여러가지 함량으로 은을 입힌$ Ag/{\alpha}-Al_2O_3$와 $Ag/SnO_2$상에서의 반응실험과 촉매의 Auger spectra, $SnO_2$에 흡착된 산소의 EPR spectra를 비교하여 담체의 종류가 에틸렌 산화반응의 활성과 선택성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. $SnO_2$상에서는 흡착산소중 O-가 반응에 참여하여 ethylene를 완전 산화하는 방향으로 유도하므로써 ethylene oxide 생성의 선택성을 저하시키는 것 같다.

Amyloidogenic proteins often exhibit fibrillar polymorphism through alternative assembly processes, which has been considered to have possible pathological implications. Here, firefly luciferase (LUC) is shown to induce amyloid polymorphism of ${\alpha}$-synuclein, the major constituent of Lewy bodies found in Parkinson's disease, by acting as a novel template. The drastically accelerated fibrillation kinetics of ${\alpha}$-synuclein with LUC required the nucleation center produced by the active enzyme of LUC. Fluorescent dye binding, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy revealed the morphologically distinctive amyloid fibrils of ${\alpha}$-synuclein prepared in the absence or presence of LUC. As the altered morphological characteristics became inherent to the mature fibrils, those properties were inherited to next-generations via nucleation-dependent fibrillation process. The seed control, therefore, would be an effective means to modify amyloid fibrils with different biochemical characteristics. In addition, the LUC-directed amyloid fibrillar polymorphism also suggests that other cellular biomolecules including enzymes in general are able to diversify amyloid fibrils, which could be self-propagated with diversified biological activities, if any, inside cells.

In this study, we investigated the effects of Cr dopant (1.0 at% $Cr_2O_3$ sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in air) on the bulk trap (i.e. defect) and interface state levels of ZnO using dielectric functions ($Z^*$, $M^*$, $Y^*$, $\varepsilon^*$, and $tan{\delta}$), admittance spectroscopy (AS), and impedance-modulus spectroscopy (IS & MS). For the identification of the bulk trap levels, we examine the zero-biased admittance spectroscopy and dielectric functions as a function of frequency and temperature. Impedance and electric modulus spectroscopy is a powerful technique to characterize grain boundaries of electronic ceramic materials as well. As a result, three kinds of bulk defect trap levels were found below the conduction band edge of ZnO in 1.0 at% Cr-doped ZnO (Cr-ZnO) as 0.11 eV, 0.21 eV, and 0.31 eV. The overlapped defect levels ($Zn^{..}_i$ and $V^{\cdot}_0$) in admittance spectra were successfully separated by the combination of dielectric function such as $M^*$, $\varepsilon^*$, and $tan{\delta}$. In Cr-ZnO, the interfacial state level was about 1.17 eV by IS and MS. Also we measured the resistance ($R_{gb}$) and capacitance ($C_{gb}$) of grain boundaries with temperature using impedance-modulus spectroscopy. It have discussed about the stability and homogeneity of grain boundaries using distribution parameter ($\alpha$) simulated with the Z"-logf plots with temperature.

저주파 (수십 kHz)와 고주파 (13.56 MHz)로 구동되는 대기압 플라즈마 젯을 발생시키고, 인가전압 (혹은 인가전력)과 기체 유량에 따른 대기압 플라즈마의 특성을 비교하였다. 고주파에서 발생된 플라즈마는 저주파의 경우보다 안정적이었으며, 인가전압 (혹은 인가전력)이 증가함에 따라 플라즈마 기체온도는 상승하였고, 고주파 젯의 기체온도는 저주파 젯 보다 높았으나 330 K이하인 것을 확인하였다. Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES)를 이용하여 저주파와 고주파의 광 방출 특성을 측정하였다. 저주파에서는 $N_2{^+}$ (391.4 nm)의 intensity 증가가 두드러지게 나타났지만 고주파 젯에서는 $N_2$, $N_2{^+}$의 intensity는 감소하였으며, OH, NO, $H_{\alpha}$, O와 같은 활성 산소 종 (Reactive Oxygen Species)이 저주파 젯 보다 높게 측정되었다. Boltzmann plot method를 이용한 분석을 통해 저주파와 고주파 영역에서의 플라즈마 전자 여기 온도를 측정하였다. 또한 자외선 흡수분광법을 이용하여 플라즈마-액체 계면에서의 OH이 입자밀도를 측정하여 OES방법으로 측정한 OH 밀도와 비교하였다. 그리고 화학적 측정법 (terephtalic acid solution)을 이용하여 액체 내의 OH의 농도를 측정하였다.

화학기상응축공정법으로 세 가지 분해온도에서 제조된 나노 Fe-N 시료들을 뫼스바우어 분광기, XRD와 BET를 이용하여 자기적 특성의 변화를 연구하였다. 분해온도가 낮을수록 ${\gamma}'-Fe_4N$의 형성이 용이하였으며, 중간온도에서의 ${\epsilon}-Fe_{2.12}N$을 거쳐 높은 분해온도에서는 ${\gamma}-Fe$가 주로 형성되었다. 높은 분해온도에서는 Fe와 N이 서로 잘 결합되지 못하였는데, 이는 Fe와 N을 결합시키기 위해서는 분해온도를 낮게 하는 것이 바람직하다는 것을 의미한다.

The syndecan family consists of four transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycans present in most cell types and each syndecan shares a common structure containing a heparan sulfate modified extracellular domain, a single transmembrane domain and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. To get a better understanding of the mechanism and function of syndecan-4 which is one of the syndecan family, it is crucial to investigate its three-dimensional structure. Unfortunately, it is difficult to prepare the peptide because it is membrane-bound protein that transverses the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. Here, we optimize the expression, purification, and characterization of transmembrane, cytoplasmic and short extracellular domains of syndecan4 (syndecan-4 eTC). Syndecan-4 eTC was successfully obtained with high purity and yield from the M9 medium. The structural information of syndecan-4 eTC was investigated by MALDI-TOF mass (MS) spectrometry, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It was confirmed that syndecan-4 eTC had an ${\alpha}$-helical multimeric structure like transmembrane domain of syndecan-4 (syndecan-4 TM) in membrane environments.

A basic characterization of uranium samples was performed using gamma- and X-ray spectroscopy. The studied uranium samples were eight types of certified reference materials with $^{235}U$ enrichments in the range of 1-97%, and the measurements were performed over 24 h using a high-resolution and high-purity planar germanium detector. A general peak analysis of the spectrum and the $XK_{\alpha}$ region of the uranium spectra was carried out by using HyperGam and HyperGam-U, respectively. The standard reference sources were used to calibrate the spectroscopy system. To obtain the absolute detection efficiency, an effective solid angle code, EXVol, was run for each sample. Hence, the peak activities and isotopic activities were determined, and then, the total U content and $^{234}U$, $^{235}U$, and $^{238}U$ isotopic contents were determined and compared with those of the certified reference values. A new method to determine the model age based on the ratio of the activities of $^{223}Ra$ and $^{235}U$ in the sample was studied, and the model age was compared with the known true age. In summary, the present study developed a method for basic characterization of uranium samples by nondestructive gamma-ray spectrometry in 24 h and to obtain information on the sample age.

Titanium carbide(TiC) films were deposited on stainless-steel sheets using HCD(Hollow Cathode Discharge) reactive ion plating. Acetylene gas was used as the reactant gas. The characteristics of TiC films were examined by X-Ray diffraction, $\alpha$-step, ESCA(Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis), and, AES(Auger Electron Spectroscopy). The results were discussed with regard to various deposition conditions(bias voltage, acetylene flow rate, temperature).

We have used the modified diffusion flame burner to synthesize silica coated iron oxide nanoparticles having enhanced superparamagnetic property. Silica-encapsulated iron oxide particles were directly observed using a high resolution transmission electron microscope. From the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and zeta potential measurements, the iron oxide particles were found to be completely covered by a silica coating layer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed that the iron oxide core consists of ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$ rather than ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$. Our magnetization measurements support this conclusion. Biocompatibility test of the silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles is also conducted using the protein adsorption onto the coated particle.

Hydrogenated amorphous carbon(a-C:H) films are prepared by rf plasma CVD in a $CH_4$ source gas system diluted with Ar of $H_2$. The spectra of emissive and reactive species in the plasma are detected using in stiu optical emission spectroscopy. Inaddition, the relationship between the film properties which can be varied by the deposition parameters and the Raman spectra is studied. In the $CH_4/H_2$ gas system, the emission intensities of CH and $H \tau$ decrease and those of $H \alpha$, $H \beta$, $C_2$ and Ar increase with increasing $H_2$ concentration, The formation of $C_2$ and CH in the $CH_4/Ar/H_2$ gas system is greatly suppressed by hydrogen addition and the excess of hydrogen addition is found to form graphite structure. The $C_2$ formation in the gas phase enhances a-C:H film formation.
