Three different ZnO nanomaterials (nanobelts, nanorods, and nanowires) were synthesized at three different substrate temperatures from the thermal evaporation of ball-milled ZnO powders at $1380^{\circ}C$. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the ZnO nanobelts are single crystalline with the growth direction perpendicular to the (010) lattice planes, and that the ZnO nanorods and nanowires are single crystalline with the growth directions perpendicular to the (001) and (110) lattice planes, respectively. In photoluminescence (PL), the peak energy of near band-edge (NBE) emission was determined for nanobelts, nanorods, and nanowires.

CdTe quantum dots(QDs) were synthesized in aqueous solution by colloidal method. Photoluminescence(PL) spectra of the synthesized CdTe QDs revealed the intensity of PL peaks was stronger as the condensation time was longer. This result was thought because annealing effect by thermal energy transferred during condensation eliminated defects which act as traps and recombination centers in CdTe particle. PL intensity has stron dependence of Te precursor concentration. It confirmed the ratio of Te ion to Cd ion added during synthesis affected the particle size and size distribution of the CdTe QDs. Finally, the synthesized CdTe QDs were identified to be cubic structured CdTe quantum dots by X-ray diffraction(XRD).

In this study we attempted to diagnose the distribution of nitrogen plasma density generated using PECVD(plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition). The distribution of plasma density formed in a PECVD chamber were measured by DLP2000. The experiment results showed that the plasma density is related to RF power and gas flow rate. As RF power gets higher, the plasma density linearly increased. And the experimental results revealed that a pressure in chamber affects plasma density.

We described the growth of undoped ZnO thin films and their optical properties changing with a various growth temperature. The undoped ZnO thin films were grown on $c-Al_2O_3$ substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at room temperature, 200, 400, and $600^{\circ}C$, respectively. Field emission microscopy (FE-SEM) measurements showed that the grain size of undoped ZnO thin films are increasing as a increase of growth temperature. In addition, we were investigated that the structural and optical properties of undoped ZnO thin films by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) studied. Also, we could confirmed that the exciton luminescence was strongly related to charge trap by grain boundary of the samples using micro-PL measurement.

We design and demonstrate the controled doping into ZnO nanowires (NWs) adopting self-contrived hot-walled pulsed laser deposition (HW-PLD). Optimized synthesis conditions with the diversified dopants guarantee the excellent crystalinity and morphology as well as electrical properties of the NWs. Proprietary target rotating system in the HW-PLD fuels the controlled formation and doping of the NWs. Prepared NWs sensitive to the environment are systematically characterized, and the doping mechanism is discussed.

CdTe quantum dots(QDs) were synthesized in aqueous solution by colloidal method. The synthesized CdTe QDs were identified to be cubic-structured ones by x-ray diffraction(XRD). The photoluminescence(PL) was performed for CdTe QDs prepared as a function of Te precursor concentration, condensation time and aging time. The PL intensity is strongly dependent on Te precursor concentration, indicating that the ratio of Te to Cd ions affects the particle size and size distribution of the CdTe QDs. Our PL study reveals that the intensity of PL peaks strengthens as the condensation time elongates, implying that annealing by thermal energy transferred during condensation would eliminate defects which act as killing centers in CdTe particles. Our photocurrent study suggests that the CdTe QDs materials are one of the prospective materials for optoelectronics including photodetectors.

We fabricated photo-sensor for fluorescence detection in LOC. LOC is high throughput screening system. Our LOC screens biochemical reaction of protein using the immunoassay, and converts biochemical reaction into electrical signal using LIF(Laser Induced Fluorescence) detection method. Protein is labeled with rhodamine intercalating dye and finger PIN photodiode is used as photo-sensor We measured fluorescence emission of rhodamine dye and analyzed tendency of fluorescence detection, according to photo-sensor size, light intensity, and rhodamine concentration. Detection current was almost linearly proportional to two parameters, intensity and concentration, and was inversely proportional to photo-sensor size. Integrated LOC consists of optical-filter deposited photo-sensor and PDMS microchannel detected 50 (pg/${mu}ell$) rhodamine. For integrated LOC including light source, we used green LED as the light source and measured emitted fluorescence.

In this study, we propose a novel fabrication of an oxide-based lateral thermoelectric pn couple and investigate the characteristics of the thermoelectric couple. Electrospun ZnO and $LaSrCoO_3$ nanofibers are used as n- and p-legs of the couple, respectively. The Seebeck coefficients of the n- and p-type nanofibers and the pn couple are $-98.1{\mu}V/K$, $42.4{\mu}V/K$, and $118.8{\mu}V/K$, respectively. The thermoelectric couple generates an output voltage of $484.7{\mu}V$ at a temperature difference of 4.1 K.

In this paper, nonvolatile nano-floating gate memory devices are fabricated with ZnO nanowires and Al nanoparticles on a $SiO_2/Si$ substrate. Al nanoparticles used as floating gate nodes are formed by the sputtering method. The fabricated device exhibits a threshold voltage shift of -1.5 V. In addition, we investigate the endurance and retention characteristics of the nano-floating gate memory device.

Aging aircraft structures are inevitably exposed to environment for a long time facing many potential problems, including corrosion and wide spread fatigue damage, which in turn cause the degradation of flight safety. In this study, the environmental surface damages on aging aircraft structures induced during service were quantitatively analyzed. Additionally, S-N fatigue tests were performed with center hole specimens extracted from aging aircraft structures. From the results of quantitative analyses of the surface damages and fatigue tests, it is concluded that corrosion pits initiated during service reduce the fatigue life significantly. Finally, using the fracture mechanics and the EIFS (equivalent initial flaw size) concepts, the remaining fatigue life was predicted based on actual fatigue test results.
