The aqua-plasma is the non-thermal plasma in electrical conductive electrolyte by generates the vapor film layer on the immersed metal electrode surface. This plasma can generate the hydroxyl radical by dissociate the water molecule with the plasma electron. To develop the plasma discharge device for high efficiency in the hydroxyl radical generation, proper model for estimation of plasma power is necessary. In this work, the 1-D spherical model was developed, considering temperature dependence material constants. The relation between the plasma power and hydroxyl generation was also studied by the comparison between the optical emission intensity from the hydroxyl radical using monochromator and estimated plasma power. First, the thickness of vapor layer thickness was estimated using the Navier-Stokes fluid equation in order to calculate the discharge E-field inside vapor layer. Using the E-field magnitude and power balance on the plasma generation, it was possible to estimate the plasma power. The plasma power was assumed to uniformly fill the vapor layer and the temperature of vapor layer was fixed in the boiling temperature of electrolyte, 375K. In the experiment, the aqua-plasma was discharged in the saline by applied the voltage on the bipolar electrode. The range of applied voltage was 234 to 280V-rms in the frequency of 380 kHz. Two type electrodes were produced with two ${\Phi}0.2$ tungsten. The plasma power was estimated from the V-I signal from the two high voltage probes and current probe. The estimated plasma power agreed with the profile of emission intensity when the plasma discharged between the metal electrode and vapor layer surface. However, when the plasma discharged between the metal electrodes, the increasing rate of emission intensity was lower than the increase of plasma power. It implies that the surface reaction is more sufficient rather than the volume reaction in the radical generation, due to the high density of water molecule in the liquid.

본 연구에서는 광학 및 전자현미경 관찰과 전자현미분석을 수행하여 쥐 치아의 미세구조, 화학 조성 및 hydroxyapatite의 결정구조를 파악하였다. 치아의 겉 표면을 둘러싸고 있는 법랑질은 막대들이 일정하게 배열된 구조이며 결정도가 높고 Ca이 많이 침착되어 있다. 그에 비해 상아질은 상아세관이 통과하는 원형의 구멍이 고루 분포되어 있는 스펀지 구조이며 유기질의 존재로 인해 Mg의 분포가 법랑질에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. Hydroxyapatite 결정들은 법랑질에서는 크기가 큰 막대 형태로 나타났으나 상아질에서는 크기가 작은 침상 형태로 나타났으며, 각 조직의 결정도와 유기질의 유무에 따라 전자회절패턴의 차이를 보였다.

The surface of AC8A Ah alloy was modified by adding the Cu powder using a Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) welding process. Under the optimum fabricating conditions, the modified surface of AC8A Ah alloy was observed to possess the sound microstructure with a minimum porosity. Hardness and wear resistance properties of the as-fabricated alloy were compared with those of the 76 heat-treated one. In case of the as-fabricated alloy, the hardness of the modified layer was twice that of the matrix region. Although significant increase in the hardness of the matrix region was observed after T6 heat treatment, the hardness of the modified layer was not observed to change. The wear resistance of the modified layer was significantly increased compared to that of the matrix region. The microstructure of a weld zone and the matrix region were investigated using the optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The primary and eutectic silicon in the weld zone were finer and more curved than in the matrix region, while some precipitates has had been found therein. According to the TEM observation, the predominant precipitate present in the weld zone was the $\theta$'phase, which is precipitated during cooling by rapid solidification in PTA welding process. Improvement of hardness and wear properties in the weld zone in the as-fabricated condition can be explained based on the presence of $\theta$’precipitates and fine primary and eutectic silicon distribution.

높은 광학적 투과성과 전기전도성을 갖는 ITO film은 solar cell같은 optoelectronic device나 휴대용 소형 TV, flat panel display 등의 투명전극으로 그 응용 분야가 광범위하여 많은 연구가 수행되어져 왔다. 기판으로서 유리를 사용할 때 생기는 활용범위 제한을 극복하고자 최근 유기물 위에 증착이 가능한 저온 증착방법에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그 가운데 이온빔과 같은 energetic한 beam을 이용한 박막의 제조는 기판을 플라즈마 발생지역으로부터 분리시켜 이온빔의 flux 및 에너지, 입사각 등의 자유로운 조절을 통해 상온에서도 우수한 성질의 박막형성 가능성이 제시되어 지고 있다. ITO박막을 형성하는 방법 중 스프레이법이나 CVD법과 같은 화학적 증착방법은 증착시 350-50$0^{\circ}C$의 고온이 필요하고 현재 가장 많이 응용되어 지고 있는 sputter법은 15$0^{\circ}C$정도의 가열이 필요하므로 앞으로 응용가능성이 매우 커서 많은 연구가 진행중인 플라스틱과 아크릴 같은 flexible 한 기판위 증착에 적용이 불가능하다. 본 실험에서는 IBAD(Ion Beam Assisted Deposition)법을 이용하여 저온 ITO film을 유리와 유기막위에 증착하는 연구를 수행하였다. 유기막위에 증착된 ITO는 보다 가볍고 충격에 강하고 유리에 못지 않은 투과성을 가지고 있으나 현재 film의 quality 향상에 대한 요구가 증대되어 지고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 실험에서는 dual oxygen ion gun의 조건변화에 따른 ITO film의 특성변화를 관찰하였다. 고정된 증？율에 한 개 ion gun에 ion flux를 고정시킨 후 또 다른 ion gun에서 발생하는 oxygen radical의 영향을 조사하였으며 oxygen radical의 rf power에 따른 변화는 OES(Optical emission spectroscopy)를 사용하였다. 너무 적은 oxygen ion beam flux나 oxygen radical은 film의 전도도 및 투과도를 저하시켰고 반면 너무 과도한 flux의 증가 시는 전도도는 감소하였고 투과도는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 기판에 도달하는 oxygen ion flux는 faraday cup을 이용하여 측정하였으며 증착된 ITO film은 XPS, UV-spectrometer, 4-point probe를 이용하여 분석하였다.

Overlaid weld metals of austenitic stainless steel in a pressure vessel of power reactor are usually post-weld heated for a long period of time after welding. The PWHT is considered as a kind of sensitizing and it is important to check the soundness of the weld metal after PWHT, especially about the precipitation of carbides. The purpose of this report is to obtain information on the relation between the change of microstructure and Post-Weld Heat Treatment in the overlaid weld metals. Metallurgical aspects of the problem on austenitic stainless steel heated at $625^{\circ}C$, $670^{\circ}C$, $720^{\circ}C$ and $760^{\circ}C$ for 3, 10, 30, 100 and 300 hours have been investigated by means of optical-micrography, micro-hardness measurement, scanning electron microscope and electron-probe micro analysis. From the results obtained, the following conclusions are drawn; 1) The PWHT above $625^{\circ}C$ for a long time causes a diffusion of carbon atoms from low alloy steel into stainless steel, and consequently carbon is highly concentrated at the boundary layer of stainless steel. 2) C in ferritic steel migrated to austenitic steel and carbides precipitated in austenitic steel along fusion line. At higher temperatures, the ferrite grains coarsened in the decarburized zone. 3) In the change of microstructure of stainless steel overlaid weld metal, the width of carbides precipitated zone and decarburized zone increased with increase of PWHT temperature and time. 4) At about $625^{\circ}C$ to $760^{\circ}C$, chromium carbides, mainly $M_{23} C_6$, precipitate very closely in the carburized layer with remarkable hardening. 5) Precipitation of delta ferrite from molten weld metal depends on solidification phenomenon. There was a small of ferrite near the bond in which the local solidification time was short, comparing with after parts of weld metal. Shape and amount of ferrite were not changed by Post-Weld Heat Treatment after solidification.

현재 국내 주얼리(gold alloy) 제품을 생산함에 있어 주조 방법은 크게 대기 중 주조(흡입주조) 방법과 진공주조 방법으로 나누어진다. 국내 주얼리 제조업체의 약 90%이상이 대기 중에서 주조하는 흡입주조방법을 통해 제품을 제작하고 있고, 국외의 경우, 대다수 진공주조방법을 통해 제품을 제작하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 주얼리 제품을 생산할 때 사용되는 합금재료(master alloy)가 동일한 조건에서 주조방법을 달리하여 각각 24개씩 총 48개의 14K yellow gold alloy 제품을 제작한 후 열처리를 통해 각각의 기계적, 물리적 특성분석을 비교 분석하였다. EPMA (Electron Probe Micro Analysis)분석을 통해 합금재료 및 제품의 구성성분을 조사하였고, ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy)를 사용하여 성분에 대한 정량분석을 실시하였다. 용체화처리(solid solution treatment)는 $700^{\circ}C$, 30분의 조건으로 실시하였고, 시효경화처리(age-hardening)는 $200{\sim}300^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 $50^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 실시하였다. 열처리 전과 후 시료의 grain 들의 배열 및 size 변화를 관찰하기 위해 식각 후 OM (optical microscope) 및 SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope)를 통해 분석하였다. 열처리 전 제품의 경도측정결과 대기 중 흡입주조방법 및 진공 주조방법을 통해 제작된 제품이 각각 119 Hv, 126 Hv로 나타났고, 용체화 처리 후 98 Hv, 92 Hv로 감소하였다. 시효경화 처리 후의 경도변화는 대기 중 흡입주조 및 진공주조방법을 통해 제작된 제품 모두 $270^{\circ}C$에서 각각 154 HV, 166 HV로 가장 높은 경도 값을 나타내었고, $270^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 과시효(over aging)현상으로 인해 경도 값이 다시 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. EPMA mapping 분석을 통해 주조방법에 따라 각각 제품의 구성성분분포도를 확인하였다. 이를 통해 열처리 전 다소 불균일하게 분포되었던 성분들이 열처리 후 균일해짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

We investigate the transparent TFTs using a transparent ZnSnO3 (ZTO)/Ag/ZTO multilayer electrode as S/D electrodes with low resistivity of $3.24{\times}10^{-5}$ ohm-cm, and high transparency of 86.29% in ZTO based TFTs. The Transparent TFTs (TTFTs) are prepared on glass substrate coated 100 nm of ITO thin film. On atomic layer deposited $Al_2\;O_3$, 50 nm ZTO layer is deposited by RF magnetron sputtering through a shadow mask for channel layer using ZTO target with 1 : 1 molar ratio of ZnO : $SnO_2$. The power of 100W, the working pressure of 2mTorr, and the gas flow of Ar 20 sccm during the ZTO deposition. After channel layer deposition, a ZTO (35 nm)/Ag (12 nm)/ZTO(35 nm) multilayer is deposited by DC/RF magnetron sputtering to form transparent S/D electrodes which are patterned through the shadow mask. Devices are annealed in air at 300$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min following ZTO deposition. Using UV/Visible spectrometer, the optical transmittances of the TTFT using ZTO/Ag/ ZTO multilayer electrodes are compared with TFT using Mo electrode. The structural properties of ZTO based TTFT with ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayer electrodes are analyzed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The transfer and output characterization of ZTO TTFTs are examined by a customized probe station with HP4145B system in are.

Microstructural and mechanical characteristics of Al-6Si-2Cu alloy for engine mount bracket prepared by gravity casting (as-cast) and die-casting (as-diecast) process have been investigated. For the microstructural characterization, the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) analyses are conducted. For the intermetallic phases, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) are also conducted with quantitative and qualitative analysis. Micro Vickers hardness and static tensile test are achieved in order to measure mechanical properties of alloys. Secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) of as-cast and as-diecast show 37um and 18um, respectively. A large amount of coarsen eutectic Si, $Al_2Cu$ intermetallic phase and Fe-rich phases are identified in the Al-6Si-2Cu alloy. Mechanical properties of gravity casting alloy are much higher than those of die-casting alloy. Especially, yield strength and elongation of gravity casting alloy show 2 times higher than die-casting alloy. After shot peening, shot peening refined the surface grains and Si particles of the alloys by plastic deformation. The surface hardness value shows that shot peening alloy has higher value than unpeening alloy.

Effects of bipolar pulse driving frequency between 50 kHz and 250 kHz on the discharge shapes were analyzed by measuring plasma characteristics by OES (Optical Emission Spectroscopy) and Langmuir probe. Plasma characteristics were modeled by a simple electric field analysis and fluid plasma modeling. Discharge shapes by a continuous dc and bipolar pulsed dc were different as a dome-type and a vertical column-type at the cathode. From OES, the intensity of 811.5 nm wavelength, the one of the main peaks of Ar, decreased to about 43% from a continuous dc to 100 kHz. For increasing from 100 kHz to 250 kHz, the intensity of 811.5 nm wavelength also decreased by 46%. The electron density decreased by 74% and the electron temperature increased by 36% at the specific position due to the smaller and denser discharge shape for increasing pulse frequency. Through the numerical analysis, the negative glow shape of a continuous dc were similar to the electric potential distribution by FEM (Finite Element Method). For the bipolar pulsed dc, we found that the electron temperature increased to maximum 10 eV due to the voltage spikes by the fast electron acceleration generated in pre-sheath. This may induce the electrons and ions from plasma to increase the energetic substrate bombardment for the dense thin film growth.

Fabrication and Characterization of Bi$_{2}$/Sr$_{2}$/CaCu$_{2}$/O$_{8}$(Bi2212) superconductor thick films were fabricated successfully on C tapes by liquid reaction between Cu-free precursors of Bi$_{x}$/SrCaO/$_{y}$(x=1.2-2) and Cu tapes. Cu-free Bi-Sr-Ca-O powder mixtures were screen-printed on Cu tapes and heat-treated at 850-87$0^{\circ}C$ for several minutes in air oxygen nitrogen and low oxygen pressure. In order to obtain the optimum heat-treatment condition we studied the effect of the precursor composition the printing thickness and the heat-treatment atmosphere on the superconducting properties of Bi2212 films and the reaction mechanism. Microstructures and phases of thick films were analyzed by films and the reaction mechanism. Microstructures and phases of thick films were analyzed by optical microscope and XRD. The electric properties of superonducting films were examined by the four probe method. At heat-treatment temperature the thick films were in a partially molten state by liquid reaction between CuO of the oxidized copper tape and the precursors which were printed on Cu tapes. During the heat-treatment procedure Bi2212 superconducting particle nucleate and grow in preferred orientations.ons.s.
