In 2020 and 2021, we surveyed diseases of three-leaf ladybell (Adenophora triphylla) plants grown in fields at two locations in Korea. During the disease surveys, severe leaf rot symptoms were observed on the young plants in Hongseong, and stem rot symptoms on the adult plants in Cheolwon. The incidence of leaf rot was 5-60%, and that of stem rot 1-10%. We obtained 6 fungal isolates each from the leaf rot lesions and the stem rot lesions. All the isolates were morphologically identified as Rhizoctonia solani. Anastomosis test and investigation of cultural features of the fungal isolates revealed that the isolates from the leaf rot lesions corresponded to R. solani AG-1(IB), and those from the stem rot lesions to R. solani AG-2-2(IIIB). Two isolates each of R. solani AG-1(IB) and AG-2-2(IIIB) were used for DNA sequence analysis and pathogenicity test to three-leaf ladybell plants through artificial inoculation. The anastomosis groups and cultural types of the R. solani isolates were confirmed by the sequence analysis. The pathogenicity tests revealed that the isolates of R. solani AG-1(IB) caused only leaf rot symptoms on the inoculated plants, and those of R. solani AG-2-2(IIIB) leaf rot and stem rot symptoms. The induced symptoms were similar to those observed in the fields investigated. Leaf and stem rot of three-leaf ladybell caused by the two anastomosis groups and cultural types of R. solani is first reported in this study.

본 논문에서는 유기 기판 위에 $100{\mu}m$ 피치를 갖는 플립칩 구조인 Cu(60 um)/SnAg(20 um) 더블 범프 플립칩 어셈블리를 구현하여 이의 리플로우, 고온 유지 신뢰성, 열주기 신뢰성, Electromigration 신뢰성을 평가하였다. 먼저, 리플로우의 경우 횟수와 온도에 상관없이 범프 접속 저항의 변화는 거의 나타나지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 125도 고온 유지 시험에서는 2000시간까지 접속 저항 변화가 관찰되지 않았던 반면, 150도에서는 Kirkendall void의 형성으로 인한 접속 저항의 증가가 관찰되었다 또한 Electromigration 시험에서는 600시간까지 불량이 발생하지 않았는데 이는 Al금속 배선에서 유발되는 높은 전류 밀도가 Cu 칼럼의 높은 두께로 인해 솔더 영역에서는 낮아지기 때문으로 해석되었다. 열주기 시험의 경우, 400 cycle 이후부터 접속 저항의 증가가 발견되었으며, 이는 열주기 시험 동안 실리콘 칩과 Cu 칼럼 사이에 작용하는 압축 변형에 의해 그 사이에 있는 Al 및 Ti 층이 바깥쪽으로 밀려나감으로 인해 발생하는 것으로 확인되었다.

Since the general solar cells accept sun light at the front side, excluding the electrode area, electrons move from the emitter to the front electrode and start to collect at the grid edge. Thus the edge of gridline can be important for electrical properties of screen-printed silicon solar cells. In this study, the improvement of electrical properties in screen-printed crystalline silicon solar cells by contact treatment of grid edge was investigated. The samples with $60{\Omega}/{\square}$ and $70{\Omega}/{\square}$ emitter were prepared. After front side of samples was deposited by SiNx commercial Ag paste and Al paste were printed at front side and rear side respectively. Each sample was co-fired between $670^{\circ}C$ and $780^{\circ}C$ in the rapid thermal processing (RTP). After the firing process, the cells were dipped in 2.5% hydrofluoric acid (HF) at room temperature for various times under 60 seconds and then rinsed in deionized water. (This is called "contact treatment") After dipping in HF for a certain period, the samples from each firing condition were compared by measurement. Cell performances were measured by Suns-Voc, solar simulator, the transfer length method and a field emission scanning electron microscope. According to HF treatment, once the thin glass layer at the grid edge was etched, the current transport was changed from tunneling via Ag colloids in the glass layer to direct transport via Ag colloids between the Ag bulk and the emitter. Thus, the transfer length as well as the specific contact resistance decreased. For more details a model of the current path was proposed to explain the effect of HF treatment at the edge of the Ag grid. It is expected that HF treatment may help to improve the contact of high sheet-resistance emitter as well as the contact of a high specific contact resistance.

We have developed new type of superconducting-superionic conducting nanohybrids, $Ag_xI_wBi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$ (n=1 and 2) by applying the chimie douce reaction to the superconducting Bi-based cuprates. These nanohybrids can be achieved by the stepwise intercalation whereby the $Ag^+$ ion is thermally diffused into the pre-intercalated iodine sublattice of $IBi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$. According to the X-ray diffraction analysis, the Ag-I intercalates are found to have an unique heterostructure in which the superionic conducting Ag-I layer and the superconducting $IBi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$ layer are regularly interstratified with a remarkable basal increment of ~7.3$\AA$. The systematic XAS studies demonstrate that the intercalation of Ag-I accompanies the charge transfer between host and guest, giving rise to a change in hole concentration of $CuO_2$ layer and to a slight $T_c$ change. The Ag K-edge EXAFS result reveals that the intercalated Ag-I has a $\beta$-AgI-like local structure with distorted tetrahedral symmetry, suggesting a mobile environment for the intercalated $Ag^+$ ion. In fact, from ac impedance analyses, we have found that the Ag-I intercalates possess a fast ionic conductivity ($\sigma_i=10^{-1.4}\sim 10^{-2.6}\Omega^{-1}\textrm{cm}^{-1}\;at\;270^{\circ}C$ with an uniform activation energy ($\DeltaE_a=0.22\pm 0.02$ eV). More interesting finding is that these intercalates exhibit high electronic conducting as well as ionic ones ($t_i$=0.02~0.60) due to their interstratified structure consisting of superionic conducting and superconducting layers. In this respect, these new intercalates are expected to be useful as an electrode material in various electrochemical devices.

유연금속기판위에 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링을 이용하여 Ag/ZnO 이중구조의 후면반사막을 증착하고 Ag 표면조도 변화에 따른 후면반사막의 반사특성 변화와 플렉서블 비정질 실리콘 박막 태양전지의 셀 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Substrate구조를 갖는 플렉서블 실리콘 박막 태양전지에서는 실리콘 박막 광흡수층의 상대적으로 낮은 광 흡수율로 인하여 입사광에 대한 태양전지 내에서의 광 산란 및 포획이 태양전지 효율을 증대시키는데 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 플렉서블 실리콘 박막 태양전지에서의 후면반사막은 광 흡수층에서 흡수되지 않는 입사광을 다시 반사시켜 광 흡수를 증대시키며 이때 후면반사막 표면에서 반사 빛을 효율적으로 산란시켜 이동경로를 증대시킴으로써 광 흡수율을 더욱 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 유연금속 기판위에 Ag와 ZnO:Al($Al_2O_3$ 2.5wt%) 타겟을 사용한 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 Ag/AZO 이중구조의 후면반사막을 제조하고, Ag 박막의 표면형상 변화와 이에 따른 후면반사막의 반사도 변화를 비교, 분석하였다. 증착 조건 변화에 따른 표면 형상 및 반사 특성은 Atomic Force Mircroscope(AFM), Scanning electron miroscopy(SEM), UV-visible-nIR spectrometry를 통하여 분석하였다. 서로 다른 표면 거칠기를 갖는 후면반사막 위에 n-i-p구조의 a-Si:H 실리콘 박막 태양전지를 제조한 후 태양전지 동작 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. n,p층은 13.56MHz PECVD, i층은 60MHz VHF CVD를 사용하여 각각 제조 하였으며, Photo I-V, External Quantum Efficiency(EQE) 분석을 통하여 태양전지 특성을 조사 하였다. SEM 분석결과 공정 온도가 증가 할수록 Ag 박막의 표면 결정립 크기도 증가하였으며, AFM분석을 통한 Root-mean-square(Rms)값은 상온에서 $500^{\circ}C$로 증착온도가 증가함에 따라 6.62nm에서 46.64nm까지 증가하였다. Ag 박막의 표면 거칠기 증가에 따라 후면반 사막의 확산 반사도도 함께 증가하였다. 공정온도 $500^{\circ}C$에서 증착된 후면반사막을 사용하여 a-Si:H 태양전지를 제조하였을 때 상온에서 제조한 후면반사막에 비하여 단락전류밀도 (Jsc)값은 9.94mA/$cm^2$에서 13.36mA/$cm^2$로 증가하였으며, 7.6%의 가장 높은 태양전지 효율을 나타내었다.

A nanogap formed by a metal nanoparticle and a flat metal substrate is one kind of "hot site" for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The characteristics of a typical nanogap formed by a planar Au and either an Au and Ag nanoparticle have been well studied using 4-aminobenzenethiol (4-ABT) as a probe. 4-ABT is, however, an unusual molecule in the sense that its SERS spectral feature is dependent not only on the kinds of SERS substrates but also on the measurement conditions; thus further characterization is required using other adsorbate molecules such as 1,4-phenylenediisocyanide (1,4-PDI). In fact, no Raman signal was observable when 1,4-PDI was selfassembled on a flat Au substrate, but a distinct spectrum was obtained when 60 nm-sized Au or Ag nanoparticles were adsorbed on the pendent -NC groups of 1,4-PDI. This is definitely due to the electromagnetic coupling between the localized surface plasmon of Au or Ag nanoparticle with the surface plasmon polariton of the planar Au substrate, allowing an intense electric field to be induced in the gap between them. A higher Raman signal was observed when Ag nanoparticles were attached to 1,4-PDI, irrespective of the excitation wavelength, and especially the highest Raman signal was measured at the 632.8 nm excitation (with the enhancement factor on the order of ${\sim}10^3$), followed by the excitation at 568 and 514.5 nm, in agreement with the finite-difference timedomain calculation. From a separate potential-dependent SERS study, the voltage applied to the planar Au appeared to be transmitted without loss to the Au or Ag nanoparticles, and from the study of the effect of volatile organics, the voltage transmission from Au or Ag nanoparticles to the planar Au also appeared as equally probable to that from the planar Au to the Au or Ag nanoparticles in a nanogap electrode. The response of the Au-Ag nanogap to the external stimuli was, however, not the same as that of the Au-Au nanogap.

Background: A missense mutation in exon 7 (R249S) of the p53 tumor suppressor gene is characteristic of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) exposure. AFB1 is believed to have a synergistic effect on hepatitis virus B (HBV) carcinogenesis. However, results of studies comparing R249S prevalence among patients are conflicting. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of the R249S mutation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with or without positive HBsAg. Materials and Methods: Paraffin embedded liver tissues were obtained from 124 HCC patients who underwent liver resection and liver biopsy in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was utilized to detect the R249S mutation. Positive results were confirmed by direct sequencing. Results: Sixty four (52%) patients were positive for HBsAg and 18 (15%) were anti-HCV positive. 12 specimens tested positive by RFLP. Ten HCC patients (8.1%) were confirmed to be R249S positive by Sanger sequencing (AGG to AGT). Out of these 10, six were HBsAg positive, and out of the remaining 4, two were anti-HCV positive. The R249S prevalence among HCC patients with positive HBsAg was 9.4% compared to 6.7% for HBsAg negative samples. Patients with the R249S mutation were younger ($55{\pm}10$ vs $60{\pm}13$ year-old) and tended to have a more advanced Edmonson-Steiner grade of HCC, although differences did not reach statistical significance. Conclusions: Our study shows moderate prevalence of aflatoxin B1-related p53 mutation (R249S) in HCC with or without HBsAg. HBsAg positive status was not associated with R249S prevalence.
