Using a small amount of additives and amorphous Si₂N₂O powders, O-SiAlON ceramics have been hot-pressed and its microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. Scandium oxide was demonstrated to be an effective densification additive for O-SiAlON. Amorphous Si₂N₂O was densified at relatively low temperatures and a microstructure with acicular grains was developed. Fine grains found in materials obtained from amorphous powders suggest that nucleation and crystallization of O-SiAlOH is relatively easy compared with the Si₃N₄-SiO₂reaction.

A new laser material, Nd:LSB $(Nd${3}:LaSc_3(BO_3)_4$, lanthanum scandium borate), of microchip type was grown by the Czochralski pulling method, and tested for optical and lasing properties. Nd:LSB, able to be highly doped with $Nd^{3+}$ ions while maintaining good optical, chemical, mechanical properties, was compared to another Nd-type laser material. The absorption and fluorescence spectra, and fluorescence lifetime were measured, and the crystal structure was analyzed. The lasing characteristics were investigated by using Ti:sapphire laser as a pumping light source.

The spectrophotometric determination method of scandium with eriochrome cyanine R (ECR) and the composition ratio of the complex were investigated in the presence of surfactants. A volume of 5 mL of 1.0×$10^{-3}$ M ECR and 10 mL of 2.0×$10^{-4}$ M CTMAB are necessary for the determination of 1.0×$10 ^{-7}$ ~ 3.0×$10^{-6}$ M Sc(III) at pH 6.5. The apparent molar absorption coefficient of the Sc(III)-ECR-CTMAB, ternary complex at 610 nm is 5.6×$10^5$ $mol^{-1}cm{-1}$L and its detection limit is 1.0×$10^{-7}$ M. Separation studies were conducted by the column method. The effect of pH, elution solution and the influence of rare earth elements as interferents was discussed. Their separation was carried out in 0.1 M HCl-50% methanol solution and 1.0 M HCl media. The method was applied for the determination of Sc(III) in monazite.

Verruca plana is a cutaneous infection caused by the human papilloma virus. Although various treatment methods are currently available, most have limitations due to the risk of complications such as hyperpigmentation, edema, and scarring. Moreover, as the infection tends to spread easily, new verrucae can potentially develop, and treatment procedure times tend to be lengthy. Thus, novel treatment methods are required. The 2790-nm wavelength erbium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er:YSGG) laser is a superficial resurfacing laser. Here, we present a case of a 25-year-old woman with multiple verrucae treated using a 2790-nm Er:YSGG laser. Compared to traditional methods, this novel laser is convenient, produces better cosmetic outcomes, and is less time-consuming; it is therefore suitable for the treatment of facial verruca plana.

Scandium을 소량 첨가한 Al합금은 용체화 처리 후 시효에 의해 강화되며, 합금의 주 강화상은 Ll2 type의 규칙구조를 갖는 A1$_3$Sc상으로 열처리시 아주 미세한 정합의 구형입자로 석출한다. Scandium은 Al합금에서 첨가원소의 at%에 따른 경량화 효과가 Gold 다음으로 크다. 현재까지의 Al-Sc계 합금에 대한 연구는 시효경화에 따른 기계적 특성 변화에 대해서만 이루어져 왔으나 본 연구에서는 투과전자현미경을 이용하여 열처리에 따른 미세조직의 변화, 급냉 상태에서 생성된 A13Sc입자의 형성 및 계면구조, 시효에 따른 석출거동을 규명하였다. 실험에 사용된 alloy는 미국의 Ashurst 사에서 제조된 Al-2wt%Sc모합금과 순도 99.9%의 Al을 혼합하여 Arc melting법으로 제조하였다. Primary A13Sc상은 Ll2 type으로 응고시에 용융상태에서 먼저 핵생성되어 Al의 핵생성 site로 작용한다. 635$^{\circ}C$에서 용체화 처리한 시편에서는 수백 nm 크기를 갖는 $Al_3$Sc상이 계면과 matrix내에 구형으로 존재함을 확인하였다. 수백 nm 크기의 $Al_3$Sc상의 내부에는 역위상 경계(Antiphase boundary)이 존재로 인한 특징적인 contrast가 관찰되었으며, 이 $Al_3$Sc상은 응고시 생성된 작은 $Al_3$Sc상들이 모여져 생성된 것으로 추측된다. 수백 nm 크기 의 $Al_3$Sc사와 Al matrix 사이의 계면에는 격자상수 차이에 의한 많은 edge dislocation들이 관찰된다.

The effects of scandium content and extrusion parameters on Al-Zn-Mg-(Sc) alloys were examined. Three kinds of Al-Zn-Mg-(Sc) alloys with up to 0.30 wt.% Sc were prepared. The compression test was conducted to investigate the microstructure evolution during hot deformation. Despite of microstructural differences in the alloys, deformation behaviors were very similar. After extrusion at $350^{\circ}C$ with the ram speed of 15mm/sec, AA7075 showed a moderate surface quality compared with other Sc containing alloys, which was attributed to low flow stresses. AA7075 showed coarse-grained bands in surface region. With the ram speed of 1.5mm/sec at $350^{\circ}C$, the surface quality of the alloys was sound due to low friction stresses and deformation heating. As the Sc content increased, tensile strengths and elongations at room temperature improved.

Functionalization of zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) segment containing 120 C atoms with pyridine (3NV-ZGNR) defects was investigated on the basis of density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, results show that edge-modified ZGNRs by Sc can adsorb multiple hydrogen molecules in a quasi-molecular fashion, thereby can be a potential candidate for hydrogen storage. The stability of Sc functionalization is dictated by a strong binding energy, suggesting a reduction of clustering of metal atoms over the metal-decorated ZGNR.

To investigate the degrees of toxification in the serpentine areas, serpentinites and adjacent metamorphic rocks and soils from the serpentinite, metamorphic area and transitional area(mixed soil) between serpentinite and metamorphic rocks are collected from the Hongseong-Gun, Chungnam. A plant, Geochemically, the serpentinites are high in the nickel, chromium and cobalt content whereas the metamorphic rocks show high zinc, scandium, molybdenum and iron contents. The serpentine soils are high in the nickel, chromium and cobalt contents whereas the non-serpentine soils show high zinc and iron contents. Heavy metal contents in the G. oldhamiana are high in the serpentine soil relative to the mixed soil. Ratio of the iron to nickel contents for the G. oldhamiana are low in the serpentine soil(49) relative to the mixed soil(216). Of the G. oldhamiana, most of the heavy metal contents except zinc and molybdenum are high in the root relative to the aboveground vegetation. Comparing with rocks, the G. oldhamiana is low in the all of heavy metal contents relative to the serpentinite. Uptake of zinc by the G. oldhamiana is high in the serpentinites and metamorphic rocks whereas uptake of scandium and iron by the G. oldhamiana is very high in the serpentinite area.
