본 연구에서는 선형 대향 타겟 스퍼터(Linear Facing Target Sputtering: LFTS) 시스템을 이용하여 성막한 Ti-doped In2O3 (TIO) 투명 전극의 전기적, 광학적 특성을 연구하였다. LFTS 시스템을 이용하여 유리기판 위에 TIO 박막을 증착시킬 때, 타겟과 기판 사이의 거리(Target-to-Substrate Distance)를 30 mm, 타겟과 타겟 사이의 거리(Target-to-Target Distance)를 65 mm, Ar/$O_2$ 가스의 비율 100：1로 각각 고정한 후, TIO 타겟에 인가되는 DC 파워와 공정압력을 변수로 TIO 박막을 하였다. LFTS 공정을 이용한 TIO 투명전극의 성막 공정 중 DC파워와 공정압력 변화에 따른 구조적, 표면적 특성 변화는 field-effect scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) 과 x-ray diffractometry (XRD) 분석을 통해 관찰되었다. 이렇게 증착된 200 nm 두께의 TIO 투명전극은 급속열처리 시스템으로 700도에서 후 열처리를 진행하였으며 상온에서 217.5 ohm/sq의 면저항을 나타내는 TIO박막이 열처리후 35 ohm/sq로 면저항이 급격히 감소됨을 확인하였다. 뿐만 아니라 열처리후 가시광선 영역 (400~800 nm)에서의 TIO 박막의 평균 투과율이 81.02%에서 83.4%로 향상됨을 UV/visible spectrometry 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 분석을 통해 TIO 박막의 특성과 ITO와 구별되는 다양한 장점을 소개한다.

We have demonstrated that simple brush-painted Ti-doped $In_2O_3$(TIO) films can be used as a cost effective transparent anodes for organic solar cells (OSCs). We examined the RTA effects on the electrical, optical, and structural properties of the brush painted TIO electrodes. By the direct brushing of TIO nanoparticle ink and rapid thermal annealing (RTA), we can simply obtain TIO electrodes with a low sheet resistance of 28.25 Ohm/square and a high optical transmittance of 85.48% under atmospheric ambient conditions. Furthermore, improvements in the connectivity of the TIO nano-particles in the top region during the RTA process play an important role in reducing the resistivity of the brush-painted TIO anode. In particular, the brush painted TIO films showed a much higher mobility ($33.4cm^2/V-s$) than that of previously reported solution-process transparent oxide films ($1{\sim}5cm^2/V-s$) due to the effects of the Ti dopant with higher Lewis acid strength (3.06) and the reduced contact resistance of TIO nanoparticles. The OSCs fabricated on the brush-painted TIO films exhibited cell-performance with an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.61 V, shot circuit current (Jsc) of $7.90mA/cm^2$, fill factor (FF) of 61%, and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.94%. This indicates that brush-painted TIO film is a promising cost-effective transparent electrode for printing-based OSCs with its simple process and high performance.

Transparent and conducting titanium (Ti) doped indium oxide (TIO) thin films were deposited on the poly-imide (PI) substrate with radio frequency magnetron sputtering and then electron irradiation was conducted on the TIO film's surface to investigate the effect electron irradiation on the crystallization and opto-electrical properties of the films. All x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed two diffraction peaks of the In₂O₂ (431) and (444) planes with regardless of the electron beam irradiation energy. In the AFM analysis, the surface roughness of as deposited films was 3.29 nm, while the films electron irradiated at 700 eV, show a lower RMS roughness of 2.62 nm. In this study, the FOM of as deposited TIO films is 6.82 × 10^-3 Ω^-1, while the films electron irradiated at 500 eV show the higher FOM value of 1.0 × 10^-2 Ω^-1. Thus, it is concluded that the post-deposition electron beam irradiation at 500 eV is the one of effective methods of crystallization and enhancement of opto-electrical performance of TIO thin film deposited on the PI substrate.

We fabricated highly transparent and flexible Ti doped In2O3 (TIO)/Ag nanowire(NW)/TIO (TAT) multilayer electrodes by linear facing target sputtering (LFTS) and brush-painting for used as flexible for anode organic solar cells(FOSCs). The characteristics of TAT transparent anode as a function of number of brush-painting cycles was also investigated. At optimized conditions we achieved highly flexible TAT multilayer electrodes with a low sheet resistance of $9.01{\Omega}/square$ and a high diffusive transmittance more than 80% in visible region as well as superior mechanical stability. The effective embedment of the Ag NW network between top and bottom TIO films led to a metallic conductivity, high transparency. Based on FE-SEM HRTEM, and XRD analysis, we can find that the Ag NW network was effectively embedded between top and bottom TIO layers due to good flexibility of Ag NW, the TAT multilayer showed superior flexibility than single TIO layer. Successful operation of FOSCs with high power conversion efficiency of 3.01% indicates that TAT hybrid electrode is a promising alternative to conventional ITO electrode for high performance FOSCs.

$BaTIO_3$ thin films were prepared on (100) $BaTIO_3$ substrates by coating- pyrolysis process using metal-organic compounds of Ba and Ti. The amorphous films prefired at $450^{\circ}C$were crystallized above $700^{\circ}C$ under oxygen partial pressure of $2\times 10^{-4}$. The lattice parameters of the perpendicular axis for the $BaTIO_3$ thin films heat-treated below $800^{\circ}C$ were closer to a value of cubic $BaTIO_3$, whereas those above $800^{\circ}C$ were closer to a value of tetragonal BaTiG. The results of XRD P scan and pole-figure analyses indicated that BaTiO, thin films have an epitaxial relationship with the $SrTiO_3$ substrates. The $BaTIO_3$thin films annealed at$800^{\circ}C$ showed the surface with island-like grains about 0.4$mu \textrm{m}$ and the cross section of 0.8 $mu \textrm{m}$ thickness with granular grains.

Background: Neutrophilic asthma (NeuA) is usually resistant to corticosteroids. Tiotropium bromide (TIO) is a bronchodilator that is used as an add-on therapy to inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting β2 agonist in asthma treatment. However, the role of TIO in NeuA is not fully known. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of TIO on NeuA compared to that of corticosteroids. Methods: C57BL/6 female mice were sensitized with ovalbumin and lipopolysaccharide to induce neutrophilic inflammation. Dexamethasone (DEX) was administered on days 14, 17, 20, and 23. TIO was inhaled on days 21, 21, and 23. On day 24, mice were sacrificed. Airway hyper-responsiveness, levels of cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lung homogenates, and lung tissue histopathology were compared between the two groups. Results: Neutrophil counts, T helper 2 cells (T_H2)/T_H17 cytokines, and pro-inflammatory cytokine in BAL fluids were elevated in the NeuA group. TIO group showed lower total cells, neutrophil counts, and eosinophil counts in BAL fluids than the DEX group (p<0.001, p<0.05, and p<0.001, respectively). Airway resistance was attenuated in the TIO group but elevated in the NeuA group (p<0.001). Total protein, interleukin (IL)-5, and IL-17A levels in BAL fluids were lower in the TIO group than in the NeuA group (all p<0.05). Conclusion: TIO showed more potent effects than DEX in improving airway inflammation and attenuating airway resistance in NeuA.

The $Tio_2$ films were prepared on glass, silicon and quartz substrate at different temperature by radio frequency reactive magnetron sputtering under different flow ratios of Ar and O2 gases. The films were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Only the anatase phase was observed in films and their diffaction peaks increased with temprature of substrate. The size of crystallites decreased with higher concentration of oxygen. Refractive index and optical absorption of thin films decreased with higher concentration of oxygen. The thin films which have good transmittance spectra and smooth surface, deposited in the sputtering ambient with 10 % of $O_2$ at the temperature from $400{\circ}C$ to $300{\circ}C$.

PbTio3 is a promising material with perovskite structure for pyroelectric sensor applications with its superior pyroelectric properties, low dielectric constants, and low piezoelectric constants. Growth of pyroelectric thin films in general, needs relatively higher temperatures than those of conventional Si semiconductor processing However, low growth temperature is advantageous for the device integration. We report the low temperature (350$^{\circ}C$) growth of PbTio3 thin films by 3-gun DC magnetron reactive sputtering. The effects of substrate temperature, Pb-flux, and total pressure on crystalinity and preferred orientation of PbTio3 thin films are reported.

In this study, photocatalytic degradation and mineralization of bisphenol A (BPA), which has been listed as one of endocrine disruptors, were carried out in the CPC system using $Tio_2$ slurry and UVA irradiation. The degradation efficiency has been investigated under the controlled parameters including initial concentration (5, 10, 20 mg/L), dosage of $Tio_2$ (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 g/L), UVA power (0, 80, 120 W) and temperature (0, 20, 30). At 10mg/L of initial concentration, BPA was degraded above 80% after 10min, BPA were degraded 97% and 49% at 20 mg/L and 30 mg/L, respectively. At $Tio_2$ dosage was 0.1 and 0.5 g/L, the degradations of BPA showed similar trend and were about 70% after 1 hr, and the degradation of BPA was above 80% after 30 min at 1 g/L of $Tio_2$ dosage. The increase of degradation seem to be due to the increase in the total surface area, namely number of active sites, available for the photocatalytic reaction as the dosage of photocatalyst increased. When the UVA power was 120 W, BPA was degraded rapidly above 60% after 10min of reaction time. To investigate the effect of temperature, carried out experiment controlled temperature, there were no significant differences depending on the temperature. After 1hr, the degradation of BPA were 46%, 67%, and 69% at 10, 20 and $30^{\circ}C$.
