In this study, spherical monodispersed cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG : $Ce^{3+}$) phosphor particles were synthesized via homogeneous precipitation method using the mixed solution of yttrium nitrate, cerium nitrate, aluminum nitrate, ammonium aluminum sulfate, and urea as a precipitant. During the process of precursors of monodispersed YAG : $Ce^{3+}$, aluminum ions which form spherical aluminum compounds precipitated first and yttrium compounds precipitated onto the surface of the existing spherical aluminum compounds. Drying process using lyophilization could obtain monodispered spherical YAG : $Ce^{3+}$ particles compare to using oven. The thermal calcination process of YAG : $Ce^{3+}$ precursors under the temperature of $1200^{\circ}C$ for 6 h was enough to obtain 400~500 nm sized YAG particles with pure YAG phase.

Polystyrene (PS)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposites were prepared via latex technology and the effect of nanotube length on rheological properties were investigated. Monodisperse PS particle was synthesized by the emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization and two types of MWCNTs were used after surface modification to improve dispersion state and to remove impurities. Final nanocomposites were prepared by the freeze-drying process after dispersing the PS particles and the surface-modified MWCNTs in a ultrasonic bath. The effects of MWCNT content and nanotube length on rheological properties were evaluated by imposing the small-amplitude oscillatory shear flow. The PS/MWCNT nanocomposites showed that rheological properties were enhanced as the amount and length of MWCNT increased. It is speculated that the rheological characteristics of nanocomposites change from liquid-like to solid-like as the MWCNT amount increases, and the critical concentration to achieve network structure decreases as the nanotube length increases.

Since the particles are highly charged in process plasmas, the dynamics of the particles are concerned principally with the effect of the charging amount and polarity. In order to investigate the charging effect of the particles in the plasmas, the known sizes of the mono-dispersed particles with 0.05$\mu\textrm{m}$, 0.07$\mu\textrm{m}$, 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$and 0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ diameter are introduced into the DC air-plasmas. The characteristics of the charged particles are measured with a Faraday cup. Results show that the particle charging polarity depends on the concentrations and sizes of the particles and the condition of plasma generation, operating pressure, and power. It is also found that the number of charges per a particle is in the ranges of $10^3$~$ 10^5$.

Polystyrene latex spheres (PLS) were prepared as artificial dusts by the emulsion polymerization with potassium persulfate (KPS) and sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) as an initiator and a stabilizer, respectively. The reaction temperature and the concentration of the initiator and stabilizer were chosen as variables to control the PLS particle size. As temperature increased, the particle size decreased considerably. Furthermore, the PLS particle size and their size distributions can be controlled minutely by adjusting the concentrations of KPS and SDS. It is confirmed that the PLS prepared in this work is monodispersed with the coefficient of variance less than 7% and are in the range of 0.1~0.5 ${\mu}m$, which are good for using as artificial dusts.

Understanding of charging properties of a small particle is necessary to control the particle contamination and to improve productivity of the electronic device in the plasma aided semiconductor manufacturing processes. In this study, the effects of both magnetic field and particle size on the charging properties are experimentally investigated in collisional dusty plasmas. The experiments carried out in the system consisted of a monodisperse particle generation system, a DC magnetized plasma generation system and a charge measurement system. The plasma chamber is made of cross-shape Pyrex surrounded by magnetic bucket (composed of 12 permanent magnetic bar) to confine the plasma. DC magnetic field up to 250G are applied to the plasma zone by external magnetic coil. Previous work shows the charging effect clearly increase with increasing the size of the particle and plasma density, as it was expected.

일반적으로 폴리우레탄계 마이크로캡슐은 양말단에 과량의 NCO기를 가지는 폴리우레탄 프리폴리머의 중합에 의한 것으로서, 이어서 수용액상에서 쇄연장제의 첨가에 의해 계면에서 완전한 폴리우레탄막을 중합하는 방법을 취하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 프리폴리머법에 의한 마이크로캡슐의 형성은 여러 가지 제조상의 문제점을 지니고 있다. Vanzo 등이 10$\mu\textrm{m}$이하의 작은 입자를 얻기 위해서는 비교적 고농도의 분산제와 높은 교반속도를 사용할 필요가 있었으며, 또한 그 입자크기분포의 제어가 어려웠다. (중략)

양성자 기반 공학 기술 개발 사업단은 20MeV 양성자 가속기를 운전 중이며, 진공, 빔 계측, 전원 등의 장치에 대한 제어 시스템을 개발 운영 중이다. 대형 입자 가속기를 위한 제어 시스템의 전체 네트워크는 사용자 인터페이스와 제어계가 단일 네트워크를 공유하고 있으며 EPICS(Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) CA(Channel Access)통신을 이용하여 데이터를 상호 교환한다. 그러나 단일 네트워크를 사용함으로서 관리자만이 제어해야 할 데이터는 많은 클라이언트에게 노출되는 문제점이 있다. 그러므로 클라이언트의 접근을 제어하여 제어계로부터 전달되는 신호들의 안정성과 보안성을 유지할 수 있는 방법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 제어시스템에 보안성과 안정성을 유지하기 위하여 클라이언트를 Control Network, 제어계를 Machine Network로 분산시키고 통신 중계기 역할을 하는 CA Gateway를 적용하여 클라이언트에게 접근 권한을 주는 기법을 제시하고 구현 및 그 결과를 보고한다.

Mono-dispersed polyamide 6(Nylon 6) micro-particles sized in $4{\sim}5\;{\mu}m$ diameter were prepared by dispersion polymerization of ${\varepsilon}-caprolactam$ in liquid paraffin as a dispersion medium. Potassium metal(K) as a catalyst was separately added twice over the anionic ring-opening polymerization of ${\varepsilon}-caprolactam$. The size, shape, and size-distribution of prepared particles were varied with the concentration of anti-coagulant as well as the amount of initiator and catalyst. As the initiator concentration was in the range of $0.97{\sim}1.17\;wt%$ in monomer, about 90.6% of yield was accomplished. In addition, the highest yield of well-spherically shaped micro-particles was achieved by adding about $1.3{\sim}1.4\;wt%$ of catalyst.

단일벽 탄소나노튜브(SWNTs)는 직경 및 키랄(chiral)특성에 따라 반도체성 튜브와 금속성 튜브로 구분되며, 작은 직경의 SWNTs는 큰 직경의 튜브에 비하여 일반적으로 기계적 특성이 뛰어나다고 알려져 있다. 따라서, 합성하는 단계에서 SWNTs의 직경 및 chiral 특성의 제어가 가능 하게 된다면 전자소자로의 응용을 한층 앞당길 수 있을 것으로 예상하고 있다. 이와 더불어 SWNTs의 수평배향성장은 SWNTs의 집적(integration)을 용이하게 할 수 있기 때문에 향후 나노전자소자 개발을 목표로 최근 많은 연구결과들이 보고되고 있다. 하지만 현재는 SWNTs가 고밀도로 합성되기 때문에, 우수한 개별 (individual) SWNT의 전기적 특성보다는 집단적(ensemble) 특성을 얻고 있다. 따라서, 합성기판 위에서 개별적인 SWNT를 낮은 밀도로 수평배향 성장하는 일은 향후 나노튜브기반의 고성능 전자소자 개발에 중요한 과제이다. 나아가, 수평배향 성장 된 개별 SWNT의 직경 및 키랄 특성까지 함께 제어할 수 있다면 곧바로 응용에 적용할 수 있는 획기적인 기술이 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는, SWNTs의 수평배향도 및 직경을 제어하여 성장시키는 것을 목표로 하였다. 합성기판은 퀄츠를 이용하였고, 합성촉매로는 나노입자의 밀도를 비교적 쉽게 제어할 수 있고, 균일한 크기를 갖는 페리틴 단백질을 이용하였다. 단분산(monodispersion) 된 촉매 나노입자를 얻기 위해서 스핀코팅 조건과 페리틴 용액농도를 조절하여 퀄츠기판 위에 분산시킨 후, 아르곤 분위기 하에 열처리를 통하여 촉매 나노입자의 크기 감소를 유도하였다. 그 결과 열처리 시간이 증가함에 따라 촉매 나노입자의 크기가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었고, SWNTs의 직경 또한 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 퀄츠기판 위에 직경제어 합성 된 수평배향 SWNTs를 다른 기판으로 전사하는 기술을 확립함으로써, 향후 SWNTs기반의 소자 제작기술의 바탕을 마련하였다.

Monodispersed $ZnGa_2O_4$ microspheres were synthesized by a facile two-step process consisting of a solvothermal method and calcination process. The prepared monodispersed $ZnGa_2O_4$ microspheres were aggregated into 3D microstructures by self-assembly with a large number of small $ZnGa_2O_4$ particles generated in nucleation. This nucleation and self-assembly making hierarchical microstructures were depended on the concentration of PEG (polyethylene glycol) due to CAC (critical aggregation concentration) theory. And also we controlled the amount of zinc acetate to make pure $ZnGa_2O_4$ phase. Additionally, to fix the optimized calcination condition, sample was characterized by TG-DTA to prove the thermal property in the calcination process and by FT-IR to identify the changes of functional group bonding between each element of the $ZnGa_2O_4$ precursor and oxide calcined at $900^{\circ}C$ for 1 h.
