In this paper, we evaluated the performance of the automatic classifier applied for the discrimination of acute alcoholic liver injury and chronic liver fibrosis. The classifier uses the discriminant peaks of the preprocessed Raman spectrum as a feature set. In preprocessing step, we subtract baseline and apply Savitzky-Golay smoothing filter which is known to be useful at preserving peaks. After identifying discriminant peaks from the spectra, we carried out the classification experiments using MAP and neural networks. According to the experimental results, the classifier shows the promising results to diagnosis alcoholic liver injury and chronic liver fibrosis. Classification results over 80% means that the peaks used as a feature set is useful for diagnosing liver disease.

Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are the most common neurodegenerative disorders. In this paper, we proposed a feature extraction method for classification of AD and PD based on micro-Raman spectra from platelet. The first step of the preprocessing is a simple smoothing followed by background elimination to the original spectra to make it easy to measure the intensity of the peaks. The last step of the preprocessing was peak alignment with the reference peak. After the inspection of the preprocessed spectra, we found that proportion of two peak intensity at 743 and $757cm^{-1}$ and peak intensity at 1248 and $1448cm^{-1}$ are the most discriminative features. Then we apply mapstd method for normalization. The method returned data with means to 0 and deviation to 1. With these three features, the classification result involving 263 spectra showed about 95.8% true classification in case of MAP(maximum a posteriori probability).

The effect of the silicon acrylate as a reactive additive on the UV-curing photopolymerization reaction was studied by micro raman technique. For the study, acrylate systems and Darocur 1173 were used as oligomer and monomers, and a photo initiator, respectively. The content of silicon acrylate was within the range of 0-3 wt%. The extent of photo-polymerization reaction as a function of depth from the air interface was obtained from the conversion ratio of acrylate double bond calculated from the intensities of measured bands at $1410cm^{-1}$ and at $1635cm^{-1}$. Micro raman spectroscopic technique can be an useful tool for the investigation of the factors, which can affect the reaction progress, such as oxygen inhibition, composition of the formulations, depth, etc.

In order to monitor in situ electrochemical reaction we prepared the gold microshells on silica microspheres of $2{\mu}m$ in diameter which were able to not only work as electrodes but also surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active substrates. Previously reported gold microshell using polystyrene as core material have a few serious problems, mostly coming from solubility in organic solvent, nonuniform distribution in size and toxicity of the polystyrene. Here we prepared silica core-gold microshell to obtain a strong SERS active platform benefitting from the physicochemical stability, uniformity and non-toxicity of silica. Varying the concentration of 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES), the surfaces of silica beads were modified and the optimal condition was determined to be 1% APTES that made the SERS activity of gold microshell strongest. The gold microshells as made were characterized by homemade Micro-Raman system spectrometer, Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope.

그라핀(graphene)은 탄소 원자의 2차원 육각형 $sp^2$ 결합체로서 탄소 나노구조체가 가지는 여러 가지 우수한 특성을 보유하면서 대면적 기판 위에서 소자구현 및 투명전극 등으로의 우수한 응용성 때문에 고품질 그라핀 제조와 물리적 특성, 소자응용에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근 그라핀 제조를 위한 여러 가지 방법이 개발되고 있으나 화학적 박리법이 저비용으로 대량생산을 위해 가장 유리한 방법으로 주목을 받고 있다. 화학적 박리법은 벌크 그라파이트를 강한 산을 이용하여 산화시켜 형성된 산화 그라파이트(graphite oxide)을 열적으로 팽창시켜 박리하고 환원하여 그라핀으로 제조하는 것이다. 보통 열적팽창을 위해서 열처리 로를 사용하게 되는데, 본 연구에서는 박리를 보다 효율적으로 진행시키고 고품질의 그라핀을 얻기 위해 마이크로웨이브를 이용한 박리법을 적용하였다. 마이크로웨이브는 설비가 간단하고 매우 균일하게 열팽창을 시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 대량생산에서도 유리할 것으로 기대하였다. 천연 그라파이트(99.9%, 평균입도 $200{\mu}m$)를 Hummer 방법에 따라 $H_2SO_4$와 $KMnO_4$를 사용하여 산화시키고 필터링 후 마이크로웨이브를 조사하였다. 이후 환원 처리를 거쳐 그라핀을 제조하였다. 라만스펙트럼 및 투과전자현미경으로 분석한 결과 우수한 품질의 그라핀이 형성되었음을 알 수 있었다. 그라핀의 두께 및 품질은 마이크로웨이브의 인가시간 및 반복 횟수가 증가함에 따라 크게 영향받는 것을 확인하였다. 본 발표에서는 마이크로웨이브를 사용한 산화 그라파이트 박리 및 그라핀 제조라는 새로운 시도와 주요변수에 따른 그라핀 특성에 관한 결과를 논의할 것이다.

For the simplification of doping process in amorphous carbon film, arsenic (As) ions were implanted on the nucleated silicon wafer before the growth process. Then amorphous carbon films were grown at the condition of $CH_4/H_2=5%$ by microwave plasma chemical vapour deposition. Because the implanted seeds were grown at the high temperature and the implanted ions were spread, it was possible to reduce the process steps by leaving out the annealing process. When the implanted amorphous carbon films were electrically characterized in diode configuration, field emission current of $0.1mA/cm^2$ was obtained at the applied electric field of about $2.5V/{\mu}m$. The results show that the implanted As ions were sufficiently doped by the self-annealing process by using the growth after implantation.
