ABSTRACT- we have analyzed the effect of microstructure and interface conditions on the anisotropic exchange filelds of NiO/NiFe bilayers. The NiO films were deposited by R.F. magentron sputtering. By using different atgon pressure NiO Films, Grain Size And Surface Roughness Of NiO can be manipulated. The exchange field is enhanced in the small granined NiO And This Increment Is Based On The Formation Of Small Domains In NiO

This study has been conducted to investigate the effects of initial structure on the microstructure and tensile properties of high strength trip steel sheet. The initial structure before austempering remarkably influenced the second phase. The specimen with normalized initial structure showed mainly bainitic ferrite and retained austenite, while the as rolled specimen and spherodized specimen showed martensite plus retained austenite and martensite plus bainitic ferrite with small retained austenite, respectively. Two type of retained austenite, film type and granual type were observed in all specimens. The as rolled specimen appeared the highest contents of retained austenite owing to the compressive stress by cold rolling. The contents of retained austenite increased with increasing intercritical annealing temperature and austempering time. Tensile strength showed the highest in the as rolled specimen, while the highest elongation were obtained in the normalized specimen. The maximum T.S.${\times}$El. Value showed in normalized initial structure and increased with increasing intercritical annealing and austempering time. The highest Value of T.S.${\times}$El. obtained at austempering temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ and retained austenite of 12%.

TiAl intermetallic compound was candidated for the application to the high temperature materials such as a gas turbine exhaust valve in the automobile. However, this material dose not have ductility allowing to machinability to product. To improve the ductility, many researches conduct alloy design and heat treatment methods. We observed that the microstructure of TiAl varied with Ni, Mn elements as well as a heat treatment condition. In the case of Ni element addition, the TiAlNi intermetallic compound was precipitated at the grain boundary. When the heat treatment temperature increased from $1000^{\circ}C$ to $1300^{\circ}C$, the TiAlNi intermetallic compound was uniformly dispersed on the matrix. In the case of Mn element addition, the mixed duplex structure of ${\gamma}$-TiAl and lamellar(TiAl/$Ti_3Al$) was obtained with $1250^{\circ}C$ and $1300^{\circ}C$ heat treatment for 1 hour. When the heat treatment temperature increased from $1250^{\circ}C$ to $1300^{\circ}C$, the lamellar domain of the duplex structure was transformed near-lamellar structure.

Detailed studies of high resolution TEM inages on the modulated structure caused by Zn vacancy ordering along [110] direction in BZT sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 90 hours had revealed that the images which had hexagonal patterns were similar to those obtained from the structure which had no modulation, These images had appeared over the wide ranges from -30 nm to -42 nm in defocus values and from 2 nm to 20 nm in thickness. The computer simulated images showed that the modulation due to Zn vacancy ordering had made a small change in contrast in the interior of hexagonal pattern, which was very difficult to differenciate in experiments. The image which demonstrated the modulated structure very well was the one which obtained at -52 nm in defocus value and 16 nm in thickness.

This study has been carried out to investigate the microstructure of austempered high carbon cast steel with the variation of silicon and heat treatment conditions. The results show that an lower ausferritic structure is formed at the low austemepring temperature ($250{\sim}300^{\circ}C$) and an upper ausferritic structure is formed at the high austemepring temperature ($350{\sim}400^{\circ}C$). As an austempering temperature increased, the retained austenite volume fraction increased, however hardness decreased. Also, as a silicon content increased, the precipitation of cementite was suppressed, therefore 2nd reaction of autempering transformation was delayed.

In this study, we tried to describe the quantitative model of TiN film structure which was deposited by PECVD process. The macro-grain growth behavior was studied at the various deposition pressures and times. As a result, It was confirmed that TiN films had the typical Zone 1 structure, and macro-columnar grains were, without reference to the deposition pressure, grown ballistic type by the growth-death competition following the equation, $Y=aX^2$, approximately obtained by regression analysis. Also, the thickness and the crystallization of TiN thin films were increased, the chlorine contents were decreased according to the decreasing of deposition pressure.

In this study, effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and damping capacity of hot rolled magnesium alloys was investigated. The microstructure of hot rolled magnesium consisted of dendrite structure and $Mg_{17}Al_{12}$ compounds precipitated along the grain boundry. The dendrite structure was dissipated and $Mg_{17}Al_{12}$ compounds was decomposed by annealing treatment, and then they dissolved in ${\alpha}-Mg$. With an increasing the annealing temperature and time, damping capacity was slowly increased by the growth of grain size and decreasing of defects induced by hot rolling. Two kinds of magnesium alloys AZ 31 and AZ 61 after annealing showed no difference in damping capacity.

The effect of retained and reversed austenite on the damping capacity in high manganese stainless steel with two phases of martensite and austenite was studied. The two phase structure of martensite and retained austenite was obtained by deformation for various degrees of deformation, and a two phase structure of martensite and reverse austenite was obtained by reverse annealing treatment for various temperatures after 70 % cold rolling. With the increase in the degree of deformation, the retained austenite and damping capacity rapidly decreased, with an increase in the reverse annealing temperature, the reversed austenite and damping capacity rapidly increased. With the volume fraction of the retained and reverse austenite, the damping capacity increased rapidly. At same volume of retained and reversed austenite, the damping capacity of the reversed austenite was higher than the retained austenite. Thus, the damping capacity was affected greatly by the reversed austenite.

The characteristics of copper thin films and pattern filling capability were investigated by ECD. Prior to deposition of copper film, seed-Cu/Ta(TaN)/$SIO_2$(BPSG)/Si structure was manufactured. Copper deposition was performed with various current waveforms(DC/PC, 1~10,000Hz) and current densities(10~60 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$) after pretreatment (Oxident removal, wetting) of seed-layer. Conformal pattern filling was performed using PC method with fast deposition rate of 6,000~8,000$\AA$/min. Heat-treated($450^{\circ}C$, 30min) copper films showed good resistivities of 1.8~2.1$\mu$$\Omega$.cm. According to the XRD analysis, (111)-preferred orientation of copper film was found in ECD-Cu/seed-Cu/Ta/$Sio_2$/Si structure. Also, we have successfully achieved to fill via holes with 0.35$\mu\textrm{m}$ width and 4:1 aspect ratio.

Models based on diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) have been extensively used to explore the mechanisms of dendritic particle aggregation phenomena. The physical and chemical properties of systems in which DLA aggregates emerge are given in their fractal. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study of the growth of electrodeposited copper dendrites in flat plate electrochemical cells from a fractal perspective. The effects of growth time, applied voltage, copper ion concentration, and electrolyte acidity on the morphology and fractal dimension of deposited copper were examined. 'Phase diagram' set out the variety of electrodeposited copper fractal morphology analysed by metallographic microscopy. The box counting method confirms that the electrodeposited dendritic structures manifestly exhibit fractal character. It was found that with the increase of the voltage and copper ion concentration. The fractal copper size becomes larger and its morphology shifts towards a dendritic structure, with the fractal dimension fluctuating around 1.60-1.70. In addition, the morphology of the deposited copper is significantly affected by the acidity of the electrolyte. The increase in acidity from 0.01 to 1.00 mol/L intensifies the hydrogen precipitation side reactions and the overflow path of hydrogen bubbles affects the fractal growth of copper dendrites.
