In this work, we propose a simple but efficient method to design a target temperature trajectory for pulling speed tracking control of the crystal grower in the Czochralski crystallization process. In the suggested method, the model predictive control strategy is used to incorporate the complex dynamic effect of the heater temperature on the pulling speed into the temperature trajectory design quantitatively. The feedforward trajectories designed by the proposed method were implemented on 200 mm and 300 mm silicon crystal growers in the commercial Czochralski process. The application results have demonstrated its excellent and consistent tracking performance of pulling speed along whole bulk crystal growth.

The crystallization speed (v) of amorphous (InTe)$_x$(GeTe) (x = 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5) films and their thermal, optical and electrical behaviors have been investigated using nano-pulse scanner (wavelength = 658 nm, laser beam diameter < 2 ${\mu}m$), X-ray diffraction (XRD), 4-point probe and UV-vis-IR spectrophotometer. These results were compared with those of $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ (GST) film, comprehensively utilized for phase-change random access memory (PRAM). Both v-value and thermal stability of (InTe)$_{0.1}$(GeTe) and (InTe)$_{0.3}$(GeTe) films could be enhanced in comparison with those of the GST. Contrarily, the v-value in the (InTe)$_{0.5}$(GeTe) film was so drastically deteriorated that we could not quantitatively evaluate it. This deterioration is thought because amorphous (InTe)$_{0.5}$(GeTe) film has relatively high reflectance, resulting in too low absorption to cause the crystallization. Conclusively, it could be thought that a proper compositional (InTe)$_x$(GeTe) films (e.g., x < 0.3) may be good candidates with both high crystallization speed and thermal stability for PRAM application.

The crystallization behaviours of nanocomposite made by a function of quenching rate (roller speed) were studied. The results showed that there was one step c$\mathbb{r}$ystallization process for the alloy quenched at roller speed of 32 m/s, which could be shown as, Am (amorphouse) + ${\alpha}-Fe/Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ ${\rightarrow}$ ${\alpha}-Fe/Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ . For the alloy quenched at roller speed of 40 m/s, there was steps crystallization process taking place at different temperatures, which could be shown as, Am ${\rightarrow}$ ${\alpha}-Fe/Nd_2Fe_{23}B_3+Nd_2Fe_{14}B+Am`$ ${\rightarrow}$ ${\alpha}-Fe/Nd_2Fe_{14}B$. The presence of transition phase ($Nd_2Fe_{23}B_3$) was harmful to get fine and uniform grain size during crystallization process. Uniform microstructures and high magnetic properties could be attained for the as-quenched alloy containing less amorphous phase and no presence of transition phase during annealing treatment. For the alloy prepared at roller speed of 32 m/s, the following properties were obtained, $B_r= 0.904 T,_iH_c = 801 kA/m, (BH)_{max} = 122 kJ/m^3 and M_r/M_s = 0.6$.

High-speed melt spinning of syndiotactic polystyrene was carried out using high and low molecular weight poly­mers, HM s-PS and LM s-PS, at the throughput rates of 3 and 6 g/min. The effect of take-up velocity on the structure and properties of as-spun fibers was investigated. Wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) patterns of the as-spun fibers revealed that the orientation-induced crystallization started to occur at the take-up velocities of 2-3 km/min. The crystal modification was a-form. Birefringence of as-spun fibers showed negative value, and the absolute value of birefringence increased with an increase in the take-up velocity. The cold crystallization temperature analyzed through the differential scanning calorimetry (OSC) decreased with an increase in the take-up velocity in the low speed region, whereas as the melting temperature increased after the on-set of orientation-induced crystallization. It was found that the fiber structure development proceeded from lower take-up velocities when the spinning conditions of higher molecular weight and lower throughput rate were adopted. The highest tensile modulus of 6.5 GPa was obtained for the fibers prepared at the spinning conditions of LM s-PS, 6 g/min and 5 km/min, whereas the highest tensile strength of 160 MPa was obtained for the HM s-PS fibers at the take-up velocity of 2 km/min. Elongation at break of as-spun fibers showed an abrupt increase, which was regarded as the brittle-duc­tile transition, in the low speed region, and subsequently decreased with an increase in the take-up velocity. There was a uni­versal relation between the thermal and mechanical properties of as-spun fibers and the birefringence of as-spun fibers when the fibers were still amorphous. The orientation-induced crystallization was found to start when the birefringence reached -0.02. After the starting of the orientation-induced crystallization, thermal and mechanical properties of as-spun fibers with similar level of birefringence varied significantly depending on the processing conditions.

We report some recent results in the rewritable Blu-ray Disc with enhanced overwrite cyclability by using the growth dominant eutectic based Ge(Sb70Te30)+Sb recording layer, GeN interface layer and write strategy optimization. We have developed phase-change optical media with appropriate write strategy for 36(i.e., 1X)-72Mbps(i.e., 2X) dual speed Blu-ray Disc system and fur the future high speed optical data storage. For recording layer, eutectic-based Ge(Sb70Te30)+Sb material was used and Sb/Te ratio and Ge content were optimized to obtain proper erasability and archival stability of recorded amorphous marks. The recording layer is wrapped up in GeN interface layers to obtain overwrite cyclability and higher crystallization speed. In addition, we designed appropriate write strategy so called Time-Shifted Multipulse (TSMP) write strategy where starting position of multipulse parts are shined from reference clock. With this write strategy, the jitter characteristics of the disc was improved and we found that leading edge jitter was improved much more than trailing edge jitter in 1X-2X speed recording. Finally, we investigated the higher speed feasibility of 144Mbps(i.e., 4X) by adopting some elemental doping to the eutectic based Ag-In-Sb-Te recording layer and structural optimization of constitution layers in Blu-ray Disc. In the paper, we report the effect of Sn addition for the feasibility of higher speed recording. The addition of Sn shows increases of the crystallization speed of phase change recording layer.

Boron Nitride (BN) doped GeSbTe films were grown by the ion beam sputtering deposition (IBSD). The in-situ sheet resistance data and the x-ray diffraction patterns showed the crystallization is suppressed due to the BN incorporation. The phase change speed in BN doped GeSbTe films were investigated using the static tester equipped with nanosecond pulsed laser. The phase change speed for BN doped GST films become faster than the corresponding values for an undoped GST film. The Johnson-Mehl-Avrami(JMA) plot and Avrami coefficient for laser crystallization showed that the change in growth mode during the laser crystallization is a most important factor for the phase change speed in the BN doped GST films. The JMA results and the atomic force microscopy (AFM) images indicate that the origin of the change in the crystalline growth mode is due to an increase in the number of initial nucleation sites which is produced by the incorporated BN. In addition, the retension properties for the laser writing/erasing are remarkably improved in BN doped GeSbTe films owing to the stability of the incorporated BN.

란타늄 옥살레이트 반응성 결정화에서 교반속도, 반응물의 농도 및 주입속도 그리고 반응온도 등이 결정입자의 생성 및 성장에 미치는 영향에 대해 실험적으로 조사하였다. 일반적으로 낮은 과포화 농도에서 결정화 연구를 수행하면 현상의 분석이 비교적 분명하나 실제 결정화 공정에서와 같이 높은 과포호 농도에서는 결정화 현상이 매우 복잡하게 나타난다. 본 실험에서는 높은 농도의 염화 란타늄과 옥살산 반응물을 single-jet 반회분식 반응기에서 반응시켜 란타늄 옥살레이트의 결정화를 유도하였다. 교반속도의 증가는 란타늄 옥살레이트의 결정화 과정에서 반응물의 반응속도와 결정의 입자 성장을 촉진하는 방향으로 영향을 미치게 된다. 서로 상반되는 효과를 나타내는 두 과정 중에서 교반속도가 반응물의 반응속도에 더 많은 영향을 미침으로서 교반속도의 증가에 따라 용액의 과포화가 증가되며 따라서 결정의 평균입자 크기가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 반응물의 농도 및 주입속도의 증가에서도 이와 같은 효과에 의해 결정 입자 크기가 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 반응온도를 증가시키는 경우에는 결정 평균 입자 크기가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 실험에서 행한 조업 조건의 변화 범위내에서는 결정의 모양 변화가 나타나지 않았다.

Rewritable optical disk is one of the essential data storage media in these days, which takes advantage of the different optical properties in the amorphous and crystalline states of phase change materials. As well known, data transfer rate is one of the most important parameter of the phase change optical disks, which is mostly limited by the crystallization speed of recording media. Therefore, we doped Sn/Bi to $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ alloy in order to improve the crystallization speed and investigated the dependence of phase change characteristics on Sn/Bi doping concentration. The Sn/Bi doped $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ thin film was deposited by RF magnetron co-sputtering system and phase change characteristics were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), static tester, UV-visible spectrophotometer, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Optimum doping concentration of Bi and Sn were 5${\~}$6 at.$\%$ and the minimum time for crystallization was below than 20 ns. This improvement is correlated with the simple crystalline structure of Sn/Bi doped $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ and the reduced activation barrier arising from Sn/Bi doping. The results indicate that Sn/Bi might play an important role in the transformation kinetics of phase change materials..

과냉각된 melt-spun $Nd_{14.73}Fe_{78.67}B_{6.60}$리본의 급속응고속도 및 열처리에 따른 보자력의 변화를 조사하였으며, 이 결과를 분석하기 위하여 비정질로 부터의 결정화 거동을 연구하였다. 리본 제조시 급속응고속도가 증가함에 따라 결정화 후의 고유 보자력은 감소하였다. $Nd_{14.73}Fe_{78.67}B_{6.60}$ 비정질은 안정한 $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ 상으로 결정화하는 과정에서 $\alpha$-Fe와 $Fe_3B$ 상이 생성된다. $Fe_3B$ 상은 $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ 상이 결정화됨과 동시에 사라지나 $\alpha$-Fe 상은 완전히 결정화된 이후에도 기지상인 $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ 상과 함께 잔류한다. 열처리된 리본내에 잔류하는 연자성상인 $\alpha$-Fe에 의해 고유 보자력의 특성이 저하하였다.

본 논문에서는 L(+)-calcium lactate를 정밀 분리하기 위한 drowning-out 결정화 기술에 대해 연구하였다. Calcium lactate 결정화는 calcium lactate 수용액에 반용매를 투입하여 유도하였으며 결정화 공정에서 결정입자의 크기를 제어할 수 있는 기술을 연구하였다. 결정화 공정에서 결정입자에 영향을 주는 인자로서 반용매의 종류, 반용매의 조성 그리고 교반속도를 고려하였다. 반용매로서는 알콜류(메탄올, 에탄올, n-프로판올, i-프로판올)를 선택하였다. 결정화 실험에 앞서, 과포화도를 고려하기 위하여 물-알콜 혼합용액에서의 calcium lactate의 용해도를 측정하였다. Drowning-out 결정화에 의해 fabric 모양의 calcium lactate 결정이 석출되었는데, 에탄올의 경우 fabric이 굵고 침상에 가까운 모양이었으며, 프로판올의 경우 hairy 모양에 가까웠다. 이러한 형상 특징으로 인하여 결정이 강하게 응집하는 경향을 보였다. 응집경향은 수용액에 대한 알콜 조성이 증가할수록 증가하였다. 반면 교반은 응집된 결정입자를 파쇄하는 효과가 강하게 나타났다. 따라서 결정화를 통해 얻어지는 결정입자의 크기는 반용매에 의한 결정입자 응집과 교반에 의한 결정입자 파쇄의 상대적 강도에 의존하였다.
