회분식 통풍관형(DTB) 냉각 결정화기에서 3-nitro-1,2,4,-triazol-5-one(NTO)의 결정화 메카니즘에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 결정성장속도 및 핵생성속도에 대한 과포화 의존성이 조사되었다. 핵생성 메카니즘 판별을 위한 Mersmann 이론을 이용하여 NTO의 핵생성 거동에 대한 메카니즘이 파악되었다. DTB 결정화기에서 NTO의 핵생성 거동은 불균일핵생성과 표면핵생성이 동시에 기여함을 알 수 있었다. 핵생성속도는 과포화에 4.2승에 비례하였고 결정성장속도는 과포화의 2.9승에 비례하였다. 회분식 DTB 냉각 결정화에서 얻은 NTO 결정의 크기는 결정화 메카니즘으로부터 얻어진 상관식으로부터 검증되었다.

일반적으로 재료의 응고조직은 주상정과 등축정 수지상 영역으로 이루어지는데 이것은 제품의 기계적, 물리적 성질과 밀접한 관계를 가지기 때문에 주상정-등축정 천이에 관한 많은 이론적 연구가 행하여지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 J.D. Hunt에 의하여 일방향응고시 주상정앞에서의 핵생성과 결정성장조건을 이용하여 구하여진 해석학적 주상정-등축정 조건식을 바탕으로 응고속도에 따라 변하는 분배계수와 액상선기울기를 적용하여 수정된 조건식을 구하였다. 그리고 Al-Cu합금에 대하여 응고변수인 핵생성수, 핵생성온도, 합금의 조성, 응고속도 온도기울기에 따른 천이현상의 변화를 조사하였다.

The crystallization behavior and microstructural change of the glass-ceramics were analyzed as a function of concentration and etching time of the HF solution in order to enhance the degree of crystallinity induced by heterogeneous nucleation of glass of bottom ash containing 15 wt% $Li_2O$. The nucleation site seemed to be generated where the Si ion was eluted. The main crystal phases in the glass-ceramics fabricated in this study were $\beta$-spodumene and $Li_2SiO_3$. The specimens etched with HF of 0.5 vol% within 0~60 seconds showed increased crystalline peak intensities in XRD pattern with etching time compared to no-etched one. Also the crystal size and crystal occupancy in the glass matrix observed by SEM were increased with etching time. For the glass-ceramics etched with 1.0 and 2.0 vol% HF solution, the etching time over 10 s was not effective to increase the crystallinity. From this study, it was found that the glass-ceramics with the higher crystallinity could be obtained by HF-etching followed by heat treatment process, even though the nucleating agent or 2-stages thermal treatment process were not used.

Domain structure and polarization switching in (001)-oriented $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-x%PbTiO_3$ (PMN-x%PT) crystals for x=20 and 35at% have been investigated in-situ by scanning force microscope (SFM) in a piezoresponse mode under a step DC electrical voltage. In the initial annealed condition, polar nano domains (PND) and domain striations oriented along {110} were observed in x=20 and x=35, respectively. For x=20, domain switching occurs by heterogeneous nucleation, where nucleation is not confined in the vicinity of domain boundaries, but rather can occur throughout the crystal volume. However, for x=35, domain switching tends to be preferentially initiated near pre-existing twin boundaries. With increasing the applying voltage, the nuclei density increased and assembled into {110} striations, indicating a stress-accommodated domain growth process. At higher voltage, nucleation occurs heterogeneously throughout the crystal volume.

TiO2-SnO2 fine powders prepared by coprecipitation from TiCl4-SnCl4 aqueous solution, and their crystal structures were studied. All the TiO2-SnO2 fine powders calcined at 180~$700^{\circ}C$ showed the complete solid solution between TiO2(rutile structure) and SnO2(rutile structure). This crystal structure of TiO2-SnO2 powders is thought to be originated mainly from the heterogeneous nucleation of Ti-hydroxde on the Sn-hydroxide with coherent structure.

The solidification behavior of the squeeze cast composites of aluminum alloys reinforced with boron fiber($100{\mu}m$) and silicon carbide fibers($140{\mu}m$ and $15{\mu}m$) were investigated. Al-4.5wt%Cu and Al-l0wt%Mg were chosen for the matrix phase of the composites. In the squeeze cast specimen with high thermal difference between fiber and melt, the average secondary dendrite arm spacing(DAS) in reinforced alloy is smaller than that in unreinforced alloy. It was also observed that primary ${\alpha}$ and non-equilibrium eutectic, which seems to be penetrated and solidified at the final stage of the solidification of the matrix, are irregularly distributed around fibers. It is considered that cold fibers serve as heterogeneous nucleation site. While in the remelted and resolidified specimen without temperature difference, the DAS was not changed with reinforcement and microstructure reveals non-equilibrium eutectic with relatively uniform thickness around fibers. It might be evident the nucleation starts at interfiber region. Microsegregation decreases with the decrease in cooling rate and with reinforcement in the as-squeeze cast specimen. Al-10wt% Mg alloy shows less microsegregation than Al-4.5wt%Cu alloy.

저압 화학 기상증착법으로 제작한 비정질 실리콘의 표면 형태 및 결정 성장 과정을 증착조건과 열처리 조건의 변화에 따라 조사하였다. 비정질에서 결정으로 변화하는 전이온도인 570~$590^{\circ}C$에서 증착한 시편은 (311)조직의 거친 표면으로 성장하였다. 같은 증착 온도에서 두께가 두꺼울수록 다결정에서 비정질로 변화하였다. 증착하는 과정에서의 결정화는 기판에서부터 시작되지만, 진공상태를 그대로 유지하고 비정질 실리콘을 전이온도에서 열처리하면 표면 실리콘 원자가 이동하여 결정화하였다.

The effect of wheel surface condition on solidification behavior of Al-Cu ribbon was investigated in order to establish extreme levels of heat extraction. The condition of wheel surface was changed either by heating the wheel surface up to $200^{\circ}C$ or by coating boron nitride(BN) onto the the rim of a wheel. Heating the wheel surface up to $200^{\circ}C$ improved the wetting behavior between the molten metal and the rotating wheel, leading to an increase in the ratio of columnar structure to the entire thickness of Al-4.3wt%Cu and Al-33.2wt%Cu ribbons. For Al-4.3wt%Cu ribbon, assuming one grain as a single heterogeneous nucleation event at the contact point, the nucleation density with the wheel surface heated to $200^{\circ}C$, was $4{\times}10^6/mm^2$, and in the cases of BN coating with thin and thick layers, $10^5/mm^2$ and $5{\times}10^4/mm^2$, respectively. The largest cooling capacity of the wheel corresponded to the heated wheel surface, and as the thickness of BN coating layer increased, the cooling capacity of the wheel gradually decreased.

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have recently emerged as a material with outstanding properties. It has shown promising potential for applications in many engineering fields as electronic devices, thermal conductors, and light-weight composites. Researchers have investigated their use as reinforcements in themetal matrix composites of CNTs. In the present work, we decorated CNTs with Ni particles by electroless plating. The CNTs were wet-ball milled for various milling times with a nickel sulfate solution. The precipitated Ni particles were observed mainly by FESEM. In this study, the dispersion of the CNTs and Ni particles was improved with the addition of the surfactant. Also, as the CNTs were shortened and widened by an increased ball milling time, the size of the precipitated Ni particles increased. It was estimated that the CNTs were deformed and caused some defects on their surface during the ball milling process. Those defects were assumed to be heterogeneous nucleation sites for the Ni particles.

The volatilization of alkali ions in (K,Na)NbO₃ (KNN) ceramics was inhibited by doping them with alkaline earth metal ions. In addition, the grain growth behavior changed significantly as the sintering duration (t_s) increased. At 1,100 ℃, the volatilization of alkali ions in KNN ceramics was more suppressed when doped with alkaline earth metal ions with smaller ionic size. A Ca²⁺-doped KNN specimen with the least alkali ion volatilization exhibited a microstructure in which grain growth was completely suppressed, even under long-term sintering for t_s = 30 h. The grain growth in Sr²⁺-doped and Ba²⁺-doped KNN specimens was suppressed until t_s = 10 h. However, at t_s = 30 h, a heterogeneous microstructure with abnormal grains and small-sized matrix grains was observed. The size and number of abnormal grains and size distribution of matrix grains were considerably different between the Sr²⁺-doped and Ba²⁺-doped specimens. This microstructural diversity in KNN ceramics could be explained in terms of the crystal growth driving force required for two-dimensional nucleation, which was directly related to the number of vacancies in the material.
