Spectroscopic measurements and theoretical calculations are performed for the four 1 : 3 Sm(III) : ligand solutions. The ligands included in this study are oxidiacetate, iminodiacetate, methyliminodiacetate and dipicolinate. The oscillator strengths for the $4f{\to}4f$ multiplet-to-multiplet transitions are empirically determined from the absorption spectra. The intensity parameters ${\Omega}_{\lambda}\;({\lambda}=2,\;4,\;6)$ of $Sm^{3+}$(aquo) and ${SmL_3}^{3-}$ complexes are also evaluated by applying the Judd-Ofelt theorem to the observed oscillator strengths. The values of the intensity parameters are compared and discussed in term of structural properties of the complexes. In addition, the fluorescence spectra are reported for the Sm(III) complex systems under mild alkaline condition. The excitation from the $^6H_{5/2}$ ground state to any excited states lying above the emitting energy level $(^4G_{5/2})$ produces four fluorescence bands, following nonradiative transitions from a certain excited state to the $^4G_{5/2}$ state. The ratios of oscillator strengths of ${SmL_3}^{3-}$ complexes to that of $Sm^{3+}$(aquo) are also evaluated from the fluorescence spectra and compared to the results obtained from the absorption bands.

Recently, spatial modulation (SM) schemes are considered to improve the reception performance in spatially correlated channel environments. SM schemes utilize a switching method between multiple transmitters to reduce the correlation among multiple transmitters to reduce the correlation of each received signals and can support transmission additional bits using antenna combinations without extra bandwidth. Therefore, SM schemes can overcome correlation interference of conventional MIMO in urban wireless channels. However, the performance comparisons between SM schemes are not yet performed in correlated urban wireless channels. In this paper, some representative SM schemes are compared and a suitable SM-MIMO system in correlated urban wireless channels is proposed.

We have systematically studied the superconducting properties and flux pinning enhancement of $(Y_{0.33}Sm_{0.33}Nd_{0.33})\;Ba_2Cu_3O_y$ [(YSN)-123] composite oxides by melt growth process in air. A sample prepared by this method showed well-textured microstructure, and $(Y_{0.33}Sm_{0.33}Nd_{0.33})\;BaCuO_5$ [(YSN)211] nonsuperconducting particles were uniformly dispersed in large (YSN) 123 superconducting matrix. The sample showed a sharp superconducting transition at 91 K. The magnetization measurements of the (YSN)-123 sample exhibited the enhanced flux pinning, compared with $YBa_2Cu_3O_y$ (Y-123) sample without Sm and Nd. Critical current densities of (YSN)-123 sample was $2.5{\times}10^4 A/cm^2$ at 2 T and 77 K.

Sm-doped lead zirconate titanate($Pb_{1.1}(Zr_{0.6}Ti_{0.4})O_3$; PZT) thin films on the Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrates prepared by a sol-gel method. The effect on structural and electrical properties of PZT thin films measured according to the Sm content. Sm-doping altered significantly dielectric and ferroelectric properties. The remanent polarization and the coercive field decreased with the increasing Sm content. The dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of PZT thin films decreased with the increasing Sm content. At 100 kHz, the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of. the 0.3 mol% of Sm-doped PZT thin film were 1200 and 0.12 respectively. The remanent polarization (2Pr) of the 0.3 mol% of Sm-doped PZT thin film was $52.13{\mu}C/cm^2$ and the coercive field was 94.01 kV/cm. The 0.3 mol% of Sm-doped PZT thin film showed an improved fatigue characteristic comparing to the undoped PZT thin film.

Performance of single cell at solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system is largely affected by electrocatalytic and thermal properties of cathode. Samarium-based perovskite oxide material is recently recognized as promising cathode material for intermediate temperature-operating SOFC due to its high electrocatalytic property. Perovskite structured $Sm_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3-\delta}$ and its composite material, $Sm_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3-\delta}/Sm_{0.2}Ce_{0.8}O_{1.9}$ were investigated in terms of area specific resistance (ASR), thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), thermal cycling and long term performance. $Sm_{0.2}Ce_{0.8}O_{1.9}$ was used as electrolyte material. Electrochemical ac impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and dilatometer were used to measure the cathodic properties. Composite cathode ($Sm_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3-\delta}$: $Sm_{0.2}Ce_{0.8}O_{1.9}$ = 6:4) showed a good ASR of 0.13${\Omega}$ $cm^2$ at 650$^{\circ}C$ and its TEC value was 12.3${\times}$10-6/K at 600$^{\circ}C$ which is similar to the value of ceria-based electrolyte of 11.9${\times}$10-6/K. Performance of composite cathode was maintained with no degradation even after 13 times thermal cycle test.

To characterize the food components of two mussels (wild hard-shelled mussel (HM) Mytilus coruscus, and cultured sea mussel (SM) Mytilus edulis) in Korea, we examined the proximate composition, fatty composition, amino acid/mineral content, texture, collagen content and chemical and taste compounds. Regarding the proximate composition, HM had lower moisture levels and higher crude protein and carbohydrate contents than SM. The amino nitrogen, volatile basic nitrogen and total amino acid contents of HM and SM were 250.6 and 227.3 mg/100 g, 11.2 and 12.0 mg/100 g, and 17,451.1 and 15,334.8 mg/100 g, respectively. The major amino acids were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, glycine, alanine, lysine and arginine. The major fatty acids of HM and SM were 14:0, 16:0, 16:1n-7, 20:5n-3, and 22:6n-3, which did not differ significantly between the two mussels. HM had a higher n-3 polyene ratio, and a lower saturate and monoene ratio than SM. Regarding the taste-active compounds, the free amino acid contents of HM and SM were 1,116.5 and 961.8 mg/100 g, respectively, and the major free amino acids were taurine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, citrulline, lysine and arginine. The primary minerals in both HM and SM were Na, Cl, K and P which did not differ significantly between the two mussels. The soluble and insolube collagen contents of HM and SM were 265.8 and 228.4 mg/100 g, and 119.5 and 121.8 mg/100 g, respectively.

M(10)-Ni(5)/SBA-15(M=Ce, Nd, Sm) catalysts were prepared for the partial oxidation of methane (POM) to syngas. The catalysts were characterized by BET, TEM, and XPS. The BET-specific surface area and average pore size for M(10)-Ni(5)/SBA-15(M=Ce, Nd, Sm) were 538.8, 504.3, and $447.3m^2/g$ and 6.4, 6.8, and 7.1 nm, respectively. TEM results showed that the mesoporous hexagonol structure was formed for SBA-15, while the homogeneous dispersion of Ni and Ce particles on the surface was formed for Ce(10)-Ni(5)/SBA-15 caused by the confinment effect of SBA-15. XPS data confirmed that $Ce^{4+}$ and $Ce^{3+}$ on the surface catalyst have two oxidation states due to the lattice oxygen species ($O^{2-}$, $O^-$). The yields of POM to syngas over Ce(10)-Ni(5)/SBA-15 were 52.9% $H_2$ and 21.7% CO at 1 atm, 973 K, $CH_4/O_2=2$, $GHSV=1.08{\times}10^5mL/g_{cat.}{\cdot}h$, and these values were kept constant even after 75 h on streams. The same tendency of syngas yields was observed for M(10)-Ni(5)/SBA-15(M=Ce, Nd, Sm). These results confirm that the redox reaction of promoters including Ce, Nd, and Sm enhanced the stability and yield of catalysts.

$CaNb_2O_6:RE^{3+}$ (RE=Sm or Eu) phosphor powders were prepared with different contents of activator ions by using solid-state reaction method. The X-ray diffraction patterns exhibited that the phosphors synthesized with different activator ions showed an orthorhombic system with a main (131) diffraction peak. The maximum size of the grain particles, determined from the measurement of scanning electron microscopy, was observed at 0.05 mol of $Eu^{3+}$ ions and at 0.01 mol of $Sm^{3+}$. As for the $Eu^{3+}$-doped phosphor powders, the excitation spectra were composed of a broad band peaked at 278 nm and several weak bands in the range of 350~500 nm, and the highest red emission spectrum was observed at 0.15 mol of $Eu^{3+}$ ions. As for the $Sm^{3+}$-activated phosphor powders, three strong emission bands under excitation at 273 nm were observed at 570, 612, and 659 nm, respectively. The intensities of all the emission bands approached maxima for 0.05 mol of $Sm^{3+}$ ions. The optical properties show that the $Eu^{3+}$- or $Sm^{3+}$-doped $CaNb_2O_6$ powders are promising red-orange emitting phosphor powders applicable to full-color photonic devices.

Production of the exopolymer by Aureobasidium pullulans SM-2001, UV induced mutant of A. pullulans ATCC 42023, was investigated. The exopolymer produced by A. pullulans SM-2001 was confirmed to be ${\beta}$-1,3-linked homoglucans containing a few ${\beta}$-1,6-linked single glucosyl branches(${\beta}$-1,3/1,6-glucan) with the nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectrum. The average molecular weight of ${\beta}$-1,3/1,6-glucan produced by A. pullulans SM-2001 was about 2.6 ${\times}$ 10$\^$5/ by the gel permeation chromatographic analysis. Sucrose was known to be better carbon source for the production of ${\beta}$ -1,3/1,6-glucan than other tested carbon sources in this study. Maximal conversion rate of ${\beta}$-1,3/1,6-glucan was about 50% when the carbon source was 0.5%(w/v) sucrose.

SrMoO₄:RE³⁺ (RE=Dy, Sm, Tb, Eu, Dy/Sm) phosphors are prepared by co-precipitation method. The effects of the type and the molar ratio of activator ions on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of the phosphor particles are investigated. X-ray diffraction data reveal that all the phosphors have a tetragonal system with a main (112) diffraction peak. The emission spectra of the SrMoO₄ phosphors doped with several activator ions indicate different multicolor emissions: strong yellow-emitting light at 573 nm for Dy³⁺, red light at 643 nm for Sm³⁺, green light at 545 nm for Tb³⁺, and reddish orange light at 614 nm for Eu³⁺ activator ions. The Dy³⁺ singly-doped SrMoO₄ phosphor shows two dominant emission peaks at 479 and 573 nm corresponding to the ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2 magnetic dipole transition and ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2 electric dipole transition, respectively. For Dy³⁺ and Sm³⁺ doubly-doped SrMoO₄ phosphors, two kinds of emission peaks are observed. The two emission peaks at 479 and 573 nm are attributed to ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2 transitions of Dy³⁺ and two emission bands centered at 599 and 643 nm are ascribed to ⁴G_5/2→⁶H_7/2 and ⁴G_5/2→⁶H_9/2 transitions of Sm³⁺. As the concentration of Sm³⁺ increases from 1 to 5 mol%, the intensities of the emission bands of Dy³⁺ gradually decrease; those of Sm³⁺ slowly increase and reach maxima at 5 mol% of Sm³⁺ ions, and then rapidly decrease with increasing molar ratio of Sm³⁺ ions due to the concentration quenching effect. Fluorescent security inks based on as-prepared phosphors are synthesized and designed to demonstrate an anti-counterfeiting application.
