The single crystals of $Mg_{0.15}Zn_{0.85}Te$ and $Mg_{0.15}Zn_{0.85}Te:Co^{2+}$(0.001%) were grown by vertical Bridgman method. Optical absorption properties of this compound were studied. As a result of the optical absorption spectra of $Mg_{0.15}Zn_{0.85}Te$, absorption peaks were related to exciton and the exciton level redshifts with increasing temperature, and temperature coefficient given to the value of $-5.8{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K$ for the temperature range above 100 K. in the $Mg_{0.15}Zn_{0.85}Te:Co^{2+}$(0.001%) single crystal, the intracenter transitions due to $Co^{2+}$ ions were detected for $A-band:^4A_2(^4F) {\to}^4T_1(^4F),\; B-band:\; ^4A_2(^4F){\to}^4T_1(^4P)$, and the charge transfer transition near the absorption edge was observed in the wavelength range of 500 to 800 nm. According to the crystal field theory and Lucovsky formula, the crystal field parameter, Racah parameter and charge transfer energy were determined.

Pressure assisted forward osmosis (PAFO) is recently introduced because of its improved process efficiency to overcome drawbacks of forward osmosis (FO) such as low water flux and reverse solute diffusion. However, it is known that membrane fouling becomes deteriorated by additional hydraulic pressure applied in PAFO compared to FO. This study was performed to investigate possibility of intermittent pressure-assisted forward osmosis (I-PAFO) operation for fouling mitigation using colloidal silica particles as model foulants. FO, PAFO were operated as well to compare with. Two different solution pH conditions (pH 3, 10) were applied to see the effect of electrostatic interactions between the membrane and silica particles on fouling tendency. In the results, higher water flux was observed during pressurization and pressure relaxation periods in I-PAFO than water flux of PAFO, and FO on both pH conditions. Water flux decreased less in I-PAFO than PAFO after fouling. It resulted in higher water flux recovery in I-PAFO than PAFO after physical cleaning.

The stochiometric composition of $AgGaS_2$polycrystal source materials for the single crystal thin films were prepared from horizontal furnace. From the extrapolation method of X-ray diffraction patterns, it was found that the polycrystal $AgGaS_2$has tetragonal structure of which lattice constant $a_0\;and \;c_0$ were 5.756 $\AA$ and 10.305 $\AA$, respectively. $AgGaS_2$single crystal thin film was deposited on throughly etched GaAs(100) substrate from mixed crystal $AgGaS_2$by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were $590^{\circ}C$ and $440^{\circ}C$ respectively, and the growth rate of the single crystal thin films was about 0.5 $mu \textrm{m}$/h. The crystallinity of the grown single crystal thin films was investigated by the DCRC (double crystal X-ray diffraction rocking curve). The optical energy gaps were found to be 2.61 eV for $AgGaS_2$single crystal thin films at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the photocurrent peak energy is well explained by the Varshni equation, then the constants in the Varshni equation are given by${\Alpha};=;8.695{\times}10^{-4};eV/K,and;{\beta};=;332;K$. from the photocurrent spectra by illumination of polarized light of the $AgGaS_2$single crystal thin film, we have found that crystal field splitting $\Delta$Cr was 0.28 eV at 20 K. From the PL spectra at 20 K, the peaks corresponding to free and bound excitons and a broad emission band due to D-A pairs are identified. The binding energy of the free excitons are determined to be 0.2676 eV and 0.2430 eV and the dissociation energy of the bound excitons to be 0.4695 eV.

Co-(0.8 wt%) and Ce-(0.4 wt%) doped cubic zirconia ($ZrO_2$ : $Y_2O_3$ = 80 : 20, 70 : 30, 60 : 40, 50 : 50 wt%) single crystals grown by a skull melting method were heat-treated in $N_2$ at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 5 hrs. The orange, yellowish brown and brown colored as-grown single crystals were changed into either brownish red, yellow and green color after the heat treatment. Before and after the heat treatment, the YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia) single crystals were cut for wafer form (${\phi}6.5mm{\times}t2mm$). The optical and structural properties were examined by UV-VIS spectrophotometer and X-ray diffraction. Absorption by $Ce^{3+}(^2F_{5/2,7/2}(4f){\rightarrow}^2T_g(5d^1))$, $Co^{2+}(^4A_2(^4F){\rightarrow}^4T_1(^4F)$ or $^4T_1(^4P))$ and $Co^{3+}$, change of ionization energy and lattice parameter were confirmed.

In this study, Material life cycle evaluation was performed to analyze the environmental impact characteristics of TiN-Zr membrane manufacturing process. The software of MLCA was Gabi. Through this, environmental impact assessment was performed for each process. Transition metal nitrides have been researched extensively because of their properties. Among these, TiN has the most attention. TiN is a ceramic materials which possess the good combination of physical and chemical properties, such as high melting point, high hardness, and relatively low specific gravity, high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. With these properties, TiN plays an important role in functional materials for application in separation hydrogen from fossil fuel. Precursor TiN was synthesized by sol-gel method and zirconium was coated by ball mill method. The metallurgical, physical and thermodynamic characteristics of the membranes were analyzed by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermo Gravimetry/Differential Thermal Analysis (TG/DTA), Brunauer, Emmett, Teller (BET) and Gas Chromatograph System (GP). As a result of characterization and normalization, environmental impacts were 94% in MAETP (Marine Aquatic Ecotoxicity), 2% FAETP (Freshwater Aquatic Ecotoxicity), 2% HTP (Human Toxicity Potential). TiN fabrication process appears to have a direct or indirect impact on the human body. It is believed that the greatest impact that HTP can have on human is the carcinogenic properties. This shows that electricity use has a great influence on ecosystem impact. TiN-Zr was analyzed in Eco-Indicator '99 (EI99) and CML 2001 methodology.

In this study, in order to recycle a large amount of rocks and weathered mudstones produced by civil engineering projects such as railways and highways, as materials for roadbeds or embankment materials, circumferential specimens with a diameter of 5 cm and a height of 10 cm were made. A mudstone that weathered rapidly during rainfall was collected from Pohang construction sites. The weathered mudstone passed through a 2 mm sieve. It was prepared with the cement ratio, the sand ratio, curing condition and curing days. Three specimens were prepared according to each condition and then the unconfined compressive test, durability test and SEM analysis were performed to evaluate the engineering properties of the cemented soil. In the case of 28 days cured specimen, the strength of under-water cured specimens was 32-55% and the durability index was about 15% higher than air cured specimens. In addition, when the CR increased from 8% to 16%, the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of pure mudstone cemented soil under water increased by about 1.6 times and the durability index increased by about 1.9 times. When the SR increased from 0% to 50%, the UCS of the specimen with SR = 10% was slightly less than or equal to specimen with SR = 0%. Then, as the SR became 30-50%, the UCS increased up to 51%. Unlike the UCS, the durability index increased continuously as the SR increased. As a result of SEM analysis, when SR was 50% rather than SR = 0%, the contact between sand particles increased and they were connected to each other. Such contact between these particles resulted in the increase of strength.

국가의 논의 타작물 재배 권장 정책과 농한기 수익을 위해서 동절기에도 농사가 가능한 시설농업이 발달했으며, 1990년 초부터 재배면적이 증가하여 2000년에는 10만 ha를 넘어섰고, 2018년에는 80만ha의 규모를 보이고 있다(농사로, 2019). 시설농업단지의 동절기 난방을 위한 에너지원으로 화석연료와 전기열원을 사용하고 있고, 특히 강변의 경우 지하수를 난방 열원으로 사용가능해 수막재배를 이용한 대규모 시설단지가 발달함에 따라 지하수의 이용량이 증가하고, 2015년 농업용 지하수 이용량은 연간 20억 톤에 이른다(GIMS, 2019). 난방이 필요한 동절기에 수막용수를 위한 지하수 이용량이 급증하여 계절적인 수위변화를 보이며, 특히 강변의 대규모 시설농업단지의 지하수의 부족현상이 빈번히 발생하는 실정이다(송성호, 2017). 본 연구지역은 낙동강 하구댐 설치 전만조 시 해수의 유입으로 암반지하수의 심도가 증가할수록 EC가 증가하는 특성을 보이는 곳으로, 지하수의 이용량이 급증하는 동절기에 특히 급격히 증가하여 지하수의 안정적인 수질관리를 위해 염분변화의 관리가 필요한 지역이다. 지하수의 계절적인 변화를 위해 시설농업단지내에 지하수 관측정이 설치되어 관측되고 있으며 본 연구에서는 관측정의 2013년 1월~2019년 1월까지 지하수의 EC변화를 관측하였다. 지하수의 수위(GL.m), 온도, EC를 1시간 주기로 관측하여 계적적인 변화를 분석하였고, EC의 증가가 큰 곳은 심도별로 센서(다중심도)를 설치하여 염도의 변화를 관측하였다. 지하수성분의 지질학적 기원분석을 위한 양음이온 분석을 연 1회 실시하였다. 또한 관측정의 심도별 변화를 알기 위해 동일지역에 충적, 암반 관측정을 따로 설치하고 관측하여 지표수와 지하수의 심도별 영향의 차이를 분석하였다. 동일지역의 관측결과 평균 5m이하의 수위변화를 보이나, 5m 이상의 수위변동을 보이는 관측망은 15년 14개소 17년 19개소로 증가추세를 보이며, 이는 주로 밀집된 시설하우스 단지의 수막재배를 위한 겨울철 지하수 사용량 증가가 원인인 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구지역은 강변지역에 밀집된 시설하우스단지의 동절기 수막재배를 위한 지하수 과다 사용으로 수위급감 및 수량부족현상이 반복되고 있어, 예방과 대책강구를 위해 지표수의 함양과 지하수사용량의 상관관계 분석과 자료축적 및 추가연구를 위한 장기관측이 요구된다.

The purpose of this study is to find applicabilities of human bioclimatic maps, using human thermal sensation(comfort) in summer, with microclimatic in situ data and computer simulation results at the study site of downtown Daegu. This includes the central business district(CBD) area and two urban parks, the Debt Redemption Movement Memorial Park and the 2.28 Park, for urban and landscape planning and design. Climatic data and urban setting information for the analysis of human thermal sensation were obtained from in situ measurement and the geographic information system data. As a result, the CBD had higher air temperature than the parks when the wind speed was low. Relative humidities were opposite to the air temperature. Especially, same directional streets with local wind direction had lower air temperature than streets perpendicular to the wind direction. The most important climatic variable of human thermal sensation in summer was direct beam solar radiation. Also, creating shadow areas would be the most relevant method for modifying hot thermal environments in urban areas. The most effective method of creating shadow patterns was making a tree shadow over a pergola, and the second best one was making a tree shadow on the front of north directional building walls. Moreover, how to plant trees for creating shadow patterns was important as well as what kind of trees should be planted. The results of human thermal sensation were warm to very hot at sunny areas and neutral to warm at shaded ones. At the sunny areas, wide, squared shape areas had a little bit higher thermal sensation than those of narrow streets. The albedo change of building walls 0.15 and ground surface 0.1 could change 1/6 of a sensation level at the shaded areas and 1/3 at the sunny ones. These microclimatic approaches will be useful to find appropriate methods for modifying thermal environments in urban areas.

The stochiometric $AgGaSe_2$ polycrystalline mixture of evaporating materials for the $AgGaSe_2$ single crystal thin film was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $AgGaSe_2$ mixed crystal and semi-insulating GaAs(100) wafer were used as source material and substrate for the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system, respectively. The source and substrate temperature were fixed at$ 630^{\circ}C$ and $420^{\circ}C$, respectively. The thickness of grown single crystal thin films is 2.1$\mu\textrm{m}$. The single crystal thin films were investigated by photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD) measurement. The carrier density and mobility of AgGaSe$_2$ single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $4.89\Times10^{17}$ cm$^{-3}$ , 129cm2/V.s at 293K, respectively. From the Photocurrent spectrum by illumination of perpendicular light on the c-axis of the AgGaSe$_2$ single crystal thin film, we have found that the values of spin orbit splitting $$\Delta$S_{o}$ and the crystal field splitting $\Delta$C$_{r}$, were 0.1762eV and 0.2474eV at 10K, respectively. From the photoluminescence measurement of AgGaSe$_2$ single crystal thin film, we observed free excision (EX) observable only in high quality crystal and neutral bound exciton ($D^{o}$ , X) having very strong peak intensity. And, the full width at half maximum and binding energy of neutral donor bound excition were 8mev and 14.1meV, respectively. By Haynes rule, an activation energy of impurity was 141 meV.ion energy of impurity was 141 meV.
