When considering the long-term safety assessment of spent-nuclear fuel management, americium is one of the most radio-toxic actinides. Although spectroscopic methods are widely used for the study of actinide chemistry, application of those methods to americium chemistry has been limited. Herein, we purified $^{241}Am$ to obtain a highly pure stock solution required for spectroscopic studies. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of purified $^{241}Am$ were carried out using liquid scintillation counting, and gamma and alpha radiation spectrometry. Highly sensitive absorption spectrometry coupled with a liquid waveguide capillary cell and time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy were employed for the study of Am(III) hydrolysis and oxalate (Ox) complexation. $Am^{3+}$ ions under acidic conditions exhibit maximum absorbance at 503 nm, with a molar absorption coefficient of $424{\pm}8cm^{-1}{\cdot}M^{-1}$. $Am(OH)_3(s)$ colloidal particles formed under near neutral pH conditions were identified by monitoring the absorbance at around 506-507 nm. The formation of ${Am(Ox)_3}^{3-}$ was detected by red-shifts of the absorption and luminescence spectra of 4 and 5 nm, respectively. In addition, considerable enhancements of the luminescence intensities were observed. The luminescence lifetime of ${Am(Ox)_3}^{3-}$ increased from 23 to 56 ns, which indicates that approximately six water molecules are replaced by carboxylate ligands in the inner-sphere of the Am(III). These results suggest that ${Am(Ox)_3}^{3-}$ is formed through the bidentate coordination of the oxalate ligands.

$Y_{1-x}PO_4:{Eu_x}^{3+}$ red phosphors were synthesized with changing the concentration of $Eu^{3+}$ ion by using a solid-state reaction method. The crystal structures of all the red phosphors were found to be a tetragonal system composed of (200) diffraction peak centered at $25.88^{\circ}$, and the morphology of grains approached the spherical form with homeogenous size distribution as the concentration of $Eu^{3+}$ ion increased. As for the photoluminescence properties, all of the ceramic phosphors, irrespective of $Eu^{3+}$ ion concentration, showed the red-orange and the red emission peaked at 593.0 and 619.2 nm respectively. As the concentration of $Eu^{3+}$ ion increased, the excitation spectrum moved into a longer wavelength with the increase of emission intensity. The maximum excitation and the emission spectrum were observed at 0.15 mol of $Eu^{3+}$ ion.

The spectrophotometric determination of nictotine content with barbituric acid buffer solution was carry out. Absorption maximum for the proposed solution appeared at 505 nm and the absorbance remained stable for 15 minute at pH 4.2. Lambert-Beer law was proved to be applicable in the range of nicotine concentration of $7.5\mu{g}/ml$~$25\mu{g}/ml$. According to the analysis of nicotine contents in Burley and Flue-cured tobacco leaves by this method, the relative deviation was obtained to be 2.8% in comparision with the Griffith method.

A new spectrophotometric determination method of scandium in the tin slag solution has been investigated using methyl thymol blue as a colorimetric reagent. Scandium is recovered by the anion exchange resin, Amberlite IRA 400, using the mixture solution of ammonium sulfate and sulfuric acid and an eluent. The mole ratio of complex of scandium and MTB at pH 6 is 1 to 1 and the wave length of the maximum absorbance is 585 nm and the molar absorptivity at this wave length is $2.0 {\times} 10^4\;\iota{\cdot}mol^{-1}{\cdot}cm^{-1}$. When tin slag solution is loaded into anion exchange resin and eluted, ions in the solution except scandium ion are eluted rapidly and scandium is eluted lately. So scandium is recovered easily.

In this study, a new method is presented to produce stable hydrophobic metal alloy nanocluster in chloroform solution including surfactant NaAOT(sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)-sulfosuccinate) via the chemical reduction of metal salt $(HAuCl_4,\AgNO_3,\Cu(NO_3)_2)$ by sodium borohydride. For the alloy nanocluster, several samples were prepared by changing the molar ratio of Au/Cu, Au/Ag alloy nanocluster, 3:1, 1:1, 1:3. The alloy nanoclusters were characterized by UV-Visible spectrophotometer, TEM(Transmission Electron Microscope), and XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer). With the change of the mole ratio of the alloy component, the wavelengths of the surface plasmon absorption shift linearly from 520 nm of the pure Au nanocluster to 570 nm of the pure Cu nanocluster for Au/Cu alloy nanoclusters and from 405 nm to 520 nm for Au/Ag alloy nanoclusters. The chemical shifts of the Au4f, Ag3d, Cu2p XPS peaks were observed with changing the molar ratio of the alloy element. The alloy nanoclusters in chloroform solution were made uniformly in size and colloidally stable for long periods of time. These results indicate that the method here is a very effective method for synthesizing hydrophobic alloy nanoclusters with uniform or nearly uniform particle size distribution.

Recently many efforts have been made to develop new therapeutic agents against skin pigmentation abnormalities. The aim of this study is to investigate the skin-whitening effect of Gleditsia Sinensis Lam and to develop new drug delivery carrier. Inhibitory effaces of Gleditsia Sinensis Lam extracts on melanin synthesis were studied. Namely, UV-absorbing ability, free radical scavenging activity and tyrosinase inhibitory of Gleditsia Sinensis Lam extracts were investigated As a result, the extracts of Gleditsia Sinensis Lam were found to inhibit the activity of tyrosinase. Moreover they absorbed wavelength in the UV-B and UV-C region, and extracts of Gleditsia Sinensis Lam had free radical scavenging activity. In this study, in order to administer these ingredient effectively, the shape of liposome observed by TEM was spherical and uniform.

Si 태양전지의 기전력 형성에 이용되는 빛의 파장범위$(0.4{\mu}m\leq\lambda\leq0.97{\mu}m)$에서 AM1 스펙트럼과 Si 굴절율을 수학적으로 모델링하고 광반사 방지막$(SiO_2)$의 두께에 따른 Si 태양전지의 유효 광 흡수전력을 전산 모사하였다. 전산 모사로부터 얻어진 Si 태양전지의 유효 광흡수전력은 $SiO_2$막의 두께가 $500\AA$과 $1000\AA$일 때 각각 $520\;W/m^2$와 $450\;W/m^2$로 나타났으며, $d(SiO_2)=1000\AA$에서 최대광흡수 특성을 보였다. 광반사 방지막의 처리에 따른 유효 광흡수전력의 차이를 알아보기 위해 $SiO_2$막의 두께를 $500\AA$과 $1000\AA$으로 형성한 2종류의 에피텍셜 베이스 Si 태양전지$[EBS(500\AA),\;EBS(1000\AA)]$를 제작하고 효율특성을 분석한 결과, AM1 $100\;mW/cm^2$ 입사광 아래 $EBS(1000\AA)$ 전지는 $EBS(500\AA)$전지에 비해 효율이 약 $15\%$ 높게 나타났다.

The red pigment extracted from Serratia marcescens 2354 (ATCC 25419) was prodigiosin (PG), which was dissolved in methanol and measured for ultraviolet and visible light absorption spectra. It was the typical absorption spectrum of PG in an acid solution with ${\lambda}_{max}=537nm$. When the concentration of PG was increased from $1.0{\times}10-5M$ to $9.0{\times}10-5M$ in the methanol solution, the absorption intensity at 537 nm was increased, the absorption intensity at 467 nm was decreased, and the isosbestic point at 500 nm was observed. This phenomenon can be regarded as a result of reversible acid-base equilibrium reaction considering 537 nm and 467 nm of PG absorption band in acid and base solution respectively and isosbestic point of 500 nm. On the other hand, when the concentration of PG was reduced from $6.0{\times}10-4$ to $1.0{\times}10-4M$ in acetic acid buffer solution at pH 4.75, a new absorption band with ${\lambda}$ max at 500 nm appeared. This absorption band appears only in the aqueous solution of pH 4.75 and does not appear in the pure methanol solution of the same pH. This is due to the conversion of the PG molecule from the ${\alpha}$-isomer to the ${\beta}$-isomer by $H_2O$. In other words, it was confirmed that the color change of the PG can be caused by the concentration of the solution and the characteristics of the solvent.

Novel carbazole based copolymers were synthesized by Suzuki coupling polymerization. (Diphenylene)vinylene and n-octyl was introduced to carbazole as pendants for reducing band gap and improving solubility, respectively. Thermal, photoluminescence and electro-luminescence of copolymers were studied for applying the emitting layer of polymer light emitting diode (PLED). Maximum UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) emission wavelength of copolymers showed 333~340 nm and 409~464 nm in solution state, respectively. The relative quantum yield using 9,10-diphenylanthracene as a reference was 25.8%. These copolymers exhibited high thermal stability ($T_d$ = $350^{\circ}C$) and good film forming ability. Good luminance was obtained at voltages lower than 8 V and the onset voltage was observed at 4.0 V.
