InGaAsP epitaxial layers lattice matched to InP were grown at 600 and $620^{\circ}C$ by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Solid phase composition of group III was controlled by the diffusion flux gas phase to the reachion surface. For the case of group V, the difference of As and P vapor pressure and pyrolysis efficiency of $PH_3$and $AsH_3$ mainly determined their in corporation into solid. An abnormal behavior of peak energy shift was observed below 75K in temperature variant photoluminescence study. This abnormal behavior was explained by the difference in order of ordering which makes spatial variation of energy gap in InGaAsP layer and this explanation was supported by the analyses of transmission electron microscopy and transmission spectroscopy.

The improved thermal stability and anti-oxidation properties of Lyocell fiber were studied based on flame retardant treatment by using NaCl/$H_3PO_4$ solution. The optimized conditions of flame retardant treatment were studied on various maxing ratio of NaCl and $H_3PO_4$ and the mechanism was proposed through experimental results of thermal stability anti-oxidation. The IPDT (integral procedural decomposition temperature), LOI (limited oxygen index) and $E_a$ (activation energy) increased 23, 30 and 24% respectively via flame retardant treatment. It is noted that thermal stability and anti-oxidation improved based on char and carbon layer formation by dehydrogenation and dissociation of C-C bond resulting the hindrance of oxygen and heat energy into polymer resin. The optimized conditions for efficient flame retardant property of Lyocell fiber were provided using NaCl/$H_3PO_4$ solution and the mechanism was also studied based on experimental results such as IDT (initial decomposition temperature), IPDT, LOI and $E_a$.

The improved thermal stability and anti-oxidation properties of lyocell fiber were studied based on flame retardant treatment by using $Na_3PO_4$ solution. The optimized conditions of flame retardant treatment were studied on various concentrations of $Na_3PO_4$ and the mechanism was proposed through experimental results of thermal stability and anti-oxidation. The integral procedural decomposition temperature (IPDT), limiting oxygen index (LOI) and activation energy ($E_a$) increased 30, 160% respectively via flame retardant treatment. It is noted that thermal stability and anti-oxidation improved based on char and carbon layer formation by dehydrogenation and dissociation of C-C bond resulting the hindrance of oxygen and heat energy into polymer resin.

With the effectuation of Kyoto Protocol on the United Nations Framework Convention on the Climate Change, the emission reduction of greenhouse gases became an urgent issue and has been competitively secured among countries as the form of certificates through clean development mechanism (CDM) or joint implementation (JI). Nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) is one of the major greenhouse gases along with carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and methane ($CH_4$) having warming potential 310 times that of carbon dioxide and chemically very stable in the atmosphere to give a life time of more than 120 years so that it reaches to the stratosphere to act as an ozone depleting substance. $N_2O$ hardly decomposes and thus, besides to the adoption of thermal decomposition at high temperature, selective catalytic reduction methods are usually used at temperatures over $400^{\circ}C$ in which the presence of NOx acts as a major impeding material in the decomposition process. In this article, the sources of various $N_2O$ generation, catalytic reduction processes and the status and trends of emission trade with CDM projects for greenhouse gas reduction are summarized and discussed on a condensed basis.

Nitrous oxide is a global warming substance and is known as the main cause of the destruction of the ozone layer because its global warming effect is 310 times stronger than carbon dioxide, and it takes 120 years to decompose. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the characteristics of NOx emission from N2O reduction by thermal decomposition of N2O. Bunsen premixed flames were adopted as a heat source to form a high-temperature flow field, and the experimental variables were nozzle exit velocity, co-axial velocity, and N2O dilution rate. NO production rates increased with increasing N2O dilution rates, regardless of nozzle exit velocities and co-axial flow rates. For N2O, large quantities were emitted from a stable premixed flame with suppressed combustion instability (Kelvin Helmholtz instability) because the thermal decomposition time is not sufficient with the relatively short residence time of N2O near the flame surface. Thus, to improve the reduction efficiency of N2O, it is considered effective to increase the residence time of N2O by selecting the nozzle exit velocities, where K-H instability is generated and formed a flow structure of toroidal vortex near the flame surface.

The fabrication of a three-layered asymmetric ceramic membrane was performed by slip casting of the porous alumina support and dip coating of the alumina intermediate layer using high purity ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ powders that have different particle size, followed by screen printing-pyrolysis of the $Tio_2$ layer as an ultrafilteration membrane using Ti-naphthenate solution. The bending strength, porosity and mean pore size of the alumina support were 231 kg/$cm^2$s, 30.26% and 0.19 ${mu}m$, respectively. The thickness of the intermediate layer was 30 ${mu}m$ and the mean pore size of that was 0.063 ${mu}m$. Also, the top layer was 0.5 ${mu}m$ thick and micropores with about 20 nm size were formed uniformly.

The mechanism fur the surface film formation was studied by in situ Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) observation of a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) basal plane surface during cyclic voltammetry at a slow scan-rate of 0.5 mV $s^{-1}$ in 1 moi $dm^{-3}$ (M) $LiPF_6$ dissolved in a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC). Decomposition of the electrolyte solution began at a potential around 2.15 V vs. $Li^+$/Li on step edges. In the potential range 0.95-0.8 V vs. $Li^+$/Li, flat areas (hill-like structures) and large swelling appeared on the surface. It is considered that these two features were formed by the intercalation of solvated lithium ions and their decomposition beneath the surface, respectively. At potentials more negative than 0.80 V vs. $Li^+$/Li, particle-like precipitates appeared on the basal plane surface. After the first cycle, the thickness of the precipitate layer was 30 nm. The precipitates were considered to be decomposition of the lithium salt ($LiPF_6$) and solvent molecules (EC and DEC), and to have an important role in suppressing further solvent decomposition on the basal plane.

Novel a-Si solar cells with delta-doped(${\delta}x$-doped) P-layer have been fabricated to enhance the hole concentration of the P-layers. The ${\delta}-$doped P-layer consists of very thin B sheets of 0.1-0.5 atomic layers and undoped a-SiC multi-layers. B-layers were prepared by photo-CVD and pyrolysis technique. The structural, optical and electrical characteristics of the delta-doped P-layer films were evaluated by means of FTIR, AES and SIMS. As the results of this study, it was found that the ${\delta}$-doped P-layer showed much superior optical and electrical characteristics than those of conventional uniformly B-doped a-Si layers. 12.5% energy conversion efficiency was achieved for the Cell with ${\delta}$-doped P-layer.

The properties of pyrolytic carbon (PyC) deposited from $C_2H_2$ and a mixture of $C_2H_2/C_3H_6$ on $ZrO_2$ particles in a fluidized bed reactor were studied by adjusting the deposition temperature, reactant concentration, and the total gas flow rate. The effect of the deposition parameters on the properties of PyC was investigated by analyzing the microstructure and density change. The density could be varied from $1.0\;g/cm^3$ to $2.2\;g/cm^3$ by controlling the deposition parameters. The density decreased and the deposition rate increased as the deposition temperature and reactant concentration increased. The PyC density was largely dependent on the deposition rate irrespective of the type of the reactant gas used.

We focus on a catalytic process based on direct injection method that can produce high-quality oils of gasoline and kerosene with various carbon-number feed oils. The reaction characteristics of a commercial catalyst were analyzed using a spouted bed reactor. Decane and pentadecane were used to compare the characteristics of the fixed bed and the spouted bed reactor. The yield of gasoline plus kerosene was highest at the reaction temperature of $550^{\circ}C$. For the spouted bed reactor, the at-a-pulse injection was more effective for catalytic cracking of feed oils than multiple consecutive injections. The reaction activity became higher as the carbon number of feed oil is larger.
