Effect of dealloying condition on the formation of nanoporous structure in melt-spun $Al_{60}Ge_{30}Mn_{10}$ alloy has been investigated in the present study. In as-melt-spun $Al_{60}Ge_{30}Mn_{10}$ alloy spinodal decomposition occurs in the undercooled liquid during cooling, leading to amorphous phase separation. By immersing the as-melt-spun $Al_{60}Ge_{30}Mn_{10}$ alloy in 5 wt% HCl solution, Al-rich amorphous region is leached out, resulting in an interconnected nano-porous $GeO_x$ with an amorphous structure. The dealloying temperature strongly affects the whole dealloying process. At higher dealloying temperature, dissolution kinetics and surface diffusion/agglomeration rate become higher, resulting in the accelerated dealloying kinetics, i.e., larger dealloying depth and coarser pore-ligament structure.

일반적으로 다공성 비대칭막은 상분리법에 의하여 제조하는데, 분리막을 구성하는 고분자를 적절한 용매에 녹인 제막용액을 일정한 두께로 casting하고 이를 비용매에 담가서 binodal/spinodal decomposition이 일어나도록 하여 제조한다. 이 방법으로 제조된 다공성 분리막의 성능은 표면층에 존재하는 pore의 크기와 그 분포 및 porosity에 의해 결정된다. Casting된 고분자 용액을 비용매에 침지시켜 다공성막을 형성시킬 경우 막의 표면과 비용매 사이의 계면에서 용매와 비용매의 교환이 일어난다. 용매-비용매 교환이 일어나면 제막된 고분자 용액내의 비용매의 양이 증가되어 열역학적으로 불안정해져 상분리가 일어난다. 그런데, 이때 용매-비용매의 교환이 매우 빠른 속도로 일어나므로 pore-size 및 그의 분포를 조절하기가 매우 어렵다. 표면층의 pore size와 분포를 조절하기 위하여 그간 고분자 용액내의 고분자 농도조절, 첨가제의 사용, 비용매의 조성을 바꾸는 등의 여러가지 방법에 대한 연구가 진행되어 왔다.

본 논문에서는 InGaAsP 에피막에서 도핑 농도와 에피막의 미세조직구조가 photoluminescence (PL) 스펙트럼의 위치 및 형상에 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 연구하였고, 그 결과를 설명하기 위해 가능한 모델을 제시하였다. InGaAsP 에피막(발진파장 ~1.3$\mu$m) 을 액상증착법(liquid phase epitaxy, LPE)으로 성장하여 9K에서 PL측정을 했을 때 InGaAsP 활성층 내 Zn 억셉터의 유무에 따라 PL 피크의 위치가 최대 30nm (24meV)까지 shift하고 피크의 선폭도 넓어지는 현사을 발견하였다. 이와같은 피크 분산현상은 inGaAsP 에피막이 유기금속 기상증착법으로 성장되거나 Zn로 고농도로 도핑되거나 고온에서 어닐링 될 경우 대폭 감소하였다. 이를 설명하기 위해 여러 가지 모델을 설정하여 실험을 하였으며 이 중 InGaAsP 에피막의 미세조직구조 특히 Spinodal 분해에 의한 조성이 모듈레이션과 Zn의 상호작용의 관계가 이 현상을 설명하는 데 가장 적절하다는 것을 밝혔다.

MBE 성장시 기판 표면에서의 성장과정을 운동론적 지배과정과 열역학적 지배과정으로 나누어 성장모델을 제시하였으며, 화학적 평형상태에서의 열역학이 III-V compound의 성장속도와 composition 에 미치는 영향을 기존의 보고된 결과 데이터와 비교 분석하였다. 특히 miscibility gap 내에 존재하는 III-V ternary compound의 경우 박막의 성질 및 소자의 특성에 영향을 미치는 alloy clustering은 저온 성장시 surface kinetics에 의해, 고온성장시에는 열역학적 spinodal decomposition에 의해 결정됨을 알수 있었다. 열역학적 모델에서는 기판과 layer사이의 lattice mismatch와 재료의 elastic coefficient의 함수인 additive strain Gibbs free energy, 그리고 ternary solid solution의 regular behavior를 가정하여 ternary alloy의 mixing에 기인한 excess Gibbs free energy를 고려하였다.

Fe-Co-Ni particles with an average size of 45 and 135 nm are characterized in terms of magnetic phase transformation and magnetic properties at room temperature. BCC structure of Fe-Co-Ni spherical particles can be synthesized from Fe-Co-Ni-Al-Cu precursor films by heating at 600-80$0^{\circ}C$ for the phase separation of Fe-Co rich Fe-Co-Ni particles, followed by a post heating at $600^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours. The average size of nanoparticles was directly determined by the thickness of precursor films. Exchange interactive hysteresis was observed for the nano-composite (Fe-Co-Ni)+(Fe-Ni-Al) films resulting from the short exchange interface between ferromagnetic Fe-Co-Ni particles surrounded by almost papramagnetic Ni-Al-Fe matrix. Arraying the isolated Fe-Co-Ni nano-particles in a random arrangement on $Al_2O_3$substrate the particle assembly showed a behavior of dipole interactive ferromagnetic clusters depending on their volume and inter-particle distance.

Porous membranes were prepared via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) of (ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) (EVOH)/glycerol mixtures. The liquid-liquid (L-L) phase boundaries are shifted to higher temperature when the ethylene contents in EVOH increase. Moreover, the kinetic study proved that the growth of droplets formed by the general liquid-liquid (L-L) phase separation obeyed a power-law scaling relationship in the later stage of spinodal decomposition (SD). A new phase separation mechanism was presented, in which the L-L phase separation could be resulted from the crystallization. The hollow fiber membranes were prepared. The membranes showed asymmetric structures with skin layer near the outer surface, the larger pores just below the skin layer and the smaller pores near the inner surface. The effect of ethylene content (EC) in EVOH, cooling water bath temperature and take-up speed on membrane performance was investigated.

Cast duplex stainless steels are extensively used for primary pressure boundary components. These components are, however, embrittled due to the precipitation of $\alpha$' phase by spinodal decomposition and other processes when exposed to reactor operating temperature for a design lifetime or life extension conditions. This report presents a procedure for estimating the current condition and the residual life of safety-related stainless steel components by using ANL database and correlations. The database of Charpy impact energy suggests that CF-8M grade is the most susceptible to thermal aging and CF-3 grade is the least. Thus, the integrity of CF-8M alleys may be degraded seriously and the degree of deterioration may exceed acceptance limit after several years of service in the nuclear reactors.

Cast austenitic stainless steel is used for several components, such as primary coolant piping, elbow, pump casing and valve bodies in light water reactors. These components are subject to thermal aging at the reactor operating temperature. Thermal aging results in spinodal decomposition of the delta-ferrite leading to increased strength and decreased toughness. This study shows that ferrite content can be predicted by use of the artificial neural network. The neural network has trained teaming data of chemical components and ferrite contents using backpropagation learning process. The predicted results of the ferrite content using trained neural network are in good agreement with experimental ones.

Giant magnetoresistance(GMR) of $Cu_{85-x}Co_{15}Ni_{x}$ melt-spu ribbons is closely correlated with the microstructure produced by the spinodal decomposition. The solid solution range is extanded by the replacement of Cu by Ni in the as-quenched state. The wavelengths obtained by subsequent isothermal aging in Cu-Co-Ni ribbons are shorter than those in Cu-Co binary ribbons, resulting in the increase of the surface-to-volume ratio. The largest MR ratio of 8 % in high field has been achieved in the $Cu_{80}Co_{15}Ni_{5}$ aged ribbon. The field dependence of MR ratio in low fields becomes larger with the Ni content.

In this paper, we perform a direct comparison study of real experimental data for domain rearrangement and the Cahn-Hilliard (CH) equation on the dynamics of morphological evolution. To validate a mathematical model for physical phenomena, we take initial conditions from experimental images by using an image segmentation technique. The image segmentation algorithm is based on the Mumford-Shah functional and the Allen-Cahn (AC) equation. The segmented phase-field profile is similar to the solution of the CH equation, that is, it has hyperbolic tangent profile across interfacial transition region. We use unconditionally stable schemes to solve the governing equations. As a test problem, we take domain rearrangement of lipid bilayers. Numerical results demonstrate that comparison of the evolutions with experimental data is a good benchmark test for validating a mathematical model.
