The morphology of the high burnup $UO_2$ spent fuel, which was oxidized and annealed in a PIA (Post Irradiation Annealing) apparatus, has been observed. The high burnup fuel irradiated in Ulchin Unit 2, average rod burnup 57,000 MWd/tU, was transported to the KAERI's PIEF. The test specimen was used with about 200 mg of the spent $UO_2$ fuel fragment of the local burnup 65,000 MWd/tU. This specimen was annealed at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 4hrs after the oxidation for 3hrs to grain boundary using the PIA apparatus in a hot-cell. In order to oxidize the grain boundary, the oxidation temperature increased up to $500^{\circ}C$ and held for 3hrs in the mixed gas (60 ml He and 100 ml STD-air) atmosphere. The amount of 85Kr during the whole test process was measured to know the fission gas release behavior using the online system of a beta counter and a gamma counter. The detailed micro-structure was observed by a SEM to confirm the change of the fuel morphology after this test. As the annealing temperature increased, the fission products were observed to move to the grain surface and grain boundary of the $UO_2$ matrix. This specimen was re-structured through the reduction process, and the grain sizes were distributed from 5 to $10\;{\mu}m$.

Perovskite lanthanum doped lead titanate ($(Pb,La)TiO_{3}$ or PLT) thin films were successfully fabricated on Pt/TijSiO.iSi substrates at the temperatures as low as $440~500^{\circ}C$ by eleclron cyclotron resonance plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (ECR PECVII). Since the volatilities of the MC sources arid oxide molecules (especially Ph oxide) increased with increasing deposition temperature, the film deposition rate and the (I'b + La)/'Ti ratio decreased Stoichiometric perovskite PL'T films with good dielectric and leakeage current properties were obtained at the temperatures of $460~480^{\circ}C$. The lanthanum content of the film was nearly directly propotional to $La(DPM)_{3}$ flow rate. As the La/Ti ratio increased from 3.0 to 9.5%, the dielectric constant increased from 360 to 650 and the leakeage current density at 100kV/cm electric field decreased from $4{\times}10^{-5}$ to $4{\times}10_{-8}A/cm^2$.

Hexagonal shape Si crystals were grown by the mixed-source hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) method of mixing solid materials such as Si, Al and Ga. In the newly designed atmospheric pressure mixed-source HVPE method, nuclei are formed by the interaction between GaCl_n, AlCl_n and SiCl_n gases at a high temperature of 1200℃. In addition, it is designed to generate a precursor gas with a high partial pressure due to the rapid reaction of Si and HCl gas. The properties of hexagonal Si crystals were investigated through scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD), and Raman spectrum. From these results, it is expected to be applied as a new material in the Si industry.

In this study, we tried to observe the permeation on the single $O_2$, $CF_4$ and $SF_6$ gas using a PSF (polysulfone), PC (tetra-bromo polycarbonate) and PI (polyimide) hollow fiber membranes. We also observed the permselectivity on the $O_2/SF_6$ and $CF_4/SF_6$. According to the results of single gases permeation for different pressures, PSF membrane has the highest $O_2$ permeation of 37.5 GPU and PC membrane has the highest $SF_6$ permeation of 2.7 GPU and the highest $CF_4$ permeation of 2.5 GPU at 1.1 MPa. According to the results of single gases permeation for different temperatures, PSF membrane has the highest permeation of $O_2$ at $45^{\circ}C$ and PC membrane has the highest permeation of $SF_6$ and $CF_4$ at $25^{\circ}C$. From the result of $O_2/SF_6$ and $CF_4/SF_6$ permselectivity for different pressures and temperature, the highest permeation and the lowest permselectivity were observed in the PSF and PC membrane. On the contrary, the lowest permeation and the highest permselectivity was observed in the PI membrane.

In this study, a bubbling fluidized-bed reactor was used to study $CO_2$ capture from flue gas using a potassium-based dry sorbent. A dry sorbent, manufactured by the Korea Electric Power Research Institute, consists of 35% of $K_2CO_3$ for $CO_2$ absorption and 65% of supporters for mechanical strength. $H_2O$, a reactant of the carbonation reaction, was supplied in the reactor as a form of saturated water vapor at a given temperature. The experiment of the regeneration reaction was performed by raising up to a given temperature using $N_2$ as a fluidization gas. It was indicated that sorption capacity and regenerability of dry sorbents showed high-efficiency at $1.97\;mol\;H_2O/mol\;CO_2$ and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively. The regenerated sorbent samples were analyzed by TGA to confirm the extent of the reaction. When the regeneration temperature was $150^{\circ}C$, the regenerability of dry sorbents was about 60%, which was capable of applying those sorbents to a two-interconnected fluidized-bed reactor system with continuous solid circulation. The results obtained in this study can be used as basic data for designing and operating a large scale $CO_2$ capture process with two fluidized-bed reactors.

반도체 소자의 고집적화 및 고속화가 요구됨에 따라 MOSFET 구조의 게이트 절연막으로 사용되고 있는 SiO₂ 박막의 두께를 감소시키려는 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 0.1㎛ 이하의 소자를 위해서는 15Å 이하의 두께를 갖는 SiO₂가 요구된다. 하지만 두께감소는 절연체의 두께와 지수적인 관계가 있는 누설전류를 증가시킨다[1-3]. 따라서 같은 게이트 개패시턴스를 유지하면서 누설전류를 감소시키기 위해서는 높은 유전상수를 갖는 두꺼운 박막이 요구되는 것이다. 그러므로 약 25정도의 높은 유전상수를 갖고 5.2～7.8 eV 정도의 비교적 높은 bandgap을 갖으며, 실리콘과 열역학적으로 안정한 물질로 알려진 HfO2[4-5]가 최근 큰 관심을 끌고 있다. 본 연구에서는 HfO₂ 박막을 실제 소자에 적용하기 위하여 전극 및 열처리에 따른 HfO₂ 박막의 미세구조 및 전기적 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해, HfO₂ 박막을 reactive DC magnetron sputtering 방법으로 증착하고, XRD, TEM, XPS를 사용하여 ZrO₂ 박막의 미세구조를 관찰하였으며, MOS 캐패시터 구조의 C-V 및 I-V 특성을 측정하여 HfO₂ 박막의 전기적 특성을 관찰하였다. HfO₂ 타겟을 스퍼터링하면 Ar 스퍼터링에 의해 에너지를 가진 산소가 기판에 스퍼터링되어 Si 기판과 반응하기 때문에 HfO₂ 박막 형성과 더불어 Si 기판이 산화된다[6]. 그래서 HfO₂같은 금속 산화물 타겟 대신에 순수 금속인 Hf 타겟을 사용하고 반응성 기체로 O₂를 유입시켜 타겟이나 시편위에서 high-k 산화물을 만들면 SiO/sub X/ 계면층을 제어할 수 있다. 이때 저유전율을 갖는 계면층은 증착과 열처리 과정에서 형성되고 특히 500℃ 이상에서 high-k/Si를 열처리하면 계면 SiO₂층은 증가하는 데, 이것은 산소가 HfO₂의 high-k 박막층을 뚫고 확산하여 Si 기판을 급속히 산화시키기 때문이다. 본 방법은 증착에 앞서 Si 표면을 희석된 HF를 이용해 자연 산화막과 오염원을 제거한 후 Hf 금속층과 HfO₂ 박막을 직류 스퍼터링으로 증착하였다. 우선 Hf 긍속층이 Ar 가스 만의 분위기에서 증착되고 난 후 공기중에 노출되지 않고 연속으로 Ar/O₂ 가스 혼합 분위기에서 반응 스퍼터링 방법으로 HfO₂를 형성하였다. 일반적으로 Si 기판의 표면 위에 자연적으로 생기는 비정질 자연 산화막의 두께는 10～15Å이다. 그러나 Hf을 증착한 후 단면 TEM으로 HfO₂/Si 계면을 관찰하면 자연 산화막이 Hf 환원으로 제거되기 때문에 비정질 SiO₂ 층은 관찰되지 않았다. 본 실험에서는 HfO2의 두께를 고정하고 Hf층의 두께를 변수로 한 게이트 stack의 물리적 특성을 살펴보았다. 선증착되는 Hf 금속층을 0, 10, 25Å의 두께 (TEM 기준으로 한 실제 물리적 두께) 로 증착시키고 미세구조를 관찰하였다. Fig. 1(a)에서 볼 수 있듯이 Hf 금속층의 두께가 0Å일때 13Å의 HfO₂를 반응성 스퍼터링 방법으로 증착하면 HfO₂와 Si 기판 사이에는 25Å의 계면층이 생기며, 이것은 Ar/O₂의 혼합 분위기에서의 스퍼터링으로 인한 Si-rich 산화막 또는 SiO₂ 박막일 것이다. Hf 금속층의 두께를 증가시키면 계면층의 성장은 억제되는데 25Å의 Hf 금속을 증착시키면 HfO₂ 계면층은 10Å미만으로 관찰된다. 그러므로 Hf 금속층이 충분히 얇으면 플라즈마내 산소 라디칼, 이온, 그리고 분자가 HfO₂ 층을 뚫고 Si 기판으로 확산되어 SiO₂의 계면층을 성장시키고 Hf 금속층이 두꺼우면 SiO/sub X/ 계면층을 환원시키면서 Si 기판으로의 산소의 확산은 막기 때문에 계면층의 성장은 억제된다. 따라서 HfO₂/Hf(Variable)/Si 계에서 HfO₂ 박막이 Si 기판위에 직접 증착되면, 순수 HfO₂ 박막의 두께보다 높은 CET값을 보이고 Hf 금속층의 두께를 증가시키면 CET는 급격하게 감소한다. 그러므로 HfO₂/Hf 박막의 유효 유전율은 단순 반응성 스퍼터링에 의해 형성된 HfO₂ 박막의 유전율보다 크다. Fig. 2에서 볼 수 있듯이 Hf 금속층이 너무 얇으면 계면층의 두께가 두꺼워 지고 Hf 금속층이 두꺼우면 HfO₂층의 물리적 두께가 두꺼워지므로 CET나 EOT 곡선은 U자 형태를 그린다. Fig. 3에서 Hf 10초 (THf=25Å) 에서 정전 용량이 최대가 되고 CET가 20Å 이상일 때는 high-k 두께를 제어해야 하지만 20Å 미만의 두께를 유지하려면 계면층의 두께를 제어해야 한다.

For the determination of absorbed dose to water from a linear accelerator photon beams, it needs a exposure calibration factor $N_x$ or air kerma calibration factor $N_k$ of air ionization chamber. We used the exposure calibration factor $N_x$ to find the absorbed dose calibration factors of water in a reference source through the TG-21 and TRS-277 protocol. TG-21 used for determine the absorbed dose in accuracy, but it required complex calculations including the chamber dependent factors. The authors obtained the absorbed dose calibration factor $N_{dw}{^{Co-60}}$ for reduce the complex calculations with unknown $N_{dw}$ only with $N_x$ or $N_k$ calibration factor in a TM31010 (S/N 1055, 1057) ionization chambers. The results showed the uncertainty of calculated $N_{dw}$ of IC-15 which was known the $N_x$ and $N_{dw}$ is within -0.6% in TG-21, but 1.0% in TRS-277. and TM31010 was compared the $N_{dw}$ of SSDL to that of PSDL as shown the 0.4%, -2.8% uncertainty, respectively. The authors experimented with good agreement the calculated $N_{dw}$ is reliable for cross check the discrepancy of the calibration factor with unknown that of TM31010 and IC-15 chamber.

The film won the Golden Palm Award at the Cannes Film Festival, and received the Academy Award for a non-English-speaking film in February 2020, respectively. It has received a monumental evaluation in the world film history. Overall, this film is about class conflict, and critics evaluate the theme of the film as "badly twisted class gap" and "anger from class." The film expresses an intrinsic conflict embodied in culture as a "tragedy in which no bad person appears," rather than the dichotomous composition of the classical class struggle from Marxism. In other words, this can be seen as expressing the substrated class relationship of the modern society that Pierre Bourdieu had argued. This film has been focused as a controversial target under Korea society with excess of ideology. Politics used to adopt the keyword, 'parasite', for political disputes not only in culture contents world. Paradoxically socialism China did not allow to release film 'Parasite.' On the other hand, Lee O-Yong argues that the movie "Parasite" does not look at social phenomena through a dichotomous perspective, but is viewed through a "double perspective" and evaluates that it does not lose eyes looking at humans through tension. This view is based upon 'Vital Capitalism'. Lee. O-Yong looks at the movie "Parasite" from the perspective of "Vital Capitalism". The theory of Vital Capitalism does not seek to find the root of historical development in class struggle conflicts, but rather figuring out history and society pays attention onto the intrinsic characteristics of life, Topophilia, Neophilia, and Biophilia. Lee Eo-ryeong argues that the development of civilization theory evolved from the stage of Hobbes' Darwinism or predatism to the stage of host vs. parasite of Michel Serres, and onto the stage of Margulis's 'Win-Win (inter-dependence)'. In this paper, after overview of vital capital concept and preceeding research, re-interpretations were tried onto scenes based upon fields from habitus, culture capital. This exploration looks for a alternative for excess of ideology in Korea society.

The worldwide effects of COVID-19 have led to a surge in online shopping and contactless services. The consumption pattern has caused the issues such as the environmental pollution together with the increase of plastic waste. Reducing the reliance on the petroleum based plastic use for the package and replacing it with environmentally friendly material are the simple ways in order to solve those problems. Paper is an eco-friendly product with high recyclability as the food packaging materials but has still poor barrier properties. A barrier coating on surface of the paper can be achieved with the proper packaging materials featuring water, gas and grease barrier. Polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) coatings which are generally laminated or coated to paper are widely used in food packaging applications to protect products from moisture and provide water or grease resistance. However, recycling of packaging containing PE or PP matrix is limited and costly because those films are difficult to degrade in the environment. This study investigated the recyclability of modified acrylic emulsion coating papers compared to PE and PP polymer matrixes as well as their mechanical and gas barrier properties. The results showed that PE or modified acrylic emulsion coated papers had better mechanical properties compared to the uncoated paper as a control. PE or PP coating papers showed strong oil resistance property, achieving a kit rating of 12. Those papers also had a significantly higher percentage of screen reject during the recycling process than modified acrylic coated paper which had a screen rejection rate of 6.25%. In addition an uncoated paper had similar value of a screen rejection rate. It may suggest that modified acrylic emulsion coating paper can be more easily recycled than PE or PP coating papers. The overall results of the study found that modified acrylic emulsion coating paper would be a viable alternative to suggest a possible solution to an environmental problem as well as enhancing the weak mechanical and poor gas barrier properties of the paper against moisture.
