The $Y_{1-x}(P_{1-y-z}Nb_yV_z)O_4:Eu_x$ blue and red emitting phosphors were prepared by the combinatorial chemistry method. The combinatorial library was designed to investigate the luminescence of the $Y_{1-x}(P_{1-y-z}Nb_yV_z)O_4:Eu_x$ phosphors under 254 nm and 147 nm excitations. In addition, the crystallinity and morphology of phosphors were checked by XRD and SEM. Based on the results from the combinatorial screenings, luminescent properties of phosphors are strongly dependent on the concentration of doping metal ions. It was found that a new phosphor $Y_{0.88}(P_{0.92}Nb_{0.05}V_{0.03})O_4:Eu_{0.12}$ shows excellent luminescent efficiency comparing to the $Y_{0.88}PO_4:Eu_{0.12}$ red phosphor.

A series of phosphors, SrWO₄:5 mol% Dy³⁺, SrWO₄:5 mol% Sm³⁺, and SrWO₄:5 mol% Dy³⁺:x Sm³⁺ (x＝1~15 mol%), were prepared using a facile co-precipitation. The crystal structure, morphology, photoluminescence properties, and application in anti-counterfeiting fields were investigated. The crystalline structures of the prepared phosphors were found to be tetragonal systems with the dominant peak occurring at the (112) plane. The excitation spectra of the Dy³⁺ singly-doped SrWO₄ phosphors were composed of an intense charge-transfer band centered at 246 nm in the range of 210~270 nm and two weak peaks at 351 nm and 387 nm due to the ⁶H_15/2→⁶P_7/2 and ⁶H_15/2→⁴I_13/2 transitions of Dy³⁺ ions, respectively. The wavelength of 246 nm was optimum for exciting the luminescence of Dy³⁺ and Sm³⁺ co-doped SrWO₄ phosphors. The emission spectra consisted of two intense blue and yellow emission bands at 480 nm and 573 nm corresponding to the ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2 transitions of Dy³⁺, and two strong emission peaks at 599 nm and 643 nm originating from the ⁴G_5/2→⁶H_7/2 and ⁴G_5/2→⁶H_9/2 transitions of Sm³⁺, respectively. As the concentration of Sm³⁺ ions increased, the emission intensities of Dy³⁺ rapidly decreased, while the emission intensities of Sm³⁺ gradually increased. These results suggest that the color of the emission light can be tuned from yellow to white by changing the concentration of Sm³⁺ ions at a fixed 5 mol% Dy³⁺. Furthermore, the fluorescent security inks were synthesized for use in anti-counterfeiting applications.

$(Ca,Sr)_{2-y}MgSi_2O_7:Eu^{2+}{_y}$ (CMS) phosphor particles were prepared by using a spray pyrolysis process. The luminescent property was optimized by changing the content of Eu and the post-treatment temperature. The luminescence characteristics were also monitored with changing the ratio of Ca to Sr. The pure tetragonal $Ca_2MgSi_2O_7$ or $Sr_2MgSi_2O_7$ particles were obtained when the post-treatment temperature was over $1,000^{\circ}C$. The highest emission intensity of CMS particles were achieved when the concentration (y) of Eu and the treatment temperature were 0.05 and $1,250^{\circ}C$,respectively. The emission wavelength $({\lambda}_{max})$ of ${(Ca_{1-x},Sr_x)}_{1.95}MgSi_2O_7:{Eu^{2+}}_{0.05}$ was gradually shifted from 524 nm to 456 nm with increasing the content of Sr due to the reduction of crystal field strength. The emission intensity and its width of $Sr_2MgSi_2O_7:Eu$ was greatly enhanced by substituting Ca of less than 10 mol％ for Sr without any significant peak shift. The morphology of as-prepared particles was spherical, but changed to irregular-shaped one after the post treatment at the temperature range from 900 at $1,300^{\circ}C$.

Blue-emitting $Sr_{10}$($PO$)$_{6}$ $Cl_2$:$Eu^{2+}$ and $_{(Sr,Mg) }$ 10/($PO_4$)$_{6}$ $Cl_2$:$Eu^{2+}$ phosphor particles for application of long-wavelength UV LED were prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. The luminescence characteristics under long- wave-length ultraviolet of the $Sr_{10}$ ($PO_4$)$_{6}$ $Cl_2$:$Eu^{2+}$ and (Sr,Mg)$_{10}$ ($PO_4$)$_{6}$ $Cl_2$:$^Eu{2+}$ phosphor particles prepared by the spray pyrolysis were compared with that of the commercial product. The PL intensity of the $Sr_{10}$ ($PO_4$)$_{6}$ $Cl_2$:$Eu^{2+}$ particles prepared by the spray pyrolysis was lower than that of the commercial $Sr_{10}$ ($PO_4$)$_{6}$ $Cl_2$:$Eu^{2+}$ particles because prepared $Sr_{10}$ ($PO_4$)$_{6}$ $Cl_2$:$Eu^{2+}$ phosphor particles had porous structure and hollow morphology. However, the PL intensity of the (Sr,Mg)$_{10}$($PO_4$)$_{6}$ $Cl_2$:$Eu^{2+}$ phosphor particles prepared by the spray pyrolysis was 8% higher than that of the commercial one. The high brightness of $(Sr,Mg)_{10}$ ($PO_4$)$_{6}$ $Cl_2$:Eu$^{2+}$ phosphor particles prepared by spray pyrolysis is due to the dense structure and high crystallinity of particles. The TEX>$(Sr,Mg)<_{10}$ ($PO_4$)$_{6}$ /$Cl_2$:$Eu^{ 2+}$ phosphor particles had main emission peak t 448 nm under long- wavelength ultraviolet.

Nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide (NO) pathway is a major alternative source of NO and is essential for NO - dependent physiological functions in body. Food supplements having nitrate/nitrite can improve metabolic syndromes including hypertension through antioxidant activity or vasodilation. The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of fermented garlic (F. garlic) having high concentration of NO2- on changes in blood flow and nitric oxide synthesis in the cerebral cortex of rodents. The generation of nitric oxide detected by a chemi-luminescence detector was higher in F. Garlic compared with NaNO2 solution under artificial gastric juice with pH 2.0. Ether F. garlic or NaNO2 diluted with artificial cerebrospinal fluid was directly applied into around the needle probe of laser Doppler flow meter that was located on epidural surface of the cortex. Direct application of F. garlic resulted in increase of cerebral blood flow detected by a laser Doppler flow meter with a dose-dependent manner. Compared with NaNO2 solution, F. garlic produced changes in cerebral blood flow at lower concentration of NO2-. Pretreatment of methylene blue, a guanylyl cyclase inhibitor prevented upregulation of cerebral blood flow by the treatment of F. garlic. In addition, the application of F. garlic with 250, 500ppm of NO2- caused significantly the production of NO in the cortical tissue but NaNO2 solution with 500ppm of NO2- did not. In summary, these results suggested that F. garlic with high content of NO2- induce increase in cerebral blood flow through nitric oxide-dependent signal pathway.

반도체 기반 양자점 (QD)소재와 CsPbX3 (X=Cl, Br, I)기반 perovskite 양자점 또는 나노결정 소재(PNC)는 매우 우수한 양자효율과 좁은 발광 선폭으로 고색재현성 디스플레이 색변환 소재 또는 발광 소재로서 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나, 기존 화학적 합성법을 통해 제조되는 QD 및 PNC 소재는 취약한 열 및 화학적 안정성으로 인해 장기 내구성의 개선이 요구된다. 이들 QD 및 PNC 소재는 모두 완전 무기 소재인 산화물 기반 유리 소재내에 생성이 가능하며, 이를 통해 장기 내구성을 근본적으로 개선할 수 있다. 반도체 기반 QD 함유 유리소재 (QDEG)의 경우, 유리 내 core/shell 구조를 가진 QD의 생성으로 양자효율의 향상이 가능했으나, 콜로이드 기반 양자점 (cQD)과 달리 다중 shell의 형성이 어려워 양자효율이 제한되고, 발광 선폭이 넓어 고색재현성 디스플레이용 색변환 소재로 적용되기에는 아직 한계가 있다. 한편, Perovskite 양자점 (또는 나노결정) 함유 유리소재 (PNEG) 소재는 QDEG과 달리 콜로이드 기반의 PNC (c-PNC)가 가지는 우수한 양자효율과 20 nm 수준의 좁은 선폭을 유리 내에서도 가지며, c-PNC 대비 열적, 화학적 및 광학적 안정성이 획기적으로 향상되어 실질적인 응용 가능성을 높이고 있다. 특히, 일반적인 용융-급랭법으로 제조하여 대량생산에 용이하고, 분말 또는 판상 등 다양한 형태로의 제작이 가능한 장점이 있다. 현재까지 제조된 PNEG의 최대 PL-QY는 450 nm 여기 시 녹색 및 적색에서 약 60% 수준이며, Al₂O₃ 분말을 이용할 경우 최대 80% 수준까지 달성이 가능하다. 또한, PNEG과 blue LED를 이용하여 백색 LED를 구현할 경우 color filter를 적용하지 않을 때, NTSC 대비 최대 약 130 % 수준의 높은 색재현 영역을 보여 주고 있으며, 실제 LCD용 BLU로 적용 시 기존 상용 c-QD 소재와 동등 이상의 색재현 영역을 보이고 있어, 실질적인 응용 가능성이 매우 높음을 확인하였다. PNEG의 상업적인 응용을 위해서는 몇 가지 추가적인 연구 개발이 필요하다. 기존 c-QD 또는 c-PNC는 나노 수준 크기의 입자가 액상에 분산된 형태로 입도 제어가 용이하나, PNEG의 경우 분말 제조 시 유리 형성 후 분쇄를 통해 제조되며, 입도가 대개 수십 ㎛ 이하로 작아질 경우 PL-QY가 저하되어, 향후 잉크젯 공정 응용을 위해서는 고효율의 분말 제조공정 개발이 필요하다. 또한, 유리 소재의 경우 절연체로서 기존 QD 소재 대비 electro-luminescence(EL) 소자의 활성층으로 사용하는데 제약이 있어 PNEG을 이용한 EL 소자 제작에 대한 연구도 필요하다. 마지막으로, 기존 c-PNC 소재와 같이 Pb가 함유되지 않은 PNEG 소재의 개발이 선결되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 해결 과제들에도 불구하고, PNEG 소재는 기존 c-QD 소재 대비 매우 우수한 안정성을 기반으로 고품위 고색재현 디스플레이용 색변환 소재로서 다양한 응용에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, a surface geological survey was first conducted to investigate aggregate resources in the Yeongam area of Jeollanam-do, and a drilling survey was conducted in the lower part of the surface, which was difficult to identify through a surface geological survey, to determine the spatial distribution of aggregates. Drilling sites were selected considering the topographical development and Quaternary alluvium characteristics of the study area, and river aggregate drilling surveys were conducted at a total of 5 points and land aggregate drilling surveys were conducted at a total of 28 points. Borehole core sediments were classified into seven sedimentary units to determine whether they could be used as aggregates, and optically stimulated luminescence dating was performed on representative boreholes to measure the depositional period for each sedimentary unit. As a result of the study, most of the Yeongam area had a very wide river basin, so it was estimated that there would be a large amount of aggregate, but the amount of aggregate was evaluated to be very small compared to other cities and counties. Most of the unconsolidated sedimentary layers in the Yeongam area are composed of blue-grey marine clay with a vertical thickness of more than 10 m. The sand-gravel layer corresponding to the aggregate section is distributed in the lower part of the marine clay, thinly covering the bedrock weathering zone. This is because the amount of aggregates themselves is small and most of the aggregates are distributed at a depth of 10 m below the surface, which is currently difficult to develop, so the possibility of developing aggregates is evaluated to be very low. As a result of dating, it can be seen that the blue-grey marine clay layer is an intertidal sedimentary layer formed as the sea level rose rapidly about 10,000 years ago. The deposition process continued from 10,000 years ago to the present, and as a result, a very thick clay layer was deposited. This clay layer was formed very dominantly for about 6,000 to 8,000 years, and the sand-gravel layer in the section where aggregates deposited in the Pleistocene period can exist was measured to have been deposited at about 13.0 to 19.0 ka, and about 50 ka, showing that it was deposited as paleo-fluvial deposits before the marine transgression process.

(In, Ga) N-based III-nitride semiconductor materials have been viewed as the most promising materials for the applications of blue and green light emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes. Although the InGaN alloy can have wide range of visible wavelength by changing the In composition, it is very hard to grow high quality epilayers of In-rich InGaN because of the thermal instability as well as the large lattice and thermal mismatches. In order to avoid phase separation of InGaN, various kinds of structures of InGaN have been studied. If high-quality In-rich InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) structures are available, it is expected to achieve highly efficient phosphor-free white LEDs. In this study, we proposed a novel InGaN double hetero-structure grown on GaN nano-pyramids to generate broad-band red-color emission with high quantum efficiency. In this work, we systematically studied the optical properties of the InGaN pyramid structures. The nano-sized hexagonal pyramid structures were grown on the n-type GaN template by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. SiNx mask was formed on the n-type GaN template with uniformly patterned circle pattern by laser holography. GaN pyramid structures were selectively grown on the opening area of mask by lateral over-growth followed by growth of InGaN/GaN double hetero-structure. The bird's eye-view scanning electron microscope (SEM) image shows that uniform hexagonal pyramid structures are well arranged. We showed that the pyramid structures have high crystal quality and the thickness of InGaN is varied along the height of pyramids via transmission electron microscope. Because the InGaN/GaN double hetero-structure was grown on the nano-pyramid GaN and on the planar GaN, simultaneously, we investigated the comparative study of the optical properties. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of nano-pyramid sample and planar sample measured at 10 K. Although the growth condition were exactly the same for two samples, the nano-pyramid sample have much lower energy emission centered at 615 nm, compared to 438 nm for planar sample. Moreover, nano-pyramid sample shows broad-band spectrum, which is originate from structural properties of nano-pyramid structure. To study thermal activation energy and potential fluctuation, we measured PL with changing temperature from 10 K to 300 K. We also measured PL with changing the excitation power from 48 ${\mu}W$ to 48 mW. We can discriminate the origin of the broad-band spectra from the defect-related yellow luminescence of GaN by carrying out PL excitation experiments. The nano-pyramid structure provided highly efficient broad-band red-color emission for the future applications of phosphor-free white LEDs.
