실리콘 단결정에서 존재하는 산화저층결합(OISF)은 실리콘 웨이퍼의 전기적 성질에 많은 영향을 미치게 되는데 이 산화적층결함의 핵(nuclei)은 결정성장 과정에서 형성되며, 그 주요 원인으로는 초기 산소 농도, dopant의 종류 및 농도, 냉각속도 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 냉각 속도에 따른 실리콘 단결정 내의 산화적층결함에 관하여 조사하였다. 수평관상로를 이용하여 실리콘 단결정괴를 Ar 분위기에서 $1400^{\circ}C$까지 승온후 각기 다른 냉각속도로 냉각하였다. 이후 $1150^{\circ}C$에서 산화처리를 한 후 실리콘 단결정 내의 산화적층결함의 농도를 조사하였으며, FTIR을 이용하여 산화석출물이 산화적층결함의 형성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과 실리콘 단결정 내에서 산화적층결함이 가장 많이 형성되는 중간 단계의 냉각속도 범위가 있음을 확인하였으며 실리콘 단결정 내의 산소가 석출물의 형태로 존재할 때 산화적층결함이 많이 형성됨을 알 수 있었다.

Polymers for laser sintering were needed in order to fabricate the articles with the three-dimensional duplication equipment of SLS (selective laser sintering) process. The thermal properties, particle size, distribution, and shape of polymer powder had a close relation with the processibility of laser sintering. In this study, we prepared new polymer powders with uniform size and higher bulk density by wet process. Wet process consists of several finely-controlled steps such as dissolution, nucleation, propagation and crystallization. Several additives were added to improve the thermal, rheological, and flow properties.

The growth process of solid grains in a liquid matrix is usually explained in tem1S of Ostwald ripening. The variation of growth (dissolution) rate as a function of grain size during Ostwald ripening predicted that the dissolution rate becomes very large as grain size decreases but the growth rate of a large grain is rather limited. Therefore. a rather uniform size distribution of grain size is maintained once after the quasi-equilibrium state is reached. Quite frequently, however, the exaggerated grain growth (EGG) is observed to occur: only a limited number of grains grow exceptionally. From the observation that the EGG occurs only for the faceted grains with apparently straight solid-liquid interfaces, the EGG is suggested to be the consequence of growth process controlled by 2-dimensional nucleation. In this study, the result by computer calculation on the grain growth process controlled by various mechanisms will be given.

Three types of spherulitic morphologies have been investigated in dual substrate mode of Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) type reaction system. Prior to growth of spherulites, three distinct patterning behaviors have been observed sequentially during the reaction process. Initial and the early-phase of reaction showed the emergence of concentric ring-like wave patterns. A colloidal-state of reaction consists of numerous fine solid particles, which forms primarily some nucleation centers of dendritic characters. The nucleation centers were found to grow in sizes and shapes with the progress of reaction. It leads to growth of dendritic-like spherulitic crystal patterns. The resultant spherulites showed transitions in their morphologies, including sea-weeds and rhythmic spherulitic crystal patterns, by the effects substituted organic substrate and in the higher concentration of bromate-initiator respectively. The branching mechanism and crystal ordering of spherulitic textures were studied with help of optical microscope (OPM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Characteristics of crystal phases were also evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Results indicated that the compositions of reactants and crystal orderings were interrelated with morphological transitions of spherulites as illustrated and described.

Fretting fatigue is often the root cause of the nucleation of cracks at attachments of structural components. Since fretting fatigue damage accumulation occurs over relatively small volumes, the subsurface cyclic plastic strain is expected to be rather non-uniformly distributed in polycrystalline materials. The scale of the cyclic plasticity and the damage process zones is often on the order of microstructure dimensions. Fretting damage analyses using cyclic crystal plasticity constitutive models have the potential to account for the influence of size, morphology, and crystallographic orientation of grains on fretting damage evolution. Two-dimensional plane strain simulations of fretting fatigue are performed using the cyclic properties of Ti-6Al-4V. The crystal plasticity simulations are compared to an initially isotropic $J_{2}$ theory with nonlinear kinematic hardening as well as to experiments. The influence of initially isotropic versus textured microstructure in the presence of crystallographic slip is studied.

Amyloidogenic proteins often exhibit fibrillar polymorphism through alternative assembly processes, which has been considered to have possible pathological implications. Here, firefly luciferase (LUC) is shown to induce amyloid polymorphism of ${\alpha}$-synuclein, the major constituent of Lewy bodies found in Parkinson's disease, by acting as a novel template. The drastically accelerated fibrillation kinetics of ${\alpha}$-synuclein with LUC required the nucleation center produced by the active enzyme of LUC. Fluorescent dye binding, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy revealed the morphologically distinctive amyloid fibrils of ${\alpha}$-synuclein prepared in the absence or presence of LUC. As the altered morphological characteristics became inherent to the mature fibrils, those properties were inherited to next-generations via nucleation-dependent fibrillation process. The seed control, therefore, would be an effective means to modify amyloid fibrils with different biochemical characteristics. In addition, the LUC-directed amyloid fibrillar polymorphism also suggests that other cellular biomolecules including enzymes in general are able to diversify amyloid fibrils, which could be self-propagated with diversified biological activities, if any, inside cells.

Solid phase crystallization (SPC) is a simple method in producing a polycrystalline phase by annealing amorphous silicon (a-Si) in a furnace environment. Main motivation of the crystallization technique is to fabricate low temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors (LTPS-TFTs) on a thermally susceptible glass substrate. Studies on SPC have been naturally focused to the low temperature regime. Recently, fabrication of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) TFT circuits from a high temperature polycrystalline silicon process on steel foil substrates was reported. Solid phase crystallization of a-Si films proceeds by nucleation and growth. After nucleation polycrystalline phase is propagated via twin mediated growth mechanism. Elliptically shaped grains, therefore, contain intra-granular defects such as micro-twins. Both the intra-granular and the inter-granular defects reflect the crystallinity of SPC poly-Si. Crystallinity and SPC kinetics of high temperatures were compared to those of low temperatures using Raman analysis newly proposed in this study.

In order to obtain mono-dispersed Fe NPs with high saturation magnetization, quantitative analysis method to investigate the growth dynamics of the Fe NPs synthesized by a conventional thermal decomposition method has been developed. As a result, fast nucleation process promotes formation of ~4 nm of initial nucleus with a non-equilibrium phase, resulting in low saturation magnetization. And slow particle growth with atomic-scaled surface precipitation mode (< 100 atoms/($min{\cdot}nm^2$)) can form the growth layer on the surface of initial nucleus with high saturation magnetization (~190 emu/$g_{Fe}$) as an equilibrium a phase of Fe. Therefore, higher stabilization of small initial nucleus generated just after the injection of $Fe(CO)_5$ should be one of the key issues to achieve much higher $M_s$ of Fe NPs.

The crystallization behaviors of slag-based glass in $CaO-MgO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2(-Na_2O)$ system have been studied. The mother glass containing 16.50 CaO, 7.50MgO, 19.70Al2O3, 50.80SiO3 and 2.09wt% $Na_2O$ was prepared by using Korean domestic raw materials such as granulated slag, serpentine, sea sand and etc. The glass-ceramics composed of major crystalline phase diopside was produced by the heat treatment in a temperature range from 850$^{\circ}$ to 9$25^{\circ}C$ for 0-6hr. The composition and morphology of diopside phase formed in the system were examined by X-ray diffraction analysis and electron microscopy. The kinetic measurements such as J.M. A plot and Arrhenius plot indicated that the process of nucleation of the initially formed diopside phase could be described from the view point of instantaneous nucleation. It was also demonstrated that the linear crystal growth of diopside phase was proceeded by short range diffusion of $Mg^{2+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$ ion. The microstructures of the resulting glass-ceramics were consisted of leafroidal shaped crystalline aggregations.
