The hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) sheet, a 2D material like graphene sheet, is comprised of boron and nitrogen atoms. Similar to graphene, h-BN sheet has attractive mechanical properties while it has a wide band gap unlike graphene. Recently, many experimental groups studied the growth of single BN layer by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method on the copper substrate. To study the initial stage of h-BN growth on the copper surface, we have performed density functional theory calculations. We investigate several adsorption sites of a boron or nitride atom on the Cu surfaces. Then, by increasing the number of adsorbed B and N atoms, we study formation behaviors of the BN flakes on the surface. Several types of BN flakes atoms such as triangular, linear, and hexagonal shapes are considered on the copper surface. We find that the formation of the BN flake in triangular shape is most favorable on the surface. On the basis of the theoretical results, we discuss the growth mechanism of h-BN layer on the copper surfaces in terms of its shapes in the initial stage of growth.

The corrosion of copper in $H_2$$SO_4$ $-H_2$$O_2$ etching solutions with amines was investigated at various flow rates (v). Amine additives give a retardation of $H_2$$O_2$ decompositions, increases in both corrosion rates and etch factor, and a protection of etched copper surfaces. However n-alkylamine additives acted as corrosion inhibitors at v < 10cm/s, those acted as corrosion accelerators at v of 10-220cm/s. The maximum corrosion rate was obtained with about 0.1 molal concentration of additives. Steric effects of substituted groups suppressed the acceleration of copper corrosion. The increases in both corrosion rates and flow rates gave the increase in etch factor. Corrosion rates with n-alkylamine increased in the order of ethylamine < n-propylamine < n-butylamine, those with butylamine isomers tert- < sec- < iso- < n-butylamine, and those with amine additives of different number of substituted groups tri- < di- < mono-n-propylamine, respectively.

The stability of engineered barriers in high-level radioactive waste disposal systems can be influenced by the decay heat generated by the waste. This study focuses on the thermal analysis of various canister designs to effectively lower the maximum temperature of the engineered barrier. A numerical model was developed and employed to investigate the heat dissipation potential of copper rings placed across the buffer. Various canister designs incorporating copper rings were presented, and numerical analysis was performed to identify the design with the most significant temperature reduction effect. The results confirmed that the temperature of the buffer material was effectively lowered with an increase in the number of copper rings penetrating the buffer. Parametric studies were also conducted to analyze the impact of technical gaps, copper thickness, and collar height on the temperature reduction. The numerical model revealed that the presence of gaps between the components of the engineered barrier significantly increased the buffer temperature. Furthermore, the reduction in buffer temperature varied depending on the location of the gap and collar. The methods proposed in this study for reducing the buffer temperature hold promise for contributing to cost reduction in radioactive waste disposal.

A lot study of convection heat transfer on internal flow has been extensively conducted in the past decades using of high specific surface area, increasing heat transfer coefficient, swirling flow and improving the transport properties. This study concerned with the application of a tangential slot swirl generator for improving heat transfer in a horizontal circular copper tube. The Al particles(about $100{\sim}130{\mu}m$) was employed for this experimental work. 3D PIV(particle image velocimetry) technique has employed to measure velocity profiles of Al particles with and without swirl flow. The copper tube is heated uniformly by winding of a heating coil for heat transfer work, having a resistance of 9 ohm per meter. Experiments are performed in the Reynolds number range of 6,800~12,100 with swirl and without swirl using Al particles. Experimental data for comparison of Nusselt number is presented that of with swirl and without swirl along the test tube for the Reynolds numbers. The Nusselt number is improved with increasing of Reynolds numbers or swirl intensities along the test tube. The Nusselt number with swirl flow is about 60.0% to 119.0% higher than that obtained by the Dittus-Boelter equation.

We have investigated gas-detection characteristics of CuTBP (Copper-tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine) chemiresistor devices exposed to air/200ppm N $O_{2}$ gases. The CuTBP films were made by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) techniques. Sensitivity, response time, recovery time, and reproducibility of the devices were measured by current voltage characteristics. Interdigital electrode was used to improve the sensitivity. It was observed that a conductance G increases monotonically as the number of interdigital electrode finger pairs increases. As the number of interdigital electrode finger pairs increases, the sensitivity S( $G_{gas}$/ $G_{air}$) increases more than 50 times and stable. But the response time was delayed. The average recovery time of the CuTBP chemiresistor devices turned out to be about 100 second. We have also investigated applicability of the CuTBP chemiresistor device for a gas sensor.sor.

This research was conducted using a model home plumbing system composed of copper, stainless steel, galvanized iron, carbon steel, and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipe. The number of bacteria present in stainless steel pipe and PVC was higher than other pipes. High turbidity and zinc release were found in galvanized iron pipe material and detected during the first 6 months. Conversely, there was a decrease in turbidity and zinc release after 6 months resulting in levels similar to other pipes. Copper concentration decreased as operation times increased. In this experiment, the number of bacteria detected in biofilm for a copper pipe continued to increase. Pipe material influenced bacterial numbers in biofilm and water. This showed that elevated chlorine could not control bacterial growth in biofilm for galvanized iron and stainless steel systems. It also suggested that the dosing of chlorine might not be available for all kinds of pipes. Therefore, another complementary method should be introduced to manage biofilm effectively in water distribution systems.

A Cu-Fe-P copper alloy was processed by accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) for ultra grain refinement and high strengthening. Two 1mm thick copper sheets, 30 mm wide and 300 mm long, were first degreased and wire-brushed for sound bonding. The sheets were then stacked on top of each other and roll-bonded by about 50% reduction rolling without lubrication at ambient temperature. The bonded sheet was then cut into two pieces of the same dimensions and the same procedure was repeated for the sheets up to eight cycles. Microstructural evolution of the copper alloy with the number of the ARB cycles was investigated by optical microscopy (OM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), and electron back scatter diffraction(EBSD). The grain size decreased gradually with the number of ARB cycles, and was reduced to 290 nm after eight cycles. The boundaries above 60% of ultrafine grains formed exhibited high angle boundaries above 15 degrees. In addition, the average misorientation angle of ultrafine grains was 30 degrees.

본 연구는 고온 고압의 전열(electrothermal)플라즈마내에 존재하는 구리원자의 발광 스펙트럼을 정량적으로 분석하는 방법에 대해 논하였다. 플라즈마는 플라즈마 발생장치내에 설치되어 있는 모세관 양단의 두 개의 전극이 방전함으로써 발생하며 고속으로 대기를 향해 전파해 나간다. 플라즈마의 특성을 분석하기 위해서는 플라즈마의 여기온도나 전자밀도와 같은 물리량의 측정이 필요하다. 그러나 여기온도나 전자밀동와 직접적으로 관련이 있는 발광 스펙트럼은 분광시스템의 파장에 따른 서로다른 응답 특성 때문에 왜곡되어질 수 있다 따라서 본 연구에서는 펄스 플라즈마 제트로부터 얻은 구리원자의 발광 스펙트럼을 정밀하게 보정하는 방법을 제시하였다.

고 에너지 전자선 치료에 있어서 차폐물질은 종양조직 외 정상조직이나 주요장기를 보호하기 위해 사용된다. 하지만 이러한 물질에서 발생되어지는 산란선은 심부선량에 영향을 줄 수 있으며, 물질원자번호에 따라 다르게 나타난다. 이에 차폐물질로써 사용가능한 알루미늄, 구리, 납 등의 다양한 원자번호 물질을 전하 감약율 95% 되는 두께로 하여 측정과 MCNPX 모의계산으로 산란율을 비교분석하였다. 산란선 영향을 많이 받는 표면의 선량변화율은 최대 물질두께에서 +0.88%, 원자번호에서 +0.43%의 영향을 받으며, 전하 감약율 95% 되는 두께의 알루미늄, 구리, 납 물질은 측정에서 +19.70%, +15.20%, +12.40% 계산에서 +25.00%, +15.10%, +13.70%를 보였다. 이로 인해 산란율은 물질두께가 원자번호보다 많은 영향을 주며, 산란전자가 광자보다 많은 기여를 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이에 임상에서의 적절한 차폐물질은 두께영향 산란선이 적게 방출되는 고 원자번호물질이 적당하다고 사료된다.

2가 금속인 구리와 아연을 다양한 농도로 각각 담배모자이크 바이러스(TMV)에 처리하여 감염성에 어떤 영향을 주는 가를 조사하였다. TMV의 감염성은 아연의 첨가에 의해 활성화된 반면, 구리의 첨가에 의해 감소되었다. 아연을 첨가한 바이러스 접종원을 담배 잎에 처리한 결과 바이러스만을 접종한 잎보다 더 많은 국부반점이 생성되었다. TMV의 감염성을 감소시키는 구리의 효과는 구리의 농도에 관련되는 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 전기영동으로 다양한 농도의 구리와 아연에 처리된 TMV를 분석한 결과 그 특성이 변화됨이 관찰되었다. 아연 200mM 이상의 농도에 노출시 바이러스는 완전히 분해되었고, 40-20 mM 농도에서는 간신히 바이러스의 흔적을 찾을 수 있으나, 2 mM 농도에서는 상당히 안정되었다. 구리의 경우 20 mM 이하의 농도에 처리되었을 때 구조적으로 완전하게 남아있으나, 100 mM 이상의 처리에서는 완전히 분해되었다.
