This study shows that catalytic activity of bimetallic RhPt nanoparticle arrays under CO oxidation can be tuned by varying the size and composition of nanoparticles. The tuning of size of RhPt nanoparticles was achieved by changing concentration of rhodium and platinum precursors in one-step polyol synthesis. Two-dimensional RhPt bimetallic nanoparticle arrays in different size and composition were prepared through Langmuir-Blodgett thin film technique. CO oxidation was carried out on these two-dimensional nanoparticle arrays, revealing higher activity on the smaller nanoparticles compared to the bigger nanoparticles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results indicate the preferential surface segregation of Rh compared to Pt on the smaller nanoparticles, which is consistent with the thermodynamic analysis. Because the catalytic activity is associated with differences in the rates of $O_2$ dissociative adsorption between Pt and Rh, this paper suppose that the surface segregation of Rh on the smaller bimetallic nanoparticles is responsible for the higher catalytic activity in CO oxidation. This result suggests a control mechanism of catalytic activity via synthetic approaches of colloid nanoparticles, with possible application in rational design of nanocatalysts.

Maxwell displacement current (MDC) measuring technique has been applied on the study of monolayers of fatty acid and polyamic acid mixture. The displacement current was generated from monolayers on the water surface by monolayer compression and expansion. Displacement current was generated when the area per molecule was about 132 $^2$and 115 $^2$just before the initial rise of the surface pressure during the 1st and 2nd mixed monolayer compressions cycle, respectively. Maxwell displacement currents were investigated in connection with mixed monolayer compression cycles. It was found that the maximum of MDC appeared at the molecular area just before the initial rise of surface pressure in compression cycles. Ultra thin film of fatty acid and polyamic acid mixture was prepared on the hydrophilic quartz plate by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method. The precursor LB film was heated in a vacuum dry oven at 12$0^{\circ}C$ in order to convert it into the LB film of polyimide. The absorption spectra of LB films were also induced photoisomerization by UV and visible light irradiation.

Quantum dots (QD) solar cells has received considerable attention due to their potential of improving the overall conversion efficiency by harvesting excess energy via multiple excitons generation (MEG). Although there have been many reports which show MEG phenomena by using optical measurement of quantum dots themselves, carrier multiplication in real QD photovoltaic devices has been sparsely reported due to difficulty in dissociation of excitons and charge collection. In this reports, heterojunction QD solar cells composed of PbS QD monolayer on highly crystalline $TiO_2$ thin films were fabricated by using Langmuir-Blodgett deposition technique to significantly reduce charge recombination at the interfaces between each QD. The PbS CQDs monolayer was characterized by using UV-vis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The internal quantum efficiency (IQE) for the monolayer QD solar cells was obtained by measurement of external quantum efficiency and determining light absorption efficiency of active layer. Carrier multiplication was observed by measuring IQE greater than 100% over threshold photon energy. Our findings demonstrate that monolayer QD solar cell structure is potentially capable of realizing highly efficient solar cells based on carrier multiplication.

Nanostructures, with a diversity of shapes, built on substrates have been developed within many research areas. Lithography is one powerful, but complex, technique to make structures at the nanometer scale, such as platinum nanowires for studying CO catalytic reactions [1], or aluminum nanodisks for studying the plasmon effect [2]. In this work, we approach a facile method to construct nanostructures using noble metals on a titania thin film by using self-assembled structures as a pattern. Here, a large-scale silica monolayer is transferred to the titania thin film substrates using a Langmuir-Blodgett trough, followed by the deposition of a thin transition metal layer. Owing to the hexagonal close-packed structure of the silica monolayer, we would obtain a metal nanostructure that includes separated metallic triangles (islands) after removing the patterning silica beads. This nanostructure can be employed to investigate the role of metal-oxide interfaces in CO catalytic reactions by changing the patterning silica particles with different sizes or by replacing the oxide support. The morphology and chemical composition of the structure can be characterized by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In addition, we modify these islands to a connected island structure by reducing the silica size of the patterning monolayer, which is utilized to generating hot electron flow based on the localized surface plasmon resonance effect of the metal nanostructures.

고분자 주사슬에 벤젠과 sulfonyloxvimide moiety를 가지고 있는 polyamic acid 초박막을 LB 기법을 이용하여 제조한 다음 200 $^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 동안 열처리에 의해 감광성 폴리이미드 LB 필름을 얻었다. Polyamic acid는 THF-pyridine 공용매를 가지고 축중합에 의해 합성하였다. 모든 단량체와 고분자는 원소분석, FT-IR, $^1$H-NMR의 분광학적 측정을 통해 정량 정성분석을 행하였다. UV lithography 방법을 사용하여 금 기판 위에 제조한 감광성 폴리이미드 LB 필름의 마이크로 어레이 패턴을 제조하였다. 형성된 마이크로 어레이 패턴을 따라 두 가지의 자기조립 방법으로 단백질 cytochrome c 단분자 막을 고정화시켰다. 자기조립된 cytochrome c 단분자 막의 물리ㆍ전기 화학적 특성은 cyclic voltammetry와 AFM을 통해 조사하였으며 생물전자소자로의 응용 가능성에 대해서도 검토하였다.

변위전류 측정법을 L-${\alpha}$-dilauryl phosphatidylcholine(DLPC) 단분자 막의 연구에 적용하였다. 변위전류는 물 표면에서 DLPC 단분자 층에서 압축과 확장에 의해 발생되었다. 맥스웰 변위전류(MDC) 발생은 분자 당 점유면적 $200{\AA}^2$ 에서 $40{\AA}^2$에 대하여 관찰하였다. 맥스웰 변위전류는 단분자 층의 압축 사이클에 대해 조사하였으며, MDC의 최대 값은 압축 사이클의 표면 압력이 처음 상승하기 바로 직전의 분자당 점유면적에서 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. LB막의 단분자층 표면 형태는 원자힘 현미경(AFM)으로 측정하였다. 결과적으로, AFM 이미지에 나타난 LB막의 특성은 단분자 층의 배향이 좋았으며 단분자 층의 두께는 약 5~10 nm였다.

인간시각계의 색채인식기능을 모방하여, 가시광선영역의 빛에 의해 전기신호를 발생시키는 생체분자인 bR과 flavin을 LB막으로 제작하고, 이를 이용하여 개발된 인공감광소자의 색채인식기능을 검증하였다. bR과 flavin은 LB막 상태에서 고유의 특성을 유지할 수 있었으며, 가시광선 영역의 입력광에 대해 안정한 전기신호를 발생시켰다. AFM image와 광전류의 크기를 바탕으로 bR과 flavin LB막의 제작을 위한 최적 조건을 얻을 수 있었다. bR과 flavin을 차례로 적층하여 bR/flavin 복합 LB박막을 제작하였고, 이를 이용하여 감광소자를 제작하였다. 광전류 data를 바탕으로 얻어진 action spectrum을 분석함으로써, 가시광선 영역에서 얻어지는 신호의 형태가 입력되는 빛의 파장 대(색)에 따라 다름을 알 수 있었고, 입력되는 빛의 파장과 측정된 광전류의 크기와의 상관관계를 도출할 수 있었다. 입력되는 빛의 색채(파장)에 따라 나타나는 광전류의 형태 및 크기를 비교하고 제시된 관계식을 이용함으로써, 제안한 소자가 R, G, B 뿐만 아니라 가시광선 영역의 7가지 기본 색에 대해 색채식별능력이 있음을 검증할 수 있었다.
