염료감응형 태양전지는 기존의 실리콘 태양전지에 비해 저렴한 가격과 다양한 날씨 조건에서도 태양광과의 반응성이 안정하다는 여러 가지 장점을 갖고 있다. 하지만 광전 변환 효율이 기존의 실리콘 태양전지에 비해 현저히 떨어진다는 문제점과 장기적으로 안정하지 못하다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한, 염료감응형 태양전지에서 크게 광전 변환 효율을 향상시킬 수 있는 재료는 염료, $TiO_2$와 같은 반도체 산화물전극 재료, 전해질이다. 이 중 $TiO_2$의 특성 및 크기는 염료감응형 태양전지의 효율에 영향을 미친다. 염료감응형 태양전지의 광전 변환 효율을 증가시키기 위해서 $TiO_2$는 넓은 비표면적, 높은 전자의 이동성 및 태양광과의 우수한 반응성을 가져야 한다. Microwave hydrothermal 방법에 의해 제조된 hollow $TiO_2$를 염료감응형 태양전지에 적용시킬 경우 기존의 $TiO_2$의 광흡수 반응이 200~400 nm 사이에서 발생하는 반면, hollow $TiO_2$의 광흡수 반응은 기존의 UV 영역인 200~400 nm 뿐만 아니라 가시광 영역인 400~460 nm 에서도 광흡수 반응이 가능하기 때문에 염료감응형 태양전지에서 광전 변환효율을 증가 시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한, microwave hydrothermal법에 의해 제조된 hollow $TiO_2$는 150-200 nm의 크기를 갖으며 20-30 nm 크기의 $TiO_2$ particle들로 이루어져 있다. hollow $TiO_2$ (150-200 nm)를 기존의 $TiO_2$ (10-20 nm) 층 위에 올려 염료감응형 태양전지의 electrode에 적용할 경우 기존의 $TiO_2$ 단층을 이용한 것보다 우수한 light-scattering 효과를 갖게 되어 광전 변환 효율 증가에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것이다. 본 연구에서는 hollow $TiO_2$의 광학적 특성 및 결정성이 염료감응형 태양전지에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. hollow $TiO_2$의 광학적 특성 및 결정성의 변화를 위하여 microwave hydrothermal 법의 합성 온도 및 합성시간에 변화를 주었다. hollow $TiO_2$의 광학적 특성은 UV-visible spectrometer를 이용하여 조사하였으며, hollow $TiO_2$의 형상과 결정학적 특성은 TEM과 SEM 그리고 X선 회절 분석을 이용하여 관찰되었고, hollow $TiO_2$의 비표면적 측정은 BET 측정법을 이용하였다. 또한 염료감응형 태양전지 cell을 제작하여 $100mW/cm^2$(AM 1.5G) 기준에서 광전 변환 효율을 측정하였다.

We obtained resonance field ($H_{res}$) and linewidth (${\Delta}H_{PP}$) from measured ferromagnetic resonance signal in the functions of polar angle (${\Theta}_H$) in Ni thin film of 240 nm thickness fabricated by electrodeposition method. The angular dependence of $H_{res}$ was well fitted with the calculated ones. We confirmed that the g-factor and effective demagnetization field were 2.18 and 445 emu/cc by the theoretical analysis of the resonance field, respectively. The angular dependence of ${\Delta}H_{PP}$ showed very large values at in-plane direction (${\Theta}_H=90^{\circ}$), which could not explained by the homogenous linewidth due to the Gilbert damping and inhomogeneous linewidth due to the angular variations and magnetization variations by the surface layer. Therefore, we considered the spin wave scattering (two magnon scattering) process in order to analyze the measured inhomogeneous linewidth, which was appeared in thicker film than the critical thickness of 50 nm. The defect medicated spin wave scattering played a key role in the electrodoposited Ni thin film of 240 nm thickness.

The present study was intended to prepare cobalt oxide ($Co_3O_4$) powder of average particle size 50 nm or less by spray pyrolysis reaction using the raw cobalt chloride ($CoCl_2$) solution, in order to identify the change in the nature of the particles according to the change in the nozzle tip size. When the nozzle tip was 1 mm, it turned out that most of the droplets were spherical and the surface showed very tight structure. The average particle size of the finally formed particles was 20-30 nm. When the nozzle tip size was 2 mm, some of the droplets formed were spherical, but a considerable part of them showed severely disrupted form. particles formed showed an average particle size of 30 - 40 nm. For the nozzle tip size of 5 mm, spherical droplets were almost non-existent and most were in badly fragmented state. The tightness of surface structure of the droplets has greatly been reduced compared with other nozzle tip sizes. Average size of the formed particles was about 25 nm. As the nozzle tip size increased from 1 mm to 2 mm and 3 mm, the intensities of the XRD peaks have changed little, but significantly been reduced when the nozzle tip size increased to 5mm. As the nozzle tip size increased from 1 mm to 2 mm, the specific surface area of the particles decreased, but the nozzle tip size increased to 5mm, the specific surface area remarkably increased.

Hempseed, a dehulled Cannabis fructus, has high nutraceutical potential. It has plenty of essential amino acids, vitamins, and essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, including α- and γ-linolenic acid. Increased exercise capacity, cognitive function, and ameliorative effects against hypercholesterolemia, neuro-inflammation, thrombus formation, and learning and memory impairment were reported in hemp-seed oil-administered models. Therefore, the market prices of hempseed oil are 45~140-fold higher than the other plant-derived oils, such as soy, corn, olive, canola, or linseed oil. In this study, instead of FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) or FTIR-Raman spectroscopy, a simple UV-Vis spectrophotometry method was developed to authenticate the hempseed oil. Measurements of absorbance at 245, 305, and 415 nm of oils and calculations of 245/415 and 315/415 nm provided that the ratios of 245/415 and 315/415 nm of authentic hempseed oils were 12.9 and 9.6, respectively. The 245/415 and 315/415 nm of soy oil, corn oil, canola oil, and linseed oil were 35.4~61.8 and 29.7~50.8, respectively. This simple UV-Vis spectrophotometry method could also be applied to differentiate hempseed oil from blended oil products in markets.

For several decades, industrial processes consume a huge amount of raw water for various objects that consequently results in the generation of large amounts of wastewater. There effluents are mainly treated by conventional technologies such are aerobic, anaerobic treatment and chemical coagulation. But, there processes are not suitable for eliminating all hazardous chemical compounds form wastewater and generate a large amount of toxic sludge. Therefore, other processes have been studied and applied together with these techniques to enhance purification results. These techniques include photocatalysis, absorption, advanced oxidation processes, and ozonation, but also have their own drawbacks. In recent years, electrochemical techniques have received attention as wastewater treatment process that show higher purification results and low toxic sludge. There are many kinds of electrode materials for electrochemical process, among them, boron doped diamond (BDD) attracts attention due to good chemical and electrochemical stability, long lifetime and wide potential window that necessary properties for anode electrode. So, there are many researches about high quality BDD, among them, researches are focused BDD on Si substrate. But, Si substrate is hard to apply electrode application due to the brittleness and low life time. And other substrates are also not suitable for wastewater treatment electrode due to high cost. To solve these problems, Ti has been candidate as substrate in consideration of cost and properties. But there are critical issues about adhesion that must be overcome to apply Ti as substrate. In this study, to overcome this problem, TiN interlayer is introduced between BDD and Ti substrate. TiN has higher electrical and thermal conductivity, melting point, and similar crystalline structure with diamond. The TiN interlayer was deposited by reactive DC magnetron sputtering (DCMS) with thickness of 50 nm, $1{\mu}m$. The microstructure of BDD films with TiN interlayer were estimated by FE-SEM and XRD. There are no significant differences in surface grain size despite of various interlayer. In wastewater treatment results, the BDD electrode with TiN (50nm) showed the highest electrolysis speed at livestock wastewater treatment experiments. It is thought to be that TiN with thickness of 50 nm successfully suppressed formation of TiC that harmful to adhesion. And TiN with thickness of $1{\mu}m$ cannot suppress TiC formation.

InP 기판위에 자발성장법으로 성장된 InAs 양자점은 $1.55{\mu}m$ 영역에서 발진하는 양자점 반도체 레이저 다이오드 및 광 증폭기를 제작할 수 있기 때문에 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 광통신 대역의 $1.55{\mu}m$ 반도체 레이저 다이오드 및 광 증폭기 분야에서 InAs/InP 양자점이 많은 관심을 받고 있으나, InAs/GaAs 양자점에 비해 제작이 어려운 단점을 가지고 있다. InAs/InP 양자점은 InAs/GaAs 양자점에 비해 격자 불일치가 작아 양자점의 크기가 크고 특히 As 계 박막과 P 계박막의 계면에서 V 족 원소 교환 반응으로 계면 특성 저하가 발생하여 성장이 까다롭다. As 과 P 간의 교환반응은 성장온도와 V/III 에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 보고되었다. 그러나, P계 InGaAsP 박막 위에 InAs 성장 시 발생하는 As/P 교환반응에 대한 연구는 매우 적다. 본 연구에서는 InGaAsP 박막 위에 InAs 양자점 성장 시 GI (growth interruption)에 의한 As/P 교환반응이 InAs 양자점의 형상 및 광학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 시료는 수직형 저압 Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD)를 이용하여 $520^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 성장하였다. 그림1(a) 구조의 양자점은 InP (100) 기판위에 InP buffer layer를 성장한 후 InP와 격자상수가 일치하는 $1.1{\mu}m$ 파장의 InGaAsP barrier를 50 nm 성장하였다. 그 후 As 분위기 하에서 다양한 GI 시간을 주었고 그 위에 InAs 양자점을 성장하였다. 양자점 성장 후 InGaAsP barrier를 50 nm, InP capping layer를 50 nm 성장하였다. AFM측정을 위해 InP capping layer 위에 동일한 GI 조건의 InAs/InGaAsP 양자점을 성장하였고 양자점 성장 후 As분위기 하에 온도를 내려주었다. 그림1(b) 구조의 양자점은 그림1(a) 와 모든 조건은 동일하나 InAs 양자점과 InGaAsP barrier 사이에 GaAs 2ML를 삽입한 구조이다. 양자점 형상 특성 평가는 Atomic force microscopy를 이용하였으며, 광특성 분석은 Photoluminescence를 이용하였다.

The phase stability in the interface of Sr-doped LaMnO3(LSM)/Gd-doped CeO2(CGO) was examined in this study in order to check the feasibility of using LSM as the cathode material in a low-temperature SOFC(solid oxide fuel cell) using CGO as the electrolyte. For the purpose, CGO powders of Ce0.82Gd0.18O0.91 and two LSM powders having different compositions, La0.9Sr0.1MnO3(LSM10) and La0.5Sr0.5MnO3(LSM50), were synthesized using Pechini method. Then, specimens having the LSM/CGO interface were prepared, heat-treated at 130$0^{\circ}C$ for up to 3 days, and analyzed by XRD and STEM/EDX. Face-centered cubic CGO powders of less than 10 nm size were obtained by calcination of polymeric precursor formed in the process at 45$0^{\circ}C$. Higher calcination temperature of $700^{\circ}C$ was necessary for monoclinic LSM10 and cubic LSM50 powders. LSM powders were coarser than CGO and observed to be in the range of 50~100 nm. No trace of LSM-CGO interaction product was found in the XRD pattern. Also it was known from the concentration profile in the vicinity of the interface that interdiffusion was occurred over only a small penetration depth of ~100 nm order.

Tin oxide thin films were fabricated on glass substrates by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method at room temperature and ambient pressure. Before measuring their properties, all samples were annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in air. Film thickness increased with the number of cycles; X-ray diffraction patterns for the annealed $SnO_2$ thin films indicated a $SnO_2$ single phase. Thickness of the $SnO_2$ films increased from 12 to 50 nm as the number of cycles increased from 20 to 60. Although the optical transmittance decreased with thickness, 50 nm $SnO_2$ thin films exhibited a high value of more than 85%. Regarding electronic properties, sheet resistance of the films decreased as thickness increased; however, the measured resistivity of the thin film was nearly constant with thickness ($3{\times}10^{-4}ohm/cm$). From Hall measurements, the 50 nm thickness $SnO_2$ thin film had the highest mobility of the samples ($8.6cm^2/(V{\cdot}s)$). In conclusion, optical and electronic properties of $SnO_2$ thin films could be controlled by adjusting the number of SILAR cycles.

This experiment was conducted to know the appropriate methods for extraction and determination of rutin contained buckwheat plants. The efficient HPLC analytical condition of rutin contained buckwheat plants was developed. The gradient elution employed a $250mm\times4.6mm$ i.d. Tosoh ODS 120T column. The gradient system was used two mobile phases. A gradient elution was performed with mobile phase A, consisting of $2\%$ Acetic $acid-45\%$ Acetonitrile, and mobile phase B, comprising $2\%$ aqueous acetic acid, and delivered at a flow rate of 1mL/min as follows: 0-18 min, $50-100\%$ A; 18-20 min, $100-50\%$ A; 20-22 min, $50\%$ A. The UV detection wavelength was set at 355 nm. The limit of detection (LOD) for rutin standard compound was 20 ng/mL. And, the higher content of rutin in the extracts was obtained by $80^{\circ}C$ reflex extraction for 120 min. from plants of buckwheat using ethanol.

Changes in color intensity of Hololeion maximowiczii(HM) roots which were treated with freeze drying (FD), $50^{\circ}C$ hot air drying (HAD) and $50^{\circ}C$ hot air drying after steam blanching (HADB) were investigated in this study. Color of HADB was yellow-green while other treatments showed bright brown color. In brown color intensity, optical density at 420 nm of FD treatment was highest but HADB treatment showed the highest value in ultra violet spectrum. Water soluble pigment of HM in state of aquous solution was more unstable for heat treatment than that in state of powder. Activation energy for decomposition of the pigment was 20.9 kcal/mole between $90{\sim}100^{\circ}C$ but 50.6 kcal/mole between $80{\sim}90^{\circ}C$.
