$TiO_2$films for photocatalytic reaction were synthesized by anodizing process. The photocatalytic efficiencies of anodized $TiO_2$were evaluated by the rate of decomposition of aniline blue. The properties of photocatalysis on anodic $TiO_2$films have been observed, but the efficiencies of photocatalytic reaction depended on the conditions of films formation. The microstructure of the anodic film formed in $H_2SO_4$ solution differed from that of $TiO_2$films formed in $H_2SO_4+H_3PO_4$ solution. It has been shown that the appropriate applied-voltage for anodizing of titanium for photocatalysis was 180V in both aqueous solutions.

Although para-aramid fibers poss higher mechanical properties, they show very low resistance to sunlight exposure. This paper studied on the effect of nano-sol coated $TiO_2$ to improve the photo-stability of p-aramid fibers. Titanium dioxides were prepared by sol-gel method from titanium iso-propoxide at different R ratio ($H_2O$/titanium iso-propoxide). All samples were characterized by XRD, TEM and UV-vis spectrometer. The mechanical properties of p-aramid fabrics by $TiO_2$ nano-sol coating before and after sunlight irradiation were measured with tensile tester. XRD pattern of titanium dioxide particles was observed by mixing phase together with rutile and anatase type. The results showed, after sunlight irradiation, the decreased mechanical properties of the fiber. Furthermore, the sunlight irradiation obviously deteriorated the surface and defected areas of the fiber severely by photo-induced chain scission and end group oxidation in air.

RU02 박막은 전이금속으로서 rutile 구조이며, 넓은 온도 영역에서 금속성의 를 나타내고, 700도 이상의 높은 온도에서 열적 안정성을 갖는 물질이다 이러한 특성 때문 에 RU02 박막은 실리콘 디바이스에서 배선 게이트 전극 확산 장벽 등에 응용가능성이 높 은 물질로 각광을 받고 있다- 특히 다결정 RU02 박막은 DRAM (dynamic random access m memory) 내의 강유전성 축전기의 전극으로서 유망한 물질이다. 지금까지 이러한 응용분야에 사용된 전극물질은 pt 금속이었다 그러나 이러한 금속전극은 SI 산소 그리고 강유전체의 구성물질 등과의 상호확산, pt 표면의 hillock의 존재로 생기는 전기적 단락, 기판과의 나쁜 점작성, 어려운 에칭 프로세스 등의 단점을 가지고 있다 더욱 더 심각한 문제는 P Pt'ferroelectric/Pt 구조에서 나타나는 aging과 fatigue인데, 이는 108 사이쿨 이후에 스위칭 가 능한 잔류 pOlarization 으$\mid$ 감소를 유발하게 된다- 최근 Berstein은 Pt 대신에 RU02를 사용함으로써 강유전체 축전기에서의 fatigue 현상을 크게 감소시켰다고 보고 한 바 있다 Burst川도 RU02 가 실리콘 표면과 유전체 물질 사이에 전기전도 어떠한 상호 확산도 일어나지 않음을 보였다. 그러나 이러한 연구 결과에도 증착조건과 RU02 박악의 특성에 관한 상호 관계가 충분히 더욱 더 중은 강유전성 박막올 만들기 위해서는 이러한 박막 전극에 않고 있다 연구되지 대한 상세한 연구가 반드시 필요하다고 본다.

In this work, we investigated the effect of the oxidation temperature on the unipolar and bipolar resistance switching behaviors of the oxidized TiO-x films. TiOx films on Pt electrodes were fabricated by the oxidation of Ti films at $550^{\circ}C$ for 1 to 3 hours. The unipolar and bipolar resistance switching properties were investigated with the oxidation temperature and time. Also, the crystal structure and the physical properties such as chemical bonding states of TiOx layers were characterized in addition to the resistance switching characteristics. The resistance switching behaviors of TiOx films oxidized at above $450^{\circ}C$ and below $650^{\circ}C$ was shown. So, we investigated that the resistance switching behaviors of TiOx films oxidized at $550^{\circ}C$ with the oxidation time from 1 to 3 hour. The memory windows of unipolar switching in the oxidized TiOx films were reduced with increasing the oxidation time, but those of the bipolar switching were slightly enlarged. The enlargement of rutile TiO2 peak with increasing the oxidation time and temperature was studied by X-ray diffraction. An increase of non-lattice oxygen and Ti3+ in the TiOx films with the oxidation times was investigated by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. It was expected that the uipolar and bipolar resistive switching of the oxidized TiOx film was strongly related with the migration of non-lattice oxygen anions and schottky barrier height, respectively.

Titanium dioxide is a suitable material for industrial use at present and in the future because titanium dioxide has efficient photoactivity, good stability and low cost [1]. Among the three phases (anatase, rutile, brookite) of titanium dioxide, the anatase form is particularly photocatalytically active under ultraviolet (UV) light. In fabrication of photocatalytic devices based on catalytic nanodiodes [2], it is challenging to obtain a photocatalytically active TiO2 thin film that can be prepared at low temperature (< 200$^{\circ}C$). Here, we present the synthesis of a titanium dioxide film using TiO2 nanoparticles and sol-gel methods. Titanium tetra-isopropoxide was used as the precursor and alcohol as the solvent. Titanium dioxide thin films were made using spin coating. The change of atomic structure was monitored after heating the thin film at 200$^{\circ}C$ and at 350$^{\circ}C$. The prepared samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microcopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), and ellipsometry. XRD spectra show an anatase phase at low temperature, 200$^{\circ}C$. UV-vis confirms the anatase phase band gap energy (3.2 eV) when using the photocatalyst. TEM images reveal crystallization of the titanium dioxide at 200$^{\circ}C$. We will discuss the switching behavior of the Pt /sol-gel TiO2 /Pt layers that can be a new type of resistive random-access memory.

HCl concentration, reaction temperature, and $Ti^{4+}$ concentration are the decisive factors in determining the structure of precipitates in the process of synthesis of $TiO_2$ particles from aqueous $TiCl_4$ solution by precipitation and the volumetric proportion of brookite phase in $TiO_2$ particles can be controlled by these factors. Pure brookite-type $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were synthesized by heating the aqueous $TiCl_4$ solution with no more than 1.0 M of $Ti^{4+}$, in which the concentration of HCl was kept in the range of about 2.53~6.41 M during reaction, at the temperature below $70^{\circ}C$ for 20 h. Also, Pure brookite was finally transformed to a rutile phase via an anatase phase through heat-treatment.

Nitrogen doped $TiO_2$ photocatalysts were prepared by ammonia for exploring the visible light photocatalytic activity. To explore the visible light photocatalytic activity of the nitrogen doped $TiO_2$ photocatalyst, the removal of methylene blue dye was investigated under the sunlight. SEM images showed that the flocculated particle sizes of N-doped $TiO_2$ decreased due to the reaction with ammonia. XRD patterns demonstrated that the samples calcined at temperatures up to $600^{\circ}C$ and doped with nitrogen using ammonia clearly showed rutile as well as anatase peaks. The XPS results showed that the nitrogen composition onto $TiO_2$ increased according to the reaction time with ammonia. Photocatalytic activity of the nitrogen doped $TiO_2$ was better than that of undoped $TiO_2$. Nitrogen doping onto the $TiO_2$ also affected the crystal type of $TiO_2$ photocatalyst.

The Keumryeong deposits is a low grade copper deposits in which copper minerals form disseminated grains and thin veinlets in felsic volcanics seem to be dacite. Alteration of the volcanics consists mainly pervasive propylitization and silicification. Potassic alteration characterized by biotite developed locally adjacent to southwestern contact of granodiorite body. Principal sulfide minerals in altered zone are mainly pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite. Chalcopyrite content in potassic zone is relatively higher than that of surrounding propylitized zone. Pyrite and chalcopyrite accompanies magnetite, molybdenite, sphalerite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, pentlandite, marcasite, hematite, ilmenite, rutile, bismuthinite and native Bi as disseminations, veinlets and knots. Granodiorite body is propylitized and contains veinlets of pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite. Fluid inclusions in sulfide-bearing quartz veinlets and quartz grains of felsic volcanics and granodiorite in altered zone consist of liquid-rich, vapor-rich, $CO_2-bearing$ and halite-bearing inclusions. These four types of inclusion intimately associated on a microscopic scale and indicate condensing or boiling of ore fluid during mineralization. Homogenization temperature of coexisting fluid inclusions are mostly in the range of 350 to $450^{\circ}C$. High salinity fluid contains 28.6 to 48.4 weight percent NaCI equivalent and moderate salinity fluid cotains 0.5 to 12.5 weight percent NaCl equivalent. Pressure estimated from $CO_2$ mole fraction of $CO_2-bearing$ inclusion range 160 to 375 bars. The Kigu copper deposits is a fissure filling copper vein developed 500 m south from the Keumryong deposits. Mineralogy and fluid inclusion data of the Kigu deposits are similar to that of the Keumryeong deposits. Homogenization temperature of fluid inclusions from the Kigu deposits are reasonable agreement with temperature estimated from sulfidation curve of cubanite-chalcopyrite-pyrite-pyrrhotite and pyrite-pyrrhotite mineral assemblages. Not only mineral occurrence and wall rock alteration in the Keumryeong deposits but also fluid inclusion data such as temperature, salinity, pressure and boiling evidences are similar to those of porphyry copper deposits.

Statement of problem: Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy is used instead of Ti-6Al-4V alloy that was known to have toxicity. Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the effect of electrolyte concentration on the surface characteristics of anodized and hydrothermally-treated Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy Materials and methods: Discs of Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy of 20 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness were polished sequentially from #300 to 1,000 SiC paper ultrasonically washed with acetone and distilled water for 5 min, and dried in an oven at $50^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. Anodizing was performed at current density $30mA/cm^2$ up to 300 V in electrolyte solutions containing $\beta-glycerophosphate$ disodium salt hydrate $(\beta-GP)$ and calcium acetate (CA). Hydrothermal treatment was conducted by high pressure steam at $300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours using a autoclave. All samples were soaked in the Hanks' solution with pH 7.4 at $36.5^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. Results and conclusion: The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. After hydrothermal treatment, the precipitated HA crystals showed the dense fine needle shape. However, with increasing the concentration of electrolyte they showed the shape of thick and short rod. 2. When the dense fine needle shape crystals was appeared after hydrothermal treatment, the precipitation of HA crystals in Hanks' solution was highly accelerated. 3. The crystal structures of $TiO_2$ in anodic oxide film were composed of strong anatase peak and weak rutile peak as analyzed with thin-film X-ray diffractometery. 4. The Ca/P ratio of the precipitated HA layer was equivalent to that of HA crystal in Hanks' solution.
