In oxides characterized by the $K_2NiF_4-type$ structure, the low-spin${\to}$high-spin transition of trivalent cobalt ion was studied in function of the nature of competing bonds in the perovskite-plane and along the c-axis. Using Slichter and Drickamer's model the calculated values of parameters characterizing such a transition are correlated with the covalency of competing bonds along the c-axis of the $K_2NiF_4$-structure and the local structural distortion of the $(CoO_6)$ octahedron.

We analyze the transverse nuclear magnetizations of 129Xe and 131Xe in a vapor cell containing natural Xe, 87Rb, and buffer gases. Th e Xe atoms are polarized th rough spin-exch ange optical pumping (SEOP) with Rb atoms under low-magnetic-field conditions. From the free-induction-decay (FID) signal, we measure the nuclear magnetization of the Xe atoms in the Xe-Rb vapor cell. Furthermore, we measure the dependence of the gyromagnetic ratio on the magnetization of 129Xe and 131Xe by examining the amplitude of the FID signal of each isotope, and we evaluate the relationship between the magnetic field gradient and transverse relaxation rate for both of the 129Xe and 131Xe isotopes.

Thisstudy demonstratessoil moisture and evapotranspiration performance using Korea Land Data Assimilation System (KLDAS) under Korea Land Information System (KLIS). Spin-up was repeated 8 times in 2018. In addition, low-resolution and high-resolution meteorological data were generated using meteorological data observed by Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), Rural Development Administration (RDA), Korea Rural Community Corporation (KRC), Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co.,Ltd. (KHNP), Korea Water Resources Corporation (K-water), and Ministry of Environment (ME), and applied to KLDAS. And, to confirm the degree of accuracy improvement of Korea Low spatial resolution (hereafter, K-Low; 0.125°) and Korea High spatial resolution (hereafter, K-High; 0.01°), soil moisture and evapotranspiration to which Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, version 2 (MERRA-2) and ASOS-Spatial (ASOS-S) used in the previous study were applied were evaluated together. As a result, optimization of the initial boundary condition requires 2 time (58 point), 3 time (6 point), and 6 time (3 point) spin-up for soil moisture. In the case of evapotranspiration, 1 time (58 point) and 2 time (58 point) spin-ups are required. In the case of soil moisture to which MERRA-2, ASOS-S, K-Low, and K-High were applied, the mean of R² were 0.615, 0.601, 0.594, and 0.664, respectively, and in the case of evapotranspiration, the mean of R² were 0.531, 0.495, 0.656, and 0.677, respectively, indicating the accuracy of K-High was rated as the highest. The accuracy of KLDAS can be improved by securing a large number of ground observation data through the results of this study and generating high-resolution grid-type meteorological data. However, if the meteorological condition at each point is not sufficiently taken into account when converting the point data into a grid, the accuracy is rather lowered. For a further study, it is expected that higher quality data can be produced by generating and applying grid-type meteorological data using the parameter setting of IDW or other interpolation techniques.

Carbon nanofilaments were deposited on silicon oxide substrate by thermal chemical vapor deposition method. We used $Fe(CO)_5$ as the catalyst for the carbon nanofilaments formation. Around $800^{\circ}C$ substrate temperature, the formation density of carbon nanofilaments could be enhanced by the vacuum sublimation technique of $Fe(CO)_5$, compared with the conventional spin coating technique. Finally, we could achieve the low temperature, as low as $350^{\circ}C$, formation of carbon nanofilaments using the sublimated Fe-complex nanograins with thermal chemical vapor deposition. Detailed morphologies and characteristics of the carbon nanofilaments were investigated. Based on these results, the role of the vacuum sublimation technique for the low temperature deposition of carbon nanofilaments was discussed.

Molecular relaxation behaviors of crystalline glucose anhydrous, crystalline glucose monohydrate, and amorphous glucose with different particle sizes were observed by measuring spin-spin relaxation time constant $(T_2)$ at the temperature range of $-20\;to\;110^{\circ}C$ using temperature-controlled low field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. No change in $T_2$ values of crystalline glucose anhydrous was observed throughout the temperature range, whereas $T_2$ values of crystalline glucose monohydrate and amorphous glucose increased from around $45\;and\;65^{\circ}C$, respectively. These results indicate that molecular mobility of crystalline glucose anhydrous does not change even at temperature higher than $100^{\circ}C$ and that the stability of powdered glucose could be improved by increasing the particle size of materials.

We authors developed a new small-size birdcage RF coil for animal MR images. And we compared signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the new small coil with a conventional knee coil. The dimension of the low-pass type birdcage coil with 12 elements at 37 MRI system are 13 cm outer diameter, 12 cm inner diameter and 20 cm length. For each element, the width of copper tape is 0.05 mm, thickness is 8 mm and length is 20 cm. The small birdcage coil with 12 elements exhibited 7 resonance modes. The isolation of the quadrature channel could be achieved more than 20 ㏈. The coil quality factor (Q value) was 98.6. The SNR of the animal coil was 243.2 on the average and was about twice as high as the conventional knee coil. The present study successfully demonstrated that the small birdcage coil could provide high quality animal MR images with the improved SNR. Therefore, it is expected that the small birdcage coil could be used in the clinical diagnosis and research studies for veterinary medicine in the near future.

The effects of convection on the measurement of the diffusion coefficients of liquids by the pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) NMR method at low temperature are discussed. To examine the generation of convective flows, we used four different types of sample tubes in the diffusion measurements with temperature variation; a normal 5 mm NMR tube, a Shigemi tube, an ELISE type tube, and a capillary tube. Below room temperature, the calculated diffusion coefficients of chloroform in 5 mm o.d. type tubes increased with decreasing temperature, while those in the capillary tube decreased linearly. The convective flow was found to be significant even at low temperature and it seemed to be mainly induced by the transverse temperature gradient. It was also found that the capillary tube was most appropriate to measure the diffusion coefficients, since its small diameter is effective in suppressing the convective flows at both high and low temperatures.

In the developed NMR hyperpolarization techniques, Parahydrogen-Induced Polarization (PHIP) technique is widely utilized to overcome the low sensitivity of the NMR/MRI. Parahydrogen generator is essential to produce high spin order of parahydrogen molecule. Commercial parahydrogen generator is well developed with user-friendly systems. However, it has drawbacks of long preparation time (~ 2h including cooling down time of 1h) and high cost (~ 200 million won) for the commercial setup. We designed a simple and portable parahydrogen generating system with low cost (~ 2 million won), which produce polarization in less than 1 min. With the designed parahydrogen generator, we successfully performed the PHIP with Wilkinson's catalyst on styrene. This study will broaden the parahydrogen based polarization transfer study on many researchers by providing the simple portable and low cost parahydrogen generator.

Self-cleaning and photocatalytic $TiO_2$ thin films were prepared by a facile sol-gel method followed by spin coating using peroxo titanic acid as a precursor. The as-prepared thin films were heated at low temperature($110^{\circ}C$) and high temperature ($400^{\circ}C$). Thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), Field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM), UV-Visible spectroscopy and water contact angle measurement. XRD analysis confirms the low crystallinity of thin films prepared at low temperature, while crystalline anatase phase was found the for high temperature thin film. The photocatalytic activity of thin films was studied by the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye solution. Self-cleaning and photocatalytic performance of both low and high temperature thin films were compared.

In this paper, a miniaturized ring hybrid circuit is characterized based on a thin film microstrip (TFMS) on low-resistivity silicon. In order to obtain low-loss characteristics, a polyimide layer with 50 $\mu$m thickness is spin-coated onto the silicon to be used for the substrate. First, propagation characteristics of TFMS lines consisting of the ring hybrid circuit are presented. Then, a ring hybrid circuit based on TFMS is featured by employing the triple concentric circle approach for miniaturization. Triple concentric circle lines with $\lambda$$_{g}$/4 or 3$\lambda$$_{g}$/4 line lengths are implemented on the surface of the polyimide by circularly meandering to reduce the circuit size of the designed ring hybrid. Good agreement between measured and simulated results is obtained.
