철강은 기본적으로 강도가 우수하고 그 매장량이 풍부할 뿐만 아니라 대량생산이 가능하다 또한 다른 금속과 합금을 구성하여 또 다른 특성을 부여할 수 있기 때문에 현재 전 세계 금속 생산량의 95%를 차지할 정도로 많이 사용되며, 각종 산업과 기술이 발달함에 따라 그 중요도는 점점 더 커져가고 있다. 하지만 철강은 사용 환경 중 부식에 의해 그 수명과 성능이 급격히 저하되기 때문에 내식성을 향상시키기 위하여 도장이나 도금 등의 표면처리를 포함한 다양한 방법이 적용되고 있다. 그 중 철강재의 도금 표면처리방법은 주로 아연을 이용한 용융도금이나 전기도금 등과 같은 습식 프로세스가 널리 사용되고 있다. 여기서 아연은 철보다 이온화 경향은 크나 대기 환경 중 산소와 물과 반응하여 Zn(OH)2와 같은 화합물을 형성함으로써 철강재 표면상 부식인자를 차단(Barrier)함은 물론 사용 중 철 모재가 노출되는 결함이 발생하는 경우에는 철을 대신하여 희생양극(Sacrificial Anode) 역할을 하기 때문에 철의 부식방식용 금속으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 한편 최근에는 철강의 사용 환경이 다양해짐은 물론 가혹해지고 있어서 이에 따른 내식성 향상이 계속해서 요구되고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 철강재의 내식성을 향상시키기 위한 일환으로 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 용융아연도금 강판 상에 아연보다 활성이 높은 마그네슘(Mg)을 건식 프로세스 방법 중에 하나인 PVD(Physical Vapour Deposition)법에 의해 코팅하는 것을 시도하였다. 일반적으로 PVD법에 의해 진공증착하는 경우에는 그 도입가스로써 불활성가스인 아르곤(Ar)을 사용하는 경우가 대부분이나 여기서는 상대적으로 비활성이면서 그 크기가 작은 질소(N2)가스를 도입하여 그 증착 막의 몰포로지는 물론 결정구조도 제어하여 그 내식특성을 향상시키고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 철강재의 내식성을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로 마그네슘(Mg)를 PVD(Physical Vapor Deposition)법 중 진공증착법(Vacuum Deposition)을 사용하여 용융아연도금 강판 상에 마그네슘 증착 막을 형성하였다. 즉, 여기서는 진공증착 중 질소(Nitrogen, N2)가스를 도입하여 진공챔버(Vacuum Chamber)내의 진공도를 $1{\times}10^{-1}$, $1{\times}10^{-2}$, $1{\times}10^{-3}$, $1{\times}10^{-4}$로 조절하며 제작하였다. 또한 제작된 시편에 대해서는 SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) 및 XRD(X-Ray Diffraction)을 사용하여 형성된 아연도금상 마그네슘 막의 표면 몰포로지 및 결정구조의 변화를 분석함은 물론 침지시험, 염수분무시험, 분극시험을 통해 이 막들에 대한 내식특성을 분석 평가하였다. 상기 실험결과에 의하면, 진공 가스압이 증가됨에 따라 마그네슘 막의 두께는 감소하였으며, 그 몰포로지의 단면은 주상정(Columnar)에서 입상정(Granular) 구조로 변화하며 표면의 결정립은 점점 미세화 되는 경향을 나타냈다. 이때의 표면의 결정배향성(Crystal orientation)은 표면에너지가 상대적으로 큰 면이 우세하게 나타나는 경향이 있었다. 또한 본 실험에서 형성한 진공증착 막은 비교재인 용융아연도금강판보다 우수한 내식성을 나타냈고, 본 형성 막 중에는 마그네슘 막 두께가 작음에도 불구하고 질소 가스압이 가장 큰 조건일수록 내식성이 우수한 경향을 나타냈다. 이상의 결과는 철강재의 내식성 향상을 위한 응용표면처리설계에 기초적인 지침을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Optical properties of $Ag_2CdSnSe_4$ and $Ag_2CdSnSe_4:Co^{+2}$ quaternary semiconductor single crystals grown by the chemical transport reaction method were investigated. The analysis of the X - ray powder diffraction measurements showed that these crystals have a wurtzite structure with lattice constants a = 4.357 $\AA$, c = 7.380 $\AA$, for $Ag_2CdSnSe_4$ and a = 4.885 $\AA$, c = 7.374 $\AA$, for $Ag_2CdSnSe_4:CO^{2+}$. The direct band gap at 298K, obtained from the optical absorption measurement, is found to be 1.21 eV for $Ag_2CdSnSe_4$ and 1.02 eV for $Ag_2CdSnSe_4:CO^{2+}$. The shrinkage of the band gap due to Co-doping is observed and is about 190 meV, We observed four absorption bands of $Co^{2+}$ ions in two near infrared regions of optical absorption spectra of $Ag_2CdSnSe_4$:$Co^{+2}$. These absorption bands were assigned as due to electronic transitions between the split energy levels of $Co^{2+}$ ions in $T_d$ crystal field under spin-orbit interactions.

The chalcopyrite $Cu(In_xGa_{(1-x)})Se_2$ (CIGS) is considered to be one of the effective light-absorbing materials for thin film photovoltaic solar cells. We describe the electrodeposition of CIGS thin films in ambient laboratory conditions, and suggest the electrochemical conditions to prepare stoichiometric CIGS thin films of Ga/(In + Ga) = 0.3. In acidic solutions containing $Cu^{2+}$, $In^{3+}$, $Ga^{3+}$ and $Se^{4+}$ ions, the CIGS films of different Cu/In/Ga/Se chemical compositions were electrodeposited onto Mo/Glass substrate. The structure, morphology and chemical composition of electrodeposited CIGS films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), respectively.

Even though a lately reported method of high temperature exchange labelling of o-iodo-hippuric acid (Hippuran) in the absence of oxidizing agent was considered to be an attractive one, the exchange mechanism was somewhat unclear. In this study iodine isotope exchanges between o-iodohippuric acid (OIH) and radioiodide ($^{125}$ $I^{ }$) or between OIH and molecular radioiodine ($^{125}$ $I_2$) were carried out at two different temperatures. Rate constants and activation parameters were measured by applying a radio-paper chromatography technique. Since o-iodobenzoic acid is known as a by-product in the exchange labelling of OIH, data were also obtained for the OIB-iodide systems for comparison. The rate constant was increased in the order of OIB...$^{125}$ $I^{[-10]}$ >OIB...$^{125}$ $I_2$>OIH..$^{125}$ $I^{[-10]}$ >OIH...$^{125}$ $I_2$ and the activation parameters for OIH were generally larger than those for OIB :$\Delta$H$\neq$$_{OIH}$>$\Delta$H$\neq$$_{OIB}$, $\Delta$S$\neq$$_{OIH}$>$\Delta$S$\neq$$_{OIB}$. These results suggest that the mechanism of the high temperature exchange is predominantly nucleophilic even though some electrophilic character can also be involved depending upon reaction conditions. Such a fact may well be caused by a feasible formation of hydrogen bonding type transition state due probably to the ortho substituent effect of-CONHC $H_2$COOH. Thus, the high temperature exchange method is estimated to be quite effective for labelling Hippuran especially at a small research center where reducing agent-free $^{131}$ I is unavailable.ailable..

$Li_4Sn_xTi_{5-x}O_{12}$ was manufactured by high energy ball milling (HEBM) and used as an anode material for lithium ion battery. Various amount of $SnO_2$was added to $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ and heated at different temperatures. The purpose of this research was to see the effect of $SnO_2$ addition into $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$. Manufactured samples were analyzed by TGA, XRD, SEM, PSA. Battery cycler was used to test the charge/discharge properties of active materials. Heat treatment temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ was needed to make a stable structure of $Li_4Sn_xTi_{5-x}O_{12}$ and the particle size distribution was $0.2{\sim}0.6\;{\mu}m$. Charge/discharge process was repeated for 50 cycles at room temperature. The initial capacity was 168mAh/g and the voltage plateau was observed at 1.55V(Li/$Li^+$).

Purpose: Lipophilic cations including tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP) salts penetrate the hydrophobic barriers of the plasma and mitochondrial membranes, resulting in accumulation in mitochondria in response to the negative inner transmembrane potentials. The development of radiolabeled phosphonium cations as a noninvasive imaging agent may serve as a new molecular "voltage sensor" probe to investigate the role of mitochondria in the pathophysiology and diagnosis of cancer. Materials and Methods: We have synthesized a reference compound (4-fluorophenyl)triphenylphosphonium (TPP) and a labeled compound $[^{18}F]$TPP via two step nucleophilic substitution of no-carrier-added $[^{18}F]$fluoride with the precursor, 4-iodophenyltrimethylammonium iodide, in the presence of Kryptofix-2.2.2 and $K_2CO_3$. Result: The reference compound (4-fluorophenyl)triphenylphosphonium (TPP) was synthesized in 60% yield. The radiolabeled compound $[^{18}F]$TPP was synthesized in $10\sim15%$ yield. The radiochemical purity of the $[^{18}F]$TPP was $95.57{\pm}0.51%$ (n=11). Conclusion: $[^{18}F]$TPP was successfully synthesized that might have a potential to be utilized as a novel myocardial or cancer imaging agent for PET. However, it is required to improve the radiochemical yield to apply $[^{18}F]$TPP in preclinical or clinical researches.

The electronic spectra of enzyme-model organocobalt(Ⅲ) complexes containing completely or partially conjugated macrocyclic ligands were measured in various solvents to investigate the solvent effect on the charge transfer band for the axial cobalt-carbon bond by the extent of conjugation in the equatorial macrocyclic ring; completely conjugated, $CH_3CoL,\;C_6H_5CoL,\;CNCoL,\;CH_3CoL',\;CNCoL'$, partially conjugated $CH_3(py)Co(DH)_2, CH_3CoL＂$, unconjugated dienes, $[CH_3Co(1,4-CT)](ClO_4)_2$, and open ring, $CH_3Co(salen)$. The position of the charge transfer band which corresponds to the cobalt-carbon bond was shifted to a shorter wavelength as the polarity of solvent increased and the transition energy $(E_T)$ had a linear relationship with solvent polarity parameter, Z-value, only in the case of completely conjugated system. However, the linear correlation between $E_T$and Z was not observed for partially conjugated and open ring systems.

Barley contains health-beneficial compounds, such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, lignans, and tocopherols. The antioxidant activities of pearled and wholegrain hull-less, premature, and black barley harvested in Jeju were investigated by measuring total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), phenolic compounds, tocopherols (T), and tocotrienols (T3), along with their in vitro antioxidant activities. Consequently, TPC and TFC in wholegrain barley groups were higher than those in pearled barley. Gallic acid (1.55-2.98 ㎍/g) and protocatechuic acid (0.67-2.84 ㎍/g) were the predominant phenolic compounds in barley. Total T and T3 concentrations of wholegrain barley groups were significantly higher than those of pearled barley (p<0.05). Except for the metal chelating effect and reducing power, the in vitro antioxidant activities of wholegrain barley were significantly higher than those of pearled barley. These results indicate that wholegrain Jeju barley can be used as a natural antioxidant source in the food industry.
