  • $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$(CZTSe) is one of the promising materials for the solar cell due to its abundant availability in the nature. In this study, we report the fabrication of CZTSe thin film by Pulsed Laser Deposition(PLD) method using quaternary compound target on sodalime glass substrate. The quaternary CZTSe compound target was synthesized by solid state reaction method using elemental powders of Cu, Zn, Sn and Se. Powders were milled in high purity ethanol using zirconia ball with mixed size of 1 and 3 mm at the same proportions for 72 hours milling time. The structural, chemical and mechanical properties of the synthesized CZTSe powders were investigated prior to the deposition process. The CZTSe compound powder, and $500^{\circ}C$ of sintering temperature shows the best properties for PLD target. Results show that the as-deposited CZTSe thin films with the precursors by PLD have a composition near-stoichiometric.

  • We studied on the preparation and evaluation of O/W type microemulsion containing "wax, liquid paraffine and quaternary ammonium salt". And also it was obtained to stability of microemulsions by mono ethylene glycol(MEG) addition. The microemulsions were generally prepared at 96${\sim}$97$^{\circ}C$ by the phase inversion method. We used polyoxyethylene(20) sorbitan monooleate(POE(20)SMO) and distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride(D.D.A.C.) as the emulsifiers at microemulsion preparation. From the results, we could get best condition for microemulsion preparation, in case of oil phase, montanic ester wax ; 1.1wt%, paraffine wax ; 1.1wt%, liquid paraffine ; 3.1wt%, propylene glycol ; 0.6wt% and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether ; 0.6wt%, when the ratio(wt%) of D.D.A.C. and POE(20)SMO were 2 : 3. And also we could obtained that the distributed particle size of the final microemulsions were about 8${\pm}$1.5nm and the mean particle size was 7${\pm}$0.5nm. We got following results from final microemulsions that the percent of transmittance; 96${\sim}$98% at 700nm. And the microemulsion blended with MEG of 5${\sim}$15wt% showed smaller particle size and more stable distribution than non-containing MEG.

  • This study discusses the soil erosion on hillslopes and sediment deposition in lakes within catchments in South Korea. In order to determine seasonal variations of sedimentation in Yeongcheon and Seondong lakes, the sediment traps were set in the deep part of both lakes and lake sediments have been sampledmonthly from July 2004 to August 2005. Some properties such as highmineral content, fine particle size and high particle density in the Yeongcheon Lake indicate intensive soil erosion, sediment transportation and deposition throughout the catchment for a long time. The high sediment yield in the Seondong Lake is related with higher weathering intensity and extreme soil erosion by running water due to higher seasonal rainfall amount. Rates of erosion and sedimentation in the Seondong Lake are estimated to be higher than those of the Yeongcheon Lake, suggesting that the Seondong Lake is associated with higher precipitation, smaller catchment area, and extreme soil vulnerability to ephemeral erosion by overland flow during the heavy rainfall event. Consequently, both catchments are characterized by different erosion and sedimentation processes, as well as different geomorphic factors (bedrock, soil structure, rainfall intensity and catchment area).

  • In this study, ternary Ti-Mo-N and new quaternary Ti-Mo-Si-N coatings were synthesized on steel substrates(AISI D2) and Si wafers by a hybrid coating system of arc ion plating (AIP) using Ti target and d.c. magnetron sputtering technique using Mo and Si targets in $N_2/Ar$ gaseous mixture. Ternary Ti-Mo-N coatings were substitutional solid-solution of (Ti, Mo)N and showed maximum hardness of approximately 30 GPa at the Mo content of ${\sim}10$. %. The Ti-Mo-Si-N coating with the Si content of 8.8 at. % was a composite consisting of fine (Ti, Mo)N crystallites and amorphous $Si_3N_4$ phase. The hardness of the Ti-Mo-Si(8.8 at. %)-N coatings exhibited largely increased hardness value of ${\sim}48$ GPa due to the microstructural evolution to the fine composite microstructure and the refinement of (Ti, Mo)N crystallites. The average friction coefficient of the Ti-Mo-Si-N coatings largely decreased with increase of Si content. The microstructures of Ti-Mo-Si-N coatings were investigated with instrumental analyses of XRD, XPS, and HRTEM in this work.

  • The fluvia(thalassostatic) terraces have been developed among the lower Yeongsan river, near the southwestern coastal region of Korean peninsula. These thalassostatic terraces could be classified into 3 surface, i. e., Yeongsan 32m, 18m, and 10m surface, in desending order, according to the relative heights from the river floor. Yeongsan 32m, 18m and 10m surfaces were corresponded to the mMT3, mLT1 and mLT2 surfaces of Choi(2003), respectively. It was revealed that the mLT1 surface was the marine terraces which had been formed in the Last Interglacial culmination period(oxygen isotope stage 5e) in the southeastern coast of Korean peninsula.

  • The NDVI(normalized difference vegetation index) dataset is unique or main tool to assess the global, multi seasonal, multi annual, and multi spectral changes over the World. These features are useful for environmental studies in particular, for the vegetation coverage monitoring of the country as Mongolia, where are large pastureland and pastoral animal husbandry, which dependent on natural conditions. Pasture vegetation cover is changing accordingly with both of global climate change and anthropogenic effect or human impacts. Using past 20 years (1982-2001) NDVI derived from NOAA satellite, its dynamical trend has been decreased in all natural zones differently. Also applied the method named "Two Years Differences" which could calculate the number of years with increased or decreased NDVI values at the same place. From May to September have occurred the 9 years maximum decreases of NDVI over Mongolia, but it obtained differently in spatial and temporal scale. In 24.4 ? 32.7% of all territory occurred one year decrease of NDVI and in 18% occurred more than 3 years frequent decrease of NDVI. According to the linear trend of NDVI and in 18% occurred more than 3 years frequent decrease of NDVI dynamics over 69% of whole territory of Mongolia NDVI values had been decreased due to both natural and human induced impacts to the pasture condition. In this paper also included some results of the integrated analyses of NOAA/NDVI and ground truth data over Monglia separately by natural zones.

  • Organic-inorganic hybrid mesoporous anion-exchange resins were prepared for the adsorption of anions from aqueous solutions. The prepared samples were characterized using nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. Batch and kinetic experiments were performed to examine the anion-exchange performances of the prepared samples. Among the prepared samples, the hybrid mesoporous anion-exchange resins functionalized with tributylammonium groups showed higher adsorption capacities for perrhenate ions than did the resin functionalized with trimethylammonium groups. The surfactant, hexadecylamine, which had hydrophobic alkyl chains, also showed affinity for hydrophobic perrhenate anions.

  • Along the Ulsan Fault System, many Quaternary faults have been reported and investigated with outcrop observation and trench excavation to clarify the neotectonic movements and fault parameters such as length, displacement, slip rate and recurrence interval. In the northern part of the Ulsan fault system, we have interpreted small scale(1:10,000) aerial photographs and extracted lineaments by geomophological features to select trench site. After precise field survey and tracing for lineaments, two trench sites at Galgokri, Gyeongju were selected on the lineament to elucidate the fault movement history. One is successful in finding faults but the other is not. In the Galgok-Chisil trench(3m(w) x 1.5m(d) x 10m(l)), very closed two Quaternary faults cut the alluvial deposits of which age shows about 10-3ka. More than three times of fault movements can be inferred by geologic structures and C-14 dating. Repeatedly fault movements had been occurred before 10 ka, between 10ka-4.9 ka, between 4.9-1.4 ka at Galgok-Chisil trench section.

  • The aim of this study was to estimate the service life of alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ)-treated wood. The service life of preservative-treated wood was estimated by comparing a residual quantity of ACQ in wood with toxic threshold to fungi. Indoor and outdoor leaching tests were carried out in order to predict residual ACQ quantity within wood. As a result, the leaching ratio of ACQ from treated wood above ground via precipitation was 18.1% for 50 years. When the H4 treated wood, which is traditionally used in contact with the ground and fresh water, is used above-ground, the leaching ratio of ACQ for 50 years is 18.1% and the residual quantity of ACQ is $4.2kg/m^3$, which is higher than the toxic threshold of ACQ. Thus, the H4 treated wood used above-ground will be resistant to biodeterioration for at least 50 years.
