The effect of surface roughness on mirror scattering has been studied. Five kinds of substrates with different surface roughness were fabricated. On those substrates, a dielectric multi-layer coating with high reflectivity was deposited by ion beam sputtering and electron beam evaporation. A total integrated scattering measurement set-up was built for the evaluation of deposited samples. Most of the ion beam sputtered mirrors showed lower scattering than the electron beam evaporated one, which deposited on substrates similar in surface roughness. Over ~2 $\AA$ in surface roughness, scattering strongly depend on the micro-structure of the super-polished surface. The lowest scattering we have achieved is 2.06 ppm by ion beam sputtering from the substrate with surface roughness of 0.23 $\AA$.

The effect of an electron blocking layer (EBL) on V-I curves in GaN/InGaN multiple quantum well is investigated. For the first time, we found that curves were intersected at 3.012 V and analyzed the reason for intersection. The forward voltage in LEDs with an p-AlGaN EBL is larger than without p-AlGaN EBL at low injection current because the Mg doping efficiency for p-GaN layer was higher than that of p-AlGaN layer. However, the forward voltage in LEDs with an p-AlGaN EBL is smaller than without p-AlGaN EBL at high injection current because the carriers overflow from the active layer when injection current increases in LEDs without p-AlGaN EBL and in case of LED with p-AlGaN EBL, the carriers are blocked by EBL.

In this study, the traditional electron-blocking layer (EBL) in (In,Ga)N/GaN light-emitting diodes is replaced by a circular EBL that is the same size as the n-pad. The three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear Poisson, drift-diffusion, and continuity equations are adopted to simulate current transport in the LED and its characteristics. The results indicate that the local carrier-density distribution obtained for the circular EBL design is more uniform than that for the traditional EBL design. This improves the uniformity of local radiative recombination and local internal quantum efficiency (IQE) at high injection levels, which leads to a higher lumped IQE and lower efficiency droop. With the circular EBL, the lumped IQE is higher in the outer active region and lower in the active region under the n-pad. Since most emissions from the active region under the n-pad are absorbed by the n-pad, obviously, an LED with a circular EBL will have a higher external quantum efficiency (EQE). The results also show that this LED works at lower applied voltages.

Changes in physicochemical quality and antioxidant activity of kiwifruits by the low dose electron beam irradiated(0, 0.3, 0.6 kGy) were investigated. Fruits were stored at $20^{\circ}C$ for 28 days and evaluated after 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 week storage. Irradiation did not affect 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities, and pH. Vitamin C contents of irradiated fruits were higher than non-irradiated fruits. Irradiation caused no significant change in total sugar contents and reducing sugar contents. Soluble solid contents in irradiated fruits were higher than non-irradiated fruits for the initial storage period but showed lower increment rate during the storage period. Organic acid contents of irradiated fruit did not show significant effect for the initial and during the storage periods, rate of decline in organic acid content of irradiated fruit were not significantly changed. Results indicated that electron beam irradiation of kiwifruit up to 0.6 kGy is effective in was delayed ripening with no significant changes on antioxidant activity and physicochemical qualify of kiwifruit.

We theoretically demonstrate that the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) energy can be manipulated by means of an external bias voltage in a $F_1/NM/F_2/S$$(F_1:ferromagnetic,\;NM:nonmagnetic\;metallic,\;F_2:ferromagnetic,\;S:semiconductor\;layers)$ four-layer system. It is well known that the IEC energy between two ferromagnetic layers separated by nanometer thick nonmagnetic layer depends on the spin-dependence of reflectivity to the $F_1/NM/F_2/S$ four-layer system, where the reflectivities at the interface in $NM/F_2$ interface also depends on $F_2/S$ interface due to the multiple reflection of an electron-like optics. Finally, the IEC energy depends on the spin-dependent electron reflectivity not only at the interfaces of $F_1/NM/F_2$, but also at the interface of $F_2/S$. Naturally the Schottky barrier is formed at the interface between metallic ferromagnetic layer and semiconductor, the Schottky barrier height and thickness can be tailored by an external bias voltage, which causes the change of the spin-dependent reflectivity at $F_2/S$ interface. We show that the IEC energy between two ferromagnetic layers can be controlled by an external bias voltage due ti the electron-optics nature using a simple free-electron-like one-dimensional model.

The fine structure on the compound eye surface of 2 species(Choerades isshikii (Matsumura), Laphria rufa R$\ddot{o}$der) belong to 2 genera of Laphriinae in Korea was morphologically studied with a scanning electron microscope and image analyser. The compound eye was divided into 3 parts(medial, middle, and lateral) according to a difference in the diameter of a facet. The fine structure of a facet in the medial and middle part was characteristic in Korean Laphriinae. And this morphological character was valuable in taxonomy because of the fine structure was differ from each genus.

A four beam interference optical system for laser micro structuring using a pulse laser was demonstrated. The four beam interference optical system using a pulse laser(picosecond laser) can fabricate micro structure on mold material(NAK80) directly. Micro structure on the polymer can be reproduced economically by injection molding of the micro structure on the mold material. The four beam interference optical system was composed by the DOE(Diffractive Optical Element) and two lenses. The laser intensity distribution of four beam interference was explained by an interference optics point of view and by the image optics point of view. We revealed that both views showed the same result. The laser power distribution of a $1{\mu}m$ peak pattern was made by the four beam interference optical system and measured by the objective lens and CCD. A $1{\mu}m$ pitch dot pattern on the mold material was fabricated and measured by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy).

The ultrastructure of fertilized egg envelope from Pseudobagrus fulvidraco belongs to Bagridae was investigated using light and electron microscopes. The fertilized egg was compressed spherical, light-yellowish, demersal, and adhesive. The size of fertilized egg is about $1.85{\pm}0.13mm$, perivitelline space is not well developed, and there were no appendicular structures on the outer surface of egg envelope and oil droplets in vitelline membrane under light microscope. The micropyle was located in the animal pole of fertilized egg. Adhesive reticular fiber was covered fertilized egg envelope. The thickness of egg envelope was about $3.7{\sim}4.2{\mu}m$, and the egg envelope consisted of two layers: an outer, electron-dense adhesive fibers layer and an simple inner layer with pore. Therefore, the ultrastructure of cross section of the fertilized egg envelope showed species specificity, but studies on the other species belongs to Bagridae were need to get correct information about common traits in family.
