined by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and optical microscopy (OM). Surface characteristics of anodized Ti-30Nb-xTa alloys was investigated by potentiodynamic test and potentiostatic in 0.9% Nacl solution at $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. It was observed that the changed ${\alpha}$ phase to ${\beta}$ phase with Ta content.
