[ $MgB_2$ ]superconducting sheets have been fabricated using powder roll compaction method. Sheet-type $MgB_2$ bulk samples were successfully fabricated using the pre-reacted $MgB_2$ powders. In this work, $MgB_2$ powders were compacted by two rotating rolls and squeezed out as a form of $MgB_2$ sheets of ~1 mm thickness. The rolling speed of 0.3-0.7 rpm and the gap distance of 0.3-0.8 mm between the two rollers were carefully controlled to get a full compaction of the powders into bulk $MgB_2$ sheets. The densities of $MgB_2$ sheets were 1.98-2.05 g/$cm^3$, which is 75.44-77.99 % of the theoretical value of 2.63 g/$cm^3$. And the density comparison was made compared to those of typical $MgB_2$ bulks from uni-axial pressing and $MgB_2$ wires from Powder-In-Tube processing.

The photocatalytic performance of $TiO_2$ thin films coated on porous alumina balls using various aqueous $TiOCl_2$ solutions as starting precursors, to which 1.0 $mol\%$ transition metal ($Ni^{2+},\;Cr^{3+},\;Fe^{3+},\;Nb^{3+},\;and\;V^{5+}$) chlorides had been already added, has been investigated, together with characterizations for $TiO_2$ sols synthesized simultaneously in the same autoclave through hydrothermal method. The synthesized $TiO_2$ sols were all formed with an anatase phase, and their particle size was between several nm and 30 nm showing ${\zeta}-potential$ of $-25{\sim}-35$ mV, being maintained stable for over 6 months. However, the $TiO_2$ sol added with Cr had a much lower value of -potential and larger particle sizes. The coated $TiO_2$ thin films had almost the same shape and size as those of the sol. The pure $TiO_2$ sol showed the highest optical absorption in the ultraviolet light region, and other $TiO_2$ sols containing $Cr^{3+},\;Fe^{3+}\;and\;Ni^{2+}$ showed higher optical absorption than pure sol in the visible light region. According to the experiments for removal of a gas-phase benzene, the pure $TiO_2$ film showed the highest photo dissociation rate in the ultraviolet light region, but in artificial sunlight the photo dissociation rate of $TiO_2$ coated films containing $Cr^{3+},\;Fe^{3+}\;and\;Ni^{2+}$ was measured higher together with the increase of optical absorption by doping.

In this work the effect of pre-rolling on the homogenization and on the mechanical properties of 4.6% Mg-0.5% Mn-0.18% Cr-Al alloy has been studied. At room temperature tensile strength and elongation have been found to increase in the pre- rolled homogenized sample compared to those of the as cast sample. At $400^{\circ}C$ this pre-rolled homogenized sample has shown a little lower tensile strength and a remarkably higher elongation than the samples as casted or homogenized without pre-rolling. Metallurgical microstructure of the pre-rolled homogenized sample has shown conspicuously less secondary phase such as ${\beta}$-phase at the grain boundaries than the other samples. The difference of magnesium content between grain boundaries and within the grains has been also checked by EPMA. The test results show enhanced homogenizing effect by the pre-rolling before homogenizing heat treatment.

Since the surface diffusion processed $Nb_3Sn$ superconducting tape has the advantage of having large overall critical current density. it is used for the construction of open type MRI superconducting magnets. However one of the disadvantages of this tape is that $Nb_3Sn$ compound often exhibited multiple cracking due to its intrinsic brittleness when subjected to mechanical loading such as bending and winding during the fabrication process for superconducting coil. This will eventually cause the severe degradation of critical current density. Therefore it is important to understand the microscopic deformation behavior of this kind of superconducting tape under the mechanical loading.In this study, acoustic emission(AE) was used to clarify microscopic deformation behavior at room temperature for $Nb_3Sn$ superconducting tape which was strengthened and stabilized with copper. For this purpose, special attention was paid to AE characteristics including AE event, energy, and amplitude distribution which were associated with microscopic mechanism of deformation of $Nb_3Sn$ superconducting tape under tensile load.

The characteristics and stability of pigments produced by Monascus anka in a jar fermenter were examined The pigments produced by the mold were fractionated into four pigments, i.e., extracellular red pigment(ERP) extracellular yellow Pigment(EYP), intracellular red pigment(IRP) and intracellular yellow pigment(IYP) by the solvent fractionation method. These pigments showed characteristic absorption spectrum indicating that they were composed of different components of pigments. Each of these four pigments separated from Monascus anka were stable under ultraviolet light, fluorescent light and in dark conditions, but their color was faded rapidly under sun light. They were also very stable against temperature below 8$0^{\circ}C$, above which temperature the stability of the Pigments was decreased rapidly. Among the eight organic acids tested, tartaric and citric acids were found to be detrimental against the Monascus anka Pigments. And Cu$^{2+}$ ion showed the most deleterious effect on the color change of the pigments.s.

Transition metal ions doped $TiO_2$ nanostructured powders were prepared with simply heating aqueous $TiOCl_2$ solutions, contained various metal ions (Ni, Al, Fe, Zr, and Nb) of 1.47 mol% added as metal-chlorides, at $100^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs by homogeneous precipitation process under suppressing conditions of water vaporization. The characterizations for prepared $TiO_2$ powders were carried out to observe doping of metal ions, their concentrations and microstructures using XRD, UV-VIS (DRS), XPS, SEM, TEM and ICP. Also, photo-oxidative abilities were evaluated by decomposition of 4-chlorophenol (4CP) under ultraviolet light irradiations. No secondary oxide phases were formed in all the $VTiO_2$ powders, showing doping with various transition metal ions. When adding ions ($Ni^{2+}$ or$ Al^{3+ }$ and $Zr^{4+}$ ) having valance states or ionic radii greatly different from those of $Ti^{4+}$ , the $TiO_2$ powders of mixed anatase and rutile phases were formed, whereas in the case of additions of $^Fe{3+ }$ and $Nb^{ 5+}$ as well as no addition of metal ion the powders with pure rutile phase alone were formed. Among the prepared $TiO_2$ powders, Ni$^{2+}$ doped $TiO_2$ powders, containing a small amount of anatase phase, showed excellent photo-oxidative ability in 4CP decomposition because of relative decreases in electron-hole recombination and poisoning of $TiO_2$ surface during the photoreaction.n.

This paper dealt with the PD (partial discharge) characteristics produced by metallic particles presented in a gas insulated switchgear. Four types of metallic particles such as a ball, a trapezoid, a rectangle, and a twist were fabricated and placed in a PD cell filled with $SF_6$ gas. PD pulses were detected through a $50{\Omega}$ non-inductive resistor. Calibration was carried out according to IEC 60270 and the sensitivity was calculated as 4 mV/pC. Apparent charge, pulse count, DIV (discharge inception voltage), DEV (discharge extinction voltage), and TRPD (time resolved partial discharge) were analyzed. Among the metallic particle types, the twist frequently occurred PD pulse at the lowest DIV, while the rectangle showed the highest. DEV of the twist was about 2 times lower than that for the rectangle. Kurtosis of ball clustered at high value, and skewness of other three metallic particles distributed at low value. TRPD showed different distribution by metallic particle types.

티타네이트 나노튜브는 10 nm 이내의 내경과 0.74nm 정도의 크기를 갖는 층상 구조를 이루고 있어 높은 비표면적을 이용한 수소의 물리적 흡착뿐만 아니라 Ti-H 결합에 의한 화학적 흡착이 동시에 가능하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전이금속 원소 중 Ni을 첨가한 티타네이트 나노튜브를 합성하고 수소저장특성을 평가하고자 하였다. 티타네이트 나노튜브는 저온균일침전법으로 제조된 침상형의 $TiO_2$ 분말을 출발원료로 염화니켈을 $TiO_2$의 질량 비로 1~5wt% 첨가하고 10 M의 NaOH 수용액에서 일정시간 혼합한 후 $150^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 수열합성하였다. 합성된 분말의 입자형상 및 결정상은 전자현미경과 X-선 회절 시험을 이용하여 분석하였고, 입자의 비표면적은 액체질소흡착법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 전자현미경 관찰결과 이온교환 전후의 입자형상은 큰 변화가 없었던 반면 이온교환 후 입자의 비표면적이 30% 이상 증가함을 확인하였다. 특히 Ni의 도핑량이 증가함에 토라 입자의 비표면적도 함께 증가하였으며, 전자현미경 관찰결과 더욱 미세한 나노튜브가 형성됨을 확인할 수 있었다. P-C-T를 이용하여 측정한 순수한 티타네이트 나노튜브의 수소저장량이 20기압에서 1.2 wt% 정도로 측정된 반면 Ni이 5 wt% 첨가된 티타네이트 나노튜브의 경우 같은 압력에서 1.6 wt%를 나타내었다.

YBCO 초전도 박막을 제조하기 위해 일반적으로 사용되는 RABiTS공정을 통해 제조된 양축 정렬된 Ni 선재 위에 직접 YBCO를 증착시키려는 시도가 많이 이루어졌다. Ni 위에 직접 증착시킨 YBCO 박막은 c-축으로 정렬되는 온도에서 Ni이 확산되어 YBCO와 반응하여 초전도 물성을 약화시킨다. 이것을 방지하기 위하여 완층층을 먼저 증착을 하는 연구를 시행하였다. 본 연구는 Ni-5at.%W(100) 기판위에 hot-wall type MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition)를 이용하여 증착을 실시하였다. 완층층으로는 Ni, YBCO와 각각 4.70%, 3.32%의 lattice mismatch를 갖는 $Yb_2O_3$를 선택하였으며, 증착 조건으로는 온도 $800\;{\sim}\;1000^{\circ}C$, 시간 3 ~ 10min, 증착압력 10 Torr의 조건에서 증착을 행하였다. $Yb_2O_3$를 형성하기 위해 산소를 이용하였으나 $Yb_2O_3$(200) 형성을 방해하는 NiO(111)이 형성되었다. 산소를 대신해 수증기를 이용하여 NiO 상이 없는 $Yb_2O_3$(200)을 형성하였다. 증착 시간과 수증기 압력에 따른 $Yb_2O_3$의 $I_{(200)}/(I_{(111)}+I_{(200)})$의 상대 회절강도비를 XRD (X-ray diffraction)를 이용하였고, 증착된 표면 형상은 SEM(scanning electron microscopy)을 통해 관찰하였다.

The purpose of the study is to establish the effect of different abutment shapes and types of cements on the retention of the full veneer casted gold crowns. Metal dies that has the similar shape with the implant abutment were manufactured using a short(5mm) and long(10mm) dies with different convergence angles. Metal dies and gold crowns, which were made from the metal dies, were cemented with Temp-bond, Temp-bond mixed with petroleum jelly, ZPC and Premier implant cement. After that, these were tested for tensile force at the point of separation. The effect of convergence angle changes of different cement types on the retention was studied as well as the effects of the cement type changes with different convergence angles on the retention. In addition, study about the marginal gap of Premier implant cement used for this experiment was conducted. The results are as followed under the in-vitro experimental limits; 1. The retention of the Temp-bond mixed with petroleum jelly decreased as the convergence angle increased, and the retention was weakest among the cements. 2. The retention of ZPC decreased as convergence angle increased. When convergence angle was 5 degrees, ZPC showed stronger retention than Premier implant cement. 3. Premier implant cement had the weakest retention when the convergence angle was 5 degrees but when the convergence angle was 10 degrees, it had the strongest retention. As the angle increased more than 10 degrees, the retention decreased. 4. Premier implant cement showed bigger marginal gap when the convergence angle was 5 degrees than 10 degrees under the experimental condition.
