금속 산화물/그래핀 형태의 복합 나노소재는 높은 전기용량을 갖는 2차 전지의 전극용 소재 또는 고감도 가스 센서의 감지물질 등으로 활용되는 매우 유용한 기능성 소재이다. 본 논문에서는 열 화학기상증착(CVD, Chemical Vapor Deposition)으로 Cu Foil 위에 대면적으로 합성된 CVD 그래핀 및 고정렬 열분해 흑연(HOPG, Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite)으로부터 기계적으로 박리된 그래핀 기판 위에 이산화바나듐($VO_2$) 나노구조물을 기상수송방법으로 직접 성장시키는 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과 CVD 그래핀 기판의 경우, 그래핀 결정 경계에서 상대적으로 많이 존재하는 기능기들이 $VO_2$ 나노구조물에서 핵형성의 씨앗으로 작용하는 것이 확인되었다. 반면에 HOPG에서 기계적으로 박리된 그래핀 나노시트 표면에는 기능기가 균일하게 분포하기 때문에, 2차원과 3차원 형태로 $VO_2$ 나노구조물이 성장되었다. 이러한 연구결과는 고기능성 $VO_2$/그래핀 나노복합소재를 이용하여 높은 전기용량을 갖는 2차 전지 전극소재 및 고감도 가스 센서의 감지물질 합성에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 전망된다.

In this study, the effect of the initial particle size distribution (PSD) of (K_0.5Na_0.5)NbO₃ powders on the microstructure of sintered ceramics was investigated. (K_0.5Na_0.5)NbO₃ powders with uni-, bi-, tri-, and quad-modal PSDs were obtained through a planetary ball-mill. For the specimens sintered at 1080℃, the growth of abnormal grains was promoted from the powders exhibiting quad- and tri-modal PSDs with a high content of large particles, resulting in a microstructure in which huge abnormal grains were predominant. However, as the number of peaks in PSD and the overall particle size decreased, the abnormal grain growth was suppressed and the grain growth of small particles started, resulting in a microstructure with a uniform grain size. For the specimens sintered at 1100℃, huge abnormal grains were not observed due to the decrease in the critical driving force for 2D nucleation even when powders with quad- and tri-modal PSDs were used. It was confirmed that when powder with unimodal PSD was used, a uniform microstructure that was not significantly affected by the sintering temperature could be obtained. The results of this study demonstrate that the microstructure of (K_0.5Na_0.5)NbO₃-based ceramics can be controlled by controlling the particle size of the initial powder.

In this study, the heteroepitaxial thin film growth of β-Ga₂O₃ was studied according to the position of the susceptor in mist-CVD. The position of the susceptor and substrate was moved step by step from the center of the hot zone to the inlet of mist in the range of 0~50 mm. It was confirmed that the average thickness increased to 292 nm (D1), 521 nm (D2), and 580 nm (D3) as the position of the susceptor moved away from the center of the hot zone region. The thickness of the lower region of the substrate is increased compared to the upper region. The surface roughness of the lower region of the substrate also increased because the nucleation density increased due to the increase in the lifetime of the mist droplets and the increased mist density. Therefore, thin film growth of β-Ga₂O₃ in mist-CVD is performed by appropriately adjusting the position of the susceptor (or substrate) in consideration of the mist velocity, evaporation amount, and temperature difference with the substrate, thereby determining the crystallinity of the thin film, the thickness distribution, and the thickness of the thin film. Therefore, these results can provide insights for optimizing the mist-CVD process and producing high-quality β-Ga₂O₃ thin films for various optical and electronic applications.

The strain, surface and interfacial energies of III-V ternary systems were calculated for three kinds of structure modes: the Frank-van der Merwe(FM) mode, the Stanski-Krastanov(SK) mode and the Volmer-Weber(VW) mode. The free energy for each mode was estimated as functions of thickness and composition or lattice misfit. Through comparison of the free energy of each mode, it was found that the thickness-composition phase diagrams of III-V ternary systems can be determined only by considering the balance of the free energy and three kinds of structure modes appear in the phase diagrams. The SK mode appears only when the lattice misfit is large and/or the lattice layer is thick. The most stable structure of the SK mode is a cluster with four lattice layers or minimum thickness on a wetting layer of increasing lattice layers. The VW mode appears when the lattice misfit is large and the lattice layer is thin and only in the INPSb/InP and GaPSb/GaP system which have the largest lattice misfit of III-V ternary systems. The stable region of the SK mode in the GaPSb/GaP and InPSb/InP phase diagrams is largest of all because the composition dependence of the strain energy of these systems is stronger than that of the other systems. The critical number of lattice layers below which two-dimensional(2D) layers precede the three-dimensional(3D) nucleation in the SK mode at x=1.0 depends on the lattice misfit.

알루미늄 합금의 미세조직 개량을 위한 목적으로 사용되는 Al-Ti-B 합금계의 미세화제는 재활용 과정에서 붕소(B)의 농축(Agglomeration) 문제 및 Zr, Si, Cr 등을 함유하는 합금에서 미세화 효과가 급격히 감소하는 Poisoning effect 등이 지적되어 왔다. 최근에는 이를 대체할 수 있는 Al-Ti-C 합금계의 미세화제에 대한 연구가 활발한데 이는 TiC가 용탕 내에서 ${\alpha}$-Al의 핵생성처로 직접 작용하는 점에 착안한 것이다. 한편, 이들 Al-Ti-B, Al-Ti-C 계의 미세화제는 그 제조공정에서 $K_2TiF_6$를 이용함에 따라 불소함유 유해가스를 배출하여 환경 문제를 야기하고, 이를 포집/정화하기 위한 추가설비를 요구하게 된다. 따라서 대기 환경 오염 및 경제성 측면에서 유리한 미세화제의 친환경 제조기술에 대한 개발이 필요한 시점이다. 본 연구에서는 $K_2TiF_6$를 사용하지 않고 용탕 내의 자발적 반응을 이용하여 환경 및 경제적 측면에서 유리한 Al-Ti-C 미세화제를 개발하고자 하였다. A3003 합금을 대상소재로 하여 개발된 Al-Ti-C 미세화제와 상용 Al-Ti-B 미세화제의 미세화 도달시간 및 fading 발생 등을 비교하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 Al-8.6Ti-0.025C 미세화제는 상용 Al-Ti-B 미세화제 보다 적은 첨가량에도 유사한 미세화 성능을 나타내었으며 용탕 유지시간 100분까지도 fading이 발생하지 않는 것을 확인하였다.

In the RABiTS approach to coated conductor development, successful (both economic and technological) depends on the refinement and optimization of each of three important components: the metal tape substrate, the buffer layer(s), and the HTS layer. Here we will report on the ORNL approach and progress in each of these areas. - Most applications will require metal tapes with low magnetic hysteresis, mechanical strength, and excellent crystalline texture. Some of these requirements are competing. We report on progress in obtaining a good combination of these characteristics on metal alloys of Ni-Cr and Ni-W. - The deposition of appropriate buffer layers is a crucial step. Recently, base research has shown that the presence of a stable sulfur superstructure present on the metal surface is needed for the nucleation and epitaxial growth of vapor-deposited seed buffer layers such as YSZ, CeO$_2$ and SrTiO$_3$. We report on the details and control of this superstructure for nickel tapes, as well as recent results for Cu and Ni-13%Cr. - Processes for deposition of the HTS coating must economically provide large values of the figure-of-merit for conductors, current x length. At ORNL, we have devoted efforts to a precursor/post-annealing approach to YBCO coatings, for which the deposition and reaction steps are separate. We describe motivation for and progress toward developing this approach. - Finally, we address some issues for the implementation of coated conductors in real applications, including the need for texture control and electrical stabilization of the HTS coating.

우리는 decalin 용액으로부터 결정화 통해 선형 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 (LLDPE) 입자를 제조하였다. 열 유도 상 분리 (TIPS) 공정에서 입자의 형성은 LLDPE/decalin 용액을 제어하여 냉각하는 동안에 형성되었다. 높은 폴리머 농도에서 결정화를 위한 핵 생성과 성장속도의 증가에도 불구하고, 일반적으로 저 농도에서 보다 큰 입자를 초래하였으며, 결과적으로 LLDPE는 decalin 용액에서 농도가 증가할수록 LLDPE 입자의 평균 직경이 증가했습니다. FE-SEM 의 현미경사진에서, 다양한 농도로부터 관찰된 입자는 10 ${\mu}m$ 보다 작았으며, 구형 형태를 나타내었다. 부가적으로 그 크기에 대한 효과를 보면, LLDPE 입자 크기 분포는 폴리머 농도가 높을 때가 폭이 컸다.

In ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition, a precursor solution is evaporated by an ultrasonic atomizer, then gas-carried into a furnace where the solute is separated from the water vapor. After condensation, polymerization, and nucleation, the solute oxide forms a thin film. To improve the deposition efficiency, the ultrasonic atomizer was studied to optimize the evaporated gas flow. The vat cover was redesigned, using three versions with different inlet factors being tested through a computational fluid dynamic analysis as well as a water evaporation experiment. The atomization rate with a hemispherical cover with a $30^{\circ}$ inlet was found to be 2.4 times higher than that with the original. This improvement was verified with fluorine-doped tin oxide spray pyrolysis deposition. The film obtained with the modified vat cover was 2.4 times thicker than that obtained with the original vat cover.

Recently, a sheet forming process of Mg alloys is highlighted again due to increasing demand for Mg wrought alloys in the applications of casings of mobile electronics and outer-skins of light-weight transportation. Microstructure control is essential for the enhancement of workability and formability of Mg alloy sheets. In this research, AZ31 Mg alloy sheets were prepared by hot rolling process and the rolling condition dependency of the microstructure and texture evolution was studied by employing a conventional rolling mill as well as an asymmetric rolling mill. When rolled through multiple passes with a small reduction per pass, fine-grained and homogeneous microstructure evolved by repetitive dynamic and static recrystallization. With higher rolling temperature, dynamic recrystallization was initiated in lower reduction. However with increasing reduction per pass, deformation was locallized in band-like regions, which provided favorable nucleation sites f3r dynamic recrystallization. Through post annealing process, the microstructures could be transformed to more equiaxed and homogeneous grain structures. Textures of the rolled sheets were characterized by $\{0002\}$ basal plane textures and retained even after post annealing. On the other hand, asymmetrically rolled and subsequently annealed sheets exhibited unique annealing texture, where $\{0002\}$ orientation was rotated to some extent to the rolling direction and its intensity was reduced.
