Fe$_3$O$_4$ particles, prepared by a sol-gel method, were examined for their structural characteristic, particle shapes and sizes, and their magnetic properties. Two different chemical compositions (using a mol rate Fe$^{2+}$/Fe$^{3+}$ = 1/2 and only Fe$^{2+}$) and 2-methoxyethanol were used for making proper solutions. And the solutions were refluxed and dry in a dry oven and the samples were fired at 200$\sim$600$^{\circ}C$ in the N$_2$ atmosphere. The formation of single-phased spinel ferrite powders was identified with the X-ray diffraction measurement as they were fired at above 250$^{\circ}C$. The result of scanning electron microscopy measurement showed the increase of annealing temperature yielded the particle size increased. The magnetic transition was observed using the Mossbaur spectroscopy measurement. As the ferrite, prepared with the chemical composition (Fe$^{2+}$/Fe$^{3+}$ = 1/2), was fired at 250$^{\circ}C$, 78% of the ferrite had a ferrimagnetic property and 22% of the ferrite was non-magnetic. In case of preparing the sample with only Fe$^{2+}$ and annealed at 200$^{\circ}C$, it had a single phased spinel structure but its particle size was too small to be ferrimagnetic. The annealing temperature above 250$^{\circ}C$ made powders a spinel structure regardless of the preparation method. They had a typical soft magnetic property and their saturation magnetization and coercivity became larger as the annealing temperature increased.

Applicability of ammonium molybdophosphate/iron oxides-polyacrylonitrile (AMP/IO-PAN) composites on the removal of radionuclides in the radioactive wastewater generated from nuclear power plants was investigated. The composites were characterized using the following analytical techniques: X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourior transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), particle size analyzer (PSA), nitrogen adsorption-desorption and magnetic property measurement system (MPMS). 10wt% of AMP/IO-PAN composite has a saturation magnetization of 2.038 emu/g. Single-solute sorptions of Co, Sr and Cs onto 10wt% of AMP/IO-PAN composite were investigated. The maximum sorption capacities ($Q^0$) predicted by the Langmuir model on 10wt% of AMP/IO-PAN composite were 0.097, 0.086 and 0.66 mmol/g for Co, Sr and Cs, respectively. The maximum sorption capacities ($Q^0$) of Cs predicted by Langmuir model on 0, 10, 20 and 30wt% of AMP/IO-PAN composites were 0.702, 0.655, 0.602 and 0.559 mmol/g, respectively. The maximum sorption capacities ($Q^0$) of Cs decreased with increasing the iron oxide content in the AMP/IO-PAN composites.

The objective of this research was to elucidate the physicochemical, structural, pasting and rheological properties of potato starch isolated from a foreign potato cultivar ('Atlantic') and new domestic potato cultivars ('Goun', 'Sebong', and 'Jinsun'). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (1D NMR) showed that the structural properties of potato starch did not vary significantly with cultivars. RVA analysis demonstrated that the 'Atlantic' starch had the highest breakdown viscosity among all potato starches. In steady shear rheological analysis, all potato starch dispersions showed shear-thinning behaviors (n =0.63-0.72) at $25^{\circ}C$. The highest apparent viscosity (${\eta}_{a,5}$), consistency index (K), and yield stress (${\sigma}_{oc}$) were observed in the 'Goun' starch dispersion. In dynamic shear rheological analysis, storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G") values of new domestic potato starch dispersions were higher than those of the 'Atlantic' starch dispersion.

Polymers with various compositions of azobenzene and hexamethylene groups in the main chain were synthesized by a Schotten-Baumann reaction and their properties were investigated. The chemical structures and physical properties of the synthesized polymers were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, polarized optical microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The polymers showed an inherent viscosity of 1.28-1.36 dl/g and were relatively insoluble in most organic solvents. The melt transition temperature increased rapidly with increasing number of azobenzene groups in the polymer. When the azobenzene monomer content was more than 50 mol%, no melting transition occurred below the decomposition temperature. Among the polymers with a melt transition temperature, the MP-A3C7 and MP-A5C5 polymers were liquid crystalline materials and exhibited a nematic phase with weak liquid crystallinity over a wide liquid crystal temperature range. This difference in the properties of the synthesized polymers is likely due to the changes in intermolecular forces resulting from the linearity and polarity of the trans-form of azobenzene.

Single crystal phased CaZrO₃ : Eu³⁺ phosphor have been synthesized by skull melting method. The crystal structure, morphology and optical properties of synthesized phosphor were investigated XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), UV (ultraviolet) fluorescence reaction and PL (photo luminescence). The starting materials having chemical composition of CaO: ZrO₂ : Eu₂O₃= 0.962 : 1.013 : 0.025 mol% were charged into a cold crucible. The cold crucible was 120 mm in inner diameter and 150 mm in inner height, and 3 kg of mixed powder (CaO, ZrO₂ and Eu₂O₃) was completely melted within 1 hour at an oscillation frequency of 3.4 MHz, maintained in the molten state for 2 hours, and finally air-cooled. The XRD results show that synthesized phosphor is stabilized in orthorhombic perovskite structure without any impurity phases. The synthesized phosphor could be excited by UV light (254 or 365 nm) and the emission spectra results indicated that bright red luminescence of CaZrO₃ : Eu³⁺ due to magnetic dipole transition ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ at 615 nm was dominant.

Single crystalline $CoFe_2O_4$ thin films on (100) MgO substrates were fabricated using a rf magnetron sputtering method. The deposited films were investigated for their crystallization by X-ray diffraction, Rutherford back-scattering spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. When a cobalt ferrite film was deposited at the substrate temperature of $600^{\circ}C$, squared grains of about 200 nm were uniformly distributed in the film. However, the grains became irregular and their sizes also varied from 30 to 150 nm when the substrate temperature was $700^{\circ}C$. Hysteresis loops of a film deposited at $600^{\circ}C$ showed that the magnetically easy axis of the film was perpendicular to the substrate surface. Except for the squareness ratio, magnetic properties of the cobalt ferrite films grown by the present rf sputtering method were as good as those of the films prepared by a laser ablation method: The in-plane and perpendicular coercivities were 283 and 6800 Oe, respectively. As the thickness of the deposited film increased twice, the saturation magnetization became double but the coercivity remained unchanged. However, deposition of the Co ferrite films with a higher rf powder decreased the squareness ratio and the perpendicular coercivity of the films.

TFT-LCD의 제조공정은 박막층의 식각 공정에 대해 기존의 습식 공정을 대치하는 건식식각이 선호되고 있다. 건식 식각 공정은 반도체 공저에 응용되면서 소자의 최소 선폰(CD)이 감소함에 따라 유도결합셩 프라즈마를 비롯한 고밀도 플라즈마 이용한 플라즈마 장비 사용이 증가하는 추세이다. 여기에 평판디스플레이의 공정을 위해서는 대면적과 사각형 기판에 대한 균일도를 보장할 수 있는 고밀도의 균일한 플라즈마 유지가 중요하다. 본 실험에서는 자장강화된 유도결합형 플라즈마의 플라즈마 밀도 및 균일도를 살펴보고 TFT-LCD에 gate 전극으로 사용되는 Al-Nd 박막의 식각을 통하여 식각균일도와 식각속도 및 식각 선택도 등의 건식 식각 특성을 보고자 한다. 영구자석 및 전자석의 설치는 사각형의 유도결합형 플라즈마는 소형 영구자석을 배열하여 부착하였으며, 외부에는 chamber와 같이 사각형태의 전자석을 500mm$\times$500mm의 크기를 갖는 z축 방향의 Helmholtz형으로 제작하였다. 더. 영구자석 배열에 대해서는 자석간의 거리와 세기 변화를 조합하여 magnetic cusping의 변화를 주었으며 전자석의 세기는 전류값을 기준으로 변화시켜 보았다. 실험을 통하여 플라즈마 균일도를 5% 이하로 개선하고 이러한 균일도를 유지하며 플라즈마 밀도를 높일 수 있는 조건을 찾을 수 있었다. 이러한 적합화된 조건에서 저장강화된 유도결합형 프라즈마를 Al-Nd 박막 식각에 응용한 결과, Al-Nd의 식각속도 및 식각 선택도는 유도결합형 프라즈마에 비해 크게 증가하였으며, 식각균일도가 개선되는 것을 관찰하였다. 또한 electrostatic probe(Hiden, Analytical)를 이용하여 Al-Nd 식각에 사용된 반응성 식각가스에 대한 저장강화된 유도결합형 플라즈마의 특성 분석을 수행하였다.c recoil detection, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, secondary electron microscopy, atomic force microscoy, $\alpha$-step, Raman scattering spectroscopu, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy 및 micro hardness tester를 이용하여 기판 bias 전압이 DLC 박막의 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 분석결과 본 연구에서 제작된 DLC 박막은 탄소와 수소만으로 구성되어 있으며, 비정질 상태임을 알 수 있었다. 기판 bias 전압의 증가에 따라 박막의 두께가 감소됨을 알 수 있었고, -150V에서는 박막이 거의 만들어지지 않았으며, -200V에서는 기판 표면이 식각되었다. 이것은 기판 bias 전압과 ECR 플라즈마에 의한 이온충돌 효과 때문으로 판단되며, 150V 이하에서는 증착되는 양보다 re-sputtering 되는 양이 더 많을 것으로 생각된다. 기판 bias 전압을 증가시킬수록 플라즈마에 의한 이온충돌 현상이 두드러져 탄소와 결합하고 있던 수소원자들이 떨어져 나가는 탈수소화 (dehydrogenation) 현상을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이것은 C-H 결합에너지가 C-C 결합이나 C=C 결합보다 약하여 수소 원자가 비교적 해리가 잘되므로 이러한 현상이 일어난다고 판단된다. 결합이 끊어진 탄소 원자들은 다른 탄소원자들과 결합하여 3차원적 cross-link를 형성시켜 나가면서 내부 압축응력을 증가시키는 것으로 알려져 있으며, hardness 시험 결과로 이것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 표면거칠기는 기판 bias 전압을 증가시킬수록 더 smooth 해짐을 확인하였다.인하였다.을 알 수 있
