  • Due to the miniaturization of semiconductor devices, their crystal structure on the nanoscale must be analyzed. However, scanning electron microscope-electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) has a limitation of resolution in nanoscale and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) can be used to analyze restrictive local structural information. In this study, three-dimensional (3D) automated crystal orientation and phase mapping using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (3D TEM-EBSD) was used to identify the crystal structure relationship between an epitaxially grown CdS interfacial layer and a $Cu(In_xGa_{x-1})Se_2$ (CIGS) solar cell layer. The 3D TEM-EBSD technique clearly defined the crystal orientation and phase of the epitaxially grown layers, making it useful for establishing the growth mechanism of functional nano-materials.

  • In this paper, the thermal behaviors of expanded graphite(EG)/erythritol composites with different contents of EG were studied. The surface and structure properties of the composites were determined by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The thermal properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal conductivity (TC). As experimental results, the thermal conductivity of the composites increased with increasing the EG content. However, the latent heat was somewhat decreased in the presence of EG. We could concluded that EG was highly promising materials for improving the heat transfer enhancement and energy storage capacity of phase change materials (PCMs).

  • Electrospun webs have been widely investigated for applying to drug delivery system (DDS) because of their high specific surface area and high porosity. In this study, the composite webs of PLA (poly(lactic acid)) and $TiO_2$ were fabricated by melt-electro-spinning method for applying to drug delivery system. The morphologies of PLA/$TiO_2$, webs were observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and field emission transmission electron microscope (FE-TEM). The crystal structures of PLA/$TiO_2$ composite webs were confirmed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD).

  • Electron microscopy is an important investigation and analytical method for the morphological characterization of various cellulosic materials, such as micro-crystalline cellulose (MCC), microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). However, more accurate morphological analysis requires high-quality micrographs acquired from the proper use of an electron microscope and associated sample preparation methods. Understanding the interaction of electron and matter as well as the importance of sample preparation methods, including drying and staining methods, enables the production of high quality images with adequate information on the nanocellulosic materials. This paper provides a brief overview of the micro and nano structural analysis of cellulose, as investigated using transmission and scanning electron microscopy.

  • In this paper, plasma ion implant is performed with $PH_3$ gas diluted by helium gas on P-type Si wafer (100). Spike Rapid Thermal Processing(RTP) annealing performed for 30~60 sec from $800\;^{\circ}C$ to $1000\;^{\circ}C$ in $N_2+O_2$ ambient. Crystalline defect is analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscope(TEM) and Double crystal X-ray Diffraction(DXRD). Contact resistivity($\rho c$), contact resistance(Rc) and sheet resistance(Rs) are analyzed by measuring Transfer Length Method(TLM) using 4155C analysis. As annealing temperature increase, Rs decrease and ${\rho}c$ and Rc increase at temperature higher than $850\;^{\circ}C$. We achieve low Rs, ${\rho}c$ and Rc with Plasma ion implant and spike RTP.

  • 1-D photonic band-gap structure is identified in a cholesteric liquid crystal system. The optical transmission spectrum is measured and compared with the theoretical analysis. Nonlinear transmission is measured near the band edge. Also 3-D photonic band-gap structures are fabricated from dielectric colloidal polystyrene beads through a centrifuge method. The fabricated photonic crystals exhibit opalescent colors under white light and show a clear diffraction peak dependent on the incident angle of the light beam. Also the scanning electron microscope image was taken to verify the face-centered cubic crystal structure. Bragg's law and Snell's law are employed to describe the position of angle resolved diffraction peaks. It was shown that the optically deduced effective refractive index and lattice constants were in good agreement with the crystal structure identified by scanning electron microscope.

  • Power-transmission Nylon pinions against steel gears fur different pitch line velocities was studied with a power circulating gear test rig under unlubricated condition by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope). The wear characteristics of Nylon pinions varied significantly with the pitch line velocity and applied load. Wear occurred most severely at the regions including pitch circle and root circle of Nylon pinions. It is confirmed that Nylon pinions are able to be used fer power-transmission under limited conditions.

  • Energetically-modified material using reject fly ash was manufactured to investigate the effect of the material on strength characteristic of cement mortar. In order to modify reject fly ash, a vibration mill was used. after grinding process, the defects in the alignment of atom was checked using transmission electron microscope. It was found that the compressive strength values of 28 days-cured specimens using energetically-modified reject fly ash (ERFA) were higher than that of mortar with non-ground reject fly ash.
