The structural and electrochemical properties of $Li_{0.99}Ni_{0.46}Mn_{1.56}O_4$ ($Fd{\bar{3}}m$, disordered spinel) cathode material were studied and compared with stoichiometric $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ ($P4_332$, ordered spinel). First cycle discharge capacity of $Li_{0.99}Ni_{0.46}Mn_{1.56}O_4$ was similar to that of $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ at C/3 and 1C rate, but cycling performance of $Li_{0.99}Ni_{0.46}Mn_{1.56}O_4$ was better than that of $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ especially at high rate of 1C. This can be explained by performing synchrotron based in-situ XRD and results of GITT measurements. It is considered that faster lithium ion diffusion in the $Li_{0.99}Ni_{0.46}Mn_{1.56}O_4$ cathode results in the improvement of the rate capability. To study structural changes during cycling, synchrotron in-situ XRD patterns of both the samples were recorded at C/3 and 1C rate. Compared to stoichiometric $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$, disordered $Li_{0.99}Ni_{0.46}Mn_{1.56}O_4$ spinel sample has pseudo one phase behavior and one step phase transition between two cubic phases. So, $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ would experience a much greater strain and stress, originating from the two phase transitions between three cubic phases and suffer from capacity loss during cycling especially at high rate.

N- or O-doped STS304 stainless films were synthesized by an unbalanced magnetron sputtering process with various argon and reactive gas ($N_2$, $O_2$) mixtures. These films were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and Knoop microhardness tester. The Results from X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that a STS304 stainless steel film synthesized without reactive gas using a bulk STS304 stainless steel target had a ferrite bcc structure ($\alpha$ phase), while the N-doped STS304 stainless film was consisted of a nitrogen supersaturated fcc structure, which hsa a strong ${\gamma}$(200) phase. In the O-doped films, oxide Phases ($Fe_2$$O_3$ and $Cr_2$$O_3$) were observed from the films synthesized under an excess $O_2$ flow rate of 9sccm. AES analysis showed that nitrogen content in N-doped films increased as the nitrogen flow rate increased. Approximately 43 at.%N in the N-doped film was measured using a nitrogen flow rate of 8sccm. In O-doped film, approximately 15 at.%O was detected using a $O_2$ flow rate of 12sccm. the Knoop microhardness value of N-doped film using a nitrogen flow rate of 8 sccm was measured to be approximately $H_{ k}$ 1200 and this high value could be attributed to the fine grain size and increased residual stress in the N-doped film.

전분은 친환경적인 천연자원이다. 건축 재료로서 활용 가능한 전분-아크릴 코팅졸을 유화중합으로 합성하였다. 제조된 합성물은 IR, $^1H$-NMR을 이용하여 구조를 분석하였고, X-ray Diffraction, 발포 시험, 백색도 시험, 광택도 시험과 인장 강도를 측정을 통하여 물리적 특성을 조사하였다. 전분-아크릴 폴리머 메트릭스에서 전분의 무정형 상태는 XRD결과로 알 수 있었다. 에멀젼을 60% $CaCO_3$ 수용액과 1%, 3%, 5% 발포제와 배합하였다. 그 결과 전분과 발포제의 양이 증가할수록 발포율이 증가하였다. 전분과 발포제의 양이 증가하면 인장 강도가 증가하였다. 그러나 전분과 발포제의 증가로 인해 백색도와 광택도는 감소하였다.

C_f/SiC 복합재는 저밀도, 높은 기계적 강도, 우수한 열 안정성을 가지고 있어 로켓 추진기관, 항공 및 군사 분야 등의 고온 응용 산업에 유망한 재료이다. 그러나 용융 실리콘 함침(Liquid Silicon Infiltration, LSI) 공정을 통해 제작된 복합재는 잔존하는 Si에 의하여 물리적, 열적 특성이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 LSI 공정을 통해 제작된 C_f/SiC 복합재의 내부 Si을 제거하기 위한 방안으로 탈규소화(de-siliconization) 공정을 도입하였다. 최대 5분 동안 옥시아세틸렌 토치 테스트를 진행하고 시편의 산화된 표면과 단면은 3D scanning, X-ray diffraction(XRD), 광학현미경(OM), 전자주사현미경(SEM)으로 분석하였다.

Heteroepitaxial $Y_2O_3$ films were grown on a Si(111) substrate by ionized cluster beam deposition(ICBD) in ultra high vacuum, and its qualities such as crystllitnity, film stress, and morphological characteristics were investigated using the various measurement methods. The crystallinity was investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Interface crystallinity was also examined by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy(RBS) channeling, transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The stress of the films was measured by RBS channeling and XRD. Surface and interface morphological characteristics were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and x-ray scattering method. Comparing the interface with the surface characteristics, we can conclude that many defects at the interface region were generated by interface reaction between the yttrium metal and SiO2 layer and by ion beam characteristic such as shallow implantation, so that they influenced the film qualities. The film quality was dominantly depended on the characteristic temperature range. In the temperature range from $500^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$, the crystallinity was mainly improved and the surface roughness was drastically decreased. On the other hand, in the temperature range from $600^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$, the compressive stress and film density were dominantly increased, and the island size was more decreased. Also the surface morphological shape was transformed from elliptical shape to triangular. The film stress existed dominantly at the interface region due to the defects generation.

본 연구에서는 IZO를 활성층으로 하고 $HfSiO_x$를 절연층으로 한 TFT에 대하여 그 성능을 측정하였다. $HfSiO_x$는 $HfO_2$ target과 Si target을 co-sputtering 하여 증착하였으며 RF power를 달리 하여 네 가지의 $HfSiO_x$ 박막을 제작하였다. 공정의 간소화를 위해 게이트 전극을 제외한 모든 층들은 RF-magnetron sputtering system과 shadow mask만을 이용하여 증착하였으며 공정의 간소화를 위해 어떠한 열처리도 하지 않았다. 네 가지 $HfSiO_x$ 박막의 구조적 변화를 X-ray diffraction(XRD), atomic force microscopy(AFM)을 통해 분석하였고, 그 전기적 특성을 확인하였다. 박막 내 $HfO_2$와 Si의 조성비에 따라 그 특성이 현저히 차이가 남을 확인하였다. $HfO_2$(100W)-Si(100W)의 조건으로 증착한 $HfSiO_x$ 박막을 절연층으로 한 소자의 특성이 전류 점멸비 5.89E+05, 이동도 2.0[$cm^2/V{\cdot}s$], 문턱전압 -0.5[V], RMS 0.263[nm]로 가장 좋은 결과로 나타났다. 따라서 $HfSiO_x$ 박막 내의 적절한 $HfO_2$와 Si의 조성비가 계면의 질을 향상시킴은 물론, $HfO_2$자체의 trap이나 defect를 효과적으로 줄여 줌으로써 소자의 성능 향상에 중요한 요소라 판단된다.

A sol-gel processing of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ superconductor using metal nitrate salts and sodium hydroxide as the starting materials has been investigated because of the need to produce pure, hompgeneous superconducting materials. Since the precipitation of barium hydroxides can be obtained only at high basicities, the process has to be carried out Ca. pH 13 to get the simultaneous coprecipitation with the other metal hydroxides. The involved reaction mechanisms were investigated and intermediate and final products were characterized by means of thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), infra-red(IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), thermal mechanical analysis(TMA) and electrical measurement.

In order to apply WO3 thin films to the semiconducting NOx gas sensors as a sensing material, which have been expected to show good electrical properties, such as large sensitivity, rapid responsibility, and high selectivity, the fabrication method and their sensing characteristics were studied. The variations of surface morphologies, crystallographic orientations and crystallinity with the WO3 thin film growing methods thermal evaporation and DC sputtering methods were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis. As a result of sensitivity (Rgas/Rair) measurements for the 5 ppm NO2 test gas, the sensitivity values were 113 for the sputtered films and 93 for the evaporated films. It was also observed that the recovery rate of a sensing signal after measuring sensitivity was faster in the sputtered films than in the evaporated films.
