실리콘은 광센서, 태양전지, 발광다이오드 등 광소자 응용 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있는 물질이다. 그러나 실리콘의 높은 굴절율(n~3.5)은 표면에서 약 30% 이상의 Fresnel 반사를 발생시켜 소자의 효율을 감소시키는 원인이 된다. 따라서, 반사손실을 줄이기 위해서는 실리콘 표면에 효율적인 무반사 코팅을 필요로 한다. 기존의 단일 혹은 다중 박막을 이용한 무반사 코팅 기술은 물질간 열팽창계수의 불일치, 접착력 문제, 박막 두께 조절 및 적합한 굴절율을 갖는 물질 선택 어려움 등의 단점을 지니고 있다. 최근, 이러한 무반사 코팅 기술의 대안으로 곤충 눈 구조를 모방한 나노크기의 서브파장 격자구조 (subwavelength gratings, SWGs)에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 SWGs 구조는 공기와 반도체 표면 사이에 점진적, 선형적으로 변화하는 유효굴절율을 갖기 때문에, 광대역 파장영역뿐만 아니라 다양한 각도에서 입사하는 빛에 대해서도 효과적으로 Fresnel 표면 반사를 낮출 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 실리콘 기판 표면 위에 효율적인 무반사 특성을 갖는 계층적 SWGs 나노구조를 제작하기 위해, 레이저간섭리소그라피 및 열적응집금속 입자를 이용한 식각 마스크 패터닝 방법과 유도결합플라즈마 식각 공정을 이용하였다. 제작된 무반사 실리콘 SWGs 나노구조의 표면 및 식각 프로파일은 전자주사현미경으로 관찰하였고, 표면 접촉각 측정 장비를 이용하여 샘플 표면의 젖음성을 확인하였다. 제작된 샘플의 광학적 특성을 조사하기 위해 UV-vis-NIR 스펙트로미터와 엘립소미터 측정 시스템들을 이용하였다.

The effect of Zr content on the thermal stability of mechanically alloyed Al-8wt.% (Ti+Zr) alloys was investigated. As the Zr to Ti addition ratio increased the decrease of hardness due to the long time exposure at high temperature reduced so that the thermal stability of the alloy was improved. From the TEM work it was found that the coarsening of precipitates was responsible for the decrease of hardness and the coarsening of precipitates could be suppressed by the addition of Zr, XRD, SAD and EDS analyses confirmed that these precipitates were consisted of DO$\sub$22/, and DO$\sub$23/ type Al$_3$(Ti+Zr) ternary in termetallic compounds. Especially for the DO$\sub$23/ Al$_3$(Ti+Zr), the lattice parameter changed toward the smaller lattice mismatch between the precipitate and Al matrix as the Zr content increased. Therefore, it was considered that the improvement of thermal stability of Al-8wt.% (Ti+Zr) alloys was due to the formation of the ternary Al$_3$( Ti + Zr) intermetallic compounds.

지르코니아 분말은 ZrO2 결정상이 온도변화에 따라 부피변화를 수반하는 상전이변태를 나타낸다. 단사정 ZrO2가 110$0^{\circ}C$에서는 정방정으로, 2$700^{\circ}C$ 내외에서는 입방정으로 결정구조가 가역적으로 변한다. 이 ZrO2에 금속산화물을 고용시키면 형석 (CaF2:Florite)형의 입방정 결정구조가 실온에서도 안정하게 존재하게 된다. 안정화제 산화물은 caO, MgO등 2가 산화물외에 3가 또는 4가의 금속산화물로서 Sc2O3, Y2O3, Sm2O3, Nd2O3, Gd2O3, Y2O3, CeO2 등이며 이들은 금속이온의 원자가가 변하기 쉬운 희토류 산화물이다. 안정화 지르코니아는 형석형 결정구조이며 결정화학적으로 보면 금속양이온이 산소이온에 대해서 정육면체형의 8배위를 하고 있다. 이때 이온반경비(양이온/음이온)에 따라 Zr+4자리와 O-2자리의 격자위치와 모양이 형성되므로 비틀어진 정육면체구조이건 이상적인 정육면체 형석구조를 이룬다. 이는 지르코니아의 결정상의 2상-3상인 부분안정화 지르코니아다결정체(PSZ : partially stabilized zirconia)이거나 단일상-2상인 정방정 지르코니아다결정체(TZP : tetragonal zirconia polycrystal)의 결정구조를 가지는데 기인한다. PSZ는 주로 MgO, CaO를 안정화제로 고용시켜 입방정 영역에서 소결하고 이를 다시 입방정과 정방정의 상 영역에서 열처리하여 입방정 입자내부에 정방정을 석출 형성시킨 것이며 TZP는 Y2O3 및 CeO2를 고용시켜 PSZ와 다르게 일반적인 상압소결한 정방정 결정상의 미립자이다. 산화지르코늄 분말은 지르콘사에서 열분해시킨 지르코늄소결.융해괴(caustic fusion clinker)를 산처리하여얻어진 지르코늄산용액(zirconyl acid solution : cloride, sulfide, nitride 등)으로부터 제조된다. 고순도 산화지르코늄은 용액 결정석출법에 의해 ZrOCl2.8H2O, 5ZrO2.3SO3.15H2O, ZrO(NO3)2.xH2O 등의 지르코늄 수화물만을 재결정화시킨 것으로부터 얻을 수 있으며 이 지르코늄염 수용액으로부터 입자미세구조를 효과적으로 제어하여 산화지르코늄 및 안정화 지르코니아 분말제조가 가능하다. 안정화 지르코니아 분말은 ZrO2와 안정화산화물의 고용을위하여 가열처리를 필요로 하며 일정온도에서 최적상태로 숙성하므로서 2가지 상(phase) 이상의 고용체를 가지게 된다. 안정화 지르코니아 분말은 고용처리온도를 낮추고 효과적으로 생성시키기 위해서는 지르코늄 및 안정화제염을 혼합하고 습식 직접합성하여 저온에서 고용체의 합해진상 영역을 생성시키는 것이다. 이는 지르코니아 원료분말의 미세구조를 제어하므로서 가능하며 이때 화학성분조성과 크기형태가 균일하게 분포된 입자분말을 얻을 수 있다.

The $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticle was synthesized by the hot-injection method while varying the injection time of the precursor solution. The crystal structure was determined to be cubic inverse spinel with space group of Fd-3m based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements and the morphology of the prepared $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticle was studied with a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM). When the precursor solution was injected for 0.5 min, the size of the $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticle was 7.63 nm, while the size of the obtained particle was 21.27 nm with the injection time of 60 min. The magnetic properties of the prepared $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticle were investigated by both vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and $^{57}Co$ M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy at various temperatures. From the hyperthermia measurement, we observed that the temperature of the $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticle powder reached around $120^{\circ}C$ under 250 Oe at 50 kHz, when the injection time of the precursor solution was 60 min.

In a functionally graded materials(FGM), two constituent material particles are mixed up according to a specific volume fraction distribution so that its thermoelastic behavior is definitely characterized by such a material composition distribution. Therefore, the designer should determine the most suitable volume fraction distribution in order to design a FGM that optimally meets the desired performance against the given constraints. In this paper, we address a numerical optimization procedure, with employing interior penalty function method(IPFM) and FDM, for optimizing 2D volume fractions of heat-resisting FGMs composed of metal and ceramic. We discretize a FGM domain into finite number of homogenized rectangular cells of single design variable in order for the optimization efficiency. However, after the optimization process, we interpolate the discontinuous volume fraction with globally continuous bilinear function in order to enforce the continuity of volume fraction distributions.

To realistically simulate fluid, the Navier-Stokes equations are generally used. Solving these Navier-Stokes equations on the Eulerian framework, the non-linear advection terms invoke heavy computation and thus Semi-Lagrangian methods are used as an approximated way of solving them. In the Semi-Lagrangian methods, the locations of advection sources are traced and the physical values at the traced locations are interpolated. In the case of Stam's method, there are relatively many chances of numerical losses, and thus there have been efforts to correct these numerical errors. In most cases, they have focused on the numerical interpolation processes, even simultaneously using particle-based methods. In this paper, we propose a new approach to reduce the numerical losses, through improving the tracing method during the advection calculations, without any modifications on the Eulerian framework itself. In our method, we trace the grids with the velocities which will let themselves to be moved to the current target position, differently from the previous approaches, where velocities of the current target positions are used. From the intuitive point of view, we adopted the simple physical observation: the physical quantities at a specific position will be moved to the new location due to the current velocity. Our method shows reasonable reduction on the numerical losses during the smoke simulations, finally to achieve real-time processing even with enhanced realities.

This study examined the effects of stacking faults on the thermoelectric properties for n-type SiC semiconductors. Porous SiC semiconductors with 30~42 % porosity were fabricated by the heat treatment of pressed ��-SiC powder compacts at 1600~2100 ℃ for 20~120 min in an N2 atmosphere. XRD was performed to examine the stacking faults, lattice strain, and precise lattice parameters of the specimens. The porosity and surface area were analyzed, and SEM, TEM, and HRTEM were carried out to examine the microstructure. The electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient were measured at 550~900 ℃ in an Ar atmosphere. The electrical conductivity increased with increasing heat treatment temperature and time, which might be due to an increase in carrier concentration and improvement in grain-to-grain connectivity. The Seebeck coefficients were negative due to nitrogen behaving as a donor, and their absolute values also increased with increasing heat treatment temperature and time. This might be due to a decrease in stacking fault density, i.e., a decrease in stacking fault density accompanied by grain growth and crystallite growth must have increased the phonon mean free path, enhancing the phonon-drag effect, leading to a larger Seebeck coefficient.

To improve the catalytic activity of platinum on polymer electrolyte fuel cell(PEFC), platinum was alloyed with cobalt and nickel at various temperature. By XRD, it was observed the crystal structure of alloy catalysts were the ordered face centered cubic(f.c.c) due to the superlattice line at $33^{\circ}$. As heat-treatment temperature was increased, the particle size of alloys also were increased and the crystalline lattice parameters were decreased. According to the results from mass activity, specific activity and Tafel slope measured by cell performance test and cyclic voltammogram, the catalyst activities of alloys are higher than that pure platinum.
