우수한 내식성을 나타내는 Zn-Mg 합금을 강판의 표면처리에 적용하기 위하여 비대칭 마그네트론 스퍼터링을 이용하여 Zn-Mg 박막을 합성하였다. Zn-Mg 박막의 미세조직은 박막 내에 Mg 함량이 증가 할수록 치밀해지며, 합성 중의 온도가 높아지면 박막은 치밀도가 낮아진다. 이렇게 변화하는 Zn-Mg 박막의 미세조직은 박막의 밀착성 및 내식성에 큰 영향을 미치며 미세조직이 치밀할수록 Zn-Mg 박막의 내식성은 증가하나 밀착성은 감소하는 경향성을 나타냈다.

PDP용 녹색 $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn 형광체의 발광특성과 결정성을 향상시키기 위해 co-dopant로 Mg를 첨가한 $(Zn_{1-x}Mg_x)_2SiO_4$:Mn 형광체를 합성하였다. 합성된 형광체의 발광특성을 PL로 조사한 결과, $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn 형광체는 Mg의 농도에 관계없이 530nm에서 녹색 발광을 하였고, Mg의 농도가 0.5 mol%일 때 가장 높은 발광세기가 나타났다. 이것은 Zn과 이온반경이 비슷한 Mg가 치환되어 모체에서의 Mn으로의 에너지 전이가 증가하여 발광세기가 증가한 것으로 생각된다.

The effect of alloy composition on the glass forming ability (GFA) of the Ca-rich Ca-Mg-Zn alloys has been investigated in $Ca_{65}Mg_{5+x}Zn_{30-x}$ and $Ca_{55+x}Mg_{15}Zn_{30-x}$ (x=0, 5, 10, 15, 20) alloys. In a wide composition range of 15-25% Zn and 10-20% Mg bulk metallic glass (BMG) samples with the diameter larger than 6 mm are fabricated by conventional copper mold casting method in air atmosphere. Among the alloys investigated, the $Ca_{65}Mg_{15}Zn_{20}$ alloy exhibits the highest GFA enabling to form BMG sample with the diameter of at least 15 mm. The crystalline phase formed during solidification of $Ca_{65}Mg_{15}Zn_{20}$ ($D_{max}=15\;mm$) could be identified as a mixture of $Ca_3Zn$ and $CaMg_2$ cause by the redistribution of the constituent elements on long-range scale. The compressive fracture strength and fracture elongation of the $Ca_{65}Mg_{15}Zn_{20}$ BMG are 602 MPa and 2.08% respectively. The ${\sigma}$ parameter which has been recently proposed for evaluating GFA exhibits better correlation with GFA of Ca-Mg-Zn alloys than other parameters suggested so far such as ${\Delta}T_x$, $T_{rg}$, K, ${\gamma}$, and ${\Delta}T^*$ parameters.

Concern for the TOS (Transparent Oxide Semiconductor) is increasing with the recent increase in interest for flexible device. Especially MgZnO has attracted a lot of attention. $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$, which ZnO-based wideband-gap alloys is tuneable the band-gap ranges from 3.36 eV to 7.8 eV. In particular, the flexible substrate, the crystal structure of the amorphous as well as the surface morphology is not good. So research of MgZnO thin films growth on flexible substrate is essential. Therefore, in this study, we studied on the effects of the oxygen partial pressure on the structural and crystalline of $Mg_{0.1}Zn_{0.9}O$ thin films. MgZnO thin films were deposited on PES substrate by using pulsed laser deposition. We used XRD and AFM in order to observe the structural characteristics of MgZnO thin films. UV-visible spectrophotometer was used to get the band gap and transmittance. Crystallization was done at a low oxygen partial pressure. The crystallinity of MgZnO thin films with increasing temperature was improved, Grain size and RMS of the films were increased. MgZnO thin films showed high transmittance over 80% in the visible region.

The magnesium fluoride ($MgF_2$) has very higher optical transmission than oxide or nitride material applied for gas barrier, so we manufactured Mg-Zn-F films with Mg-Zn-F target mixed in the various ratio of $MgF_2$ to Zn and characterized films' properties. Zn is used to increase packing density of barrier film. Thickness and optical transmission of Mg-Zn-F are 200 nm and over 90 %, respectively. The result of water vapor transmission rate at 38, RH 90 ~ 100% of the Mg-Zn-F film deposited with 4 : 6 ($MgF_2$ : Zn) ratio target reached below $1{\times}10^{-3}g$/($m^2{\cdot}day$), measuring limit of instrument.

Damping capacities of Mg-2.5%Al and Mg-2.5%Zn (in atomic) solid solutions were comparatively investigated in order to clarify the influence of solutionized Al and Zn elements on the damping characteristics of Mg. In this study, solid solutions with similar grain size were obtained by solution treatment at 678 K for different times (24 h for Mg-2.5%Al and 36 h for Mg-2.5%Zn), followed by water quenching at RT. The Mg-2.5%Al and Mg-2.5%Zn solid solutions showed similar damping capacities in the strain-amplitude independent region of 1 × 10^-6 ~ 1 × 10^-5 and in the strain-amplitude dependent region below 6 × 10^-4, over which the Mg-2.5%Zn solid solution possessed better damping capacity than the Mg-2.5%Al solid solution. The damping tendencies depending on strain-amplitude for the two solid solutions were analyzed and discussed in terms of similar length between weak pinning points (solutes) and different solute/dislocation interaction forces in Granato-Lücke model.

Brush-like ZnO hierarchical nanostructures decorated with MgxZn1-xO (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5) were fabricated and examined for application to a gas sensor. They were synthesized using vapor phase growth (VPG) on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates. To generate electronic accumulation at ZnO surface, MgZnO nanoparticles were prepared by sol-gel method, and the ratio of Mg and Zn was adjusted to optimize the device for NO₂ gas detection. As the electrons in the accumulation layer generated by the heterojunction reacted faster and more frequently with the gas, the sensitivity and speed improved. When tested as sensing materials for gas sensors at 100 ppm NO₂ at 300℃, these MgZnO decorated ZnO nanostructures exhibited an improvement from 165 to 514 times compared to pristine ZnO. The response and recovery time of the MgZnO decorated ZnO samples were shorter than those of the pristine ZnO. Various analyzing techniques, including field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were employed to confirm the growth morphology, atomic composition, and crystalline information of the samples, respectively.

The high-temperature stability of Mg-8.0Zn-1.6Y (wt.%) alloys upon the addition of Ca has been investigated by characterizing the ignition temperature, microstructure, tensile and creep properties. The ignition temperature increases with an increase in the Ca content, indicating that an addition of Ca enhances the ignition resistance of the Mg-Zn-Y alloy. The as-cast microstructures of all tested alloys mainly consisted of the dendritic α-Mg matrix and I-phase (Mg₃Zn₆Y) at the grain boundaries. In the Ca-added Mg-8.0Zn-1.6Y alloys, the Ca₂Mg₆Zn₃ phase forms, with this phase fraction increasing with an increase in the Ca contents. However, a high volume fraction of the Ca₂Mg₆Zn₃ phase rather deteriorates the mechanical properties. Therefore, a moderate amount of Ca element in Mg-8.0Zn-1.6Y alloys is effective for improving the tensile and creep properties of the Mg-Zn-Y alloy. The Mg-8.0Zn-1.6Y-0.3Ca alloy exhibits the highest tensile strength and the lowest creep strain among the alloys investigated in the present study. The creep resistance of Mg-Zn-Y-Ca alloys depends on the selection of the secondary solidification phase; i.e., when Ca₂Mg₆Zn₃ forms in an alloy containing a high level of Ca, the creep resistance deteriorates because Ca₂Mg₆Zn₃ is less stable than the I-phase at a high temperature.

Influence of trace amount of Ca addition on the corrosion resistance was comparatively investigated in solutionized Mg-4%Zn and Mg-4%Zn-0.1%Ca alloys. In as-cast state, the alloys were characterized by primary ${\alpha}-(Mg)$ dendrite with MgZn intermetallic compound particles. After solution-treatment, both alloys consisted of single ${\alpha}-(Mg)$ phase by dissolution of the compound particles into the matrix. It was found from the immersion and electrochemical corrosion tests that the Mg-4%Zn alloy had better corrosion resistance than the Mg-4%Zn-0.1%Ca alloy. Morphological and compositional analyses on the surface corrosion products indicate that the incorporation of Ca oxide with low PBR value into the surface corrosion products would be responsible for the decreased corrosion resistance of the Ca-containing alloy.

[ $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ ] thin films on (001) sapphire substrates have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The substrate temperature has been varied from $200^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$ in order to control Mg content in $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin film. $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films deposited at 200, 400 and $600^{\circ}C$ were annealed at temperatures of $800^{\circ}C$. The ratio of Mg was mesured by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. The optical properties of $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films were characterized by photomulinesence. The ratio of Mg was varied depending on the deposition temperatures which resulted in the change of energy bandgap.
