Spectrophotometric properties of lanthanide complexes with methylthymol blue(MTB) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB) were studied and also lanthanide(III) ions were determined by flow injection analysis on the base of the above results. The absorption maxima of lanthanide(III)-MTB complexes in the presence of CTAB are 635nm with molar absorptivity of $4.51{\sim}6.11{\times}10^4Lmol^{-1}cm^{-l}$ at pH 5.8. The mole ratio of lanthanide(III) complexes with MTB is 1:2 in the presence of CTAB. The calibration curves of lanthanide(III) ions obey the Beer's law in the range of 0.1 to 0.4ppm under the optimum condition. The samples throughput was ca. $60hr^{-1}$. The interfering effect of some cations and anions was investigated. The ligand anions such as tartrate and citrate, many transition and rare earth elements interfered severely and must be removed before the determination of lanthanide(III) ions.

LaAlO3 Single crystals used as a substrate for thin film depositions of a high temperature oxide su-perconductor YB2Cu3O7 and applied to microwave frequencies were grown by the Traveling Solvent Flati-ing Zone (TSFZ) method and characterized. For the growth of LaAlO3 single crystals polycrystalline fe-edrods were prepared from powder mixture of La2O3 and Al2O3 with a mole ratio of 1:1 calcined at 110$0^{\circ}C$ for 3h and sintered at 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 4h The growth LaAlO3 crystals was 4-5mm in diameter 30mm in length and dark brown. The growth rate was 2-3mm/h and the rotation speeds were 10rpm for an upper ro-tation and 40 rpm for a lower rotation The growing crystals and the feedrods were counter-rotated. The orientation of the grown single crystals of LaAlO3 was identified to be [111] direction. Dielectric constants were measured to be 30-33 between 100 kHz and 1 MHz in the 30$0^{\circ}C$ to 45$0^{\circ}C$ temperature range and 102 in a range of 100 kHz at the phase transformation temperature of 522$^{\circ}C$ Dielectric losses were calculated to be 1.8$\times$10-4 at the room temperature and 5.7$\times$10-3 at the phase transformation temperature. Lattice con-stants of the grown crystlals were determined to be aR=5.3806 $\AA$ and $\alpha$=60.043$^{\circ}$ by the least square method.

Microelectronic devices의 접촉저항의 향상을 위해 Metal silicides의 형성 mechanism과 전기적 특성에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 지난 수십년에 걸쳐, Ti silicide, Co silicide, Ni silicide 등에 대한 개발이 이루어져 왔으나, 계속적인 저저항 접촉 소재에 대한 요구에 의해 최근에는 Rare earth silicide에 관한 연구가 시작되고 있다. Rare-earth silicide는 저온에서 silicides를 형성하고, n-type Si과 낮은 schottky barrier contact (~0.3 eV)를 이룬다. 또한, 비교적 낮은 resistivity와 hexagonal AlB2 crystal structure에 의해 Si과 좋은 lattice match를 가져 Si wafer에서 high quality silicide thin film을 성장시킬 수 있다. Rare earth silicides 중에서 ytterbium silicide는 가장 낮은 electric work function을 갖고 있어 낮은 schottky barrier 응용에서 쓰이고 있다. 이로 인해, n-channel schottky barrier MOSFETs의 source/drain으로써 주목받고 있다. 특히 ytterbium과 molybdenum co-deposition을 하여 증착할 경우 thin film 형성에 있어 안정적인 morphology를 나타낸다. 또한, ytterbium silicide와 마찬가지로 낮은 면저항과 electric work function을 갖는다. 그러나 ytterbium silicide에 molybdenum을 화합물로써 높은 농도로 포함할 경우 높은 schottky barrier를 형성하고 epitaxial growth를 방해하여 silicide film의 quality 저하를 야기할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 ytterbium과 molybdenum의 co-deposition에 따른 silicide 형성과 전기적 특성 변화에 대한 자세한 분석을 TEM, 4-probe point 등의 다양한 분석 도구를 이용하여 진행하였다. Ytterbium과 molybdenum을 co-deposition하기 위하여 기판으로 $1{\sim}0{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$의 비저항을 갖는 low doped n-type Si (100) bulk wafer를 사용하였다. Native oxide layer를 제거하기 위해 1%의 hydrofluoric (HF) acid solution에 wafer를 세정하였다. 그리고 고진공에서 RF sputtering 법을 이용하여 Ytterbium과 molybdenum을 동시에 증착하였다. RE metal의 경우 oxygen과 높은 반응성을 가지므로 oxidation을 막기 위해 그 위에 capping layer로 100 nm 두께의 TiN을 증착하였다. 증착 후, 진공 분위기에서 rapid thermal anneal(RTA)을 이용하여 $300{\sim}700^{\circ}C$에서 각각 1분간 열처리하여 ytterbium silicides를 형성하였다. 전기적 특성 평가를 위한 sheet resistance 측정은 4-point probe를 사용하였고, Mo doped ytterbium silicide와 Si interface의 atomic scale의 미세 구조를 통한 Mo doped ytterbium silicide의 형성 mechanism 분석을 위하여 trasmission electron microscopy (JEM-2100F)를 이용하였다.

We have fabricated an integrated three-phase flux-lock type SFCL, which consists of an YBCO($YB_a2Cu_3O_7$) thin film and a flux-lock reactor wound around an iron core of each phase. In order to apply the SFCL in a real power system, fault analyses for the three-phase system are essential. The short-circuit currents were effectively limited by adjusting the numbers of winding of each secondary coil and their winding directions. The flux flow generated in the iron core cancelled out under the normal operation due to the parallel connection between primary and secondary windings. However, the flux-lock type SFCL with same iron core was operated just after the fault due to the flux generating in the iron core. To analyze the current limiting characteristics, the additive polarity winding was compared with the subtractive one in the flux lock reactor. Whenever a single line-to-ground fault occurred in any phase, the peak value of the line current of the fault phase in the additive polarity winding increased up to about 12.87 times during the first-half cycle. On the other hand, the peak value in the subtractive polarity winding increased up to about 34.07 times under the same conditions. This is because the current flow between the primary and the secondary windings changed to additive or subtractive status according to the winding direction. We confirmed that the current limiting behavior in the additive polarity winding was more effective for a single-line-to-ground fault

From 1994 the cooperation between NEU of China and MJU of South Korea for study of ReBaCuO (Re=Rare earth elements) superconductors has been carried out. The progress has been got in following projects. Critical current density ($J_c$) of YBaCuO superconductor prepared by Melting Textured Growth (MTG) was improved. In the preparation of textured YBaCuO, 20 wt.% of YBaCuO 211 phase was added, which would be climactic for the microcracks in the textured YBaCuO. The effects of the 211 phase and Ag content on the superconductivity were studied and discussed in detail. The improved $J_c$ value was reached to 8$\times$10^4 A/cm^2 (77K,0T). Single phase $YbBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{x}$ superconductor was sintered by the traditional powder metallurgical method, and its reaction process was studied. In recent years, NdBaCuO superconductor is being performed. The behavior of $Nd_{4}Ba_{2}Cu_{2}O_{10}$(Nd422 phase) and the solid solubility, x in the superconductor $Nd_{1+x}Ba_{2-x}Cu_{3}O_{y}$ by the heat treatment in the low oxygen partial pressure (1%) or Ar at $950{\circ}C$ were investigated. The zone-melting process was used to make oriented NdBaCuO superconductor in order to increase the critical current density.

Objective: In this study, the analgesic effect of gold injection aqua-acupuncture on CFA induced arthritis in rats was inverstigated. Furthermore, to determine the antinociceptive mechanism of gold injection aqua-acupuncture, naloxone and yohimbine were administrated intraperitoneally 15min prior to the gold injection aqua-acupuncture. Methods: The experimental groups were divided into 6 groups. Control group, NSI, AMI, AMI+SL : AMI+Nx, AMI+Yb. Thereafter we measured the chages of TFL between control and experimental groups. Results: 1. The tail flick latency induced by CFA was significantly increased on AMI as compared with the NSI group. 2. Effect of sodium aurothiomalate aqua-acupuncture in TFL on CFA was decreased after application of naloxone. The anti-nociceptive effect of AMI was completely antagonized by naloxone(an opioid receptor antagonist). 3. Effect of sodium aurothiomalate aqua-acupuncture in TFL on CFA was decreased after application of yohimbine. The anti-nociceptive effect of AMI was completely antagonized by yohimbine(${\alpha}2$-adrenoceptor antagonist). Conclusions: According to the results, gold injection aqua-acupuncture has significant analgesic effects on adjuvant induced arthritis in rats and the effect of anti-nociception was mediated by opiodergic system and ${\alpha}2$-adrenergic system.

As the minimum feature size of semiconductor devices scales down to nano-scale regime, ultra shallow junction is highly necessary to suppress short channel effect. At the same time, Ni-silicide has attracted a lot of attention because silicide can improve device performance by reducing the parasitic resistance of source/drain region. Recently, further improvement of device performance by reducing silicide to source/drain region or tuning the work function of silicide closer to the band edge has been studied extensively. Rare earth elements, such as Er and Yb, and Pd or Pt elements are interesting for n-type and p-type devices, respectively, because work function of those materials is closer to the conduction and valance band, respectively. In this paper, we increased the work function between Ni-silicide and source/drain by using Pd stacked structure (Pd/Ni/TiN) for high performance PMOSFET. We demonstrated that it is possible to control the barrier height of Ni-silicide by adjusting the thickness of Pd layer. Therefore, the Ni-silicide using the Pd stacked structure could be applied for high performance PMOSFET.

It is almost impossible to directly find the prime factor, p,q of a large semiprime, n=pq. So Most of the integer factorization algorithms uses a indirect method that find the prime factor of the p=GCD(a-b,n),q=GCD(a+b,n) after getting the congruence of squares of the $a^2{\equiv}b^2$(mod n). Many methods of getting the congruence of squares have proposed, but it is not easy to get with RSA number of greater than a 100-digit number. This paper proposes a fast algorithm to get the congruence of squares. The proposed algorithm succeeded in getting the congruence of squares to a 19-digit number.

About forty ore deposits of $CaF_2{\pm}Au{\pm}Ag{\pm}Cu{\pm}Pb{\pm}Zn$ are widely distributed in the Geumsan district and are believed to be genetically related to the Mesozoic Geumsan granitic rocks. Based on their petrogeochemistry and isotopic dating data, the granitic rocks in this district can be classified into two groups ; the Jurassic granitic rocks(equigranular leucocratic granite, porphyritic biotite granite, porphyritic pink-feldspar granite, seriate leucocratic granite) and the Cretaceous granitic rocks(seriate pink-feldspar granite, equigranular alkali-feldspar granite, equigranular pink-feldspar granite, miarolitic pink-feldspar granite, equigranular biotite granite). Spatial distribution of fluorite ore deposits, fluorine contents of granitic rocks and fracture patterns in this district suggest that three granitic rocks(equigranular biotite granite, equigranular pink-feldspar granite, miarolitic pink-feldspar granite) of the Cretaceous period be genetically related to the fluorite mineralization. In these fluorite-related granitic rocks, fluorine is most highly correlated with Cs(correlation coefficient(r)>0.9), and also highly with MnO, U, Sm, Yb, Lu, Zn, Y, Li(r>0.7). Statistically the variation of fluorine in the fluorite-related granitic rocks can be explained in terros of only three elements, such as Lu, CaO and Cs, and the fluorite-related granitic rocks can be discriminated from the fluorite-nonrelated granitic rocks by a linear functional equation of La, Ce, Cs and F($Z_{Ust}=-1.38341-0.00231F-0.19878Ce+0.38169La+0.54720Cs$). Also, equigranular alkali-feldspar granite is classified into the fluorite-related granitic rocks by means of the linear functional equation($Z_{Ust}$).

It has been well known that it is not easy to quantify pollutant loads driven by non-point source pollution due to various factors affecting generation and transport mechanism of it. Especially pollutant loads through baseflow have been investigated by limited number of researchers. Thus in this study, the Web-based WAPLE (WHAT-Pollutant Load Estimation) system was developed and applied at study watersheds to quantify baseflow contribution of pollutant. In YbB watershed, baseflow contribution with WWTP discharge is responsible for 49.5% of total pollutant loads at the watershed. Among these, pollutant loads through baseflow (excluding any WWTP discharge) is responsible for 61.7% of it. In GbA watershed, it was found that 58.4% is contributed by baseflow with WWTP discharge 2.9% and 97.1% is by baseflow. For NbB watershed (without WWTP discharge), 52.3% of pollutant load is transported through baseflow. As shown in this study, it was found that over 50.0% of TN (Total Nitrogen) pollutant loads are contributed by non-direct runoff. Thus pollutant loads contributed by baseflow and WWTP discharge as well as direct runoff contribution should be quantified to develop and implement watershed-specific Best Management Practices during dry period.
