The oxidation states of structural Fe in clay minerals often reflect the paleo-redox conditions of the depositional environments. It is inevitable to utilize the high resolution of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to investigate the mechanism of mineral transformation at nano-scale. The applications of TEM- electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) for quantification of $Fe(III)/{\Sigma}Fe$ from the K-nontronite formation associated with structural Fe(III) reduction in nontronite under deep subseafloor environment were demonstrated. In particular, quantification of the changes in Fe-oxidation state at nanoscale is essential to understand the mechanisms of minerals formation. The procedure of EELS acquisition, quantitative determination of Fe-oxidation states, and advantages of EELS techniques were discussed.

산화아연은 높은 열전도도와 열용량을 갖으며, 결정 부피의 44%만이 아연 및 산소 이온으로 채워져 있어 결함의 생성이 다양하여 여러 가지 전기적, 광전기적, 촉매 특성등을 부여할 수 있어 산업전반에 널리 이용되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 초음파 분무 연소합성법을 이용하여 Zinc nitrate hexahydrate를 산화제로, Carbohydrazide를 환원제로 사용하여, 연소합성을 위한 에너지를 최대희 얻기 위해 산화수와 환원수의 비율이 1:1이 되게 조절하여 전구체의 산화ㆍ환원 반응을 이용하여 액적의 체류시간, 농도, 온도, filtering 효과등을 조절하면서 액적 단위로 연소반응을 유도함으로써 부가적인 하소과정이 필요없이 상전이가 완료된 구형의 나노크기 ZnO 분말을 in-situ로 제조하여 입자의 크기와 형 태, 결정상등을 분석하였다.

In this study, we analyzed the descriptions of the electron movement model and the oxidation number change model presented in the 2009 revised curriculum and textbooks. We also investigated chemistry education major teachers' conceptions of limitations of each model. The electron movement model and oxidation number change model were presented in the curriculum and the textbooks. However, hybrid model was also presented which fail to grasp the limitation of each model. The hybrid model explains redox reactions of covalent bond compounds by electron movement model or even if it explains redox reactions by oxidation number change model, this explanations have the problem of confusing the virtual electron movement with the actual electron movement. A questionnaire and interviews were conducted to investigate chemistry education major teachers' perceptions of redox reactions. As results, many teachers did not recognize the limitations of each model and had difficulties to distinguish redox reactions from acid-base reactions because of the hybrid model.

Electrolyzed reduced water (ERW), showing extremely negative oxidation-reduction potential, was used to investigate the effects of paraquat-induced damages on DNA from human lymphocyte. The effect of ERW on paraquat-induced oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes was evaluated by Comet assay (single-cell gel electrophoresis) quantified as percentage fluorescence in tail. Comet assay has been used widely to assess the level of the DNA damage in individual cells. Lymphocytes were oxidatively challenged with various concentrations of paraquat for 30 min at $37^{\circ}C$, and were then treated with electrolyzed reduced water for 30 min. The oxidative DNA damage by paraquat, as indicated by the fluorescent tail in DNA, increased in a dose-dependent manner. However, oxidative damage of the DNA was almost completely prevented upon treatment with electrolyzed reduced water.

It is shown that one-electron reduction of nitric oxide (NO) to nitroxyl anion $(NO^-)$ can be accelerated by vibrational energy. Potential energy surfaces of NO and $NO^-$ reveal that the vertical transition between them has favorable energetics for vibrationally excited molecule. Also, Franck-Condon factors between NO and $NO^-$ vibrational wave functions are calculated. It shows that the number of open channels increases with increased vibrational energy. These results mean that we can control the rate of reduction of NO to $NO^-$ by radiating an appropriate light.

In this study, PPy/gold/mylar type electroactive bi-layer actuator was prepared by the electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole onto the gold/mylar film and the actuation characteristics were studied using bending beam method. Conducting polymer-based actuators undergo volumetric changes due to the movement of dopant ions into the film during the electrical oxidation process. The bilayer films exhibited different actuation characteristics depending on dopant ion size. It was observed that the relatively small dopant ion (i.e. toluene sulfonate) moved into the PPy film at oxidized state, so volume expanded to result in bending motion. In case of the film having large dopant ion (i.e. dodecylbenzenesulfonate), volume expansion was observed at reduced state. This is due to the incorporation of $Na^+$ counterion with water molecules, while the large dopant ion was fixed in the film due to the limited mobility during tile redox process.

본 연구에서는 분사연소합성(SCS)을 위한 기초단계로서 용액연소합성에 대한 거동을 살펴보고자 알루미나 합성을 모델로 하였으며 이를 위해 전구체에 대한 열분해거동, 그리고 각 온도에서의 평형종 분압 계산 및 합성과정을 조사하였다. 각각의 열중량 분석(TGA) 결과 산화제와 환원제(연료)의 열분해 이력이 서로 다르게 나타났으며, 열역학 응용 프로그램인 ChemSag에 의한 평형종 분압의 계산에서 연소속도를 저하시킬 수 있는 $CO_2$와 수증기 가스 분압이 상당부분 존재하였다. 산화제/환원제 혼합물의 열분석(DTA/TG) 결과 산화제와 환원제의 열분해 거동의 차이, 그리고 매우 작은 시료의 양으로 인해 263$^{\circ}C$에서 발열피크가 매우 작게 나타났다. 열분석 시료에 비해 발열 에너지를 높이기 위해 산화제와 환원제 혼합 전구체를 비이커에서 증기압을 조절하며 가열시켜 본 결과 27$0^{\circ}C$에서 $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$생성물을 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 분사연소합성 반응을 통해 세라믹 원료를 합성하기 위해서는 연소과정 중 열분해 거동과 평형종의 분압을 고려하여야 한다.

The variation of acidity, pH and oxidation-reduction potentials of Dongchimi (a kind of large raddish pickle) during its fermentation was investigated. Estimation of oxidation-reduction potentials was carried out by the electric method. 1. Acidity was increased-3.5% by lactic acid and pH was decreased 3.4 during Dongchimi fermentation. 2. In Dongchimi, oxidation-reduction potentials was comparatively high (rH above 10) in the earlier stage and then decreased rapidly from rH 15 to 2.0 but slightly increased rH 5.0 in the later stage of the fermentation. 3. It is suggested that the earlier stage of fermentation was more aerobic condition than the later stage.

$UO_2$-CeO$_2$ 모의혼합분말에 첨가제를 미량 첨가하여 소결체의 미세구조 변화를 $UO_2$분말의 경우와 비교, 관찰하였다. 소결 첨가제로서 Ta, Ti 및 Nb를 사용하였으며, 이들을 미세한 산화물의 형태로 $UO_2$ 및 $UO_2$-CeO$_2$에 첨가하여 환원성 및 산화성 분위기에서 각각 소결하였다. Ta, Ti 및 Nb는 환원소결에서 $UO_2$의 결정립을 성장시켰으나 산화소결에서는 첨가효과가 크게 나타나지 않았다. $UO_2$-0.lw%TiO$_2$와 $UO_2$-0.6w%Ta$_2$O$_{5}$의 환원소결체에서 eutectic phase가 관찰되었으나 산화소결체에서는 나타나지 않았다. $UO_2$-4wt%CeO$_2$의 환원소결에서는 Ti만이 결정립성장에 기여하는 것으로 나타났으며 Ta, Nb와 같이 $UO_2$에 치환형으로 고유되는 원소는 Ce 이온과 Cluster를 형성함으로 결정립성장에 거의 기여하지 못하고, Ti와 같이 UO2$_2$ 침입형으로 고용되는 원소는 일부가 인접한 Ce$_{U}$' 이온과 cluster를 형성하더라도 나머지가 V$_{U}$'의 형성에 기여하므로서 결정립을 성장시킬 수 있다.

$LaFeO_3$ and substituted $LaFeO_3$ mixed oxides were prepared by Citrate and Cyanide method in air $850^{\circ}C$/24h. These oxides of orthorhombic perovskite were characterized by XRD and IR, but substituted $LaFeO_3$ with 0.5mol Cu at B site was not obtained single phase. Also, reduction reaction of un-substituted $LaFeO_3.17$ were two steps but each site substituted oxides were three steps reactions. These means that new reduction step of each site substituted oxides were atributed tot dopant.
