The chemical ingredients such as $SiO_2,\;Al_2O_3,\;MgO,\;Fe_2O_3,\;CaO$ and $TiO_2$in silica minerals were determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry using a matrix correction method. The synthesized standards mixed with reagent grade oxides and the sample were diluted by fusing with 16 times $Li_2B_4O_7$. The matrix effects correlated among the ingredients were corrected by the empirical coefficient method based on the Lucas-Tooth and Pyne model. The analytical results showed relatively good agreement between the different sets of coefficients but were improved with increasing the number of standard. The accuracy of this method was also examined with the standard reference material of NIST.

전 세계적으로 화석연료의 고갈 및 환경오염 문제를 해결하기 위해 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 이러한 신재생에너지에는 수소 에너지, 자연 에너지(태양열, 지열 등), 바이오 매스 에너지 등이 포함된다. 이 중 수소 에너지는 지구상에 풍부하게 존재하고 있는 물과 탄화수소로부터 얻어지며, 연소 시에도 다시 물을 형성하여 오염 물질을 배출하지 않는 차세대 무공해 에너지원으로써 주목을 받고 있다. 수소 제조를 위한 공정에는 수증기 개질 공정(steam reforming), 부분 산화(partial oxidation) 및 자열개질(autothermal reforming) 등이 있으며 실제로 생산되는 대부분의 수소는 탄소/수소비(1:4)가 높은 메탄($CH_4$) 가스를 이용한 메탄 수증기 개질 공정(steam methane reforming)을 통하여 제조된다. 이 때 수소 제조의 고효율화 및 저비용화를 위해서는 반응물에 대한 높은 선택도, 고활성도 및 높은 안정성을 갖는 촉매가 반드시 필요하며, 대표적으로 Ni, Pt, Ru 등이 보고되고 있다. 이러한 촉매들은 대부분 세라믹 pellet 형태로 제작되어 왔으나 열전도도가 낮고 물리적 충격에 취약하다는 단점이 존재한다. 따라서 우리는 이러한 단점을 극복하고, 촉매의 활성을 높이기 위하여 다공성 금속 합금 폼을 촉매 지지체로 도입하였다. 또한, 다공성 금속 합금 폼 표면에 촉매의 분산 및 안정성을 향상시키기 위해 지지체와 촉매 사이에 원자층 증착법을 이용하여 inter-layer를 도입하였다. 이들의 구조, 형태, 및 표면의 화학적 상태는 주사전자현미경, EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy)가 탑재된 주사전자현미경, X-선 회절, 및 X-선 광전자 분광법을 이용하여 규명하였다. 더하여 정전압-전류 측정법 및 유도 결합 플라즈마 분광 분석기을 이용하여 전기 화학 반응을 유도하고, 반응 후 전해질의 성분분석을 통해 촉매와 지지체 간의 안정성을 평가하였다. 따라서 본 결과들은 한국진공학회 하계정기학술대회를 통해 좀 더 자세히 논의될 것이다.

We have studied $Al_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ produced by direct composition method using X-ray diffraction and Mssbauer spectroscopy. The cation distribution for $Al_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ was determined by the ratio of sub-spectra absorption area. The charge state of Fe atoms in octahedral site(B-site) is $Fe^{2.5+}$ based on electron hopping, $Fe^{2+}$ ↔ $(Fe^{3+},Al^{3+})$ without dependency of substituted Al amounts.

By employing photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), the electronic structure of the candidate half-metallic antiferromagnet of $Mn_3Ga$ Heusler compound has been investigated. We have studied two ball-milled $Mn_3Ga$ powder samples, one after annealing and the other without annealing, respectively. Based on the Mn 2p XAS study, we have found that Mn ions are nearly divalent in $Mn_3Ga$ and that the Mn ions having the locally octahedral symmetry and those having the locally tetrahedral symmetry are both present in $Mn_3Ga$. We have found relatively good agreement between the measured valence-band PES spectrum of $Mn_3Ga$ and the calculated density of states, which is in agreement with the half-metallic electronic structure of $Mn_3Ga$.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films is a metastable form of amorphous carbon containing a significant fraction of Sp3 bond. DLC films have been characterized by a range of attractive mechanical, chemical, tribological, as well as optical and electrical properties. In this study DLC films were prepared by the RF magnetron sputter system on $SiO_2$ substrates using graphite target. The effects of the post annealing temperature on the Property variation of the DLC films were examined. The DLC films were annealed at temperatures ranging from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$ using rapid thermal process equipment in vacuum. The variation of electrical property and surface morphology as a function of annealing treatment was investigated by using a Hall Effect measurement and atomic force microscopy. Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses revealed a structural change in the DLC films.

This study aims at making a research into the physical and chemical properties of the neolithic era potterys, which are unearthed from Gosanli, Sagaeli, Bukchonli, Samyangdong and Gonaili districts in Cheju Island, by using X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and Mossbauer spectroscopy. This results are as follows. The principal component of five plain coarse pottery sherds by X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and X-ray diffraction spectrum at the room temperature is silicate mineral which is equal to SiO$_2$, and they also have a little magetite, hematite and goethite. The most existent Fe is Fe$\^$+3/ through Mossbauer spectroscopy analysis of plain coarse pottery sherds and it is presumed that the magnetic hyperfine splitting caused this result. The ratio of Fe$\^$2+//(Fe$\^$2+/+Fe$\^$3+/) is mostly zero by Mossbauer spectrum at the room temperature of plain coarse pottery sherds and it is thought because they were fired in the atmosphere.

In this study, $Al_xGa_{1-x}N$ films were grown on (0001) sapphire substrates by using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The crystallinity of the grown films was examined with X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The surfaces and the chemical properties of the $Al_xGa_{1-x}N$ films were investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The optical properties of the $Al_xGa_{1-x}N$ film were studied in a wide photon energy range between 2.0 ~ 8.7 eV by using spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) at room temperature. The data obtained by using SE were analyzed to find the critical points of the pseudodielectric function spectra, $<{\varepsilon}(E)>=<{\varepsilon}_1(E)>+i<{\varepsilon}_2(E)>$. In addition, the second derivative spectra, $d^2<{\varepsilon}(E)>/dE^2$, of the pseudodielectric function for the $Al_xGa_{1-x}N$ films were numerically calculated to determine the critical points (CPs), such as the $E_0$, $E_1$, and $E_2$ structure. For the four samples (x = 0.18, 0.21, 0.25, 0.29) between a composition of x = 0.18 and x = 0.29, changes in the critical points (blue-shifts) with increasing Al composition at 300 K for the $Al_xGa_{1-x}N$ film were observed via ellipsometric measurements for the first time.

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of magnetic oxide system (F $e_2$ $O_3$)$_{5}$(A $l_2$ $O_3$)$_{4-x}$(G $a_2$ $O_3$)$_{x}$)SiO has been studied using X-ray diffraction and Mossbauer spectroscopy The changes of magnetic structure by the Ga ion substitution and the temperature variation have been investigated using Mossbauer spectroscopy, and the results are compared with those of the SQUIB measurements. Results of X-ray diffraction indicated that the crystal structures of the system change from a cubic spinel type to an orthorhombic via the intermediate region. This magnetic oxide system seems to be new kind of spinel type ferrites containing high concentration of cation vacancies. Various and complicated Mossbauer spectra were observed in the samples (x>0.2) at temperatures lower than room temperature. This result could be explained by freezing of the superparamagnetic dusters. On cooling and substitution, magnetic states of the system show various and multicritical properties. Unexpected dip in magnetization curves below 50K was observed in SQUID measurements. It was interpreted as an effect of spin canting including spin freezing or collective spin behavior.ior.r.

Au was dosed on $TiO_2(001)$ film grown epitaxially on Mo(100) surface in about 90 ${\AA}$ thickness. The growth mode of Au, thermal behavior and stability of the Au clusters, and the binding energy shift of Au 4f with the change in the amount of Au loading were studied by Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) spectroscopy, Ion Scattering Spectroscopy (ISS), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Au grows three dimensionally on $TiO_2(001)$ film and the average size of Au clusters prepared at low temperature is smaller than those at higher temperature and the size increases with temperature irreversibly. Au clusters on $TiO_2(001)/Mo(100)$ start evaporation at 1000 K. TPD spectra of Au show very asymmetric peaks with the same leading edges irrespective of the amount of Au loading. The temperature at the peak maximum increases with the amount of Au. The desorption energy of Au obtained from the leading edge analysis of the TPD spectra is about 50 kcal/mol. The initial sticking coefficient of Au on $TiO_2(001)$ is constant in the temperature range of 200-600 K. The binding energy of Au 4f for the Au loaded on the film less than 2.0 MLE shifts to higher energy compared with the bulk Au. The shift is +0.3 eV at 0.1 MLE Au amount.
