Ion diffusion and chemical binding to acrylic polymer were investigated in a solid film. The composition of acrylic monomers containing amino group and carboxylic acid was adjusted for rapid ion migration in the film. p-Methylred (PMR) and phenolphthalein derivatives were optically sensitive to the concentration of proton and hydroxyl anion, respectively and verified the ion migration through the film layers. A rapid proton migration was observed in the film of a high amino content. On the other hand, $OH^-$ migration occurred rapidly in a high content of carboxylic acid group. The proton migration occurred through the internal layer as well as surface layer of a film and was reversible during 50 repetition examination. Copper(II) ion migration was examined with a Rhodamine-containing polymer film. The light absorption and emission spectra of a Rhodamine-Cu complex showed the key contribution of carboxylic acid group to the Cu(II) migration in a film.

We investigated the structural and electrical properties of the Ba ($Zr_{x}$ $T_{il-x}$ )$O_3$ (BZT thin films with a mole fraction of x=0.2 and thickness 150 nm for the application in MLCC (Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor). BZT films were prepared on $Pt/SiO_2$/Si substrate at various substrate temperatures by the RF-magnetron sputtering system. When the substrate temperature was above $500^{\circ}C$, we could obtain multi-crystalline BZT films oriented at (110), (111), and (200) directions. The crystallization of the film and high dielectric constant were observed with the increase of substrate temperature. Capacitance of the film deposited at high temperature is more sensitive to the applied voltage than that of the film deposited at low temperature. This paper reports surface morphology, dielectric constant, dissipation factor, and C-V characteristics for BZT films deposited at three different temperatures. The BZT film deposited at 40$0^{\circ}C$ shows stable electrical properties but a little small dielectric constant for MLCC application.

Artemisinin, the effective ingredient of Chinese herb Artemisia annua L (Qinghao in Chinese), has been proved to be effective to antimalarial. Herein, a reliable, sensitive and convenient electrochemical method was developed for the determination of artemisinin utilizing the excellent properties of multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT). The electrochemical behavior of artemisinin was investigated. It is found that the reduction peak current of artemisinin remarkably increases and the peak potential shifts positively by 240 mV at the MWNT film-modified electrode. These phenomena indicate that the MWNT film exhibits efficient catalytic activity to the electrochemical reduction of artemisinin. The effects of pH value, amount of MWNT, scan rate and accumulation time were examined. The limit of detection (S/N = 3) is as low as 10 $\mu$ g $L^{-1}$. Finally, this newly developed method was used to determine the content of artemisinin in Artemisia annua L.

Thin films of $In_2O_3-SnO_2$(ITO), $SnO_2$, and $SiO_2$ were prepared on the PET substrate by DC magnetron roll sputtering. 135 nm thick ITO film on $SiO_2$/PET substrate has sheet resistance as low as 55 ${\Omega}/square$ and transmittance as high as 85%. $H_2O$gas permeation through the film was 0.35 g/$m^2$ in a day. These properties are enough on optical film for the plastic LCD substrate or touch panel. Both refractive index and sheet resistance of ITO was found to be very sensitive to $O_2$ flow rate. Oxygen flow conditions have been optimized from 4 to 5 SCCM at $10^{-3}$torr. It is also shown that both thickness of $SnO_2$ and refractive index of $SiO_2$ decrease as $O_2$ flow rate increases.

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique for observing organic molecules, as it combines sensitive vibrational excitations with a non-destructive probe. However, gaseous volatile compounds in the air are challenging to detect, as they are not easy to immobilize in a sensing device and give enough signal by themselves. In this study, we fabricated a thin nanocrystalline metal-organic framework (nMOF) film on a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) substrate to enhance the IR vibration signal of the gaseous volatile compounds captured within the nMOF pores. Specifically, we synthesized nanocrystalline HKUST-1 (nHKUST-1) particles of ca. 80 nm diameter and used a colloidal dispersion of these particles to fabricate nHKUST-1 films by a spin-coating process. After finding that benzene was readily adsorbed onto nHKUST-1, an nHKUST-1 film deposited on a plasmonic Au substrate was successfully applied to the IR detection of gaseous benzene in air using surface-enhanced IR spectroscopy.

The soft magnetic property for the Corning glass/Ta(5 nm)/[Conetic, Permalloy)/Ta(3 nm) prepared by the ion beam deposition sputtering was investigated. The coercivity and saturation magnetic field of conetic (NiFeCuMo) and permalloy (NiFe) layer with easy and hard direction along to the applying magnetic field during deposition was compared with each other. The surface resistance of conetic film with a thickness of 10 nm was 2 times lower than one of permalloy film. The coercivity and the magnetic susceptibility of conetic film decreased and increased 3 times to one of permalloy film, respectively. These results suggest that a highly sensitive GMR-SV or MTJ using conetic film can be possible to develop the bio-device.

To develop more sensitive humidity sensor on high temperature region, in this paper, we prepared polyimide humidity sensor by electrophoretic method. Sensing properties of be sensor in high temprature region were studied and compared with that prepared by solution casting method. From the result, the thiner film thickness, the more sensitive. however, It is difficult to make he thickness optimal because of short between electrodes, and the thickness of upper electrode is one of most important parameters affecting pefomance of the sensor.

X-ray lithography was employed to fabricate ITO-less high resolution sustain electrodes for plasma display panel (PDP). A polyimide film based X-ray mask and Xray sensitive Ag electrode paste were fabricated to check their effect on the patterning of Ag electrodes with less than 30 ${\mu}m$ in width. The X-ray lithographic method was found to be useful for the high resolution sustain electrode patterns due to the high penetration power and low scattering property of X-ray source.

By employing a photo-sensitive PVA as a photoresist, we first demonstrated simultaneous patterning and passivation of P3HT active layer. The passivation layers were obtained by annealing the organic layers after developing PVA and over-etching the P3HT layer. The fabricated OTFTs were electrically characterized. The OTFTs after the passivation exhibited the field-effect of ${\sim}5.9{\times}10^{-4}cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, on/off current ratio of ${\sim}10^3$. The value of OTFTs a little degradation with time in air but it appeared different unpassivated OTFT.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of mulching material and planting density on growth and bulb development of shallot. The transparent PE film was better than black PE film as a mulching material for the overwintering shallot crop. Transparent PE film mulching promoted plant growth and increased marketable yield by 21% as compared with that of the black PE film-mulched crop. However, the bulb size was not significantly affected by the type of mulching film. The height and width of ridge and planting density significantly affected the growth and bulb yield of the moisture sensitive shallot. Bulb yield of the shallot planted in five rows in 120 cm wide ridges (20,833 plants per 10 a) was 1,332 kg per 10 a, which was 1.7 times as high as that by the crop grown in three rows in 120 cm wide ridges (12,500 plants per 10 a). In conclusion, the shallot crop is recommended to be cultivated in five rows in 120 cm ridges mulched with the transparent PE film.
