A preparation method for gadolinium compound (GdC) nanoparticles coated with silica ($GdC/SiO_2$) is proposed. GdC nanoparticles were prepared with a homogeneous precipitation method at $80^{\circ}C$ using $1.0{\times}10^{-3}$ M $Gd(NO_3)_3$, 0.5 M urea and $0-3.0{\times}10^{-4}$ M ethylenediarinnetetraacetic acid disodium salt dihydrate (ETDA) in water. As a result of preparation at various EDTA concentrations, GdC nanoparticles with a size as small as $40.5{\pm}6.2$ nm, which were colloidally stable, were prepared at an EDTA concentration of $2.0{\times}10^{-4}$ M. Silica-coating of the GdC nanoparticles was performed by a St$\ddot{o}$ber method at $35^{\circ}C$ using $1.0-10.0{\times}10^{-3}$ M tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), 11 M $H_2O$ and $1.5{\times}10^{-3}$ M NaOH in ethanol in the presence of $1.0{\times}10^{-3}$ M GdC nanoparticles. Performance of preparation at various TEOS concentrations resulted in production of $GdC/SiO_2$ particles with an average size of $106.1{\pm}11.2$ nm at a TEOS concentration of $5.0{\times}10^{-3}$ M. The gadolinium (Gd) concentration of $1.0{\times}10^{-3}$ M in the as-prepared $GdC/SiO_2$ particle colloid solution was increased up to a Gd concentration of 0.2 M by concentrating with centrifugation. The core-shell structure of $GdC/SiO_2$ particles was undamaged, and the colloid solution was still colloidally stable, even after the concentrating process. The concentrated $GdC/SiO_2$ colloid solution showed images of X-ray and magnetic resonance with contrast as high as commercial Gd complex contrast agents.

During the previous few years, phenomenon of bioconvection along with the use of nanoparticles showed large number of applications in technological and industrial field. This paper analyzed the bioconvection phenomenon in magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow of a Powell-Eyring nanoliquid past a stretchable cylinder with Cattaneo-Christov heat flux. In addition, the impacts of chemical reaction and heat generation/absorption parameter are considered. By the use of appropriate transformation, the governing PDEs (nonlinear) have been transformed and formulated into nonlinear ODEs. The resulting nonlinear ODEs subjected to relevant boundary conditions are solved analytically through homotopy analysis method which is programmed in Mathematica software. Graphical and numerical results versus physical quantities like velocity, temperature, concentration and motile microorganism are investigated under the impact of physical parameters. It is noted that velocity profile enhances as the curvature parameter A and Eyring-Powell fluid parameter M increases but a decline manner for large values of buoyancy ratio parameter Nr and bio-convection Rayleigh number Rb. In the presence of Prandtl number Pr, Eyring-Powell fluid parameter M and heat absorption parameter ��, temperature profile decreases. Nano particle concentration profile increases for increasing values of magnetic parameter Ha and thermophoresis parameter Nt. The motile density profile has revealed a decrement pattern for higher values of bio-convection Lewis number Lb and bio-convection peclet number Pe. This study may find uses in bio-nano coolant systems, advance nanomechanical bio-convection energy conversion equipment's, etc.

본 연구는 철기(Fe based) $Fe_{73.5}Si_{13.5}B_9Nb_3Cu_1$ 나노결정 합금의 분말코어(powder core)의 연자기적 특성 향상을 위한 기초연구로서, 절연 코팅제의 첨가량 및 분말입도에 따른 투자율, 코어손실 및 DC 바이어스 특성을 주로 조사하였다. 우선 합금조성을 PFC 장치를 이용하여 비정질 합금리본을 제조한 후, 열처리, 미분쇄 및 분급하여 얻어진 합금분말에 절연 코팅제(PEI)의 첨가량을 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 2.5 wt%로 변화시켜 $16ton/cm^2$으로 압축성형 및 결정화 열처리하여 제조한 토로이달 나노결정 분말코어($OD12.7mm{\times}ID7.62mm{\times}H4.75mm$)는 절연 코팅제 함량이 증가할수록 투자율은 감소하였지만, 코어손실 및 DC 바이어스 특성은 향상됨을 확인하였다. 이러한 이유는 합금분말 절연 코팅제 첨가량이 증가할수록 비정질 합금분말 입자가 적어져 분말코어의 성형밀도가 낮아지기 때문으로 추정되었으며, 절연 코팅제의 함량은 1 wt%가 가장 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 절연 코팅제 함량을 1 wt%로 고정하고, 합금분말의 입도에 따라 제조한 분말코어의 경우, 실효투자율 및 코어손실은 입도가 클수록 우수하였지만, DC 바이어스 특성은 인가자장이 증가함에 따라 더욱 나빠짐을 확인하였다. 그 이유는 합금분말 표면의 코팅층 두께 차이에 의한 절연효과, 잔류기공 혹은 분말코어의 성형밀도 차이 등에 기인하는 것으로 추정되었다.

본 연구는 자력분리와 중력분리의 특징을 가진 산화철 나노입자 표면개질 분말활성탄에 의한 MF막 분리 공정의 운전 및 NOM 제거 효율에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. MF막의 전처리로 표면개질 PAC 유동층 칼럼을 구성하였으며, 표면개질 PAC층은 63 m/d의 유속에서 표면개질 PAC 입자가 유출되지 않은 최대의 유속을 유지하였고, 이 때 접촉시간은 29분이었다. 유동상칼럼 상단에는 경자성체(magnet)를 설치하여 부유하는 미세한 입자의 유출을 방지하였다. 직렬로 구성한 표면개질 PACMF 결합공정에서 표면개질 PAC 칼럼을 통하여 MF막의 파울링 저감과 NOM 제거효율의 상당한 향상을 보였다. MF막만을 이용하였을 때에 막 차압은 98시간 만에 적정운전범위인 40 kPa이 초과되었으나, 표면개질 PAC 칼럼을 함께 구성하였을 때 막 차압은 여전히 12 kPa의 안정적으로 유지되었다. NOM의 제거효율 또한 표면개질 PAC의 전처리를 통해서 DOC와 $UV_{254}$가 각각 46%와 51%에서 75%와 84%로 상승하였다. 시스템 내 NOM의 제거현상을 알아보기 위한 HPLC-SEC 분석을 통해서 표면개질 PAC는 광범위한 분자량을 가진 유기물의 효과적인 제거가 가능한 것을 알 수 있었다.

$BaFe_{12}O_{19}/Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$ 나노복합체 페라이트는 솔-젤 연소법으로 합성하였고, 합성된 나노복합체 페라이트를 $600{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 1시간 동안 하소하였다. XRD 분석 결과, 경자성/연자성 나노복합체에서 경자성과 연자성이 공존하고 있음을 확인하였다. 나노복합체의 입자크기는 90 nm보다 작게 나타났다. 나노복합체는 단일 페라이트의 hysteresis 곡선과 같은 모양을 나타내었으며, 이로서 경자성과 연자성 사이에 exchange coupling이 잘 되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 경자성/연자성 나노복합체 페라이트의 포화자화 값은 연자성보다 낮고 경자성보다 높았다. 잔류자화 값은 경자성과 연자성보다 크게 나타났고, 전체적으로 $(BH)_{max}$이 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Nanostructured materials arecurrently receiving much attention because of their unique structural andphysical properties. Research has been stimulated by the envisagedapplications for this new class of materials in electronics, optics, catalysisand magnetic storage since the properties derived from nanometer-scalematerials are not present in either isolated molecules or micrometer-scalesolids. This study presents the experimental results derived fromthe various functional materials processed in nano-scale using pulsed laserablation, since those materials exhibit new physical phenomena caused by thereduction dimensionality. This presentation consists of three mainparts to consider in pulsed laser ablation (PLA) technique; first nanocrystallinefilms, second, nanocolloidal particles in liquid, and third, nanocoating fororganic/inorganic hybridization. Firstly, nanocrystalline films weresynthesized by pulsed laser deposition at various Ar gas pressures withoutsubstrate heating and/or post annealing treatments. From the controlof processng parameters, nanocystalline films of complex oxides and non-oxidematerials have been successfully fabricated. The excellentcapability of pulsed laser ablation for reactive deposition and its ability totransfer the original stoichiometry of the bulk target to the deposited filmsmakes it suitable for the fabrication of various functionalmaterials. Then, pulsed laser ablation in liquid has attracted muchattention as a new technique to prepare nanocolloidal particles. Inthis work, we represent a novel synthetic approach to directly producehighly-dispersed fluorescent colloidal nanoparticles using the PLA from ceramicbulk target in liquid phase without any surfactant. Furthermore, novel methodbased on simultaneous motion tracking of several individual nanoparticles isproposed for the convenient determination of nanoparticle sizedistributions. Finally, we report that the GaAs nanocrystals issynthesized successfully on the surface of PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate)microspheres by modified PLD technique using a particle fluidizationunit. The characteristics of the laser deposited GaAs nanocrytalswere then investigated. It should be noted that this is the first successfultrial to apply the PLD process nanocrystals on spherical polymermatrices. The present process is found to be a promising method fororganic/inorganic hybridization.

Forsterite is a crystalline magnesium silicate with chemical formula $Mg_2SiO_4$, which has extremely low electrical conductivity that makes it an ideal substrate material for electronics. In this study, forsterite precursors were synthesized with magnesium silicate gels from the mixture of magnesium nitrate solution and various sodium silicate solution by the geopolymer technique. Precursors and heattreated powders were characterized by thermogravimetrical differential thermal analyzer(TG-DTA), X-ray diffractometer(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Si magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance(MAS-NMR), transmission electron microscopy(TEM). As the result of analysis about the crystallization behavior by DTA, the synthesized precursors were crystallized in the temperature range of $700^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$. The XRD results showed that the gel composition began to crystallize at various temperature. Also, it was found that the sodium orthosilicate based precursors(named as 'FO') began to crystallize at above $550^{\circ}C$. The FO peaks were much stronger than sodium silicate solution based precursors(named as 'FW'), sodium metasilicate based precursors(named as 'FM') at $800^{\circ}C$. TEM investigation revealed that the 100nm particle sized sample was obtained from FO by heating up to $800^{\circ}C$.

Nanostructured spinel NiZn ferrites were prepared by the sol-gel method from metal nitrate raw materials. Analyses by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy showed the average particle size of NiZn ferrite was under 50 nm. The single phase of NiZn ferrites was obtained by firing at 250${\circ}C$, resulting in nanoparticles exhibiting normal ferrimagnetic behavior. The nanostructured $Ni_{1-X}Zn_XFe_2O_4$ (x=0.0∼1.0) were found to have the cubic spinel structure of which the lattice constants ${\alpha}_2$ increases linearly from 8.339 to 8.427 ${\AA}$ with increasing Zn content x, following Vegard's law, approximately. The saturation magnetization $M_s$ was 48 emu/g for x=0.4 and decreased to 8.0 emu/g for higher Zn contents suggesting the typical ferrimagnetism in mixed spinel ferrites. Pure NiZn ferrite phase substituted by Cu was observed before using the additive but hematite phase was partially appeared at $Ni_{0.2}Zn_{0.2}Cu_{0.6}Fe_2O_4$. On the other hand, the hematite phase in this NiZn Cu ferrite was disappeared after using the additive of acethyl aceton with small amount. The saturation magnetization Ms of $Ni_{0.2}Zn_{0.8-y}Cu_yFe_2O_4$(y=0.2∼0.6) as measured was about 51 emu/g at 77K and 19 emu/g at room temperature, respectively.

This study examined the biostability and drug delivery efficiency of g-$Fe_2O_3$ magnetic nanoparticles (GMNs) by cytotoxicity tests using various tumor cell lines and normal cell lines. The GMNs, approximately 20 nm in diameter, were prepared using a chemical coprecipitation technique, and coated with two surfactants to obtain a water-based product. The particle size of the GMNs loaded on hangamdan drugs (HGMNs) measured 20-50 nm in diameter. The characteristics of the particles were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-TEM) and Raman spectrometer. The Raman spectrum of the GMNs showed three broad bands at 274, 612 and $771\;cm^1$. A 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay showed that the GMNs were non-toxic against human brain cancer cells (SH-SY5Y, T98), human cervical cancer cells (Hela, Siha), human liver cancer cells (HepG2), breast cancer cells (MCF-7), colon cancer cells (CaCO2), human neural stem cells (F3), adult mencenchymal stem cells (B10), human kidney stem cells (HEK293 cell), human prostate cancer (Du 145, PC3) and normal human fibroblasts (HS 68) tested. However, HGMNs were cytotoxic at 69.99% against the DU145 prostate cancer cell, and at 34.37% in the Hela cell. These results indicate that the GMNs were biostable and the HGMNs served as effective drug delivery vehicles.
