  • We investigate the effect of hydrogen on adsorption of hydrocarbon molecules on graphene with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In this study, we calculate the binding energies of hydrogen molecule, carbon atom and other hydrocarbon fragments such as CHx (x=1, 2, 3, 4) on graphene to find the most stable adsorption site. Then, to study the effect of hydrogen, we investigate the adsorption of hydrocarbon fragments in the presence of hydrogen atoms on graphene.

  • The objective of this study was to examine whether there is an association of oral health conditions between mothers and their preschool children in Korea. A sample of 823 preschool children and their mothers were selected for this study from the database of the fourth Korean National Health and Nutrition examination Survey. Preschool children were defined as children aged 4, 5, and 6 years old. The subjects were clinically examined for the presence of caries lesions (dft index) and their mother was checked for the presence of dental caries (DMFT index) and periodontal status (CPI). The socio-demographic characteristics and mother's oral health behaviours were considered covariates in this study. Univariate and multivariate analysis was adapted to assess the association of oral health condition between mothers and their preschool children. In univariate analysis, there were significant differences between preschool children's dft index and their mother's age (p=0.005), dental treatment demand for the past one year (p=0.034), and DMFT index (p=0.016). In multivariate analysis, only mother's DMFT index was significantly associated with their children's dft index after adjusting for covariates. In conclusion, the mother's oral health was partly associated with their preschool children's oral health in Korea.

  • This paper presents a beamforming algorithm for the uplink application of a linear array antenna for WCDMA system. A steering beamforming algorithm is designed using a block DFT algorithm and its performance is analyzed and verified using computer simulations. Various environmental parameters such as the number of antenna elements, the number of users, the mobility of the target user, and the status of fast power control are reflected in the simulation study providing themselves as useful design and implementation guides for the reverse link beamforming of WCDMA system.

  • In this study, we investigate atomic and electronic structure of graphene with substitutional impurities such as boron or nitrogen atom using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. To investigate the effects of substitutional impurities in graphene, we consider a ($6{\times}6$) supercell of graphene in our calculations. For detailed electronic properties of graphene, we compare the energy band structure of B- or N-doped graphene with that of pristine graphene.

  • In this work, we studied the interactions of the complexes of a DNA base inserted between graphene layers through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We find that there exists the negligible energy barrier as well as robust and distinguishable electronic fingerprints during the translocation of the DNA bases. Our result shows that the bilayer graphene can be a possible candidate for the future-generation of DNA sequencing device platform.

  • 본 연구에서는 $Ni_2P$에서의 물의 산화를 Density Functional Theory(DFT) 계산을 이용하여 그 메커니즘을 확인하였다. 기존의 $Ni_2P$ 각 면의 표면 에너지에 관한 연구를 바탕으로 하여 P termination 된 (0001)면을 선택하였고 흡착 에너지를 계산하여 표면에 hydroxide와 oxygen coverage를 결정하였다. 산소 생성반응의 각 단계는 두 개의 site에서 계산되었고 두 site 모두 반응 결정 단계는 $^*OOH$가 형성되는 단계였다. 과전압 값을 비교한 결과 center site가 더 선호됨을 확인하였고 Center site에서 pH=14 일 때의 과전압 값은 0.64 eV으로 계산되었다.

  • In this study, we investigate the electronic and atomic structure of graphene on O-terminated MgO(111) using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. To suggest a possible direction for future band gap engineering of graphene on MgO(111), adsorption of carbon atoms on graphene/MgO(111) is studied by considering the several adsorption sites. Details in adsorption properties of carbon atoms on graphene/MgO(111) are analyzed in terms of energy band structure.
