To meet the current demand in the fields of permanent magnets for achieving a high energy density, it is imperative to prepare nano-to-microscale rare-earth-based magnets with well-defined microstructures, controlled homogeneity, and magnetic characteristics via a bottom-up approach. Here, on the basis of a microstructural study and qualitative magnetic measurements, optimized reduction conditions for the preparation of nanostructured Sm-Co magnets are proposed, and the elucidation of the reduction-diffusion behavior in the binary phase system is clearly manifested. In addition, we have investigated the microstructural, crystallographic, and magnetic properties of the Sm-Co magnets prepared under different reduction conditions, that is, $H_2$ gas, calcium, and calcium hydride. This work provides a potential approach to prepare high-quality Sm-Co-based nanofibers, and moreover, it can be extended to the experimental design of other magnetic alloys.

The present study describes a new technique to extract the primary silicon from an Al-Si alloy melt using centrifugal force during its solidification. The primary silicon was separated from an Al-50 wt.%Si alloy by centrifugal force in the form of a foam, which facilitated subsequent acid leaching to extract the pure silicon due to its wide surface area. The foam recovery after centrifugal separation was decreased as centrifugal acceleration was increased. The final recovery after acid leaching became closer to the solid fraction of the alloy, which was calculated from the Al-Si binary phase diagram, with increasing centrifugal acceleration due to the effective removal of the attached Al on the foam. The purity of the primary silicon obtained by the centrifugal separation method was over 99.99%, with only aluminum being also present.

This study investigated the growth behavior and characteristics of compounds formed at the interface between a liquid Al-Si-Cu alloy and solid cast iron. Through microstructural analyses, it was observed that various AlFe and AlFeSi phases are formed at the interface, and the relative proportion of each phase changes when small amounts of strontium are added to the Al alloy. The results of the microstructural analysis indicate that the primary phases of the interfacial compounds in the Al-Si-Cu base alloy are Al₈Fe₂Si and Al_4.5FeSi. However, in the Sr-added alloys, significant amounts of binary AlFe intermetallic compounds such as Al₅Fe₂ and Al₁₃Fe₄ formed, in addition to the AlFeSi phases. The inclusion of Sr has a slight diminishing effect on the rate at which the interfacial compounds layer thickens during the time the liquid Al alloy is in contact with the cast iron. The study also discusses the nano-indentation hardness and micro-hardness of the interfacial phases.

The damping capacities in the strain-amplitude dependent and strain-amplitude independent regions were comparatively investigated for pure Mg and Mg-X%Al solid solutions (X : 1, 2 at%) to clarify the role of Al solute in the damping properties of Mg-Al binary solid solution. In order to rule out the effect of grain size on damping capacity, grain sizes of the samples were adjusted to an almost similar level by changing the heat-treatment or solution treatment times at 683 K (12 h, 24 h and 32 h for pure Mg, Mg-1%Al and Mg-2%Al alloys, respectively). The damping capacities of the heat-treated pure Mg and Mg-X%Al solid solutions exhibited a decreasing tendency with an increase in Al concentration both in the strain-amplitude dependent and strain-amplitude independent regions. The observed damping trends depending on strain-amplitude were analyzed and discussed in association with decreasing length between weak pinning points (Al solutes) in Granato-Lücke model.

In the present study we proposed new equations to predict the liquidus temperature curve for hypoeutectic Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy. A thermodynamic simulation was carried out to calculate the liquidus temperature, eutectic temperature and eutectic Si concentration with different Si, Cu, and Mg contents in hypoeutectic Al-Si alloys. Regressed equations were derived using the thermodynamic simulation results by multiple regression analysis. The proposed equations were compared with the equations reported previously by other researchers and agreed better with the experimental data. The addition of Cu and Mg lowered the eutectic temperature. The eutectic Si concentration was decreased by adding Cu whereas that was increased by adding Mg. Al-Si binary phase diagram was successfully predicted with a consideration of the effect of Cu and Mg addition by using the proposed equations.

본 연구에서는 Al-10wt%Ti-4wt%Fe 복합재료를 in-situ공정으로 제조할 수 있는 가능성 및 2 원계 Al-10wt%Ti 복합재료의 낮은 기계적 성질(탄성계수, 상온 고온강도, 내마모특성 등)을 PM SiC/2124 복합재료 수준 흑은 그 이상으로 향상시킬 수 있는 가능성을 조사하였다. 제조된 Al-10wt%Ti-4wt%Fe 합금은 불연속 SiC 강화상으로 보강된 Al-기지 복합재료($SiC{w}$/2124)와 유사한 미세구조를 보여주었으며, 탄성계수 및 인장강도, 내마모성질 등의 기계적 특성이 2원계 Al-10%Ti 합금각 비교해 현저하게 향상되었음이 관찰되었다. 위의 결과는 초정 $Al_3Ti$상 외에도 Fe 원소의 첨가를 통한 추가적인 $Al_{x}Fe$의 분산강화 효과에 기인한 것으로 해석된다.

스퍼터링 중 500~600 Oe의 자기장을 인가한 상태에서 제조된 비정징 Sm-Fe 합금 박막에서 6$\times$104 J/m3 크기의 유도자기이방성이 형성되었다. 자장 증착에 이해유도자기이방성이 형성된 합금 박막은 이방성이 형성되지 않은 합금 박막에 비해 자구 구조에 무관한 "포화" 자기변형은 유사하지만, 측정 방향에 따른 자기변형의 이방성 비는 최대 35 정도로서 매우 크게 증가하였다. 이는 자기변형 박막의 디바이스 응용시 성능을 크게 향상시키므로, 실용적인 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 스퍼터링 중 자기장을 인가하지 않고 통상의 마그네트론 스퍼터링에 의해 제조된 비정질 Sm-Fe 합금 박막을 넓은 조성 범위에 걸쳐서 체계적으로 소자한 결과, 이러한 합금 박막에서도 미약하나마 스퍼터링 중의 누설 자계에 의해 증착 도중 유도자기이방성이 형성되는 것을 관찰하였으며, 최대의 유도자기이방성은 Sm 함량 25~30 원자%에서 얻어졌다. 또한 본 합금 박막의 유도자기이방성은 자장 중 열처리에 의해서도 형성되는 것을 관찰하였는데, 형성된 이방성의 크기는 자장 증착에 의해 제조된 시료보다 매우 작게 나타났다. 이는 자장 증착의 경우 원자의 표면 확산을 통한 원자의 이동에 의해 유도자기이방성이 형성되나, 증착 후 자장 열처리에 의한 경우는 체적 확산에 의해 유도자기이방성이 형성되기 때문으로 생각된다.때문으로 생각된다.

Recently, $Bi_2Te_3$-based alloys are the best thermoelectric materials near to room temperature, so it has been researched to achieve increased figure of merit(ZT). Ternary compounds such as Bi-Te-Se and Bi-Sb-Te have higher thermoelectric property than binary compound Bi-Te and Sb-Te, respectively. Compared to DC plating method, pulsed electrodeposition is able to control parameters including average current density, and on/off pulse time etc. Thereby the morphology and properties of the films can be improved. In this study, we electrodeposited n-type ternary Cu-doped $Bi_2(Te-Se)_3$ thin film by modified pulse technique at room temperature. To further enhance thermoelectric properties of $Bi_2(Te-Se)_3$ thin film, we optimized Cu doping concentration in $Bi_2(Te-Se)_3$ thin film and correlated it to electrical and thermoelectric properties. Thus, the crystal, electrical, and thermoelectric properties of electrodeposited $Bi_2(Te-Se)_3$ thin film were characterized the XRD, SEM, EDS, Seebeck measurement, and Hall effect measurement, respectively. As a result, the thermoelectric properties of Cu-doped $Bi_2(Te-Se)_3$ thin films were observed that the Seebeck coefficient is $-101.2{\mu}V/K$ and the power factor is $1412.6{\mu}W/mK^2$ at 10 mg of Cu weight. The power factor of Cu-doped $Bi_2(Te-Se)_3$ thin film is 1.4 times higher than undoped $Bi_2(Te-Se)_3$ thin film.
