Ru-C nano-composite films were prepared by MOCVD, and their microstructures and their electrode properties for oxygen gas sensors were investigated. Deposited films contained Ru particles of 5-20 nm in diameter dispersed in amorphous C matrix. The AC conductivities associating to the interface charge transfer between Ru-C composite electrode and YSZ electrolyte were 100-1000 times higher than that of conventional paste-Pt electrodes. The emf values of the oxygen gas concentration cell constructed from the nano-composite electrodes and YSZ electrolyte showed the Nernstian theoretical values at low temperatures around 500 K. The response time of the concentration cell was 900 s at 500 K.

Variations in soil physical and chemical properties can affect agricultural productivity and the environmental implications of crop production. These variations are present and may be important at regional, field, and sub-field (precision agriculture) scales. Because traditional measurements are time-consuming and expensive, reflectance-based estimates of soil properties such as texture, organic matter content, water content, and nutrient status are attractive. Soil properties have been related to reflectance measured with laboratory, in-field, airborne, and satellite sensors. Both multispectral and hyperspectral instruments have been used, with both natural and artificial illumination. Varying levels of accuracy have been obtained, with the best results (r > 0.95) using hyperspectral reflectance data to estimate soil organic matter and water content.

Relationship between reflection resonance and applied current density in Bragg photonic crystal has been investigated. Multiple bit encodes of distributed Bragg reflector features have been prepared by electrochemical etching of crystalline silicon by using various square wave current densities. Optical characterization of multi-encoding of distributed Bragg reflectors on porous silicon was achieved by Ocean optics 2000 spectrometer for the search of possible applications of multiple bit encoding of distributed Bragg reflectors such as multiplexed assays and chemical sensors. The morphology and cross-sectional structure of multi-encoded distributed Bragg reflectors was investigated by field emission scanning electron micrograph.

With advances in olfactory sensor technologies, the number of reports on various intelligent applications using multiple sensors (sensor arrays) are continuously increasing for fields such as medicine, environment, security, etc. For intelligent and point-of-care applications, it is not only important for the sensor technology to perform chemical or physical measurements rapidly and accurately, but it is also important for artificial intelligence technology to recognize and quantify specific chemicals or diagnose diseases such as lung cancer and diabetes. In particular, great advances in pattern recognition technologies, including deep learning algorithms, as well as sensor array technologies, are expected to enhance the potential of various types of olfactory intelligence applications, including early cancer diagnosis, drug seeking, military operations, and air pollution monitoring.

Photocurable hydrogels are widely used as 3D printing materials in tissue engineering (e.g., scaffold fabrication) as well as optical fibers (or optical sensors) materials. Photocurable hydrogels can control optical and mechanical properties such as chemical or fabrication conditions. In previous research, we introduced a new 3D printing method to fabricate a freestanding overhanging hydrogel structure without supporting structure. This study was measured and analyzed the difference of the mechanical properties of the photocurable hydrogel according to the light intensity using a micro tensile tester. In practically, it was difficult to perform a direct tensile test on a micro (less than 1 mm) size fiber. In this study, the tensile test of the hydrogel fibers could be measured simply and repeatedly using a paper carrier.

Recently, several studies on the development of superhydrophobic surfaces using various nano-sized carbon-based materials have been conducted. The superhydrophobic surfaces developed using carbon soot have advantages such as low processing cost and remarkable physical and chemical properties. However, their durability is low. To address this problem, in this study, a superhydrophobic surface with high durability and a multilayer structure was fabricated using ethanol vapor treatment. Candle soot was deposited on an aluminum substrate coated with paraffin wax, and a micro-nano multilayer structure with a size of several micrometers was fabricated via ethanol vapor treatment. The fabricated superhydrophobic surface was confirmed to have a contact angle of at least 156° and high durability. Finally, it was confirmed that ethanol vapor not only changed the nanostructure of carbon but also affected the durability of the structure.

Tin dioxide (SnO2) thin film is one of the most important n-type semiconducting materials having a high transparency and chemical stability. Due to their favorable properties, it has been widely used as a base materials in the transparent conducting substrates, gas sensors, and other various electronic applications. Up to now, SnO2 thin film has been extensively studied by a various deposition techniques such as RF magnetron sputtering, sol-gel process, a solution process, pulsed laser deposition (PLD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and atomic layer deposition (ALD) [1-6]. Among them, ALD or plasma-enhanced ALD (PEALD) has recently been focused in diverse applications due to its inherent capability for nanotechnologies. SnO2 thin films can be prepared by ALD or PEALD using halide precursors or using various metal-organic (MO) precursors. In the literature, there are many reports on the ALD and PEALD processes for depositing SnO2 thin films using MO precursors [7-8]. However, only ALD-SnO2 processes has been reported for halide precursors and PEALD-SnO2 process has not been reported yet. Herein, therefore, we report the first PEALD process of SnO2 thin films using SnCl4 and oxygen plasma. In this work, the growth kinetics of PEALD-SnO2 as well as their physical and chemical properties were systemically investigated. Moreover, some promising applications of this process will be shown at the end of presentation.

열산화시킨 실리콘 웨이퍼 위에 저압화학기상성장법으로 $SiCl_{2}H_{2}$, $NH_{3}$ 및 $N_{2}O$ 기체를 사용하여 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드($Si_{x}O_{y}N_{z}$) 층을 제작하였다. 세 가지의 다른 조성이 기체 유속비($NH_{3}/N_{2}O$)를 각기 0.2, 0.5 및 2로 변화시키고 $SiCl_{2}H_{2}$의 기체 유속은 고정시킴으로써 얻어졌다. 엘립소메트리와 HFCV(High Frequency Capacitance-Voltage) 측정법을 채택하여 굴절율, 유전율 및 조성의 차이를 각각 조사했다. 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드는 내부에 포함된 실리콘 나이트라이드 성분량에 관계없이 용액 중에서 순수한 실리콘 나이트라이드와 유사한 안정성을 보유했다. 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 층 알칼리이온 감지성의 크기 순서는 실리콘 나이트라이드 성분량에 영향을 받았다. 보다 나은 알칼리이온 감지성이 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드의 벌크 내에 있는 실리콘 디옥시드의 성분량을 증가시킴으로써 얻어졌다.

탄소나노튜브는 1차원의 구조에 기인하는 우수한 물리적, 전기적 특성으로 인해 다양한 분야에 응용 가능한 물질로 각광받고 있다. 특히, 수직 정렬된 단일벽 탄소나노튜브의 합성은 향상된 특성들을 기대할 수 있으며 다양한 분야로 활용가능하다. 본 연구에서는 열 화학기상증착법을 이용하여 합성과정에서 촉매층의 두께, 아세틸렌 가스의 주입량, 합성온도의 변화가 탄소나 노튜브의 길이와 직경에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 또한 위와 같은 조건에서의 촉매의 구조변화에 초점을 두어 이러한 현상을 이해하고자 하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 합성조건을 최적화하여 수백 ${\mu}m$ 길이의 결정성이 우수한 수직 정렬된 단일벽 탄소나노튜브를 합성하였다.
