We studied the magnetotransport properties of tunnel junctions with AlO and AlN barriers fabricated using microwave-excited plasma. The plasma nitridation process provided wider controllability than the plasma oxidization for the formation of MTJs with ultra-thin insulating layer, because of the slow nitriding rate of metal Al layers, comparing with the oxidizing rate of them. High tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratios of 49 and 44% with respective resistance-area product $(R{\times}A) of 3 {\times} 10^4 and 6 {\times} 10^3 {\Omega}{\mu}m^2$ were obtained in the Co-Fe/Al-N/Co-Fe MTJs. We conclude that AlN is a hopeful barrier material to realize MTJs with high TMR ratio and low $R{\times}A$ for high performance MRAM cells. In addition, in order to clarify the annealing temperature dependence of TMR, the local transport properties were measured for Ta $50{\AA} /Cu 200 {\AA}/Ta 50 {\AA}/Ni_{76}Fe_{24} 20 {\AA}/Cu 50 {\AA}/Mn_{75}Ir_{25} 100 {\AA}/Co_{71}Fe_{29} 40 {\AA}/Al-O$ junction with $d_{Al}= 8 {\AA} and P_{O2}{\times}t_{0X}/ = 8.4 {\times} 10^4$ at various temperatures. The current histogram statistically calculated from the electrical current image was well in accord with the fitting result considering the Gaussian distribution and Fowler-Nordheim equation. After annealing at $340^{\circ}C$, where the TMR ratio of the corresponding MTJ had the maximum value of 44%, the average barrier height increased to 1.12 eV and its standard deviation decreased to 0.1 eV. The increase of TMR ratio after annealing could be well explained by the enhancement of the average barrier height and the reduction of its fluctuation.

상온과 액체질소온도에서 압축시험을 통하여 $LI_{2}$단상함금 및 $LI_{2}$상에 제 2상을 수 %또는 20%정도 포함하는 합금조성을 선택하였다. 일반적으로 제 2상을 20%정도 포함하는 2상합금들은 $Ll_{2}$단상합금에 비해 항복강도는 높으나 연성은 좋지 않았다. 그러나 $Cr_{2}AI$을 제 2상으로하는 20%정도 포함하는 Al-21Ti-23Cr합금은 다른 합금들에 비해 비교적 높은 항복강도와 함계 우수한 연성을 나타내었다. 또한 $Li_{2}$단상합금 및 $Cr_{2}Al$을 수% 포함하는 2상합금에 대한 소성거동도 조사하였다. 균질화처리 후에 제 2상의 양은 줄었으나 pore의 양은 증가하였다. 균질화처리 후에 $Ll_{2}$단상조직에서 나타나는 pore의 양은 Cr의양이 증가할수록 줄어들었으며, Cr 의 양이 더욱 증가하여 $Cr_{2}$Al이 제2상으로 생성될 때는 pore가 완전히 소멸하였다. 변형속도를 $1.2 \times 10^{-4}/s$와 $1.2 \times 10^{-2}/s$의 두가지 조건으로 변화시키면서 압축시험을 행하여 합금의 연성에 미치는 환경취성의 영향을 조사하였다. $LI_{2}$단상합금인 AI-25Ti-10Cr합금이 환경취성의 영향을 가장 적게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 pore의 생성, 환경취성, ingot 주조조직 등을 종합평가해 보면 $Cu_{2}Al$을 제 2상으로 20%정도 포함하는 Ak-21Ti-23Cr합금이 가장 우수한 인장연싱율을 나타낼 것으로 기대된다.

The combination of nanoparticle with radioisotope could give the in vivo information with high sensitivity and specificity. However, radioisotope labeling of nanoparticle is very difficult and radioisotopes have different physicochemical properties, so the radioisotope selection of nanoparticle should be carefully considered. $^{18}F$ was first option to be considered for labeling of nanoparticle. For the labeling of $^{18}F$ with nanoparticle, Prosthetic group is widely used. Iodine, another radioactive halogen, is often used. Since radioiodine isotopes are various, they can be used for different imaging technique or therapy in the same labeling procedures. $^{99m}Tc$ can easily be obtained as pertechnatate ($^{99m}{TcO_4}^-$) by commercial generator. Ionic $^{68}Ga$ (III) in dilute HCl solution is also obtained by generator system, but $^{68}Ga$ can be substituted for $^{67}Ga$ because of the short half-life (67.8 min). $^{64}Cu$ emits not only positron but also ${\beta}-particle$. Therefore $^{64}Cu$ can be used for imaging and therapy at the same time. These radioactive metals can be labeled with nanoparticle using the bifunctional chelator. $^{89}Zr$ has longer half-life (78.4 h) and is used for the longer imaging time. Unlike different metals, $^{89}Zr$ should use the other chelate such as DFO, 3,4,3-(LI-1,2-HOPO) or DFOB.

The mineralogy and chemical composition of reddish to brownish yellow residual soils, so called "Hwangto" have been examined according to representative host rocks. The result of the study indicates that Hwangto consists of 40-80% clay minerals and various minerals such as quartz, feldspar, hornblende, goethite, and gibbsite. Clay minerals include kaolinite, halloysite, illite, hydroxy interlayered vermiculite (HIV), mica/vermiculite interstratifield mineral and chlorite. The mineralogical constituents and contents of Hwangto were different depending on the types of host rocks. Moreover, the Jurassic granitic rocks contain relatively more kaolin minerals, whereas the Cretaceous granitic rocks contain more HIV and illite. In addition, reddish Hwangto contains relatively more kaolinite and HIV, and yellowish Hwangto contains more illite and halloysite. It is suggested that feldspars and micas of host rocks were chemically weathered into illite, halloysite, illite/vermiculite interstratified minerals, and HIV, and finally into kaolinite. Compared with their host rocks, the major chemical compositions of Hwangto tend to contain more $Al_2O_3,\;Fe_2O_3,\;H_2O$ in amount and less Ca, Mg, and Na. Hwangto contains relatively high amount of trace elements, P, S, Zr, Sr, Ba, Rb, and Ce including considerable amount of Li, V, Cr, Zn, Co, Ni, Cu, Y, Nb, La, Nd, Pb, Th in excess of 10 ppm. Relatively high amount of most trace elements were detected in the Hwangto. The major and minor chemical compositions of the Hwangto were different depending on the types of host rocks. However, their difference was in the similar range compared with the compositions of host rocks.

[6]-Gingerol is known as the major bioactive constituent of ginger. In the study, it was observed to effectively protect against ${\bullet}OH$-induced DNA damage ($IC_{50}$ $328.60{\pm}24.41{\mu}M$). Antioxidant assays indicated that [6]-gingerol could efficiently scavenge various free radicals, including ${\bullet}OH$ radical ($IC_{50}$ $70.39{\pm}1.23{\mu}M$), ${\bullet}O_2{^-}$ radical ($IC_{50}$ $228.40{\pm}9.20{\mu}M$), $DPPH{\bullet}$radical ($IC_{50}$ $27.35{\pm}1.44{\mu}M$), and $ABTS{^+}{\bullet}$radical ($IC_{50}$ $2.53{\pm}0.070{\mu}M$), and reduce $Cu^{2+}$ ion ($IC_{50}$ $11.97{\pm}0.68{\mu}M$). In order to investigate the possible mechanism, the reaction product of [6]-gingerol and $DPPH{\bullet}$ radical was further measured using HPLC combined mass spectrometry. The product showed a molecular ion peak at m/z 316 $[M+Na]^+$, and diagnostic fragment loss (m/z 28) for quinone. On this basis, it can be concluded that: (i) [6]-gingerol can effectively protect against ${\bullet}OH$-induced DNA damage; (ii) a possible mechanism for [6]-gingerol to protect against oxidative damage is ${\bullet}OH$ radical scavenging; (iii) [6]-gingerol scavenges ${\bullet}OH$ radical through hydrogen atom ($H{\bullet}$) transfer (HAT) and sequential electron (e) proton transfer (SEPT) mechanisms; and (iv) both mechanisms make [6]-gingerol be oxidized to semi-quinone or quinone forms.

본 논문에서는 황사 발원지 (타클라마칸, 알라샨, 오도스 사막 및 황토고원) 토양 시료의 지구화학적 특성을 규명하고, 이들이 지표환경과 인체에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 중국 건조지역에서 채취한 토양 시료 내 주원소 함량의 공간적 변화는 각 지역별로 크지 않았으며, 이는 각 지역 내 토양이 오랜 기간 동안 바람에 의해 균질하게 혼합된 것으로 해석된다. 한편 미량원소의 경우에는, 시료 채취 지점에 따라 미약한 함량의 차이를 나타낸다. 이들 중 Cr, Cu, As, Co, Ni, V, Y, Sc, Sn, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cs, Li, Th, U 등은 원소 간에 서로 양의 상관관계를 보이며, 이들의 특성은 황토고원과 다른 사막 (타클라마칸, 알라샨 및 오도스 사막) 토양에서 뚜렷하게 구분된다. 모든 사막 및 황토고원 토양의 Fe의 지구화학적 존재형태는 대부분 "잔류형 (85% 이상)"으로 나타났으나, Mn 및 Ca의 존재형태는 사막에 따라 존재형태의 차이가 현저하게 나타났다. Mn은 황토고원 토양에서는 "산화철망간광물 수반형 (55.4%)"이, 그리고 타클라마칸 사막에서는 "탄산염광물 수반형 (33.8%)"이 다른 사막 토양에 비해 2-5배 높게 나타났다. 또한 Ca의 경우에는 타클라마칸 및 알라샨 사막 토양에서 "탄산염광물 수반형"이 각각 75.9% 및 50.5%로 높게 나타났으나, 황토고원 (6.6%)과 오도스 사막 (2.1%)에서는 낮게 나타났다. 사막 및 황토고원 내 미량원소의 이동도를 기준으로 이들 미량원소를 5개의 그룹으로 분류하였으며, Cd, Pb 및 Cu의 이동도가 각각 87%, 33% 및 30% 이상으로 나타났다. 따라서 사막 및 황토고원 내 Cd, Pb 및 Cu는 지표수 등과 반응하였을 때 쉽게 용해되어 지표환경 및 인체 건강에 악영향을 줄 가능성이 있음을 지시하고 있다.

A novel mononuclear supramolecule of copper(II) has been synthesized with Ippyt ligand (Ippyt=3-(4'-imidazole phenyl)-5-(pyrid-2''-yl)-1,2,4-triazole) (1). Compound 1, namely [$Cu(Ippyt)_2(H_2O)_2$], has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectrum, elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Structure determination reveals that the elongated-octahedral geometry is formed in the vicinity of the copper (II) atom being coordinated by four nitrogen atoms from two Ippyt ligands occupying the equatorial position and two oxygen atoms from two coordinated water molecules in the axial position, which together form the $N_4O_2$ donor set. Hydrogen bonding interactions between nitrogen and oxygen atoms result in the set up of a supramolecular network architecture. Biological properties including antibacterial activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic activity of compound 1 have been investigated by agar diffusion method and the modified Marklund method, respectively. The results indicate that compound 1 exhibits a stronger antibacterial efficiency than the parent ligand and it also has a certain radical-scavenging activity.

This study presents the development and characterization of a prototype TL/OSL reader for the retrospective dose assessment of individuals in radiological emergencies. The reader is portable, semi-automatic, and capable of accurate measurements. The dimension of the reader is 25 × 25 × 37 cm³ and the weight is about 15 kg. The reader consists of a sample moving stage, a heating module, an optical stimulation module, a detection module, a data acquisition (DAQ) unit, a nitrogen gas control module, and a PC with a GUI program. The reader has three measurement modes: TL, CW_OSL, and custom mode. The reader was characterized using commercial thermal luminescence dosimeters (TLD, LiF:Mg,Cu,Si) and optically stimulated dosimeters (OSLD, Al₂O₃:C), as well as fortuitous materials, such as display glasses and resistors of mobile phone. The results showed that the reader is capable of measuring signals with a detection limit of up to 0.02 mGy using a commercial dosimeter. In the dose recovery test using fortuitous materials, the reconstructed doses obtained three days post-irradiation closely aligned with the initially administered doses. As a result, this study suggests that the developed TL/OSL reader is a promising instrument for emergency dose assessment at accident sites.
