Hafnium oxide ($HfO_2$) attracted by one of the potential candidates for the replacement of si-based oxides. For applications of the high-k gate dielectric material, high thermodynamic stability and low interface-trap density are required. Furthermore, the amorphous film structure would be more effective to reduce the leakage current. To search the gate oxide materials, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors was fabricated by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass with different oxygen pressures (30 and 50 mTorr) at room temperature, and they were deposited by Au/Ti metal as the top electrode patterned by conventional photolithography with an area of $3.14\times10^{-4}\;cm^2$. The results of XRD patterns indicate that all films have amorphous phase. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images show that the thickness of the $HfO_2$ films is typical 50 nm, and the grain size of the $HfO_2$ films increases as the oxygen pressure increases. The capacitance and leakage current of films were measured by a Agilent 4284A LCR meter and Keithley 4200 semiconductor parameter analyzer, respectively. Capacitance-voltage characteristics show that the capacitance at 1 MHz are 150 and 58 nF, and leakage current density of films indicate $7.8\times10^{-4}$ and $1.6\times10^{-3}\;A/cm^2$ grown at 30 and 50 mTorr, respectively. The optical properties of the $HfO_2$ films were demonstrated by UV-VIS spectrophotometer (Scinco, S-3100) having the wavelength from 190 to 900 nm. Because films show high transmittance (around 85 %), they are suitable as transparent devices.

Equilibrium concentrations of major elements in an underground repository with a capacity of 100,000 drums have been simulated using the geochemical computer code (EQMOD). The simulation has been carried out at the conditions of pH 12 to 13.5, and Eh 520 and -520 mV. Solubilities of magnesium and calcium decrease with the increase of pH. The solubility of iron increases with pH at Eh -520 mV of reducing environment while it almost entirely exists as the precipitate of Fe(OH)$_3$(s) at Eh 520 mV of oxidizing environment. All of cobalt and nickel are predicted to be dissolved in the liquid phase regardless of pH since the solubility limit is greater than the total concentration. In the case of cesium and strontium, all forms of both ions are present in the liquid phase because they have negligible sorption capacity on cement and large solubility under disposal atmosphere. And thus the total concentration determines the equilibrium concentration. Adsorbed amount of iodide and carbonate are dependent on adsorption capacity and adsorption equilibrium constant. Especially, the calcite turns out to be a solubility-limiting phase on the carbonate system. In order to validate the model, the equilibrium concentrations measured for a number of systems which consist of iron, cement, synthetic groundwater and radionuclides are compared with those predicted by the model. The concentrations between the model and the experiment of nonadsorptive elements cesium, strontium, cobalt nickel and iron, are well agreed. It indicates that the assumptions and the thermodynamic data in this work are valid. Using the adsorption equilibrium constant as a free parameter, the experimental data of iodide and carbonate have been fitted to the model. The model is in a good agreement with the experimental data of the iodide system.

본 연구에서는 압축공기에너지 지하저장을 위한 복공식 암반공동의 기밀성능을 평가할 목적으로 다상유체 열유동 해석을 수행하였다. 기밀성능은 저장공동으로부터 누출되는 공기질량으로 평가하였으며, 저장공동 내부에 콘크리트 라이닝 기밀시스템을 설치하고 저장공동은 비교적 천심도인 지하 100m 심도에 위치하는 것으로 가정하였다. 저장공동 내 질량수지분석 결과, 콘크리트 라이닝 및 주변 암반의 투과계수가 누기량 및 저장공동의 장기적 기밀성능에 미치는 영향이 큰 것으로 파악되었으며 콘크리트 라이닝의 투과계수가 $1.0{\times}10^{-18}\;m^2$이하 일 경우, 저장공동 운영압력이 5 MPa에서 8 MPa 사이일 때 누기량은 1%이하 인 것으로 계산되었다. 또한, 콘크리트 라이닝의 초기포화도에 따른 공기누출량 계산결과, 라이닝 수분포화도를 증가시킬수록 누기량은 감소하고 저장공동 기밀성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

입상활성탄에 의한 아마란스 염료의 흡착특성을 회분식 실험을 통해 조사하였다. 아마란스 염료의 흡착동력학적 연구는 298, 308, 318 K에서 초기농도 100, 200, 300 mg/L의 수용액을 가지고 수행하였다. 입상활성탄에 의한 아마란스 염료의 흡착 평형관계는 298K에서 Langmuir 등온식이 잘 적용되었다. 유사일차반응속도식과 유사이차반응속도식을 사용하여 동력학 실험값을 평가한 결과, 유사이차반응속도식이 더 잘 맞았으며, 속도상수($k_2$) 값은 아마란스 초기농도 100, 200, 300 mg/L 에 대해 각각 0.1076, 0.0531 및 0.0309 g/$mg{\cdot}h$로 조사되었다. 활성화에너지, 표준엔탈피, 표준엔트로피 및 표준자유에너지를 평가하였다. 조사된 표준자유에너지값은 초기농도 200 mg/L 에서 -5.08 ~ -8.10 kJ/mol로 자발적인 공정임을 알 수 있었다. 엔탈피변화량이 양의 값인 38.89 kJ/mol을 나타내어 활성탄에 대한 아마란스 염료의 흡착이 흡열반응으로 일어난다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this article, we develop a reactive distillation (RD) column configuration for the production of hydrogen. This RD column is in the HI decomposition section of the sulphur - iodine (SI) thermochemical cycle, in which HI decomposition and H₂ separation take place simultaneously. The section plays a major role in high hydrogen production efficiency (that depends on reaction conversion and separation efficiency) of the SI cycle. In the column simulation, the rigorous thermodynamic phase equilibrium and reaction kinetic model are used. The tuning parameters involved in phase equilibrium model are dependent on interactive components and system temperature. For kinetic model, parameter values are adopted from the Aspen flowsheet simulator. Interestingly, there is no side reaction (e.g., solvation reaction, electrolyte decomposition and polyiodide formation) considered aiming to make the proposed model simple that leads to a challenging prediction. The process parameters are determined on the basis of optimal hydrogen production as reflux ratio = 0.87, total number of stages = 19 and feeding point at 8th stage. With this, the column operates at a reasonably low pressure (i.e., 8 bar) and produces hydrogen in the distillate with a desired composition (H₂ = 9.18 mol%, H₂O = 88.27 mol% and HI = 2.54 mol%). Finally, the results are compared with other model simulations. It is observed that the proposed scheme leads to consume a reasonably low energy requirement of 327 MJ/kmol of H₂.

활성탄을 사용하여 수용액으로부터 crystal violet 염료의 흡착에 대해 조사하였으며, 흡착제의 양, 초기농도와 접촉시간 및 온도를 흡착변수로 사용하여 수행하였다. 흡착평형관계는 Langmuir 등온식에 잘 맞았다. 평가된 Langmuir 분리 계수($R_L=0.02{\sim}0.106$)를 바탕으로 이 흡착공정이 효과적인 처리(0 < $R_L$ < 1)가 가능하다는 것을 알았다. 흡착동력학 데이터는 유사 2차 반응속도식에 잘 맞는 것으로 나타났다. Gibbs 자유에너지(-1.61~-11.66 kJ/mol)와 엔탈피(147.209 kJ/mol)는 흡착공정이 자발적이고 흡열반응으로 진행된다는 것을 나타냈다. 등량흡착열은 표면덮임이 증가됨에 따라 흡착제-흡착질의 상호작용이 제한되어 표면부하량이 증가할수록 작아졌다.

Magnetars are neutron stars possessing a magnetic field of about $10^{14}-10^{15}$ G at the surface. Thermodynamic properties of neutron star matter, approximated by pure neutron matter, are considered at finite temperature in strong magnetic fields up to $10^{18}$ G which could be relevant for the inner regions of magnetars. In the model with the Skyrme effective interaction, it is shown that a thermodynamically stable branch of solutions for the spin polarization parameter corresponds to the case when the majority of neutron spins are oriented opposite to the direction of the magnetic field (i.e. negative spin polarization). Moreover, starting from some threshold density, the self-consistent equations have also two other branches of solutions, corresponding to positive spin polarization. The influence of finite temperatures on spin polarization remains moderate in the Skyrme model up to temperatures relevant for protoneutron stars. In particular, the scenario with the metastable state characterized by positive spin polarization, considered at zero temperature in Phys. Rev. C 80, 065801 (2009), is preserved at finite temperatures as well. It is shown that, above certain density, the entropy for various branches of spin polarization in neutron matter with the Skyrme interaction in a strong magnetic field shows the unusual behavior, being larger than that of the nonpolarized state. By providing the corresponding low-temperature analysis, we prove that this unexpected behavior should be related to the dependence of the entropy of a spin polarized state on the effective masses of neutrons with spin up and spin down, and to a certain constraint on them which is violated in the respective density range.

$\alpha$ 및 $\beta$-Cyclodextrin(CD)과 Congo red간의 복합체 형성에 관한 연구를 분광학적 방법으로 조사하였다. 이 결과 cavity 크기가 작은 $\alpha$-CD는 Congo red의 입체적 장애 때문에 복합체를 형성하지 못하였다. 한편 가시광선 영역의 S-형 흡광도 증가 현상으로 볼 때 두 분자의 $\beta$-CD가 한 분자의 Congo red와 equatorial 형태로 복합체를 형성하는 것 같다. 등 흡수점은 346 nm과 478 nm 두 곳에서 나타났다. 온도에 따른 형성상수의 값으로부터 온도가 올라가면 binding energy의 감소로 형성상수가 감소하였다. 열역학적 parameter의 계산 결과 $\Delta$H, $\Delta$S 및 $\Delta$G는 각각 -50.73 kJ/mol, $-108.96J/K{\cdot}mol$ 및 -18.24 kJ/mol 이었다. 따라서 큰 엔트로피 감소를 동반한 자발적 반응임을 알 수 있었다.

SAFT 상태 방정식이 기초하는 TPT 이론과 통계역학적 원리를 개괄하고, 회합성 유체 혼합물의 기액 상평형을 예측하는 유용한 도구로 사용될 수 있음을 확인한다. PC-SAFT 상태 방정식의 이론적 구조를 상세히 검토하고, 비극성 혼합물, 극성혼합물, 회합성혼합물에단계적으로적용하는과정을통하여, 상태방정식의적용성과성능을평가한다. PC-SAFT 상태 방정식은 기존의 공학용 상태 방정식과는 대조적으로, 경험적인 이성분 상호작용 매개변수의 사용 없이 다양한 혼합물들의 비이상적 거동을 정확하게 예측할 수 있다. 이는 SAFT 이론이 분자들 사이의 다양한 상호작용을 효과적으로 반영하는 분자 수준의 엄밀한 이론 체계에 기초하기 때문이며, 다성분 혼합물의 복잡한 열역학적인 현상에 대한 응용에서 실질적 이점을 제공한다.

This paper deals with the computational work to characterize the formation and pinching of a plasma in an X-pinch configuration. A resistive magnetohydrodynamic model of a single fluid and two temperature is adopted assuming a hollow conical structure in the (r,z) domain. The model includes the thermodynamic parameter of tungsten from the corrected Thomas-Fermi EOS(equation of state), determining the average ionization charge, pressure, and internal energy. The transport coefficients, resistivity and thermal conductivity, are obtained by the corrected Lee & More model and a simple radiation loss rate by recombination process is considered in the simulation. The simulation demonstrated the formation of a core-corona plasma and intense compression process near the central region which agrees with the experimental observation in the X-pinch device at Seoul National University. In addition, it confirmed the increase in radiation loss rate with the density and temperature of the core plasma.
