Micro-Pulling Down (${\mu}$-PD) 법을 이용하여 $MnO_2$와 $Tb_4O_7$를 첨가하여 crack. 열 strain 등의 결함이 없는 화학양론조성의 $LiNbO_3$ 단결정을 c-축으로 직경 1.0mm, 길이 25-30mm의 크기로 성장시켰다. Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA)를 이용하여 결정 내에 $MnO_2$와 $Tb_4O_7$이 균일하게 분포되어 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectrophotometer (FT-IR)을 사용하여 OH 흡수밴드를 관찰하였고, 성장된 결정의 $MnO_2$와 $Tb_4O_7$ 첨가에 따른 형광특성의 변화를 측정하였다.

The quaternary Ti-Al-V-N films have been grown on glass substrates by reactive dc and rf magnetron sputter deposition from a Ti-6Al-4V target in mixed Ar-$N_2$ discharges. The Ti-Al-V-N films were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD), electron probe microanalysis(EPMA) and scratch tester. Both XRD and EPMA results indicated that the Ti-Al-V-N films were of single B1 NaCl phase having columnar structure with the (111) preferred orientation. Scratch tester results showed that the adhesion strength of Ti-Al-V-N films which treated with substrate heating and vacuum annealing was superior to that of as-deposited film. The good adhesion strength was also achieved in the double-layer structure of Ti-Al-V-N/Ti-Al-V/Glass.

Effect of soaking temperature on erbium doping of the optical fiber core during solution doping procedure, especially in the modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) process, was investigated. The concentration of dopants such as $Er^{3+} and Al^{3+}$ in the preforms and the optical fibers measured by the electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and the optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) was found to increase with decreasing the soaking temperature. The increase in the concentration of the $Er^{3+}$ is attributed to the precipitation of the erbium due to the decrease in the solubility as well as the increase of capillary force and viscosity of the doping solution by decreasing the temperature.

To elucidate the effects of alloying elements on the characteristics of microstructure and high temperature oxidation of cast austenitic stainless steel, a thermodynamic calculation, a cyclic oxidation test, a X-ray diffraction, a scanning electron microscopy-back scattered electron, a electron probe microanalysis were conducted. The thermodynamic calculation for the effect of vanadium (V) addition on the formation of various precipitates leads to a decrease of chromium (Cr)-rich $M_{23}C_6$ carbides due to the formation of M (C, N) carbo-nitrides containing V and / or niobium (Nb). The V added alloy increased the resistance to high temperature oxidation due to a decrease of Cr-depleted zone deteriorating the oxidation resistance and due to the V-enriched oxide layer formed in inner oxide layer blocking the outward transport of cations.

A quantitative single particle analytical technique, denoted low-Z particle electron probe X-ray microanalysis (low-Z particle EPMA), was applied to characterize particulate matters collected at two underground subway stations, Jegidong and Yangje stations, in Seoul, Korea. To clearly identify the source of the indoor aerosols in the subway stations, four sets of samples were collected at four different locations within the subway stations: in the tunnel; at the platform; near the ticket office; nearby outdoors. Aerosol samples collected on stages 2 and 3 ($D_p$: $10-2.5\;{\mu}m$ and $2.5-1.0\;{\mu}m$, respectively) in a 3-stage Dekati $PM_{10}$ impactor were investigated. Samples were collected during summertime in 2009. The major chemical species observed in the subway particle samples were Fe-containing, carbonaceous, and soil-derived particles, and secondary aerosols such as nitrates and sulfates. Among them, Fe-containing particles were the most popular. The tunnel samples contained 85-88% of Fe-containing particles, with the abundance of Fe-containing particles decreasing as the distances of sampling locations from the tunnel increased. The Fe-containing subway particles were generated mainly from mechanical wear and friction processes at rail-wheel-brake interfaces. Carbonaceous, soil-derived, and secondary nitrate and/or sulfate particles observed in the underground subway particles likely flowed in from the outdoor environment by human activities and the air-exchange between the subway system and the outdoors. In addition, since the platform screen doors (PSDs) limit air-mixing between the tunnel and the platform, samples collected at the platform at the Yangjae station (with PSDs) showed a marked decrease in the relative abundances of Fe-containing particles compared to the Jegidong station (without PSDs).

The carbon-coated Si/Cu powder has been prepared by mechanical ball milling and hydrocarbon gas decomposition methods. The phase of Si/Cu powder was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), dispersive Raman spectroscopy, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The carbon-coated Si/Cu powders were used as anode active material for lithium-ion batteries. Their electrochemical properties were investigated by charge/discharge test using commercial LiCo$O_2$ cathode and lithium foil electrode, respectively. The surface phase of Si/Cu powders consisted of carbon phase like the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a spacing layer of 0.35 nm. The carbon-coated Si/Cu/graphite composite anode exhibited a higher capacity than commercial graphite anode. However, the cyclic efficiency and the capacity retention of the composite anode were lower compared with graphite anode as cycling proceeds. This effect may be attributed to some mass limitations in LiCo$O_2$ cathode materials during the cycling.

The paper summarizes the irradiation test and post-irradiation examination (PIE) data for the U-Mo low-enriched fuel that was irradiated in the MIR reactor under the RERTR Program. The PIE data were analyzed for both full-size fuel rods and mini-rods with atomized powder dispersed in Al matrix as well as with additions of 2%, 5% and 13% of silicon in the matrix and ZrN protective coating on the fuel particles. The full-size fuel rods were irradiated up to an average burnup of ${\sim}60%^{235}U$; the mini-rods were irradiated to an average burnup of ${\sim}85%^{235}U$. The presented data show a significant increase of the void fraction in the U-Mo alloy as the U-235 burnup rises from ~ 40% up to ~ 85%. The effect of irradiation test conditions and U-235 burnup were analyzed with regard to the formation of an interaction layer between the matrix and fuel particles as well as generation of porosity in the U-Mo alloy. Shown here are changes in distribution of U fission products as the U-235 burnup increases from ~ 40% up to ~ 85%.

이 연구에서는 알칼리-실리카 반응성을 평가하는데 적용되는 ASTM C 227과 ASTM C 1260 모르타르 봉 시험법으로 쇄석골재의 반응성을 평가하고, 제작된 모르타르를 3년간 일반 환경에 노출시킨 뒤, 알칼리-실리카 반응으 로 인해 생성될 수 있는 반응생성물 확인과 화학분석을 위해 SEM과 EPMA 분석을 실시하였다. 이 연구에서는 SEM의 secondary electron image(SEI)와 EPMA의 backscattered electron image(BSEI)를 이용하였다. 이 연구에 사용된 쇄석골재 는 ASTM C 227에 의해서는 2년간 뚜렷한 팽창을 나타내지 않았지만, KOH 용액을 이용한 반응촉진법에 의해서는 유 해 가능성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 모르타르 봉 시험 시행 후, SEM SEI 분석 결과, ASTM C 227에 의해 제작된 모 르타르 봉에서는 골재 입자와 시멘트페이스트 사이에 알칼리-실리카 반응에 의한 흔적이나 pore 내에서 반응생성물이 확인되지 않았다. 하지만 ASTM C 1260에 의한 모르타르 봉에서는 알칼리-실리카 반응의 전형적인 반응생성물로 알려 진 꽃잎형(rosette morphology)의 알칼리-실리카 겔(gel)이 확인되었다. EPMA 분석 결과, ASTM C 227에 의한 모르타르 봉에서도 골재 입자 표면에 부분적으로 미세하게 Al-ASR gel이 확인됨에 따라 ASTM C 227에 의해 2년간 무해한 팽 창을 나타내었던 모르타르 봉에서도 알칼리-실리카 반응이 발생하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 반응성 촉진 시험 후의 모르 타르의 EPMA 분석 결과에서는 골재 입자에 발생된 균열 내부뿐만 아니라 pore 내부에 알칼리-실리카 겔이 축적되어 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 pore 내에서 확인된 겔이 골재 입자 내부에 생성된 겔에 비해 Ca 함량이 더 풍부한 것 으로 나타났다. 국내에서 생산되는 쇄석골재 사용으로 인하여 구조물 내부에 발생한 변화를 미세구조를 통해 확인한 결 과, 알칼리-실리카 반응에 의한 구조물 열화를 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 국내 쇄석골재 사용량 증가에 따라 새로운 건설에 있어서 알칼리-실리카 반응 방지를 위한 고려가 있어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Rewritable optical disk is one of the essential data storage media in these days, which takes advantage of the different optical properties in the amorphous and crystalline states of phase change materials. As well known, data transfer rate is one of the most important parameter of the phase change optical disks, which is mostly limited by the crystallization speed of recording media. Therefore, we doped Sn/Bi to $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ alloy in order to improve the crystallization speed and investigated the dependence of phase change characteristics on Sn/Bi doping concentration. The Sn/Bi doped $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ thin film was deposited by RF magnetron co-sputtering system and phase change characteristics were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), static tester, UV-visible spectrophotometer, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Optimum doping concentration of Bi and Sn were 5${\~}$6 at.$\%$ and the minimum time for crystallization was below than 20 ns. This improvement is correlated with the simple crystalline structure of Sn/Bi doped $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ and the reduced activation barrier arising from Sn/Bi doping. The results indicate that Sn/Bi might play an important role in the transformation kinetics of phase change materials..
