환원.확산법에 의해 $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}N_{x}$ 계 희토류 영구자석을 제조하기 위한 기초연구로서, 우선 $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}$ 금속간화합물의 제조를 위하여, 금속 Ca에 의한 $Sm_2O_3$의 환원반응과 Fe분말중에 Sm의 확산반응을 검토하였다. 그 결과 전자는 $1000^{\circ}C$이상의 고온의 경우에 매우 빠르게 완료되지만, 후자의 Fe분말의 중심까지 Sm의 확산반응의 완료(완전한 균질화조건)는 $1100^{\circ}C$에서 3h 정도의 R-D 반응이 필요하며, 이 확산반응이 전체반응에 있어서 율속단계임을 알았다. Sm-Fe 계의 금속간화합물들의 성장은$ 1000^{\circ}C$이하에서는 $SmFe_2$, $SmFe_3$,$Sm_{2}Fe_{17}$금속간화합물의 3개의 상이 관찰되었으나, $1100^{\circ}C$에서는 $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}$ 금속간화합물의 상만이 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 최종시료의 산소 및 Ca량은 각각 0.72wt% 및 0.11wt%이었다.

The frustrated magnet has been regarded as a system that could be a promising host material for the quantum spin liquid (QSL). However, it is difficult to determine the spin configuration and the corresponding mechanism in this system, because of its geometrical frustration (i.e., crystal structure and symmetry). Herein, we systematically investigate one of the geometrically frustrated magnets, the $TbB_4$ compound. Using resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSXS), we explored its spin configuration, as well as Tb's quadrupole. Comprehensive evaluations of the temperature and photon energy/polarization dependences of the RSXS signals reveal the mechanism of spin reorientation upon cooling down, which is the sophisticated interplay between the Tb spin and the crystal symmetry rather than its orbit (quadrupole). Our results and their implications would further shed a light on the search for possible realization of QSL.

Nickel (Ni) is a kind of the rare earth resources. Since Ni-containing waste is drained after several plating operations in the factories, the effective recycling technique has been expected to be introduced. An actual magnetic separation technique using HTS bulk magnet generating the strong magnetic field has succeeded in collecting the paramagnetic slurry containing Ni-sulphate coarse crystals which were fabricated from the Ni-plating waste. The Ni compound in the collected slurry was identified as NiSO₄/6H₂O, showing slight differences in the particle size and magnetic susceptibility between the samples attracted and not-attract to the magnetic pole. This preferential extraction suggests us a novel recycling method of Ni resource because the compound is capable of recycling back to the plating processes as a raw material.

Rare earth metal Ce has a relatively low melting point and high specific gravity. Because of its significantly high affinity to oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur, it is highly usable as a steel refining agent. However, because Ce compound has relatively high specific gravity, it is difficult to be separated from molten steel through floatation, and it degrades the purity of molten steel, or may clog the nozzle in continuous casting. Such problem may be solved by using an appropriate deoxidation agent together with Ce and settling molten steel sufficiently after refining. Thus a fundamental study in the formation behavior of non-metallic inclusion in Ce added Hyper Duplex STS melts was investigated. The addition amount of Ce, melt temperature were considered as experimental variables. A main non-metallic inclusion in mother alloy is 51(wt%MnO) - 27.6(wt%SiO$_2$)- 10.9(wt%$Cr_2O_3$). Non-metallic inclusion was dramatically decreased and the particle size was fined as the amount of Ce increased. Moreover (%MnO) and (%SiO$_2$) of non-metallic inclusion were decreased. But (%$Al_2O_3$)were relatively increased. The number of non-metallic inclusion were decreased and the large particle size were increased by increasing the temperature of molten steel.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Oligonol, mainly found in lychee fruit, is an antioxidant polyphenolic compound which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. The detailed mechanisms by which oligonol may act as an anti-aging molecule have not been determined. MATERIALS/METHODS: In this study, we evaluated the ability of oligonol to modulate sirtuin (SIRT) expression in human lung epithelial (A549) cells. Oligonol was added to A549 cells and reactive oxygen species production, mitochondrial superoxide formation, and p21 protein levels were measured. Signaling pathways activated upon oligonol treatment were also determined by western blotting. Furthermore, the anti-aging effect of oligonol was evaluated ex vivo in mouse splenocytes and in vivo in Caenorhabditis elegans. RESULTS: Oligonol specifically induced the expression of SIRT1, whose activity is linked to gene expression, metabolic control, and healthy aging. In response to influenza virus infection of A549 cells, oligonol treatment significantly up-regulated SIRT1 expression and down-regulated viral hemagglutinin expression. Oligonol treatment also resulted in the activation of autophagy pathways and the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Furthermore, oligonol-treated spleen lymphocytes from old mice showed increased cell proliferation, and mRNA levels of SIRT1 in the lungs of old mice were significantly lower than those in the lungs of young mice. Additionally, in vivo lethality assay revealed that oligonol extended the lifespan of C. elegans infected with lethal Vibrio cholerae. CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrated that oligonol may act as an anti-aging molecule by modulating SIRT1/autophagy/AMPK pathways.

The traditional yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) used in thermal barrier coatings has a limited operating temperature owing to densification and volume changes at high temperatures. A $(La_{1-x}Y_x)_2Zr_2O_7$ sintered compound was prepared by the co-precipitation and oxalate methods, by adding lanthanum zirconate to yttria. The thermal properties and crystallinity obtained by the two different methods were compared. Both methods yielded pyrochlore structures, and the oxalate method confirmed phases at low temperatures. The thermal conductivity of the sintered bulk prepared by co-precipitation was 0.93 W/mK, while that prepared by the oxalate method was 0.85 W/mK. These values are superior to that of 4YSZ at $1,000^{\circ}C$, which is widely used in industries.

The values of crystalline-electric-field parameters $A_{nm}$ for $RFe_{11}$Ti $H_{x}$ (R=Tb,Ho) (x=0,l) are obtained by fitting calculations to the magnetization curves along the crystal axes at 4.2 K and higher temperatures. The insertion of H element in RFe$_{11}$Ti significantly affects CEF parameters $A_{nm}$ . By using exchange field 2${\mu}$$_{B}$ $H_{ex}$ derived by inelastic neutron scattering and fitted $A_{nm}$ , the calculations reproduce the experimental curves well.

현재까지 알려진 마이크로 레이저 호스트용 물질 중에서 가장 우수한 물리적 특성을 갖고 잇는 LaSc3(BO3)4를 융액 인상법 조건하에서 단결정으로 육성시킬 수 있는 최적 성장조건을 규명하고자 하였다. 우선 LaSc3(B(3)4의 융융특성을 규명하기 위해 DTA에 의해 La(BO3)-Sc(BO3)계의 상평형도를 작성한 결과, 이 2성분계에서 LaSc3(BO3)4는 유일한 중간상(Intermediate phase)이었으며, 용융 전에 1495 ±2℃에서 Sc(BO3)와 융액으로 분리되는 비조화 분해반응(peritectic reaction)을 나타내었다 : LaSc3(BO3)4=Sc(BO3)+melt 히타 및 도가니의 상호관계와 단열 혹은 보온상태를 적절히 조절함으로써, 성장로의 열구조를 단결정 성장에 적합하게 하기 위해 열전대를 애프터히타 최상부로부터 융체 내부까지 상승 또는 하강시키면서 4개의 열 구조에 대해 온도분포와 온도구배를 측정 및 산출하였으며, 장단점을 비교하여 최적 성장조건을 확립하였다. LaSc3(BO3)4는 부조화 용융특성이 있으므로 화학양론적 조성에 La(BO3)를 다소 추가하여 특성 성분의 융액을 만들고, 인상속도를 0.7mm/hr이하, 회전속도는 7-10rpm의 환원조건 하에서 단결정을 성장시킬 수 있었다. 또한 결정성장때, Ir 및 백금 도가니를 사용할 수 있으나, 도가니의 수명은 가열/용융/냉각 주기가 최대 8-10회이다. 실험 결과 배플판 직경 등의 애프터 히타의 구조를 변화시킴으로써, 도가니 상부의 온도를 50-100℃ 증가시키는 것이 가능하였으며, 수직 및 수평적 온도구배는 배플판의 직경에 정비례하여 증감하였고, 특히 수평적 온도구배는 열구조에 의한 의존성이 크다는 것이 확인되었다.

The present investigation aims at visualizing the crack tip stress field using a mechanoluminescence material. The well known compound $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}$ was adopted as a mechanolurninescence material. Two more trivalent rare-earth elements such as Dy and Nd were taken into consideration as codopants to provide the appropriate trap levels. Samples of a variety of compositions were prepared by varing $Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$, and $Nd^{3+}$ doping contents, for which the combinatorial chemistry method was used. In order to search for the optimum composition for the highest mechanoluminescence, the luminescence induced by a compressive device including a CCD camera. In parallel, a compact tension specimen was prepared by mixing the luminescence powders of optimum composition and epoxy resin. Crack initiation from the mechanically machined sharp note tip and its growth during loading were found to be associated with the extent of light emission from $SrAl_2O_4$.
