One-phase method to prevent the initial formation of Ag(I) thiolate layered materal from the mixture of $AgNO_3$ and thiols was previously developed to generate TP (Thiolate-Protected)-nanosilver. In this modified method, $AgNO_3$ is added to the mixtures of $NaBH_4$ and thiols in ethanol. This method was so successful that it was applied to synthesize TP-nanogold and nanoplatinum. The synthesis and characterization of these nanoparticles by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) pictures, X-ray powder differaction (XRD) patterns and infrared(IR) spectra are described. The results show that colloidal nanoparticles are spherical or oval shape and the mean sizes for TP-nanogold and nanoplatinum are about 3~7 nm and below 2 nm, respectively. The conformation of polymethylene [$-(CH_2)_7-$] sequence in octanethiolate attached to nanogold was elucidated as trans.

We have successfully fabricated high aspect-ratio GaN-based nanowires on Si substrates using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system for high-efficiency hydrogen generation of photoelectrochemical water splitting. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) demonstrated that p-GaN:Mg and p-InGaN nanowires were grown vertically on the substrate with high density. Furthermore, it was also confirmed that the emission wavelength of p-InGaN nanowire can be adjusted from 552 nm to 590 nm. Such high-aspect ratio p-InGaN nanowire structure will be a solid foundation for the realization of ultrahigh-efficiency photoelectrochemical water splitting through sunlight.

Hot filament 플라즈마 화학기상 증착법 (HFPECVD)를 사용하여 전처리 조건에 따른 탄소나노튜브의 성장 특성을 관찰하였다. 암모니아 ($NH_3$)를 희석가스로 사용하였고, 아세틸렌 ($C_2H_2$)를 탄소 원료가스로 각각 사용하였다. 암모니아 가스 플라즈마를 사용하여 전처리 된 니켈 촉매 층의 SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) 이미지를 관찰하여 본 결과, 나노 사이즈의 촉매 그레인(grain)을 발견할 수 있었다. 그리고 탄소 나노튜브의 직경과 성장 밀도 또한 전처리 된 촉매 층에 따라 다른 양상을 보였다. TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy)를 사용하여 탄소나노튜브를 관찰한 결과 공동구조(hollow)를 한 다중벽 탄소 나노튜브(MWCNT)를 관찰할 수 있었다. 성장된 나노튜브는 끝에 금속팁을 가지고 있으며, 나노튜브의 팁은 촉매로 사용한 것과 같은 물질로 구성되어 있었다. Raman spectroscopy를 사용하여 측정된 B-밴드와 G-밴드의 피크들은 각각 $1360cm^{-1}$와 $1598cm^{-1}$ 부근에서 나타났으며, 전처리 조건을 달리하여 성장시킨 탄소나노튜브 필름에서 이들 두 피크의 위치는 이동하지 않았고, 두 피크의 강도 비율 ($I_G/I_D$)은 전처리 조건에 따라 변하였다.

To improve the performance of ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) actuators, Nafion films sandwiched with Nafion/conducting nanoparticulate electrospun webs were used as polymer electrolytes of IPMC. Multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) and silver were the conducting nanoparticulates and the nanoparticles dispersed in a Nafion solution were electrospun. IPMCs with the Nafion/conducting nanoparticulate electrospun webs displayed improved displacements, response rates, and blocking forces. MWNT was superior to silver in terms of displacement and blocking force, and the webs without the conducting fillers also caused enhanced performances compared with the conventional IPMCs. These improvements were attributed to an elevated electrolyte flux through highly porous interlayers and capacitance induced by well dispersed conducting fillers, and low interfacial resistance between electrolyte and electrodes.

The self assembled silver process and silver coating process after surface reforming for silica particle, were investigated to coat the silver to colloidal silica. The effects of silver amounts and reductant amounts on silver coating efficiencies were investigated. The silver coating process after surface reforming for silica particle using MPTS (3-Mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane) and APTS (3-Aminopropyl trimethoxysilane), showed the higher coating efficiency and better antibacterial effect than the self assembled silver process.

In this paper, prcess modeling of germanium condensation has been performed and a germanium PMOSFET having nanowire channel implented by the condensation process has been designed and characterized by device simulations. Based on the previous experimental results, our modeling results demonstrate that the ratio of germanium concentration at the silicon germanium-silicon dioxide interface ($C_S$) to that in the bulk region ($C_B$) which are obtainable during the germanium condensation is approximately 4.03 and the effective diffusion coefficient ($D_{eff}$) of germanium atom is $3.16nm^2/s$. Furthermore, a germanium nanowire-channel PMOSFET having the ultra-thin germanium channel on the silicon core that can be fabricated by the germanium condensation has been designed and characterized. As the result, it is confirmed that the proposed device having the coaxial nanowire consisting of silicon core and germanium channel might have superior performances over the device with either all-silicon or all-germanium channel.

A coffee-ring effect is from capillary flow by different evaporation rate across the droplet. The capillary flow tends particles to accumulate at the edges of the droplet and makes the ring-shaped stain pattern. These coffee-ring formation and suppression of coffee-ring have been a critical role in printing and coating technologies. In this study, we present the experimental study on coffee-ring effect of silver nanowire inside the evaporating sessile droplet. Size and concentration effect of nanowires at coffee-ring effect has been investigated. From the coffee-ring, we observed the regimes of connected rings and disconnected ones and measure the resistivity of single ring pattern with different nanowire length.

Recent advances in electronic technology have engendered a need for research on the use of smart materials in clothing. Electro-conductive fibers are expected to be a crucial element of wearable devices. Therefore, in this study, we have attempted to develop electro-conductive threads and cables using silver nanowires. Based on the characteristics of silver nanowire, in which electro-conductivity can be imparted via heat treatment, we prepared conductive threads by coating nylon yarn with silver nanowires and curing at temperatures of 140℃, 150℃, and 160℃. Conductive threads cured at 140℃ had the highest conductivity, followed by threads cured at 160℃ and 150℃ respectively. The order of the electrical conductivity of the threads after tensile testing was consistent with the original order of the conductivity of the threads. When we evaluated the sensing performance of electro-conductive cables fabricated from these threads, the cables manufactured from threads cured at 140℃ and 160℃ were found to function normally within temperature and humidity sensors. All the cables operated normally in illuminance and electrocardiogram sensors. Thus, we believe that threads made of silver nanowire have sufficient electrical conductivity to be utilized as wearable sensors.
