In an original effort, this lab attempted to employ polystyrene nanoparticles as a template for the synthesis of ordered and highly porous macroporous $SiO_2$ thin films, utilizing their high combustion temperature and narrow size distribution. However, polystyrene nanoparticle thin films were not obtained due to the low interaction between individual particles and between the particle and silicon substrate. However, polystyrene-polyacrylic acid (PS-AA) colloidal particles of a core-shell structure were synthesized by a one-pot miniemulsion polymerization approach, with hydrophilic polyacrylic acid tails on the particle surface that improved interaction between individual particles and between the particle and silicon substrate. The PS-AA thin films were spin-coated in the thickness ranges from monolayer to approximately $1.0\;{\mu}m$. Using the PS-AA thin films as sacrificial templates, macroporous $SiO_2$ thin films were successfully synthesized by vapor deposition or conventional solution sol-gel infiltration methods. Inspection with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) showed that the macroporous $SiO_2$ thin films consist of interconnected air balls (~100 nm). Typical macroporous $SiO_2$ thin films showed ultralow refractive indices ranging from 1.098 to 1.138 at 633 nm, according to the infiltration conditions, which were confirmed by spectroscopy ellipsometry (SE) measurements. This research shows how the synthetic control of the macromolecule such as hydrophilic polystyrene nanopaticles and silicate sol precursors innovates the optical properties and processabilities for actual applications.

Phase intergrowth some kinds of the $Bi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$ phases is observed in the thin film fabrication at ultralow co-deposition with multi targets by means of ion beam sputtering. The molar fraction of the Bi2212 phase in the mixed crystal of the grown films is investigated as a function of the applied ozone pressure and the substrate temperature. The activation energy for the phase transformation from the Bi2201 to the Bi2212 is estimated in terms of the Avrami equation. This study reveals that the formation of a liquid phase contributes significantly to the construction of the Bi2212 phase in the thin films, differing from the bulk synthesis.

The GaAs semiconductor whispering gallery modes, produced in the peripheral Rayleigh band region of W／sub Rayleigh／ ＝ (${\Phi}$／2)( 1-n／sub eff／n), exhibit novel properties of ultralow thresholds open to nano-ampere regime associated with photonic quantum ring (PQR) production (Fig 1 (a)). The PQR phenomena are associated with a photonic field-driven phase transition of quantum well(QW)-to-quantum wire (QWR) and hence the photonic (non-de Broglie) quantum corral effects, on the Rayleigh cavity confined carriers in dynamic steady state, occur as schematically shown in Fig 1.

Very low refractive index (<1.4) materials have been proved to be the key factor improving the performance of various optical components, such as reflectors, filters, photonic crystals, LEDs, and solar cell. Highly porous SiO2 are logically designed for ultralow refractive index materials because of the direct relation between porosity and index of refraction. Among them, ordered macroporous SiO2 is of potential material since their theoretically low refractive index ~1.10. However, in the conventional synthesis of ordered macroporous SiO2, the time required for the crystallization of organic nanoparticles, such as polystyrene (PS), from colloidal solution into well ordered template is typical long (several days for 1 cm substrate) due to the low interaction between particles and particle - substrate. In this study, polystyrene - polyacrylic acid (PS-AA) nanoparticles synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization method have hydrophilic polyacrylic acid tails on the surface of particles which increase the interaction between particle and with substrate giving rise to the formation of PS-AA film by simply spin - coating method. Less ordered with controlled thickness films of PS-AA on silicon wafer were successfully fabricated by changing the spinning speed or concentration of colloidal solution, as confirmed by FE-SEM. Based on these template films, a series of macroporous SiO2 films whose thicknesses varied from 300nm to ~1000nm were fabricated either by conventional sol - gel infiltration or gas phase deposition followed by thermal removal of organic template. Formations of SiO2 films consist of interconnected air balls with size ~100 nm were confirmed by FE-SEM and TEM. These highly porous SiO2 show very low refractive indices (<1.18) over a wide range of wavelength (from 200 to 1000nm) as shown by SE measurement. Refraction indices of SiO2 films at 633nm reported here are of ~1.10 which, to our best knowledge, are among the lowest values having been announced.

This paper introduces an efficient voltage multiplier circuit for improved voltage gain and power efficiency of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. The multiplier is fully integratable and takes advantage of both passive and active circuits to reduce the required input power while yielding the desired DC voltage. A six-stage voltage multiplier and an ultralow power voltage regulator are designed in a 0.13 ${\mu}m$ complementary metal-oxide semiconductor process for 2.45 GHz RFID applications. The minimum required input power for a 1.2 V supply voltage in the case of a 50 ${\Omega}$ antenna is -20.45 dBm. The efficiency is 15.95% for a 1 $M{\Omega}$ load. The regulator consumes 129 nW DC power and maintains the reference voltage in a 1.1% range with $V_{dd}$ varying from 0.8 to 2 V. The power supply noise rejection of the regulator is 42 dB near a 2.45 GHz frequency and performs better than -32 dB from 100 Hz to 10 GHz frequencies.

A suspended membrane micro fluidic heat flux sensor that is able to measure the heat flow rate was designed and fabricated by a complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible process. The combination of a thirty-junction gold and nickel thermoelectric sensor with an ultralow noise preamplifier, low pass filter, and lock-in amp has enabled the resolution of 50 nW power and provides the sensitivity of $11.4\;mV/{\mu}W$. The heater modulation method was used to eliminate low frequency noises from sensor output. It is measured with various heat flux fluid of DI-water to test as micro fluidic application. In order to estimate the heat generation of samples from the output measurement of a micro fluidic heat-flux sensor, a methodology for modeling and simulating electro-thermal behavior in the micro fluidic heat-flux sensor with integrated electronic circuit is presented and validated. The electro-thermal model was constructed by using system dynamics, particularly the bond graph. The electro-thermal system model in which the thermal and the electrical domain are coupled expresses the heat generation of samples converts thermal input to electrical output. The proposed electro-thermal system model shows good agreement with measured output voltage response in transient state and steady-state.

본 연구에서는 비이온성 계면활성제를 사용하여 오염 토양 내의 탄화수소 유기물을 정화하는 데 있어서 필수적인 최적의 비이온성 계면활성제에 대한 조건을 도출하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 비이온성 계면활성제, 물, 탄화수소로 이루어진 3성분계에 대하여 특정 탄화수소 유기물이 계면활성제에 의하여 최대로 가용화될 수 있는 조건을 계면활성제 친수성 기의 변화에 따라 측정하고 비이온성 계면활성제 용액과 탄화수소 사이의 계면장력을 측정하였다. 이런 결과들을 바탕으로 실제 회분식 sur-factant washing 실험을 수행한 결과 탄화수소의 유기물은 PIT(Phase Inversion Temperature)에서 생성되는 middle-phase microemulsion에 최대로 가용화될 수 있었으며, 비이온성 계면활성제 $C_{12}E_5(C_{12}H_{25}O(CH_2CH_2O)_5H)$를 사용했을 경우 $C_{12}E_5$, 물, n-hexadecane으로 이루어진 3성분 계의 PIT에 해당하는 $52^{\circ}C$에서 n-hexadecane이 73.4% 제거되었으며, 반면에 PIT보다 낮은 $25^{\circ}C$와 PIT보다 높은 $60^{\circ}C$에서의 n-hexadecane 제거율은 각각 57.1%, 57.0%를 나타내었다. 이와 같이 PIT조건에서 n-hexadecane이 최대로 가용화되는 것은 계의 소수성-친수성이 균형을 이룸으로 인하여 유기물이 가용화되는 속도가 매우 빠를 뿐 아니라 middle-phase microemulsion과 excess oil phase 사이에 존재하는 $10^{-2}{\sim}10^{-3}dyne/cm$의 매우 낮은 계면장력때문인 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 보조계면활성제 첨가가 nonylphenol ethoxylate (NP) 계면활성제, 물, 탄화수소 오일의 3성분으로 이루어진 시스템의 평형 및 동적 거동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 실험에서 사용한 펜탄올, 옥탄올, 데칸올 등의 보조계면활성제는 모두 소수성 첨가제로 작용하였으며, 소수성 증가 효과는 알코올의 사슬 길이 증가 및 첨가량 증가에 따라 증가하였다. 계면활성제 시스템이 친수적인 조건에서는 비극성 오일의 종류에 상관없이 시간에 따라 오일의 크기가 감소하였으며, 마이셀 용액에 의한 탄화수소 오일의 가용화는 diffusion-controlled 메커니즘이 아닌, interface-controlled 메커니즘을 따름을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면에 소수성 조건에서는 과포화로 인하여 일어나는 자발적 유화 현상과 물과 계면활성제의 오일상으로의 확산으로 인한 오일의 크기 증가가 관찰되었다. 비극성 탄화수소 오일과 계면활성제 수용액 사이의 시간에 따른 계면장력 측정 결과는 동적 거동 실험결과와 일치하는 경향을 나타내었다. 한편 middle-phase 마이크로에멀젼을 포함한 3상이 형성되는 조건에서는 매우 낮은 계면장력으로 인하여 오일이 수용액 상에 빠른 속도로 가용화되었고 작은 방울 형태로 유화되었다.
