LAS ($Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$) ceramics were sintered by a solid-state reaction. $CaCO_3$ and $ZrO_2$ were added to the ${\beta}$-spodumene ($Li_2O-Al_2O_3-4SiO_2$) composition of the LAS system for enhancement of sintering behavior and mechanical strength, respectively. We have investigated the sintering characteristics, microstructures, mechanical properties and thermal expansion characteristics according to the change of the amount of additive and sintering temperature of the ${\beta}$-spodumene. At 0.1 mol% $CaCO_3$, the densification of ${\beta}$-spodumene was significantly improved. At 0.04 mol% $ZrO_2$, the strength of ${\beta}$-spodumene was also improved. For all the selected all compositions, the thermal expansion coefficient was measured by a dilatometer, which revealed 1.2 to $1.7{\times}10^6/^{\circ}C$.

Nano-oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) superalloys have attracted attention because of their outstanding mechanical reinforcement mechanism. Dispersed oxides increase the material's strength by preventing grain growth and recrystallization, as well as increasing creep resistance. In this research, atomic layer deposition (ALD) was applied to synthesize an ODS alloy. It is useful to coat conformal thin films even on complex matrix shapes, such as nanorods or powders. We coated an Nb-Si-based superalloy with TiO₂ thin film by using rotary-reactor type thermal ALD. TiO₂ was grown by controlling the deposition recipe, reactor temperature, N₂ flow rate, and rotor speed. We could confirm the formation of uniform TiO₂ film on the surface of the superalloy. This process was successfully applied to the synthesis of an ODS alloy, which could be a new field of ALD applications.

The main aim of this study is to predict the compressive and flexural strengths of self-compacting mortar (SCM) containing $nano-SiO_2$, $nano-Fe_2O_3$ and nano-CuO using wavelet-based weighted least squares-support vector machines (WLS-SVM) approach which is called WWLS-SVM. The WWLS-SVM regression model is a relatively new metamodel has been successfully introduced as an excellent machine learning algorithm to engineering problems and has yielded encouraging results. In order to achieve the aim of this study, first, the WLS-SVM and WWLS-SVM models are developed based on a database. In the database, nine variables which consist of cement, sand, NS, NF, NC, superplasticizer dosage, slump flow diameter and V-funnel flow time are considered as the input parameters of the models. The compressive and flexural strengths of SCM are also chosen as the output parameters of the models. Finally, a statistical analysis is performed to demonstrate the generality performance of the models for predicting the compressive and flexural strengths. The numerical results show that both of these metamodels have good performance in the desirable accuracy and applicability. Furthermore, by adopting these predicting metamodels, the considerable cost and time-consuming laboratory tests can be eliminated.

The turbid/translucent, near colorless(milky) metamorphic sapphire samples from Sri Lanka have been characterized after the heat treatment in $N_2$ at $1650^{\circ}C$. As-received sapphire specimens became bluish-colored and exhibited more clarity after the heat treatment. It was found that the color change at inclusions zoning region is attributed by the dissolution. As received samples contain the micro/nano inclusions such as rutile($TiO_2$), ilmenite($FeTiO_3$), spinel($MgAl_{2}O_{4}$)/ulvospinel($Fe_{2}TiO_{4}$) and apatite($Ca_5(PO_4)_3$), which were dissolved by the heat treatment and form the blue color through $Fe^{2+}/Ti^{4+}$ charge transferring. The microstructures become different because as the dissolution of apatite($Ca_5(PO_4)_3(OH,F,Cl)$) in alumino silicates($Al_{2}SiO_{5}$) occurred, resulting in morphological change with the appearance of(Ca, Mg, Al) silicate on the surface. Both as-received and heat treated samples showed the rhombohedral crystal structure of $Al_{2}O_{3}$.

In this study, the higher temperature thermal property of the fly ash-blast furnace slag system Geopolymer including alumina aggregate was investigated whether that Geopolymer will be or not useful as thermal-resistant construction materials. Under every mixing conditions, the crack on the surface of hardened body was not observed up to $800^{\circ}C$ and it corresponded with fact that level of changes was not significant before and after heating process. Residual compressive strength is most high when mixing Blast-Furnace Slag ratio is 60 wt% until temperature reaches $800^{\circ}C$. The major hydrates of hardened body of Geopolymer; amorphous halo pattern between $20{\sim}35^{\circ}$ (2theta) and mullite ($3Al_2O_3{\cdot}2SiO_2$) and quartz ($SiO_2$) was found during the experiment. Amorphous halo pattern was a aluminosilicate gel generated by geopolymeric polycondensation and it was found that the halo pattern of aluminosilicate gel was preserved up to $800^{\circ}C$. The patterns of aluminosilicate gel disappeared from $1,000^{\circ}C$ and crystal phases like gehlenite, calcium silicate, calcium aluminum oxide, microcline was observed with the increase of exposure temperature.

실리콘 양자점 태양전지는 실리콘이 nm 크기의 양자점으로 될 경우 밴드갭이 증가하여 태양광 중의 가시광선을 광전변환에 활용함으로써 효율을 향상시키는 차세대 태양전지이다. 그러나 실리콘 양자점이 SiO2 매질 내에 분포하므로 양자점층의 두께가 증가할 경우 박막의 직렬저항이 증가하여 일정 두께 이상이 되면 효율이 감소하는 결과를 가져온다. 본 연구에서는 두께증가에 따른 효율저하 문제를 해결하기 위해 다결정 실리콘으로 이루어진 완충층을 도입 하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 두 가지 형태의 실리콘 양자점 태양전지를 제작하여 광전변환 특성을 비교하였다. 첫 번재 구조는 B이 도핑된 단일 실리콘 양자점층 태양전지이다. 양자점층은 2 nm SiOx 층과 2 nm SiO2 층을 적층한 후 $1,100^{\circ}C$에서 20분간 질소 분위기에서 급속 열처리하여 제작하였다. 실리콘 양자점 층의 두께를 40 nm에서 200 nm까지 변화시키면서 효율을 측정한 결과 100 nm 정도에서 효율이 감소하기 시작하였다. 이러한 효율감소는 양자점층의 저항 증가에 따른 전류감소에 의함이 확인되었다. 이와는 대조적으로 실리콘 양자점 층의 저항을 줄이기 위해 실리콘 양자점층 내에 50 nm 간격으로 10 nm 두께의 B이 도핑된 다결정 실리콘층을 배치하는 실리콘 양자점 태양전지를 개발하였다. 이러한 실리콘 양자점 층의 두께를 증가시킬 경우 효율이 지속적으로 증가함을 관찰하였다. 이러한 두 가지 형태의 양자점층을 이차이온질량분석법으로 분석한 결과 단일 실리콘 양자점층의 경우 두께가 약 70 nm 정도부터 이온빔 스퍼터링에 의한 저항증가에 따른 대전현상 (charging)이 관찰되었으나 다결정 실리콘 층이 배치된 실리콘 양자점층에서는 전혀 대전현상이 발생하지 않았다. 이는 다결정 실리콘 층이 캐리어를 이동시키는 매개체 역할을 하는 것으로 해석될 수 있다.
