The laser ablation/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry is applied to the isotopic analysis of solid samples using a home-made instrument. The technique is convenient for solid sample analysis due to the onestep process of vaporization and ionization of the samples. The analyzed samples were lead, cadmium, molybdenum, and ytterbium. To optimize the analytical conditions of the technique, several parameters, such as laser energy, laser wavelength, size of the laser beam on the samples surface, and high voltages applied on the ion source electrodes were varied. Low energy of laser light was necessary to obtain the optimal mass resolution of spectra. The 532 nm light generated mass spectra with the higher signal-to-noise ratio compared with the 355 nm light. The best mass resolution obtained in the present study is ~1,500 for the ytterbium.

The extraction of precious metals from aqueous solutions is performed by using a photoredox reaction with a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The metallic silver was efficiently precipitated and extracted from the silver nitrate solution by laser photolysis. An optimum reaction condition for silver extraction was determined by adjusting various experimental factors such as type of reducing agent, type of acids and reaction time. The composition of the reaction product was analyzed and it was identified as metallic silver, not other molecular types. The photoreaction of chromium(III) chloride in an acidic aqueous solution was also investigated. The 355 nm laser light was better suited for the reaction of silver nitrate as well as chromium(III) chloride in an acidic solution compared to the 532 nm light.

To investigate the dependences of the absorption spectrum and electronic structure properties on the ZnO nano-particle size, ZnO nanocrystals were synthesized by a sol-gel method. The absorption onset peak exhibits a systematic blue-shift with decreasing particle size due to the quantum confinement effect, as well as, with decreasing $Zn^{2+}$ concentration. The increase of particle size is mainly controlled by coarsening and aggregation step during the nucleation and growth of ZnO nano-particles. The onset absorption spectrum of ZnO colloids changes from 310 to 355 nm as $Zn^{2+}$ concentration increases from 0.01 to 0.1 mole. The average particle size as a function of aging- time can be determined from the absorption spectra. The freshly prepared nanocrystal size was about 2.8nm.

Precise micropatterning of polypropylene film, which is highly transparent in the wavelength range over 250 nm has been demonstrated by 355 nm nano/picosecond laser and 785 nm femtosecond laser. Increments of both the pulse energy and the shot number of pulses lead to cooccurrence of photochemical and thermal effects, demonstrated by the spatial expansion of rim on the surface of PP. The shapes of the laser-ablated polypropylene films were imaged by optical microscope and measured by a 3D optical measurement system. And, the ablation depth and width of polypropylene film ablated by femtosecond laser at various pulse energy and pulse number were characterized. Our results demonstrate that a femtosecond pulsed laser is an efficient tool for fabricating micropatterns of polypropylene films, where the micropatterns are specifically tailored in size, location and number easily controlled by laser processing conditions.

Organic light entitling diode panel was fabricated using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method Nd-YAG laser with Q-Switched and 355 nm pulse was used for the PLD. While TPD(N,N'-Di-[naphthaleny]-N, N'-diphenyl-benzidine) was used as a HTL(Hole transport layer), $Alq_3$(8-Hydroxyquinoline, Aluminum Salt) was used as EML/ETL(Emitting Layer/Electron Transport Layer) Organic pellet was fabricated and employed for the PLD method. The absorbances of the organic films were investigated and the measured absorbance values of TPD and $Alq_3$ films was 362 nm and 399 nm, respectively. The turn-on voltage of the OLED panel was 7.5 V and its luminance was $90\;cd/m^2$

Recent advances in NLO Borate Crystals for UV Generation are reviewed with the particular emphasis on the technique to improve the life time of UV optics. The laser-damage resistance of CLBO and fused silica surfaces was successfully improved after removing polishing compound by ion beam etching. The polishing compound embedded in the CLBO and fused silica surfaces were to a depth of less than 100nm. We were able to remove polishing compound without degrading the surface condition when the applied ion beam voltage was less than 200 V. The laser-induced surface damage threshold of CLBO was improved up to 15J/$\textrm{cm}^2$(wavelength: 355 nm, pulse width: 0.85 ns)as compared with that of the as-polished surface (11 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$). The laser-induced surface damage of fused silica also increased from 7.5J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ to 15J/$\textrm{cm}^2$. For the irradiation of a 266 nm high-intensity and high-repetition laser light, the surface lifetime of CLBO and fused silica could be more doubled compared with that of the as-polished surface.

온도를 달리하여 수열합성 시킨 두 ZnO nanostructure 의 자외선 검출 소자에 대해 표면 결함과 기판과의 계면 결함의 상대적인 영향을 분석했다. 실험은 laser 가 인가된 상태에서 bias voltage sweep rate을 조절하여, 그에 따른 전류-전압 곡선을 통해 이루어졌다. 수열 성장이 적게 된 ZnO nanostructure의 경우 405, 355 nm laser 인가시, bias voltage sweep rate 을 느리게 할 수록, 전류-전압 기울기가 낮아졌으며, 대조적으로 성장이 크게 된 시료의 경우 기울기가 높아졌다. 이에 대한 이유는 계면과 표면 결함 영향의 차이로 발생됨이 고려됐다. 이와 같이 laser 가 인가된 상태에서 bias voltage sweep rate 에 따른 전류-전압 곡선 분석 실험은 M-S-M (Metal-Semiconductor-Metal) 구조를 갖는 수열 성장된 ZnO 의 표면 및 계면 결함을 관찰하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다.

한국 남부지방의 매화노루발(Chimaphila japonica Miq.)의 유전적 다양성 및 집단구조를 조사하기 위해 전기영동을 실시하였다. 집단내 다형현상을 나타내는 대립유전자는 48.7%였다. 종 및 집단 수준에서 유전적 다양도는 각각 0.278, 0.222로 나타났고, 집단간 분화 정도는 비교적 낮았다( $G_{ST}$ =0.079). 조사한 일곱 집단내 자가 수분계수는 0.355였다. $G_{ST}$ 로부터 간접적으로 구한 세대당 집단간 이동개체수는 약간 높게 나타나므로 한반도 남부 지방의 집단간 유전자 이동이 보편적으로 이루어 지고 있음을 시사한다 (Nm=2.61). 고정지수 분석에 의하면 이형접합자의 부족이 여러 집단 및 대립유전자좌위에서 나타났다. 이 종에서 유전적 다양도가 고양된 주된 이유는 광범위한 분포, 다년생, 영양번식, 곤충에 의한 타가수분, 그리고 바람에 의한 화분분산이 빈번하게 이루어진 것으로 사료된다.

Biological corrosion, a crucial aspect of metal degradation, has received limited attention despite its significance. It involves the deterioration of metals due to corrosion processes influenced by living organisms, including bacteria. Soil represents a substantial threat to pipeline corrosion as it contains chemical and microbial factors that cause severe damage to water, oil, and gas transmission projects. To combat fouling and corrosion, corrosion inhibitors are commonly used; however, their production often involves expensive and hazardous chemicals. Consequently, researchers are exploring natural and eco-friendly alternatives, specifically nano-sized products, as potent corrosion inhibitors. This study aims to environmentally synthesize silver nanoparticles using an extract from Lagoecia cuminoides L and evaluate their effectiveness in preventing biological corrosion of buried pipes in soil. The optimal experimental conditions were determined as follows: a volume of 4 ml for the extract, a volume of 4 ml for silver nitrate (AgNO3), pH 9, a duration of 60 minutes, and a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. Analysis using transmission electron microscopy confirmed the formation of nanoparticles with an average size of approximately 28 nm, while X-ray diffraction patterns exhibited suitable peak intensities. By employing the Scherer equation, the average particle size was estimated to be around 30 nm. Furthermore, antibacterial studies revealed the potent antibacterial activity of the synthesized silver nanoparticles against both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. This property effectively mitigates the biological corrosion caused by bacteria in steel pipes buried in soil.
