Ni-doped $CoSb_3$ was prepared by the hot pressing, and its doping effects on the thermoelectric properties were investigated. Single phase ${\delta}-CoSb_3$ was successfully obtained by encapsulated induction melting and the subsequent heat treatment at 773 K for 24 hrs, followed by the hot pressing under 60 MPa at 773 K for 2 hrs. Nickel atoms acted as electron donors by substituting cobalt atoms. Thermoelectric properties were remarkably improved by the Ni doping.

This paper analyzed arbitrary Energy band profile heterostructures by solving Schrodinger\`s equation the Poisson's equation self-consistently. Four different concentrations positively ionized donors holes in the valence band free electrons in the conduction band and 2DEG are taken to account for the whole system. 2DEG from both of the structures are obtained and compared with the data available in the literatures. Differential capacitances are also calculated from the concentration profiles obtained. Finally theoretical predictions for both of 2DEGs and the capacitances show good agreement with the experimental data referred in this study.

Using ab initio density functional calculations, we investigate the structural and electronic properties of porous schwarzite structures formed by $sp^2$ carbon minimal surfaces with negative Gaussian curvature. We calculate the equilibrium geometries, elastic properties and electronic structure of two systems with cubic unit cells containing 152 and 200 carbon atoms, which are metallic and very rigid. The porous schwarzite structure can be efficiently doped by electron donors as well as accepors, making it a promising candidate for the next generation of alkali ion batteries. Furthermore, the schwarzite structures can be magnetic when doped and thus act as arrays of interconnected quantum spin dots. We also propose that two interpenetrating schwarzite structures be used as a ultimate super-capacitor.

Photosynthesis is a highly robust process allowing for rapid adjustment to changing environmental conditions. The efficient acclimation depends on balanced redox metabolism and control of reactive oxygen species release which triggers signaling cascades and potentially detrimental oxidation reactions. Thiol peroxidases of the peroxiredoxin and glutathione peroxidase type, and ascorbate peroxidases are the main peroxide detoxifying enzymes of the chloroplast. They use different electron donors and are linked to distinct redox networks. In addition, the peroxiredoxins serve functions in redox regulation and retrograde signaling. The complexity of plastid peroxidases is discussed in context of suborganellar localization, substrate preference, metabolic coupling, protein abundance, activity regulation, interactions, signaling functions, and the conditional requirement for high antioxidant capacity. Thus the review provides an opinion on the advantage of linking detoxification of peroxides to different enzymatic systems and implementing mechanisms for their inactivation to enforce signal propagation within and from the chloroplast.

Luminescence of bismuth activated CaS, CaS:Bi, prepared in sodium polysulfide is studied. Excitation spectrum of CaS:Bi shows a band at 350 nm due to the recombination process between holes in Na+Ca2+ and electrons in conduction bands, in addition to bands at 260 nm from band gap of CaS, and at 320 nm (1S0→1P1) and at 420 nm (1S0→3P1) from electronic energy transitions of Bi. Emission band at 450 nm is from 3P1→1S0 transition of Bi3+, bands at 500 nm and 580 nm correspond to recombinations of electron donors (Bi3+Ca2+ and VS2-) with acceptors (VCa2+ and Na+Ca2+). Emission band of 3P1→1S0 transition is shifted to longer wavelength from CaS:Bi to BaS:Bi, due to the increase of the Stokes shift by the decrease of the crystal field parameter from CaS:Bi to BaS:Bi.

Photochemical reactions of aromatic carbonyl compounds with silyl ketene acetals have been explored. Irradiation of acetonitrile or benzene solutions containing aryl aldehydes or ketones in the presence of silyl ketene acetals is observed to promo te formation of ${\beta}-hydroxyester$, 2,2-dioxyoxetane and 3,3-dioxyoxetane products. The ratios of these photoproducts, which arise by competitive single electron transfer (SET) and classical Paterno-Buchi mechanistic pathways, is found to be dependent on the degree of methyl-substitution on the vinyl moieties of the ketene acetals in a manner which reflects expected alkyl substituent effects on the oxidation potentials of these electron rich donors. An analysis of the product distribution arising by irradiation of a solution containing butyrophenone (6) and the silyl ketene acetal 9, derived from methyl isobutyrate, provides an estimate of the rate constants for the competitive Norrish type Ⅱ, SET and Paterno-Buchi processes occuring. Finally, sequences involving silyl ketene acetal-aryl aldehyde or ketone photoaddition followed by 2,2-dioxyoxetane hydrolysis represent useful procedures for Claisen-condensation type, ${\beta}-hydroxyester$ synthesis.

To better understand dissimilatory iron and sulfate reduction (DIR and DSR) by subsurface microorganisms, we investigated the effects of sulfate and electron donors on the microbial goethite (${\alpha}$-FeOOH) reduction. Batch systems were created 1) with acetate or glucose (donor), 2) with goethite and sulfate (acceptor), and 3) with aquifer sediment (microbial source). With 0.2 mM sulfate, goethite reduction coupled with acetate oxidation was limited. However, with 10 mM sulfate, 8 mM goethite reduction occurred with complete sulfate reduction and x-ray absorption fine-structure analysis indicated the formation of iron sulfide. This suggests that goethite reduction was due to the sulfide species produced by DSR bacteria rather than direct microbial reaction by DIR bacteria. Both acetate and glucose promoted goethite reduction. The rate of goethite reduction was faster with glucose, while the extent of goethite reduction was higher with acetate. Sulfate reduction (10 mM) occurred only with acetate. The results suggest that glucose-fermenting bacteria rapidly stimulated goethite reduction, but acetate-oxidizing DSR bacteria reduced goethite indirectly by producing sulfides. This study suggests that the availability of specific electron donor and sulfate significantly influence microbial community activities as well as goethite transformation, which should be considered for the bioremediation of contaminated environments.

$Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$의 $Pb_{2+}$ 자리에 치환되어 전자주게 역할을 하는 $La^3,\; Pr^{3+,4+},\; Nd^{3+},\; Sm^{3+}$ 등이 10mol% 첨가된 단일상의 $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ 소결체를 합성하여 이들의 B자리 양이온 질서배열구조를 XRD와 TEM을 이용하여 분석하였다. 전자 주게가 첨가되지 않았을 때에는 XRD패턴에서 공간군 Pm3m에 해당하는 기본 회절선(fundamental reflection) 만 검출되었으나 전자 주게가 첨가된 경우에는 $Mg_{2+}$와 $Nb_{5+}$의 1:1 질서배열로 인하여 단위포의 체적이 8배가 되어(h/2 k/2 l/2)(h,k,l 모두 홀수) 조격자 회절선(superlattice reflection)이 검출되었다. TEM 제한시야회절패턴(selected area diffraction pattern)에서는 전자 주게의 첨가 여부에 관계없이 초격자 회절점이 검출되었으나 전자 주게가 첨가된 경우에 기본 회절점에 대한 초격자 반사점의 상대적인 강도가 현저히 증가하였다. TEM 암시양상(dark field image)에서는 전자 주게가 첨가되었을 때에만 반상경계(antiphase boundary)가 관찰되었다. 이로부터 전자 주게인 $La^3,\; Pr^{3+,4+},\; Nd^{3+},\; Sm^{3+}$등이 $Pb_{2+}$를 치환함에 따라 $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$의 B자리 양이온 1:1 질서배열이 강화됨을 실험적으로 증명하였다. 얻어진 결과는 전하보상기구에 근거하여 해석하였다.

퍼클로레이트($ClO_4^-$)는 지표수 및 토양/지하수에서 검출되는 오염물이다. 미생물은 퍼클로레이트를 무해한 최종산물로 환원시킬 수 있으므로 퍼클로레이트제거는 미생물을 이용한 방법이 가장 적절한 것으로 알려졌다. 미생물이 퍼클로레이트를 환원시키기 위해서는 전자 공여체가 필요하다. 퍼클로레이트를 환원하기 위한 기존의 기술들은 전자 공여체로서 유기물을 사용하는 종속영양방식의 퍼클로레이트환원세균을 사용한다. 그래서 종속영양 방식으로 퍼클로레이트를 연속 제거하기 위해서는 지속적으로 유기물을 공급해야 하므로 처리비용이 많이 든다. 본 연구에서는 원소 황 입자와 활성 슬러지를 이용하여 독립영양방식의 퍼클로레이트제거가능성을 조사하였다. 입자상 황은 비교적 값이 저렴하고 활성 슬러지는 하수처리장으로부터 쉽게 구할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 회분배양 실험결과 활성 슬러지 미생물은 전자 공여체로서 황 입자가 존재할 때 퍼클로레이트를 제거할 수 있다는 것이 증명되었다. 이러한 퍼클로레이트 분해는 퍼클로레이트가 분해됨에 따라 생성되는 Cl-의 몰 농도를 통해 검증할 수 있었다. 독립영양방식의 $ClO_4^-$ 제거공정에 사용된 황 입자의 표면에 간균 형태의 미생물들이 존재한다는 것을 주사전자현미경을 통해 관찰하였다. 그래서 황 입자가 생물막을 형성하기 위한 담체로도 작용할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 황입자가 첨가된 $ClO_4^-$ 분해성 농화 배양으로부터 채취한 생물막의 미생물군집조성은 접종균으로 사용된 활성 슬러지의 그것과는 다름이 DGGE 분석결과 나타났다.
