Purpose: Laser treatment has become a popular method in implant dentistry, and lasers have been used for the decontamination of implant surfaces when treating peri-implantitis. This study was performed to evaluate the effects of an Erbium-doped:Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Er:YAG) laser with different settings on machined (MA), sand-blasted and acid-etched (SA), and resorbable blast media (RBM) titanium surfaces using scanning electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. Materials and Methods: Four MA, four SA, and four RBM discs were either irradiated at 40 mJ/20 Hz, 90 mJ/20 Hz, or 40 mJ/25 Hz for 2 minutes. The specimens were evaluated with scanning electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. Result: The untreated MA surface demonstrated uniform roughness with circumferential machining marks, and depressions were observed after laser treatment. The untreated SA surface demonstrated a rough surface with sharp spikes and deep pits, and the laser produced noticeable changes on the SA titanium surfaces with melting and fusion. The untreated RBM surface demonstrated a rough surface with irregular indentation, and treatment with the laser produced changes on the RBM titanium surfaces. The Er:YAG laser produced significant changes on the roughness parameters, including arithmetic mean height of the surface (Sa) and maximum height of the surface (Sz), of the MA and SA surfaces. However, the Er:YAG laser did not produce notable changes on the roughness parameters, such as Sa and Sz, of the RBM surfaces. Conclusion: This study evaluated the effects of an Er:YAG laser on MA, SA, and RBM titanium discs using confocal microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Treatment with the laser produced significant changes in the roughness of MA and SA surfaces, but the roughness parameters of the RBM discs were not significantly changed. Further research is needed to evaluate the efficiency of the Er:YAG laser in removing the contaminants, adhering bacteria, and the effects of treatment on cellular attachment, proliferation, and differentiation.

본 강연에서는 방사광 연X-선 분광현미경학(spectro-microscopy) 중에서, 표면에서 방출되는 광전자를 이용하는 SPEM (Scanning Photoelectron Microscopy)과 PEEM (Photoemission Electron Microscopy)을 소개하고자 한다. SPEM은 입사하는 X-선을 작은 크기로 집속하여 특정의 작은 공간에서 광전자분광학(XPS) 데이터를 얻거나 특정 광전자에너지의 공간분포를 얻게 해주며, PEEM은 입사한 X-선에 의해 발생한 광전자를 전자렌즈 원리로 영상을 맺히게 하여 광전자의 발생 분포를 구하게 한다. 이들은 균일하지 아니한 이종의 표면 연구에 매우 유용한 측정기법들이지만, 그 원리 및 구성은 많은 차이점들을 가지고 있다. 예를 들어, SPEM은 시료를 scanning하면서 XPS에 보다 충실한 타입이고 PEEM은 full field imaging 타입으로 표면변화의 동역학 연구에 강점이 있다. 본 강의에서는 이들 각각의 원리, 장점들에 대해서 설명하고, 활용 예를 제시하고자 한다. 활용 분야에 있어서, SPEM의 경우는 포항가속기연구소의 SPEM으로 수행되었던 DMS, graphene, nano-lithography, OLED, 등 반도체 및 나노 소재, 소자에의 활용에 대한 예를 제시할 것이다. PEEM의 경우는 포항가속기연구소의 응용 예와 박막 형태의 magnetic material에 대한 예들을 제시할 것이다.

본고에서는 유리의 확대력 발견으로부터 현재까지 이르는 전자현미경과 관련된 중요한 이론 및 개발 과정들을 시대별로 검토하였다. Jansen에 의한 최초의 광학현미경 제작으로부터, 분해능의 한계를 해결하려는 노력들, 짧은 광원을 찾는 노력, 그리고 보다 양질의 해상력과 확대력을 얻으려는 여러 과학자들의 부단한 노력들을 특히 전자현미경 원리 및 TEM과 SEM의 초기 개발과정에 초점을 맞추어 생명과학적 측면에서 고찰하고, 아울러 우리나라의 전자현미경 도입 과정을 살펴보았다.

These studies were performed to observe the morphological changes of synapses in the visual cortex of rat during early postnatal development. Specimens of the visual cortex were taken from rats (Sprague Dawley) at 1, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days of age, and prepared for silver impregnation and electron microscopy. The number of synapse and the length of postsynaptic thickening were increased progressively with age, especially 14 and 21 days. The number of dendritic spine was increased conspicuously on postnatal days 14-21. And asymmetic, curved and axo-spinous synapses were increased markedly at the same ages. The present findings suggest that spurt of synaptogenesis in the rat visual cortex occurs during early postnatal development, especially in second to 3rd week period and asymmetric and/or curved axo-spinous synapse is a matured form of synapse with advanced age.

We investigate the sensitivity of symmetry quantification algorithms based on the profile R-factor (R_p) and the normalized cross-correlation (NCC) coefficient (γ). A DM (Digital Micrograph^©) script embedded in the Gatan digital microscopy software is used to develop the symmetry quantification program. Using the Bloch method, a variety of CBED patterns are simulated and used to investigate the sensitivity of symmetry quantification algorithms. The quantification results show that two symmetry quantification coefficients are significantly sensitive to structural changes even for small strain values of < 1%.

A radio-frequency (RF) Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) torch system was used for boron-nitride nano-tube (BNNT) synthesis. Because of electrodeless plasma generation, no electrode pollution and effective heating transfer during nano-material synthesis can be realized. For stable plasma generation, argon and nitrogen gases were injected with 60 kW grid power in the difference pressure from 200 Torr to 630 Torr. Varying hydrogen gas flow rate from 0 to 20 slpm, the electrical and optical plasma properties were investigated. Through the spectroscopic analysis of atomic argon line, hydrogen line and nitrogen molecular band, we investigated the plasma electron excitation temperature, gas temperature and electron density. Based on the plasma characterization, we performed the synthesis of BNNT by inserting 0.5~1 um hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) powder into the plasma. We analysis the structure characterization of BNNT by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy), also grasp the ingredient of BNNT by EELS (Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy) and Raman spectroscopy. We treated bundles of BNNT with the atmospheric pressure plasma, so that we grow the surface morphology in the water attachment of BNNT. We reduce the advancing contact angle to purity bundles of BNNT.

The production of tin oxide ($SnO_2$) microrods on iridium (Ir)-coated substrates was achieved through the thermal evaporation of Sn powders in which a sufficiently high $O_2$ partial pressure was employed. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the product consisted of microrods with diameters that ranged from 0.9 to $40\;{\mu}m$. X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and selected area electron diffraction indicated that the microrods were $SnO_2$ with a rutile structure. As the microrod tips were free of metal particles, it was determined that the growth of $SnO_2$ microrods via the present route was dominated by a vapor-solid mechanism. The thickening of rod-like structures was related to the utilization of sufficiently high $O_2$ partial pressure during the synthesis process, whereas low $O_2$ partial pressure facilitated the production of thin rods.
