광포획 기술을 통하여 빛의 흡수 증가시키는 것은 고효율 비정질 실리콘 박막 태양전지 제작에 있어 매우 중요하다. 비정질 실리콘 박막 태양전지에서 일반적으로 사용되는 광포획 기술은 전면 투명전극 및 후면 반사막 표면에 패턴을 형성하는 것이며, 이때의 패턴은 불규칙하게 형성된다. 이러한 불규칙한 패턴 대신 주기적인 패턴을 형성하면 보다 효과적인 광포획 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 주기적인 패턴 형성된 유리 기판 위에 비정질 실리콘 박막 태양전지를 제작하여 태양전지의 광학적 특성 및 변환효율 변화를 살펴보았다. 먼저, 패턴이 형성된 유리 기판에 대한 광추적 전산모사를 통하여 광학적 특성 변화를 살펴보았으며, 실험을 통하여 태양전지를 제작하고 광학적 특성 및 변환효율을 측정하였다. 광추적 전산모사 결과와 실험을 통하여 얻은 결과를 비교 분석하여 유리 기판의 반사방지 및 광포획 효과를 알아보았으며, 박막형 비정질 실리콘 태양전지의 변환 효율에 대한 긍정적인 영향을 확인 할 수 있었다. 박막형 비정질 실리콘 태양전지 제작에는 PECVD가 사용되었으며, 태양전지의 광학적 특성 및 변환효율 측정에는 UV-VIS 분광기, 적분구, solar simulator 등이 사용되었다.

In order to analyze the concentration of cetylpyridinium chloride(CPC), a widely used cationic surfactant, we developed a simple and compact spectrometer, which consisted of a diode laser and a photodiode detector. Preliminary results are described here on the performances of the system in terms if the stability of output intensity, sensitivity, and reproducibility. Data on the comparisons of the system with the conventional UV-VIS spectrometer are also given. With the instrument, the concentration of CPC between 3${\times}$10$\^$-5/M and 1.1${\times}$ 10$\^$-4/M are calibrated as a correlation coefficient of 0.9635. The results shown here indicate a potential for developing a portable spectrometer useful for analyzing concentrations of CPC.

Copolyimides were synthesized from 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) and 1,3-bis(3-aminophenoxy)benzene (BAPB) with different mole ratios of 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)pheny1]hexafluoropropane (BAPP). The solution cast film of poly(amic acid) (PAA) was heat treated at different temperatures to create copolyimide films. The PI copolymer films were found to exhibit good optical transparencies. The thermomechanical properties, morphology, and optical transparency of PI films were examined using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopes (SEM), differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TGA), universal tensile machine (UTM), and IN - Vis. spectrometer. The glass transition temperature ($T_g$), ultimate strength, and initial modulus linearly increased with increasing BAPP mole fraction. However, thermal stability($T_D{^i}$) of the copolyimide remains constant regardless of BAPP loadings. It was found, however, that the optical transparency decreases slightly upon increasing the BAPP content because of the formation of the charge transfer complexes.

A series of polyimide (PI) was prepared by reacting 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)-diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) as the anhydride and bis(3-aminophenyl) sulfone (APS), bis[4-(3-aminophenoxy)-phenyl] sulfone (BAPS), 2,2-bis(4-aminophenyl)-hexafluoropropane (6FPD), 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)-phenyl]hexafluoropropane (6FBAPP), 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzidine (TFDB), or 1,4-phenylenediamine (PDA) as the diamine. Residual stress behaviors were detected in-situ during thermal imidization of the polyimide precursors using a thin film stress analyzer (TFSA), and interpreted with respect to their morphology. According to the molecular orientation and packing order, the residual stress varied from 23.1 to 12.5 MPa, decreased with increasing chain rigidity. The thermal properties of the PI films were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and thermomechanical analysis (TMA). Their optical properties were measured by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-vis), and spectrophotometry. The properties of PI films were found to be strongly dependent upon the morphological structure. However, trade-offs between residual stress and optical properties were identified.

The effect of electrochemical characteristics of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) upon employing multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on both working electrode and counter electrode were examined with using EIS, J-V curves and UV-Vis absorption spectrometry. When 0.1 wt% of MWCNT was employed in the $TiO_2$-MWCNT composit on working electrode, the energy conversion efficiency increased about 12.5% compared to the $TiO_2$ only working electrode. The higher light conversion efficiency may attribut to the high electrical conductivity of MWCNT in $TiO_2$-MWCNT composite which improves the electron transport in the working electrode. However, higher amount of MWCNT than 0.1 wt% in the $TiO_2$-MWCNT composite decreases the light conversion efficiency, which is mainly ascribed to the decreased transmittance of light by MWCNT and to the decreased adsorption of dye onto $TiO_2$. The MWCNT employed counter electrode exhibited much lower light conversion efficiency of DSSC than the Pt-counter electrode, while the MWCNT-Pt counter electrode showed similar in light conversion efficiency to that of Pt-counter electrode.

A relation between antimicrobial activities and the formation constants of solid complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II) and Fe(III) with tridentate Schiff base ligand, 4-hydroxy-3(1-{2-(benzylideneamino)-phenylimino}-ethyl)-6-methyl-2Hpyran-2-one (HL) derived from o-phenylene diamines, dehydroacetic acid (DHA) and p-chloro benzaldehyde have been studied. The ligand and metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, IR, $^1H$-NMR, UV-vis and mass spectra. From the analytical data, the stiochiometry of the complexes was found to be 1:2 (metal:ligand) with octahedral geometry. The molar conductance values suggest the nonelectrolytic nature of metal complexes. The X-ray diffraction data suggests monoclinic crystal system for Ni(II) and orthorhombic crystal system for Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes. The IR spectral data suggest that the ligand behaves as tridentate ligand with ONN donor atoms sequence towards central metal ion. Thermal behavior (TG/DTA) and kinetic parameters calculated by Coats-Redfern method suggests more ordered activated state in complex formation. The protonation constants of the complexes were determined potentiometrically in THF:water (60:40) medium at $25^{\circ}C$ and ionic strength ${\mu}=0.1\;M$ ($NaClO_4$). Antibacterial activities in vitro were performed against Staphylococcus aureu and Escherichia coli. Antifungal activities were studied against Aspergillus Niger and Trichoderma. The effect of the metal ions and stabilities of complexes on antimicrobial activities are discussed.

Crosslinked polyimides (PIs) were synthesized by reacting 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)-diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) and 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzidine (TFDB) with various ratios of the cross-linkable, end-capping agent cis-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (CDBA) via ring-opening metathesis polymerization. Residual stress behaviors were investigated in-situ during thermal imidization of the crosslinked PI precursors using a thin film stress analyzer (TFSA) by wafer bending method. The thermal properties were investigated via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The optical properties were measured by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-vis) and spectrophotometry. All properties were interpreted with respect to their morphology of crosslinked networks. With increasing the amounts of the end-capping agent, the residual stress decreased from 27.9 to -1.3 MPa, exhibited ultra-low stress and high thermal properties. The minimized residual stress and enhanced thermal properties of the crosslinked PI makes them potential candidates for versatile high-density multi-layer structure applications.

Porcelain (white ware, celadon ware) coated with a ferrous sulfate and ferrous/cobalt sulfate was sintered at 1250℃. The specimens were investigated by HR-XRD, FE-SEM, HR-EDS, and UV-vis spectrophotometer. Through X-ray rietveld quantitative analysis, quartz and mullite were found to be the main phases for white ware, and mullite and plagioclase were found to be the main phases for celadon ware. When the pigment of ferrous/cobalt sulfate was applied, were identified as an andradite phase for celadon ware and a spinel phase for the white ware, and the amorphous phase, respectively. The L^* value, which was the brightness of the specimen, was 72.01, 60.92 for white ware and celadon ware, respectively. The ferrous and ferrous/cobalt pigment coated porcelain had L^* values of 44.89, 52.27 for white ware and celadon ware, respectively; with a^* values of 2.12, 1.40, an d at b^* values of 1.45 and 13.79. As for the color of the specimens, it was found that the L^* value was greatly affected by the white ware, and the b^* value differed greatly depending on the clay. It was thought to be closely related to the production of the secondary phase such as Fe₂O₃ and andradite phase produced in the surface layer.

This study analyzed the composition and structure of materials with Buddhist paper scriptures excavated from architectural sites in 'Sum Tolgoi' of the 17^th century and carried out conservation treatment base on the result of the analysis. The scriptures were covered in dust and foreign sub stances, and were so crumpled that it was impossible to identify the form. The damage, loss, and discoloration have been identified. Buddhist scriptures written in Tibetan used indigo and ink sticks on paper as a result of UV-Vis analysis, and ink sticks as black character materials from scriptures written ancient Mongolian. SEM-EDS and Micro-XRF analyses revealed that the outlines were drawn with red lines using a mix of Minium (Pb₃O₄) and Cinnabar (HgS), or Cinnabar (HgS) alone, and the contents of the scriptures were written with silver paint. Silver chloride (AgCl) and Calcium (Ca) were identified in the silver paint component of the characters, while Calcium and Orpiment (As₂S₃) were identified in the yellow lines. Concerning the paper ground, Buddhist scriptures written in ancient Mongolian were characterized by herbal plant fiber and bast fiber, and those written in Tibetan, by bast fiber. Radiocarbon dating indicates that the paper for the scriptures was produced between the 15^th and 17^th centuries. Conservation treatment of the scriptures was carried out based on the experiment on the production of pre-coated paper and how to coat that to prevent the second damage due to the deformation and fragility of the excavated paper. The scriptures were preserved and mounted, and a neutral box was made to identify the contents of the scriptures recorded on both sides after the treatment. This conservation treatment is the result of a study that applied new conservation treatment materials and methods according to the principle of conservation treatment reversibility.

${\zeta}-Carotene$ was subjected to ozonolysis in ice-cold dichloromethane. The ozonolysis products were fractionated with a silica column and the carbonyl fraction was analyzed by ODS-HPLC with a photodiode array detector. ${\zeta}-Carotene$ was solubilized in toluene, and then oxidized by incubating at $37^{\circ}C$, 72 hr under atmospheric oxygen. Carbonyl compound and acidic compound were produced. In comparison with autoxidation and ozonolysis, each compound showed the same retention time and UV-vis spectra were identical to the reference cleavage products prepared by ozonolysis of ${\zeta}-carotene$. Absorption spectrum of acidic compound was similar to that of standard 4,5-didehydrogeranyl geranyl acid which is known to possess biological activity. Thus, eccentric cleavage of ${\zeta}-carotene$ was confirmed to occur in vitro under oxidation condition.
