  • This study had three purposes: (1) to investigate the enrichment levels and dispersion patterns of potentially toxic elements in the rock-soil-plant system; (2) to evaluate the uptake ratios of heavy metals from soils into plants and (3) to assess the chemical speciation of heavy metals in soils. Rock, surface soil and plant samples were collected in the Boeun area underlain by black shales of the Okchon Zone. These samples were analyzed for multi-elements using INAA, ICP-AES and AAS. The maximum abundance of U in black shales is 16 mg/kg and radioactivity counts up to 300 cpm. In particular, Mo, V, Ba, Cd, Pb and U are enriched in black shales. Most of soils derived from black shales show high concentrations of U, As, Mo, Ba, Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn and mean concentrations of As and Mo in soils (20 mg/kg of As and 6.6 mg/kg of Mo) are higher than the permissible level suggested by Kloke (1979). Enrichment index values of soils are calculated and higher than 1.0 in the black shale area with the highest value of 6.4. Mean concentration of Cd in plants is higher than those of Cu, Pb and Zn. The concentration of Cd in plant species decreases in the order of Chinese cabbage > red pepper > soybean=sesame > rice stalk > com > rice grain. The biological absorption coefficients (BAC) in plants are in the order of Cd > Zn=Cu > Pb, which suggests that Cd is more bioavailable to plants than Cu, Pb and Zn. From the results of sequential extraction analysis of soils, relatively high proportion of Cu, Pb and Zn are present as residual fractions whereas that of Cd as non-residual fractions. Cadmuim occurs predominantly as exchangeable/water-acid soluble phase in soils, and Cd is more mobile and bioavailable than Cu, Pb and Zn.

  • 최근 그래핀, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) 및 $MoS_2$ (molybdenum disulfide)와 같은 2차원 결정 물질들은 무어의 법칙 (Moore's Law)를 뛰어넘어 계속적인 소자의 소형화를 가능케 하고 또한 대면적, 저비용 소자 개발을 가능케 하는 우수한 특성을 가진 차세대 반도체 트랜지스터 소재로 각광받고 있다. $MoS_2$는 bulk 상태일 때는 1.2 eV의 indirect 밴드갭을 가지지만 단층형태일 때는 1.8 eV의 direct 밴드갭을 가지며 dielectric screening 기법 등을 통해 mobility를 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 연구된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 화학기상증착(chemical vapor deposition, CVD)법을 이용하여 $MoS_2$박막을 형성하기 위한 기초연구인 Mo전구체의 특성 평가 및 적합한 공정조건 개발 연구를 수행하였다. 사용한 전구체는 $Mo(CO)^6$ (Molybdenum hexacarbonyl)이고, 온도 및 압력, 반응기체($H_2S$, Hydrogen sulfide) 유량 등의 공정 조건 변화에 따른 거동을 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) 시스템을 사용하여 측정하였다. 또한 $Mo(CO)^6$의 분자구조를 상용 프로그램인 Gaussian으로 시뮬레이션 하여 실제 FT-IR 측정 결과값과 비교 분석하였다. 화학기상증착법을 이용한 $MoS_2$ 증착조건 최적화를 위하여 다양한 온도, 유량, 압력, 및 기판 종류에 대하여 증착 실험을 수행하였으며, 증착된 샘플은 scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman spectroscopy를 이용하여 분석하였다.

  • A first-principle approach within the framework of density functional theory was employed to study the effect of vacancy defects and fission products (FPs) doping on the mechanical, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of uranium monocarbide (UC). Firstly, the calculated vacancy formation energies confirm that the C vacancy is more stable than the U vacancy. The solution energies indicate that FPs prefer to occupying in U site rather than in C site. Zr, Mo, Th, and Pu atoms tend to directly replace U atom and dissolve into the UC lattice. Besides, the results of the mechanical properties show that U vacancy reduces the compressive and deformation resistance of UC while C vacancy has little effect. The doping of all FPs except He has a repairing effect on the mechanical properties of U1-xC. In addition, significant modifications are observed in the phonon dispersion curves and partial phonon density of states (PhDOS) of UC1-x, ZrxU1-xC, MoxU1-xC, and RhxU1-xC, including narrow frequency gaps and overlapping phonon modes, which increase the phonon scattering and lead to deterioration of thermal expansion coefficient (αV) and heat capacity (Cp) of UC predicted by the quasi harmonic approximation (QHA) method.
