S of Chon buk N. Unv. It is empirically known that, in concentrated conjunctions lubricated with O/W emulsions, only the oil is entrained to form elastohydrodynamic films. In the present work, this phenomenon is studied experimentally and the result is compared with a theory Which employes a starved lubrication concept. The experiment is conducted in a four roller machine with 0/W emulsions of varying concentration of oil, i.e. beef tallow, in which the film thickness is determined by detecting the rate of X-ray transmission through the conjunction. Excellent agreement is found between the experimental and the theoretical results.

${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ spherical particles having an average diameter of ca. 420 nm and ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ fine particles (< 10 ${\mu}m$ particle size) were prepared to examine as catalysts for CO oxidation. Kinetic studies on the catalytic reactions were performed in a flow reactor using an on-line gas chromatography system operated at 1 atm. The apparent activation energies and the partial orders with respect to CO and $O_2$ were determined from the rates of CO disappearance in the reaction stage showing a constant catalytic activity. In the temperature range of $150-275^{\circ}C$, the apparent activation energies were calculated to be 13.7 kcal/mol on the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ spherical submicron clusters and 15.0 kcal/mol on the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ fine powder. The Pco and $Po_2$ dependencies of rate were investigated at various partial pressures of CO and $O_2$ at $250^{\circ}C$. Zero-order kinetics were observed for $O_2$ on both the catalysts, but the reaction order for CO was observed as first-order on the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ fine powder and 0.75-order on the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ spherical submicron clusters. The catalytic processes including the inhibition process by $CO_2$ on the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ spherical submicron powder are discussed according to the kinetic results. The catalysts were characterized using XRD (X-ray powder diffraction), FE-SEM (field emission-scanning electron microscopy), HR-TEM (high resolution-transmission electron microscopy), and $N_2$ sorption measurements.

In this paper, Fe-$TiO_2$ and Fe-fullerene/$TiO_2$ composite photocatalysts were prepared with titanium (IV) n-butoxide (TNB) by a sol-gel method. $TiO_2$, Fe-$TiO_2$ and Fe-fullerene/$TiO_2$ were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), specific surface area (BET), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The photocatalytic activities were evaluated by the photocatalytic oxidation of methylene blue (MB) solution. XRD patterns of the composites showed that the photocatalyst composite contained a typical single and clear anatase phase. The surface properties shown by SEM presented a characterization of the texture on Fe-fullerene/$TiO_2$ composites and showed a homogenous composition in the particles for the titanium sources used. The EDX spectra for the elemental identification showed the presence of O, C and Ti elements. Moreover, peaks of the Fe element were observed in the Fe-$TiO_2$ and Fe-fullerene/$TiO_2$ composites. The degradation of MB solution by UV-light irradiation in the presence of photocatalyst compounds was investigated in complete darkness. The degradation of MB concentration in aqueous solution occurred via three kinds of physical phenomena: quantum efficiency of the fullerene; organo-metallic reaction of the Fe compound; and decomposition of $TiO_2$. The degradation rate of the methylene blue solution increased when using Fe-fullerene/$TiO_2$ compounds.

Titania particles are widely used as a photocatalyst to treat various contaminants in air and water. Titania particles were formed by vapor-phase oxidation of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) in a tube furnace between 773 and 1,273 K. The effect of process variables such as furnace temperature, flow rate of carrier air, and flow rate of sheath air on powder size and phase characteristics was investigated using a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The size distribution of synthesized titania particles was characterized with mode diameter and peak concentration. The mode diameter ranging from 20 to 80 nm decreased with increasing flow rates of sheath air and carrier air, and increased with increasing furnace temperature. The peak concentration increased with increasing flow rates of sheath air and carrier air The best synthetic condition for high production rate can be derived from the experimental data set represented by mode diameter and peak concentration. The crystal structure of synthesized titania particles was found to be anatase phase, ensuring high photocatalytic potential.

Chemical compositions of monodisperse $SiO_2/TiO_2$ multicomponent aggregates were measured for different heights from the burner surface and different mobility diameters of aggregates. $SiO_2/TiO_2$ multicomponent particles were generated in a hydrogen/oxygen coflow diffusion flame from two sets of precursors: TTIP (titanium tetraisopropoxide), TEOS(tetraethylorthosilicate). To maintain 1:1 mole ratio of TTIP:TEOS vapor theoretically, flow rate of carrier gas $N_2$ was fixed at 0.61pm for TTIP, at 0.11pm for TEOS. In situ sampling probe was used to supply particles into differential mobility analyzer(DMA) which was calibrated with using commercial DMA(TSI 3071A) and classifying monodisperse multicomponent particles. Classified particles were collected with electrophoretic collector. The distributions of composition from particle to particle were determined using EDS (energy dispersive spectrometry) coupled with TEM (transmission electron microscope). The chemical (atomic) compositions of classified monodisperse particle were obtained for different heights; z=40mm, 60mm, 80mm. The results suggested that the atomic composition of $SiO_2$ decreased with the height from burner surface and the composition of $SiO_2$ and $TiO_2$ approached to the value of 1 to 1 in far downstream. It is also found that the composition of $SiO_2$ decreases as the mobility diameter of aggregate increases.

본 연구에서는 $\mu$-PD법으로 Er : Mg : $LiNbO_3$화이버 결정을 MgO의 첨가량을 달리하여 성장시켰으며, 첨가물 농도에 따른 성장조건과 PL 특성에 관해 조사하였다. 또한,성장한 결정의 투과 스펙트럼으로부터 Er : Mg : $LiNbO^3$에서 $Er^{3+}$ 의 에너지 준위구조를 계산하였다. Crack과 bubble등의 결함이 없는 결정은 after-beater를 조정하여 0.5 mm/min 이하의 성장속도에서 얻을 수 있었다. MgO의 농도에 따른 PL강도는 0.6 mol% $Er_2O_3$와 3 mol% MgO가 첨가된 Er : Mg : $LiNbO_3$결정에서 가장 강한 형광강도가 관측되었다. 또한, 에너지 준위 $^4S_{3/2}$에서 기저준위로 방출되는 빛이 가장 강했으며 1530 nm의 형광은 비방출천이 및 형광방출 등의 원인에 의한 $^4I_{13/2}$ 준위에서의 여기전자 감소가 형광강도 감소의 원인임을 알 수 있었다.

The behavior of surface film formation was greatly dependent on the speed of potential cycling. In $LiClO_4$ / EC + DEC, cyclic voltammetry results showed that the peaks originated from surface film formation on graphite electrode at the high charge-discharge rate was shifted to the lower potentials as the charge-discharge rate decrease. This indicates that surface films with different morphology and thickness were formed by different charge-discharge rate. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results indicated that the properties such as thickness and morphology of the surface film were greatly affected by the charge-discharge rate. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) showed that the resistance of surface film was affected by the speed of potential cycling. In addition, the charge transfer resistance was also dependent on the charge-discharge rate indicating that the charge transfer reaction was affected by the nature of surface film. TEM and EIS results suggested that the chemical property as well as the physical property of the surface film was affected by the charge-discharge rate.

The submicron-rods of $Cu_2O$ with diameters of 100-700 nm and lengths of $2-8{\mu}m$ were synthesized by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The abundance of Cu species, which is modulated by the $Ar/O_2$ ratio during the sputtering process affect directly to the growths of the $Cu_2O$ branches on the bodies of the submicron-rods. Transmission electron microscopy and elemental mapping reveal that metallic Cu are existed on the heads of the $Cu_2O$ rods. The growth rate, catalyst phase and shape reveal that vapor-quasiliquid-solid was the growth mechanism of the formations of those structures.

To build a highly active photocatalytic system with high efficiency and low cast of TiO₂, we report a facile hydrothermal technique to synthesize Ag₂Se-nanoparticle-modified TiO₂ composites. The physical characteristics of these samples are analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, transmission electron microscopy and BET analysis. The XRD and TEM results show us that TiO₂ is coupled with small sized Ag₂Se nanoplate, which has an average grain size of about 30 nm in diameter. The agglomeration of Ag₂Se nanoparticles is improved by the hydrothermal process, with dispersion improvement of the Ag₂Se@TiO₂ nanocomposite. Texbrite BA-L is selected as a simulated dye to study the photodegradation behavior of as-prepared samples under visible light radiation. A significant enhancement of about two times the photodegradation rate is observed for the Ag₂Se@TiO₂ nanocomposite compared with the control sample P25 and as-prepared TiO₂. Long-term stability of Ag₂Se@TiO₂ is observed via ten iterations of recycling experiments under visible light irradiation.

The composite photocatalysts of a Fe-modified carbon nanotube (CNT)-$TiO_2$ were synthesized by a two-step sol-gel method at high temperature. Its chemical composition and surface properties were investigated by BET surface area, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The results showed that the BET surface area was improved by modification of Fe, which was related to the adsorption capacity for each composite. Interesting thin layer aggregates of nanosized $TiO_2$ were observed from TEM images, probably stabilized by the presence of CNT, and the surface and structural characterization of the samples was carried out. The XRD results showed that the Fe/CNT-$TiO_2$ composites contained a mix of anatase and rutile forms of $TiO_2$ particles when the precursor is $TiOSO_4{\cdot}xH_2O$ (TOS). An excellent photocatalytic activity of Fe/CNT-$TiO_2$ was obtained for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. It was considered that Fe cation could be doped into the matrix of $TiO_2$, which could hinder the recombination rate of the excited electrons/holes. The photocatalytic activity of the composites was also found to depend on the presence of CNT. The synergistic effects among the Fe, CNT and $TiO_2$ components were responsible for improving the visible light photocatalytic activity.
