Hydration scheme and hydration energy are determined in ${\alpha}$ cage of zeolite NaA. The selectivity between Na(1) and Na(2) is determined from energy calculation. The waters in ${\alpha}$ cage form a distorted dodecahedral cage. The average binding energies of water(1), water(2) and water(3) are -29.847, -25.344 and -15.888 kcal/mole respectively. The positions of oxygens of hydrated waters are in good agreement with the X-ray data. The heat of immersion curve is also obtained. This result is in good agreement with the differential heat of sorption curve obtained from differential thermal analysis. It is concluded that theoretical method provides considerable uses in the determination and understanding of the hydration and interaction energy of zeolites sorbate binding.

We present a study of optically emitting supernova remnants (SNRs) in M31 based on $H{\alpha}$ and [S II] images in the Local Group Survey. Using these images, we have selected objects that have [S II]:$H{\alpha}$ > 0.4 and morphology for typical SNRs. We find 76 new SNRs. We have also inspected 233 SNR candidates presented in previous studies, confirming that only 80 of them are SNRs. Combining these, we produce a master catalog of 156 SNRs in M31. We classify these SNRs according to two types of criteria: the SNR progenitor types (Type Ia and core-collapse (CC) SNRs) and the morphological types. Type Ia and CC SNRs are 23% and 77%, respectively, of the total sample. Most of CC SNRs are concentrated along the spiral arms, while Type Ia SNRs are rather spread over the entire galaxy including the inner region. CC SNRs are brighter in $H{\alpha}$ and [S II] than Type Ia SNRs. The cumulative size distribution of the SNRs with 15 < D < 50 pc is well fitted by a power law with an index, ${\alpha}=2.53{\pm}04$. It indicates that most SNRs in M31 are in Sedov-Taylor phase. Properties of these SNRs show little variation depending on the galactocentric distance. The $H{\alpha}$ and [S II] surface brightness shows a good correlation with X-ray luminosity for the SNRs that are center-bright.

Cellulose triacetate (CTA) was prepared from cotton linter and pulps which contain various contents of $\alpha$-cellulose. CTA which contains 2.8 of degree of substitution (DS) and 222 of degree of polymerization (DP) was obtained from V-81 pulp under the heterogeneous system. The DS was measured by the titration method, and the DP was obtained by measurement of viscosity. FT-IR spectometer (FT-IR 6300, JASCO) was used to analyze the chemical structure of raw materials and cellulose triacetate, and X-ray diffractometer (X-pert MPD PW3040, Philips) was used to confirm the crystal structure and to calculate the relative crystallinity index (RCI). As $\alpha$-cellulose content in pulp increased, the acetylation yield increased. Besides with a kind of pulp, it contains insoluble residue which was mainly formed due to the formation of glucomannan triacetate and xylan diacetate during the esterification.

In order to look into the internal structure and the properties in the silicone rubbers added reinforcing fillers; silica $additives(O{\sim}140phr)$, and to examine the behavior of charged particles, the properties of thermally stimulated current(TSC) and X-Ray diffraction are investigated, respectively. And then, from the TSC which are formed by applying the electric field of $2{\sim}5kV/mm$ to specimen at the temperature range from -150 to $260^{\circ}C$, the results are as follwing: In the case of non-filled specimen, four peaks of ${\delta},\;{\gamma},\;{\beta}\;and\;{\alpha}$ are obtained at the temperature of $-120^{\circ}C,\;-60^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C\;and\;130^{\circ}C$, respectively and the case of filled specimen, three peaks of ${\delta},\;{\alpha}_2\;and\;{\alpha}_1$ are observed at the temperature of $-120^{\circ}C,\;80^{\circ}C\;and\;130^{\circ}C$, respectively. The origins of these peaks are that, the ${\delta}$ peak seems to the result from the contribution of side chain methyl radical, and the ${\gamma}$ peak from the depolarization of space charge polarization owing to be added impurity during manufacturing specimens, and the ${\beta}$ peak from the orientation of $Si-CH_3$ dipole, and the ${\alpha}_2$ near the temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ from hydroxyl in carboxylic radical, and finally, the ${\alpha}_1$ peak near the temperature of $130^{\circ}C$ from carboxyl acid that is formed by the thermal oxidation of high temperature.

In this work, we synthesize brilliant yellow color ${\alpha}$-FeOOH by controlling the rod length and core-shell structure. The characteristics of ${\alpha}$-FeOOH nanorods are controlled by the reaction conditions. In particular, the length of the ${\alpha}$-FeOOH rods depends on the concentration of the raw materials, such as the alkali solution. The length of the nanorods is adjusted from 68 nm to 1435 nm. Their yellowness gradually increases, with the highest $b^*$ value of 57 based on the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) Lab system, by controlling the nanorod length. A high quality yellow color is obtained after formation of a silica coating on the ${\alpha}$-FeOOH structure. The morphology and the coloration of the nal products are investigated in detail by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and the CIE Lab color parameter measurements.

Hexagonal M-type barium ferrite $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ was prepared by a direct solid state reaction between $BaCO_3$ and ${\Alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ powders at temperatures ranging from 800 to 1000 $^{\circ}C$ in a nitrogen or air environment. The effects of NaCl on phase transformation of mixture of $BaCO_3$ and ${\Alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ to $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ were studied using X-ray diffraction and M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. Regardless of the environment for heat treatment or the added NaCl, two phases, BaFe and ${\Alpha}-Fe_2O_3$, coexist for samples heat treated at 800 $^{\circ}C$, but a single phase was observed from samples heat treated at 100$0^{\circ}C$ in both air and nitrogen environments. It was found that the addition of NaCl reduced the amount of $a-Fe_2O_3$ phase.hase.

A hard X-ray microscope system for obtaining images of nano-spatial resolution has been widely studied and requires monochromatic X-ray. A multilayer mirror of 84% reflectivity was designed to acquire tungsten characteristic X-ray of 8.4 keV from the white beam generated from an X-ray tube, and the C/W multilayer mirror of $50{\times}50\;mm$ size and 5.65 nm d-spacing was fabricated by the ion-beam sputtering system. The C/W multilayer had a uniformity of 99.5%, and the structure of the multilayer mirror was verified by a TEM image. The obtainable x-ray reflectivity for the C/W multilayer mirror at 8.4 keV was estimated from measuring the X-ray reflectivity using the copper characteristic X-ray of 8.05 keV. Monochromatic X-ray of 8.4 keV was generated by combining a X-ray tube, and the reflectivity and monochromaticity were 77.1% and 0.21 keV, respectively. Monochromatic X-ray generated from the combination of an X-ray tube and an C/W multilayer mirror has enough potential to use X-ray source for hard X-ray microscope system of laboratory size. If the C/W multilayer mirror of d-spacing of a few nanometers can be fabricated, monochromatic X-ray corresponded to 17.5 keV, molybdenum characteristic X-ray, can be obtained and applied to mammography in the medical application.

We report facile solution processing of mesoporous hematite (${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$) thin films for high efficiency solar-driven water splitting. $Fe_2O_3$ thin films were prepared on fluorine doped tin oxide(FTO) conducting substrates by spin coating of a precursor solution followed by annealing at $550^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. in air ambient. Specifically, the precursor solution was prepared by dissolving non-toxic $FeCl_3$ as an Fe source in highly versatile dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) as a solvent. The as-deposited and annealed thin films were characterized for their morphological, structural and optical properties using field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The photoelectrochemical performance of the precursor (${\alpha}-FeOOH$) and annealed (${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$) films were characterized and it was found that the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ film exhibited an increased photocurrent density of ${\sim}0.78mA/cm^2$ at 1.23 V vs. RHE, which is about 3.4 times higher than that of the ${\alpha}-FeOOH$ films ($0.23mA/cm^2$ at 1.23 V vs. RHE). The improved performance can be attributed to the improved crystallinity and porosity of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ thin films after annealing treatment at higher temperatures. Detailed electrical characterization was further carried out to elucidate the enhanced PEC performance of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ thin films.

$NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}$ has been studied with X-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnet-ometer(VSM). The alloys were prepared by arc-melting under an argon atmosphere. The $NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}$ contains some $\alpha-Fe$, from X-ray and Mossbauer measurements. The $NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}$ has the $ThMn_{12}$-type tetragonal struc-ture with $a_{0}=8.607{\AA}\;and\;c_{0}=4.790{\AA}$. The Curie temperature ($T_c$) of the $NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}$ is 590 K from $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy performed at various temperatures ranging from 13 to 800 K. Each spectrum below $T_c$ was fitted with six subspectra of Fe sites in the structure$(8i_{1},\;8i_{2},\;8j_{2},\;8j_{1},\;8f\;and\;{\alpha}-Fe)$. The area fractions of the subspectra at room temperature are 13.8%, 15.4%, 17%, 16.4%, 34.1% and 3.3%, respectively. Magenetic hyperfine fields for the Fe sites decrease in the order, $H_{hf}(8i)>H_{hf}(8j)>H_{hf}(8f)$. The abrupt changes in the magnetic hyperfine field, isomer shift and magnetic moment observed at about 180 K in $NdFe_{10.7}Ti_{1.3}$ are attributed to spin reorientation.

Transformation of austenite to martensite during cold rolling has been widely used to strengthen metastable austenitic stainless steel grades. Aging treatment of cold worked metastable austenitic stainless steels, including ${\alpha}'$-martensite phase, results in the further increase of strength, when aging is performed in $200^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$ temperature range. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of time and temperature on the stress-strain behavior of cold worked austenitic stainless steels. The amount of ${\alpha}'$-martensite during cold working and aging was examined by ferrite scope and X-ray diffraction (XRD). During aging at $450^{\circ}C$ for 1hr, tensile strength dramatically increased by 150MPa. Deformed metastable austenitic steels containing the "body-centered" ${\alpha}'$-martensite are strengthened by the diffusion of interstitial solute atoms during aging at low temperature.
