  • 다양한 조성을 갖는 $CH_4+CO_2$ 혼합 기체 하이드레이트 샘플의 미세 구조 분석을 위하여 X-ray 회절 방법을 이용하였다. X-ray 회절 분석을 이용할 경우, 하이드레이트로의 전환율과 같은 정성적인 분석뿐 아니라 각 객체별 cage occupancy와 같은 정량적인 분석까지도 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이렇게 얻어진 X-ray 회절 분석 결과 및 refinement 결과를 $^{13}C$ 고체 NMR 방법과 교차 비교함으로써 측정 결과의 신뢰도를 높이려 하였다. 얻어진 분석 결과는 이후 가스 하이드레이트를 이용한 다양한 연구 분야에서 저장용량 평가 및 객체 점유율과 같은 미세 구조 정보를 얻는 데에 유용하게 사용될 것으로 전망된다.

  • The development of next-generation secondary batteries, including lithium-ion batteries (LIB), requires performance enhancements such as high energy/high power density, low cost, long life, and excellent safety. The discovery of new materials with such requirements is a challenging and time-consuming process with great difficulty. To pursue this challenging endeavor, it is pivotal to understand the structure and interface of electrode materials in a multiscale level at the atomic, molecular, macro-scale during charging / discharging. In this regard, various advanced material characterization tools, including the first-principle calculation, high-resolution electron microscopy, and synchrotron-based X-ray techniques, have been actively employed to understand the charge storage- and degradation-mechanisms of various electrode materials. In this article, we introduce and review recent advances in in-situ synchrotron-based x-ray techniques to study electrode materials for LIBs during thermal degradation and charging/discharging. We show that the fundamental understanding of the structure and interface of the battery materials gained through these advanced in-situ investigations provides valuable insight into designing next-generation electrode materials with significantly improved performance in terms of high energy/high power density, low cost, long life, and excellent safety.

  • We have investigated the X-ray emission from the shock-heated plasma of the Galactic supernova remnant Kesteven 69 with XMM-Newton. Assuming the plasma is at collisional ionization equilibrium, a plasma temperature and a column absorption are found to be kT ~ 0.62 keV and $N_H{\sim}2.85{\times}10^{22}\;cm^{-2}$ respectively by imaging spectroscopy. Together with the deduced emission measure, we place constraints on its Sedov parameters.

  • This study reviewed terahertz technologies of time domain spectroscopy, T-ray imaging, and high rate wireless data transfer. The main topics of the terahertz research area were investigation of materials and package modules for terahertz wave generation and detection, and setup of the terahertz system for time domain spectroscopy(TDS), T-ray imaging and sub-THz wireless communication. In addition to Poly-GaAs film as a photoconductive switching antenna material, a table-top scale for the THz-TDS/imaging system and terahertz continuous wave(CW) generation systems for sub-THz data transfer and narrow band T-ray imaging were designed. Dielectric properties of ferroelectric BSTO($Ba_xSr_{1-x}TiO_3$) films and chalcogenide glass systems were characterized with the THz-TDS system at the THz frequency range. Package modules for terahertz wave transmitter/receiver(Tx/Rx) photoconductive antenna were developed.

  • $Zn_{(1-x)}Ni_xAl_2O_4$ (x = 0.0-1.0) spinels were prepared at $800^{\circ}C$ by co-precipitation method and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The specific surface area was determined by BET. SEM image showed nano sized spherical particles. XPS confirmed the valence states of the metals, showing moderate Lewis character for the surface of materials. The powders were successfully used as new heterogeneous catalysts of Biginelli's reaction, a one-pot three-component reaction, leading to some dihydropyrimidinones (DHPMs). These new catalysts that produced good yields of DHPMs, were easily recovered by simple filtration and subsequently reused with persistent activity, and they are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. The optimum amount of catalyst is 20% by weight of benzaldehyde derivatives, while the doping amount has been found optimal for x = 0.1.

  • Changes in network structures of ${\alpha}-Nb_2O_5$ in the X MgO+(1-X) ${\alpha}-Nb_2O_5$ solid solutions occurring as the MgO doping level (X) was varied were investigated by means of infrared spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. X-ray diffraction revealed that all the synthesized specimens have the monoclinic structure. The FT-IR spectroscopy showed that the system investigated forms the solid solutions in which $Mg^{2+}$ ions occupy the octahedral sites in parent crystal lattice. Electrical conductivities were measured as a function of temperature from 600 to $1050{\circ}$ and $P_{O2}$ form $1{\times}10^{-5}$ to $2{\times}10^{-1}$ atm. The defect structure and conduction mechanism were deduced from the results. The $1}n$ value in ${\alpha}{\propto}{P_{O2}^{1}n}}$ is found to be -1/4 with single possible defect model. From the activation energy ($E{\alpha}$ = 1.67-1.73 eV) and the1/n value, electronic conduction mechanism is suggested with a doubly charged oxygen vacancy.

  • We presented the etch results of indium-tin oxide thin films by using SF$_{6}$/O$_2$gas electron cyclotron resonance plasma and conducted X-ray phtoelectron spectroscopy and quadrupole mass spectrometer analyses for the etch characteristics. The etch rate of the films was greatly dependent on that of oxygen which was the major constituent element of the films. The oxygen was removed by the forms like $O_2$or SOF$_2$. We examined the ratio of atomic content of O and In and the change of this ratio was related to the removal rate of InF$_{x}$ and the S-metal bonding.ing.

  • 반투명 전도성 음극 (semi-transparent conducting cathode)인 Ba (x nm)/Au (20 nm)/ITO (100 nm)을 이용하여 전면발광 유기전계 발광 소자 (top-emitting organic light-emitting didodes, TEOLEDs)를 제작했다. Ba과 bis(8-quinolinolato)aluminum (III) ($Alq_3$) 계면의 전자구조는 엑스선 광전자 분광법 (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS), 자외선 광전자 분광법 (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, UPS) 및 가까운 끝머리 엑스선 흡수 미세구조 (near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure, NEXAFS) 스펙트럼의 광 방출 특성을 통하여 조사되었다. $Alq_3$/Ba 계면 특성에 있어서 XPS와 NEXAFS 특성에 의하면, $Alq_3$ (10.0 nm) 위에 Ba이 연속적으로 증착됨에 따라 Ba으로부터 $Alq_3$로의 전자전달 (electron charge transfer) 특성은 꾸준희 증가된다. 그러나 Ba의 두께가 1.0 nm 이상 초과되면 Ba의 전자전달에 기인한 반응성때문에 $Alq_3$의 분자구조가 해리된다. 한편, 제작된 TEOLEDE의 전류-전압-휘도 곡선의 경우에서도 바륨의 증착 두께가 1.0 nm일 때 가장 우수한 구동특성을 나타냈다.
