GaN는 직접천이형 wide band gap(3.4eV) 반도체로서 청색/자외선 발광소자 및 고출력 전자장비등에의 응용성 때문에 폭넓게 연구되고 있다. 이러한 넓은 분야의 응용을 위해서는 열 적으로 안정된 Ohmic contact을 반드시 실현되어야 한다. n-type GaN의 경우에는 GaN계면에서의 N vacancy가 n-type carrier로 작용하기 때문에 Ti, Al, 같은 금속을 접합하여 nitride를 형성함에 의해서 낮은 접촉저항을 갖는 Ohmic contact을 하기가 쉽다. 그러나 p-type의 경우에는 일 함수가 크고 n-type와 다르게 nitride가 형성되지 않는 금속이 Ohmic contact을 할 가능성이 많다. 시료는 HF(HF:H2O=1:1)에서 10분간 초음파 세척을 한 후 깨끗한 물에 충분히 헹구었다. 그런 후에 고순도 Ar 가스로 건조시켰다. Pd와 Ni은 열적 증착법(thermal evaporation)을 사용하여 p-GaN에 상온에서 증착하였다. 현 연구에서는 열처리에 의한 Pd의 clustering을 줄이기 위해서 wetting이 좋은 Ni을 Pd 증착 전과 후에 삽입하였으며, monchromatic XPS(x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) 와 SAM(scanning Auger microscopy)을 사용하여 열처리 전과 40$0^{\circ}C$, 52$0^{\circ}C$ 그리고 695$0^{\circ}C$에서 3분간 열처리 후의 온도에 따른 morphology 변화, 계면반응(interfacial reaction) 및 벤드 휨(band bending)을 비교 연구하였다. Nls core level peak를 사용한 band bending에서 Schottky barrier height는 Pd/Ni bi-layer 접합시 2.1eV를, Ni/Pd bi-layer의 경우에 2.01eV를 얻었으며, 이는 Pd와 Ni의 이상적인 Schottky barrier height 값 2.38eV, 2.35eV와 비교해 볼 때 매우 유사한 값임을 알 수 있다. 시료를 후열처리함에 의해 52$0^{\circ}C$까지는 barrier height는 큰 변화가 없으나, $650^{\circ}C$에서 3분 열처리 후에 0.36eV, 0.28eV 만큼 band가 더 ？을 알 수 있었다. Pd/Ni 및 Ni/Pd 접합시 $650^{\circ}C$까지 후 열 처리 과정에서 계면에서 matallic Ga은 온도에 비례하여 많은 양이 형성되어 표면으로 편석(segregation)되어지나, In-situ SAM을 이용한 depth profile을 통해서 Ni/Pd, Pd/Ni는 증착시 uniform하게 성장함을 알 수 있었으며, 후열처리 함에 의해서 점차적으로 morphology 의 변화가 일어나기 시작함을 볼 수 있었다. 이는 $650^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 한후의 ex-situ AFM을 통해서 재확인 할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로부터 GaN에 Pd를 접합 시 심한 clustering이 형성되어 Ohoic contact에 문제가 있으나 Pd/Ni 혹은 Ni/Pd bi-layer를 사용함에 의해서 clustering의 크기를 줄일 수 있었다. Clustering의 크기는 Ni/Pd bi-layer의 경우가 작았으며, $650^{\circ}C$ 열처리 후에 barrier height는 Pd/Ni bi-layer의 경우에도 Ni의 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the dielectric breakdown of epoxy composites used for transformers was experimented and then its data were simulated by Weibull distribution probability. The dielectric breakdown characteristics origin in epoxy composites were examined and various effects of dielectric breakdown on epoxy composites were also discussed. As a result, first of all, speaking of dielectric breakdown properties, the more hardener increased the stronger breakdown strength at low temperature because of cross-linked density by the virtue of ester radical. And the breakdown strength of specimens with filler was lower than it of non-filler specimens because it is believed that the adding filler forms interface and charge is accumulated in it, therefore the molecular motility is raised, the electric field is concentrated, and the acceleration of electron and the growth of electron avalanche are early accomplished. In the case of filled specimens with treating silane, the breakdown strength become much higher since this suggests that silane coupling agent improves interfacial combination and relaxs electric field concentration. Finally, from the analysis of weibull distribution, it was confirmed that as the allowed breakdown probability was given by 0.1%, the applied field value needed to be under 21.5㎹/cm.

An analytical method for the simultaneous measurement of trace Cu, Sn, and Bi in blood and urine has been investigated by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Microwave oven was used for the pretreatment of blood samples using nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide in a closedvessel digestion system with 1 mL whole blood for 8 minutes. Amberlite IRC-718 resin was used as a solid phase in solid-liquid extraction technique for the removal of matrix interferences such as Na, S, P, and other polyatomic ion species. Detection limits for Cu, Sn, and Bi by this method were 0.000375 ng/mL, 0.000297 ng/mL, and 0.000174 ng/mL, respectively. Recoveries of 99.1% for Cu, 102.5% for Sn, and 98.4% for Bi were obtained for the standard spiked NIST SRM 955a blood sample. The developed method was applied for whole real blood and urine samples.

Cisplatin is a platinum-containing antitumor agent with nephrotoxic and neurotoxic side effects. An analytical method for measuring cisplatin in plasma by FAAS was developed, which is rapid, simple and need no sample preparation. The linearity test of calibration curve in the range of 20~1000 ng/mL showed good correlation coefficient of r=0.999. The result of accuracy test appeared to be relative standard deviation of < 5.0% at concentration range from 50 to 1000 ng/mL. When $200{\mu}L$ of plasma was used, detection limit was 10 ng/mL. Therefore, it can be applied for the monitoring in plasma for optimal condition of treatment and reduce of toxicity.

Characteristics of biological hydrogen production rate and organic acid under anaerobic fermentation process were investigated with sugar wastewater. Hydrogen production rate was higher with alkaline pre-treatment than acidic pre-treatment, resulting in 70% increment. An adequate supply of the nutrients (N or P) into raw sugar wastewater could increase hydrogen production rate. Carbohydrate degradation of the anaerobic fermentation process was not directly related with hydrogen production. Sugar wastewater with the addition of the nutrients shows 3 times higher B/A ratio than the raw sugar wastewater. B/A ratio of the wastewater with alkaline pre-treatment and nutrients addition was most higher than other samples, showing 4.02 of B/A ratio. Higher B/A ratio shows higher hydrogen production rate at each sample.

A radioimmunoassay technique has been developed for the quantitative analysis of Abscisic acid (ABA). The antibody, obtained by immunizing rabbits against a conjugate of ABA with human serum albumin, had a high affinity (Ka=3.28x10$\^$13/l/mol) for ABA. The use of $^3$H-labelled ABA as tracer and of dextran-coated charcoal for separation of free ABA from antibody-bound ABA permitted detection of as little as 0.5x10$\^$-12/ mol ABA. The measuring range extended to 14x10$\^$-12/ mol. Because of the high specificity of this immunoassay, no extract purification steps were required prior to analysis. And then, only 2 hr in radioimmunoassay was required to ABA analysis. From these results, it is suggested using this assays that more than hundreds samples can be assayed sensitive and simple per day for ABA.

For the effecient extraction methods of essential oil, pretreatment of leaves, ratios of water and leaves, extraction time, and collection season from the Chamaecyparis obtusa and Chamaecyparis pisifera leaves were studied. The chemical composition of essential oil was analyzed by GC-MS. The yield of essential oil from ground leaves was higher than that of chopped leaves. The yield of essential oil was not affected much by mixing ratios of water and leaves. The yield of essential oil reached maximum after 5 hours. The content of essential oil of C. obtusa leaves collected during winter was 4.5%, whereas the content of essential oil of C. pisifera collected during fall was 5.3%. The composition of essential oils extracted form C. obrusa and C. pisifera was different. The major constituents in the essential oil of C. obtusa were monoterpene as limonene, terpinene-4-ol, ${\gamma}$-selinene, and a-cedrene, and those of C. pisifera was monoterpens as ${\alpha}$-pinene, myrcene, limonene, bornyl acetate, ${\beta}$- caryophyllene, longifolene, and ${\beta}$-cedrene.

We herein report the development of an agarose-gel-immobilized recombinant bacterial biosensor simple system for the field monitoring of phenolic compounds. Escherichia coli cells harboring the pLZCapR plasmid, which was previously designed to express the ${\beta}$-galactosidase reporter gene in the presence of phenolic compounds, were co-immobilized with a substrate [chlorophenol red ${\beta}$-galactopyranoside (CPRG) in agarose gel, and dispensed to the wells of a 96-well plate. Field samples were added to the wells and color development was monitored. In the presence of 5 ${\mu}M$ to 10 mM of phenol, the biosensor developed a red (representing hydrolysis of CPRG) color. Other phenolic compounds were also detected by this immobilized system, with the pattern resembling that previously reported for the corresponding non-immobilized biosensor. The immobilized cells showed optimum activity when the gel was simultaneously supplemented with 6% dimethyl formamide (DMF), 0.1% SDS and 10 mM $CaCl_2$. The immobilized biosensor described herein does not require the addition of a substrate or the use of unwieldy instruments or sample pretreatments that could complicate field studies.

When the polymer was used for the guard raw materials of electronic device, the content of U, Th and their daughter nuclides were known as a factor of soft error. Because emitted alpha ray could be caused of mis-operation. And ionic impurities such as Cl, Fe, Na could shorten the device life-time. For the analysis of trace impurities in the polymer, neutron activation analysis(NAA) and ICP/AES have been studied. To improve the accuracy and sensitivity of the trace and ultratrace metallic impurities in the epoxy and phenol polymer, sample pretreatment method and optimum analytical condition of NAA were developed. Using the above method, U, Th and other 23 trace impurity elements were analyzed.
