This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of water depths on seedling stand and early growth of califonia rice varieties, S201, M202, A301, Italico livorno and Korean variety, Hwaseongbyeo, and barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) The coleoptile length of rice was longer with deep water depth while for the radicle length shorten. As water depth was increased, the percentage of seedling stand were decreased slightly in rice, while sharply increased in barnyardgrass. Plant height of rice with increasing water depth were longer, whereas that of barnyardgrass reduced significantly with weaker. Tiller number of rice and barnyardgrass were significantly reduced as water depth increased. Dry matter weight and healthy score of rice seedling at 35DAS were highest in 7.5cm water depth followed saturated moisture, 15, and 22.5cm water depth, while for barnyardgrass those were especially negatively affected by deep water depth. These results showed that the seedling stand and early growth of barnyardgrass was highly suppressed by deeper water levels compared with rice. Rice cultivars which are showes growth characteristics in deeper water levels at early growth stage were Italico livorno and S201 in Japonica / Indica.

This study was carried out with two cultivars under two levels of pH and four levels of nitrogen fertilization in a field and nutri-culture experiments to obtain the information about the effects of pH and nitrogen fertilization on the growth and yield of soybean. Acidic condition suppressed the growth of soybean plants, and thus yield and yield components of soybean decreased under acidic condition. But they increased with increased nitrogen fertilization. Especially, these respones were more remarkable under acidic condition and in the variety Jangbaegkong. Grain yield of soybean were highly correlated with the content of allantoin and total nitrogen of soybean plants in the variety Jangbaegkong, but this was not in the variety Danyeobkong. The content of protein and fat of soybean seeds decreased under acidic condition, and more nitrogen fertilization increased the protein content, but decreased the fat content.

The application of fibrous activated carbon (FAC)-titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) hybrid system has not been reported yet for the control of malodorous dimethyl sulfide (DMS) at residential environmental levels. Accordingly, the current study was designed not only to characterize this hybrid system using x-ray diffraction method, particulate surface measurement and Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR) method, but also to evaluate its adsorptional photocatalytic activity (APA) for the DMS removal. The physical/surface characteristics of FAC-$TiO_2$ which was prepared in this study suggested that the hybrid material might have certain APA for DMS. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific area, total pore volume, micropore volume and mesopore volume decreased all as the $TiO_2$ amounts coated on FAC increased, whereas the reverse was true for average pore diameter. $TiO_2$ coated onto FAC did not influence the adsorptional activity of FAC for the DMS input concentration of 0.5 ppm. The APA test of the hybrid material presented that the initial removal efficiencies of DMS were 93, 78, 71 and 57% for the flow rates of 0.5, 1.0, l.5 and 2.0 L/min, respectively, and they decreased somewhat 2 h after the experiment started and kept almost constant for the rest experimental period. Under this pseudo-equilibrium condition, the DMS removal efficiencies were 78, 58, 53 and 36% for the four flow rates, respectively. Meanwhile, there were no significant byproducts observed on the surfaces of the hybrid material. Consequently, this study suggests that, under the experimental conditions used in the present study, the hybrid material can be applied for DMS at residential environment levels without being interfered by any byproducts.

$SrBi_2Nb_2O_9(SBN)$ thin films were grown on Pt/Ti/Si and p-type Si(100) substrates by rf-magnetron co-sputtering method using two ceramic targets, $SrNb_2O_6\; and \;Bi_2O_3$. The structural and electrical characteristics have been investigated to confirm the possibility of the SBN thin films for the applications to destructive and nondestructive read out ferroelectric random access memory(FRAM). For the optimum growth condition X-ray diffraction patterns showed that SBN films had well crystallized Bi-layered perovskite structure after $700^{\circ}C$ heat-treatment in furnace. From this specimen we got remnant polarization $(2P_r)$ of about 6 uC/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and coercive voltage $(V_c)$ of about 1.5 V at an applied voltage of 5 V. The leakage current density was $7.6{\times}10^{-7}$/A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at an applied voltage of 5V. And for the NDRO-FRAM application, properties of SBN films on Si substrate has been investigated. From transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, we found the furnace treated sample had a native oxide about 2 times thicker than the RTA treated sample and this thick native oxide layer had a bad effect on C-V characteristics of SBN/Si thin film. After $650^{\circ}C$ RTA process, we got the improved memory window of 1.3 V at an applied voltage of 5 V.

소자가 고집적화 됨에 따라, 비저항이 낮고 electro migration (EM), Stress Migration (SM) 특성이 우수한 구리(Cu)를 배선재료로서 사용하고 있다. 그러나, 구리는 Si과 $SiO_2$의 내부로 확산이 빠르게 일어나, Si 소자 내부에 deep donor level을 형성하고, 누설 전류를 증가시키는 등 소자의 성능을 저하시킬 수 있는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 그러나, electroplating 을 이용하여 증착한 Cu 박막은 일반적으로 확산 방지막으로 쓰이는 TiN, TaN, 등의 물질과의 접착 (adhesion) 특성이 나쁘다. 따라서, Cu CMP 에서 증착된 Cu 박막의 벗겨지거나(peeling), EM or SM 저항성 저하 등의 배선에서의 reliability 문제를 야기하게된다. 따라서 Cu 와 접착 특성이 좋은 새로운 확산방지막 또는 adhesion layer의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 Cu 배선에서의 접착성 문제를 해결하고자 Metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)을 이용하여 제조한 코발트(Co) 박막을 $Cu/TaN_x$ 사이의 접착력 개선을 위한 adhesion layer로 적용하려는 시도를 하였다. Co는 비저항이 낮고, Cu 와 adhesion이 좋으며, Cu direct electroplating 이 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만, 수소 분위기에서 $C_{12}H_{10}O_6(Co)_2$ (dicobalt hexacarbonyl tert-butylacetylene, CCTBA) 전구체에 의한 MOCVD Co 박막의 경우 탄소, 산소와 같은 불순물이 다량 함유되어 있어, 비저항, surface roughness 가 높아지게 된다. 따라서 구리 전착 초기에 구리의 핵 생성(nucleation)을 저해하고 핵 생성 후에도 응집(agglomeration)이 발생하여 연속적이고 얇은 구리막 형성을 방해한다. 이를 해결하기 위해, MOCVD Co 박막 증착 시 수소 반응 가스에 암모니아를 추가로 주입하여, 수소/암모니아의 분압을 1:1, 1:6, 1:10으로 변화시켜 $Co/TaN_x$ 박막의 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 각각의 수소/암모니아 분압에 따른 $Co/TaN_x$ 박막을 TEM (Transmission electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction), AES (Auger electron spectroscopy)를 통해 물성 및 조성을 분석하였고, AFM (Atomic force microscopy)를 이용하여, surface roughness를 측정하였다. 실험 결과, $Co/TaN_x$ 박막은 수소/암모니아 분압 1:6에서 90 ${\mu}{\Omega}-cm$의 낮은 비저항과 0.97 nm 의 낮은 surface roughness 를 가졌다. 뿐만 아니라, MOCVD 에 의해 증착된 Co 박막이4-6 % concentration 의 탄소 및 산소 함량을 가지는 것으로 나타났고, 24nm 크기의 trench 기판 위에 약 6nm의 $Co/TaN_x$ 박막이 매우 균일하게 형성된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들은, 향후 $Co/TaN_x$ 박막이 Cu direct electroplating 공정이 가능한 diffusion barrier로서 성공적으로 사용될 수 있음을 보여준다.

To clarify the soil characteristics and genesis of the clayey terrace soils in Yeongnam area, the study were carried out with 9 typifying pedons of toposequential terrace soils in Yeongcheon (inland area) and Yeongil (coastal area) region. The results of soil genesis oriented investigations on soil mineralogical compositions and weathering characteristics were summarized as follows; 1. The contents of heavy minerals contained in sand fraction of the terrace soils were less than 5%, but the content in soil layers considered to be originated from other than terrace deposits had 9.8-16.2%. The content of feldspars in light minerals were higher in Yeongcheon sequence while the Yeongil sequence were characterized by having higher content in quartz. The ratios of quartz/feldspars in the soil layers where expecting lithological discontinuity, were different from that of terrace deposits. 2. The resistate index of maturity ranged around 76.7-29.9 in Yeongcheon area and around 85.6-67.2 in Yeongil area. The indices increased with the elevations of terraces. 3. The molar ratios of $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ in clay fraction were around 1.93-2.65. The parent materials of the terrace deposits judged by the ratios of $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ and $Fe_2O_3/Al_2O_3$ were considered to be the felsic materials. 4. The compositions of clay minerals detected by X-ray diffractogram and D.T.A. thermogram were dominated by kaolin and illite with subsidiary minerals of vermiculite, quartz, vermiculite intergrading to illite etc. It was distinguished from terrace deposits that by having higher amount of kaolin and montmorin minerals in the substrata of Bancheon soils in Yeongcheon area and Upyeong soils in Yeongil area, respectively.

최근 전기, 전자, 반도체 산업의 발전으로 전 고상 박막리튬전지는 초소형, 초경량의 마이크로 소자의 구현을 위한 고밀도 에너지원으로 각광받고 있다. 현재 양극박막은 대부분LCO(LiCoO2)계열이 이용되고 있으나, 코발트는 높은 가격과 인체 유해성 뿐만 아니라 상대적으로 낮은 용량(~140 mAh/g)등의 단점을 갖고 있어 향후 보다 고용량의 양극박막이 요구된다. 3원계 양극활물질 LiMO2(M=Co,Ni,Mn,etc.)은 우수한 충방전 효율 과 열적 안정성 뿐 아니라 277mAh/g의 높은 이론용량을 갖고 있어 고용량 양극박막으로의 적용시 고용량 박막이차전지 제작이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 전 고상 박막 전지의 구현을 위하여 RF 스퍼터링법을 사용하여 Li[Li0.2Mn0.54Co0.13Ni0.13]O2 박막을 증착하였다. Li/MnCoNi의 몰 비율을 변화시켜 높은 전기화학적 특성을 갖는 분말을 합성하여 제조한 타겟으로 Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si 기판위에 RF 스퍼터법을 이용하여 박막을 성장시켰다. 박막 증착 시 가스의 비율은 Ar:O2=3:1로 하고 증착 압력의 조절(0.005~0.02 torr)을 통하여 박막의 두께와 표면 특성을 조절하며 성장시켰다. 또한 박막을 다양한 온도에서($400{\sim}550^{\circ}C$) 열처리하여 결정화도와 전기화학적 특성을 측정하였다. 증착 된 박막의 구조적 특성은 X-ray diffraction(XRD) 과 scanning electron microscopy(SEM)로 관찰되었다. 박막의 전기화학적 특성 평가를 위하여 Cyclic voltammatry를 측정하여 가역성의 정도를 확인하고 WBC3000 battery cycler를 이용한 half-cell 테스트를 통하여 박막의 용량을 평가하였다.

Osseointegrated titanium implants have become an integral therapy for the replacement of teeth lost. For dental implant materials, titanium, hydroxyapatite and alumina oxide have been used, which of them, titanium implants are in wide use today. Titanium is known for its high corrosion resistance and biocompatability, because of the high stability of oxide layer mainly consists of $TiO_2$. With the development of peri-implantitis, the implant surface is changed in surface topography and element composition. None of the treatments for cleaning and detoxification of implant surface is efficient to remove surface contamination from contaminated titanium implants to such extent that the original surface elemental composition. In this sights, the purpose of this study was to evaluate rough surface titanium implants by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) with respect to surface appearance and surface elemental composition. Moreover, it was also the aim to get the base for treatments of peri-implantitis. For the SEM and XPS study, rough surface titanium models were fabricated for control group. Six experimental groups were evaluated: 1) long-time room exposure, 2 ) air-powder abrasive cleaning for 1min, 3) burnishing in citric acid(pH1) for 1min, 4) burnishing in citric acid for 3min, 5) burnishing in tetracycline for 1min, 6) burnishing in tetracycline for 3min. All experimental treatments were followed by 1min of rinsing with distilled water. The results were as follows: 1. SEM observations of all experimental groups showed that any changes in surface topography were not detected when compared with control group. (750 X magnification) 2. XPS analysis showed that in all experimental groups, titanium and oxygen were increased and carbon was decreased, when compared with control group. 3. XPS analysis showed that the level of titanium, oxygen and carbon in the experimental group 3(citric acid treatment for 1min, followed by 1min of distilled water irrigation) reached to the level of control group. 4. XPS analysis showed that significant differences were not detected between the experimental group 1 and the other experimental groups except of experimental group 3. The Ti. level of experimental group 2, airpowder abrasive treatment for lmin followed by 1min of saline irrigation, was lower than the Ti. level of tetracycline treated groups, experimental group 5 and 6. From the result of this study, it may be concluded that the 1min of citric acid treatment followed by same time of rinsing with distilled water gave the best results from elemental points of view, and can be used safely to treat peri-implantitis.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the major characteristics associated with the flavor rate and their changes according to days after silking of super sweet corn(Cocktail 86) for vegetable and waxy corn(Chalok 1). Ear elongation finished around 22∼24 days after silking. In kernel development, elongation was much more prominant in super sweet corn than that in waxy corn but thickness was vice versa. Pericarp thickness and kernel hardness of super sweet corn were slightly increased but those of waxy corn were increased rapidly as the ears matured. Moisture and sucrose content of super sweet corn remained high but the waxy corn was not. The reducing sugars(glucose, fructose) were relatively high at the early maturity stage but they were decreased as the ears matured and negatively correlated with sucrose and flavor rate. Soluble solids (Brix %) were positively correlated with sucrose and total sugar(sucrose+ glucose+fructose) content in waxy corn but not in super sweet corn and was considered as inappropriate criate criterion to envaluate the sugar content and flavor rate. Pericarp thickness and sucrose content were positively correlated with the flavor rate in both hybrids but total sugar content, and kernel hardness were positively correlated with flavor rate in super sweet corn and waxy corn respectively.

기계적 에너지를 전기적 에너지로 변환하는 에너지 변환소자인 압전 세라믹스는 액추에이터, 변압기, 초음파모터 및 각종 센서로 응용되고 있으며, 그 응용분야는 크게 증가하고 있다. 최근에는 이러한 압전 소자를 앞으로 도래하는 ubiquitous, 무선 모바일 시대의 휴대용 전자제품, robotics 등의 분야에 적용하기 위하여 소형화 및 경량화를 구현하고자 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 압전 특성이 우수한 PNN-PMN-PZT 삼원계 세라믹을 이용하여 압전 트랜스포머를 제작하고 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 압전트랜스포머는 전왜-압전효과를 이용한 소전력용 고전압발생소자로서 종래의 권선형 트랜스포머에 비교해서 소형, 경량이면서 승압비가 높고 구조가 간단하므로 직류 고전압전원에 응용되고 있다. 압전트랜스의 이론적인 고찰은 Rosen 이후로 많은 연구자들에 의해서 보고되었다. 그런데 압전세라믹트랜스는 공진 시 강력한 에너지변환을 하기 때문에 재료의 물리적 특성이 매우 중요함에도 불구하고, 이러한 물리적 특성에 관한 연구는 거의 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 물리적 특성과 전기적 특성의 상호 연관성을 고찰하고자 하였다. 압전트랜스용 재료는 전기기계결합계수($k_p$)와 기계적품질계수(Qm)가 높아야 한다. 전기기계결합계수를 높이기 위해서는 상경계 조성의 Pb(Zr,Ti)$O_3$[PZT]계 세라믹스가 가장 우수하다. 본 연구에서는 기계적 품질계수를 향상시키기 위해서 $Pb(Nn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.06+x}(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.065-x}(Zr_{0.48}Ti_{0.52})_{0.875}0_3$계의 조성을 설계하여 압전특성을 평가하고 미세구조를 분석하였다. 또한 압전트랜스를 제작하여 입출력의 승압비 및 주파수 특성 등도 평가하였다.
