The efect of A1 addition and sintering condition on mutization behavior between alumina and silica in alumina-based shell mold was investigated. A1 addition and high sintering temperature increased the degree of mullitization between alumina/silica but decreased the room temperature strentgh of the shell molds. It was identified that the sintered strength of the shell molds was in range of 2.0~2.6kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$. Al addition suppressed deflection of the shell molds at high temperature. Especially, no deflection was observed in the specimen which was sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 1hr with 2.5wt% Al. The specimen sintered at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 4hrs with no Al addition also displayed no deflection.

$SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 축광성 형광체의 합성에 있어서 $B_2O_3$는 일반적으로 고상반응의 촉진을 위한 플럭스로서 첨가된다. 본 연구에서는 플럭스로 첨가되는 $B_2O_3$가 $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 형광체의 결정구조 및 잔광 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 합성된 $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 형광체는 520nm에서 최대 피크를 갖는 폭넓은 발광 스펙트럼을 나타내었고, $B_2O_3$ 첨가량의 5wt%일 때 최대값을 나타내었다. $B_2O_3$의 첨가에 의해 $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 결정 내부에는 균일 변형(uniform strain)이 발생하였고 이 결과로 결정격자의 a축과 c축의 길이 및 $\beta$각이 감소하여다. 그리고 $SrAl_2O_4$ 결정내부의 균일 변형은 $Eu^{2+}$이온의 여기과정에서 발생하는 정공(hole)의 포획 사이트인 음이온 결함(negative defect)을 다량 발생시키는 원인이 되고, 결과적으로 $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 결정의 잔광 특성을 향상시키는 것으로 생각되었다.

Alumina(Al₂O₃) is a ceramic material used in industry with a range of particle sizes and characteristics. In this study, a boehmite sol was prepared by a hydrolysis and peptizing process using the Sol-Gel method from aluminum isopropoxide (AIP). γ-Al₂O₃ was prepared by drying and calcining. To prevent particle agglomeration during the manufacturing process, four kinds of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with molecular weights of 9,000~10,000, 31,000~50,000, 89,000~98,000, and 130,000 were added and three concentrations of HNO₃ (0.1, 0.3, 0.5 molar ratio) were added to determine their effects on the particles. The crystal structure, composition, particle size and shape of the prepared γ-Al₂O₃ were confirmed through x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray fluorescence analyzer (XRF), particle size analyzer (PSA), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). As a result, γ-Al₂O₃ with a purity of approximately 98.2% was synthesized, and the particle size decreased and the uniformity increased with increasing ratio of HNO₃ addition and PVA molecular weight. From these results, the particle size can be controlled during the manufacturing process of γ-Al₂O₃ by controlling the addition ratio of PVA and HNO₃.

Fracture behavior and martensite substructure of Ni-36.5at.%Al alloy were investigated with the addition of vanadium which is known as scavenging element of grain boundary. The fracture surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy and the EDX spectrometer was applied for composition analysis of fracture surfaces. The substructure of martensite was studied by transmission electron microscopy. By addition of vanadium, fracture surfaces show mixed modes of intergranular and transgranular fracture and more Al content is found on the grain boundaries. For Ni-36.5at.%Al alloy, the planar faults observed in the martensite plates are the internal twins. By increasing the vanadium content, the modulated structure with stacking faults and dislocations dominates while the twinned martensite disappears. The stacking fault is determined to be extrinsic due to the substitution of V for Al. It is concluded that the segregation of sulfur on the high-energy state stacking fault area suppresses the intergranular fracture.

The Co and Ni catalysts supported on $Al_2O_3$ for partial oxidation of methane producing hydrogen were synthesized using impregnation to incipient wetness. And the promotion effects of metals such as Mg, Ce, La and Sr in partial oxidation of methane over these $Co/Al_2O_3$ and $Ni/Al_2O_3$ were investigated. Reaction activity of these catalysts for the partial oxidation of methane was investigated in the temperature range of 450~$650^{\circ}C$ at 1 atm and $CH_2/O_2$ = 2.0. The catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD and SEM/EDX. The results indicated that the catalytic performance of these catalysts was improved with the addition of 0.2 wt% metal promoter. The Mg promoted $Co/Al_2O_3$ catalyst showed the highest $CH_4$ conversion and hydrogen selectivity at higher temperature than $500^{\circ}C$. The Ce and Sr promoted Ni catalysts superior to Co-based catalysts in the low temperature range. The addition of metal promoter to $Co/Al_2O_3$ and $Ni/Al_2O_3$ catalysts increased the surface area.

AI, AIN and additives such as Li$_2$CO$_3$, Y$_2$O$_3$ and CaCO$_3$ which promoted nitridation were mixed, formed and heat-treated in nitrogen atmosphere. The effect of solvent, additive and temperature on nitridation of AI-AIN system was studied. When ethanol containing 1 wt% oleic acid was used as a mixing solvent, the formation of oxide was minimized due to surface modification of AI and AIN particles. The addition of Li$_2$CO$_3$ or CaCO$_3$ as an additive extremely diminished the formation of oxide which formed during heat treatment for nitridation compared with the addition of Y$_2$O$_3$.

To improve the ductility of $Al_3Hf$ and $Al_3Ta$ intermetallic compounds, which are the potential temperature structural materials, the mechanical alloying behaviour and the effect of ternary additions on the $Ll_2$ phase formation were investigated. During the mechanical alloying by the SPEX mill, the $Ll_2$ $Al_3Hf$ intermetallic compound was formed after 6 hours of milling in AL-25%Hf system. In AL-25%Ta system, however, only the $D0_{22}$ $Al_3Ta$ intermetallic compound was formed until 30 hours of milling and the $Ll_2$ phase was not observed. In AL-12.5%M-25%Ta(M=Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Ni) systems, the additions of Cu and Zn had no effect on the $D0_{22}$ structure of the binary $Al_3Hf$ and the additions of Mn, Fe and Ni produced the amorphous phase. Therefore it was considered that these ternary additions could not overcome the energy difference between $Ll_2$ and $D0_{22}$ structures in the $Al_3Hf$ intermetallic compound. In AL-12.5%M-25%Hf(M=Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Ni)systems, the additions of Cu and Zn did not affect the $Ll_2$ structure of the binary $Al_3Hf$ but the additions of oMn, Fe and Ni produced the amorphous phase as they did in AL-12.5%M-25%Ta systems. Therefore, it was considered that the Ni, Mn and Fe additions promote the formation of amorphous phase in $Al_3X$ intermetallic compounds.

TFT-LCD 제조공정의 발전에 따라, 박막층(a-Si, SiNx, gate 전극, ITO 등)에 대한 습식공정을 대치하는 건식식각이 선호되고 있다. scan signal의 전파지연시간을 단축시키는 장점을 갖는 Al gate 전극의 건식식각의 경우, 높은 식각속도와 slope angle의 조절, 그리고 식각균일도가 요구된다. 이러한 Al gate 전극물질로는 Al에 Ti이나 Nd와 같은 금속을 첨가하여 post annealing 동안에 발생하는 hillock을 방지하고 더불어 낮은 resistivity(<10$\mu$$\Omega$cm)와 열과 부식에 대한 높은 저항성을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 Al-Nd alloy 박막은 식각속도와 photoresist에 대한 식각선택도가 낮아 문제로 지적되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 고밀도 플라즈마원의 일종인 자화된 고밀도 유도결합형 플라즈마를 이용하여 식각가스 조합, inductive power, bias voltage 그리고 공정압력 등의 다양한 공정변수에 따른 Al-Nd film의 기본적인 식각특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 식각시 chloring gas를 주요 식각가스로 사용하고 BCl, HBr 등을 10mTorr의 일정한 압력을 유지하는 조건하에서 첨가하였으며 inductive power는 5100W~800W, bias voltage는 -50V~-200V까지 변화를 주었다. 식각공정의 전후를 통하여 Al-Nd 박막표면의 조성변화를 관찰하기 위하여 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)를 이용하였으며 공정변수에 따른 식각후 profile 관찰은 scanning electron microscopy(SEM)을 통하여 관찰하였다. Al-Nd 식각속도는 100% Cl2 플라즈마에 비해 BCl3의 양이 증가할수록 증가하였으며 75%의 BCl3 gas를 첨가하였을 때 가장 높은 식각속도를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 SEM을 이용한 표면분석으로 roughness가 감소된 공정조건을 찾을 수 있었다.

For melt-spun Fe-Nd-C alloy variation of phase development and magnetic properties with the variety of small Al addition was investigated. As the amount of Al addition increased the amorphization of Fe$_{14}$/Nd$_{2}$/C or $\alpha$-Fe was retarded and the residual Fe$_{14}$/Nd$_{2}$/C or $\alpha$-Fe did not eliminated after heat treatment resulting in poor coercivities of the ribbons. The grain size of Fe$_{14}$/Nd$_{2}$/C increased with the increase of Al addition and the abnormal grain was often found out in the ribbon heat treated for more then 10 min. The enhancement of coercivity was the highest with the addition of 0.5at%Al. As the amount of Al addition increase the coercivities dropped rapidly. The highest coercivity obtained so far is 13.9kOe which about 16% higher than that(11.2kOe) obtained from the Al-free specimen.
