Critical literature review in this study revealed that there can be a significant influence of the residual stress on the engineering properties of rock. The review also showed that few number of research works on the quantification of the influence was attributed to the limitation of the two classical measurement techniques, viz, X-ray diffraction and mechanical relaxation method. In this study, a new way of approach was sought based on the assumption that residual stress up to the failure. A series of hoop tests conducted onthe samples from the limb of Carboniferous Limestone in Clevedon, England, revealed that (i) there is no preferential orientations of microcracks and minerals which have been widely believed as the main source of the strength anisotropy of rock; (ii) the anisotropy of the tensile strength of the limestone results from the influence of the residual stress; (iii) since jointing commenced within the fold, residual stored strain energy has been released preferentially in the direction perpendicular to the major joints(o$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$); (ⅳ) during the hoop test making it much easier to create tensile fracture in these directons, viz 45$^{\circ}$ and 135$^{\circ}$)was released during the hoop test making it much easier to create tensile fracture in these directions, viz 45$^{\circ}$and 135$^{\circ}$;(v) the direction in which the stored strain energy may be presumed to be the least, required the greatest work to cause failure.

In this study, transparent and conductive Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films were prepared on glass substrate by RF magnetron sputtering method using an Al-doped ZnO target (Al: 2wt.%) at room temperature as the thickness of 150 nm. We investigated the effects of the RF power between 100~350 W in the steps of 50 W on structural, electrical and optical properties of AZO films. The thickness and cross-sectional images of films were observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and all of the films were kept to be constant about 150 nm on glass substrate. The grain size of AZO films figured out X-ray diffraction (XRD) on using the Scherrer' equation and their electrical properties investigated Hall effect electronic transport measurement system. Moreover, we measured transmittance of AZO films by UV/VIS spectrometer.

A sintering aid, $B_{2}O_{3}$ have been included into a $LiAlO_{2}$ electrolyte support by a tape casting method in order to reinforce mechanical strength of the support for molten carbonate fuel cells [MCFCs). Starting idea originates from the low melting point of $B_{2}O_{3}$ ($450^{\circ}C$), which can provide the low temperature consolidation of ceramic materials. The mechanical properties and the microstructure changes of the $B_{2}O_{3}$-included electrolyte support were examined by scanning electron microscope, mercury porosimetry, X-ray powder diffraction [XRD], high temperature differential scanning calorimeter and three-point bending strength measurement. The mechanical strength was clearly improved by addition of $B_{2}O_{3}$. The increase of mechanical strength results from the neck growth of a new $LiAlO_{2}$ phase between $LiAlO_{2}$ particles by the liquid phase sintering. Average pore size and porosity of the electrolyte support reinforced by addition of the sintering aid, $B_{2}O_{3}$, was $0.24{\mu}m$ and 59%, respectively which were suitable microstructure of a matrix for an application of MCFCs.

Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO)는 가시광 영역(380~780 nm)에서 높은 투과율과 적외선영역에서 높은 반사율을 보이는 투명산화막으로서 Flexible display 적용으로 주목 받는 재료이다. 특히 비 화학적 양론비(non-stoichiometric)로 성장된 박막은 N형 반도체 특성을 갖기 때문에 광전자 소자, 액정표시소자와 태양전지의 투명전극 재료로 이용되고 있으며, 향 후에도 수요는 계속 증가될 전망이다. 일반적으로 IZO 박막은 높은 열처리 온도에 의한 기판재료의 선택이 한정적인 단점이 있다. 따라서 최근에는 정밀하게 제어된 에너지를 가진 전자를 표면에 조사(E-beam irradiation)하여 박막의 물성을 개선하고 기판재료의 선택성을 넓히는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다 [1]. 본 연구에서는 RF Magnetron Sputtering 법을 이용하여 Glass 위에 IZO를 증착하였다. 스퍼터링타겟은 고순도 IZO 타겟을 이용하여 100 nm의 두께를 가지는 박막을 증착하였다. 증착된 IZO 박막에 E-beam Source ((주)인포비온)를 이용하여 E-beam irradiation energy 조건에 변화를 주어 박막의 물성 변화를 관찰하였다. IZO 박막의 두께를 측정하기 위해 SEM (Cross section)을 이용하였다. E-beam irradiation energy에 따른 가시광 영역(380~780 nm)에서의 광투 과도는 UV-Vis spectrometer를 사용하여 측정하였고, 전기적인 특성은 Hall measurement system 을 이용하여 측정하였다. 또한 박막의 결정성과 거칠기의 변화는 XRD (X-ray Diffraction)와 원자 간력현미경(Atomic Force Microscope; AFM)을 이용하여 측정하였다. Rf magnetron Sputtering 법을 이용하여 증착한 IZO 박막에 Post E-beam irradiation이 전기전도 및 광 투과특성과 결정성과 표면 조도를 향상시키는데 크게 기여함을 확인할 수 있었다.

A new magnetite-silica core/shell nanocomposite ($Fe_3O4@nSiO_2@mSiO_2$) was synthesized and functionalized with trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS). The prepared nanocomposite was used for the removal of diesel oil from aqueous media. The characterization of magnetite-silica nanocomposite was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), surface area measurement, and vibrating sample magnetization (VSM). Results have shown that the desired structure was obtained and surface modification was successfully carried out. FTIR analysis has confirmed the presence of TMCS on the surface of magnetite silica nanocomposites. The low- angle XRD pattern of nanocomposites indicated the mesoscopic structure of silica shell. Furthermore, TEM results have shown the core/shell structure with porous silica shell. Adsorption kinetic studies indicated that the nanocomposite was able to remove 80% of the oil contaminant during 2 h and fit well with the pseudo-second order model. Equilibrium studies at room temperature showed that the experimental data fitted well with Freundlich isotherm. The magnetic property of nanocomposite facilitated the separation of solid phase from aqueous solution.

In this study, we evaluated the effect of the molecular weight of the polymer on electrospun poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nonwovens, and their mechanical properties as a function of the linear velocity of drum surface. Polymer solutions and electrospun PET nonwovens were characterized by means of viscometer, tensiometer, scanning electron microscope(SEM), wide angle X-ray diffraction measurement (WAXD) and universal testing machine (UTM). By keeping the uniform solution viscosity, regardless of molecular weight differences, electrospun PET nonwovens with similar average diameter could be obtained. In addition, the mechanical properties of the electrospun PET nonwovens were strongly dependent on the linear velocity of drum surface. From the results of the WAXD scan, it was found that the polymer took on a particular molecular orientation when the linear velocity of drum surface was increased. The peaks became more definite and apparent, evolving from an amorphous pattern at 0 m/min to peaks and signifying the presence of crystallinity at 45 m/min.

An electrochemical reduction of a mixture of NiO and rare earth oxides has been conducted to increase the reduction degree of rare earth oxides. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement was carried out to determine the electrochemical reduction behavior of the mixed oxide in molten LiCl medium. Constant voltage electrolysis was performed with various supplied charges to understand the mechanism of electrochemical reduction of the mixed oxide as a working electrode. After completion of the electrochemical reduction, crystal structure of the reaction intermediates was characterized by using an X-ray diffraction method. The results clearly demonstrate that the rare earth oxide was converted to RE-Ni intermetallics via co-reduction with NiO.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $CdIn_2S_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by hot wall epitaxy(HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $630^{\circ}C$ and $420^{\circ}C$ respectively. The crystalline structure of single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $9.01{\times}10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$ and $219\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. From the optical absorption measurement, the temperature dependence of energy band gap on $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films was found to be $E_g(T)\;=\;2.7116\;eV\;-\;(7.74{\times}10^{-4}\;eV)T^2/(T+434)$. After the as-grown $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Cd-, S-, and In-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K.

본 연구에서는 Ga-doped ZnO(GZO)-Ag-GZO 다층 투명전극을 Dual DC magnetron sputtering system을 이용 하여 유리기판 위에 상온에서 제작하여 Ag 두께에 따른 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성변화를 조사하였다. Hall effect measurement와 UV/Vis spectrometer로 전기적, 광학적 특성을 분석하였으며, X-ray diffraction(XRD)와FE-SEM분석을 통해 결정성과 표면 특성을 조사하였다. FE-SEM 분석결과 island 형태에서 continuous layer로 박막의 형상이 바뀌면서 다층 투명전극의 전기적, 광학적 특성에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 실험에서 Ag 두께 12 nm에서 가장 최적화되어 유리기판위에 상온에서 증착되었음에도 불구하고 $5.5{\times}{\times}10^{-5}\Omega$-cm, $6\Omega$/sq. 의 매우 낮은 면저항과 비저항을 각각 나타내었고 550 nm 파장에서 87 % 의 높은 광 투과도를 나타내었다. 또한 두께 12 nm의 Ag가 삽입된 다층 투명전극을 polyethylene terephthalate (PET) 기판위에 성막하여 Bending test를 실시하여 0.1% 이하의 매우 낮은 저항변화를 확인함으로써 플렉시블 기반의 디스플레이나 태양전지의 투명 전극으로서의 응용 가능성을 확인하였고 마지막으로 최적화된 다층 투명전극을 유기물태양전지의 애노드에 적용하여 기존 ITO 애노드를 대체할 수 있는 투명전극으로서의 가능성을 제시하였다.
