The high temperature proton exchange (HTPE) method was used to fabricate optical waveguides based on LiNbO$_3$, which gives rise to low propagation loss and high polarization extinction ratio. To characterize the refractive index distribution of the fabricated waveguides, the guided modes of each waveguide were observed using the prism coupling method and then the refractive index profile was calculated by the inverse WKB method with the least square fitting. Finally, we showed how the HTPE parameters such as the temperature of PE, the concentration of lithium additive, and the time of PE effect the refractive index profile.

실리콘기반의 광전변환 소자는 소자공정의 편의성, 소자 신뢰성, 화학적 안정성, 그리고 저가경쟁력 등의 이점 때문에 수 십 년간 널리 연구되어 왔다. 그러나, 실리콘 재료의 경우 높은 굴절률로 인해 표면에서 높은 광 반사도를 가지고 있다. 일반적으로, 태양전지의 광전변환 효율은 빛이 서로 다른 유전율을 가진 계를 통과할 때 발생하는 계면반사로 인한 물리적인 한계를 가진다. Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)는 발광 다이오드, 태양전지, 그리고 광 검출기 등의 광소자에 적용하기 위해 수 년간 투명전도 산화막 재료로서 연구되어 왔다. ITO의 뛰어난 광학적, 전기적 특성은 높은 투과도와 낮은 전기 전도도를 요구하는 소자 응용에 대해 유망한 후보로 거듭나게 했다. 게다가, ITO의 굴절률은 대략 2정도이다. 그 결과, ITO는 반도체 기반 태양전지의 무반사 코팅 소재로서도 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 전자빔 증착법으로 경사입사 증착을 하여 실리콘 기반 태양전지에 증착될 ITO 박막의 굴절률을 조절한다. 여기서, 실리콘의 굴절률은 대략 3.5정도이다. 그러므로, 더 나은 광학적 특성을 가지기 위해 다층으로 올려진 ITO 박막이 점진적인 굴절률 변화를 가지는 것을 필요로 한다. 점진적 굴절률 변화를 가진 무반사 박막이 실리콘 태양전지의 특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 광전변환 효율을 측정하였다. 증착된 박막의 굴절률과 표면형상은 각각 타원편광분석과 Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)을 통해 분석되었다. 또한, 소자의 단면형상은 Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)으로 측정되었다.

Blood lead assay by $D_2$ lamp background correction method of atomic absorption spectrophotometer(AAS) with wavelength of 283.3 nm is most popular in occupational health practice in Korea. On the other hand, $D_2$ lamp background correction method with wavelength of 217.0 nm is also often used in general chemical analysis for lead assay in general purpose. But both methods have some weakness of background correction which brought direct effect on the results of analysis. Recently blood lead assay with polarized Zeeman effect of AAS was introduced and is now preferred in many laboratory than $D_2$ correction method in blood lead analysis. But still AAS with $D_2$ lamp are widely used in the field of occupational health in Korea. This study compared blood lead assay data with $D_2$ correction methods(283.3 and 217.0 nm) and with that of polarized Zeeman effect correction method to evaluate the validity of 02 correction methods. The results obtained were as follows; 1. Taking the value of polarized Zeeman effect method as reference value of 1.00, the mean relative value of $D_2$ correction method with wavelength of 217.0 nm was 0.92 and that with wavelength of 283.3 nm was 0.90 respectively in the analysis of blood lead whose value were below $20.0{\mu}g/dl$(p<0.001). Both mean values were statistically smaller than polarized Zeeman effect correction method. But in the analysis of blood whose value were between 20.0 to $20.0{\mu}g/dl$, the mean relative value of $D_2$ correction method was 0.96 in both wavelength and did not differ from polarized Zeeman effect method(p<0.001). There was no difference of blood lead between $D_2$ correction method and polarized Zeeman effect method in the analysis of blood lead whose value were over $40.0{\mu}g/dl$. 2. The variations of background correction value in polarized Zeeman effect method were not changed by increase of blood lead, but those in $D_2$ correction methods were increased by the increase of blood lead. While then relative standard deviation(RSD) of data measured by Zeeman effect method were decreased by the increase of blood lead, those by $D_2$ methods were nol differed by the increase of blood lead.

In this study, we prepared liquid crystal emulsions composed of $C_{12-20}$ alkyl glucoside, $C_{14-22}$ alcohol, and behenyl alcohol and performed structure analysis using various analytical equipment. First, as an important characteristic of liquid crystal emulsions, maltese cross patterns and multi-layer structure were observed by a polarized microscope and cryo-SEM. Also, formation of liquid crystal phase was confirmed by DSC and multi-layer lamellar structure having an interlayer spacing approximately $305{\AA}$ was confirmed by small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). The alkyl chain arrangement formed orthorhombic structure of a lamellar structure of the liquid crystal emulsion was confirmed by wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS). These results suggest that information on the various physical properties obtained through the research of liquid crystal emulsion structure is expected to be widely used in cosmetics development in the future.

Polymers with various compositions of azobenzene and hexamethylene groups in the main chain were synthesized by a Schotten-Baumann reaction and their properties were investigated. The chemical structures and physical properties of the synthesized polymers were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, polarized optical microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The polymers showed an inherent viscosity of 1.28-1.36 dl/g and were relatively insoluble in most organic solvents. The melt transition temperature increased rapidly with increasing number of azobenzene groups in the polymer. When the azobenzene monomer content was more than 50 mol%, no melting transition occurred below the decomposition temperature. Among the polymers with a melt transition temperature, the MP-A3C7 and MP-A5C5 polymers were liquid crystalline materials and exhibited a nematic phase with weak liquid crystallinity over a wide liquid crystal temperature range. This difference in the properties of the synthesized polymers is likely due to the changes in intermolecular forces resulting from the linearity and polarity of the trans-form of azobenzene.

적외선 영역에서의 밴드갭 에너지를 가지고 있는 III-V 족 화합물 반도체 물질인 $InAs_xSb_{1-x}$는 좋은 성장 안정성과 높은 전자, 홀 이동도를 가지며, 제작 비용이 적게 드는 등 적외선 광소자 제작에 많은 이점을 가지고 있기 때문에 그에 관한 연구가 최근 활발히 진행 되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 $InAs_xSb_{1-x}$를 소자 제작에 이용하기 위해서는 임의의 As 함량에 따른 InAsSb의 물질의 광학적 특성 정보가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 1.5~6.0 eV 에너지 구간에서 $InAs_xSb_{1-x}$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}1$) 화합물의 임의의 As 함량에 따른 유전함수를 분석하고 그 분석 변수들을 보고하고자 한다. 기성박막층착장치 (molecular beam epitaxy)를 이용하여 GaAs 기판 위에 성장 시킨 $InAs_xSb_{1-x}$ (x = 0.000, 0.127, 0.337, 0.491, 0.726, 1.000) 박막의 순수한 유전함수 $\varepsilon$을 화학적 에칭을 통해 산화막 층을 제거하여 타원편광분석법을 이용하여 얻었다. 측정된 유전율 함수는 Gaussian-broadened polynomial 들의 합으로서 반도체 물질의 유전함수를 정확히 기술하는 변수화 모델을 이용하여 재현하였다. 변수화 모델을 통해 얻어진 각각의 변수들을 As 조성비 x 에 대한 다항식으로 피팅하여 임의의 As 조성비에 대한 변수 값을 얻었다. 그 결과 임의의 조성비에 따른 $InAs_xSb_{1-x}$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}1$) 의 유전율 함수를 얻어낼 수 있었다. 우리는 이러한 결과가 물질의 실시간 성장 모니터링이나 다층구조 분석, 광소자의 제작 등에 유용한 정보를 제공할 것으로 확신한다.

Measurements of phase identification and degree of orientation for fine-grained (about 0.3 mm in diameter) minerals in rock samples performed by micro-area X-ray diffractometer.$Al_{2}SiO_{5}$ polymorphs (andalusite, kyanite and sillimanite) were chosen for the measurements and target minerals were existed on thin sections. Micro-area X-ray diffractometer is composed of 3(${\omega}\;{\chi}\;{\phi}$)-circle oscillating goniometer and position sensitive proportional counter (PSPC). $CuK_{\alpha}$ radiation was used as X-ray source and a pin hole ($50\;\mu\textrm{m}$$ in diameter) collimator was selected to focus radiation X-ray onto the target minerals. Phase identification and diffracted X-ray peak indexing were carried out by 3(${\omega}\;{\chi}\;{\phi}$)-circle oscillation measurement. Then, 2(${\omega}\;{\phi}$)-circle oscillation measurement was made for the purpose of searching the prevailing lattice plane of the minerals on thin section surface. Finally, for a selected peak by 2-circle oscillation measurement, X-ray pole figure measurement was executed for the purpose of check the degree of orientation of the single lattice direction and examine its pole distribution. As a result of 3-circle oscillation measurement, it was possible that phase identification among $Al_{2}SiO_{5}$ polymorphs. And from the results of 2-circle oscillation measurement and X-ray pole figure measurement, we recognized that poles of andalusite (122), kyanite (200) and sillimanite (310) lattice plances were well developed with direction normal to each mineral surface plane respectively. Therfore, the measurements used with micro-area X-ray diffractometer in this study will be a useful tool of phase identification and degree of orientation measurement for fine-grained rock forming minerals.

We used melt polymerization method to prepare a series of aromatic liquid crystals (LCs) based on aromatic ester and amide units with the reactive methyl-maleimide end group, and then the resulting thermally cross-linked LCs to produce LC thermoset films by means of solution casting and the followed heat treatment. The synthesized LCs and LCTs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and polarizing optical microscopy (POM) with a hot stage. All of the LCs prepared by melt polymerization method formed smectic mesophases. The thermal properties of the LC and LCT films were strongly affected by the mesogen units in the main chain structures. The thermal expansion coefficients of samples were in the range of 27.72~50.95 ppm/$^{\circ}C$.

Chrysotile is well known as a fibrous mineral in serpentinite by the previous studies in S. Korea. Previous studies in other countries showed that antigorite also occurred as asbestiform and harmful to humans. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate types and characteristics of fibrous serpentine minerals occurred in serpentinite in Hongseong, Chungnam and Gapyeong, Gyeonggi in S. Korea. XRD, SEM-EDS, PLM and EPMA mapping analyses were used to examine the occurrence and formation mechanism of serpentine minerals. Serpentinization partially occurred in amphibole-schist and calc-schist at two study sites, Hongseong, Chungnam and Gapyeong, Gyeonggi, respectively. Both chrysotile and antigorite occurred as a fibrous mineral at Hongseong site, but chrysotile occurred as a fibrous mineral at Gapyeong site. Based on PLM analysis with dispersion staining, the chrysotile was observed horizontally magenta and vertically blue colors. The antigorite appeared as horizontally gold to golden magenta and vertically blue magenta colors under central stop dispersion staining objective(DSO). PLM and SEM analyses showed the fibrous minerals were formed from plate form of serpentine minerals or by hydrothermal alternation of primary minerals. The EPMA mapping showed that Mg contents in chrysotile is relatively higher than that in antigorite while Si and O contents in antigorite is higher than them in chrysotile. However, more studies are necessary to know the exact variation in chemical composition of chrysotile and antigorite. These results indicate that even though asbestiform antigorite found associated with asbestos chrysotile in serpentinites, the fibrous antigorite can be distinguished from chrysotile by different dispersion staining colors.
