In this study, we aimed to analyze the chemical changes that occur in Korean paper in an accelerated deterioration environment of 105℃. We selected the Korean paper produced with different types of cooking agents (plant lye, Na₂CO₃) and during different manufacturing seasons (winter, summer). The degree of deterioration of the Korean paper was confirmed by measuring the brightness, yellowness, and pH level, and the degree of change in each vibrational region of cellulose as deterioration progressed through infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The FT-IR analysis showed that, as deterioration progressed, the absorbance of the amorphous region in cellulose decreased, whereas the absorbance of the crystalline region slightly increased. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Raman spectroscopy were performed to verify the changes in the crystalline and amorphous regions in cellulose indicated by the FT-IR results. Furthermore, the crystallinity index (CI) was calculated; it showed a slight increase after deterioration; therefore, CI was confirmed to follow the same trend as that observed for absorbance in the FT-IR results. In addition, as a result of Raman spectroscopic analysis, the degree of decomposition of the amorphous region in the cellulose under the manufacturing conditions was confirmed by the fluorescence measured after the deterioration.

We grew the $Li_6Gd(BO_3)_3:Ce^{3+}$ scintillator and determined the scintillation and thermoluminescence properties for X-rays. The emission spectrum of $Li_6Gd(BO_3)_3:Ce^{3+}$ is located in the range of 370~500 nm, peaking at 423 nm an 455 nm, due to the $4f{\rightarrow}5d$ transition of $Ce^{3+}$ ions. The fluorescence decay time of the crystal is composed three components. The fast component is 60 ns (25%), the intermediate component is 787 ns (29%) and the slow component is $5.9{\mu}s$ (46%) of the crystal. The after-glow is caused by the electron and hole traps in the crystal lattice. We determined physical parameters of the traps in the crystal. The thermoluminescence trap are composed two traps. The determined activation energy (E), kinetic order (m) and frequency factor (s) of the first trap are 0.65 eV, 1.01 and $6.9{\times}10^8s^{-1}$. And, the determined activation energy, kinetic order and frequency factor of the second trap are 0.96 eV, 1.79 and $3.1{\times}10^{12 }s^{-1}$, respectively.

The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm is the most widely used fitting algorithm. It outperforms simple gradient descent and other conjugate gradient methods in a wide variety of problems. Based on the work of paper[1], we propose a modified Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for better performance of mobile system. The LM parameter at the $k_{th}$ iteration is chosen ${\mu}=A{\bullet}{\parallel}f(x){\parallel}{\bullet}I$ where f is the residual function, and J is the Jacobi of f. In this paper, we show this method is more efficient than traditional method under the situation that the system iteration is limited.

Pigments used paintings, ornaments, weapons and various objects have been recognised as important elements to ascertain the history, manufacturing technique and cultural migration. Since the understanding of composition of pigments by analysis began in 1963, its technique and methodology has much advanced in recent years; recent study used the portable X-ray Fluorescence as non-destructive analysis has been practiced in particular. However the study on pigments necessitates overall and systematic research because it is difficult to understand periodical and regional use of pigments. by fractional studies. Therefore this research investigates the coloring materials and painting techniques of the scroll painting depicting preaching scene of Sakyamuni Buddha in Daeungjeon Hall, a main hall of Bulguk temple, through scientific analysis and comparison of various pigments which had been applied to the buddhist paintings of Joseon Dynasty. Consequently, it is confirmed that the scroll painting used pigments of white lead[$2PbCO_3{\cdot}Pb(OH)_2$] for ground layer and used mixture of different pigments such as cinnabar (HgS) minium($Pb_3O_4$) malachite($2CuO{\cdot}CO_2{\cdot}H_2O$) hematite($Fe_2O_3$) gold(Ag) for presenting various colors on the painting layer. It has been also believed that mineral pigments were applied to the scroll painting, yet it is difficult to confirm whether it is natural or synthetic pigments because the crystal structures of pigments were not analyzed. The results of this study, however, provide useful reference data for the understanding of the components of pigments and manufacturing techniques of buddhist scroll paintings, in particular, of Joseon Dynasty.

Au 합금 도금층은 내마모성 및 내식성이 우수하고 접촉저항이 낮기 때문에, 커넥터, 인쇄회로기판 등과 같은 전자부품의 접속단자부에 널리 적용되고 있다. 각 부품들을 효과적으로 전기적 신호를 통해 연결하기 위해서는 낮은 접촉저항이 요구되며, 이러한 Au 합금 도금층의 접촉저항은 합금 원소의 종류 및 함량, 용융 솔더와 전자부품을 고정시키는 표면실장공정에서 받는 theremal aging의 온도와 시간에 따라 변화된다. 현재 전자부품용 커넥터에 실시되고 있는 금 합금도금은 Au-0.3wt%Co합금, Au-0.2wt%Ni합금도금이 대부분 적용되고 있으며, 높은 순도(금 함유량 99.7wt%이상)로 인하여 금 사용량을 절감하기 어려운 실정이다. Sn은 Au와 높은 고용률을 갖는 합금을 형성하는 장점을 갖고 있기에 금 사용량 절감에 큰 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Sn을 합금 원소로 사용하여 높은 Sn함량을 갖는 Au 합금 도금층을 제작하고, 무연솔더의 융점보다 더 높은 온도인 533K에서 thermal aging을 실시하여, Sn함량별로 thermal aging에 따른 접촉저항과 솔더퍼짐성의 변화를 기존의 Co, Ni합금과 비교 조사하였다. 또한, 표면분석을 통하여 Au-Sn합금 도금층의 접촉저항이 변화하는 요인에 대해서도 고찰하였다. 표면적 $0.2dm^2$의 순수 동 시편 위에 약 $2{\mu}m$두께의 Ni도금을 실시한 후 Sn 함량을 다르게 준비한 도금 용액(Au 6g/L, Sn 1~8g/L)을 사용하여 Au-Sn합금 도금을 실시하였다. Au-Sn합금 도금층은 전류밀도 0.5ASD, 온도 $40^{\circ}C$에서 약 $0.1{\mu}m$두께가 되도록 도금하였으며, 두께는 형광X선 도금두께측정기로 측정하였다. 금 합금 도금층 내의 Sn함량은 Ti시편 위에 도금한 Au-Sn합금층을 왕수에 용해시킨 다음, ICP를 사용하여 분석하였다. Au-Sn합금 도금층의 접촉저항은 준비된 시편을 533K에서 1분 30초, 3분, 6분 간 열처리한 후, 5회 접촉저항을 측정하여 그 평균값으로 하중에 따른 금 합금 도금층의 접촉저항을 비교하였다. 솔더링성은 솔더볼을 합금 표면에 솔더페이스트를 이용하여 붙인 뒤 533K에서 30초간 열처리하고, 열처리 후 솔더볼의 높이 변화를 측정해 열처리 전 솔더볼의 높이에 비해 퍼진정도를 측정하였다. 또한, 도금층 내의 Sn함량에 따라서 접촉저항이 변화하는 요인을 분석하기 위해서 X선 광전자 분광기를 이용하여 도금층 표면의 정량 분석 및 화학적 결합상태를 분석하였다. ICP분석결과 Au-Sn합금층 내의 Sn함량은 도금용액의 조성별로 9~12wt% Sn 합금층이 형성된 것을 알 수 있었고 기존의 Au-Ni, Au-Co 합금층과 비교해 합금함량이 크게 증가된 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 접촉저항 측정 결과, 기존의 Au-Ni, Au-Co합금층의 접촉저항과 비교했을 때 Au-Sn합금층의 접촉저항이 더 낮은 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 솔더퍼짐성 측정 결과 기존의 Au-Ni, Au-Co합금층과 비교해 솔더퍼짐성이 우수한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 전자부품용 접점재료에 합금함량이 높은 Au-Sn합금층을 적용시키면 더 우수한 커넥터의 성능을 얻을 수 있을 뿐 아니라 경제적으로 큰 절약 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS)는 일반적으로 널리 사용하는 X선 회절분광기로 분석하기 힘든 chemical 또는 biological system의 structural analyses에 매우 유용한 분석방법이다. 특히 세라믹이나 유전체 비정질 재료의 미세 원자 구조에 관한 정보를 얻는데는 가장 강력한 분석방법중의 하나로 알려져 있다. 현재까지 대부분의 EXAFS 실험은 방사광 가속기를 이용하여 수행하였다. 그런데 신제품 개발의 순환주기가 급속하게 단축되는 현실적인 문제에 부응하기 위하여 실험실에서 EXAFS 실험을 수행할 수 있는 system을 개발하게 되었다. 개발한 XIEES 장비는 rotating anode 형의 18kW X-ray source, Optical system, Detection system, Stepping motor control system, vacuum system, Utility 등으로 구성하였다. Optical system에서의 6개의 Johanson type monochromator를 사용하여 분석가능한 x-ray energy range를 480eV에서 41keV까지 구현하였다. 이는 산소에서 우라늄까지 분석이 가능함을 의미하는 것으로, 산화물 연구에 많이 활용할 것으로 기대한다. XIEES는 투과 및 형광 X-ray를 검출할 수 있는 기능과 X-ray에 의해 여기 되는 모든(광전자, Aiger 전자, 이차전자)들을 검출할 수 있는 기능을 갖추고 있는데 이를 Total Electron Yield 측정이라고 한다. Total Electron Yield 측정은 박막 시료와 같이 투과가 되지 않는 시료를 분석할 뿐만 아니라, 경원소 분석, 낮은 에너지에서 흡수 edge가 나타나는 L-edge 측정을 통한 전자 구조 분석 등에 유용한다. 실험실용 XIEES 장비는 방사광가속기에 비해 x-ray flux가 크게 뒤지는 문제와 Total Electron Yield를 측정하는 데 있어서 source에서 나오는 x-ray beam이 진공용기 안에서 산란되어 이차전자를 여기하고 이 이차전자들이 전자검출기에 유입되어 측정에 영향을 미치는 background 문제 등이 있다. 이 두 가지 문제를 해결하기 위하여 Capillary tube를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 실험실용 XIEES 장비를 소개하고 이를 이용하여 Cu standard 시료에서 측정한 EXAFS 결과와 Capillary tube를 사용하여 얻은 x-ray flux 증진 및 background 제거 효과에 대해서 발표한다.

The paper relics excavated from the 4th excavation of the historical spot No.259 Seonwon temple area were analyzed and conserved. Because these works remained folded, the most important conservation treatment was a separation. This process depended on the state of the works: dry state works were separated using Gore-Tex chamber and the filtrated water, wet state works were separated through vacuum freeze drying method. Analyses of the paper relics performed were examination on the paper to find its distinction, binocular microscope and SEM on fiber, and XRF on character ingredient. This study presumed the times though $C^{14}$ dating of these works. The works were able to be classified through analysis and conservation treatment. This separation made lost part of the works conserve an archetype. This study presented the application of conservation methods on the paper relics which are in the bad condition and obtained information through carbon dating of it.

This study investigated spectroscopic exploration of Myeonsan formation, the titanium(Ti) ore hostrock, in Joseon supergroup based on machine learning technique. The mineral composition, Ti concentration, spectral characteristics of Myeonsan and non-Myeonsan formation of Joseon supergroup were analyzed. The Myeonsan formation contains relatively larger quantity of opaque minerals along with quartz and clay minerals. The PXRF analysis revealed that the Ti concentration of Myeosan formation is at least 10 times larger than the other formations with bi-modal distribution. The bi-modal concentration is caused by high Ti concentrated sandy layer and relatively lower Ti concentrated muddy layer. The spectral characteristics of Myeonsan formation is manifested by Fe oxides at near infrared and clay minerals at shortwave infrared bands. The Ti exploration is expected to be more effective on detection of hostrock rather than Ti ore because ilmenite does not have characteristic spectral features. The random-forest machine learning classification detected the Myeonsan fomation at 85% accuracy with overall accuracy of 97%, where spectral features of iron oxides and clay minerals played an important role. It indicates that spectral analysis can detect the Ti host rock effectively, and can contribute for UAV based remote sensing for Ti exploration.

Mineral medicines are single or mixtures of minerals and rocks which have been used to treat disease. Recently, their application has been increased by emphasizing the physical properies of the medicines, in addition to their chemical properies. In this study, mineralogical, chemical, spectroscopic and magnetic properties were measured using X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, Ff-Infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass magnetic susceptibility. Experiments were done using these properties to evaluate application of traditional mineral medicines such as Yanggiseok, Yeonok and Eumgiseok. Mineralogical study proves that Yanggiseok, generally known as tremolite, consists of actinolite. Yeonok for medical usage mostly consists of fine grained tremolite. Eumgiseok is mainly composed of vermiculite and minor kaolinite and halloysite. Yeonok and Yanggiseok, belong to the amphibole group among inosilicates and both have similar emission power properties. The intensity of emission power, calculated from FT-IR measurements, follows in the order of Yeonok, Yanggiseok and Eumgiseok at 40$^{\circ}$C and Yanggiseok, Yeonok and Eumgiseok in such order at 150$^{\circ}$C. As a result of NMR analysis after 20 days in distilled water, the three mineral medicines decreased in the following order; Eumgiseok, Yanggiseok and Yeonok. However, the same minerals decreased in the order of Eumgiseok, Yeonok and Yanggiseok after 80 days. In response temperature, magnetic susceptibility of Yanggiseok and Eumgiseok systematically increased by heating to 25$^{\circ}$C, 100$^{\circ}$C and 700$^{\circ}$C. Magnetic susceptibility of Yeonok shows a decreasing pattern due to heating.

By using XRF (X-ray fluorescence), this study investigates the variation of chemical properties in cement pastes at elevated temperatures. High-temperature conditions were prepared by using an electric furnace, planning a total of 11 target temperatures ranging from room temperature to 1000 ℃. A standard library of geo-quant basic was applied for the analysis of 12 elements in cement paste, including Ca, Si, Al, Fe, S, Mg, Ti, Sr, P, Mn, Zn and K. The results revealed that, as the temperature increased, the proportion of each element in the cement paste also increased. With the exception of a few elements present in extremely low amounts in the cement pastes, the variation in the composition ratio of most elements exhibited a strong correlation with temperature, with an R-squared value exceeding 0.98. In this study, cement pastes exposed to normal and high-temperature environments were compared. The authors established that the reasons for the different results in this comparison can be explained from the same perspective as when comparing raw cement with cement paste. Furthermore, this study discussed the potentially most dominant parameter when investigating the properties of cement paste using XRF.
