나노결정질 다이아몬드(Nanocrystalline Diamond: NCD) 박막은 고경도와 낮은 마찰계수를 가지고 있어 고속도강과 같은 절삭공구 위에 코팅하여 공구의 성능 향상을 도모하고자 하는 노력이 있어 왔다. 그러나 NCD 박막의 잔류응력이 크고, 철계금속에는 NCD가 증착되지 않는다는 문제점이 있다. 잔류응력 완화와 다이아몬드 핵생성을 위하여 제3의 중간층 재료가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 Ti과 W을 중간층으로 하여 고속도강(SKH51)에 NCD 박막을 코팅하고 기계적 특성을 비교하였다. 고속도강 위에 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터를 이용하여 2 ${\mu}m$ 두께의 Ti 또는 W 중간층을 증착하고, 그 위에 Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (MPCVD) 방법으로 NCD 박막을 2 ${\mu}m$ 두께로 코팅 한 것과 Ti, W순으로 각각 1 ${\mu}m$ 두께로 증착 후 그 위에 NCD 박막을 2 ${\mu}m$ 두께로 코팅 한 시편을 비교하였다. 세 가지 종류의 시편에 대하여 FESEM을 이용하여 표면과 단면의 형상을 관찰하였고, XRD와 Raman spectroscopy를 통해 NCD 박막의 결정성을 확인하였다. 그리고 Tribometer를 이용해 코팅된 박막의 내마모성을 비교하였으며 Rockwell C Indentation test를 이용하여 접합력을 비교하였다. 연구 결과 Ti/W 복합중간층 위에 코팅된 NCD의 접합력이 가장 우수하였으며 그 다음 W, Ti 순으로 나타났다. NCD와 고속도강의 큰 열팽창계수 차이가 복합중간층으로 인해 줄어들고 잔류응력이 완화되어 접합력이 향상되는 것으로 여겨진다.

The inverse Compton scattering of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation with electrons in the intracluster medium which has a temperature gradient, was examined by the third-order perturbation theory of the Compton scattering. A new type of the spectrum distortion of the CMB was found and named as gradient T Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (gradT SZE). The spectrum has an universal shape. There is a zero distortion point, the cross over frequency, at 326GHz. When the hotter region locates closer to an observer, the intensity becomes brighter than the CMB in the frequency region lower than the cross over frequency and fainter than the CMB in the frequency region higher than the cross over frequency. When the cooler region locates closer to an observer, the distorted part of the spectrum has an opposite sign to the above case. The amplitude of the spectrum distortion does not de-pend on the electron density and depends on the heat conductivity and the total temperature variation along a line of sight. Therefore, the gradT SZE provides an unique opportunity to measure thermally nonequilibrium electron momentum distribution function in the ICM and combined with the X-ray measurements of the electron temperature distribution provides an opportunity of direct measurement of the heat conductivity in the ICM.

Diamond film was deposited on Si substrate by using microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD) system. After thinning the cross section between diamond film and Si substrate by ion milling method, we investigated its interface via transmission electron microscopy We could observe that the diamond film was grown either directly on Si substrate or via the interlayer between diamond film and Si substrate. Thickness of the interlayer was varied along the cross section. The interlayer might mainly composed of Sic andlor amorphous carbon. We could observe the well-developed electron diffraction pattern of both Si and diamond around the interface. Based on this result, we can conjecture the initial growth behavior of diamond film on Si substrate.

To better understand the physics underlying the eruption of prominences in solar active regions, we studied eruption processes of two active prominences located in the active region NOAA 11261 using multi-wavelength observational data with high temporal and spatial resolution. Specifically, we examined (1) the temporal variation of morphology and plasma properties of the two active prominences, (2) magnetic fields and their evolution on the photospheric surface underneath the prominences, and (3) the time profiles and locations of radio, EUV, and soft/hard X-ray emissions produced by the M9.3 flare related to the prominence eruption. As a result, we found that: (1) a prominence F1 began to erupt and expand as the abrupt and intense EUV brightening occurred in the localized region underneath the western part of F1 at 03:45 UT prior to the peak time of the M9.3 flare, (2) F1 split into two parts: i.e., the western part asymmetrically erupted by producing the M9.3 flare with microwave source motions along the magnetic polarity inversion line between the two flare ribbons, while the eastern part coalesced into a pre-existing prominence F2, (3) F2 became unstable due to the coalescence with the eastern part of F1, and then it partially erupted with clockwise untwisting motions.

보론이 도핑된 $3{\times}3cm$ 크기의 p 형 다결정 실리콘 기판의 표면을 경면연마한 후, 다이아몬드 입자의 seeding을 위해 슬러리 중 다이아몬드 분말의 입도를 5 nm로 고정하고 초음파 전처리 공정을 진행한 후, 다이아몬드 박막을 증착하였다. 다이아몬드 증착은 Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition 장비를 이용하였으며, 공정 조건은 초기 진공 $10{\times}10^{-3}Torr$, 공정 가스 비율 $Ar:CH_4=200:2$, 가스 유량 202 sccm, 공정압력 90 Torr, 마이크로웨이브 파워 600 W, 기판 온도 $600^{\circ}C$이었다. 기판에 DC bias 전압을 인가하는 것을 공정 변수로 하여 0, -50, -100, -150, -200 V로 변화시켜가며, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 h 동안 증착을 진행하였다. 주사전자현미경과 XRD, AFM, 접촉각 측정 장비를 이용하여 증착된 다이아몬드 입자와 막의 특성을 분석하였다. 각 bias 조건에서 초기에는 다이아몬드 입자가 형성되어 성장되었다가 시간이 증가될수록 연속적인 다이아몬드 막이 형성되었다. Table 1은 각 bias 조건에서 증착 시간을 4 h까지 변화시키면서 얻은 다이아몬드 입자 또는 박막의 높이(두께)를 나타낸 것이다. 2 h까지의 공정 초기에는 bias 조건의 영향을 파악하기 어려운데, 이는 bias에 의한 과도한 이온포격으로 입자가 박막으로의 성장에 저해를 받는 것으로 사료된다. 증착시간이 4 h가 경과하면서 -150 V 조건에서 가장 두꺼운 막이 성장되었다. 이는 기판 표면을 덮은 다이아몬드 박막 위에서 이차 핵생성이 bias에 의해 촉진되기 때문으로 해석된다. -200 V의 조건에서는 오히려 막의 성장이 더 느렸는데, 이는 Fig. 1에 보이듯이 과도한 이온포격으로 Si/diamond 계면에서 기공이 형성된 것과 연관이 있는 것으로 보인다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the heavy metal pollution of playgrounds of elementary schools in the Ulsan Metropolitan City. Soil pollution is one of the most dangerous problems of the utmost concern to both children and teachers. The result of this study would be an educational datum for improving children's health and establishing educational policy. Methods: For the analysis, fifteen representative schools were selected from five sample areas such as Dong-gu, Nam-gu, Jung-gu, Buk-gu and Ulju-gun of the Ulsan city. And from each school playground, soil was extracted from five spots and mingled into one sample. These fifteen samples were pretreated by the microwave extraction method, and the extracted heavy metals(As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Cr⁶⁺, Zn and Hg) were quantified by the ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma) system. Results: The results of the analysis shows that the level of heavy metal pollution of elementary school playgrounds in Ulsan city did not exceed the permitted limit of each heavy metal. This means that the soil pollution of playgrounds in the Ulsan Metropolitan City is not so serious as it is expected. But it should be added that the soil is not too safe to be ignored.

In this research we report the significant contribution of the as-spun multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on the x-ray images formation using a low tube voltage x-ray source. The MWCNT, which was used for the fabrication of the spun CNT, was grown using a microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition machine. Electrical-optics simulation software was utilized to determine the electron field emission trajectory of the triode-structure-as-spun CNT-based x-ray source. It was shown that a significant amount of converging electrons hit the target anode producing a clear x-ray image. These x-ray images where produced at a small amount of anode current of 0.67 mA at a tube voltage of 5 kV with the gate voltage of 0 V. Also, comparisons of the radiographs at various exposure times of the sample where analyzed with and without an x-ray dose filter. Results showed that spatially-resolved images were formed using the as-spun CNT at a low tube voltage with a $54-{\mu}m$ Al x-ray filter. This study can be used for low-voltage medical applications.

The behaviors of diamond deposition using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition method have been studied by varying the concentration of methane in the methane - hydrogen gas mixture. The carbonization is checked from peak intensities of D($sp^3$) and G($sp^2$) peaks in Raman spectra. The hydronization and C-H bonding status in films can also be determined from FTIR results. Both the bonding strength of C-H and the ratio of $sp^3$ to $sp^2$ in bonding are found to be slightly dependent of partial pressure of $CH_4$ Judging from above results, we can conclude that the best value for partial pressure of $CH_4$ in growing process of thick films is about 13.8%.
