태양의 광에너지를 전기에너지로 변환하는 태양전지의 재료는 현재 무기반도체가 주를 이루고 있지만 최근 유기반도체가 재료자체 물성의 연구진전과 더불어 태양전지로서 개발가능성이 논하여 지고 있다. 한편 유기반도체의 장점은 1)박막으로 제작이 용이하고 2)대량생산에 의한 저가제조가 가능하며 3)경량화를 할 수 있고 4)그 기능의 다양성을 줄 수 있다는 것이다. 또한 단점은 캐리어 트랩 밀도가 커서 반송자(carrier)의 수명과 이동도가 작고 확산길이도 짧기 때문에 광수집 효율이 매우 낮아 광전변환효율이 낮다는 것이다. 또한 일반적으로 유기반도체는 저항율이 커서 오옴성 접촉이 어렵고 입사광 강도의 증대에 따라 변환효율이 감소하는것도 큰 문제로 되어있다. 따라서 본고에서는 지금까지 유기반도체를 사용한 태양전지의 원리 및 제조기술을 간단히 살펴보고 특성과 연구동향등을 분석하여 앞으로 유기반도체 태양전지의 나아가야할 방향을 찾아보고자 한다.

The light harvesting pigment proteins of dinoflagellates exhibit essentially 100% efficient energy transfer from carotenoid (peridinin) to chlorophyll a within the antenna pigment complexes. The high efficiency of solar energy harvesing (particularly blue light) for photosynthesis in dinoflagellates is attributable to the unique molecular topography of peridinin and chlorophyll e within the protein crevice. The mechanisms of energy transfer from carotenoids to chlorophyll in higher plants have also been discussed in comparison with the dinoflagellate antenna pigment complexes. As an example of solar energy harvesting, particularly red light, for photosynthesis in algae, the molecular topography and energy transfer in the photosynthetic accessory pigment protein, Chroomonas phycocyanin, have also been discussed.

The dark respiration, photosynthesis($CO_2$ refixation), $CO_2$ balance and chlorophyll content of 1st-year conelets and 2nd-year cones of Korean pine(Pinus koraiensis S.et.Z.) were investigated after pollination up to the end of maturation. The results obtained are as follows : 1. The growth of 1st-year conelet was 3.6cm in length. 2.4cm in diameter and 3.058 in dry weighs during the first year. The growth of 2nd-year mature cone was 13.5cm in length, 9.3cm in diameter and 141.0g in dry weight in the late of 2nd-year. 2. The refixation of carbon dioxide released from a cone by the dark respiration was less than 50 percent at light saturation through the growing period. The refixation of carbon dioxide released by dark respiration for one year was 7.3 percent in 1st-year conelets and 8.7 percent in 2nd-year cones. 3. The dark respiration rate of cones by increasing temperature was rapidly increased with increasing temperature up to $25^{\circ}C$. The dark respiration rate of cones was much higher in non-growing season than that in growing season at the same temperature. 4. The rates of dark respiration and $CO_2$ refixation, based on the dry weight, were much higher in 1st-year conelet than that in 2nd-year cone. 5. The $CO_2$ balance for a cone was negative from pollination to the end of maturation. The net dark respiration loss for a cone was 7.23g $CO_2$/year in 1st-year conelet and 164.8g $CO_2$/year in 2nd-year cone. 6. The respiratory loss efficiency for a cone(=$CH_2O$ weight calculated by net dark respiration/dry weight of cone) for one year was 1.61 in 1st-year conelet and 0.81 in 2nd-year cone for one year. 7. The total chlorophyll content of surface scale of the cone was lower than 2mg/g dw through the growing period, and chl. a/b ratio was 2 to 3.

This research used High Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC) to analyze and compare the content and the pattern of chlorophyll to find the difference in quality, water temperature, and the stirring time between the three different types of Korean and Japanese powder green tea, which were currently on the market. Chlorophyll contents of Japanese-made medium quality tea (S5: 8.34mg/g), and low quality tea (S6: 8.23mg/g) were relatively high, and that of Korean-made medium quality tea (S2 ; 4.87mg/g) was lower. The water temperature of 85$^{\circ}C$ and 95$^{\circ}C$ were high except in Korean-made medium and low quality powder green tea (S2 and S3). Japanese-made powder tea required 60 seconds of stirring time and Korean-made tea required 15 seconds, but 30 seconds seem to be the ideal stirring time for both of them. Chlorophyll a, b, pheophytin a, b, and pheophorbide were confirmed from the chlorophyll pattern. There were 1.5∼2 times more of chlorophyll a in Japanese-made one compared to that of Korean-made one; also 1.5∼2 times more of pheophytin a in Korean-made one than Japanese-made one. It might be concluded that Japanese-made powder green tea was higher in quality.

The effects of Al and Mn concentration on dry weight growth, nutrient status and gas exchange rates of 2-Year-old Japanese red pine(Pinus densiflora) seedlings grown in a nutrient culture solution were investigated. Al was added as aluminum chloride at 0, 10, 30 or 60ppm, and Mn was added as manganese chloride at 0, 30 or 60ppm to the nutrient culture solution. The pH of the solution was maintained at 4.0 by adding HCl or NaOH solution. The seedlings were transplanted into the nutrient culture solution, then they were grown in a greenhouse for 90 days. The interactive effects of Al and Mn on the dry weight growth of the seedlings were not significant. There were a main effect of Al or Mn on the dry weight growth and element concentrations of the seedlings. The treatment with Al of ${\geq}10ppm$ or that with Mn of 60ppm induced a significant reduction in the dry weight growth, which indicates that the effect of Al is stronger than that of Mn. The chlorophyll content of needles was not affected by Al treatment, but was significantly reduced by treatment with Mn of 60ppm. Furthermore, the treatment with Al of 60ppm or that with Mn of ${\geq}30ppm$ caused a significant reduction in the dark respiration rate of the roots. The net photosynthetic rate of the seedlings reduced with increasing the concentration of Al or Mn in the nutrient culture solution, which suggests that Al or Mn induced reductions in the relative growth rate(RGR) and net assimilation rate(NAR) of the seedlings were mainly due to the decrease of net photosynthesis.
