$TiB_2$-reinforced iron matrix composite (Fe-$TiB_2$) powder was in-situ fabricated from titanium hydride ($TiH_2$) and iron boride (FeB) powders by the mechanical activation and a subsequent reaction. Phase formation of the composite powder was identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology and phase composition were observed and measured by field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The results showed that $TiB_2$ particles formed in nanoscale were uniformly distributed in Fe matrix. $Fe_2B$ phase existed due to an incomplete reaction of Ti and FeB. Effect of milling process and synthesis temperature on the formation of composite were discussed.

Recently graphene has emerged as a fascinating 2D system in condensed-matter physics as well as a new material for the development of nanotechnology. The unusual electronic band structure of graphene allows it to exhibit a strong ambipolar electric field effect with high mobility. These properties lead to the possibility of its application in high-performance transparent conducting films (TCFs). Compared to indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes, which have a typical sheet resistance of ${\sim}60{\Omega}$/sq and ~85 % transmittance in the visible range (400?900 nm), the CVD-grown graphene electrodes have a higher/flatter transmittance in the visible to IR region and are more robust under bending. Nevertheless, the lowest sheet resistance of the currently available CVD graphene electrodes is higher than that of ITO. Here, we report an ingenious strategy, irradiation of MeV electron beam (e-beam) at room temperature under ambient condition, for obtaining size-homogeneous gold nanoparticle decorated on graphene. The nano-particlization promoted by MeV e-beam irradiation was investigated by transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy elemental mapping, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. These results clearly revealed that gold nanoparticle with 10 ~ 15 nm in mean size were decorated along the surface of the graphene after 1.5 MeV-e-beam irradiation. A chemical transformation and charge transfer for the metal gold nanoparticle were systematically explored by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. This approach advances the numerous applications of graphene films as transparent conducting electrodes.

Graphene, with its unique physical and structural properties, has recently become a proving ground for various physical phenomena, and is a promising candidate for a variety of electronic device and flexible display applications. The physical properties of graphene depend directly on the thickness. These properties lead to the possibility of its application in high-performance transparent conducting films (TCFs). Compared to indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes, which have a typical sheet resistance of ~60 ${\Omega}/sq$ and ~85% transmittance in the visible range, the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesized graphene electrodes have a higher transmittance in the visible to IR region and are more robust under bending. Nevertheless, the lowest sheet resistance of the currently available CVD graphene electrodes is higher than that of ITO. Here, we report an ingenious strategy, irradiation of MeV electron beam (e-beam) at room temperature under ambient condition,for obtaining size-homogeneous gold nanoparticle decorated on graphene. The nano-particlization promoted by MeV e-beam irradiation was investigated by transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy elemental mapping, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. These results clearly revealed that gold nanoparticle with 10~15 nm in mean size were decorated along the surface of the graphene after 1.0 MeV-e-beam irradiation. The fabrication high-performance TCF with optimized doping condition showed a sheet resistance of ~150 ${\Omega}/sq$ at 94% transmittance. A chemical transformation and charge transfer for the metal gold nanoparticle were systematically explored by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. This approach advances the numerous applications of graphene films as transparent conducting electrodes.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods were grown on a palladium (Pd) activated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber where Pd activation was carried out in advance by the following dry process: palladium(II) bis(acetylacetonate), $Pd(acac)_2$ was sublimed, penetrated into the surface of PAN fiber and spontaneously reduced to Pd nanoparticles at $180^{\circ}C$ for various times under a nitrogen atmosphere. ZnO nanorod morphology was observed by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the elemental composition was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The crystalline structure of ZnO nanorods was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showing Wurtzite structure consisting of hexagonal lattice. Sulfur removal characteristics were evaluated.

This study investigates the high temperature oxidation behaviour of a Ni-20Cr-1.2Si (wt.%) alloy in steam from 1200 ℃ to 1350 ℃ by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The results demonstrate that exposed Ni-based alloy developed a thin oxide scale, consisted mainly of Cr₂O₃. The oxidation kinetics obtained from the experimental results was applied to evaluate the hydrogen generation considering a simplified reactor core model with different cladding alloys following an unmitigated Loss-Of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) scenario in a hypothetical Small Modular Reactor (SMR). Overall, experimental data and simulations results show that both Fe-based and Ni-based alloys may enhance cladding survivability, delaying its melting, as well as reducing hydrogen generation under accident conditions compared to Zr-based alloys. However, a substantial neutron absorption occurs when Ni-based alloys are used as cladding for current uranium-dioxide fuel systems, even when compared to Fe-based alloys.

In this study, porcelain bonding strength and mechanical properties of sintered Ni-Cr-Ti alloy for dental prosthodontics have been researched experimentally. Mechanical and morphological characteristics of the alloys were examined by Vickers hardness test, tensile and bonding strength test, surface roughness test, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. In the sintered Ni-13Cr-xTi alloys, morphology of sintered alloy showed porous matrix diffused with alloying elements of Cr and Ti, and showed dendritic structure after melting process. From the XRD results, the second phases of NiCr, $Ni_3Cr$, and $Ni_3Ti$ were formed in the case of sintered and melted Ni-13Cr-xTi alloys. The tensile strength and hardness of Ni-13Cr-xTi alloys increased, as Ti content increased. Surface roughness increased, as Ti content increased. The bonding strength between metal and porcelain of Ni-13Cr-5Ti alloy was higher than those of Ni-13Cr and Ni-13Cr-10Ti alloys

화학적 증기증착(Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD) 방법을 이용하여 단결정 Indium antimonide (InSb) 나노와이어를 $SiO_2$ wafer 위에 성장시켰으며, 성장된 InSb 나노와이어의 결정성과 조성비를 X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)과 Energy Dispersive x-ray Spectroscopy (EDS)의 측정을 통하여 확인하였다. 또한, 반응 source로 사용된 InSb 분말의 기상화(vaporization) 정도를 source container의 모형, 즉 open 및 close 시스템으로 변형하여 조절하였고 이렇게 성장된 InSb 나노와이어들의 구조적 특성을 주사전자현미경(Scaning Electron Microscopy, SEM)을 통하여 자세히 분석함으로써, 그들의 성장과정을 Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) 및 Vapor-Solid (VS) 메커니즘으로 설명하였다. Open-boat를 사용하여 나노와이어를 성장시켰을 경우, close-boat 의 경우와 비교하여 합성된 나노와이어의 yield가 높았으며 나노와이어의 길이와 두께도 증가하는 현상이 관측되었다. 이러한 결과는, InSb source 의 기상화 정도가 close-boat에서 보다 open-boat에서 더욱 가속화되면서 공통적으로 일어나는 VLS 성장 이외에 VS 성장이 추가적으로 진행되어지기 때문으로 추측되어진다. 또한, 반응시간을 증가시켰을 때, 나노와이어의 두께가 증가하는 결과를 통하여 InSb 나노와이어의 성장에서 VS 메커니즘이 우세하게 작용하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 Sol-Gel 방법을 이용하여 단일상의 Barium ferrite 분말을 제조하였으며, 이때 Ba에 대한 Fe(Fe/Ba)의 몰비와 열처리 온도를 달리하여 단일상의 Barium ferrite를 제조하기 위한 최적의 실험조건을 찾고자 하였다. 또한 고밀도 자기기록매체에 사용되기 위한 2.5 ~ 5.5 kOe 크기의 보자력을 가지는 ferrite 미립자 제조를 위해 보자력 제어에 뛰어난 효과를 지닌 cobalt를 첨가제로 하여 cobalt가 치환된 Barium ferrite 미립자를 제조하고 이들에 대한 자기적 특성 변화를 조사하였다. 제조된 Barium ferrite의 결정구조 및 단일상의 합성여부를 확인하기 위해 X-Ray Diffractometer(XRD), Thermogravimetric-Differential Thermal Analysis(TG-DTA), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope(FE-SEM)을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 화학적 구조와 조성의 분석을 위해 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FT-IR), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer(EDS)를 사용하였다. 또한 Vibrating Sample Magnetometer(VSM)을 통해 cobalt가 치환된 Barium ferrite 분말의 보자력을 측정하였다. 그 결과 단일상의 Barium ferrite는 Fe/Ba의 몰비가 10, 900 ℃의 열처리 온도에서 가장 잘 합성되었다. Co의 첨가량이 증가할수록 보자력은 감소하였으며 Fe에 대한 Co(Co/Fe)의 몰비가 0.16 이내 일 때, 고밀도 자기기록매체에 사용할 수 있는 보자력 값인 2.5 ~ 5.5 kOe를 가지는 Barium ferrite가 합성되었다.

COF (Chip on film)용 폐에칭용액 내 구리가 약 3.5% 함유되어 있으며, 철 시편을 사용한 시멘테이션을 통해 구리를 회수하고자 하였다. 철 시편 3종류(플레이트, 칩, 분말)에 따른 시멘테이션 반응에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며, 구리의 회수율을 높이고자 구리에 대한 철의 몰 비를 변수로 하였다. 반응 전·후 용액 내 시간에 따른 구리 농도의 변화를 확인하였으며, 몰 비를 증가시킬수록 초기 용액 내 구리 함량이 급격히 줄어드는 경향이 나타났다. 상온에서 1시간의 시멘테이션 반응 후 철 시편의 비표면적 값이 큰 플레이트, 칩, 분말 순으로 구리의 회수율이 증가하였다. 회수된 분말은 X선 회절 분석기(X-ray diffraction, XRD), 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscopy, SEM) 및 에너지 분산형 분광분석법(Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, EDM) 분석을 통해 결정상과 결정 형태를 확인하였으며, 철 분말의 경우에는 회수된 구리 분말에 미반응된 철 성분이 혼재하였다. 구리에 대한 철의 몰 비 4의 조건으로 철 칩을 사용하였을 때, 구리 회수율 약 98.4%로 최적 조건으로 달성하였다.
