Nanophase titania film was obtained by plasma spraying. The structure of titania film was investigated with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found taht the film was composed of grains with mean particle size of 15nm. The crystal structure of nanophase titania film was found to be anatase phase by electron diffraction.

A radically new approach to the in situ synthesis of the consituent phases of a composite structure has enabled the production of a new WC/Co materials with an ultrafine microstructure. The process for synthesizing nanophase WC/Co powders consists of spray drying from solution to form a homogeneous precursor powder, and thermochemical conversion of the precursor powder to the nanophase WC/Co powder. Near theoretical density of pure nanophase WC-10 wt%Co has been obtained in only 30 sec at 140$0^{\circ}C$. But WC particles were grown up very rapidly with longer sintering time to get full density. To overcome coarsening of WC particle during sintering, VC, TaC and VC/TaC were used as the grain growth inhibitor with different amount respectively. VC/TaC doped WC-10 wt%Co was shown superior hardness and TRS and microstructure was maintained ultrafine scale (average WC size is less than 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$).

본 연구에서는 Al과 $UO_2$의 나노미터 크기의 무기물 입자를 합성하기 위하여 생체 시스템인 철단백질 ferritin을 이용하였다. Ferritin에서 합성된 Al과 $UO_2$의 무기물 입자를 TEM을 이용하여 관찰한 결과, 단백질 내부에 나노미터 크기의 구형인 미네랄(mineral) core를 확인하였다. 그 입자들에 대한 EDXA분석 결과 각각 Al과 $UO_2$로 구성된 미네랄임을 확인하였다. Ferritin을 이용하여 합성된 Al core는 이번 연구에서 처음으로 전자현미경으로 관찰되었다. 그리고 두 종류의 다른 금속 즉, Al/Fe및 $UO_2/Al$의 존재하에 ferritin core를 합성하여 TTM을 관찰한 결과, 역시 나노미터 크기의 구형인 전자밀도 core를 관찰하였고 EDXA분석 결과 구형인 core가 합성시킨 두 금속 원소의 미네랄로 구성되어 있음을 증명하였다. 그리하여 본 연구는 철단백질을 이용하여 철이 아닌 Al과 $UO_2$로 구성된 나노미터 크기의 무기물 입자를 합성할 수 있음을 증명하였다.

마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법에 의하여 Nanophase 촉매층을 형성하여 Direct Methanol Fuel Cell(DMFC)에 적용하였다. 일반적인 박막 증착 방법보다 높은 압력 (Ar/He혼합기체)에서 금속 Target과 탄소 Target을 동시에 스퍼터링하여 내피온막 위에 직접 코팅함으로써 기공성 있는 PtRu혹은 Pt및 탄소입자를 포함한 새로운 구조의 촉매층을 형성하였다. 본 방법에 의하여 $1.5mg/cm^2$의 PtRu(Anode) 및 $1mg/cm^2$ Pt(Cathode) 로딩으로 2M Methanol, 1 Bar공기, $80^{\circ}C$조건에서 $45mW/cm^2$의 출력을 얻을 수 있었으며, 이는 기존의 상용방법에 의하여 제조된 전극보다 같은 조건에서 $30\%$의 성능향상을 제시한 것이다. 이는 Nanophase촉매층 구조로 인하여 초미세 분말을 적용하였고, 많은 량의 원자들이 입계에 배열하게 됨으로써 촉매반응을 원활하게 하고,연료의 공급을 효율적으로 해준 것에 기안한 것으로 판단된다. 그러므로, 본 연구의 결과를 응용할 경우 DMFC를 휴대용 전자기기에 적용함에 있어서 성능향상 및 가격경쟁력 확보에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

Superparamagnetic maghemite nanoparticles were prepared by chemical co-precipitation, followed by a temperate oxidation stage, and investigated using FE-SEM, XRD, TGA, VSM, and M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. Through SEM image and XRD analysis, its average particle size was found to be 13.9 nm. While VSM magnetic measurement showed typical superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature, M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopic investigation revealed that non-vanishing magnetic hyperfine structure were retained. Cation distribution estimated from M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy confirmed the formation of maghemite nanophase in the sample.

Polarization of the light reflected off the Moon provides information on the size and composition of the particles in the lunar regolith. The mean particle size of the regolith can be estimated from the combination of the albedo and degree of polarization, while the color ratio of the parallel-component polarization (CP) has been suggested to be related to the amount of nanophase metallic iron (npFe^0) inside the regolith particles. Both the mean size and npFe^0 abundance of the particles have been used as maturity indicators of the regolith since sustained impacts of high energy particles and micro-meteoroids cause comminution of particles and production of npFe^0. Based on our multispectral polarimetric observations of the whole near side of the Moon in the U, B, V, R, and I bands, we compare the maps of the mean particle size, CP, and the optical maturity (OM). We find that the mean particle size map is sensitive to the most immature (~0.1 Gyr) soil, the OP map to the intermediate immaturity (a few 0.1 Gyr) soil, and the CP map to the least immature (~1 Gyr) soil.

Magnetic nanoparticles of iron and iron oxide have been prepared in a modified upward thermal diffusion cloud chamber using pulsed laser evaporation. SEM/TEM studies of these particles reveal a size distribution with a mean diameter of about $60\;{\AA}$. FTIR spectrum measurements are used to investigate the difference in oxidation level between nanoparticles prepared at different partial oxygen pressures. The complex magnetic behaviour of these particles was studied using DC- and AC-susceptibility measurements. All samples exhibit superparamagnetism with blocking temperatures ranging from 50 K to above room temperature. The coercivity fields as well as the dependence of the blocking temperature on measuring frequency have been studied. magnetic anisotropy constants are found to be one order of magnitude higher than is known for the bulk values. The mean particle size estimated from the magnetic data is found to be in perfect agreement with the TEM observations.
