The photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of the silicon-oxygen(Si-O) superlattice formed by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) were studied. To confirm the presence of the nanocrystalline Si structure, Raman scattering measurement was performed. The blue shift was observed in the PL peak of the oxygen-annealed sample, compared to the hydrogen-annealed sample, which is due to a contribution of smaller crystallites. Our results determine the right direction for the fabrication of silicon-based optoelectronic and quantum devices as well as for the replacement of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) in high-speed and low-power silicon MOSFET devices in the future.

We examine the performance of a Raman amplifier as a function of fiber structure with respect to amplifier gain and double Rayleigh crosstalk penalty. Variations on fiber core radius or index affect both the Raman gain efficiency and Rayleigh backscattering. Contrary to the common concept, the penalty from the doubly amplified Rayleigh scattering could exceed the benefits of higher gain efficiency of small effective area fibers. Appropriate fiber designing parameters are required to increase Raman amplifier efficiency without system penalties. lties.

We can classify two cases in a way to observe an atom of gas state or a molecule using the laser. First case is way to use dispersion phenomenon like Rayleigh scattering, Thomson scattering, Mie scattering, Raman Scattering. And Second case is a way to use change phenomenon like a LAS (Laser Absorption Spectroscopy), LIF (Laser Induced Fluorescent). In this paper, we have measured the meta-stable density and the distribution by using a LAS method in Xe discharge lamp. The laser absorption spectroscopy (LAS) is useful to investigate the behavior of such species. The xenon atoms in the $1S_4$ and $1S_5$ generate excited $Xe^*$(147nm) and $Xe_{2}^*$(173nm) dimers in Xe plasma. It is found that the intensity of VUV 147nm emission is proportional to that of the IR 828nm emission, and the VUV 173nm emission is roughly proportional to that of the IR 823nm emission. The laser is used CW laser that consist of AlGaAs semiconductor and energy level is used 823.16nm wavelength. We measured signal of monochrometer from the lamp center while will change a discharge electric current by 6mA in 3mA and calculated meta-stable state density of a xenon atom through a measured value.

최근 의료, 보건, 헬스케어 분야에 대한 관심이 증가함에 따라 질병의 조기 진단 연구가 각광 받고 있다. 특히 표면증강 라만 산란 (Surface Enhancement Raman scattering)은 고분자 검출을 위해 가장 유용한 물리 화학적 기법으로 SERS를 활용한 특정물질 검출 기술 개발에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 나노구조의 국부적 표면 플라즈몬의 공명조건 (Surface Plasmon Resonance, SPR)으로 유도된 전자기장은 우수한 SERS 신호를 나타낸다. 따라서 표면 플라즈몬 공명 효과는 귀금속 나노입자의 종류, 크기 및 형태, 기판의 형상 및 구조 등에 의해서 달라지게 되므로 이들을 조절하여 보다 민감한 SERS 신호를 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 고감도 SERS-Active 기판을 제작하기 위해 SERS 기판 표면의 나노구조를 최적화 하였다. SERS 기판 표면을 제어하기 위해 공정파워, 공정압력, 기판의 온도 등의 증착공정 변수에 변화를 주어 표면의 나노구조를 형성하였다. 이를 분석하기 위해 SEM 분석을 통해 피라미드형 실리콘 기판 표면의 Au 나노구조 금속 박막을 확인하였고, XRD를 이용하여 결정성 및 결정크기를 확인하였다. Rhodamine 6G를 이용한 라만 분석을 통해 SERS 신호의 강도를 알 수 있었다. 금속 나노구조의 형태, 온도 제어를 통해 SERS 신호강도가 우수한 나노구조 기판을 제조 할 수 있었다.

It has been recently reported that the SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering) effect of the silver mirror substrate made by Tollen's method is much superior to that of other substrates. In this study, the experiments for comparison of surface enhancement of silver sol and silver mirror substrates were done, where we checked the characteristics of silver mirror substrate made by Tollen's method. The surface enhancement of fluorescein was analyzed by silver sol and silver mirror substrates. We observed the SERS spectra of fluorescein. The assignments of the vibrational bands shown in SERS spectra are given based on both literature and the semi-empirical calculations at the PM3 methods. The surface enhancement properties for fluorescein showed that the silver mirror was more superior to sliver sol substrates. Spectra of fluorescein revealed that fluorescein was adsorbed on silver surfaces by a common oxygen atom. According to the 'surface selection rule', the vibrations in the band intensities reflect the adsorption orientation of the molecule on to the surface of SERS substrates. Therefore, we deduced that the adsorption orientation of fluorescein was little tilted perpendicular to the silver surfaces by using of the surface selection rules.

$(1-x)BaTiO_3+(x)Cd_5(PO_4)_3Cl$ ceramics were prepared by the conventional ceramic technique, i.e., solid state reaction at high temperature. The concentration of $Cd_5(PO_4)_3C$ was varied from 0.01 to 0.15 mole fraction. In order to study the phase transitions of our ceramics, the Raman scattering spectra were measured as functions of concentration x and temperature. It was found that the soluble limit of $Cd_5(PO_4)_3Cl$ in $BaTiO_3$ was the x=0.05 composition and $BaTiO_3$ phase disappeared above x=0.10. A new phase identified as $Ba_4Ti_3P_2O_{15}$ was detected in all samples of our compositions. The Curie temperature shifts up to $130^{\circ}C$ as the concentration x increases from zero to 0.05 and shift down to $95^{\circ}C$ as further increases to 0.08. For the increase of the Curie temperature, it is suggested that it can result from the inhibition of displacement of $Ti^{4+}$ in the distorted octahedron due to well dispersed $Ba_4Ti_3P_2O_{15}$ and $Cd_5(PO_4)_3Cl$ phase.

In order to monitor in situ electrochemical reaction we prepared the gold microshells on silica microspheres of $2{\mu}m$ in diameter which were able to not only work as electrodes but also surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active substrates. Previously reported gold microshell using polystyrene as core material have a few serious problems, mostly coming from solubility in organic solvent, nonuniform distribution in size and toxicity of the polystyrene. Here we prepared silica core-gold microshell to obtain a strong SERS active platform benefitting from the physicochemical stability, uniformity and non-toxicity of silica. Varying the concentration of 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES), the surfaces of silica beads were modified and the optimal condition was determined to be 1% APTES that made the SERS activity of gold microshell strongest. The gold microshells as made were characterized by homemade Micro-Raman system spectrometer, Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope.

Recently developed technique of measuring minor species concentration by using the modulation dip in broadband CARS has been applied to the flame structure study of methane/air premixed flames in a counterflow. This method used the modulation dip from the cold band CO Q-branch resonant signal superimposed on the nonresonant background. The measured CO concentration profile in a symmetric and unsymmetric methane/air premixed flames together with the velocity and temperature by using LDV and CARS have been compared with the numerical results adopting detailed chemistry modeling. The results show that there is a satisfactory agreement between the experimental data and numerical results for velocities, temperatures and CO concentrations. And the modulation dip technique of measuring minor species, such as CO is a viable tool for a quantitative measurement in a flame.

Bioinspired hierarchical nanostructures for self-cleaning s-tnwjurface and SERS substrates are investigated. The multi-level hierarchy is combined with CuO nanowire and additional nanoscale structures. CuO nanowire, which has extremely high aspect ratio, serves as a base structure of multi-level hierarchy and additional flower like structures are placed on the CuO nanowires. Since as-fabricated CuO nanostructures are hydrophilic, the surface is coated with perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane in order to change its wetting property to hydrophobic. While those CuO based nanostructures have a sufficient roughness for superhydrophobic characteristics, hierarchical nanoflowers on nanowire structures lead to a self-cleaning surface. Furthermore, flower like nanostructures provide reentrant curvatures, thus enabling oleophobic property. The surfaces has a repellency even for a tiny droplet (10 nL) of low surface tension liquids (~35 mN/m). On the on hands, nanoflowers provide many number of nanoscale gaps. After a thin layer of silver is deposited on the surface of CuO nanostructures, those nanoscale gaps act as hot-spot for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). To analyze SERS enhancement of the surfaces, Raman shift is measured with varying molar density of 4-Mercaptopyridine from mM to pM. From these results, hierarchical CuO nanostructures are suitable for self-maintenance and cost effective SERS sensing applications.

RR~Telescopii is a symbiotic nova exhibiting accretion activities through gravitational capture of the slow stellar wind from a Mira variable. We present high resolution spectra of RR~Tel obtained with MIKE and the 6.5 m Magellan-Clay telescope, in which we find broad features with FWHM exceeding $10{\AA}$ at 6545, 6825, 7082, 7023 and $7053{\AA}$. They are formed through Raman-scattering with atomic hydrogen of far-UV He II 1025, O~VI 1032, $1038{\AA}$ and C II 1036 and $1037{\AA}$. We compute the Raman conversion efficiencies using the case B recombination theory for He II emissions, which are used in turn to infer the intrinsic line luminosities of O VI and C II. The Raman O~VI features are characterized by double-peaked profiles with a peak separation ~ 60km/s, pointing out the presence of an accretion disk with a physical size of ~ sub AU. In contrast, Raman C II features exhibit profiles with a simple peak and a narrower width ~40 km/s, indicating that C II is formed in a much more extended region. The weak C II multiplet at 1335, $1336{\AA}$ found in the IUE spectral archive and the absence of C II 1036, $1037{\AA}$ in the FUSE archive show that far-UV C II lines suffer heavy interstellar extinction consistent with the distance of ~ 2.5 kpc to RR Tel.
