This study was carried out to examine the stability of $Na_2CO_3-H_2O_2$ carbonate solution with aging time in the dissolving solution after oxidative dissolution of U by a carbonate solution, the Cs/Re filtrate after selective precipitation of Cs and Re (as a surrogate for Tc), and the acidification filtrate after precipitation of U by acidification, respectively. The compositions of dissolving solution were not changed with ageing time, and the selective precipitation of Re and Cs was also not affected without regard to the aging time of dissolving solution. The successive removal of Cs and Re from a carbonate dissolving solution was possible. However, the recovery yield of U by acidification was decreased with increasing the aging time of the dissolving solution and the Cs/Re-filtrate, respectively, because U was converted from the uranyl peroxocarbonato complex to the uranyltricarbonate in the solution aged for a long time. Accordingly, it is effective that a dissolving solution and a Cs/Re filtrate are treated within the aging of 7 days, respectively, in order to recover U more than 99%. On the other hand, the recovery of U was carried out in order of the oxidative dissolution of U selective precipitation of Re and Cs precipitation of U by acidification. Almost all of U and a part of FP were co-dissolved in oxidative dissolution step. Over 99% of Re and Cs from the FP co-dissolved with U could be removed by a TPPCl (tetraphenylphosphonium chloride) and a NaTPB (sodium tetraphenylborate), respectively. U was precipitated nearly 100% by acidification to pH 4. Therefore, it was confirmed that the validity of recovery of U by precipitation methods from a SF (spent fuel) in the $Na_2CO_3-H_2O_2$ solution.

Resistive-change random access memory (ReRAM) device is one of the promising candidates owing to its simple structure, high scalability potential and low power operation. Many resistive switching devices using transition metal oxides materials such as NiO, Al2O3, ZnO, HfO2, $TiO_2$, have attracting increased attention in recent years as the next-generation nonvolatile memory. Among various transition metal oxides materials, HfO2 has been adopted as the gate dielectric in advanced Si devices. For this reason, it is advantageous to develop an HfO2-based ReRAM devices to leverage its compatibility with Si. However, the annealing temperature of these high-k thin films for a suitable resistive memory switching is high, so there are several reports for low temperature process including microwave irradiation. In this paper, we demonstrate the bipolar resistive switching characteristics in the microwave irradiation annealing processed Ag/HfO2/Pt ReRAM device. Compared to the as-deposited Ag/HfO2/Pt device, highly improved uniformity of resistance values and operating voltage were obtained from the micro wave annealing processed HfO2 ReRAM device. In addition, a stable DC endurance (>100 cycles) and a high data retention (>104 sec) were achieved.

We investigated the doping effects of $ReO_3$ in different p-type organic semiconductors on the formation of charge transfer complexes and the electrical conductivity by comparing the absorption in ultraviolet-visible-nearinfrared (UV-Vis-NIR) and the current density-voltage characteristics of the hole only devices, respectively. The large energy difference between the HOMO level of host and Fermi energy level of dopant (${\Delta}E$=$E_{HOHO,host}$ - $E_{F,dopant}$) gives higher concentration of CT complexes and enhanced conductivity.

In this work, we have investigated the etching characteristics of $TiO_2$ and selectivity of $TiO_2$ over $SiO_2$ thin films as resistance in ReRAM using the inductively coupled plasma. The etch rate and selectivity were measured by varying the $BCl_3$ addition into Ar plasma. The maximum etchrate was obtained at 110.1nm/min at $BCl_3$/Ar=5sccm/10sccm, 500W for RFpower, -100v for DC-bias voltage, and 2Pa for the process pressure. The etched $TiO_2$ surface was investigated with X-ray photo electron spectroscopy. We explained the etching mechanism in two etch mechanisms, physiclas puttering and chemical reaction.

희토류 이온이 치환 고용된 실리케이트계 형광체는 자외선으로 여기될 때 높은 발광 효율을 나타내기 때문에 광전 소자, 레이저, 형광램프에 응용할 수 있는 발광 재료로 상당한 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고상반응법을 사용하여 초기 물질 (99.99% 순도), (99.99%), (99.9%), (99.9%)을 화학 정량으로 준비하여 활성제 이온 Eu3+와 Sm3+의 함량비를 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20 mol로 변화시켜 BaSiO3:RE3+ (RE=Eu, Sm) 형광체를 제조하여 그것의 발광과 흡광 특성을 조사하였다. Eu3+ 이온이 도핑된 BaSiO3 형광체의 경우에, 발광 스펙트럼은 모든 시료에서 전이에 의한 발광 스펙트럼을 보였으며, 특히 j=2에서 가장 강한 적색 형광이 피크 620 nm에서 관측되었다. 상대적으로 발광 세기가 약한 595 nm 에 정점을 갖는 주황색 발광과 705 nm 에 피크를 갖는 적색 발광 스펙트럼이 관측되었다. Eu3+ 이온의 함량비가 0.15 mol 일 때 세 영역의 발광 스펙트럼의 세기는 최대값을 나타내었다. 주흡광 스펙트럼은 Eu3+ 이온의 함량비에 관계없이 397 nm에서 관측되었다. Sm3+ 이온이 도핑된 BaSiO3 형광체의 경우에, 모든 시료는 Sm3+ 이온의 함량비에 관계없이 전이에 의한 발광 스펙트럼을 보여주고 있으며, 특히 j=7/2에서 가장 강한 주황색 형광이 피크 603 nm에서 관측되었다. 상대적으로 발광 세기가 약한 567 nm에 정점을 갖는 황색 발광과 651 nm에 피크를 갖는 적색 발광 스펙트럼이 관측되었다. Sm3+ 이온의 함량비가 0.05 mol 일 때 세 종류의 발광 스펙트럼의 세기는 최대값을 나타내었다. Sm3+ 이온의 함량비가 더욱 증가함에 따라 모든 발광 스펙트럼의 세기는 순차적으로 감소하였는데, 이 현상은 농도 소광 현상에 기인함을 알 수 있었다. 주 흡광 스펙트럼은 Sm3+ 이온의 함량비에 관계없이 406 nm에서 관측되었으며, 이밖에도 상대적으로 세기가 약한 흡광 스펙트럼이 237 nm, 377 nm와 476 nm에서 관측되었다.

The effects of metathesis for concentrating the tocopherols from soybean and rice-bran scum oils were studied by using the batch reactor under helium atmosphere. The contents of tocopherols in the scum oils decreased consticuously when heated under air atmosphere or when kept in hexane solution above 5 days even at room temperature. The sterols in the scum oils were removed by the mixed solvent method. Metathesis of the sterol-removed scum oils in hexane was performed over Re2O7/Al2O3 and WO3/Al2O3 catalysts, and the concentrate was obtained by distillation in vacuum at $190^{\circ}C$. The effect of metathesis was evaluated as relative ratio of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol in the concentrate to that in scum oil. The maximum ratio for both scum oils was obtained on 12.8%(w/w)$Re_2O_7/Al2O_3$ catalyst which formed effectively the active sites for metathesis by the reaction between the added tetramethyltin and $Re_2O_7$ on the surface of the catalyst. The optimum amount of the catalyst was 0.5g pre l0g scum oil, and the optimum reaction temperature was $25^{\circ}C$ for both scum oils. The metathesis was more effective in rice-bran scum oil than in soybean scum oil. These facts indicated that the tocopherols in the scum oils can be highly concentrated by applying metathesis.

희토류 발광 물질은 4f 껍질에 위치하는 전자의 독특한 특성 때문에 발광 소자와 디스플레이에 그 응용성을 확장하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고효율의 적색과 주황색 형광체를 합성하기 위하여 모체 격자 CaNb2O6에 희토류 이온인 유로퓸과 사마륨을 치환 고용하여 최적의 합성 조건을 조사하였다. Ca1-1.5xNb2O6:REx3+ (RE=Eu, Sm) 형광체 분말 시료는 고상반응법을 사용하여 활성제 이온인 Eu3+와 Sm3+의 농도비를 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 mol 로 변화시키면서 합성하였다. 초기 물질 CaO, Nb2O5, Eu2O3와 Sm2O3을 화학 적량으로 측정하고, 400 rpm의 속도로 24시간 밀링 작업을 수행한 후에, 건조기 $60^{\circ}C$에서 28시간 건조하고, 시료를 막자 사발에서 갈아 세라믹 도가니에 담아 튜브형 전기로에서 분당 $5^{\circ}C$의 비율로 승온시켜 $500^{\circ}C$에서 5시간 동안 하소와 $1,100^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 소결하여 합성하였다. Eu3+가 도핑된 경우에, 발광 스펙트럼은 Eu3+ 이온의 농도비에 관계없이 강한 적색 발광 스펙트럼이 616 nm에서 관측되었다. 이외에도, 596 nm와 708 nm에서 상대적으로 발광 세기가 약한 주황색 발광과 적색 발광 신호가 검출되었으며, 541 nm에서는 매우 약한 녹색스펙트럼이 관측되었다. Eu3+ 이온의 농도비에 0.01 mol에서 0.15 mol로 증가함에 따라 주발광 신호의 세기는 점점 증가하였으며, 0.15 mol에서 최대 발광 세기를 나타내었다. Eu3+ 이온의 농도비가 0.20 mol 로 더욱 증가함에 따라 주 피크의 세기는 농도 소강 현상에 의하여 현저히 감소함을 보였다. 한편, 주된 흡광 스펙트럼은 279 nm에서 나타났는데, 이것은 전하전달밴드 신호이다. Sm3+가 도핑된 형광체 분말의 발광 스펙트럼은 모든 시료의 경우에 613 nm에서 강한 적주황색 발광 스펙트럼이 관측되었고, 상대적으로 세기가 약한 570 nm와 660 nm에 피크를 갖는 황색과 적색 발광 스펙트럼이 발생하였다. 흡광과 발광 스펙트럼의 최대 세기는 0.05 mol에서 나타났으며, Sm3+ 이온의 농도비가 더욱 증가함에 따라 흡광과 발광 세기는 급격하게 감소하였다.

The peculiarities of using Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) and solid state phase synthesis for production of high temperature superconductor materials are discussed. Oxide superconductors with general formula $ReBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{7-x}$ (Re= Y, Yb, Sm, Nd) have been made with using barium oxide initial powder instead of traditional barium carbonate. X-ray powder diffraction showed a single phase orthorhombic perovskite structure was produced in all reactions. Phenomena observed during the grinding of the reactant mixture are presented. Mechano-chemical activation - as a pretreatment of the reactant mixture - strongly influences the kinetic parameters, the reaction mechanism, and the composition and structure of the final product.

We investigated hydrogen storage and production properties using redox system of iron oxide($Fe_{3}O_{4}$ + $4H_{2}$ ${\leftrightarrows}$ 3Fe + $4H_{2}O$) modified with rhodium, ceria and zirconia under atmospheric pressure. Reduction of iron oxide with hydrogen(hydrogen storage) and re-oxidation of reduced iron oxide with steam(hydrogen evolution) was carried out using a temperature programmed reaction(TPR) technique. On the temperature programmed studies, the effects of amounts of cerium and zirconium on the re-oxidation rate of partial reduced iron oxides were increased with increasing metal additives amount, but the rhodium amount showed little effect on the re-oxidation rate. On the thermal studies, the re-oxidation rates were enhanced with increasing temperature(300 $^{\circ}C$ < 350 $^{\circ}C$).

A series of $CaNb_2O_6:Dy^{3+}$, $CaNb_2O_6$:$Eu^{3+}$ and $CaNb_2O_6:Dy^{3+}$, $Eu^{3+}$ phosphors were prepared by solid-state reaction process. The effects of activator ions on the structural, morphological and optical properties of the phosphor particles were investigated. XRD patterns showed that all the phosphors had an orthorhombic system with a main (131) diffraction peak. For the $Dy^{3+}$-doped $CaNb_2O_6$ phosphor powders, the excitation spectra consisted of one broad band centered at 267 nm in the range of 210-310 nm and three weak peaks; the main emission band showed an intense yellow band at 575 nm that corresponded to the $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{13/2}$ transition of $Dy^{3+}$ ions. For the $Eu^{3+}$-doped $CaNb_2O_6$ phosphor, the emission spectra under ultraviolet excitation at 263 nm exhibited one strong reddish-orange band centered at 612 nm and four weak bands at 536, 593, 650, and 705 nm. For the $Dy^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$-codoped $CaNb_2O_6$ phosphor powders, blue and yellow emission bands due to the $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{15/2}$ and $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{13/2}$ transitions of $Dy^{3+}$ ions and a main reddish-orange emission line at 612 nm resulting from the $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_2$ transition of $Eu^{3+}$ ions were observed. As the concentration of $Eu^{3+}$ ions increased from 1 mol% to 10 mol%, the intensities of the emissions due to $Dy^{3+}$ ions rapidly decreased, while those of the emission bands originating from the $Eu^{3+}$ ions gradually increased, reached maxima at 10 mol%, and then slightly decreased at 15 mol% of $Eu^{3+}$. These results indicate that white light emission can be achieved by modulating the concentrations of the $Eu^{3+}$ ions incorporated into the $Dy^{3+}$-doped $CaNb_2O_6$ host lattice.
