The metal-manufacturing method and smelting temperature of ancient metal-production processes have been studied by analyzing the principal elements and microstructures of slag. However, the microstructure of slag varies according to the solidification cooling rate and types and relative amounts of various oxides contained within the smelting materials. Hence, there is a need for accurate analysis methods that allow slag to be distinguished by more than its composition or microstructure. In this study, the microstructures of slag discharged as a result of smelting iron sands collected from Pohang and Gyeongju, as well as the slag excavated from the Ungyo site in Wanju, were analyzed by using metalloscopy, scanning election microscopy-energy dispersine X-ray spectroscopy(SEM-EDS) and wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorenscence(WD-XRF). Furthermore, the microcrystals were accurately characterized by performing Raman micro-spectroscopy, which is a technique that can be used to identify the microcrystals of slags. SEM-EDS analysis of Pohang slag indicated that its white polygonal crystals could be Magnetite; however, Raman micro-spectroscopy revealed that these crystals were actually $ulv{\ddot{o}}spinel$. Raman micro-spectroscopy and SEM-EDS were also used to verify that the coarse white dendritic structures observed in the Gyeongju-slag were $W{\ddot{u}}stites$. Additionally, the Wanju slag was observed to have a glassy matrix, which was confirmed by Raman micro-spectroscopy to be Augite. Thus, we have demonstrated that Raman micro-spectroscopy can accurately identify slag microcrystals, which are otherwise difficult to distinguish as solely based on their chemical composition and crystal morphology. Therefore, we conclude that it has excellent potential as a slag analysis technique.

Zr alloy specimens were coated with Cr-Al alloy to enhance their resistance to oxidation. The coated samples were oxidized at 1200 ℃ in a steam environment for 300 s and showed extremely low oxidation when compared to uncoated Zr alloy specimens. The microstructure and elemental distribution of the oxides formed on the surface of Cr-Al alloys have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A very thin protective layer of Cr₂O₃ formed on the outer surface of the Cr-Al alloy, and a thin Al₂O₃ layer was also observed in the Cr-Al alloy matrix, near the surface. Our results suggest that these two oxide layers near the surface confers excellent oxidation resistance to the Cr-Al alloy. Even after exposure to a high temperature of 1200 ℃, inter-diffusion between the Cr-Al alloy and the Zr alloy occurred in very few regions near the interface. Analysis of the inter-diffusion layer by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) measurement confirmed its identity as Cr₂Zr.

Indium tin oxide(ITO) surface treated by Oxygen plasma has been in situ analyzed using XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and EDS(Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy), to investigate the relations between the properties of the ITO surface and the properties of OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode). We measured electrical resistivity using Four-Point-Probe and calculated sheet resistance, and ITO surface roughness was measured by AFM(Atomic Force Microscope). We fabricated OLED using substrate that was treated optimum ITO surface. The plasma treatment of the ITO surface lowered the operating voltage of the OLED. We have obtained an improvement of luminance and decrease of turn-on voltage.

In this study, the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of carbon nanomaterials and synthesized nano-carbon/Si composites were studied. The nano-carbon/Si composites were ball-milled to a nano size and coated with pyrolytic carbon using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). They were then finely mixed with respective nano-carbon materials. The physicochemical properties of samples were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and surface area analyzer. The electrochemical characteristics were investigated using the galvanostatic charge-discharge and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. Three-electrode cells were fabricated using the carbon nanomaterials and nano-carbon/Si composites as anode materials and LiPF₆ and LiClO₄ as electrolytes of Li secondary batteries. Reversibility using LiClO₄ as an electrolyte was superior to that of LiPF₆ as the electrolyte. The initial discharge capacities of nano-carbon/Si composites were increased compared to the initial discharge capacities of nano-carbon materials.

Zn/HA coating on the Ti-xNb alloys after nanotube formation for dental lmplant was researched using various experimental methods. Due to g ood biocompatibility and osteoconductivity, hydroxyapatite (HA) coating s on metallic biomedical implants were widely employed in orthopedic and dental applications. To improve biocompatibilities, Zinc (Zn) plays very important roles in the bone formation and immune reg ulations. The nanotube formed Zn-HA films were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).

본 연구에서는 리튬 2차 전지의 양극물질 중 하나인 Li-Mn spinel ($LiMn_2O_4$)을 합성하기 위해 전구체로 K-Birnessite ($K_xMnO_2{\cdot}{yH_2O}$)를 이용하였다. K-Birnessite는 과망간산칼륨[$KMnO_4$]과 우레아[$CO(NH_2)_2$]를 사용하여 수열합성법으로 합성하였고, K-Birnessite와 LiOH를 수열 반응시켜 Li-Mn spinel 나노입자를 제조하였다. 리튬함량에 따른 Li-Mn spinel 의 구조 및 형상 변화와 전기화학적 특성에 대한 경향성을 알아보기 위해 LiOH와 K-Birnessite의 몰 비를 조절하여 Li-Mn spinel를 합성하였다. 합성된 분말은 X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), thermogravimetry (TG)를 이용하여 물질의 구조 및 형상을 분석하였고, 정전류법으로 양극재의 용량과 율 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 LiOH/K-Birnessite의 몰 비가 0.8일 때 가장 큰 용량($117\;mAhg^{-1}$)을 나타냈고, 몰 비가 증가할수록 Li-Mn spinel 중 리튬함량이 증가하여 용량은 감소하였으나, 입자크기는 작아져서 율 특성은 점점 향상되는 경향을 보였다.

Purpose: This study aimed to produce resin prosthetics using a dental barrel finishing machine. For dental resin grinding, the ingredients of the barrel finishing media were analyzed, and surface residues of the resin were observed. Methods: Two types of barrel finishing media for dental resin grinding were tested. Specimens were made from thermal polymerized, auto polymerized, and photopolymerized resins. Finishing media were analyzed through energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) component analysis and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) component analysis. Then, the prepared specimen was barrel finished for 25 minutes using two types of barrel finishing media, and scanning electron microscope was photographed to observe the surface residues. Results: As a result of EDS component analysis, both types of finishing media were analyzed for the components of C, O, Zr and Al elements, and industry media (IM) was further analyzed for the components of Si and Mg elements. In the ICP-OES component analysis, Cd and As, which are harmful elements, were detected in IM, and no harmful elements were detected in manufacturing media (MM). Because of observation of surface residues, no residues were observed in the three types of resin specimens that were barrel finished with two types of finishing media. Conclusion: Surface residue wasn't observed on the specimens polished using two types of finishing media. However, in IM, Cd and As, which are harmful elements, were detected, making it inappropriate for clinical use. In MM, harmful elements were not detected; therefore, clinical use will be possible.
