  • Thickness-dependent magnetic domain structure of ultrathin Co wedge films (0.3 nm-1.0 nm) sandwiched by Pt layers was investigated by scanning transmission x-ray microscopy (STXM) employing X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), utilizing elliptically polarized soft x-rays and electromagnetic fields, with a spatial resolution of 50 nm. The magnetic domain images measured at the Co $L_3$ edge showed the evolution of the magnetic domain structures from maze-like form to the bubble-like form as the perpendicular magnetic field was applied. The asymmetric domain expansion of a 500 nm-scale bubble domain was also measured when the in-plane and perpendicular external magnetic field were applied simultaneously.

  • We report various synchrotron radiation laboratory based techniques used to characterize cement based materials in nanometer scale. High resolution X-ray transmission imaging combined with a rotational axis allows for rendering of samples in three dimensions revealing volumetric details. Scanning transmission X-ray microscope combines high spatial resolution imaging with high spectral resolution of the incident beam to reveal X-ray absorption near edge structure variations in the material nanostructure. Microdiffraction scans the surface of a sample to map its high order reflection or crystallographic variations with a micron-sized incident beam. High pressure X-ray diffraction measures compressibility of pure phase materials. Unique results of studies using the above tools are discussed-a study of pores, connectivity, and morphology of a 2,000 year old concrete using nanotomography; detection of localized and varying silicate chain depolymerization in Al-substituted tobermorite, and quantification of monosulfate distribution in tricalcium aluminate hydration using scanning transmission X-ray microscopy; detection and mapping of hydration products in high volume fly ash paste using microdiffraction; and determination of mechanical properties of various AFm phases using high pressure X-ray diffraction.

  • Whiskers of SiC were grown from the mixture of silica and graphite powders by Acheson method(direct heating method). The structrua, morphological and chemical characterizations have been performed by X-ray diffractometer(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS). The growth mechanism of SiC whiskers is also discussed.

  • Maghemite and hematite nanospheres were synthesized by using the Sol-gel technique. The structural properties of these nanosphere powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and pore size distribution. Hematite phase shows crystalline structures. The mean particle size that resulted from BET and XRD analyses were 4.9 nm and 2 nm. It can be seen from transmission electron microscopy that the size of the particles are very small which is in good agreement with the FESEM and the X-ray diffraction. The BET and pore size method were employed for specific surface area determination.

  • 최근 포항가속기연구소 10A 빔라인에 Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM)가 완성되어 운영 중이다. Soft x-ray imaging 장치로서 기술적으로 Sample scanning 기법이 활용된다. 이는 Zone plate를 통해 집속된 빔이 샘플에 조사되고 검출되는 방식이다. 이러한 Scanning 기법을 활용하고 있는 10A STXM은 기본적으로 흡수분광기법 (x-ray absorption spectroscopy)을 이용하고 있다. 특히, 10A 빔라인 STXM은 최고 20 nm까지 공간분해능이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 따라서 수십에서 수백 나노미터 크기의 시료들 또는 나노구조에 대한 물리화학적 상태 분석이 쉽게 이루어지고 있다. 주로 시료를 투과하면서 흡수되는 X-선 세기 대비를 맵핑하는 형식의 이미지 데이터와 더불어 X-선의 에너지를 조정함으로써 각 에너지에 해당하는 이미지스택을 결과로 얻게 된다. 이러한 이미지 결과로부터 시료의 나노크기에서 오는 물리화학적 상태를 분석하고 물리에서 바이오까지 다양한 분야의 실험 활용이 가능한 상태다.

  • Metal oxide nanostructures have been applied to various fields such as energy, catalysts and electronics. We have freely designed one and two-dimensional (1 and 2-D) metal (transition metals and lanthanides) oxide nanostructures, characterized them using various techniques including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction crystallography, thermogravimetric analysis, FT-IR, UV-visible-NIR absorption, Raman, photoluminescence, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and temperature-programmed thermal desorption (reaction) mass spectrometry. In addition, Ag- and Au-doped metal oxides will be discussed in this talk.

  • Microstructural analysis was conducted to observe the effect of aging treatments in a Cr-Mn austenitic stainless steel containing nitrogen, and the amount, size, shape and distribution of precipitates were investigated. It was found that on water quenching from $1000^{\circ}C$ after holding 3 h at that temperature, the steel contained no precipitates observable by optical microscopy. Precipitation of phases begins at places most favorable for the formation of nuclei-in the boundaries of grains and twins. Precipitates were studied in detail by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Chemical compositions of precipitates were examined by the use of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) together with an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis. Also chromium depletion adjacent to grain boundary precipitates was investigated by the use of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) for a direct examination of the fracture surface chemistry.

  • 리튬염을 포함하는 P(VDF-HFP)계 겔 고분자에 surfactant-assisted templating process로 합성한 메조포러스 ZnS를 충전하여 다양한 ZnS 무게비를 가지는 전해질 필름을 제조하였고 겔 필름의 이온 전도도를 온도에 따라 측정하였다. 그 결과, 대체적으로 ZnS의 함량비가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 특히 20 wt%와 25 wt% ZnS를 포함하는 겔 필름은 상온에서 $10^{-4}Scm^{-1}$의 높은 이온 전도도를 보였다. 하지만 20 wt% 이상의 함량비에서는 더 이상 이온 전도도가 증가하지 않았다. 합성된 메조포러스 ZnS와 겔 전해질 필름의 특성은 XRD(x-ray diffractometer), DSC(differential scanning calorimetry), TGA(thermogravimetric analysis), FT-IR(fourier transform-infrared spectrometer), SEM(scanning electron microscopy), TEM(transmission electron microscopy)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 이온 전도도는 교류 임피던스법에 따라서 승온하면서 측정하였다.

  • A low-cost, green and reproducible citric acid assisted synthesis of nanocrystalline $Al_{0.5}Ag_{0.5}TiO_3$ (n-AAT) powder is reported. X-ray, FTIR, energy dispersive X-ray, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy analyses are performed to ascertain the formation of n-AAT. X-ray diffraction data analysis indicated the formation of monoclinic structure. Spherical shaped particles having the sizes of 3-15 nm are found. The mechanism of nano-transformation for the soft-chemical synthesis of n-AAT has been explained using simple organic chemistry rules and nucleation and growth theory. Dielectric study revealed that AAT ceramic might be a suitable candidate for capacitor applications.
