Construction of a liquid membrane type of cupric ion selective electrode and its application to the potentiometric titration have been studied. A liquid ion-exchange membrance was prepared by extracting Cu(II) in aqueous solution into 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol/nitrobenzene. A Ag/AgCl internal reference electrode was dipped into the aqueous reference solution of $1.00 {\times} 10^{-3}M\;Cu(NO_3)_2$ buffered with HAc-NaAc buffer solution, which was in contact with the nitrobenzene extract. The electrode showed the nernstian response to Cu(II) in the concentration range from $1.00{\times} 10^{-6}$ to $1.00{\times} 10^{-3}$M. The most suitable ion-exchanger concentration in the liquid membrane was $1.00{\times} 10^{-4}$M. The selectivity coefficients of the electrode for the various metal cations were investigated. The electrode was applied to the potentiometric titration of Cu(II) with EDTA.

Fabrication of good quality P-type GaN remained as a challenge for many years which hindered the III-V nitrides from yielding visible light emitting devices. Firstly Amano et al succeeded in obtaining P-type GaN films using Mg doping and post Low Energy Electron Beam Irradiation (LEEBI) treatment. However only few region of the P-GaN was activated by LEEBI treatment. Later Nakamura et al succeeded in producing good quality P-GaN by thermal annealing method in which the as deposited P-GaN samples were annealed in N2 ambient at temperatures above $600^{\circ}C$. The carrier concentration of N type and P-type GaN differs by one order which have a major effect in AlGaN based deep UV-LED fabrication. So increasing the P-type GaN concentration becomes necessary. In this study we have proposed a novel method of activating P-type GaN by electrochemical potentiostatic method. Hydrogen bond in the Mg-H complexes of the P-type GaN is removed by electrochemical reaction using KOH solution as an electrolyte solution. Full structure LED sample grown by MOCVD serves as anode and platinum electrode serves as cathode. Experiments are performed by varying KOH concentration, process time and applied voltage. Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) analysis is performed to determine the hydrogen concentration in the P-GaN sample activated by annealing and electrochemical method. Results suggest that the hydrogen concentration is lesser in P-GaN sample activated by electrochemical method than conventional annealing method. The output power of the LED is also enhanced for full structure samples with electrochemical activated P-GaN. Thus we propose an efficient method for P-GaN activation by electrochemical reaction. 30% improvement in light output is obtained by electrochemical activation method.

Lysine produced during microbial fermentation is usually recovered by an ion-exchange process, in which lysine is first converted to the cationic form (by lowering the pH to less than 2.0 with sulfuric acid) and then fed to a cationexchange column containing an exchanger that has a sulfone group with a weak counterion such as NH;. Ammonia water with a pH above 11 is then supplied to the column to displace the purified lysine from the column and allow its recovery. To enhance the adsorption capacity and for a possible reduction in chemical consumption, monovalent lysine fed at pH 4 was investigated in comparison with conventional divalent lysine fed at pH 1.5. The adsorption capacity increased by more than 70% on a mass basis using pH 4 feeding compared with pH 1.5 feeding. Lysine adsorbed at pH 4 started to elute earlier than that adsorbed at pH 1.5 when ammonia water was used as the eluant solution, and the extent of early elution became more notable at lower concentrations of ammonia. Moreover, the elution of monovalent lysine fed at pH 4 displayed a stiffer front boundary and higher peak concentration. However, when the ammonium concentration was greater than 2.0 N, complete saturation of the bed was delayed during adsorption and the percent recovery yield from elution was lowered., both drawbacks that were considered inevitable features originating from the increased adsorption of monovalent lysine.

A semi-empirical method to determine the electrostatic characteristics of a diode type corona aerosol charger based on ion current measurement and electrostatic charging theory was presented. Results from mathematical model were in agreement with those from experimental investigation of the charger. Current-voltage characteristics, $N_{i}t$ product and charge distribution against aerosol size were obtained. It was shown that the space charge was significant and must be taken into account at high ion number concentration and low flow rate. Additionally, significant particle loss was evident for particles smaller than 20 nm in diameter where their electrical mobility was high. Increase in charging efficiency may be achieved by introducing surrounding sheath flow and applying AC high voltage. Overall, the approach was found to be useful in characterizing the aerosol charger.

The electrical effects of dry-etch on n-type GaN by an inductively coupled $Cl_2/CH_4/H_2/Ar$ plasma were investigated as a function of ion energy, by means of ohmic and Schottky metallization method. The specific contact resistivity(${\rho}_c$) of ohmic contact was decreased, while the leakage current in Schottky diode was increased with increasing ion energy due to the preferential sputtering of nitrogen. At a higher rf power, an additional effect of damage was found on the etched sample, which was sensitive to the dopant concentration in terms of the ${\rho}_c$ of ohmic contact. This was attributed to the effects such as the formation of deep acceptor as well as the electron-enriched surface layer within the depletion layer. Furthermore, thermal annealing process enhanced the ohmic and Schottky property of heavily damaged surface.

To examine the solution structure of electrolytes, it is very important to understand ion-ion and ion-solvent interactions. In this review, we introduce the basic principle of dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) and studies of electrolyte structure. DRS is a type of impedance method, which measures the dielectric properties of electrolytes over a high frequency domain at levels of tens of GHz. Therefore, DRS provides information on the different polar chemical species present in the electrolyte, including the type and concentration of free solvents and ion pairs with dipole moments. The information of DRS is complementary to the information of conventional analytical techniques (Infrared/Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), etc.) and thus enables a broad understanding of electrolyte structure.

A new type solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) composed of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate ($LiCF_{3}SO_{3}$) was prepared by means of the solution cast technique to observe that Li ion can move by ion hopping decoupled from polymer segmental motion inside of the 'fast cationic transport process'. The highest ion conductivity of the SPEs obtained from ac impedance measurements was $1.42{\times}10^{-3}S/cm$ at room temperature for SPE with 80wt% of salt concentration. Using LSV, we found that the SPEs had good electrochemical stabilities and using FT-IR and AFM, we found the formation of network-like structure.

Ion-pair model was predominated over ion-interaction model in the retention mechanism of analytes when tetramethylammonium bromide (TMAB) was used as a counter-ion in the investigation of aromatic sulfonic acids on the reversed-phase liquid chromatography by $C_{18}$ column as a stationary phase. The capacity factors of analytes were influenced by the type and concentration of counter-ions, concentrations of methanol and co-anion, types and position of functional group, and the pH mobile phase. Components of analyte mixture could be separated under the optimum conditions by this method.

Ion exchange performance to remove Ammonium in water was studied using commercially available strong acidic cationic exchange resin of $Na^+$ type in the batch and continuous column reactors. The performance was tested using the effluent concentration histories for continuous column or equilibrium concentrations for batch reactor as a function of time until resins were exhausted or reached ionic equilibrium between resin and solution. The results shoed that cationic exchange resin used in this study was more effective than activated carbon or zeolite for ammonium removal. Ammonium removal with the ion exchange resin temperature to be high qualitative recording minuteness but increases about seasonal change of temperature was judged with the public law where the adaptability is excellent. When the pH comes to be high at 11 degree, the ammonium was not effectively removed.

An investigation on the effect of electrostatic drift field which can bring an additional aid to the photogenerated carrier collection in one side of the silicon solar cell has been carried out. The drift field was produced by the gradient of boron concentration in the p-type side in virtue of the strain compensation due to the tin dopant. A new method of ion implantation which is based on the principle of chiefly radiation-enhanced diffusion is adopted for forming the p-n junction in the solar cell. The open circuit voltage and the conversion efficiency of the ion-implanted silicon solar cell sample can be figured out to be 0.44 V and 5%, respectively.
