  • 대기 중에 존재하는 화합물의 반응을 연구하는 것은 대기 오염 화합물의 이동이나 소멸, 환경에의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 긴요하다. 특히 입자상 물질과 기체상 화합물과의 반응을 명확히 이해하는 것은 대기 오염물질의 거동을 파악하는데 매우 중요하다. 입자상 물질을 분석하는 방법 중에 EPMA(Electron Probe X-ray Microanalysis)를 이용한 단일 입자 분석법(Single Particle Analysis)은 개개 입자의 형상과 크기 그리고 화학 조성에 대한 정보를 동시에 제공하기 때문에 개개 입자의 생성, 이동, 반응성, 소멸 그리고 환경에의 영향에 대한 자세한 정보를 얻을 수 있다.

  • 우리나라의 폐기물 발생총량은 꾸준히 증가추세를 보이는 가운데, 최근 생활폐기물의 처리현황을 보면 재활용이나 소각이 매년 증가하고 있다. 쓰레기 소각율이 높아지고 대형 소각시설이 증가하면서부터 소각 후에 발생하는 도시 소각재의 처리 및 재활용의 문제가 중요한 관심사가 되고 있다. 소각재의 효과적이고 안전한 취급을 위해서는 그것의 화학적 성질에 관한 지식이 중요하다. Kirby and Rimstldt$^{[1]}$ 는 Charlotte (USA)에 소재하는 두 곳의 소각로에서 나온 Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) ash를_체계적으로 분석하여 화학적 조성에 대한 연구를 행한 바 있다. (중략)

  • Atom probe tomography is a time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based microanalysis technique based on the field evaporation of surface atoms of a tip-shaped specimen under an extremely high surface electric field. It enables three-dimensional characterization for deeper understanding of chemical nature in conductive materials at nanometer/atomic level, because of its high depth and spatial resolutions and ppm-level sensitivity. Indeed, the technique has been widely used to investigate the elemental partitioning in the complex microstructures, the segregation of solute atoms to the boundaries, interfaces, and dislocations as well as following of the evolution of precipitation staring from the early stage of cluster formation to the final stage of the equilibrium precipitates. The current review article aims at giving a comment to first atom probe users regarding the limitation of the techniques, providing a brief perspective on how we correctly interprets atom probe data for targeted applications.

  • Microstructural analysis was conducted to observe the effect of aging treatments in a Cr-Mn austenitic stainless steel containing nitrogen, and the amount, size, shape and distribution of precipitates were investigated. It was found that on water quenching from $1000^{\circ}C$ after holding 3 h at that temperature, the steel contained no precipitates observable by optical microscopy. Precipitation of phases begins at places most favorable for the formation of nuclei-in the boundaries of grains and twins. Precipitates were studied in detail by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Chemical compositions of precipitates were examined by the use of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) together with an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis. Also chromium depletion adjacent to grain boundary precipitates was investigated by the use of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) for a direct examination of the fracture surface chemistry.

  • The microanalysics by the direct observation of 180 (P, a)'" nuclear reactions on tungsten (110) surfaceare investigated using a 2MeV Van de Graaff accelerator. This method allows the determination of very smallquantities of nuclei near the surface of samples. The yields increase with oxygen exposure. The oxygen coverage, 0, is 0.5 at 5 Langmuir and 1.0 at 15 Langmuir.5 Langmuir.

  • The TiB2-reinforced iron matrix nanocomposite (Fe-TiB2) was in-situ fabricated from titanium hydride (TiH2) and iron boride (FeB) powders by a simple and cost-effective process that combines the mechanical activation (MA) and a subsequent heat treatment (HT). Effect of milling factors and synthesized temperatures on the formation of the nanocomposite were presented and discussed. A differential thermal analyser (DSC-TG) was employed for examination of thermal behavior of MAed powders. Phases of the nanocomposite were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The morphologies and microstructure of nanocomposite were investigated by field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Phase composition and distribution were analyzed by electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPMA). Results showed that TiB2 particles formed in nanoscale were uniformly distributed in alloyed Fe matrix.

  • The present study has shown that the effect of boron and phosphorus in Ni-Cr-Si-X alloy to interfacial reactions and bonding strength of diamond-steel substrate, and the influence of various construction parameters on the formation of the topography of the tool. And these factors are required to making a good brazed tool. The microstructures and phase change of the brazed region were analyzed into SEM, EDS. According to the electron probe microanalysis, while brazing, the chromium present in the brazing alloy segregated preferentially to the surface of the diamond to form a chromium rich reaction product, which was readily wetted by the alloy.

  • The syntheses of DTPA-bis(amide) conjugates of phosphonated cyclohexane moieties (5a-d) and their Gd(III) complexes of the type $[Gd(L)(H_2O)]{\cdot}nH_2O$ (6a-d; L = 5a-d) are described. All new compounds have been characterized by microanalysis and spectroscopic techniques. High $r_1$ relaxivities of aqueous solutions of 6a-d are observed to be in the range of $10.7-18.3\;mM^{-1}sec^{-1}$, which compare much better than that of $Omniscan^{(R)}$ ($r_1=3.90\;mM^{-1}sec^{-1}$).
