$^{13}C$ NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) measurements have been performed to investigate the local electronic structure of a superconducting graphite intercalation compound $CaC_6$ ($T_c$ = 11.4 K). A large number of single crystals were stacked and sealed in a quartz tube for naturally abundant $^{13}C$ NMR. The spectrum, Knight shift, linewidth, and spin-lattice relaxation time $T_1$ were measured in the normal state as a function of temperature down to 80 K at 8.0 T perpendicular to the c-axis. The $^{13}C$ NMR spectrum shows a single narrow peak with a very small Knight shift. The Knight shift and the linewidth of the $^{13}C$ NMR are temperature-independent around, respectively, +0.012% and 1.2 kHz. The spin-lattice relaxation rate, $1/T_1$, is proportional to temperature confirming a Korringa behavior as for non-magnetic metals. The Korringa product is measured to be $T_1T\;=\;210\;s{\cdot}K$. From this value, the Korringa ratio is deduced to be $\xi$ = 0.73, close to unity, which suggests that the independent-electron description works well for $CaC_6$, without complications arising from correlation and many-body effects.

The pulsed field magnetization of the short-circuited soldered double pancake coil made of stabilized commercial high-Tc superconductor (HTS) tape is experimentally studied. The evolution of the shielding current induced by the pulsed field and the trapped field after the pulsed magnetization was measured at 77 K. It is shown that the trapped field in the coil is close to the value reached in the field cooling process and reduces weakly at 5-fold increasing of pulsed field amplitude. The current relaxation at t~2 ms after the pulse is defined by the current sharing between the tape's copper coating and the $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-d}$ layer. In the intermediate time scale (1 s < t < 100 s) the flux creep in HTS layer dominates. At t > 100 s the current's relaxation is defined by the resistance of soldered joint between tapes.

The mapping of the spin-spin relaxation time T2 in pixed-by-pixel was suggested as a quantitative diagnostic tool in medicine. Although the CPMG pulse sequence has been known to be the best pulse sequence for T2 measurement in physics NMR, the supplied pulse sequence by the manufacture of MRI system was able to obtain the maximum of 4 CPMG images. Eight or more images with different echo time TEs are required to construct a reliable T2 map, so that two or more acquisitions were required, which easily took more than 10 minutes. 4-echo CPMG imaging pulse sequence was modified to generate the maximum of 8 MR images with evenly spaced echo time TEs. In human MR imaging, since patients tend to move at least several pixels between the different acquisitions, 8-echo CPMG imaging sequence reduces the acquisition time and may remove any misregistration of each pixel's signal for the fitting T2. The resultant T2 maps using the theoretically simulated images and using the MR images of the human brain suggested that 8 echo CPMG sequence with short echo spacing such as 17∼20 msec can give the reliable T2 map.

목적 본 연구는 gadoxetic acid 조영증강 간 자기공명영상에서 T1 이완시간이 만성간질환을 가진 환자에서 간섬유화의 발견과 병기설정에 유용한지 알아보고자 한다. 대상과 방법 국소간병변이 의심되는 103명 환자들이 간 자기공명영상과 Fibroscan을 시행하였다. Fibroscan은 간섬유화의 정도를 분류하는 참조표준검사로 사용되었다. T1 이완시간은 조영제 주입 전(preT1)과 주입 20분 후(postT1), 그리고 이들 간의 T1 이완시간 감소율(rrT1)을 3 테슬라 자기공명영상의 횡단 3D VIBE 시퀀스 하에 측정하였다. Receiver operating characteristic (이하 ROC) 분석을 통해 간섬유화 병기설정을 위한 최적의 cut-off 값이 결정되었다. 결과 METAVIR score (F0-F4)에 따른 간섬유화 병기가 증가함에 따라, preT1과 postT1은 증가하였고, rrT1은 감소하였다. PreT1의 F2와 F3 사이(F2, 836.0 ± 74.7 ms; F3, 888.6 ± 77.5 ms, p < 0.05), postT1의 F3와 F4 사이(F3, 309.0 ± 80.2 ms; F4, 406.6 ± 147.7 ms, p < 0.05), 그리고 rrT1의 F3와 F4사이(F3, 65.4 ± 7.7%; F4 57.3 ± 11.4%, p < 0.05)에서 통계적 유의미한 차이를 보였다. ROC 분석은 preT1과 postT1의 병용검사가 간섬유화 병기설정에 있어 가장 유용한 검사라는 것을 보여준다. 결론 preT1과 postT1은 간섬유화 병기가 증가함에 따라 증가하며, T1 mapping이 gadoxetic acid 조영증강 간 자기공명영상에서 간섬유화 병기설정에 있어 유용한 보조적 시퀀스로 사용될 수 있다.

In this study, the TSC spectroscopy has been applied to investigate the influence of structural change due to a process of curing reaction on the electrical properties of epoxy composites cured with acid-anhydride. Five TSC peaks appeared in -160-250[.deg.C]: in the low temperature region below glass transition temperature(T$\_$g/), three relaxation mode peaks due to action of side chains, substitution group or terminal groups have been observed, a peak associated with T$\_$g/, appeared in 110[.deg. C] and p peak due to ionic space charges located in 150[.deg.C]. Each peak was separated into elementary peaks by the partial polarization procedure, and the distribution of activation energy and relaxation time were analized to clearify the origin of each peak. Also, overaboundantly added hardener separated a .betha. peak near 10[.deg. C] into two peaks of .betha.$\_$1/(10.deg. C) and .betha.$\_$2/(20.deg. C) according to increasement of forming field, and the separated hardener was oxidated thermally with increasing surrounding temperatures. The expansion of the free volume need in molecular motion and the reduction of the structural packing density through thermal oxidation process increased TSC between .alpha. peak and .betha. peak and decreased T$\_$g/.

본 논문에서는 인지질 단분자인 DMPC 유기초박막에 압력 자극을 이용하여 표면압과 변위전류의 검출에 따른 유전 완화현상에 대한 물리적 특성 평가를 하였다. 유기초박막에서 약간의 유전 완화 시간이 소요되었는데 이는 분자 영역에 의존한다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 유기박막의 누적 조건에 의해 제작된 MIM 소자에 전압을 인가시, LB막의 누적층수가 증가 할수록 저항이 증가한다는 것을 알 수 있었는데 이는 유기초박막의 층수가 증가하여 전극간의 거리가 멀어질수록 더 높은 전계에서도 파괴되지 않는 절연특성이 나타남을 알 수 있었으며 나노단위의 유기초박막의 비교적 양호한 절연성을 확인, 제시 하였다.

The thermodynamic properties and structural geometry of $KMgCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O$ were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and nuclear magnetic resonance. The initial mass loss occurs around 351 K ($=T_d$), which is interpreted as the onset of partial thermal decomposition. Phase transition temperatures were found at 435 K ($=T_{C1}$) and 481 K ($=T_{C2}$). The temperature dependences of the spin-lattice relaxation time $T_1$ for the $^1H$ nucleus changes abruptly near $T_{C1}$. These changes are associated with changes in the geometry of the arrangement of octahedral water molecules.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the internal physical properties of fresh Korean ginsengs (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) through a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique. Current external visual inspection cannot determine internal quality of ginsengs successfully. Relaxation time constants, T$_1$ and T$_2$*, were obtained from a series of MR images. Calculated Ti values were varied with different physiological states of ginseng tissues. Internal imaging information was obtained nondestructively from fresh ginsengs. One- and two-dimensional image analyses were performed. One-dimensional image analysis showed a potential of age identification of ginsengs rapidly. Internal quality of normal and abnormal ginsengs was evaluated using two-dimensional MR images. Various types of internal defects such as internal cavity and rotten spot were visualized clearly. The MRI technique had a feasibility to detect internal defects of fresh ginsengs effectively.
