1-Methylimidazole-2-thiol, as a kind of mercaptans, is a typical organic pollutant which has not been efficiently removed. In this study, titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) photocatalyst based on magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was synthesized via hydrothermal and sol-gel methods. The as-prepared photocatalyst was extensively characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray energy diffraction spectrum (EDS), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). This photocatalyst of $TiO_2$/$Fe_3O_4$/MWCNTs was proved to exhibit high photocatalytic efficiency and the photodegradation rate could reach nearly 82.7% for the degradation of 1-methylimidazole-2-thiol under ultraviolet irradiation. In addition, the results demonstrated that inorganic ions had a negative impact on photodegradation of 1-methylimidazole-2-thiol to varying degrees. Moreover, pH had a great and complex effect on photocatalytic degradation of 1-methylimidazole-2-thiol under ultraviolet irradiation.

[ $TiO_2-Fe_2O_3$ ] nanocomposite powders for magnetic photocatalyst were synthesized by sol-gel process, in which $TiO_2$ photocatalytic layer was formed on the surface of $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ magnetic core. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) analysis revealed that$\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles, $10\~20nm$ in diameter, were coated by $TiO_2$ shell of 5nm in thickness and $TiO_2$ was anatase phase. Also hydroxyl group (-OH) used to decompose organic compounds was detected by Fourier transformation infrared spectrometry(FT-IR) analysis. UV-Visible spectrophotometry results showed that light absorption occurred in the wavelength range of $400\~700 nm$, and the band gap energy $(E_g)$ of powder was 1.8 eV. Finally it was found that the coercivity $(H({ci})$ and saturation magnetization $(M_s)$ of the powder were 79 Oe and 14.8 emu/g, respectively as experimental vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurements.

We synthesized Fe-doped $TiO_2/{\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ core-shell nanowires(NWs) by means of a co-electrospinning method and demonstrated their magnetic properties. To investigate the structural, morphological, chemical, and magnetic properties of the samples, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used, as was a vibrating sample magnetometer. The morphology of the nanostructures obtained after calcination at $500^{\circ}C$ exhibited core/shell NWs consisting of $TiO_2$ in the core region and ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ in the shell region. In addition, the XPS results confirmed the formation of Fe-doped $TiO_2$ by the doping effect of $Fe^{3+}$ ions into the $TiO_2$ lattice, which can affect the ferromagnetic properties in the core region. For comparison, pure ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ NWs were also fabricated using an electrospinning method. With regard to the magnetic properties, the Fe-doped $TiO_2/{\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ core-shell NWs exhibited improved saturation magnetization(Ms) of approximately ~2.96 emu/g, which is approximately 6.1 times larger than that of pure ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ NWs. The performance enhancement can be explained by three main mechanisms: the doping effect of Fe ions into the $TiO_2$ lattice, the size effect of the $Fe_2O3_$ nanoparticles, and the structural effect of the core-shell nanostructures.

결정구조는 같은 spinel 구조이나, 자기적으로는 각각 반강자성과 준강자성 특성을 띠고 있는 $Co_3O_4$와 자철광 $Fe_3O_4$의 혼성 Co-ferrite인 $Co_xFe_{1-x}O_4$ 박막을 sol-gel법으로 제조하여, Fe 이온에 대한 Co 이온 치환으로 발생된 양이온 거동이 Co-ferrite 박막의 결정구조 및 자기적 특성에 미치는 효과를 XRB 실험, VSM 측정, 그리고 Conversion Electron Mossbauer Spectroscopy (CEMS) 실험으로 조사하였다. 그 결과 $Co^{3+}$ 이온이 주로 $Fe^{3+}$ 이온을 치환하여 단위정의 크기가 감소를 가져오며, 결정구조는 inverse spinel 구조에서 normal spinel 구조로 변환된다. CEMS 분광실험을 통하여 확인된 Fe 이온의 site preference는 주로 $Fe^{3+}$ 이온이 $Co^{3+}$ 치환됨을 보여주고 있으며, 동시에 B-site의 $Co^{2+}$ 이온은 A-site로 이동된다. 자화곡선 측정결과 Co 조성값의 증가로 자기 moment값이 감소되는 것으로 나타났는데, 이것은 low spin상태의 $Co^{3+}$이 high spin상태의 $Fe^{3+}$이온을 치환하여 주로 발생한 것이다.

졸겔법을 이용하여 $AIFeO_3$ 단일상을 제조하였으며, 그 결정학적 및 자기적 특성을 X선 회절법(XRD), 진동 시료 자화율 측정법(VSM), 뫼스바우어 분광법으로 연구하였다. 결정구조는 공간군이 $Pna2_1$ orthorhombic 구조로 분석되었으며, 격자 상수는 각각 $a_0=4.983\;{\AA},\;b_0=8.554\;{\AA},\;c_0=9.239\;{\AA}$임을 알 수 있었다. VSM을 이용하여 65K에서부터 상온까지 여러 온도 구간에서 자기이력곡선을 측정하였으며, 강자성 특성과 함께 저온영역에서 자기 이력 곡선의 비대칭성이 관측되었다. 온도에 따른 자기모멘트 측정 결과로부터 자기전이온도는 250k로 결정하였다. 뫼스바우어 스펙트럼은 4.2K에서부터 상온까지의 온도 영역에서 측정하였으며, 분석 결과 상온에서 이성질체 이동치는 0.32mm/s로 철의 이온상태가 ferric임을 확인할 수 있었다. 온도변화에 따라 측정된 뫼스바우어 스펙트럼 분석은 온도에 따라 선폭이 증가함이 관측되었는데, 이러한 흡수선의 비대칭적 선폭 증가는 1개의 사면체자리와 3개의 팔면체 자리의 Fe이온 분포와 각 부격자간 자기이방성 에너지 차이에 따른 결과로 해석된다.

We have investigated the effects of post annealing on iron oxide nanoparticles synthesized by the novel hydrothermal synthesis method with the $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$. To investigate the post annealing effect, the as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles were annealed at different temperatures in a vacuum chamber. The morphological, structural and magnetic properties of the iron oxide nanoparticles were investigated with high resolution X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Mossbauer spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer analysis. According to the XRD and HRTEM analysis results, as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles were only magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$) phase with face-centered cubic structure but post annealed iron oxide nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ were mainly magnetite phase with trivial maghemite ($\gamma-Fe_2O_3$) phase which was induced in the post annealing treatment. The crystallinity of the iron oxide nanoparticles is enhanced by the post annealing treatment. The particle size of the as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles was about 5 nm and the particle shape was almost spherical. But the particle size of the post annealed iron oxide nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ was around 25 nm and the particle shape was spherical and irregular. The as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles showed superparamagnetic behavior, but post annealed iron oxide nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ did not show superparamagnetic behavior due to the increase of particle size by post annealing treatment. The saturation of magnetization of the as-synthesized nanoparticles, post annealed nanoparticles at $500^{\circ}C$, and post annealed nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ was found to be 3.7 emu/g, 6.1 emu/g, and 7.5 emu/g, respectively. The much smaller saturation magnetization value than one of bulk magnetite can be attributed to spin disorder and/or spin canting, spin pinning at the nanoparticle surface.

$Ba_2CoZnFe_{12}O_{22}$ 시료를 습식분쇄로 이용한 직접 합성법을 사용하였으며, 소결 조건의 변화에 따른 시료 제조후, x-선 회절기(XRD), 진동시료형 자화율측정기(VSM), 회로망 분석기, 그리고 뫼스바우어 분광기 측정을 이용하여 결정학적 및 자기적 특성을 연구하였다. X-선 회절 실험을 통해 Y-type hexaferrite가 주상임을 알 수 있었고, 소결 온도가 증가할수록 밀도가 증가하였다. 상온에서 10 kOe까지의 자화이력곡선 측정 결과, 포화 자화 값는 모든 시료가 약 33 emu/g으로 비슷한 값이 나왔으며, 보자력은 소결 온도가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 회로망 분석기를 통해 100 MHz부터 4 GHz까지 투자율과 유전율을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 소결 온도가 증가할수록 투자율과 tan ${\delta}_{\mu}$는 감소하였다.

$Ni_{0.65}Zn_{0.35}Fe_2O_4$thin films were prepared by using a sol-gel method. Their crystallographic, dielectric and magnetic properties were investigated as a function of Cu contents by means of an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray reflectivity, LCZ meter (NF2232), a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and an atomic force microscope (AFM). From typical C-V measurements for $Ni_{0.65}Zn_{0.35}Fe_2O_4$ thin films on p-type silicon substrate, the surface charge density was calculated as 1.4 ${\mu}$C/$m^2$. The dielectric constant evaluated from the capacitance at the accumulation state was 28. The high $H_{c}$ and low $M_{sat}$ at x=0.0 and 0.1 were due to the growth of the ${\alpha}$-$Fe_2O_3$ phase having antiferromagnetic properties. The rapidly decreased $H_{c}$ and increased $M_{sat}$ at x=0.2 and 0.3 can be explained that the ${\alpha}$-$Fe_2O_3$ phases have completely disappeared at x=0.3 and so, non-magnetic defects are minimized. The $M_{sat}$ was slightly decreased and the $H_{c}$ was increased above at x=0.3 because the increase of grain boundary due to smaller grain size acts as defects during magnetization process.

유리 기판위에 dc magnetron sputtering 방법으로 제작한Fe(50 $\AA$)/[Co(17 $\AA$)/Cu(24 $\AA$)]20 다층박막에 관하여 자기저항비의 기저층, 자성층, 비자성층의 증착률 및 열처리 의존성을 살펴보았다. 낮은 base 압력 중에서의 막의 증착은 Co/Cu 계면의 산화를 억제하여 자기저항비를 장가시켰다. 극대 자기저항비를 얻기위해 요구되는 증착률은 Fe는 1$\AA$)/s 이상, Cu는 2.8 $\AA$)/s 이었으며 Co는 증착률이 2 $\AA$/s 보다 높은 경우에 평탄한 자구형성을 이루어 자기적 향비가 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 40$0^{\circ}C$까지의 시료에 대한 역처리는 다층박막의 주기성을 유지한채 더 큰 결정립을 형성시켜 반강자성적으로 결합한 막의 부분이 증가함으로써 자기저항비를 증가시켰다.

In this study, we report on an investigation of proton radiation resistance of 410 martensitic stainless steels under 3 MeV proton with the doses ranging from $1.0{\times}10^{15}$ to $1.0{\times}10^{17}p/cm^2$ at the temperature 623 K. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) were used to study the variation of magnetic properties and structural damages by virtue of proton irradiation, respectively. VSM and XRD analysis revealed that the 410 martensitic stainless steels showed proton radiation resistance up to $10^{17}p/cm^2$. Proton energy degradation and flux attenuations in 410 stainless steels as a function of penetration depth were calculated by using Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter (SRIM) code. It suggested that the 410 stainless steels have the radiation resistance up to $5.2{\times}10^{-3}$ dpa which corresponds to neutron irradiation of $3.5{\times}10^{18}n/cm^2$. These results could be used to predict the maintenance period of SUS410 stainless steels in fission power plants.
