One dimensional (1D) grating has been fabricated (using focused ion beam) on 50 nm gold (Au) film deposited on higher refractive index Gallium phosphate (GaP) substrate. The sub-wavelength periodic metal nano structuring enable to couple photon to couple with the surface plasmons (SPs) excited by them. These grating devices provide the efficient control on the SPs which propagate on the interface of noble metal and dielectric whose frequency is dependent on the bulk electron plasma frequency of the metal. For a fixed periodicity (${\Lambda}=700 nm$) and slit width (w = 100 nm) in the grating device, the efficiency of SPP excitation is about 40% compared to the transmission in the near-field. Efficient coupling of SPs with photon in dielectric provide field localisation on sub-wavelength scale which is needed in Heat Assisted Magnetic recording (HAMR) systems. The GaP is also used to emulate Vertical Cavity Surface emitting laser (VCSEL) in order to provide cheaper alternative of light source being used in HAMR technology. In order to understand the underlying physics, far-and near-field results has been compared with the modelling results which are obtained using COMSOL RF module. Apart from this, grating devices of smaller periodicity (${\Lambda}=280nm$) and slit width (w = 22 nm) has been fabricated on GaP substrate which is photoluminescence material to observe amplified spontaneous emission of the SPs at wavelength of 805 nm when the grating device was excited with 532 nm laser light. This observation is unique and can have direct application in light emitting diodes (LEDs).

The optical properties of InP/GaP short-period superlattice (SPS) structures grown at various temperatures from $400^{\circ}C$ to $490^{\circ}C$ have been investigated by using temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) and emission wavelength-dependent time-resolved PL measurements. The PL peak energy for SPS samples decreases as the growth temperature increases. The decreased PL energy of ~10 meV for the sample grown at $425^{\circ}C$ compared to that for $400^{\circ}C$-grown sample is due to the CuPt-B type ordering, while the SPS samples grown at $460^{\circ}C$ and $490^{\circ}C$ exhibit the significant reduction of the PL peak energies due to the combined effects of the formation of lateral composition modulation (LCM) and CuPt-B type ordering. The SPS samples with LCM structure show the enhanced carrier lifetime due to the spatial separation of carriers. This study represents that the bandgap energy of InP/GaP SPS structures can be controlled by varying growth temperature, leading to LCM formation and CuPt-B type ordering.

초격자는 동종의 III-V 삼원 합금층을 성장하는 동안 스피노달 분해(spinodal decomposition)로 인한 원자배열(atomic ordering)과 상분리phase separation)에 의해서 발생하는데 MBE (molecular beam epitaxy)과 MOVPE (metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy)를 이용하여 성장시킬 때 주로 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 성장온도에 따른 InP/GaP SPS (short-period superlattices) 구조의 광학적 특성 변화를 시료의 온도와 여기광의 세기를 이용하여 분석하였다. 시료는 MBE 장비를 이용하여 성장하였으며, SPS층은 659쌍의 GaP(2.9 ${\AA}$)과 InP(3.1 ${\AA}$)로 이루어져 있고, GaP 층을 처음에 증착한 뒤, InP 층을 증착 하였다. 성장시 온도를 $400^{\circ}C$, $425^{\circ}C$, $460^{\circ}C$ 그리고 $490^{\circ}C$로 변화를 주어 성장하였다. 이들 시료를 GT400, GT425, GT460 그리고 GT490이라 하였고 이에 대한 광학적 특성을 PL (photoluminescence)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 10 K에서 PL 피크는 GT400 시료는 634 nm, GT425 시료는 636 nm, GT460 시료는 680nm, 그리고 GT490 시료는 692 nm에서 나타났으며, GT425 시료의 PL 세기가 가장 강하게 나타나고 GT400 시료의 PL 세기가 가장 약하게 나타났다. 그러나 260 K에서 PL 세기는 GT460 시료가 가장 강하게 나타나고 GT425 시료가 가장 약하게 나타났다. 성장온도가 증가함에 따라 밴드갭이 감소하는 것은 특정 성장온도($460^{\circ}C$) 이상에서 LCM (lateral composition modulation)이 형성되는 것으로 설명할 수 있다. GT400 시료와 GT425 시료의 PL 피크가 1.94 eV와 1.95 eV로 비슷하고, GT460 시료와 GT490 시료의 PL 피크가 1.82 eV과 1.79 eV로 비슷하게 나타난 것은 $460^{\circ}C$이상에서 성장한 시료에서 LCM 구조 형성으로 설명할 수 있다.

Design of a GA-based SPS controller for Power system stabilization has been investigated in this paper. The design problem of SPS controller is formulated as an optimization problem using GA. The dynamic characteristic responses are considered to verify performance of the proposed SPS under various disturbance for various operation conditions. The simulation results show that the proposed SPS controller provides most of the damping and improves greatly the voltage profile of the system under two different disturbances.

The influence of Au/Ni-based contact formed on a lightly-doped (7.3×1017cm−3, Zn-doped) InGaAsP layer for electrical compensation of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) propagation under various rapid thermal annealing (RTA) conditions has been studied. The active control of SPP propagation is realized by electrically pumping the InGaAsP multiple quantum wells (MQWs) beneath the metal planar waveguide. The metal planar film acts as the electric contact layer and SPP waveguide, simultaneously. The RTA process can lower the metal-semiconductor electric contact resistance. Nevertheless, it inevitably increases the contact interface morphological roughness, which is detrimental to SPP propagation. Based on this dilemma, in this work we focus on studying the influence of RTA conditions on electrical control of SPPs. The experimental results indicate that there is obvious degradation of electrical pumping compensation for SPP propagation loss in the devices annealed at 400℃ compared to those with no annealing treatment. With increasing annealing duration time, more significant degradation of the active performance is observed even under sufficient current injection. When the annealing temperature is set at 400℃ and the duration time approaches 60s, the SPP propagation is nearly no longer supported as the waveguide surface morphology is severely changed. It seems that eutectic mixture stemming from the RTA process significantly increases the metal film roughness and interferes with the SPP signal propagation.

The objective of this study was to realize research demands by gathering the research agenda from the Korean Dental Hygienists Association and affiliated groups through a Delphi survey. The study subjects were the heads of eight groups. The Delphi survey was conducted by e-mail after a researcher explained the objective of the study to the heads. The research agenda was classified according to the Korean dental hygiene academic classification and the National Dental Hygiene Research Agenda classification. To compare the number of research agendas according to classification among the groups, we conducted a chi-squared test by using IBM SPSS 20.0. In total, 316 agendas were submitted. According to the Korean dental hygiene academic classification, there was a significant difference among the groups, and the agendas associated with clinical dental hygiene (36.7%) were the best. According to the National Dental Hygiene Research Agenda classification, there was no significant difference and the agendas associated with health promotion and disease prevention (27.8%) were the best. In conclusion, the Korean Dental Hygienists Association and affiliated groups demanded similar research agendas, corresponding to the purpose of each establishment. However, the groups did not seem to show unique characteristics according to the purpose of each establishment. In other words, the groups should corroborate such characteristics and suggest a corresponding agenda to establish specific areas of research in dental hygiene. Also, dental hygiene researchers should mark the academic classification of the studies they want to submit.
