This study was carried out to investigate the distribution and penetration of PEG molecules into the cell wall of wood by SEM-EDS method. SEM observation indicated that the cell walls of PEG-treated specimen were swollen, and didn't show any change in their shapes, while the cells of untreated specimen were more or less collapsed. The results of X-ray analyses of potassium stained samples revealed the distribution of the impregnated chemicals within the cell walls, when considering the distribution of potassium ions in the cell walls. Consequently, this study supported the possibility of PEG molecules penetrated into the wood cell wall play an important role in enhancing the dimensional stability of wood.

Spectroscopic evaluation of hair chemical damage was performed by SEM/EDS, CLSM, and FT-IR spectroscopy. In SEM/EDS, hydrogen peroxide treated hair showed the loose packing of surface scales, lower ratio of sulfur element and higher ratio of oxygen atom. In the optical single section by using CLSM, high fluorescent intensity appeared in untreated hair. However, in case of treated hair, low fluorescent intensity appeared. This results the aromatic amino acids which can be autofluorescent were more abundant than bleached hair. FT-IR spectra showed that cysteic acid band intensity was increased by performing the bleaching treatments. These results indicate that the oxidative damage cleaves the S-S bond and results in the lower working force of hair fiber.

주사전자현미경(Scanning Electron Microscopy: SEM)은 고체상태에서 미세조직과 형상을 관찰하는 데에 가장 다양하게 쓰이는 분석기기로서 최근에 판매되고 있는 고분해능 SEM은 수 나노미터의 분해능을 가지고 있다. 그리고 SEM의 초점심도가 크기 때문에 3차원적인 영상의 관찰이 용이해서 곡면 혹은 울퉁불퉁한 표면의 영상을 육안으로 관찰하는 것처럼 보여준다. 활용도도 매우 다양해서 금속파면, 광물과 화석, 반도체 소자와 회로망의 품질검사, 고분자 및 유기물, 생체시료 nnnnnnnnn와 유가공 제품 등 모든 산업영역에 걸쳐 있다(Fig. 1). 입사된 전자빔이 시료의 원자와 탄성, 비탄성 충돌을 할 때 2차 전자(secondary electron)외에 후방산란전자(back scattered electron), X선, 음극형광 등이 발생하게 되는 이것을 통하여 topography (시료의 표면 형상), morphology(시료의 구성입자의 형상), composition(시료의 구성원소), crystallography (시료의 원자배열상태)등의 정보를 얻을 수 있다. SEM은 2차 전자를 이용하여 시료의 표면형상을 측정하고 그 외에는 SEM을 플랫폼으로 하여 EDS (Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy), WDS (Wave Dispersive X-ray Spectroscope), EPMA (Electron Probe X-ray Micro Analyzer), FIB (Focus Ion Beam), EBIC (Electron Beam Induced Current), EBSD (Electron Backscatter Diffraction), PBMS (Particle Beam Mass Spectrometer) 등의 많은 분석장치들이 SEM에 부가적으로 장착되어 다양한 시료의 측정이 이루어진다. 이 중 결정구조, 조성분석을 쉽고 효과적으로 할 수 있게 하는 X선 분석장치인 EDS를 SEM에 일체화시킨 장비와 EDS 및 PBMS를 SEM에 장착하여 반도체 공정 중 발생하는 나노입자의 형상, 성분, 크기분포를 측정하는 PCDS(Particle Characteristic Diagnosis System)에 대해 소개하고자 한다. - EDS와 통합된 SEM 시스템 기본적으로 SEM과 EDS는 상호보완적인 기능을 통하여 매우 밀접하게 사용되고 있으나 제조사와 기술적 근간의 차이로 인해 전혀 다른 방식으로 운영되고 있다. 일반적으로 SEM과 EDS는 별개의 시스템으로 스캔회로와 이미지 프로세싱 회로가 개별적으로 구현되어 있지만 로렌츠힘에 의해 발생하는 전자빔의 왜곡을 보정을 위해 EDS 시스템은 SEM 시스템과 연동되어 운영될 수 밖에 없다. 따라서, 각각의 시스템에서는 필요하지만 전체 시스템에서 보면 중복된 기능을 가지는 전자회로들이 존재하게 되고 이로 인해 SEM과 EDS에서 보는 시료의 이미지의 차이로 인한 측정오차가 발생한다(Fig. 2). EDS와 통합된 SEM 시스템은 중복된 기능인 스캔을 담당하는 scanning generation circuit과 이미지 프로세싱을 담당하는 FPGA circuit 및 응용프로그램을 SEM의 회로와 프로그램을 사용하게 함으로 SEM과 EDS가 보는 시료의 이미지가 정확히 일치함으로 이미지 캘리브레이션이 필요없고 측정오차가 제거된 EDS 측정이 가능하다. - PCDS 공정 중 발생하는 입자는 반도체 생산 수율에 가장 큰 영향을 끼치는 원인으로 파악되고 있으며, 생산수율을 저하시키는 원인 중 70% 가량이 이와 관련된 것으로 알려져 있다. 현재 반도체 공정 중이나 반도체 공정 장비에서 발생하는 입자는 제어가 되고 있지 않은 실정이며 대부분의 반도체 공정은 저압환경에서 이루어지기에 이 때 발생하는 입자를 제어하기 위해서는 저압환경에서 측정할 수 있는 측정시스템이 필요하다. 최근 국내에서는 CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) 시스템 내 파이프내벽에서의 오염입자 침착은 심각한 문제점으로 인식되고 있다(Fig. 3). PCDS (Particle Characteristic Diagnosis System)는 오염입자의 형상을 측정할 수 있는 SEM, 오염입자의 성분을 측정할 수 있는 EDS, 저압환경에서 기체에 포함된 입자를 빔 형태로 집속, 가속, 포화상태에 이르게 대전시켜 오염입자의 크기분포를 측정할 수 있는 PBMS가 일체화 되어 반도체 공정 중 발생하는 나노입자 대해 실시간으로 대처와 조치가 가능하게 한다.

Experiments were conducted to investigate the sensitivity of steel plate oxidation with temperature in a simulated furnace. Used steel plates were a general steel and a high tensile steel. Porous media burner (PM burner) used in model furnace was made for uniform temperature profile. The surrounding temperature was controlled by adjusting the flow rate of the mixture in the combustor. Oxide layer analysis was performed using SEM image analysis and EDS line scanning. Both steel sheets showed a tendency to increase the thickness of the steel sheet surface oxide layer as the temperature increases, and it was confirmed that the flaking phenomenon in surface oxidation layer appeared when the temperature was above a certain temperature.

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate(MTA) has been used in Endodontic treatment successfully for more than 10 years. But the high cost of MTA limits its use in endodontics in Korea. Recently many studies have been done to compare MTA and Portland cements. To investigate the chemical constitutions of MTA (Proroot MTA, Tulsa Dental), Gray Portland cement (Lafarge Halla cement), White Portland cement(Union corp), and fast setting cement (SSangyong cement), we performed SEM(scanning electron microscope)(S4700, Hitachi) examination and EDS(Energy dispersive spectrometry)(emax, Horiba) analysis. SEM examination and EDS analysis were committed to and performed in SNU DRI (Seoul National University Dental Research Institute). We found that particles of MTA were relatively round, uniform in size, and compactly packed compared to Portland cements. Chemical constitutions of MTA, GPC, WPC and FSC were similar. It was shown that MTA contains much BiO2 . MTA and WPC showed less heavy metals such as Fe and Mg compared to GPC and FSC. FSC showed remarkably high aluminum content.

Diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a typical application field of cordierite (Mg₂Al₄Si₅O₁₈) honeycomb. Green body for DPF honeycomb was extruded using slurry paste and sintered at the temperature range of 980~1450℃. Quantitative crystal phase analysis was carried out by using Rietveld refinement method for powder XRD data. In conjunction with the quantitative Rietveld analysis, SEM-EDS analysis was carried for the crystal phases (indialite, cordierite, cristobalite, alumina, spinel, mullite, pro-enstatite). After removing amorphous phase on the sintered surfaces by chemical etching method, the shape and composition of the crystal phases can be clearly identified by SEM-EDS method. By combining the Rietveld refinement method and SEM-EDS analysis, crystal phase evolution process in DPF cordierite ceramics could be clarified. In addition, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the DPF honeycombs were measured and compared with the calculated CTEs based on the quantitative crystal phase analysis results.

Teeth and bones are very resistance to high temperatures and remain recognizable even after prolonged exposures to heat. The effects of heating and burning on teeth have been studied with the aim of discerning a characteristic signature withstanding high temperature, but there have been few studies about a human cremated ash, especially Korea. We are recognizable by elemental composition and can be detected in human cremated ash samples by Scanning electromicroscopy/Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry analysis(SEM/EDS), cremated, at $800{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. In this temperature range, different crystals morphologies(spherical, irregular and hexagonal) are observed in SEM. Calcium(Ca) and oxygen(O) increases steadily after cremation in EDS. We suggest that cremated bone have been provided with calcium oxide(CaO) formation at temperature above $900^{\circ}C$. This study offers basic data to assess the structure and elemental compositions of human ash and to determine if these remain identifiable after exposure to extreme temperatures.

Herein, we present the results of the analysis of a lacquer coating fragment excavated from 'Daesungdong No.88 tomb of Gimhae'. We observed the fragment with an optical microscope and used scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) as well as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis to determine the structure of the lacquer coating and the technique used for coating. The sample was identified as a Moksim Jophy Lacquer. It is made from wood, painted with textile fabric and coated with soil clay. The SEM-EDS analysis revealed residues of bone meal at the bottom part of the sheath layer. The incorporation of bone meal in a lacquer coating layer is one of the characteristics of the Han Dynasty, and was also found in the Nangnang Region and the United Silla Dynasty. Inside the sword sheath is a specific adherent structure of silk fabric, the same type of leguminous plant found in another sword sheath excavated from the Eastern Han-tomb of Xi'an. Results constitute the latest information about lacquer ware found in the southern district of the Korean peninsula. Moreover, the findings shed light on an international relationship with Kumkwan-Kaya where the sword sheath was produced.
