Synthesis of the crystalline film was investigated under the diamond growth condition with altering the addition of the nitrogen from 0% to 95%. With increasing the nitrogen concentration, surface morphology of the film was changed from the diamond film with {100} growth plane to the non-faceted diamond film with nano-scale grains. It also showed that the deposition of the diamond film could be synthesized using only methane and nitrogen gases without hydrogen gas. Separated particles with diamond structure showed an octahedral shaped I the nitrogen ranges between 30% and 80%, and newly formed hexagonal crystals are observed when substrate temperature with diamond structure, however, also identify that the hexagonal crystal was SiCN composite composed of Si, C and N atoms.

Nitrogen incorporated diamond-like carbon films were deposited by r.f. glow discharge of mixtures of benzene and ammonia gases. Mechanical properties, composition and atomic bond structure were investigated when the fraction of ammonia increases from 0 to 0.79 and the negative self bias voltage of cathode from 100 to 900 V. Both the residual compressive stress and the hardness decrease from 1.7 to 1.0 GPa and from 2750Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$ to 1700Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$, respectively. In addition to hydrogen, triply bonded nitrogens also play a role of teminal sites of the three dimensional atomic bond network. By considering the hydrogen concentration and the nitrogen bond characteristics, it can be shown that the mechanical properties of the films are determined by the content of three dimensional inter-links of $sp^2$ clusters. Although the mechanical properties are affected by the nitrogen addition, its depedence on the negative bias voltage is qualitatively identical to that of pure diamond-like carbon films.

Inorganic nitrogens resulting from fertilizers are possible contaminants of bank-filtered ground water, which is an alternative source of safe drinking water. We conducted a laboratory study to determine the fate of inorganic nitrogens in the near field of bank filtration sites and we consequently illustrated the effects of these possible contaminants on the water quailty of bank filtration. Soil properties were found to be well equivalent to those of other cultivated field soils in Korea. Surface soil pH was about 4.3 which is slightly lower than average level. Overall, diverse concentrations of $NO_3$-N and $NH_3$-N were measured, and $NO_2$-N was nearly undetected. $NH_3$-N level in the field decreased, while $NO_3$-N increased along with increasing depth of unsaturated zone. Numbers of viable and nitrifying bacteria ranged from 6.73$\times$$10^{6}$to 10.7$\times$$10^{6}$ and 0.44$\times$$10^{4}$ to 5.21$\times$$10^{4}$ respectively, and both of them were highly correlated ($R^{2}$=0.992). Nitrifying potential assayed by batch test showed relatively lower than other reported results. The oxygen uptake potential of surface and subsurface soil was measured in the presence of ${(NH_4)_2}$$SO_4$. The results demonstrated that surface soil required shorter lag period and uptaked more oxygen than subsurface's.

결정성 고분자수지는 가공조건에 의해 결정되는 미세구조의 변화에 따라 최종물성 이 현저히 달라지므로 최종 성형품의 물성을 극대화하기 위해서는 성형가공 중에 필연적으 로 부가되는 열이력 뿐만 아니라 전단이력이 결정화 거동에 미치는 영향을 규명하고 가공조 건의 최적화를 통하여 미세구조를 적절히 제어하는 것이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서 in-situ 상태로 전단유도 결정화거동을 조사할수 있는 rheo-kinetic 실험 방법을 개발하고 결정화 거동에 미치는 열이력과 전단이력의 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 비교적 결정화 속도가 빠른 폴리 부틸렌 테레프탈레이트 수지를 대상으로 냉각조건, 전단부가시간, 전단속도등을 다양하게 변화시키면서 plate-plate 레오미터로 시간에 따른 전단응력의 변화 를 조사하는 rheo-kinetic 연구를 수행하였다. 아울러 실험 중에 액체 질소로 급냉하여 얻은 시료를 대상으로 등온 및 비등온의 열분석 실험을 수행하고 JMA식과 Hoffman-Lauritzentlr 을 사용하여 분석한 다음, 그 결과를 rheo-kinetic 해석결과와 비교함으로써 결정화 거동에 미치는 전단응력의 영향을 규명하였다. 일정전단속동하에서 수행한 rheo-kinetic 실험결과, 시간에 따른 저난응력의 증가와 용융열이 증가하는 경향이 매우 유사한 거동을 보이므로 전 단응력의 증가는 결정화가 일어남에 기인한 결과임을 확인할수 있었으며 고분자수지가 전단 이력을 받게 되면 분자배향의 결과로 결정화 유도시간이 짧아지고 결정화속도가 증가할 뿐 만 아니라 보다 더 높은 온도에서 결정화가 일어나게 됨을 알수 있었다. 또 결정화 반가기 시간과 Hoffman-Lauritzen 식의 매개변수들이 전단속도, 전단부가시간, 결정화 온도 등의 이력에 무관하게 전단응력에 따라 선형적으로 변하고 있으므로 전단유도 결정화거동은 수지 에 부가되는 전단응력에 직접적인 영향을 받음을 알수 있었다. 이상과같은 전단유도 결정화 거동에 관한 결과를 가공공정상의 열전달 현상과 결합하여 해서하면 성형품 내부의모폴로지 의 예측이 가능하므로 성형품 물성의 극대화 방안의 수립에 이용될수 있을것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was carried to predict thermo-mechanical behaviors for carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced epoxy composites and to analyze the trends. Total of six models having the volume fractions of CNT from 0 to 25% in epoxy were constructed. To predict thermal behaviors, temperature was increased constantly from 300 to 600 K, and the glass transition temperature ($T_g$) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) analyzed using the relationship between temperature and specific volume. The elastic moduli that represented to the mechanical behaviors were also predicted by constant strain. Additionally, the effects of functionalization of CNT on mechanical behaviors of composite were analyzed. Models were constructed to represent CNTs functionalized by nitrogen doping and COOH groops, and interfacial behaviors and elastic moduli were analyzed. Results showed that the agglomerations of CNTs in epoxy cause by perturbations of thermo-mechanical behaviors, and the functionalization of CNTs improved the interfacial response as well as mechanical properties.

Recently, saw dust manure has been widely used in horticultural crop production in Korea. Animal manure is produced by decaying of livestock manure mixed with saw dust, and contained higher nutrients and ion concentration than the traditional manure made from rice straw and grasses. Therefore, a continuous application of the animal manure disregarding to soil characteristics may be ruined the soil conditions. This study was conducted to investigate the transportation of the nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, and ion concentration of the animal manure applied to volcanic and non-volcanic soils in Jeju islana Soil chemical analysis were done before and 180 days after animal manure application. After animal manure application, $NO_3$-N moved up to 90cm in volcanic soil, while the movement was limited to 60 cm in non-volcanic soil. Phosphate concentration was high up to 30 cm, where crop roots are mainly distributed, in volcanic soil, however, the phosphate moved up to 60 cm in volcanic soil. Exchangeable potassium moved up to 90 cm in volcanic soil, but the movement wns limited up to 60 cm in non-volcanic soil. For both soil types, no significant different in ion concentrations was observed up to 60 cm in soil depth, though the concentrations were higher in volcanic ash soils as compared to the non-volcanic ash soils.

Alluviums in the Keum River watershed cover an areal extent of $3,029{\;}\textrm{km}^2$ and contain about 8.1 billion tons of groundwater. However, the waters are severely polluted by nitrate, possibly due to the application of nitrogen fertilizer (>250 N kg/ha) on agricultural land. This paper aims to elucidate the pollution status and behaviors of nitrate in alluvial groundwaters in the Keum River watershed area, based on regional hydrogeochemical study. Most of the collected samples (n = 186) are polluted by nitrate (average = 42.2 mg/L, maximum = 295 mg/L). About 29% of the samples have the nitrate concentrations exceeding Korean Drinking Water Standard (44 mg/L $NO_3$). The distribution of nitrate concentrations in the study area is largely dependant on geochemical environments of alluvial aquifers. In particular, the decrease of redox potential of alluvial groundwaters showed a good correlation with the decreases of nitrate, iron, and manganese concentrations. Thus, the change of redox state in alluvial aquifers, likely reflecting their sedimentary environments, controls both the behavior and fate of nitrogen compounds and their natural attenuation (denitrification) in aquifers. A carbon-rich, silty layer within alluvium strata forms a reducing condition and possesses a buffering capacity on nitrate pollution.

The characteristics of $NO/N_2O$ annealed reoxidized nitrided oxide being studied as super thin gate oxide and gate dielectric layers of Non-Volatile Semiconductor Memory (NVSM) were investigated by Dynamic Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (D-SIMS), Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). The specimen was annealed by $NO/N_2O$ after initial oxide process and then rcoxidized for nitrogen redistribution in nitrided oxide. Out-diffusion of incorporated nitrogen during the wet oxidation in reoxidation process took place more strongly than that of the dry oxidation. It seems to indicate that hydrogen plays a role in breaking the Si N bonds. As reoxidation proceeds, incorporated nitrogen of $NO/N_2O$ annealed nitrided oxide is obsen-ed to diffuse toward the surface and substrate at the same time. ToF-SIMS results show that SiON species are detected at the initialoxide interface, and Si,NO species near the new $Si_2NO$ interface that formed after reoxidation. These SiON and $Si_2NO$ species most likely to relate to the origin of the state of memory charge traps in reoxidized nitrided oxide, because nitrogen dangling bonds of SiON and silicon dangling bonds of $Si_2NO$ are contained defects associated with memory effect.

409L 페라이트강은 스테인레스강내 Ti을 첨가함으로써 내식성이 우수한 자동차 배기계 부품용으로 개발된 강이다. 그러나 Ti 첨가시 용존산소 및 질소와의 반응 생성물에 의해 용강의 주조성, 표면품질, 등축정율 저하등 조업 및 품질문제를 발생시킨다. 한편 용강의 응고시 생성되는 미세 질화물은 주편의 등축정율을 높혀, 주편의 가공성 및 최종제품의 품질을 향상시키는 것으로 알려져있다. 따라서 스테인레스 용강중 Ti의 반응 생성물 제어는 매우 중요하며, 이를 위해서는 고 Cr 함유 스테인레스 용강내 Ti의 열역학적 거동과 타 원소와의 상호작용계수를 측정하여야 한다.

PEMBE(plasma enhanced molecular beam epitaxy)방법으로 성장된 GaN 박막의 초기 거동현상을 실시간 X-선 산란을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 표면이 원자 계단(atomic step)을 이루고 있는 사파이어 기판 위에 성장하는 GaN 박막은 layer-by-layer 모드로 성장 후 3D 모드로 성장을 하였다. 거친 표면을 가진 사파이어 기판 위에 성장하는 GaN 박막은 성장 초기는 표면을 평평하게 만든 후, 3D 모드로 성장하였다. 플라즈마로 생성된 이온화된 질소는 표면의 에너지를 변화시켜 GaN 박막의 증착을 증진시키고, 표면의 coverage를 증가시킨다.
