  • A number of investigators have reported the formation of the radiolytic ultrafine particles produced by the interaction of ionizing radiation with water vapor. Previous studies have suggested that a very high localized concentration of the OH radical produced by the radiolysis of water can react with trace gas like organic vapors and produce lower vapor pressure compounds that can then nucleate. In order to determine water vapor dependence of the active, positively charged, first radon daughter(Po-218), an experiment was conducted using a well-controlled radon chamber. The activity size distribution of the radon daughter in the range of 0.5-100nm was measured using the parallel graded wire screens system. Measurements were taken for different relative humidity. The resultant activity size distributions were analyzed. The addition of water vapor to the radon carrier gases resulted in the formation of ultrafine particles by OH radicals formed by radon radiolysis. It may be due to the neutralization of charged Po-218 ion with water vapor through the radio lysis.

  • To develop a technique of theoretical alpha track density calculation for comparison with measured track density, an electrostatic ion spectrometer was specially designed and fabricated. The mobility spectrum of first radon daughter(Po-218) in the range of $0.07{\sim}5.0cm^2/V\;s$ from the radon chamber was measured using-the electrostatic ion spectrometer. Measurement was taken in a radon chamber operated using dry particle free air passed through silica gel, activated charcoal and molecular sieve filters. The mobility of a new-born Po-218 ion measured by the electrostatic ion spectrometer was determined to be $1.92cm^2/V\;s$. A comparison of the theoretical and measured alpha track densities was completed and uncertainties concerning the shape of the spectrum were analyzed. It was found that the discrepancies in track densities are primarily Que to the neglect of wall loss of ions in the theoretical track density calculation.

  • 고체 전해질로서 $CsH_2PO_4$결정은 $230^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 전기전도도가 $10^{-2}\;{\Omega}^{-1}cm^{-1}$의 값에 도달하는 초양성자(Superprotonic) 상태로 상전이를 한다. 이러한 이유로 $CsH_2PO_4$ 결정은 $230^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 사용할 수 있는 연료전지로 개발되어왔다. 실용적인 면에서 단결정의 경우보다 다결정의 물성 및 응용 연구가 많았는데, 입자 크기에 따른 체계적인 연구는 잘 이루어지지 않았다. 본 발표에서는 $CsH_2PO_4$ 다결정을 합성하여 SEM 및 micro Raman spectra를 조사하였다. SEM의 결과 입자들의 평균 크기는 100 nm 이었으며, micro Raman spectra는 Bulk $CsH_2PO_4$의 spectra 와 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. $PO_4$의 내부진동은 거의 같은 주파수대를 보여주나, $300\;cm^{-1}$이하의 저주파 수 영역에서는 광학적 포논의 픽이 잘 보이지 않았다. 그 원인이 micro Raman 장치의 측정 특성인지, 물리적 변화인지는 확실치 않다.

  • A number of investigators have reported formation of radiolytic ultrafine particles produced by the interaction of ionizing radiation with atmospheric trace gases. Previous studies have suggested that a very high localized concentration of the hydroxyl radical produced by the radiolysis of water can react with atmospheric trace gases such as $SO_2$ and produce lower vapor pressure compounds that can subsequently nucleate. To determine the trace gas and water vapor concentration dependence of the active, positively charged, first decayt product of radon (Po-218), a well-controlled radon chamber was used in this research. The mobility spectrum of the decay products in the range of $0.07-5.0cm^2/V\;sec$ from the radon chamber was measured using alpha track detector installed inside a specially-designed electrostatic spectrometer. Measurements were taken for different concentrations (0.5ppm to 5ppm) of $SO_2$ in Purified, Compressed air. A kinetics Study following the clustering of $SO_2$ around the $PoO_x^+$ ion in an excess of $SO_2$ for interpretation of the reaction processes was performed.

  • Hull forms of Jiao Yi Ship for shipping and foreign trade in Silla and Tang Dynasty were transformed and developed in accordance to their voyage and rational routes. The trade ship was a sea ship, used by Chang Po Go's, the Silla great sea merchant ship, in the marine trade with China during the 8th and 9th century. It is not easy to presume the hull type and trade formal of Chang Po Go's Jiao Yi Ship of the 8th and 9th Century. Studying on the ship type of the trade ship is the urgent problem to be solved, in the sphere of leaning about the history of communication between China and Korea. The authors take the initial prove into this subjects, by researching Chang Po Go's marine activities, and point out that the trade ship's original type should be the Sha Ship which was the sea ship sailing th sea in northern China, in the Tang Dynasty. This study aims to present materials concerning hull forms of Chang Po Go's Jian Yi Ship by analysing ancient voyage history, foreign trade history, and ship history of Silla, Tang and Japan during the 8th and 9th century.

  • A Lucas cell was established and calibrated by using the double layer tube standard radon source. The calibration factors were 0.031$\pm$0.002 (pCi/l)/(cph/Cell) at room temperature, and 0.029$\pm$0.001 (pCi/l)/(cph/Cell) at $50^{\circ}C$. Radon and its daughters concentrations were measured in a room air for the demonstrating purpose. The concentrations of 222 Rn, $^{218}Po,\;224\;Pb,\;and\;^{214}Bi$ were 0.87, 0.53, 0.35 and 0.26 pCi/l. The total eqilibrium factor was around 0.40 and the WL is $3.33{\times}10^{-3}$, resulting in 30 mrem/yr at this place.

  • The reaction behavior of rigid polyurethane foams were studied on the effects of gelling catalysts of amine type, such as; dimethylcyclohexyl amine (DMCHA) and of potassium type, such as; potassium octoate (PO). Rigid polyurethane foams were provided with polymeric 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, polyester polyol, silicone surfactant, blowing agent and a few gelling catalysts. As the contents of catalyst, DMCHA increased from 0 to 2.0 g, the reaction time decreased from ca. 330 to ca. 35 sec and due to the exothermic reaction, the maximum temperature increased from ca. 217 to ca. $234^{\circ}C$, respectively. As the contents of PO increased from 0 to 2.5 g, the reaction time decreased from ca. 79 to ca. 38 sec and the maximum temperature increased from ca. 182 to ca. $271^{\circ}C$, respectively. The kinetic parameters were calculated and the conversions were based on the temperature rising method of adiabatic process. As the content of DMCHA increased, the rate constant $k_0$ increased. But in the case of PO catalyst, $k_0$ did hardly depend upon its amount, and showed us similar reaction rate constants.
