The distribution of impurity included in benzene layer crystal was explored in layer crystallization of cyclohexane and benzene mixtures. The influence of crystal growth rate on crystal purity was investigated. All experimental results for bezene-cyclohexane system obtained in layer crystallizer have been evaluated with the criterion of Wintermantel. The purity of crystal decreases with increasing degree of subcooling, decreasing feed concentration and increasing crystal growth rate. The crystal growth rate was a key parameter to determine the inclusion of impurity in crystals. The results obtained from runs performed at increasing crystallization time(i.e. crystal thickness) have clearly shown that migration of inclusions within crystal layer to the melt, leading to the removal of impurity occurs. The diffusion of impurity which takes place during the crystallization from the beginning, enhances a further purification of the crystal layer if that underwent a thermal gradient after growth of the layer crystal stops.

이번 연구는 system-on-panel에 적용하기 위한 비휘발성 메모리의 전하보유시간 및 메모리 윈도우 특성 향상에 관한 연구이다. 이를 위해 SiO2/SiOX/SiOXNY의 메모리 구조를 이용하였으며, 채널층으로 결정화 온도에 따른 수소화된 미세결정 실리콘-게르마늄을 이용하였다. 채널 층으로 사용된 수소화된 미세결정 실리콘-게르마늄은 비정질 실리콘-게르마늄보다 더 낮은 bandgap과 더 적은 defect density로 인하여 더 향상된 전하보유시간 및 메모리 윈도우를 얻을 수 있었다. 결정화가 거의 이루어지지 않은 실리콘-게르마늄 비휘발성 메모리의 경우 약 4.9V의 메모리 윈도우를 얻을 수 있었다. 반면 300oC에서 약 43.4%의 결정화가 이루어진 실리콘-게르마늄의 메모리 윈도우는 약 5.9V로 약 17%의 향상이 있으며, 10년 후 74.5%의 높은 전하보유시간을 가졌다.

The non-isothermal crystallization behavior of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) copolymer was investigated by DSC and imaging FTIR analysis. Modified non-isothermal Avrami analysis was applied to interpret the crystallization behavior of ETFE. It was found that the less linearity in ln[-ln(1-X(t))] vs. ln(t) plot was obtained in thermal analysis comparison with imaging FTIR due to relatively small crystallization enthalpy change in ETFE. It means that imaging FTIR measured by overall IR absorption intensity change due to the crystallization was found to be effective to understand the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of ETFE. In addition, the optical transmittance of ETFE was studied. The crystallite developed by slow cooling caused the light scattering and resulted in the increase of haze and the lowering of transmittance up to 8%. From our results, it was confirmed that cooling rate is an important processing parameter for maintaining optical transmittance of ETFE as a replacement material for glass.

The large-area crystallization of amorphous silicon thin films on glass backplanes is one of the key technologies in the manufacture of flat-panel displays. Joule-heating induced crystallization (JIC) is a recently introduced crystallization technology. It is considered a highly promising technique for fabricating OLEDs, because the film of amorphous silicon on glass can be crystallized in tens of microseconds, minimizing thermal and structural damage to the glass. In this study, we theoretically and experimentally investigated the temperature variation during the phase transformation. The critical temperatures for crystallization were determined for both solid-solid and solid-liquidsolid transitions, by carrying out in-situ temperature measurements and numerical analysis of the JIC.

The crystallization method determines the material quality and consequent device performance. This paper investigates the crystallization of a-Si:H films on various substrate materials and analyzes the crystallization effect with and without using eutectic forming metals. From the examinations of the various substrate materials, a metal Mo was selected for the a-Si:H films growth and subsequent crystallization of it. For a sample without any eutectic metal layer, we observed grain size of $0.8{\mu}m$ after $1100^{\circ}C$ anneal treatment. To reduce crystallization temperature, we used some of the eutectic forming metals such as Au, Al and Ag. Poly-Si films with grain size over $10{\mu}m$ and (111) preferential plains were achieved using a premetal layer of Au at an anneal temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. The various crystallization effects of eutectic metal thickness and type were investigated for photovoltaic (PV) device applications.

이트륨 옥살레이트 결정화에 있어서 반응물의 농도, 반응 온도, 반응물의 주입속도 변화등의 반응조건(reaction condition)의 변화와 반응기 내에서의 교반속도와 같은 hydrodynamic condition의 변화가 생성된 옥살레이트 결정의 입자크기, 결정형태등에 미치는 영향을 체계적으로 관찰하였다. 그리고 agglomeration의 영향에 의한 particle의 크기변화에 있어 생성물의 과포화는 agglomerates를 결정 짓는 가장 중요한 변수이다. 또한 반응성 결정화에 의해서 얻어진 Yttrium Oxalate가 온도 변화에 따라서 Yttrium Oxide로 열분해되는 온도구간과 결정구조의 변화 및 분자 구조의 변화를 관찰하여 최종의 Yttrium Oxide가 생성되는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the crystal structure and the crystallinity of PLA(PolyLactic Acid) were studied. PLA is a eco-friendly thermoplastic which completely decomposed by microorganisms, but has low thermal stability and low degree of crystallinity. The low crystallization rate makes the cycle time of injection molding longer and the degree of crystallinity lower. It is a very big disadvantage comparing the other thermoplastics. We improved the degree of crystallinity and the crystallization rate by introducing nucleating agents and plasticizer, and discussed the mechanism.

The structure development of drawn poly(trimethylene terephthalate) PTT as a function of draw down ratio and drawing temperature was studied. The special effort was made to find out the effect of structural development on thermal properties and crystallinity in drawn PTT. The changes in shrinkage ratio and mechanical properties were understood base on the level of crystallinity and orientation of the drawn PTT. The stress induced crystallization caused the increase in glass transition temperature and the decrease in cold crystallization temperature and enthalpy. The crystallinity and orientation were dependent upon the level of applied stress level as well as chain flexibility at high drawing temperature. The drawing resulted in the increase of shrinkage ratio but it was minimized by increasing of crystallinity. The development of orientation resulted in increasing modulus and tensile strength while decreasing elongation at break.

The crystal phases precipitated in various compositions glass of CaO-$SiO_2-P_2O_5$ system, were identified by XRD. E composition (CaO 49.4, $SiO_2\;36.8,\;P_2O_5$ 8.8 wt%) glass in which both apatite(($Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6O$ and $\beta$-wollastonite($CaSiO_3$) crystals would precipitate by heating, was selected as an experimental composition to prepare the glass ceramics with high bending strength and good bioactivity to the living bone. Glass powders of E composition were unidirectionally crystallized at $1050^{\circ}$C in the temperature-gadient furnace and the resultant glass ceramics were characterized. Bending strength of the glass ceramics was also measured. To investigate the bond forming ability between the glass ceramics and living bone tissue, soaking test of glass ceramics in simulated body fluid was carried out. Densed glass ceramics composed of apatite and $\beta$-wollastonite crystal were prepared by unidirectional crystallization under the optimum conditions. (2 0 2) plane of $\beta$-wollastonite crystals tended to grow perpendicularly to the crystallization direction. Average bending strength of this glass ceramics was 186.9 MPa, higher than that of the glass ceramics prepared by isothermal (not directional) crystallization In soaking test, a thin layer of apatite crystallite was formed on surface of the glass ceramics in 3 days. Apatite crystals formed on the glass ceramics could be act a role to make the chemical bond between the glass ceramics and living bone tissue.
