Pseudolaric acids of Pseudolarix kaempferi (Pinaceae) have been known as diterpenoids with potent anti-fungal-, anti-microbial, and cytotoxic activities. In the present study, the five MeOH extracts were prepared from the five plant part (root bark, stem bark, leaf, the inner part of root, and cone) to find the relation between the concentration of pseudolaric acids and cytotoxicity. Pseudolaric acids B and C were isolated from the root bark of P. kaempferi to use them as standard compounds. The five extracts were tested on cytotoxicity against six cancer cell lines, A549 (lung), HCT116 (colon), MDA-MB-231 (breast), SNU638 (stomach), and SK-hep-1 (liver) by SRB assay, but against K562 (leukemia) by SRB- or MTT assay. HPLC quantification were performed on a Shisheido Capcell PAK C18 column ($5{\mu}m$, $4.6mm{\times}250mm$) using 254 nm wavelength. The cytotoxicity ($IC_{50}$, $0.36{\mu}g/ml$ on K562 cell lines) of the root bark extract was potent and the content (101.1 mg/g extract) of pseudolaric acid B was very high in the root bark. These results suggest that the MeOH extract obtained from the root bark could be developed as the anti-cancer agent with a high quantity of pseudolaric acid B.

Oxytetracycline, tetracycline, chlortetracycline and doxycycline in honey were separated by solid phase extraction (SPE) and determined with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV/Visible detector. Analysis was carried out using following conditions: XTerra $C_8$ column $(3.9\times150mm\;i.d. 5{\mu}m)$, mobile phase composed of 0.01M oxalic acid : methanol : acetonitrile (820 : 80 : 100, v/v/v), isocratic pump at a flow rate of 0.9 ml/min. and $50{\mu}l$ of injection volume, UV/Visible detector with wavelength of 360nm. The calibration curves of four tetracyclines showed linearity $(\gamma^2>0.999)$ at concentration range of $100\~1,000 ng/ml$. The recoveries in fortified honey represented more than $70\%$ with low coefficient of variation $(<10\%)$ for concentration range of four tetracyclines. The detection limits for oxytetracycline, tetracycline, chlortetracycline and doxycycline were 13.8, 14.6, 26.2 and 24.9ng/g in acacia honey. respectively. We also monitored tetracyclines residue in domestic honey [n : 38, acacia (20), wild flower (18) ] and foreign honey [n=22, legally distributed (13), illegally distributed (9)] using modified Charm II screening and HPLC confirmation methods. Seven of the 60 samples $(11.7\%)$ were suspect positive using modified Charm II screening test. Chlortetracycline residue was found in one foreign honey (illegally distributed) tested at concentrations of 0.22 ppm. Conclusively, for more effective control of tetracyclines used in beekeeping should be further survey for residues in honey and also national guidelines (maximum residue limit : MRL) and methods should be obligatory.

Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) supported on glass are widely used as substrates in PEC studies for photovoltaic hydrogen generation applications However, high sheet resistane ($10{\sim}15{\Omega}/cm^2$) and fragileness of glass-supported TCO substrates are the obstacles to produce the large area PEC cells. Such internal sheet resistance is detrimental to efficient collection of photogenerated majority charge carriers at the photoactive material and electrolyte interface. Moreover, these TCO substrates are very expensive and consume about 40~60% cost of the devices. Hence, a low sheet resistance of the substrate is a key point in improving the performance of PEC devices. Metallic substrates coated with a photoactive material would be a good choice for efficient charge collection. Such metal substrates based photanodes are best candidate for large-scale phtoelectrochemical water splitting for hydrogen generation. In this study, we report the enhanced PEC performance of $WO_3$ film on metal(chemical etched, bare) substrate. It is proposed that interface between $WO_3$ and the metal substrate is responsible for efficient charge transfer and demonstrated significant improvement in the photoelectrochmical performance. X-ray diffration and FESEM suduies reveled that $WO_3$ films are monoclinic, porous, polycrystalline with average grain size of ~50nm. Photocurrent of $WO_3$ prepared on metal substrates was measured in 0.5M $H_2SO_4$ electroyte under simulated $100mW/cm^2$ illumination.

펄스 직류 전원 $BCl_3/SF_6$ 플라즈마를 이용하여 GaAs/$Al_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}As$의 선택적 식각을 연구하였다. 식각 주요 공정 변수는 $BCl_3/SF_6$ 플라즈마에서 $SF_6$ 가스 유량(0~50%)이었다. $BCl_3/SF_6$의 총 가스 유량은 20 sccm이었다. 다른 공정 조건인 공정 압력(100 mTorr), 펄스 파워(500 V), 펄스 주파수(200 kHz), 리버스 시간 (0.7 ${\mu}s$)은 일정하게 고정시켰으며 기계적 펌프만을 이용하여 공정을 진행하였다. 오실로스코프(Oscilloscope) 데이터에 의하면 가스의 조성 변화에도 척에 걸리는 입력 전압과 전류가 거의 변화가 없었다. $BCl_3/SF_6$ 가스가 10%의 조성에서 GaAs와 $Al_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}As$의 식각 선택비가 약 48 : 1로 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 그러나 $BCl_3/SF_6$ 가스의 증가는 GaAs의 식각율과 선택도를 감소시켰다. 그리고 $SF_6$ 가스의 조성비가 30% 이상일 경우에는 GaAs와 $Al_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}As$가 식각되지 않았다. 식각 후에 GaAs의 표면 거칠기(RMS surface roughness)는 0.7~1.3 nm로 나타났다. 위의 결과들을 종합적으로 보면 펄스 직류 전원 $BCl_3/SF_6$의 조성비가 10%일 때 가장 좋은 식각 선택비를 얻을 수 있었다.

Recently, graphene and graphene-based materials such as graphene oxide (GO) or reduced graphene oxide (R-GO) draws a great attention for electronic devices due to their structures of one atomic layer of carbon hexagon that have excellent mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical properties and very high specific surface area that can be high potential for chemical functionalization. R-GO is a promising candidate because it can be prepared with low-cost from solution process by chemical oxidation and exfoliation using strong acids and oxidants to produce graphene oxide (GO) and its subsequent reduction. R-GO has been used as semiconductor or conductor materials as well as sensing layer for bio-molecules or ions. In this work, reduced graphene oxide field-effect transistor (R-GO FET) has been fabricated with ITO extended gate structure that has sensing area on ITO extended gate part. R-GO FET device was encapsulated by tetratetracontane (TTC) layer using thermal evaporation. A thermal annealing process was carried out at $140^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours in the same thermal vacuum chamber to remove defects in R-GO film before deposition of TTC at $50^{\circ}C$ with thickness of 200 nm. As a result of this process, R-GO FET device has a very high stability and durability for months to serve as a transducer for sensing applications.

수직으로 정렬된 1차원 ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs)는 효율적인 반사방지 특성의 기하학적 구조를 갖고 있어, 크기와 모양 그리고 정렬형태의 다양한 설계를 통해 빛의 흡수율과 광 추출효율을 증가시켜 광전소자 및 태양광 소자의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있으며, 최근 이러한 연구에 대한 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ZnO NRAs의 넓은 표면적과 불연속적인 독특한 표면을 활용하여 광학적 특성을 효과적으로 개선하였다. 실험을 위해, thermal evaporator를 사용하여 Au와 Ag 그리고 e-beam evaporator를 사용하여 $SiO_2$를 ZnO NRAs 표면에 여러 가지 조건으로 증착하여, 독특한 계층 나노구조의 형성과 광학적 특성을 관찰하였다. 표면 roughness가 큰 FTO/glass 위에 수열합성법을 통해 끝이 뾰족하고, 비스듬히 정렬된 ZnO nano-tip array에 Au를 증착할 경우 ZnO/Au core/shell 구조가 형성되며, Au의 광 흡수율이 매우 크게 증가함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 반면 flat한 표면위에 빽빽하게 수직으로 정렬된 ZnO NRAs를 성장시켜 그 위에 Ag를 증착할 경우, evaporated Ag flux가 ZnO nanorod의 사이에 scattered 되어 ZnO nanorod 기둥의 측면에 직경이 50 nm 이하인 nanoparticles이 decorated 되어 국소표면플라즈몬 현상이 관찰되었으며, 이러한 효과를 통해 입사되는 빛의 흡수율을 효과적으로 증가시킬 수 있었다. 또한, ZnO NRAs의 표면에 $SiO_2$를 e-beam evaporator를 이용하여 증착할 경우, 자연적으로 vapor flux와 ZnO nanorod 사이에 oblique angle이 $80^{\circ}$ 이상으로 증가하여 $SiO_2$ nanorods가 자발적으로 형성되어 ZnO/$SiO_2$ branch 계층형태의 나노구조를 제작할 수 있었다. 이러한 구조는 유효 graded refractive index profile로 인해 기존의 ZnO NRAs보다 개선된 반사방지 특성을 나타냈다. 이러한 계층 나노구조의 광학적 특성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 이론적으로 분석을 통해 광전자 소자의 성능의 개선에 대한 적용 가능성을 조사하였다.

최근 차세대 디스플레이, 터치스크린, 전자파 차폐 및 흡수 등의 다양한 응용분야에 적합한 소재를 개발하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 현재 주로 사용되는 ITO박막은 희소원소인 인듐의 매장량 한계와 높은 비용이 문제시 되고 있기 때문에, 대체 재료의 개발이 시급하게 요구되고 있다. 탄소나노튜브(CNT)는 금속을 능가하는 이론적인 전기전도도를 갖고 있으며 높은 탄성등의 우수한 기계적 성질을 갖고 있어 다양한 차세대 응용에 있어서 최적의 재료로 주목을 받고 있다. 특히, CNT 기반의 투명전도막은 기존의 ITO 박막 보다 우수한 유연성이 기대되어 더욱 기대를 모으고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 최종 고순도 재료를 얻기까지 합성 및 정제에 많은 공정과 시간이 요구되는 고가의 단층벽 나노튜브(SWNT)를 이용하지 않고, 웨이퍼 기판 위에 수직배향 합성한 상태의 다층벽 나노튜브(MWNT)를 별도의 정제과정 없이 초음파 분산한 뒤, 스프레이 코팅법을 이용하여 고분자 기판 위에 투명전도막을 제작하였고, 이때 각기 다른 길이의 수직배향 MWNT를 이용하여 유연성 투명전도막의 전기적 특성에 미치는 MWNT 길이의 영향에 대해 알아보았다. MWNT는 아세틸렌가스를 이용하여 열CVD법으로 합성하였고, 합성시간을 제어함으로써 길이가 다른 MWNT를 얻을 수 있었다. 투명전도막 제조공정의 단순화를 위하여 이용한 MWNT의 초음파 분산 결과, $500{\mu}m$ 이하 길이의 MWNT에서 분산성이 현저히 빨라지는 것을 확인하였다. 한편, 제작한 MWNT 기반의 유연성 투명전도막은 원자간힘현미경 및 면저항 측정기를 이용하여 막 두께에 따른 면저항 특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 응용 가능한 면저항을 갖는 MWNT 투명전도막의 두께는 최소 50 nm 이상이어야 함을 알았고, 특히 MWNT등의 접촉점(node) 수에 따른 접촉저항 및 전기전도경로(electric conductivity path)를 고려했을 때 최적의 MWNT 길이가 존재하는 것을 확인하였다.

$TiO_2$ thin films for high energy density capacitors were prepared by r.f. magnetron sputtering at room temperature. Flexible PET (Polyethylene terephtalate) substrate was used to maintain the structure of the commercial film capacitors. The effects of deposition pressure on the crystallization and electrical properties of $TiO_2$ films were investigated. The crystal structure of $TiO_2$ films deposited on PET substrate at room temperature was unrelated to deposition pressure and showed an amorphous structure unlike that of films on Si substrate. The grain size and surface roughness of films decreased with increasing deposition pressure due to the difference of mean free path. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed the formation of chemically stable $TiO_2$ films. The dielectric constant of $TiO_2$ films was significantly changed with deposition pressure. $TiO_2$ films deposited at low pressure showed high dissipation factor due to the surface microstructure. The dielectric constant and dissipation factor of films deposited at 70 mTorr were found to be 100~120 and 0.83 at 1 kHz, respectively. The temperature dependence of the capacitance of $TiO_2$ films showed the properties of class I ceramic capacitors. $TiO_2$ films deposited at 10~30 mTorr showed dielectric breakdown at applied voltage of 7 V. However, the films of 500~300 nm thickness deposited at 50 and 70 mTorr showed a leakage current of ${\sim}10^{-8}{\sim}10^{-9}$ A at 100 V.

ZrN nanoparticles were prepared by an exothermic reduction of $ZrCl_4$ with $NaN_3$ in the presence of NaCl flux in a nitrogen atmosphere. Using a solid-state combustion approach, we have demonstrated that the zirconium nitride nanoparticles synthesis process can be completed in only several minutes compared with a few hours for previous synthesis approaches. The chemistry of the combustion process is not complex and is based on a metathesis reaction between $ZrCl_4$ and $NaN_3$. Because of the low melting and boiling points of the raw materials it was possible to synthesize the ZrN phase at low combustion temperatures. It was shown that the combustion temperature and the size of the particles can be readily controlled by tuning the concentration of the NaCl flux. The results show that an increase in the NaCl concentration (from 2 to 13 M) results in a temperature decrease from 1280 to $750^{\circ}C$. ZrN nanoparticles have a high surface area (50-70 $m^2/g$), narrow pore size distribution, and nano-particle size between 10 and 30 nm. The activation energy, which can be extracted from the experimental combustion temperature data, is: E = 20 kcal/mol. The method reported here is self-sustaining, rapid, and can be scaled up for a large scale production of a transition metal nitride nanoparticle system (TiN, TaN, HfN, etc.) with suitable halide salts and alkali metal azide.
