In the present study, formation of yard and shell has been investigated in as-melt-spun $Gd_{30}Ti_{25}Al_{25}Co_{20}$ alloy using a variety of transmission electron microscopy techniques. The phase separation during cooling leads to the formation of the microstructure consisting of amorphous droplets with different size scales embedded in the amorphous matrix. Due to the interdiffusion at the interface after the first-step phase separation, ~50 nm-thick yard develops on the surface of the primary droplet particle. Due to the critical wetting phenomenon, ~5 nm thickness shell enveloping the droplet forms. The sell is enriched in Co and Ti, implying that the composition is close to that of the droplet.

Off-axis magnetron sputtering was used for the crystallized ITO thin films deposition at various temperatures from 25 to $120^{\circ}C$. The ITO thin films were crystallized at $50^{\circ}C$ for Si (001) substrates and at $75^{\circ}C$ for PET substrate. The ITO thin films grown onto PET substrate at $120^{\circ}C$ were crystallized with a (222) preferred orientation. The 160-nm thick ITO films showed a resistivity of about $7{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and a transmittance of about 84% at a wavelength of 550 nm. Off-axis sputtering can be applied for low temperature crystallization of the ITO films.

In this study, we performed the deposition of Al thin film using a DC magnetron sputtering method. To evaluate electrical and structural properties, the growth conditions were changed in terms of two functions, namely, sputtering power ranging from 41.6 to 216 W and film growth rate ranging from 5.35 to 26.39 nm/min. The growth rate and the microstructure were characterized by a scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The plane of crystalline growth showed that the preferential (111) direction and defects due to the grain boundary increased with DC power. The resistivity of the Al film over 50 nm showed a constant value by horizontal grain growth. Our results can be applicable for the preparation of nano-templates for anodic aluminum oxide.

A new unipolar aerosol charger was developed by using an indirect photoelectric charging. The charger consists of two coaxial tubes, the inner UV lamp wrapped with stainless mesh and the outer Al cylinder. In this study, the effects of flow rate, particle size, and electric field were examined to search the optimal charging conditions with experimental and numerical methods. Monodisperse NaCl particles were fed into an annular space and the particles were charged by negative ions generated from Al plate exposed to the UV light. According to experimental results, the average number of elementary charge on particles increases from 2.5 to 5.5 as particle size increases from 50nm to 130nm at 2.5 L/min and 100V. The average number of elementary charge on particles was maximized at 25V as the electric potential between the stainless mesh and Al plate was varied from 0V to 400V.

The symmetric benzoxazolo carbocyanine is of industrial importance as green-sensitizing dye in the spectral sensitization of emulsion microcrystals in positive paper and negative film-making. The stability on the solvents of benzoxazolo carbocyanine dye was measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and then all of solvents were stabilized sensitizer. The maximum absorption peak range in methanol, acetonitrile, acetone, DMF, dichloromethane, chloroform solvents was $501nm{\sim}511nm$. But it was identified that only methanol can be used to photographic emulsion. The photographic characteristics have contrast of 2.8, speed of 50-55$(lux{\cdot}sec)^{-1}$, fog of 0.07-0.08, respectively.

Ultrafine TaC powders were synthesised by spray drying using tantalum oxalate solution. The spray dried powders were spherical shape and less than 30 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in size. The powders calcined at 500 and X$700^{\circ}C$ showed amorphous structures and $Ta_2$$O_{5}$ phase was obtained by calcining at $700^{\circ}C$. The particle size and shape remains constant after calcination. The calcined spherical powders were composed of an agglomerate of primary particles under 50 nm in size. The complete formation of TaC could be achieved by heat treatment at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 6 hrs. The observed size of TaC powders by TEM was less than 200 nm.

In this study, our varistors based on M.Matsuoke's composition were fabricated with ZnO nano-powder whose sizes were 50nm and 100nm. Electrical properties of ZnO nano-powder varistors were obtained by capacitance-voltage and frequency-real impedance. nano-powder varistors are indicated the change of the interface defects density $N_t$ at the grain boundaries and the donor concentration $N_d$ in the ZnO grains. Frequency analysis was accomplished to understand the equivalent circuit.

In this study. we report the properties of optically pumped stimulated emission at room temperature (RT) from column-III nitride semiconductors of GaN, GaInN, AlGaN/GaN double hetero-structure (DH) and AlGaN/GaInN DH which grown by low pressure metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy on sapphire substrate using an AIN buffer-layer. The peak wavelength of the stimulated emission at RT from AlGaN/GaN DH is 370nm and the threshold of excitation pumping power density (P$\_$th/) is about 89㎾/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and they from AlGaN/GaInN DH are 403nm and 130㎾/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively. The P$\_$th/ of AlGaN/GaN and AlGaN/GaInN DHs are lower than the bulk materials due to optical confinement within the active layers of GaN and GaInN. The optical gain and the polarization of stimulated emission characteristics are presented in this article.

We prepared the Au-coated $TiO_2$ (Au/$TiO_2$) nanoparticles by deposition-precipitation (DP) method with and without bases (urea or NaOH) and investigated the effects of pH on the preparation of Au/$TiO_2$ nanoparticles for various kinds of bases. For the DP method without bases, the Au nanoparticles in the diameter of about 50 nm were generated in the solution by the reduction reaction with trisodium citrate and they did not deposit on the surface of $TiO_2$. For the DP method with bases, Au precursors deposited on the surface of $TiO_2$ and then reduced to the Au nanoparticles in the diameter of 4-5 nm on the surface of $TiO_2$ by the reaction with trisodium citrate.

Solvatochromic fluorescence behavior of 8-aminoquinoline based benzothiazole derivative in varying solvent systems has been investigated. Benzothiazole appended 8-aminoquinoline 3 showed distinctive fluorescence color changes depending upon the solvent polarities and the fluorescence color changes occurred over relatively wide span in visible region from 486 nm to 598 nm which can be detected with naked eye. Compound 3 also exhibited significant spectral shifts in ${\lambda}_{em}$ as a function of water composition in binary aqueous solvent systems. The changes are due to the specific interaction of 3 by hydrogen bonding with water as well as general solvent effect. The observed solvatochromic fluorescence characteristics of 3 could be used as a new probe for the micro-environmental polarity changes as well as a sensitive sensor for the determination of water composition in binary aqueous solutions.
