This study examined the corrosion behavior of bimetal materials composed of Fe-Ni alloy and Fe-Ni-Mo alloy, both suitable for use in electromagnetic switches. Electrochemical polarization and weight loss measurements revealed that, in contrast to Fe-Ni alloy, which exhibited pseudo-passivity behavior, Fe-Ni-Mo alloy had higher anodic current density, displaying only active dissolution and greater weight loss. This indicated a lower corrosion resistance in the Fe-Ni-Mo alloy. Equilibrium calculations for the phase fraction of precipitates suggested that the addition of 1 wt% Mo may lead to the formation of second-phase precipitates, such as Laves and M₆C, in the γ matrix. These precipitates might degrade the homogeneity of the passive film formed on the surface, leading to localized attacks during the corrosion process. Therefore, considering the differences in corrosion kinetics between these bimetal materials, the early degradation caused by galvanic corrosion should be prevented by designing a new alloy, optimizing heat treatment, or implementing periodic in-service maintenance.

Uranium metal particle dispersion plates have been proposed as targets for Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) production to improve the radioisotope production efficiency of conventional low enriched uranium targets. In this study, uranium powder was produced by centrifugal atomization, and miniature target plates containing uranium particles in an aluminum matrix with uranium densities up to 9 $g-U/cm^3$ were fabricated. Additional heat treatment was applied to convert the uranium particles into UAlx compounds by a chemical reaction of the uranium particles and aluminum matrix. Thus, these target plates can be treated with the same alkaline dissolution process that is used for conventional $UAl_x$ dispersion targets, while increasing the uranium density in the target plates.

Alloys of Ti-15Mo-5Zr-3Al(wt%) were oxidized in air between 700 and $900^{\circ}C$. It was found that the oxidation resistance is much better than that of either commercially available pure Ti-6Al-4V(wt%) alloys. The oxide scales were primarily composed of thick Ti-ox-ides which were formed by the inward diffusion of oxygen from the atmosphere. At higher temperatures a thin $\alpha$-$Al_2O_3$ layer was formed on Ti-oxides owing to the outward diffusion of Al from the base alloys. Molybdenum, the noblest metal among the alloy components, was predominantly present behind the oxide-substrate interface. Zirconium, an oxygen active metal, was present at both the oxide layer and the substrate.

The Polymerization of p-chlorophenyl propargyl ether (CPE) was carried out using various transition metal catalysts. The catalytic activity of $MoCl_{5}$-based catalysts was greater than that of $WCl_6$-based catalysts. $MoCl_5$ alone and $MoCl_{5}$-cocatalyst systems polymerized CPE very effectively to give a high yield of poly(CPE). In most cases, the polymer yield was quantitative and the average molecular weight $({\bar{M}}n)$ was in the range of 9,000 and 17,000. The NMR, IR, UV-visible spectra indicated that the present poly(CPE) has a linear conjugated polyene structure having p-chlorophenyl oxymethylene substituent. The poly(CPE) was mostly dark-brown colored powder and was completely soluble in various organic solvents such as chloroform, methylene chloride, THF, chlorobenzene, etc. The X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the present poly(CPE) is amorphous.

The present study deals with the effect of dual cathode buffer layer (CBL) on the performance of bilayer of 4,4'-cyclohexylidenebis[N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)benzenamine] (TAPC) and fullerene (C70)-based organic solar cell (OSC) with low donor concentration. OSC devices with CBLs have been fabricated using thermal vapor deposition technique. We report the use of lithium fluoride (LiF) and molybdenum trioxide ($MoO_3$) as CBLs. The insertion of LiF between C70 and aluminium (Al) electrode enhances the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of device from 1.89% to 2.47% but quenching of photogenerated excitons is observed at interface of C70 and LiF layers. Incorporation of $MoO_3$ between LiF and Al electrode further enhances PCE of device to 3.51%. This has also improved the material quality and device properties, by preventing the formation of gap states and diminishing exciton quenching.

The oxo-nitrosyl complexes (n-Bu4N)2[M4O12Mo(NO)2{RC(NH2)NHO}2{RC(NH)NO}2] (M=Mo, W; R=(CH3)2CH, n-CH3CH2CH2) have been prepared by the reactions of monomeric complex containing {Mo(NO)2}2+ and polyoxometalates with isobutyl- and n-butylamidoxime. The prepared complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and UV-visible spectroscopy. These complexes contain two {M2O5}2+ [M=Mo, W] cores and a central {Mo(NO)2}2+ core. The {Mo(NO)2}2+ unit was the formally cis type and C2v symmetry in geometric structure. The two {M2O5}2+ cores and a central {Mo(NO)2}2+ core were not nearly interacted with electronic localization, which were identified by spectroscopy.

최근에 보고된 양질의 고효율Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) 태양전지는 CIGS광흡수층이 강한 (220:204) 우선배향성을 갖는 것으로 알려져 있다 [1]. 이러한 CIGS우선배향성은 Se 증착압력, Na농도, 기판온도 및 Mo후면전극의 표면상태에 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있지만 정확한 상호관계는 아직 명확히 알려져 있지 않으며, 특히 Mo후면전극의 영향에 대해서는 체계적인 연구결과조차 극히 드문 상황이다 [2]. 본 연구에서는 CIGS 박막의 우선배향성에 대해 Mo후면전극의 미세구조가 미치는 영향 및 이에 따른 cell특성의 변화에 대해서 연구하였다. Mo후면전극의 미세구조는 2 mTorr~16 mTorr까지 증착압력을 변화시켜 제어되었고, CIGS광흡수층은 이렇게 준비된 Mo후면전극상에 3단계 동시증밥법(3-stage process)을 사용하여 형성하였다. XRD를 통한 박막의 우선배향성 평가에서, Mo 증착압력에 대한 IGS I(300)/I(006) 및 CIGS I(220:204)/I(112)의 거동은 Mo 미세구조와 밀접한 관련이 있는 잔류응력(residual stress)의 변화 거동과 상당히 일치함을 보였다. 이에 반해, 높은 압력의 Mo위에 형성된 강한 (220:204) 우선배향성의 CIGS와 bare-glass위에서 형성된 강한 (112) 우선배향성의 CIGS내 Na농도는 서로 유사하였다. 상기의 결과는 Mo미세구조 그 자체가 CIGS 박막 우선배향성의 원인이 됨을 나타낸다. Selenized Mo시편의 XRD분석 및 IGS/Mo 시편의 TEM분석결과을 통해 MoSe2의 반응성이 잔류응력과 비례하는 Mo in-gain 밀도에 의존하는 함을 알 수 있었고, 이러한 MoSe2반응성(reactivity)과 IGS우선배향성 사이에 상당히 밀접한 관련이 있으며 이에 CIGS의 우선배향성이 결정됨을 확인하였다. 마지막으로, Mo변수에 의해 제작된 cell의 특성분석으로부터 cell의 효율이 주로 VOC의 증가에 기인하여 CIGS (220:204) 우선배향성의 정도에 비례하였다.

A nano-$MoS_2$/montmorillonite K-10 (K10) composite was prepared and characterized. The composite contains two types of 2H-$MoS_2$ nanoparticles. One is the hollow spherical $MoS_2$ with a size range of 75 nm, and the other is the spherical nano cluster of $MoS_2$ with a size range of 30 nm. The two kinds of nano-$MoS_2$ were formed via assembly of numerous $MoS_2$ nano-platelets with a size of ~10 nm. A tribological comparison was then made among nano-$MoS_2$/K10, K10, nano-$MoS_2$ and a mechanical mixture of K10 and nano-$MoS_2$. K10 reduced the wear but slightly increased the friction. Nano-$MoS_2$ remarkably reduced both friction and wear. The mechanical mixture demonstrated better wear resistance than nano-$MoS_2$, indicating a synergistic anti-wear effect of nano-$MoS_2$ and K10. The synergistic effect was reinforced using nano-$MoS_2$/K10 instead of the mechanical mixture. A part of the $MoS_2$ in the contact region always lubricated the friction pair, and the rest formed a tribofilm. K10 segregated the friction pair to alleviate the ablation wear but magnified the abrasive wear. S-$MoS_2$ protects K10 and they together function as both a lubricant and an isolating agent to reduce the ablation and abrasive wear.

$MoO_3$ powders were reduced to $MoO_2$ under Ar+$H_2$ gas mixture in a tubular furnace at temperature range 723~873 K. Reaction rate was quantitatively deduced by measuring relative humidity of off gas. Observed reaction rate increased significantly with hydrogen partial pressure and reaction temperature and the rate of $H_2O$ evolution increased drastically during the initial period of reduction. As reduction proceeded, however, $H_2O$ partial pressure decreased noticeably. During the initial period of the reduction, a linear relationship for time dependence of the reduction fraction was observed. The activation energy for the reduction of $MoO_3$ to $MoO_2$was 73.56 kJ/mol during the initial period of reduction.

최근, 유체윤활영역에 있어서 될수 있는 한 점성저항을 감소시키기 위해서 윤활유의 저점도화가 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 윤활유의 저점도화로 인한 문제점으로써 금속-금속간 접식부가 증가하게 된다. 금속간 접식이 증가함에 따라 마찰저항이 커지게 되며, 이와 같은 마찰저항의 증대를 방지하기 위하여 마찰조정제(FM)가 자동차 엔진유를 비롯한 각종 윤활유에 첨가되어지고 있다. 또한 윤활유의 사용조건이 가곡(고온, 고가중) 해짐에 따라 첨가제의 다기능성이 요구되고 있는 가운데, 이와 같은 요구를 만족시켜 주기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 최근에 와서 유용성 유기모리브덴계 화합물이 마찰,마모 및 산화방지제로서 주목받고 있다. 마찰, 마모을 감소시키기 위한 목적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 $MoS_2$는 고체윤활제로서 각광을 받고 있지만, 실제사용상의 문제로서 입자의 크기, 분산상의 문제 및 분산제와의 반응으로 인하여 마찰, 마모를 증대시키므로 역효과를 가져 오기도 한다. $MoS_2$와 같은 고체윤활제의 분상상의 무제점을 보완한 유용성 모리브덴계 화합물은 마찰, 마모 및 산화방지제로서 자동차 엔진유를 비롯하여 각종 윤활유에 첨가되고는 있지만 메카니즘에 대해서는 거의 해명되고 있지 않는 현실정이다. 본 연구는 유용성 유기모리브덴계 화합물중의 Molybdenum dialkyl dithiophosphate (MoDTP)의 마찰감소작용을 해명하기 위해서, MoDTP 첨가제의 마찰시험 및 마찰표면의 분석을 통하여 MoDTP의 마찰감소작용의 메카니즘을 명확하게 함을 자적으로 하고 있다.
