This study was devised to observe the cytotoxlc activities of petroleum-ether extract of Panax ginseng root(crude Gx) and its partially purified fraction from silicon acid column chromatography(7:3 CX) against sarcoma-180(5-180) and Walker carcinosarcoma 256(Walker 256) in vivo, and murine leukemic lymphocytes(L1210) and human rectal cancer cell(HRT-18) and human colon cancer cells(HT-29 and HCT-48) in vitro . Each cell-line was cultured in medium containing serial concentrations of the crude Gx or 7:3 Gx in vitro. A highly lipid soluble compound in the extract of Panax ginseng root was cytocidal to murine leukemic cells and human colon and rectal cancer cells in vitro In the meantime, ginseng saponin derivatives did not cytotoxic effects at its corresponding concentration. The growth rates of the cancer cells in medium containing ginseng extracts were inhibited gradually to a significant degree roughly in proportion to the increase of the extract concentration. The cytotoxic activity of 7:3 Gx was about 3 times more potent than that of crude Gx, one unit of cytotoxic activity against L121f cells being equivalent to 2.54$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 0.88 $\mu\textrm{g}$ for the crude Gx and 7:3 Gx, respectively. The Rf value of the active compound on silica -gel thin layer chromatography with petroleum-ether/ethyl ether/acetic acid mixture (90:10:1, v/v/v) as a developing solvent was 0.23. The survival times of mice inoculated with S-180 cells were extended about 1.5 to 2 times by the 7:3 Gx treatment compared with their control group. The significantly decreased hemoglobin values of rats after inoculation with Walker 256 were recovered to normal range by oral administration of the crude Gx. The synthetic levels of protein, DNA and RNA in human colon and rectal cancer cells were significantly diminished by treatment with the crude Gx, which can explain a part of the origin of its anticancer activity.

An antibiotic compound was isolated from the culture of an antagonist against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. sesami, Bacillus polymyxa strain KB-8, and tested for the control of Fusarium wilt of sesame in greenhouse conditions. Optimum conditions for culturing the antagonist to obtain the maximum antibiotic activity were determined using different culture media, initial medium acidity, and incubation periods for which yeast -malt extract agar with the initial acidity of pH 5 and over 13 days culture were best. Antibiotic substances extracted by methanol had 2 main fractions, KB-8A and KB-8B, in thin layer chromatography (OLC) with Rf values of 0.35 and 0.67 in a solvent system of chloroform : methanol = 7 : 3. The fraction KB-8A wa purified further by XAD-2, silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and crystalization. Its minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were $12.8\mu\textrm{g}$/ml for F. oxysporum and Alternaria mali, $6.4\mu\textrm{g}$/ml for Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Rhizoctonia solani, and $3.2\mu\textrm{g}$/ml for Phytophthora capsici. Soil drenching of antibiotic KB-8A in the concentrations of $13.0\mu\textrm{g}$/ml and $26.0\mu\textrm{g}$/ml effectively inhibited the Fusarium wilt of sesame in a greenhouse test, which appeared to be comparable to the fungicide benlate of $6.5\mu\textrm{g}$ a. i./ml.

The MFIS-FET(Field Effect Transistor) devices using $BLT/Y_2O_3$ buffer layer on p-Si(100) substrates were fabricated by the Sol-Gel method and conventional memory processes. The crystal structure, morphologies and electrical properties of prepared devices were investigated by using various measuring techniques. From the C-V(capacitance-voltage) data at 5V, the memory window voltage of the $Pt/BLT/Y_2O_3/si$ structure decreased from 1.4V to 0.6V with increasing the annealing temperature from $700^{\circ}C\;to\;750^{\circ}C$. The drain current (Ic) as a function of gate voltages $(V_G)$ for the $MFIS(Pt/BLT/Y_2O_3/Si(100))-FET$ devices at gate voltages $(V_G)$ of 3V, 4V and 5V, the memory window voltages increased from 0.3V to 0.8V as $V_G$ increased from 3V to 5V.

Using chelating agents such as Nitrilotriaceticacid(NTA), ticacid(DTPA) and Ethylenediaminenitrilotetraceticacid(EDTA), with TC-99m were determined in vitro and in vivo. Methods.of separation and determination of TC-99m-liposomes added chelating agents were practiced by thin layer chromatogram scan and gel filtration. Biodistributions of Tc-99m-liposomes in normal and sarcoma 180 cells bearing mice were observed. The results were as follows: 1) Maximum amount of $Sn^{+2}$ to reduction from pertechnetium$(10\sim20{\mu}ci)$ by adding 0, 1, 10 and $100{\mu}g$ of $SnCl_2$ in 0.2 ml of oxygen free water was $10{\mu}g$. 2) The large amounts of $SnCl_2$ were not changed but the small amounts of $SnCl_2$ were much changed by labeling with TC-99m to add chelating agents. EDTA in small amounts of $SnCl_2$ were reduced more strongly than DTPA or NTA. Using a hydrophilic chelate, DTPA, the uptake of liposomes could not accumulated in liver and spleen by a lipophilic chelate NTA were significant in vivo. 3) Uptake by tumor was achived 1.14% of injected dose per gram tissue and tumor to organ ratios were measured in low with TC-99m-NTA-liposomes(+).

ZnO 박막(thin film)은 씨앗층(seed layer)의 종류, 두께, 증착 조건 등에 따라 그 특성이 달라지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 씨앗층의 종류에 따른 박막의 특성변화를 알아 보기 위해, 졸겔 스핀코팅(sol-gel spin-coating) 방법으로 4가지 종류의 씨앗층(Al-ZnO, Co-ZnO, Cu-ZnO, In-ZnO) 위에 ZnO 박막을 성장 한 후 성장된 ZnO 박막의 구조적, 광학적 특성을 field emission scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, UV-visible spectrometer를 통해 조사하였다. ZnO 박막의 표면구조는 씨앗층의 종류에 따라 변하였으며, 씨앗층 위에 성장된 ZnO 박막들의 c축 배향성과 결정성이 씨앗층 없이 성장된 ZnO 박막보다 더 우수하게 나타났다. 투과도(transmittance) 측정값을 통해 계산된 광학적 밴드갭(optical bandgap)과 Urbach 에너지는 씨앗층에 따라 다른 값을 나타내었다. 광학적 밴드갭은 Al-ZnO 씨앗층 위에 성장된 ZnO 박막에서 가장 크게 나타났으며, Urbach 에너지는 Co-ZnO 씨앗층 위에 성장된 ZnO 박막에서 가장 낮았다. 따라서 ZnO박막 성장 시 용도에 맞게 적절한 씨앗층을 사용하는 것은 소자의 성능을 향상시키는데 매우 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다.

The composite photocatalysts of a Fe-modified carbon nanotube (CNT)-$TiO_2$ were synthesized by a two-step sol-gel method at high temperature. Its chemical composition and surface properties were investigated by BET surface area, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The results showed that the BET surface area was improved by modification of Fe, which was related to the adsorption capacity for each composite. Interesting thin layer aggregates of nanosized $TiO_2$ were observed from TEM images, probably stabilized by the presence of CNT, and the surface and structural characterization of the samples was carried out. The XRD results showed that the Fe/CNT-$TiO_2$ composites contained a mix of anatase and rutile forms of $TiO_2$ particles when the precursor is $TiOSO_4{\cdot}xH_2O$ (TOS). An excellent photocatalytic activity of Fe/CNT-$TiO_2$ was obtained for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. It was considered that Fe cation could be doped into the matrix of $TiO_2$, which could hinder the recombination rate of the excited electrons/holes. The photocatalytic activity of the composites was also found to depend on the presence of CNT. The synergistic effects among the Fe, CNT and $TiO_2$ components were responsible for improving the visible light photocatalytic activity.

A processing method is developed for preparing sol-gel derived $Pb(Zr_{1-x}Ti_x)O_3$ (x=0.5) thin films on Pt-Ir($Pt_{80}Ir_{20}$)-alloy substrates. The as-deposited layer was dried on a plate in air at $70^{\circ}C$. And then it was baked at $1500^{\circ}C$, annealed at $450^{\circ}C$ and finally annealed for crystallization at various temperatures ranging from $580^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$ for 1hour in a tube furnace. The thickness of the annealed film with three layers was $0.3{\mu}m$. Crystalline properties and surface morphology were examined using X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Electrical properties of the films such as dielectric constant, C-V, leakage current density were measured under different annealing temperature. The PZT thin film which was crystallized at $600^{\circ}C$ for 60minutes showed the best structural and electrical dielectric constant is 577. C-V measurement show that $700^{\circ}C$ sample has window memory volt of 2.5V and good capacitance for bias volts. Leakage current density of every sample show $10^{-8}A/cm^2$ r below and breakdown voltage(Vb) is that 25volts.

ZnO 나노로드는 큰 밴드갭 에너지(~3.37 eV)와 60 meV의 높은 엑시톤 결합 에너지(exciton binding energy)를 갖고 있으며, 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성을 지닌 1차원 나노구조의 금속산화물로서 태양전지 및 광전소자 널리 응용되고 있다. 이러한 ZnO 나노로드를 성장하는 방법 중에 전기화학증착법(electrochemical deposition method)은 전도성 물질위에 증착된 시드층(seed layer)을 성장용액에 담그어 전압을 인가하여 만들기 때문에 기존의 수열합성법(hydrothermal method), 졸-겔 법(sol-gel method)보다 비교적 간단한 공정과정으로 저온에서 빠르게 물질을 성장시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 한편, 디스플레이 산업에서 ITO (indium tin oxide)는 투명 전도성 산화물(transparent conductive oxide)로써 가시광 파장영역에서 높은 투과율과 전도성을 가지며, 액정디스플레이, LED (Light emitting diode), 태양전지 등의 다양한 소자에 투명전극 재료로 쓰이고 있다. 또한 최근 ITO를 유연한 PET (polyethylene terephthalate) 기판 위에 증착은 얇고, 가볍고, 휘어지기 쉬워 휴대하기 편하기 때문에 차세대 광전자소자 응용에 가능성이 크다. 본 연구에서는 ZnO 나노로드를 ITO/PET 기판위에 전기화학증착법으로 성장하여, 구조적 및 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. 시드층을 형성하기 위해 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터를 이용하여 ~20 nm 두께의 ZnO 박막을 증착시킨 후, zinc nitrate와 hexamethylenetetramine이 포함된 수용액에 시료를 담그어 전압을 인가하였다. 용액의 농도와 인가전압을 조절하여 여러 가지 성장조건에 대한 ZnO 나노로드의 구조적, 광학적 특성을 비교하였다. 성장된 시료의 형태와 결정성을 조사하기 위해, field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD)을 사용하였으며, UV-vis-NIS spectrophotometer, photoluminescence (PL) 측정장비를 사용하여 광학적 특성을 분석하였다.

The graphite/$SiO_2$ composites as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries were prepared by sol-gel method to improve the graphite's electrochemical characteristics. The prepared graphite/$SiO_2$ composites were analysed by XRD, FE-SEM and EDX. The graphite surface modified by silicon dioxide showed several advantages to stabilize SEI layer. The electrochemical characteristics were investigated for lithium ion battery using graphite/$SiO_2$ as the working electrode and Li metal as the counter electrode. Electrochemical behaviors using organic electrolytes ($LiPF_6$, EC/DMC) were characterized by charge/discharge, cycle, cyclic voltammetry and impedance tests. The lithium ion battery using graphite/$SiO_2$ electrodes had better capacity than that of using graphite electrodes and was able to deliver a discharge capacity with 475 mAh/g at a rate of 0.1 C. Also, the capacity retention ratio of the modified graphite reaches 99% at a rate of 0.8 C.
