수도권의 수해 피해를 막고 경제 성장에 기여해온 소양호는 2015년 가뭄 등으로 중상류의 수위가 크게 감소했다. 기존의 유량을 회복하기 위하여 인제군 신남면 부평리에 설치된 부평보는 부평지구 담수 지역의 퇴적환경에 인공적인 변화를 야기했다. 이에 본 연구에서는 부평보 건설 이후의 퇴적환경의 변화를 확인해보고자 하였다. 이 연구를 위하여 Sentinel-2 위성 영상 자료를 활용하여 부평지구 인근의 저수량에 따른 물의 면적을 시기별로 관측하였으며 현장 조사를 통하여 퇴적물의 입도와 함수율을 분석하였다. Sentnel-2 위성 영상을 이용하여 2017년 9월부터 2018년 10월까지 수계면적 변화는 2018년 6월에 촬영된 영상의 수계면적이 최소면적을 나타냈으며, 반대로 2018년 1월에 촬영된 영상이 최대 면적으로 측정되었다. 또한 함수율과 입도 분석결과, 입자 크기가 작을수록 높은 함수율로 측정된 결과로 미루어 보아 퇴적층의 입자사이즈와 수분 함량의 상관관계가 높음을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 부평지구 담수 지역의 드론에 의한 촬영을 진행한다면 다른 두 시기에 따른 동일 지역의 퇴적물의 분포 변화를 측정할 수 있으며, 현장 조사를 통하여 다양한 퇴적물의 종류도 관측할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Nanotechnology mostly employs nano-materials and nano-structures with distinctive properties based on their size, structure, and composition. It is quite difficult to produce nano-materials and nano-structures with identical sizes, structures, and compositions in large quantities, because of spatiotemporal fluctuation of production processes. In other words, fluctuation is the bottleneck in nanotechnology. We propose three strategies to suppress such fluctuations: employing 1) difference between linear and nonlinear phenomena, 2) difference in time constants, and 3) nucleation as a bottleneck phenomenon. We are also developing nano- and micro-scale guided assembly using plasmas as a plasma nanofabrication.1-5) We manipulate nano- and micro-objects using electrostatic, electromagnetic, ion drag, neutral drag, and optical forces. The accuracy of positioning the objects depends on fluctuation of position and energy of an object in plasmas. Here we evaluate such fluctuations and discuss the mechanism behind them. We conducted in-situ evaluation of local plasma potential fluctuation using tracking analysis of fine particles (=objects) in plasmas. Experiments were carried out with a radio frequency low-pressure plasma reactor, where we set two quartz windows at the top and bottom of the reactor. Ar plasmas were generated at 200 Pa by applying 13.56MHz, 450V peak-to-peak voltage. The injected fine particles were monodisperse methyl methacrylate-polymer spheres of $10{\mu}m$ in diameter. Fine particles were injected into the reactor and were suspended around the plasma/sheath boundary near the powered electrode. We observed binary collision of fine particles with a high-speed camera. The frame rate was 1000-10000 fps. Time evolution of their distance from the center of mass was measured by tracking analysis of the two particles. Kinetic energy during the collision was obtained from the result. Potential energy formed between the two particles was deduced by assuming the potential energy plus the kinetic energy is constant. The interaction potential is fluctuated during the collision. Maximum amplitude of the fluctuation is 25eV, and the average is 8eV. The fluctuation can be caused by neutral molecule collisions, ion collisions, and fluctuation of electrostatic force. Among theses possible causes, fluctuation of electrostatic force may be main one, because the fine particle has a large negative charge of -17000e and the corresponding electrostatic force is large compared to other forces.

The most common technique to fabricate $MgB_2$ superconducting wire is by powder-in-tube (PIT) technique. Therefore, the starting powder for the processing of $MgB_2$ superconductors is an important factor influencing the superconducting properties and performance of the conductors. In this study, the influence of magnesium precursor powders and annealing temperatures on the transition temperatures ($T_c$) and critical current densities ($J_c$) of $MgB_2/Fe$ wires was investigated. All the $MgB_2/Fe$ wires were fabricated by in situ PIT process. It was found that higher $J_c$ was obtained for $MgB_2$ wires with smaller particle size of magnesium precursor powders. The $J_c$ also increases with decreasing annealing temperatures.

A new cathode material based on Li$Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ (LNCA)/polyaniline (Pani) composite was prepared by in situ self-stabilized dispersion polymerization in the presence of LNCA. The materials were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical properties including galvanostatic charge-discharge ability, cyclic voltammetry (CV), capacity, cycling performance, and AC impedance were measured. The synthesized LNCA/Pani had a similar particle size to LNCA and exhibited good electrochemical properties at a high C rate. Pani (the emeraldine salt form) interacts with metal-oxide particles to generate good connectivity. This material shows good reversibility for Li insertion in discharge cycles when used as the electrode of lithium ion batteries. Therefore, the Pani coating is beneficial for stabilizing the structure and reducing the resistance of the LNCA. In particular, the LNCA/Pani material has advantageous electrochemical properties.

Asteroids have undergone various processes such as impacts, space weathering, and thermal evolution. Because they expose their surfaces to space without atmosphere, these evolutional processes have been recorded directly on their surfaces. The remote-sensing observations have been conducted to reveal these evolutional histories of the target asteroids. For example, crater and boulder distributions are unambiguous evidence for past nondestructive impacts with other celestial bodies. Multiband and spectroscopic observations have revealed space-weathering history (as well as compositions). Whereas most physical quantities have been examined intensively using spacecraft and telescopes, only a little has been studied on "the grain size". It is one of the fundamental physical quantities for diagnosing the collisional and thermal history of asteroids. Our group has conducted polarimetric research of asteroids (as well as Moon [1]) to determine the particle size and further investigate the evolutional histories of target asteroids [2],[3]. For example, the existence of regolith on an S-type asteroid, Toutatis, was suggested almost twenty years before space exploration [4]. Moreover, we reported that near-Sun asteroids indicate a signature of submillimeter grains, which could be created by a thermal sintering process by solar radiation [5]. However, it is important to note that in-situ polarimetry has not been reported on the asteroid surface, although the Korean Lunar Exploration Program aims to do polarimetry on the lunar surface [6]. Therefore, it is expected that the polarizer mounted on the Korean Apophis spacecraft can make the first estimate of the grain size and its regional variation over the Apophis surface. In this presentation, we outline research of S-type asteroid surfaces through remote-sensing observations and consider the role of polarimetry. Based on this review, we consider the purpose, potentiality, and strategy of the polarimetry using the onboard device for the Apophis spacecraft. We will report a possible polarization phase curve of Apophis estimated from ordinary chondrites and past observational data of S-type asteroids, taking account of the space weathering effect. Based on this estimation, we will consider the strategy of how to determine the particle size (and space weathering degree) of the Apophis surface. We will also mention the detectability of dust hovering on the surface.

Fe-TiC composite powder was fabricated via two steps. The first step was a high-energy milling of FeO and carbon powders followed by heat treatment for reduction to obtain a (Fe+C) powder mixture. The optimal condition for high-energy milling was 500 rpm for 1h, which had been determined by a series of preliminary experiment. Reduction heat-treatment was carried out at $900^{\circ}C$ for 1h in flowing argon gas atmosphere. Reduced powder mixture was investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and Laser Particle Size Analyser (LPSA). The second step was a high-energy milling of (Fe+C) powder mixture and additional $TiH_2$ powder, and subsequent in-situ synthesis of TiC particulate in Fe matrix through a reaction of carbon and Ti. High-energy milling was carried out at 500 rpm for 1 h. Heat treatment for reaction synthesis was carried out at $1000{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in flowing argon gas atmosphere. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results of the fabricated Fe-TiC composite powder showed that only TiC and Fe phases exist. Results from FE-SEM observation and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectros-copy (EDS) revealed that TiC phase exists uniformly dispersed in the Fe matrix in a form of particulate with a size of submicron.

정수처리공정 중 응집공정의 효율을 평가하기 위하여 Floc Size 분포를 분석하여 응집공정의 효율 평가를 수행하였다. 응집 효율은 탁도를 기준으로 평가하는 방법보다 응집 상태를 직접 평가하는 Floc의 크기 및 개수를 분석하여 정량화하는 기법을 제시하였다. 원수의 탁도 분포에 따른 Floc의 성장 상태를 분석하였다. 응집지에서 원수 탁도가 5.0 NTU 내외로 유입되었을 경우 응집지 각 단의 G값이 각각 50 sec-1,, 30 sec-1, 10 sec-1일 때 효율이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 원수 탁도가 263 NTU로 유입되었을 경우 G값을 각각 65 sec-1, 40 sec-1, 10 sec-1으로 운전한 경우 효율이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 이때 $1200{\mu}m$ 이상의 Floc 개수는 약 14개로 분석되었다. G값에 따라 응집효율을 평가할 수 있는 지표인자로 Floc의 크기 및 개수로 공정 진단 수행이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

한반도 남서부 해남 어란지역 사면에는 현재의 유수작용이나 암석낙하와 같은 직접적인 중력작용만으로 형성되기 어려운 조립질과 세립질이 교호하는 사면퇴적물이 존재한다. 이런 사면은 현생 혹은 과거 주빙하 환경에서 자주 관찰되는 성층사면(stratified slope)으로 흔히 그레즈-리테와 stratified scree로 불려지는 것들이다. 본 사면에 대해서 지형학적 및 퇴적학적 특성의 분석과 기존 연구결과를 통해서 사면의 형성의 프로세스를 추정하였다. 특히 (1) 배후산지의 기반암은 Franco(1990)가 지적한 동결 수용성이 민감한 암석의 특성으로 동결파쇄(congelifraction)되어 다량의 암설과 미립질을 공급할 수 있었다. (2) 사면의 직선적 평활성과 암설의 크기와 량이 사면아래 방향으로 갈수록 줄어드는 것은 중력작용을 유도하는 주빙하 환경에서 가능한 이동 메카니즘을 갖고 있다. (3) 조립질과 세립질의 교호는 현생 및 과거 주빙하 환경에서 잘 나타나는 stratified slope이다. 이상에서 연구지역의 사면퇴적물은 현재의 기후환경이 아닌 과거 플라이스토신의 한랭 습윤한 주빙하성 기후환경의 산물로 볼 수 있는 성층사면으로 주빙하 기후환경의 화석지형이다. 그 외 당시의 해수면 변동과 관련된 해안단구, 고사구 지형 등이 함께 나타나고 있어 한반도 남서부의 제4기 고기후 지형환경의 이해에 좋은 예가 되고 있어 더 많은 연구가 요구되고 있다.

For the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ammonia (NH₃-SCR), a V₂O₅WO₃/TiO₂ (VW/nTi) catalyst was prepared using V₂O₅ and WO₃ on a nanodispersed TiO₂ (nTi) support by simple impregnation process. The nTi support was dispersed for 0~3 hrs under controlled bead-milling in ethanol. The average particle size (D₅₀) of nTi was reduced from 582 nm to 93 nm depending on the milling time. The NOx activity of these catalysts with maximum temperature shift was influenced by the dispersion of the TiO₂. For the V_0.5W₂/nTi-0h catalyst, prepared with 582 nm nTi-0h before milling, the decomposition temperature with over 94 % NOx conversion had a narrow temperature window, within the range of 365-391 ℃. Similarly, the V_0.5W₂/nTi-2h catalyst, prepared with 107 nm nTi-2h bead-milled for 2hrs, showed a broad temperature window in the range of 358~450 ℃. However, the V_0.5W₂/Ti catalyst (D₅₀ = 2.4 ㎛, aqueous, without milling) was observed at 325-385 ℃. Our results could pave the way for the production of effective NOx decomposition catalysts with a higher temperature range. This approach is also better at facilitating the dispersion on the support material. NH₃-TPD, H₂-TPR, FT-IR, and XPS were used to investigate the role of nTi in the DeNOx catalyst.
