Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has attracted many attention and applications due to its excellent electrochemical ability. Therefore, standardization of rGO through structural and thermal analysis facilitates quality improvement and management, enabling users to increase efficiency and reduce relevant costs. For rGO and graphene-related materials, it is very important to determine the number of layers and define the resulting difference in physical properties. In this study, 3~4 layers of rGO-1 and 9~10 layers of rGO-2 were obtained from graphene oxide (GO) through a hydrazine reduction process. For the prepared rGOs, X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern obtained a diffraction peak at 2θ≈25° related to (002) reflection was used to calculate the layer numbers by determining interlayer distance and FWHM value. To reduce the angular uncertainty, XRD data analysis was performed with angle correction using standard reference materials for X-ray powder diffraction analysis. Precise interlayer distance and number of layers were determined using OriginLab and open-source XRD diffraction analysis programs using the angle-corrected diffraction data. TG-DSC thermal analysis was performed to further standardize the physical properties of rGO samples.

In order to increase the critical current of coated conductor, highly Bi-axially textured substrates are required. Texture uniformity of substrate is also important to fabricate high quality superconducting coated conductor because the amount of current flow along the coated conductor is limited by the defects such as bad textured area. Therefore, we need to evaluate the distribution of texture of Ni substrate along the length before buffer layer deposition on Ni tape. R2R(reel-to-reel) XRD system was used to measure the texture of long Ni substrate continuously. $\theta-2\theta$ scan of 10 m long Ni tape was measured and indicates that some of Ni(111) planes equally remain on Ni(002) textured substrate. The results of continuous Ni(220) $\Phi$-scan indicate that average FWHM is 9$^{\circ}$ within $\pm$1.

We have installed an ultra high vacuum (UHV) molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system and investigated into the characteristics of MBE-grown ZnSe/GaAs [001] using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), we confirmed that layer's surface was dense and uniform of molecular layer. We used x-ray diffractometer (XRD) and confirmed two peaks correspond to GaAs [001] substrate and ZnSe epilayer, respectively. We observed photoluminescence (PL) peak approximately at 437 nm and measured PL mapping of 2 inch ZnSe epilayer.

$Ga_2O_3$ is associated with the fabrication of thin window layer of solar cell. Usually, $Ga_2O_3$ is synthesized from Ga-metal oxidation method and GaN mono-crystal heat treatment method. We synthesized $Ga_2O_3$ powder using two methods and analyzed powder using latter method compared with powder by former method. XPS, XRD, IR analysis are conducted. XPS result, surface of GaN powder is almost oxidized to $Ga_2O_3$ at $1124^{\circ}C$ heat treatment and XRD and IR result, the inside of GaN powder is dramatically oxidized at $1124^{\circ}C{\sim}1300^{\circ}C$.

Thin films of $SBT(SrBi_2Ta_2O_9)$ having $Pt/SBT/Seed/Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ structure were fabricated using self-seed layer method by R.F. Magnetron sputter. Self-seed layers were deposited at room temperature and $600^{\circ}C$, which had 30 nm thickness. To investigate crystallization of self-seed layer we characterized by XRD after various heat treatment. And we characterized the crystallinity and electrical properties of SBT on self-seed layer after various heat treatment.

An aqueous solution of a commercial liquid synthetic detergent for kitchen use was photodecomposed in the presence of titanium dioxides ponder under an atmosphere of air at room temperature. Titanium dioxides were prepared by sol-gel method from titanium iso-propoxide at different R R ratio($H_2O$/titanium iso-propoxide) and calcined at $500^{\circ}C$. All titanium dioxides m characterized by XRD, BET surface area analyzer and UV-VIS spectrometer. The surface mea of titanium dioxides prepared at R ratio=6 appeared higher volume about 20% than commercial $TiO_2$ catalyses. XRD patterns of titania particles were observed mixing phase together with rutile and anatase type. Titanium dioxides prepared by sol-gel method show higher activity about 6% than commercial $TiO_2$ catalysts on the Photocatalytic foundation of a commercial liquid synthetic detergent for kitchen. The concentration of the detergent decreased to about 90%, of its initial value at illumination times of 2 hour. illumination for 30 minutes decreased the concentration of oxygen to about one-fifth of the initial value.

Amphiphilic PCZ-r-PEG random copolymer assisted solvothermal process is used to prepare mesoporous $TiO_2$ microspheres generated from nanoparticles by self-assembly method. Synthesized PCZ-r-PEG is characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mesoporous $TiO_2$ are prepared by PCZ-r-PEG, glucose, water in tertrahydrofuran solution at $150^{\circ}C$ for 12 h and the $TiO_2$ microspheres are calcined at $550^{\circ}C$ for 30 min to further crystallize and organic residue are removed. Morphology and crystallization phase is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) respectively. The mesoporous $TiO_2$ crystallized in pure anatase phase with diameter of $300{\pm}20nm$.

II-A isotherms and phase behaviors of 'tocomide', a newly synthesized 1,3-bis(N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-tocopherol succinylamino)-2-hydroxypropane, mixed with cholesterol and linoleic acid, was studied for its monolayer miscibility and a stable delivery formulation for antioxidant applications. The monolayer of tocomide and cholesterol was formed in a homogeneously mixed state at air-water interface. The ternary mixtures with linoleic acid showed various bulk structures, including a stable and transparent solution of thermodynamically stable lamellar phase. The lamellar structure was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and polarized microscopy such that pure tocomide formed a liquid crystal at room temperature with a lamellar periodicity of 36.7 $\AA$(2$\theta$=2.41$^{\circ}$).

Zinc oxide (ZnO) and reduced graphite oxide (rGO) composites were synthesized and tested as adsorbents for the hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) adsorption at mid-to-high (300 to $500^{\circ}C$) temperatures. In order to investigate the critical roles of oxygen containing functional groups, such as hydroxyl, epoxy and carboxyl groups, attached on rGO surface for the $H_2S$ adsorption, various characterization methods (TGA, XRD, FT-IR, SEM and XPS) were conducted. For the reduction process for graphite oxide (GO) to rGO, a microwave irradiation method was used, and it provided a mild reduction environment which can remain substantial amount of oxygen functional groups on rGO surface. Those functional groups were anchoring and holding nano-sized ZnO onto the 2D rGO surface; and it prevented the aggregation effect on the ZnO particles even at high temperature ranges. Therefore, the $H_2S$ adsorption capacity had been increased about 3.5 times than the pure ZnO.
