Carbon nanotube emitters is very promising electron emitter for electron beam applications. We introduced the carbon nanotube electron beam (C-beam) exposure technic using triode structure. As a source, the electron beam emit from CNT emitters placed at the cathode by high electric field. Through the gate mesh, with high accelerating energy, the electron can be extracted easily and impact at the anode plate. For thin film modification, after the C-beam exposure on the amorphous silicon thin film, we found phase changes and it showed a high crystallinity from the Raman measurement. We expect that this crystallized film will be a good candidate as a new active layer of TFT.

Molecular dynamics simulations on the deformation behavior of single-walled carbon nanotube are performed. Formation energies of CNT's by interatomic potentials are computed and compared with ab initio results. Bending and axial compression are applied under lattice statics and NVT ensemble conditions. Specifically, we focus on the mechanism of kink formation in bending. The simulation results are comprehensively explained in the framework of atomistic energetics. The effects of temperature and chirality on the deformation of carbon nanotube are also studied.

Simulations of the buckling behavior of a single wall carbon nanotube(SWCNT) was carried out using molecular dynamics simulation. Molecular dynamics simulations were done with 1fs of time step. Tersoff's potential function was used as the interatomic potential function since it has been proved to be reliable to describe the C-C bonds in carbon nanotubes. Compressive force was applied by moving the top end of the nanotube at a constant velocity. Buckling behavior under compressive load was observed for (15,15) armchair SWCNTs with 2nm of diameter and 24.9nm of length. Buckling load and critical strain is obtained from the MD simulation. Deformation occurred on the top region of the CNT because of fast downward velocity.

현재 탄소나노튜브 (carbon nanotube, CNT)를 여러 분야에 응용하기 위해 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 단일벽 CNT (single-walled CNT)를 여러 가지 계면활성제로 최적 분산시킨 수용액으로부터 제조한 투명 전도성 필름을 터치스크린이나 디스 플레이 소자에 응용할 목적으로 필름의 전기저항 및 광 투과도를 향상시키기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 우선 계면활성제로 분산시킨 정량의 CNT 수용액을 알루미나 재질의 필터에서 진공 필터링하여 CNT 필름을 제조하였다. 알루미나 필터를 sodium hydroxide (NaOH) 수용액으로 용해시켜 제거하여 얻은 CNT 필름을 유리기판 위에 부착시켰다. 필름의 전기저항을 낮추기 위해 유리기판 위에 부착된 CNT 필름을 질산($HNO_3$) 용액으로 처리하였다. Scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy를 이용하여 각각 필름의 형상과 광투과도를 분석하였고, 4-point probe로 면 저항을 측정하였다. 계면활성제로 분산시킨 대부분의 CNT 필름의 면 저항은 질산 처리에 의해 감소하였다. 이는 CNT 표면에 코팅되어 있던 계면활성제가 질산에 의해 제거되었기 때문인 것으로 예상된다. 그리고 anionic 계면활성제를 이용한 필름이 대체로 낮은 면 저항을 보였고, 그중 분산력이 가장 좋은 sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate(SDBS)가 최저의 면 저항을 나타내었다. 질산처리에서 Polyvinyl pyrrolidone(PVP)과 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB)를 사용하여 제조한 CNT 필름의 면 저항이 가장 뚜렷한 감소를 보였다.

As people are being exposed to many types of fast food, rancid oil is a factor affecting public health. Monitoring of rancidity in frying oils needs to be done adequately. The chemical methods that are currently used require long periods of time and expertise. The development of a device that quickly and easily measures rancidity would be helpful to manage rancidity in frying oils adequately. Due to the fact that carbon nanotube (CNT) is sensitive to acid value, we used CNT as a sensing material for detecting oil rancidity. Polyethylenimine (PEI) was coated on CNT for stable measurements. Experiments were conducted at $100^{\circ}C$ after samples were cooled from $180^{\circ}C$. The results showed a strong correlation between acid values and resistances using CNT sensors. As the acid value of oils increased, the resistance of CNT sensors increased. Development of sensors using CNT may make it possible to determine the rancidity of frying oils in real-time and on site.

Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) particles deposited on different quantitative Fe-treated carbon nanotube (CNT) composites with high photocatalytic activity of visible light were prepared by a modified sol-gel method using TNB as a titanium source. The composites were characterized by BET, XRD, SEM, TEM and EDX, which showed that the BET surface area was related to the adsorption capacity for each composite. From TEM images, surface and structural characterization of for the CNT surface had been carried out. The XRD results showed that the Fe-ACF/$TiO_2$ composite mostly contained an anatase structure with a Fe-mediated compound. EDX results showed the presence of C, O, and Ti with Fe peaks in the Fe-CNT/$TiO_2$ composites. The photocatalytic activity of the composites was examined by degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution under visible light, which was found to depend on the amount of CNT. The highest photocatalytic activity among the different composites was related to the optimal content of CNT in the Fe-CNT/$TiO_2$ composites. In particular, the photocatalytic activity of the Fe-CNT/$TiO_2$ composites under visible light was better than that of the CNT/$TiO_2$ composites due to the introduction of Fe particles.

Nickel oxide(NiO) thin films, nanorods, and carbon nanotube(CNT)/NiO core-shell nanorod structures are fabricated by sputtering Nickel at different deposition time on alumina substrates or single wall carbon nanotube templates followed by oxidation treatments at different temperatures, 400 and $700^{\circ}C$. Structural analyses are carried out by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. NiO thinfilm, nanorod and CNT/NiO core-shell nanorod structurals of the gas sensor structures are tested for detection of $H_2S$ gas. The NiO structures exhibit the highest response at $200^{\circ}C$ and high selectivity to $H_2S$ among other gases of NO, $NH_3$, $H_2$, CO, etc. The nanorod structures have a higher sensing performance than the thin films and carbon nanotube/NiO core-shell structures. The gold catalyst deposited on NiO nanorods further improve the sensing performance, particularly the recovery kinetics.

Carbon nanotube supported molybdenum carbide catalysts were prepared as a function of various preparation conditions and characterized, and their catalytic activities were compared through electrochemical oxidation of methanol. To overcome the low activity of a transition metal catalyst, carbon nanotube was used as a support, and the amount and the kind of precursors, acid treatment method, and carburization temperature were varied for the catalyst preparation. ICP-AES, XRD and TEM were used for the catalyst characterization. Based on the various preparation methods of carbon nanotube supported molybdenum carbide catalysts ($Mo_2C/CNT$), the size and the amount of supported catalysts could be controlled, and their effects on the electrochemical oxidation could be explained.

To develop chemical and biosensors, this paper studies sensing characteristics of bulk carbon nanotube (CNT) electrodes by means of their electrical impedance properties due to their large surface area and excellence chemical absorptivity. The sensors were fabricated in the form of film and nano web style by using composite process for mass production. The bulk composite electrodes were fabricated with singlewall and multi-wall carbon nanotubes based on host polymers such as Nafion and PAN, using a solution-casting and an electrospinning technique. The resistance and the capacitance of electrodes were measured with LCR meter under the various amounts of buffer solution to study the electrical impedance change properties of them. On the experimental of sensor electrode, impedance characteristics of the composite electrode are affected by its host polymer and nanofiller and its sensing response showed saturated result after applying some amounts of buffer solution for test chemical. Especially, the capacitance values showed drastic changes while the resistance values only changed within few percent range. It is deduced that the ions in the solution penetrated and diffused into the electrodes surface changed the electrical properties of the electrodes much like a doping effect.
