Nano sized FeAl intermetallic particles were successfully synthesized by plasma arc discharge pro-cess. The synthesized powders shouted core-shell structures with the particle size of 10-20 nm. The core was metallic FeAl and shell was composed of amorphous Because of the difference of Fe and Al vapor pressure during synthesis, the Al contents in the nanoparticles depended on the Al contents of master alloy.

Iron-carbon nanocapsules were synthesized by plasma arc discharge (PAD) process under various atmosphere of methane, argon and hydrogen gas. Characterization and surface properties were investigated by means of HRTEM, XRD, XPS and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Fe nanocapsules synthesized were composed of three phases with core/shell structures. The surface of nanocapsules was covered by the shell of graphite phase in the thickness of nm.

Fe nanopowders were successfully synthesized by plasma arc discharge (PAD) process using Fe rod. The influence of chamber pressure on the microstructure was investigated by means of X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The prepared particles had nearly spherical shapes and consisted of metallic cores (a-Fe) and oxide shells (FeO), The powder size increased with increasing chamber pressure due to the higher dissolution and ejection rate of H and gas density in the molten metal.

To investigate the effect of the parameters of the plasma arc discharge process on the particle formation and particle characteristics of the iron nano powder, the chamber pressure, input current and the hydrogen volume fraction in the powder synthesis atmosphere were changed. The particle size and phase structure of the synthesized iron powder were studied using the FE-SEM, FE-TEM and XRD. The synthesized iron powder particle had a core-shell structure composed of the crystalline -Fe in the core and the crystalline in the shell. The powder generation rate and particle size mainly depended on the hydrogen volume fraction in the powder synthesis atmosphere. The particle size increased simultaneously with increasing the hydrogen volume fraction from 10% to 50%, and it ranged from about 45nm to 130 nm.

이 연구는 공간 트러스의 비선형 해석을 위한 해석기법의 수치해석적 효율성에 관한 것으로써, 좌굴 이후의 거동 파악이 가능한 복합 호장법을 제안하였다. 복합 호장범은 현 강성변수를 제어변수로 사용하여, 안정구간에서는 선취법이 첨가된 Secant-Newton법을 사용하여, 불안정구간에서는 가속법이 첨가된 호장법을 사용하는 방법이다. 해석기법의 효율성을 비교하기 위하여 제시된 수지예제에 대한 해의 정확성, 수렴성, 계산시간을 기존의 호장법과 비교하였다. 공간 트러스의 기하학적 비선형 해석에 있어서는 이 연구에서 제안된 복합 호장법이 기존의 호장법보다 수치 해석적 효율성이 뛰어난 것을 알 수 있었다.

아크이온 플레이팅 장치를 이용하여 STD61강 기판 위에 이온질화 전처리를 행하거나 하지 않은 후, CrN 박막을 증착하고, 대기중 700~900˚C의 온도에서 40시간동안 이들에 대한 산화거동을 연구하였다. 산화거동은 열중량분석기, X선회절기, EDS, SEM을 이용하여 조사하였다. 증착된 CrN박막은 CrN과 Cr2N의 두 상으로 구성되어 있었다. CrN박막은 보호적 Cr2O3층을 형성하여 기판을 산화로부터 보호하였다. 이온질화처리는 CrN박막의 내산화성에 영향을 주지 않았다.

The synthetic methods for high yield of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) and singlewalled carbon nanotube (SWNT) with high purity by arc discharge have been investigated. MWNTs were synthesized under different pressures of helium and the gas mixture of argon and hydrogen. Relatively high pressure of 300-400 torr was required for high yield MWNTs synthesis at low bias voltage of about 20 V and 55 A, whereas low pressure of about 100 torr was required for SWNTs. The introduction of hydrogen gases during the synthesis of MWNTs improved the yield and purity of the samples. The SWNTs were synthesized by the assistance of a small amount of mixture of transition metals, which played as a catalyst during the formation process. The purity and yield of SWNTs were higher at a lower pressure and enhanced by mixing more components of the transition metals.
