Blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs), violet laser diodes 같은 광전소자들은 질화물 c-plane 기판위에 소자로 응용되어 이미 상품화 되어 왔다. 그러나 2족-질화물 재료들은 wurtzite 구조를 가지므로 c-plane에 평행한 자연적인 극성을 띌 뿐만 아니라 결정 내부 stress로 인한 압전현상 또한 나타나 큰 내부 전기장을 형성하게 된다. 이렇게 생성된 내부 전기장은 전자와 홀의 재결합 효율을 감소시키고 소자 응용 시 red-shift의 원인이 되곤 한다. 따라서 최근 들어 m-plane(1-100), a-plane (11-20)같은 무극성을 뛰는 기판 위에 소자를 만드는 방법이 각광을 받고 있는 추세다. 그러나 무극성 기판을 소자에 응용 시 Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP)에 의한 가공은 반도체 기판으로써 이용하기 위한 필수 불가결의 공정이다. c면(0001) SiC wafer에 대한 연구는 현재 많이 발표가 되어 있으나 무극성면 SiC wafer에 대한 CMP 공정에 대한 연구사례는 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 C면 (0001)으로 성장된 잉곳을 a면(11-20)과 m(1-100)면으로 절단 후, slurry type (KOH-based colloidal silica slurry, NaOCl), 산화제, 연마제등을 변화하여 CMP 공정을 거침으로서 일어나는 기계 화학적 가공 양상에 대하여 알아보았다. 그 후 표면 형상 분석 하기위해 Atomic Force Microscope(AFM)을 사용하였고, 표면 스크레치를 SEM을 이용해서 알아보았다.

우리는 ZnO Template를 사용한 열기상법을 이용하여 수직 배양한 ZnO nanorods와 ZnO Nanopencils를 성장하였고, Dependency temperature Photoluminescence(PL)의 분석을 통하여 광학적 특성에 대해 분석을 하였다. ZnO 나노구조는 100K 이하의 온도에서 donor-bound exciton가 dominant하고, 100K 이상의 온도에서는 free exciton과 그들의 phonon-replica emission이 dominant한 것을 알 수 있었다. 하지만, ZnO nanorods와 nanopencils은 다른 exciton-phonon coupling의 strength에 의한 surface defects에 의해 excitonic emissions의 다른 거동을 보이는 것을 알았다. 이것으로 인해 상온 PL에서 ZnO nanopencil은 nanorods에 비해 52meV의 red shift를 보였다.

Besides empirical algorithms with the blue-green ratio, the algorithms based on fluorescence are also important and valid methods for retrieving chlorophyll-a concentration in the ocean waters, especially for Case II waters and the sea with algal blooming. This study reviews the history of initial cognitions, investigations and detailed approaches towards chlorophyll fluorescence, and then introduces the biological mechanism of fluorescence remote sensing and main spectral characteristics such as the positive correlation between fluorescence and chlorophyll concentration, the red shift phenomena. Meanwhile, there exist many influence factors that increase complexity of fluorescence remote sensing, such as fluorescence quantum yield, physiological status of various algae, substances with related optical property in the ocean, atmospheric absorption etc. Based on these cognitions, scientists have found two ways to calculate the amount of fluorescence detected by ocean color sensors: fluorescence line height and reflectance ratio. These two ways are currently the foundation for retrieval of chlorophyll-a concentration in the ocean. As the in-situ measurements and synchronous satellite data are continuously being accumulated, the fluorescence remote sensing of chlorophyll-a concentration in Case II waters should be recognized more thoroughly and new algorithms could be expected.

We have systematically studied the evolution of the photoluminescence(PL) tuning of porous silicon(PS) by electrochemical etching in various mixed electrolytes. The electrolytes employed as an etchants were mixtures of HF:CH$_3$COOH:HNO$_3$:C$_2$H$\_$5/OH solutions where the composition ratios (%) were varied from 10:1.98:0:88.02 to 10: 1.98:8.4:79.62 under constant concentration of HF and CH$_3$COOH with a total volume of 100 ml. Changes in the surface morphology of the samples caused by variations in the etching process were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). After samples are etched in various mixed electrolytes, FTIR analyses show that there is the non-photoluminescent state and the photoluminescent state simultaneously. The PL spectra show the PL tuning in the ranging from 560 to 700 nm with the increase of HNO$_3$ concentration. An analysis of the subsequent PL relaxation mechanism was carried out by time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) method. Based on experimental results, it is assumed that a red shift of the main PL peak position is related to the HNO$_3$ activated formation of silicon oxygen compounds. Therefore, the use of electrolyte mixtures with composition ratios can be obtained adequate and reproducible results for PL tuning.

Surface plasmon resonance is the enhancement of electromagnetic wave caused by oscillation on the metal and dielectric interfaces. Surface plasmons with nanohole arrays provides an enhancedresonance for the specific wavelengths of interests. Asymmetric array of nanoscale structures can enable orientation dependent shift of resonance wavelengths when combined with the control of polarization for incident visible light, thus providing color tunability. Appropriate lattice constants along the direction of polarization in rectangular nanohole arrays can determine the resonance condition generating red (R), green (G), and blue (B) colors and potentially be applied to display applications. In ourprevious report, we have optimized the ion beam nanomachining conditions to fabricate the nanostructures on the metal film. We apply the fabrication conditions to make nanoscale hole arrays using 100 nm thick gold layer on the glass substrate with the optimal design of periodicities along x, y, and diagonal directions of a=440 nm, b=520 nm, c=682 nm, and the hole diameter of d=200 nm. Using the reflective light in dark field mode of optical microscope, we can observe different colors. When the polarizer is paralleled along a, b, or c direction, the represented color is changed to R, G, and B, respectively. We further map the color using i1 to correlate the conditions of the nanohole arrays with their characteristic color.

Metal-doped $TiO_2$ thin films were prepared on soda-lime-silica glass substrates by using a spin coating-pyrolysis process. As-deposited films were prefired at $500^{\circ}C$ or 10 min in air. Five-coated films were finally annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in air. High resolution X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope and UV spectrophotometer were used to analyze film's property. The largest red shift in optical energy gap is obtained in the Fe-doped $TiO_2$ film.

To study solar activated insecticide, three types of dihydroxyl phosphorus(V) triazatetrabenzocorrole derivatives ($P(OH)_2TBCs$) including H, 4'-methoxy phenoxy, 4'-tert butyl phenoxy substituents were synthesized. The results show that slightly red-shift with introducing substituents was observed and singlet oxygen was generated by the sunlight. Based on photochemical properties, solar activated insecticidal activity tests against Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) were carried out. Overall insecticidal activities were 100~85.7% in the concentration of 500ppm, and especially in the case of compound $P(OH)_2TBC$ the insecticidal activities was 100%.

Grignard metathesis polymerizations of 1,1-disubstituted-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsiloles such as 1,1-dimethyl-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsilole, 1,1-diethyl-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsilole, 1,1-diisopropyl-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsilole, and 1,1-dihexyl-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsilole were performed to yield poly(1,1-disubstituted-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole)s containing fluorescent aromatic chromophore groups such as phenyl and silole in the polymer main chain: poly(1,1-dimethyl-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole), poly(1,1-diethyl-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole), poly(1,1-diisopropyl-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole), and poly(1,1-dihexyl-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole), respectively. The obtained materials are highly soluble in common organic solvents such as chloroform and tetrahydrofuran. Fourier-transform infrared spectra of all the polymers have characteristic C=C stretching frequencies at $1620-1628cm^{-1}$. The prepared organosilicon polymers exhibit strong absorption maximum peaks at 273-293 nm in the tetrahydrofuran solution, showing a red-shift of 18-34 nm relative to those of the monomer, strong excitation maximum peaks at 276-303 nm, and strong fluorescence emission maximum bands at 350-440 nm. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that most of the polymers are stable up to $200^{\circ}C$ with a weight loss of 6-16% in nitrogen.

The reflective type color filter for the liquid crystal displays (LCD) was produced using cholesteric liquid crystal monomers whose phase is characterized by the unique optical features of selective reflection. Periodic micrometer scale hemi-spherical photoresist (PR) patterns were formed on glass substrates by thermal reflow method after photolithography. Cholesteric color filter films for red, green and blue light reflections were then produced and the viewing angle dependence was investigated and compared with that of reflected light on the non-patterned substrates.

Melittin (ME), a linear 26-residue non-cell-selective antimicrobial peptide, displays strong lytic activity against bacterial and human red blood cells. To design ME analogue with improved cell selectivity, we synthesized a melittin diastereomer (ME-D) with D-amino acid in the leucine zipper sequence (Leu-6, Lue-13 and Ile-20). Compared to ME, ME-D exhibited the same or 2-fold higher antibacterial activity but 8-fold less hemolytic activity. Circular dichroism analysis revealed that ME-D has much less $\alpha$-helical content in $\alpha$-helical content in the presence of zwitterionic EYPC/cholesterol (10 : 1, w/w) liposomes compared to negatively charged EYPE/EYPG (7 : 3, w/w) liposomes. The blue shift of the fluorescence emission maximum of ME-D in zwitterionic EYPC/cholesterol (10 : 1, w/w) liposomes was much smaller than in negatively charged EYPE/EYPG (7 : 3, w/w) liposomes. These results suggested that the improvement in therapeutic index/cell selectivity of ME-D is correlated with its less permeability to zwitterionic membranes.
