Ni-Cr-X ternary interlayers were investigated to improve the adhesion of Cu/Ni-Cr/Polyimide flexible copper clad laminates. The ternary compounds are sputtered Ni-Cr-X films (where X is one of Nb, V, Mo, or Ti), and the effect of third elements on the adhesion was evaluated and investigated chemically and mechanically. The feel strength was higher in the order of Ni-Cr-Nb > Ni-Cr-V > Ni-Cr > Ni-Cr-Mo > Ni-Cr-Ti. Nb, which has a comparable standard electrode potential to Cr, increased the adhesion, while Ti, with a low standard electrode potential, degraded the adhesion. The Ni-Cr-Nb interlayer was amorphous, while Ni-Cr-Ti was partially crystalline. The similar morphology structure of the Ni-Cr-Nb interlayer with polyimide resulted in a better adhesion.

The effects of Cr2O3 content on the properties of direct-bonded MgO-Cr2O3 bricks were investigated in the range of 10 to 30 wt% of Cr2O3. Modulus of rupture of bricks was excellent in about 20 wt% of Cr2O3 content. The corrosion resistance of bricks was improved by increasing Cr2O3 content and was directly pro-portional to the amount of secondary spinels. On the other hand, the spalling resistance of bricks depended on the amount of flux rather than Cr2O3 content.

Cr의 함량과 주입 가스의 유량 비율을 변화하여 ZnCrO 박막의 구조적 특성에 미치는 영향과 그것이 자기적 특성에 관여하는 상관관계 등에 관하여 조사하였다. ZnCrO 박막을 Pt/Ti/Al2O3 기판 위에 Sputter법으로 증착하였으며, 이 때 양질의 ZnCrO 박막을 제작하기 위하여 산소 분압 변화에 따른 박막의 표면 및 구조적 특성을 관찰하였다. 아르곤과 산소 분압이 1 : 1 (Ar : O2=15 sccm : 15 sccm) 이었을 경우, 가장 매끄러운 표면을 갖고 또한 구조적으로도 안정된 ZnCrO 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 동일한 조건에서 Cr 함량을 변화시켜 본 결과, Cr 함량이 작아질수록 자기적 특성이 향상되는 것이 관측되었다. 즉, Cr의 함량이 감소할수록 Cr 입자 1개 당 유효 자화도가 증가하는 것이 관측되었는데, 이러한 결과는 Cr 함량 변화에 따는 ZnCrO 박막의 결정 자기이방성 변화에 따른 것이다.

Toxic hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), was reduced to a less toxic trivalent chromium form by E. coli ATCC 33456. The suitable electron donor for Cr(VI) reduction was glucose. E. coli ATCC 33456 was more resistant to metal cations than other reported Cr(VI) reducing microorganisms. Cell growth was inhibited by the presence of Cr(VI) in a liquid medium and Cr(VI) reduction accompanied cell growth. With a hydraulic retention time of 20 h, Cr(VI) reducing efficiency was 100% to 84% when Cr(VI) concentration in the influent was in the range of 10 to 40 mg L$\^$-1/. Specific rate of Cr(VI) reduction was 2.41 mg Cr(VI) g DCW$\^$-1/ h$\^$-1/ when 40 mg L$\^$-1/ of Cr(VI) influent was used. This result suggested the potential application of E. coli ATCC 33456 for the detoxification of Cr(VI) in Cr(VI) contaminated wastewater.

광촉매능을 갖는 $TiO_2$는 국내외적으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 빛의 조사로 발생하는 다양한 물리 화학적 촉매특성이 환경정화뿐만 아니라 및 에너지 흡수차단 기능도 갖고 있어 최근 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 친수성을 가지는 친환경 창호소재용 및 초친수성을 가지는 자동차의 사이드미러 개발을 위해 유리표면에 이종밴드갭을 갖는 복합구조 $TiO_2/Cr_2O_3/Cr$ 박막을 스퍼터링법으로 증착하여 중간층인 $Cr_2O_3$의 역할을 고찰하였다. Cr, 결정질 $Cr_2O_3$ 기판의 경우 Anatase상과 Rutile상이 공존하는 미세조직이 관찰 되었으며 비정질 $Cr_2O_3$ 기판의 경우는 균일한 결정질 anatase-$TiO_2$상이 나타났다.

The effects of Al micro-bumps on the magnetic properties of CoCr(Pt)Ta/Cr films deposited on glass substrates were investigated. The coercivity increased and the coercivity squareness decreased by incorporating Cr/Al underlayers. The cause of the coercivity increase is attributed to the reduction of Co(0002) texture, the increase of magnetic isolation of CoCr(Pt)/Ta grains, and the refinement of CoCr(Pt)/Ta grains deposited on Cr/Al underlayers. The effects of an Al overlayer on the magnetic properties of CoCr(Pt)Ta/Cr films were also studied. The decrease of coercivity squareness is ascribed to the magnetic isolation of CoCr(Pt)Ta grains.

The effect of chemical constituents of $(Cr,\;Fe)_7C_3$ carbide phase on its hardness in the chromium-carbide type Cr white iron hardfacing weld deposits has been investigated. In order to examine $(Cr,\;Fe)_7C_3$ carbide phase, a series of filler metals with varying chromium contents was used. The alloys were deposited once or twice on a mild steel plate using the self?shielding flux cored arc welding process. The hardness of $(Cr,\;Fe)_7C_3$ carbide phase was measured by the micro-Vickers hardness test. It was shown that hardness of $(Cr,\;Fe)_7C_3$ carbide phase increased with increasing Cr content in $(Cr,\;Fe)_7C_3$ carbide phase. This behavior of the hardness of $(Cr,\;Fe)_7C_3$ carbide phase was explained by the types of chemical bonds that hold atoms together in $(Cr,\;Fe)_7C_3$ carbide phase.

In this study, the effect of addition of Ti and Co elements on microstructural evolution and characteristics of vacuum-casted Cu-25%Cr electrical contact material was investigated. The coarse and insoluble Cr phases with an average size of 300 ㎛ in commercial Cu-25%Cr alloy were reduced to tens of micrometers in vacuum casted Cu-25%Cr-X(X=Ti, Co) alloy, which can be interpreted as result controlling coarsening and the work-frame structure of the insoluble Cr phase by the formation of intermetallic compounds such as Cr₂Ti or Cr_0.5Co_1.5Ti around the Cr phase As a result, the electrical properties such as weight loss and fusion resistance against the repeated arc generation of the electrical contact material as well as the mechanical properties were greatly improved.

The oxidation behaviors of Y-Cr bilayer deposited on ferritic steel by magnetron-sputtering for application of the Fe-Cr alloys as interconnectors of planar-type solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) were studied. After oxidation at $800^{\circ}C$ for 40 hours, the major phase of $Y_2$$O_3$and the minor phase of $YCrO_3$, $Mn_{1.5}$ $Cr_{1.5}$ $O_4$and Cr$_2$SiO$_4$were formed in the Y/Cr bilayered samples, while the major phase of Cr$_2$O$_3$and the minor phase of $Y_2$$O_3$were formed as the major phase in the Cr/Y bilayered samples. The Log(ASR/T) that expresses electric resistance of the Y/Cr coated specimen with nonconducting $_Y2$$O_3$oxide showed high value of -2.80 Ω$\textrm{cm}^2$$K^{-1}$ / and that of the Cr/Y coated specimen with conducting $Cr_2$$O_3$oxide appeared to be -4.11 Ω$\textrm{cm}^2$$^{K}$ . The electric resistance of the Y/Cr coated specimen was largely increased due to the formation of high resistance oxide scales. However, the Cr/Y coated specimen did not show any increase in the electric resistance and had the long-term stability of oxidation because there was no formation of the secondary phases with low conductivity.

The reaction of cis-[Cr([14]-decane)(OH$_2)_2]^+$ ([14]-decane = rac-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-teraazacyclotetradecane) with auxiliary ligands {$L_a$ = citrate(cit)} leads to a new dimeric complex cis-[{Cr([14]-decane)($\mu$-cit)}$_2](ClO_4)_2$. This binuclear complex has been structurally characterized by a combination of elemental analysis, conductivity, IR and Vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. Analysis of the crystal structure of cis-[{Cr([14]-decane)($\mu$-cit)})($_2]^+$ reveals that each chromium has a distorted octahedral coordination environment and citrato ligands are monodentate to the two chromium atoms via the carboxyl groups. For dimeric complex the bridging geometry is as follows: Cr$\ldots$Cr = 7.361 $\AA$; Cr-O(average) = 1.958 (8) $\AA$; Cr-N range = 2.108 (9)-2.147(9) $\AA$; N(1)-Cr-N(3) (equatorial position) = 98.0(4)$^{\circ}$; N(2)-Cr-N(4) (axial position) = 166.4(4)$^{\circ}$; O(1)-Cr-N(2) = 98.1(4)$^{\circ}$; O(3)-Cr-N(4) = 96.6(3)$^{\circ}$; O(1)-Cr-O(3) = 90.4$^{\circ}$. The FAB mass spectrum of the dimeric complex displays peak due to the molecular ions cis-[{Cr([14]-decane)($\mu$-cit)})($_2]^+$ at m/z 1053.
