This study reports a fabrication of $TiO_2$ on the surface of dental implants by pulsed d.c. magnetron sputtering from a Ti target. A systematic investigation on the microstructure and mechanical properties of $TiO_2$ films was carried out with the variation of $O_2$ contents and substrate temperatures. The effects of deposition parameters on the fabricated structures were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). Hydrophilic properties were evaluated by measuring water contact angles on the film surface. With increasing $O_2$ contents up to 40%, surface roughness of $TiO_2$ film increased while relatively smooth surface was obtained with 50% $O_2$ contents. Surface roughness and adhesion strength both increased as substrate temperature increased up to $200^{\circ}C$. From these results, hydrophilic and adhesive properties of the present $TiO_2$ films synthesized with 40% $O_2$ at $200^{\circ}C$ are regarded to be suitable for bio-compatible applications.

$Y_2O_3$ nanomaterials have been widely used in transparent ceramics and luminescent devices. Recently, many studies have focused on controlling the size and morphology of $Y_2O_3$ in order to obtain better material performance. $Y_2O_3$ powders were prepared under a modified solvothermal condition involving precipitation from metal nitrates with aqueous ammonium hydroxide. The powders were obtained at temperatures at $250^{\circ}C$ after a 6h process. The properties of the $Y_2O_3$ powders were studied as a function of the solvent ratio. The synthesis of $Y_2O_3$ crystalline particles is possible under a modified solvothermal condition in a water/ethylene glycol solution. Solvothermal processing condition parameters including the pH, reaction temperature and solvent ratio, have significant effects on the formation, phase component, morphology and particle size of yttria powders. Ethylene glycol is a versatile, widely used, inexpensive, and safe capping organic molecule for uniform nanoparticles besides as a solvent. The characterization of the synthesized Y2O3 powders were studied by XRD, SEM (FE-SEM) and TG/DSC. An X-ray diffraction analysis of the synthesized powders indicated the formation of the $Y_2O_3$ cubic structure upon calcination. The average crystalline sizes and distribution of the synthesized $Y_2O_3$ powders was less than 2 um and broad, respectively. The synthesized particles were spherical and hexagonal in shape. The morphology of the synthesized powders changed with the water and ethylene glycol ratio. The average size and shape of the synthesized particles could be controlled by adjusting the solvent ratio.

전자 부품의 일종인 LSI 패키지의 제조 과정에서 절연 방진 방습 등을 목적으로 수지 몰딩이 널리 사용되고 있는데, 냉각과정에서 금속과 수지의 계면에 접합 잔류열응력이 발생하여 파괴의 원인이 되고 있다. 접합 잔류열응력의 측정에는 X선 회절법등이 사용되지만 측정상의 어려움과 계면단 응력특이성에 대한 해석의 곤란함 때문에 적절한 모델링에 따른 수치해석적 연구가 새로이 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Al/Epoxy를 몰딩 접합한 세가지의 대표적인 계면 형상을 선정하여 계면에서의 잔류열응력을 경계요소 수치해석 및 스트레인 게이지를 이용한 실험을 통하여 각각 해석하였다. 수치해석과 실험결과는 정성적으로 잘 일치하였으며, 서브 요소를 사용하므로써 계면단 응력 특이성의 해석 정밀도를 향상시킬 수 있었다. 또한 접합 잔류열응력의 해석결과로부터 수직응력에 의한 계면 박리가 예상되고, 피착체의 두께가 증가할수록 응력 특이성이 강하게 나타남을 확인하였다.

In this study, the effect of a long post-deposition thermal annealing(600 and 1000 $^{\circ}C$) on the surface acoustic wave (SAW) properties of polycrystalline (poly) aluminum-nitride (AlN) thin films grown on a 3C-SiC buffer layer was investigates. The poly-AlN thin films with a (0002) preferred orientation were deposited on the substrates by using a pulsed reactive magnetron sputtering system. Experimental results show that the texture degree of AlN thin film was reduced along the increase in annealing temperature, which caused the decrease in the electromechanical coupling coefficient ($k^2$). The SAW velocity also was decreased slightly by the increase in root mean square (RMS) roughness over annealing temperature. However, the residual stress in films almost was not affect by thermal annealing process due to small lattice mismatch different and similar coefficient temperature expansion (CTE) between AlN and 3C-SiC. After the AlN film annealed at 1000 $^{\circ}C$, the insertion loss of an $IDT/AlN/3C-SiC/SiO_2/Si$ structure (-16.44 dB) was reduced by 8.79 dB in comparison with that of the as-deposited film (-25.23 dB). The improvement in the insertion loss of the film was fined according to the decrease in the grain size. The characteristics of AlN thin films were also evaluated using Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra and X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images.

A series of catalysts, NiO/$CeO_2-ZrO_2/WO_3$, for ethylene dimerization was prepared by the precipitation and impregnation methods. For NiO/$CeO_2-ZrO_2/WO_3$ sample, no diffraction line of nickel oxide was observed up to 40 wt%, indicating good dispersion of nickel oxide on the surface of catalyst. The hexagonal and monoclinic phases of $WO_3$ up to the calcination temperature of 500 ${^{\circ}C}$ were observed, whereas the hexagonal phase of WO3 completely was transformed into monoclinic phase of $WO_3$ at 600 ${^{\circ}C}$ and above. The role of $CeO_2$ in the catalysts was to form a thermally stable solid solution with zirconia and consequently to give high surface area and acidity. The catalytic activities for ethylene dimerization were correlated with the acidity of catalysts measured by the ammonia chemisorption method. 25-NiO/5-$CeO_2-ZrO_2/15-WO_3$ containing 25 wt% NiO, 15 wt% $WO_3$ and 5 mol% $CeO_2$, and calcined at 400 ${^{\circ}C}$ exhibited a maximum catalytic activity due to the effects of $WO_3$ modifying and $CeO_2$ doping.

In this study, we have prepared pitch binded AC (activated carbon)/$AC/TiO_2$ composites photocatalysts through carbon tetrachloride solvent method. The developed samples were characterized with surface properties, structural crystallinity between AC and $AC/TiO_2$, elemental identification and photocatalytic activity. The results of the textural surface properties demonstrate that there are slight increases in the BET surface area and adsorbed volume from adsorption isotherm of composite samples with increasing of the amount of AC. The SEM results present to the characterization of porous texture on the pitch/AC/$AC/TiO_2$ composites and homogenous compositions in the particle for all the materials used. From XRD data, a weak and broad carbon peak of graphene remained rutile peaks kept with anatase structure were observed in the X-ray diffraction patterns for the pitch/AC/$AC/TiO_2$ composites. The EDX spectra show the presence of C, O and S with strong Ti peaks. Most of these samples are richer in carbon and major Ti metal than any other elements. Finally, the excellent photocatalytic activity of the pitch/AC/$AC/TiO_2$ composites between relative concentration ($c/c_o$) of MB and UV irradiation time could be attributed to the both effects between photocatalysis of the supported $AC/TiO_2$ and adsorptivity of the two kinds of carbons.

We have investigated the gate insulator effects on the electrical performance of p-type tin monoxide (SnO) thin-film transistors (TFTs). Various SnO TFTs are fabricated with different gate insulators of a thermal $SiO_2$, a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) $SiO_x$, a $150^{\circ}C$-deposited PEVCD $SiO_x$, and a $300^{\circ}C$-deposited PECVD $SiO_x$. Among the devices, the one with the $150^{\circ}C$-deposited PEVCD $SiO_x$ exhibits the best electrical performance including a high field-effect mobility ($=4.86cm^2/Vs$), a small subthreshold swing (=0.7 V/decade), and a turn-on voltage around 0 (V). Based on the X-ray diffraction data and the localized-trap-states model, the reduced carrier concentration and the increased carrier mobility due to the small grain size of the SnO thin-film are considered as possible mechanisms, resulting in its high electrical performance.

플라스틱 포장 폐기물로 인한 환경오염을 해결하기 위한 대안으로 생분해성 필름이 많이 연구되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 우럭 껍질 젤라틴(RFG)과 nano-clay(Cloisite $Na^+$, 10A)의 복합필름의 특성에 관하여 연구하였다. 우럭 껍질로부터 젤라틴을 추출하여 sorbitol을 가소제로서 첨가한 단백질 필름을 제조하였고, 제조된 RFG 필름의 tensile strength(TS), water vapor permeability(WVP), water solubility(WS)는 각각 15.0 MPa, $2.70{\times}10^{-9}g\;m/m^2\;s\;Pa$, 53.8%였다. RFG에 nano-clay를 첨가한 복합필름은 TS가 증가하고 WVP와 WS는 감소하였다. XRD 분석과 SEM 측정 결과를 통하여 RFG/nano-clay 복합필름 내부에 박리형 구조를 형성함을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 본 연구 결과 RFG/nano-clay 복합필름은 생분해성 포장재로 적용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

F-containing $TiO_2$ nanopowders are synthesized using simple wet processes (precipitation-based and hydrothermal) from ammonium hexafluorotitanate (AHFT, $(NH_4)_2TiF_6$) as a precursor to apply as a photocatalyst for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB). The surface properties of the prepared samples are evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results confirm that the synthesized anatase $TiO_2$ has sphere-like shapes, with numerous small nanoparticles containing fluorine on the surface. The photocatalytic activity of F-containing $TiO_2$ compared with F-free $TiO_2$ is characterized by measuring the degradation of RhB using a xenon lamp. The photocatalytic degradation of F-containing $TiO_2$ exhibits improved photocatalytic activity, based on the positive effects of adsorbed F ions on the surface.

Carbon is proven to be very effective in pinning the magnetic vortices and improving the superconducting performance of $MgB_2$ at high fields. In this work, we have used polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) polymer as a safe and cost effective carbon source. The effects of molecular weight of PMMA on crystal structure, microstructure as well as on superconducting properties of $MgB_2$ were studied. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that there is a noticeable shift in (100) and (110) Bragg reflections towards higher angles, while no shift was observed in (002) reflections for $MgB_2$ doped with different molecular weights of PMMA. This indicates that carbon could be substituted in the boron honeycomb layers without affecting the interlayer interactions. As compared to undoped $MgB_2$, substantial enhancement in $J_c(H)$ properties was obtained for PMMA-doped $MgB_2$ samples both at 5 K and 20 K. The enhancement could be attributed to the effective carbon substitution for boron and the refinement of crystallite size by PMMA doping.
