A facile, seed-mediated preparation method of trimetallic Au@Pb@Pt core-shell nanoparticles is developed. Au nanoparticles are the template seeds onto which sequentially reduced Pb and Pt are deposited. The trimetallic core-shell structure is confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, TEM and EDS analysis, and cyclic voltammetry. The trimetallic Au@Pb@Pt core-shell nanoparticles show high electrocatalytic activity for formic acid and methanol electrooxidation.

The Korean Prototype Gen-IV sodium-cooled fast reactor (PGSFR) is supposed to be loaded with a relatively-costly low-enriched U fuel, while its envisaged transuranic fuels are not available for transmutation. In this work, the U-enrichment reduction by improving the neutron economy is pursued to save the fuel cost. To improve the neutron economy of the core, a new reflector material, PbO, has been introduced to replace the conventional HT9 reflector in the current PGSFR core. Two types of PbO reflectors are considered: one is the conventional pin-type and the other one is an inverted configuration. The inverted PbO reflector design is intended to maximize the PbO volume fraction in the reflector assembly. In addition, the core radial configuration is also modified to maximize the performance of the PbO reflector. For the baseline PGSFR core with several reflector options, the U enrichment requirement has been analyzed and the fuel depletion analysis is performed to derive the equilibrium cycle parameters. The linear reactivity model is used to determine the equilibrium cycle performances of the core. Impacts of the new PbO reflectors are characterized in terms of the cycle length, neutron leakage, radial power distribution, and operational fuel cost.

This study is intended to evaluate the dependency of TRU recycling characteristics on the neutron spectrum shift in a Pb-Bi cooled core. Considering two Pb-Bi cooled cores with the soft and the hard spectrum, respectively, various characteristics of the recycled core are carefully examined and compared with each other. Assuming very simplified fuel cycle management with the homogeneous and single region fuel loading, the burnup calculations are performed until the recycled core reached to the (quasi-) equilibrium state. The mechanism of TRU recycling toward the equilibrium is analyzed in terms of burnup reactivity and the isotopic compositions of TRU fuel. In the comparative analyses, the difference in the recycling behavior between the two cores is clarified. In addition, the basic safety characteristics of the recycled core are also discussed in terms of the Doppler coefficient, the coolant loss reactivity coefficient, and the effective delayed neutron fraction.

폐목질원료로서, 제재, 합판, PB, MDF와 폐침목 등의 해머밀에 의한 파쇄특성과 재생파티클 종류와 혼합비율에 따른 재생보드의 물성을 구명함으로써, 보드원료로서 재자원화 하는 방안을 모색해 보고자 하였다. 그 결과, 재생보드의 휨성질은 목질원료의 입자형태 및 입도분포에 크게 영향을 받으며, 파티클, 섬유와 같은 element가 압축고화된 상태의 판넬(PB, MDF)로부터 재생한 파티클은 물성저하를 초래하였다. 그러나, 재생파티클에 이미 도포 경화된 수지에 의해 재생보드의 치수안정성이 향상되는 효과가 있다. 따라서, 보드원료로서의 적합한 요건은 건전폐목재(제재, 합판)와 저급폐목재(PB, MDF)의 적정한 혼용에 있다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 건전폐목재 재생파티클과 재생 PB파티클의 혼용시험에서 제재파티클이 휨성질(MOR, MOE)과 박리강도에 기여하고, 합판파티클은 치수안정성에 더욱 기여하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한 보드의 중층용 원료로 재생PB파티클의 혼합비율을 증가함에 따라서 보드의 휨성능이 감소되는 경향을 나타냈지만 혼합률 40%까지는 유의차가 없이 보드 15형(MOR : $153kgf/cm^2$, MOE : $27.5tonf/cm^2$) 수준의 성능이 구비되었다. 향후 생활폐목재(폐가구 등)와 같은 저급폐목재의 활용방안이 강구된다면 보드원료의 수급에 한층 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

Electrodeposition of lead peroxide on the graphite core was studied. The results are following; 1) At more noble potential than 1.6V vs. S.C.E. and lower temperature than $40^{\circ}C$, $PbO_2$ deposited current efficiency is increased but deposited layer falls off easily from graphite core. 2) Oxygen overvoltage of $PbO_2$ deposited layer on the graphite core is largely with increasing $PbO_2$ depositing anodic potential and with lowlying electrolytic temperature. 3) To obtain the $PbO_2$ deposited layer without falling off from the graphite core, it is necessary to change the electrolytic conditions, anodic potential and electrolytic temperature, in four stages successively.

An atomization doping process is proposed to manufacture nonlinear optical fiber containing higher concentration of PbTe nano-particles in the core of the fiber than that by the conventional solution doping process. The absorption peaks appeared near 725nm, 880nm, and 1050nm are attributed to the PbTe quantum dots in the fiber core.

Lead telluride (PbTe) is a very promising thermoelectric material due to its narrow band gap (0.31 eV at 300 K), face-centered cubic structure and large average excitonic Bohr radius (46 nm) allowing for strong quantum confinement within a large range of size. In this work, we present the thermoelectric properties of individual single-crystalline PbTe nanowires grown by a vapor transport method. A combination of electron beam lithography and a lift-off process was utilized to fabricate inner micron-scaled Cr (5 nm)/Au (130 nm) electrodes of Rn (resistance of a near electrode), Rf (resistance of a far electrode) and a microheater connecting a PbTe nanowire on the grid of points. A plasma etching system was used to remove an oxide layer from the outer surface of the nanowires before the deposition of inner electrodes. The carrier concentration of the nanowire was estimated to be as high as $3.5{\times}10^{19}\;cm^{-3}$. The Seebeck coefficient of an individual PbTe nanowire with a radius of 68 nm was measured to be $S=-72{\mu}V/K$ at room temperature, which is about three times that of bulk PbTe at the same carrier concentration. Our results suggest that PbTe nanowires can be used for high-efficiency thermoelectric devices.

During Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductor wire fabrication the effect of the initial packing density on the final characteristics of superconductor wire was systematically studied. To increase the powder packing density with uniform distribution of superconducting core a billet insertion method processed by CIP was applied instead of the commonly used vibration and ramming method of powder insertion into silver sheath. Compared with the vibration and ramming method the billent insertion technique processed by CIP cause the 30% incre-specimen with 130${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$(core thickness : 45 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)and 5.24 mm width processed at 84$0^{\circ}C$for 200hrs. shows specimen with 130${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ (core thickness ; 45${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)and 5.24 mm width processed at 84$0^{\circ}C$ for 200 hrs. shows maximum 34A for Ic and 16, 700 A/cm2 for Ic measured at 77K and 0T. Also the sample rolled 3 times shows maximum 7, 2A for Ic and 11, 000 A/cm2 for 77K and 0T. Based on X-ray experimental results the formation of Bi-2223 and texture were significantly well developed at the interface between the superconducting core and silver sheath as compared with those of the interior area of superconducting core.

Retention ponds have been dug along some of the motorways in France to minimize environmental pollution by keeping pollutants from spreading over the surrounding area. In order to study heavy metal pollution and diagenetic behaviour of sediments, eight core samples were collected from the bottom of a retention pond located along the A-71 motorway in Sologne. The metal concentrations in interstitial waters and extractable metal concentrations in sediment layers using sequential chemical extraction method were determined. The depth distributions of Pb, Zn and Cd concentrations in interstitial water and particulate sediments were studied, and distribution coefficients (KD) were also determined to investigate the environmental mobility of these elements. In addition. the index of geoaccumulation and the Fe-normalized enrichment factor were calculated to differentiate the natural accumulation from the anthropogenic pollution. The vertical concentration profiles of heavy metals in core sediments indicate that surface enrichments (0~2 cm) of Pb, Zn, Cd and organic carbon were always observed at each core sample, due to the early diagenesis. However, the major factor contributing to the accumulation of Cd at the sediment surface is attributed to the dissolution of Cd from polluted roadside soil during periods of rainstorms and its subsequent redeposition on the sediment surface after being carried to the retention pond. A comparison of the KD values indiactes that a decrease in the KD values for Pb and Zn was observed with depth while KD values for Cd increase. According to the KD values. the relative mobility of studied metals was determined as following: Mn>Zn>Cd>Pb, for the upper layer, and Mn>Cd>Zn>Pb, for the lower layers.

이 연구에서는 목재의 효율적인 이용의 일환으로 스프루스 직교형적층재의 중층을 중밀도섬유판(medium density fiberboard, MDF), 파티클보드(particle board, PB) 및 오에스비(oriented strand board, OSB)의 3종류의 시판용 목질보드를 복합적층한 3층 목질계 복합적층재(패널)를 제작하여, 중층 목질보드라미나의 구성엘리멘트가 복합적층재의 휨 크리프성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 복합적층재의 휨 크리프곡선은 우측상변이 급증하는 지수함수 그래프를 나타내었고, 각 복합적층재의 중층 목질보드라미나의 종류에 따라 다른 경향을 나타내었다. 복합적층재의 크리프변형은 표층섬유직각방향($C_{\perp}$ 타입)에서는 중층에 PB, MDF, OSB를 배열한 $C_{\perp}$(P)타입 > $C_{\perp}$(M)타입 > $C_{\perp}$(O)타입의 순으로, OSB를 중층에 배열한 타입의 크리프변형이 MDF나 PB를 중층에 배열한 것의 2배 이상 적은 것이 확인되었고, 복합적층에 의해 스프루스 섬유직각방향의 크리프변형의 현저한 감소가 나타났다. 한편, 표층섬유방향($C_{\parallel}$ 타입)의 크리프변형은 중층에 PB, OSB, MDF를 삽입한 $C_{\parallel}$(P)타입 > $C_{\parallel}$(O)타입 > $C_{\parallel}$(M)의 순이었으나, 복합적층에 의해 적층재상호간의 비는 현저히 감소하였고, 중층에 PB와 OSB를 배열한 복합적층재의 크리프변형의 차이는 매우 적은 것이 확인 되었다. 이 값은 목질보드의 크리프변형보다는 0.108~0.464배의 적은 크리프변형을 나타내어 복합적층에 의해 목질보드의 크리프변형의 현저한감소가 나타났다. 복합적층재의 표층섬유방향에 대한 표층섬유직각방향의 크리프이방성은 초기변형보다 크리프변형이 현저히 컸지만, 스프루스 평행형적층재의 크리프이방성보다는 현저히 감소하는 것이 확인되었다.
