As Ag does not form my silicide on Si surfaces, Ag wire is a candidate for self-assembled nanowire on the reconstructed and single-domain Si(5 5 12)-2 $\times$ 1. In the present study, various Ag coverages and post-annealing temperatures had been tested to fabricate a Ag nanowire with high aspect ratio. When Ag coverage was less than 0.03 ML and the post-annealing temperature was 500(C, Ag atoms preferentially adsorbed on the tetramer sites resulting in Ag wires with an inter-row spacing of ~5 nm. However, its aspect ratio is relatively small and its height is also not even. On the other hand, the Ag-posited surface completely loses its reconstruction even with the same annealing at 500 $\^{C}$ if the initial coverage exceeds 0.05 ML. But the additional subsequent annealing at 700$\^{C}$ and slow-cooling process recovers the well-ordered Ag chain with relatively high aspect ratio on the same tetramer sites. It can be understood that, in the double step annealing process, the lower temperature annealing is required for cohesion of adsorbed Ag atoms and the higher temperature annealing is for providing Ag atoms to the tetramer sites.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the cell viability and antimicrobial effects of orthodontic bands coated with silver or zinc oxide nanoparticles (nano-Ag and nano-ZnO, respectively). Methods: In this experimental study, 30 orthodontic bands were divided into three groups (n = 10 each): control (uncoated band), Ag (silver-coated band), and ZnO (zinc oxide-coated band). The electrostatic spray-assisted vapor deposition method was used to coat orthodontic bands with nano-Ag or nano-ZnO. The biofilm inhibition test was used to assess the antimicrobial effectiveness of nano-Ag and nano-ZnO against Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Candida albicans. Biocompatibility tests were conducted using the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. The groups were compared using oneway analysis of variance with a post-hoc test. Results: The Ag group showed a significantly higher reduction in the number of L. acidophilus, C. albicans, and S. mutans colonies than the ZnO group (p = 0.015, 0.003, and 0.005, respectively). Compared with the control group, the Ag group showed a 2-log₁₀ reduction in all the microorganisms' replication ability, but only S. mutants showed a 2-log₁₀ reduction in replication ability in the ZnO group. The lowest mean cell viability was observed in the Ag group, but the difference between the groups was insignificant (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Coating orthodontic bands with nano-ZnO or nano-Ag induced antimicrobial effects against oral pathogens. Among the nanoparticles, nano-Ag showed the best antimicrobial activity and nano-ZnO showed the highest biocompatibility.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic data on hepatitis B infection control in the community through the results of the hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody tests conducted at the Cheongyang-County Health Medical Center. From 2012 to 2020, we retrospectively analyzed the HBsAg, HBsAb, HBeAg, HBeAb, and HBV DNA results of 7,329 hepatitis B-related testers. Among 7,329 subjects, the HBsAg positivity rate was 1.7%, and the positivity rate according to age was the highest at 4.4% in their 30s, 4.2% in their 40s, 4.1% in their 50s, 2.0% in their 60s, 1.9% in their 70s and over, and 10 it was shown in the order of 0.3% from less than large. The HBsAb positivity rate was 43.1% for men, 38.2% for men, and 46.7% for women (P<0.001). To summarize the above results, for infection control of hepatitis B in Cheongyang-County, hepatitis surface antigen proton management is required for those in their 30s or older, and it is thought that efforts to acquire immunity are necessary for those in their 20s or younger.

Ag와 Cu로 오염된 퇴적물이 이매패류 Macoma balthica에 미치는 만성독성영향과 주요한 중금속 흡수경로를 평가하기 위해, 실험실에서 미소생태계 실험이 수행되었다. 실험생물인 M. balthica는 4개의 농도구배를 갖는 $Ag(0.01-0.87\mu{mol}\;g^{-1})$와 $Cu(0.75-5.55\mu{mol\;g^{-1})$로 오염된 퇴적물에서 90일 동안 배양되었다. 퇴적물 내 중금속의 지화학적 분포 특성과 생물이용도를 조절한다고 알려진 AVS(acid volatile sulfide)의 농도를 변화시켜, AVS가 M. balthica의 Ag와 Cu의 체내축적에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 90일간 노출된 후, M. balthica가 축적한 Ag와 Cu의 농도는 1 N HCI로 추출된 퇴적물 내 중금속의 농도(SEM, simultaneously extracted metal)와 양의 상관성을 보이며 증가하였다. Ag와 Cu의 체내 축적은 [SEM]-[AVS]값에 큰 영향을 받지 않았는데, 이것은 공극수 내 용존태로 존재하는 Ag와 Cu가 생물 체내 축적에 크게 기여하지 않았다는 것을 암시한다. 체내 축적된 Ag와 Cu는 M. balthica의 여수율과 글리코겐 함량에 직접적인 영향을 미쳤다. 최대 $1.0\pm{0.2}\mu{mol}\;Ag\;g^{-1}$와 $2.7\pm{0.3}\mu{mol}\;Cu\;g^{-1}$를 축적한 M. balthica의 여수율은 오염되지 않은 퇴적물에 노출된 실험조개의 18-43%에 불과하였다. 이와 유사하게, 중금속 처리군에 노출된 M. balthica의 글리코겐 함량은 체내 Ag와 Cu의 농도와 음의 상관성을 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과는 Ag와 Cu로 오염된 퇴적물에 노출된 M. balthica는 주로 퇴적물의 섭식을 통해 중금속을 축적하며, 여수율과 글리코겐 함량의 감소와 같은 만성독성영향을 나타낼 수 있다는 것을 암시한다.

Single crystal $AgGaSe_2$ layers were grown on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate at $420^{\circ}C$ with hot wall epitaxy (HWE) system by evaporating $AgGaSe_2$ source at $630^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of single crystal $AgGaSe_2$ thin films measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $4.05{\times}\;10^{16}/cm^3$, $139\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K. respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $AgGaSe_2$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=1.9501\;eV\;-\;(8.79{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2$/(T + 250 K). The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $AgGaSe_2$ have been estimated to be 0.3132 eV and 0.3725 eV at 10 K, respectively, by means of the phcitocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the ${\Delta}So$ definitely exists in the $\Gamma_5$ states of the valence band of the $AgGaSe_2$. The three photocurrent peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_1$-, $B_1$-, and $C_1$-exciton peaks for n = 1.

The reduction of vacuum-dehydrated $Na_xAg_{12-x}-A, 0 {\le} x {\le} 9.2$, and its reoxidation by O$_2$, have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction. Also, the structure of $Na_6Na_6-A$ treated with hydrogen at room temperature has been studied by single crystal methods in the cubic space group Pm3m at $24{\circ}C (a = 12.221(2) {\AA})$. The diffraction pattern of dehydrated Ag$_{12}$-A reduced by H$_2$ contains only the (111) and (200) reflections of silver metal, indicationg that the zeolite structure has been lost, but the zeolite's diffraction pattern and structural integrity can be fully restored by oxidation with O$_2$ at 100 or 200${\circ}C$. In contrast, the structures of $Na_xAg_{12-x}-A$, x = 4.5 and 9.2, were not destroyed by treatment with hydrogen. Dehydrated Na$_6Ag_6$-A treated with 50 Torr of hydrogen gas at 24${\circ}C$ for 30 minutes has $6\; Na^+\;and\;1.27\;Ag^+$ ions at 6-ring sites. These $Ag^+ ions are associated with 2.54 Ag${\circ}$ atoms to form 1.27 $Ag_3^+$ clusters per unit cell. Also found were 0.7 $Ag_3^{2+}$ clusters per unit cell near the 8-rings. The structure was refined to the final error indices R$_1$ = 0.134 and R$_2$ (weighted) = 0.147, using 168 independent reflections for which $I_0 >3{\sigma}(I_0)$.

Transparent film heaters (TFHs) based on Joule heating are currently an active research area. However, TFHs based on an indium tin oxide (ITO) monolayer have a number of problems. For example, heating is concentrated in part of the device. Also, heating efficiency is low because it has high sheet resistance ($R_S$). Resistance of indium zinc oxide (IZO) is similar to ITO and it can be used to flexible applications due to its amorphous structure. To solve these problems, our study introduced hybrid layers of IZO/Ag/IZO deposited by magnetron sputtering, and the electrical, optical, and thermal properties were estimated for various thickness of the metal interlayer. It was found that the sheet resistance of the multilayer was mainly dependent on the thickness of the Ag layers. The $R_S$ of IZO(40)/Ag/IZO(40nm) multilayer was 5.33, 3.29, $2.15{\Omega}/{\Box}$ for Ag thickness of 10, 15, and 20nm, respectively, while the $R_S$ of an IZO monolayer(95nm) was $59.58{\Omega}/{\Box}$. The optical transmittance at 550nm for the IZO(95nm) monolayer is 81.6%, and for the IZO(40)/Ag/IZO(40nm) multilayers with Ag thickness 10, 15 and 20nm, is for 72.8, 78.6, and 63.9%, respectively. The defrost test showed that the film with the lowest RS had the highest heat generation rate (HGR) for the same applied voltage. The results indicated that IZO(40)/Ag(15)/IZO(40nm) multilayer has the best suitable property, which is a promising thin film heater for the application in vehicle windshield.
