  • Atomic force microscopy (AFM) [1] can now not only image individual atoms but also construct atom letters using atom manipulation method [2]. Therefore, the AFM is the second generation atomic tool following the well-known scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The AFM, however, has the advantages that it can image even insulating surfaces with atomic resolution and also measure the atomic force itself between the tip-apex outermost atom and the sample surface atom. Noting these advantages, we have been developing a novel bottom-up nanostructuring system, as shown in Fig. 1, based on the AFM. It can identify chemical species of individual atoms [3] and then manipulate selected atom species to the designed site one-by-one [2] to assemble complex nanostructures consisted of many atom species at room temperature (RT). In this invited talk, we will introduce our results toward atom-by-atom assembly of composite nanomaterials based on the AFM at RT. To identify chemical species, we developed the site-specific force spectroscopy at RT by compensating the thermal drift using the atom tracking. By converting the precise site-specific frequency shift curves, we obtained short-range force curves of selected Sn and Si atoms as shown in Fig. 2(a) and 2(b) [4]. Then using the atom-by-atom force spectroscopy at RT, we succeeded in chemical identification of intermixed three atom species in Pb/Sn/Si(111)-(${\surd}3$'${\surd}3$) surface as shown in Fig. 2(c) [3]. To create composite nanostructures, we found the lateral atom interchange phenomenon at RT, which enables us to exchange embedded heterogeneous atoms [2]. By combining this phenomenon with the modified vector scan, we constructed the atom letters "Sn" consisted of substitutional Sn adatoms embedded in Ge adatoms at RT as shown in Fig. 3(a)~(f) [2]. Besides, we found another kind of atom interchange phenomenon at RT that is the vertical atom interchange phenomenon, which directly interchanges the surface selected Sn atoms with the tip apex Si atoms [5]. This method is an advanced interchangeable single atom pen at RT. Then using this method, we created the atom letters "Si" consisted of substituted Si adatoms embedded in Sn adatoms at RT as shown in Fig. 4(a)~(f) [5]. In addition to the above results, we will introduce the simultaneous evaluation of the force and current at the atomic scale using the combined AFM/STM at RT.

  • 냉간 압축가공한 순수 지르코늄의 회복현상을 X-ray line broadening과 미소경도 (microhardness)를 측정하여 연구하였다. Isochronal 소둔한 결과에서 경도나 X-ray line breadth가 30$0^{\circ}C$이하에서는 감소하지 않는다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 같은 크기의 냉간가공도에서 X-ray line breadth의 회복속도는 경도의 회복속도와 다르게 나타났으며 가공도에 상관없이 X-ray line breadth의 회복에 필요한 활성화 에너지는 경도의 회복에 필요한 활성화 에너지보다 작은 것을 알 수 있었다. 8%, 19%, 28% 냉간가공한 지르코늄에서의 X-ray line breadth의 회복에 필요한 활성화 에너지는 각각 64,800cal/gram atom, 56,400 cal/gram atom, 48,500 cal/gram atom이였으며 경도의 회복에 필요한 활성화 에너지는 72,800 cal/gram atom, 64,300 cal/gram atom, 58,600 cal/gram atom인 것으로 나타났다.

  • We introduce a scheme with a maximized efficiency of detecting atoms passing through an optical standing-wave mode cavity. Consider a standing-wave optical cavity illuminated by a weak probe beam through one of its mirrors where the transmission through the other mirror is monitored by a photodetector. If an atom is put in the cavity, the atom-cavity coupling shifts the resonance frequency of the system via the so-called normal mode splitting, and thereby the transmission power will drop. In fact, this type of atom detection scheme has been used in recent single atom trap experiments In practice, however, the field in a standing-wave mode will have a geometrical structure having nodes and antinodes that when the atom traverses the cavity through one of the nodes, there will be no such effect of atom-field interaction.

  • One of the more promising proposals for guiding and focusing neutral atoms involves dark hollow laser beams. When the frequency of the laser is detuned to the blue of resonance, the dipole force the atoms feel in the light confines them to the dark core where the atoms can be transported with minimal interaction with the light. The ability of the all-light atom guides to transport large number of ultracold atoms for long distances without physical walls leads to the possibility of a versatile tool for atom lithography, atom interferometry, atomic spectroscopy as well as for transporting and manipulating Bose-Einstein condensates. Furthermore since the atoms transported in all-light atom guides do not come into contact with matter, they can in principle be used to transport antimatter as well. The ability to vary the core size of the hollow beam makes the all-light atom guide potentially useful for focusing neutral atoms. The atoms could be focused as tight as the core size of the hollow beam at its waist. This new focusing scheme, called the atom funnel, would not show spherical and chromatic aberrations that conventional harmonic focusing suffers from. (omitted)

  • The electrochemical impulse oscillations of the cathodic currents at the platinum group (Pt, Pd) electrode/(0.05M KHC$_{8}H_{4}O_{4}$) buffer solution interfaces have been studied using voltammetric, chronoamperometric, and electrochemical impedance methods. The periodic impulses of the cathodic currents are the activation controlled currents due to the hydrogen evolution reaction, and depend on the fractional surface coverage of the adsorbed hydrogen intermediate and potential. The oscillatory mechanism of the cathodic current impulses is connected with the unstable steady state of negative differential resistance. The widths and periods of the cathodic current impulses are 4ms or 5ms and 152.5ms or 305ms, respectively. The H$^{+}$ discharge reaction step is 38 or 61 times faster thatn the recombination reaction steps and the H$^{+}$ mass transport processes. The atom-atom recombination reaction step is twice faster thatn the atom-ion recombination reaction step. The two kinds of active sites corresponding to the atom-atom and atom-ion recombination reaction steps exist on the platinum group electrode surfaces.

  • 둔전-백전지역의 금-은, 안티모니 광상에서 산출되는 에렉트럼의 전체 조성범위는 22.6~69.5 atom% Ag로서 각 광상마다 조성의 차이가 있을 뿐 아니라 동일광상에서도 광화시기 및 에렉트럼을 수반하는 광물군에 따라 Ag의 함량이 서로 다르다. 둔전 북광상에서 산출되는 에렉트럼의 조성은 22.6~29.5 atom% Ag의 좁은 범위를 보이며 I기의 것이 II의 것에 비하여 Au의 함량이 높다. 둔전 남광상에서 산출되는 에렉트럼의 조성범위는 33.6~69.5 atom% Ag이고, 백전광상의 것은 35.6~63.5 atom% Ag로서 에렉트럼의 수반광물에 따라 Ag/Au 비가 달라진다. 전반적으로 에렉트럼의 한 입자에서도 Au와 Ag는 조성비를 달리하며 입자의 중앙부에서 외각부로 갈수록 Ag의 함량이 증가하는 경향이 있다. 또한 에렉트럼 정출 당시의 생성온도, 염농도, $fs_2$가 높을수록 에렉트럼의 Ag/Au 비가 낮고 base metal 유화광물과 공존하는 에렉트럼이 Ag 광물과 공존하는 것보다 Ag/Au 비가 낮다. 둔전광산 남, 북광상의 에렉트럼에는 Cu; 0.20~1.92, Bi; 0.35~0367, As; 0.70~1.19 atom%가 포함되어 있으며 Cu는 Ag의 함량이 증가할수록 감소하며 Bi와 As는 Ag가 증가함에 따라 높아진다.

  • The embedded atom method based on the density functional theory is used for calculating ground state properties of realistic metal systems. In this paper, we had corrected constitutive formulae and parameters on the palladium for the purpose of doing Embedded Atom Method analysis. And then we have computed the properties of the palladium on the fundamental scale of the atomic structure. In result, simulated ground state properties, such as the lattice constant, elastics constants and the sublimation energy, show good agreement with Daw's simulation data and with experimental data.
