Nanopowders of Mo, Ta and Si were made by high-energy ball milling. A dense nanostructured $MoSi_2-TaSi_2$ composite was sintered by the high-frequency induction heated combustion method within 2 minutes from mechanically activated powder of Mo, Ta and Si. A highly dense $MoSi_2-TaSi_2$ composite was produced under simultaneous application of a 80 MPa pressure and the induced current. Mechanical properties and microstucture were investigated. The hardness and fracture toughness of the $MoSi_2-TaSi_2$ composite were $1200kg/mm^2$ and $3.5MPa.m^{1/2}$, respectively. The mechanical properties were higher than those of monolithic $MoSi_2$.

Nanopowders of MgO and $TiO_2$ were made by high energy ball milling. The rapid synthesis and sintering of the nanostructured $MgTiO_3$ compound was investigated by the high-frequency induction heated sintering process. The advantage of this process is that it allows very quick densification to near theoretical density and inhibition grain growth. Nanocrystalline materials have received much attention as advanced engineering materials with improved physical and mechanical properties. As nanomaterials possess high strength, high hardness, excellent ductility and toughness, undoubtedly, more attention has been paid for the application of nanomaterials. A highly dense nanostructured $MgTiO_3$ compound was produced with simultaneous application of 80 MPa pressure and induced current within 2 min. The sintering behavior, gain size and mechanical properties of $MgTiO_3$ compound were investigated.

An accurate analytical equation for the total energy in the framework of the single domain model is used to study the thermal stability of nanostructured synthetic ferrimagnets. Elliptical cells are considered that have lateral dimensions of 160 nm (long axis)$\times$80 nm (short axis) and varying values of thickness asymmetry for the two magnetic layers. The direction of the applied magnetic field, which points to the $45^{\circ}$ direction, is in the opposite direction to the thicker layer magnetization. A significant difference is observed in the applied magnetic field dependencies of the equilibrium magnetic configuration and the magnetic energy barrier when using the simplifying assumption that the self-demagnetizing field is identical in magnitude to the dipole field. At a small thickness asymmetry of 0.2 nm, for example, the magnetic energy barrier is reduced from 68 kT (T=300 K) to 6 kT at the remanent state and a progressive switching behavior changes into a critical behavior, as the simplifying assumption is used. The present results clearly demonstrate the need for an accurate analytical equation for the total energy in predicting the thermal stability of nanostructured synthetic ferrimagnets.

나노재료의 합성이나 나노구조물질의 제작은 나노기술을 기반으로 하는 전자소자를 구현하기 위해서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 나노다공성 알루미나 마스크(nanoporous alumina mask) 를 이용하여 균일도와 정렬도가 우수한 나노구조물들을 제조할 수 있고 이들의 크기와 밀도는 알루미나 마스크의 동공의 직경과 동공밀도를 조절하여 제어할 수 있다. 이러한 방법은 낮은 비용으로 나노구조물의 대면적 제조 공정 개발이 가능하고, 정보통신기술와 바이오기술-나노기술을 융합하는 새로운 물질의 제조에 응용할 수 있을 것이다. 그러므로, 알루미나 마스크를 사용하여 다양한 크기와 밀도를 갖는 나노물질을 제조하는 기술은 새로운 형태의 다양한 전자소자의 구현을 위해 가능성이 큰 기술이라 할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 나노다공성 알루미나 마스크를 제조하는 기술과 이를 이용한 양자점(quantum dots), 나노홀(nanoholes), 나노막대(nanorods) 등의 나노구조물 제조와 그 구조물의 응용성에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

Nanostructured aluminum powders were obtained by means of planetary ball milling with methanol as the Process Control Agent (PCA). The behavior, during milling, was considered measuring the microhardness and grain size at different milling times. Bulk near-full density samples were sintered using the Spark Plasma Sintering technology with different schedules: temperature of $500^{\circ}C$ and $550^{\circ}C$, pressure of 30 MPa and 60 MPa and different modes of applying the pressure were changed in order to understand the behavior during sintering. All the samples retained their nanostructure with an increase of the grain size from about 46 up to 70-90 nm.

수소저장기술은 수소경제를 달성하기 위해 개발해야할 핵심요소기술이다. 이 논문에서는 고체수소저장기술의 최신 개발 동향을 고찰하였다. 나노구조 탄소계 물질(nanostructured carbon materials), 유기금속구조물(metal organic framework, MOFs), 금속수소화물(metal hydrides), 클래스레이트수화물(clathrate hydrates), 금속착수소화물(complex chemical hydrides)과 같은 고체수소저장매체를 중점적으로 고찰하였다. 그 결과 지금까지 개발된 고체수소저장재료의 수소저장용량은 고체의 표면적에 비례하여 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 수송용 탑재형 수소저장 응용을 목적으로 안전하면서도 가역적 고밀도 수소저장이 가능한 기능성 신 나노재료의 개발 방향을 제시하였다.

The Zr-based bulk metallic glass matrix composites of a mixture of gas-atomized metallic glass powders and Fe-based nanostructured powders were fabricated by spark plasma sintering. The Fe-based nanostructured powders adopted for the enhancement of plasticity were well distributed in the matrix after consolidation, and the matrix remains as a fully amorphous phase. The successful consolidation of metallic glass matrix composite with high density was attributed to viscous flow in the supercooled liquid state during spark plasma sintering. Unlike other amorphous matrix composites, in which improved ductility could be obtained at the expense of their strength, the developed composite exhibited improvement both in strength and ductility. The ductility improvement in the composite was considered to be due to the formation of multiple shear bands under the presence of the Fe-based nanostructured particles.

A dense nanostructured MoSi$_{2}$-SiC composite was synthesized by a pulsed current activated combustion synthesis method within 2 min of one step from mechanically activated powders of Mo$_{2}$C and Si. Simultaneous combustion synthesis and consolidation were accomplished under the combined effects of a pulsed current and mechanical pressure. Highly dense MoSi$_{2}$-SiC with a relative density of up to 98% was produced under simultaneous application of an 80 MPa pressure and pulsed current. The average grain size and mechanical properties of the composite were investigated.

A dense nanostructured TiN-AlN composite was prepared from high-energy ball milled TiN-AlN mixture powders by pulsed current activated sintering (PCAS). A highly dense TiN-AlN bulk composite was obtained within 2 minutes at $1500^{\circ}C$ with the simultaneous application of 80 MPa pressure and pulsed current. The fine crystalline structure of the TiN-AlN mixture, which was obtained by high-energy milling, was effectively maintained during PCAS and resulted in the enhancement of the mechanical properties. The micro hardness and fracture toughness of TiN-AlN composite were $1780kg/mm^2$ and $5MPa.m^{1/2}$, respectively. The mechanical properties were higher than monolithic AlN or TiN.
