The equilibrium geometrical structures of silver atom clusters at their electronic ground states have been theo-retically determined by using the nonrelativistic semiempirical INDO/1 method. The clusters investigated are Agn, Agn+, and Agn- (n = 7 , 8, 9). In order to find the most stable structure, i.e., the global minimum in energy hypersurface, geometry optimization and energy calculation processes have been repeatedly performed for all the possible graphical models by changing the bond parameters (resonance integral values). The heptamers are pentagonal bipyramidal-Ag7(D5h), Ag7+ (D5h), Ag7- (D5h); the octamers are pentagonal bipyramidal with one atom capped-Ag8(D2d), Ag8+ (Cs), Ag8- (D2d); the nonamers are pentagonal bipyramidal with two atoms capped -Ag9(C2v), Ag9+ (C2v), Ag9- (C2v). Our structures are in good agreement with those by ab initio calculations ex-cept for the anionic Ag9- cluster. And it is noted that the INDO/1 method can accurately predict the Ag cluster geometries when a proper set of bond parameters is used.

Biosilica is a silica-based substance derived from the cell walls (frustules) of diatoms. Recently, research into biosilica's biological functions is underway, but little has been reported on the effects of biosilica on immune cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of ionized biosilica water (iBW) on dendritic cells (DCs), which play crucial roles as antigen (Ag)-presenting cells. Treatment with iBW increased the expression of immune response-related markers, closely connected to the maturation of DCs, and the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha. In addition, iBW-treated DCs (iBW-DCs) had a lower uptake of fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran than that of control DCs. Mixed leukocyte response analysis used for measuring the Ag-presenting capability of DCs, showed iBW-DCs had a higher capability than that of control DCs. Interestingly, DCs treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and iBW had a lower level of Ag-presenting capability than that of LPS-treated DCs. Taken together, the results indicate that iBW alone can mature DCs, but it decreases the Ag-presenting capability of DCs in the presence of LPS, a representative agent of inflammation. This study may provide valuable information regarding the effect of iBW on immune cells. Further research is needed to investigate how iBW induces the observed biphasic immunomodulatory activity.

Five Cu(II) compounds were obtained from different copper salts with btp ligands, and their structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. The structure of coordination polymer 2 contains btp-bridged tetranuclear Cu(II) units weakly connected by nitrate ions, and the structure of a discrete Cu(II) molecule 1 contains acetates and btp ligands. With perchlorate anions, two btp ligands bridge Cu(II) ions to form a double zigzag chain 3, while a single zigzag chain 4 is created with sulfate anions. The reaction of $Cu(NO_{3})_{2}$ containing $NH_{4}PF_{6}$ with btp ligands also produced a polymeric compound 5 containing $Cu(H_{2}O)_{2}^{2+}$ and $Cu(NO_{3})_{2}$ units alternatively bridged by btp ligands with H-bonds between copper bonded water and nitrate oxygen atoms. Five Zn(II) compounds were obtained from different zinc salts with btp ligands, and the structures of polymeric compounds (6, 7 and 8) and monomeric compounds (9 and 10) were determined by X-ray crystallography. With nitrate, chloride and bromide anions, btp ligands bridge Zn(II) ions to form polymeric compounds (6, 7 and 8), but btp ligands coordinate to a Zn(II) ion to form monomeric complexes (9 and 10) with $PF_{6}^{-}$ and perchlorate anions. Four silver salts and btp ligands produced two kinds of structures, dinuclear 20-membered rings and one-dimensional zigzag chain depending on different anions. For $ClO_{4}^{-}$ and OTf anions, weak interactions between Ag(I) and anions make dinuclear 20-membered rings construct polymeric compounds (11 and 13). For $PF_{6}^{-}$ anion, there are also weak interactions between Ag(I) and $F(PF_{6}^{-})(12)$, but they do not construct a polymeric compound. For $O_{2}CCF_{3}^{-}$ anion, btp ligands bridge Ag(I) atoms to make one-dimensional zigzag chain (14), and there are also interactions between Ag(I) and anions.

This paper introduces an effect of a preparing $ZrO_2$-Ag composite on its mechanical properties and microstructure. In present study, $ZrO_2$-Ag was prepared by reduction-deposition route and wetting dispersive milling method, respectively. Two type of Ag powders (nano Ag and micron Ag size, respectively) were dispersed into $ZrO_2$ powder during wetting dispersive milling in D.I. water. Each sample was sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 2hr in atmosphere, and then several mechanical tests and analysis of microstructure were carried out by bending test, hardness, fracture toughness and fracture surface microstructure. As for microstructure, the Ag coated $ZrO_2$ showed homogeneously dispersed Ag in $ZrO_2$ in where pore defect did not appear. However, $ZrO_2$-nano Ag and $ZrO_2$-micro Ag composite appeared Ag aggregation and its pore defect, which carried out low mechanical property and wide error function value.

$Ag^+$이온이 부분적으로 이온 교환된 zeolite A를 완전히 탈수한 결정 Ag_4Na_8-A, Ag_6Na_6-A, 및 Ag_8Na_4-A를 $250^{\circ}C에서$ 4시간 동안 약 0.1 torr의 Rb 증기로 처리하였다. 세 가지의 결정구조는 $22(1)^{\circ}C$에서 입방공간군 $Pm{\bar3}m$ (a = 12.264(4) $\AA$, a = 12.269(1) $\AA$, and a= 12.332(3) $\AA$임)을 이용하여 단결정 X-선회절법으로 해석하였고, Full-matrix 최소 자승법 정밀화 계산에서 각각 I > $3\sigma(I)$인 131개, 108개 및 94개의 독립반사를 사용하여 각각 최종오차인수 R=0.056,0.068 및 0.070까지 정밀화시켰다. 각각의 구조에서 $Rb^+$이온은 3개의 다른 결정학적 위치에서 발견되었다. 단위세포당 3개의 $Rb^+$ 이온은 8-링 중심에 위치하고 있고, 약 6.0 ~ 6.8개의 $Rb^+$ 이온은 큰 동공의 6-링과 마주보는 위치의 3회 회전축상에서 발견되었으며 약 2.5개의 $Rb^+$이온은 큰 소다라이트 동공내에서 발견되었다. 또한 Ag종은 2개의 서로 다른 결정학적 위치에서 발견되었다. 약 0.6~1.0개의 $Ag^+$이온은 4-링과 마주보는 위치에 존재하였고, 약 1.8~4.2개의 Ag원자는 큰 동공의 중심에서 헥사실버 클러스터를 형성하고 있다. 8-링 위치가 $Rb^+$이온으로 모두 차 있어서 $Ag^0$가 골조 밖으로 이동하는 것을 막을 수 있다. 각각의 헥사실버 클러스터는 6-링과 8-링의 $Rb^+$ 이온 및 4-링의 $Ag^+$이온에 의해 안종화된다.

PIT method which is used at fabricating Bi-2223/Ag HTS wire includes a drawing process, conventional deformation method. Drawing of meta1(Ag) and ceramic (BiSrCaCuO) composite is also difficult and significant for uniform deformation. In this paper, parameters of uniform deformation was studied at Bi-2223/ Ag multifilamentary HTS wire. Powder and rod as a starting precursor was compared at 55 filament and 54 filament Bi-2223/Ag HTS wire, respectively. Micro-hardness and area COV of the filaments was also evaluated when the diameters were decreased through drawing operations.

Metallacyclodimers, [Ag(OTf)($L1)]_2$ and [Ag($L2)]_2(OTf)_2$ (L1 = 1,3-dibromo-2,2-bis[(isonicotinoyloxy)methyl] propane; L2 = 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(isonicotinoyloxy)hexane) were constructed and characterized. The crystal structure of [Ag(OTf)($L1)]_2$ reveals a 32-membered cyclodimer, whereas that of [Ag($L2)]_2(OTf)_2$ shows a linked 34-membered cyclodimer chain via intercyclic argentophilic (Ag…Ag) interactions. [Ag(OTf)($(L1)]_2$ affords “intramolecular $\pi-\pi$ interaction cyclodimer” whereas [Ag($L2)]_2(OTf)_2$ produces a racemic mixture of “twisted cyclodimer”. Ring-conformation of the cyclodimers was affected via the competition of electrostatic interaction and argentophilic interaction.

세 개의 탈수한 $Ag^+$이온과 $Ca^{2+}$ 이온으로 치환한 제올라이트 $A(Ag_4Ca_4-A,\;Ag_^Ca_3-A,\;Ag_8Ca_2-A)$를 0.1 Torr의 Rb 증기로 처리한 결정구조를 공간군 Pm3m을 써서 단결정 X-선 회절법으로 결정하였다. (단위세포상수 a는 각각 $12.271(1){\AA},\;12.255(1){\AA}$ 및 $12.339(1){\AA}$이다). 이들 구조의 최종 오차인수 R(무게)는 $I>3{\rho}(I)$가 되는 130 회절반사로 0.072, 110 회절반사로 0.050 및 86 회절반사로 0.082이었다. 각각의 구조에서 Rb 종은 세개의 다른 결정학적 위치에 위치하고 있다. 즉 단위세포당 3개의 $Rb^+$이온은 8-링 중심에 위치하고 약 2.5개 내지 3.0개의 $Rb^+$이온은 소다라이트 동공내 3회 회전축상에 위치한다. 또 Ag 종이 두 개의 다른 결정학적 위치에 위치하고 약 0.7∼2.1개의 $Ag^+$이온은 4-링과 마주보는 위치에, 약 2.2∼4.8개의 Ag 원자는 큰 동공 중심 가까이에 위치한다. 이들 구조에서 단위 세포당 Ag 원자이 수는 각각 2.2, 2.4 및 4.8개이었고 이들은 큰 동공 중심에 헥사실버 클라스터를 만든다. $Rb^+$이온은 8-링을 막고 있어서 Ag가 골조 밖으로 이동하는 것을 막고 있고 각각의 헥사실버 클라스터는 13개의 $Rb^+$ 이온과 배위하여 안정화된다. 단위 세포당 약 0.8개의 Rb원자가 과잉으로 존재하여 삼각 대칭형의 $(Rb_3)^{2+}$클라스터가 소다라이트 동공내의 존재한다. 적어도 하나의 큰 동공의 6-링 $Rb^+$ 이온은 소다라이트 동공의 $(Rb_3)^{2+}$클라스터에 접근하므로 이들 클라스터는 $(Rb)_4^{3+}$, $(Rb)_5^{4+}$ 혹은 $(Rb)_6^{5+}$가 형성될 수도 있다.

The effects of Ag addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of 7050 Al alloy were investigated. Various homogenizing and aging treatments were carried out to analyze the controversial effects of Ag in 7050 Al alloy. Transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was used for microstructural analysis. The hardening precipitates(${\eta}^{\prime}$) become finer with Ag addition. It suggests that Ag promotes easier nucleation of ${\eta}{\prime}$. The strength of overaged Ag bearing alloys are higher than that of Ag free alloy. Hardening precipitates(${\eta}^{\prime}$) in Ag bearing alloys are smaller than that of Ag free alloys, because the growth rate of ${\eta}^{\prime}$ during overaging stage is lower in Ag bearing alloys.
