The effect of heat-treatment on catalytic crystallization in $LI_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass system over its glass transition temperature was investigated. Glass composition $4Li_2O{cdot}22AL_2O_3{cdot}66SiO_2{cdot}2TiO_2{cdot}2.5ZrO_2{cdot}1.5P_2O_5{cdot}1.0Na_2O{cdot}1.0As_2O_3$ (wt%) was selected and heat-treated at different heating conditions to obtain transparent glass-ceramic. Nucleation and crystallization behaviour of this composition were estimated by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and its thermal expansion coefficients were measured by Dilatometer. As a result, glass transition temperature was $730^{\circ}C$ and two maximum nucleation temperatures were estimated at $730^{\circ}C$ and 82$0^{\circ}C$ using JMA(Johson-Mehl-Avrami) equation by DTA. $ZrTiO_4$ $\beta$-Quartz solid solution and $\beta$-Spodumene crystals were identified by XRD. The optimum crystallization temperature was 92$0^{\circ}C$ and three step heating schedule was expected to be useful to obtain transparent glass-ceramic.

Charging of spacecraft occurs in plasma and radiation environment. Especially, we focused on an accident caused by internal charging in a glass material that was used as the cover plate of solar panel array, and tried to measure the charge distribution in glass materials under electron beam irradiation by using a PEA (Pulsed Electro-Acoustic method) system. In the case of a quartz glass (pure $SiO_2$), no charge accumulation was observed either during or after the electron beam irradiation. On the contrary, positive charge accumulation was observed in glass samples containing metal-oxide components. It is found that the polarity of the observed charges depends on the contents of the impurities. To identify which impurity dominates the polarity of the accumulated charge, we measured charge distributions in several glass materials containing various metal-oxide components and calculated the trap energy depths from the charge decay characteristics of all glass samples.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate crystalline silica contents in airborne respirable dusts from various manufacturing industries and to compare analytical ability of two different methods of quantifying crystalline silica, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and Fourie transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). Various manufacturing industries with a history of having pneumoconiosis cases and also known to generate dusts containing crystalline silica were investigated. These industries include: ceramics, brick, concrete, and abrasive material etc. The personal respirable dust samples were collected using l0mm, Dorr-Oliver nylon cyclone equipped with 37mm, $5{\mu}m$ pore size. polyvinylchloride (PVC) filters as collection media. All samples were weighed before and after sampling and were pretreated according to the NIOSH sampling and analytical methods 7500, and 7602 for dust collection and quartz analysis. A total of 48 samples were collected from these industries. Initial analyses of these samples showed log-normal distributions for dust and quartz concentrations. Some results from ceramics and stone exceeded current Korean Occupational Exposure Limits. The average concentrations of personal respirable dust by cyclone were 0.43, 0.24, 0.26, 0.42, 0.53 and $0.29mg/m^3$ in ceramics, stone, concrete, glass, briquets, and others, respectively. A comparison of performance of two analytical methods for quantifying crystalline silica was performed using data from ceramics. The results showed that no significant difference was found between two methods for ceramics. The mean crystalline silica contents determined by XRD were 3.41 % of samples from briquets and 7.18 % from ceramics and were 2.58 % from concrete and 10.33 % from ceramics by FTIR. For crystalline silica analysis, two analytical techniques were highly correlated with $r^2=0.81$ from ceramics. Both cristobalite and tridymite were not detected by XRD and FTIR.

본 연구에서는 XRR 측정에 있어 박막두께 표준보급을 하기 위하여 표준물질을 이온빔 스퍼터링 증착법을 이용하여 제작하였다. 시편제작 시 공기 중 노출에 의해 산화가 되지 않는 산화물 박막과 산화물 기판을 선택하였다. 기판 및 타겟물질 등을 변화시키면서 제작된 시편의 특성을 살펴보았다. 사용된 타겟 물질로는 HfO2, Ta2O5, Cr2O3를 사용하였으며, 기판으로는 glass, sapphire, quartz, SiO2(1 ${\mu}m$-thermal oxidation)를 사용하였다. 산화물 타겟을 사용하여 증착 시 타겟 주위로 생기는 전하들의 charge build-up 되는 현상은 neutralizer를 사용함으로써 문제를 해결하였다. 제작된 시편은 XRR을 이용하여 측정하였고, XRR simulation과 curve fitting을 통하여 박막의 두께, 표면 및 계면의 거칠기, 밀도를 평가하였다. 기판으로 사용된 glass, quartz는 타겟 물질과 관계없이 표면 거칠기가 좋지 않아 XRR 반사율이 급격히 떨어지면서 측정되는 각도의 영역이 작아졌다. sapphire로 제작한 시편에서는 측정된 데이터와 simulation의 curve fitting이 양호하지 않았다. 이 문제는 현재 조사중에 있다. SiO2 기판으로 제작한 시편의 경우 타겟 물질과 관계없이 XRR curve fitting 결과가 양호 하였다. 그 중 Cr2O3의 결과가 다른 타겟 물질에 비해 x 2 값이 작았고 반사율 곡선에서의 거칠기와 진폭도 양호하였다. 위 연구결과로써 SiO2 기판을 사용한 Cr2O3 타겟 물질로 제작된 시편이 XRR 박막 두께 표준물질로써 적합한 것으로 판단된다.

X-선 반사율 측정법(XRR)은 비파괴적인 측정방법과 수 nm의 두께를 정밀하게 측정할 수 있는 장점으로 인하여 반도체 산업현장에서 많은 관심과 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 XRR은 두께 분석 측정의 정밀도를 향상시키고 부정확한 결과를 방지하기 위하여 측정기기를 검증하고 보정할 수 있는 두께 표준물질을 필요로 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 XRR용 두께 표준물질을 이온빔 스퍼터링 증착방법을 이용하여 제작하였다. 두께 표준물질 제작에 있어 공기 중 노출에 의해 산화가 되지 않는 산화물 박막과 산화물 기판을 선택하였다. 후보물질은 glass, sapphire, quartz, SiO2기판과 HfO2, Ta2O5, Cr2O3 산화물 타켓을 이용하여 박막을 제작하였다. 제작된 후 보물질은 교정된 XRR을 통하여 박막의 두께, 계면 및 표면 거칠기, 밀도등 박막의 구조특성분석을 하였다. Glass, quartz의 경우 기판 표면 거칠기가 좋지 않아 제작된 샘플의 X-선 반사율 곡선이 급격히 떨어지면서 측정되는 각도의 영역이 작아졌다. Sapphire로 제작한 시편은 측정된 데이터와 simulation의 curve fitting이 양호하지 않았다. 이 중 SiO2기판을 사용하고 HfO2박막을 증착한 샘플이 다른 후보물질보다 XRR curve fitting 결과가 가장 양호하여 두께 표준물질로 응용하기에 적절하였다. 그리고 AFM (Atomic Force MicroScope)을 이용하여 기판의 거칠기 및 증착한 박막표면 거칠기 측정을 하였고, TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope)으로 두께 측정을 하여 XRR로 얻은 데이터와 비교하였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 XRR용 두께 표준물질 제작할 수 있었고, 추후 불확도 평가 및 비교실험을 통하여 제작된 XRR용 두께 표준물질을 이용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The ozone generation is commonly made with silent discharge method using quartz glass dielectric. In this paper, using $Al_2O_3$ dielectric to instead of the traditional quartz glass dielectric to improve the system efficiency is presented. The dielectric was manufactured as tube shape (Internal diameter${\times}$ Outside diameter: $11{\times}15mm$) using 99% $Al_2O_3$ ceramic. The characteristics of dielectric discharge and ozone generation were studied of experiments with variation of discharge power, discharge electrode space and rate of flow for supplied gas ($O_2$/Air). As the experimental results, in the same discharge space, the ozone concentration continuously increased with input power increasing, and ozone yield increased until saturation happened. Also, the expended power increased with discharge space extended due to discharge power increased. In additional, the ozone concentration of oxygen ozone was higher than air that was observed when using oxygen ozone in proposed experiments.

The composition of base glass was selected as MgO 8, Al2O3 24, SiO2 68 in weight percent. TiO2 and ZrO2 were added to the base glass to investigate their effects as nucleating agents. In the case of ZrO2 addition, the optimum temperature for nucleation, which was related to the precipitation of tetragonal ZrO2, was 80$0^{\circ}C$. The optimum growth condition for the crystal was 87$0^{\circ}C$ for 8 hrs, and the major crystal phases precipitated in the samples were $\beta$-quartz ss. and mullite. The light transmissivity turned out to be around 80 per cent. On the other hand, when the TiO2 was added, it was difficult to determine the nucleating temperature, because the samples turned easily into translucency during the heat treatment. Therefore, it was almost impossible to retain transparency in the samples. The light transmissivity was below 30 per cent.

The glass-ceramic of the $Li_{2}O-Al_{2}O_{3}-SiO_{2}$ system was investigated to develop the low thermal expansion materials. The glass of this system was heat treated at $775^{\circ}C$ for 2 h for nucleation and subsequently at $825{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ for 2 h for crystallization. The crystal structure of the glass-ceramic of this system was a single phase of $\beta$-quartz solid solution($Li_{x}Al_{x}Si_{1-x}O_{2}$). The thermal expansion of the glass-ceramic showed $4.40{\times}10^{-7}{\sim}1.33{\times}10^{-6}K^{-1}$ between $25{\sim}300^{\circ}C$ and $1.56{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}2.53{\times}10^{-6}K^{-1}$ between $25{\sim}800^{\circ}C$, higher than lower temperature range. The mechanical strength remained almost same at around high 110 MPa with heating temperature changes.

The killing effects of two types(one-phase reactor and two-phase reactor) of UV-TiO$_2$photocatalytic system on the microorganisms have been studied. The UV-lamp which emits maximum 39 watts at 254 nm was prepared in these system. Three types of $TiO_2$ coating method were adopted. One type is thin film coated form on the quartz tube in the reactor and another one is surface rough coated form on the glass bead. The other one is $TiO_2$-mixed alginate bead form. UV irradiation was carried out for 1 min. In case of one phase reactor, the bactericidal efficiencies of E. coli by $TiO_2$-coated quartz tube and $TiO_2$-coated glass bead were 63.2% and 89.9%, respectively. In the air-bubbling system, the bactericidal efficiency was 95%, however, the efficiency decreased to 90.6% in the non-bubbling system. In the $TiO_2$-mixed alginate bead system, bactericidal efficiency was 86%. When $H_2O$$_2$ was treated (10, 15, 20, and 25 mg/ι) to the $TiO_2$-coated glass bead reactor, bactericidal efficiency significantly increased according to the concentration of $H_2$$O_2$. Two phase reactor showed more elevated efficiency. E. coli was more sensitive to the reaction than S. cerevisiae.
