This investigates the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al hybrid material prepared by electromagnetic duo-casting to determine the effect of heat treatment. The hybrid material is composed of an Al-Mg-Si alloy, pure Al and the interface between the Al-Mg-Si alloy and pure Al. It is heat-treated at 373, 573 and 773K for 1h and T6 treated (solution treatment at 773K for 1h and aging at 433K for 5h). As the temperature increases, the grain size of the Al-Mg-Si alloy in the hybrid material increases. The grain size of the T6 treated Al-Mg-Si alloy is similar to that of one heat-treated at 773K for 1h. The interface region where the micro-hardness becomes large from the pure Al to the Al-Mg-Si alloy widens with an increasing heat temperature. The hybrid material with a macro-interface parallel to the tensile direction experiences increased tensile strength, 0.2 % proof stress and the decreased elongation after T6 heat treatment. On the other hand, in the vertical direction to the tensile direction, there is no great difference with heat treatment. The bending strength of the hybrid material with a long macro-interface to the bending direction is higher than that with a short macro-interface, which is improved by heat treatment. The hybrid material with a long macro-interface to the bending direction is fractured by cracking through the eutectic structure in the Al-Mg-Si alloy. However, in the hybrid material with a short macro-interface, the bending deformation is observed only in the limited pure Al.

Alumina matrix composites reinforced with up to 20vol% of aligned SiC whiskers were fabricated by tape casting and hot pressing. Alumina composited with randomly distribution SiC whiskers were also fabricated in order to investigate the effect of whisker alignment on properties of the composites. XRD and optical microscopy were used to examine the whisker orientation. The fracture toughness increased with increasing whisker content, and it was higher in the direction normal to the tape casting direction.

Sliding wear test was employed to determine the effect of whisker content and orientation on the firiction and wear behavior of SiC whisker reinforced alumina. Composites containing unidirectionally oriented whiskers were prepared by a modified tape casting followed by lamination, binder removal and hot pressing in order to align the whiskers in the tape casting direction. Wear coefficients on three directions were measured; parallel and normal to the tape casting direction on the tape casting surface and normal to lamination direction on surfnce normal to the tape casting direction. In the effect of whisker orientation, the highest wear rate was obtained in the direction parallel tape casting direction and the lowest in the direction normal to lamination direction at all temperatures. Silicon oxide layer amoothing the surface was detected by energy dispersive X-ray analysis on the worn surface.

An epitaxial $\beta-FeSi_2$ structure on Si (001) substrate was calculated by using density functional theory (DFT). Unit cell of orthorhombic $\beta-FeSi_2$ and $\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{2}\times2$ supercell were calculated to find the energetically favorable structures first. The $\chi$- and y-direction axes of $\beta-FeSi_2$ were changed into y- and z-direction axes to match its structure with that of Si, to minimize the lattice mismatch between $\beta-FeSi_2$ and Si. Distance between the Si (001) surface and the $\beta-FeSi_2$ surface was varied to find an optimum distance between them, resulting in 0.825 $\AA$.

We have prepared 1-D BiSI and 2-D BiOI nanostructures, and characterized them by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction crystallography, thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry, and UV-visible absorption. Here, we first report clear HR-TEM image of BiSI. In addition, we first found that the growth direction of BiSI is [12-1] plane, with the neighboring distance of 0.30 nm. The crystal structures of BiSI and BiOI are found to be orthorhombic (Pnam) and tetragonal (P4/nmm), respectively. The absorption band gaps of BiSI and BiOI are measured to be 1.55 and 1.92 eV, respectively. Our study could further highlight the applications of V-VI-VII compounds.

Al-Si alloy powder produced by the gas atomizer showed fine eutectic structure between ${\alpha}-dendrites$, that was grown by coupled growth, and there remained small amount of ${\alpha}$ in Al - 20 wt% Si alloy. The morphology of Si in the eutectic structure was largely influenced by the recalescence caused by solidification latent heat, and that was thought to be due to decrement of the surface energy of Si. In modified eutectic Si by rapid solidification, fine twin about $0.01\;{\mu}m$ was observed and growth direction of eutectic Si was <112>. This fact implied that the growth mechanism of eutectic Si in rapid solidification was related to TPRE mechanism. Due to rapid solidification Si was soluble in ${\alpha}-phase$ in Al - 12.6wt%Si alloy up to about 3.4wt%, and the solubility of Si in ${\alpha}-phase$ reaches the equilibrium solubility stare after 60min, holding when it was held isothermally at $253-296^{\circ}C$.

Gas pressure sintered silicon nitride based composites with 3 wt% $\beta$-Si3N4 whiskers were prepared and change of properties according to the whisker orientation and sintering temperature was studied. The tapes with whiskers were fabricated by two different method ; conventional tape casting and a modified tape casting by using guide pins,. Orientations of the whiskers were controlled by different stacking sequences of the sheets cut from the tape. Samples were fully densified by gas pressure sintering at 2148-2273K. As the sintering temperature increased size of the large elongated grains increased. In case of unidirectional samples sintering shrinkage normal to the whisker alignment direction was larger than that of parallel to the direction and the shrinkage anisotropy increased slightly as sintering temperature increased. As sintering temperature increased the crack length parallel to whisker alignment direction became shorter but that normal to the direction did not depend on sintering temperature. In case of cross-plied samples the anisotropy of mechanical properties disappeared.

본 연구의 목적은 토모테라피(Hi-ArtII, TomoTherapy, USA) 치료 시 Bodyfix system (Medical Intelligence, Ele-kta, Schwabmuchen, Germany)에서 진공압박(Vacuum compression)에 따라 환자 위치잡이오차(Patient's setup-errors)를 평가하고자 하였다. Bodyfix system와 진공압박을 적용한 토모테라피를 이용하여 치료를 시행한 흉복부 환자 21명을 선정하였으며, 모든 환자는 치료 전 촬영된 총 477개의 메가볼테이지 전산화단층촬영(Mega-voltage computed tomography, MVCT)영상을 얻었다. 이를 통하여 확인된 좌우방향(Medial-Lateral direction, ML), 앞뒤방향(Anterior-Posterior direction, AP), 상하방향(Superior-Inferior direction, SI)과 SI중심축 회전각(Rotational angle of SI axis direction, Roll)에 대한 오차를 기록하고, 분석하였다. 세 방향 및 Roll에 대한 상관관계와 진공압박 정도가 다르게 적용된 다섯 그룹에 대하여 setup-errors를 분석하기 위해 각각 Pearson's product-moment coefficient와 One-way ANOVA를 이용하여 통계적으로 분석하였다(p<0.05). 분석결과 Systematic errors의 평균은 AP에서 6.00 mm, 표준편차는 SI에서 5.95 mm로 큰 오차를 보였다. Random errors의 평균은 SI방향에서 4.72 mm로 큰 오차가 발생하였다. 관계분석에서는 상관계수가 ML-Roll과 AP-Vector는 0.485, 0.244이고, SI-Vector에서 관계가 제일 높았다(0.637). 또한, 진공압박 정도가 다르게 적용된 다섯 그룹(Pressure range: 30~70 mbar) 사이의 setup errors를 분석한 결과 ML, SI방향과 Roll에서 모두 p=0.00 (p<0.05)로써 유의한 차이를 보였으며, SI방향에서 진공압박에 따른 오차 평균은 40 mbar과 70 mbar그룹에서 4.78 mm, -0.74 mm였다. 본 연구에서는 진공압박과 setup-errors의 평가를 통계적으로 분석하였으며, 압박 정도에 따라 SI방향에서 setup-errors의 차이를 확인하였다. 최종적으로 setup-errors와 내부장기의 움직임을 고려하자면 Bodyfix system을 이용한 진공압박을 적용시 최소 50 mbar 이상을 사용해야 할 것이다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 진공압박의 정확성과 내부장기 및 종양의 움직임을 정량적으로 분석할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

The computational fourier-transform moire (CFTM) method has been briefly explained and this method was used to perform strain analysis of a misfit dislocation in a strained $Si/Si_{0.55}Ge_{0.45}$ layer. An essential advantage of the CFTM method is that it does not require unwrapping, such that errors due to improper unwrapping can be excluded. The analysis results revealed that the Si layer was grown with tensile stress on $Si_{0.55}Ge_{0.45}$ and lattice constant of the Si layer along the growth direction was 1.9% smaller than that of $Si_{0.55}Ge_{0.45}$. On the other hand, strain of the misfit dislocation in the strained $Si/Si_{0.55}Ge_{0.45}$ layer was maximum at the dislocation core due to an extra half-plane and the $e_{xx}$ and $e_{yy}$ values were positive and negative, respectively, along the direction of a burgers vector.

Molecular dynamic simulations on the structural evolution of the Si(001) vicinal surfaces, which are tilted with respect to [100] and [110] directions were performed by using the empirical Tersoff potential. Tersoff potential was implemented at LAMMPS code and confirmed to describe the properties of Si. When the steps are generated along [100] direction, symmetric dimer rows formed with respect to the step edges. On the other hand, when the steps are generated along [110] direction, alternating dimer rows form with respect to the step edges. The configurational differences between the two vicinal surfaces were discussed in terms of the surface diffusion and the possibility of preventing step bunching for the (001) vicinal surface tilted along [100] direction was suggested.
