To improve the photochemical energy conversion efficiency and the stability of CdS particulate film electrode which is used to produce hydrogen from the aqueous $H_2S$ solution photoelectrochemically, surface treatment of this film was carried out using $TiCl_4$ solution. CdS particles for preparation of the films were synthesized by precipitation reaction of $Cd({NO_3})_2{\cdot}9H_2O$ and $Na_2S{\cdot}4H_2O$. Then, the CdS sol was hydrothermally treated for 12hr in an autoclave with the variation of treatment temperature to control the crystalline phase of particles. CdS film electrode was thus prepared by annealing at $400^{\circ}C$ for 12hr of the wet-film cast at room temperature, and subsequently surface treated with $TiCl_4$ solution. The electrodes were characterized using XRD, SEM, and the photocurrent meter. The photocurrents of Cds film electrodes prepared with surface treatment were up to two times higher than the electrodes without surface treatment, indicating about $4.0mA/cm^2$. Hydrogen production rate in a continuous flow system using photoelectrochemical or photochemical cells prepared with surface treatment also increased in proportion to the increase of photocurrents.

The paper presents the development of separating system from the slash with solid and liquid. The materials of filter are used rice chaffs, which are widely found in the agricultural village. The performance of separator is experimentally shown through new developed measurement apparatus. The flow rates of the system are evaluated by changing the inlet pressure of slash, thickness of filter and size of particle concentration of rice chaffs. In this work the optimal design parameters can be obtained for the separator for solid and liquid. And in the results rice chaffs filter improve the performance of separator solid and liquid.

Nanoparticles are used in various fields such as chemistry, medicine, the environment, and information and communication. With the increasing use of engineered nanomaterials, exposure to nanoparticles is expected to increase in the workplace and the environmental media. However, while nanotechnology industries are expanding, research on the exposure assessment of nanomaterials to humans and the environment is only at a beginning stage. Especially, if nanoparticles with a size of 100 nm or less that are contained in nano-products are released unintentionally, they may pose potential risks to the human body through breathing or skin exposure. Therefore, in this work, the possibility of potential exposure of nanoparticles moving from the laboratory to the office was confirmed, and nanoparticle safety guidelines are proposed. A nano-collector was used to detect nanoparticles in the atmosphere, and through use of a scanning mobility particle sizer it was found that nanoparticle concentrations in the laboratory and the office tended to be similar. On the assumption that nanoparticles attached to a lab-coat move out of the laboratory, a lab-coat to which nanocarbon black was attached was shaken and the concentration of the remaining particles on the lab-coat determined. The results confirmed that sufficient amounts of nanoparticles attached to the lab-coat could move from the laboratory to the office along the path of a researcher; thus, safety guidelines for the handling of lab-coat nanoparticles are required.

The purpose of this research is particle shape evaluation of granular soil and aggregate using Digital Image Process(DIP). DIP is very useful to measure the roughness and particle shape of aggregates. Couple of aggregates, like standard sand, two different crushed stones, and two different marine aggregates, have been employed. Shape factor of two different marine aggregates is ranged 0.35 to 0.54. Crushed stone I is that of 0.74 which is highly flat, but standard sand is elongated shape. Especially, two marine aggregate showed a big difference of width and length which meaned a long shape. There is any significant difference of elongation ratio and flakiness for each aggregate with different measuring system, like direct measurement of vernier calipers and DIP method. Within the limited test results, DIP is one of useful to get the particle shape of aggregate with limitation of measuring errors and to apply the particle distribution curve.

A prediction of SEE rates for a candidate microprocessor is made based on the ground experiment results with a proton accelerator. Populations of charged particles in space are estimated with numerical models such as AP8, JPL91 and CREME. The cross section curves that are previously obtained with the accelerator are then employed for SEE prediction. Both the high and low inclinations are considered for low-earth orbits with nominal altitudes of about 685km. The results show that the occurrence rate of SEEs for the candidate device is acceptable for low-inclinations, but can be considerable under worst conditions for high inclinations.

Several neutron measuring devices were tested under the neutron fields characterized with two distinct kinds of thermal and fast neutron spectrum. These neutron fields were constructed by the mixing of both thermal neutron fields and fast neutron fields. The thermal neutron field was constructed using by a graphite pile with eight AmBe neutron sources. The fast neutron field of 14 MeV was made by a DT neutron generator. In order to change the fraction of fast neutron fluence rate in each neutron fields, a neutron generator was placed in the thermal neutron field at 50 cm and 150 cm from the reference position. The polyethylene neutron collimator was used to make moderated 14 MeV neutron field. These neutron spectra were measured by using a Bonner sphere system with an LiI scintillator, and dosimetric quantities delivered to neutron surveymeters were determined from these measurement results.

We proposed a novel method to remove PM2.5 dusts without HEPA filters aiming at applications in kitchens or enclosed work spaces generating PM2.5 at high concentrations. Many workers are exposed to PM2.5 owing to lack of air purification because the high replacement costs of HEPA filters make their application impractical. A key idea is to use the condensational growth of nanoparticles. Once particles grow to the size of a few micrometers, it is much easier to remove them because of their increased inertia. We developed and tested a prototype consisting of an air saturator (equipped with water spray nozzles), a condenser in which humid air was cooled down to make the particles grow, and a multi-impactor assembly for collecting the grown particles.

Conditioning은 CMP(Chemical Mechanical Planarization)에 필수적인 공정중의 하나이다. Conditioning의 목적은 removal rate와 uniformity를 CMP 공정 중에서 일정하게 유지시키는데 목적이 있다. 예전의 conditioning disks는 stainless steel substrate 위에 diamond 입자를 올리고 Ni전기도금을 결합시켜서 사용하였다. 그러나, CMP 공정 중에 Ni의분해로 인한 금속의 오염과 diamond abrasive의 분리로 인하여 scratch 문제가 발생하였다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 ceramic substrate와 그것을 정밀 가공하는 기술을 응용함으로써 본래의 conditioning disks가 가지고 있는 diamond 입자의 분리와 metals 분해의 문제를 해결할 수 있게 되었다.

An alternative estimator for dose equivalent was derived. The original LET distribution concept was transformed into a charged particle fluence spectrum concept along with the definition of an average quality factor named slowing-down averaged quality factor by adopting the continuous slowing down approximation. With the alternative estimator, the dose equivalent delivered into a receptor located in a given radiation field can be directly and conveniently estimated in a Monte Carlo procedure. The slowing-down averaged quality factors for the energy range below 10 MeV were evaluated and tabulated for the charged particles which may be generated from the interactions of neutron with the nuclei composing soft tissue.

본 발명은 승화성 고체 미립자 제트를 이용한 분사로 표면의 오염물을 제거하는 공정이다. 이는 극저온에서 고화된 입자가 표면에 고속 충돌 후 오염물을 제거하고 자신은 승화되어 잔사를 남기지 않는 청정 세척 공정을 말하는데 반도체 장비, 정밀 제품, 인쇄회로 기판 등의 다양한 표면의 각종 오염막 제거에 널리 사용될 수 있다. 본 장치의 특징은 세정 매체인 $CO_2$와 Carrier gas인 $N_2$를 사용하였고 현재 특허에 출원되어 있는 단순한 액체$CO_2$를 이용한 세정범위를 넘어 다양한 세정매체 즉, 복합인자($CO_2$ + ice, Ar + ice)를 이용하여 세정효율의 다변화를 이루었고 자체 개발한 냉동기를 이용하여 고화율이 액체 $CO_2$보다 상대적으로 낮은 기체 $CO_2$의 고화율을 증대 시킴으로써, 세정매체의 소모시간이 현격히 감소되어 원가절감 효과를 증대 시켰다. 세정대상물을 효과적으로 제거하기 위해 주 세정 매체인 $CO_2$의 수농도를 조절할 수 있는 Multi-Nozzle의 개발과 이로 인하여 세정력의 강도를 조절하도록 하였다. 세정 후 발생되는 오염입자를 효과적으로 제거하도록 국부 Exhaust를 Nozzle전단에 달아 재 오염의 방지효과를 극대화 시켰다.
