AlN/Al/SiO$_2$/Si thin films for application to FBAR(Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) devices were prepared by FTS(Facing Targets sputtering system) apparatus which provides a stable discharge at low gas pressures and can deposit high quality thin films because of the substrate located apart from the plasma. The AlN thin films were deposited on a $SiO_2(1{\mu}m)/Si(100)$ substrate using an Al bottom electrode. The process parameters were fixed such as sputering power of 200W, working pressures of 1mTorr and AlN thin film thickness of 800nm, respectively and crytallographic characteristics of AlN thin films were investigated as a function of $N_2$ gas flow rate$[N_2/(N_2+Ar)]$. Thickness of AlN thin films were measured by $\alpha$-step, the crystallographic characteristics and c-axis preferred orientation were evaluated by XRD.

The influence of acidity in MTT zeolite of different Si/Al molar ratio's on the catalyst activity in methanol-to-olefin (MTO) reaction has been investigated. The Si/Al ratio was controlled with the Al content in the gel when N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,3-diaminopropane was used as a structure directing agent (SDA). The gel composition was controlled to $20SiO_2$ : 30SDA : x (=0.25~1.25)$NaAlO_2$ : 2NaOH : $624H_2O$, which was subject to the hydrothermal synthesis at 433 K for 4 days. As the composition of sodium aluminate decreased, the particle size of MTT zeolite increased, and also the amount of acid sites decreased. To investigate the catalytic performance, MTO reaction was carried out at 673 K with $1.2h^{-1}$ WHSV. It was found that the H-MTT (1.00Al) catalyst with a Si/Al molar ratio of 24 maintained the methanol conversion over 90% for 900 min.

Al-Si-Cu alloys benefit from the addition of copper for better hardness and strength through precipitation hardening, which results in remarkably strong alloys. However, the addition of copper expands the solidification range of Al-Si-Cu alloys, and due to this, these alloys become more prone to hot tearing, which is one of the most common and serious fracture phenomena encountered during solidification. The conventional evaluation method of the hot tearing properties of an alloy is a relative and qualitative analysis approach that does not provide quantitative data about this phenomenon. In the present study, the mold itself part of a device developed in Instone et al. was partially modified to obtain more reliable quantitative data pertaining to the hot tearing properties of an Al-Si-Cu casting alloy. To assess the influence of Cu element, four levels of Cu contents were tested (0.5, 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 wt.%) in the Al-Si-Cu system alloy and the hot tearing properties were evaluated in each case. As the Cu content was increased, the hot tearing strength decreased to 2.26, 1.53, 1.18, and 1.04 MPa, respectively. At the moment hot tearing occurred, the corresponding solid fraction and solidification rate decreased at the same temperature due to the increase in the solid-liquid coexistence range as the Cu content increased. The morphology of the fracture surfaces was changed from dendrites to dendrites covered with residual liquid, and CuAl₂ phases were observed in the vicinity of hot tearing.

현재 자동차 분야에서 차량 경량화를 통해 연비 향상 및 에너지 효율 향상을 기대하고 있으며, 차량 경량화의 한 수단으로 자동차용 유리를 고강도 투명 플라스틱 소재인 PC(Polycarbonate)로 대체하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나, PC의 낮은 내마모 특성과 자외선에 의한 열화 및 변색 현상은 해결하여야 할 중요한 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 본 연구에서는, PC의 내마모 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 transmittance가 확보되고, 고경도 특성을 갖는 Al-Si-N 박막 증착에 대한 연구를 하였고, 자외선 차단을 위하여 SiN:H 박막을 증착 하였다. 박막 증착을 위하여 ICP-assisted reactive magnetron sputtering 장비를 이용하였으며, 고경도 특성을 갖는 Al-Si-N 박막을 제조하였다. 그리고 300 nm 파장 이하의 자외선 차단을 위하여 SiN:H 박막을 증착하였다. 분석 장비로는 박막의 chemical state와 crystallinity를 확인하기 위하여 XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), XRD(X-ray diffraction)를 이용하여 분석을 수행하였으며, Knoop ${\mu}$-hardness tester와 Pin-on-disk를 이용하여 경도 및 내마모 특성을 평가하였다. SiN:H 박막 위에 Al-Si-N 박막을 증착하였고 총 두께는 ~5000 $\AA$을 증착하였으며, 가시광 영역에서 평균 70% 이상의 transmittance를 나타내었다. 박막의 Si/(Al+Si) 비율에 따라 다른 경도 특성을 나타냈는데, Si/(Al+Si) 비율이 26~32% 부근에서 최대 31 GPa의 경도 값을 확인하였고 SiN:H 박막은 300nm 이하의 파장에서 2% 이하의 transmittance를 확인하였다.

1.1-nm tobermorite의 수열합성에 SiO2원으로 zeolite광물을 출발물질로하여 소석회와 Ca(Si+Al)의 몰비 0.8~1.0로 150$^{\circ}$~23$0^{\circ}C$,8~48시간 동ㅇㄴ 포화증기압하에서 수열반응을 시킨 결과, 반응초기단계에서 tobermorite가 생성되었고, 고결정성 1.1-nm tobermorite의 최적합성조건은 0.8몰, 23$0^{\circ}C$, 48시간이었다. 출발물질중 Al의 존재로 tobermorite는 Ca/(Si+Al)몰비 0.8이 1.0보다 결정화가 급속히 이루어지고 있으나 Al를 함유치 않은 석영의 경우에는 Ca/Si 몰비 1.0이 0.8에서 보다 결정화가 빠르게 진행되었다 1.1-nm tobermorite는 $700^{\circ}C$에서 일주일간 가열처리하여도 저면간격이 변화하지 않는 열적거동이 이상형임을 보여주었다. 특히 출발물질중 Al의 존재는 1.1-nm tobermorite의 결정화와 안정화를 촉진시켜주며 Al이온이 tobermorite구조중의 Si이온과 동형치환을 한다.

Large colorless single crystals of analcime with diameters up to 0.20 mm have been synthesized from gels with the composition of $3.00SiO_2$ : $1.50NaAlO_2$ : 8.02NaOH : $454H_2O$ : 5.00TEA. The fully $Na^+$-exchanged analcime have been prepared with aqueous 0.1 M NaCl (pH adjusted from 6 to 11 by dropwise addition of NaOH). The single-crystal structure of hydrated $|Na_{0.94}(H_2O)|[Si_{2.06}Al_{0.94}O_6]$-ANA per unit cell, a=13.703(3) ${\AA}$, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique in the orthorhombic space group Ibca at 294 K. The structure was refined using all intenties to the final error indices (using only the 1,446 reflections for which $F_o$ > $4{\sigma}(F_o))R_1/wR_2$ = 0.054/0.143. About 15 $Na^+$ ions are located at three nonequivalent positions and octahedrally coordinated. The chemical composition is $Na_{0.94}(H_2O)Si_{2.06}Al_{0.94}O_6$. The Si/Al ratio of synthetic analcime is 2.19 determined by the occupations of cations, 14.79, in the single-crystal determination work.

Medium carbon steel was aluminized by hot dipping into molten Al or Al-1%Si baths. After hot-dipping in these baths, a thin Al-rich topcoat and a thick alloy layer rich in $Al_5Fe_2$ formed on the surface. A small a mount of FeAl and $Al_3Fe$ was incorporated in the alloy layer. Silicon from the Al-1%Si bath was uniformly distributed throughout the entire coating. The hot dipping increased the microhardness of the steel by about 8 times. Heating at $700-1000^{\circ}C$ however decreased the microhardness through interdiffusion between the coating and the substrate. The oxidation at $700-1000^{\circ}C$ in air formed a thin protective ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ layer, which provided good oxidation resistance. Silicon was oxidized to amorphous silica, exhibiting a glassy oxide surface.

The effect of extrusion temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties were studied in He-gas atomized $Al_{81-(x＋y)}Si_{19}Ni_xCe_y$ alloy powders and their extruded bars using SEM, tensile testing and thermal expansion testing. The extruded bar of $Al_{73}Si_{19}Ni_7Ce_1$ alloy consists of a mixed structure in which fine Si particles with a particle size below 20∼500nm and very fine $Al_3Ni,\;Al_3Ce$ compounds with a particle size below 200nm are homogeneously dispersed in Al martix with a grain size below 500nm. With increasing extrusion temperature, the microstructural scale was decreased. The ultimate tensile strength of the alloy bars has incresed with decreasing extrusion temperature from 500 to 35$0^{\circ}C$ and $Al_{73}Si_{19}Ni_7Ce_1$ alloy extreded at 35$0^{\circ}C$ shows a highest tensile strength of 810 MPa due to the fine namostructure. The addition of Ni and Ce decreased the coefficients of thermal expansion and the effects of extression temperature on the thermal expansion were not significant.
