NiFe($60\;{\AA}$)/Cu($60\;{\AA}$)/Co($30\;{\AA}$) trilayers were formed on the $4^{\circ}$ tilt-cut Si(111) substrate by rf magnetron sputtering method. With a Cu($50\;{\AA}$) underlayer, NiFe($60\;{\AA}$)/Cu($60\;{\AA}$)/Co($30\;{\AA}$) trilayers developed in-plane magnebc anisotropy and in-plane perpendicular alignment of easy axes in two magnetic components of NiFe($60\;{\AA}$)/Cu($60\;{\AA}$)/Co($30\;{\AA}$) trilayers has been found. The easy axis of Co layer consisbng of NiFe($60\;{\AA}$)/Cu($60\;{\AA}$)/Co($30\;{\AA}$) trilayers turned out to be along $4^{\circ}$ tilt Si <112> direcbon and that of NiFe layer along Si <110> direction. [NiFe($60\;{\AA}$)/Cu($60\;{\AA}$)/Co($30\;{\AA}$)]/Cu($50\;{\AA}$)/Si(111, $4^{\circ}$ tiIt-cut) trilayers showed about 2.2 % MR ratio at room temperature and large plateau in MR curves, which are more improved MR characteristics than those in [NiFe($60\;{\AA}$)/Cu($60\;{\AA}$)/Co($30\;{\AA}$)]/Cu($50\;{\AA}$)/glass trilayers with no appreciable magnetic anisotropy.

In Korea, mackerel is the most preferred red fish commodity and has been increasingly consumed in chillstored fresh state rather than in frozen or salted fish. Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) technology as a replacement of air with low O₂ and high CO₂ concentration gas was applied in this study to preserve its freshness. Four MAP conditions of CO₂(60):O₂(30):N₂(10), CO₂(60):O₂(5):N₂(35), CO₂(60):O₂(0):N₂(40), and CO₂(30):O₂(0):N₂(70) were compared in quality preservation effect with air package used as Control. Three hundred grams mackerel fillets packaged in gas barrier tray were stored for duration of 10 days at 5℃. Quality was assessed in total aerobic bacterial count, pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), peroxide value (POV), texture, and surface color. High CO₂ concentration MAPs (CO₂(60):O₂(30):N₂(10), CO₂(60):O₂(5):N₂(35), and CO₂(60):O₂(0): N₂(40)) inhibited total aerobic bacteria growth in the fish fillets. MAPs of high CO₂ concentration with O₂ containment (CO₂(60):O₂(30):N₂(10) and CO₂(60):O₂(5):N₂(35)) showed a low TVB-N content through the storage. The treatments containing O₂ above 20% (Control and CO₂(60):O₂(30):N₂(10)) showed more accelerated increases in TBARS and POV than other treatments. The visual appearance was better for fillets in the packages of CO₂(60):O₂(5):N₂(35), CO₂(60):O₂(0):N₂(40), and CO₂(30):O₂(0):N₂(70) than for those of other treatments. The MAPs of CO₂(60):O₂(5):N₂(35) and CO₂(60):O₂(0):N₂(40) are expected to be effective in keeping the freshness of mackerel fillets.

Due to the Co-60 source size, the penumbra in Co-60 teletheraphy poses a serious problem, even if the extended collimators are used, Here an empirical formula for the calculation of integral absorbed dose in the penumbra region was derived. Through a numerical calculation, the penumbra effect on integral absorbed dose was investigated. The longer the source-to-skin distance, the larger the integral absorbed dose of penumbra region, and the larger the source diameter, the larger the integral absorbed dose of penumbra region. It was also found that in some case the integral absorbed dose in penumbra region becomes several times larger than the integral absorbed dose of treatment region itself if the source-to-skin distance becomes greater. Therefore, one must consider the penumbra effect in Co-60 teletherapy.

Nanosized cobalt disulfide ($CoS_2$) particles were synthesized with 0.08 M cobalt chloride hexahydrate ($CoCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$) and 0.2 M sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate ($Na_2S_2O_3{\cdot}5H_2O$) dissolved in distilled water under microwave irradiation. $[C_{60}]Fullerene-CoS_2$ nanocomposites were prepared with nanosized $CoS_2$ particles and [$C_{60}$]fullerene as heated by $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in an electric furnace. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) identified the heated $[C_{60}]fullerene-CoS_2$ nanocomposites. Heated $[C_{60}]fullerene-CoS_2$ nanocomposites were investigated the activity of photocatalytic degradation as a catalyst in various organic dyes like acid yellow 23, methylene blue, methyl orange, and rhodamine B with ultraviolet light at 254 nm by UV-vis spectrophotometer.

Diffusivity of ions of radioactive species is an important factor for designing radwaste repositories. Clay minerals are used as a backfill material. In this study, diffusion of Co-60 ions through the bentonite having various densities has been studied, using a diffusion cell. The measured diffusivities of Co-60 ions decreased as the density of bentonite increased. The diffusivity of Co-60 ion decreased from $8.79{\times}10^{11}m^2/s$ to $6.82{\times}10-13m^2/s$ as the clay dry bulk density increased from 0.41 to 2.03g/cm3. The diffusivity of Co ion was larger than that of Sr ion at low density, but the diffusivity of Co ion decreased rapidly as the density of clay increased and became smaller than that of Cs ion at high density. This phenomenon is thought to be caused by the rapid decrease of the fraction of mobile cation since the chemical combination of Co ions with oxygen or oxide on clay surface and the entrance of Co ions into the crystal structure of clay increase as the clay density increases. This change should be considered especially in designing the clay back fill for low and intermediate radwaste disposal facilities.

In this study, as one of the carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) adsorbents the aqueous potassium carbonate ($K_2CO_3$)/promoter mixtures were investigated. Equilibrium partial pressure ($P_{CO_2}^*$) and pressure change were measured by using VLE (Vapor-liquid equilibrium) equipment in the mixture solution at 60 and $80^{\circ}C$, respectively. Absorption capacity was estimated in the semi-batch absorption apparatus at 40, 60 and $80^{\circ}C$. We proposed to use homopiperazine (homoPZ), cyclic diamine compound as a promoter of $K_2CO_3$ solution, to prevent crystalline formation and increase absorption capacity of aqueous $K_2CO_3$ solution. The absorption capacity of $K_2CO_3$/homoPZ was compared with MEA, $K_2CO_3$ and $K_2CO_3$/piperazine (PZ). Based on the results, we found that the mixture solution containing homoPZ had lower equilibrium partial pressure than that of $K_2CO_3$ solution and the absorption rate was approximately 0.375-times faster at $60^{\circ}C$, 0.343-times faster at $80^{\circ}C$ than that of aqueous $K_2CO_3$ solution without homoPZ. $K_2CO_3$/homoPZ solution showed excellent CO2 loading capacity compared with MEA solution at $60^{\circ}C$.

The effect of ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation on the color of nucleus and cultured pearls was investigated. After ($^{60}Co$) ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation on the pearl nucleus, its color was altered from brownish to blackish brown or gray depending on irradiation dose. It was clearly found that the all samples are composed of aragonite. ESR spectra were based on the measurement of the paramagnetic species $CO_2$-radicals by the interaction with the ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation in $Mn^{2+}$ containing $CaCO_3$. In this study, we investigated optimal detection method of ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation to establish destructive or non-destructive test for pearl nucleus.

IAEA, FT-04-020, and ANS 16.1, standard leaching test methods, were evaluated comparatively with their test results. Leaching index of $^{60}$ Co and $^{137}$ Cs by ANS 16.1 method for waste forms of paraffin and cement were above 6.0. Their leaching behavior were depending on the type of matrix and leachant. Leachability of $^{60}$ Co for cement waste form was higher in simulated seawater than do-mineralized water, and was higher in de-mineralized water for paraffin waste form. leachability of $^{60}$ Co was contrary to $^{137}$ Cs. Cumulative fraction leached of $^{60}$ Co was higher in order or IAEA ＞ ANS ＞ FT in a cement waste form.

NiFe(60$\AA$)/Co(5$\AA$)/Cu(60$\AA$)/Co(30$\AA$) spin valve thin films were patterned into magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) cells by a conventional optical lithography process and their output and switching properties were characterized with respect to the cell size and geometry. When 1 mA of constant sense current was applied to the cells, a few or a few tens of mV of output voltage was measured within about 30 Oe of external magnetic field, which is an adequate output property for the commercializing of competitive MRAM devices. In order to resolve the problem of increase in the switching thresholds of magnetic layers with the downsizing of MRAM cells, a new approach using the controlled shape anisotropy was suggested and interpreted by a simple calculation of anisotropy energies of magnetic layers consisting of the cells. This concept gave a reduced switching threshold in NiFe(60$\AA$)/Co(5$\AA$) layer consisting of the patterned cells from about 15 Oe to 5 Oe and it was thought that this concept would be much helpful for the realization of competitive MRAM devices.
