The morphology and photoluminescence characteristics of green light emitting hexaaluminate phosphor particles prepared by high temperature spray pyrolysis from spray solution with and without ammonium dihydrogen phosphate flux were investigated. The particles prepared from spray solution without flux material had hollow morphology at preparation temperatures between $900^{\circ}C$ and $1,650^{\circ}C$. Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate flux added into spray solution enabled the formation of particles with spherical shape and filled morphology at preparation temperatures between $900^{\circ}C$ and $1,650^{\circ}C$. The hexaaluminate phosphor particles with magnetoplumbite structure were directly prepared by spray pyrolysis from spray solution with ammonium dihydrogen phosphate flux above $1,600^{\circ}C$. Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate flux was effective in improving the photoluminescence intensity of the phosphor particles at low preparation temperatures. The phosphor particles prepared from spray solution with and without flux material by spray pyrolysis under reducing atmosphere at $1,650^{\circ}C$ had comparable photoluminescence intensities with that of the phosphor particles optimized by post-treatment.

최근에 최적의 모체 결정과 활성제 이온을 선택하여 우수한 발광과 흡광 특성을 갖는 산화물 형광체를 합성하여 디스플레이, 고체 레이저, 백색 발광 소자를 제작하는데 관심이 고조되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 열 및 화학적으로 안정한 $Gd_2MoO_6$를 모체 결정으로 선택하고 $Eu^{3+}$, $Sm^{3+}$ 이온을 활성제 이온으로 각각 도핑하여 다양한 종류의 색을 구현하는 새로운 종류의 형광체를 제조하고자 한다. 비교적 간단한 장비로 구성되고 볼밀 작업을 통하여 쉽게 초기 물질을 혼합 분쇄하고 소결할 수 있는 고상반응법을 사용하여 합성하였다. 특히, 모체 결정에 주입되는 활성제 이온을 둘러싸고 있는 국소적인 환경이 반전 대칭에서 벗어나는 정도를 파악하여 활성제 이온의 발광 파장의 세기가 최대가 되는 최적의 조건을 규명하고자 한다. $Eu^{3+}$ 이온이 도핑된 $Gd_2MoO_6$ 형광체의 발광 스펙트럼은 $Eu^{3+}$ 이온의 함량에 관계없이 모든 시료에서 전형적인 $Eu^{3+}$ 이온의 $^5D_0-^7F_j$ (j=1-4) 전이에 의한 발광 스펙트럼을 나타내었고, 가장 강한 적색 발광 파장은 611 nm에서 관측되었다. $Sm^{3+}$ 이온이 도핑된 $Gd_2MoO_6$ 형광체의 경우에, $Sm^{3+}$ 이온의 함량에 관계없이 모든 시료에서 $Sm^{3+}$ 이온의 $^4G_{5/2}-^6H_j$ (j=5/2, 7/2, 9/2) 전이에 의한 발광 스펙트럼을 나타내었고, 가장 강한 발광 파장은 616 nm에서 관측되었다. 이외에도, 결정 입자와 발광 세기의 상관 관계를 조사하였다.

In this study sol-gel and combustion process was surveyed for the preparation of the red $Y_2O_3$: Eu phosphor, and the properties of phosphor was considered. Chelation and hydrolysis in amorphous citrate sol-gel process were completed in initial reaction stage, and water-forming condensation was superior to organic acid-forming condensation. The mole ratio of citric acid to metal ion had to be above to for the progress of sol-gel process. The dried gel powders are mostly amorphous, and crystallize completely at $700^{\circ}C$, and the crystallinity increases with increasing calcining temperature. The luminescence property of the phosphor was analyzed by measuring the emission spectra. The luminescence intensity increases when the calcination temperature and concentration of metal ions in solution increase.

LEDs are considered to be an alternative for enhancement of energy efficiency, applied for numerous areas such as display, automotive headlight not only lights. Yellow phosphor is generally utilized with blue LEDs to generate WLED, $Y_3Al_{5}O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$ is typically used as the yellow phosphor. The phosphor, mixed with epoxy resin, has been used by being spread and hardened on the blue LED chip. This paste-based packaging gives rise to problems of degradation of phosphor by heat and decrease of luminous efficiency. Although phosphor plate is used instead of the epoxy-phosphor mixture to solve these problems, loss of luminous efficacy by total internal reflection inside the plate also should be solved. In this study, we coated the side of the plate with silver as one of the solution.

Fluorescent images using near-infrared light have no worry about radioactivity, and images can be checked in real time during surgery. Therefore experiments using fluorescent images for monitoring lymph node biopsy are actively under way. Fluorescent imaging equipment uses high heat-generating components such as LED and camera, thus uses water-cooling system as a stable heating suppression means. However in the fluorescent image equipment, the water cooling system takes a large volume which is a disadvantage in terms of miniaturization of the equipment. Even if the air cooling system is used for miniaturizing the equipment, heat generation is a problem. In this paper, we have experimented with the air cooling method using PWM control for the miniaturization of the equipment, and confirmed the constant quality of the fluorescent image and the suppression of the heat generation without any problems even when the equipment is used for a long time.

전 세계적으로 중요한 담수 자원인 지하수의 미세플라스틱 오염에 대한 우려가 커지고 있다. 지하수 환경에서 미세플라스틱의 오염을 예측하고 평가하기 위해 대수층 내 현장 실태조사가 수행 중에 있으며, 실험실 규모의 컬럼 실험을 통해 지하수에서 미세플라스틱 이동 메커니즘을 조사하는 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 이러한 연구들은 많은 개수의 분석 시료를 동반하며, 환경 중 미세플라스틱 정량분석을 위해서 고가의 분석기기(라만분광기, 푸리에 변환 적외선(FTIR) 분광기, 열분해 가스크로마토그래피 질량분석기)를 사용하여 플라스틱의 종류를 판별하고 개수를 측정하고 있다. 또한, 컬럼 실험을 수행한 대부분의 선행 연구에서는 미세플라스틱 정량분석을 위해 탁도 분석, 분광광도계를 이용한 흡광도 분석, 현미경을 이용한 계수 방법 등을 이용하여 고가의 분석기기를 사용하지 않고 연구를 수행하였다. 하지만, 이러한 방법들은 유체 속 다른 물질이 포함되어있을 경우에 민감하고 농도를 비율 혹은 개수로 표현하기 때문에 질량 측면에서 미세플라스틱의 농도를 과소·과대 평가할 수 있다. 특히, 현미경을 이용한 계수 방법의 경우에는 분석에 많은 시간이 소요된다는 단점이 있다. 위에 언급한 다양한 분석법들의 단점들을 보완하기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 대수층 내 미세플라스틱 이동 특성을 규명하기 위한 실내 실험에 사용될 수 있는 형광이미지 기반의 미세플라스틱 정량분석법을 개발하였다. Nile Red 형광염료를 이용하여 미세플라스틱을 염색하고 사진을 촬영하여 미세플라스틱 시료의 질량과 미세플라스틱 형광이미지의 형광강도 간 상관관계를 분석하였다. 또한, Nile Red로 염색된 미세플라스틱 입자의 수중 노출 테스트를 진행하여, 실내 대수층 모의실험 시 미세플라스틱 질량을 정량화할 수 있는 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 상관 분석 결과, 미세플라스틱 질량과 이미지의 형광강도는 높은 상관관계를 보였으며, 수중 노출 실험 전과 후의 미세플라스틱 입자의 형광강도 차이는 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 통해 본 연구에서 개발된 미세플라스틱 정량분석 방법이 포화 다공성 매체로 구성된 컬럼실험 시 유출수의 미세플라스틱 질량 추정에 유용하게 사용될 것으로 생각되며, 대수층 내 미세플라스틱의 이동 특성 규명 연구에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Fine-sized $Gd_2O_3:Eu$ phosphor powders were prepared by post-treatment of the precursor powders with hollow shape obtained by spray pyrolysis from the spray solution with citric acid and flux material. Citric acid enabled the synthesis of fine-sized phosphor powders after post-treatment by increasing the hollowness of the precursor powders. The phosphor powders prepared from the spray solution without citric acid had several microns size. Flux materials increased the mean sizes of the phosphor powders. However, flux materials improved the photoluminescence intensities of the phosphor powders under ultraviolet. $Li_2CO_3$ as the flux material was appropriate to prepare the fine-sized $Gd_2O_3:Eu$ phosphor powders with high photoluminescence intensity. The phosphor powders below 3 wt% $Li_2CO_3$ of phosphor had submicron sizes after post-treatment temperatures of $1,050^{\circ}C$ and $1,150^{\circ}C$. The photoluminescence intensity of the phosphor powders post-treated at $1,150^{\circ}C$ was 124% of that of the phosphor powders post-treated at $1,050^{\circ}C$.

Eu²⁺ doped polyphosphate NaSr(PO₃)₃ blue-emitting phosphors were synthesized by the conventional solid state method in a reductive atmosphere. The phase formation of NaSr(PO₃)₃ phosphors were characterized by using the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) measurement. The photoluminescence emission and excitation spectra of the NaSr(PO₃)₃:Eu²⁺ phosphor, and decay curves were measured. Under the near-UV excitation, the phosphor exhibits a band emission around 420 nm assigned to the 4f⁶5d→f7(8S^7/2) transition of Eu²⁺. The temperature dependent emission spectra and decay curves were measured to elevate the thermal properties of the Eu²⁺ doped phosphors. The as-prepared NaSr(PO₃)₃:Eu²⁺ phosphors show a strong temperature dependent performance, which can serve as a promising temperature sensor.

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a family of highly conserved proteins playing an important role in the functioning of unstressed and stressed cells. The HSP70 family, the most widely studied of the hsps, is constitutively expressed (hsc70) in unstressed cells and is also induced in response to stressors (hsp70), especially those affecting the protein machinery. The HSP/HSC70 proteins act as molecular chaperones and are crucial for protein functioning, including folding, intracellular localization, regulation, secretion, and protein degradation. Here, we report the identification and characterization of the putative amino acid sequence deduced from one cDNA clone identified as heat shock protein 70. The alignment showed that the putative sequence is 100% identical to the heat shock protein 70 cognate (HSC 70) of olive flounder. The 5'-flanking region sequence (approximately 1 kb) ahead of the hsc70 gene was cloned by genome walking and a putative core promoter region and transcription elements were identified. We characterized the promoter of the olive flounder hsc70 gene by examining the ability of 5'-upstream fragments to drive expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in live embryos.
