The acid mine drainage (AMD) and landfill leachates released into the subsurface environment can result in serious environmental problems like soil and groundwater contamination. The AMD and the leachates of landfill were known to contain many heavy metals. In this study, the author assessed the reactivity and ability of the FeS coated-ALC for the removal of contaminants (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn, Al) in AMD and leachates in landfill. The synthetic nano-FeS and Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete (ALC) were used as reactive materials in the permeable reactive barriers(PRBs). The result of batch test indicated that synthetic nano-FeS can remove 99% of heavy metals for the 1hr of reaction time except for As and Ni(about 90%). However, the 80% of As and Ni was removed in column 1(FeS coated-ALC). The column 2(Ore FeS) removed more than 99% of heavy metals. The pH of the column 1 was increased from 3.51 to 6.39~6.50, and the pH with column 2 was increased from 3.51 to 9.20. As the result of this study, the author can surmise that the synthetic nano-FeS coated ALC will use as a very good reactive material of the PRBs to treat the contaminated groundwater with AMD and leachate of landfill.

The goal of this research is the create novel magnets with no rare-earth contents, with larger energy product by comparison with currently used ferrites. For this purpose we developed nano-sized hard-type/soft-type composite ferrite in which high remanent magnetization (Mr) and high coercivity (Hc). Nano-sized Ba-ferrite, Ni-Zn ferrite and $BaFe_{12}O_{19}/Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$ composite ferrites were prepared by sol-gel combustion method by use of glicine-nitrate and citric acid. Nanocomposite ferrites were calcined at temperature range $700-900^{\circ}C$ for 1h. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns and FT-IR spectra, single phase of NiZn-ferrite and Ba-ferrite were detected and hard/soft nanocomposite ferrite was indicated to the coexistence of the magnetoplumbite-structural $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ and spinel-structural $Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$ that agreed with the standard JCPDS 10-0325 data. The particle size of nanocomposite turn out to be less than 120 nm. The nanocomposite ferrite shows a single-phase magnetization behavior, implying that the hard magnetic phase and soft magnetic phase were well exchange-coupled. The specific saturation magnetization ($M_s$) of the nanocomposite ferrite is located between hard ($BaFe_{12}O_{19}$) and soft ferrite($Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$). The remanence (Mr) of nanocomposite ferrite is much higher than that of the individual $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ and $Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$ ferrite, and $(BH)_{max}$ is increased slightly.

ICP (RF) 열 플라즈마 분말 합성법은 초고온 열플라즈마(~10,000 K) 속으로 원료물질을 투입한 뒤, 용융, 기화 및 재합성의 과정을 거쳐 초미분(<1 ${\mu}s$)을 합성하는 방법으로 고출력 시스템의 경우 고온/고 엔탈피 열 유동을 통한 고융점 및 저융점 복합물질의 동시 기화에 의한 물질 조성이 제어된 나노 복합체의 대량 합성이 가능할 것으로 기대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전북대학교 고온플라즈마 응용연구센터의 60&200 kW의 고출력 ICP (RF) 열 플라즈마 시스템을 이용하여 LTO (Lithium Titanium Oxide)와 IZTO (Indium Zinc Tin Oxide), Barium Borosilicate Glass (K2O-BaO-B2O3-SiO2)의 다성분계 나노 복합체를 합성하였으며, FE-SEM, TEM, XRD, ICP-OES를 이용하여 그 특성을 분석하였다.

1차원 나노 와이어는 나노 디바이스를 구현하는데 있어 중요한 요소로 연구되고 있다. 하지만 나노 와이어를 바람직한 위치에 선택적으로 배열하는 부분은 해결할 과제로 남아있다. DNA 분자가 가지고 있는 음의 전하를 띄는 phosphate backbone과 자기조립 특성은 이러한 문제점들을 해결할 수 있는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 DNA 분자 형틀을 이용해서 CdSe/ZnS core-shell 나노입자의 pH 의 변화에 따른 표면 전위 변화를 이용하여 선택적 위치의 나노입자 배열을 통한 나노 와이어를 제작하는 연구를 하였다. 1-step 방법을 이용하여 합성한 CdSe/ZnS core-shell 나노입자를 무극성 용매인 chloroform 용액에 분산시키고 dimethylaminoethanethiol (DMAET) 를 이용하여 표면을 양전하로 치환하였다. 그리고 치환한 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자 용액에 HCl 을 이용해서 pH 7, 6, 5, 4로 변화를 주어 zeta potential 변화를 측정하였고 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) 코팅된 Si 기판에 ${\lambda}$-DNA를 정렬하고 이를 형틀로 이용하여 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자를 정렬하는 실험을 하였고 FE-SEM 을 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자의 pH 값이 작아지면서 전위가 커짐에 따라서 APTES 코팅된 기판 표면에 나노입자들이 반응하는 것보다 음전하를 띄는 ${\lambda}$-DNA의 phosphate backbone에 반응하는 것이 커짐에 따라 DNA 분자 형틀에 선택적으로 나노입자가 배열되는 것을 확인하였다.

In this study, we report the synthesis of the single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs) using laminated catalyst(Al/Fe/Al) layer deposited by sputter on Si(001). SWCNTs are grown by thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) method. As the results of scanning electron microscopy(SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy(HR-TEM) and Raman spectroscopy, we confirmed the SWCNTs bundles with narrow diameter distribution of $1.14{\sim}1.32\;nm$ and average G&D ratio of 22.76. Compare to the sample having Fe/Al catalyst layer, it can be proposed that the top-aluminum incorporated with iron catalyst plays an important role in growing process of CNTs as a agglomeration barrier of the Fe catalyst. Thus, we suggest that a proper quantity of aluminium metal incorporated in Fe catalyst induce small and uniform iron catalysts causing SWCNTs with narrow diameter distribution.

We have succeeded in synthesizing vertically aligned thin multi-walled carbon nanotubes (VA thin-MWCNTs) by a catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) method onto Fe/Al thin film deposited on a Si wafers using an optimum amount of hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) additive. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed that the as-synthesized CNT arrays were vertically well-oriented perpendicular to the substrate with relatively uniform length. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations indicated that the as-grown CNTs were nearly catalyst-free thin-MWCNTs with small outer diameters of less than 10nm. The average wall number is about 5. We suggested a possible growth mechanism of the VA thin-MWCNT arrays. The VA thin-MWCNTs showed a low turn-on electric field of about $1.1\;V/{\mu}m$ at a current density of $0.1\;{\mu}A/cm^2$ and a high emission current density about $2.5\;mA/cm^2$ at a bias field of $2.7\;V/{\mu}m$. Moreover, the VA thin-MWCNTs presented better field emission stability without degradation over 20 hours (h) at the emission current density of about $1\;mA/cm^2$.

탄소나노튜브(CNTs)는 우수한 물리적, 화학적, 기계적 특성으로 다양한 분야에서 연구가 진행 되고있다. 특히, field emission displays (FEDs)로의 응용을 위해서는 기본적으로 sodalime glass 위에 직접 CNTs를 성장시켜야 하며, 소자 응용을 위해 기판인 sodalime glass를 왜곡시키는 온도보다 낮은 온도에서 CNT의 수직 성장이 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 Hot-filament plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (HF-PECVD)를 이용하여 합성온도를 400, 450, 500, $550^{\circ}C$로 변화시켰으며 촉매 층인 Ni의 두께를 5~40 nm까지 조절하여 탄소나노튜브를 합성하였다. 저온에서 합성된 탄소나노튜브는 FE-SEM을 이용하여 성장 형태 및 표면 특성을 확인하였으며, 미세구조는 HR-TEM을 이용하여 확인하였다.
