Theranostics, a composite word of therapy and diagnosis, is known as personalized medicine and the concept of diagnosis and treatment at the same time. In nuclear medicine, it means performing both therapeutic and diagnostic radioisotope therapy using the same target molecule. The increased production and utilization of ⁶⁴Cu opens a new era of theranostics. The studies introduced here have shown that ⁶⁴CuCl₂ and various compounds or biomolecules labeled with ⁶⁴Cu are unique radiopharmaceuticals with physiological properties suitable for use as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. So far, these two abilities have been described only for radioactive iodine. Although ⁶⁴Cu has complex chemical properties compared to other PET radioisotopes such as ⁶⁸Ga, it has an appropriate half-life and enables high-quality PET images similar to ¹⁸F, which is an advantage in terms of diagnosis. In addition, since it also has therapeutic properties through the release of β^- particles and Auger electrons by electron capture, radiopharmaceuticals using ⁶⁴Cu stand for innovative radiopharmaceuticals for theranostic purposes. Therefore, based on the initial results obtained using ⁶⁴Cu as a therapeutic agent, it is expected that additional research on the application of ⁶⁴Cu will lead to a new era in the theranostics field.

Details of carrier dynamics in self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) with a particular attention to nonradiative processes are not only interesting for fundamental physics, but it is also relevant to performance of optoelectronic devices and the exploitation of nanocrystals in practical applications. In general, the possible processes in such systems can be considered as radiative relaxation, carrier transfer between dots of different dimensions, Auger nonradiactive scattering, thermal escape from the dot, and trapping in surface and/or defects states. Authors of recent studies have proposed a mechanism for the carrier dynamics of time-resolved photoluminescence CdTe (a type II-VI QDs) systems. This mechanism involves the activation of phonons mediated by electron-phonon interactions. Confinement of both electrons and holes is strongly dependent on the thermal escape process, which can include multi-longitudinal optical phonon absorption resulting from carriers trapped in QD surface defects. Furthermore, the discrete quantized energies in the QD density of states (1S, 2S, 1P, etc.) arise mainly from ${\delta}$-functions in the QDs, which are related to different orbitals. Multiple discrete transitions between well separated energy states may play a critical role in carrier dynamics at low temperature when the thermal escape processes is not available. The decay time in QD structures slightly increases with temperature due to the redistribution of the QDs into discrete levels. Among II-VI QDs, wide-gap CdZnTe QD structures characterized by large excitonic binding energies are of great interest because of their potential use in optoelectronic devices that operate in the green spectral range. Furthermore, CdZnTe layers have emerged as excellent candidates for possible fabrication of ferroelectric non-volatile flash memory. In this study, we investigated the optical properties of CdZnTe/ZnTe QDs on Si substrate grown using molecular beam epitaxy. Time-resolved and temperature-dependent PL measurements were carried out in order to investigate the temperature-dependent carrier dynamics and the activation energy of CdZnTe/ZnTe QDs on Si substrate.

$Mg_2Ni_{1-x}{^{57}}Fe_x$(x=0.015, 0.03, 0.06, 0.12 and 0.24)합금을 제작하여 $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ 공명에 의한 연구를 하였다. x=0.015, 0.03 합금의 $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectrum은 2개의 doublet(doublet 1, 2)을, x=0.06 합금의 spectrum은 2개의 doublet(doublet 1, 2)과 1개의 six-line을, 그리고 x=0.12, 0.24 합금의 spectrum은 six-line만 보인다. x=0.015, 0,03, 0.06 합금의 doublet 1은, 초 상자성 거동을 보여주는 과잉으로 존재하는 일부의 철 때문에 생기는 것으로 판단된다. doublet 2는, $Mg_2Ni$ 상의 Ni에 치환된 철에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. doublet 2의 isomer shift 크기 (0,24 ~ 0.28 mm/s)로 보아 $Fe^{+3}$로 존재함을 추측할 수 있다. 또한 doublet 2의 quadrapole splitting이 영이 아님으로부터 Fe 주위의 전자 배열이 비대칭을 이루고 있음을 알 수 있고, 그 크기 (1.20 ~ 1.38 mm/s)는 산화수 +3의 quadrapole splitting 값에 아주 가까운 값이다. 자기적 초미세 상호 작용을 보여주는 six-line은 합금 속에 들어가지 않는 철 때문에 생긴다. 수소화물화 반웅시킨 x=0.015, 0.03 합금의 $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectrum이 six-line을 보였는데, 이로부터 수소화물화 반응으로 인하여 Fe이 편석되었음을 알 수 있다. 수소화물화 반응후 $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectrum, 자기장의 함수로서 자화의 변화 측정, Auger electron spectroscopy, electron diffraction pattern 분석 결과, Ni의 편석과 MgO의 형성을 보여주었는데, 이는 수소 속에 들어 있는 미량의 산소가 $Mg_2Ni$와 반응하여 야기된 현상으로 생각된다.
