In Korea, a total of 556 chemical accidents occurred from 2012 to 2018 caused by adverse reactions of two or more chemicals, which required significant amounts of time to identify the causative chemicals. Rapid analysis is required for effective incident response and probing. In this study, a quantum transition time-of-flight mass spectrometer was used to identify the causative agents of chemical accidents caused by adverse reactions. The analyzer enabled fast real-time analysis without the need for sample collection and pretreatment. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of most volatile organic compounds with high hydrogen affinity was performed to investigate the cause of the chemical accidents. In fact, in the month of 201◯, methanol and toluene were detected as causative agents of the accident using a quantum transition time mass spectrometer, and were also the cause of the reported odor.

분자의 진동(특히, 뒤틀림 운동)은 분자의 반응성과 동역학적 특성을 결정하는 중요한 요인이다. 특히, 분자내 메틸기의 뒤틀림 운동은 매우 흔히 관찰되지만, 이 운동을 분광학 실험으로 관찰하고 이론적으로 설명하는 것은 여전히 어려운 과제이다. 여러 양자화학 소프트웨어가 상용화되어 있지만, 뒤틀림 운동과 같은 주기적인 퍼텐셜 에너지를 갖는 운동을 기술하기 위해서는 뒤틀림 운동을 위한 양자화학 솔버가 필요하다. 따라서, 우리는 EDISON의 양자화학 솔버(1차원 슈레딩거 방정식(LagChem), 작은 유기 분자의 분광스펙트럼 분석을 위한 양자 소프트웨어(SGU-QASSO))들을 이용하여 $2-C_3H_5Br$의 ZEKE/MATI (J.Chem.Phys.119,12351(2003),Zero kinetic energy/mass-analyzed threshold ionization)스펙트럼을 이해하고 해석해보았다. $2-C_3H_5Br$ 분자는 메틸기의 강한 뒤틀림 운동을 관찰 할 수 있는 비교적 간단한 분자이기 때문에 뒤틀림 운동 분석을 위한 실험대상으로 적절하다(J.Chem.Phys.119,12352(2003)). $2-C_3H_5Br$ 분자의ZEKE/MATI스펙트럼의 결과는 EDISON양자화학 솔버를 통해 성공적으로 재현되었다. 각 진동 전이의 진동수와 세기는 실험 결과와 일치했으며, 진동 상태에 따른 파동 함수도 구할수 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 thietane 분자와 같은 고리분자의 ring-puckering운동에 대해 이해하려 한다.

Chemical accidents occur in various forms, such as explosions, leaks, spills, and fires. In particular, chemical accidents caused by fires seriously affect the surrounding air environment due to soot, causing anxiety to the residents. Therefore, it is important to identify the causative substances quickly and examine the influence of air quality in the surrounding area. In this paper, proton transfer reaction-time of flight mass spectrometry(PTR-ToFMS) was used to identify the causative material in a fire and monitor the air quality in real time. This analyzer is capable of real-time analysis with a rapid response time without sample collection and pretreatment. In addition, it is suitable for quantitative and qualitative analysis of most volatile organic compounds with high hydrogen affinity, to identify the cause of fire and examine the influence of ambient air. In April 2018, when a local fire occurred, methanol, acetone, and methyl ethyl ketone were the main causative agents in PTR-ToFMS.

As high-performance quantum computers are expected to be developed, studies are being actively conducted to build a post-quantum security system that is safe from potential quantum computer attacks. When the Grover's algorithm, a representative quantum algorithm, is used to search for a secret key in a symmetric key cryptography, there may be a safety problem in that the security strength of the cipher is reduced to the square root. NIST presents the post-quantum security strength estimated based on the cost of the Grover's algorithm required for an attack of the cryptographic algorithm as a post-quantum security requirement for symmetric key cryptography. The estimated cost of Grover's algorithm for the attack of symmetric key cryptography is determined by the quantum circuit complexity of the corresponding encryption algorithm. In this paper, the quantum circuit of the SCHWAEMM algorithm, AEAD family of SPARKLE, which was a finalist in NIST's lightweight cryptography competition, is efficiently implemented, and the quantum cost to apply the Grover's algorithm is analyzed. At this time, the cost according to the CDKM ripple-carry adder and the unbounded Fan-Out adder is compared together. Finally, we evaluate the post-quantum security strength of the lightweight cryptography SPARKLE SCHWAEMM algorithm based on the analyzed cost and NIST's post-quantum security requirements. A quantum programming tool, ProjectQ, is used to implement the quantum circuit and analyze its cost.

Frequency detector is a circuit that converts the frequency to a digital representation and finds its application in various fields such as modulator and synchronization circuitry. In this paper, a couple of first-order and second-order frequency discriminator structures are modeled and analyzed with their quantization noise sources. Also a delta-sigma frequency detector architecture is proposed. Through theoretical analysis and derived equations, the output noise is obtained, which is validated by simulation. The proposed all-digital frequency discriminator may be applied in the feedback path of the all-digital phase-locked loop.

In this study, a Proton-Transfer Reaction-Time-of-Flight Mass spectrometer (PTR-TOF-MS) was used for the continuous monitoring of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emitted from semiconductor workplace such as photolithography (PHOTO), flat panel display (FPD), organic light emitting diode (OLED), etching (WET) process. The averaged VOCs mixing ratio in the such workplace, PHOTO was 6.5 ppm, FPH was 6.4 ppm, WET was 2.0 ppm and OLED was 1.3 ppm, respectively. The abundance of VOCs in the workplace were methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) with 2.8 ppm (69%) and acetaldehyde with 0.5 ppm (13.2%). Depending on the semiconductor process characteristics, various VOCs have been observed in the workplace. The VOCs mixing ratio are lower than the workplace regulation standard (TWA), it is necessary to continuously monitor and effectively manage these VOCs.

태양전지 셀에서 표면 반사에 의한 태양광 손실을 보다 적게 하여 흡수량 증가시킬 필요가 있다. 태양전지에서 생성된 전자 정공 수집 향상을 위해 금속 재질로 이루어진 그리드 전극을 사용한다. 이때 금속 그리드에 입사되는 태양광은 대부분 반사되어 입사광의 손실로 이어진다. 본 연구에서는 결정질 실리콘 태양전지에서 표면 그리드에 의한 광학적 손실을 반사율을 통해 확인하였고 양자효율을 측정하여 보았다. 결정질 실리콘 태양전지 표면 반사율 측정은 적분구를 사용하였고, 측정에 사용된 태양전지 샘플은 일반적인 구조의 결정질 실리콘 태양전지이다. 실험은 표면 그리드 공정 전 후의 샘플로 실험을 진행하였고, 셀의 표면 균일도에 의한 확인을 위하여 동일한 면적 비율의 입사광을 조사하여 반복 실험을 하였다. 양자효율 측정은 광학 초퍼를 통한 광원과 분광기 및 검출기를 포함하는 태양전지 특성 분석 장치를 사용하였다. 그 결과 특정 파장 대역에서 그리드의 유무에 따른 반사율의 변화와 이에 따른 양자효율의 변화를 통하여 그리드에 의한 결정질 실리콘 태양전지의 특성변화에 대해 알아보았다.

In this study, characteristics of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter were investigated on the condition of DPF regeneration and normal DPF condition. THC, CO, $CO_2$, NOx, and $CH_4$ were analyzed by MEXA-7200H and CVS-7100 respectively. Particulate Matter (PM) was measured by difference in weight of Membrane filter. Particle Number (PN) was measured by CPC analyzer. And Sulfate, Nitrate, Organic were measured by Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS). As a result, gaseous pollutants and particulate matter were detected in higher concentration during DPF regeneration than normal DPF condition. And the PN increased by 94%, the fuel consumption was reduced by 29% on DPF generation process. Sulfate, Nitrate and Organic were undetectable level during normal DPF condition. But the highest concentration of Sulfate, Nitrate and Organic were measured as $100{\mu}g/m^3$, $20{\mu}g/m^3$ and $15{\mu}g/m^3$ respectively on DPF regeneration condition. VOCs concentrations (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene) were analyzed by using PTR-MS. Benzene and Toluene emission have little or no change depending on DPF regeneration. But the Ethylbenzene and Xylene have comparatively low emissions on DPF regeneration.

본 논문에서는 InP 기판에 자발형성법 (Self-assembled Mode)으로 성장한 InAs/InAlGaAs 양자점(Quantum Dots)의 외부 열처리 온도에 따른 광학적 특성을 논의한다. 분자선증착기 (Molecular Beam Epitaxy, VH80MBE)로 5주기 적층구조를 갖는 InAs/InAlGaAs 양자점 시료 (기준시료)를 성장 후 온도 의존성 및 여기광세기 의존성 포토루미네슨스 (photoluminescence, PL) 분광법으로 기본특성을 평가하였다. 양자점 시료를 $500{\sim}800^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 수행하고 광학적 특성을 열처리 전과 비교하여 분석하였다. $550^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 InAs/InAlGaAs 양자점 시료의 저온 (11K) PL 파장은 1465 nm를 보였으며, 이는 열처리를 하지 않은 기준시료의 1452 nm 보다 13 nm 장파장으로 이동하였다. 열처리 온도가 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상인 경우, 양자점 PL 파장이 다시 단파장으로 이동하는 현상을 보였지만 여전히 열처리하지 않은 기준시료보다 장파장을 나타내었다. $700^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 양자점 시료의 저온 PL 광세기는 기준시료보다 15.5배 더 크게 나타났으며, 주변 온도가 증가할수록 더디게 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 온도의존성 PL로부터 구한 활성화에너지 (Activation Energy)는 $700^{\circ}C$ 열처리 온도의 경우 175.9 meV를 나타내었다. InAs/InAlGaAs 양자점 시료의 열처리 온도에 따른 광특성 변화를 InAs 양자점과 InAlGaAs 장벽층 계면에서 III족 원소인 In, Al 및 Ga의 상호확산과 결함이 완화되는 현상으로 해석할 수 있다.

Michelson 간섭계에 결맞음광을 입사시킬 때와 비고전광인 수 상태광을 입사시켰을 때의 위상감도에 대하여 이론적으로 계산하여 비교하였다. 수 상태광이 입사하는 경우라도 고전광인 결맞음광에서의 한계를 능가할 수 없음을 보였으며, 두 경우 모두 위상차의 불확정도 $\Delta$$ heta$는 1/(equation omitted) (N은 광자수)에 비례하였다. 또한 사용하는 광검출기의 양자효율에 따라 $\Delta$$\theta$가 어떤 영향을 받는지 분석하였다. (중략)
