Tantalum-containing metal oxides, well known for their efficiency in water splitting and H2 production, have never been used in visible light driven photodecomposition of H2S and H2 production. The present work is an attempt in this direction and investigates their efficiency. A mixed metal oxide, ZnFe2Ta2O9, with the inclusion of Fe2O3 to impart color, was prepared by the conventional ceramic route in single- and double-calcinations (represented as ZnFe2Ta2O9-SC and ZnFe2Ta2O9-DC respectively). The XRD characterization shows that both have identical patterns and reveals tetragonal structure to a major extent and a minor contribution of orthorhombic crystalline system. The UV-visible diffuse reflection spectra demonstrate the intense, coherent and wide absorption of visible light by both the catalysts, with absorption edge at 650 nm, giving rise to a band gap of 1.9 eV. Between the two catalysts, however, ZnFe2Ta2O9-DC has greater absorption in almost the entire wavelength region, which accounts for its strong brown coloration than ZnFe2Ta2O9-SC when viewed by the naked eye. In photocatalysis, both catalysts decompose H2S under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm) and produce solar H2 at a much higher rate than previously reported catalysts. Nevertheless, ZnFe2Ta2O9-DC distinguishes itself from ZnFe2Ta2O9-SC by exhibiting a higher efficiency because of its greater light absorption. Altogether, the tantalum-containing mixed metal oxide proves its efficient catalytic role in H2S decomposition and H2 production process also.

The damping capacity and strength of Fe-2Al-26Mn alloys have been studied for the development of new materials with high strength and damping capacity. Particularly, the effect of ${\alpha}'\;and\;{\varepsilon}$ martensite phase, which constitutes the microstructure of cold rolled Fe-Al-Mn alloys, has been investigated in terms of the strength and damping capacity of the alloys. The damping capacity rises with increasing the degree of cold rolling and reveals the maximum value at 25% reduction. The damping capacity is strongly affected by the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite, while the other phases, such as ${\alpha}'$ martensite and austenite phase, actually exhibit little effect on damping capacity. Considering that tensile strength increases and elongation decreases with increasing the volume fraction of ${\alpha}'$ martensite, it is proved that tensile strength is mainly affected by the amount of ${\alpha}'$ martensite.

In order to analyze accurately the vibration of a structure by using the finite element method (FEM), we have to model a analytical structure as a numerical model with many degrees-of-freedom. However, in this case, the FEM needs much computation time and storage. The authors developed the finite element-transfer stiffness coefficient method (FE-TSCM) for overcoming the drawback of the FEM. In this paper, the authors apply the FE-TSCM to the in-plane vibration analysis of general plates with various shapes. Two numerical examples, a rectangular plate and a triangular plate, are used to compare the results of the FE-TSCM and the FEM. Through the numerical calculation, we confirm that the FE-TSCM can be applied to the in-plane free or forced vibration analysis of the general plates with various shapes and is effective to in-plane vibration analysis of general plates.

The search for high-density recording materials has been one of most active and vigorous field in the field of magnetism. $FePt-L1_{0}$ nanoparticle has emerged as a potential candidate because of its high anisotropy. In this paper, we provide an overview of recent work at Argonne National Laboratory that contributes to the ongoing dialogue concerning the relation between structure and properties of the FePt nanoparticle system. In particular we discuss the ability to control structure and properties via dosing with Cr. Cr-dosed FePt films were grown via molecular beam epitaxy and annealed at $550^{\circ}C$ in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber, and were studied with the surface magneto-optic Kerr effect (SMOKE), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). We found that small dosage of Cr helps to generate $L1_{0}$ phase FePt magnetic nanoparticles with small size, defined shape and regular spatial distribution on MgO (001) substrate. The nanostructures are ferromagnetic with high magnetic coercivity (${\sim}0.9T$) and magnetic easy axis in the desired out-of-plane orientation. We also show that controlling the lateral region where nanostructures exist is possible via artificial patterning with Cr.

방사성폐기물 유리화 공전 중 용융로 내에서 유리시료를 직접분석 하기 위한 레이저유도 플라즈마분광법(LIBS: Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy)을 개발 중이다. LIBS 시스템을 구성하기 위하여 분광기, 검출기, 레이저 등의 장비들을 구축하였다. 분광기는 CCD(charge coupled device)가 보정되어 내장되어있는 ESA 3000을 레이저는 Q-switched Nd-YAG인 Brilliant로 구매하여 분석시스템을 구축하였다. 구축된 분석시스템 분야별 성능들을 확인하였으며 최적화 연구를 수행하였다. 첫 번째 단계로 Fe가 함유된 시료에 레이저를 주사하였을 때 발광스펙트럼을 측정하였으며 검출기의 지연시간을 변화시켰을 때의 발광스펙트럼의 특성과 이를 이용한 여기온도를 Einstein-Boltzmann 식을 이용하여 계산하였다. 시료에 532nm Nd-YAG 레이저를 주사하고 검출기의 지연시간을 500, 1000, 1500, 2000ns로 변화시켰을 때의 분광선의 intensity 및 여기온도 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과 검출시간이 1500㎱ 일 때 여기온도는 7820k로 가장 최적의 상태를 확인하였다. 향후 이 시스템은 유리화 실증시설에 적용되어 용융로 외부로의 유리시료 이송 없이 현장에서 유리성분들의 정량분석을 수행할 예정이다.

Solid solutions of the (1-x)$BiFeO_3-xSrTiO_3$ ceramic system (x = 0~0.4) are explored here in attempts to obtain multiferroic properties in these systems. The polarization-electric field hysteresis, magnetization-magnetic field curves, and dielectric properties are also characterized. This solid-solution system shows a crystal structural transition from a noncentrosymmetric (R3c) structure to a centrosymmetric (Pm-3m) structure at 0.3 < x < 0.4. The solid solution ceramic shows unsaturated M-H behavior and low remanent magnetization over the composition region of 0.1 ${\leq}$ x ${\leq}$ 0.3. The $0.7BiFeO_3-0.3SrTiO_3$ system shows the largest value of $M_s$ at 0.17 emu/g and the smallest value of $H_c$ at 1.06 kOe. The P-E hysteresis curves were not saturated under an electric field as high as E = 70 kV/cm. This system is considered to have multiferroic characteristics in the composition range of 0.1 ${\leq}$ x ${\leq}$ 0.3.

In this study, powder compaction of AZO (alumina doped zinc oxide) powder was performed with a MTS 810 test system using a cylindrical die having a diameter of 10mm. Pressure-density curves were measured based on the load cell and displacement of the punch. The AZO powder compacts with various densities were formed to investigate the mechanical properties such as fracture stress of the AZO powder as a function of the compact density. Two types of compression tests were conducted in order to estimate the fracture stress using different loading paths: a diameteral compression test and a uniaxial compression test. The pressure-density curves of the AZO powder were obtained and the fracture stress of the compacted powders with various densities was estimated. The results show that the compact pressure dramatically increases as the density increases. Based on the experimental results, calibration of the modified Drucker-Prager/Cap model of the AZO powder for use in FE simulations was developed.

석탄가스화기의 내벽은 내화물로 구성되어 있다. 내화물의 침식은 가스화기 내화물의 수명 및 교체시기에 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자이다. 본 논문에서는 슬래그와의 반응에 의한 내화재의 미세구조의 변화를 침식화합물의 형성에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 산화철 농도의 함수로 조사하였다. 산화철 농도가 낮은 KIDECO 탄 슬래그에 산화철을 첨가하여 정적 침식실험을 수행한 후 $(Fe,Cr)_3O_4$의 형성과 침투 슬래그에서의 Fe의 고갈 깊이를 측정하였다. 그리고 FactSage를 이용한 평형계산을 통하여 chromite 형성조건을 조사하고 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 고정된 온도인 $1550^{\circ}C$에서 약 10%의 산화철을 포함한 KIDECO 슬래그에서는 $(Fe,Cr)_3O_4$의 형성이 관찰되지 않았으나 산화철의 함량이 증가될수록 $(Fe,Cr)_3O_4$ 형성이 관찰되었으며, 경계면의 $(Fe,Cr)_3O_4$ 층의 두께가 증가하였고, 산화철의 고갈 깊이도 증가하였다. 또한 산화철의 양이 많아질수록 화학적 침식이 증가하면서 슬래그와 내화물의 경계가 모호해지는 것을 확인하였다. 슬래그-내화재 계의 평형계산은 슬래그의 산화철 농도가 증가할수록 가스화기 조업온도에서 chromite 형성 가능성이 높아짐을 보여주었다, 또한 내화물이 슬래그에 용해된 경우와 같이 $Cr_2O_3$가 낮은 농도로 존재할 때 chromite 형성이 가장 유리하였고, 산화철의 농도가 20% 이하에서는 슬래그와 내화물이 같은 양으로 존재하는 경우가 chromite 형성에 가장 불리하였다.

비화학량론적 치환형 페라이트 Fe$_{}1.429$(Al$_{4-x}$ Ga$_{x}$)$_{0.286}$ Si$_{0.143}$ /O$_4$계의 자기적 상태를 Mossbauer 분광법과 SQUID를 이용해 조사 하였다. 실온에서의 Mossbauer 스펙트럼은 x=0.2 경우 잘 정렬된 두개의 Zeeman 패턴을 보이고 x=0.4 경우 두개의 Zeeman 패턴과 이중선이 중첩되어 나타난다. 이중선의 근원은 치환 및 온도의존성을 고려할때 초상자성 cluster에 의한 것으로 보여지며 Neel's collinear모델과는 현저한 차이를 보이는 희석된 페라이트의 특성을 갖는다. 저온에서의 mossbauer 스팩트럼은 매우 다양한 형태를 보이며 초상자성 cluster의 freezing에 그 원인을 두고 있다. 그 영향으로 온도가 내려감에 따라 다임계적인 자기적 상태를 갖는다. SQUID 측정으로 얻어진 자화값이 50K 이하에서 급격히 감소하였는데 이것은 스핀 freezing과 초상자성 효과를 포함하는 스핀 canting의 효과로 설명되어 진다.

Electromagnetic wave absorbing materials have been developed to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) for electronic devices in recent years. In this study, Fe-Si-B-Nb-Cu base amorphous strip was pulverized using a jet mill and an attritor and heat-treated to get flake-shaped nanocrystalline powders, and then the powders were mixed, cast and dried with dielectric $Al_{2}O_{3}$ powders and binders. As a result, the addition of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ powders improved the absorbing properties of the sheets noticeably compared with those of the sheets without dielectric materials. The sheet mixed with 2 wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}$ powder showed the best electromagnetic wave absorption, which was caused by the increase of the permittivity and the electric resistance due to the dielectric materials finely dispersed on the Fe-based powder.
