Experiments related to Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) accomplished at the Institute of Nuclear Techniques (INT), Budapest University of Technology and Economics (TUB) are presented. Relevant investigations are required before designing BNCT for vivo applications. Samples of relevant boron compounds (H₃BO₃, BDTPA) usually employed in BNCT were investigated with neutron beam. Channel #5 in the research reactor (100 kW) of INT-TUB provides the neutron beam. Boron samples are mounted on a carrier for neutron irradiation. The particle attenuation of several carrier materials was investigated, and the one with the lowest attenuation was selected. The effects of boron compound type, mass, and compound phase state were also investigated. To detect the emitted charged particles, a traditional ZnS(Ag) detector was employed. The neutron beam's interaction with the detector-detecting layer is investigated. Graphite (as a moderator) was employed to change the neutron beam's characteristics. The fast neutron beam was also thermalized by placing a portable fast neutron source in a paraffin container and irradiating the H₃BO₃. The obtained results suggest that the direct measurement approach appears to be insufficiently sensitive for determining the radiation dose committed by the Alpha particles from the ¹⁰B (n,α) reaction. As a result, a new approach must be used.

Twelve kinds (1set) standard materials of chemical ingredients of lead zirconate titanate[$Pb(ZrTi)O_3$] have been developed in order to determine fast and accurate measurement of X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Especially, we used diluted(ahout sixteen times) filling compound($Li_2B_4O_7/LiBO_2=4/1$) to consider removal effect of matrix, storage convenience, and homogenous characteristics. As a result from the four different laboratories, we obtained extremly good agreement about the standard curve on twelve standard materials which containing eleven elements, PbO, $ZrO_2$, $TiO_2$, SrO, $WO_3$, $La_2O_3$, $Cr_2O_3$, MgO, $Nb_2O_5$, and $MnO_2$. The correlation factor of standard curve was over 0.998. However, ZnO has relatively low correlation factor, 0.977, because the concentration was 10ppm lower than other original materials. This analysis reveals that ZnO has shown the poor linearity as well as low fluorescence intensity. In present work, XRF standard materials are useful for determining a rapid and accurate results for major and minor elements concentration among PZT.

Methyl alcohol is one of the basic intermediates in the chemical industry and is also being used as a fuel additive and as a clean burning fuel. In this study, conversion of carbon dioxide to methyl alcohol was investigated using catalytic chemical methods. Ceramic monoliths (M) with $400cell/in^2$ were used as catalyst supports. Monolith-supported CuO-ZnO catalysts were prepared by wash-coat method. The prepared catalysts were characterized by using ICP analysis, TEM images and XRD patterns. The catalytic activity for carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methyl alcohol was investigated using a flow-type reactor under various reaction temperature, pressure and contact time. In the preparation of monolith-supported CuO-ZnO catalysts by wash-coat method, proper concentration of precursors solution was 25.7% (w/v). The mixed crystal of CuO and ZnO was well supported on monolith. And it was known that more CuO component may be supported than ZnO component. Conversion of carbon dioxide was increased with increasing reaction temperature, but methyl alcohol selectivity was decreased. Optimum reaction temperature was about $250^{\circ}C$ under 20 atm because of the reverse water gas shift reaction. Maximum yield of methyl alcohol over CuO-ZnO/M catalyst was 5.1 mol% at $250^{\circ}C$ and 20 atm.

본 연구에서는 고주파 마그네트론 스퍼터링방법을 사용하여 ITO박막을 대체할 수 있는 새로운 TCO박막으로서 $TiO_2$가 도핑된 ZnO(TZO) 박막을 성막하였다. 이때, $TiO_2$의 도핑량을 1wt.%에서 5wt.%까지 변화를 주었으며 제작된 TZO 박막에 대해서 전기적 특성과 광학적 특성들의 조성비와 박막두께의 할수로서 조사하였다. 그 결과, $TiO_2$가 2wt.% 도핑된 박막에서 가장 낮은 $1\times10^{-3}\Omega{\cdot}cm$의 비저항이 얻어졌으며, $TiO_2$의 도핑량이 증가함에 따라 비저항은 점점 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와같은 비저항의 변화는 $TiO_2$도핑량이 다른 TZO박막의 홀이동도(Hall mobility)에 비례하며, 이동도는 결국 TZO박막을 형성하고 있는 결정립의 크기에 의존하는 것이 X선 회절 패턴으로부터 확인되었다. XRD 패턴에서 ZnO(002) 방향의 결정성이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 도핑량이 증가할수록(002)피크의 크기가 점점 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있다. 이는 결정성의 크기가 2wt.%일 때 가장 크며 도핑량이 증가할수록 결정성의 크기가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 결정립의 크기변화는 TZO박막의 전기적 이동도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타난다. 즉, 2wt.%일 때 이동도가 가장 크며 도핑량이 증가할수록, 이동도가 감소하였으며 이결과는 TZO박막의 Hall effect 측정으로부터 확인된다. 따라서, $TiO_2$도핑량에 따른 TZO 박막의 비저항을 도핑량이 2wt.%일 때 가장 낮으며 이는 TZO 박막의 결정성이 가장 우수하였으며 그결과 이동도가 증가했기 때문인 것으로 확인되었다.

$(Ga_2O_3)_x(ZnO)_{100-x}$ (GZO) films were prepared at room temperature by using a facing target sputtering (FTS) system and their electrical resistivites was investigated as a function of the $Ga_2O_3$ content. The GZO film with an atomic ratio of $Ga_2O_3$ of x= 7 wt.%, shows the lowest resistivity of $7.5{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. The GZO films were also prepared at various substrate temperatures from room temperature to $300^{\circ}C$, and their electrical resistivity was found to be improved as the substrate temperature was increased, A very low resistivity of $2.8{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ that is almost comparable with that of ITO film was obtained in the GZO films prepared at the substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ by using the FTS.

The contaminated soils near abandoned mine area can threaten human's health and natural ecosystems through multiple pathways. Remediation of contaminated soil using physicochemical technologies are expensive and destructive of soil environments. On the other hand, environmentally friendly approach that maximize biological remediation, that is, phytoremediation, attracts attention as a low carbon green growth technology. This research is a field demonstration study, focused on the enhanced phytoremediation by bioaugmenting PGPR(Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria)that is helpful on the growth of and heavy metal removal by Echinochloa frumentacea, at a Zn contaminated paddy soil near SamBo mine at Hwasung, Kyunggi. The results showed that the zinc removal by the plant with PSM(Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria), a kind of PGPR, was three times higher than that by the control. The results are valuable as it is a result from the field-scale technology demonstration. The results also implies that application of PGPR can enhance heavy metal removal from contaminated soil in full scale phytoremediation using Echinochloa frumentacea.

Ga doped ZnO (GZO) thin films were deposited with RF magnetron sputtering on glass substrate and then the effect of post deposition annealing at nitrogen atmosphere on the structural, optical and electrical properties of the films was investigated. The post deposition annealing process was conducted for 30 minutes at different temperature of 150, 300 and $450^{\circ}C$, respectively. As increase annealing temperature, GZO films show the increment of the prefer orientation of ZnO (002) diffraction peak in the XRD pattern and the optical transmittance in a visible wave region was also increased, while the electrical sheet resistance was decreased. The figure of merit obtained in this study means that GZO films which vacuum annealed at $450^{\circ}C$ have the highest optoelectrical performance in this study.
