Si (111) 기판 위에 polystyrene (PS) bead를 사용하여 만들어진 약 100 nm 나노 구멍에 GaN나노선을 molecular beam epitaxy 법으로 성장하였다. 성장 온도와 III/V 비율 변화에 대하여 성장된 GaN 나노선의 모양과 광학적 특성은 scanning electron microscopy (SEM)와 photoluminescence (PL) 등으로 조사하였으며, InN/GaN 이종접합 및 InGaN p-n 다이오드구조를 성장하여 atomic force microscopy의 tip 접촉방법으로 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. PL 측정 결과 성장온도가 높아지면 Ga 빈자리와 관계된 3.28 eV의 donor acceptor pair (DAP) 신호와 3.42 eV의 stacking faults (SF) 결함에 기인된 발광 신호세기가 감소하는 결과를 SEM으로부터 나노선 폭 및 길이는 좁아지면서 짧아지는 것을 관측하였다. 또한 nitrogen 원자양이 증가하면서 Ga 빈자리와 관련된 3.28 eV DAP 신호가 증가하는 것을 관측하였다. 이들 결과로부터 GaN 나노선의 SF 발광 신호관련 원인에 대하여 논의 하였다. AFM을 이용한 I-V 측정으로부터 성장조건 변화에 따른 GaN 나노선 및 p-n 접합 나노선의 전도 특성을 조사하여 나노선의 소자 응용에 대한 기본적인 물리특성을 규명하였다.

Exosomes, known as nanoscale extracellular vesicles in the range of 30-150 nm, are known to contain clinically significant information. However, there is still insufficient information on exosomal membrane proteins for cancer diagnosis. In this work, we investigated the characteristics of the membrane proteins of exosomes shed by cultured breast cancer cell lines using a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy and pre-activated alkanethiols modified sensor chips. The antibodies of breast cancer biomarkers such as MCU-16, EpCAM, CD24, ErbB2, and CA19-9 were immobilized on the pre-activated alkanethiols surfaces without any activation steps. The purified exosomes were loaded onto each antibody surface. The affinity rank of the antibody surfaces was decided by the relative capture efficiency factors for the exosomes. In addition, an antibody with a relative capture efficiency close to 100% was tested with exosome concentration levels of 10⁴/µl, 10⁵/µl, and 10⁶/µl for quantitative analysis.

The influence of extraction temperature, powder concentration, and extraction time on the antioxidant properties of aqueous ginger extract was investigated. The possibility of estimating the antioxidant properties of the extract from its absorbance and colour properties was also investigated. Results indicated that powder concentration was the most significant factor to consider in optimizing antioxidant extraction. However, temperature and time still influenced the 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity while extraction temperature influenced the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of the extract. Using the total phenol content, total flavonoid content, ABTS radical scavenging activity, and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the extract, the multiresponse optimization condition for extraction of antioxidant based on the experimental range studied is $96^{\circ}C$, 2.10 g/100 mL, and 90 min. The absorbance of the ginger extract at 610 nm could be exploited for rapid estimation of its total flavonoid and polyphenol with a $R^2$ of 0.713 and 0.753, respectively.

이론적으로 단일벽 탄소나노튜브(SWNT)는 무산란 전도가 가능하여 실리콘을 대체할 차세대 나노소자의 기본소재로서 많은 각광을 받아왔다. 이러한 SWNT의 전기전자적 특성을 좌우하는 주요인자로는 직경과 비틀림도(chirality)가 있으며, 이를 제어하기 위한 많은 방법들이 제시되어왔다. 특히, SWNT 합성 시 필요한 촉매 나노입자의 크기와 튜브직경과의 연관성이 제기된 후부터, 합성단계에서 촉매 나노입자의 형태(또는 크기)를 제어함으로써 SWNT의 직경을 제어하고자 하는 직접적인 방법들도 주요방법의 한 축으로 이어지고 있다. 한편, SWNT의 합성촉매로는 철, 코발트, 니켈 등의 전이금속이 주로 사용되어 왔으나, 최근에는 금, 은, 루테늄, 팔라듐, 백금 등의 귀금속에서부터 다양한 금속산화물 나노입자에 이르기까지 그 범위가 확장되었다. 본 연구에서는, 촉매 나노입자의 크기제어를 통하여 SWNT의 직경을 제어할 목적으로, 전이금속에 비해 상대적으로 융점이 낮아 비교적 낮은 온도의 열처리를 통해서도 입자의 크기를 제어할 수 있는 금 나노입자를 선정하여 SWNT의 합성거동을 살펴보았다. 합성은 메탄을 원료가스로 하는 CVD방법을 이용하였고, 합성되는 SWNT의 다발화(bundling) 등을 방지하기 위하여 수평배향 성장을 도모하였으며, 이를 위하여 퀄츠 웨이퍼를 사용하였다. 우선, 콜로이드상인 금 나노입자의 스핀코팅 조건을 최적화하여 퀄츠 위에 단분산(monodispersion) 된 금 나노입자를 얻었으며, 열처리 온도 및 시간의 제어를 통하여, 1~5 nm 범위 내에서 특정 직경을 갖는 금 나노입자를 얻는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 합성 후 금 나노입자의 크기와 합성된 SWNT 직경과의 관계를 면밀히 조사한 결과, 튜브보다 나노입자의 크기가 약간 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 금 나노입자의 크기에 따라 SWNT의 합성효율이 크게 좌우되는 것을 확인하였다.

This study investigated the fate of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in a water reclamation facility (WRF) in Korea. The WRF consists of coagulation, sedimentation, microfiltration, and reverse osmosis (RO) components. The production capacity of WRF is 90,000 m³/day. The reclaimed water is reused as industrial water. We also characterized DOM in raw, processed, and finished waters based on analysis of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm (UVA₂₅₄), fluorescence excitation emission matrix (FEEM), and DOC fractions via liquid chromatography-organic carbon detection (LC-OCD). Based on the results of DOC, UVA₂₅₄, and FEEM analyses, neither the coagulation/sedimentation nor the microfiltration at the WRF effectively removed DOM. The RO process removed more than 94% of DOM. The raw water (i.e., secondary treated effluent obtained from a wastewater treatment plant) exhibited tryptophan-like peaks, which are a promising marker of wastewater, in the FEEM analysis. Coagulation and microfiltration failed to eliminate the wastewater marker, whereas RO completely removed it. The raw water also carried high levels (89.4%) of hydrophilic and low-molecular weight substances, which are difficult to remove via coagulation-sedimentation or microfiltration. Humic substance was a major component of the hydrophilic fractions. Based on the LC-OCD analysis, RO effectively removed the humic and polymeric materials from DOM.

The main purpose of this study is to characterize the size-dependent strain rate sensitivity in structural steel using the continue stiffness measurement (CSM) indentation. A series of experiments, such as CSM indentation and optical microscope examination, has been performed at the room temperature at different rate conditions. The results indicated that indentation hardness, strain rate, and flow stress showed size-dependent behavior. The dependency of indentation hardness, strain rate, and flow stress on the indentation size was attributed to the transition of the dislocation nucleation rate and the dislocation behaviors during the indentation process. Since both hardness and strain rate showed the size-dependent behavior, SRS tended to depend on the indentation depth. The results indicated that the SRS was quite high over 2.0 at the indentation depth of 240 nm and quickly dropping to 0.08, finally around 0.046 at large indents. The SRS values at large indentations strongly agree with the general range reported for several types of low-carbon steel in the literature (Chatfield and Rote 1974, Nguyen et al. 2018b, Luecke et al. 2005). The results from the present study can be used in both static and dynamic analyses of structures as well as to assess and understand the deformation mechanism and the stress-state of material underneath the indenter tip during the process of the indentation testing.

We have investigated that the effect of post annealing on the structural and electrical properties of $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$ thin films. The BST thin films were deposited on n-type 4H-silicon carbide(SiC) using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The deposition was carried out in oxygen ambient 100mTorr for 5 minutes, which results in about 300nm-thick BST films. For the BST/4H-SiC, 200nm thick silver was deposited on the BST films bye-beam evaporation. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the BST films revealed that the crystalline structure of BST thin films has been improved after post-annealing at $850^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The root mean square (RMS) surface roughness of the BST film measured by using a AFM was increased after post-annealing from 5.69nm to 11.49nm. The electrical properties of BST thin film were investigated by measuring the capacitance-voltage characteristics of a silver/BST/4H-SiC structure. After the post-annealing, dielectric constant of the film was increased from 159.67 to 355.33, which can be ascribed to the enhancement of the crystallinity of BST thin films.

Dy³⁺- and Eu³⁺-codoped BaWO₄ phosphors for white light-emitting diode were synthesized with different activator ions via a solid-state reaction process. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of the BaWO₄:Dy³⁺,Eu³⁺ phosphors were investigated as a function of Eu³⁺ concentration at a fixed concentration of Dy³⁺ ions. XRD patterns exhibited that all the synthesized phosphors had a tetragonal system, irrespective of the concentrations of Dy³⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions. The excitation spectra of the synthesized phosphors were composed of three intense bands centered at 251, 355, and 393 nm and several weak peaks. For the BaWO₄:Dy³⁺,Eu³⁺ phosphors synthesized with 1 mol% of Eu³⁺, the emission spectra under ultraviolet excitation at 393 nm showed two strong blue and yellow bands at 485 and 577 nm corresponding to the ⁴F_9/2⁶H_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2⁶H_13/2 transitions of Dy³⁺ ions, respectively and several weak bands in the range of 600-700 nm resulting from the 4f transitions of Eu³⁺ ions. As the concentration of Eu³⁺ ions increased, intensities of the blue and yellow emission bands gradually decreased while those of the red emissions increased rapidly and the energy transfer efficiency from Dy³⁺ to Eu³⁺ ions was 95.3% at 20 mol% of Eu³⁺. The optimum white light emission with x=0.363, y=0.357 CIE 1931 chromaticity coordinates was obtained for the sample doped with 5 mol% Dy³⁺ and 1 mol% of Eu³⁺.

This experiment was conducted to know the appropriate methods for extraction and determination of rutin contained buckwheat plants. The efficient HPLC analytical condition of rutin contained buckwheat plants was developed. The gradient elution employed a $250mm\times4.6mm$ i.d. Tosoh ODS 120T column. The gradient system was used two mobile phases. A gradient elution was performed with mobile phase A, consisting of $2\%$ Acetic $acid-45\%$ Acetonitrile, and mobile phase B, comprising $2\%$ aqueous acetic acid, and delivered at a flow rate of 1mL/min as follows: 0-18 min, $50-100\%$ A; 18-20 min, $100-50\%$ A; 20-22 min, $50\%$ A. The UV detection wavelength was set at 355 nm. The limit of detection (LOD) for rutin standard compound was 20 ng/mL. And, the higher content of rutin in the extracts was obtained by $80^{\circ}C$ reflex extraction for 120 min. from plants of buckwheat using ethanol.

A novel UV sensor was manufactured and characterized using the evanescentfield coupling between fiber-planar waveguide (PWG) coupler and prism. A spiroxazine dye was chosen as planar waveguide because its photochromic isomerization induced by UV irradiation. A novel UV sensor was proposed to measure the variation of refractive index and absorption coefficient simultaneously. The wavelength responses of these sensors by UV exposure times were measured 0.48 nm/sec, 0.757 nm/sec, and ATR output power variations were measured $-0.424{\mu}W$/sec and $-0.62{\mu}W$/sec when UV exposure power were 3 mW and 5 mW, respectively.
