In this paper, impregnated activated carbon fiber (IACF) was manufactured to pitch-based activated carbon fibers (ACF) with potassium hydroxide (KOH) by using wet impregnation method to raise nitrogen oxides (NOx) adsorptivity. The properties of IACF were observed using EPMA, TGA and DSC and NOx adsorptivity was observed at high and low temperature. Before and after adsorption was analyzed using ToF-SIMS for examine surface characterization of adsorbed NOx. The results showed that the better adsorptivity appeared for increasing KOH ratio. So, NOx adsorptivity showed result that is proportional between KOH and the adsorbed amount. On the other hand, adsorbent that manufactured without washing was better NOx adsorptivity than adsorbent that manufactured with washing. The behavior of adsorption show that crossing time of NO and NO2 delayed for a rising adsorptivity. And NO ratio increased but NO2 ratio decreased according as KOH ratio increases. NOx was confirmed through surface analysis that remain in NO2- and NO3- form on IACF surface.

용융공정 (123) 초전도체는 고자장 하에서도 통전특성이 우수하다 그러나 123 초전도체에는 미세균열이나 기공과 같이 초전도체의 통전특성에 유해 한 요인들도 다수 포함된다. 미세균열은 고온 정방정 상이 저온 사방정상으로 상변 태 시 발생하는 웅력에 의해 생성된다. 반면, 기공은 123 성형체를 녹이는 과정에서 123 상에 포함된 산소원자들이 격자로부터 이탈되고, 이 산소원자들이 모여 액상에서 기공을 형성한다. 제조공정에 따라 기공의 크기와 밀도가 다르지

Formation of pores in melt-processed (123) oxides and its effect on the microstructure were studied. Spherical pores with a size of a few tens of microns were formed due to the evolution of oxygen gas during melting of a 123 oxide. Some of pores were converted into liquid pockets by liquid filling, but others remained unfilled. The liquid pockets were converted into spherical 123 regions with a lower (211)density through the peritectic reaction during subsequent cooling, while the pores were entrapped into the periteictically grown 123 grains. The spherical 123 regions often consists of a residual melt due to the unbalanced peritectically reaction.

The synthesis and characteristics of W-Ni-Fe nanocomposite powder by hydrogen reduction of ball milled W-Ni-Fe oxide mixture were investigated. The ball milled oxide mixture was prepared by high energy attrition milling of W blue powder, NiO and for 1 h. The structure of the oxide mixture was characteristic of nano porous agglomerate composite powder consisting of nanoscale particles and pores which act as effective removal path of water vapor during hydrogen reduction process. The reduction experiment showed that the reduction reaction starts from NiO, followed by and finally W oxide. It was also found that during the reduction process rapid alloying of Ni-Fe yielded the formation of -Ni-Fe. After reduction at 80 for 1 h, the nano-composite powder of W-4.57Ni-2.34Fe comprising W and -Ni-Fe phases was produced, of which grain size was35nm for W and 87 nm for -Ni-Fe, respectively. Sinterability of the W heavy alloy nanopowder showing full density and sound microstructure under the condition of 147/20 min is thought to be suitable for raw material for powder injection molding of tungsten heavy alloy.

Lithium intercalated carbon (LIC) are basically employed as an anode for currently commercialized lithium secondary batteries. However, there are still strong interests in modifying carbon surface of active materials of the anode because the amount of irreversible capacity, charge-discharge capacity and high rate capability are largely determined by the surface conditions of the carbon. In this study, the carbonaceous materials were coated with tin oxide and copper by fluidized-bed chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and their coating effects on electrochemical characteristics were investigated. The electrode which coated with tin oxides gave the higher capacity than that of raw material. Their capacity decreased with the progress of cycling possibly due to severe volume changes. However, the cyclability was improved by coating with copper on the surface of the tin oxides coated carbonaceous materials, which plays an important role as an inactive matrix buffering volume changes. An impedance on passivation film was decreased as tin oxides contents and it resulted in the higher capacity.

Distribution of (211) Particles within (123) grains of melt infiltration processed YBCO oxides was investigated. Processing parameters were a temperature, atmosphere (air and ) and initial 211 size. The 211 particles were distributed randomly within the 123 grains when the initial 211 size was large, while they made x-like pattern and/or butterfly-like patterns when the 211 size was small. The 211 patterns were more clearly observed in the samples prepared at higher temperatures and under atmosphere. The 211 distribution was explained in terms of the interfacial energy relationship among the solid, particle and melt.

Gate oxide의 특성은 세정공정에서 사용된 last세정용액에 큰 영향을 받는다. Standard RCA, HF-last, SCI-last, and HF-only 공정들은 gate oxidation하기 전 본 실험에서 행해진 세정공정들이다. 세정공정을 마친 Si기판들은 oxidation furnace에서 900˚C로 thermal oxidation공정을 거치게 된다. 100Å의 gate oxide를 성장시킨 후 lifetime detector, VPD, AAS, SIMS, TEM, 그리고 AFM고 같은 분석장비를 이용하여 oxide의 특성을 평가했다. HF-last와 HF-only 공정에 의해 금속 불순물들이 매우 효과적으로 제거됐음을 알 수 있었다. Oxide의 표면 및 계면 형상은AFM과 TEM 측정을 통하여 관찰하였다. 표면거칠기는 SCI 세정용액을 사용한 splits 실험에서 불균일함이 관찰되었고 HF-only세정공정을 거친 시편 및 계면이 가장 smooth했다.

서브마이크론 설계규칙을 갖는 소자의 이층 배선 공정에서 다챔버 장비를 이용한 금속 층간절연막의 공극없는 평탄화를 위하여 PECVD와 O3 ThCVD산화막의 증착시 층덮힘성을 연구하였다. 산화막의 두께가 증가됨에 따라 변화되는 순간단차비의 개념을 도입하여 공극형성의 개시점을 예측할 수 있는 관계식을 모델링하였고, 금속배선간격의 초기 단차비가 다양한 패턴에서 산화막의 두께에 따른 순간 단차비의 변화를 조사하였다. 모델링 검정결과 5˚이하의 re-entrant각을 갖는 TEOS에 의한 PECVO 산화막의 순간단차비가 모델링에 잘 일치하였다. 공극없는 평탄화는 제1층의 PECVD 산화막의 순간 단차비를 0.8이하로 유지하거나 Ar sputter식각을 통하여 산화막의 모서리에 경사를 준후 층덮힘성이 우수한 O3 ThCVD산화막을 증착함으로써 가능하였다. O3 ThCVD산화막의 etchback이 non etchback공정에 비하여 via접쪽저항체인에서 높은 수율을 보였으며, via접촉저항은 0.1~0.3Ω/μm2로 나타났다.

RuO2와 glass의 비가 20/80과 12/88인 두종류의 후막저항계에 NTCR 특성을 나타내는 여러종류의 산화물을 첨가하였을때 저항체의 TCR과 전기비저항이 어떻게 변화하는가에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 첨가된 TCR modifier들이 NTCR특성을 갖는다고해서 저항체의 TCR이 창상 감소되지는 않으며 또한 어떠한 modifier가 모든 저항계에 항상 일정 방향으로만 TCR을 변화시키지는 않았다. 그러나 이들 TCR modifier들을 적당량 첨가함으로써 후막저항체의 TCR과 저항값을 원하는 바대로 얻을 수 있다는 가능성을 확인하였다. 두 종류의 이상의 TCR modifier를 동시에 첨가하였을때에 첨가된 TCR modifier들 각각의 TCR변화가 합해져서 결과로 나타남으로써 이들 사용된 TCR modifier들 간에는 상호작용이 없음을 알 수 있었다. TCR modifier의 첨가량은 2~3%내로 억제하는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 있었다.

The effect of the metal oxide catalyst in the dimerization of waste vegetable oil was investigated. The high efficiency and recyclability has allowed different metal oxides to be used as catalysts in numerous synthetic reactions. Herein, clay, aluminum, titanium, calcium, magnesium and silicon oxide micro/nanoparticles are used in a Diels-Alder reaction to catalyze the production of the dimer acids. The metal oxides assist the electron transfers during cyclization to produce the desired product. Liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy (LC-MS) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) were used to verify the production of dimer acids. For the confirmation of cyclization, compounds were analyzed using the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. From the analysis, silylated or pristine clay showed its effectiveness as a catalyst in dimerization. Furthermore, alumina and alumina/silica composite showed successful performance in the reaction to yield cyclic dimer acids. These result suggested that metal oxides and montmorillonite might be used in synthesis of dimer acids for the recycle of waste vegetable oils.
