  • Dielectric relaxation measurements on 3-nitrotoluene (3-NT) mixture of dimethylacetamide (DMA), dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethysulphoxide (DMSO) have been carried out across the entire concentration range using Time domain reflectometry technique at 15, 25, 35 and $45^{\circ}C$ over the frequency range from 10 MHz to 20 GHz. For all the mixtures, only one dielectric loss peak was observed in this frequency range and the relaxation in these mixtures can be well described by a single relaxation time using Debye model. Bilinear calibration method is used to obtain complex permittivity ${\varepsilon}^{*}({\omega})$ from complex reflection coefficient ${\rho}^{*}({\omega})$ over frequency range 10 MHz to 20 GHz. The excess permittivity, excess inverse relaxation time, Kirkwood correlation factor, molar energy of activation are also calculated for these mixtures to study the solute-solvent interaction.

  • The analogy between spin configurations in spin ice materials like $Ho_2Ti_2O_7$ and proton configurations in water ice, $H_2O$, has been appreciated for many years (see Bramwell and Gingras, Science, 294, 1495, 2001). However it is only in the last few years that this equivalence has been extended into the realm of electrodynamics. In this talk I shall describe our recent experimental work that identifies magnetic charges ("monopoles"), transient magnetic currents ("magnetricity") and the universal properties expected of an ideal magnetic Coulomb gas (magnetic electrolyte - "magnetolyte"). These universal properties include the Onsager-Wien effect, "corresponding states" behaviour, Debye-Huckel screening and Bjerrum pairing. I will describe experimental results for both traditional spin ice materials ($Ho_2Ti_2O_7$, $Dy_2Ti_2O_7$) and a recently discovered system ($Dy_2Ge_2O_7$).

  • A field-effect transistor (FET) is one of the most commonly used semiconductor devices. Recently, increasing interest has been given to FET-based biosensors owing totheir outstanding benefits, which are likely to include a greater signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), fast measurement capabilities, and compact or portable instrumentation. Thus far, a number of FET-based biosensors have been developed to study biomolecular interactions, which are the key drivers of biological responses in in vitro or in vivo systems. In this review, the detection principles and characteristics of FET devices are described. In addition, biological applications of FET-type biosensors and the Debye length limitation are discussed.

  • Nanostructured ZnS thin films were grown on the slide glass substrate by the chemical bath deposition using an aqueous so1ution Of ZnSO$_4$and CH$_3$CSNH$_2$at 95$^{\circ}C$. The average grain sizes of the ZnS thin film estimating from the Debye-Scherrer formula are 4.8 nm. The optical transmittance edge of the ZnS thin films (4.0 eV) was shifted to the shelter wavelength compared with that of the bulk ZnS (3.67 eV) due to the quantum size effects. The ZnS thin films showed a strong photoluminescence intensity and a sharp emission band from 410 to 480 nm 3t room temperature. The PWHM of photoluminescence peak was about 40 nm. For the viloet(410 nm) and blue(480 nm) emission of the ZnS thin films, the temperature dependence can be described by an Arrhenius equation with an activation energy of 168 and 157 meV, respectively.

  • We have investigated the microstructural properties of a weakly charged polyelectrolyte modeled with both Hookean spring and Debye-Huckel potential, by employing a novel hybrid scheme of molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Although the off-lattice pivot step facilitates the earlier computations stage, it gives rise to oscillations and hinders the stable equilibrium state. In order to overcome this problem, we adopt the MC off-lattice pivot step in early stage only, and then switch the computation to a pure MD step. The result shows that the computational speed-up compared to the previous method is entirely above 10 to 50, without loss of the accuracy. We examined the conformations of polyelectrolyte in solvents in terms of the end-to-end distance, radius of gyration, and structure factor with variations of the screening effects of solvent and the monomer charges. The emphasis can favorably be given on the elongation behavior of a polyelectrolyte chain, with observing the simultaneous snapshots.

  • For more than four decades, ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) sensors that respond to the change of surface potential on a membrane have been intensively investigated in the chemical, environmental, and biological spheres, because of their potential, in particular their compatibility with CMOS manufacturing technology. Here, we demonstrate a new type of ISFET with dual-gate (DG) structure fabricated on ultra-thin body (UTB), which highly boosts sensitivity, as well as enhancing chemical stability. The classic ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) has been confronted with chronic problems; the Nernstian response, and detection limit with in the Debye length. The super-coupling effects imposed on the ultra thin film serve to not only maximize sensitivity of the DG ISFET, but also to strongly suppress its leakage currents, leading to a better chemical stability. This geometry will allow the ISFET based biosensor platform to continue enhancement into the next decade.

  • 전자현미분석외에 금-은 고용체의 금 또는 은 성분을 결정할 수 있는 간편하고도 신뢰성 높은 측정법 개발은 응용 광물학자들에게 오랜 연구과제가 되어 왔다. 이를 달성하기 위한 방법으로 정량적으로 측정할 수 있는 단위포 상수, 반사도, 비중, 미경도 측정연구를 실시하였다. 이 실험을 위해 순수한 원소 금과 은을 5 at.% 간격으로 혼합하여 시료를 제작한 후 석영관을 사용하여 진공하에서 밀봉하였다. 고온에서 가열하여 용융시킨 후 서냉하여 얻어진 반응물을 각종 현미경, X 선 회절분석기, 전자현미분석기, 반사도측정기, 비중저울, 미경도측정기를 사용하여 분석하였다. 직경이 114.6 nm 인 Debye-Scherrer 카메라를 사용해 얻은 X 선분말회절자료로 계산한 단위포 상수의 크기는 은함량이 증가함에 따라 일정하게 증가한다. 반사도 측정에는 480nm와 546nm 두파장을 사용하였는데 두 파장 모두에 대해 은 함량이 증가할수록 반사도가 증가한다. 또한 480nm를 사용했을 때의 반사도 변화가 현저하므로 유용하다. 비중은 은 함량이 증가할수록 오히려 일정하게 감소한다. 한편, 25g과 50g 추를 사용하여 측정한 미경도 값은 금-은고용체내의 성분변화에 관계없이 불규칙하게 변하여 어떤 경향을 나타내지 않는다.

  • The significant structure theory of liquids has been successfully applied to the sodium ammonia solution. In applying the theory to sodium ammonia solution, we assumed there were four species in solution, i.e., sodium cation, solvated electron, triple ion, and free electron and equilibria existed between them. Based on these assumptions, we set up the model explaining the anomalous properties of sodium ammonia solution. The partition function for sodium ammonia solution is composed of the partition functions for the above four species and also for the Debye-Huckel excess free energy term. Agreements between calculated and experimental values of the thermodynamic quantities, such as molar volume, vapor pressure, partial molar enthalpy and entropy, and chemical potential as well as viscosity are quite satisfactory.

  • Frequency spectra of the complex permittivity of 2-methoxyethanol (2-ME) with water, ethanol, dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and N,N-dimethylacatamide (DMA) have been determined over the frequency range of 10 MHz to 20 GHz at 25 $^{\circ}C$, using the Time domain reflectometry method, for 11 concentrations for each system. The static dielectric constant, dielectric constant at microwave frequency, relaxation time, excess dielectric parameters, and Kirkwood correlation factor have been determined. The relaxation in these systems within the frequency range can be described by a single relaxation time constant, using the Debye model. The parameters show a systematic change with the concentration.
