공정의 단순함과 낮은 전력을 사용하여 구동이 가능한 장점을 가진 무기물 나노입자를 포함한 무기물/유기물 나노복합체를 사용한 비휘발성 메모리의 전기적 성질에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 다양한 나노입자를 포함한 고분자 박막에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되었지만, InP/CdSe 코어쉘 나노입자가 고분자 박막에 분산되어 있는 나노복합체를 사용하여 제작한 비휘발성 메모리 소자의 전기적 성질과 소자의 안전성에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 고분자 박막 안에 분산되어 있는 InP/CdSe 코어쉘 나노입자를 사용한 메모리 소자를 제작하여 전기적 성질과 소자의 안정성에 대한 관찰을 하였다. 화학적으로 세척된 indium-tin-oxide (ITO)가 코팅된 유리 기판 위에 InP/CdSe 코어쉘 나노입자와 절연성 고분자가 혼합된 용액을 스핀코팅 방법으로 도포하여 박막을 형성하여 활성층으로 사용하였다. 형성된 박막 위에 Al 상부 전극을 고진공에서 열 증착 방식을 이용하여 ITO/InP/CdSe 코어쉘 나노입자가 분산된 절연성 고분자층/Al 구조를 갖는 메모리 소자를 제작하였다. 제작된 소자의 전류-전압 특성을 측정한 결과 동일 전압에서 전도도가 좋은 상태 (low resistance states; LRS)와 좋지 않은 상태 (high resistance states; HRS)인 두개의 상태가 존재하는 걸 확인하였다. LRS 또는 HRS 변화를 일으키는 일정 전압을 가하기 전까지는 각각의 LRS 또는 HRS를 계속 유지하여 비휘발성 메모리 소자로서의 활용 가능성을 보여주었다. LRS 또는 HRS의 안정성을 확인하기 위해 LRS 또는 HRS의 스트레스 실험으로 관측하였다. 제작된 메모리 소자의 실험 결과를 바탕으로 전하수송 메커니즘을 설명하였다.

The Cd1-xZnxS thin films were grown on the Si(100) wafers by a hot wall epitaxy method (HWE). the source and substrate temperature are 600℃ and 440℃, respectively. The crystalline structure of epilayers was investigated by double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). Hall effect on the sample was measured by the van der Pauw method and the carrier density and mobility dependence of Hall characteristics on temperature was also studied. In order to explore the applicability as a photoconductive cell, we measured the sensitivity (γ), the ratio of photocurrent to darkcurrent (pc/dc), maximum allowable power dissipation (MAPD), spectral response and response time. The results indicated that the best photoconductive characteristic were observed in the Cd0.53Zn0.47S samples annealed in Cu vapor comparing with in Cd, Se, air and vacuum vapour. Then we obtained the sensitivity of 0.99, the value of pc/dc of 1.65 × 107, the MAPD of 338mW, and the rise and decay time of 9.7 ms and 9.3 ms, respectively.

The silver nanowires (AgNWs) were synthesized by the conventional polyol process, which revealed 25 ㎛ and 30 nm of average length and diameter, respectively. The synthesized AgNWs were applied to the CdSe/CdZnS quantum dot (QD) based transparent light-emitting device (LED). The device using a randomly networked AgNWs electrode had some problems such as the high threshold voltage (for operating the device) due to the random pores from the networked AgNWs. As a method of improvement, a composite electrode was formed by overlaying the ZnO:Ga on the AgNWs network. The device used the composite electrode revealed a low threshold voltage (4.4 Vth) and high current density compared to the AgNWs only electrode device. The brightness and current density of the device using composite electrode were 55.57 cd/㎡ and 41.54 mA/㎠ at the operating voltage of 12.8 V, respectively, while the brightness and current density of the device using (single) AgNWs only were 1.71 cd/㎡ and 2.05 mA/㎠ at the same operating voltage. The transmittance of the device revealed 65 % in a range of visible light. Besides the reliability of the devices was confirmed that the device using the composite electrode revealed 2 times longer lifetime than that of the AgNWs only electrode device.

While the development of a portable plate panel display, thinning, high color reproduction, high brightness studies have been actively performed. LED, OLED is used as a light source. The research on quantum dot is much accomplished by the material of light source. Such quantum dot is the next generation semiconductor nano fluorescent substance because quantum dot has the high color reproduction and flexible display characteristic. In this study, we presented to method of using the quantum dot for implementation of the plate panel display. Quantum Dot (CdSe/ZnS), having a 100um thickness, is spread in PET barrier film. A Blue LED having a wavelength of 455nm as a light source irradiating light to the optical characteristic of the devices produced and evaluated. Also we presented the possibility for application with the color change film of the LCD.

Quantum dots (QDs) have received considerable attention due to their potential role in photosensitization during photodynamic therapy. Although QDS are attractive nanomaterials due to their novel and unique physicochemical properties, concerns about their toxicity remain. We suggest a combination strategy, CdSe/ZnS QDs together with curcumin, a natural yellow pigment from turmeric, to reduce QD-induced cytotoxicity. The aim of this study was to explore a potentially effective cancer treatment: co-exposure of HL-60 cells and human normal lymphocytes to CdSe/ZnS QDs and curcumin. Cell viability, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and DNA damage induced by QDs and/or curcumin with or without ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation were evaluated in both HL-60 cells and normal lymphocytes. In HL-60 cells, cell death, apoptosis, ROS generation, and single/double DNA strand breaks induced by QDs were enhanced by treatment with curcumin and UVA irradiation. The protective effects of curcumin on cell viability, apoptosis, and ROS generation were observed in normal lymphocytes, but not leukemia cells. These results demonstrated that treatment with QD combined with curcumin increased cell death in HL-60 cells, which was mediated by ROS generation. However, curcumin acted as an antioxidant in cultured human normal lymphocytes.

In this study, physico-chemical properties and pollution degree of surface sediments collected at 5 stations(S1~S5) of Incheon H wharf in March 2014 were investigated. From particle size, surface area, XRD and XRF analyses, the sediment samples consisted of similar oxides and minerals. Considering total score of COD, AVS and IL, pollution level ranged between 2 and 3 based on domestic standards. In case of heavy metal contamination, Cd, Ni and Pb were classified as moderately polluted by USEPA standards. However, Cu, Zn and Cr were classified as heavily polluted. With geoaccumulation index value($I_{geo}$), Cd contamination was estimated as class 3. In addition, the calculated enrichment factors of Cd, Pb and Zn were exceeded a value of 1. Site S4 was high as 3.1 in total enrichment factor.

양자점 감응형 태양전지는 가시광 영역을 흡수, 이용할 수 있는 광감응 물질로 무기물 양자점을 사용하며, 이 경우 나노미터 크기의 무기물 양자점으로 인한 양자제한 효과 (quantum confinement effect)에 의해 양자점의 사이즈 조절 만으로 밴드갭을 조절할 수 있어 광학적 특성 조절이 용이하며, 하나의 광자를 흡수하여 두개 이상의 전자-정공쌍을 만들 수 있는 (multiple exciton generation) 가능성이 있어 기존 태양전지가 가지는 이론적 한계효율(Shockley-Queisser limit)을 뛰어넘을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 양자점 및 염료 감응형 태양전지분야에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 TiO2 다공성 필름이 아닌, ZnO 나노선 구조를 이용하여 양자점 감응형 태양전지를 제작하였다. ZnO의 경우 TiO2보다 높은 전자이동도를 가지며, 나노선 구조가 바닥전극까지 수직 연결된 1차원의 전자전달경로를 제공하여 결과적으로 광전자 포집에 유리하다. 또한, CdS, CdSe 양자점을 동시에 사용하여 광흡수 범위를 가시광 전 영역으로 확장하였으며, 계단형 밴드구조를 통해 광전자-정공 분리 및 포집을 용이하게 하였다. 더 나아가 전해질의 조성, 나노선의 길이 등 다양한 부분을 조절하면서 각 변수가 소자의 효율에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다.

A transparent quantum dot (QD)-based light-emitting diode (LED) with silver nanowire (Ag NW) and indium-tin oxide (ITO) hybrid electrode is demonstrated. The device consists of an Ag NW-ITO hybrid cathode (-), zinc oxide, poly (9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK), CdSe/CdZnS QD, tungsten trioxide, and ITO anode (+). The device shows pure green-color emission peaking at 548 nm, with a narrow spectral half width of 43 nm. Devices with hybrid cathodes show better performances, including higher luminance with higher current density, and lower threshold voltage of 5 V, compared with the reference device with a pure Ag NW cathode. It is worth noting that our transparent device with hybrid cathode exhibits a lifetime 9,300 seconds longer than that of a device with Ag NW cathode. This is the reason that the ITO overlayer can protect against oxidization of Ag NW, and the Ag NW underlayer can reduce the junction resistance and spread the current efficiently. The hybrid cathode for our transparent QD LED can applicable to other quantum structure-based optical devices.
