Orthoferrite LaFeO$_3$ 화합물에서 Fe 이온의 미량을 Mn 이온으로 치환시킨 시료인 LaFe$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$ O$_3$(0.0$\leq$x$\leq$0.4)을 제조하여 Mn 이온의 치환에 따른 결정학적 및 자기적 특성의 변화를 밝히기 위하여 x-선 회절기, M ssbauer 분광기, 진동자력계와 초전도 양자간섭계 등을 이용한 연구를 하였다. 제조한 시료는 모든 조성비 범위에서 단일상의 orthorhombic distorted perovskite 구조를 보였다. M ssbauer 스펙트럼은 상온에서 한 개의 육중선(x=0.0)에서 두 개의 육중선 세트(x=0.1, 0.2, 0.4)로 변했다. 특히 x=0.4에서는 상자성의 이중선과 육중선이 중첩된 모양을 보였다. 본 시료에서 Fe는 모두 Fe$^{3+}$ 상태로 팔면체자리에 위치함을 알았다. 또 LaFe$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$ O$_3$에서 Mn의 양이 증가함에 따라 포화자화 값은 증가하지만 보자력은 감소함을 알아냈다.

Thunbergia Laurifolia Linn. (TL) is one of the most familiar plants in Thai traditional medicine that is used to treat various conditions, including cancer. However, the antitumor activity of TL or its constituents has never been reported at the molecular level to support the folklore claim. The present study was designed to investigate the antitumor effect of an aqueous extract of TL in human breast cancer cells and the possible mechanism(s) of action. An aqueous crude extract was prepared from dried leaves of TL. Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric assays were used to determine the total phenolic content. Antiproliferative and cell cycle effects were evaluated in human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells by MTT reduction assay, cell growth inhibition, clonogenic cell survival, and flow cytometric analysis. Free radical generation by the extracts was detected using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The exposure of human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells to a TL aqueous extract resulted in decreases in cell growth, clonogenic cell survival, and cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner with an $IC_{50}$ value of $843{\mu}g/ml$. Treatments with extract for 24h at $250{\mu}g/ml$ or higher induced cell cycle arrest as indicated by a significant increase of cell population in the G1 phase and a significant decrease in the S phase of the cell cycle. The capability of the aqueous extract to generate radical intermediates was observed at both high pH and near-neutral pH conditions. The findings suggest the antitumor bioactivities of TL against selected breast cancer cells may be due to induction of a G1 cell cycle arrest. Cytotoxicity and cell cycle perturbation that are associated with a high concentration of the extract could be in part explained by the total phenolic contents in the extract and the capacity to generate radical intermediates to modulate cellular proliferative signals.

고상에피택시방법으로 성장한 YIG 박막의 온도에 따른 자기특성의 변화를 결정이방성과 수직이방성을 중심으로 측정하였다. 고상에피택시법의 열처리 온도가 낮을 경우 전위가 발생하여 응력을 해소함으로써 수직이방성이 유도되지 않았으나 높은 온도에서 열처리된 박막에는 우수한 에피택시성장으로 잔류응력이 축적되어 수직이방성이 유도되었다. 수직이방성자장은 기판과 박막의 열팽창계수의 차이로 결정자기이방성이 없어지는 온도까지 선형으로 감소하였고, 보자력도 온도가 증가하면 감소하였다. YIG(111) 에피택시박막에 수직이방성이 유도되었을 경우 결정이방성상수 $K_1$을 $H_k=4K_1/3M_s$로부터 결정할 수 있었다. 온도에 따른 초자화율의 거동은 Hopkinson 효과로 잘 설명되어졌으며 측정결과를 이용하명 상자성 자화율이 큰 기판위에 성장한 박막의 큐리온도를 쉽게 측정할 수 있었다.

Nickel substituted manganese ferrites, $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ($0.0{\leq}x{\leq}0.6$), were fabricated by sol-gel method. The effects of sintering and substitution on their crystallographic and magnetic properties were studied. X-ray diffractometry of $Mn_{0.6}Ni_{0.4}Fe_2O_4$ ferrite sintered above 523 K indicated a spinel structure; particles increased in size with hotter sintering. The M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectrum of this ferrite sintered at 523 K could be fitted as a single quadrupole doublet, indicative of a superparamagnetic phase. Sintering at 573 K led to spectrum fitted as the superposition of two Zeeman sextets and a single quadrupole doublet, indicating both ferrimagnetic and paramagnetic phase. Sintering at 673 K and at 773 K led to spectra fitted as two Zeeman sextets due to a ferrimagnetic phase. The saturation magnetization and the coercivity of $Mn_{0.6}Ni_{0.4}Fe_2O_4$ ferrite sintered at 773 K were 53.05 emu/g and 142.08 Oe. In $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ($0.0{\leq}x{\leq}0.6$) ferrites, sintering of any composition at 773 K led to a single spinel structure. Increased Ni substitution decreased the ferrites' lattice constants and increased their particle sizes. The M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra could be fitted as the superposition of two Zeeman sextets due to the tetrahedral and the octahedral sites of the $Fe^{3+}$ ions. The variations of saturation magnetization and coercivity with changing Ni content could be explained using the changes of particle size.

Purpose : To evaluate the effect of rotational correlation time (${\tau}_R$) and the possible related changes of other parameters, ${\tau}_M,{\;}{\tau}_S,{\;}and{\;}(\tau}_V$ of gadolinium (Gd) chelate on T1 relaxation enhancement in two pool model. Materials and Methods : The NMRD (Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation Dispersion) profiles were simulated from 0.02 MHz to 800 MHz proton Larmor frequency for different values of rotational correlation times based on Solomon-Bloembergen equation for inner-sphere relaxation enhancement. To include both unbound pool (pool A) and bound pool (pool B), the relaxivity was divided by contribution from unbound pool and bound pool. The rotational correlation time for pool A was fixed at the value of 0.1 ns, which is a typical value for low molecular weight complexes such as Gd-DTPA in solution and ${\tau}_R$ for pool B was changed from 0.1 ns to 20 ns to allow the slower rotation by binding to macromolecule. The fractional factor of was also adjusted from 0 to 1.0 to simulate different binding ratios to macromolecule. Since the binding of Gd-chelate to macromolecule cab alter the electronic environment of Gd ion and also the degree of bulk water access to hydration site of Gd-chelate, the effects of these parameters were also included. Results : The result shows that low field profiles, ranged from 0.02 to 40 MHz, and dominated by contribution from bound pool, which is bound to macromolecule regardless of binding ratios. In addition, as more Gd-chelate bound to macromolecule, sharp increase of relaxivity at higher field occurs. The NMRD profiles for different values of ${\tau}_S$ show the enormous increase of low field profile whereas relaxivity at high field is not affected by ${\tau}_S$. On the other hand, the change in ${\tau}$V does not affect low field profile but strongly in fluences on both inflection fie이 and the maximum relaxivity value. The results shows a fluences on both inflection field and the maximum relaxivity value. The results shows a parabolic dependence of relaxivity on ${\tau}_M$. Conclusion : Binding of Gd-chelate to a macromolecule causes slower rotational tumbling of Gd-chelate and would result in relaxation enhancement, especially in clinical imaging field. However, binding to macromolecule can change water enchange rate (${\tau}_M$) and electronic relaxation ($T_le$) vis structural deformation of electron environment and the access of bulk water to hydration site of metal-chelate. The clinical utilities of Gd-chelate bound to macromolecule are the less dose requirement, the tissue specificity, and the better perfusion and intravascular agents.

감마선 (Co-60)의 처리 유무에 따른 진주의 영향을 연구하고자 진주 핵의 색 변화를 분석하였다. 담수산 조개로 만든 진주 핵에 감마선 (Co-60) 을 조사하게 되면, 진주 핵의 색은 조사선량에 따라 갈색에서 흑갈색 내지는 검은 회색으로 변한다. 본 연구에서는 감마선 (Co-60) 을 조사하지 않은 진주 핵 2개와 선량별로 조사된 4종류의 진주 핵 8개를 분석 재료로 사용하였다. UV-vis에서는 선량별로, 육안으로 확인되는 진주 핵의 컬러 변화 분석을 한 결과 선량이 증가함에 따라 비례적으로 반사도가 낮아짐을 확인하였고, X-선 회절분석에서는 감마선 (Co-60) 의 조사선량이 증가하여도 진주 핵의 결정구조가 변하는 것은 관찰되지 않았고 결정성 (crystallity) 이 높아지는 것으로 측정되었다. 또한 전자스핀공명분석으로는 처음으로 진주 핵의 감마선 (Co-60) 조사여부를 증명하였다. 감마선 (Co-60) 이 조사되지 않은 천연 핵에서는 대칭적인 ESR 신호를 확인할 수 있었고, 감마선 (Co-60)이 조사된 진주 핵에서는 조사선량이 증가할수록 특징적 비대칭의 스펙트럼과 g-value를 갖고 있어 천연의 핵과 조사된 핵의 차이를 구별할 수 있었다. 또한 감마선 (Co-60) 조사선량이 증가할수록 비례적으로 비대칭성이 높아지는 것을 증명하였다. 따라서 감마선 (Co-60) 처리 유무에 따른 진주의 색 변화를 연구하기 위해서는 진주 핵의 색 변화에 대한 원인 규명 및 분석이 선행되어야 한다고 사료된다.

우리는 증기전달법(vapor transport method)으로 성장된 $Cr_5S_6$ 단결정의 자기저항 효과를 연구하였다. 상온에서의 X-선 회절 (X-ray diffraction) 연구는 삼방구조(trigonal structure)를 가지는 단결정의 상 형성을 보여주었다. 5 K~400 K 온도영역에서 온도의 함수로 자기장(0.1 T, 5 T)을 걸어주면서 자화를 측정하였다. 자화의 온도의존성 결과로부터 $Cr_5S_6$의 두 가지 상태변화를 확인 할 수 있었다. 첫 번째는 150 K 근처에서 반강자성에서 준강자성으로의 전이가 일어나고, 두 번째는 준강자성에서 상자성으로의 전이가 300 K 근처에서 일어난다. 0 T와 5 T의 자기장에서 측정한 온도에 따른 저항의 변화는 150 K 근처에서 반강자성-준강자성 전이를 보여주면서 금속성을 보여주었다. 자기장의 변화에 따른 자화의 변화를 고정된 온도(100 K, 150 K, 200 K, 그리고 300 K)에서 측정하였다. 200 K과 300 K에서는 M-H 이력 현상을 잘 보여주는 반면에, 100 K과 150 K에서는 이력 현상을 보여주지 않았다. 150 K, 즉 반강자성 전이온도에서 $Cr_5S_6$는 5 T의 자기장 하에서 약 -2%의 음의 자기저항(magnetoresistance)이 관찰되었다.

Nickel substituted nano-sized ferrite powders, $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$, $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-2x}Zn_xNi_xFe_2O_4$ ($0.0{\leq}x{\leq}0.2$), were fabricated using a sol-gel method, and their crystallographic and magnetic properties were subsequently compared. The lattice constants decreased as quantity of nickel substitution increased, while the particle size decreased in $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ferrite but increased for the $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-2x}Zn_xNi_xFe_2O_4$ ferrites. For the $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ($0.0{\leq}x{\leq}0.2$) ferrite powders, the $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectra could be fitted as the superposition of two Zeeman sextets due to the tetrahedral and octahedral sites of the $Fe^{3+}$ ions. However, the $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectrum of $Mn_{0.8}Zn_{0.1}Ni_{0.1}Fe_2O_4$ consisted of two Zeeman sextets and one single quadrupole doublet due to the ferrimagnetic and paramagnetic behavior. The area ratio of the $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectra could be used to determine the cation distribution equation, and we also explain the variation in the $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ parameters by using this cation distribution equation, the superexchange interaction and the particle size. The saturation magnetization decreased in the $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-2x}Zn_xNi_xFe_2O_4$ ferrites but increased in the $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ferrite with nickel substitution. The coercivity decreased in the $Co_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ and $Mn_{1-2x}Zn_xNi_xFe_2O_4$ ferrites but increased in the $Mn_{1-x}Ni_xFe_2O_4$ ferrite with nickel substitution. These variations could thus be explained by using the site distribution equations, particle sizes and spin magnetic moments of the substituted ions.
