Highly ordered and perforated anodic aluminum oxide membranes were prepared by anodic oxidation and subsequent removal of the barrier layer. By using these homemade anodic aluminum oxide membranes as templates, metal selenide nanowires and nanotubes were synthesized. The structure and composition of these one-dimensional nanomaterials were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy as well as transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The growth process of metal selenide inside anodic aluminum oxide channel was traced by investigating the series of samples using scanning electron microscopy after reacting for different times. Straight and dense copper selenide and silver selenide nanowires with a uniform diameter were successfully prepared. In case of nickel selenide, nanotubes were preferentially formed. Phase and crystallinity of the nanostructured materials were also investigated.

The age-hardening behavior and the structural changes in a commercial dental Au-Ag-Cu-Pd alloy were investigated by means of hardness test, optical and scanning electron microscopic observation, energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction study. The drastic reduction in hardness by prolonged aging occurred after a rapid increase in hardness at the initial stage by the isothermal aging at $350^{\circ}C$. This softening was due to the broad precipitates formation of the lamellar structure which was composed of the f.c.t. AuCu I ordered f.c.t. phase containing Pd and the f.c.c. Ag-rich $\alpha$1 solid solution f.c.c.phase containing Au.

This study aims at investigating the wear behavior of thermally sprayed Ni-based self-flux alloy coatings against different counterparts. Ni-based self-flux alloy powders were flame-sprayed onto a carbon steel substrate and then heat-treated at temperature of $1000^{\circ}C$. Dry sliding wear tests were performed using the sliding speeds of 0.2 and 0.8 m/s and the applied loads of 5 and 20 N. AISI 52100, $Al_2O_3$, $Si_3N_4$ and $ZrO_2$ balls were used as counterpart materials. Wear behavior of Ni-based self-flux alloy coatings against different counterparts were studied using a scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). It was revealed that wear behavior of Ni-based self-flux alloy coatings were much influenced by counterpart materials.

Microstructural analysis was conducted to observe the effect of aging treatments in a Cr-Mn austenitic stainless steel containing nitrogen, and the amount, size, shape and distribution of precipitates were investigated. It was found that on water quenching from $1000^{\circ}C$ after holding 3 h at that temperature, the steel contained no precipitates observable by optical microscopy. Precipitation of phases begins at places most favorable for the formation of nuclei-in the boundaries of grains and twins. Precipitates were studied in detail by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Chemical compositions of precipitates were examined by the use of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) together with an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis. Also chromium depletion adjacent to grain boundary precipitates was investigated by the use of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) for a direct examination of the fracture surface chemistry.

The corrosion protection behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloy (Mg alloy) with cathodic electrophoretic coating (E-coating) pretreated by cerium-based conversion coatings at various pH was investigated in this study. Cerium-based conversion coatings (CeCCs) were deposited on AZ31 Mg alloy by immersion treatment in the nitrate-based cerium salt solution. The morphology and composition of the CeCCs were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The corrosion properties of the AZ31 Mg alloy pretreated with cerium coating and subsequently E-coated were studied during salt-spray testing. The surface morphologies of the E-coated Mg alloy were examined in detail after different testing times using digital photography. It was found that the protective properties of the E-coating on AZ31 Mg alloy generated are heavily dependent upon the CeCC factors such as treatment time, coating thickness and pH of the solution.

In this study, in order to improve the thermal and electrical properties of epoxy/graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), surface modifications of GNPs are conducted using silane coupling agents. Three silane coupling agents, i.e. 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)-ethyltrimethoxysilane (ETMOS), 3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane (GPTS), and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS), were used. Among theses, GPTMS exhibits the best modification performance for fabricating GNP-incorporated epoxy composites. The effect of the silanization is evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The electrical and thermal conductivities are characterized. The epoxy/silanized GNPs exhibits higher thermal and electrical properties than the epoxy/raw GNPs due to the improved dispersion state of the GNPs in the epoxy matrix. The TEM microphotographs and Turbiscan data demonstrate that the silane molecules grafted onto the GNP surface improve the GNP dispersion in the epoxy.

In this paper. we studied cut off characteristics and fire hazard of residual current protective devices(RCD or ELB) for low voltage. The operative time of RCD with grounding resistance was analyzed by using RCD operating tester. The surface structure and composition of insulator were analyzed by using scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy(EDX). The surface of phenol resin showed network structure and void. The spectra shown in EDX analysis are composed not only of the corresponding elements but also of several new spectra, as CK. OK$\alpha$. MgK, SiK. and CaK, which were absent in original material.

Cu CMP 공정시 높은 압력으로 인하여 low-k 유전체막에 손실을 주며, 디싱과 에로젼 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 기존의 CMP에 전기화학을 결합시킴으로서 낮은 하력에서의 Cu 평탄화를 달성 할 수 있는 ECMP(Electrochemical Mechanical Polishing)기술이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 $NaNO_3$ 전해액이 Cu 표면에 미치는 영향을 SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy), XRD(X-ray Diffraction)를 통하여 전기화학적 특성을 비교 분석하였다.

In this paper, we synthesized 10 to 20 nm diameter NiFe nanoparticles and nanoparticle films utilizing supersonic jet deposition of nanoparticle aerosols generated by laser ablation of $30\;to\;45{\mu}m$ diameter permalloy $(Ni_{81}Fe_{19} \;at\;{\%})$ microparticles. The component and composition of the nanoparticles were characterized by an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The morphology of the nanoparticles and nanoparticle films was analyzed by a high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and a scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The experimental results showed that the nanoparticles and nanoparticle films have remarkable properties with an excellent preservation of the composition of feedstock permalloy microparticles. The purpose of the present work is to present details on the composition and nanostructural characterizations for NiFe nanoparticles and nanoparticle films prepared by laser ablation of microparticles (LAM).

High voltage motor(rated 6.6kV and 448kw) has failed in the stator endwinding area during normal service. Experiments on microstructure property were conducted using the control and aged insulations, which were drawn out from stator windings of the high voltage motor. The analyses were characterized using stereozoom microscope(SM), scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS). SM result shows that large voids are present in the interface between turn insulation and groundwall insulation. SEM results indicated that the groundwall insulation is rarely thermal stress. EDS results showed that chemical elements in the high voltage motor stator insulations were Al, Si, O, K and Fe.
