The deep level electron traps in AP-MOCVD GaAs/undoped Al\ulcornerGa\ulcornerAs/n-type GaAs heterostructures have been investigated by means of Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy DLTS). In terms of the experimental procedure, GaAs/undoped Al\ulcornerGa\ulcornerAs/n-type GaAs heterostructures were deposited on 2" undoped semi-insulating GaAs wafers by the AP-MOCVD method at $650^{\circ}C$ with TMGa, AsH3, TMAl, and SiH4 gases. The n-type GaAs conduction layers were doped with Si to the target concentration of about 2$\times$10\ulcornercm\ulcorner. The Al content was targeted to x=0.5 and the thicknesses of Al\ulcornerGa\ulcornerAs layers were targeted from 0 to 40 nm. In order to investigate the electrical characteristics, an array of Schottky diodes was built on the heterostructures by the lift-off process and Al thermal evaporation. Among the key results of this experiment, the deep level electron traps at 0.742~0.777 eV and 0.359~0.680 eV were observed in the heterostructures; however, only a 0.787 eV level was detected in n-type GaAs samples without the Al\ulcornerGa\ulcornerAs overlayer. It may be concluded that the 0.787 eV level is an EL2 level and that the 0.742~0.777 eV levels are related to EL2 and residual oxygen impurities which are usually found in MOCVD GaAs and Al\ulcornerGa\ulcornerAs materials grown at $630~660^{\circ}C$. The 0.359~0.680 eV levels may be due to the defects related with the al-O complex and residual Si impurities which are also usually known to exist in the MOCVD materials. Particularly, as the Si doping concentration in the n-type GaAs layer increased, the electron trap concentrations in the heterostructure materials and the magnitude of the C-V hysteresis in the Schottky diodes also increased, indicating that all are intimately related.ated.

Since 1960, Korea the town center was developed intensively due to rapid industrial development. As a result of the development, the population was concentrated in urban areas and the green area was decreased. Due to the decrease of the green area, the circulation system of the rainwater was changed, hence the rainwater was not introduced into the groundwater., On the other hand, the water on the surface of the road was changed into the water for flowing to the river and evaporation. The changes in the water flow cause many problems, and the depletion of the groundwater does not create an environment in which microorganisms and plants can live. in Korea, permeable pavement construction is increased to solve these problems, but existing pavement blocks have many problems. The pores of the permeable block are clogged due to the accumulation of dust or whitening phenomenon, and the permeability is lost. In this study, the solution of the problems of existing permeable block were suggested by using polymer and artificial permeable pipe, and strength, permeability and service life are increased, The relationship between the substitution rate of the polymer and the mixing ratio of the artificial permeable pipe was analyzed.

The waste solution discharged from the LCD manufacturing process contains acids like nitric, acetic and phosphoric acid and metal ions such as Al, Mo and other impurities. It is important to remove impurities less than 1 ppm in phosphoric acid to reuse as an etchant because the residual impurities even in sub-ppm concentration in semiconductor materials play a major role on the electronic properties. In this study, a mixed system of solvent extraction, diffusion dialysis and ion-exchange was developed to commercialize in an efficient system fur recovering the high-purity phosphoric acid. By vacuum evaporation, almost 99% of nitric and acetic acid was removed. And by solvent extraction method with tri-octyl phosphate (TOP) as an extractant, the removal of acetic and nitric acid from the acid mixture was achieved effectively at the ratio A/O=1/3 with 4th stage of extraction stage. About 97.5% of Al and 36.7% of Mo were removed by diffusion dialysis. Essentially almost complete removal of metal ions and purification of high-purity phosphoric acid could be obtained by using ion exchange.

We researched separation of mixed waste acids with HF, $CH_3COOH$, $HNO_3$ that were produced during a semiconductor wafer process to recycle these acids. At first, we manufactured the fluoride compound in form of $Na_2SiF_6$ by precipitating HF using $NaNO_3$ and Si powder. The concentration of HF was reduced from the initial concentration of 127 g/L to 0.5 g/L with an HF recovery ratio of 99.5%. After the manufacture of $Na_2SiF_6$, the concentration of $HNO_3$ and $CH_3COOH$ demonstrated 502 g/L and 117 g/L respectively. Following these findings we added NaOH in this $CH_3COOH/HNO_3$ mixed acid in order to obtain pH=4. Next we separated the $CH_3COOH$ and recoverd it through the use of vaccum evaporation at -440 mmHg, $95^{\circ}C$. The concentration of the recovered $CH_3COOH$ was approximately 15% and the recovery ratio of $CH_3COOH$ was over 85%. We precipitated the $NaNO_3$ by cooling the concentrated solution to $20^{\circ}C$ with a $HNO_3$ recovery ratio of over 93%. We confirmed that only $Na_2SiF_6$ and $NaNO_3$ were manufactured by XRD analysis after drying these precipitants at $90^{\circ}C$. The precipitants demonstrated a purity of approximately 97% and 98% respectively. Therefore, the purity of the precipitants proved to be similar to that of commercial products.

A TCO-less palladium (Pd) catalytic layer on the glass substrate was assessed as the counter electrode (CE) in a dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) to confirm the stability of Pd with the $I^-/I_3{^-}$electrolyte on the DSSC performance. A 90nm-thick Pd film was deposited by a thermal evaporator. Finally, DSSC devices of $0.45cm^2$ with glass/FTO/blocking layer/$TiO_2$/dye/electrolyte(10 mM LiI + 1 mM $I_2$ + 0.1 M $LiClO_4$ in acetonitrile solution)/Pd/glass structure was prepared. We investigated the microstructure and photovoltaic property at 1 and 12 hours after the sample preparation. The optical microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), cyclic voltammetry measurement (C-V), and current voltage (I-V) were employed to measure the microstructure and photovoltaic property evolution. Microstructure analysis showed that the corrosion by reaction between the Pd layer and the electrolyte occurred as time went by, which led the decrease of the catalytic activity and the efficiency. I-V result revealed that the energy conversion efficiency after 1 and 12 hours was 0.34% and 0.15%, respectively. Our results implied that we might employ the other non-$I^-/I_3{^-}$electrolyte or the other catalytic metal layers to guarantee the long term stability of the DSSC devices.

금속 재료 중 철강은 기계적 특성이 우수하고 대량생산이 가능하여 선박, 건축, 자동차 등 다양한 분야에 기초재료로써 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 스테인리스강 등과 같은 일부 특수한 용도의 강을 제외하고는 부식환경에 취약한 특성을 가지기 때문에 내식성을 향상을 위한 표면처리에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 가장 일반적으로 습식법(wet process)을 통해 표면상에 아연(Zn)을 도금해 사용하며, 아연이 자체적으로 포함한 희생양극(sacrificial anode) 및 차폐(barrier) 효과가 철강의 부식을 방지하게 된다. 하지만 산업의 고도화에 따라 더욱 가혹해진 노출환경으로 인해 고내식 강재에 대한 수요가 점차 증가하고 있으며, 아연코팅 층의 두께를 증가하여 내식성을 확보하는 방안은 미래 환경 및 자원적인 측면에서 근본적인 해결책으로 제시하기 어려움이 있다. 한편, 건식 프로세스(wet process)로 대별되는 PVD(physical vacuum deposition)에 의해 내식성을 향상시키고자 하는 연구들이 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 이것은 표면에 고순도 양질의 금속 막을 형성시킴으로써 외부환경과의 반응을 효과적으로 제어가 가능하며, 형성된 막은 그 물질의 고유 특성뿐만 아니라 제작 조건에 따른 표면의 기하학적 혹은 결정학적 구조에 의해 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 실용금속 중 이온화 경향이 가장 크고 산소와 반응하여 투과성이 작은 산화 피막 형성이 유리한 마그네슘(Mg)을 활용해 표면의 전기화학적 특성을 향상시켰다. 또한 금속 증착 중 진공도조절을 위해 도입되는 불활성 가스로 아르곤(Ar) 및 질소($N_2$)를 사용하여 표면에 형성한 막의 모폴로지 및 결정배향성이 내식성에 미치는 상관관계를 해석하고자 하였다. 실험방법으로 PVD법 중 비교적 간편하고 기초적인 지침을 제시하기 적합할 것으로 고려된 진공증착(vacuum evaporation)법을 이용해 아르곤 및 질소 분위기에서 진공도를 조절하며 용융아연도금상 Mg막을 형성하였다. 제작조건별 막의 기초 특성을 분석하기위해 SEM, EDS, XRD를 이용하였고, 결정배향성(crystal orientation) 분석을 위해 면간격(d-value)과 상대강도(relative intensity)를 확인하였다. 또한 내식성 평가로 염수분무(salt sprat test) 및 양극분극(anode polarization)을 각각 실시하였다. 실험결과에 따르면, Ar 및 $N_2$ 모두에서 가스압이 증가할수록 코팅층의 증착량은 적어지고 입상정(granular structure)의 모폴로지 형성 및 면간격과 상대강도가 증가하는 것이 확인되었다. 또한 쳄버 내 동일 진공도에서, $N_2$ 도입 시 Mg막은 더욱 치밀하고 미세한 입상정의 모폴로지로 형성되며 면간격과 상대강도는 더욱 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 내식성 평가에서 저진공 $N_2$ 조건에서 형성시킨 막이 가장 우수한 내식성이 나타났는데, 이는 상대적으로 불안정하고 반응하기 유리한 입계면적을 많이 포함한 입상정 모폴로지 및 표면에너지가 높은면의 면점유율 증가로 인해 외부환경과의 신속한 반응은 물론 안정적인 피막형성이 용이하였기 때문일 것으로 사료된다. 이상으로 Ar 및 $N_2$ 가스압 조건에 따른 고내식 Mg 막의 유효성을 확인하였고 향후 내식성을 향상시키는 방법으로 응용 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

Soil water retention characteristics are influenced by factors of the confining stress and hysteresis in the variably saturated soil. In the description of effective stress based on hydraulic characteristics, the contribution of a matric suction to effective stress then varies with depth or is different between the processes of infiltration and evaporation. Unsaturated effective stress can be described based on suction stress characteristic curve, in which a representative soil water retention curve is required to evaluate. Pressure palate extractor tests under various confining stresses were performed and the hysteresis of drying and wetting process was also acquired. In the process of drying or wetting, a unique relationship has been estimated on the effective volumetric water content and the matric suction, which defines suction stress characteristic curve. In the unsaturated shear strength from triaxial tests, the suction stress and the effective stress were evaluated by matric suctions. The failure envelop by effective stress based on soil water retention characteristics was unique and the same as the saturated one. The measured suction stress from triaxial tests was similar to that from the soil water retention curve. Therefore it is verified that a representative soil water retention curve can be defined which is independent of the confining effect under wetting or drying process of the hysteresis.

Anaerobic Digestion - Thermophilic Oxic Process(ADTOP) has been known to be one way reducing and composting of organic wastes without draining or forming excess sludge. It could be completely performed by the evaporation of water using the bio-energy from the microbial degradation of organic. In the present study the complete treatment of Chinese restaurant wastes was conducted and utility of bio-energy produced from the ADTOP was estimated. Base on results, it could be concluded as follows; 1) chinese restaurant wastes could be completely treated using the TOP without draining or excess sludge. Maximum volumetric loading rate was determined as $55.0kg-garbage/m^3$. Input water was almostly evaporated and 90.5% of carboneous organic wastes was conversed to carbondioxide. 2)The optimum volumetric loading rate which is acceptable to maintain over $55^{\circ}C$ in the anaerobic digester was determined as $45kg-garbage/m^3{\cdot}d$. 3) The optimum HRT was at least over 10 days in order to maintain about $50^{\circ}C$ in the anaerobic digester using bio-energy produced from TOP. Therefore the utilization of bio-energy produced from TOP could be used in the process which had long HRT such as the anaerobic digestion. 4) The efficiency of anaerobic digester rate were over 90% by the ADTOP under the organic loading rate of $1.1kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$, 50kg-Chinese restaurant garbage and $250{\ell}/m^3{\cdot}min$ of the aeration rate.

It is crucial to measure meteorological elements in relation to the biodeterioration of building cultural heritages. The Beopjusa and Seonamsa temples located respectively in Chungbuk and Jeonnam provinces, Korea, exhibit biological damage to the building cultural heritages and cause noticeable climatic differences. To compare biodeterioration environments of the abovementioned temples, 10 meteorological elements were observed, and particulate matter (TSP) was collected at each location. Furthermore, a correlation analysis was conducted between meteorological elements, and between meteorological elements and TSP. The local meteorology at Beopjusa temple characteristically showcased high total horizontal radiation, UV radiation, evaporation, wind speed, and TSP concentration, whereas, that at Seonamsa temple showcased high temperature, humidity, dew point temperature, air pressure, precipitation and number of days with precipitation. An elemental analysis of TSP revealed the presence of sae-salts at Seonamsa temple, and compared to that of Beopjusa temple, the monthly frequencies of biogenic aerosol and Fe-containing particles were higher. The correlation analysis showed that wind speed and humidity were major meteorological factors at Beopjusa and Seonamsa temples, respectively. Subsequently, the characteristics of the local meteorology at Seonamsa temple are expected to affect the biological damage of the building cultural heritages, which is favorable for the growth of various organisms.
