Hydrogen-permselective silica membranes were synthesized within tim walls of porous Vycor tubes by chemical vapor depostion of $SiO_2$. Film deposition was carried out using $SiCl_4$ hydrolysis either in the oppm shag reactants or in the one-sided geometry. At temperatures above $600^{\circ}C$ the permeation rate of hydrogen thorough the silica films varied between 0.01 and $025cm^3(STP)/cm^2-min-atm$ depending on the reaction geometry and the $H_2 : N_2$ permeation ratio was about 1000. Permeation rates of both $H_2$ and $N_2$ increased with increasing temperature. The silica membranes produced by one-sided deposition have higher hydrogen permmeation rates than those produced by the opposing reactants geometry although the membranes formed in an opposing reactants geometry were relatively stable during the heat treatment or after exposure to ambient air. These membranes can be applied to high temperature gas separations or membrane reactors once the film deposition process is optimized to get high permeability as well as good stability.

CuCl nanocrystallites dispersed nonlinear optical silica and borosilicate glasses were fabricated by sol-gel process. CuCl powder was dissolved in TEOS(Si(OC2H5)4) and TMB((CH3O)3B), precursors of silica and borosilicate glasses, with ethanol, water and HCl, and precipitated through the heat treatment in the matrix glass. The optical properties of CuCl doped glasses were measured using the spectrophotometer at room temperature and low temperature(77K); Z1, 2 and Z3 exciton peaks from the absorption spectra, were observed at about 370 nm and 380 nm, respectively. The average radius of nanocrystallites, calculated from the blue shift of Z3 excitons, was measured according to annealing temperature and time. The precipitation temperature of CuCl nanocrystallites was decreased when boron was added to silica glass. Increase of annealing temperature and time made average radius of nanocrystallites saturated about 2 nm.

SiCl$_4$/CH$_4$/H$_2$계를 사용한 플라즈마 화학증착법(PECVD)으로 실리콘(100) 기판 위에 3C-SiC막을 117$0^{\circ}C$~1335$^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 증착하였다. 증착온도, 유입가스비, R$_{x}$ [=CH$_4$/(CH$_4$+H$_2$)], 그리고 r.f. power를 변화시켜 증착막의 결정성에 대해 검토하였다. Thermal CVD에 비해 PECVD법은 박막의 증착속도를 향상시켰다. 증착된 3C-SiC은 (111) 면으로 최대의 우선배향성을 지님을 알 수 있었다. 실리콘 기판 위의 3C-SiC막의 결정성은 R$_{x}$값에 의존하였으며, R$_{x}$가 감소할수록 결정성이 더욱 향상되었다. Free Si가 3C-SiC막과 함께 증착되었으나, 증착온도와 r.f power가 증가함에 따라 free Si의 함량은 감소하였다. 증착온도 127$0^{\circ}C$, 유입가스비 R$_{x}$=0.04, r.f. power가 60W에서 비교적 결정성을 가진 3C-SiC막을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this study, europium doped strontium silicate ($Sr_2SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$) phosphor has been synthesized by conventional solid-state method and investigated luminescent characteristic. $SrCO_3$ and $SiO_2$ were mixed together by 2:1 mole ratio. Also $NH_4Cl$ was added as a flux. The mixture were sintered at $800^{\circ}C$, $1000^{\circ}C$ for 3h under the atmosphere (5% $H_2$/95% $N_2$). This phosphor can be applicated to the yellow phosphor for white LED because it has yellow emission band (540nm), which emits efficiently under the 370nm excitaion energy.

The variation of the reaction pressure and reaction product during the reaction was investigated according to the total mass of the reaction mixture at the optimum composition for the preparation of u-Si3N4 powder which had been confirmed in the former investigation; 'Preparation of $\alpha$-Si$_3$N$_4$ powder in reaction system containing molten salt by SHS - part 1. synthesizing of powder'. When the total mass of the reaction mixture was 100g, the minimum pressure for a complete reaction was 60atm in 5L reactor, whereas the reaction was incomplete in the case that the mass exceeded 200g because of pressure increase. Also, as the mass of the reaction mixture increased, the reactivity linearly decreased. Hence, the complete reaction was realized by decreasing an initial $N_2$ pressure, and thus obtained minimum initial pressure was recorded 20 atm for the initial mixture of 500g. The reason of the incomplete reaction with pressure Increase was found to be that NH$_4$Cl vapour which was suppressed by the gas pressure acted as a diluent.

In this study, the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of carbon nanomaterials and synthesized nano-carbon/Si composites were studied. The nano-carbon/Si composites were ball-milled to a nano size and coated with pyrolytic carbon using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). They were then finely mixed with respective nano-carbon materials. The physicochemical properties of samples were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and surface area analyzer. The electrochemical characteristics were investigated using the galvanostatic charge-discharge and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. Three-electrode cells were fabricated using the carbon nanomaterials and nano-carbon/Si composites as anode materials and LiPF₆ and LiClO₄ as electrolytes of Li secondary batteries. Reversibility using LiClO₄ as an electrolyte was superior to that of LiPF₆ as the electrolyte. The initial discharge capacities of nano-carbon/Si composites were increased compared to the initial discharge capacities of nano-carbon materials.

The stability constants of 1,15-diaza-3,4:12,13-dibenzo-5,8,11-trioxacycloheptadecane (NenOdien H$_4$, L) with transition metal ions such as $Co^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;and\;Zn^{2+}$ have been determined by potentiometry in 95% methanol solution at 25$^{\circ}$C. The complex formation of the NenOdien $_4$ with the transition metal ions depends on the basicity of the donor atoms. The order of complex stability was Co(II) < Ni(II) < Cu(II) > Zn(II). The geometries of the complexes in solid state were discussed by visible-near infrared and infrared spectrophotometry, elemental analysis and electro-conductivity. The results suggest that the geometries of the solid complexes are octahedral for $[CoL_2(OH_2)Cl]Cl{\cdot}2H_2O$, $[NiL_2(OH_2)Cl]Cl{\cdot}2H_2O$, and $[ZnLCl_2]{\cdot}\frac{1}{2}H_2O$ and square pyramidal for [CuLCl]Cl, respectively.

Silicon dioxide thin films were deposited on p-type Si (100) substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) method using alternating exposures of $SiH_2$$Cl_2$ and $O_3$ at $300^{\circ}C$. $O_3$ was generated by corona discharge inside the delivery line of $O_2$. The oxide film was deposited mainly from $O_3$ not from $O_2$, because the deposited film was not observed without corona discharge under the same process conditions. The growth rate of the deposited films increased linearly with increasing the exposures of $SiH_2$$Cl_2$ and $O_3$ simultaneously, and was saturated at approximately 0.35 nm/cycle with the reactant exposures over $3.6 ${\times}$ 10^{9}$ /L. At a fixed $SiH_2$$Cl_2$ exposure of $1.2 ${\times}$ 10^{9}$L, growth rate increased with $O_3$ exposure and was saturated at approximately 0.28 nm/cycle with $O_3$ exposures over$ 2.4 ${\times}$ 10^{9}$ L. The composition of the deposited film also varied with the exposure of $O_3$. The [O]/[Si] ratio gradually increased up to 2 with increasing the exposure of $O_3$. Finally, the characteristics of ALD films were compared with those of the silicon oxide films deposited by conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods. The silicon oxide film prepared by ALD at $300^{\circ}C$ showed better stoichiometry and wet etch rate than those of the silicon oxide films deposited by low-pressure CVD (LPCVD) and atmospheric-pressure CVD (APCVD) at the deposition temperatures ranging from 400 to $800^{\circ}C$.

An attempt was made in the Veeranam freshwater lake with the objectives to collect, identify, describe and document the algae occurring from March 2007 to August 2007. Qualitative and quantitative characterization of phytoplankton and analysis of physico-chemical parameters of water samples were carried out at monthly intervals during the study period in the western and eastern sides of the lake. It was found that the phytoplankton community embraced 68 genera belonging to four classes viz., Bacillariophyceae (40), Chlorophyceae (22), Cynophyceae (4) and Euglenophyceae (2). There were significant influences of various physico-chemical parameters on the phytoplankton population density. Commonly occurred genera, Oscillatoria (Cyanophyceae), Navicula (Bacillariophyceae) and Scenedesmus (Chlorophyceae), were subjected to energy dispersive spectroscopic analysis (EDS). They were found to accumulate different elements such as Zn, P, S, Ca, Mg, Fe, N, Si, Cl and Mn. Among these the member Cyanophyceae contained Zn, P, Mg, Ca, Mn, S and N. Bacillariophyceae Si, Zn, Mg, Cl, N, Fe, and Ca. Chlorophyceae Ca, Mg, N, Fe, Cl, Zn, Si and Mn. Thus these observations would determine the chemical dialogue between the cell structures and role of the elements. Further, it gives the clue about the phytoplankton growth requirements.
