In order to investigate the Na gettering, PSG/$SiO_2$/Al-1%Si multilevel thin films were fabricated. DC magnetron sputter techniques and APCVD (atmosphere pressure chemical vapor deposition) were utilized for the deposition of Al-1%Si thin films and PSG/$SiO_2$ passivations, respectively. Heat treatment was carried out at $300^{\circ}C$ for 5 h in air. SIMS (secondary ion mass spectrometry) depth profiling and XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) analysis were used to determine the distribution and binding energies of Na, Al, Si, O, P and other elements throughout the PSG/$SiO_2$/Al-1%Si multilevel thin films. Na peaks were mainly observed at the the PSG/$SiO_2$ interface and at the $SiO_2$/Al-1%Si interfaces. Na impurity gettering in PSG/$SiO_2$/Al-1%Si multilevel thin films is considered to be caused by a segregation type of gettering. The chemical state of Si and O elements in PSG passivation appears to be $SiO_2$.

동을 담지한 모더나이트를 이용하여 고정층 연속흐름 반응기에서 NO 분해와 CO에 의한 NO 환원을 실시하였다. NO 분해에서는 많은 동함량에서 $Cu^{\circ}/HM$이 CuO/HM보다 높은 분해 활성을 나타내었다. 이것은 $Cu^{\circ}/HM$과 CuO/HM에 존재하는 $Cu^{2+}$이온의 양과 CuO의 환원성 등의 차이에 관련된다고 보인다. NO 환원에서는 적은 동함량에서 Cuo/HM이 CuO/HM보다 높은 환원 활성을 나타내었다. 이것은 $Cu^{\circ}/HM$과 CuO/HM에 존재하는 CuO의 환원성과 입자 크기 등의 차이에 관련된다고 보인다.

In this present study, the luminescence characteristics and mechanism of energy $CaTiO_3$:Pr phosphor were studied using disk specimens sintered at various temperatures and envirenment. A single-phase $CaTiO_3$:Pr was synthesized by sintering above 140$0^{\circ}C$ and its crystal structure was found to be perovskite orthorhombic. A dominant peak around 360 nm and a broad peak around 395 nm were observed in the PLE(Photoluminescence Excitation) spectrum of $CaTiO_3$:Pr with fixed emission wavelength at 612 nm, the decay time of 360 nm excitation was found to be longer than that of 395 nm excitation. From this result, it is assumed that the free carrier excited to 360 nm is transferred to 395 nm energy level. Therefore, the decrease in 395 nm intensity observed in CaTiO$_3$:Pr specimens sintered in Ar gas environment induced shorter decay time and improved CL luminescence.

The enhancement of photoluminescence of Au-$TiO_2$ nanoparticles by surface plasmon resonance has been studied extensively by experiment in recent years. For the purpose of optimizing the photoluminescence property of Au-$TiO_2$ nanoparticles, the manufacturing parameters related to the Au nanoparticles and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles need to be considered. In this paper, Drude model and Maier's effective volume method are used to analyze the variation of the metal nanoparticle radius, separation between metal nanoparticle and dielectric molecule, and total absorption cross-section with original radiative efficiency on the photoluminescence property of Au-$TiO_2$ nanoparticles. The results show that to obtain the optimized enhancement factor for photoluminescence process, the size of Au nanoparticle is about 13 - 20 nm, the separation between Au nanoparticle and $TiO_2$ molecule is about 5 -15 nm, the total absorption cross-section of $TiO_2$ molecules is about $1-100nm^2$ and the original radiative efficiency of $TiO_2$ molecule is weak about 0.001- 0.1. With these fabrication parameters, the photoluminescence property of Au-$TiO_2$ nanoparticles can be enhanced several thousand times compared to traditional $TiO_2$ nanoparticles.

The influence of SiO$_2$on the microstructure and electrical properties of zinc oxide varistor was investigated. Zn$_2$SiO$_4$third phase in the sintered body was found at grain boundaries, multiple grain junctions, and occasionally within ZnO grains. This phase acted as a grain growth inhibitor, which retard the grain growth of the ZnO matrix by impeding migration on the grain boundaries. As SiO$_2$ addition increases, average grain size decreased from 40.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 26.9${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ due to the pinning effect by Zn$_2$SiO$_4$ and drag effect by Si segregation at grain boundaries, the breakdown voltage consequently increased. When SiO$_2$ addition is increased, interface state density decreased, however, the barrier height increased by decrease of donor concentration, as a result, the nonlinear exponent increased and leakage current decreased. While, as SiO$_2$ addition increase, it was found that the apparent dielectric loss factor shows a tendency of decrease. Wholly, electrical properties of zinc oxide varistor can be said to be improved by SiO$_2$addition.

$BaTiO_3$/epoxy composites can be applied as the dielectric materials for embedded capacitors. The effects of the degree of $BaTiO_3$ particle agglomeration on the dielectric properties of $BaTiO_3$/epoxy composites were investigated in the present study. The degree of particle agglomeration was controlled by the milling of the agglomerated particles. The size and content of the agglomerated $BaTiO_3$ particles decreased with an increase in the milling time. The dielectric constants and polarizations of $BaTiO_3$/epoxy composites abruptly decreased with the increase of the milling time. It was concluded that the dielectric constants and polarizations of $BaTiO_3$/epoxy composites decreased as the degree of particle agglomeration decreased. The degree of agglomeration of $BaTiO_3$ particles turned out to be a very influential factor on the dielectric properties of $BaTiO_3$/epoxy composites.

Layered nanocomposite, SiO2/TiO2 sol pillared clay, has been prepared by the ion exchange reaction of Na' ion in montmorillonite with positively charged mixed SiO2/TiO2 sol. The nanosized sol particles were synthesized by mixing SiO2 sol solution with TiO2 one, which is obtained by acidic hydrolysis of TEOS and TiCl4, respectively. From powder XRD, the basal spacing (d001) of the sample calcined at 400 ℃ was found to be ca. 60 Å, due to the multistacking of nanosized SiO2 and TiO2 sol particles, which was confirmed by the pore size analysis from 129Xe NMR and micropore analysis calculated from nitrogen adsorption. The BET specific surface area shows the value of 684 m2g-1 (Langmuir 1115 m2g-1), which is the highest among various pillared clays ever reported previously, and the total porosity is found to be 0.51 mlg-1, and the pores are mainly composed of micropore with a size of ca. 11.8 Å. This result agrees with the adsorption capacity obtained from water adsorption. According to diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, it is found that the TiO2 particles stabilized in the interlayer space of montmorillonite are quantum-sized of ca. 20 Å.

Because of its importance in tumor invasion and metastasis, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has become a research focus in the field of cancer. Recently, evidence has been presented that FoxO4 might be involved in EMT. Our study aimed to detect the expression of FoxO4, E-cadherin and vimentin in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). We also investigated clinical features and their correlations with the markers. In our study, FoxO4, E-cadherin and vimentin were assessed by immunohistochemistry in a tissue microarray (TMA) containing 150 cases of NSCLC. In addition, the expression level of FoxO4 protein was determined by Western blotting. The percentages of FoxO4, E-cadherin and vimentin positive expression in NSCLCs were 42.7%, 38.7% and 55.3%, respectively. Immunoreactivity of FoxO4 was low in NSCLC when compared with paired normal lung tissues. There were significant correlations between FoxO4 and TNM stage (P<0.001), histological differentiation (P=0.004) and lymph node metastasis (P<0.001), but no significant links with age (P=0.323), gender (P=0.410), tumor size (P=0.084), smoking status (P=0.721) and histological type (P=0.281). Our study showed that low expression of FoxO4 correlated with decreased expression of E-cadherin and elevated expression of vimentin. Cox regression analysis indicated FoxO4 to be an independent prognostic factor in NSCLC (P=0.046). These data suggested that FoxO4 might inhibit the process of EMT in NSCLC, and might therefore be a target for therapy.

We investigated the properties of inorganic diatomic films like silicon oxide ($SiO_2$) and zinc oxide (ZnO) and their composite films are packed as a passivation layer around Ca cells on glass substrates by using an electron-beam evaporation technique and rf-magnetron sputtering method. When these Ca cells are exposed to an ambient atmosphere, the water vapor penetrating through the passivation layers is adsorbed in the Ca cells, resulting in a gradual progress of transparency in the Ca cells, which can be represented by changes of the optical transmittance in the visible range. Compared with the saturation times for the Ca cells to become completely transparent in the atmosphere, the protection effects against permeation of water vapor are estimated for various passivation films. The thin composite films consist of$SiO_2$ and ZnO are found to show a superior protection effect from water vapor permeation compared with diatomic inorganic films like $SiO_2$ and ZnO. Also, this inorganic thin composite films are also found that their protection effect against permeation of water vapor can be significantly enhanced by choosing their suitable composition ratio and deposition method, in addition, the main factors affecting the permeation of water vapor through the oxide films are found to be the polarizability and the packing density.

${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$의 HCl 또는 $H_2SO_4$에 의한 용해반응에 있어서 금속염의 첨가효과를 분광광도법과 중량법으로 검토하였다. 환원성 금속염은 현저한 반응촉진 효과를 보이나 비환원성 금속염은 부의 효과를 나타내었다. $FeCl_2$와 같은 환원성 금속염을 첨가한 경우에 ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$의 용해속도가 크게 촉진되는 것은 $Fe^{3+}$ 와 $Fe^{2+}$ 사이에 chloro-brige가 형성되어 전하이동이 일어나면서 ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ 표면의 격자에너지를 감소시키기 때문인 것으로 추측된다. 이 전하이동으로 인한 ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ 표면의 격자 에너지 변화가 반응의 활성화에너지 변화와 대응된다고 보면 약 0.36e의 부분전하가 $Fe^{3+}$ 쪽으로 옮겨간 것으로 계산되었다.
