  • Vertically aligned arrays of mm-long multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on Si substrates have been synthesized by water-assisted thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The growth of CNTs was investigated by changing the experimental parameters such as growth temperature, growth time, gas composition, annealing time, catalyst thickness, and Al underlayer thickness. The 0.5-nm-thick Fe served as catalyst, underneath which Al was coated as a catalyst support as well as a diffusion barrier on the Si substrate. We grew CNTs by adding a little amount of water vapor to enhance the activity and the lifetime of the catalyst. Al was very good at producing the nm-size catalyst particles by preventing "Ostwald ripening". The Al underlayer was varied over the range of 15~40 nm in thickness. The optimum conditions for the synthesis parameters were as follows: pressure of 95 torr, growth temperature of $815^{\circ}C$, growth for 30 min, 60 sccm Ar + 60 sccm $H_2$ + 20 sccm $C_2H_2$. The water vapor also had a great effect on the growth of CNTs. CNTs grew 5.03 mm long for 30 min with the water vapor added while CNTs were 1.73 mm long without water vapor at the same condition. As-grown CNTs were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and Raman spectroscopy. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy showed that the as-grown CNTs were of ~3 graphitic walls and ~6.6 nm in diameter.

  • 본 논문에서는 축 방향으로 자화된 용량결합형 13.65 MHz/40 KHz RF 방전에서 Langmuir Probe, Emissive Probe를 통해 이온 전류 밀도, 전자 온도, 플라즈마 전위의 자장 의존성 및 자기 바이어스 전위를 조사하였다. 자장을 인가함으로서 실험변수 범위 내에서 최대 3배의 이온 전류밀도증가를 얻었고 점화가능한 기체 압력의 최저값을 줄일 수 있었다. 플라즈마가 자화된 경우 공간 전위는 평균적으로 감소하였고 RF 전압의 한주기 동안 시 변동폭이 크게 증가하였다. 플라즈마 전위의 자장 의존성은 Particle-in-Cell Simulation을 수행하여 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 대표적 실험 조건에서 전자 온도는 자장에 따라 약 4 eV에서 5 eV로 약간 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 방전 주파수를 40 KHz로 줄인 경우 1.8 eV에서 0.8 eV로 감소하였다. 실험 장치의 응용 예로서 플루오로 카본 가스에 의한 식각실험이 수행되었다. 자화 플라즈마의 산화막 식각속도 증가를 확인함으로서 축방향 자장이 실제 공정에 긍정정인 영향을 미침을 확인 할 수 있었다.

  • A space plasma facility has been operated with a back-diffusion-type plasma source installed in a mid-sized vacuum chamber with a diameter of ~1.5 m located in Satellite Technology Research Center (SaTReC), Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). To generate plasma with a temperature and density similar to the ionospheric plasma, nickel wires coated with carbonate solution were used as filaments that emit thermal electrons, and the accelerated thermal electrons emitted from the heated wires collide with the neutral gas to form plasma inside the chamber. By using a disk-type Langmuir probe installed inside the vacuum chamber, the generation of plasma similar to the space environment was validated. The characteristics of the plasma according to the grid and plate anode voltages were investigated. The grid voltage of the plasma source is realized as a suitable parameter for manipulating the electron density, while the plate voltage is suitable for adjusting the electron temperature. A simple physical model based on the collision cross-section of electron impact on nitrogen molecule was established to explain the plasma generation mechanism.

  • This study investigates the mechanism of MnS precipitation on $Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ inclusions during the solidification of non-oriented silicon steel, especially the influence of the phase structures and sizes of the oxides on the MnS precipitation, by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectrometry. The investigation results show that MnS tends to nucleate on submicron-sized $Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ inclusions formed by interdendritic segregation and that it covers the oxides completely. In addition, MnS can precipitate on micron-sized oxides and its precipitation behavior is governed by the phase structure of the oxides. The MnS embryo formed in a MnO-containing oxide can act as a substrate for MnS precipitation, thus permitting further growth via diffusion of solute atoms from the matrix. MnS also precipitates in a MnO-free oxide by the heterogeneous nucleation mechanism. Furthermore, MnS is less prone to precipitation in the $Al_2O_3$-rich regions of the $Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ inclusions; this can be explained by the high lattice disregistry between MnS and $Al_2O_3$.

  • 친수성 기판과 소수성 그래핀(graphene) 계면에서의 물의 확산 현상은 호기심을 자극할 뿐만 아니라 그래핀 소자의 특성을 좌우하는 전하도핑(charge doping) 현상을 이해하는데 중요한 모델이 된다. 본 연구에서는 라만 분광법을 이용하여 그래핀/$SiO_2$ 계면에서의 물의 확산 현상을 탐구하였다. 열처리된 그래핀은 기판과의 상호작용에 의해 높은 밀도의 정공(electron hole)으로 도핑되어 있기 때문에, 물이 계면을 통해 확산하게 되면 정공의 밀도를 감소시킬 수 있게 된다. 본 실험에서는 이차원 라만 분광법을 통해 물 속에 담겨진 그래핀의 정공 밀도의 공간적인 분포를 확산 시간에 따라 조사하였다. 물의 확산은 시료에 따라 수 시간에서 수 일의 시간대에 걸쳐 그래핀 가장자리에서 중앙으로 이루어진다는 사실을 확인하였다. 또한 물의 계면확산으로 인해서 전하 밀도가 감소한다는 사실은 열처리된 그래핀의 정공 도핑을 유발하는 산소가 그래핀/$SiO_2$ 계면에 존재한다는 것을 증명한다.

  • Clusters of galaxies are storage rooms of cosmic rays. They confine the hadronic component of cosmic rays over cosmological time scales due to diffusion, and the electron component due to energy losses. Hadronic cosmic rays can be accelerated during the process of structure formation, because of the supersonic motion of gas in the potential wells created by dark matter. At the shock waves that result from this motion, charged particles can be energized through the first order Fermi process. After discussing the most important evidences for non-thermal phenomena in large scale structures, we describe in some detail the main issues related to the acceleration of particles at these shock waves, emphasizing the possible role of the dynamical backreaction of the accelerated particles on the plasmas involved.

  • The electrochemical behaviors of estrone in the presence of various surfactants were examined with great details. It is found that a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), obviously facilitates the electro-oxidation of estrone at carbon paste electrode (CPE) from the significant peak current enhancement and the negative shift of peak potential. Additionally, chronocoulometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were also used for further investigation of the electrode process of estrone, indicating that low concentration of CTAB exhibits excellent enhancement effects on the electrochemical oxidation of estrone, greatly enhances the diffusion coefficient and the electron transfer rate. Based on this, an electrochemical method was proposed for the determination of estrone. The oxidation peak current is proportional to the concentration of estrone in the ranges over 9.0 × 10?8 - 8.0 × 10?6 mol/L, and a low detection limit of 4.0 × 10?8 mol/L was obtained for 180s accumulation at open circuit (S/N = 3). Finally, this proposed method was demonstrated using estrone tablets with good satisfaction.

  • We have used the modified diffusion flame burner to synthesize silica coated iron oxide nanoparticles having enhanced superparamagnetic property. Silica-encapsulated iron oxide particles were directly observed using a high resolution transmission electron microscope. From the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and zeta potential measurements, the iron oxide particles were found to be completely covered by a silica coating layer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed that the iron oxide core consists of ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ rather than ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$. Our magnetization measurements support this conclusion. Biocompatibility test of the silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles is also conducted using the protein adsorption onto the coated particle.
