Microalloyed steels, which substituted by conventional quenched and tempered steels, have been used in a wide variety of structural and engineering application. The main driving force for preference of MA steels is a cost reduction which can be achieved by an omission of heat treatment. In this study, low carbon martensitic MA steels in 0.18C-0.30(0.60)Si-2.00(1.80)Mn-0.05S-1.5Cr-0.05(0.10)V-0.015Ti(wt%) were investigated to know the effects of cooling method on the mechanical properties and microstructures of Si, Mn, V added microalloyed steel at different reheating temperature. Microstructure of oil quenched steels which were comprised lath martensite, auto-tempered martensite and retained austenite, had more various structure than that of air cooled steel made of mainly bainite. Therefore, oil quenched steels, which had more various microstructure, had better strength-toughness balance compare to air cooled steels. In the impact test, fracture mode of oil quenched steels, which showed good mechanical properties, were dimple, but that of air cooled steels were cleavage.

Nano hybrid superlattices consisting of organic and inorganic components have great potential for creation of new types of functional material by utilizing the wide variety of properties which differ from their constituents. They provide the opportunity for developing new materials with new useful properties. Herein, we fabricated new type of organic-inorganic nano hybrid superlattice thin films by a sequential, self-limiting surface chemistry process known as molecular layer depostion (MLD) combined with atomic layer deposition (ALD). An organic layer was formed at $150^{\circ}C$ using MLD with repeated sequintial adsorption of Hydroquinone and Titanium tetrachloride. A $TiO_2$ inorganic nanolayer was deposited at the same temperature using ALD with alternating surface-saturating reactions of Titanium tetrachloride and water. Using UV-Vis spectroscopy, we confirmed visible light absorption by LMCT. And FTIR spectroscopy and XPS were employed to determine the chemical composition. Ellipsometry and TEM analysis were also used to confirm linear growth of the film versus number of MLD cycles at all same temperature. In addition, p-n junction diodes domonstrated in this study suggest that the film can be suitable for n-type semiconductors.

We have studied the effect of crystallization temperature, composition and film thickness, which are the fundamental processing parameters of lead zirconate titanate(PZT) thin film fabrication, in the respect of the piezoelectric properties by our pneumatic loading method(PLM). A great deal of research has been done in the field of characterization for piezoelectric thin films after the first report on the measurement for the piezoelectric coefficient of thin films in 1990. Even though the piezoelectric properties of thin films are very critical factors in the micro-electro mechanical system(MEMS) and thin film sensor devices, a few reports for the piezoelectric characterization are provided for the last decade unlikely the bulk piezoelectric devices. We have found that the piezoelectric properties of thin films are improved as the increase of crystallization temperature up to 750$\^{C}$ and this behavior can be also explained by the analysis of dielectric polarization hysteresis loop, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The effect of Zr/Ti composition has been also studied. This gives us the fact that the maximum piezoelectricity is found near Morphotropic Phase Boundary(MPB) as bulk PZT system does.

Embedded capacitor technology can improve electrical perfomance and reduce assembly cost compared with traditional discrete capacitor technology. To improve the capacitance density of the $Al_2O_3$ based embedded capacitor on Cu cladded fiber reinforced plastics (FR-4), the specific surface area of the $Al_2O_3$ thin films was enlarged and their surface morphologies were controlled by anodization process parameters. From I-V characteristics, it was found that breakdown voltage and leakage current were 23 V and $1{\times}10^{-6}A/cm^2$ at 3.3 V, respectively. We have also measured C-V characteristics of $Pt/Al_2O_3/Al/Ti$ structure on CU/FR4. The capacitance density was $300nF/cm^2$ and the dielectric loss was 0.04. This nano-porous $Al_2O_3$ is a good material candidate for the embedded capacitor application for electronic products.

In this paper, in order to develop excellent composition ceramics for a piezoelectric energy- harvesting device, we synthesized $0.99(Na_{0.52}\;K_{0.443}\;Li_{0.037})(Nb_{0.883}\;Sb_{0.08}\;Ta_{0.037})O_3$ + $0.01(Sr_{0.95}Ca_{0.05})TiO_3$ + $0.3\;wt%\;Bi_2O_3\;+\;0.3\;wt%\;Fe_2O_3\;+\;0.3\;wt%\;CuO$ (abbreviated as NKN-SCT) ceramics with different sintering times, using the ordinary solid-state reaction method. The effect of sintering time on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties was investigated. The ceramics with the sintering time of 7 h have the optimum values of the piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$), piezoelectric voltage constant ($g_{33}$), planar piezoelectric coupling coefficient (kp), mechanical quality factor (Qm), and dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}r$): $d_{33}=314[pC/N]$, $g_{33}=20.07[10^{-3}mV/N]$, kp = 0.442, Qm = 93, ${\varepsilon}r=1,768$, all being suitable for a piezoelectric energy-harvesting device.

Calcineurin governs stress survival, sexual differentiation, and virulence of the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. Herein, we identified and characterized calcineurin substrates in C. neoformans by employing phosphoproteomic $TiO_2$ enrichment and quantitative mass spectrometry. The identified targets include the zinc finger transcription factor Crz1 and proteins whose functions are linked to P-bodies/stress granules (PBs/SGs) and mRNA translation and decay, such as Pbp1 and Puf4. We show that Crz1 is a bona fide calcineurin substrate, and localization and transcriptional activity of Crz1 are controlled by calcineurin. Several of the calcineurin targets localized to PBs/SGs, including Puf4 and Pbp1, and are required for survival at high temperature and for virulence. Genetic epistasis analysis revealed that Crz1 and the novel targets Lhp1, Puf4, and Pbp1 function in a branched calcineurin pathway that orchestrates stress survival and virulence. These findings propose that calcineurin controls thermal stress and virulence at the transcriptional level via Crz1 and post-transcriptionally by regulating target factors involved in mRNA metabolism.

전자싸이클로트론공명플라즈마 화학기상증착법(ECR-PECVD)에 의한 Pt 및 $RuO_2$ 기판에서의 PZT 박막의 증착특성 및 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. $RuO_2$ 기판에서는 Pt 기판에 비하여 Pb-관련 이차상이 형성되기 쉬웠고, PZT 페로브스카이트 핵생성이 어려웠다. 하지만, $RuO_2$ 기판에서도 금속유기 원료기체의 정확한 유량조절(특히, $Pb(DPM)_2$ 유량)과 Ti-oxide 씨앗층의 도입을 통하여 $450^{\circ}C$의 비교적 낮은 증착온도에서 단일한페로브스카이트 박막 제조가 가능하였으며, $RuO_2$ 기판에서도 미세구조가 향상된 PZT 박막의 경우 $10^{-6}A/cm^2@100kV/cm$의 우수한 누설전류 특성을 나타내었다. 4 가지 전극배열의 PZT 커패시터들 중에서 $RuO_2//RuO_2$ 커패시터는 누설전류밀도가 $10^{-4}A/cm^2@100kV/cm$ 정도로 높았지만, 피로현상은 나타나지 않았다. 일방향 전계 (unipolar) 피로특성에서 나타난 polarization-shift 현상과 양방향 전계 (bipolar) 피로특성의 온도의존성 결과는 PZT 박막내 charged defect의 이동이 어려움을 나타내었다. Bipolar 신호에 의한 피로현상은 인가전계에 의한 분극반전 과정에서 Pt 계면에서 charged defect의 형성과 관련이 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 또한, 상하부 전극물질 이 다른 경우에는 상하부 계면의 charged defect 밀도에 차이가 생겨 내부전계가 형성되는 것으로 판단되었다.

In this paper, $0.10Pb(Sb_{1/2}Sn_{1/2})O_3-0.25PbTiO_3-0.65PbZrO_3$ ceramics were fabricated by the mixed-oxide method. The sintering temperature and time were $1230^{\circ}C$ and 2[hr], respectively. The structural, dielectric and piezoelectric properties with addition of NiO were studied. The crystal structure of a specimen was rhombohedral. As a result of SEM, the average grain size were decreased with increasing the contents of NiO. But the grains of the specimens doped with 0.4wt% NiO were increased, due to deposits of excess NiO at grain boundaries in the liquid phase. Relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the specimen doped with 0.1wt% NiO were 701 and 0.026, respectively.

Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Elemental Analysis Syztem (EAS) were applied to the investiga-tion of the Characteristics and sources of wintertime atmospheric aerosols in Seoul. Atmospheric aerosols were collected by both fine and coarse fractions using a two-stage filter pack sampler from Kon-Kuk university during the winter season of 1999. PIXE was applied to the analysis of the middle and heavy elements with atomic numbers greater than 14(Si) and EAS was applied to the measurement of the light elements such as H, C and N. The fact that 64.2% of mass of fine particles in Seoul consists of the light elements (N, C , and H) suggests that the measurement of light elements is extremely important. The average mass concentration is Seoul was 38.6$\mu\textrm{g}$m(sup)-3. Elements such as Ca, Fe, Mg, and Ti appeared to have very low Fine/Coarse ratios(0.1∼0.4), whereas che-mical components related to anthropogenic sources such as Br, V, Pb, and Zn were observed to accumulate in the fine fraction. In the Asian Dust Storm(ADS) event, the concentation of soil components increased dramatically. Reconstruction of the fine mass concentrations estimated by a newly revised simple model was fairly in good agreement with the measured ones. Source identification was attempted using the enrichment factor and Pearsons coefficient of correlation. The typical elements derived from each source could be classified by this method.

The effect of $MnO_{2}$ as a sintering additive on the microstructures and the piezoelectric properties, especially mechanical quality factor, of 0.05 Pb$(Sb_{0.5}Nb_{0.5})O_{3}$-0.95 Pb$(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_{3}$ (PSN-PZT) piezoelectric ceramics was investigated. The samples were sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The crystal structure and surface morphology of the sample were examined using XRD and FE-SEM, respectively. A study on the influence of $MnO_{2}$ additives on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties showed that the $MnO_{2}$-added PSN-PZT system exhibited a high mechanical quality factor and well-situated piezoelectric properties. The optimized results of $d_{33}$ (319 pC/N), $k_{p}$ (55 %), and $Q_{m}$ (751.24) were obtained at 0.2 wt% $MnO_{2}$ added PSN-PZT piezoelectrics.
