The pore volume of hardened cement with waterproofing materials is lower compared to that of hardened cement without waterproofing materials. Thus, fewer gaps will appear by means of chemical reactions between $Ca^{2+}$ ions in hardened cement and water, solutes, and other ions. Due to the selective permeability, the osmotic pressure of hardened cement can change due to physical effects such as the reduction of the pore volume and the reduction in the number of pores, as well as by the electrochemical reaction between water, solutes, other ions and $Ca^{2+}$ ions in hardened cement. Of course, these factors do not have independent effects but instead a combined complex effect. Accordingly, we studied changes in the osmotic pressure due to the difference in the pore structure of hardened cement. A pore size smaller than 1 nm in hardened cement had only a slight effect on the osmotic pressure, whereas a pore size larger than 1 nm had a direct effect on the osmotic pressure.

Magnesium oxide (MgO) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) have been successfully synthesized by solid-solid reaction method. The structural properties of ZnO and MgO NPs were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD results indicated a formation of pure MgO and ZnO NPs. The mean diameter values of the agglomerated particles were around to be 70 and 50 nm for MgO and ZnO NPs, respectively using SEM analysis. Further, a wide-range of nuclear radiation shielding investigation for gamma-ray and fast neutrons have been studied for Magnesium oxide (MgO) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) samples. FLUKA and Microshield codes have been employed for the determination of mass attenuation coefficients (μ_m) and transmission factors (TF) of Magnesium oxide (MgO) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) samples. The calculated values for mass attenuation coefficients (μ_m) were utilized to determine other vital shielding properties against gamma-ray radiation. Moreover, the results showed that Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles with the lowest diameter value as 50 nm had a satisfactory capacity in nuclear radiation shielding.

In this study, we fabricate amorphous carbon thin films on silicon substrates by DC sputtering method and investigate the optical property and photothermal characteristics. A representative amorphous carbon thin film has a absorption value of 97% at a wavelength of 1000 nm and shows a temperature increase of $3^{\circ}C$ from $21.1^{\circ}C$ to $24.1^{\circ}C$ during white light irradiation. In addition, the amorphous carbon film has a heating rate four times higher than that of the substrate during light irradiation for 50 sec.

The properties of electroless Ni-B thin film on diamond powder with different parameters (temperature, pH, surfactant etc.) were studied. The surface morphology, structure and composition distribution of the Ni-B film were observed by field effect scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The growth rate of Ni-B film was increased with increase of bath temperature. The B content in Ni-B film was reduced with increase of bath pH. As a result the structure of Ni-B film was changed from amorphous to crystalline structure. The PVP in solution plays multi-functional roles as a dispersant and a stabilizer. The Ni-B film deposited with adding 0.1 mM-PVP was strongly introduced an amorphous structure with higher B content (25 at.%). Also the crystallite size of Ni-B film was reduced from 12.7 nm to 5.4 nm.

$Mg_xNi_yZn_{1-x-y}Fe_2O_4$ ferrite powders were prepared by self-propagating high temperature synthesis followed by classifying with an ultrasonic wet-magnetic separation unit to get high pure nano-sized particles. The $Mg_xNi_yZn_{1-x-y}Fe_2O_4$ ferrites were well formed by using several powders like iron, nickel oxide, zinc oxide and magnesium oxide at 0.1 MPa of oxygen pressure. The ultrasonic wet-magnetic separation of pre-mechanical milled ferrite powders resulted in producing the powders with average size of 800 nm. The addition of a surfactant during the wet-magnetic separation process improved productivity more than twice. The coercive force, maximum magnetization and residual magnetization of the $Mg_xNi_yZn_{1-x-y}Fe_2O_4$ nano-powders with 800 nm size were 3651 A/m, $53.92Am^2/kg$ and $4.0Am^2/kg$, respectively.

SrAl$_2$O$_4$ powder was prepared by polymerized complex method and its nucleation was observed at different temperatures and times. Problems of inhomogeneity and high synthesis temperature induced by solid state reaction could be solved by using polymeric precursors. The process of decomposition by heat treatment above 40$0^{\circ}C$ was observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and elemental analyzer. Crystallization of SrAl$_2$O$_4$ occured at about 90$0^{\circ}C$ and its crystalline size. which was determined by using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD). was about 30∼50 nm.

Electrospinning is a technique that produces sub-micron sized continuous fibers by electric force from polymer solutions or melts. Due to its versatile manufacturability and the cost effectiveness, this method has been recently adopted for the fabrication of one-dimensional materials. Here, we fabricated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer fibers, from which uniform carbon fibers with diameters of 100-200 nm were obtained after carbonization at 800 $^{\circ}C$ in N$_2$. Special emphasis was directed to the influence of the phase separated polymer solution on the morphology and the microstructure of the resulting carbon fiber. The addition of poly(stylene-co-acrylonitile) (SAN) makes the polymer solution phase separated, which allows for the formation of internal pores by its selective elimination after electrospinning. XPS and Raman Spectroscopy were used to confirm the surface composition and the degree of carbonization. At the PAN:SAN = 50:50 in vol%, the uniform carbon fibers with diameters of 300$\sim$500 nm and surface area of 131.6 m$^2$g$^{-1}$ were obtained.

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are of interest for use in widely area electronic applications. We fabricated a copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) based field-effect transistor with different substrate temperature. The CuPc FET device was made a top-contact type and the substrate temperature was room temperature and $150^{\circ}C$. The CuPc thickness was 40nm, and the channel length was $50{\mu}m$, channel width was 3mm. We observed a typical current-voltage (I-V) characteristics in CuPc FET.

본 연구에서는 DC magnetron 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 고정밀, 고저항 저항체 박막으로 TaNx film을 제조하였을 때 형성될 수 있는 화합물 중 TaN0.1, TaN0.8과 TaN 박막의 Rs와 TCR특성을 평가하 고 film층의 우선방향성을 XRD를 이용하여 판명한 뒤 저항체의 Rs와 TCR에 미치는 영향을 조사하였 다. TaN0.1 박막이 35$\Omega$/$\square$의 면저항값과 안정된 TCR값을 나타내는 것을 알수 있었다. 두께50~200nm 의 TaN0.1과 Alumina 기판 사이에 정(+)의 TCR을 갖는 약 50nm의 Cr층을 증착하였을 때 Rs는 180$\Omega$/ $\square$ 과 TCR는 20ppm/$^{\circ}C$인 적층박막을 제조할 수 있었다. TaN0.1, TaN0.8 과 TaN 시편에서 화합물 형성 에 따른 Ta의 결합에너지를 ESCA를 이용하여 조사하였다. 이상의 연구결과로부터 TaN0.1 film이 TaNfilm 보다 고정밀, 고저항 박막 저항체 제조에 있어 우수한 전기저항 특성을 가지며 Cr 중간층 형성 으로 TCR이 $\pm$ppm/$^{\circ}C$정도로 안정된 고정밀 다층 저항체 박막을 형성할 수 있었다.
