Measurement of the ion-induced secondary electron emission coefficient (${\gamma}_i$) for insulating films is hampered by an unavoidable charging problem. Here, we demonstrate that a pulsed ion beam technique is a viable solution to the problem, allowing for accurate measurement of ${\gamma}_i$ for insulating materials. To test the feasibility of the pulsed ion beam method, the secondary electron emission coefficient from n-Si(100) is measured and compared with the result from the conventional continuous beam method. It is found that the ${\gamma}_i$ from n-Si(100) by the ion pulsed beam measured to be 0.34, which is the same as that obtained by continuous ion beam. However, for the 1000 A $SiO_2$ films thermally deposited on Si substrate, the measurement of ${\gamma}_i$ could be carred out by the pulsed ion method, even though the continuous beam method faced charging problem. Thus, the pulsed ion beam is regarded to be one of the most suitable methods for measuring secondary electron coefficient for the surface of insulator materials without experiencing charging problem. In this report, the dependence of ${\gamma}_i$ on the kinetic energy of $He^+$ is presented for 1000 ${\AA}$ $SiO_2$ films. And the secondary electron emission coefficient of 1000 ${\AA}$ MgO e-beam-evaporated on $SiO_2/Si$ is obtained using the pulsing method for $He^+$ and $Ar^+$ with energy ranging from 50 to 200 eV, and then compared with those from the conventional continuous method.

G192.8-1.1 has been known as one of the faintest supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Galax until the radio continuum of G192.8-1.1 is proved to be thermal by Gao et al. (2011). Yet, the nature of G192.8-1.1 has not been fully investigated. Here, we report the possible discovery of faint non-thermal radio continuum components with a spectral index ${\alpha}{\sim}0.56(S_{\nu}{\propto}{\nu}^{-{\alpha}})$ around G192.8-1.1, while of the radio continuum emission is thermal. Also, our Arecibo $H_I$ data reveal an $H_I$ shell, expanding with an expansion velocity of $20-60km\;s^{-1}$, that has an excellent morphological correlation with the radio continuum emission. The estimated physical parameters of the $H_I$ shell and the possible association of non-thermal radio continuum emission with it suggest G192.8-1.1 to be an~0.3 Myr-old SNR. However, the presence of thermal radio continuum implies the presence of early-type stars in the same region. One possibility is that a massive star is ionizing the interior of an old SNR. If it is the case, the electron distribution assumed by the centrally-peaked surface brightness of thermal emission implies that G192.8-1.1 is a "thermal-composite" SNR, rather than a typical shell-type SNR, where the central hot gas that used to be bright in X-rays has cooled down. Therefore, we propose that G192.8-1.1 is an old evolved thermal-composite SNR showing recurring emission in the radio continuum due to a nearby massive star. The infrared image supports that the $H_I$ shell of G192.8-1.1 is currently encountering a nearby star forming region that possibly contains an early type star(s).

Since national GHG reduction target by 2020 has been presented in Korea, the role of railroad has been reinforced within transport system due to the allocation of reduction target into sector. So, it is necessary to manage activity data systematically for the calculation of GHG emission in railroad. Now, the activity data of diesel consumption for NIR(National Inventory Report) are provided from oil supply and demand statistics. On the other hands, the activity data collected directly from railroad operating companies are used for GHG & Energy Target Management Act. This study aimed to assess the GHG emissions using two kinds of activity data related to the diesel consumption of railroad in 2009 and 2010. As a result, GHG emissions based on oil supply and demand statistics was 636 thousands ton $CO_{2e}$, but the activity data collected from railroad operating companies showed 649 thousands ton $CO_{2e}$ in 2009. Also, the gap of $CO_{2e}$ emission was increased in 2010. These trends were caused because oil supply and demand statistics included total diesel sales volume during 1 year and the activity data collected from railroad operating companies were the amount of diesel consumption only at railcar operation and maintenance step. In conclusion, it is important to develop the management and verification system of activity data with high reliability to substitute oil supply and demand statistics in railroad sector.

Various fields have been paid attention to upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) because of its unique optical properties. Moreover, to use the UC luminescent techniques through cell images for identified apoptosis/necrosis of cancer cells have been performed. They have been studied for a versatile biomedical application such as a biosensing tool, or delivery of active forms of medicines inside living cells. UCNPs have distinctive characteristics such as photoluminescence, special emission, low background fluorescence signal and good colloidal stability, which have many advantages compared with the organic dyes and quantum dots. UCNPs have not only a great potential for imaging (UC luminescence) but also therapies (photo-thermal therapy, PTT and photo-dynamic therapy, PDT) in cancer diagnostics. Therefore, we report the enhancement of upconversion red emission in NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ nanoparticles, synthesized via solid-state method with the thermal decomposition of trifluoroacetate as precursors and organic solvent at a high boiling point. The UCNPs have an emission in the field of near infrared wavelength, cubic shape and nano-size in length. In this study, we will further investigate it for cancer therapy with NIR optical detection onto the solid substrate.

We present a novel and simple method to enable spatially selective $ZnAl_2O_4$ nanocrystal formation on the surface of $B_2O_3$-$Al_2O_3$-ZnO-CaO-$K_2O$ glass by employing localized laser heating. Optimized precipitation of glass-ceramics containing nanocrystals doped with $Eu^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$ ions was performed by controlling $CO_2$ laser power and scan speed. Micro-x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy revealed the mean size and morphology of nanocrystals, and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy showed the lateral distribution of elements in the imaged area. Laser power and scan speed controled annealing temperature for crystalization in the range of 1.4-1.8 W and 0.01-0.3 mm/s, and changed the size of nanocrystals and distribution of dopant ions. We also report more than 20 times enhanced downshift visible emission under ultraviolet excitation, and 3 times increased upconversion emission from $Eu^{3+}$ ions assisted by efficient sensitizer $Yb^{3+}$ ions in nanocrystals under 980 nm excitation. The confocal microscope revealed the depth profile of $Eu^{3+}$ ions by showing their emission intensity variation.

In order to realize full color display, two approaches were used. The first method is the patterning of red, green, and blue emitters using a selective deposition. Another approach is based on a white-emitting diode, from which the three primary colors could be obtained by micro-patterned color filters. White-light-emitting organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) are attracting much attention recently due to potential applications such as backlights in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) or other illumination purposes. In order for the white OLEDs to be used as backlights in LCDs, the light emission should be bright and have Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of (0.33, 0.33). For obtaining white emission from OLEDs, different colors should be mixed with proper balances even though there are a few different methods for mixing colors. In this study, we will report a white organic electroluminescent device based on an incomplete energy transfer. In which the blue and green emission come from the same layer via incomplete energy transfer.

We developed ultra-accelerated quantum chemical molecular dynamics and characterization simulators for study and design of plasma display panel (PDP) related materials. By use of these simulators, realistic structure of PDP materials is drawn on the computer. Furthermore, based on the structures, various properties such as secondary electron emission coefficient are successfully evaluated. In this report, we will discuss the theoretical secondary electron emission coefficient for several protecting layer materials and the effect of surface structure on the properties based on the result of atomistic simulations.

In this paper, we report the characteristics inorganic EL device with high dielectric constant materials of PMN, PZT. Fabricated EL device shows stable light emission even at 20kHz -400Volt without any break down failure. Brightness voltage curve of EL device is same with typical EL. As increasing applied voltage, the brightness increased linearly. From the results of Frequency and duty ratio variation, over 50% of brightness increment was seen. Luminous efficiency was increased upto 200V range and saturated over 200V by slow increasement of light emission. We got e bright stable emission of 1733 cd/m2 at the condition of Frequency 35 KHz, Duty 10%, 400V.
