본 연구에서는 열전지용 양극활물질로 사용되는 $FeS_2$ (Pyrite) 분말을 볼밀링법으로 분쇄하여 단위전지를 제작하고, 볼밀 전, 후 입자크기변화가 열전지의 전기화학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. $450^{\circ}C$ 시험결과, 분쇄된 $1.46{\mu}m$ $FeS_2$ 분말을 사용한 단위전지가 분쇄 전 $98.4{\mu}m$의 $FeS_2$ 분말을 사용한 단위전지에 비해서 전지용량이 크게 향상되었으며, 내부저항도 감소되었다. 이러한 결과는 볼밀로 인한 비표면적 증가의 영향으로 판단된다. 반면, $500^{\circ}C$에서 방전시 1단계의 Z-phase 반응구간($FeS_2{\rightarrow}Li_3Fe_2S_4$)에서 $1.46{\mu}m$ 분말을 사용한 단위전지 전압 및 저항특성이 우수하였지만, 2단계의 J-phase 반응($Li_3Fe_2S_4{\rightarrow}LiFe_2S_4$)에서는 볼밀된 $1.46{\mu}m$ 분말을 사용한 전지의 전압이 감소하고, 전지 내부저항도 급격하게 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 현상은 $500^{\circ}C$ 방전시 미분화된 $FeS_2$가 Z-phase 영역에서 방전반응과 동시에 열분해에 의한 자가방전($FeS_2{\rightarrow}FeS_{1.14}$ (pyrrhotite))이 일어나 볼밀 전 조대한(coarsen) $FeS_2$ 분말에 비해 용량이 감소하고 내부 저항도 증가되기 때문으로 사료된다.

Iron (Fe) is an essential metal in biological processes, which maintains a homeostasis in the human body. Divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) has been known as an iron transporting membrane protein, which is involved in the uptake Fe at the apical portion of intestinal epithelium, and may transport Fe across the membrane of acidified endosome in peripheral tissues. In this study, we studied the tissue distribution of DMT1 in the Fe supplemented (FeS) diet fed rats, and the regulation of DMT1 expression by depleting body Fe. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups, and fed FeS (120 mg Fe/kg) diet or Fe deficient (FeD, 2∼6 mg Fe/kg) diet for 4 weeks. The evaluation of body Fe status was monitored by measuring sFe, UIBC and tissue Fe concentration. Additionally, DMT1 mRNA levels were analyzed in the peripheral tissues by using the quantitative real time RT-PCR method. In the FeS diet fed rats, the tissue Fe was maintained at a relatively high level, and DMT1 was eventually expressed in all tissues studied. DMT1 was highly expressed in the testis, kidney and spleen, while a moderate levels of DMT1 expression was detected in the brain, liver and heart. In the digestive system, the highest level of DMT1 was found in the duodenum. Feeding the FeD diet caused a reduced body weight gain and depletion of body Fe with finding of decreased sFe, increased UIBC and decreased tissue Fe concentration. The depletion of body Fe upregulated DMT1 expression in the peripheral tissue. The expression of DMT1 was very sensitive to the body Fe depletion in the small intestine, especially in the duodenum, showing dramatically higher levels in the FeD rats than those of the FeS group. In the FeD diet fed animals, the expression of DMT1 was low significantly in other tissues compared with the duodenum. The expression of DMT1, however, was 60∼120% higher in the testis, kidney and spleen, and 30∼50% higher in the lung, liver and heart, compared to the FeS diet fed rats. In summary, DMT1 expression was ubiquitous in mammalian tissue, and the level of expression was the organ-dependent. The expression of DMT1 in peripheral tissues was upregulated by depletion of body Fe. Duodenum was the most sensitive tissue among organs studied during Fe depletion, and expressed the greatest level of DMT1, while other tissues were less higher than in duodenum. This study supports that DMT1 plays a role in maintaining the body Fe level through intestinal uptake as well as homeostasis of Fe in the peripheral tissue.

The Fe/MgO catalysts with different Fe loadings (1, 4, 6, 15 and 30 wt% Fe) were prepared by a wet impregnation with iron nitrate as precursor. All of the catalysts were characterized by BET surface analyzer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The maximum removal capacity of $H_2S$ was obtained with 15 wt% Fe/MgO catalyst which had the highest BET surface area among the measured catalysts. XRD of Fe/MgO catalysts showed that well dispersed Fe particles could be present on Fe/MgO with Fe loadings below 15 wt%. The crystallites of bulk $\alpha$-$Fe_2O_3$ became evident on 30 wt% Fe/MgO, which were confirmed by XRD. TPR profiles showed that the reducibility of Fe/MgO was strongly related to the loaded amounts of Fe on MgO support. Therefore, the highest removal efficiency of $H_2S$ in wet oxidation could be ascribed to a good dispersion and high reducibility of Fe/MgO catalyst. XPS studies indicated that the $H_2S$ oxidation with Fe/MgO could proceed via the redox mechanism ($Fe^{3+}\;{\leftrightarrow}\;Fe^{2+}$).

FeS/FeS$_2$ minerals have been known to be potentially useful reductant to the removal of common organic contaminants in groundwater and soil. This research is aimed at improving our understanding of factors affecting the pathways and rates of reductive transformation of Hexachloroethane by catalytical iron minerals in natural system. Hexachloroethane is reduced by FeS/FeS$_2$ minerals under anaerobic condition to tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethylene with pentachloroethyl radical as the intermediate products. The kinetics of reductive transformations of the Hexachloroethane have been investigated in aqueous solution containing FeS, FeS$_2$. The proposed reduction mechanism for the adsorbed nitrobenzene involves the electron donor-acceptor complex as a precursor to electron transfer. The adsorbed Hexachloroethane undergo a series of electron transfer, proton transfer and dehydration to achieve complete reduction. It can be concluded that the reductive transformation reaction takes place at surface of iron-bearing minerals and is dependent on surface area and pH. Nitrobenzene reduction kinetics is affected by reductant type, surface area, pH, the surface site density, and the surface charge. FeS/FeS$_2$-mediated reductive dechlorination may be an important transformation pathway in natural systems.

비정질 $Co_{70.5}Fe_{4.5}Si_{15}B_{10}$층을 갖는 자기터널접합(magnetic tunneling junctions; MTJ)를 연구하였다. 비정질 자유층이 MTJ의 스위칭 특성에 미치는 영향을 중점적으로 이해하기 위하여 기존의 사용된 CoFe 그리고 NiFe층들을 대신하여 비정질 강자성체 CoFeSiB을 사용하였다. CoFeSiB은 CoFe과 NiFe보다 각각 낮은 포화자기장($M_s:\;560\;emu/cm^3$)과 높은 자기이방성 상수($K_u:\;0.2800\;erg/cm^3$)를 갖는다. CoFeSiB층들의 사이에 1.0 nm Ru층 삽입시 $-0.003\;erg/cm^3$ 교환결합에너지($J_{ex}$)를 나타내었다. $Si-SiO_2-Ta$ 45/Ru 9.5/IrMn 10/CoFe 7/$AlO_x$/CoFeSiB 7 또는 CoFeSiB (t)/Ru 1.0/CoFeSiB (7-t)/Ru 60(in nm) MTJ 구조의 터널접합에 대하여 실험 및 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여 낮은 $J_{ex}$에 기인하는 스위칭 자기장(switching field; $H_{sw}$)의 시료 크기 의존성이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. CoFeSiB 합성형 반강자성 구조는 micrometer뿐만 아니라 submicrometer 시료 크기영역에서도 보자력($H_c$)의 감소와 민감도를 증가 시킴으로써 자기 스위칭 특성에 유리한 것으로 확인 되었다.

급속응고(melt spinning)법이 Fe-Nd-C의 경우와 마찬가지로 보자력이 높은 Fe-Pr-C 합금을 얻는데에 효과적인지 알아보기 위하여, 급속응고된 Fe-Pr-C 리본에 대하여 냉각속도 및 열처리의 변화에 따른 상, 미세조직 및 자기특성의 변화를 조사하였다. 냉각속도(wheel speed)가 증가할수록 as-spun 리본의 비정질화가 증가하여 40m/s에서 제조된 리본합금은 거의 비정질화하였다. 10m/s에서 제조된 결정질 리본의 상분포는 주소상태의 상분포와 유사하여 .alpha. -Fe가 일차상, Fe$_{17}$Pr$_{2}$C$_{x}$가 이차상으로 존재하였다. 20m/s에서도 결정질이 우세하게 나타나나, 이때에는 .alpha. -Fe의 정출이 약간 억제되는 반면 Fe$_{17}$Pr$_{2}$C$_{x}$의 정출이 현저하였으며, 30m/s에서는 비정질이 우세하여 소량의 결정질만이 존재하였다. 따라서 강자성 Fe$_{14}$Pr$_{2}$C 상은 as-spun 상태에서는 존재하지 않거나 미량이었으며, 주조합금의 경우와 마찬가지로 고상변태를 통해서 얻을 수 있었다. 일반적으로 as-spun리본이 비정질화할수록 비교적 낮은 온도에서 수분의 열처리만으로 완전한 Fe$_{14}$Pr$_{2}$C 상을 얻을 수 있었으며, 결정화가 완벽할수록 Fe$_{14}$Pr$_{2}$C를 얻기 위한 열처리 시간은 증가하였다. 이와 같이 얻은 Fe$_{14}$Pr$_{2}$C는 대부분 1 .mu. m 이하의 미세한 결정립을 가지고 있었으며, as-spun 리본의 비정질화가 완벽한 경우보다 덜 완벽한 경우(30m/s) 또는 결정질과 약간의 비정질이 혼합된 경우 (20m/s)에 열처리에 의한 보자력의 향상이 뚜렷하였다. 일반적으로 변태온도 구역안에서 열처리 온도가 높을수록 10분 이하의 짧은 열처리가 보자력의 향상에 효과적이었다.이었다.

The Interfacial characteristics between various heavy metals and hydrous FeS were investigated. Heavy metals which have lower sulfide solubilities than FeS undergoes the lecttice exchange reaction when these metal tons contact FeS In the aqueous phase. For heavy metals which have higher suede solubilities than FeS, these metal ions adsorb on the surface of FeS. Such characteristic reactions were interpreted by the soled solution formation theory. The presence of ligand such as EDTA reduced largely metal removal efficiency due to formation of metal-ligand complex In the solution. In an attempt to elucidate the Interfacial characteristics, zeta potential of the hydrous FeS In the absence and In the presence of various metal loons were measured and analyzed.

四成分系 Cu-Fe-Sn-S 시스템의 相關係에 대한 합성실험에서 두 개의 固溶體 타입의 合成相$(Fe, Cu, Sn)_{1+x}S$와 $Cu_{2-y}Fe_{1+y}SnS_4$가 발견되었으며 이들은 成分四面體 내에서 CuS-FeS-SnS로 표시될 수 있는 reference面의 주위에서 안정한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 煎者는 섬아연석 結晶構造를 갖고 있는 단순황화물 고용체로서 온도함수인 금속과 유황의 비율(9.7-1.0/1.0)에 따라 광범위한 화학적 안정영역을 차지하고 있다. 또산 섬아연석 超格子중에 하나인 테트라헤드라이트 結晶構造를 갖고 있는 후자는 $Cu_2FeSnS_4$-FeS conode를 따라 렌즈型의 안정범위를 갖으나 subsolidus 범위(350${\circ}C$까지) 내에서 相轉移 현상이 없고 835-862${\circ}C$에서 不調和熔融을 한다. 위 두 개의 고용체는 온도변화에 따라 相互溶解度 그리고 관련된 각각의 합성상이 화학조성이 변화하는 소위 Incorporation-type Solid Solution이다. 특히 後者의 경우 섬아연석 subcell을 기본골격으로 하는 超格子의 특징적인 양상을 X-ray 연구에서 찾을 수 있으며 이 패턴을 초격자의 안전성이 높다는 것을 암시해 주고 물리, 화학적 특성이 stoichiometric phase $Cu_2FeSnS_4$와 相異하다.

Objectives : Iron (Fe) is an essential element in biological processes; however excessive Fe is harmful to human health. Some air pollutants contain a high level of Fe, and the human lung could therefore be over-exposed to Fe through inhaled air pollutants. This study was performed to investigate the role of metal transporters (divalent metal transporter 1, DMT1, and metal transporter protein 1, MTP1) in the lung under the environments of Fe deficiency in the body and Fe over-exposure in the lung. Methods : Rats were fed Fe deficient (FeD, 2-6 mg Fe/kg) or Fe supplemented (FeS, 120 mg Fe/kg) diet for 4 weeks, followed by a single intratracheal instillation of ferrous sulfate at low (10 mg/kg) or high (20 mg/kg) dose. Fe concentration was analyzed in the serum, lung and liver, and histopathological findings were observed in the lung at 24 hours after Fe administration. The level of DMT1 and MTP1 expression in the lung was analyzed by RT-PCR. Also, the effect of Fe deficiency in the body was evaluated on the level of Fe concentration and metal transporters compared to FeS-diet fed rats at the end of 4-week FeD or FeS diet. Results : The 4-week FeD diet in rats induced an Fe deficiency anemia with decreased serum total Fe, increased unsaturated Fe binding capacity and hypochromic microcytic red blood cells. The concentration of Fe in the lung and liver was lower in the FeD-diet fed rats than in the FeS-diet fed rats. The level of metal transporters mRNA expression was higher in the FeD-diet fed rats than in the FeS-diet. The concentration of Fe in the lung was increased in a dose-dependent pattern after intratracheal instillation of Fe into the rats, while the level of Fe in the serum and liver was not increased in the low-dose Fe administered rats. Therefore, DMT1 and MTP1 mRNA was highly expressed in both FeD-diet and FeS-diet fed rats, after intratracheal instillation of Fe. Conclusions : DMT1 and MTP1 mRNA were more highly expressed in FeD-diet fed rats than in FeS-diet fed rats. The over-exposure of Fe intratracheally induced high expression of metal transporters and increased Fe deposition in the lung in both FeD-diet and FeS-diet fed rats, but did not increase the Fe level of the serum and liver in low-dose Fe administered rats. These results suggest that the role of metal transporters in the lung might be different in a part from the duodenum under the environment of over-exposure to Fe.

Fe-(8.5, 18.5, 28.3, 36.9) wt% Cr alloys were corroded between 600 and $800^{\circ}C$ for up to 70 h in a 1 atm gas mixture that consisted of 0.0242 atm of $H_2S$, 0.031 atm of water vapor, and 0.9448 atm of nitrogen gas. Their corrosion resistance increased with an increment in the Cr content. The Fe-8.5%Cr alloy corroded fast, forming thick, fragile, nonadherent scales that consisted primarily of an outer FeS layer and an inner (Fe, Cr, O, S)-mixed layer. The outer FeS layer grew into the air by the outward diffusion of $Fe^{2+}$ ions, whereas the inner mixed layer grew by the inward diffusion of oxygen and sulfur ions. At the interface of the outer and inner scales, voids developed and cracking occurred. The Fe-(18.5, 28.3, 36.9)% Cr alloys displayed much better corrosion resistance than the Fe-8.5Cr alloy, because thin $Cr_2O_3$ or $Cr_2S_3$ scales formed.
