Copper oxide thin films are deposited using an ultrasonic-assisted spray pyrolysis deposition (SPD) system. To investigate the effect of substrate temperature and incorporation of a chelating agent on the growth of copper oxide thin films, the structural and optical properites of the copper oxide thin films are analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emssion scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. At a temperature of less than $350^{\circ}C$, three-dimensional structures consisting of cube-shaped $Cu_2O$ are formed, while spherical small particles of the CuO phase are formed at a temperature higher than $400^{\circ}C$ due to a Volmer-Weber growth mode on the silicon substrate. As a chelating agent was added to the source solutions, two-dimensional $Cu_2O$ thin films are preferentially deposited at a temperature less than $300^{\circ}C$, and the CuO thin film is formed even at a temperature less than $350^{\circ}C$. Therefore the structure and crystalline phase of the copper oxide is shown to be controllable.

The continuous monolayer graphene was synthesized on electro-polished copper foil. Electro-polishing sticks off the coating layer of copper foil, which prevents the continuous graphene growth. The quality of continuous graphene is dependent on roughness of copper foil. Copper foil roughness could be controlled by changing polishing condition. The effects of working voltage (4-6 V) and time (30-70 sec) for electro-polishing were systematically examined. The change of surface roughness was checked with AFM.

Graphene, a two-dimensional material, has shown great potential in a variety of applications including microelectronics, optoelectronics, and graphene-based batteries due to its excellent electronic conductivity. However, the production of large-area, high-quality graphene remains a challenge. In this study, we investigated graphene growth on electrolytic copper foil using thermochemical vapor deposition (TCVD) to achieve a similar level of quality to the cold-rolled copper substrate at a lower cost. The combined effects of pre-annealing time, graphenized temperature, and partial pressure of hydrogen on graphene coverage and domain size were analyzed and correlated with the roughness and crystallographic texture of the copper substrate. Our results show that controlling the crystallographic texture of copper substrates through annealing is an effective way to improve graphene growth properties, which will potentially lead to more efficient and cost-effective graphene production. At a hydrogen partial pressure that is disadvantageous in graphene growth, electrolytic copper had an average size of 8.039 ㎛², whereas rolled copper had a size of 19.092 ㎛², which was a large difference of 42.1% compared to rolled copper. However, at the proper hydrogen partial pressure, electrolytic copper had an average size of 30.279 ㎛² and rolled copper had a size of 32.378 ㎛², showing a much smaller difference of 93.5% than before. This observation suggests this potentially leads the way for more efficient and cost-effective graphene production.

The effect of graphene growth parameters on the number of graphene layers were systematically studied and growth mechanism on copper substrate was proposed. Parameters that could affect the thickness of graphene growth include the pressure in the system, gas flow rate, growth pressure, growth temperature, and cooling rate. We hypothesis that the partial pressure of both the carbon sources and hydrogen gas in the growth process, which is set by the total pressure and the mole fraction of the feedstock, could be the factor that controls the thickness of the graphene. A synthetic method to produce such large area graphene films with precise thickness from mono- to few-layer would be ideal for chemists and physicists to explore the promising electronic applications of these materials. Here, large-area uniform mono-, bi-, and few-layer graphene films were successfully synthesized on copper surface in selective growth windows, with a finely tuned total pressure and $CH_4$/$H_{2gas}$ ratio. Our findings may facilitate both the large-area synthesis of well-controlled graphene features and wide range of applications of graphene.

Graphene grown on copper-foil substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has been attracting interest for sensor applications due to an extraordinary high surface-to-volume ratio and capability of large-scale device fabrication. However, CVD graphene has a polycrystalline structure and a high density of grain boundaries degrading its electrical properties. Recently, processes such as electropolishing for flattening copper substrate has been applied before growth in order to increase the grain size of graphene. In this study, we systemically analyzed the effects of the process condition of electropolishing copper foil on the quality of CVD graphene. We observed that electropolishing process can reduce surface roughness of copper foil, increase the grain size of CVD graphene, and minimize the density of double-layered graphene regions. However, excessive process time can rather increase the copper foil surface roughness and degrade the quality of CVD graphene layers. This work shows that an optimized electropolishing process on copper substrates is critical to obtain high-quality and uniformity CVD graphene which is essential for practical sensor applications.

벼의 종자배양에서 식물체 재분화 능력을 향상시키기 위하여 2 mg/L의 2,4-D와 여러 가지 농도의 copper (0~5.0mg/L)가 첨가된 MS배지에 종자배양 한 바 캘러스 생장정도는 copper 농도에 따라 다르게 나타났는데 특히, 2.5 mg/L의 copper가 첨가된 배지에서 가장 양호하였다. 그리고 캘러스 형성률과 copper 농도 간에는 유의성 있는 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 식물체 재분화 배지에 2.5 mg/L의 copper의 첨가는 Indica 품종들의 식물체 재분화 효율을 크게 향상시켰다. Copper가 첨가되지 않은 N$_{6}$배지에서 Indica 6품종의 평균재분화율은 2.4%이었으나, copper가 첨가된 배지에서 27.4%로 높게 나타났다.

We study and analyze here a novel and simple approach to produce copper oxide nanowires in a methanol as an alternative to chemical synthesis routs and VLS-growth method. First, copper oxide nanowires are grown from copper nanoparticles in methanol at $60^{\circ}C$. Nanoparticles are synthesized via inert gas condensation, one of the dry processes. Synthesized nanowires were confirmed via XRD, FESEM and TEM. As a result, all particles have grown to Cu2O nanowires (20~30 nm in diameter, 5~10 um in length; aspect ratio >160~500). Next, these synthesized oxide nanowires are reduced copper nanowires in the furnace under hydrogen flow at $200{\sim}450^{\circ}C$. The evolution of oxide nanowires and their transformation to copper nanowires is studied as a function of time.

The in vitro cytotoxic effects of newly synthesized copper (II) glycinate complex were investigated in two gastric cancer cell lines of SNU484 and SNU638 cells. The complex inhibited the growth and decreased the viability of both gastric cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. Gastric cancer tells treated with the complex exhibited the features of apoptosis, as demonstrated by fragmentation of chromosomal DNA, activation of caspase-3-like enzyme, and cleavage of poly［ADP-ribose］ polymerase (PARP). With the treatment of copper (II) glycinate complex, the active form of caspase-3 was observed in SNU484 cells, but not in SNU638 cells, indicating that an alternative pathway of apoptosis might have been triggered in SNU638 cells. In conclusion, copper (II) glycinate complex induces apoptosis of SNU484 and SNU638 gastric cancer cells, and it is suggested that novel copper (II) glycinate complex is highly active against human gastric cancer cells.
