Surface potential and growth processes of hexadecanethiol (HDT) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) surfaces were examined by Kelvin probe method and scanning tunneling microscopy. It was found that surface potential strongly depends on surface structure of HDT SAMs. The surface potential shift for the striped phase of HDT SAMs chemisorbed on Au(111) surface was +0.45 eV, which was nearly the same as that of the flat-lying hexadecane layer physisorbed on Au(111) surface. This result indicates that the interfacial dipole layer induced by adsorption of alkyl chains is a main contributor to the surface potential change. In the densely-packed HDT monolayer, further change of the surface potential was observed, suggesting that the dipole moment of the alkanethiol molecules is an origin of the surface potential change. These results indicate that the work function of a metal electrode can be modified by controlling the molecular orientation of an adsorbed molecule.

The white-light-emitting organic LED(OLED) with two-wavelength was fabricated using the DPVBi of blue emitting material and a series of orange color fluorescent dye(Rubrene) by vacuum evaporation processes. The basic structure of white-light-emitting OLED was ITO/NPB(150$\AA$)/DPVBi/Rubrene/BCP(100$\AA$)/Alq$_3$(150$\AA$)/Al(600$\AA$). We analyzed the fabricated device through the changes of the DPVBi and Rubrene layer's thickness. We obtained the white-light-emitting OLED with white color light and the CIE coordinate of the device was (0.29, 0.33) at applied voltage of 13V when the thickness of DPVBi layer was 210$\AA$ and the thickness of Rubrene layer was 180$\AA$. At a current of 100㎃/$\textrm{cm}^2$, the quantum efficiency was 0.35％ and at a voltage of 20V, it was 0.405％.

The white-light-emitting organic LED with two-wavelength was fabricated using blue emitting material(DPVBi) and a series of orange color fluorescent dye(Rubrene) by vacuum evaporation processes. The basic structure of white-light-emitting OLED was ITO/NPB(150$\AA$)/DPVBi(150$\AA$)/Alq$_3$:Rubrene(150$\AA$)/BCP(100$\AA$)/Alq$_3$(150$\AA$)/Al(600$\AA$). The changes of the CIE coordiante strongly depended on the doping concentration of Rubrene and the thickness of NPB layer. We obtained the white-light-emitting OLED close to the pure white color light and the CIE coordinate of the device was (0.315, 0.330) at applied voltage of 13V when the doping concentration of Rubrene was 0.5wt% and the thickness of NPB layer is 200$\AA$. At a current of 100mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$, the quantum efficiency was 0.35%.

Hole transporting polymer(poly［N-(p-diphenylamine)phenylmethacrylamide］, PDPMA) was doped with nile red dye at various concentrations to study the influence of doping on the energy transfer during light emitting processes. Organic LEDs composed of ITO/blend(PDPMA -nile red)/ Alq$_3$/Al as well as thin films of blend(PDPMA -nile red)/ Alq$_3$ were manufactured for investigating photoluminescence, electroluminescence, and current-voltage characteristics. Atomic Force Microscopy was also used to observe surface morphology of the blend films. It was found that such doping. significantly influences the efficiency of the energy transfer from the Alq$_3$ layer to blended layer and the optical/electrical properties could be optimized by choosing the right concentration of the dye molecule. The results also showed a interesting correlation with the morphological aspect, i.e. the optimum luminescence at the concentration with the least surface roughness. When the concentration of nile red was 0.8 wt%, the maximum energy transfer could be achieved.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) belong to an ideal material for field emitters because of their superior electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties together with unique geometric features. Several applications of CNTs to field emitters have been demonstrated in electron emission devices such as field emission display (FED), backlight unit (BLU), X-ray source, etc. In this study, we fabricated a CNT cathode by using filtration processes. First, an aqueous CNT solution was prepared by ultrasonically dispersing purified single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs) in deionized water with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The aqueous CNT solution in a milliliter or even several tens of micro-litters was filtered by an alumina membrane through the vacuum filtration, and an ultra-thin CNT film was formed onto the alumina membrane. Thereafter, the alumina membrane was solvated by acetone, and the floating CNT film was easily transferred to indium-tin-oxide (ITO) glass substrate in an area defined as 1 cm with a film mask. The CNT film was subjected to an activation process with an adhesive roller, erecting the CNTs up to serve as electron emitters. In order to measure their luminance characteristics, an ITO-coated glass substrate having phosphor was employed as an anode plate. Our field emitter array (FEA) was fairly transparent unlike conventional FEAs, which enabled light to emit not only through the anode frontside but also through the cathode backside, where luminace on the cathode backside was higher than that on the anode frontside. Futhermore, we added a reflecting metal layer to cathode or anode side to enhance the luminance of light passing through the other side. In one case, the metal layer was formed onto the bottom face of the cathode substrate and reflected the light back so that light passed only through the anode substrate. In the other case, the reflecting layer coated on the anode substrate made all light go only through the cathode substrate. Among the two cases, the latter showed higher luminance than the former. This study will discuss the morphologies and field emission characteristics of CNT emitters according to the experimental parameters in fabricating the lamps emitting light on the both sides or only on the either side.

재난 안전 R&D는 현재 사업목표 및 성과달성을 위한 효과적인 운영 관리체계가 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 재난안전 분야 R&D 사업에 대한 실무적 차원의 성과관리 체계가 마련되어야 하고 이를 위해서는 성과관리 프로세스 수립을 위한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 국제공인 프로젝트 관리 지식체계 지침서인 PMBOK(Project Management Body of Knowledge)에 제시된 프로젝트 관리체계를 도입하여 재난안전 R&D 성과관리 매트릭스를 정의하였고 업무프로세스 분석과 성과실적 검토를 통해 부처 내 R&D 성과관리체계의 취약부분을 도출하였다. 과학기술기본법, 재난 및 안전관리기본법 등 재난안전 R&D 관련 법에 명시된 성과관리 관련 업무를 바탕으로 5개 프로세스 그룹, 7개 성과관리 지식영역 및 47개 프로세스로 재난안전 R&D 성과관리 매트릭스를 구성하였고, 업무분석을 통해 성과확산 환류 지식영역 관련 프로세스가 현행 재난안전 R&D 성과관리 업무의 취약프로세스로 평가되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 업무 취약부분인 성과확산 환류 지식영역에 대해서 PMBOK에서 프로세스를 정의하는 방식과 동일하게 ITO(Inputs-Tool&Techniques-Outputs)를 정의하고 데이터 흐름도를 개발하여 재난안전 R&D 성과확산 및 환류를 위한 업무에 활용할 수 있도록 제안하였다. 본 연구를 통해 제안한 재난 안전 분야 R&D 성과확산 관련 프로세스는 부처 내 R&D 성과확산 활용 업무 전문성을 확보하기 위한 기초자료로 활용되고 더 나아가 재난안전 R&D 사업을 통해 개발된 기술이 기술이전 및 기업 매출액 증대 등 사업화 성과의 확산을 위한 초석을 다지는데 기여할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

최근 태양전지의 Donor/Acceptor 계면에 그래핀 양자점을 완충 층으로 삽입하여 광 전환 효율을 향상시킨 많은 연구 결과들이 보고되었다. 그래핀 양자점은 그래핀 단일 층이 여러 겹 쌓여서 구성된 수 나노미터 크기의 물질로, 양자 제한 효과에 의한 밴드갭 조절이 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 그래핀 양자점을 활용한 연구에서 레이저 분쇄나 수열 처리 등과 같은 복잡하고 접근성이 떨어지는 용액 공정들이 박막 형성에 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Indium tin oxide(ITO)/$TiO_2$/Poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT)/Al 구조로 구성된 태양전지의 Donor/Acceptor 계면에 그래핀 양자점을 단순한 초음파 처리를 통해 용매에 분산시켜 박막 공정에 사용하였음에도 불구하고, 단락 전류를 $1.26{\times}10^{-5}A/cm^2$에서 $7.46{\times}10^{-5}A/cm^2$으로, 곡선인자(Fill factor)를 0.27에서 0.42로 향상된 결과를 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 트랜지스터 구조의 소자를 활용한 전기적 성질 확인과 순환 전압-전류법을 통한 에너지 레벨 분석 및 가시광 흡수 스펙트럼 분석 등을 통하여 고찰하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 그래핀 양자점 용액 공정이 복잡한 처리 공정 없이도, 보다 폭넓게 활용 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

Tandem structure is promising in organic solar cells because of its double open-circuit voltage (VOC) and efficient photon energy conversion. In a typical tandem device, the two single sub-cells are stacked and connected by an interconnecting layer. The fabrication of two sub-cells are usually carried out in a glovebox filled with nitrogen or argon gas, which makes it expensive and laborious. We report a glovebox-free fabricated inverted tandem organic solar cells wherein the tandem structure comprises sandwiched interconnecting layer based on p-doped hole-transporting, metal, and electron-transporting materials. Complete fabrication process of the tandem device was performed outside the glove box. The tandem solar cells based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and (6,6)-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) can realize a high VOC, which sums up of the two sub-cells. The tandem device structure was ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/MoO3/Au/Al/ZnO-d/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/Ag. The separate sub-cells were morphologically and thermally stable up to 160 oC. The high stability of the active layer benefits in the fabrication processes of tandem device. The performance of tandem organic solar cells comes from the sub-cells with an 50 nm thick active layer of P3HT:PCBM, achieving an average power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.9% (n=12) with short-circuit current density (JSC) = 4.26 mA/cm2, VOC = 1.10 V, and fill factor (FF) = 0.62. Based on these findings, we propose a new method to improve the performance and stability of tandem organic solar cells.

Absorption and luminescence characteristics of disperse red-19 (DR-19) and $TiO_2$ composite have been investigated with various poling electric field strengths. Two step synthetic processes were employed to employ the DR-19 to the $TiO_2$ sol-gel. Firstly, urethane bond formation between DR-19 (-OH) and 3-isocyanatopropyl triethoxysilane (ICPTES, -N=C=O) performed (ICPDR) prior incorporation to the $TiO_2$ sol-gel. Secondary, the hydrolysis of the ethoxy group from the ICPTES and condensation reaction between silanol groups from ICPTES and $TiO_2$ sol-gel were performed. The ICPDR and $TiO_2$ sol-gel ($DRTiO_2$) were mixed and stirred for several days. The composite was coated to the ITO coated glass substrate. Corona poling were performed before drying the composite with various electric field strengths. The absorption intensity decreased with the increase of the poling field strength, which resulted in the increase of poling efficiency. The photoluminescence also decreased as the poling field strength increased. There is long luminescence tail for the poled $DRTiO_2$ film compared with unpoled $DRTiO_2$ film. The luminescence long tail indicates that the self-trapped excitons and polarons were generated when the $DRTiO_2$ film was poled with electric field.
