${\beta}-$Ag_2S$(high temperature phase) was grown by solid/vapour reaction growth based on solid -state electrochemisty. In S/V growth, one of the reactants, silver ion, is supplied to the growth surface through the solid $Ag_2S$ from one side and the other reactants, surfur, is transported in the phase of vapour from the other side. With the sufficient supply of S vapour, the growth rate increased as increasing $T_d$(decomposition temperature of $Ag_2S$) and ${\Delta}T$ between $T_d$ and $T_g$(temperature of growth surface). At low S vapour pressure, growth rate decreased with decreased vapour pressure and ${\beta}-$Ag_2S$ was grown in the form of whisker, when Ag+ion is sufficiently supplied. The measured values of electronic conductivity of ${\beta}-$Ag_2S$ showed that electronic conductivity of the poly crystal was larger than that of single crystal.

This paper presents an experimental study conducted to investigate the effect of recycled fine aggregate (RFA) on the mechanical properties and chloride diffusion behavior of mortar. The test results revealed that the addition of RFA plays an important role in the mechanical properties and pore structures of the investigated mortar specimens as well as chloride diffusion behavior. The mechanical properties such as compressive strength and flexural strength of recycled fine aggregate mortar (RFAM) were gradually decreased as RFA replacement ratio increase. The pore structure of RFAM was examined by permeability tests. The RFAM showed a increment in the permeability according to replacement ratio increase of RFA. But the chloride diffusion coefficient of RFAM was almost same up to 50% replacement ratio of RFA due to a chloride binding phenomenon of RFAM which may compensate the higher permeability of RFAM.

In this experimental study, effect of milled glass fibers was investigated on corrosion resistance of PSC grout mortar. In order to check whether the mortar mixture with milled glass fibers satisfy the required properties as a PSC grout, time of flow, bleeding and compressive strength measured. The corrosion resistance were investigated through chloride ion migration test, mortar absorption test and surface resistivity measurement. It is confirmed that all proportions with milled glass fibers have better corrosion resistance than that with only OPC binder. Time of flow was reduced but the bleeding was increased to unacceptable level by using milled glass fibers. Consequently, the mix proportion with milled glass fibers for a PSC grout should be modified to have lower water/binder ratio.

The photo-response characteristics of polysilicon based metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetector structure, depending on deuterium treatment method, was analyzed by means of the dark-current and the light-current measurements. Al/Ti bilayer was used as a Schottky metal. Our purpose is to incorporate the deuterium atoms into the absorption layer of undoped polysilicon, effectively, for the defect passivation. We have introduced two deuterium treatment methods, a furnace annealing and an ion implantation. In deuterium furnace annealing, deuterium bond was distributed around polysilicon surface where the light current flows. As for the ion implantation, even thought it was a convenient method to locate the deuterium inside the polysilicon film, it creates some damages around polysilicon surface. This deteriorated the photo-response in our photodetector structure.

Nuclear power plant concrete structures are in contact with the coast, and durability due to chloride attack is very important because it is used as cooling water by taking seawater. For this purpose, a 3-year long-term saltwater immersion test was carried out to evaluate chloride ion diffusion coefficient and age apponent (m) The m values of the foundation with 4,000 class was 0.35 ~ 0.39, similar to KCI or ACI suggested values. essential service water constructions and tunnels of 5,000 class were 0.44 ~ 0.53 and 6,000 class, and 0.62 of reactor containment buildings were similar to the proposed values of FIB. As a result of the prediction of the service life with the measured age coefficient, all the safety related concrete structures of the nuclear power plants satisfied the service life of more than 60 years.

Transglucosidase (TG) from Aspergillus niger was immobilized on various carriers by several immobilization methods such as ionic binding, adsorption, entrapment, covalent linkage and metal chelation to improve the process performance. The covalent linkage with CNBr-activated sepharose 4B was found as the best method for immobilization of TG based on the immobilization yield which was 61.3%. The immobilization through ionic binding and adsorption gave 33.1% and 22.5% yield respectively but both methods were not selected due to lower yield than covalent linkage using CNBr-Sepharose 4B. Internal diffusion resistance in beads developed by entrapment were not suitable factor in producing final target products. Covalent linkage of TG on magnesium silicate, silica gel and glass bead and metal chelation method didn't result in higher yield than the selected one, either.

The most common carbonaceous anode materials of lithium ion batteries (natural graphite, artificial graphite, hard carbon, and mesocarbon microbeads) were utilized as an electrode in lithium ion capacitors. It could be able to enhance the energy density of capacitors due to the intercalation of lithium ion. In this work, the properties of capacitors using the symmetric electrode were measured by organizing coin cell typed capacitors. Also, we made other capacitors having pre-intercalated lithium ions at one side of the electrode. The results of electrochemical measurements for these capacitors show that the storage capacitance was appeared. In other words, if the migration of lithium ions is supplied continuously in the electrolytes, lithium ions can be diffused into the carbonaceous materials. And it results in the improvement of capacitance compared to only using symmetric carbonaceous electrodes. Also, we conducted the same measurement with graphene oxide having a the large specific area in the same condition. Herein, we recognized that the large specific area is extremely important for supercapacitors.

The effect of high energy B ion implantation and initial oxygen concentration upon defect formation and gettering of metallic impurities in Czochralski silicon wafer has been studied by applying DLTS( Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy), SIMS(Secondary ton Mass Spectroscopy), BMD (Bulk Micro-Defect) analysis and TEM(Transmission Electron Microscopy). DLTS results show the signal of the deep levels not only in as-implanted samples but also in low and high temperature annealed samples. Vacancy-related deep levels in as- implanted samples were changed to metallic impurities-related deep levels with increase of annealing temperature. In the case of high temperature anneal, by showing the lower deep level concentration with increase of initial oxygen concentration, high initial oxygen concentration seems to be more effective compared with the lower initial oxygen one.

The effect of Ba addition on the thermal stabilization of $\gamma$-$Al_2O_3$ powders were studied. Ba additive was introduced into $\gamma$-$Al_2O_3$ powders by wet impregnation of $Ba(No_3)_3$.$6H_2O$. Ba additive was proved to be effective on the thermal stabilization of $\gamma$-$Al_2O_3$ powders by suppression of sintering. The optimum content of Ba was determined by 5 mol%, through the calcinations temperature range. It is suggested that the main reason of thermal stabilizaton is the substitution effect of large $Ba^{2+}$ ions into the $\Al^{3+}$ sites, which suppressed the surface diffusion of $\Al^{3+}$ ions.

Hydroxyapatite[COL] nanocomposite was prepared through coprecipitation process. The chemical bond formation between HAP and COL was confirmed by diffusive reflectance FT-IR and TEM observation. Higher concentration of COL in the preparation induced tiny nanocrystalline composite particles, but lower concentration of COL contributed to form the well developed HAP particles. From TEM observation and ED(Electron Diffraction) pattern the embedded HAP nanoparticles were oriented along the c-axis of COL fiber. In an aqueous system of constant [Ca$\^$2+/] and [PO$_4$$\^$3-/], quantity of soluble COL matrix was doing an important role of controlling the heterogeneous nucleation site for the formation of HAP nanocrystals. Higher concentration of COL will provide more nucleation sites for Ca$\^$2+/ and so the concentration of calcium ions for the total number of active nucleation sites will be getting relatively dilute.
