The sol-gel technique has been studied to fabricate a homogeneous Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst. Ambient effects (air, Ar, and $H_2$) on thermal decomposition of the citrate precursor have been systematically investigated to fabricate an Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst. Severe agglomeration of metal catalyst was observed under thermal decomposition of citrate precursor in air atmosphere. Ar/$H_2$ atmosphere effectively restricted agglomeration of bimetallic catalyst and formation of highly-dispersed Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst with high specific surface-area due to the formation of Fe-Mo nanoclusters within MgO support. High-quality thin-multiwalled carbon nanotubes (t-MWCNTs) with uniform diameters were achieved on a large scale by catalytic decomposition of methane over Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst prepared under Ar-atmosphere. The produced t-MWCNTs had outer diameters in the range of 4-8 nm (average diameter ~6.6 nm) and wall numbers in the range of 4-7 graphenes. The as-synthesized t-MWCNTs showed product yields over 450% relative to the utilized Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst, and indicated a purity of about 85%.

The authors describe an analytical method to determine total chlorine in a sanitizer liquid, incorporating a lab-made He-rf-plasma within a PDMS polymer microchip. Helium was used instead of Ar to produce a plasma to achieve efficient Cl excitation. A quartz tube 1 mm i.d. was embedded in the central channel of the polymer microchip to protect it from damage. Rotational temperature of the He-microchip plasma was in the range 1350-3600 K, as estimated from the spectrum of the OH radical. Chlorine was generated in a volatilization reaction vessel containing potassium permanganate in combination of sulfuric acid and then introduced into the polymer microchip plasma (PMP). Atomic emission lines of Cl at 438.2 nm and 837.7 nm were used for analysis; no emission was observed for Ar plasma. The achieved limit of detection was 0.81 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ (rf powers of 30-70 W), which was sensitive enough to analyze sanitizers that typically contained 100-200 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ of free chlorine in chlorinated water. This study demonstrates the usefulness of the devised PMP system in the food sciences and related industries.

TiN films were deposited onto high speed steel (SKH9) by plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) using a TiCl4/N2/H2/Ar gas mixture at around 50$0^{\circ}C$. The effects of the deposition temperature, R.F. power and TiCl4 concentration on the deposition of TiN and the microhardness of TiN film were investigated. The crystallinity and the microhardness of TiN films were improved with increase of the deposition temperature. Optimum deposition temperature in this study was 50$0^{\circ}C$, because a softening or phase transformation of the substrate occurred over 50$0^{\circ}C$. A large increase of the film growth rate with a strong(200) preferred orientation was obtained by increasing R.F. power. Much chlorine content of about 10at.% was found in the deposited films and resulted in relatively low average microhardness of about 1, 500Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$ compared with the theoretical value(~2, 000Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$).

Titanium nitride (TiN) coatings were produced on AISI 420 stainless steel by DC magnetron sputtering of a Ti target changing the processing variables, such as the flow rate of $N_2/Ar$, substrate temperature and the existence of Ti interlayer between TiN coatings and substrates. The hardness and residual stress in the films were investigated using nanoindentation and a laser scanning device, respectively. The stoichiometry and surface morphology were investigated using X-Ray Diffraction and SEM. The corrosion property of the films was also studied using a polarization method in NaCl (0.9%) solution. Mechanical properties including hardness and residual stress were related to the ratio of $N_2/Ar$ flow rate. The corrosion resistance also was related to the processing variables.

본 연구에서는 ICP-DRC/MS를 이용하여 비소(arsenic) 분석의 주요 방해물질인 $^{40}Ar^{35}Cl^+$과 $^{40}Ca^{35}Cl^+$에 의한 간섭의 영향 없이 극미량의 비소를 간편하고 신속하게 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 즉, 반응기체로 산소($O_2$)를 dynamic reaction cell에 도입하여 플라즈마 기체 내부에서 생성된 비소이온($As^+$)과 반응시켜 $AsO^+$를 생성시킨 후 m/z=91을 검출함으로써 기존의 m/z=75($As^+$) 검출방법에 비해 우수한 재현성과 검출한계를 얻을 수 있었다. 반응기체($O_2$)의 양은 0.5 mL/min 일 때 최적조건으로 나타났으며, 검출한계는 $0.02{\mu}g/L$, 정확도(RSD)는 3.4%, 회수율은 96%로 나타났다. 이 분석방법으로 서울시 한강 팔당 본류 유입 지류천에서 채취된 시료 중의 비소를 분석한 결과, $0.53{\sim}1.26{\mu}g/L$의 농도로 나타났으며 우수한 재현성을 나타냈다. 또한 이 방법은 다량의 염소(Cl)나 칼슘(Ca)을 함유한 해수, 식품, 하수 및 폐수 중의 비소 분석에도 유용하게 적용될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

We investigated the high dispersion spectra that had been secured at the center of the planetary nebula NGC 7027 with the Bohyunsan Optical Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) on October, 20, 2009. We analyzed the forbidden lines of [OI], [SII], [OII], [NII], [ClIII], [ArIII], [OIII], [ArIV], [NeIII], [ArV], and [CaV] in the $3770-9225{\AA}$ wavelength region. The expansion velocities were derived from double Gaussian line profiles of the emission lines, after eliminating the subsidiary line broadening effects. The radial variations of the expansion velocities were obtained by projecting the derived expansion velocities: $19.56-31.93kms^{-1}$ onto the equatorial shell elements of the inner and the outer boundaries of the main shell of 2.5(2.1)" and 3.8(3.6)", according to the ionization potential of each ion. Analysis of equatorial shell spectra indicated that the equatorial shell generally expands in an accelerated velocity mode, but the expansion pattern deviates from a linear velocity growth with radial distance. NGC 7027, of which age is about 1000 years or less, might be still at its early stage. During the first few hundred years, plausibly in its early stage, the main shell of PN expands very slowly and, later, it gradually gain its normal expansion speed.

Ti has received considerable attention for aerospace, vehicle, and semiconductor industry applications because of its acid-resistant nature, low density, and high mechanical strength. A common precursor used for preparing Ti materials is $TiCl_4$. To prepare high-purity $TiCl_4$, a process based on the removal of $VOCl_3$ has been widely applied. However, $VOCl_3$ removal by distillation and condensation is difficult because of the similar physical properties of $TiCl_4$ and $VOCl_3$. To circumvent this problem, in this study, we have developed a process for $VOCl_3$ removal using Cu powder and mineral oil as purifying agents. The effects of reaction time and temperature, and ratio of purifying agents on the $VOCl_3$ removal efficiency are investigated by chemical and structural measurements. Clear $TiCl_4$ is obtained after the removal of $VOCl_3$. Notably, complete removal of $VOCl_3$ is achieved with 2.0 wt% of mineral oil. Moreover, the refined $TiCl_4$ is used as a precursor for the synthesis of Ti powder. Ti powder is fabricated by a thermal reduction process at $1,100^{\circ}C$ using an $H_2-Ar$ gas mixture. The average size of the Ti powder particles is in the range of $1-3{\mu}m$.

Tungsten oxide($WO_3$) thin films were prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering in an $Ar/O_2$ atmosphere from a compressed powder $WO_3$ target and their electrochromic(EC) phenomena were investigated. PEO-$LiClO_4$-PC polymer electrolyte can easely be formed into thin films and showed high transmittance. Such electrolyte have electrochromic properties suitable for large-scale electrochromic devices. For the devices using $WO_3$ thin films of 1500, 2500, $4000{\AA}$ thickness with glass/ITO/$WO_3$/PEO-$LiClO_4$-PC/ITO/glass structure, an optical modulation of $50{\sim}60%$ were obtained at a potential range of $1{\sim}2V$. It has shown that transmittance and reflectance of light could be electrically controlled by low applied voltage.
