본 연구는 황 원소와 질소 원소가 도핑된 이산화티타늄의 특성을 조사하고 8-와트(W) 일반 램프와 가시광선 영역의 발광 다이오드 조사 조건에서 낮은 농도수준의 가스상 이소프로필 알코올(isopropyl alcohol, IPA)의 광촉매적 분해능에 대하여 조사하였다. 또한, 이소프로필 알코올의 광촉매 분해시 발생되는 아세톤의 생성에 대해서도 조사하였다. 황 원소와 질소 원소가 도핑된 이산화티타늄의 표면 조사결과, 두 촉매들은 가시광선 조사(visible light-emitting-diodes, LEDs)에 의해 효율적으로 활성화될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 두 촉매 모두에 대하여, 공기 유량이 감소함에 따라 이소프로필 알코올의 제거 효율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 황 도핑 촉매의 경우, 유량이 0.1 L $min^{-1}$일 때 이소프로필 알코올 제거효율이 거의 100%로 나타난 반면에 유량이 2.0 L $min^{-1}$일 때 이소프로필 알코올 제거효율은 39%로 나타났다. 질소 도핑 촉매의 경우에는, 유량이 0.1 L $min^{-1}$일 때 이소프로필 알코올 제거효율이 거의 100%로 나타난 반면에 유량이 2.0 L $min^{-1}$일 때 이소프로필 알코올 제거효율은 90% 이상으로 나타났다. 이소프로필 알코올 제거 효율과는 달리, 유량 감소에 따라 아세톤 생성율은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로, 아세톤 생성을 최소화하고 이소프로필 알코올 제거 효율을 높이기 위해서는 질소 도핑 촉매를 낮은 유량 조건에서 작동시키는 것이 나은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 이소프로필 알코올 제거를 위해 가시광선 조사 발광 다이오드보다 8-와트 일반램프가 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

Single-phased $CaZrO_3:Dy^{3+}$, $Tm^{3+}$ series have been successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction, and their luminescence properties were investigated. Under 355 nm excitation, $CaZrO_3:Dy^{3+}$ series showed characteristic emission of $Dy^{3+}$, which exhibited yellowish white color. By introducing $Tm^{3+}$ into the matrix, the emitted hue of the $Dy^{3+}$-doped sample could be easily tailored to white, and simultaneously, energy transfer from $Tm^{3+}$ to $Dy^{3+}$ was observed. The color coordinates of the optimum white-emitting sample were (0.321, 0.323), which were very close to the data of the National Television Standard Committee (0.33, 0.33). The co-activated phosphors presented good match to ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which revealed that they could be novel promising phosphors utilized in white LED application.

In this work, the electrical and optical properties of the two different p-type GaN electrode schemes, ZnNi/ITO and ZnNi/Au, were compared each other, and applied to the top-emitting GaN/InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The ZnNi/ITO electrode showed much higher transmittance (90%) and slightly lower contact resistance $(1.27{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm^2)$ than those (77%, $(2.26{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm^2)$) of the ZnNi/Au at a wavelength of 460 nm. In addition, GaN LEDs having ZnNi/ITO showed accordingly higher light output power and luminous intensity than those having ZnNI/Au did at the current levels up to 1 A.

최근 Light Emitting Diode (LED)의 효율을 높이기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행 되고 있다. 특히 소자 측면에서는 수평형 LED, 수직형 LED, via-hole 구조의 수직형 LED 등의 다양한 구조가 제시되었다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션을 통해 via-hole 구조의 수직형 LED의 새로운 전극 디자인을 제시하였다. 기존 Via-hole 구조의 수직형 LED의 n-contact hole 주변에 전류가 밀집되는 문제점을 해결하면서 유효 발광면적을 극대화 시켜 소자 전체에 균일한 전류를 주입할 수 있는 소자 디자인에 대해 평가하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 바탕으로 최적의 전극 디자인을 실제 디바이스로 제작하여 기존의 via-hole 구조의 수직형 LED와 비교 분석하였다. 최적화된 디자인이 적용된 via hole type 수직형 LED의 경우 기존 디자인에 비해 350 mA 주입시 약 0.2 V의 Forward Voltage 감소하였지만 광 출력은 비슷하여 최종적으로 4.2%의 WPE (Wall plug efficiency)가 향상됨을 보였다.

The marine microalgae Chaetoceros calcitrans was cultured under a fluorescent lamp (CON) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of various wavelengths (blue, LB; red, LR; green, LG; white, LW); changes in growth, fucoxanthin, chlorophyll-a, amino acid and fatty acid profiles were investigated. LR-exposed cultures exhibited the highest specific growth rate (SGR) (0.34), whereas LG-exposed cultures showed the lowest SGR (0.26). After cultivation for 10 days, the maximum dry cell weight (g/L) of LR-exposed cultures was significantly higher than that of those exposed to other light conditions (LR${\geq_-}$CON>LB${\geq_-}$LW${\geq_-}$LG). Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) levels were significantly higher in CON-exposed cultures compared to those exposed to LW (P<0.05), with no marked difference compared to those exposed to LB, LR and LG (P>0.05). The fucoxanthin content was highest in LB-exposed cultures ($6.3{\mu}g/mL$), whereas LW showed the lowest ($3.6{\mu}g/mL$; P<0.05). Chlorophyll-a content was highest in cultures exposed to LB compared to other light sources. These results suggest consistent differences in growth and biochemical composition after exposure to light of different wavelengths.

Objective: With the introduction of third-generation light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in dental practice, it is necessary to compare their bracket-bonding effects, safety, and efficacy with those of the second-generation units. Methods: In this study, 80 extracted human premolars were randomly divided into eight groups of 10 samples each. Metal or polycrystalline ceramic brackets were bonded on the teeth using second- or third-generation LED light-curing units (LCUs), according to the manufacturers' instructions. The shear bond strengths were measured using the universal testing machine, and the adhesive remnant index (ARI) was scored by assessing the residual resin on the surfaces of debonded teeth using a scanning electron microscope. In addition, curing times were also measured. Results: The shear bond strengths in all experimental groups were higher than the acceptable clinical shear bond strengths, regardless of the curing unit used. In both LED LCU groups, all ceramic bracket groups showed significantly higher shear bond strengths than did the metal bracket groups except the plasma emulation group which showed no significant difference. When comparing units within the same bracket type, no differences in shear bond strength were observed between the second- and third-generation unit groups. Additionally, no significant differences were observed among the groups for the ARI. Conclusions: The bracket-bonding effects and ARIs of second- and third-generation LED LCUs showed few differences, and most were without statistical significance; however, the curing time was shorter for the second-generation unit.

Unlike water applications, the photocatalytic technique utilizing light-emitting-diodes as an alternative light source to conventional lamp has rarely been applied for low-level indoor air purification. Accordingly, this study investigated the applicability of UV-LED to annular-type photocatalytic reactor for removal of indoor-level benzene and toluene at a low concentration range associated with indoor air quality issues. The characteristics of photocatalyst was determined using an X-ray diffraction meter and a scanning electron microscope. The photocatalyst baked at $350^{\circ}C$ exhibited the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiencies(PDEs) for both benzene and toluene, and the photocatalysts baked at three higher temperatures(450, 550, and $650^{\circ}C$) did similar PDEs for these compounds. The average PDEs over a 3-h period were 81% for benzene and close to 100% for toluene regarding the photocatalyst baked at $350^{\circ}C$, whereas they were 61 and 74% for benzene and toluene, respectively, regarding the photocatalyst baked at $650^{\circ}C$. As the light intensity increased from 2.4 to 3.5 MW $cm^{-1}$, the average PDE increased from 36 to 81% and from 44% to close to 100% for benzene and toluene, respectively. In addition, as the flow rate increased from 0.1 to 0.5 L $min^{-1}$, the average PDE decreased from 81% to close to zero and from close to 100% to 7% for benzene and toluene, respectively. It was found that the annular-type photocatalytic reactor inner-inserted with UV-LEDs can effectively be applied for the decomposition of low-level benzene and toluene under the operational conditions used in this study.

The marine microalgae Nannochloropsis sp. was cultured under a metal halide lamp (MH) or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of various wavelengths (blue, LB; red, LR; yellow, LY; green, LG; white, LW); changes in growth, total carotenoid, chlorophyll a, amino acid and fatty acid profiles were investigated. LB-exposed cultures exhibited the highest specific growth rate (SGR) (0.32), whereas LY-exposed cultures showed the lowest SGR (0.18). After cultivation for 9 days, the maximum dry cell weight (g/L) of LB-exposed cultures was significantly higher than that of those exposed to other light conditions (LB>MH>LW$${\geq_-}LG{\geq_-}$$LR>LY). The essential amino acid (EAA, %) contents of cultures exposed to LG, LB, LR and MH were higher than those exposed to LY and LW (P<0.05). Eicosapentaenoic acid and n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid levels were significantly higher in MH-exposed cultures compared to those exposed to LY (P<0.05), with no marked difference compared to those exposed to LB, LG, LR and LW (P>0.05). The total carotenoid content was highest in LR-exposed cultures (18.0 mg/L), whereas MH showed the lowest (11.8 mg/L; P<0.05). Chlorophyll a content was highest in cultures exposed to LR compared to other light sources. These results suggest consistent differences in growth and biochemical composition after exposure to light of different wavelengths.

형광등이나 LED와 같은 인공광을 사용하는 식물공장(인공광 식물공장)은 계절에 상관없이 광, 온도 및 습도 등을 인위적으로 제어하면서 작물을 안정적으로 연중 생산할 수 있는 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 수경재배 방식을 채택하고 있는 인공광 식물공장 시스템 내에서 엽채재배용 배양액을 이용한 방풍나물의 수경재배 가능성과 혼합광질이 생장에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 방풍나물은 청색과 적색 LED를 1:1 및 1:3의 비율로 혼합한 혼합광 조건에서 90일간 수행하였다. 광원의 광강도는 $100{\mu}mol/m^2/s$로 설정한 후 30일 간격으로 지상부 잎을 3회 수확하여 생장량을 조사하였다. 재배기간 동안 형광등과 LED의 혼합광 조사는 방풍나물 지상부 생장에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 재배개시 30일째 방풍나물 지상부 생체중 및 건물중은 형광등+청색+적색의 혼합광(청, 적색 혼합비율 1:3, FLBR13구)에 의한 영향을 받아, 대조구인 형광등 조사구(FL구)에 비해 각각 3.7배 및 2배 증가하였다. 또한 식물체당 전개엽수는 FLBR13구에서 형광등+청색+적색 혼합광(청, 적색 혼합비율 1:1) 조사구인 FLBR11구에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다. LED와 형광등을 혼합 조사한 처리구에서와 같이, 형광등을 혼합하지 않고 청색과 적색의 LED만을 혼합하여 조사한 처리구에서도 청색과 적색의 혼합비율이 1:1인 BR11구에 비해 적색광의 혼합비율을 3배 증가시킨 BR13구에서 방풍나물의 지상부 생장이 촉진되었다.

Research activity in the III-V nitrides materials system has increased markedly in the past several years ever since high-brightness blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) became commercially available. Despite of excellent optical properties of the GaN, however, inherently poor thermal property of the sapphire used as a substrate material n these devices may lead to thermal degradation of devices, especially during their high power operation. Therefore, dependable thermal analysis and packaging schemes of GaN-based LEDs are necessary for solid lighting applications under high power operation. In this paper, emphasis will be placed upon thermal design of GaN-based LEDs. Thermal measurements of LEDs on chip and packaging scale were performed using the liquid crystal thermographic technology and micro thermocouples for different bias conditions. By a series of optical arrangement, hot spots with specific transition temperatures were obtained with increasing input power. Thermal design of LEDS was made using the finite element method and analytical unit temperature profile approach with optimal boundary conditions. The experimental results were compared to the simulated data and the results agree well enough for the establishment of dependable prediction of thermal behavior in these devices. The paper will present a more detailed understanding of the thermal analysis of the GaN-based blue and white LEDs for high power applications.
