This study has focused on the possibility for recycling tailings from the Sangdong tungsten mine as admixture for concrete. The XRD(X-ray diffraction analysis) and PSA(Particle size analysis) were performed to find mineralogical characteristics. As a result of XRD analysis, the tailings were composed of quartz, feldspars and muscovites, and C-S-H and quartz were found in cement mortar. As a result of KSLT for cement mortar mixed with tailings, most of heavy metals were determined as below the guide line for waste material. In addition, the setting time and compressive strength of cement mortar mixed with tailings were investigated. It was indicated that the initial and final set were retarded according to increasing replacement. The compressive strength of mortar was decreased with increasing replacement.

In this study, the change of composition of cement hardened at high temperature through XRD was observed. The specimen was made of cement paste and the heating rate condition was applied at rapid thermal annealing (10.0℃ / min). The decrease of calcium hydroxide was not confirmed, but the calcium carbonate tended to be impossible or decreased after 800℃. Calcium silicate and larnite were observed to increase with increasing temperature. It is considered that silicic acid, which is a stable structure due to the decomposition of calcium silicate, is changed into a phase such as lime.

Lithium inserted into artificial carbon has been synthesized as a function of the Li concentration. The characteristics of these prepared compounds were determined from the studies using X-ray diffraction(XRD), solid nuclear magnetic resonance (NM R) spectrophotometric and differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) analysis. X-ray diffraction showed that lower stage intercalation compounds were formed with increasing Li concentration. In the case of the AG3, most compounds formed were of the stage 1 structure. Pure stage 1 structural defects of artificial graphite were not observed. 7Li-NMR data showed that bands are shifted toward higher frequencies with increasing lithium concentration; this is because non-occupied electron shells of Li increased in charge carrier density. Line widths of the Li inserted carbon compounds decreased slowly because of nonhomogeneous local magnetic order and the random electron spin direction for located Li between graphene layers. The enthalpy and entropy changes of the compounds can be obtained from the differential scanning calorimetric analysis results. From these results, it was found that exothermic and endothermic reactions of lithium inserted into artificial carbon are related to the thermal stability of lithium between artificial carbon graphene layers.

It is quite difficult to identify its corrosion compound because they have a wide variety of crystal structures and they are mixed with two component. This study was conducted with the standard iron corrosion compounds through the analysis by Raman Micro-Spectroscopy, which aims to obtain standard Raman Data. To assess the reliability of standard iron corrosion compounds, SEM-EDS analysis and XRD analysis were conducted. Through SEM-EDS analysis, the elements of corrosion compound matched with those of standards iron corrosion compounds except Goethite. XRD analysis showed that the structures of corrosion compounds were identical to those of standard iron corrosion compounds, however, it was identified that Iron sulfate ($FeSO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$) is the Rozenite ($FeSO_4{\cdot}4H_2O$). Through Raman Micro-Spectroscopy analysis, the new peak was detected from the wavenumbers of hydroxide and iron oxide. It is considered that it is due to changes in the wavelength of the laser. As the wavenumbers of iron chloride and iron sulfate have been identified, eight kinds of Raman Data were obtained. It can be considered to contribute to cultral heritage for iron objects that Raman Micro-Spectroscopy analysis which is relatively easy to compare material properties and structures can be highly applicable to the research on cultural heritage with the limited amount of samples.

$LiCoO_{2}$ powders were synthesized at various temperatures using lithium hydroxide and cobalt hydroxide as precursors prepared by precipitation process and freeze-drying. In this study, the$LiCoO_{2}$ samples were synthesized via a solid state reaction with various LiOH concentration between 10 % and 30 % excess. And $LiCoO_{2}$powders were calcined at 600~$800^{\circ}C$ in a short time. Measurements of XRD and SEM were performed to characterize the properties of the prepared materials. The effect of amount of Li ions on the structural change in powder has been examined using the XRD analysis. For the not added excess of LiOH, CoOOH phase presented in the XRD pattern of $LiCoO_{2}$ due to loss of Li ions during firing. The morphology and particle size of the powders were examined using SEM. The obtained powders are high temperature-$LiCoO_{2}$HT-LiCoO$_{2}$) and homogeneous with the range of grain size in the order of hundreds of nanometers. The effects of variation of LiOH concentration on the structural change in powder were investigated using the Rietveld analysis. As an analysis result, c/a is constant by 4.99 on all occasions. Finally, the structure of HT-$LiCoO_{2}$ was simulated by the commercial software $Creius^{2}$(Molecular Simulations, Inc.) from the results of Rietveld analysis.

The electrochemical conversion of $CO_2$ is one of the methods for reducing $CO_2$. Four materials (Ag, Ni, Pt, and Ir) were selected as the electrodes. The electrochemical conversion was performed under a cell voltage of 4.0 V at $600^{\circ}C$. The amounts of $CO_2$ reduction and carbon production were at the highest for Ag, followed by, Pt, Ni, and then Ir. The produced carbon samples were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis and XRD. The thermogravimetric analysis results indicated that all the carbon produced at each electrode exhibited similar thermal reactivity. The XRD results showed that the crystallization of carbon was different depending on the electrode utilized. Although electrochemical conversion was the highest for the Ag electrode, a loss of material accompanied it. Therefore, for this study, the optimal electrode is Pt, taking into account reactivity and material losses.

Aluminum nitride(AIN) thin films were deposited by reactive single ion beam sputtering using N2 or NH3 as reactive gas. The structural, compositional and optical properties of AIN thin films were characterized by XRD, GAXRD, TEM, SEM, XPS UV/VIS spectrophotometer, and FT-IR. All the deposited AIN thin films were amorphous by the analysis fo XRD and GAXRD. However, TEM analysis showed that AIN nano-crystallites were uniformly distributed in the films. The presence of Al-N bonds were also confirmed by FT-IR and XPS analyses. The optical bandgap of AIN films increased up to 6.2 eV and the transmittance was a-bout 100% in visible range with approaching the stoichimetric composition. Irrespective of using N2 or NH3 as reactive gas, the deposited AIN thin films had very smooth surface morphologies. Their refractive index ranged from 1.6 to 1.7.

This paper reports the correlation between dielectric constant and degree of amorphism of the hybrid type SiOC thin films. SiOC thin films were deposited by high density plasma chemical vapor deposition using bistrimethyl- silylmethane(BTMSM,$H_{9}C_{3}-Si-CH_{2}-Si-C_{3}H_{9}$) and oxygen precursors with various flow rate ratio. As-deposited film and annealed films at $400^{\circ}C$ were analyzed by XRD. The SiOC thin films were amorphous from XRD patterns. For quantitative analysis, the diffraction pattern of the samples was transformed to radial distribution function by Fourier analysis, and then compared with each other. The degree of amorphism of annealed films was higher than that of as-deposited ones. The dielectric constant varied in accordance with flow rate ratio of precursors. The lowest dielectric constant was obtained from the as-deposited film which has the highest degree of amorphism after annealing.
