Polyalkylsilanes such as poly(dialkyl)silanes and poly(monoalkyl)silanes were synthesized by sonochemical dechlorination-condensation method from (dialkyl or monoalkyl)chlorosilanes with sodium metal. Those polyalkylsilanes were analyzed for the properties such as thermal behaviors from TGA analysis and obtained ceramic yields of 10-20% for poly(dialkyl)silanes and 40-60% for poly(monoalkyl)silanes. Ceramic composite discs were prepared by the combined mixture of polyalkylsilanes and SiC powder and were tested by TGA and analyzed by SEM and XRD for the application as binder for ceramic composite precursors.

Very often, whether accidentally or intentionally set fire, according as building are elevated, varied or complicated day by day. It is of primary importance that we have a treatment of fire damaged structure. In general, strength and elasticity modulus of heated concrete are reduced. Product background of cement, sand and coarse aggregate differ from country to country, so that thermal behaviour of concrete make a difference in high temperature. To cope with demand, this paper is a study on relation to microstructure and strength reduction. In consequence of experiments, concrete exposed to high temperature are estimating the reduction of mechanical properties in comparison with microstructure characteristics which are abtained from the SEM/EDX, XRD and DSC-TG analysis of heated specimens under various temperature.

In this study, we present the preparation and characterization of oxidized fullerene and fullerene dimer [$C_{120}$]. From the XRD data, other weak peaks with pristine fullerene [$C_{60}$] peaks were observed in the X-ray diffraction patterns for fullerene dimer [$C_{120}$]. SEM micrographs for the fullerene dimer [$C_{120}$] indicated that practically all the surface state was shown the drastic morphology changes and its outer surface is clearly visible and resulted in clogging and frost-like formation. From the MALDI-TOF mass spectra, the differences in the spectra recorded on two kinds of fullerene are due to the oxidation including chemical bonding and bridging between the $C_{60}$ molecules. We also obtained additional information from FT-IR spectra on functional component on the chemically modified surface of oxidized fullerene and fullerene dimer [$C_{120}$].

In this study, we tried to precipitate calcium carbonate with carbonate ions decomposed from urea by plant extract and calcium ions dissolved in water. The clay particles carry a net negative charge on their surfaces. Such clay mineral was additionally mixed as a medium to improve soil strength and durability with environmentally-friendly way. The $1^{st}$ solution (plant extracts and urea) and the $2^{nd}$ solution (calcium chloride and clay) were mixed together with clean Nakdong River sand. Then, this mixed soil was compacted into a small cylindrical specimen and then air cured for 7 days in laboratory. The molar concentration of urea and calcium chloride was tested for three different conditions, 1, 5, and 7 mol. Three different clay contents (0, 1, and 3% per total weight) were mixed with sand. For each specimen, a series of unconfined compression test, a durability test, SEM, EDX and XRD analyses were carried out to evaluate its cementation and structure. As the molar concentration of the solution and clay content increased, the unconfined compressive strength and durability increased. The results of SEM, EDX and XRD analyses showed that calcite was precipitated around clay mineral. The thermogravimetry analysis indicated that calcium carbonate precipitated about 1~2% per total weight of the sample.

최근 들어 다결정 SiGe은 MOS(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor)에서 기존에 사용되던 다결정 Si 공정과의 호환성 및 여러 장점으로 인하여 다결정 Si 대안으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 고농도로 도핑된 P type의 다결정 SiGe은 Ge의 함량에 따른 일함수의 조절과 낮은 비저항으로 submicrometer CMOS 공정에서 게이트 전극으로 이용하려는 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 55$0^{\circ}C$ 이하의 낮은 온도에서도 증착이 가능하고, 도펀트의 활성화도가 높아서 TFT(Thin Film Transistor)에서도 유용한 재료로 검토되고 있다. 현재까지 다결정 SiGe의 증착은 MBE, APCVD, RECVD. HV/LPCVD 등 다양한 방법으로 이루어지고 있다. 이중 HV/LPCVD 방법을 이용한 증착은 반도체 공정에서 게이트 전극, 유전체, 금속화 공정 등 다양한 공정에서 사용되고 있는 방법으로 현재 사용되고 있는 반도체 공정과의 호환성의 장점으로 다결정 SiGe 게이트 전극의 증착 공정에 적합하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 HV/LPCVD 방법을 이용하여 게이트 전극으로의 활용을 위한 다결정 SiGe의 증착 메카니즘을 분석하고 Ex-situ implantation 후 열처리에 따라 나타나는 활성화 정도를 분석하였다. 도펀트를 첨가하지 않은 다결정 SiGe을 주성엔지니어링의 EUREKA 2000 장비를 이용하여, 1000$\AA$의 열산화막이 덮혀있는 8 in 웨이퍼에 증착하였다. 증착 온도는 55$0^{\circ}C$에서 6$25^{\circ}C$까지 변화를 주었으며, 증착압력은 1mtorr-4mtorr로 유지하였다. 낮은 증착압력으로 인한 증착속도의 감소를 방지하기 위하여 Si source로서 Si2H6를 사용하였으며, Ge의 Source는 수소로 희석된 10% GeH4와 100% GeH4를 사용하였다. 증착된 다결정 SiGe의 Ge 함량은 RBS, XPS로 분석하였으며, 증착된 박막의 두께는 Nanospec과 SEM으로 관찰하였다. 또한 Ge 함량 변화에 따른 morphology 관찰과 변화 관찰을 위하여 AFM, SEM, XRD를 이용하였으며, 이온주입후 열처리 온도에 따른 활성화 정도의 관찰을 위하여 4-point probe와 Hall measurement를 이용하였다. 증착된 다결정 SiGe의 두게를 nanospec과 SEM으로 분석한 결과 Gem이 함량이 적을 때는 높은 온도에서의 증착이 더 빠른 증착속도를 나타내었지만, Ge의 함량이 30% 되었을 때는 온도에 관계없이 일정한 것으로 나타났다. XRD 분석을 한 결과 Peak의 위치가 순수한 Si과 순수한 Ge 사이에 존재하는 것으로 나타났으며, ge 함량이 많아짐에 따라 순수한 Ge쪽으로 옮겨가는 경향을 보였다. SEM, ASFM으로 증착한 다결정 SiGe의 morphology 관찰결과 Ge 함량이 높은 박막의 입계가 다결정 Si의 입계에 비해 훨씬 큰 것으로 나타났으며 근 값도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, we fabricated the micro hotplate which consisted of a thin film heater(Pt/Cr bilayers) sandwiched with the thermal oxide and E-beam evaporated oxide. And we studied the electrical and the structural properties of Pt/Cr bilayers due to annealing temperature. When we compared the temperature measured from type k thermocouples with the temperature acquired from I.R. thermo-vision system according to the variations of emissivity, the emissivity of I-beam evaporated oxide was 0.5. The sheet resistance of Pt/Cr bilayers didn't depend on the Cr layer thickness, and it was considered as the existence of CrO between the Pt and the Cr layer. When the annealing temperature was increased from $500^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$, the out-diffusions of Cr were increased(which was confirmed by AES depth profile) and the grain size of Pt(220) phase was enlarged also(analyzed by XRD and SEM photographs). From the results of XRD analysis and AES depth profile, the Pt/Cr bilayers annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ were more stable than any other cases in structural properties.

In this work, pitch/activated carbon/$TiO_2$ composite were prepared by $CCl_4$ solvent method with different mixing ratios. The BET surface area of pitch/activated carbon/$TiO_2$ composite has a significantly increase with increasing activated carbon content in pitch/activated carbon/$TiO_2$ composite. The surface structure and elemental compositions of the composite were studied by SEM and EDX, respectively. The SEM results were presented to the characterization of porous texture on the pitch/activated carbon/$TiO_2$ composite. And EDX data was shown the presence of C, O, S, Ti and other elements. The structural properties of the composite were studied in XRD measurements. The $TiO_2$ crystal phases of the pitch/activated carbon/$TiO_2$ composite had lots of rutile-type structure which transforms from anatase-type with a little of anatase-type structure. The photocatalytic activities of the composite were evaluated using a photo-decomposition method under UV lamp. The pitch/activated carbon/$TiO_2$ composites were observed better photocatalytic activity than that of pristine $TiO_2$.

Asian dust (Hwangsa) interacts with light, atmospheric gas, aerosol, and marine ecosystem, affecting Earth climate. Mineralogical properties are essential to understand the interaction between the dust and environments. In this study, we examined the mineralogical properties of Asian dust collected at Deokjeok Island, Incheon, Korea in February 22, 2015. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses showed that phyllosilicate minerals (62 wt%) dominate the Asian dust. Illite-smectite series clay minerals (55%) were common with minor chlorite (5%) and kaolinite (2%). Non-phyllosilicate minerals were quartz (18%), plagioclase (10%), K-feldspar (4%), calcite (4%), and gypsum (1%). Similar results were obtained by mineral quantification using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). Transmission electron microscopy combined with EDS confirmed illite-smectite series clay minerals as the dominant phyllosilicate type. Morphological analyses using SEM showed clay agglomerates, clay-coated quartz, feldspars, and micas. Gypsum grains were common on the particle surface, while calcite nanofibers, previously reported as common on the surface, were rare, indicating the reaction of calcite and acidic atmospheric pollutants to form gypsum. The analytical result of 2015 Asian dust would contribute to the establishment of mineralogical base for the modeling of the interaction between Asian dust and environments.
