Because the stone cultural properties located outdoors, they have been altered and deteriorated in external appearance due to environmental factors. Damage to stone cultural properties is accelerated particularly due to recent industrial development and environmental pollution. When fresh granite was dipped into the seawater, the mineral compositions(Ca, K) of the granite surface were lower then those of the fresh granite and density of the weathered granite was steadily decreased from $2.600 g/cm^3$ to $2.580-2.582 g/cm^3$. Also, absorption capacity of the weathered granite was steadily increased from 0.392% to $0.526{\sim}0.616%$. In the case of $TiO_2$ was coated to the granite, the change of density and absorption ratio of $TiO_2$ coated granite were decreased. Therefore, the $TiO_2$ coating considered to be a viable method to assist in the conservation of stone cultural properties from environmental contaminants.

Quaternary Ti-Cr-Si-N coatings were synthesized onto steel substrates (SKD 11) using a hybrid method of arc ion plating (AIP) and sputtering techniques. For the Syntheses of Ti-Cr-Si-N coatings, the Ti-Cr-N coating process was performed substantially by a multi-cathodic AIP technique rising Cr and Ti targets, and Si was added by sputtering Si target during Ti-Cr-N deposition. In this work, comparative studies on microstructure and evaluation of mechanical properties between Ti-Cr-N and Ti-Cr-Si-N coatings were conducted. As the Si was incorporated into Ti-Cr-N coatings, the Ti-Cr-Si-N coatings showed largely increased hardness value of approximately 42 GPa than one of 28 GPa for Ti-Cr-N coatings. The average friction coefficient of Ti-Cr-N coatings largely decreased from 0.7 to 0.35 with increasing Si content up to 20 at. $\%$. In addition, wear behavior of Ti-Cr-N coatings against steel ball was much improved with Si addition due to the surface smoothening effect and tribe-chemical reaction.

본 논문에서는 DLC (Diamond-like carbon)박막이 가지는 높은 경도, 낮은 마찰계수, 전기적 절연성, 화학적 안정성 등의 특성을 이용하여, 리소그래피를 위한 resist나 hard coating물질로써 응용하기 위해, DLC 박막의 에칭에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. DLC 박막의 합성 과 에칭은 13.56 MHz RF plasma enhanced vapor deposition technique를 통해 이루어졌으며, DLC 박막은 150 W의 RF Power에서 메탄 $(CH_4)$과 수소$(H_2)$ 가스를 이용하여 약 300 nm의 두께로 제작되었으며, DLC박막의 에칭은 RF power의 변화 (50~250 W)와 산소 $(O_2)$가스의 유량변화 (5~25 sccm)에 따라 실시하였다. 에칭 되어진 DLC 박막의 표면 특성들은 AFM (atomic force microscopy)과 contact angle 장치를 사용하여 측정되었고, 측정된 결과로써 DLC 박막은 RF power와 산소 가스의 유량이 높을수록 etching rate는 증가하였고, 박막의 표면은 거칠어졌으며, 결국 DLC 표면에서는 산소에 의한 결합의 증가로 인해 친수성을 나타내었다.

The liquid crystal (LC) aligning capabilities treated on the Organic overcoat thin film surfaces by ion beam irradiation and rubbing method was successfully studied for the first time. The Organic overcoat layer was coated by spin-coating. In order to characterize the LC alignment, the microscope, pretilt angle, thermal stress, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) image was used. The good LC aligning capabilities treated on the Organic overcoat thin film surfaces with ion beam exposure of $45^{\circ}$ above ion beam energy density of 1200 eV can be achieved. But, the alignment of defect of NLC on the Organicovercoat surface at low energy density of 600 eV was measured. The pretilt angle of NLC on the Organic overcoat thin film surface with ion beam exposure of $45^{\circ}$ for 1 min at energy density of 1800eV was measured about 1.13 degree. But, low pretilt angles of NLC on the Organic overcoat thin film surface with ion beam exposure at energy density of 600, 1200, 2400, and 3000 eV was measured. Also, the pretilt angle of NLC on the rubbed Organic overcoat thin film surfaces was measured about 0.04 degrees. Finally, the good thermal stability of LC alignment on the Organic overcoat thin film surface with ion beam exposure of $45^{\circ}$ for 1 min can be measured.

This paper presents organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) semiconductor and several polymeric dielectric materials of poly(vinyl phenol)(PVP), poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA), and polyimide(PI) by using soluble process. The fabricated OTFT's have inverted staggered structure using transmission line method(TLM) pattern. In order to evaluate the electrical characteristics of the OTFT, capacitance-voltage(C-V) and current-voltage(I-V) were measured. C-V graphs were measured at several frequencies of 100 Hz, 1 kHz, and 1 MHz and ID-VDS graphs according to $V_{GS}$. The current on/off ratio and threshold voltage with each of PVP, PVA, and PI based OTFTs were measured to $10^3$, and -0.36, -0.41, and -0.62 V. Also, the calculated mobility with each of PVP, PVA, and PI was 0.097, 0.095, and 0.028 $cm^{2}V^{-1}s^{-1}$, respectively. In the cases of PVP and PVA, the hole mobility of P3HT was in excellent agreement with the published value of 0.1 $cm^{2}V^{-1}s^{-1}$.

In this paper, the purpose is to develop imaging technique of synchrotron radiation using CMOS image sensor. The detector using hybrid method to be research in this lab was used, in order to increase image signal. We made experiments with 1B2 Whitebeam/microprobe beamline in PAL (Pohang Accelerator Laboratory). Phosphor materials such as ZnS:(Ag,Li), ZnS:(Cu,Al), $Y_2O_2S:Eu$ were produced by spin coating on glass. Synchrotron radiation images were acquired and evaluated from monochromatic light from monochromoator in PAL 1B2line. From obtained object and phantom, MTF was 0.15 in ZnS:(Ag,Li) phosphor, and 0.178 in ZnS:( Cu,Al) at 151p/mm. MTFs were unsystematic because thickness of phosphor and uniformity of surface were not optimized. It's expected to improve MTF and the qualify of images as uniformity's optimized.

In this study, ultra thin films of ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (VF2-TrFE) copolymer were fabricated on degenerated Si (n+, $0.002\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$) using by spin coating method. A 1~5 wt% diluted solution of purified vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (VF2:TrFE=70:30) in a dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent were prepared and deposited on silicon wafers at a spin rate of 2000~5000rpm for 30 seconds. After annealing in a vacuum ambient at $200^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, upper gold electrodes were deposited by vacuum evaporation for electrical measurement. X-ray diffraction results showed that the VF2-TrFE films on Si substrates had $\beta$-phase of copolymer structures. The capacitance on $n^+$-Si(100) wafer showed hysteresis behavior like a butterfly shape and this result indicates clearly that the dielectric films have ferroelectric properties. The typical measured remnant polarization (2Pr) and coercive filed (EC) values measured using a computer controlled a RT-66A standardized ferroelectric test system (Radiant Technologies) were about $0.54\;C/cm^2$ and 172 kV/cm, respectively, in an applied electric field of ${\pm}0.75\;MV/cm$.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the most powerful materials for purifying organic pollutants using photocatalytic activity. In this study, we have introduced a novel method to design highly photoreactive flexible 3 dimensional (3D) ZnO nanocomposite [F-ZnO-m (m: reaction time, min)] by electrospinning and simple-step ZnO growth processing (one-step ZnO seed coating/growth processing). Significantly, the F-ZnO-m could be a new platform (or candidate) as a photocatalytic technology for both morphology control and largearea production. The highest photocatalytic degradation rate ([k]) was observed for F-ZnO-m at 2.552 h-1, which was 8.1 times higher than that of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs; [k] = 0.316 h-1). The enhanced photocatalytic activity of F-ZnO-m may be attributed to factors such as large surface area. The F-ZnO-m is highly recyclable and retained 98.6% of the initial decolorization rate after fifteen cycles. Interestingly, the F-ZnO-m samples show very strong antibacterial properties against both Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) after exposure to UV-light for 30 min. The antibacterial properties of F-ZnO-m samples are more effective than those of ZnO NPs. More than 96.6% of the E. coli is sterilized after ten cycles. These results indicate that F-ZnO-m samples might have utility in several promising applications such as highly efficient water/air treatment and inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms.

Titanium (Ti) is a bioinert material and has lower elastic coefficient and better strength/volume property than other metals. Ferroelectric materials show alignment of positive and negative charges by poling treatment. This study was purposed to develop a new implant system by combining the advantages of Ti and ferroelectric property of $BaTiO_3$ (BTO). It was performed with the assumption that the $Ca^{2+ }$ ions would be easily attracted on negatively charged surface and the attracted cation might behave as nuclei for bone-like crystal growth in biological solutions. A ferroelectric BTO thin film on Ti was fabricated and the effect of poling treatment on the improvement of calcium phosphate (Ca-P) formation in biological solutions was evaluated. After immersion in Eagle’s minimum essential media (MEM) solution, NaCl was formed on Ti, and Ca-P layer containing NaCl was formed on Ti-O. Weak and sparse Ca-P layers were formed on BTO, while thick, homogeneous, and dense Ca-P layer was formed on negatively polarized BTO (N-BTO), which was confirmed by FE-SEM and EDX. In summary, these results demonstrate that poling the ferroelectric BTO surface negatively is effective for the formation of Ca-P layer in MEM solution, and that N-BTO coating on Ti could be used as a possible alternative method for enhancing the osseointegration of the implants.
