    학위논문(박사) - 한국과학기술원 : 재료공학과, 2002.8, [ xiii, 143 p. ]The lithium nickelate is the possible candidate, which can replace the commercially available lithium cobaltate, and have a greater discharging capacity with the problems like the lithium deficiency during synthesis and thermal instability at charged state. These problems hinder the commercialization of lithium nickelate as the positive electrode for the lithium ion battery. To solve these matters, many researches have been done in the fields like oxygen flowing environment during the synthesis and the substitution in lithium or nickel site. However, more importantly, the strong nickel reducibility, which is originated from the electron affinity of nickel, is the key role in both perspectives. During the synthesis of lithium nickelate, the lithium deficiency is induced by the nickel reduction, and for the charging stage, the reduction of nickel lead to the thermal decomposition to rock salt structure at above ambient temperature. Therefore, in this study, to limit the nickel reducibility, there are two ways of approaches. The one is involving with the Ni3+Ni^{3+} precursors. Generally, the oxidation state of the available nickel precursor for the many different synthesis routes is 2+2^+. There’s no commercially available Ni3+Ni^{3+} precursor because of instability and hard to be synthesized. If the lithium nickelate is prepared by using Ni2+Ni^{2+} precursor with heavy oxidation scheme, the nickel reducibility to 2+2^+ state cannot be sustained. Then, the more stable Ni3+Ni^{3+} precursor is synthesized in this study, and used in several synthesis routes. For the proper Ni3+Ni^{3+} precursor, β- NiOOH is chosen, because that the structure is same as lithium nickelate, αNaFeO2α-NaFeO_2, and great tendency to interchange ion between hydrogen and alkali earth metals, i.e. lithium. The β-NiOOH is prepared from Ni(OH)2Ni(OH)_2, which is one of the Ni2+Ni^{2+} precursor, at 125℃ for 24 hours with 300ml/min of flowing oxygen. The pre-oxidized powder is determined as desirable phase, NiOOH...한국과학기술원 : 재료공학과

    학위논문(박사) - 한국과학기술원 : 재료공학과, 2000.2, [ vii, 121 p. ]The thermo-mechanical behavior of multilayer structures is a subject of perennial interest. A vast literature exists on this topic. While some useful closed-form expressions have been developed under certain sets of assumptions and using different approximations, most of them are rarely supported by experimental investigation. Among various multi-layer structures, this dissertation provided a thorough investigation on the lamination-based thick-film multilayer substrates, or the multichip module (MCM) substrates. As an increasing number of layers were laminated, the thermo-mechanical behavior was measured layer-by-layer using a laser profilometry during thermal cycling. One of the key thermo-mechanical issues during the MCM-D substrate fabrication is substrate bowing, and another important con-cern is the thermal stress caused by the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). The thermal stress causes mechanical failure of films, such as adhesion reduction, contact peel-off, and variations in electrical properties, and the substrate bowing makes the fabrication process difficult, for example, vacuum mounting for handling and substrate sawing after fabrication. It also causes a stress concentration problem in internal structures such as via, and flip chip bump failure due to repeated thermal loading. Consequently, precise descriptions of the thermo-mechanical behavior of the thick-film multilayer substrates were necessarily required to realize high-density, high-yield, high-reliability, and low-cost MCM-D substrates. In Chapter 1, while the majority of reports in the literature have focused on single-layer analysis using the well-known Stoney````s formula, this chapter examined the extended usage of Stoney````s formula for the multilayer analysis. A simple model, the multilayer-modified Stoney````s formula, which predicts a stress contribution from each individual layer was proposed and verified through the numerical analysis and experiments using...한국과학기술원 : 재료공학과

    학위논문(박사) - 한국과학기술원 : 물리학과, 1985.8, [ iii, 63 p. ]The domain wall problem in grand unified theories due to the unbroken U(1)PQU(1)_{PQ} symmetries are in contradiction with the modern cosmology based on the big bang theory. We construct a SU(9) grand unified model without the domain walls and study the symmetry breaking patterns, the intermediate mass scale and the fermion contents of the model. First, we give some constraints which the fermion representations of the SU(N) groups should satisfy. Then we find that there are two kinds of fermion representations according to the assignment of the hypercharges. One is the representation which allows the trivial charge assignment and the other is the one which allow the nontrivial charge assignment. Next, we search for the possible grand unified model without the domain walls. For the representations with the trivial charge assignment, we find only one model in SU(9) which contains the three generations and for the representations with the nontrivial charge assignment, we find a unique model in SU(9). Hence the study of the details of the SU(9) becomes important. Then we give the possible symmetry breaking patterns and the corresponding projection matrices which can be used to find the fermion contents of the low energy symmetry. Also we discuss the grand unification mass scale for some typical symmetry breaking patterns. Finally, we give a formula to determine the intermediate mass scale of the SU(N) group. Using the limit on the proton life time and the cosmological requirements on the intermediate mass scale, we determine the symmetry breaking patterns and the value of the nontrivial charge assignment by applying the formula stated above.한국과학기술원 : 물리학과

    학위논문(박사) - 한국과학기술원 : 화학과, 2010.2, [ xii, 93 p. ]\Bf{ Silicon-Treated Block Copolymers for SiO_2 Nanostructures} Surfaces patterned with regularly sized and spaced features at the nanoscopic level have attracted much interest over the last decade. The inherent variety of block copolymers makes their self-assembly an attractive means of creating such surfaces and they have been used as effective and versatile templates for many inorganic materials. Silicon oxide (SiO2SiO_2) in particular has demonstrated tremendous promise in applications ranging from microelectronics to photonic devices. First, highly dense SiO2SiO_2 nanodot arrays were fabricated via a selective chemical reaction with a functionalized block copolymer template. Polystyrene-\It{b}-poly(acrylic acid/acrylic anhydride) (PS-\It{b}-PAA/AN) thin films on an SU-8 photoresist, generated from polystyrene-\It{b}-poly(\It{tert}-butylacrylate) (PS-\It{b}-PtBA) by acid-catalyzed thermal deprotection, were used as templates. Due to the presence of PAA/AN nanodomains with carboxylic acids cross-linked by anhydride linkages, these templates acted as robust and versatile scaffolds with excellent solvent and thermal resistance. Hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) was spin-sprayed uniformly over the entire surface of the self-assembled PS-\It{b}-PAA/AN film and reacted selectively with carboxylic acids in the spherical domains of PAA/AN. RIE in an O2/ArO_2/Ar atmosphere removed all organic components, resulting in arrays of free-standing silica nanostructures over a wide area of the substrate. Secondly, the self-assembly of an amine-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) via the noncovelent interactions onto the functionalized block copolymer template was used to silicon oxide nanodot arrays. This method could make a possible not only to increase contents of silicon but also to simplify a whole process. PS-$\It{b}-PAA/AN thin films on an SU-8 photoresist were dipped on the amine-terminated PDMS solution and PDMS was self-assembled selectively onto the spheric...한국과학기술원 : 화학과

We here report clinical features, histopathological findings, and surgical outcome of four cases of corneal keloid. Case presentation Four Korean male patients without a history of corneal trauma or disease were clinically and histologically evaluated for a slowly-growing, white opacity in the cornea. On slit lamp examination, corneal lesions appeared as a solitary, pearly white, well-circumscribed nodule with a smooth and glistening surface. Because the lesions involved the visual axis deteriorating the visual acuity, the nodules were surgically removed by superficial keratectomy in all patients. Amniotic membrane transplantation was combined in three patients, and an intraoperative mitomycin C application in two patients. Hematoxylin-eosin staining of the excised nodules revealed epithelial hyperplasia, Bowmans layer disruption, thick and irregularly-arranged collagen fibers in the stroma, and accumulation of prominent fibroblasts, which are consistent with the diagnosis of corneal keloid. The corneal keloids recurred in all patients within 10months of surgical excision and outgrew the boundary of the excised area. Conclusion A diagnosis of corneal keloid should be suspected in patients presenting with an enlarging, white, glistening corneal nodule, even in the absence of a history of corneal trauma or disease. The recurrence is common after surgical excision, and the lesion can be exacerbated by surgery
