We investigated the hydrochemical properties of ChusanYongchulso Spring located in Buk-myeon, Ulleung Island, focusing on the formation and characteristics of aquifers in and around the Nari caldera. Abundant pumice with high permeability and numerous fractures (including faults and joints) that formed as a result of caldera subsidence are widely distributed in the subsurface, favoring the formation of aquifers. Because of the presence of porous pyroclastic rocks with a high internal surface area, the water type of the springs is characterized by $NaHCO_3$, with upper stream waters and the upper spring being characterized by $NaHCO_3$ and NaCl, respectively. Components with a high coefficient of determination with EC are $HCO_3$, Na, F, Ca, Mg, Cl, $SiO_2$, and $SO_4$. The high concentrations of Na and Cl might be attributable to the main lithologies in the area, given that alkaline volcanic rocks are distributed extensively across Ulleung Island. Eh and pH, which are considered to be important indicators of water-rock interaction, are unrelated to most components. According to the results obtained from factor analysis, the variance explained by factor 1 is 54% and by factor 2 is 25.8%. Components with a high loading on factor 1 are F, Na, EC, Cl, $HCO_3$, $SO_4$, $SiO_2$, Ca, $NO_3$, and Mg, whereas components with a high loading on factor 2 are Mg and Ca, along with K, $NO_3$, and DO with negative loadings. It is suggested that the high concentrations of Na, Cl, F, and $SO_4$ are closely related to the presence of fine-grained alkaline pyroclastic rocks with high permeability and porosity, which favorintensewater-rock interaction. However, a wide-ranging investigation that encompasses methods such as geophysical prospecting and geochemical analysis (including isotope, trace-element, and tracer techniques) will be necessary to gain a better understanding of the groundwater chemistry, aquifer distribution, and water cycling of Ulleung Island.

국제핵융합실험로(ITER)는 2020년경에 제작 설치가 완료될 예정이다. 이 장치에 한국도 시험블랑켓 모듈(Test Blanket Module: TBM)을 장착할 예정이다. 한국은 ITER 참여국 중 유일하게 지름 1 mm의 흑연 페블에 SiC를 코팅한 중성자 반사 재료를 채택한 것이 특징이다. 중성자 반사재료를 이용하게 되면 독성이 강한 중성자 증배재인 Be의 양을 줄일 수 있다. SiC 코팅은 여러 가지 방법이 알려져 있지만, 지름 1 mm 내외의 흑연 페블에 SiC를 골고루 코팅하기 위해서는 여러 가지 기술이 가미되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 CVD 및 CVR법을 이용해 SiC를 코팅했으며, CVD의 경우 전구체 물질로 $CH_3SiCl_3$가 사용되었으며, 캐리어 가스로는 $H_2$를 사용했다. 그리고 CVR에서는 평균입도 10 ${\mu}m$의 $SiO_2$를 사용했으며, $1,750^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 노출시켰다. 이렇게 얻어진 SiC 코팅은 XRD, EDS, FE-SEM 등을 활용한 여러 가지 분석으로 확인할 수 있었다.

A rhodamine B-based fluorescent probe for nitrite ion ($NO{_2}^-$) has been designed, synthesized, characterized and its properties for recognition of $NO{_2}^-$ were studied. Nearly non fluorescent probe upon reaction with nitrite ion significantly triggered the fluorescence. Fluorescence response is based on ring opening of the spirolactam of rhodamine B phenyl hydrazide showing maximum absorbance at 552 nm and maximum emission at 584 nm. Probe 3 exhibited high sensitivity and extreme selectivity for nitrite ion over other common ions and oxidants ($Cl^-$, $ClO^-$, $ClO{_2}^-$, $ClO{_3}^-$, $ClO{_4}^-$, $SO{_4}^{2-}$, $SiO{_3}^{2-}$, $NO{_3}^{2-}$, $CO{_3}^{2-}$) examined in methanol water (1:1, v/v) at pH 7.0. The probe might be a new efficient tool for detection of nitrite ion in natural water and biological system.

Diopside (CaMgSi₂O₆) is known to have high bioactivity as well as excellent mechanical properties. In this study, we tried to improve the bioactivity of zirconia ceramics by surface coating of diopside and its bioactivity was investigated through an in vitro test. Surface coating on zirconia substrate was prepared by sol-gel method using a diopside sol which was prepared by dissolving Ca(NO₃)₂·4H₂O, MgCl₂·6H₂O and Si(OC₂H₅)₄ in ethanol with a fixed molar ratio and then hydrolysis. To examine the bioactivity of diopside coating, we examined the surface dissolution and the precipitation of new hydroxyapatite particles through in vitro test in SBF (Simulated Body Fluid) solution. Dense and thick diopside coating layers could be fabricated on zirconia substrate by sol-gel method. Also, we confirmed that they contained high bioactivity from the in vitro test, indicated the precipitation of hydroxyapatite particles after the 14 days immersion in SBF solution. In addition, we checked that the bioactivity of diopside coated layers was dependent on the repeated coating cycle and coating thickness.

An ERD-TOF system is constructed for the nondestructive depth profiling of light elements in thin films in the range of several thousand angstroms. The particles, recoiled by 10 $MeV^{35}Cl$ projectiles, were detected by a Time-Of-Flight spectrometer composed of a MCP (Micro Channel Plate) and a SSB (Silicon Surface Barrier) detector. A two parameter data acquisition system composed of two PC's was constructed for registering simultaneous time and energy signals. A $Si_3N_4$/poly-Si/$SiO_2$/Si sample was anlayzed and the result is compared with RBS. The detection limit, maximum probable depth and depth resolution for light elements in silicon are about $4\times10^{14}atoms/\textrm{cm}^2$, 5, 000$\AA$ and 100$\AA$, respectively.

저항이 5$\Omega$-cm인 n-type Si(100) 웨이퍼를 실리콘 식각시 마스크로 사용하기 위하여 습식 열산화법을 이용하여 100$0^{\circ}C$에서 SiO2을 2400$\AA$ 성장시킨 후, OPCVD 공정을 통해 785$^{\circ}C$서 SiH2Cl2 가스 30sccm과 NH3가스 100sccm을 이용하여 Si3N4를 3000$\AA$ 증착시켰다. 이 웨이퍼를 포토-리쏘그라피 공정을 거쳐 지름 2$\mu\textrm{m}$의 포토레지스트 패턴을 제작한 후 600W의 RF power하에서 CF4 가스 10sccm, CHF3 가스 15sccm, O2가스 8sccm 및 Ar가스 10sccm을 이용하여 MERIE 방법으로 Si3N4를 식각한 다음, 7:1 BHF 용액내에서 30초간의 습식식각을 통해 40wt.%의 KOH 용액내에 8$0^{\circ}C$에서 30초간의 이방성 식각을 통해 피라미드 모양의 Si FEA(field emitter array)를 제작하였다. 본 실험은 다음과 같이 완성된 Si FEA를 샤프닝 산화 후 산화막 식각을 통해 마스크를 제거한 다음, tip의 열화학적 내구성을 증가시키고 장시간 구동시 안정성과 전계방출 전류밀도를 높이기 위해 tip의 표면에 Ti를 sputter 방법으로 약 300$\AA$ 증착시킨 후, RTA 장비를 이용하여 2단계 열처리 (first annealing:$600^{\circ}C$/30sec, second annealing : 85$0^{\circ}C$/15sec)를 통해 Si FEA의 경우보다 낮은 turn-on 전압과 높은 전계방출 특성을 나타낼 것으로 기대된다.

[ $Zn_{2(1-x)}Mn_xSiO_4$ ]$0.07{\leq}x{\leq}0.15$) green phosphor was prepared by solid state reaction. The first heating was at $900^{\circ}C-1250^{\circ}C$ in air for 3 hours and the second heating was at $900^{\circ}C$ in $N_2/H_2$(95%/5%) for 2 hours. The size effect of $SiO_2$ in forming $Zn_2SiO_4$ was investigated. The temperature for obtaining single phase $Zn_2SiO_4$ was lowered from $1100^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$ by decreasing the $SiO_2$ particle size from micro size to submicro size. The effect of the activators for the Photoluminescence (PL) intensity of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ was also investigated. The PL intensity properties of the phosphors were investigated under vacuum ultraviolet excitation (147 nm). The emission spectrum peak was between 520 nm and 530 nm, which was involved in green emission area. $MnCl_2{\cdot}4H_2O$, the activator source, was more effective in providing high emission intensity than $MnCO_3$. The optimum conditions for the best optical properties of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ were at x = 0.11 and $1100^{\circ}C$. In these conditions, the phosphor particle shape was well dispersed spherical and its size was 200 nm.

Chemical and isotopic analysis for stream water, shallow groundwater, intermediate groundwater and deep groundwater was carried out to grasp hydrogeochemical characteristics of groundwater in the Heunghae area, Pohang city. Water type of stream water and shallow groundwaters is typified as Ca-Cl type, intermediate groundwater is $Na-HCO_3$, and deep groundwater is prominent in Wa-Cl type. $HCO_3^-\;and\;SiO_2$ in shallow groundwater are originated from weathering of silicate minerals, whereas those of deep groundwaters are resulted from weathering of carbonate minerals. Ca and Mg ions in both shallow and deep groundwaters are resulted from weathering of calcite and dolomite. $SO_4^{2-}$ in shallow groundwater is originated mainly from pyrite oxidation. As well depth increases, pH and TDS increase, but Eh and DO decrease. Alkali metal contents(K, Na, Li) increases as well depth increases, but alkali earth metal(Mg, Ca) and hi concentrations increase as well depth decreases. Anions, halogen elements(F, Cl, Br), and $HCO_3$ contents increase as well depth increases. The average stable isotope value of the groundwater of each depth is as follows; deep groundwater: ${\delta}^{18}O=-10.1\%o,\;{\delta}D=-65.8\%_{\circ}$, intermediate groundwater: ${\delta}^{18}O=-8.9\%_{\circ},\;{\delta}D=-59.6\%_{\circ}$, shallow groungwater : ${\delta}^{18}O=-8.0\%_{\circ},\;{\delta}D=-53.6\%_{\circ}$, surface water : ${\delta}^{18}O=-7.9\%_{\circ},\;{\delta}D=-53.3\%_{\circ}$ respectively.

A series of $TiO_2-SiO_2$catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation from the mixed solution of titanium tetrachloride and sodium silicate. Some of the samples were treated with 1N $H_2SO_4$ and used as modified catalysts. The catalytic activities of modified catalysts were higher than those of unmodified catalysts, and the effect of modification on the catalytic activity was higher for 2 - propanol dehydration than for cumene dealkylation. The catalytic activity of unmodified catalysts was correlated with their acid amount for the above two reactions. As $TiO_2-SiO_2$ catalysts had relatively large amount of weak acid sites and small amount of strong acid sites, the catalytic activity for 2 - propanol dehydration was higher than that for cumene dealkylation. The effect of modification on catalytic activity increased with increasing $TiO_2$content of the catalysts. Actually, $92-TiO_2-SiO_2/SO_4{^2}$had the highest increment in catalytic activity and $10-TiO_2-SiO_2/SO_4{^2}$had the lowest increment for the 2 - propanol dehydration.
