A shield was made by mixing materials such as bismuth(Bi) and barium(Ba) with silicon to evaluate its shielding ability. Bismuth was made into a shield by mixing a bismuth oxide(Bi₂O₃) colloidal solution and a silicon base and applied to a fibrous fabric, and barium was made by mixing lead oxide(PbO) and barium sulfate(BaSO₄) with a silicon curing agent and solidifying it to make a shield. The test was conducted according to the lead equivalent test method for X-ray protective products of the Korean Industrial Standard. The experiment was conducted by increasing the shielding body one by one from the test condition of 60 kVp, 200 mA, 0.1sec and 100 kVp, 200 mA, 0.1 sec. At 60 kVp, 2 lead oxide-barium sulfate shields, 2 bismuth oxide 1.5 mm shields, and 5 bismuth oxide 0.3 mm shields showed shielding ability equal to or higher than that of lead 0.5 mm. At 100 kVp, 2 lead oxide-barium sulfate shields and 2 bismuth oxide 1.5 mm shields showed shielding ability equal to or higher than that of lead 0.5 mm. It was confirmed that when using 2 pieces of lead oxide-barium sulfate and 1.5 mm of bismuth oxide, respectively, it has shielding ability equivalent to that of lead. Bismuth oxide and lead oxide-barium sulfate are lightweight and have excellent shielding ability, thus they have excellent properties to be used as an apron for radiation protection or other shielding materials.

To develop ceramic composite anodes of solid oxide fuel cells without metal catalysts, a small amount of barium carbonate was added to an $(La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2})(Cr_{0.5}Mn_{0.5})O_3(LSCM)$ - YSZ ceramic composite anode and its catalytic effects on the electrode performance were investigated. A barium precursor solution with citric acid was used to synthesize the barium carbonate during ignition, while a barium precursor solution without citric acid was used to create hydrated barium hydroxide. The addition of barium carbonate to the ceramic composite anode caused stable fuel cell performance at 1073 K; this performance was higher than that of a fuel cell with $CeO_2$ catalyst; however, the addition of hydrated barium hydroxide to the ceramic composite anode caused poor stability of the fuel cell performance.

The effect of copper oxide on migration and interaction of protons in barium zirconate was investigated using density functional theory. One copper atom was substituted for a zirconium atom site, and a proton was added to a $3{\times}3{\times}3$ barium zirconate superstructure. An energy barrier of 0.89 eV for proton migration was the highest among several energy barriers. To investigate the interaction between multiple protons and a copper atom, two protons were added to the superstructure. Various proton positions were determined by the interaction between the two protons and the copper atom.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is low molecular weight oxide gas that is endogenously produced under physiological conditions and interacts with another gas, nitric oxide (NO), to act as a gastrointestinal messenger. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of exogenous CO on L-type calcium channel currents of human jejunal circular smooth muscle cells. Cells were voltage clamped with 10 mM barium ($Ba^{2+}$) as the charge carrier, and CO was directly applied into the bath to avoid perfusion induced effects on the recorded currents. 0.2% CO was increased barium current ($I_{Ba}$) by $15{\pm}2$% ($mean{\pm}S.E.$, p<0.01, n=11) in the cells. To determine if the effects of CO on barium current were mediated through the cGMP pathway, cells were pretreated with 1-H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3,-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ, $10{mu}M$), a soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor, and exogenous CO (0.2%) had no effect on barium currents in the presence of ODQ ($2{\pm}1$% increase, n=6, p>0.05). CO mediates inhibitory neurotransmission through the nitric oxide pathway. Therefore, to determine if the effects of CO on L-calcium channels were also mediated through NO, cells were incubated with $N^G-nitro-L-arginine$ (L-NNA, 1 mM), a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. After L-NNA pretreatment, 0.2 % CO did not increase barium current ($4{\pm}2$% increase, n=6, p>0.05). NO donor, SNAP ($20{\mu}M$) increased barium current by $13{\pm}2$% (n=6, p<0.05) in human jejunal smooth muscle cells. These data suggest that CO activates L-type calcium channels through NO/cGMP dependant mechanism.

Molecular dynamics simulation (MD) of $(62-x)CaO{\cdot}38Al_{2}O_{3}{\cdot}xBaO$ glasses has been carried out using empirical potentials with the covalent term. The simulations closely reproduce the total neutron correlation functions of glass with 5 mol% BaO and physical properties of these glasses such as elastic constants. For these glasses, aluminum is tetrahedrally coordinated by oxygen, but there is a part of five-fold and six-fold coordination of aluminum. There are no major changes to the mid-range structure of glass, as barium is substituted for calcium. To predict the barium coordination number, we have used the bond valence (BV) theory and also compared the results of simulation with Bond valence. The coordination number for oxygen around barium atoms is close to 8 and the average distance of barium and oxygen is nearly 2.80 A. The viscosity of these glasses increases with the content of barium oxide substituted for calcium oxide.

The peculiarities of using Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) and solid state phase synthesis for production of high temperature superconductor materials are discussed. Oxide superconductors with general formula $ReBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{7-x}$ (Re= Y, Yb, Sm, Nd) have been made with using barium oxide initial powder instead of traditional barium carbonate. X-ray powder diffraction showed a single phase orthorhombic perovskite structure was produced in all reactions. Phenomena observed during the grinding of the reactant mixture are presented. Mechano-chemical activation - as a pretreatment of the reactant mixture - strongly influences the kinetic parameters, the reaction mechanism, and the composition and structure of the final product.

강유전재료로서 가장 대표적이며 전자부품으로서 많이 사용되는 것 중의 하나인 titan 산 barium 자기 capacitor의 제조방법과 그 특성을 기술하였다. 산화 titanium과 탄산 barium을 1:1 mole비로 하고 이에 몇가지의 광화제를 첨가해서 소성한 어떤 자기결정의 전기적특성은 표준치와 잘 일치하였으며 절록저항, 온도계수 및 흡수율은 일반적으로 볼 수 있는 치를 많이 넘었다. 이러한 특성을 낼 수 있는 적당한 제조방법을 알아낼 수 있었다.

의료기관의 방사선 차폐체의 차폐물질이 친환경소재로 변화되면서 기존 납의 일반된 차폐특성보다 차폐물질의 특성에 따른 방사선 방어가 중요한 요소로 대두되고 있다. 납과 유사한 차폐물질로 대표적인 텡스텐과 황산바륨은 친환경 소재로 시트나, 섬유 형태로 제작되어 사용되고 있다. 이테르븀은 치과 방사선영역에서 불투과성 물질로 불소화합물로 사용되었으며, 에너지대별 차폐특성과 기존 친환경소재의 차폐특성과 비교하여 x-선 차폐영역에서 차폐성능을 평가하고자 한다. 동일한 공정과 조건하에 세 종류의 차폐시트를 제작하여 실험하였으며, 의료방사선 영역에서 텅스텐과 약 5 % 차폐성능 차이가 나타났으며, 황산바륨보다 우수한 차폐성능을 보였다. 차폐시트의 단면 구조에서는 인자의 배열이 일정하지 못하는 큰 단점을 보였다. 따라서 산화이테르븀은 의료방사선 차폐물질로 충분한 가능성을 보였으며, 입자배열 구조와 입자크기 조절로 차폐성능을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
