The cell membrane provides critical cellular functions that rely on its elaborate structure and organization. The structure of turtle membranes is an important part of an ongoing study of erythrocyte membranes. Using a combination of atomic force microscopy and single-molecule force spectroscopy, we characterized the turtle erythrocyte membrane structure with molecular resolution in a quasi-native state. High-resolution images both leaflets of turtle erythrocyte membranes revealed a smooth outer membrane leaflet and a protein covered inner membrane leaflet. This asymmetry was verified by single-molecule force spectroscopy, which detects numerous exposed amino groups of membrane proteins in the inner membrane leaflet but much fewer in the outer leaflet. The asymmetric membrane structure of turtle erythrocytes is consistent with the semi-mosaic model of human, chicken and fish erythrocyte membrane structure, making the semi-mosaic model more widely applicable. From the perspective of biological evolution, this result may support the universality of the semi-mosaic model.

레이저 용발법을 이용하여 폴리테트라플루오르에틸렌(PTFE: polytetrafluoroethylene) 박막을 증착하였다 사용한 레이저는 1064 nm Nd:YAG 레이저이고, 타겟은 그라파이트 분말이 도핑된 PTFE 펠릿(pellet) 이었다. 그라파이트는 포톤에너지를 효과적으로 흡수하여 열에너지로 전환시키고, 이 에너지를 인접한 PTFE에 전달한다. PTFE는 전달받은 열에너지에 의해서 열분해 된다. 타겟 표면에서 열분해에 의해 형성된 PTFE 단량체(monomer)들은 기판위에서 재중합반응(repolymerization)하여 필름을 형성하게 된다. 증착된 필름은 투명하고 결정화된 필름이었다. 주사전자현미경(SEM: scanning electron microscopy)과 원자현미경(AFM: atomic force microscopy)으로 분석한 결과, 필름의 표면은 박막의 두께가 증가할수록 섬유구조(fibrous structure)를 보였다. X선 광전자 분광기(XPS: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), 퓨리에 변화 적외선 분광기(FTIR: fouirer transform infrared spectroscopy)와 X선 회절분광기(XRD: X-ray diffraction)로 분석한 결과, 필름의 F/C 비는 1.7이고 분자축(molecular axis)은 기판과 나란했다.

Single and few-layer graphene nanosheets (GNs) have successfully synthesized by a modified Hummer's method followed by chemical reduction of exfoliated graphene oxide (GO) in the presence of hydrazine monohydrate. GO and GNs were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractions (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Optical microscopy (OM) and by electrical conductivity measurements. The result showed that electrical conductivity of GNs was significantly improved, from $4.2{\times}10^{-4}$ S/m for GO to 12 S/m for GNs, possibly due to the removal of oxygen-containing functional group during chemical reduction. In addition, the $NO_2$ gas sensing characteristics of GNs are also discussed.

By using electron beam evaporation under appropriate conditions, we obtained graphene intercalated sheets on Si(111) with an average crystallite size less than 11nm. The formation of such nanocrystalline graphene was found as a time-dependent function of carbon deposition at a substrate temperature of $1000^{\circ}C$. The structural and electronic properties as well as the surface morphology of such produced materials have been confirmed by reflection high energy electron diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy.

Korea institute of materials science (KIMS) use a linear deposition source called as a closed drift linear plasma source (CDLPS) as well as dual magnetron sputtering (DMS) to deposit SiOxCyHz films in $HMDSO/O_2$ plasma. The CDLPS generates linear plasma using closed drifting electrons and can reduce device degradations due to energetic ion bombardments on organic devices such as organic photovoltaic and organic light emission diode by controlling an ion energy. The deposited films are investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) is used to measure relative radical populations of dissociation and recombination products such as H, CH, and CO in plasma. And SiOx film is applied to a barrier film on organic photovoltaic devices.

Adhesion phenomenon is more significant for smaller objects, because adhesional force is proportional to size of the objects while gravitational force is proportional to the third power of it. For the purpose of microassembly, theoretical understanding is required for the Adhesion phenomenon. Authors have developed a force measurement system in an ultra-high vacuum chamber of Auger electron spectroscopy. The force between arbitrary combination of materials can be measured at a pressure less than 100 nPa after and before Ar ion sputtering and chemical analysis for several atomic layers of the surface. The results are successfully interpreted with a theory of contact mechanics. Since surface energy is quite important in the interpretation, electronic theory is used to evaluate the surface energy. In the manipulation of small objects, the adhesional force is always attractive. Repulsive force is essential for the manipulation. It can be generated by Coulomb interaction. The voltage required for detachment is theoretically analyzed and the effect of boundary conditions on the detachment is obtained. The possibility and limitations of micro-manipulation using both the adhesion phenomenon and Coulomb interaction are theoretically clarified. Its applicability to nano-technology is found to be expected.

The passivation (or deactivation) of a metal surface during oxide film formation has been quantitatively explored for a ferritic stainless steel by using dynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (DEIS). For this purpose, the electrochemical impedance spectra were carefully examined as a function of applied potential in the active nose region of the potentiodynamic polarization curve, to separate the charge transfer resistance and oxide film resistance. From the discrepancy in the potential dependence between the experimental charge transfer resistance and the semi-empirically expected one, the degree of passivation could be quantitatively estimated. The sensitivity of passivation of the steel surface to anodic potential, which might be the measure of the quality of the oxide film formed under unit driving force or over-potential, decreased by 31% when 3.5 wt% NaCl was added to a 5 wt% $H_2SO_4$ solution.

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.

Nowadays, the issue of solar cell durability in local weather and environment is a crucial issue. Above all, surface corrosion on solar cell multilayers is a major factor that determines the durability of commercial solar cells; corrosive chemical interactions between air, humidity and chemical species and solar cell multilayers can unfavorably affect the durability. Here, we study microscopic and spectroscopic surface techniques to investigate the corrosive interaction on the antireflective layers of solar cell multilayers under various conditions such as acid, base, constant temperature and humidity. Surface morphology and adhesion force were characterized with atomic force microscopy before and after chemical treatment. Chemical composition, and transmittance factors were studied with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, respectively. Based on these studies, we suggest the dominant factors in the corrosive chemical processes, and their influences on the structural, compositional, and optical properties of the antireflective layers.
