최근 세계적으로 대체 에너지는 중요한 이슈가 되고 있으며 그 중 열전 재료는 유망한 에너지 기술로서 주목 받고 있다. 특히 고 직접화 전자 소자의 발열 문제를 해결하기 위해, 소형화와 정밀 온도 제어가 가능한 박막형 열전 소자에 연구가 주목 받고 있다. 박막형 열전소자 중 산화물 반도체계에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 이러한 산화물 반도체계 중 In2O3는 BiTe, PbTe 등의 기존의 재료에 비해 독성이 낮을 뿐만 아니라 내 산화성 및 고온에서 열적 안정성이 우수하여 고온에서 적용 불가능한 금속계 열전 재료의 한계를 극복 할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 우수한 성능 가장 낮은 캐리어 밀도를 가지기 때문에 의 열전 재료는 높은 전기 전도도 및 제백 계수 그리고 낮은 열전도도 특성을 가져야만 한다. IZO:Sn(Zn 10 wt.%, Sn 800 ppm) 박막의 경우, 높은 전기 전도성을 가지면서 비정질 구조를 가진다. 이와 같이 비정질 구조를 가지는 박막 열전 재료는 격자에 의한 열 전도도가 낮기 때문에 결정질 구조에 비해 전체 열 전도도 값이 낮을 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 높은 전기 전도도를 가지면서 동시에 낮은 열 전도도를 가지게 되어 우수한 열전 특성을 가질 것이라 예상된다. 이러한 특성을 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 비정질 구조를 갖는 Zn와 미량의 Sn을 동시에 첨가한 In2O3박막의 전기적 특성및 열전 특성을 관찰하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 magnetron sputtering법으로 IZO:Sn(Zn 10 wt.%, Sn 800 ppm) 타깃을 이용하여 기판 가열없이 DC Power 70 W, 작업 압력 0.7 Pa으로 SiO2 기판 위에 $400{\pm}20nm$ 두께의 박막을 증착하였다. 이러한 공정으로 만들어진 박막은 대기 중 후 열처리를 각각의 200, 300, 400, 500, $600^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 진행하였다. 박막의 미세 구조는 XRD를 통해 관찰하였다. 그리고 박막의 전기적 특성은 Hall effect measurement을 통해 측정하였고, 열전 특성은 Seebeck 상수의 측정을 통하여 평가하였다. XRD 확인 결과 RT에서 증착한 박막과 후 열처리 200, 300, 400, $500^{\circ}C$ 결과 비정질 구조를 보였고, 후열처리 $600^{\circ}C$에서는 결정의 회절 피크를 보였다. 전기적 특성의 경우, 후 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 전기 전도도는 감소한다. 이는 공기중의 산소가 박막에 침투하여 oxygen vacancy를 막아 캐리어 밀도가 감소한것에 기인 된 것으로 판단된다. 열전 특성의 경우 제백상수는 후 열처리 $600^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 제백상수를 나타낸다. 제백 상수는 수식에 따라 캐리어 밀도의 -2/3승에 비례하게 된다. 수식에 따라 후 열처리 $600^{\circ}C$에서 가장 낮은 캐리어 밀도를 가지기 때문에 가장 높은 제백 상수를 가지게 된다. 열전 성능 척도인 Power factor는 제백 상수의 제곱과 전기전도도의 곱으로 나타내는데, 후 열처리 $200^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 Power factor를 보인다. 이는 캐리어 밀도 감소에 따라 전기 전도도는 감소하였지만 이로 인해 제백상수는 증가하였고, 또한 캐리어 밀도 감소에 따라 이온화 불순물 산란의 감소에 의해 이동도의 증가에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 박막의 경우 기판의 영향으로 인해 열 전도도 측정이 어려워 열전 성능 지수(ZT)를 계산을 할 수 없지만, 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 증착한 IZO:Sn 박막은 비정질 구조를 가지므로 격자진동에 의한 열 전도도가 낮아 전체 열 전도도가 결정질에 비해 낮을 것이며 이는 높은 열전 성능 지수를 가질 것으로 예상된다.

Recently, sound and mechanical vibration are becoming important problems in our life. In the present study, the measurement of vibration absorption characteristics of barium titanate ceramics and the investigation of its relationship to microstructures were carried out. The barium titanate ceramics is expected to be better vibration absorption material owing to its chemical and physical stability than other conventional vibration absorbers like glasswool board. Barium titanate ceramics were prepared by sintering fiberous $BaTiO_{3}$ crystallites in order to enhance the vibration absorption characteristics. The fiberous $BaTiO_{3}$ ceramics were prepared through the ionic exchange after the preparation of fiberous $K_2Ti_4O_9$ with 0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$, 1.2$\mu\textrm{m}$, 2.0$\mu\textrm{m}$, diameter length by KDC method. The fiberous crystallites were oriented in a plane perpendicular to the press direction and sintered. The investigation of the grain diameters of the sintered ceramics, equivalent factor, electromechanical coupling factor($k_1$), and the generated voltage(V) shows that the grain's diameter decreases with the increase of the diameter of the used fiberous crystallites. The vibration absorption increases the crystallites' diameter. That means that the vibration absorption increases with the internal friction of grain boundary. Which was identified by the investigation of the equivallent circuit.

Cu$_{0.1}$Fe$_{0.9}$Cr$_2$S$_4$ has been studied with Mossbauer spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and magnetoresistance (MR) measurement. The crystal structure was determined to be a cubic spinel with lattice parameter a$_{0}$=9.9880 $\AA$. The MR measurements show a semiconductor behavior below 110 K and metal behaved above 100 K. The temperature dependence of magnetization of Cu$_{0.1}$Fe$_{0.9}$Cr$_2$S$_4$ was reported. In addition to a large irreversibility between the zero-field-cooling (ZFC) and the field-cooling (FC) magnetization at applied field H=100 Oe, a cusp-like anomaly was observed in both the FC and ZFC curves. It shifted toward the lower temperature region with increasing magnetic field, and then showed convex type maximum at 110 K, under the applied field of 5 kOe. The Mossbauer spectra were measured from 15 K to room temperature. The asymmetric line broadening was observed for the sample Cu$_{0.1}$Fe$_{0.9}$Cr$_2$S$_4$, and it was considered to be dynamic Jahn-Teller relaxation. The charge state of Fe ions was ferrous in character. The unusual reduction of magnetic hyperfine field below 110 K was interpreted in terms of cancellation effect between the mutually opposite orbital current field (H$_{L}$) and Fermi contact field (H$_{C}$).

Synthesis of the non-swelling property micas was carried out by hydrothermal method. In order to artificially induce the diffusion of ions, a rotating system was attached to the hydrothermal apparatus and by adding 0.7 mm zircon beads, synthesis of the non-swelling property micas could be performed in a low temperature area. The hydrothermal conditions for the preparation of micas were a reaction temperature of $260^{\circ}C$, for 72 hrs, using $1K_2O,\;1Al(OH)_3,\;4Mg(OH)_2\;and\;6SiO_2$ as the starting materials and a 8M-KOH solution as the hydrothermal solvent. The micas obtained under these conditions were a plate shape with a size of $2.89{\mu}m$ and showed a whiteness of over 97 %. Also, through the FT-IR analysis, because the absorption peak of the $Mg_3OH$ vibration was observed at approximately $3700cm^{-1}$, it could be known that it was phlogopite of non-swelling property showing the chemical composition of $KMg_3AlSi_3O_{10}(OH)_2$. This result was very consistent with the EDS analysis where O (41.34 %), Mg (3.88 %), Al (11.45 %), Si (17.62 %) and K (25.71%) elements were detected.

Clay minerals are a major player to determine geochemical cycles of trace metals and carbon in the critical zone which covers the atmosphere down to groundwater aquifers. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can examine the Earth materials at an atomic level and, therefore, provide detailed fundamental-level insights related to physicochemical properties of clay minerals. In the current study, we have applied classical MD simulations with clayFF force field to dioctahedral clay minerals (i.e., gibbsite, kaolinite, and pyrophyllite) to analyze and compare structural parameters (lattice parameter, atomic pair distance) with experiments. We further calculated vibrational power spectra for the hydroxyls of the minerals by using the MD simulations results. The MD simulations predicted lattice parameters and interatomic distances respectively deviated less than 0.1~3.7% and 5% from the experimental results. The stretching vibrational wavenumber of the hydroxyl groups were calculated $200-300cm^{-1}$ higher than experiment. However, the trends in the frequencies among different surface hydroxyl groups of each mineral was consistent with experimental results. The angle formed by the surface hydroxyl group with the (001) plane and hydrogen bond distances of the surface hydroxyls were consistent with experimental result trends. The inner hydroxyls, however, showed results somewhat deviated from reported data in the literature. These results indicate that molecular dynamics simulations with clayFF can be a useful method in elucidating the roles of surface hydroxyl groups in the adsorption of metal ions to clay minerals.

In this study, the ultrasound which provides the properties of mixing, and surface cleaning effect, the increase of the effective reaction surface area and the enhancement of the effective collision frequency, was used to enhance the recovering efficiency of Cu from the Cu-ion containning waste water. The ultrasonic reactor used in this study was designed and constructed for improving the disadvantage of the existing ultrasonic reactor. From the experimental result and its analysis, we obtained following conclusions. 1. The ultrasound increased the rate of electrochemical deposition to 582.2% in maximum at the condition of $0.1M-CuSO_4$, and 2.1 V-overpotential. 2. The enhancement effect of ultrasound induced by the reduction of diffusion layer thickness was 277.8% in maximum and induced by the other effect except for the reduction effect of the diffusion layer thickness was 253.6% in maximum at $0.1M-CuSO_4$ and 2.1V overpotential. 3. This study gave the possibility of the scale-up of ultrasonic reactor and in particular, ultrasonic reactor would be effective in the treatment of waste water containning a low concentration of Cu ion.

$Ba_2Mg_{0.5}Co_{1.5}(Fe_{0.99}In_{0.01})_{12}O_{22}$ was prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method, and studied by x-ray diffractometer, vibrating sample magnetometer, and Mossbauer spectrometer. The crystal structure was determined to be a single-phased rhombohedral with space group R-3m. Magnetization value were $M_s$ = 28.6 emu/g at 295 K. The hysteresis loops indicate that all the samples are ferrimagnetic behaviors. Mossbauer spectra of $Ba_2Mg_{0.5}Co_{1.5}(Fe_{0.99}In_{0.01})_{12}O_{22}$ have been 6-sextet taken at various temperatures ranging from 4.2 to 620 K. Based on the isomer shift (${\delta}$) values of all samples, the charge states were found to be $Fe^{3+}$ state at all temperatures, the Curie temperature was determined to be 630 K by the ZVC curve.

The crystallographic and magnetic properties of $Fe_{0.9}Zn_{0.1}Cr_2S_4$ have been studied by X-ray diffractometer(XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) and $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy measurement. The crystal structure was determined by the normal cubic spinel of space group Fd3m and the lattice constant was $a_0=9.9967\;{\AA}$. The specific phenomenon which looks like cusp pattern at 77 K was observed in magnetization corves(ZFC : Zero Field Cooling) under 100 Oe applied field. $N\acute{e}el$ temperature($T_N$) was determined to be 153 K by VSM and $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectra. The asymmetric 8-line profile has been observed at 4.2 K, which was attributed by the colossal electric quadupole interaction(${\Delta}E_Q$), ${\Delta}E_Q$ has 2.22 mm/s at 4.2 K. The ${\Delta}E_Q$ abruptly decreases around 77 K and then it disappears above 77 K with diminishing of 8-line pattern. The isomer shift $\delta$ at room temperature is 0.48 mm/s relative to Fe metal, which means that the charge state of Fe ions is ferrous in character.

The dielectric properties of complex perovskite ($Pb_{1-x}Ca_{x}$)($Fe_{0.5}Ta_{0.5}$)$O_{3}$ with >($0.5{\le}x{\ge}0.65$ were investigated at microwave frequencies. Dilectric constant decreased with increasing Ca content, and was directly proportional to the cube of average ionic ra야 of A-site. For the specimen of x=0.6 sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 3 h in air, dielectric constant (k) of 63, QF of 11000 GHz, and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(TCF) of -14ppm/$^{\circ}C$ were obtained. As Ca content increased, TCF of the specimen negatively increased due to the reduction of the tolerance factor(t). Changes in intrinsic loss with varying Ca content was investigated by the infrared reflectivity spectra ranging 50 to 4000 $cm^{-1}$, which were calculated by the Kramers-Kronig analysis and classical oscillator model. The relative tendency of microwave dielectric properties of the ($Pb_{1-x}Ca_{x}$)($Fe_{0.5}Ta_{0.5}$)$O_{3}$ specimens calculated from the reflectivity data were in good agreement with the results by the post resonant method.
