Al1050 and Al7075 alloy specimens were exposed to atmospheric conditions for 24 months and analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy to characterize their corrosion behavior and oxide film characteristics, especially focusing on intergranular corrosion or oxidation. In general, the intergranular oxygen penetration depth of Al1050 was deeper than Al7075. Since O and Si signals were overlapped at the oxidized grain boundaries of Al1050 and Mg is not included in Al1050, it is concluded that Si segregated along the grain boundaries directly impacts on the intergranular corrosion of Al1050. Cr-Si or Mg-Si intermetallic particles were not observed along the grain boundaries of Al7050, but Mg-Si particle was barely observed in the matrix. 10-nm size Mg-Zn particles were also found all over the matrix. Mg was mainly observed along the oxidized grain boundary of Al7075, but Si was not detected due to the Mg-Si particle formation in the matrix and relatively low concentration of Si in Al7075. Therefore, it is thought that Mg plays an important role in the intergranular corrosion of Al7075 under atmospheric corrosion conditions.

The sustained release dosage form which delivers melatonin (MT) in a circadian fashion over 8 h is of clinical value for those who have disordered circadian rhythms because of its short halflife. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the gelling properties and release characteristics of alginate beads varying multivalent cationic species $(Al^{+++}, \; Ba^{++}, \; Ca^{++}, \; Mg^{++}, \; Fe^{+++}, \; Zn^{++})$. The surface morphologies of Ca- and Ba-alginate beads were also studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM). MT, an indole amide pineal hormone was used as a model drug. The $Ca^{++}, \; Ba^{++}, \; Zn^{++}, \; Al^{++}\; and\; Fe^{+++}\; ions\; except\; Mg^{++}$ induced gelling of sodium alginate. The strength of multivalent cationic alginate beads was as follows: $Al^{+++}\llFe^{+++} the induced hydrogel beads were very fragile and less spherical. Fe-alginate beads were also fragile but stronger compared to Al-alginate beads. Ba-alginate beads had a similar gelling strength but was less spherical when compared to Ca-alginate beads. Zn-alginate beads were weaker than Ca- and Ba-alginate beads. Very crude and rough crystals of Ba- and Ca-alginate beads at higher magnifications were observed. However, the type and shape of rough crystals of Ba- and Ca-alginate beads were quite different. No significant differences in release profiles from MT-loaded multivalent cationic alginate beads were observed in the gastric fluid. Most drugs were continuously released upto 80% for 5 h, mainly governed by the passive diffusion without swelling and disintegrating the alginate beads. In the intestinal fluid, there was a significant difference iq the release profiles of MT-loaded multivalent cationic alginate beads. The release rate of Ca-alginate beads was faster when compared to other multivalent cationic alginate beads and was completed for 3 h. Ba-alginate beads had a very long lag time (7 h) and then rapidly released thereafter. MT was continuously released from Feand Zn-alginate beads with initial burstout release. It is assumed that the different release rofiles of multivalent cationic alginate beads resulted from forces of swelling and disintegration of alginate beads in addition to passive diffusion, depending on types of multivalent ions, gelling strength and drug solubility. It was estimated that 0.2M $CaCl_2$ concentration was optimal in terms of trapping efficiency of MT and gelling strength of Ca-alginate beads. In the gastric fluid, Ca-alginate beads gelled at 0.2 M $CaCl_2$ concentration had higher bead strength, resulting in the most retarded release when compared to other concentrations. In the intestinal fluid, the decreased release of Ca-alginate beads prepared at 0.2 M $CaCl_2$ concentration was also observed. However, release profiles of Ca-alginate beads were quite similar regardless of $CaCl_2$ concentration. Either too low or high $CaCl_2$ concentrations may not be useful for gelling and curing of alginate beads. Optimal $CaCl_2$ concentrations must be decided in terms of trapping efficiency and release and profiles of drug followed by curing time and gelling strength of alginate beads.

본 연구는 백화현상이 극명하게 발생한 미인폭포 내 백색침전물을 대상으로 X선형광분석법, X선회절분석법 및 휴대용 분광계를 이용하여 광물조성을 확인하고, 분광특성을 고찰하였다. 그 결과 모든 시료에서 알루미늄이 평균농도보다 높게 검출되었고, 대부분의 시료에서 카드뮴과 니켈의 오염도가 높았다. X선회절분석 결과 모든 시료에서 석영, 고령토, 롬보클레이스, 알루미노코큠바이트, 깁사이트의 광물이 검출되었고 중금속은 점토광물에 흡착하여 존재한다고 판단된다. 백색침전물의 분광학적 특성은 가시광선 대역에서 반사도가 증가하는 추세를 보이나, 근적외선, 단파적외선으로 파장이 길어짐에 따라 반사도가 서서히 감소한다. 백색침전물의 흡광특성을 바탕으로 볼 때 분광학적 특성은 고령토, 롬보클레이스, 알루미노코큠바이트, 깁사이트에 의해 발생하는 것으로 판단된다. 퇴적물 내 중금속 종류 및 함량에 따른 영역별 흡광깊이 변이양상을 분석한 결과, Al-OH의 흡광특성인 2202 nm에서 알루미늄함량과 흡광깊이 사이에 높은 양의 상관관계가 성립하는 것이 확인되었다. 이는 분광학적 특성 중 흡광깊이가 중금속 함량의 유추에 유용할 수 있음을 지시한다.

This experimental focus to characterize luminescence properties related to CNT (Carbon Nano Tube) element dispersedly implanted in ZnS-based phosphor thin film panel fabricated by a screen printing method. More specifically FE-SEM measurements, L-V(Luminescence vs. Voltage) and photo luminescence were carried out to determine an optimum value of CNT concentration and film thickness for the thin film structure of CNT-ZnS:(Cu, Al) by the screen printing method. We confirmed that an optimum value of CNT concentration in the ZnS:(Cu, Al) film panel is about 0.75 wt% resulting that the electric conductivity is 1.6 times higher than that of pure CNT sample and showing that the luminescence intensity is increasing until the optimum concentration. Clearly, CNT is presenting in the luminescence process providing a pathway for the creation of hot electron and a channel for the electron-hole recombination but overly inserted CNT may hinder to produce the hot electron for making an avalanching process. In case of the overly doped CNT 1.0 wt% in the ZnS-based phosphor, the luminescence intensity is decreasing although the electric conductivity is exponentially increasing. Based on these results, we realized that hot electron occurred by the external electric field or exciton arose by the external photon source are reduced dramatically over the critical value of CNT concentration because CNT element provide various isolated residues in the composites of ZnS based phosphor rather than pathway or channel for the D-A(Donnor to Acceptor) pair transition or the radiative recombination of electron-hole.

본 연구에서는 폴리술폰(polysulfone, PSf)으로 알루미늄 수산화물(aluminum hydroxide, $Al(OH)_3$)을 고정화한 PSf-$Al(OH)_3$ 비드를 제조하였다. 제조한 PSf-$Al(OH)_3$ 비드에 의한 불소 이온 제거실험은 회분식으로 수행하였으며, pH, 초기농도, 공존이온과 같은 변수들의 영향을 살펴보았다. Langmuir 등온식으로 구한 불소 이온의 최대 제거량은 52.4 mg/g이었으며, 최적 pH 범위는 4~10이었다. PSf-$Al(OH)_3$ 비드에 의한 불소 이온의 제거과정은 전 단계에서 외부물질전달이 나중 단계에서 내부확산이 지배인 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 PSf-$Al(OH)_3$에 의한 불소 이온의 제거에서 $HCO_3{^-}$, $SO{_4}^{2-}$, $NO_3{^-}$, $Cl^-$와 같은 공존 음이온들은 불소 이온의 제거에 방해를 하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 Al-Oxide(AIOx) 에 Ti를 첨가하여. Ti 함량에 따라 자기터널접합의 자기터널링 현상 변화 및 TiA l합금박막의 미세구조, 표면거칠기 변화를 관찰하였다. Ti를 첨가한 TiAlOx 절연층을 사용하여 기존 AlOx를 사용한 경우 보다 높은 터널링 자기저항(Tunneling Magnetoresistance, TMR) 비를 가지는 자기터널접합을 제작하였다. TMR 비의 증가 요인은 Ti를 첨가함에 따라, TiAl 합금박막의 입계가 작아지고, 치밀한 구조를 가져, 우수한 계면평활도를 가지는 균일한 TiAlOx 절연층이 형성되어, 소자의 구조적 안정성이 향상되었기 때문으로 분석하였다. 또한 향상된 구조적 안정성으로 인해 소자의 열적, 전기적 안정성도 크게 증가하였다.

Ni/Ti/Al multilayer system ('/'denotes the deposition sequence) was tested for low-resistance ohmic contact formation to Al-implanted p-type 4H-SiC. Ni 30 nm / Ti 50 nm / Al 300 nm layers were sequentially deposited by e-beam evaporation on the 4H-SiC samples which were implanted with Al (norminal doping concentration = $4\times10^{19}cm^{-3}$) and then annealed at $1700^{\circ}C$ for dopant activation. Rapid thermal anneal (RTA) temperature for ohmic contact formation was varied in the range of $840\sim930^{\circ}C$. Specific contact resistances were extracted from the measured current vs. voltage (I-V) data of linear- and circular transfer length method (TLM) patterns. In constrast to Ni contact, Ni/Ti/Al contact shows perfectly linear I-V characteristics, and possesses much lower contact resistance of about $2\sim3\times10^{-4}\Omega{\cdot}cm^2$ even after low-temperature RTA at $840^{\circ}C$, which is about 2 orders of magnitude smaller than that of Ni contact. Therefore, it was shown that RTA temperature for ohmic contact formation can be lowered to at least $840^{\circ}C$ without significant compromise of contact resistance. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated the existence of intermetallic compounds of Ni and Al as well as $NiSi_{1-x}$, but characteristic peaks of $Ti_{3}SiC_2$, a probable narrow-gap interfacial alloy responsible for low-resistance Ti/Al ohmic contact formation, were not detected. Therefore, Al in-diffusion into SiC surface region is considered to be the dominant mechanism of improvement in conduction behavior of Ni/Ti/Al contact.

Ionic conduction mechanism of Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) intercalated with CO₃^2- (Mg-Al CO₃^2- LDH) was studied. The electromotive force for the water vapor concentration cell using Mg-Al CO₃^2- LDH as electrolyte showed water vapor partial pressure dependence and obeyed the Nernst equation, indicating that the hydroxide ion transport number of Mg-Al CO₃^2- LDH is almost unity. The ionic conductivity of Mg(OH)₂, MgCO₃ and Al₂(CO₃)₃ was also examined. Only Al₂(CO₃)₃ showed high hydroxide ion conductivity of the order of 10^-4 S cm^-1 under 80% relative humidity, suggesting that Al₂(CO₃)₃ is an ion conducting material and related to the generation of carrier by interaction with water. To discuss the ionic conduction mechanism, Mg-Al CO₃^2- LDH having deuterium water as interlayer water (Mg-Al CO₃^2- LDH(D₂O)) was prepared. After the adsorbed water molecules on the surface of Mg-Al CO₃^2- LDH(D₂O) were removed by drying, DC polarization test for dried Mg-Al CO₃^2- LDH(D₂O) was examined. The absorbance attributed to O-D-stretching band for Mg-Al CO₃^2- LDH(D₂O) powder at around the positively charged electrode is larger than that before polarization, indicating that the interlayer in Mg-Al CO₃^2- LDH is a hydroxide ion conduction channel.

$Ho^{3+}$가 도핑된 $SrAl_2O_4$ 상향전환 형광체 분말을 분무열분해법으로 제조하고 활성제의 농도, 후 열처리 온도 변화에 따른 결정학적 구조와 발광 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 유기 첨가제 사용에 따른 형광체의 결정구조, 표면적 및 휘도 변화를 조사하였다. $SrAl_2O_4:Ho^{3+}$는 $Ho^{3+}$의 $^5F_4/^5S_2{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ 전이에 기인한 강한 녹색 발광을 보였다. 가장 높은 발광 강도를 보이는 $Ho^{3+}$ 농도는 0.1%였고, 그 이상의 농도에서는 활성 이온간 쌍극자-쌍극자 상호 작용에 의에 농도소강이 일어나 발광 휘도는 급격히 감소하였다. 여기 광원의 전력 세기에 따른 발광 휘도 변화 관찰로부터 $SrAl_2O_4:Ho^{3+}$의 녹색 발광은 2광자가 관여된 바닥상태흡수-여기상태흡수 과정을 통해 효율적으로 일어남이 확인되었다. 합성된 분말의 주상은 단사정계이고 일부 육방정계 상이 존재하였다. 후 열처리 온도를 $1000^{\circ}C$에서 $1350^{\circ}C$로 증가시킴에 따라 $SrAl_2O_4:Ho^{3+}$는 육방정계 상이 줄어 들면서 단상정계의 결정성이 향상되었다. 그러나 $1350^{\circ}C$에서도 일부 육방정계 상은 존재하였다. 구연산(CA)과 에틸렌 글리콜(EG)을 첨가해준 분무 용액으로부터 제조한 경우, 육방정계 상이 없는 순수한 단사정계 상으로 향상된 결정성을 가지는 $SrAl_2O_4:Ho^{3+}$가 제조되었다. 또한 유기 첨가제와 함께 N,N-Dimethylformamide(DMF)를 분무용액에 넣어 줌으로써 형광체의 표면적을 크게 감소시킬 수 있었다. 그 결과 CA/EG/DMF를 넣고 제조한 $SrAl_2O_4:Ho^{3+}$ 형광체는 유기 첨가물 없이 제조한 형광체에 비해 발광 휘도가 약 168% 향상되었다. 이러한 휘도 증대는 $SrAl_2O_4:Ho^{3+}$ 형광체의 결정상이 순수해졌고, 결정성 증대와 표면 결함을 최소화시킨 결과라고 결론지었다.
