Methods to determine L-dopa(L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) in aqueous solution by spectrofluorimetry based upon the ligand sensitized luminescence of Tb(III) ion L-dopa complex have been studied. Tb(III) ion and Lu(III) ion were used as ligand sensitized fluorescencer and co-fluorescence enhancer, respectively. The effects of excitation wavelength, pH, concentration of Tb(III) ion, concentration of Lu(III) ion and emission wavelength on the fluorescence intensity were investigated. The fluorescence intensity of the Tb(III) ion L-dopa complex was further increased with addition of Lu(III) ion. The calibration curve for L-dopa was linear over the range from 5.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-7}$ M to 1.0${\times}$ $10^{-4}$ M and the detection limit was 4.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-8}$ M under the optimal experimental conditions of 300 nm, 8.0, 1.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-4}$ M and 545 nm for excitation wavelength, pH, concentration of Tb(III) ion and emission wavelength, respectively. When Lu(III) ion was added to Tb(Ⅲ) ion L-dopa complex, the concentration range of linear response and detection limit were 1.0${\times}$$10^{-8}$ M to 2.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-4}$ M and 1.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-9}$ M, respectively under the optimal experimental conditions of 300 nm, 8.5, 1.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-5}$ M, 1.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-5}$ M, 545 nm for excitation wavelength, pH, concentration of Tb(III) ion, concentration of Lu(III) ion and emission wavelength, respectively.

Inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching of CoTb and CoZrNb magnetic materials with the photoresist mask was performed using $Cl_2/Ar$ and $C_2F_6/Ar$ gas mixtures and characterized in terms of etch rate and etch profile. As the concentrations of $Cl_2$ and $C_2F_6$ gases increased, the etch rates of magnetic films decreased and the etch slopes became slanted. The $Cl_2/Ar$ gas was more effective in obtaining fast etch rate and steep sidewall slope than the $C_2F_6/Ar$ gas. As the coil rf power and dc bias increased, fast etch rate and steep etch slope were obtained but the redeposition on the sidewall was observed. This is due to the increase of ion and radical densities in plasma with increasing the coil rf power and the increase of incident ion energy to the substrate with increasing the dc bias voltage. By applying high density reactive ion etching to magnetic tunnel junction stack containing various magnetic films and metal oxide, steep etch slope and clean etch profile without redeposition were obtained.

The microstructure and electrical properties of the $Pr_6O_{11}$-based ZnO varistor ceramics, which are composed of Zn-Pr-Co-Cr-Tb oxides, were investigated with $Tb_4O_7$ amount. The varistor ceramics exhibited very high densification based on increasing density in the range of $5.73{\sim}5.85g/cm^3$ as $Tb_4O_7$ amount is increased. The calculated nonlinear exponent( ${\alpha}$ ) in varistor ceramics without $Tb_4O_7$ was only 8.9, whereas the ${\alpha}$ value of the varistor ceramics with $Tb_4O_7$ was abruptly increased in the range of 18.6 to 42.0. In particular, the maximum value(42.0) of ${\alpha}$ was obtained by doping of 1.0 mol% $Tb_4O_7$. The measured leakage current($I_{\ell}$) in varistor ceramics without $Tb_4O_7$ was $40.1{\mu}A$, whereas the $I{\ell}$ value of the varistors with $Tb_4O_7$ was very abruptly decreased below $5{\mu}A$. It is estimated that $Tb_4O_7$ additives will is applied usefully in development of varistors possessing high performance.

The microstructure and electrical properties of Zn-Pr-Co-Cr-Tb oxide-based varistors were investigated for different $Tb_4O_7$ amounts. As the $Tb_4O_7$ amount increased, the average grain size decreased from 7.7 to $4.8{\mu}m$ and the sintered density increased from 5.73 to $5.84g/cm^3$. As the $Tb_4O_7$ amount increased, the varistor voltage increased from 280.9 to 715.8V/mm and the nonlinear coefficient increased from 26.4 to 44.4. It is assumed that these varistors can be applied for high power with compact size.

In this paper, weldability and formability of Tailored-Blank (TB) and the structural impact testing of bump beam were investigated to apply TB to automobile bumper beam. The optimal $CO_2$ laser welding condition for TB of SPFC and SPRC steel plates with different thicknesses was obtained. Before welding, the cross section of butt joint was prepared only by shearing without milling process. Real type bump beam was produced by two kind of forming processes such as roll-forming and press-forming, and the good formability of TB was obtained. Impact test results of bump by using pendulum and barrier were satisfied the impact regulation of bump. Finally. It may be confirmed that laser welded TB is well-balanced material in both weight reduction and production cost of automobile bump.

Solvent extraction behavior of light rare earth elements (Pr, Nd) and medium rare erath elements (Tb, Dy) in the HCl-PC88A-kerosene extraction system was investigated in order to separate high-purity light rare earths (Pr, Nd) and medium rare earths (Tb, Dy) in the mixed rare earth chloride solution. In the batch test step, it was confirmed that the separation efficiency was good when the extractant concentration (PC88A) was 0.5 M, the equilibrium pH after extraction was 0.8 to 1.0 (initial pH 1.3 of the feed), the concentrations of hydrochloric acid in scrubbing solution was set as 0.1 M, the concentrations of hydrochloric acid in stripping solution was set as 2.0 M or more. Based on the experimental data obtained from the batch test, the mixer-settler was composed as follows; 4 stages of extraction, 8 stages of scrubbing, 4 stages of stripping, and 3 stages of pickling organic solution. The Mixer-settler was operated for 180 hours, and the operating conditions were continuously adjusted to obtain the high-purity light/medium rare earths. Finally, the purity of light (Pr, Nd) and medium rare earth elements (Tb, Dy) was reached as 3 N class.

We have evaluated the ferroelectric and electrical properties of pure $BiFeO_3$ (BFO) and $Bi_{0.9}A_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}V_{0.025}O_{3+{\alpha}}$ (A=Nd, Tb) thin films on $Pt(111)/Ti/SiO_2/Si(100)$ substrates by using a chemical solution deposition method. The remnant polarization ($2P_r$) of the $Bi_{0.9}Tb_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}V_{0.025}O_{3+{\alpha}}$ (BTFVO) thin film was approximately $65{\mu}C/cm^2$, with a maximum applied electric field of 950 kV/cm and a frequency of 10 kHz, where as that of the $Bi_{0.9}Nd_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}V_{0.025}O_{3+{\alpha}}$ (BNFVO) thin film was approximately $37{\mu}C/cm^2$ with a maximum applied electric field of 910 kV/cm. The leakage current density of the co-doped BNFVO thin film was four orders of magnitude lower than that of the pure BFO thin film, at $2.75{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^2$ with an applied electric field of 100 kV/cm. The grain size and uniformity of the co-doped BNFVO and BTFVO thin films were improved, in comparison to the pure BFO thin film, through structural modificationsdue to the co-doping with Nd and Tb.

Rare earth elements(REEs) have been used as an useful tool in understanding the various geological processes such as evolution and differentiation in the crust. The REEs also have been used as an analog of actinides for radioactive wastes at the water-rock interactions. Using physicochemical properties of the REEs and actinides, we have shown that Eu is an optimum analogue for understanding the behavior of Am in subsurface environments. Factors affecting sorption behavior of radioactive nuclides in groundwater were investigated by batch experiments. Four nuclides such as $^{241}Am,\;^{152}Eu,\;^{160}Tb\;and\;^{60}Co$ were selected to test our hypothesis, and $^{160}Tb$ and $^{60}Co$ were specifically used to compare to the sorption behavior between $^{241}Am-^{152}Eu$ and other radioactive nuclides. Four different rock samples and one groundwater were used in the batch experiments where solution pH for all experiments was fixed at 5.5. Our results demonstrate that $^{241}Am,\;^{152}Eu,\;and\;^{160}Tb$ show similar sorption behavior whereas $^{60}Co$ is different in sorption behavior at the mineral-water interface, suggesting that the sorption behavior of $^{60}Co$ is affected by different rock types. Our results also show that 1) Eu in REEs is optimum analogue of fate and transport of Am in subsurface environments, and 2) mineral compositions such as $SiO_2,\;TiO_2,\;P_2O_5$ and distribution of REEs such as Eu anomaly play key roles in affecting sorption behavior of radioactive nuclides even though physicochemical properties of geological materials such as specific surface area and cation exchange capacity can not be ruled out.
