Solid solutions of Pr2-xBaxNiO4±δ with K2NiF4-type structure were prepared in air and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Rietveld refinements, iodometry titrations, and conductivity measurements. The range of the solid solution was 0 ≤ x < 0.5. The crystal structure changes from orthorhombic (Fmmm) for x ≤ 0.1 to pseudo-tetragonal (I4/mmm) for x ≥ 0.2. The orthorhombic structure of x=0.1 transforms to tetragonal at low temperature. The bond distances obtained from the Rietvel analyses did not vary significantly with the Ba content except that of Ni-O (parallel to the c-axis) which showed an abrupt increase from x=0.1 to 0.2. The excess oxygen content (δ) decreases from 0.241 to 0.03 with increasing substituted Ba contents within the solution range. The samples are all semiconductors at the temperature range 4 < T < 300 K.

Conventional carbon mild steel is a type of steel known for its low carbon content and generally used in the construction industry. Its easily formable and weldable properties make this steel a widely preferred material for buildings, bridges and various construction projects. Other advantages of these steels are their low cost and good mechanical properties. However, high temperatures have an impact on the microstructure and mechanical characteristics of these materials. When high temperatures are present during a fire, steels show significant microstructural changes. Elevated temperatures often decrease the mechanical characteristics of steels. For this purpose, evaluating the post-fire behavior of conventional structural mild steel is an important issue in terms of safety. A combined experimental and parametric study was conducted to estimate fire damage to steel buildings, which is an important issue in the construction field. Tensile test coupons were cut from conventional structural S235JR mild steel sheets with thicknesses ranging from 6 mm to 12 mm. These samples were exposed to temperatures as high as 1200 ℃. After heat treatment, the specimens were allowed to naturally cool to ambient temperature using air cooling before being tested. A tensile test was performed on these coupons to evaluate their mechanical properties after fire, such as their elastic modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength. The mechanical behavior of conventional S235JR structural steel changed significantly when the heating temperature reached 600℃. The thickness of the steel had a negligible effect on yield strength loss, with the highest measured loss being 50% for 8 mm thickness at 1200℃. For thinner sections (6 mm), yield strength decreased by up to 40%, while thicker samples (12 mm) showed similar reductions. Ultimate tensile strength also showed minimal changes up to 600℃, but beyond this point, a notable decline occurred, with approximately 30% strength loss at 1200℃. The modulus of elasticity remained almost constant up to 800℃, but at 1200℃, the loss reached around 20% for thicker sections (10 mm and 12 mm) and up to 35% for thinner sections (6 mm and 8 mm). Overall, high temperatures led to significant deterioration in both yield and ultimate strength, with a general loss of load-bearing capacity above 600℃. A new equation was formulated from experimental results to predict changes in the mechanical properties of S235JR steels. This equation offers a precise evaluation of buildings made from conventional structural S235JR mild steel after fire exposure. Furthermore, the empirical equation is applicable to low-strength steels with yield strengths ranging from 235 MPa to 420 MPa.

This qualitative study aimed to develop a structural framework that explains the process of psychological adaptation and sequential changes being perceived by Korean people under the COVID-19 Pandemic past year. Setting a tentative analysis frame induced from antecedent literatures about psychological phenomena during the COVID-19 pandemic, the qualitative data were collected from 6 Korean adults by semi structured individual interviews. For the data, content analysis applied from the grounded theory were performed. As a result, the initial framework was extended and revised to describe the psychological phenomena under the pandemic. This paradigm structure includes the process of 'causal factors ⇒ psychological main phenomena ⇒ sequential results' being intervened by personal contextual situations and psychological characteristics, as moderators. The category of causal factors were the COVID-19 pandemic, relevant critical incidents, and social distancing policy. The main phenomena reflected either positive, negative, or complicated experiences. The sequential psychological results included transformation of cognitive system or behavior patterns. Various variables such as psychological sense of community and social responsibility, psychological capability for leisure, and positive psychological capital were found out as moderating factors. In discussion and conclusion, theoretical/practical implications of the results and direction to study in the future were suggested.

We have studied structural, optical, and electrical properties of the Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films being usable in transparent conducting oxides. The AZO thin films were deposited on the corning 1737 glass plate by the RF magnetron sputtering system. To find optimal properties of AZO for transparent conducting oxides, the RF power in sputtering process was varied as 40 W, 60 W, and 80 W, respectively. As RF power increased, the crystallinity of AZO thin film was decreased, the optical bandgap of AZO thin film increased. The transmittance of the film was over 80% in the visible light range regardless of the changes in RF power. The measurement of Hall effect characterizes the whole thin film as n-type, and the electrical property was improved with increasing RF power. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of the AZO thin films were affected by Al dopant content in AZO thin film.

Current study was undertaken to explain the structural evolution and corresponding changes in the properties of calcium aluminate glasses with the variation of SiO2 doping concentration. Calcium aluminate glasses in the compositional ranges of (100-x)(0.6CaO+0.4Al2O3)+xSiO2(where x=0~60) were fabricated. DTA analysis confirmed an anomalous behavior in glass transition temperature (Tg) with the maximum of 887$^{\circ}C$ and minimum of 859$^{\circ}C$ when x=5 and 50, respectively. densities and refractive indices monotonically decreased with increasing SiO2 content and IR transmitting cutoff shifted to shorter wavelength side when the amount of added SiO2 exceeded 5 mole%. IR fundamental vibration absorption peaks showed the change that NBOs were inclined to SiO4 tetrahedron in the low-silica region and NBO per SiO4 tetrahedra changed from 2 to 0 with increasing silica content. Based on the analysis of IR fundamental vibration absorption peaks, the model of the structural change can be proposed in three step: 1) SiO4 scavenged the NBOs located at AlO4-tetrahedra, which resulted in the increased of Tg values, 2) NBOs located in the main network again with a decrease in Tg, and 3) dominated by the decrease in the relative amount of NBOs in the glass system, where Tg re-increased.

Structural rearrangements of uni-axially deformed polyethylenes containing 1-octene comonomer and HDPE upon heating were investigated by time-resolved small and wide angle X-ray scattering techniques. During heating, structural changes including crystal transformation and lamellar rearrangement noted were very different depending on the comonomer contents. At low comonomer content below 2 wt%, inverse martensitic transformation of crystal lattice from monoclinic to orthorhombic cell and the rearrangement of broken lamellar units into more ordered and perfect lamellar stacks were noted with the temperature increase. At high contents above 9.5 wt%, however, polyethylene copolymers showed neither the crystal transformation nor lamellar rearrangement that can be attributed to low crystallinity and high content of branch units.

The alloy content of structural materials of nuclear power plants has been recognized an important factor in predicting flow accelerated corrosion (FAC). In particular, many literature data reported that chromium content is one of the most important alloying element and even a small amount of chromium is effective to suppress FAC. This report reviewed and compared chromium models of Ducreux, Bouchacourt, and Kastner which were used in predicting FAC rates. The plant data indicate that Ducreux model may be conservative for the specimen containing 0.15 wt% chromium. The related articles were reviewed as follows. Combined effects of chromium content, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), flow velocity, test time, and kinds of amine on the FAC rate were described. 0.1 wt% chromium in steel did not affect the FAC rate with changes in pH. The FAC rates pronounced with higher flow rate and increased with increasing test duration(600 d) for 0.013 wt% chromium. The FAC rates in mixed amine chemistry were higher than in ammonia chemistry, which may be lessened by the addition of chromium to the steel.

The glass formation and structural change with the glass compositions were investigated in the CaO-P2O5-SiO2 system with less than 40 wt% of P2O5. The glass formation range was determined by XRD, SEM and EDS techniques for water quenched specimens. The structural analyses were made for binary CaO-SiO2 glasses and ternary CaO-P2O5-SiO2 glasses by using FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. The glass formation was affected by CaO/SiO2 mole ratio, P2O5 content and primary crystalline phase. The stable glass formation range was found when the transformed CaO/SiO2 mole ratio (new factor derived from structural changes) was in the range of 0.72~1.15 with less than 10 mol% of P2O5. The structural analyses of CaO-SiO2 glasses indicated that as the CaO/SiO2 ratio was increased, the nonbridging oxygens in the structural unit of the glasses were increased. With addition of P2O5 to CaO-SiO2 glasses, the P2O5 enhanced the polymerization of [SiO4] tetrahedra unit in CaO-SiO2 glasses, which contained a large portion of nonbridging oxygen. The phosphate eliminated nonbridging oxygens from silicate species, forcing polymerization of silicate structures and produced in [PO4] monomer in glasses. When added P2O5 was kept constant, the structural change with various CaO/SiO2 ratio was very similar to that of CaO-SiO2 glasses.
