Cu(In, Ga)$Se_2$ (CIGS) precursor films were electrodeposited on Mo/glass substrates in acidic solutions containing $Cu^{2+}$, $In^{3+}$, $Ga^{3+}$, and $Se^{4+}$ ions at -0.6 V (SCE) and pH. 1.8. In order to induce recrystallization, the electrodeposited $Cu_{1.00}In_{0.81}Ga_{0.09}Se_{2.08}$ (25.0 at.% Cu + 20.2 at.% In + 2.2 at.% Ga + 52.0 at.% Se) precursor films were annealed under a high Se gas atmosphere for 15, 30, 45, and 60 min, respectively, at $500^{\circ}C$. The Se amount in the film increased from 52 at.% to 62 at.%, whereas the In amount in the film decreased from 20.8 at.% to 9.1 at.% as the annealing time increased from 0 (asdeposited state) to 60 min. These results were attributed to the Se introduced from the furnace atmosphere and reacted with the In present in the precursor films, resulting in the formation of the volatile $In_2Se$. CIGS precursor grains with a cauliflower shape grew as larger grains with the $CuSe_2$ and/or $Cu_{2-x}Se$ faceted phases as the annealing times increased. These faceted phases resulted in rough surface morphologies of the CIGS films. Furthermore, the CIGS layers were not dense because the empty spaces between the grains were not removed via annealing. Uniform thicknesses of the $MoSe_2$ layers occurred at the 45 and 60 min annealing time. This implies that there was a stable reaction between the Mo back electrode and the Se diffused through the CIGS film. The results obtained in the present research were sufficiently different from comparable studies where the recrystallization annealing was performed under an atmosphere of Ar gas only or a low Se gas pressure.

The effects of Se, $CaCO_3$ and CaO addition on the first stage graphization of malleable iron were evaluated. The results obtained in this work were as follows. 1. Many gas bubbles were found in the white cast iron under Se, $CaCO_3$ addition. 2. Nodular graphite were formed by annealing of the white cast iron with remained gas bubbles. 3. When specimens were annealed, bubbles provided the nucleation sites that were needed in graphite precipitation, so the nucleation rate of graphite was increased. 4. The remained gas bubbles and defects were more effective for the graphitization than metallic compounds.

The motive gas of a supersonic ejector is supplied from different sources depending on the application. The performance of an ejector that is represented by the secondary flow pressure, starting and unstarting pressures heavily depends on the molecular properties of the motive gas. The effects of specific heat ratio of the motive gas were investigated experimentally for an axi-symmetric annular injection type supersonic ejector. Both the starting pressure and unstarting pressure, however, decreased with the increase of the specific heat ratio of the motive gas. It was discovered that the secondary flow pressure increased as the specific heat ratio of the motive gas decreased even if the stagnation pressure of the motive flow was invariant. However, when the motive gas flow nozzle area ratio is large enough for the motive gas to be condensed, different tendency was observed.

An analytical method for the simultaneous determination of trace Ge, As and Se in biological samples by inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry has been investigated. The effects of added organic gas into the coolant argon gas on the analyte signal were studied to improve the detection limit, accuracy and precision. The addition of a small amount of methane (10 mL/min.) into the coolant gas channel improved the ionization of Ge, As and Se. The analytical sensitivity of the proposed Ar/CH₄system was superior by at least two-fold to that of the conventional Ar method. In the present method, the detection limits obtained for Ge, As and Se were 0.014, 0.012 and 0.064 ㎍/L, respectively. The analytical reliability of the proposed method was evaluated by analyzing the certified standard reference materials (SRM). Recoveries of 99.9% for Ge, 103% for As, 96.5% for Se were obtained for NIST SRM of freeze dried urine sample. The proposed method was also applied to the biological samples.

This study evaluates a method for quantifying selenium (Se) concentration in soil using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), with oxygen as a reaction gas. This approach addresses the challenge of detecting low levels of Se in complex soil matrices and aims to effectively minimize interference problems typically associated with argon plasma in traditional ICP-MS analyses. The analytical method utilizes conditions optimized for minimizing spectral interference and were validated by linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ). The method demonstrated good linearity, high accuracy (90-97 %), and remarkable sensitivity, achieving detection and quantification limits of 0.15 ㎍/kg and 0.44 ㎍/kg, respectively. Developed analysis method for Se in soil was applied to field samples in the different regions of South Korea and Se concentration ranged from 0.11 to 0.52 mg/kg. Correlation analysis between Se concentration and soil properties showed that Se concentration was significantly correlated with cation exchange capacity (CEC) and available phosphorus among other soil properties.

$Co_3O_4$ thick film gas sensor using the powder prepared by hydrothermal reaction method(HRM) was fabricated. For comparison study, we also prepared the sensor using commercial $Co_3O_4$ powder under the same fabrication conditions. Sensitivity, time response, and selectivity of them to variable gases such as iso-$C_4H_{10}$, CO, $NH_3$, and $CH_4$ were investigated. The sensor from the powder prepared by HRM showed higher sensitivity to every gas than those from commercial powder. For iso-$C_4H_{10}$ gas, the sensitivities of both sensor to 100 ppm are 160 % and 40 %, respectively. Time response and selectivity of the sensor using the powder prepared by HRM were better than those of the sensor using commercial powder.

IC 10 is one of the most well-known irregular starburst dwarf galaxies in the Local Group. Its low metal and oxygen abundance together with proximity make it an excellent laboratory to test star formation models, especially in low-metallicity systems like galaxies in the early Universe as well as many other local dwarfs. Among a number of active star forming regions, we have detected H2O kilo-maser emission in the south-east region of IC 10(IC 10 SE) using the Korean VLBI Network(KVN). This maser line is likely to be associated with a giant molecular cloud identified in IC 10 SE by former CO studies. Using the HI and CO data from the VLA and SMA archive, we probe the atomic and molecular gas properties of IC 10 SE. We discuss how the cool gas morphology and kinematics are related with maser and star formation activity in IC 10 SE.

화산암중의 미량의 Se을 정량하기 위하여 수소화물발생법에 의한 원자 흡수 분광광도법을 이용하여 Se을 정량하였다. 암석시료를 가압형 시료분해 용기에서 $HNO_3$, $HClO_4$, HF로 분해한 후 테프론 증발접시에 옮겨 가열 농축하였다. 그 후에 KBr과 HCl용액을 가하여 가열해서 시료중의 미량 Se을 4가로 환원시킨후 강환원제인 3% $NaBH_4$용액을 첨가하여 생성된 $H_2Se$를 일정류량의 질소로 gas 추출하여 $KMnO_4$용액중에 2회 반복 흡수시키고 이것을 환원기와 원자 흡수 분광광도법에 의하여 정량하였다. 그 결과 2회 gas 추출함으로써 종래에 측정이 곤란하였던 암석중의 극미량의 Se을 정확하게 정량분석할 수 있었다. 예로 화산암중 류문암석을 선택하여 Se을 6회 정량한 결과 확률수준 95%에 있어서 $19.5{\pm}1.3ng/g$의 정도로 정량되었다.

The n-type $(95%Bi_2Te_3-5%Bi_2Se_3)$ compound was newly fabricated by gas atomization and hot extrusion, which is considered to be a mass production technique of this alloy. The effect of powder size on thermoelectric properties of 0.04% $SbI_3$ doped $95%Bi_2Te_3-5%Bi_2Se_3$ alloy were investigated. Seebeck coefficient $({\alpha})$ and Electrical resistivity $(\rho)$ increased with increasing powder size due to the decrease in carrier concentration by oxygen content. With increasing powder size, the compressive strength of $95%Bi_2Te_3-5%Bi_2Se_3$ alloy was increased due to the relative high density. The compound with ${\sim}300\;{\mu}m$ size shows the highest power factor among the four different powder sizes. The rapidly solidified and hot extruded compound using $200[\sim}300{\mu}m$ powder size shows the highest compressive strength.

본 논문은 중소형 규모의 도시고형 폐기물소각시설 배가스의 수은, 납, 비소, 셀렌과 같은 휘발성중금속의 방출특성을 조사하는데 있다. 대체로, 소형 도시고형 폐기물소각시설에서 배출되는 수은, 납, 비소, 셀렌이 중형 소각시설에서 배출되는 것 보다 높게 나타났다. 이는 중형소각시설에 비하여 소형소각시설의 빈약한 대기오염제어장치의 가동과 높은 배가스 온도에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 중소형 소각시설의 배가스 온도는 2개의 온도그룹으로 나누어지는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 첫 번째 온도그룹은 대략 $100^{\circ}C$이고, 두 번째 온도그룹은 $400{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ 정도였다. 2번째 그룹에서의 배가스 중 수은, 납, 비소, 셀렌은 각각 $70.43\;{\mu}g/Sm^3$, $0.94\;{\mu}g/Sm^3$, $9.83\;{\mu}g/Sm^3$, $5.05\;{\mu}g/Sm^3$였다. 첫 번째 온도그룹에서 배가스의 수은, 납, 비소 셀렌은 두 번째 온도그룹의 것보다 낮은 특징을 가지고 있다. 한편, 중형소각시설에서의 수은제거효율은 $55.16{\sim}95.89%$로 나타났다. 이러한 수은의 감소는 폐열보일러의 온도저감이 기여를 하고 있었다. 상기 결과로, 중소형 소각시설에서 휘발성 중금속 제어에 중요한 역할을 하는 것은 배가스의 온도가 큰 역할을 한다. 따라서, 휘발성 중금속의 제거효율을 개선하기 위해서는, 냉각시스템의 온도가 제어되고 대기오염제어장치가 잘 운영되어야 한다.
