In this experiment the Iron phthalocyanine (FePc) films on Si-wafer and alumina pallet were prepared using vacuum sublimation with conditions of changing reaction time, temperature, and deposition rate. Then, some samples were annealed following annealing. Techniques such as XRD, SEM, and resistance measurement method, were dedicated to characterize the changes of surface structure, phase transformation and electric resistance sensitivity in accordance with change of film thickness. In proportion to the decrease of deposition temperature from $370^{\circ}C$ to $350^{\circ}C$, intensities of (200), (011), (211) and (114) planes of $\alpha$-phase were decreased and (100) plane of $\beta$-phase were appeared. The film thickness were controlled by regulating the volume of precursor material during rapid deposition. As a result, it was observed that crystalline particle size had been increased according to the increase of film thickness and $\alpha$-phase transformed to $\beta$-phase. In consequence of measuring the crystallinity of films annealed between $150^{\circ}C$ and $350^{\circ}C$, $\alpha$- to $\beta$-phase transformation was appeared to begin at $150^{\circ}C$ and completely transformed to $\beta$-phase at $350^{\circ}C$. Electric resistance sensitivity of FePc film to $NO_x$ gas along temperature change of FePc films was observed to be more stable with the decrease of the film thickness.

Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Elemental Analysis Syztem (EAS) were applied to the investiga-tion of the Characteristics and sources of wintertime atmospheric aerosols in Seoul. Atmospheric aerosols were collected by both fine and coarse fractions using a two-stage filter pack sampler from Kon-Kuk university during the winter season of 1999. PIXE was applied to the analysis of the middle and heavy elements with atomic numbers greater than 14(Si) and EAS was applied to the measurement of the light elements such as H, C and N. The fact that 64.2% of mass of fine particles in Seoul consists of the light elements (N, C , and H) suggests that the measurement of light elements is extremely important. The average mass concentration is Seoul was 38.6$\mu\textrm{g}$m(sup)-3. Elements such as Ca, Fe, Mg, and Ti appeared to have very low Fine/Coarse ratios(0.1∼0.4), whereas che-mical components related to anthropogenic sources such as Br, V, Pb, and Zn were observed to accumulate in the fine fraction. In the Asian Dust Storm(ADS) event, the concentation of soil components increased dramatically. Reconstruction of the fine mass concentrations estimated by a newly revised simple model was fairly in good agreement with the measured ones. Source identification was attempted using the enrichment factor and Pearsons coefficient of correlation. The typical elements derived from each source could be classified by this method.

This paper aimed to analyse dose sensitivity to the controllable parameters of in-door radon $(^{222}Rn)$ and its decay products(Rn-D) by applying the input-output linear system theory. Physical behaviors of $^{222}Rn$ & Rn-D were analyzed in terms of $^{222}Rn$ gas generation, -migation and - infiltration to indoor environments, and the performance output-function(i.e. mean dose equivalent to Tracho-Bronchial(TB) lung region was assessed to the following ranges of the controllable parameters; a) the ventilation rate constant $({\lambda}_v)$ : $0{\sun}500[h^{-1}]$. b) the attachment rate constant$({\lambda}_a)$ : 0-500 $[h^{-1}]$. c) deposition rate constant $({\lambda}{_{d}^{u}})$: 0-50$[h^{-1}]$. A linear input-output model was reconstructed from the original models in literatures, as follows, which was modified into the matrices consisting of 111 nodal equations. a) indoor ${222}Rn$ & Rn-D Behaviour: jacobi- Porstendorfer- Bruno model. b) lung dosimerty : Jacobi-Eisfeld model. Some of the major findings, which identify the effectiveness of this model, were as follows. a) ${\lambda}_v$ is most effective, dominant controllable parameters in dose reduction, if mechanical ventilation is applied. b) ${\lambda}_v$, depending on the air particle-concentration, reduces the dose somewhat within ${\lambda}_v$<1 $h^{-1}R range. However, the dose increases conversely, ${\lambda}_v$>1 $h^{-1}R range range. c) ${\lambda}{_{d}^{4}}$ reduces the dose linearly as ${\lambda}_v$ dose. Such dose(z-axis) sentivities are shown with three-dimensional plots whoes x,y-axes are combined 2out the 3 parameter${\lambda}_v{\lambda}_s,\;{\lambda}_d^s$.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate relative bioavailability of the coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in emulsion and three liposome formulations after a single oral administration (60 mg/kg) into rats. Emulsion formulation of CoQ10 was prepared by conventional method using Phospholipon 85G as an emulsifier, and three liposome formulations (neutral, anionic, and cationic) of CoQ10 were prepared by traditional lipid film hydration technique using Phospholipon 85G, cholesterol, and charge carrier lipids (1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane chloride salt for cationic liposome and 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate monosodium salt for anionic liposome). Mean particle size of all CoQ10-loaded liposome was less than a micron, and size distribution of the liposome population was homogeneous. Bioavailability of CoQ10 in emulsion was 1.5 to 2.6-fold greater than liposome formulations in terms of $AUC_{0-24\;h}$. $T_{max}$ was 3 h when administered as emulsion while it was greater than 6 h in liposome formulations. Notably, it was approximately 8 h in cationic liposome. $C_{max}$ was highest in emulsion and was significantly decreased when administered as liposome. Charged liposome showed even lower $C_{max}$ than neutral liposome, especially in cationic liposome. In conclusion, therefore, it is suggested that clinicians and patients consider bioavailability issue a primary concern when choosing a CoQ10 product, especially when very high plasma level is required such as in the treatment of heart failure and Parkinson's disease.

나노임프린트 리소그라피(Nano-Imprint Lithography, NIL) 기술은 기판위의 resin을 나노구조물이 각인된 스탬프로 눌러서 나노구조물을 형성하는 기술로, 경제적이고 효과적으로 나노구조물을 제작할 수 있는 기술이다. 그중에서도 UV 기반의 나노임프린트(UV-NIL) 기술은 resin을 투명한 스탬프로 누른뒤 UV로 경화시켜 나노구조물을 형성하는 기술로써 고온, 고압($140{\sim}180^{\circ}C$, 10~30bar)이 필요한 가열식 나노임프린트 기술에 비해 상온, 상압($20^{\circ}C$, 1bar)에서도 구조물 형성이 가능하여 다층구조 형성에 적합하다. 연속적인 임프린팅 공정에 의해 resin이 quarz 스탬프에 잔류하여 패터닝에 결함을 유발하게 되므로 오염물을 제거하기 위한 세정공정이 필요하다. 하지만 UV에 의해 경화된 resin은 cross-linking을 형성하여 화학적인 내성이 증가하게 되므로 제거하기가 어렵다. 현재는 resin 제거를 위한 세정공정으로 SPM($H_2SO_4/H_2O_2$) 세정이 사용되고 있는데 세정시간이 길고 세정 후에 입자 또는 황 잔유물이 남으며 많은 유해용액 사용의 문제점이 있어 효과적으로 resin을 제거할 세정공정이 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 친환경적인 UV 세정 및 오존수 세정공정을 적용하여 경화된 resin을 제거하는 연구를 진행하였다. 실험샘플은 약 100nm 두께의 resin을 증착한 $1.5cm{\times}1.5cm$ $SiO_2$ 쿠폰 wafer를 사용하였으며, UV 및 오존수의 처리시간을 달리하여 resin 제거효율을 평가하였다. ATR-FTIR 장비를 사용하여 시간에 따른 resin의 두께를 측정한 결과, UV 세정으로 100nm 높이의 resin중에 80nm의 bulk resin이 단시간에 제거가 되었고 나머지 20nm의 resin thin film은 오존수 세정으로 쉽게 제거되는 것을 확인 하였다. 또한 표면에 남은 resin residue와 particle을 제거하기 위해서 SC-1 세정을 진행하였고 contact angle과 optical microscope 장비를 사용하여 resin이 모두 제거된 것을 확인하였다.

By using a liquid-mix precursor, we prepared the hollow glass spheres(HGS) as an additive of polymer compound which are used in the field of modifier, promoter, filler, and reinforcement. Liquid-mix precursor is a mixture of 40% sodium silicate aqueous solution, boric acid as a insolubilizing agent, and urea as a blowing agent. To obtain the precursor particles which are fed into a gas flame furnae, the above liquid-mix precursor was dried in oven and crushed with ball mill. We assumed the size of precursor particles ($53{\sim}63{\mu}m$, $63{\sim}180{\mu}m$), temperature of furnace($800{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$), and amount of urea(0~30 g) as the parameters affecting on the properties of HGS. As a result mean particle size of HGS increases with increasing the temperature of furnace and the amount of urea and with decreasing the size of precursor particles. Also, we found that incresing the amount of urea is related to a decrease of the crush strength of HGS.

In this study, fine $Gd_2O_2S$:Tb powder was synthesized by using a low temperature solution-combustion method for a high-resolution digital x-ray imaging detector. From the fabricated phosphor power, the fine scintillator films was fabricated by particle sedimentation method and was investigated the luminescent property. From the experimental results of relative light output as a function of terbium concentration, the highest luminescent efficiency has at 5 wt% Tb concentration, and luminescent intensity decreased rapidly according to quenching effect about higher Tb concentration. Also, the relative light output of $270{\mu}m$-$Gd_2O_2S$:Tb film has 2945 pC/$cm^2$/mR. And light intensity was saturated at higher film thickness. Finally, to evaluate an image acquisition performance of fabricated phosphor, images were obtained by using commercial CMOS sensor and measured the MTF, NPS, and DQE. DQE(0 lp/mm) of fine phosphor film has 37%. But, DQE improvement of fine phosphor film is possible by resolving problem of film fabrication process and has a significant potential in the application of digital radiation imaging system later.

We fabricated the nano $TiN_x$ by making of reaction between titanium powder and $Si_3N_4$ during planetary milling. The $TiN_x$ powder was sintered by spark plasma sintering machine after mixing with 50 wt% of titanium powder, and the sintered body was heat-treated at $850^{\circ}C$ in order to investigate its hardness property at the elevated temperature. We analyzed crystal structure by XRD. We observed the peaks of $TiN_{0.26}$ and TiN after 10 hours milling, and we observed TiN peak mainly after 20 hours milling. The reacted particle size distribution was investigated by FE-SEM. Increase of milling time, the size of reacted particles was decreased and the $10{\sim}20nm$ size of $TiN_x$ on the surface of titanium and $TiN_x$ was observed after 20 hours milling. The micro-Vickers hardness of mixed sintered body was about $1050kgf/mm^2$.

Diamond thin films were deposited on p-type (100) Si wafers using MPECVD. Prior to deposition, ultrasonic striking was done to improve density of nucleation sites with dimond powder of 40~$60\mu$m size. Then diamond thin films were deposited at $^900{\circ}C$, 40Torr and 1000W microwave power using ${CH}_{4}$ and ${H}_{2}$ gases. The purity, the morphology and the microstructur'e and microdefects of diamond thin films were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, SEM and TEM, repectively. In Raman spectroscopy the peaks of non-diamond phase increased as ${CH}_{4}$, concentration increased. In SEM, the morphology of diamond thin films varied from crystalline to cauliflower as ${CH}_{4}$, concentration increased. As ${CH}_{4}$ con centration increased, the density of defects increased, with most defects being {III} twin. ${MTP}_{5}$, were formed with five (II]) planes. As these (Ill) Planes were twinned, ${MTP}_{5}$, represented five-fold symmetry. ]n the interfaces, defects in diamond thin films fanned out from small regions implying nucleation sites.
