무산소동을 안정화 모재로한 Cu/Nb-Ti 빌렛트를 제작한 다음 간접 열간방식의 압출에 의해 얻어진 봉재를 인발한 후 신선과 열처리를 반복하여 단심 및 다심 Nb-Ti 초전도 선재를 제조하였다. 가공 조직을 조사한 결과, 단심 선재의 경우 Nb-Ti 심의 단면이 균일하게 가공된 것을 확인하였으며 다심선재의 경우는 신선가공에 의하여 다소 불균질한 필라멘트부분이 관찰되었다. 4.2K, 자장하에서 4단자법으로 직선형 단척시료의 임계전류를 측정하여 가공 열처리 조건에 따른 임계전류밀도의 자장특성을 조사하였는데 열처리시간을 길게하고 가공도를 높인 시료일수록 자장하의 임계전류밀도가 높게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 4.2K, 5T 자장하에서 각각 4 x $10^{5}$A/$cm^{2}$ 및 2 x $10^{5}$A/$cm^{2}$의 임계전류밀도를 나타내는 Nb-Ti 단심 및 다심 초전도선재를 제작 할 수 있었다.있었다.

In order to investigate how the fatigue damage effects on the critical properties of superconductor, a fatigue test at room temperature and an Ic measurement test at 4.2K were carried out in this study, respectively, using a 9 strand Cu-Ni/NbTi/Cu composite cable. Through the fatigue test of a 9 strand Cu-NUNbTi/Cu composite cable, a conventional S-N curve was plotted even though there was a possibility of fretting among strands. It was found that the maximum stress corresponding to the inflection point on the S-N curve obtained was nearly the same value as the yielding strength of cable obtained from the static tensile test. However, the effect of cabling in multi-strands superconducting cable on the fatigue strength was not noticeable. The critical current(Ic) measurement was carried out at 4.2K in a NbTi strand out of the fatigued cable. It showed a degradation of lc at high stress amplitude regions over 380NTa, and the degradation became significant as the applied stress amplitude increased.

In order to investigate the effect of fatigue damage on the properties of RRR in this study. fatigue tests at room temperature and residual resistivity measurement tests at 12K were carried out using annealed 9 strand Cu-Ni/NbTi/Cu composite cables Through fatigue tests of NbTi composite cables. a conventional S-N curve could be obtained even though there existed a possibility of fretting among strands, From the resistivity measurement of a NbTi strand after fatigue test, it was found that the RRR of xii·gin strand for annealed cables was 3 times more than that for as-received one. With increasing of fatigue cycles at a sress amplitude level. the RRR decreased. which was resulted from the accumulation of damage such as lattice defects and dislocation within the Cu stabilizer.

In this study, the fatigue test at room temperature and residual resistivity measurement test at 12K were carried out, respectively, using a 0 strand Cu-Ni/NbTi/Cu composite cable, in order to investigate how the annealing treatment effects on critical properties due to fatigue damage. Through a fatigue test of a 0 strand Cu-Ni/NbTi/Cu composite cables, a conventional S-N curve was obtained even though there existed a possibility of fretting among strands. From the resistivity measurement of a NbTi strand after fatigue tests, it was found that the RRR for annealed cables was 3 times more than that for as-received one, but with increase of the repeated number the RRR decreased which was resulted from the accumulation of damage such as lattice defects dislocation within the Cu stabilizer.

Cu/NbTi multilayer thin films and superconducting wires were fabricated and heat treated with conventional annealing and analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as a basic study for the enhancement of Jc. Interfacial reactions of Cu/NbTi multilayer thin films and superconducting wires were investigated with optical microscope, SEM, and XRD. According to the effective heat of formation (EHF) model, CU$\_$3/Ti was predicted as a first phase. However, considering the crystalline structure and thermodynamics, CuTi was predicted as a first phase. According to the results of DSC and XRD, CU$\_$2/Ti was found to be the first phase, followed by the formation Of CU$\_$4/Ti. The difference in first crystalline phase between the experimental result and the predicted one was discussed. In case of Cu/NbTi superconducting wires, the compounds formed at the Cu/NbTi interface grew with annealing time and the amount of compounds formed in Nb-47wt%Ti alloy was larger than that in Nb-50wt%Ti alloy. It seemed that the incubation time for the formation of compounds in Nb-50wt%Ti alloy was longer than that formed in Nb-47wt%Ti alloy. Also, the diffusion was the rate controlling step for the growth of compounds in all specimens. These compounds were formed at 500-600.deg. C for I hour annealing and, thus, the drawing time below I hour must be required to minimize the growth of compounds for the enhancement of Jc.

Increasing the critical current density of superconducting wire is one of the difficult challenges in the field of superconductivity. It is well known that the higher volume fraction of uniformly dispersed α-Ti is able to enhance the critical current density of superconducting material NbTi because α-Ti serves as a flux pinning center. The volume fraction of α-Ti highly depends on the grain size of NbTi because α-Ti precipitates at the grain boundaries or triple points. For this purpose, we investigated the effect of initial microstructures of NbTi obtained from hot rolling in various temperature conditions on the critical current density. In addition, subsequent heat treatment was assigned to precipitate α-Ti and groove rolling/cold drawing was adopted to produce a wire with a diameter of about 1.0 mm. It was observed that the band structure was formed after hot rolling at 500~600℃. It was also found that the volume fraction of α-Ti after hot rolling at 500~600℃ was higher and it led to the highest critical current density.

Transition metal ions doped $TiO_2$ nanostructured powders were prepared with simply heating aqueous $TiOCl_2$ solutions, contained various metal ions (Ni, Al, Fe, Zr, and Nb) of 1.47 mol% added as metal-chlorides, at $100^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs by homogeneous precipitation process under suppressing conditions of water vaporization. The characterizations for prepared $TiO_2$ powders were carried out to observe doping of metal ions, their concentrations and microstructures using XRD, UV-VIS (DRS), XPS, SEM, TEM and ICP. Also, photo-oxidative abilities were evaluated by decomposition of 4-chlorophenol (4CP) under ultraviolet light irradiations. No secondary oxide phases were formed in all the $VTiO_2$ powders, showing doping with various transition metal ions. When adding ions ($Ni^{2+}$ or$ Al^{3+ }$ and $Zr^{4+}$ ) having valance states or ionic radii greatly different from those of $Ti^{4+}$ , the $TiO_2$ powders of mixed anatase and rutile phases were formed, whereas in the case of additions of $^Fe{3+ }$ and $Nb^{ 5+}$ as well as no addition of metal ion the powders with pure rutile phase alone were formed. Among the prepared $TiO_2$ powders, Ni$^{2+}$ doped $TiO_2$ powders, containing a small amount of anatase phase, showed excellent photo-oxidative ability in 4CP decomposition because of relative decreases in electron-hole recombination and poisoning of $TiO_2$ surface during the photoreaction.n.

최근 광촉매 재료로 각광받고 있는 TiO$_2$는 band gap 에너지가 3.0-3.2eV로 자외선 영역과 일부 가시광선 영역에서 활성을 갖는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 용액 중에 결정화 및 안정화 되어있는 TiO$_2$의 band gap 에너지를 낮춘다면 가시광 영역의 광반응을 얻을 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 G. Sato등이 제안한 방법으로 TiO$_2$ sol을 제조할 때 band gap 에너지를 낮추고자 천이 금속원소를 첨가하여 복합 및 담지된 TiO$_2$계 복합 sol을 합성하고자 하였다 출발원료는 TiC1$_4$를 가수분해하여 제조한 TiOCl$_2$에 천이금속원소인 V, Cr, Fe, Ni, Nb 등의 chloride 화합물을 첨가하여 중화 및 세척과정을 거친 후, 과산화수소수에 용해하여 전구체 용액인 titania peroxo용액을 제조하였다 제조된 전구체 용액은 온도와 시간을 변수로 각각 열처리하여 TiO$_2$계 복합 sol을 합성하였다. 제조된 시편은 X-선 회절 분석, 투과전자현미경, particle size analyzer, ζ-potential analyzer 및 UV-VIS Spectrometer 통을 이용하여 천이금속 첨가에 따른 TiO$_2$계 복합 sol의 형성과정과 특성변화를 관찰하였다.

저온균일침전법(HPPLT)으로 제조된 TiO$_2$나노분말은 10$0^{\circ}C$이하의 온도에서 rutile상을 얻을 수 있다. 또한, rutile에서 anatase로의 상변화는 합성시간, 가열속도, 반응온도 그리고 음이온 첨가에 의해 일어난다고 보고되어졌지만, 금속양이온들에 의한 상변화는 알려진 바가 없다. 따라서, 다양한 양이온을 첨가하여 저온균일침전법에서 TiO$_2$의 상변화가 어떻게 일어나는지를 조사하였다. 출발원료인 TIC1$_4$를 사용하여 가수분해하여 0.67M의 TiOCl$_2$을 얻었다. 얻어진 TiOCl$_2$ 수용액에 각각 0.01M의 금속염화물(ZrOCl$_2$, NiCl$_2$, CuCl$_2$, FeCl$_3$, AlCl$_3$ 그리고 NbCl$_{5}$)을 첨가한 후 반응기에 넣고 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 4시간동안 가열하였다 가열한 후 얻어진 침전물에 NaOH 수용액을 이용하여 PH 7-8로 중화한 후 증류수로 Cl$^{-}$이온이 제거될 때까지 충분히 세척하였다. 세척된 침전물을 105$^{\circ}C$에서 24h동안 건조하여 분말을 얻었고, rutile에서 anatase로의 상변화특성을 관찰하기 위하여 XRD, SEM, TEM, ICP 분석을 실시하였다.
