상압 소결법(PLS, pressureless sintering) 및 방전가열 소결법(SPS, spark plasma sintering)으로 소결한 {{{{ {ZrB }_{2 } - ZrC }}}} 복합체의 미세구조를 SEM-EBSP 법에 의해 결정기하학적으로 분석하였다. PLS법에 의해 소결된 복합체에서 {{{{ { ZrB}_{2 } }}}}의 (1010) 면은ND(시편에 수직인 방향)로 배향되었고, ZrC 경우 (101) 및 (111)면이 ND방향으로 배향되었다. 한편 SPS법에 위해 소결된 {{{{ { ZrB}_{2 } }}}}의 (0001)A면은 ND방향으로 강하게 배향되었다. ZrC인 경우 (001) 면만이 ND방향으로 배향되었다. PLS법에 의한 소결체의 결정립은 특정방위에 대해 약한 배향을 갖으면서, {{{{ { ZrB}_{2 } }}}}와 ZrC상 계면의 구조적 조화가 우수한 반면, SPS법에 의한 소결체의 결정립들은 특정방향으로 강하게 배향되는 경향을 보인다.

급속냉각기술로 제조된 $Nd_{14}Fe_{76}Co_{4}B_{6}$ 및 $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_{2}Zr_{15}B_{7}$ 자성분말을 사용하여 성형체와 본드자석을 제조하였다. 자기특성, 최적충진률 등의 분말입도 및 형상비에 따른 거동은 합금조성에 따라 달리 나타난다. Co/Fe 비가 작은 저밀도의 $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_{2}Zr_{1.5}B_{7}$ 합금이 같은 성형압력에서 성형체의 성형밀도 및 최적충진률이 높아 자기특성이 우수하였으나 반면에 분말입도에 따라 자기특성이 변화하였다. 성형밀도(p)와 성형압력(P) 사이 에는 ${\phi}(g/cm^{2})=5.2~5.6{\times}P^{0.045~0.065}(ton/cm^{2})$의 관계식이 성립된다. 높은 Nd/Fe 비를 갖는 급속냉각된 $Nd_{14}Fe_{76}Co_{4}B_{6}$ 합금의 초미세립(50~60 nm)으로써 높은 보자력($iH_{c}=14~15kOe$)을 보유하나, Nd/Fe비가 낮은 $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_{2}Zr_{1.5}B_{7}$ 합금은 결정립이 조대하고(150~400 nm)Nd-rich한 입경계상의 발달이 부진하여 자벽고착기구가 주 보자력 기구 로 판명된 두 합금에서 고착지점으로서의 역할이 불충분하여 보자력이 낮은 것으로 판명되었다.

지난 수년간 비휘발성 메모리는 휴대용 전자기기 시장의 증가로 인해 많은 주목을 받아왔다. 그러나 현재 주로 쓰이고 있는 다결정 실리콘을 부유게이트층을 이용한 소자는 한계점을 보이고 있다. 이러한 이유로 최근에는 반도체 나노점이나 금속 나노점을 이용하는 비휘발성 메모리가 각광을 받고 있다. 이 메모리들은 빠른 쓰기/지우기 속도, 긴 저장시간, 낮은 구동전압 등의 이점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이온빔 스퍼터링 방법을 이용해 $SiO_2$/Zr nanodots (ND)/$SiO_2$ trilayer 구조를 제작하였다. tunnel oxide와 control oxide의 두께는 각각 3nm, 15nm 이며 Zr의 양을 변화시키며 그에 따른 Zr ND과 메모리 효과의 변화를 관찰하였다. 고분해능 전자현미경과 광전자 분광기를 이용해 Zr ND의 형성을 확인하였고 열처리 후 $ZrO_2$ ND로 상이 변화함을 관찰하였다. -10 ~ +10V의 측정 조건 하에서 Zr의 양이 증가함에 따라 메모리 폭은 최대 5.8V까지 증가하였다. 또한 쓰기 상태에서 메모리 폭과 전하 손실비율은 열처리 후가 감소하였고 이는 $SiO_2$와 Zr ND의 계면에서 생성되는 $ZrO_2$의 영향인 것으로 생각된다.

The major drawback of zirconia-based materials, in view of their applications as targets for minor actinide transmutation, is their poor thermal conductivity. The addition of MgO, which has high thermal conductivity, to zirconia-based materials is expected to improve their thermal conductivity. On these grounds, the present study aims at phase characterization and thermophysical property evaluation of neodymium-substituted zirconia (Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9; using Nd₂O₃ as a surrogate for Am₂O₃) and its composites with MgO. The composite was prepared by a solid-state reaction of Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9 (synthesized by gel combustion) and commercial MgO powders at 1773 K. Phase characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction and the microstructural investigation was performed using a scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy. The linear thermal expansion coefficient of Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9 increases upon composite formation with MgO, which is attributed to a higher thermal expansivity of MgO. Similarly, specific heat also increases with the addition of MgO to Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9. Thermal conductivity was calculated from measured thermal diffusivity, temperature-dependent density and specific heat values. Thermal conductivity of Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9-MgO (50 wt%) composite is more than that of typical UO₂ fuel, supporting the potential of Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9-MgO composites as target materials for minor actinides transmutation.

Series of unequal quantity Nd/Ce co-doped ceramic nuclear waste forms, (Gd, Nd)₂(Zr, Ce)₂O₇, were prepared to tailor its ordered pyrochlore or disordered fluorite structure. The phase transition, microtopography, and elemental composition of the ceramic samples were systematically investigated, especially the effect of order-disorder structure on the chemical stability. It was confirmed that unequal quantity of Nd/Ce could synchronously replace the Gd/Zr-sites of Gd₂Zr₂O₇. And the phase transition of order-disorder structure could be successfully tailored by regulating the average cationic radius ratio of (Gd, Nd)₂(Zr, Ce)₂O₇ series. The elements of Gd, Nd, Zr, and Ce are uniformly distributed in the ordered or disordered structures. The MCC-1 leaching results showed that (Gd, Nd)₂(Zr, Ce)₂O₇ pyrochlore ceramic nuclear waste forms had excellent chemical stability, whose elements' normalized leaching rates were as low as 10^-4-10^-7 g·m^-2·d^-1 after 7 days. In particular, the chemical stability of disordered structure was superior to that of ordered structure. It was proposed that the force constant and the closest packing were changed with the structure transformation resulting the chemical stability difference.

아크 용해법으로 제작한 $ZrV_{0.1}Mn_{0.7}Ni_{1.2}$ 합금(bulk 합금) 잉고트는 $ZrV_{0.2}Mn_{0.98}Ni_{1.04}$의 조성식을 가지는 fcc 구조의 C15형 Laves상이 주류를 이루는 matrix와 $ZrV_{0.01}Mn_{0.13}Ni_{1.2}$의 조성으로 $Z_9Ni_{11}$의 금속간 화합물 구조를 가지는 2nd phase가 균일하게 분포된 2개의 상으로 구성되어 있었다. $ZrV_{0.1}Mn_{0.7}Ni_{1.2}$ 합금의 방전 특성에 이 두 가지 상들이 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해서 matrix와 2'nd phase합금을 분리 제작하였고, 이들 전극에 대한 전기 화학적인 충방천 특성들을 조사하였다. 그 결과 방전용량은 2nd phase가 가장 낮은 $160mAh/g$, 그 다음으로 matrix가 200mAh/g으로 bulk의 250mAh/g보다 낮았다. Matrix조성의 합금은 bulk합금과 거의 유사한 활성화, 고율 방전율, 자기방전 특성을 가졌고, 또한 활성화 후에 충방전에 따른 용량감소의 경향이 현저히 관찰되었다. 그러나 2nd phase 조성의 합금은 이들과는 확연한 차이를 보였다. 즉 활성화되기 어렵지만 활성화된 후에 용량감소의 경향은 거의 없었고 또한 자기방전 특성도 우수하였다.

Magnesium alloys are alloyed with rare earth elements (Re, Ca, Sr) due to the limited use of magnesium in high-temperature conditions. In this study, the influences of Zr and Zn on the aging behavior of a Mg-Nd-Y alloy were investigated. magnesium alloys containing R.E elements require aging treatments Specifically, Nd, Y and Zr are commonly used for high-temperature magnesium alloys. Various aging treatments were conducted at temperatures of 200, 250 and $300^{\circ}C$ for 0.5, 1, 3, 6, and 10 hours in order to examine the microstructural changes and mechanical properties at a high temperature ($150^{\circ}C$). Hardness and high-temperature ($150^{\circ}C$) tensile tests were carried out under various aging conditions in order to investigate the effects of an aging treatment on the mechanical properties of a Mg-3.05Nd-2.06Y-1.13Zr-0.34Zn alloy. The maximum hardness was 67Hv; this was achieved after aging at $250^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The maximum tensile, yield strength and elongation at $150^{\circ}C$ were 237MPa, 145MPa and 13.6%, respectively, at $250^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The strengths of the Mg-3.05Nd-2.06Y-1.13Zr-0.34Zn alloy increased as the aging time increased to 3 hours at $250^{\circ}C$ This is attributed to the precipitation of a Nd-rich phase, a Zr-rich phase and $Mg_3Y_2Zn_3$.

Nanotube morphology change of Ti-Ta-Zr alloy as Zr content increase has been researched using various experimental methods. Ti-Ta-Zr(3, 7 and 15 wt%) alloys were prepared by arc melting and nano-structure controlled for 24 hr at $1000^{\circ}C$ in argon atmosphere. Formation of oxide nanotubes are conducted by anodizing a Ti-Ta-Zr alloy in $H_3PO_4$ electrolytes with small amounts of fluoride ions at room temperature. Electrochemical experiments were carried out with conventional three-electrode configuration with a platinum counter electrode and a saturated calomel reference electrode. The samples were embedded with epoxy resin, leaving a square surface area of $10mm^2$ exposed to the anodizing electrolyte, 1.0M $H_3PO_4$ containing 0.8wt% NaF.

The dental orthodontic mini-screw requires good mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance for implantation in the bone. The purpose of this study was to investigate the electrochemical characteristics of TiN and ZrN coated orthodontic mini-screws, mini-screws were used for experiment. Ion plating was carried out for mini-screw using Ti and Zr coating materials with nitrogen gas. Ion plated surface of each specimen w as o bserved with f ield emission scanning e lectron microscopy ( FE-SEM), e nergy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and electrochemical tester. The surface of TiN and ZrN coated mini-screw were more smooth than that of other kinds of non-coated mini-screw due to dercrease of machined defects. The corrosion current density of the TiN and ZrN coated mini-screw decreased compared to non-coated sample. The corrosion potential of TiN and ZrN coated mini-screw were higher than that of non-coated mini-screw in 0.9% NaCl solution. The pitting corrosion resistance increased in the order of ZrN coated, TiN coated and non-coated wire. Pitting potential of ZrN coated mini-screw was the highest in the other specimens.
