본 연구에서는 TiO2 입자를 얻을 수 있는 침전법을 이용하여 TiO2 입자를 제조하였다. TiO2 입자 제조시 사용되는 알콜 용매의 종류와 온도 변화 등의 매개변수가 TiO2 입자의 결정 구조, 입자의 크기 및 형태에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. TiO2 입자제조시 용매로 사용한 알콜 종류인 methyl alcohol, iso-propylalcohol, 그리고 tert-butylalcohol를 scanning electron microscope(SEM) 분석한 결과 iso-propylalcohol이 가장 좋은 결과를 가져왔다. 그리고 온도 변화를 열분석법을 사용한 결과 200℃에서 500℃까지는 아나타제 구조를 유지하였으나, 800℃에서는 루틸 구조로 전환되었다.

The particle size of MgO was examined as a function of the Na content in Mg(OH)2 powders and the calcination temperature. Mg(OH)2 suspension was obtained by dropwise precipitation of Mg(NO3)2·6H2O and NaOH solutions. The suspension was diluted by varying the dilution volume ratio of distilled water to Mg(OH)2 suspension to change the Na salt concentration in the suspension. Mg(OH)2 slurry was filtered and dried at 60˚C under vacuum, and then its Mg(OH)2 powder was calcined to produce MgO with different amount of Na content at 500~900˚C under air. Investigation of the physical and chemical properties of the various MgO powders with dilution ratio and calcination temperature variation was done by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, BET specific surface area and thermal gravimetric analysis. It was observed that MgO particle size could depend on the condition of calcination temperature and dilution ratio of the Mg(OH)2 suspension. The particle size of the MgO depends on the Na content remaining in the Mg(OH)2 powder, which powder was prepared by changing the dilution ratio of the Mg(OH)2 suspension. This change increased as the calcination temperature increased and decreased as the dilution ratio increased. The growth of MgO particle size according to the increase of temperature was more effective when there was a relatively high content of Na. The increase of Na content lowered the temperature at which decomposition of Mg(OH)2 to MgO took place, thereby promoting the crystal growth of MgO.

Silver particles were synthesized from silver nitrate by homogeneous precipitation and chemical reduction methods involving the intermediate silver cyanate. The obtained silver particles were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and BET. Urea which could prevent the agglomeration of the reduced silver particles was used as a homogeneous precipitator. The spherical silver particles with average particle diameter of 100 nm were obtained under the optimum reaction conditions. The optimum synthetic conditions were found as follows: reaction temperature , reaction time 60 min, concentration of silver nitrate mol, urea mol, and sodium citrate mol. The phase of obtained silver particles was crystalline state and the silver particles were relatively dense, which had the surface area of .

본 연구에서는 입자 침전법으로 제작된 HgO와 PbO 기반 영상 센서의 유방촬영 영역에서의 적용 가능성을 조사하였다. 이를 위하여, 다양한 두께에 따른 HgO와 PbO 필름의 물리적 특성과 x선에 대한 양자 효율을 측정하였으며, 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교 평가하였다. 또한, 입자 침강법을 이용하여 인듐 주석 산화물로 코팅 된 투명 유리기판 위에 대면적 다결정 박막을 제작하였다. 본 연구에서는 단결정의 효율과 비슷한 양자 효율을 얻기 위하여 필름의 두께와 제작 조건을 변화시켜 최적화 하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 기반으로 차후 대면적 a-Si:H 패널에 적합한 대면적 필름의 제작 기술과 최적화 연구가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
