Magnetite(Fe3O4) powders were synthesized through glycothermal reaction by using crystalline $\alpha$-FeOOH as precursor and ethyleanne glycol as solvent. The phase, morphology and particle size of synthesized powders were characterized by XRD and an SEM. When only ethylene glycol was used as solvent, the phase was transformed from $\alpha$-FeOOH to $\alpha$-Fe2O3 and finally Fe3O4 at 27$0^{\circ}C$ for 6hr without morphological change. But by addition of water, Fe3O4 powders were synthesized at 23$0^{\circ}C$ for 3hr through solution-recrystalization process. As the content of water addition increased, the particle shape changed from sphere to octahedron and the partcle size increased. When the excess amount of water added, residual $\alpha$-FeOOH or $\alpha$-Fe2O3 was recrystalized.

The occurrence of saturation in the CR-39 detector reduces and limits its detection dynamic range; nevertheless, this range could be extended using spectroscopic techniques and by measuring the net bulk rate of the saturated CR-39 detector surface. CR-39 detectors were irradiated by 1.5 MeV high alpha-particle fluence varying from $0.06{\times}10^8$ to $7.36{\times}10^8\;alphas/cm^2$ from Am-241 source; thereafter, they were etched in a 6.25N NaOH solution at a temperature of $70^{\circ}C$ for different durations. Net bulk etch rate measurement of the 1.5 MeV alpha-irradiated CR-39 detector surface revealed that rate increases with increasing etching time and reaches its maximum value at the end of the alpha-particle range. It is also correlated with the alpha-particle fluence. The measurements of UV-Visible (UV-Vis) absorbance at 500 and 600 nm reveal that the absorbance is linearly correlated with the fluence of alpha particles at the etching times of 2 and 4 hour. For extended etching times of 6, 10, and 14.5 hour, the absorbance is saturated for fluence values of $4.05{\times}10^8$, $5.30{\times}10^8$, and $7.36{\times}10^8\;alphas/cm^2$. These new methods pave the way to extend the dynamic range of polymer-based solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs) in measurement of high fluence of heavy ions as well as in radiation dosimetry.

Cellulose nitrate의 KOH 용액부식(溶液腐蝕)때에는 동일(同一)한 부식조건하에(腐蝕條件下)에서 NaOH 경우보다 ${\alpha}$비적직경(飛跡直徑)이 약(約) 3배(培) 크게 나타났다. 그밖에 부식시간(腐蝕時間) 및 ${\alpha}$입자(粒子)의 에너지에 따른 비적직경(飛跡直徑)의 데이타를 얻었고, ${\alpha}$입자(粒子)의 조사조건(照射條件)이 같을 때 흘루언스율(率)(fluence rate)이 부식시간(腐蝕時間)에 무관(無關)함을 알았다.

The possibility of collision of two particles slowly settling one after another in water can be described using the collision efficiency factor in differential sedimentation (${\alpha}_{DS}$). ${\alpha}_{DS}$ was found to be a function of several parameters particle size, particle size ratio, Hamaker constant, density of liquid and particle, gravity acceleration. Previous researches were limited to the case when there is no electric repulsion assuming that the suspension is destabilized. In this paper, ${\alpha}_{DS}$ is calculated for the stabilized condition. The relative trajectory of two particles are calculated including hydrodynamics, attraction and repulsion forces. Ionic strength and surface potential significantly affect the collision possibility of two settling particles. Depending on the surface potential and ionic strength, ${\alpha}_{DS}$ value is divided into three regions; stable, unstable and transition zone. ${\alpha}_{DS}$ increases as the ionic strength increases, and as the surface charge decreases. This result can be used to model both destabilized and stabilized suspension incorporating the collision efficiency factors of the other coagulant mechanisms such as fluid shear and Browian motion.

To estimate dispersion stability of particles, suspending power and particle size were examined as functions of pHs, surfactants, electrolytes and ionic strengths using ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particle as the model of particulate soil. Suspending power and particle size were determined by UV-Vis spectrumeter and by light scattering using the polarization ratio method, respectively. The suspending power was relatively high with polyanion electrolytes and was low with neutral salts. The suspending power was biphasis, minimum pH 6~7, and the effect of surfactant on the suspending power was insignificant. Generally suspending power increased with decreasing the particle size governed aggregation of dispersed particles regardless of solution conditions. Hence the suspending power was inversely related to the particle size.

Induction of micronuclei by diesel emission particle extract (DEPE) in mouse bone marrow cells was suppressed by pre-treatment with ascorbic acid, ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ or glutathione (GSH). These compounds were given orally to mice at the dose of 1, 10 or 100 mg/kg/day for 5 consecutive days. The dose of DEPE (200 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally once to mice with the 5th administration of test compounds. Ascorbic acid, ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and GSH all showed the dose-dependent suppression on DEPE-induced micronuclei.

The Finite Element Method has been employed to calculate the effect of particle size, matrix, and volume fractions on the stress-strain relations of .alpha.-.betha. titanium alloys. It was found that for a given volume fraction, the calculated stress-strain curve was higher for a finer particle size than for a coarse particle size within the range of the strains considered, and this behavior was seen for all the different volume fraction alloys considered. The calculated stress-strain curves for three vol. pct .alpha. alloys were compared with their corresponding experimental curve, and in general, good agreement was found.

We have investigated the influences of dangling bonds generated by alpha particle irradiation on friction and adhesion properties of graphene. Single layer of graphene grown with chemical vapor deposition on copper foil was irradiated by the alpha beam with the average energy of 3.04 MeV and the irradiation dosing between $1{\times}10^{14}$ and $1{\times}10^{15}$/$cm^3$. Raman spectroscopic showed that the ${\pi}$ electron states below Fermi level arises and the $I_D$/$I_G$ increases as increasing the dosing of alpha particle irradiation. The core level X-ray photoelectron (XPS) revealed that these defects represent the creation of various carbon-related defects and dangling bond. The nanoscale tribological properties were investigated with atomic force microscopy in ultrahigh vacuum. The friction appeared to increase remarkably as increasing the amount of dosing, indicating that the dangling bonds on graphene layers enhances the energy dissipations in friction. This trend can be explained by the additional channel of energy dissipation by dangling bond or O- and H- terminated clusters created by alpha particle irradiation.

This study investigates the effect of particle size on the detergency of particulate soil using an $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particle as the model. Monodispersed spherical $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particles were prepared by the hydrothermal aging of an acidic $FeCl_3$ and HCl solution. The $\xi$-potential of PET fiber was measured by the streaming potential method. The potential energy of interaction between the particle and fiber was calculated using the heterocoagulation theory for a sphere-plate model. The $\xi$-potential of PET fiber and potential energy of interaction between particles and fiber increased with a decreasing particle size in a DBS solution. However, in the nonionic surfactant solution, the $\xi$-potential signs of PET fiber and $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particles were (-) and (+), respectively; there was no repulsive power between the particles and substrate. The adhesion of particles to the fabric increased with increasing particle size in the anionic surfactant solution and their removal from the fabric increased with a decreasing particle size. The adhesion of particles to the fabric and their removal from the fabric was biphasic with a maximum and minimum at 0.1% concentration of the surfactant solution. In the nonionic surfactant solution the adhesion of particles to fabric and their removal from the fabric were greater than the ones in the anionic surfactant DBS solution.

Alpha alumina powder with fine particle size and narrow particle size distribution was prepared by precipitation method using Al2(SO4)3.18H2O as a starting material. The alpha alumina powder was prepared by calcining aluminum hydroxide which was formed under various pH values. The sinterabilityof alpha alumina powder and the effect of MgO on the sinterability of alpha alumina powder were investigated. The sinterability of alpha alumina powder was the order of pH=10≒pH11>pH=7≒pH9, and alpha alumina obtained from boehmite which was prepared by precipitation method reached to 97.5% of theoretcal density by the pressureless sintering. The effect of MgO on volume shrinkage of alumina was very slight in the initial sintering stage but remarkable in the final sintering stage. It was also found that MgO controlled effectively the grain growth of alumina.
