We have obtained opal-like photonic crystals based on opals and inverted opals exhibiting a shift of the selective reflection band toward longer and shorter wavelengths with respect to the diffraction band of the initial opal consisting of $SiO_2$ spheres. The contribution of frames forming three-dimensional periodic structures and that of fillers to the spectral arrangement of the diffraction bands has been determined.

The OPAL (Open Pool Australian Light-water) reactor is currently being constructed to replace HIFAR (HI-Flux Australian Reactor, commissioned in 1958) in mid-2006. HIFAR will be shutdown for decommissioning after several months of simultaneous operation with OPAL for smooth transition of operating systems and business. OPAL is a 20 MW multipurpose research reactor for radioisotope production, irradiation services and neutron beam research. The OPAL reactor uses low enriched uranium fuel in a compact core, cooled by light water and moderated by heavy water, yielding maximum thermal flux not less than $4{\times}10^{14}ncm^{-2}s^{-1}$. The reactor containment building is constructed of reinforced concrete and has been designed to protect the reactor from all external events such as seismic occurrences and impact from a hypothetical light aircraft crash. This paper describes the main elements of the reactor design and its applications.

In this paper, we describe the electro-optic effects of photonic crystals made of a synthetic opal filled with a nematic liquid crystal(LC). By applying an external electric field, a shift in the Bragg reflection peak position(stop band) and a field-induced change in its peak reflectivity are observed. These significant surface alignment effects of the opal-LC composite are discussed in a similar manner for Freederick-type transitions of LC within a confined geometry in the presence of external fields.

A 450 m-long sediment section was recovered from Hole U1359D located at the eastern levee of the Jussieau submarine channel on the Wilkes Land continental rise (East Antarctica) during IODP Expedition 318. The age model for Hole U1359D was established by paleomagnetic stratigraphy and biostratigraphy, and the ages of core-top and core-bottom were estimated to be about 5 Ma and 13 Ma, respectively. Biogenic opal content during this period varied between 3% and 60%. In the Southern Ocean, high biogenic opal content generally represents warm climate characterized by the increased light availability due to the decrease of sea-ice distribution. The surface water productivity change in terms of biogenic opal content at about 10.2 Ma in the Wilkes Land continental rise was related to the development of Northern Component Water. After about 10.2 Ma, more production of Northern Component Water in the North Atlantic caused to increase heat transport to the Southern Ocean, resulting in the enhanced diatom production. Miocene isotope events (Mi4~Mi7), which are intermittent cooling intervals during the Miocene, appeared to be correlated to the low biogenic opal contents, but further refinement was required for precise correlation. Biogenic opal content decreased abruptly during 6 Ma to 5.5 Ma, which most likely corresponds to the Messinian salinity crisis. Short-term variation of biogenic opal content was related to the extent of sea-ice distribution associated with the location of Antarctic Polar Front that was controlled by glacial-interglacial paleoclimate change, although more precise dating and correlation will be necessary. Diatom production in the Wilkes Land continental rise increased during the interglacial periods because of the reduced sea-ice distribution and the southward movement of Antarctic Polar Front.

울릉분지 퇴적물의 피스톤 코어 시료에 대하여 X-선 분말 회절분석과 리트벨트 방법의 광물정량 소프트웨어를 이용하여 구성광물을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 퇴적물은 세립질의 석영, 장석, 운모, 비정질 오팔-A, 점토광물, 방해석, 황철석 등으로 구성되어 있다. 이중에서 가장 많은 양으로 나타나는 것은 오팔-A이며, 심도 증가에 따라 함량의 점이적인 증가와 감소를 반복적으로 보여주고 있다. 오팔-A 함량의 심도별 변화와 유기탄소함량의 변화는 유사한 경향을 보여주고 있으며, 오팔-A의 함량이 많은 심도에서 규조각의 화석이 다량 산출되고 있다. 이것은 심해 원양성 환경의 규조각 등으로 구성된 비정질 규산광물이 울릉분지 퇴적물의 주 성분을 이루고 있음을 시사한다. 오팔-A는 코어의 상위구간으로 갈수록 증가되는 경향을 보여주는데, 특히 분지의 가장자리 사면부근에서 채취한 코어에서 상위로 갈수록 증가하는 경향이 뚜렷하게 나타난다. 심도에 따른 탄산염 방해석의 함량은 오팔-A의 함량과는 반비례하는 경향이 나타난다. 이것은 해수면의 상승과 하강에 따라 해수면 상승기에는 오팔-A가 증가하며, 하강기에는 오팔-A가 감소하고 방해석의 양이 증가한 것으로 해석된다.

By combining the multi-faceted environmental responsiveness of polymer hydrogels with photonically active structures, there has been a significant effort to create color-tunable photonic crystal sensors by changing either the periodic spacing of the structure or the dielectric constants of the materials. Here, we show that reversible spiral and helical opal switches with both dimensional and optical functionalities that respond to environmental chemistry can be constructed. When the transparent opal switch is swollen in hydrophilic acetic acid, right-handed spirals and helices that exhibit angularly dependent colors from Bragg diffraction are formed. When the transparent opal switch is swollen in hydrophobic hexane, left-handed spirals which exhibit angularly dependent colors from Bragg diffraction are formed. When the transparent opal switch is swollen in hydrophobic hexane solvent, a left-handed spiral and helix with an angularly independent bluish color is formed. After deswelling, all switches returned back to the transparent planar state. These color-tunable, reversible spiral and helical opal switches can be useful as mechanical actuators, and electrical devices as well as optical components.

We have fabricated three-dimensional magnetophotonic crystals based on $\alpha$-$SiO_2$ opal films. Opal thin films grown on glass substrates were filled with bismuth substituted iron garnet (Bi:YIG). Scanning electron microscopy data, optical and magnetic properties of the synthesized samples confirm the presence of the Bi:YIG contentin the opal lattice. It is shown that the samples exhibit the (111) stop band, and transmissivity of the threedimensional magnetophotonic crystals is defined by both the film lattice and the Bi:YIG content.

본 연구는 역오팔 지지체를 이용하여 인간지방유래 줄기세포의 연골 분화를 촉진하는 내용을 담고 있다. 비 다공성 구조를 가진 지지체에서 세포를 분화 시도하였을 경우 분화가 잘 촉진되지 않는 것에 비해 200 nm 정도의 균일한 구멍을 가지는 poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide)로 구성된 역오팔 지지체는 그 다공성 구조로 인하여 지지체의 내부까지 산소와 유기물의 수송을 가능하게 하여 지지체 내에서 어떤 유전적, 약물적 처리 없이 인간지방유래 줄기세포가 분화가 잘 되게 하는 것을 확인하였다.

오팔(OPAL)세대가 이커머스 시장에 새로운 기회를 열고 있다. 이 연구는 혁신확산이론에 기초해 오팔세대 이커머스 이용자와 비이용자의 인구사회학적 속성과 혁신성을 비교하고, 이 같은 개인 특성들이 이커머스 이용 가능성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과 오팔세대 이커머스 이용자는 비이용자보다 여성, 무소득층, 고소득층의 비중이 크며, 더 젊고, 교육 수준이 높은 특징을 보였다. 또한 기능적·쾌락적·사회적·인지적 혁신성이 높았다. 한편 오팔세대는 여성이 남성보다, 연령대가 낮을수록, 교육 수준이 높을수록, 기능적 및 쾌락적 혁신성이 높을수록 이커머스 이용 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과를 토대로 본 연구의 이론적 의의와 실무적 함의를 제시했다.
