A new method to semicontinuously determine $PM_{2.5}$ ionic species with a short time resolution is described in detail. In this system, a particle collection section (mixing part, particle collection chamber, and air/liquid separator) was developed. A Y-type connector was used to mix steam and an air sample. The particle collection chamber was constructed in the form of a helix coil and was cooled by a water circulation system. Particle size growth occurred due to the high relative humidity and water absorbed particles were efficiently collected in it. Liquid samples were drained out with a short residence time (0.08-0.1 s). The air/liquid separator was also newly designed to operate efficiently when the flow rate of the air sample was 16.7 L $min^{-1}$. For better performance, the system was optimized for particle collection efficiency with various types of test aerosols such as ($NH_4)_2SO_4,\;NaCl,\;NH_4HSO_4,\;and\;NH_4NO_3$. The particle collection efficiencies were almost 100% at different concentration levels in the range over 500 nm in diameter but 50-90% in the range of 50-500 nm under the following experimental conditions: 15 coil turns, a water flow rate for steam generation of 0.65 mL $min^{-1}$, and an air sample flow rate of 16.7 L $min^{-1}$. Finally, for atmospheric applications, chemical compositions of $PM_{2.5}$ were determined with a time resolution of 20 min on January 11-24, 2006 in Seoul, Korea, and the chemical characteristics of $PM_{2.5}$ ions were investigated.

In recent years, solid-state Li metal batteries (SSLBs) have attracted significant attention as the next-generation batteries with high energy and power densities. However, uncontrolled dendrite growth and the resulting pulverization of Li during repeated plating/stripping processes must be addressed for practical applications. Herein, we report a plastic-crystal-based polymer/ceramic composite solid electrolyte (PCCE) to resolve these issues. To fabricate the one-side ceramic-incorporated PCCE (CI-PCCE) film, a mixed precursor solution comprising plastic-crystal-based polymer (succinonitrile, SN) with garnet-structured ceramic (Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂, LLZO) particles was infused into a thin cellulose membrane, which was used as a mechanical framework, and subsequently solidified by using UV-irradiation. The CI-PCCE exhibited good flexibility and a high room-temperature ionic conductivity of over 10^-3 S cm^-1. The Li symmetric cell assembled with CI-PCCE provided enhanced durability against Li dendrite penetration through the solid electrolyte (SE) layer than those with LLZO-free PCCEs and exhibited long-term cycling stability (over 200 h) for Li plating/stripping. The enhanced Li⁺ transference number and lower interfacial resistance of CI-PCCE indicate that the ceramic-polymer composite layer in contact with the Li anode enabled the uniform distribution of Li⁺ flux at the interface between the Li metal and CI-PCCE, thereby promoting uniform Li plating/stripping. Consequently, the Li//LiFePO₄ (LFP) full cell constructed with CI-PCCE demonstrated superior rate capability (~120 mAh g^-1 at 2 C) and stable cycle performance (80% after 100 cycles) than those with ceramic-free PCCE.

일방향응고 초내열합금 CM247LC의 응고조건에 따른 조직과 기계적 특성을 고찰하기 위해 초기 응고조건을 인위적으로 변화시켜 일방향응고를 진행하였다. 초기 응고 조건은 알루미나 판의 삽입, 접종재의 삽입, Ni foil의 삽입과 냉각판에 직접 주입 등으로 조절하였으며, 이에 따라 초기 결정립의 수의 많은 차이를 보였으며 응고방향과 평행으로 성장하는 결정립의 형태 및 γ' 석출상의 크기 등에서도 많은 차이를 보였다. 냉각속도가 빠른 용탕의 냉각판에 직접 주입한 경우 많은 결정립, 미세한 γ'상 및 γ-γ'공정상 등이 나타났다. 빠른 냉각은 고체/액체 사이의 온도구배를 증가시켜 일방향응고 후 1차 수지상 간격을 미세하게 함으로써 우수한 인장특성을 갖게 하였다.

본 연구에서는 $TiCl_4$ 투입시간의 효과가 $TiCl_4$ and Mg의 주어진 중량비율에서 Kroll반응에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 그리고 환원반응은 $TiCl_4$ 투입시간에 따라 온도변화를 측정하고, 반응 후 Ti 스폰지 단면과 외관을 관찰함으로써 조사되었다. Kroll 반응열 생성에 의한 온도 증분은 $TiCl_4$ 투입속도에 직선적으로 비례하는 것으로 파악되었다. $TiCl_4$ 투입시간과 환원조 온도 그래프를 보면, 초기 온도 피크가 주입조건에 무관하게 모두 관찰되었다. 이는 초기 Kroll 반응후 $MgCl_2$ 형성으로 인한 일시적인 반응 중단을 의미하는 것으로 해석된다. 또한 스폰지 단면을 관찰해보면, 구형 Mg 입자상이 $MgCl_2$ 내부에 다량으로 관찰되었다. 우리는 이것이 지속적인 Kroll 반응이 일어나도록 미반응 Mg 표면을 계속적으로 공급하는 과정이라 추론할 수 있다. 주사전자현미경으로 스폰지 외형을 관찰한 결과는 Kroll 반응된 Ti 입자들의 합체나 성장이 냉각속도에 의해 제어될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

This study utilized a discrete element method (DEM) simulation, as one of the virtual field trials, to predict the impact of tillage depth on the rotary blade shaft during rotavator tilling. The virtual field for the simulation was generated according to soil properties observed in an actual field. Following the generation of particles for the virtual field, a sequence of calibration steps followed to align the mechanical properties more closely with those of real soil. Calibration was conducted with a focus on bulk density and shear torque, resulting in calibration errors of just 0.02% for bulk density and 0.52% for shear torque. The prediction of the load on a rotary tiller's blade shaft involved a three-pronged approach, considering shaft torque, draft force, and vertical force. In terms of shaft torque, the values exhibited significant increases of 42.34% and 36.91% for every 5-centimeter increment in tillage depth. Similarly, the vertical force saw substantial growth by 40.41% and 36.08% for every 5-centimeter increment. In contrast, the variation in draft force based on tillage depth was comparatively lower at 18.49% and 0.96%, indicating that the effect of tillage depth on draft force was less pronounced than its impact on shaft torque and vertical force. From a perspective of agricultural machinery research, this study provides valuable insights into the DEM soil modeling process, accounting for changes in soil properties with varying tillage depths. These findings are expected to be instrumental in future agricultural machinery design studies.

21세기에 접어들면서 IT, BT, NT, ET 등 첨단 산업은 하루가 다르게 발전하고 있으며, 이러한 추세에 맞추어 시멘트 산업에서도 많은 변화가 진행되고 있다. 또한 시멘트 산업은 에너지 다소비형이며 석회석을 원료로 하고 있어 지구온난화의 주범인 $CO_2$를 배출하여, 환경문제로 인해 가까운 시기에 큰 어려움을 겪을 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 시멘트 제조과정 중 소성과정에서의 $CO_2$ 발생을 방지하고, 나노 크기의 입자를 시멘트화 함으로써 구조적 치밀성을 유지하여, 고강도화내구성에 유리한 건설재료를 개발하기 위한 일환으로 기존 소성과정을 통한 시멘트 제조방식과 달리, 화학적 방법을 통해 Bottom-up 방식으로 나노 크기의 새로운 개념의 건설재료를 개발하는데 그 목적이 있다. 시멘트 화학성분비에 착안하여 실리카, 알루미나 그리고 Ca 이온을 주재료로, 인공적으로 나노시멘트 분말을 합성하여 입도분석, SEM, EDX를 통해 그 재료적 특성을 파악하고, 모르타르를 제조하여, 강도특성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 평균 168 nm 크기의 나노 입자를 제조 할 수 있었으며, 적정 배합비의 모르타르의 7일 압축강도가 53.9 MPa로 측정되는 등 충분히 건설용 재료로서의 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었으나, 건설 분야로 응용을 위한 기초연구로써 보다 많은 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The promise of nano-crystalites (nc) as a technological material, for applications including display backplane, and solar cells, may ultimately depend on tailoring their behavior through doping and crystallinity. Impurities can strongly modify electronic and optical properties of bulk and nc semiconductors. Highly doped dopant also effect structural properties (both grain size, crystal fraction) of nc-Si thin film. As discussed in several literatures, P atoms or radicals have the tendency to reside on the surface of nc. The P-radical segregation on the nano-grain surfaces that called self-purification may reduce the possibility of new nucleation because of the five-coordination of P. In addition, the P doping levels of ${\sim}2{\times}10^{21}\;at/cm^3$ is the solubility limitation of P in Si; the solubility of nc thin film should be smaller. Therefore, the non-activated P tends to segregate on the grain boundaries and the surface of nc. These mechanisms could prevent new nucleation on the existing grain surface. Therefore, most researches shown that highly doped nc-thin film by using conventional PECVD deposition system tended to have low crystallinity, where the formation energy of nucleation should be higher than the nc surface in the intrinsic materials. If the deposition technology that can make highly doped and simultaneously highly crystallized nc at low temperature, it can lead processes of next generation flexible devices. Recently, we are developing a novel CVD technology with a neutral particle beam (NPB) source, named as neutral beam assisted CVD (NBaCVD), which controls the energy of incident neutral particles in the range of 1~300eV in order to enhance the atomic activation and crystalline of thin films at low temperatures. During the formation of the nc-/pm-Si thin films by the NBaCVD with various process conditions, NPB energy directly controlled by the reflector bias and effectively increased crystal fraction (~80%) by uniformly distributed nc grains with 3~10 nm size. In the case of phosphorous doped Si thin films, the doping efficiency also increased as increasing the reflector bias (i.e. increasing NPB energy). At 330V of reflector bias, activation energy of the doped nc-Si thin film reduced as low as 0.001 eV. This means dopants are fully occupied as substitutional site, even though the Si thin film has nano-sized grain structure. And activated dopant concentration is recorded as high as up to 1020 #/$cm^3$ at very low process temperature (＜ $80^{\circ}C$) process without any post annealing. Theoretical solubility for the higher dopant concentration in Si thin film for order of 1020 #/$cm^3$ can be done only high temperature process or post annealing over $650^{\circ}C$. In general, as decreasing the grain size, the dopant binding energy increases as ratio of 1 of diameter of grain and the dopant hardly be activated. The highly doped nc-Si thin film by low-temperature NBaCVD process had smaller average grain size under 10 nm (measured by GIWAXS, GISAXS and TEM analysis), but achieved very higher activation of phosphorous dopant; NB energy sufficiently transports its energy to doping and crystallization even though without supplying additional thermal energy. TEM image shows that incubation layer does not formed between nc-Si film and SiO2 under later and highly crystallized nc-Si film is constructed with uniformly distributed nano-grains in polymorphous tissues. The nucleation should be start at the first layer on the SiO2 later, but it hardly growth to be cone-shaped micro-size grains. The nc-grain evenly embedded pm-Si thin film can be formatted by competition of the nucleation and the crystal growing, which depend on the NPB energies. In the evaluation of the light soaking degradation of photoconductivity, while conventional intrinsic and n-type doped a-Si thin films appeared typical degradation of photoconductivity, all of the nc-Si thin films processed by the NBaCVD show only a few % of degradation of it. From FTIR and RAMAN spectra, the energetic hydrogen NB atoms passivate nano-grain boundaries during the NBaCVD process because of the high diffusivity and chemical potential of hydrogen atoms.
