We investigated the application of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) coatings to fabricate a glass lens manufactured using a glass molding process (GMP). In this work, ta-C coatings with different thickness (50, 100, 150 and 200 nm) were deposited on a tungsten carbide (WC-Co) mold using the X-bend filter of a filtered cathode vacuum arc. The effects of thickness on mechanical and tribological properties of the coating were studied. These ta-C coatings were characterized by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, nano-indentation measurements, Raman spectrometry, Rockwell-C tests, scratch tests and ball on disc tribometer tests. The nano-indentation measurements showed that hardness increased with an increase in coating thickness. In addition, the G-peak position in the Raman spectra analysis was right shifted from 1520 to $1586cm^{-1}$, indicating that the $sp^3$ content increased with increasing thickness of ta-C coatings. The scratch test showed that, compared to other coatings, the 100-nm-thick ta-C coating displayed excellent adhesion strength without delamination. The friction test was carried out in a nitrogen environment using a ball-on-disk tribometer. The 100-nm-thick ta-C coating showed a low friction coefficient of 0.078. When this coating was applied to a GMP, the life time, i.e., shot counts, dramatically increased up to 2,500 counts, in comparison with Ir-Re coating.

In this study, we aimed to apply multispectral imaging (713 - 920 nm, 10 bands) for maturity classification and recognition of oriental melons grown in hydroponic greenhouses. A total of 20 oriental melons were selected, and time series multispectral imaging of oriental melons was 7 - 9 times for each sample from April 21, 2023, to May 12, 2023. We used several approaches, such as Savitzky-Golay (SG), standard normal variate (SNV), and Combination of SG and SNV (SG + SNV), for pre-processing the multispectral data. As a result, 713 - 759 nm bands were preprocessed with SG for the maturity classification of oriental melons. Additionally, a Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) was used to train the recognition model for oriental melon. R² of recognition model were 0.92, 0.91 for the training and validation sets, respectively, and the F-scores were 96.6 and 79.4% for the training and testing sets, respectively. Therefore, multispectral imaging in the range of 713 - 920 nm can be used to classify oriental melons maturity and recognize their fruits.

Two ferredoxin (Fd) fractions, namely, Fd-A and Fd-B were isolated from Heliobacillus mobilis cells, and purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE, gel-permeation and Phenyl-Superose column chromatographies under anaerobic conditions. Their absorption spectra were typical of 2[4Fe-4S] cluster type Fds with peaks at about 385 and 280 nm and a shoulder at about 305 nm. Their N-terminal amino acid sequences were determined, which showed that both of them contain a [4Fe-4S] cluster binding motif. Fd-B was sensitive to oxygen, and itsA$_{385}$ value decreased by about 50% in 2 h at 4$^{\circ}C$ under aerobic conditions. In contrast, $A_{385}$ of Fd-A was essentially unchanged up to 24 h under the same conditions.

Silica powders were prepared from $SiCl_4$-$H_2$O system by chemical vapor deposition process, and investigated on size control of the products with reaction conditions. The products were amorphous and nearly spherical particles with 130nm~50nm in size. The size distribution became narrow with the increase of [$H_2$O]/[SiCl$_4$] concentration ratio. The particle size decreased with the increase of reaction temperature, [$H_2$O]/[SiCl$_4$] concentration ratio and total flow rate. The specific surface area measured by BET method was about three times larger than that of electron microscope method.

Cobalt ferrite thin films on Corming glass substrate were fabricated by a sol-gel method. Cobalt ferrite thin films with the grain size of 20-35 nm and thickness of 50nm were obtained. Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) and Annealing processes were adopted for comparison of characteristics of the films. Coercivity values were changed with thermal condition and magnetization values were increased as a function of soaking time. With prolonged soaking time, however, it was decreased because of the diffusion of cations from the glass substrate. The RTA process in preparation of cobalt ferrite thin film was the effective way to prevent and to form a single spinel phase in reduced soaking time. The film heated at 600$^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes by RTA had coercivity of 2,600 Oe, saturation magnetization 460 emu/㎤, and Mr$.$$\delta$ of 1.43 memu/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

We modify ZnO nanorods with Zn-porphyrin to obtain the improved characteristics of energy transfer, which is further investigated for the applicability to photovoltaic devices. A nitrogen heterocyclic ligand containing a thiol group is covalently grafted onto the surface of finely structured ZnO nanorods with a length of 50-250 nm and a diameter of 15-20 nm. Zn-porphyrin is then attached to the ligand molecules by the mechanism of metalligand axial coordination. The resulting energy band diagram suggests that the porphyrin-modified ZnO nanorods might provide an efficient pathway for energy transfer upon being applied to photovoltaic devices.

The rapid and spontaneous adsorption of proteins on nanoparticle (NP) surfaces in biological fluids such as blood is an important phenomenon as it possibly determines "what the cells see" and, thus, the fates of NPs in living organisms. In order to quantitatively understand protein coronas at the molecular level, we investigated human serum albumin (HSA) coronas that were produced on silica NPs of 20 nm and 50 nm diameters using conventional gel electrophoresis. Analysis of the concentration dependence of protein adsorption showed that HSA coronas preferentially formed a monolayer on silica NPs and revealed the presence of hard protein coronas. HSA adsorption was clearly dependent on NP size, and this might be due to the different surface curvatures of NPs of different sizes.

In this paper, a design for a fully digital voltage sensor using a 32-nm fin-type field-effect transistor (FinFET) is presented. A new characteristic of the double gate p-type FinFET (p-FinFET) is examined and proven appropriate for sensing voltage variations. On the basis of this characteristic, a novel technique for designing low-power voltage-to-time converters is presented. Then, we develop a digital voltage sensor with a voltage range of 0.7 to 1.1V at a 50-mV resolution. The performance of the proposed sensor is evaluated under a range of voltages and process variations using Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) simulations, and the sensor is proven capable of operating under ultra-low power consumption, high linearity, and fairly high-frequency conditions (i.e., 100 MHz).

highly doped N-type 실리콘 기판 위에 극초단 펄스 레이저를 이용하여 LIPSS (Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structure) 패턴을 형성하였다. 형성된 LIPSS 구조는 $15{\mu}m$와 500 nm 주기를 가지는 ripple로 형성이 되었고 이 구조를 형성하기 위해서 사용된 레이저는 Satsuma HP2, Amplitude syst?mes 이다. LIPSS 패턴을 가지는 기판 위에는 유기반도체 물질인 pentacene을 50 nm로 열 증착방법을 통해 박막을 형성하여 유기박막트랜지스터를 제작하였고, hole mobility를 측정하였다. LIPSS 패턴을 가지는 실리콘 기판과 pristine 실리콘 기판 위의 pentacene의 morphology를 AFM으로 관찰하고 유도된 구조를 연구하였다.
