The studies of non-figure plain coarse pottery from Jeju island is very important because it can explain the characters of plain coarse potteries of the bronze age and the early iron age. In this study, We analyzed the non-figure plain coarse popery from Jeju island in two ways. One is analysis of the chemical composition using X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and X-ray diffraction, the other is analysts of clay mineral contained iron, oxidized iron's genus, valence state and magnetic properties using Mossbauer spectroscopy. We confidence that non-figure plain coarse pottery is chiefly made of silicate minerals, like SiO$_2$. The content of noncrystalline ferrihydrite is supposed to be below 5-10 wt%, non-figure plain coarse pottery is considered to partly consist of Jeju island clay, which is made of neutral volcanic rock and the valence state of iron is Fe$\^$2+/ and Fe$\^$3+/. We presume the reason that the magnetic hyperfine field is lower than that of pure goethite is the change of crystal structure which transforms the combination states of Fe ions while the clay is being fired.

$\textrm{WO}_3$ semiconductive film, which is known to have a sensitivity on $\textrm{NO}_X$ gas was prepared on 8YSZ (8% Yttria stabilized $\textrm{ZrO}_2$) ionic conductor substrate that has oxygen ion pumping effect. Microstructure and electrical properity, especially $\textrm{NO}_X$ sensitivity as a function of DC voltage applied to 8YSZ substrate was examined. When the $\textrm{WO}_3$ film was annealed, it showed amorphous structure, while crystallization was occurred at $600^{\circ}$C revealing orthorhombic phase of $\textrm{WO}_3$. As the annealing temperature increases, (111) and (001) peaks of $\textrm{WO}_3$ film was enhanced. At $400^{\circ}C$ when DC voltage was applied, comparing with no DC bias, more stable and large response characteristics was showed, and the best sensitivity was observed at 2V. Recovery characteristics of NO gas was much better that that of $\textrm{NO}_2$ gas.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) and HAp-Ag composite layers were coated on ZrO$_2$and Si wafer substrates by RF magnetron sputtering technique. The thickness of coating layers was in the range of 0.7∼1.0$\mu\textrm{m}$ and its roughness was 3∼4nm. The heat treated HAp coating layers were composed with nano-sized crystallines. However, the HAp-Ag composite layers showed the mixed structure with crystalline and amorphous phases. The Ca/P ratio of the as-received HAp coating layer was 1.9, but, the value was decreased as the Ag content with increased. Also, the Vickers hardness of HAp coating layer decreased as the Ag content increase.

The amorphous $SiO_x$ nanowires were synthesized by the vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) method. $SiO_x$ nanowires were formed on silicon wafer of temperatures ranged from $800{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ and nickel thin film was used as a catalyst for the growth of nanowires. A vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism is responsible for the catalyst-assisted amorphous $SiO_x$ nanowires synthesis in this experiment. The SEM images showed cotton-like nanostructure of free standing $SiO_x$ nanowires with the length of more than about $10{\mu}m$. The $SiO_x$ nanowires were confirmed amorphous structure by TEM analysis and EDX spectrum reveals that the nanowires consist of Si and O.

솔라셀은 차세대 대체 에너지 소스로 최근 큰 각광을 받고 있다. 솔라셀의 제조에 있어 가장 중요한 공정은 마이크로 결정질 및 비결정질 실리콘(uC-Si:H and a-Si:H) 박막을 증착하는 PECVD (Plasma Enhanced CVD)공정이다. 현재까지 이 증착공정을 위한 플라즈마 소스로 CCP(Capacitively Coupled Plasma)가 주로 사용되어 왔다. 그러나, CCP를 플라즈마 소스를 사용한 경우 솔라셀 대량 생산 적용시 다른 방법들에 비해 긴 공정 시간이 해결해야 할 문제점으로 대두되었다. 본 발표에서는 솔라셀의 대량 생산을 위한 마이크로 결정질 실리콘 박막 증착에 있어 현 시점에서 해결되어야 할 문제점에 대해 고찰해 보고자 한다. 현재까지 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 적용되어 왔던 플라즈마 소스들을 나열하고 이러한 플라즈마 소스에 대한 특성 및 문제점들을 고찰한다. 또한, PECVD 공정상의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 플라즈마 조건을 플라즈마 벌크에서의 전자에너지 분포를 기준으로 제시하고자 한다. 솔라셀용 결정질 실리콘 박막 증착용 플라즈마 소스로 hollow cathode 방전이 가장 유력시되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 CCP 플라즈마에서 hollow cathode 방전시 발생되는 플라즈마 특성에 대한 기초 연구를 제시한다. 기초 연구를 위해 다양한 불활성 가스인 아르콘, 헬륨, 크립톤 가스에 13.56 MHz의 RF 파워를 인가하고 방전되는 플라즈마 밀도 변화를 관찰하였다. 특히, 다양한 hole diameter에서 발생되는 플라즈마 밀도의 변화를 기존 평면 CCP 플라즈마의 밀도에 비교하여 분석함으로써 hole diameter에 따른 효과를 관찰하였다. 이러한 결과는 PIC 시뮬레이션을 통해 얻은 전자에너지 분포함수를 바탕으로 메커니즘을 논의하고자 한다. 마지막으로 솔라셀용 PECVD공정을 위해 고밀도 플라즈마 소스의 필요성뿐 만 아니라 대면적 소스의 구현에 대한 문제점을 고찰하였다. 대면적 공정에서 가장 중요한 핵심 연구 이슈는 공정 균일도를 높이는 것이다. CCP 플라즈마 소스에서 전극의 크기가 대면적화 됨에 따라 발생되는 전자기파 효과에 의한 불균일도에 대해 RF 전자기장 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하고, 균일도 확보를 위한 방안에 대한 논의하고자 한다.

In this study, DEIPA was used for enhancing cementitious performance of bottom ash replaced cement. By applying the partial or no-known crystal structure method to X-ray diffraction data, the amounts of amorphous bottom ash and calcium silicate hydrate(C-S-H) could be separated and quantified. In the sample without DEIPA, the bottom ash hardly reacted, resulting in low compressive strength. However, the addition of DEIPA not only altered the hydration behavior of the cement but also enhanced the pozzolanic reaction between bottom ash and calcium hydroxide, leading to the generation of additional C-S-H. This resulted in high compressive strength not only in the early stages but also in the later stages. Therefore, with the addition of DEIPA during the pulverization of the bottom ash, the reactivity of the bottom ash was significantly improved. Hence, there is potential in the development of bottom ash replacement cement.

This paper presents an investigation of the mechanical and microstructural properties of Class F fly ash based geopolymer containing sodium sulfate as an additive. Sodium sulfate was used as an chemical additive at the dosage levels of 0, 2, 4, and 6wt% of fly ash. Sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate solutions were used to activate fly ash. The compressive strengths of geopolymer pastes were measured at the age of 28 days. The microstructures of the geopolymer pastes were examined using XRD, MIP and SEM tests. The additions of 2wt% and 4wt% sodium sulfate produced geopolymers with high strength, while increasing the dosage of levels to 6% resulted in almost no changes in strength, comparing with the control geopolymer. The optimum increase in strength was obtained with the addition of 4wt% sodium sulfate. As the amount of sodium sulfate is increased, no additional crystalline phase was detected and no change of amorphous phase indicated despite the change in the strength development. The increase in the strength was due to the change of pore size distribution in samples. As addition of sodium sulfate altered the morphologies of reactive productions and Si/Al ratios of the reaction products, the strengths were thus affected. It was found that the strengths of geopolymer were larger for lower Si/Al ratios of reaction products formed in samples. The optimal amount of sodium sulfate in the fly ash based geopolymer helps to improve mechanical properties of the geopolymer, on the other hand, the high percentage of sodium sulfate could exist as an impurity in the geopolymer and hinder the geopolymer reaction.

This study presents microstructural characteristics and strength properties of alkali-activated kaolin(K)-fly ash(FA) blends binders. The compressive strength, X-ray diffraction(XRD), thermogravimetric(TG) analysis and SEM/EDS were measured for hardened samples. The results were shown that all the samples had developed the compressive strength over time, regardless of replacement levels of K. It was found that when the amount of K increased, the strengths of samples decreased. In XRD result, no new crystalline phases were observed in all the hardened samples other than the crystalline components of raw FA and K, whereas TG analysis showed that N-A-S-H gel was formed as a reaction product in all the samples. Samples did not have the typical microstructure of dense, and there is little significant difference between the microstructures of the samples despite the differences in the strength testing results with replacement ratios of K. This study showed that the strength of sample was larger for lower Si/Al ratio of reaction product formed in sample. According to the correlation between Si/Al ratio and strength in this study, it is expected that if a chemical additive is used for lowering the Si/Al ratio of reaction product(i.e., increasing the $Al_2O_3$ solubility) in alkali-activated K-FA blends binders, strength improvement in K-FA blends binders could be achieved.

TA26 seamount, which is located at south part of Tonga arc, occurs widely hydrothermal plume and is area that sampled hostrock, hydrothermal ore and hydrothermal alteration rock for this study. Hostrocks are basalt and basaltic andesite. Altered rocks by hydrothermal solution consists of plagioclase, pyroxene, pyrite, ilmenite, amorphous silica, barite, smectite, iron sulfates, Fe-Si sulfates and Fe silicates. Gains and losses of major, trace and rare earth elements during wallrock alteration suggest that $K_2O$(+0.04~+0.45 g), $SiO_2$(-6.52~+10.56 g), $H_2O$(-0.03~+6.04 g), $SO_4$(-0.46~+17.54 g), S(-0.46~+13.45 g), total S(-0.51~+16.93 g), Ba(-7.60~+185078.62 g), Sr(-36.18~+3033.08 g), Ag(+54.83 g), Au(+1467.49 g), As(-5.80~+1030.80 g), Cd(+249.78 g), Cu(-100.57~+1357.85 g), Pb(+4.91~+532.65 g), Sb(-0.32~+66.59 g), V(-113.58~+102.94 g) and Zn(-49.56~+14989.92 g) elements are enriched from hydrothermal solution. Therefore, gained(enriched) elements(($K_2O$, $H_2O$, $SO_4$, S, total S, Ba, Sr, Ag, Au, As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sb, V, Zn) represent a potentially tools for exploration of sea-floor hydrothermal deposits from the Tonga arc.

Crosslinked potato starches (XP), from 2,400 to 1,900 anhydroglucose units per crosslinked (AGU/CL), were prepared by reacting with epichlorohydrin. Some of the physicochemical properties of the XPs were then compared with those of native potato and cowpea starches. Crosslinking decreased moisture, protein and ash contents but had no effect on phosphorus content. Water binding capacities of the XPs increased as the degree of crosslinking increased, and that of the XP with 2,100 AGU/CL approached the value of cowpea starch. The absorption maxima of the starch-iodine complex shifted from 594 to 580 nm. Granule size increased slightly and surface appearance of the granule became rough when crosslinked. Both native and crosslinked potato starches showed B type X-ray diffraction pattern, and the relative crystallinity was not affected by crosslinking. Gelatinization temperature and the heat of gelatinization, measured by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), did not change within the range of crosslinking tested. From X-ray and DSC data, it was concluded that the crosslinking ocurred in the amorphous region of the starch granule.
