Nanostructures consisting of $TiO_2$ particles as a core and carbon as a shell ($TiO_2$@C) were prepared by heat treatment of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles at high temperature in a methane atmosphere. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy showed that a carbon shell layer was formed well. These structures were used as supports for platinum nanoparticles and the hybrid particles exhibit improved catalytic activity and stability toward ORR compared to Pt on a carbon black (Vulcan XC-72R). It is likely that enhanced catalytic properties of the Pt on $TiO_2$@C could be due to the stability of the core-shell support in comparison with carbon black support.

유기물/무기물 하이브리드 나노 복합체를 사용하여 제작한 비휘발성 유기 메모리 소자는 공정의 간편성과 휘어짐이 가능한 장점을 가지고 있어 많은 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나 대부분의 좋은 전기적 성능을 갖는 소자에 포함되는 나노 입자는 독성을 가지거나 가격이 비싸다는 단점을 갖고 있다. 인체진화적이며 가격이 저렴한 나노입자를 이용한 비휘발성 메모리 소자에 대한 전기적 성능의 안정성에 대한 연구는 미미한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인체친화적 $CuInS_2(CIS)$-ZnS 코어-쉘 나노 입자가 분산되어 있는 poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) 박막을 사용하여 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 제작하여 전기적 성능과 안정성에 대한 연구를 하였다. 인체친화적 CIS-ZnS 나노입자를 포함한 PMMA 용액을 Al 하부전극을 가진 p-Si (100) 기판 위에 스핀코팅 방법으로 균일하게 도포 하였다. 남아 있는 용매를 완전히 제거하기 위해 열을 가해 CIS-ZnS 나노입자가 분산되어 있는 PMMA 나노 복합체를 형성하였다. CIS-ZnS 나노입자를 포함한 PMMA 박막 위에 금속 마스크를 사용하여 Al 상부전극을 열 증착 방법으로 형성하여 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 완성하였다. 정전용량-전압 (C-V) 측정을 하여 평탄 전압 이동을 관찰하였고, CIS-ZnS 나노입자의 역할을 알아보기 위해 나노입자가 없는 PMMA 박막을 갖는 소자를 제작하여 동일한 조건에서 C-V 측정을 하였다. 소자의 안정성을 알아보기 위해 평탄 전압-유지 시간 (Vth-t) 측정을 수행하였다. Vth-t 측정은 CIS-ZnS 나노입자가 전하 포획 장소로 사용할 수 있는 것과 전기적 안정성을 갖고 있는 것을 확인하였다. C-V와 Vth-t 측정결과 및 에너지 대역도를 사용하여 CIS-ZnS 나노입자가 분산되어 있는 PMMA 박막을 포함한 나노 복합체를 사용하여 제작한 이용한 비휘발성 메모리 소자에서 전하수송 메커니즘을 설명하였다.

Simple and useful synthetic process to control the morphology of block copolymers (BCPs) is required for implementation in various device applications. However, the conventional method to use colloidal templates is not enough to realize the production of pure and massive core-shell nanoparticles due to the cost-intensive complex process. Here, we introduce a novel and facile synthesis method to realize the formation of core-shell $SiO_x$ nanoparticle power by employing an immersion annealing of a sphere-forming poly(styrene-b-dimethylsiloxane) (PS-b-PDMS) BCP. We successfully obtained a PS-encapsulated $SiO_x$ nanoparticle with a diameter of ~20 nm. In addition, we analyzed how the mixing ratio of heptane/ethanol affects the BCP morphology of self-assembled PS-b-PDMS nanoparticles, showing a worm-like structure under the optimum immersion conditions. This useful approach is expected to be extendable to other solvent-based BCP synthesis, providing a new guideline for unique BCP production.

Efforts are actively underway to address the issues related to the high cost of Pt-based catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions by designing high-performance Pt-based alloys through the control of their nanostructures. In this study, a method was proposed to control the nanostructure of Pt-based alloys, either hollow or core-shell, by adjusting the pH of the solution during the galvanic replacement reaction between the carbon-supported nickel-nickel nitride composite and the Pt ions. The physical characteristics, including the state, quantity, and morphology of the metal particles under different preparation conditions, were evaluated through X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and inductively coupled plasma. When the prepared catalysts were employed for the oxygen reduction reaction, they exhibited an improvement in area specific-activity compared to a commercial Pt/C, with a 1.7 and 1.9-fold enhancement for the hollow and core-shell structured catalysts, respectively.

The magneto-impedance effect (MI effect) has been investigated in metal core/soft magnetic shell composite wires fabricated by electrodeposition of $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ on Cu wire (diameter $190{\mu}m$). The diagonal impedances $Z_{zz}$ and $Z_{{\theta}{\theta}}$ in cylindrical coordinate showed strong MI effect for the magnetic field applied along z-axis, while the off-diagonal impedance $Z_{{\theta}z}$ showed very weak MI effect. We have tried to develop the Cu $core/Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ shell composite wire having strong MI effect in off-diagonal impedance by electrodeposion under torsional strain. The core/shell composite wire electrodeposited under torsional angles above $270^{\circ}$ showed significantly enhanced MI effect in the off-diagonal impedance. The maximum MI effect was observed in the composite wire electrodeposited under torsional angle of $360^{\circ}$. The developed method to enhance off-diagonal MI effect is expected to increase the applicability of the core/shell composite wire to magnetic sensor material.

ZnS:Mn/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs), were synthesized via a thermal decomposition reaction of organometallic precursors in a hot solvent mixture. The synthetic conditions of the quantum dots were monitored at various reaction temperatures for the core formation, while the shell formation temperature was fixed at 135$^{\circ}C$. The obtained colloidal nanocrystals at corresponding temperatures were characterized by UV-Vis, solution photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies, and further obtained powders were characterized by XRD, HR-TEM, and EDXS analyses. The synthetic temperature condition to obtain the best PL emission intensity for the core-shell QD was 135$^{\circ}C$, for both core and shell formation. At this temperature, solution PL spectrum showed a narrow emission peak at 583 nm with a relative PL quantum efficiency of 42.15%. In addition, the measured spherical particle sizes for the ZnS:Mn/ZnS nanocrystals via HR-TEM were in the range of 4.0 to 5.4 nm, while ellipsoidal particles were obtained at 150$^{\circ}C$.

Shell core making is an excellent process in terms of formability and desanding, but when the molten aluminum comes into con- tact with the shell core, gas generation by pyrolysis of the resin is inevitable. In addition, when the ventilation is inadequate, pores will remain inside the casting, which can directly lead to defects of the casting. While studies on the gas generation behavior of shell core making have been reported, the modeling of gas generation has not been extensively investigated. We will develop a gas evolution analysis method that considers the relationship between temperature and gas quantity for the core to be developed. We then use the developed method to analyze the flow and solidification behavior of metal molten metal during core mold design and low-pressure casting of cylinder head products, and predict the occurrence of casting defects to derive a casting method that min- imizes the occurrence of defects.

We demonstrated unique inter- and intra-plasmonic coupling effects in bimetallic Au@Ag core-shell NP arrays which are regularly or randomly arranged on self-assembled block copolymer (BCP) inverse micelle monolayers. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-stabilized Au@Ag core-shell NP arrays in regular or disordered configuration were incorporated and assembled on reconstructed PS-b-P4VP inverse micelle templates through two types of processes. The intensively enhanced LSPR coupling properties of individual and assembled Au@Ag NPs were evaluated by UV-visible spectroscopy in terms of the type of ligand stabilizer, coupling between Au and Ag, thickness of Ag shell, and type of array configuration. Finally, Au@Ag core-shell NP arrays were employed as active substrates for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and a significantly enhanced signal enhancement was observed in accordance with the coupling intensity of Au@Ag NPs patterns.
