This paper briefly introduces silicon based thin film solar cells: amorphous (a-Si:H), microcrystalline ${\mu}c-Si:H$ single junction and $a-Si:H/{\mu}c-Si:H$ tandem solar cells. The major difference of a-Si:H and ${\mu}c-Si:H$ cells comes from electro-optical properties of intrinsic Si-films (active layer) that absorb incident photon and generate electron-hole pairs. The a-Si:H film has energy band-gap (Eg) of 1.7-1.8eV and solar cells incorporating this wide Eg a-Si:H material as active layer commonly give high voltage and low current, when illuminated, compared to ${\mu}c-Si:H$ solar cells that employ low Eg (1.1eV) material. This Eg difference of two materials make possible tandem configuration in order to effectively use incident photon energy. The $a-Si:H/{\mu}c-Si:H$ tandem solar cells, therefore, have a great potential for low cost photovoltaic device by its various advantages such as low material cost by thin-film structure on low cost substrate instead of expensive c-Si wafer and high conversion efficiency by tandem structure. In this paper, the structure, process and operation properties of Si-based thin-film solar cells are discussed.

The excited state intramolecular proton transfer and physical properties of 7-hydroxyquinoline are studied in various solutions and heterogeneous systems by measuring steady state and time-resolved fluorescence, reflection and NMR spectra. Proton transfer is observed only in protic solvents owing to its requirement of hydrogen-bonded solvent bridge for proton relay transfer. The activation energies of the proton transfer are 2.3 and 5.4 kJ/mol in $CH_3OH$ and in $CH_3OD$, respectively. Dimers of normal molecules are stable in microcrystalline powder form and undergo an extremely fast concerted double proton transfer upon absorption of a photon, consequently forming dimers of tautomer molecules. In the supercage of zeolite NaY, its tautomeric form is stable in the ground state and does not show any proton transfer.

Bioethanol has attracted much attention in recent decades as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative energy source. In this study, we compared the production of bioethanol by Candida molischiana and Saccharomyces cerevisiae at different initial concentrations of cellobiose and glucose. The results showed that C. molischiana can utilize both glucose and cellobiose, whereas S. cerevisiae can only utilize glucose. The ethanol yields were 43-51% from different initial concentrations of carbon source. In addition, different concentrations of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel) were directly converted to ethanol by a combination of Trichoderma reesei and two yeasts. Cellulose was first hydrolyzed by a fully enzymatic saccharification process using T. reesei cellulases, and the reducing sugars and glucose produced during the process were further used as carbon source for bioethanol production by C. molischiana or S. cerevisiae. Sequential culture of T. reesei and two yeasts revealed that C. molischiana was more efficient for bioconversion of sugars to ethanol than S. cerevisiae. When 20 g/l Avicel was used as a carbon source, the maximum reducing sugar, glucose, and ethanol yields were 42%, 26%, and 20%, respectively. The maximum concentrations of reducing sugar, glucose, and ethanol were 10.9, 8.57, and 5.95 g/l, respectively, at 120 h by the combination of T. reesei and C. molischiana from 50 g/l Avicel.

Two ${\beta}$-1,4-glucanases (DI and DIII fractions) were purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate of a cellulolytic bacteria, Cellulomonas sp. CS 1-1, which was classified as a novel species belonging to Cellulomonas uda based on chemotaxanomic and phylogenetic analyses. The molecular mass was estimated as 50,000 Da and 52,000 Da for DI and DIII, respectively. Moreover, DIII was identified as a glycoprotein with a pI of 3.8, and DI was identified as a non-glycoprotein with a pI of 5.3. When comparing the ratio of the CMC-saccharifying activity and CMC-liquefying activity, DI exhibited a steep slope, characteristic of an endoglucanase, whereas DIII exhibited a low slope, characteristic of an exoglucanase. The substrate specificity of the purified enzymes revealed that DI efficiently hydrolyzed CMC as well as xylan, whereas DIII exhibited a high activity on microcrystalline celluloses, such as Sigmacells. A comparison of the hydrolysis patterns for pNP-glucosides (DP 2-5) using an HPLC analysis demonstrated that the halosidic bond 3 from the nonreducing end was the preferential cleavage site for DI, whereas bond 2, from which the cellobiose unit is split off, was the preferential cleavage site for DIII. The partial N-terminal amino acid sequences for the purified enzymes were $^1Ala-Gly-Ser-Thr-Leu-Gln-Ala-Ala-Ala-Ser-Glu-Ser-Gly-Arg-Tyr^{15}$-for DI and $^1Ala-Asp-Ser-Asp-Phe-Asn-Leu-Tyr-Val-Ala-Glu-Asn-Ala-Met-Lys^{15}$-for DIII. The apparent sequences exhibited high sequence similarities with other bacterial ${\beta}$-1,4-glucanases as well as ${\beta}$-1,4-xylanases.

Hafnium oxide-aluminum oxide (HfO2-Al2O3) dielectric films have been fabricated by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), and their properties are studied in comparison with HfO2 films. As a gate dielectric of the TFT, in spite of its high dielectric constant, HfO2 has a small energy band gap and microcrystalline structure with rough surface characteristics. When fabricated by the device, it has the drawback of generating a high leakage current. In this study, the HfAlO films was obtained by Pulsed Laser Deposition with HfO2-Al2O3 target(chemical composition of (HfO2)86wt%(Al2O3)14wt%). The characteristics of the thin Film have been investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and spectroscopic ellipsometer (SE) analyses. The X-ray diffraction studies confirmed that the HfAlO has amorphous structure. The RMS value can be compared to the surface roughness via AFM analysis, it showed HfAlO thin Film has more lower properties than HfO2. The energy band gap (Eg) deduced by spectroscopic ellipsometer was increased. HfAlO films was expected to improved the interface quality between channel and gate insulator. Apply to an oxide thin Film Transistors, HfAlO may help improve the properties of device.

자원재활용과 원가절감를 위해 고지재활용율이 크게 상승하고 있으며, 이와 아울러 고 지원료로부터 고품질의 제품을 생산할 수 있는 기술에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있는 실 정이다. 저급 고지로부터 고품질의 탈묵펄프를 얻기 위해서는 고지재활용공정의 핵심 공정인 부유부상 공정의 효율화가 가장 중요하다고 믿어진다. 이를 위해서는 부유부상 공정에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 고형입자의 표면 화학적 특성에 따른 공정의 분리효율 평가와 이에 근거한 공정해석과 개선이 요청된다. 이러한 부유부상 공정을 표면화학적 측면에서 구명하기 위해 마이크로 크리스탈린 셀룰로오스(Microcrystalline cellulose: M MCC)를 모댈 물질로 사용하여 표면화학적 특성은 다르나 입자의 크기와 형태는 동일 한 시료를 준비하였다. 친수성의 표면 특성을 나타내는 MCC의 표면 특성을 바꾸기 위 하여 AKD(alkyl ketene dimer)로 처리비율을 달리하여 솔벤트 사이징 처리를 실시하 였다. 이렇게 준비된 MCC의 표면화학적 특성을 IGC를 이용하여 평가하였다 .. IGC는 G GC를 응용한 표면분석 기술로 고체의 물리화학적 특성과 흡착성을 분석하기 위해서 사용되며 이로부터 흡착제의 표면특성을 평가할 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 AKD로 소수화 정도가 다르도록 소수화시킨 MCC 시료를 이용하여 I IGC 칼럼을 준비하고 n-알칸과 몇가지 극성 용매률 이용하여 이들의 칼럼 내 체류시 간을 측정함으로써 흡착특성을 평가하고 이로부터 흡착현상을 열역학적으로 분석하였다. IGC 분석 시에는 칼럼의 온도를 $30^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$의 3수준으로 변화시켰다. 측정결 과로부터 MCC 표면의 흡착자유에너지와 엔탈피, 엔트로피의 변화량을 평가하였으며, 또한 MCC 표면의 극성에너지와 산염기적 성질을 평가하였다. 실험결과 MCC의 소수화도에 따른 열역학적 흡착현상의 차이가 명백하였다. 이는 소 수화 수준에 따라 소수성 및 친수성 물질의 흡착성이 변화된다는 것을 보여준다. 따라서 탈묵 시 진행되는 기포에의 부착현상을 평가할 수 있는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다 고 사료되었다.

From the ancient to these days, there have been used many kinds of pigment which have two types that are inorganic pigment and organic pigment. At the ancient times, natural pigment had been used but the artificially mixed pigment has been used in modern times. By the way, searching for studies has been studied recently, it would be said the ancient pigments such as Danchung, Wall painting and Mural painting are the mainthema. However, studies about the pigments used in modern pictured relics have rarely can be found. Therefore, this analysis of Ilweolokdo would be important at the point of the pigments used in pictures of royal family in modern times and the results can be briefly summarized as below; Firstly, the results of qualitative analysis of the pigments that base or all pigments of picture was detected components of Ca, Fe and As, this results meaning that picture was used filler and basic paint. Secondly, a result of the analysis on the composition elements of the pigments shows that the main components in their composition are ;White - Lead Cyanamide($2PbCO_3$.$Pb(OH)_2$) or Titanium Oxide($TiO_2$)Blue - Ultramarine($2(Na_2O$.$Al_2O_3$ .$2Si_O2$).$Na_2S_2$)Green - Emerald green($C_2H_3A_s3Cu_2O_8$)Gold - Gold(Au), Red-Red Lead($Pb_3O_4$) or Cinnabar(HgS)Black - Carbon(C)Thirdly, X-ray diffraction analysis of crystalline structure for the blue and green pigment peeling off in picture shows that the components of blue pigment is Ultramarine($2(Na_2O$.$Al_2O_3$ .$2Si_O2$).$Na_2S_2$) and green pigment is Emerald green($C_2H_3A_s3Cu_2O_8$).

PECVD를 이용하여 제조된 미세결정질 p-i-n 실리콘 박막 태양전지에서, p 층은 태양전지의 윈도우 역할 및 그 위에 증착될 i ${\mu}c-Si:H$ 층의 'seed'층 역할을 수행하기 때문에, p층의 구조적 및 전기적, 광학적 특성은 태양전지의 전체 성능에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 $SiH_4$ 농도를 변화시켜 각기 다른 결정 특성을 갖는 p ${\mu}c-Si:H$층을 제조하고 그 위에 i ${\mu}c-Si:H$ 층을 증착하여 p층의 결정 특성변화와 그에 따른 i ${\mu}c-Si:H$ 층 및 'superstrate' p-i-n 미세결정질 실리콘 박막 태양전지의 특성 변화를 조사하였다. P층의 경우, $SiH_4$ 농도가 증가함에 따라 결정분율 (Xc)이 감소하여 비정질화되었으며 그에 따라 dark conductivity가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 각기 다른 결정분율을 가지는 p 'seed' 층 위에 증착된 태양전지는, p 'seed' 층의 결정분율이 증가함에 따라 개방전압, 곡선인자, 변환효율이 경향적으로 감소하였다. 이는 p 층 결정분율 변화에 따른 p/i 계면특성 저하 및 그 위에 증착되는 i ${\mu}c-Si:H$ 층의 결함밀도 증가 등에 따른 태양전지 특성 감소 때문인 것으로 판단되며, 이를 분석하기 위하여 i ${\mu}c-Si:H$ 층의 전기적, 구조적 특성 분석 및 태양전지의 dark I-V 특성 등을 분석하고자 한다.

In amorphous or microcrystalline thin-film silicon solar cells, p-i-n structure is used instead of p/n junction structure as in wafer-based Si solar cells. Hence, these p-i-n structured solar cells inevitably consist of many interfaces and the cell efficiency critically depends on the effective control of these interfaces. In this study, in-situ plasma treatment process of the interfaces was developed to improve the efficiency of a-Si:H solar cell. The p-i-n cell was deposited using a single-chamber VHF-PECVD system, which was driven by a pulsed-RF generator at 80 MHz. In order to solve the cross-contamination problem of p-i layer, high RF power was applied without supplying SiH4 gas after p-layer deposition, which effectively cleaned B contamination inside chamber wall from p-layer deposition. In addition to the p-i interface control, various interface control techniques such as thin layer of TiO2 deposition to prevent H2 plasma reduction of FTO layer, multiple applications of thin i-layer deposition and H2 plasma treatment, H2 plasma treatment of i-layer prior to n-layer deposition, etc. were developed. In order to reduce the reflection at the air-glass interface, anti-reflective SiO2 coating was also adopted. The initial solar cell efficiency over 11% could be achieved for test cell area of 0.2 $cm^2$.

A novel branched wax has been developed for the control of the hardness of oil-wax gels. Using this wax, glossier application and smoother texture but tough lipstick can be obtained. Oil-wax gels are oily solids composed of liquid and crystalline solid oils (waxes). They are widely used in various cosmetic products, especially lipsticks. The control of gel hardness is one of the most important techniques in improvement of the lipstick quality. Addition of small amounts of commercial branched paraffin wax (e.g. microcrystalline wax, b-PW) to n-paraffin wax (n-PW) has been commonly used to increase gel hardness. However, gel hardness is very sensitive to the quantity of b-PW and the gel obtained is not always hard enough for practical use. In this study we examined the relationship between the gel hardness and the properties of the wax crystal in the gel. We have found that, when b-PW is added to n-PW, the wax crystal size becomes smaller (hardening the gels) and its crystallinity is decreased (softening the gels) simultaneously. Considering this result, we have developed a novel branched wax, Bis(polyethylenyl)- tetramethyldisiloxane (named ESE). ESE molecules are composed of a central tetramethyldisiloxane unit (branch unit) with polyethylene units at both ends. The central unit may suppress crystal growth while the ends are expected to prevent a decrease in wax crystallinity during crystallization. When ESE is added to n-PW, the wax crystal obtained becomes smaller without decreasing in crystallinity; consequently, the gel hardness is dramatically increased. By using ESE, the total amount of wax in a lipstick can be decreased by 30％ without spoiling the stick toughness, thereby achieving glossy application and smooth texture.
