Graphene is a most interesting material due to its unique and outstanding properties. However, semi-metallic properties of graphene along with zero bandgap energy structure limit further application to optoelectronic devices. Recently, many researchers have shown that band gap can be induced in the Bernal stacked bilayer graphene. Several methods have been used for the controlled growth of the Bernal staked bilayer graphene, but it is still challenging to control the growth process. In this paper, we synthesize the large area Bernal stacked bilayer graphene using multi heating zone low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). The synthesized bilayer graphenes are characterized by Raman spectroscopy, optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) is used for the observation of atomic resolution image of the graphene layers.

Pulsed laser ablation in liquid medium was successfully employed to synthesize hydroxyapatite colloidal nanoparticles. The crystalline phase, particle morphology, size distribution and microstructure of the hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were investigated in detail. The obtained hydroxyapatite nanoparticles had spherical shape with sizes ranging from 5 to 20 nm. The laser ablation and the nanoparticle forming process were discussed with explosive ejection mechanism by investigating change of surface morphology on target. The analytical results of XPS, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy confirms that the stoichiometry and bonding properties of the hydroxyapatite nanoparticles are in good agreement with reported bulk hydroxyapatite materials.

In order to analyse the properties of the fiber-adhesive that was used as Flocking process we synthesized quaterpolymer with the variation of the types of monomer ratio by emulsion polymerization. We characterized the properties of this adhesive: Differential Scanning Calorimeter(DSC), Thermogravimetry Analysis(TGA), Raman spectroscopy. The polymer was synthesized by changing the using amount of 2-EHAM, and then we investigated the characteristics of glass transition temperature(Tg), melting temperature(Tm), thermal stability and hydroxyl group respectively. The optimum monomer composition was 36.84% EAM, 15.79% MAM, 42.1% 2-EHAM and 5.26% AAc.

We deposited the carbon films on Ni substrates by thermal atomic layer deposition (th-ALD), for the first time, using carbon tetrabromide ($CBr_4$) precursors and H2 reactants at two different temperatures (573 K and 673 K). Morphology of carbon films was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The carbon films having amorphous carbon structures were analyzed by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy. As the working temperature was increased from 573 K to 673 K, the intensity of C1s spectra was increased while that of O1s core spectra was reduced. That is, the purity of carbon films containing bromine (Br) atoms was increased. Also, the thin amorphous carbon films (ALD 3 cycle) were transformed to multilayer graphene segregated on Ni layer, through the post-annealing and cooling process.

흑연(graphite), 석탄(coal), 숯(char), soot(검댕이) 등의 탄소로 이루어진 재료들은 비정질부터 완전한 흑연결정까지 다양한 구조를 나타낸다. 이러한 탄소재료의 구조의 출발물질 뿐 아니라 열처리에 따라 강한 영향을 받는다 이러한 구조는 여러 구조인자에 의해 특성화되는데, 구조인자로는 층간거리 d, 결정립 크기 Lc 그리고 결정립 직경 La이다. 이런 구조 인자의 지식은 흑연화, 탄소화, 가스화 등과 같은 다양한 공정을 이해하는데 매우 중요하다. 많은 연구자들은 XRD, Raman 분광, 고분해능 TEM 등과 같은 여러 기술을 통하여 이러한 구조인자에 대한 해석을 시도하였다. 그 중 XRD는 정량적 분석에 있어서 가장 많이 이용되는 기술이다. XRD 회절피크의 위치로부터 층간거리 d를 구할 수 있으며, 결정립 크기 Lc 및 결정립 직경 La는 피크의 line 퍼짐(반가폭)으로 직접 구할 수 있다. 한편 섬유상 흡착제로 이용되는 등방성 탄소섬유는 이산화탄소 또는 수증기에 의해 쉽게 활성화되어 최고 약 2,500 $m^2$/g의 고 비 표면적을 얻을 수 있다. 이렇게 활성화 후 고 비표면적을 나타내는 이유는 좁은 분포를 나타내는 미세기공의 기공구조 때문에 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다.

Recently, Silicon Germanium (SiGe) alloys have been received considerable attention for their great potentials in advanced electronic and optoelectronic devices. Especially, microcrystalline SiGe is a good channel material for thin film transistor due to its advantages such as narrow and variable band gap and process compatibility with Si based integrated circuits. In this work, microcrystalline silicon-germanium films (${\mu}c$-SiGe) were deposited by DC/RF magnetron co-sputtering method using Si and Ge target on Corning glass substrates. The film composition was controlled by changing DC and RF powers applied to each target. The substrate temperatures were changed from $100^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$. The microstructure of the thin films was analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The analysis results showed that the crystallinity of the films enhances with increasing Ge mole fraction. Also, crystallization temperature was reduced to $300^{\circ}C$ with $H_2$ dilution. Hall measurements indicated that the electrical properties were improved by Ge alloying.

The degradation of methyl blue (MB) catalyzed by platinum (Pt)-graphene/$TiO_2$ in dark ambiance was studied. Pt-graphene/$TiO_2$ composites were prepared by simple hydrothermal method. Characterizations of composites were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), specific surface area (BET) analysis, and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. UV-spectroscopic analysis of the dyes was performed by measuring the change in absorbance. The degradation of the organic dyes was calculated based on the decrease in concentration of the dyes with respect to regular time intervals. Rate coefficients for the catalytic process were successfully established and reusability tests were performed to test the stability of the used catalysts.

To investigate the effect of the amount of hydrogen on CVD grown-graphene, the flow rate of hydrogen was changed, while other process parameters were kept constant during CVD synthesis. Substrate which consists of 300nm-nickel/$SiO_2$/Si substrate, and methane gas mixed with hydrogen and argon were used for CVD growth. Graphene was synthesized at $950^{\circ}C$. The thickness and the defect of graphene were analyzed using raman spectroscopy. The synthesized graphene shows non-uniform and more defective below a certain amount of hydrogen.
