DC magnetron sputtering 법으로 다양한 $Ga_2O_3$함량비( $2.27{\sim}$ 10.81 wt%)를 가진 고밀도 GZO 소결타겟을 사용하여 GZO박막을 증착한 후 도핑농도에 따른 광학적 특성과 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. GZO($Ga_2O_3$: 6.65 wt%)타겟을 사용하여 기판온도 $300^{\circ}C$에서 증착한 GZO박막은 상대적으로 낮은 비저항($5.1{\times}10^{-4}$ ${\Omega}cm$)과 85% 이상의 높은 투과율을 보였다. 또한 타겟의 $Ga_2O_3$함량이 6.65 wt%일때 광학적 밴드갭 에너지는 3.61 eV로 비교적 큰 흡수계수의 변화를 보였으며 그 이상의 $Ga_2O_3$농도에서는 밴드갭 에너지가 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

Plant growth retardants reduce the plant height by inhibiting stem elongation in Lilium davuricum. To investigate the plant hormones related to stem elongation, we sprayed 50 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ diniconazole to young plants of L. davuricum and quantified the contents of endogenous gibberellic acids (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA). In GA biosynthesis, L. davuricum had not only the early C-13 hydroxylation ($GA_{19}{\rightarrow}GA_{20}{\rightarrow}GA_1$) pathway resulting in $GA_1$ as the active form but also the non C-13 hydroxylation (NCH, $GA_{12}{\rightarrow}GA_{24}{\rightarrow}GA_9{\rightarrow}GA_4$) with $GA_4$ as the active form. However, the main pathway was NCH because $GA_4$ concentration of 55 $ng{\cdot}g^{-1}$ dry wt was much higher than $GA_1$ content of 0.23 $ng{\cdot}g^{-1}$ dry wt in control plant. Diniconazole inhibited GA biosynthesis through NCH pathway from its early stage. $GA_{12}$ content decreased by diniconazole up to 6% level of that of control and this effect continued to $GA_4$. Diniconazole reduced $GA_{12}$ content by 12.7 $ng{\cdot}g^{-1}$ dry wt, whereas that of control plant was 213.8 $ng{\cdot}g^{-1}$ dry wt. ABA content decreased up to one third of control by diniconazole application. From the contents of endogenous $GA_4$, $GA_1$, and ABA in this study, we could conclude that diniconazole reduces the plant height by inhibiting $GA_4$ biosynthesis in L. davuricum.

최근 광전자 분야에서는 미래 에너지 자원에 대한 관심과 함께 GaN 기반 태양전지 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. GaN 물질은 높은 전자 이동도와 높은 포화 속도 등 광전자 소자에 유리한 광, 전기적 특성들을 가지고 있다. 또한, In의 함량을 변화시켜가며, 0.7eV에서 3.4eV까지 밴드갭을 조절함으로써, 자외선부터 적외선까지 태양빛 스펙트럼의 대부분을 흡수할 수 있는 장점이 있다. InGaN 태양전지의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 In의 함량을 늘려 밴드갭을 줄이는 것이 중요하다. 하지만 GaN 와 InN 간의 격자 부정합으로 인해 In 함량이 높은 단결정 InGaN 층을 두껍게 성장 하는 것이 어렵다. 때문에 GaN 기반 태양전지 관련 연구 그룹들이 태양전지의 효율 향상을 위해 활성층에 양자우물(MQWs) 구조, Supper Lattice (SLs) 구조와 같이 얇은 InGaN/GaN 층을 주기적으로 반복하여 적층함으로써 높은 조성의 In을 함유한 상질의 InGaN/GaN 층을 성장하는 연구들을 진행해 왔다. 본 연구에서는, p-i-n 구조와 MQW 구조를 갖는 InGaN 기반 태양전지를 제작하여, 각각의 특성을 분석해 봄으로써, In0.1Ga0.9N 태양전지 활성층의 구조에 따른 장/단점에 대해 논의하였다. 먼저 MOCVD를 이용하여 200 nm의 i-In0.1Ga0.9N 활성층을 갖는 p-i-n 구조와 In0.19Ga0.81N/GaN(3 nm/8 nm) MQWs (8 periods) 구조를 갖는 태양전지 에피를 각각 성장하였고, 그 후 공정을 통해 그림 1과 같이 InGaN 태양전지 소자를 제작하였다. 그 후, 각 태양전지의 전류/전압 곡선과 외부양자효율을 측정하여 그림 2와 같은 결과를 얻었다. p-i-n과 MQW 샘플의 외부양자효율은 각각 ~70%, ~25%로 측정 되었다. MQW 샘플의 외부 양자효율이 높지 않음에도 불구하고 p-i-n 구조에 비해 높은 In 함량을 가지고 있으므로, 더 넓은 파장의 빛을 흡수하여, 높은 단락전류(0.778 mA/cm2)를 보이고 있다. 또한 p-i-n 구조에 비해 높은 개방전압(2.3V)를 가지고 있으므로, MQW 샘플이 약 17% 정도 높은 변환효율(1.4%)를 보이고 있다. 이후 추가적으로 p-i-n 과 MQW 구조의 InGaN 태양전지에 나타나는 Voc와 Jsc의 차이를 Polarization 효과를 비롯한 다양한 측면에서 분석해 보고자 한다.

$Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (CIGS) is one of the most promising photovoltaic materials because of large conversion efficiency which has been achieved with an optimum Ga/(In+Ga) composition in $CuIn_{1-x}Ga_xSe_2$ (X~0.3). The Ga/(In+Ga) content is important to determine band gap, solar cell performances and carrier behaviors at grain boundary (GB). Effects of Ga/(In+Ga) content on physical properties of the CIGS layers have been extensively studied. In previous research, it is reported that GB is not recombination center of CIGS thin-film solar cells. However, GB recombination and electron-hole pair behavior studies are still lacking, especially influence of with different X on CIGS thin-films. We obtained the GB surface potential, local current and I-V characteristic of different X (00.7 while X~0.3 showed higher potential than 100 mV on GBs. Higher potential on GBs appears positive band bending. It can decrease recombination loss because of carrier separation. Therefore, we suggest recombination and electron-hole behaviors at GBs depending on composition of X.

넓은 밴드갭을 가지고 있어 가시광에서 투명하며 높은 이동도를 가진 산화물 반도체는 기존의 Si 기반 TFT 소자를 대체할 차세대 디스플레이의 핵심 소재기술로 관심이 높아지고 있다. 그러나 대표적인 산화물 반도체인 In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO)에 포함된 인듐의 수요 증가에 따른 가격 급등 문제로 이를 대체할 수 있는 새로운 산화물 반도체 재료에 대한 연구의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이에 비교적 저가의 물질로 구성된 Zn-Sn-O계 산화물 소재에 대한 연구가 진행된 바 있으나, 높은 수준의 캐리어 농도를 가지고 있어 TFT 채널용 반도체소재로 적용되기 위해서는 이를 $10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$ 이하로 조절할 수 있는 기술개발이 요구된다. 본 연구는 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 증착된 Ga-Zn-Sn-O (GZTO) 박막의 갈륨 첨가에 따른 특성변화를 조사하였다. GZO ($Ga_2O_3$ 5wt%)와 $SnO_2$ 타켓의 인가 파워를 고정한 상태에서 $Ga_2O_3$ 타켓의 인가 파워를 0~100W로 조절하여 박막 내 Ga 함량을 증가시켰다. 제조된 모든 GZTO 박막은 Ga함량에 관계없이 비정질 구조를 가지며 가시광 영역에서 약 78%의 우수한 투과율을 나타낸다. Ga 함량에 따라 박막의 구조적, 광학적 특성은 크게 변하지 않지만 전기적 특성은 뚜렷한 변화를 나타냈다. $Ga_2O_3$ 파워가 증가할수록 박막 내 캐리어 농도와 이동도의 감소로 비저항이 크게 증가하는데 특히 캐리어 농도는 $Ga_2O_3$ 파워가 0에서 100W로 증가할 때 $2{\times}10^{18}$에서 $8{\times}10^{14}\;cm^{-3}$으로 감소하였다. 이는 Ga-O의 화학적 결합 에너지가 다른 원소들(Zn 또는 In)에 비해 커서 박막 내 산소공공의 감소가 야기되었기 때문이다. 이러한 전기물성의 변화를 이해하기 위해 XPS 분석을 수행하였다. 제조된 GZTO 박막은 $Ga_2O_3$ 파워가 증가함에 따라 O 1s peak에서 산소공공과 관련된 530.8 eV peak의 intensity가 감소한다. 따라서 Ga을 첨가에 따른 캐리어 농도의 감소는 산소공공의 발생억제로 기인한 것으로 판단되며, 본 연구결과는 ZTO계 비정질 산화물 반도체의 활용가능성을 제시하였다.

This study was performed to investigate the role of phytohormones in the bulbing of garlic in order to assess the yield and quality. The effect on endogenous plant hormones such as gibberellin (GA) content was also examined during growth stage i.e. clove differentiation to bulbing in garlic. More than 18 gibberellins in garlic were identified with extensive gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring (GC-MS-SIM) quantitative analysis. The results showed that GAs were biosynthesized by both non C-13 hydroxylation pathway (NCH) and early C-13 hydroxylation pathway (ECH) in garlic plant. It was also revealed that NCH pathway leading to synthesis of bioactive $GA_4$ was the more prominent GA biosynthesis pathway than ECH pathway in which bioactive $GA_1$ was synthesized. Total GAs level was gradually increased from clove differentiation to bulbing and later decreased, which portrays the active role of GA in differentiation. The biosynthesis ratio of bioactive $GA_4$ and $GA_1$ concentration was similar to that of total GAs content, which was closely related with bulb development in garlic.

CHA, Jong Whan (Dept. of Biology, College of Education, Seoul National University). Effect of gibberallin on the growth and internal componsents of Astragalus sinicus L. Kor. Jour. Bot. V(4) : 1-5, 1962. The effect of GA on the growth as well as on the internal components of the leaves of Astragalus sinicus L. under the soil culture was investigated. The result has indicated that small variation in the relative concentration of GA treated on the leaves shows a marked influence on the internal components of the plants. The increase of growth was associated with increasing intensity of GA. Chlorophyll and carotene contents in the leaves were depressed with increasing concentration of GA. It was noticed that the growth was pomoted with the decrease of the contents of chlorophyll and carotene. In contrast the aacorbic acid in the leaves treated with GA decreased in proportion to the degree of the concentration of GA. Carotens content varied with chlorophyll, although the ratio of chlorophyll to carotene was not so high as the results obtained by Beck and Redman. Chlorophyll and ascorbic acid values with respect to growth differed greatly during the two experimental periods. The chlorophyll content was found highly significant in this experimental periods. The chlorophyll content was found highly significant in this experiment. As the concentration of GA was increased, it was noticed that there was a reduction of anthocyanin, sucrose, and reducing sugar contents. The anthocyanin content was not so high in this study as in the results obtained from the corn by Jacob Straus.

This study was conducted to investigate the biological activity and hepatoprotective effect of various fractions and isolated compounds from Kochiae fructus (KF) extract on D-galactosamine (GaIN)-intoxicated rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, GaIN treated group (GaIN), GaIN plus KF methanol extract treated group (KFM 200-GaIN), GaIN plus KF butanol extract treated group (KFB 200-GaIN), GaIN plus momordin Ic treated group (Momordin Ic 30-GaIN) and GaIN plus oleanolic acid treated group (Oleanolic acid 30-GaIN). KFM (200 mg/kg BW), KFB (200 mg/kg BW), momordin Ic (30 mg/kg BW) and oleanolic acid (30 mg/kg BW) were orally administered once a day for 14 days. GaIN (400 mg/kg BW) was injected at 30 minutes after the final administration of the compounds. The activities of serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were increased in the GaIN group compared to the control group and significantly lower in the KFB 200-GaIN, momordin Ic 30-GaIN and oleanolic acid 30-GaIN group than in the GaIN group. Hepatic lipid peroxide level was increased in the GaIN group compared to the control group and was lower in the KFM 200-GaIN, KFB 200-GaIN, momordin Ic 30-GaIN and oleanolic acid 30-GaIN group than in the GaIN group. Activities of xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase in liver were higher in the GaIN group than in the control group and were significantly decreased in the KFB 200-GaIN, momordin Ic 30-GaIN and oleanolic acid 30-GaIN group compared to the GaIN group. Hepatic glutathione, ${\gamma}$-glutamylcysteine synthetase and catalase activities were decreased in the GaIN group compared to the control group and were higher in the KFB 200-GaIN, momordin Ic 30-GaIN and oleanolic acid 30-GaIN group than in the GaIN group. Activities of hepatic glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase were lower in the GaIN group than in the control group and were improved in the KFM 200-GaIN, KFB 200-GaIN, momordin Ic 30-GaIN and oleanolic acid 30-GaIN group compared to the GaIN group. Therefore, the current results indicate that momordin Ic administration alleviated the GaIN-induced adverse effect through enhancing the antioxidant enzyme activities.

Field experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of plant growth regulator (PGR); IAA, GA, Kinetin to regrowth of sorghum and pearlmillet according to variety and plant growth stage. Kinetin application after cut increased tiller number and decreased dry weight of regrowth, but its application on sorghum stubble in water stress increased tiller number and leaf elongation rate, consequently increased regrowth dry weight. GA application reduced tiller production in both species, but tiller formation in pearlmillet was decreased more than in sorghum by promoting leaf elongation of old tiller. Nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) of stubble during regrowth was consumed less at anthesis than at stem elongation stage because of senescence of tiller primordia. GA treatment reduced NSC content more than other PGR in both plant species, by consuming reserve NSC and stimulating rapid elongation of old tiller after cut. Dry matter increase during regrowth had high correlation with tiller number and tiller elongation a week after cut, while it did not have any correlation with NSC at cutting stage or with consumption of NSC during regrowth. Therefore, regrowth in sorghum and pearmillet must depend upon activity of tiller primordia more than upon amount of reserved NSC.

The possibility of circadian production of plant hormone gibberellin (GA0 was examined in phytochrome B mutant (plyB-1) and wild-type sorghum. GA$_{12}$, GA$_{20}$ and GA$_{1}$ levels were found to cycle circadianly in both phyB-1 and wild-type. The periods (33 h) of GA$_{20}$ and GA$_{1}$ cycling in constant light were longer than normal photoperiods in both genotypes and typical average free running periods in plants of 22 to 28 h. The biological clock was thus shown to function properly in phyB-1. However, circadian regulation of GAs productions were not clear as compared to circadian ethylene regulation reported by Lee (1996). Although, in sorghum, EOD FR treatment hasten floral inititation, the differences in GA concentrations between treatments and untreated control were generally less dramatic than expected. Thus, it can be concluded that FR does not act primarily by changing absolute levels of GAs but rather by increasing flowering responsiveness to GAs.
