A series of Pt-based ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts promoted with several alkali and alkaline earth metals were prepared by a wet impregnation method. We confirmed that the addition of Na to $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ could cause a change in the oxidation state of Pt through an electronegative gap between Pt and Na atom, and increase the ratio of the metallic Pt. The metallic Pt species made by adding an optimum Na content improved the adsorption of NO species on the catalyst surface and restrained the oxidation of $CH_4$ to $CO_2$. When molar ratio of Na/Pt was 4.0, the highest catalytic activity could be obtained.

PMO expressions for ${\pi}^{\ast}$-${\pi}^{\ast}$ orbital interaction have been derived. Important differences between ${\pi}$-${\pi}$ and ${\pi}^{\ast}$-${\pi}^{\ast}$ interactions predicted by PMO expressions are : (ⅰ) energy splitting in ${\pi}^{\ast}$-${\pi}^{\ast}$ interaction will be greater than that in ${\pi}$-${\pi}$ interaction, (ⅱ) energy change due to interaction will be more destabilizing in ${\pi}^{\ast}$-${\pi}^{\ast}$ than in ${\pi}$-${\pi}$ interaction. These predictions were borne out in experimental data and in results of MO theoretical computations. It was pointed out that both STeO-3G and INDO-LCBO methods underestimate ${\pi}^{\ast}$-${\pi}^{\ast}$ orbital interaction and in order to estimate properly with MO theoretical calculation, use of split valence basis set is required.

감정인식 기술은 인간과 인공지능이 감정적인 상호작용을 위하여 매우 중요한 기술이다. 얼굴영상 기반의 감정인식 연구는 가장 널리 진행되어 왔으나 우리는 표정에서 드러나지 않는 내면의 감정을 인식하기 위하여 뇌전도를 이용한 감정인식 기법을 제안한다. 먼저 2 초 구간의 뇌전도 신호에 대하여 time, frequency, time-frequency 영역에서 특징점을 추출하고 이를 3 개의 fully connected layer 로 구성되어 있는 regressor 를 이용하여 valence 정보를 추정한다. MAHNOB-HCI 데이터세트에 대한 실험결과에서 제안기법은 종래기법보다 낮은 오차를 보이며 감정의 변화를 실시간으로 인식하는 결과를 보인다.

We studied on the visible emission of Cu-ion-doped perovskite hafnate $SrHfO_3$ (SHO:Cu) with the photo-excitation energy dependence. The polycrystalline SHO:Cu samples were newly synthesized in the solid state reaction method. From the X-ray diffraction measurement it was found that the crystalline structure of SHO:Cu is nearly identical to that of undoped $SrHfO_3$. Interestingly, the photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra change significantly with the emission energy, which is linked to the strong dependence of the visible emission on the photo-excitation energy. This unusual emission behavior is likely to be associated with the mixed valence states of the doped Cu ions, which were revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We compared our finding of tunable visible emission in the SHO:Cu compounds with the cases of similar materials, $SrTiO_3$ and $SrZrO_3$ with Cu-ion-doping.

The immediate early gene c-fos has long been known as a molecular marker of neural activity. The neuron's activity is transformed into intracellular calcium influx through NMDA receptors and L-type voltage sensitive calcium channels. For the transcription of c-fos, neural activity should be strong enough to activate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway which shows low calcium sensitivity. Upon translation, the auto-inhibition by Fos protein regulates basal Fos expression. The pattern of external stimuli and the valence of the stimulus to the animal change Fos signal, thus the signal reflects learning and memory aspects. Understanding the features of multiple components regulating Fos signaling is necessary for the optimal generation and interpretation of Fos signal.

Charge transfer mechanism of poly(4,4'-aminotriphenylene hexafluoroisopropylidenediphthalimide) (TP6F PI) which exhibits bistable ON and OFF switching has been studied using photoemission electron spectroscopy (PES) and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). Here, we demonstrate novel set-up in which holes are injected by photoemission process instead of direct charge carrier injection via metal electrode. The accumulated charges on the PI surface in the OFF state abruptly flow across the PI film when the bias voltage of a back electrode reaches a specific value, indicating that the film is changed to the ON state. Core level and x-ray absorption spectra probed at charge injection region via photoemission process do not show any evidences implying structural modification of TP6F PI during the phase change. Whereas, in valence band spectra, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is shifted toward Fermi level, responsible for improved hole-mobility of TP6F PI of ON state.

Normal mode calculations about the extended double six ring (D6R) subunit cluster model of Faujasite-type zeolites have been done by using the valence force field with reasonably adjusted force constants. We have studied for four X, Y zeolites species varying in M$_{f}$(Al/Si + Al) values. The calculated characteristic frequencies of D6R mode (${\nu}_{D_{6}R}$) and the rate of change of ${\nu}_{D_{6}R}$ with the mole fractions of aluminum, M$_{f}$ (Al/Si + Al) values agree well with Flanigen's experimental data; the experimental slope is -79 cm$^{-1}$, while the calculated slope is -82 cm$^{-1}$. Those are the improved results as compared to Blackwell's theoretical study; his predicted slope is -94 cm$^{-1}$.

A monolayer assembly of anthracene-viologen linked thiol ($AMVC_{8}SH$) was fabricated on a gold electrode by self-assembly method. Structural property of the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was carried out by optical and electrochemical method. Firstly, we investigated PL spectrum and UV/visible absorption for the optical properties in solution state. Secondly, we determined the characteristics of charge transfer in different electrolyte solutions by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). From the data, the PL spectrum and UV/visible absorption were observed and the well-defined shape peaks were nearly equal charges during redox reactions and existed to an excellent linear relationship between the scan rates and existed to currents. The mass change was determined during redox reaction. The mass change behavior of SAMs was not only governed by the mobility of the ion in the viologen but the valence of the ion in the electrolyte solution.

For present investigation Fe/MgO/Fe/Co multilayer stack is grown on Si substrate using e-beam evaporation in ultrahigh vacuum. This stack is irradiated perpendicularly by 120 MeV $Ag^{8+}$ at different fluences ranging from $1{\times}10^{11}$ to $1{\times}10^{13}ions/cm^2$ in high vacuum using 15UD Pelletron Accelerator at Inter University Accelerator Centre, New Delhi. Magnetic measurements carried out on pre and post irradiated stacks show significant changes in the shape of perpendicular hysteresis which is relevant with previous observation of re-orientation of magnetic moment along the direction of ion trajectory. However increase in plane squareness may be due to the modification of interface structure of stacks. X-ray reflectivity measurements show onset of interface roughness and interface mixing. X-ray diffraction measurements carried out using synchrotron radiation shows amorphous nature of MgO and Co layer in the stack. Peak corresponding body centered Fe [JCPDS-06-0696] is observed in X-ray diffraction pattern of pre and post irradiated stacks. Peak broadening shows granular nature of Fe layer. Estimated crystallite size is $22{\pm}1nm$ for pre-irradiated stack. Crystallite size first increases with irradiation then decreases. Structural quality of these stacks was further studied using transmission electron microscopic measurements. Thickness from these measurements are 54, 36, 23, 58 and 3 nm respectively for MgO, Fe, MgO, Fe+Co and Au layers in the stack. These measurements envisage poor crystallinity of different layers. Interfaces are not clear which indicate mixing at interface. With increase fluence mixing and diffusion was increased in the stack. X-ray absorption spectroscopic measurements carried out on these stacks show changes of Fe valence state after irradiation along with change of O(2p)-metal (3d) hybridized state. Valence state change predicts oxide formation at interface which causes enhanced in-plane magnetization.

The early detection of hydrogen gas leaks is crucial because of their high explosion risk. Current oxide-semiconductor-based hydrogen sensors are reliant on electrical circuits that may fail during accidents and require high temperatures, thereby raising safety concerns. Thus, there is an urgent need for the development of simpler and more intuitive sensors that can operate at room temperature. This study proposed a hydrogen sensor based on Pd-MoO₃ nanowires. The sensor exhibited a visible color change upon exposure to hydrogen at room temperature. The Pd-MoO₃ nanowires were synthesized by decorating the surface of hydrothermally produced MoO₃ nanowires with 1-5 wt.% Pd. Upon exposure to 5% hydrogen gas at room temperature, all Pd-MoO₃ nanowires exhibited distinct color changes (∆E). In particular, the MoO₃ nanowires with 3 wt.% Pd (3Pd-MoO₃) yielded an exceptionally high ∆E value of over 15 within 10 min. Further, the 3Pd-MoO₃ nanowires exhibited a noticeable color change (∆E > 1.6) within 2 min, demonstrating their potential for highly sensitive and rapid hydrogen detection. The outstanding color change of the 3Pd-MoO₃ nanowires was attributed to valence changes in both Mo (Mo⁶⁺ and Mo⁵⁺) and Pd (Pd²⁺ and Pd⁰) upon exposure to hydrogen.
