A new aerosol chemical transport model, Regional Air Quality Model 2 (RAQM2), was developed to simulate Asian air quality. We implemented a simple version of a modal-moment aerosol dynamics model and achieved completely dynamic solution of a gas-to-particle mass transfer over a wide range of aerosol diameters from 1 nm to super micro m. To consider a variety of atmospheric aerosol properties, a category approach is utilized: aerosols are distributed into 4 categories, Aitken, accumulation, soot aggregates, and coarse mode. A regional-scale simulation was performed for the entire year of 2006, covering Northeast Asian region. Statistical analysis showed the model reproduced the regional-scale transport and transformation of the major inorganic anthropogenic and natural air constituents within factors of 2 to 5. Modeled size distributions of total weight and chemical components were consistent with the observations, indicating simulations of aerosol mixing types were successful.

The Sol-Gel derived precursor fiber was annealed under hydrogen disulfeid (HS) following oxygen atmosphere, Sulfer-doped titanium dioxide (TiO) fiber was obtained. Crystal structure of the fiber was identified as anatase phase of TiO. The energy band gap of the fiber was narrower by about 0.06 eV than that of anatase, which showed that it could absorb visible light. The fiber contains about 0.58 atomic % of Sulfer, and they located at the oxygen lattice site of TiO. Under visible light illumination, the fiber degraded Trichroloethylen (TCE) and produced carbon dioxide (CO). This shows Sulfer-doped TiO fiber has the photocatalytic activity under visible light illumination.

Cu precipitates were formed on Si(100) by 200 keV Cu ion implantation and subsequent annealing at 773 K. The shape of the Cu precipitates evolved from a large rectangle to a small elongated pyramid with increasing annealing time. This shape evolution seemed to result from the epitaxial formation of Cu precipitates to minimize the interfacial energy between the precipitate and the Cu implanted substrate. The average density of Cu precipitates monotonously increased and the average diameter of Cu precipitates decreased with increasing annealing time up to 1 h. These indicate that the morphology, size and average density of Cu precipitates can be controlled by varying annealing time, and that Cu ion implantation and subsequent annealing were effective in producing a substrate dispersed with catalytic particles for oxide nanorods growth.

Silicon carbide (SiC) films as a hydrogen separation membrane were prepared using a novel preparation technique. The films were obtained by a coating of precursor films on porous alumina supports followed by an immersion into cycohexane, curing in an inert atmosphere and pyrolisis. A selectivity of the film, which is defined as the ratio of the amount of hydrogen (H) to nitrogen (N) which passed thorough the membrane, was increased up to 6.1 as increasing the immersion time. This is supposed that precursor in pores is dissolved by cyclohexane and pores are filled with the precursor solution, which leads to a decrease of the pore diameter and an improvement of the selectivity.

SiC membranes synthesized from precursor polymers have an excellent thermal and corrosion resistances and the structure is amorphous with nano-hole which has gas permeability. Therefore, the membranes are expected as a hydrogen separation filter that can be used in the severe environment. However, the improvement of the amount of the hydrogen penetration and the separation ratio is required. In this research, the possibility of controlling the gas penetration of the SiC membranes by EB crosslinking technique was examined.
