$SnO_2$ 나노선은 n-type 반도체 특성을 띄며 트랜지스터, 가스 센서, pH 센서 등 여러 분야에 걸쳐 다양하게 사용되고 있다. $SnO_2$ 나노선은 그 자체만으로 시계방향의 전기적 히스테리시스를 보이며 이것은 나노선 표면에 흡착된 물이나 산소가 발생시키는 전자 갇힘 현상이 가장 큰 원인으로 작용한다. 특히 고분자를 게이트 절연막으로 사용할 경우 게이트 절연막의 전기적 히스테리시스가 소자 특성에 영향을 미치게 되며, 고분자 절연막의 히스테리시스는 $SnO_2$ 나노선의 히스테리시스와 반대인 반시계 방향의 특성을 보인다. 고분자 내에서 발생하는 히스테리시스는 고분자 사이에 흡착된 물 분자나 고분자의 높은 극성을 가지는 작용기 등이 원인으로 작용한다. 전기적 히스테리시스는 FET소자를 구동하는데 있어 부적절한 특성으로, 이것의 원인을 이해하는 것은 중요하며 히스테리시스의 방향과 크기를 조절할 수 있는 기술 또한 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 폴리이미드(PMDA-ODA)를 게이트 절연막으로 사용하여 플렉시블 기판을 만들고 그 위에 $SnO_2$ 나노선을 슬라이딩 전이 방식으로 정렬하여 플렉시블 FET를 제작하였다. 제작된 소자는 $0.7cm\;{\times}\;0.7cm$ 넓이 안에 300개의 FET가 존재하며 SEM 이미지를 통해 넓이 $50{\mu}m$, 길이 $5{\mu}m$의 FET채널에 약 150개의 나노선이 연결되어 있는 것을 확인했다. 이 소자의 히스테리시스는 폴리이미드의 교차결합 정도에 따라, 그리고 폴리이미드 절연막을 제작할 때의 습도에 따라 변하게 된다. 교차결합이 많아지고 습도가 낮아질수록 폴리이미드 절연막 내부에 흡착되는 물분자가 줄어들게 되고 절연막의 히스테리시스가 사라지며 시계방향의 나노선 히스테리시스가 지배적이 된다. 반대로 교차결합이 줄어들고 습도가 높아질수록 폴리이미드 절연막 내부에 물분자가 늘어 나면서 시계반대방향의 폴리이미드 히스테리시스가 FET의 전기적 특성에서 눈에 띄게 나타난다. 이 실험을 통해 고분자 절연막을 사용한 $SnO_2$ 나노선 FET의 전기적 히스테리시스를 조절할 수 있었으며, 소자의 히스테리시스를 없앨 수 있는 가능성에 대해서 논하고자 한다.

n-type 반도체 특성을 띄는 $SnO_2$ 나노선은 가스 센서, 투명 소자, 태양광 전지 등으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 화학기상증착법으로 성장한 $SnO_2$ 나노선으로 폴리이미드 (PMDA-ODA: PI) 박막을 게이트 절연막으로 이용한 전계효과트랜지스터를 플렉서블 기판에 제작하고 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 전자 전달 특성 곡선으로부터 n-형의 반도체 특성을 확인하였으며, 대부분의 산화금속 나노선에서와 같이 매우 큰 전기적 히스테리시스가 관찰되었다. 산화금속계통 나노선 소자의 히스테리시스는 나노선 표면에 산소 및 물 분자가 흡착되어 생기는 전자 갇힘 현상이 가장 큰 원인으로 알려져 있는데, 이러한 히스테리시스를 조절하거나 없애는 것은 소자의 특성 향상에 있어 매우 중요하다. 한편 PI 절연막에는 느린 분극 현상을 만드는 OH 반응기가 존재하기 때문에 나노선과는 반대 방향의 히스테리시스를 보일 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 제작된 $SnO_2$ 나노선 FET에서 PI 게이트 절연막의 경화 정도에 따른 히스테리시스를 조사하였다. FT-IR 측정에 따르면, PI 필름에 존재하는 OH 반응기는 PI를 경화시킴에 따라 감소하였으며 전기적인 히스테리시스도 감소하였다. 따라서, 절연막을 경화시키지 않았을 때는 PI 내부에 다량의 OH 반응기가 존재하여, PI의 히스테리시스가 나노선 히스테리시스보다 더 크게 작용하여, 전체적으로는 PI의 특성인 반시계 (counterclockwise) 방향의 히스테리시스를 나타내었다. 한편, 절연막을 완전히 경화시키면, OH 반응기는 대부분 사라지고 나노선의 히스테리시스만 발현되어 소자는 시계방향의 히스테리시스를 보였다. 이러한 실험결과를 통해, PI 박막을 $250^{\circ}C$ 에서 약 7분간 경화시켰을 때 나노선과 절연막의 히스테리시스가 가장 이상적으로 상쇄되어 전체적으로 히스테리시스가 매우 작아진 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이는 향후 나노선 FET의 안정적인 응용에 매우 유용한 결과로 활용될 것으로 예측된다.

Finite element technique considering adhesive forces is proposed and applied to analyze the behavior of elastic hemispherical asperity adhesively contacting the plane surface of semi -infinite rigid body. It is demonstrated that the finite element model simulates interfacial phenomena such as jump -to-contact and adhesion hysteresis that cannot be simulated with the currently available adhesive contact continuum models. This simulation aiso provides valuable information on contact pressure, contact region and stress distributions. This technique is anticipated to be utilized in designing a low-adhesion surface profile for MEMS/NEMS applications since various contact geometries can be analyzed with this technique.

A resistive-type humidity sensors have been fabricated using cross-linked PMMA thin film as sensing material and their humidity characteristics have been investigated. The sensor coated of the cross-linked PMMA with PVA exhibited largely variation of resistance by increase of relative humidity and less than 3% of hysteresis. Furthermore, the fabricated sensor exhibited superior long-term stability. The response time of the PMMA humidity sensor was about 7 min. for adsorption and about 5 min. for desorption respectively.

Ti-SBA-15 catalysts doped with lanthanide ions (Ln/Ti-SBA-15) were successfully synthesized using conventional hydrothermal method. In addition, they were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, DRS, BET, and PL. The activity of these materials on the photocatalytic decomposition of methylene blue under ultraviolet light irradiation was also examined. Ti-SBA-15 catalysts doped with various lanthanide ions maintained their mesoporous structure. The pore size and pore volume of Ln/Ti-SBA-15 materials decreased but their surface area increased upon the doping of lanthanide ion. Ln/Ti-SBA-15 materials exhibited the type IV nitrogen isotherm with desorption hysteresis loop type H2, which was characteristic of mesoporous materials. The size of hysteresis increased in the doping of lanthanide ions on Ti-SBA-15 material. There was no absorption in the visible region (> 400 nm) regardless of the doping of lanthanide ions to TiO₂ particles, while the broad bands at 220 nm appeared at the Ln/Ti-SBA-15 samples, indicating the framework incorporation of titanium into SBA-15. 1 mol% Pr/ Ti-SBA-15 catalysts showed the highest photocatalytic activity on the decomposition of methylene blue but the Ti-SBA-15 catalysts doped with Eu, Er, and Nd ions showed lower activity compared to pure Ti-SBA-15 catalyst. The PL peaks appeared at about 410 nm at all catalysts while the excitonic PL signal was proportional to the photocatalytic activity for the decomposition of methylene blue.

This paper summarizes fundamental research on a metal hydrides for the development of new energy. We made a study of the characteristics of the hydrogen absorption-desorption of $DiNi_5$ alloys. As a result, we found that the maximum amount of the hydrogen absorption of $DiNi_5$ alloys (the maximum in the absorption equilibrium pressure section) was H/M=1.04 at $30^{\circ}C$. The hysteresis was the smallest at $30^{\circ}C$. The capability of the hydrogen absorption-desorption was excellent. The number of cycles of the hydrogen absorption-desorption was about 9000 times at $30^{\circ}C$. We found also that the rate of the hydrogen desorption was the largest at $40^{\circ}C$.

As demanding the detection of explosive molecules, it is required to develop rapidly and precisely responsive sensors with ultra-high sensitivity. Since two-dimensional semiconductors have an atomically thin body nature where mobile carriers accumulate, the abrupt modulation carrier in the thin body channel can be expected. To investigate the effectiveness of WSe₂ semiconductor materials as a detection material for TNT (Trinitrotoluene) explosives, WSe₂ was synthesized using thermal chemical vapor deposition, and afterward, WSe₂ FETs (Field Effect Transistors) were fabricated using standard photo-lithograph processes. Raman Spectrum and FT-IR (Fourier-transform infrared) spectroscopy reveal that the adsorption of TNT molecules induces the structural transition of WSe₂ crystalline. The electrical properties before and after adsorption of TNT molecules on the WSe₂ surface were compared; as -50 V was applied as the back gate bias, 0.02 μA was recorded in the bare state, and the drain current increased to 0.41 μA with a dropping 0.6% (w/v) TNT while maintaining the p-type behavior. Afterward, the electrical characteristics were additionally evaluated by comparing the carrier mobility, hysteresis, and on/off ratio. Consequently, the present report provides the milestone for developing ultra-sensitive sensors with rapid response and high precision.

The silica containing carbon ($C-SiO_2$) membranes were fabricated using poly(imide siloxane)(Si-PI) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) blended polymer. The characteristics of porous carbon structures prepared by the pyrolysis of polymer blends were related with the micro-phase separation behaviors of the two polymers. The glass transition temperatures ($T_g$) of the mixed polymer blends of Si-PI and PVP were observed with a single $T_g$ using differential scanning calorimetry. Furthermore, the nitrogen adsorption isotherms of the $C-SiO_2$ membranes were investigated to define the characteristics of porous carbon structures. The $C-SiO_2$ membranes derived from Si-PI/PVP showed the type IV isotherm and possessed the hysteresis loop, which was associated with the mesoporous carbon structures. For the molecular sieving probe, the $C-SiO_2$ membranes were prepared with the ratio of Si-PI/PVP and the pyrolysis conditions, such as the pyrolysis temperature and the isothermal times. Consequently, the $C-SiO_2$ membranes prepared by the pyrolysis of Si-PI/PVP at $550^{\circ}C$ with the isothermal time of 120 min showed the $O_2$ permeability of 820 Barrer ($1{\times}10^{-10}cm^3(STP)cm/cm^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}cmHg$) and $O_2/N_2$ selectivity of 14.

Catalytic activities of the partial oxidation of methane (POM) to hydrogen were investigated over Pd(5)/Ti-SPK and Pd(5)/Zr-SPK in a fixed bed flow reactor (FBFR) under atmosphere, and the catalysts were characterized by BET, XPS, XRD. The BET surface areas, pore volume and pore width of Horvath-Kawaze, micro pore area and volume of t-plot of Pd(5)/Ti-SPK and Pd(5)/Zr-SPK were $284m^2/g$, $0.233cm^3/g$, 3.9 nm, $30m^2/g$, $0.015cm^3/g$ and $396m^2/g$, $0.324cm^3/g$, 3.7nm, $119m^2/g$, $0.055cm^3/g$, repectively. The nitrogen adsorption isotherms were type IV with hysteresis. XPS showed that Si 2p and O 1s core electronlevels of Ti-SPK and Zr-SPK substituted Ti and Zr shifted to slightly lower binding energies than SPK. The oxidation states of Pd on the surface of catalysts were $Pd^0$ and $Pd^{+2}$. XRD patterns showed that crystal structures of fresh catalyst changed amorphous into crystal phase after reaction. The conversion and selectivity of POM to hydrogen over Pd(5)/Ti-SPK and Pd(5)/Zr-SPK were 77, 84% and 78, 72%, respectively, at 973 K, $CH_4/O_2$ = 2, GHSV = $8.4{\times}10^4mL/g_{cat}{\cdot}h$ and were kept constant even after 3 days in stream. These results confirm superior activity, thermal stability, and physicochemical properties of catalyst in POM to hydrogen.

The catalyst carriers of the mesoporous layer compounds were prepared to carry out the partial oxidation of methane(POM) to hydrogen. The catalytic activities of POM to hydrogen were investigated over Ru(3)/SPK and Ru(3)/SPM catalyst in a fixed bed flow reactor under atmosphere. In addition, the catalysts and carriers were characterized by BET, TEM, TPR. The BET surface areas of the silica-pillared $H^+-kenyaite$(SPK) and the silica-pillared $H^+-magadite$(SPM) were $760m^2/g$ and $810m^2/g$, repectively, and the average pore sizes were 3.0 nm and 2.6 nm, repectively. The nitrogen adsorption isotherms were type IV with developed hysteresis. The TEM showed that the mesoporous layer compounds were formed well. The Ru(3)/SPK and the Ru(3)/SPM catalyst were obtained high hydrogen yields(90%, 87%), and were kept constant high hydrogen yields even about 60 hours at 973 K, $CH_4/O_2=2$, $1.25{\times}10^{-5}g-Cat.hr/ml$. The TPR peaks of Ru(3)/SPK and the Ru(3)/SPM catalyst showed the similar reducibilities around 453 K and 413 K. It could be suggested that SPK and SPM had the physicochemical properties as oxidation catalyst carries from these analysis data.
