각종 전자 방출원 및 디스플레이 응용 분야에서 뛰어난 가능성을 보이고 있는 탄소나노튜브의 전계 방출 특성을 개선하고 전자방출의 신뢰성을 개선하기 위해 탄소나노튜브의 표면에 수 nm 두께의 금속 코팅을 적용하였다. 탄소나노튜브는 실리콘 기판위에 2 nm 두께의 Invar (52% Fe, 42% Ni, 6% Co alloy) 촉매를 사용하여 $450^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 플라즈마 화학기상 증착법으로 성장시켰다. 성장된 탄소나노튜브의 밀도 제어를 위해 성장 후 질소 플라즈마로 일부를 식각한 후 티타늄(Ti) 금속을 탄소나노튜브 표면에 5~150 nm 두께로 스퍼터링 증착하였다. 5 nm로 티타늄을 탄소나노튜브 표면에 코팅한 경우, 코팅 전에 비해 6 V/${\mu}m$의 전계에서 전류밀도가 4배 이상 증가되었으며, 전계 방출 전류의 요동(fluctuation) 또한 40% 이상 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 티타늄의 일함수가 4.3 eV로 탄소나노튜브의 5 eV에 비해 작을 뿐만 아니라, 탄소나노튜브의 약점으로 지적되는 기판과의 접착성과 접촉저항이 티타늄의 표면 코팅으로 인해 크게 개선된 결과로 판단된다.

Mn1-xCrxPt3 합금 박막을 유리기판상에 rf 마그네트론 스퍼터법으로 전이금속(Mn, Cr)과 Pt층을 적층하여 증착한우 열처리함으로써 제조하였다. 제조한 박막들의 소각 및 광각 x-선 회절 분석, 자기 히스테리시스 루우프, 커 스펙트럼을 실온에서 조사했다. 제조한 박막들은 (111)면이 막면에 평행으로 강하게 우선 배향된 AuCu3 형의 규칙합금 구조를 나타냈다. 포화자화는 Cr 치환량(x)이 증가함에 따라 감소하다가 x=0.58 부근에서 영에 가까워진 후 다시 증가하여 x=0.77 이상에서는 거의 일정한 값을 나타냇다. 이것은 페로자성인 MnPt3(x=0)에 Cr을 치환하며, Cr의 자기모멘트가 Mn과 반강자성적으로 결합하여포화자화가 감소하다가 Cr 치환량이 더욱 증가하면 Cr의 기여가 지배적이 되어 다시 증가하기 때문으로 생각된다. MnPt3의 경우에는 자화용이축이 막면에 평행이었으며, Cr 치환량이 증가합에 따라 수직자기이방성이 증가하여 x=0.58 이상에서는 수직자화막이 얻어졌다. 또한, 이 영역에서 Cr 치환량이 증가함에 따라 보자력도 증가하여 x=0.58 이상에서는 수직자화막이 얻어졌다. 또한, 이 영역에서 Cr 치환량이 증가함에 따라 보자력도 증가하여 CrPt3의 경우에는 약 4 kOe의 큰 값을 나타냈다. Cr 치환량에 따른 커 회전각의 변화 추이는 포화지화의 변화 추이와 경향이 유사했다. x=0.77과 x=1의 경우에는 근적외선 영역에서의 커 회전각이 기존의 광자기기록매체인 TbFeCo를 능가했다.

코발트 니켈 합금형 실리사이드 공정에서 단결정실리콘과 다결정실리콘 기판에 자연산화막이 있는 경우 나노급 두께의 코발트 니켈 합금 금속을 증착하고 실리사이드화하는 경우의 반응 안정성을 확인하였다. 4인치 P-type(100)Si 기판 전면에 poly silicon을 입힌 기판과 single silicon 상태의 두 종류 기판을 준비하고 두께 4 nm의 자연산화막이 있는 상태에서 10 nm 코발트 니켈 합금을 니켈의 상대조성을 $10{\sim}90%$로 달리하며 열증착하였다. 통상의 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, $1100^{\circ}C$ 각 온도에서 실리사이드화 열처리를 시행 후 잔류 합금층을 제거하고, XRD(X-ray diffraction)및 FE-SEM(Field emission scanning electron microscopy), AES(Auger electron spectroscopy)를 사용하여 실리사이드가 생겼는지 확인하였다. 마이크로라만 분석기로 실리사이드 반응시의 실리콘 층의 잔류 스트레스도 확인하였다. 자연산화막이 존재하는 경우 실리사이드 반응이 진행되지 않았고, 폴리실리콘 기판과 고온에서는 금속과 산화층의 반응잔류물이 생성되었다. 단결정 기판의 고온열처리에서는 실리사이드 반응이 없더라도 핀홀이 발생할 수 있는 정도의 열스트레스가 존재하였다. 코발트 니켈 복합실리사이드 공정에서는 자연산화막을 제거하는 공정이 필수적이었다.

The microstructural characteristics and low temperature tensile properties between $25^{\circ}C$ and $-196^{\circ}C$ for as-welded and age hardened specimen by using Al 5083-H321 for base metal, 5083-5356 and 5083-4043 weldments have been investigated. The hardness of 5083-5356 weldment decreases with aging treatment, whereas the weld region of 5083-4043 weldment shows remarkable increase in hardness after aging due to the precipitation of fine Si particle at the grain boundaries and interiors. Low temperature tensile properties of 5083 AI base metal, 5083-5356 and 5083-4043 weldments appear to be the increment of tensile strengths and elongations at the room temperature and $-196^{\circ}C$, while the decrement of tensile properties around $-50^{\circ}C$ is shown. Through the observation of fine serration to fracture in the stress-strain curve and tensile fractography, the increment of localized deformation leading to promote the neck initiation and the increment of the dimple size cause to decrease in tensile strengths and elongations around $-50^{\circ}C$. For the tensile specimen of the 5083 base metal, 5083-5356 and 5083-4043 weldments, the reason to increase in elongation after solution and aging treatment is the diminishment of fine pit, the resolution of Mg into the matrix and the spheridization of the eutectic Si.

PURPOSE. This study aimed to present the clinical applicability of restorations fabricated by a new method, by comparing the bond strength of between ceramic powder with different coefficient of thermal expansion and alloys fabricated by Selective laser sintering (SLS). MATERIALS AND METHODS. Fifty Co-Cr alloy specimens ($25.0{\times}3.0{\times}0.5mm$) were prepared by SLS and fired with the ceramic ($8.0{\times}3.0{\times}0.5mm$) (ISO 9693:1999). For comparison, ceramics with different coefficient of thermal expansion were used. The bond strength was measured by three-point bending testing and surfaces were observed with FE-SEM. Results were analyzed with a one-way ANOVA (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. The mean values of Duceram Kiss ($61.18{\pm}6.86MPa$), Vita VM13 ($60.30{\pm}7.14MPa$), Ceramco 3 ($58.87{\pm}5.33MPa$), Noritake EX-3 ($55.86{\pm}7.53MPa$), and Vintage MP ($55.15{\pm}7.53MPa$) were found. No significant difference was observed between the bond strengths of the various metal-ceramics. The surfaces of the specimens possessed minute gaps between the additive manufactured layers. CONCLUSION. All the five powders have bond strengths higher than the required 25 MPa minimum (ISO 9693); therefore, various powders can be applied to metal structures fabricated by SLS.

In order to increase the extrusion production speed of aluminum, extrusion die cooling technology using liquid nitrogen has recently attracted a lot of attention. Increasing the extrusion speed increases the temperature of the bearing area of extrusion dies and the extrusion profile, which may cause defects on the surface of extruded profile. Extrusion die cooling technology is to directly inject liquid nitrogen through a cooling channel formed between the die and the backer inside the die-set. The liquid nitrogen removes heat from the die-set, and gaseous nitrogen at the exit of the channel, covers the extrusion profile of an inert atmosphere reducing the oxidation and the profile temperature. The aim of this study is to evaluate the cooling capacity by applying die cooling to extrusion of Al-Mn-based aluminum alloy flat tubes, and to investigate the effects of die cooling on the change in extrusion characteristics of flat tubes. Cooling capacity was confirmed by observing the temperature change of the extrusion profile depending on whether or not die cooling is applied. To observe changes in material characteristics due to die cooling, surface observation is conducted and microstructure and precipitate analysis are performed by FE-SEM on the surface and longitudinal cross section of the extruded flat tubes.

We have grown vertically aligned carbon nanotubes in a large area of Co-Ni codeposited Si substrates by the thermal CVD using $C_2H_2$ gas. Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes, Synthesis of carbon nanotubes for mass production has been achieved by several methods such as laser vaporization arc discharge, and pyrolysis. In particular, growth of vertically aligned nanotubes is of technological importance for applications to FED. Recently, vertically aligned carbon nanotubes have been grown on glass by PECVD Aligned carbon nanotubes can be also grown on mesoporous silica and Fe patterned porous silicon using CVD. Despite such breakthroughs in the growth, the growth mechanism of the alignment are still far from being clearly understood. Furthermore, FED has not been clearly demonstrated yet at a practical level. Here, we demonstrate that carbon nanotubes can be vertically aligned on catalyzed Si substrate when the domain density reaches a certain value. We suggest that steric hindrance between nanotubes at an initial stage of the growth forces nanotubes to align vertically and then nanotubes are further grown by the cap growth mechanism.

Commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) and Ti-6Al-4V alloys have been widely used in implant materials such as dental and orthopedic implants due to their corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and good mechanical properties. However, surface modification of titanium and titanium alloys is necessary to improve osseointegration between implant surface and bone. Especially, when titanium oxide nanotubes are formed on the surface of titanium alloy, cell adhesion is greatly improved. In addition, plasma electrolytic oxide (PEO) coatings have a good safety for osseointegration and can easily and quickly form coatings of uniform thickness with various pore sizes. Recently, the effects of bone element such as magnesium, zinc, strontium, silicon, and manganese for bone regeneration are researching in dental implant field. The purpose of this study was researched on the surface morphology of PEO-treated Ti-6Al-4V alloy after anodic titanium oxide treatmentusing various instruments. Ti-6Al-4V ELI disks were used as specimens for nanotube formation and PEO-treatment. The solution for the nanotube formation experiment was 1 M $H_3PO_4$ + 0.8 wt. % NaF electrolyte was used. The applied potential was 30V for 1 hours. The PEO treatment was performed after removing the nanotubes by ultrasonics for 10 minutes. The PEO treatment after removal of the nanotubes was carried out in the $Ca(CH_3)_2{\cdot}H_2O+(CH_3COO)_2Mg{\cdot}4H_2O+Mn(CH_3COO)_2{\cdot}4H_2O+Zn(CH_3CO_2)_2Zn{\cdot}2H_2O+Sr(CH_2COO)_2{\cdot}0.5H_2O+C_3H_7CaO_6P$ and $Na_2SiO_3{\cdot}9H_2O$ electrolytes. And the PEO-treatment time and potential were 3 minutes at 280V. The morphology changes of the coatings on Ti-6Al-4V alloy surface were observed using FE-SEM, EDS, XRD, AFM, and scratch tester. The morphology of PEO-treated surface in 5 ion coating solution after nanotube removal showed formation or nano-sized mesh and micro-sized pores.

The cathodic hydrogen evolution ability of different pure metals and their long term galvanic corrosion behavior with pure Mg were investigated. The hydrogen evolution ability of pure Ti, Al, Sn and Zr is weak, while that of Fe, W, Cr, and Co is very strong. Initial polarization test could not completely reveal the cathodic behavior of the tested metals during long term corrosion. The cathodic hydrogen evolution ability may vary significantly in the long term galvanic tests for different metals, especially for Al whose cathodic current density reduced to 1/50 of the initial value. The anodic polarization shows that Al and Sn as alloying elements are supposed to provide relatively good passive effect for Mg alloy, while Ag can provide a slight passive effect and Zn has little passive effect.

Fine diamond powders are synthesized with a 420 ${\phi}$ cubic press and stack-cell composed of Kovar ($Fe_{54}Ni_{29}Co_{17}$) (or Kovar+7 ${\mu}m$-thick Zn electroplated) alloy and graphite disks. The high pressure high temperature (HPHT) process condition was executed at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 280 seconds by varying the nominal pressure of 5.7~10.6 GPa. The density of formation, size, shape, and phase of diamonds are determined by optical microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis-differential thermal ammnlysis (TGA-DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and micro-Raman spectroscopy. Through the microscopy analyses, we found that 1.5 ${\mu}m$ super-fine tetrahedral diamonds were synthesized for Zn coated Kovar cell with whole range of pressure while ~3 ${\mu}m$ super-fine diamond for conventional Kovar cell with < 10.6 GPa. Based on $750^{\circ}C$ exothermic reaction of diamonds in TGA-DTA, and characteristic peaks of the diamonds in XRD and micro-Raman analysis, we could confirm that the diamonds were successfully formed with the whole pressure range in this research. Finally, we propose a new process for super-fine diamonds by lowering the pressure condition and employing Zn electroplated Kovar disks.
