In the present work, we propose a molecule (C₁₄H₁₄) that can be used as a building block of hexagonal diamond-type crystals and nanocrystals, including wurtzite structures. This molecule and its combined blocks are similar to diamondoid molecules that are used as building blocks of cubic diamond crystals and nanocrystals. The hexagonal part of this molecule is included in the C₁₂ central part of this molecule. This part can be repeated to increase the ratio of hexagonal to cubic diamond and other structures. The calculated energy gap of these molecules (called hereafter wurtzoids) shows the expected trend of gaps that are less than that of cubic diamondoid structures. The calculated binding energy per atom shows that wurtzoids are tighter structures than diamondoids. Distribution of angles and bonds manifest the main differences between hexagonal and cubic diamond-type structures. Charge transfer, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance and ultraviolet-visible spectra are investigated to identify the main spectroscopic differences between hexagonal and cubic structures at the molecular and nanoscale. Natural bond orbital population analysis shows that the bonding of the present wurtzoids and diamondoids differs from ideal sp³ bonding. The bonding for carbon valence orbitals is in the range (2s^0.982p^3.213p^0.02)-(2s^0.942p^3.313p^0.02) for wurtzoid and (2s^0.932p^3.293p^0.01)-(2s^0.992p^3.443p^0.01) for diamantane.

It is compared the structures of the S-block in the Ba-Co-Zn Y-type hexagonal ferrites (Ba2Co2-xZnxFe12O22, x=0~2) and the Co-Zn spinel ferrites (Co1-xZnxFe2O4, x=0~1) expressed by a hexagonal axis system (space group R3m). The structures have been refined with a Rietveld analysis of the powder X-ray diffraction pattern with high precision (Rwp<0.13, RI<0.03). The overal dimension of the S-block is slightly different from the 1/3 of a hexagonal spinel unit cell as follow: 1.6~2.0% longer c-axis, 1.3~1.6% shorter a-axis and about 1% smaller volume. Upto Zn:Co=1:1 in the Ba-Co-Zn Y-type hexagonal ferrites, the zinc substitute primarily the tetrahedral sites in the S-block. Beyond that the zinc seems to go into the T-block as well.

It has been studied the crystal and block structures of the hexagonal ferrites with M, W, Y and Z types prepared by various coprecipitation-oxidation method. The structures have been refined with a Rietveld analysis of the powder X-ray diffraction pattern with high precision ($R_{WP}$ <0.09, $R_I$ <0.03). The density difference between the S-blocks was proportioned to the cobalt contents in hexagonal ferrites, but that between the R or T-blocks was relatively small. Compared with the blocks and cation-oxygen polyhedra in BaM ($BaFe_{12}O_{19}$), those were bulky to the normal direction for the c-axis in $Co_2W$ ($BaCo_2Fe_{16}O_{27}$) and to the parallel direction for the c-axis in $Co_2Y$ ($Ba_2Co_2Fe_{12}O_{22}$) and $Co_2Z$ ($Ba_3Co_2Fe_{24}O_{41}$). The S-blocks of $Co_2W$, $Co_2Y$, and $Co_2Z$ were unstable and distorted. Because the T-block of $Co_2Z$ was unstable, the T-block was decomposed into the Ba-rich phase and $Co_2W$ at high temperatures above $1200^{\circ}C$. A standard powder X-ray diffraction pattern for $Co_2Z$ was proposed as well.

Conventional braces are often used to provide stiffness to structures; however due to buckling they cannot be used as seismic energy dissipating elements. In this study, a seismic energy dissipation device is proposed which is comprised of a bracing member and a steel hysteretic damper made of steel hexagonal plates. The hexagonal shaped designated fuse causes formation of plastic hinges under axial deformation of the brace. The main advantages of this damper compared to conventional metallic dampers and buckling-restrained braces are the stable and controlled energy dissipation capability with ease of manufacture. The mechanical behavior of the damper is formulated first and a design procedure is provided. Next, the theoretical formulation and the efficiency of the damper are verified using finite element (FE) analyses. An analytical model of the damper is established and its efficiency is further investigated by applying it to seismic retrofit of a case study structure. The seismic performance of the structure is evaluated before and after retrofit in terms of maximum interstory drift ratio, top story displacement, residual displacement, and energy dissipation of dampers. Overall, the median of maximum interstory drift ratios is reduced from 3.8% to 1.6% and the residual displacement decreased in the x-direction which corresponds to the predominant mode shape of the structure. The analysis results show that the developed damper can provide cost-effective seismic protection of structures.

Over the last decade, zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have attracted considerable attention owing to large band gap of 3.37 eV and large exciton binding energy of 60 meV at room temperature [1-3]. Recent interest in ZnO related researches has been switched into the fabrication and characterization of low-dimensional nanostructures, such as nano-wires and nano-dots that can be applicable to manufacture the optoelectronic devices such as ultraviolet lasers, light-emitting-diodes and detectors. Since the optical properties of ZnO nano-structures might be distinct from those of bulk materials or thin films, the low-dimensional phenomena should be examined further. In order to utilize such advanced optoelectronic devices, one of the challenges is how to control the surface state related emissions that are drastically increased with increasing the density of the nano-structures and the surface-to-volume ratio. This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of self-assembled ZnO hexagonal nano-disks grown by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction data and scanning electron microscopy data showed that ZnO hexagonal nano-disks were nucleated on top of the flat surfaces as the film thickness reached to 1.56 ${\mu}m$ and then the number of nano-disks increased with increasing the film thickness. The lateral size of hexagonal nano-disks was ~720 nm and height was ~74 nm. The strong photo luminescence spectra obtained at 10 K was also observed, which was assigned to a surface exciton emission at 3.3628 eV arising from the surface sites of hexagonal nano-disks.

$Sr_1-_xY_xMnO_3$ (x = 0.0∼1.0)을 citrate법으로 합성하고 조성에 따른 구조적 전기적 성질의 변화를 알아보았다. X-ray diffraction method에 의해 각 산화물의 구조를 결정한 결과, $Sr_1-_xY_xMnO_3$ (x = 0.0∼1.0) system은 조성에 따라 4L-hexagonal perovskite(x = 0.0∼0.3) 구조, rhombohedral perovskite(x = 0.3∼0.7)구조를 거쳐 hexagonal nonperovskite(x=0.7∼1.0) 구조까지 3가지의 다른 결정구조를 갖는 것으로 관찰되었다. 이러한 $Sr_1-_xY_xMnO_3$ system의 구조 변화는 yttrium 양이 증가함에 따라 cell parameter가 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 이는 $Mn^{4+}$ 대신 $Mn^{3+}$가 증가함에 따른 것으로 믿어진다. $SrMnO_3$의 $Sr^{2+}$ 자리에 $Y^{3+}$를 치환할수록 conductivity가 크게 증가하는 것이 관찰되었다. 4L-hexagonal구조를 갖는 $Sr_{0.9}Y_{0.1}MnO_3$와 pseudocubic perovskite 구조를 갖는 $Sr_{0.5}Y_{0.5}MnO_3$의 온도에 따른 전기저항 측정결과, $Sr_{0.9}Y_{0.1}MnO_3$에서 더 큰 energy gap을 갖는 것으로 관찰되었으며, 이 결과는 4L-hexagonal구조가 metal-metal 결합에 의해 안정화되어 있기 때문인 것으로 설명된다.

Monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a phenomenal two-dimensional material; most of its physical properties rival those of graphene because of their structural similarities. This intriguing material has thus spurred scientists and researchers to develop novel synthetic methods to attain scalability for enabling its practical utilization. When probing the growth behaviors and structural characteristics of h-BN, the use of appropriate characterization techniques is important. In this review, we detail the use of scanning and transmission electron microscopies to investigate the atomic configurations of monolayer and bilayer h-BN grown via chemical vapor deposition. These advanced microscopy techniques have been demonstrated to provide intimate insights to the atomic structures of h-BN, which can be interpreted directly or indirectly using known growth mechanisms and existing theoretical calculations. This review provides a collective understanding of the structural characteristics and defects of synthetic h-BN films and facilitates a better perspective toward the development of new and improved synthesis techniques.

일반적으로 조적조는 석재, 벽돌, 시멘트블록 등의 조적 개체와 모르타르(motar) 등 이종재료로 구성된 적층구조로서, 우리나라뿐만 아니라 전 세계적으로 가장 오래되고 광범위하게 사용되어진 구조재료이다. 그러나 수직하중에 대한 큰 저항능력에 비해 횡력에 매우 취약한 단점을 갖고 있으며, 최근에 발생한 지진피해사례에서도 저층의 조적조 건축물의 피해가 많이 보고되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수평전단력 향상을 위하여 기존 사각형 블록 벽체에서 발생되는 횡방향 통줄눈을 방지하여 횡력에 대한 저항력을 높여줄 수 있는 육각형 형태의 블록을 개발하고, 개발된 블록을 사용한 조적 벽체의 구조실험을 수행하여 거동특성과 전단강도의 증가효과 등을 분석하며, 신축 및 건물 리모델링시에 내진보강용으로 사용할 수 있는 조적조를 제안하고자 하였다. 개발된 중공형 및 솔리드형 블록을 사용하여, 블록의 형상 및 수직 철근 보강량 및 배열위치를 변수로 육각형 블록 벽체의 구조실험을 수행 하였으며, 기존 사각형의 조적조 벽체에 비교하여 상대적으로 연성적인 거동과 전단저항 능력의 향상을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study simulated a control rod assembly (CRA), which is a part of reactor shutdown systems, in immersed and fluid flow conditions. The CRA was inserted into the reactor core within a predetermined time limit under normal and abnormal operating conditions, and the CRA (which consists of complex geometric shapes) drop behavior is numerically modeled for simulation. A full-scale prototype CRA drop test is established under room temperature and water-fluid conditions for verification and validation. This paper describes the details of the numerical modeling and analysis results of the several conditions. Results from the developed numerical simulation code are compared with the test results to verify the numerical model and developed computer code. The developed code is in very good agreement with the test results and this numerical analysis model and method may replace the experimental and CFD method to predict the drop behavior of CRA.

By introducing spin-coating method to the evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) process, a simple and reproducible route in controlling the mesophase of silica thin films has been developed for the first time in this work. When a comparatively solvent-rich Si-sol (The atomic ratio of TEOS : F127 : HCl : $H_2O$ : EtOH = 1 : 0.006 : 0.2 : 9.2 : 30) was used as coating solution, the mesophase of resultant silica films was selectively controlled by adjusting the spin-on speed. The cubic mesophase has been obtained from the coating at a low rpm, such as 600 rpm, while the 2-D hexagonal mesophase is formed at a high rpm, such as 2,500 rpm. At a medium coating speed, a mixture of cubic and hexagonal mesophase has been found in the fabricated films. The present results confirm that the evaporation rate of volatile components at initial step is critical for the determination of mesopore structures during the EISA process.
