In this paper, effect of catalytic configuration on the sensing properties of $SnO_2$ nanoparticle gas sensitive thick film was investigated. Two types of catalytic configuration, mono and binary, were made on the $SnO_2$ nanoparticle. In case of mono catalytic system, $3 wt\%$ Pd or Pt catalyst was doped onto the $SnO_2$ nanoparticle, respectively. In case of binary catalytic system, Pd and Pt was doped simultaneously with concentration ratio of 1:2 to 2:1 onto the $SnO_2$ nanoparticle. After doping, gas sensitive thick film was printed on alumina substrate and heat-treated at 450 to $600^{\circ}C$. Gas sensing properties was evaluated using 500 to 10,000 ppm $CH_4$ gas. As a result, gas sensitive thick film with binary catalytic system showed unstable phenomena that the gas sensitivity was changed according to aging time. In contrary, the mono catalytic system showed relatively stable phenomena despite of aging time. Especially, gas sensitive thick film doped with $3 wt\%$ Pt catalyst and heat-treated at $500^{\circ}C$ showed good sensing properties such as 0.57 of $R_{3500}/R_{1000}$ and very small variation within $3.5\%$ after aging for 5 hours, and response time was very short less than 20 seconds.

Optimal atomic configurations in a nanoparticle were predicted by genetic algorithm. A truncated octahedron with a fixed composition of 1 : 1 was investigated as a model system. A Python code for genetic algorithm linked with a molecular dynamics method was developed. Various operators were implemented to accelerate the optimization of atomic configuration for a given composition and a given morphology of a nanoparticle. The combination of random mix as a crossover operator and total_inversion as a mutation operator showed the most stable structure within the shortest calculation time. Pt-Ag core-shell structure was predicted as the most stable structure for a nanoparticle of approximately 4 nm in diameter. The calculation results in this study led to successful prediction of the atomic configuration of nanoparticle, the size of which is comparable to that of practical nanoparticls for the application to the nanocatalyst.

We investigated the programmable memory characteristics of nanoparticle-based memory devices based on the elementary metal nanoparticles (Co and Au) and their binary mixture synthesized by a micellar route to ordered arrays of metal nanoparticles as charge trapping layers. According to the metal nanoparticle species quite different programming/erasing efficiencies were observed, resulting in the tunable memory characteristics at the same programming/erasing bias conditions. This finding will be a good implication for further device scaling and novel device applications since most processes are based on the conventional semiconductor processes.

Selenium (Se)-rich binary Cu-Se and In-Se nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by a modified heat-up method at low temperature ($110^{\circ}C$) using the gum exudates from a cherry blossom tree. Coating of CISe absorber layer was carried out using Se-rich binary Cu-Se and In-Se NPs ink without the use of any external binder. Our results indicated that the gum used in the synthesis played beneficial roles such as reducing and capping agent. In addition, the gum also served as a natural binder in the coating of CISe absorber layer. The CISe absorber layer was integrated into the solar cell, which showed a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 0.37%. The possible reasons for low PCE of the present solar cells and the steps needed for further improvement of PCE were discussed. Although the obtained PCE is low, the present strategy opens a new path for the fabrication of eco-friendly CISe NPs solar cell by a relatively chief non-vacuum method.

The objectives of this paper are to study the absorption characteristics of $NH_3$ bubbles in the binary nanofluids and to quantify the effects of surfactants and nano-particles on the bubble absorption performance. 2-Ethyl-1-Hexanol, n-Octanol, and 2-Octanol are used as the surfactants and nano-sized $Al_{2}O_3$ and Cu particles are added to make the binary nanofluids into $NH_3/H_{2}O$ solution. The concentration of $NH_3$ solution ($x_s$), the concentration of surfactants ($x_{SA}$), and the mass fraction of nano-particles ($w_{np}$) are considered as key parameters. The experimented ranges of $x_s,\;x_{SA},\;and\;w_{np}$ are $0{\sim}17.92\%,\;0{\sim}1,500\;ppm\;and\;0{\sim}0.2\%$, respectively. The absorption rates are calculated by measuring initial and final weights of test section and exposed time. In addition, the bubble absorption processes are visualized using the shadow graphic method. The results show that the absorption performance is significantly enhanced up to 4 times by adding the surfactants and up to 3 times in the binary nanofluids.

Sn-base solder bump is mainly used in micro-joining for flip chip package. The quantity of intermetallic compounds that was formed between Cu pad and solder interface importantly affects reliability. In this research, micro-bump was fabricated by two binary electroplating and the intermetallic compounds(IMCs) was estimated quantitatively. When the micro Sn-Ag solder bump was made by electroplating, SiC powder was added in the plating solution for protecting of intermetallic growth. Then, the intermetallic compounds growth was decrease with increase of amount of SiC power. However, if the mount of SiC particle exceeds 4 g/L, the effect of the growth restraint decrease rapidly.

Nanomaterials have emerged as new building blocks to construct light energy harvesting assemblies. Size dependent properties provide the basis for developing new and effective systems with semiconductor nanoparticles, quantized charging effects in metal nanoparticle or their combinations in 2 and 3 dimensions for expanding the possibility of developing new strategies for photovoltaic system. As top-down approach, we developed a simple and effective method for the large scale formation of self-assembled Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$ (CIGS) nanostructures by ion beam irradiation. The compositional changes and morphological evolution were observed as a function of the irradiation time. As the ion irradiation time increased, the nano-dots were transformed into a nano-ridge structure due to the difference in the sputtering yields and diffusion rates of each element and the competition between sputtering and diffusion processes during irradiation. As bottom-up approach, we developed the growth of CIGS nanowires using thermal-chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Vapor-phase synthesis is probably the most extensively explored approach to the formation of 1D nanostructures such as whiskers, nanorods, and nanowires. However, unlike binary or ternary chalcogenides, the synthesis of quaternary CIGS nanostructures is challenging because of the difficulty in controlling the stoichiometry and phase structure. We introduced a method for synthesis of the single crystalline CIGS nanowires in the form of chalcopyrite using thermal-CVD without catalyst. It was confirmed that the CIGS nanowires are epitaxially grown on a sapphire substrate, having a length ranged from 3 to 100 micrometers and a diameter from 30 to 500 nm.
