  • 선택 반사를 보이는 콜레스테릭 액정의 planar 배열과 선택적 반사 효율과의 연관성에 대하여 FTIR spectroscopy를 이용하여 정량적으로 조사하였다. Cholesteric liquid crystal(CLC) 내 planar 배열이 잘 유도될수록 선택 반사율이 높아짐을 알 수 있었고, 배향막을 사용하지 않고 shear force 효과에 의해서만 planar 배열을 유도할 수 있었지만 완전한 planar 배열을 유도하기 위해서는 배향막을 사용하는 것이 효과적이었다.

  • Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) arc grown on Ni catalysts employing an inductively-coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) method. The structural and field-emissive properties of the CNTs grown are characterized in terms of the substrate-bias applied. Characterization using the various techniques, such as field-omission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Auger spectroscopy (AES), and Raman spectroscopy, shows that the structural properties of the CNTs, including their physical dimensions and crystal qualities, as well as the nature of vertical growth, are strongly dependent upon the application of substrate bias during CNT growth. It is for the first time observed that the provailing growth mechanism of CNTs, which is either due to tip-driven growth or based-on-catalyst growth, may be influenced by substrate biasing. It is also seen that negatively substrate-biasing would promote the vertical-alignment of the CNTs grown, compared to positively substrate-biasing. However, the CNTs grown under the positively-biased condition display a higher electron-emission capability than those grown under the negatively-biased condition or without any bias applied.

  • The generation of pretilt angle in nematic liquid crystal (NLC) and electro-optical (EO) characteristics of photo-aligned twisted nematic (TN)-LCD with oblique P-polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on the two kinds of the soluble polyimide (PI) surfaces containing trifluoromethyl moieties were investigated. The generated pretilt angle of NLC is about 2.5$^{\circ}$with P-polarized UV light irradiation of 20$^{\circ}$on PI-3 surface at 20 min.; However pretilt angle of about 0.5$^{\circ}$are observed on PI-1 and PI-2 surfaces. The generated pretilt angle of NLC on PI-3 surface may be attributed to the trifluoromethyl moieties attached to the lateral benzene rings. The voltage-transmittance and response time characteristics of photo-aligned TN-LCD with P-polarized UV light irradiation of 20$^{\circ}$on PI-1 surface at 20 min were almost same in comparison with the rubbing-aligned TN-LCD. However, the high threshold voltage and slow response are observed on PI-3 surface. Also, the decay time $\tau$$\sub$d/ of photo-aligned TN-LCD is attributed to the anchoring energy of NLC.

  • Reactive mesogen (RM) is an organic liquid crystal molecule that can be self-aligned to have an optic axis of birefringence when coated over a polyimide alignment film. A free-standing optical wave-plate film consisting of RM and low-loss optical polymers was fabricated in this work, and the film was inserted across the polymer waveguide to form an integrated optical polarization converter. For convenient evaluation of the polarization converters, a waveguide polarizer and analyzer were fabricated in series. The polarization conversion efficiency was measured to be 25 dB for the wavelength range from 1520 to 1580 nm. The wave plate exhibited a temperature-dependent retardation of $4.5^{\circ}$ for a temperature change from 25 to $100^{\circ}C$.

  • The polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors (poly-Si TFT) are the most promising candidate for active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCD) for their high mobilities and current driving capabilities. The leakage current of the poly-Si TFT is much higher than that of the amorphous-Si TFT, thus larger storage capacitance is required which reduces the aperture ratio fur the pixel. The offset gated poly-Si TFTs have been widely investigated in order to reduce the leakage current. The conventional method for fabricating an offset device may require additional mask and photolithography process step, which is inapplicable for self-aligned source/drain ion implantation and rather cost inefficient. Due to mis-alignment, offset devices show asymmetric transfer characteristics as the source and drain are switched. We have proposed and fabricated a new offset poly-Si TFT by applying photoresist reflow process. The new method does not require an additional mask step and self-aligned ion implantation is applied, thus precise offset length can be defined and source/drain symmetric transfer characteristics are achieved.

  • RE(Nd, Sm) elements doped (RE/Y)$_{1.8}$B $a_{2.4}$C $u_{3.4}$$O_{7-x}$ [(RE/Y)1.8] high $T_{c}$ superconductors were directionally grown by Top Seed Melt Growth(TSMG) process in air atmosphere. The (001)melt-textured N $d_{1.8}$B $a_{2.4}$C $u_{3.4}$ $O_{7-X}$(Nd1.8) seed crystals were used for achieving the c-axis alignment large grains perpendicular to surface of the samples. The (RE/Y)1.8 SEM micrographs of the melt-textured (RE/Y)1.8 samples revealed that the nonsuperconducting (RE/Y)211 inclusions are uniformly distributed in the superconducting (RE/Y)123 matrix except the region very close to the Nd seed crystal. The microstructure and superconducting properties were investigated by XRD, SEM, TEM and SQUID magnetometer. The Melt-textured (RE/Y)1.8 samples showed an onset $T_{c}$=91K and sharp superconducting transition. Also, the magnetization value of the (RE/Y)1.8 samples were compared with those of Y1.8 sample at 77 K. 77 K. 77 K. 77 K.K.

  • Both negative and positive substrate bias effects on the structural properties and field-emission characteristics are investigated. carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are grown on Ni catalysts employing an inductively-coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) method. Characterization using various techniques, such as field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Auger spectroscopy (AES), and Raman spectroscopy, shows that the physical dimension as well as the crystal quality of CNTs grown can be changed and controlled by the application of substrate bias during CNT growth. It is for the first time observed that the prevailing growth mechanism of CNTs, which is either due to tip-driven growth or based-on-catalyst growth, may be influenced by substrate biasing. It is also seen that negative biasing would be more effectively role in the vertical-alignment of CNTs compared to positive biasing. However, the CNTs grown under the positively bias condition display much better electron emission capabilities than those grown under negative bias or without bias. The reasons for all the measured data regarding the structural properties of CNTs are discussed to confirm the correlation with the observed field-emissive properties.

  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is known to be primarily responsible for hypertension. Threedimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) models have been constructed using the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) for a series of 28 ACE inhibitors. The availability of ACE crystal structure (1UZF) provided the plausible biological orientation of inhibitors to ACE active site (C-domain). Alignment for CoMFA obtained by docking ligands to 1UZF protein using FlexX program showed better statistical model as compared to superposition of corresponding atoms. The statistical parameters indicate reasonable models for both CoMFA ($q^2$ = 0.530, $r^2$ = 0.998) and CoMSIA ($q^2$ = 0.518, $r^2$ = 0.990). The 3D-QSAR analyses provide valuable information for the design of ACE inhibitors with potent activity towards C-domain of ACE. The group substitutions involving the phenyl ring and carbon chain at the propionyl and sulfonyl moieties of captopril are essential for better activity against ACE.

  • DC/RF magnetron sputtering system을 이용하여 CoCr 박막 및 CoCrMo 박막의 Si 하지층의 도입에 따른 자기적 특성 및 미세구조의 변화에 대해 살펴보았다. 박막의 자기적 특성을 VSM을 통하여 측정한 결과, 고온에서 증착된 CoCrMo/Si 박막의 경우가 CoCr/Si 박막과는 달리 Si 하지층의 두께가 증가할수록 수직보자력값이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었으며 AFM과 SEM을 이용한 surface morphology의 변화를 통하여 결정립 미세화와 균일화가 수직보자력을 증진시킴을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 박막의 결정배향성 및 미세구조를 XRD와 SEM을 통하여 관찰한 결과, CoCrMo/Si 박막의 (0002)우선 배향성이 CoCr/Si 박막의 (0002) 우선 배향성보다 상당히 크게 증진된 것을 볼 수 있었으며, SEM의 단면 측정을 통하여 CoCrMo/Si 박막과 CoCr/Si 박막의 기판 표면에서 성장하는 columnar 구조의 발달을 잘 관찰할 수 있었다.

  • One-dimensional $TiO_2$ array grown on optically transparent electrode holds a promise as a photoelectrode for photoelectrochemical water splitting; however, its crystal structure is rutile, imposing constraints on the potent use of this nanostructure. To address this issue, a heterojunction with type-II band alignment was fabricated using atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. One-dimensional core/shell structured $TiO_2$/ZnO heterojunction was superior to $TiO_2$ in the photoelectrochemical water splitting because of better charge separation and more favorable Fermi level. The heterojunction also possesses better light scattering property, which turned out to be beneficial even for improving the photoelectrochemical performance of semiconductor-sensitized solar cell.
