  • self-aligned silicide(salicide)제조시 CoSi2의 에피텍셜 성장을 돕기 위하여 Co와 Si 사이에 내열금속층을 넣은 Co/내열금속/Si의 실리사이드화가 관심을 끌고 있다. Hf 역시 Ti와 마찬가지로 이러한 용도로 사용될 수 있다. 한편, Co/Hf 이중층 salicide 트랜지스터가 성공적으로 만들어지기 위해서는 spacer oxide 위에 증착된 Co/Hf 이중층이 열적으로 안정해야 한다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구에서는 SiO2기판 위에 증착한 Co 단일층과 Co/Hf 이중층을 급속열처리할 때 Co와 SiO2간의 계면과 Co/Hf와 SiO2간의 계면에서의 상호반응에 대하여 조사하였다. Co 단일층과 Co/Hf 이중층은 각각 $500^{\circ}C$$550^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 후 면저항이 급격하게 증가하기 시작하였는데, 이것은 Co층이 SiO2와의 계면에너지를 줄이기 위하여 응집되기 때문이다. 이 때 Co/Hf의 경우 열처리후 Hf에 의하여 SiO2 기판이 일부 분해됨으로써 Hf 산화물이 형성되었으나, 전도성이 있는 HfSix 등의 화합물은 발견되지 않았다.

  • 오래전부터, 많은 여성들은 자신들의 젊음을 연장하고, 외모를 더 아름답게 가꾸고, 이를 죽을 때까지 유지하는 것을 바래왔다. 이에 의사와 약사들뿐만 아니라, 많은 화장품 연구자들도 노화와 관련된 기술개발에 총력을 기울여 왔다. 따라서, 이들 연구자들은 노화방지를 위한 새로운 원료를 찾고, 이를 안정화하고, 피부로 전달하는 기술개발에 항상 관심을 쏟아왔다. 뛰어난 노화방지 화장품 개발을 위해서, Ubiquinone의 일종인 ldebenone에 대해 연구하였고, 이를 비수계 피부유사막 기술을 가지고 캡슐화하고 약물전달하는 연구를 진행하였다. 먼저, 편광현미경(PM, Polarized Microscope), X-선 회절분석(XRD, X-ray Diffractions) 및 시차주사열량계 (DSC, Differential Scanning Calorimetry)를 이용하여 Idebenone을 담지한 피부유사막 액정을 비수계 조건에서 구조 및 열적특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 비수계 조건에서도 규칙적으로 패킹(Packing)된 지질이중층(Lipid bilayer)과 용매의 연속층으로 이루어진 고밀집된 라멜라(Lamella) 구조의 형성유무와 이때의 상거동을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 높은 극성도로인해 물분자와 접촉하면 불안정해지는 경향이 있는 Idebenone을 비수계 조건에서 각질층(SC, Stratum Corneum)과 구조 및 조성이 유사한 피부유사막을 디자인하여 안정하게 캡슐화 하였다. 이를 적용한 화장품은 모든 보관조건에서 유화입자의 안정성을 유지함을 확인하였고, Idebenone의 활성역가 또한 $40^{\circ}C$에서 6개월 동안 약 90%이상을 유지하는 우수한 결과를 나타냈다.

  • 급속한 산업의 발달은 심각한 환경오염 및 에너지 문제를 가져왔다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 수소에너지에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있으며, 수소에너지를 생산하는 방법 중 하나로 태양에너지를 원천으로 하는 광촉매(photocatalyst)에 대한 연구가 점차적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 현재 광촉매로 가장 많이 사용되는 $TiO_2$의 경우, 뛰어난 광활성과 저렴한 가격, 광 안정성, 화학적 안정성을 가짐에도 불구하고, 3.2 eV라는 넓은 band gap을 가지기 때문에 385 nm 이상의 긴 파장을 갖는 가시광선은 흡수할 수 없다. 또한, 광촉매 반응과정 중 recombination으로 인한 효율의 손실이 크기 때문에 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 ICP-assisted DC magnetron sputtering 방법을 이용하여 높은 결정성을 갖는 $TiO_2$ 박막을 제조하였다. 제작된 $TiO_2$ 박막은 높은 광촉매 특성을 나타냈으며, 또한 $TiO_2$의 anatase phase와 rutile phase의 bilayer structure를 통하여 recombination을 감소시킴으로써 높은 효율을 갖는 광촉매를 제작하였다. 박막의 chemical state와 crystallinity를 확인하기 위하여 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy와 X-ray diffractometer를 이용하여 분석을 수행하였으며, 물 분해 장치(water splitting device)를 제작하여 수소와 산소 생성시 흐르는 전류를 측정하여 광촉매 특성을 평가하였다.

  • 본 연구는 플라즈마 전해 산화 (PEO) 및 RF (Radio Frequency) 스퍼터링을 이용한 2 단계 접근법에 의해 처리 된 MgO / Ni-Cr의 고내식성 이중층 코팅을 제조하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 $100mA/cm^2$ 교류 조건에서 180 s PEO를 한 후 150W 에서 900s RF 스퍼터링을 수행 하였다. 코팅의 형태는 주사전자현미경(SEM)을 사용하여 관찰되었으며 코팅의 상조성은 X-선 회절(XRD) 및 X-선 광전자 분광법(XPS)을 사용하여 분석하였다. SEM 이미지는 스퍼터링 된 Ni-Cr이 크랙의 대부분과 미세한 미세 공극을 덮어 코팅 결함이 감소함을 보여 주었다. 따라서, 코팅 된 샘플의 거칠기 값은 스퍼터링 공정 후에 감소되었다. 단면 이미지로부터, 스퍼터링된 코팅층은 낮은 두께 때문에 거의 검출되지 않았다. EDS, XRD 및 XPS를 사용한 조성 분석은 금속 상태의 형태로 Ni 및 Cr 존재를 나타내었고 XPS에서 NiCr2O4 부동태 피막이 검출되었다. MgO / Ni-Cr 이중층 코팅의 내부식성은 MgO / Ni-Cr 이중층을 가진 샘플의 금속 원소와 비교하여 우수한 부식 특성을 나타내는 전위 역학적 분극 시험 및 전기 화학적 임피던스 분광법으로 평가 하였다.

  • The size and surface effects on the magnetism of a fcc Fe (001) surface was investigated by performing firstprinciples calculations on 3, 5, 7, and 9 monolayers fcc Fe (001) single slabs with two different two-dimensional lattice constants, ${\alpha}=3.44{\AA}$ (System I) and 3.65 ${\AA}$ (System II), using the all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within a generalized gradient approximation. The surface layers were coupled ferromagnetically to the subsurface layer in both systems. However, the magnetism of the inner layers was quite different from each other. While all the inner layers of System II were ferromagnetically coupled in the same way as the surface layer, the inner layers of System I showed a peculiar magnetism, bilayer antiferromagnetism. The calculated spin magnetic moments per Fe atom were approximately 2.7 and 2.9 ${\mu}_B$ at the surface for Systems I and II, respectively, due to the almost occupied Fe d-state being in the majority spin state and band narrowing. The spin orientations of System I were out-of-plane regardless of its thickness, whereas the orientation of System II changed from out-of-plane to in-plane with increasing thickness.

  • A series of Fe/CeO$_2$/Fe$_{75}$Co$_{25}$ tunnel junctions (Magnetic Tunnel Junction, MTJ) having CeO$_2$ barrier layers from 30 to 90$\AA$ in thickness were prepared by ion beam sputtering (IBS) method. In order to compare the properties of MTJs, Fe/Al oxide/Fe-Co tunnel junctions were also prepared. Some junctions with a CeO$_2$ barrier layer showed the ferromagnetic tunneling effect and the highest MR ratio at room temperature was 5%. The electric resistance of junctions with a CeO$_2$ barrier layer was higher that that of junctions with an Al oxide barrier. On the other hand, The interface analysis of the Fe/CeO$_2$ bilayer was conducted by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that CeO$_2$ was decomposed to Ce and $O_2$ during sputtering, and Fe was oxidized with these decomposed $O_2$ molecules. The reduction of both electric resistance and MR ratio may be associated with the decomposed Ce in the barrier layer.r.r.

  • There is great interest in developing magnetoresistance(MR) sensor, using ferromagnetic, electrically non-magnetic conducting and antiferromagnetic films, especially for the use in weak magnetic fields. Here, we report single and Wheatstone-bridge type of MR sensors made in Si(001)/NiO($300{\AA}$)/NiFe bilayers. Angular dependence of MR profiles was measured in Si(001)/NiO($300{\AA}$)/NiFe($450{\AA})$ films as a function of an angle between current and applied field direction, also, linearity was determined. AMR characteristics of single MR sensors was well explained with single domain model. Good linearity in $45^{\circ}$ Wheatstone-bridge type of MR sensors consisting of 4 single MR sensors made in Si(001)/NiO($300{\AA}$)/NiFe($450{\AA})$ was shown in the range of about ${\leq}{\pm}5$ Oe.

  • Although, there are several research studies on the engineering of the graphene layers using different etching techniques, there is not any comprehensive study on the effects of using different etching masks in the reactive ion etching (RIE) method on the quality and uniformity of the etched graphene films. This study investigated the effects of using polystyrene and conventional photolithography resist as a etching mask on the engineering of the number of graphene layers, using RIE. The effects were studied using Raman spectroscopy. This analysis indicated that the photo-resist mask is better than the polystyrene mask because of its lower post processing effects on the graphene surface during the RIE process. A single layer graphene was achieved from a bi-layer graphene after 3 s of the RIE process using oxygen plasma, and the bi-layer graphene was successfully etched after 6 s of the RIE process. The bilayer etching time was significantly smaller than reported values for graphene flakes in previous research.

  • Spherical phospholipid-bilayers, vesicles, were prepared using the layer-by-layer double emulsion technique, which allows the bilayer to be formed asymmetrically. On the outer layer of the vesicles, the phospholipase D (PLD) reacted to convert phosphatidylcholine (PC) to phosphatidic acid (PA). The reaction induced the curvature change of the vesicles, which eventually led to rupture. The response time from the time of PLD injection to the time of rupture was measured against different vesicle curvatures and the outer layer phase, using the fluorescence intensity change of a pH-sensitive dye encapsulated within the vesicles. The effect of the vesicle curvature on the response was observed to be more significantly dramatic at the solid phase, compared to the liquid phase. Furthermore, in the solid phase, the response time was faster for 80 and 155 nm vesicles and, slower for 605 nm vesicles than similarly sized vesicles in the liquid phase vesicles. This difference in the response time was thought to result from the configuration determined by the phase difference and the PLD behavior.
