Rapidly solidified NdFeB powders were mixed with fine powders of pure metal elements before CA-press employed to obtain a fully dense isotropic precursor. Subsequently, the precursor was deformed by CA-deformation to obtain an anisotropic magnet. The CA-deformed anisotropic NdFeB magnets with 0.3 wt.% Zn or Sn exhibited the coercivities about 80% higher (11.4. and 11.2 kOe, respectively) than that (6.4 kOe) of the additive-free magnet.

[ $a-Fe/Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ ]기 이상나노복합합금(two-phase nanocompositie alloy)의 자기적 특성 향상을 위하여, $Nd_9Fe_{84}B_7$ 조성의 합금을 급속 응고법과 등온열처리를 이용하여 제조한 후, 공정 조건의 변화에 따른 상, 미세조직, 자기특성의 변화 등을 조사하였다. 주어진 Nd-Fe-B 삼원계 합금을 35 m/s 이상에서 급랭 응고하였을 때 완전한 비정질 합금을 얻을 수 있었으며, 최적 자기특성을 얻기 위한 적정 열처리 구역은 $700^{\circ}C$/10 - 15분, 725$^{\circ}C$/7 - 12분, $750^{\circ}C$/5 - 7분으로 조사되었다. 이 구역들에서 열처리된 합금들은 모두 매끄러운 감자곡선(demagnetization curve)을 나타내, a-Fe와 $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$사이의 교환상호결합이 잘 일어나고 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 이때 a-Fe와 $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$의 평균 입자 크기는 각각 약 10nm와 40$\~$60 nm였다. 한편 상 전개의 차이에도 불구하고 열처리 후에는 모든 합금들이 $60\%$ 이상의 $M_r/M_s$ 비율을 나타내 열처리 조건의 변화에 관계없이 교환상호작용은 일어나고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

We present a method, supported by theoretical analysis, for optimizing the usage of the critical rare earth element dysprosium in $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ (NdFeB)-based permanent magnets. In this method, we use Dy selectively in locations such as magnet edges and faces, where demagnetization factors are largest, rather than uniformly throughout the bulk sample. A200 nm thick Dy film was sputtered onto a commercial N-38, NdFeB magnets with a thickness of 3 mm and post-annealed at temperatures from $600-700^{\circ}C$. Magnets displayed enhanced coercivities after post-annealing and as much as a 5 % increase in the energy product, while requiring a total Dy content of 0.06 wt. % - a small fraction of that used in the commercial grade Dy-NdFeB magnets. By assuming all Dy diffused into NdFeB magnets, the improvement in energy product corresponds to a saving of over 1% Dy (critical element). Magnets manufactured using this technique will therefore be higher performing which would potentially broaden the application space of these magnets in the traction motors of hybrid and pure electric vehicles, and wind generators.

본 연구는 Karr column을 이용한 희토류원소의 분리에 대한 기초 연구로서, 수상의 초기 pH와 유기상 중 PC-88A의 비누화도에 따른 Nd, Sm의 분리특성을 파악하였다. 실험결과 pH $0.8{\sim}2.3$ 범위에서 PH가 높아짐에 따라 Nd, Sm의 추출율 및 분리계수가 증가하였으며, PC-88A 비누화도 40%인 조건에서 추출 후 수상의 초기 PH에 관계없이 평형 pH가 약 1.5 정도로 유지되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 PC-88A 비누화도가 증가함에 따라 Nd, Sm의 추출율이 크게 증가하였으며, 비누화도 40%인 조건에서 가장 높은 분리계수(${\beta}_{Sm,\;Nd}\;=\;10.8$)를 보여 주었다.

The coercivity of near single domain size $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$-type particles prepared by ball milling of HDDR-treated $Nd_{12.5}Fe_{80.6}B_{6.4}Ga_{0.3}Nb_{0.2}$ alloy was investigated. The feasibility of a surface nitrogenation for improving the coercivity stability of the fine $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$-type particles was also studied. The near single domain size $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$-type particles had a high coercivity of over 9 kOe. However, the coercivity radically deteriorated as the temperature increased in air (< 2 kOe at $200^{\circ}C$). This coercivity reduction was attributed to the soft magnetic phases, ${\alpha}$-Fe and $Fe_3B$, which formed on the surface of the fine particle due to oxidation. Surface nitrogenation of the fine particles significantly improved the stability of their coercivity. The improvement in coercivity stability was attributed to the formation of a thin nitrogenated layer on the surface of the fine $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$-type particles, which enhanced the anisotropy field and gave improved resistance to oxidation (dissociation).

The chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) is an anadromous fish distributed all around the North Pacific. Artificial production and release of the juveniles are being made by Korea, Japan, Russia, Canada and the United States. It is important to set up some criteria identifying each stock in order to clarify each nation's right of harvest for the chum salmon resource. As an attempt to build such criteria, we analyzed sequences of a microsatellite DNA Ogo5 and the COIII-ND3-ND4L region of the mitochondrial DNA from chum salmons of Korea, Japan, and the United States. Ogo5 has 4 different alleles: allele A, B-1, B-2, and B-3. Allele B-3 is found only in 3 individuals out of 12 Korea salmons. The Japan salmons have the other 3 alleles and the America salmons have only 2 allots, A and B-1. Heterozygosity index (Ho/He) distinguishes the Korea (1.61) and Japan salmons (1.63) from the America ones (1.09). Seventeen different haplotypes are found in the COIII-ND3-ND4L region from 60 individuals,20 from each stock. The gene genealogy of the haplotypes revealed by TCS program shows that the Korea and Japan salmons are genetically closely linked, but that they are clearly distinguished from the America ones. Ten and eleven individuals of the Korea and Japan salmons have an identical haplotype. Nine individuals of the Korea salmons $(45\%),$ however, are separable from the Japan salmons by their own specific nucleotides. This result presents usefulness of the COIII-ND3-ND4L region as a genetic marker for identification of the chum salmon stocks.

Solvent extraction experiments have been performed to investigate an optimum condition to separate Nd and Pr from chloride solutions using PC88A and D2EHPA. In our experimental ranges, the distribution coefficients of Nd were higher than those of Pr. In both of PC88A and D2EHPA extractant system, our results indicated that the increase in concentration ratio of extractant to metal had a great effect on the extraction and separation of the two metals. In extraction with saponified D2EHPA, the initial pH of the aqueous solution and saponification degree had some effect on the extraction of the two metals but little effect on the separation factor.

$(Sm_{0.5}RE_{0.5})Fe_{11}Ti$ compounds have tetragonal $ThMn_{12}$-type structure and show the uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy with the easy magnetization c-axis. Among the $(Sm_{0.5}RE_{0.5})Fe_{11}Ti$ series, RE=Sm shows the highest anisotropy field of 11200 kA/m(140 kOe). On the other hand, RE=Nd has the highest saturation magnetization of $122.3\;Am^{2}/kg$(122.3 emu/g) and RE=Gd the highest Curie temperature of $326^{\circ}C$.

Background: Fibrostenosis of large airway due to tuberculosis is one of the most perplexing clinical problems not only because it can lead to respiratory failure but also because of difficulty in the management. No one technique, such as balloon dilatation or insertion of self expandable metallic stent, has proved totally satisfactory in the management of fibrostenosis. We evaluated the effect of laser therapy in patient with severe fibrostenosis due to tuberculosis. Method: We classified the fibrostenosis to three types by bronchoscopic finding - the diaphragm type: stenosed by fibrous diaphragm, sparing the tracheobronchial wall, the collapse type: stenosed by collapse of the wall due to destruction of the cartilage, and the combined type: stenosed by nonspecific inflammatory scar tissue within internal lumen with collapse of the wall. We have treated 10 patients complaining dyspnea due to with severe fibrostenosis of the diaphargm or the combined type using a neodymiumyttrium aluminum garnet(Nd-Y AG) laser through a flexible bronchoscopy. Results: Eight of the 10 cases improved after laser therapy and maintained during a follow up period of average 31.9 months. All of the cases undergoing laser therapy showed no serious complication to need the therapy. Conclusion: The results of our present study indicate that the Nd-YAG laser therapy is an effective and safe method for the management of selective tuberculous fibrostenosis.
