Isotopic analysis using thermal ionization mass spectrometry coupled with scanning electron microscopy (SEM-TIMS) was performed to determine the isotopic ratios of uranium contained in micro-particles in the 6th Nuclear Signatures Interlaboratory Measurement Evaluation Programme (NUSIMEP-6) sample. Elemental analysis by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was conducted on uranium-bearing mirco-particles, which were transferred to rhenium filaments for TIMS loading using a micromanipulation system in a SEM. A multi-ion-counter system was utilized to detect the ion signals of the four isotopes of uranium simultaneously. The isotope ratios of uranium corrected by bracketing using a reference material showed excellent agreement with the certified values. The measurement accuracy for $n(^{234}U)/n(^{238}U)$ and (b) $n(^{235}U)/n(^{238}U)$ was 10% and 1%, respectively, which met the requirements for qalification for the NetWork of Analytical Laboratories (NWAL).

Two Si wafers are bonded with indium-silver alloy using diffusion bonding method. When silver and indium thin films are contacted, they diffuse into each other and form inter-metallic compounds like $AgIn_2$, $Ag_2In$, $Ag_3In$ etc. These compounds are determined by ratio of two metals. From phase diagram of Ag-In alloy, we can get the ratio of $Ag_2In$, that has high melting point about 700$^{\circ}C$, approximately 2:1. This ratio was made by controlling of film thickness. And bonding was executed by annealing and adding pressures at a time. The joint of these wafers had been observed by SEM. And we had also seen the EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) data to analysis the component of samples.

Objectives: This study aimed to introduce the use of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for evaluation of the mineral content of root canal dentin, and to assess whether a correlation exists between LIBS and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) methods by comparing the effects of irrigation solutions on the mineral content change of root canal dentin. Materials and Methods: Forty teeth with a single root canal were decoronated and longitudinally sectioned to expose the canals. The root halves were divided into 4 groups (n = 10) according to the solution applied: group NaOCl, 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) for 1 hour; group EDTA, 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for 2 minutes; group NaOCl+EDTA, 5.25% NaOCl for 1 hour and 17% EDTA for 2 minutes; a control group. Each root half belonging to the same root was evaluated for mineral content with either LIBS or SEM/EDS methods. The data were analyzed statistically. Results: In groups NaOCl and NaOCl+EDTA, the calcium (Ca)/phosphorus (P) ratio decreased while the sodium (Na) level increased compared with the other groups (p < 0.05). The magnesium (Mg) level changes were not significant among the groups. A significant positive correlation was found between the results of LIBS and SEM/EDS analyses (r = 0.84, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Treatment with NaOCl for 1 hour altered the mineral content of dentin, while EDTA application for 2 minutes had no effect on the elemental composition. The LIBS method proved to be reliable while providing data for the elemental composition of root canal dentin.

Objectives: The Korean Industrial Standard (KS) for sterile acupuncture needles was established in 2009 based on research on the quality control of acupuncture needles. We aimed to determine the quality of acupuncture needles available in South Korea in 2021 by examining their surface condition and chemical composition using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Methods: In South Korea, there are 23 brands of acupuncture needles, and we examined 10-15 needles from each brand, resulting in a total of 285 needles. The microstructures of the needles were assessed by SEM. Using SEM images, we evaluated the acupuncture needle tips for the following defects/aspects: scratches, lumps, detached coating, bent tip, and tip sharpness. EDS was used to determine the chemical composition of the selected acupuncture needles. Results: Overall, 88.4% of 285 needles were found to have at least one type of abnormality. The most frequently observed abnormalities were scratches and dents on the surface (68.1%), followed by detached coating (63.2%), and lumps (61.8%); blunt tips were observed in about 24% of them. Of 252 needles with at least one defect, 86.9% had two or more types of defects. The ratio of the number of needles with any defect to that of needles without any defect varied among brands, ranging from 50% to 100%. Regarding foreign materials, higher proportions of Si and O were observed on the needles, indicating incomplete or detached silicone coating. Conclusion: The quality of acupuncture needles varied among brands, suggesting that further improvements can be made through various inspection methods.

외부 환경에 노출된 철제문화재는 환경오염요인에 직접적으로 영향을 받아 부식에 취약하다. 특히 철제유물에 있어서 활성부식을 일으키는 염화이온($Cl^-$)은 반드시 제거되어야 하지만 옥외 철제문화재는 유물의 특성상 탈염의 대상에서 제외되고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 조선시대 철비를 대상으로 보존처리 및 탈염실험을 실시하였으며, 탈염은 흡습지를 이용한 탈염방법과 기존의 침적탈염방법을 함께 실시하여 그 효율성을 비교하였다. 탈염의 평가는 실체 금속 현미경, SEM-EDS, pH측정과 이온크로마토그래피(IC), XRD분석을 통하여 알아보았다. 실체 금속현미경으로 조사된 결과 부식은 층을 이루고 있으며 금속조직은 백주철로 확인된다. 또한 탈염 전 부식물에 대한 SEM-EDS분석결과 Fe와 O가 주로 검출되었으며 특히 Cl이 2.48wt%까지 측정되었다. 탈염용액에 대한 pH와 음이온을 분석한 결과에서는 흡습지를 이용한 탈염방법도 침적탈염방법과 유사한 탈염효과를 볼 수 있었다. 마지막으로 탈염 전 후 부식물에 대한 XRD분석 결과 탈염전에는 goethite, magnetite, lepidocrocite와 akaganeite가 검출되었으나 탈염 후에는 akaganeite가 검출되지 않아 흡습지를 이용한 탈염의 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로 본 연구를 통하여 흡습지를 이용한 탈염방법에서도 기존의 침적탈염방법과 유사한 탈염효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study compared the surface hardness (Vickers) and microstructural characteristics between a type IV stone with and without die hardening treatment, a polyurethane die material. Methods: Materials used were a type IV stone(MG Crystal Rock), two die hardeners (Hardening bath, Epox-it), and a polyurethane resin material(Polyluck). Six specimens per group were prepared according to manufacturer's directions. The prepared specimens were tested by means of hardness test, one-way ANOVA analysis, scanning electron microscopic(SEM) observations and energy dispersive spectroscopic(EDS) analysis. Results: In the hardness test and its statistical analysis, there was no significant difference in the surface hardness between a type IV stone and type IV stone with die hardener coating, type IV stone mixed with an epoxy like material instead of water. In contrast, polyurethane resin material exhibited significantly greater surface hardness than other specimen groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: By considering the results of the hardness test, SEM observations and EDS analysis, although the die hardeners on type IV stone did not show remarkable improvement in surface hardness, the die hardener coating on the surface of type IV stone material did show decrease of microporous and improvement of surface defects.
