실리콘 기판 위에서 $TiO_2$와 $Bi_2O_3$의 박막 성장은 반응속도론 측면에서 커다란 차이를 보였지만, $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$(BIT) 박막의 성장은 주로 $TiO_2$ 성장 거동에 의해 지배를 받았다. 그 결과 BIT 박막은 bismuth가 부족한 조성을 가지게 되었다. 박막 내에 부족한 bismuth의 양을 보충해줌으로써 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 펄스 주입 유기 금속 화학 기상 증착(MOCVD) 방법을 사용하였다. 이러한 펄스 주입법에 의해 bismuth의 양은 증가하였고 또한, 박막의 깊이 방향으로의 조성이 균일해졌고 $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$과 Si사이의 계면이 향상되었다. 게다가, $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ 박막의 결정성은 크게 향상되었고 누설 전류 밀도는 연속 주입법에 비해 1/2에서 1/3정도 낮아졌다. 시계 방향의 C-V 이력 곡선이 관찰되었고 이로 인해 펄스 주입법에 의해 증착된 $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$ 박막은 강유전성에 의해 스위칭이 됨을 알 수 있었다.

Interest in use of ink-jet printing for pattern-on-demand fabrication of metal interconnects without complicated and wasteful etching process has been on rapid increase. However, ink-jet printing is a wet process and needs an additional thermal treatment such as an annealing process. Since a metal ink is a suspension containing metal nanoparticles and organic capping molecules to prevent aggregation of them, the microstructure of an ink-jet printed metal interconnect 'as dried' can be characterized as a stack of loosely packed nanoparticles. Therefore, during being treated thermally, an inkjet-printed interconnect is likely to evolve a characteristic microstructure, different from that of the conventionally vacuum-deposited metal films. Microstructure characteristics can significantly affect the corresponding electrical and mechanical properties. The characteristics of change in microstructure and electrical resistivity of inkjet-printed silver (Ag) films when annealed isothermally at a temperature between 170 and $240^{\circ}C$ were analyzed. The change in electrical resistivity was described using the first-order exponential decay kinetics. The corresponding activation energy of 0.44 eV was explained in terms of a thermally-activated mechanism, i.e., migration of point defects such as vacancy-oxygen pairs, rather than microstructure evolution such as grain growth or change in porosity.

The effects of printed circuit board electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) and organic solderability preservative (OSP) surface finishes on the electromigration reliability and shear strength of Sn-3.5Ag Pb-free solder bump were systematically investigated. In-situ annealing tests were performed in a scanning electron microscope chamber at 130, 150, and $170^{\circ}C$ in order to investigate the growth kinetics of intermetallic compound (IMC). Electromigration lifetime and failure modes were investigated at $150^{\circ}C$ and $1.5{\times}10^5A/cm^2$, while ball shear tests and failure mode analysis were conducted under the high-speed conditions from 10 mm/s to 3000 mm/s. The activation energy of ENIG and OSP surface finishes during annealing were evaluated as 0.84 eV and 0.94 eV, respectively. The solder bumps with ENIG surface finish showed longer electromigration lifetime than OSP surface finish. Shear strengths between ENIG and OSP were similar, and the shear energies decreased with increasing shear speed. Failure analysis showed that electrical and mechanical reliabilities were very closely related to the interfacial IMC stabilities.

입체규칙성이 다른 폴리프로필렌 (PP)의 결정화 거동을 비교하였다. 결정화 조건은 신디오택틱 폴리프로필렌 (sPP)과 아이소택틱 폴리프로필렌 (iPP)의 단위 결정 격자, 라멜라 구조, 구정의 성장에 영향을 주었다. 냉각속도가 증가할수록 결정 구조의 안정성이 감소하였으며, 냉각속도에 따른 구조적 변화는 iPP 가 sPP보다 크게 나타났다. sPP는 1 $^{\circ}C$/min 이하의 속도로 서냉될 때 body centered cell H의 fully antichiral packing 구조를 형성하였고 sPP가 primitive cellII구조를 형성할 때, 결정 격자와 라멜라 구조는 열이력의 영향을 작게 받은 것으로 확인되었다. 최대 결정화 온도에서 결정화 속도는 iPP가 sPP보다 빠르게 나타났다.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the most employed cell factories for the production of bioproducts. Although monomeric hexose sugars constitute the preferential carbon source, this yeast can grow on a wide variety of nitrogen sources that are catabolized through central nitrogen metabolism (CNM). To evaluate the effects of internal perturbations on nitrogen utilization, we characterized strains deleted or overexpressed in GLT1, encoding for one of the key enzymes of the CNM node, the glutamate synthase. These strains, together with the parental strain as control, have been cultivated in minimal medium formulated with ammonium sulfate, glutamate, or glutamine as nitrogen source. Growth kinetics, together with the determination of protein content, viability, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation at the single cell level, revealed that GLT1 modulations do not significantly influence the cellular physiology, whereas the nitrogen source does. As important exceptions, GLT1 deletion negatively affected the scavenging activity of glutamate against ROS accumulation, when cells were treated with H₂O₂, whereas Glt1p overproduction led to lower viability in glutamine medium. Overall, this confirms the robustness of the CNM node against internal perturbations, but, at the same time, highlights its plasticity in respect to the environment. Considering that side-stream protein-rich waste materials are emerging as substrates to be used in an integrated biorefinery, these results underline the importance of preliminarily evaluating the best nitrogen source not only for media formulation, but also for the overall economics of the process.

자연 발효과정중에 GRam 향성 및 음성세균의 수를 신속하고동시에 측정할 t ndlT는 방법을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 Gram 염색법을 응용하였다. 그 결과로써 Gram 염색법에의 세균수는 분광광도계에 의한 혼탁도와 A610=0.7의 범위내에서 비례관계가 성립하였다. 염색조작중 세척에 의한 균의 제거는 약 8%를 초과하지 않았다. 그리고 Escherichia coli와 Micrococcus luteus의 혼합액에서 이들의 분리 측정에 대한 표준오차는 $5.1\pm2.3$%이었다. 계수가능범위는 $5.5\times 10^{7}-1.0\times 10^{9}$세포 / ml 이었다. 그러므로 일반적인 Gram 염색법은 Gram 양성 및 음성 개체군이 혼합된 배양약에서 이들을 분별 측정하는데도 적용될 수 있다고 본다. 실제적으로, 대마침지와 김치 발효과정에서 균 생장의 동역학적 관계를 검토하였다.

Silver-based systems activated by low intensity direct current continue to be investigated as an alternative antimicrobial for infection prophylaxis and treatment. However there has been limited research on the quantitative characterization of the antimicrobial efficacy of such systems. The objective of this study was to develop a semi-mechanistic pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model providing the quantitative relationship between the critical system parameters and the degree of antimicrobial efficacy. First, time-kill curves were experimentally established for a strain of Staphylococcus aureus in a nutrientrich fluid environment over 48 hours. Based on these curves, a modified PK/PD model was developed with two components: a growing silver-susceptible bacterial population and a depreciating bactericidal process. The test of goodness-of-fit showed that the model was robust and had good predictability ($R^2>0.7$). The model demonstrated that the current intensity was positively correlated to the initial killing rate and the bactericidal fatigue rate of the system while the anode surface area was negatively correlated to the fatigue rate. The model also allowed the determination of the effective range of these two parameters within which the system has significant antimicrobial efficacy. In conclusion, the modified PK/PD model successfully described bacterial growth and killing kinetics when the bacteria were exposed to the electrically activated silver-titanium implant system. This modeling approach as well as the model itself can also potentially contribute to the development of optimal design strategies for other similar antimicrobial systems.

The effects of Nickle (Ni) addition on bainitic transformation and property of ultrahigh strength bainitic steels are investigated by three austempering processes. The results indicate that Ni addition hinders the isothermal bainite transformation kinetics, and decreases the volume fraction of bainite due to the decrease of chemical driving force for nucleation and growth of bainite transformation. Moreover, the product of tensile strength and total elongation (PSE) of high carbon bainitic steels decreases with Ni addition at higher austempering temperatures (220 and $250^{\circ}C$), while it shows no significant difference at lower austempering temperature ($200^{\circ}C$). For the same steel (Ni-free or Ni-added steel), the amounts of bainite and RA firstly increase and then decrease with the increase of the austempering temperature, resulting in the highest PSE in the sample austempered at temperature of $220^{\circ}C$. In addition, the effects of austempering time on bainite amount and property of high carbon bainitic steels are also analyzed. It indicates that in a given transformation time range of 30 h, more volume of bainite and better mechanical property in high carbon bainitic steels can be obtained by increasing the isothermal transformation time.

The effect of sintering conditions on the austenite stability and strain-induced martensitic transformation of nanocrystalline FeCrC alloy is investigated. Nanocrystalline FeCrC alloys are successfully fabricated by spark plasma sintering with an extremely short densification time to obtain the theoretical density value and prevent grain growth. The nanocrystallite size in the sintered alloys contributes to increased austenite stability. The phase fraction of the FeCrC sintered alloy before and after deformation according to the sintering holding time is measured using X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction analysis. During compressive deformation, the volume fraction of strain-induced martensite resulting from austenite decomposition is increased. The transformation kinetics of the strain-induced martensite is evaluated using an empirical equation considering the austenite stability factor. The hardness of the S0W and S10W samples increase to 62.4-67.5 and 58.9-63.4 HRC before and after deformation. The hardness results confirmed that the mechanical properties are improved owing to the effects of grain refinement and strain-induced martensitic transformation in the nanocrystalline FeCrC alloy.
